Chapter 257: The Tragedy of Destroying the Door
The fish skin is attached to the fragrant wood sheath, and the yellow and white idle miscellaneous fish and copper. Hundreds of gold into the hands of good deeds, admiration can be demons.
Just like the ninjutsu and ninja equipment of ninjas, for samurai, the "katana" is naturally the most important part of their lives, even more precious than their own lives.
According to the old woman, there are "thirty-six swords" in the "Iron Country", each of which is owned by the teachers of the 36 samurai schools, and every time the former samurai general abdicates, all the strong people who hold the "famous sword" will compete to choose the next samurai general.
Although it is not famous in the world of ninjas, once the "famous sword" is mentioned in the land of iron. Kikuichi Text", "Famous Knife. Nagazen Mi Hu Toru ", "Famous Knife. Izumi Mamoru Kaneda" and other daimyos, that is really a thunderous ear, and their holders are all famous Kudan samurai of the present day.
In the world of samurai, strength is usually distinguished by the "number of dans", from the first stage to the ninth dan, basically the people who can reach the ninth dan are the grandmasters of various schools, and only the masters of this rank can get the "famous sword" level weapons.
"But the first Mifune Shogun must be the strongest here, because he took the last position of leader almost easily five years ago, and there should be few people in the Iron Country who can be his opponent...... Ah, here it is. ”
At this time, the old woman guide, who had lived in the Iron Country for more than 60 years, finally appeared at the border checkpoint of "Two Heavens and One City" after taking Goyuki and Hinata over the mountains and mountains.
Oh? Is that the level?
Under the gaze of the imperial line, a long city wall appeared at a mountain road not far away, and the city wall directly cut off all the mountain roads gathered in front of it at one time, and there was only one entrance in the middle of the city wall.
"You said you had a clearance letter, right?"
"Well, the adults in the family gave it."
"That's good, as a gathering place for samurai, it is very difficult for ordinary outsiders to enter it. ”
Just before leaving, the old woman specially added: "Finally, I would like to remind you that after entering this level, the world inside is not the same as the world you were familiar with before, you must be careful in everything, otherwise it will be easy to have an accident if you are not familiar with the environment." ”
Is it a different world...... Looking at the figure of the old woman who led them over the mountain, Yu Xing turned his head to look at the majestic level, and his eyes showed a very interested look.
"Let's go."
"Huh? I'd like to play more here. ”
"Go in and find a place to stay and spend a lot of time playing, don't rush it."
Oh. After listening to her brother's words, Hinata also jumped off the ice wall on the side, and she had been skating around on it as if she were skating, but the place where she skated was a cliff.
When the two of them entered the level, the first thing they saw was a huge door within a door, followed by several "samurai" in armor standing next to that door.
At least from the outside, these samurai were better equipped than ordinary ninjas, and they wore "layered armor" that was not weak in defense, but also very lightweight, wearing black tights, and even wearing helmets and masks that covered their faces, revealing only a pair of unusually determined eyes.
The face shield of the eyes has special protective lenses, and the raised mask has an air purifying function...... This equipment is really powerful, much better than the equipment of our Konoha Shangnin.
Even the Imperial Tour, which can now be described as a "rich armoured party", is the first time that any country can spend such a huge amount of money on its army, so it can't help but glance at their armor a few more times.
"Two children? What are you here for? ”
However, at this moment, the samurai with a pair of sharp horns on the only helmet among the guards also walked towards the two siblings, judging from his momentum and dress, he was probably a squad leader-level figure.
"Come and visit relatives, the family has always been in contact with the "Katori Shinto-ryu", this time our two juniors came to visit. ”
As he spoke, Goyuki handed over the letter of introduction that Hinata had given him, and the "Katori Shinto-ryu" was one of the thirty-six samurai schools in the Iron Country, and was also the object of the Hinata's in-laws many years ago.
Although the aunt who married the Hyuga clan has passed away for many years, the two sides have been in contact with each other for decades, and Hinata was also invited to the Iron Country when he was young, and was also received by the disciple and teacher of the "Katori Shinto-ryu" at that time.
"What? Katori Shinto-ryu? Wait, are you two ...... A ninja in Konoha? ”
But the moment he got the letter, the squad leader's face changed suddenly! And all the samurai around him also looked at this side suddenly.
Well? The atmosphere is not right? The next moment, Goyuki was keenly aware that almost all the samurai in charge of guarding the level had pressed their hands on the hilt of the sword at their waists, which made his brow furrow.
"Can you explain? Why do you have such a big reaction when you hear "Katori Shinto-ryu"? And it's not a day or two that they have a relationship with Konoha for a day or two, right? Is this a strange thing? ”
"Isn't that strange...... But just three days ago, the sect of "Katori Shinto-ryu" was attacked by unknown people, and from the traces of the scene, it looks like it was done by ninjas. ”
The squad leader said in a serious tone as he put his hand on the hilt of his sword, lowered his body slightly, and carefully assumed a fighting posture.
"Attacked? And it looks like a ninja did it? ”
When he heard the news, Yu Xing's face suddenly changed, but he quickly continued, "Then what about the casualties on their side?" ”
"There are fifty people in one family, and even the teachers and disciples are all wiped out, and there is not even a single living mouth left."
When this matter was mentioned, the squad leader's tone was full of naked hatred, after all, it was one of the thirty-six schools that their Iron Nation was proud of, but it was uprooted overnight!
Such a big deal? When listening to the words of this squad leader, even Hinata, who had always been nervous, showed a look of horror, after all, killing fifty people overnight was not a joke.
"I know what you're thinking, but this matter really has nothing to do with the two of us, on the contrary, we want to get in and participate in the investigation as soon as possible, so ......"
"I'm sorry." But just as Goyuki was about to communicate with this group of samurai, the squad leader shook his head and said, "We have received an order to arrest all suspicious people, although you are only two children, but at this juncture, anyone related to "Katori Shinto-ryu" must do this, I hope you understand." ”
Well, what a good time.
Feeling the resoluteness in the squad leader's tone, Yu Xing knew that it was completely useless for him to say anything, and the next thing was just a matter of choice.
Should we be tied down? If Goyuki was just here, he probably wouldn't mind experiencing what it's like to be in prison in Iron Country, but after all, Hinata was here now, so he had to think more about it.
Inside is the realm of the samurai, and all the rules of the ninja world do not apply in it, and the "Katori Shinto-ryu", who was friendly with their Hyuga clan, has been wiped out, which means that there is no one in it who can help the two.
So it doesn't matter if something happens to Goyuki, but if something happens to Hinata...... That's too bad.
"Brother...... Will we be arrested? ”
After glancing at the eyes of the samurai around her, Hinata, who was standing behind Goyuki, looked a little overwhelmed, after all, it was the first time she had encountered such an unexpected situation.
"If I go with you, can you let her go back first? You see, she's just an eight-year-old. ”
"Sorry, we received an order to ......"
"Okay, okay, I know, arrest all suspicious people, right?"
After hearing the squad leader's words again, Yu Xing had no choice but to spread his hands, and then said helplessly: "Then let's catch it...... If you can catch it. ”
