Hokage: Ryo’s Path - Chapter 463

[Chapter 458]

The country of iron is probably because it borders the country of fire. The food here is relatively close to the country of fire. After Yamanaka Ryo and the others tasted some, they lost interest.

In the past three days, Yamanaka Ryo took Shikamaru and the three around the country of iron until the beginning of the blacksmithing festival.

On the day the Blacksmithing Festival started, Yamanaka Ryo and his party came to the square of the Iron Country.

The leader of the Iron Country, Mifune, was sitting on the high platform of the square. Yamanaka Ryo glanced at him. The samurai’s intuition made Mifune aware of Yamanaka Ryo’s gaze. Mifune turned his head and looked at Yamanaka Ryo, and Yamanaka Ryo nodded at him. into the square.

Mifune wiped the sweat from his forehead and winked at the samurai beside him.

The samurai hurriedly ran down and came to Yamanaka Ryo: “Master Yuan, I am the bodyguard of Lord Mifune, and Lord Mifune ordered to take you to the best blacksmith.”

Yamanaka Ryo smiled and said, “Mr. Mifune has a heart, thank him for me.”

“Where, it should be, it should be.” After speaking, the guard led Yamanaka Ryo to the center of the square.

“Master Yuan, this is the best forging master in our country of iron.” The samurai pointed to a muscular middle-aged man who looked in his 40s.

Yamanaka Ryo waved at him and said, “Hello, Master!”

The master blacksmith said quickly, “You are welcome, Mr. Yuan, Mr. Mifune has already instructed him to try his best to meet your needs.”

Yamanaka Ryo smiled and was not in the ink, and took out two pieces of metal that can conduct chakra from the seal scroll, and a piece of ore added to the forged beheading sword.

This piece of ore came from the pit of Mist Ninja Village when Jiraiya and Yamanaka Ryo went to the Land of Water to collect intelligence. Some time ago, Yamanaka Ryo asked for it.

“I want to use these materials to make two short knives and one naginata, do you think it’s okay?”

Hearing this, the master blacksmith picked up two pieces of ores and weighed them, then nodded: “Don’t worry, Master Yuan, the materials are enough, leave them to me, you can come and get them this evening.”

“Well, then I’ll trouble you. Who, please take my juniors to go shopping?” Yamanaka Ryo patted the samurai on the shoulder and said.

“Yes, yes, but where are you going?”

“Everyone has come to the country of iron, why should you visit your king.” After saying that, the figure of Shan Zhongyuan disappeared in place.

The samurai gave a wry smile and walked around with the three little devils, but it was these three people who were not nervous at all in the samurai’s heart.

‘ Yamanaka Ryo dared to keep his junior by his side, which proves that he has no bad intentions. ‘Thinking of this, the samurai felt more relaxed.

At this time, on the high platform of the square, Yamanaka Ryo suddenly appeared. His arrival shocked the samurai who were in charge of protecting the three ships, and quickly surrounded Yamanaka Ryo.

Just as the warriors were about to start, Mifune stopped them: “Stop, he’s not an enemy, they all retreat.”

“Mr. Mifune, hello! First meeting. Thank you for your help, allowing me to forge weapons smoothly.”

“These are all trivial matters, so you don’t need to be so polite. Speaking of which, did Mr. Yuan forge weapons for friends? As far as I know, your weapons have always been ice scalpels.”

Yamanaka Ryo nodded: “Well, two short knives are given to my friend and disciple respectively, and the words of Naginata are given to a junior.”

“As expected, Mr. Yuan, don’t worry, our iron country’s forging technology is the strongest in the ninja world, and we will definitely forge weapons that will satisfy both you and your friends and juniors.”

“Okay, then I’ll wait and see.”

After that, the two chatted about samurai and ninjas, and Yamanaka Ryo realized that the so-called samurai were different from the pure samurai during the Warring States Period. Today’s samurai also use ninjutsu, to be precise, ninjutsu.

The warriors of the Iron Country originally only had chakra attached to their swords, but now almost everyone is practicing ninjutsu, which greatly improves the warrior’s combat effectiveness.

The time soon came to evening, and the weapons that the master forge helped to forge were also completed. Yamanaka Ryo took three knives from the master forge, thanked him, and teleported back to Konoha with three little ghosts.

After sending them home, Yamanaka Ryo sensed Kakashi’s location and teleported to him.

At this time, Kakashi was on a mission on the border of the country of fire, and Yamanaka Ryo suddenly appeared and startled him.

“Yuan, do you know that I’m on a mission?” Kakashi said helplessly.

“Really? Haha! It doesn’t matter, I won’t delay anything, I promise you this.” Said Yamanaka Ryo and handed Kakashi a short knife.

“This short knife was forged by the most famous forging master in the country of iron. It also added rare metals for forging the beheading sword. Like the beheading sword, it can absorb blood to repair the damaged blade.”

Kakashi immediately took the dagger upon hearing this, looking like he couldn’t put it down.

“That’s it, I’ll go first!” After saying that, Shan Zhongyuan teleported to Zhishui.

Zhishui hasn’t been doing anything recently. He lingers with Otsutsuki Huayang every day. Shan Zhongyuan didn’t disturb their two-person world. He threw the short knife to Zhishui and left.

Yamanaka Ryo’s next stop is Tianzhiguo, Yinin Village, and Orochimaru’s laboratory.

When he came to Yinin Village two weeks ago to replenish Xiaolin’s energy, Xiaolin told him that the work of extracting chakra was about to end, so Yamanaka Ryo would end his journey with the three little ghosts.

After Xiaolin’s chakra extraction is completed, it means that Yamanaka Yuan will have his own reincarnation eye. Once he has the reincarnation eye, with the power of Xiaolin, Yamanaka Ryo feels that he should be able to enter the six-path mode.

However, Yamanaka Yuan didn’t plan to use the six-path mode, because in his opinion, Bing Dun was his biggest trump card, and everything he had today through his travels was inseparable from Bing Yun.

“Yuan, your tour is over?” Orochimaru’s words interrupted Yamanaka Ryo’s thoughts.

Yamanaka Ryo smiled and said, “Well, it’s over. I may be staying with you for a while.”

Orochimaru smiled and said, “You can stay as long as you want.”

“By the way, how’s Sasuke doing lately?”

“Sasuke! He is a genius, and has an unparalleled perseverance. In half a year, Sasuke’s strength has made a qualitative leap. Now he should have the qualifications to open those eyes.”

Yamanaka Ryo was a little surprised. Orochimaru is notoriously strict, and he rarely praises a person like this: “Oh? Is that so? To get such a high evaluation from you, it seems that Sasuke is really working hard!”

“It’s really hard work, do you want to go take a look?”

Yamanaka Ryo nodded: “Alright, by the way, give him the gift I prepared.”

As they said, the two walked towards the training ground of Yinin Village together.
