The Land of Iron is located in the north of the Land of Fire, adjacent to the Land of Waterfall and the Land of Sound. It is a neutral country ruled by samurai!
Because it is close to the polar sea, the temperature in the Land of Iron is very low. Nearly one-third of the year, the temperature is below zero, and the rest of the time, the temperature is below 20 degrees.
Cold Wind's group of five set off from Wood Leaf, and it took them about a week to enter the Land of Iron.
During this time, Shuichi Kikuchi introduced Cold Wind to the local customs of the Land of Iron, as well as some interesting things about his business, inadvertently drawing the relationship between the two sides. His EQ is very high.
Of course, Aburame Shihei did not forget to teach the three of them Taijutsu, anti-tracking, setting traps, and other skills, making Cold Wind's trip extremely fulfilling!
After entering the Land of Iron, Shuichi Kikuchi no longer rode a horse because the temperature here is a bit low.
It is now late June. In the Land of Fire, this would be a hot summer, but in the Land of Iron, it seems that winter has just passed, and the temperature is not more than 10 degrees.
Shuichi Kikuchi is an ordinary person, so he can't ride a horse in this kind of weather.
So the speed of the group of five instantly slowed down to the speed of a turtle. It was not until the next day that they bought a carriage in a border city of the Land of Iron that their speed gradually recovered.
Shuichi Kikuchi's destination is not the Capital of the Land of Iron, but a city called the City of Iron. Because of the nearby iron ore vein, many merchants and even ninjas will come here to buy high-quality iron ore!
"In order to avoid trouble, should we disguise ourselves?" Cold Wind cautiously suggested.
Although the Land of Iron is a neutral country, if enemy ninjas meet here, the Land of Iron can't do anything about it.
So, it is better to follow the heart.
Waterstop nodded in agreement, "I agree! The Land of Iron, the Land of Earth, and the Land of Lightning are very close to each other. These two countries are likely to send people to keep an eye on this place. We still have to be careful. "
Then, including Aburame Shihei, Cold Wind and the other three took off their Ninja headband and changed into ordinary clothes, pretending to be Shuichi Kikuchi's family.
Shuichi Kikuchi naturally has no objection.
In the afternoon of the same day, the group of five officially arrived at the City of Iron.
At the gate of the City of Iron stood seven or eight warriors in iron armor with katanas at their waists.
This was the first time that Cold Wind had seen a living warrior. He couldn't help but take a second look.
Seeing this, Kikuchi thought that Cold Wind was worried about their identity being discovered, so he smiled and said: "Don't worry, these samurai's duty is equivalent to our village's police force, they are responsible for maintaining order, as long as they don't cause trouble, they won't interrogate the merchants passing by."
Cold Wind was taken aback. Then, he smiled and did not explain anything.
When the five of them entered the city, the warriors glanced at them but didn't stop them.
After entering the City of Iron, Cold Wind felt uncomfortable. This city was filled with a faintly discernible smell of rust, somewhat like the smell of blood, which was very disgusting.
Waterstop and Yuyi also frowned. They did not like the smell.
Seeing their appearance, Shuichi Kikuchi smiled and said: "The smell here is indeed not very good, but everyone can hold on for one day."
Waterstop was surprised and asked: "Kikuchi-san, can you purchase enough iron ore in one day?"
Shuichi Kikuchi smiled: "One day is enough."
The iron ore veins near the City of Iron are very large. The mining rights are jointly occupied by more than a dozen samurai clans. Then, these samurai clans contract the mining areas under their name to merchants to mine and sell. The samurai clans take the majority of the money sold, while the merchants can only drink the meat soup. In order to maximize their own profits, the merchants often mix inferior products in the iron ore they sell.
So, if one comes to this city to purchase iron ore for the first time, whether it is the quality or the price of iron ore, they will have to shop around for ten days to half a month.
Therefore, Shuichi Kikuchi's goal is not the iron ore, but the iron armor and the worn katanas of the samurai clans.
Of course, the cost of purchasing these items is definitely much higher than buying iron ore directly, plus the cost of melting them and recasting them into ninja tools, the cost is at least three times higher!
Normally, Shuichi Kikuchi would not dare to play like this, but now is the time of war, the price of ninja tools is constantly rising, so even if the cost of purchasing, melting, and recasting is high, he can still make a profit!
After the group of five found a place to stay, Shuichi Kikuchi was ready to go out to discuss business.
"Everyone, for the next day, you don't have to follow me. You can walk around here, the katanas here are quite good, so I will go first. "
After Shuichi Kikuchi went out, Waterstop looked at Aburame Shiguro with some worry.
"Shiguro sensei, are we going to follow him?"
"Don't worry, the City of Iron is a neutral country, the security here is very good, and this is the employer's request." Aburame Shiguro smiled and said, "It's rare to come to the City of Iron, let's listen to Kikuchi-san's suggestion and go shopping."
"Shiguro sensei, can I buy a special weapon that can perfectly transfer Chakra?"
Cold Wind thought that since it's rare to come here, he can't go back empty-handed.
Aburame Shiguro glanced at him and said, "Even if there is, you can't afford it."
Are you looking down on me?
I'm a petty bourgeois with a net worth of 600,000 +, can't I afford a special katana?
Cold Wind was about to refute, but after thinking about it, it seems that it's true.
The sword in the hands of Cold Wind's cheap father, Moonlight Hoshino, was called Autumn Water. It was a sharp blade that could perfectly transmit chakra, and his father said that there were only a few such swords in the entire Moonlight Clan.
One must know that Yuuki Hoshino, as a Jonin, can casually take on an A-level mission to earn 500,000-600,000, and there are four or five tokubetsu Jonins in the Yuuki Clan. If this sword is really so 'cheap', it can be bought for 600,000, and with the earning ability of Jonin and tokubetsu Jonin, how can there be a situation where the Yuuki Clan only has a few of such swords?
Therefore, 600,000 is really not enough to buy it.
Cold Wind sighed, he thought that he was rich, but he didn't expect that he was still poor.
However, he still has to go shopping.
The group of four left the hotel, and soon saw a ninja equipment shop, no, a katana shop.
The shop was very large, and the two walls were full of katanas. There were long katanas, katanas, and short katanas.
Cold Wind picked up a katana. Although it was short, it was still longer than an ordinary kunai.
"Cold Wind, the katana in your hand is a katana used by katanas." Aburame Shiguro glanced at it and said.
Cold Wind's face twitched slightly, and he coughed and said, "Of course I know."
Then, he made a pose that looked like he was going to commit seppuku at any moment. It was actually quite smooth.
Then Cold Wind put the katana back and continued to look at the other katanas on the wall.
Next to him, Waterstop also picked up a katana and made a few chopping motions, but he immediately shook his head. Although the katana felt good, it didn't suit him.
Yui didn't even touch it.
"Cold Wind, are you planning to buy a katana?" Waterstop looked around and came to Cold Wind's side.
Cold Wind nodded, "You may not believe it, but recently when I practiced Wood Leaf -ryū Kenjutsu, I clearly felt that six of my seven orifices were opened. I believe that I will soon be able to advance by leaps and bounds, and then inherit the Wood Leaf -ryū Kenjutsu and reach the peak of life!"
"But Cold Wind, I think your talent in Ninjutsu is better than your talent in Wood Leaf -ryū Kenjutsu." Waterstop said.
Speaking the truth in front of the master!
Cold Wind looked at him with a look of blame.
Waterstop was stunned.
