In ninja missions, the most daunting thing is not the danger itself, but the uncontrollable unknown.

Accurate information is the most reassuring guarantee.

Mizuki rarely goes to the Land of Thunder, and has been there a few times in the past for some reason, mostly just staying in the border area for a while and leaving.

The Land of Thunder in the north is not a pleasant place.

Although the terrain is not as high as that of the land country, the terrain with clear heights is still very uncomfortable.

The deeper you go into the Land of Thunder, the more uncomfortable it is to walk in the rolling mountains.

The mountain streams here are far from the bottom, and the near-straight peaks go deep into the clouds, and the air currents from the bottom to the top roll up patches of clouds.

Mizuki couldn't help but wonder how such a ghost place could give birth to such a powerful country as the Land of Thunder.

Almost all the human settlements in the Land of Thunder have been carved out in relatively habitable places between the mountains, and most of them are located in the middle of the mountains at extremely high altitudes.

Although it may seem desolate, a closer look reveals otherwise.

Although the climate of the Land of Thunder is relatively cold, because most of the areas are within the influence of the ocean climate, it is not as blessed as the Land of Fire, and it can be regarded as smooth wind and rain.

Coupled with the fact that it has no strong neighbors other than the Fire Country, it is rich in products, has a strong economy, and has a large population, making the Land of Thunder the only powerful country that can compete with the Fire Country.

The location of Yunyin Village is not difficult to find, unlike the water vapor of Wuyin Village, Yunyin Village is looming in the clouds, and after walking in, there is no feeling of poor sight.

This time, in order to avoid trouble, Mizuki is alone to represent Konoha in this uncomfortable country.

He was accompanied by Okai, a master of the Iron Country, who went to Konoha Village to negotiate on behalf of Mifune, and was accompanied by a samurai named Rikaku.

It's the first time I've walked with two old-fashioned samurai, and if there was a next time, Mizuki would definitely not act with these guys.

These guys who should have been eliminated by history a long time ago are too boring, when they were in the Land of Fire, they were all armed, the heavy armor never took off, the steel helmet covered their faces, so that people couldn't see their appearance clearly, and they were carrying two long swords, and they didn't want to deal with these "mission props" in the bottom of their hearts.

The weather in the Fire Nation isn't cool anymore, and they're not too hot for that look.

After entering the Land of Thunder, the temperature dropped a lot, and Mizuki didn't have to worry about them dying of heat stroke.

But with dozens of kilograms of steel on his body, with Mizuki wading through mountains and rivers, there was no half of a complaint, and Mizuki had to admire the will of these guys.

"I said, aren't you two tired, do you want to take a break?"

The pace of the two samurai was noticeably slower than before.

After a few days of traveling, it is indeed an ordeal for these tin cans, especially in the land of thunder.

Fortunately, there were no thunderclouds approaching at these times, and even so, it was quite a test of physical strength.

"Thank you for your concern, we are all strong-willed samurai and will not be knocked down by a little fatigue. ”

These dead brains are indeed elm heads, Mizuki sighed.

"Okay, I'm tired and want to rest for a while, let's take a break in the town ahead!"

It was still early before the sun set, so I could have half a day more time to rest than usual.

"Okay!"

The lead Okisuke hesitated for a moment but agreed.

Samurai is a fighting profession that hones one's skills and will, but in the era of the rise of ninjas, it is inevitable that some chakra techniques will be studied and combined with traditional samurai tactics.

But they still abide by tradition, and it is certainly impossible for them to make much change.

Unlike ninjas who use chakra to bring themselves all-round strengthening, samurai are not bad at using chakra only for direct attacks, and they disdain to use chakra's lazy means of saving physical strength.

The training of the body is also a means of self-improvement, and the opportunistic methods like ninjas have always been rejected by the samurai of the Iron Country.

Taking the opportunity to stop and recuperate, Mizuki finally saw the true faces of the two samurai, and it was not surprising that both of them had old-fashioned and unapproachable faces, wearing helmets for a long time, and the relatively cold climate of the Iron Country, which caused their faces to be slightly pale.

Okisuke looks like he's not too young, forty-five or sixteen years old, and a strand of gray hair has already appeared on his sideburns.

The inner corner is slightly younger, and he is in the prime of life, and he is full of arrogance, and he seems to be a good master.

"The wind in the Land of Thunder is so strong!"

Unlike the sand and rocks in the land of the earth, this kind of swirling air current, as well as the mountain wind that cuts the face, is not a resident here, and I really don't want to bear it.

"It's no wonder that the skin of the people here is slightly gray, and the climate is too far from the land of fire. ”

Regardless of gender, most of the inhabitants of the Land of Thunder are bronzed, which is also the result of adaptation.

"It's much better than the cold winds of the Iron Country!"

The Iron Country, which has a similar climate to the Land of Frost, has more days of snow than clear days for some reason, and it may even happen that the snow does not melt for a whole year.

"It's still the land of fire that is blessed with the most fertile land in the ninja world. ”

"yes, haha!"

Mizuki didn't pay attention to these jealous words, the country of fire, which is powerful and has the essence of the ninja world, it is impossible not to attract envy, and a few words of acidification can't change the fact that the country of fire still dominates the ninja world.

"It's not the first time you've been to the Land of Thunder, is it? ”

"When I was younger, I traveled here!"

"That's really enviable, I've only been to some small towns on the border of the Land of Thunder before, and it's the first time I've gone so deep, so I'm a little curious about this place. ”

Mizuki said with a smile,

"Feel free to do so, you two, I'm going to take a walk around the town and see if there's anything of interest. ”

"It's also good for young people to see more. ”

Okisuke nodded to Mizuki in an old-fashioned manner, and said in a rather dignified manner.

Mizuki didn't say anything more, and after saying goodbye to the two, he walked in this still prosperous town like an ordinary tourist.

Seeing the different customs, Mizuki is of course very interested, but the main purpose is not this......

Walking through the streets and alleys, Mizuki observes the situation around him silently.

It didn't take long for a middle-aged man who had staggered past to quietly hand over the small piece of paper rolled up in a ball to Mizuki.

"It's really cautious to use illusion to control ordinary people to pass on information!"
