The next day, the news of the defeat of the Land of Iron's Shōgun spread in a small area.
If the Kage of the Five Great Shinobi Villages were defeated, the news would definitely spread like a whirlwind throughout the ninja world.
But if it was the Land of Iron, or a battle between Samurai, the average ninja wouldn't care at all.
After all, ninjas have been the mainstream of this world for too long.
In their view, the so-called Samurai duel is no different from children playing house.
In this case, even the battle of the Land of Iron's Shōgun is difficult to attract attention.
However, for those who have been inquiring about the news, this information was still noticed.
Land of Rain, in an abandoned building.
"Is Hanzo still unwilling to fight with us?" Nagato asked coldly.
"Until we find a way to deal with your ability, he probably won't show up!" Yahiko shook his head and said.
"Humph! Coward! "Nagato sneered.
"Don't underestimate him!" Yahiko said with a dignified expression, "Last time, didn't he wait for you to be exhausted before he came back to attack? If it weren't for Senpai, he would have won by now! "
Nagato was somewhat unconvinced, "Last time, I wasn't familiar with the power, but this time, I won't show any signs of exhaustion!"
Yahiko sighed, "The power of the eyes is too heavy for you, don't use it if you can!"
Nagato wanted to say something, but he saw Konan excitedly flapping his paper wings and flying back.
"Konan, you look so happy, did something good happen?" Yahiko asked with a smile.
"Of course, it's something good!" Konan scattered his wings and lightly landed on the ground, "I may have found the whereabouts of my benefactor!"
"Really?" Nagato asked excitedly.
"Although I'm not sure, it's very likely!" Konan took out a few photos and handed them over, "Look!"
The two took the photos and saw the scene of the battle between two Samurai, but their speed was too fast, so the photos only captured two blurry afterimages.
After flipping through a few 'mosaics', the two of them finally found a clearer picture.
Before Yahiko could say anything, Nagato was already excited. "That's right, this is the dress! Although he's not wearing a mask, his temperament can't be concealed! "
"Speaking of masks, take a look at this." Konan handed him another photo. It was a red-haired woman holding a baby.
Yahiko was a little puzzled. "Is there a problem?"
"This woman is with him," Konan explained first, and then said, "Look at the backpack she's carrying."
"Backpack?" Yahiko squinted his eyes and looked over. After a while, he exclaimed, "I think I can see a horn in the backpack. Could it be the horn on the Grim Reaper's Mask that you guys were talking about?"
"Very likely!" Konan nodded. "Besides, the woman and the child's characteristics are also worth paying attention to."
At this time, Nagato, who had been silent since he saw the woman's photo, suddenly said, "It's the hair! I still remember that during the Chunin Exam, Garashi said that the most obvious characteristic of the Uzumaki Clan is their red hair! "
"Yeah." Konan nodded slightly. "Although it can't be said that the red-haired woman is an Uzumaki, they are with the uncle who is suspected to be our benefactor. If we connect all these together, we can have a reasonable guess …"
"I know!" Yahiko clapped his hands. "This uncle is our benefactor. He saved us last time because Nagato and his wife and daughter are Uzumaki!"
"Wife and daughter?" Konan was surprised. "How do you know?"
"Isn't it?" Yahiko laughed. "I think it's quite similar!"
"Instead of guessing, it's better to take the initiative to find him!" Konan suggested.
"Okay!" Yahiko was the first to agree. "I've been wanting to thank him for a long time!"
"Nagato, what about you?"
Seeing both of them looking at him, Nagato, who was still shocked by the news, nodded. "Let's go now!"
…
Land of Iron, General's Mansion.
"Sir Aizen, are you really not going to live in the Land of Iron?" Mifune asked with some regret.
"No, I want to see more of the scenery!" Aizen declined with a smile.
"Yes, with your strength, ordinary opponents can't make you improve." Mifune sighed. "If you want to become stronger, you can only learn from nature!"
"That's not it." Aizen said humbly. "I came this time to learn the Land of Iron's Body Forging Technique."
"Body Forging Technique?" Mifune wondered. "Does Sir Aizen not have it?"
"Of course not, but I think the ninjas can replace the samurai. In addition to the magic of ninjutsu, the main reason is the superior refining method."
"Refining Chakra requires a combination of physical and spiritual energy, but Body Forging Technique only requires physical energy. It should be easier than refining Chakra, but in fact, it's the opposite."
After a pause, Aizen sighed. "So, I think if I can create a more efficient way to use physical energy, it might not be able to replace the ninjas, but it can at least restore some of the samurai's decline!"
Mifune was shocked. "Sir Aizen is collecting Body Forging Technique for the future of the samurai? You're even challenging the weak to experience it?"
Aizen laughed. "It's a bold idea, I'm sorry!"
"I didn't expect Sir Aizen to be doing such a great thing!" Mifune sighed and then said in a trembling voice, "Please let me do my part. Let me collect the body forging methods of the Land of Iron … Although it's not as good as ninjas, samurai have also developed a lot of methods to temper the body over a long period of time, such as breathing method, medicinal bath method, hammering method, and a series of other methods."
Aizen 'hesitated'. "Isn't this too troublesome?"
Mifune shook his head. "Compared to your idea, it's just a trivial matter."
"In that case, I'll give you a gift in return." Aizen took out a scroll. "This is a new Body Forging Technique I collected from Wood Leaf. It's amazing, but the ninjas are too arrogant. Few are willing to waste time on it."
Using Moryo as a blueprint, and after his and Orochimaru's joint research, they finally came up with Konoha's Body Forging Version 1.0 – The Rising Sun.
Although it was much better than the average Body Forging Technique, it still didn't reach his ideal effect.
There was no other way. There were too few research materials. Even if he did it himself, it would be difficult to provide much data.
Mifune didn't know what he was thinking and was still hesitating. "Wood Leaf's Body Forging Technique? Won't it cause a dispute? "
The other side was a wandering samurai, so naturally he didn't care. But after all, he was a general of the Land of Iron.
"Don't worry, although Wood Leaf doesn't treat his own people well, he's always good to outsiders." Aizen said. "You just need to send a messenger to flatter him and ask Wood Leaf to make a copy of the Body Forging Technique for you."
"After all, the ninjas don't value Body Forging Techniques."
"It seems so." Mifune suddenly understood and immediately became firm in his belief. "Since Sir Aizen strongly recommends this body forging method, I will definitely give it a try!"
