Chapter 333: The Iron Country and the Samurai

Lunch was almost over and most of the delicious food on the table was eaten by Kaguya.

Fortunately, the quantity is large and the food is full.

Yin Yue and Orochimaru were also full, and the three of them implemented the "Clean Plate" action and did not waste any food.

Orochimaru picked up the tissue on the right side of the dining table and wiped his lips.

It was the first time for him to enjoy lunch outdoors under the bright winter sun.

Although snakes prefer darkness, Orochimaru, who has the nature of a snake, does not need to hibernate in the winter, but being a cold-blooded person, he also likes to bask in the sun.

Now, Orochimaru, who learned that he was about to act with Yinyuejun, was naturally looking forward to it. After enjoying a delicious meal, his mood was even better.

Yinyue raised her hand.

The maid standing on the edge of the rooftop immediately understood and brought after-meal fruits and pastries.

Another group of maids cleared the table.

"There are actually more!"

Kaguya looked at the exquisite fruit plates and pastries brought by the maids, her eyes lit up and a hint of surprise appeared on her face. It was obvious that she would not refuse it.

"Before you go on a long journey, you naturally have to eat well first." Yinyue comforted.

This statement was naturally meant to eliminate the guilt Kaguya would feel for eating too much.

After saying that, he did not touch the fruits and pastries that belonged to Kaguya. Seeing that Yin Yue did not move, Orochimaru naturally did not reach out either.

Yin Yue looked at Orochimaru and said, "After you come back this time, I will arrange for Kabuto to follow you. You should train him well."

"Okay, Yinyue-kun." Orochimaru's mind flashed with the image of Kabuto, and he sighed, "Kabuto is a promising talent."

"Yes." Yinyue picked up a tissue and wiped her hands, then said, "When he has learned enough from you, send him to Longdi Cave for further study."

This sounds like sending college students to study abroad.

In the original work, Orochimaru naturally trusts Kabuto very much, but it is possible that Orochimaru still has reservations about Kabuto in some aspects.

After all, trust is one thing, and Orochimaru taking advantage of people's hearts and using interests to drive Kabuto to be loyal to him is another.

Therefore, Kabuto could only transform into a dragon after Orochimaru was sealed by Itachi and lost his whereabouts.

But now it’s different.

Orochimaru will not be sealed by Itachi again, and Kabuto is no longer a favorite of Orochimaru, after the relationship with Yin Yue, and now everyone belongs to the same ninja village.

Today's Kabuto is more like a student arranged by Yin Yue to inherit Orochimaru's skills.

Orochimaru and Kabuto have no mutual interests.

Because of Yinyue, Orochimaru will most likely teach Kabuto without reservation, and even take the initiative to arrange for him to practice in Ryuchi Cave.

As for how much the pocket can absorb.

It all depends on his own ability.

Orochimaru nodded and said, "Okay, I will contact the White Snake Immortal in the Ryuchi Cave."

"Thanks for your hard work."

Yin Yue said.

Speaking of Ryuchi Cave, one of the three holy places in the ninja world, Orochimaru became interested. He looked at Yinyue and asked, "Yinyue-kun, it has been a long time since Konoha was defeated. I haven't received any news about Myoboku Mountain."

Yinyue nodded, this is true.

Ever since Sarutobi Hiruzen died and the old clan of Konoha was expelled, there has been no news from Mount Myoboku.

Yin Yue also asked Tsunade.

However, the toads of Mount Myoboku had not contacted Tsunade and the Konohagakure Ninja Clan she led, so Yinyue did not pay much attention to those charlatan toads.

Yin Yue does not believe in fate.

I don't even believe in any prophecies.

He came to this ninja world, he is the destiny, he can subvert any prophecy.

"Do you need me to go explore it?"

Orochimaru asked.

After all, he knew that when Yinyue and his group were being hunted and the ninja world was in turmoil, that group of toads joined forces with the original Konoha to target Yinyue.

Orochimaru wanted to know.

Everything Yinyue does now is for the continuation of the ninja world. How can those toads who bluntly said that Yinyue was the son of the devil have the face to live?

Yin Yue shook her head: "Let's solve the problem of the Otsutsuki first. There's no rush for the matter of those toads."

I saw that Kaguya had almost finished eating.

Yin Yue handed a tissue to Kaguya, who took it and stood up slowly:

"Let's go for a walk to digest the food."

Orochimaru nodded, the corners of his mouth raised, and Snake Tongue couldn't help but spit.

With Yin Yue and the most legendary ancestor of the ninja world by his side, Orochimaru couldn't think of any force in the ninja world that could survive if they were targeted. He stood beside the two and just thought: "The three of us are so strong!"

As Kaguya stood up.

Satisfied, she waved her hand and opened up the Yomiuri Hirasaka in front of Yinyue.

At this time, a young man in white clothes, with white curly hair and a pair of blue eyes flashing with white electric arcs appeared. He walked slowly from the stairs to the rooftop.

Came behind the three people.

The servant bowed respectfully, saluted Yinyue, and whispered, "Sir."

Then, he looked at Kaguya again, bowed and said, "Ancestor."

As for Orochimaru, Toneri straightened up and just nodded to him.

Yinyue nodded and said, "Come on!"

As for Kaguya, she kept looking at Toneri, with her emotions surging inside.

Seeing this descendant of Hamura, her emotions were naturally complicated.

As for Orochimaru, his focus at this moment was entirely on Toneri's eyes.

That’s right, that pair of blue eyes that sparkle with white light are exactly the ultimate evolved form of the Byakugan that Toneri has been longing for – the Samsara Eye!

This new eye technique is quite attractive to Orochimaru.

Seeing Toneri nod to him, Orochimaru smiled politely in return.

After that, Orochimaru's gaze remained on Toneri's eyes.

Sheren naturally sensed this.

But it doesn't matter.

As someone close to Yinyue, he didn't believe that the snake would secretly attack him just for coveting the Samsara Eye.

Of course, when he was in the Akatsuki organization, Orochimaru dared to attack Itachi's Mangekyō because that was in the Akatsuki organization.

Orochimaru has no sense of belonging to the Akatsuki organization itself. He feels oppressed by Tendo Pain, but his belief in him is far from the level that Orochimaru has in Yinyue.

Therefore, Orochimaru dared to attack Itachi at that time.

At the moment, Orochimaru naturally didn't dare to do so, nor did he have any intention of attacking Toneri.

If he wanted to study Sheren's eyes, he could do so in a proper way without putting himself in danger.

Sheren quickly followed the three people.

At first, Toneri blindly conducted experiments on opening the Samsara Eye with the Hyuga clan's chief elder every day.

After Yinyue found out.

He clearly pointed out the conditions for Toneri to open the Samsara Eye.

That requires the fusion of the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan with high-purity bloodline and Toneri.

In order to consolidate the Hyuga clan's status in Konoha Village, all members of the Hyuga clan are naturally willing to donate their eyes.

Among the entire Hyuga clan, those with the purest bloodline today are naturally the pair of sisters left behind by the former clan leader, Hyuga Hiashi.

But neither Hinata nor Hanabi wants to sacrifice each other for the greater good.

Thanks to Yinyue's mediation, Sheren promised not to take action against the two sisters, but the two sisters would give him the cold shoulder when necessary.

"Want to study this kind of eyes?"

Yinyue looked at the side, and saw Orochimaru with his eyes fixed on him.

"Of course, Lord Yinyue, exploring the essence of living things is my eternal and only motivation."

Orochimaru responded respectfully.

His breathing became heavy.

Yin Yue nodded and said, "After we come back this time, while studying how to clone the Sharingan, I will let the Hyuga clan cooperate with you to study how to clone the Byakugan and how to improve the purity of the Byakugan so that the Byakugan can be transformed into the Samsara Eye."

"That's great!"

Orochimaru looked excited.

Sure enough, his choice was extremely correct. It was because he followed Yinyue that he was able to appreciate the different scenery of the ninja world now.

Otherwise, Orochimaru alone would not be able to study the Sharingan, the Byakugan, and the final forms of the two eyes so wantonly.

It's like a dream!

After hearing Yinyue's words, Sheren immediately understood that the snake beside Yinyue actually had the pupil technique that could be studied and cloned.

Sheren immediately expressed his gratitude: "Thank you, Lord Orochimaru."

"Haha, it should be."

Orochimaru replied.

"Set off."

Yinyue didn't say anything else and was the first to enter Yomi Hirasaka, which had been opened for some time.

Kaguya followed closely behind.

Orochimaru and Toneri followed at the same time.

As the space trembled slightly.

The dark Yomiuri Hirasaka closed and the space returned to normal, but the breath of the four people completely disappeared on the rooftop of the main castle.

...

...

Ninja world.

Iron country.

This is a country located north of the Ninja Realm, sandwiched between the Land of Taki and the Land of Field.

A more general statement.

That is, it is located between the Land of Earth in the northwest and the Land of Lightning in the northeast, and is a neutral country independent of the border of the Ninja World.

There are no ninja villages in this country, and therefore, there are no ninjas to protect the country.

But it has a second independent armed force that uses chakra, but is different from the ninja - the samurai!

Of course, these warriors are naturally different from traditional warriors who only know how to use swords.

They are a new concept of warriors who can harness chakra and infuse chakra into swords and steel armor.

When he first appeared, it was during the Five Kage Summit, and the samurai of the Iron Kingdom appeared in full steel armor and holding a samurai sword.

In this world where ninjas and ninjutsu are respected.

In Yinyue's opinion, this kind of warrior has a unique flavor.

When they first appeared, in addition to being covered in armor, the weapons in their hands also emitted blue chakra light, resembling lightsabers. At that time, Yin Yue subconsciously thought that this was an image that "Kishimoto" borrowed from Star Wars.

Placing them in the ninja world adds a lot of characteristics to the ninja world where people wear ninja uniforms of different colors.

The capital of the Iron Kingdom.

The buildings here are like the armor worn by the warriors, exuding a unique style that blends modernity and antiquity.

The dark bricks and tiles, the towering walls made of huge stones, and the steps guarded by iron railings demonstrate the majesty and solemnity of the city walls that protect this capital.

It's snowing heavily.

The armored warriors in the city walls were patrolling back and forth, and snow kept falling on their armor, but when it accumulated to a certain level, it melted all when it was stimulated by the chakra.

"Sir, the weather is becoming more and more extreme, and the overall situation in the ninja world is becoming more and more confusing. You don't need to patrol the city walls in person during this period. Just let Rikkaku and I take care of this."

Okisuke said to Mifune in front of him.

At this moment, he was wearing fully armed steel armor. Under the helmet was a round bald head. However, his face was marked with a long and deep cross scar, he had no eyelashes, and his eyes were as cold as the samurai sword worn at his waist.

Mifune stood on the city wall, raised his hands high, took off his steel helmet, revealing an old face wrapped in bandages, with sunken eye sockets, a gray goatee, and he stared at the snowy fields outside the city and closed his eyes.

Yes.

Winters in previous years were not as cold as this year. The heavy snow lasted for more than half a month.

It is true that the north is bitterly cold, and it is also true that the five major ninja villages openly supported the neutrality of the Iron Country samurai.

But that doesn't mean that the flames of war in the ninja world won't spread to them.

You know, now the five major countries...

But it's all gone.

"You're right." Mifune shook his head and sighed, "But as a general, you must not let your guard down at this time."

Okisuke stopped talking.

On the right side of Mifune, there is a tall and strong man who is also wearing a well-fitting armor. He is Rikkaku, one of Mifune's right-hand men.

Rikkaku and Oosuke are both warriors of the Land of Iron, and their strength is not inferior to that of the jonin of the five great ninja villages.

They are proficient in sword techniques such as Iai Slash and Dashaki, and are very powerful.

After Mifune finished speaking, he pressed his hands on the battlements of the city wall, stared at the south where Konoha was, and said in a deep voice: "The Fire Country absorbed the other four countries. Although it did not occupy their territory, it moved everyone together!"

A moment of silence.

Mifune continued: "Does Uchiha Yinyue Mirai need words to describe what he wants to do?"

After integrating the five strongest powers in the ninja world, he was an ambitious lord, and naturally wanted to unify the entire ninja world.

What's more, Yin Yue's control over the five major ninja villages has already demonstrated his dominance and ambition.

"Ugh--"

Okisuke also sighed.

The five great ninja nations are gone.

The neutral status of their Iron Country was naturally lost, and a seemingly inevitable war still came.

This is also the reason why everyone in the Iron Kingdom is feeling uneasy right now.

The situation in the ninja world changed too quickly and too violently, catching them off guard and leaving them no time to react or respond.

"Thank you for your hard work." Sanchuan said in a deep voice: "I will go down and rest for a while, and come back later."

Chongjie's eyes lit up, and then he said, "It's okay, sir, you can have a good rest today, we are here."

Mifune shook his head and walked down the steps of the city wall alone. His old figure looked particularly lonely against the backdrop of the heavy snow.

In the building complex.

basement.

The light here is dim, but very warm. Deep in the hall, there are even vents and luxurious fireplaces for heating.

Isshiki sat on the warm sofa, staring at the leaping flames in the fireplace. He held the famous liquor of the Iron Country in his hand, took a sip, and said with emotion:

"Are you all ready?"

Behind the sofa.

The old and lonely figure slowly stood up, the ancient armor on his body rustling against each other.

As he stood up, the firelight illuminated his aged face. Mifune stared at Isshiki's back like a puppet and said in a deep voice:

"Master, everything is going in an orderly manner."
