Chapter 67. A new journey
The Land of Iron, a country covered in ice and snow all year round, is unique in this world featuring ninjas because of its special geographical location, as well as its special and unique samurai profession and combat power.
And because a long time ago, the ninjas had agreed not to make a move against this country, and the Iron Country also adhered to its position as a neutral country, did not participate in any ninja struggles, and acted very low-key, so most people did not know much about this ancient country in the ice and snow.
But don't underestimate others because of their low-key and seclusion, the unique combat power of the Iron Country, the samurai, is not weak at all!
Don't look at the samurai profession once lost to the ninja system, and was eventually squeezed out of the mainstream, after learning the experience and lessons of the old school samurai who lost to the ninjas, the samurai also began to practice and study the chakra, and also integrated this energy system into the samurai profession, forming today's new school of samurai.
Although today's new-school samurai do not practice and use ninjutsu, but after being strengthened by Chakra, their combat power and lethality are also not weak, and they can even slash you under the sword before your ninjutsu is launched!
The best of those warriors are even more able to slash out extremely sharp long-range sword qi, flying and slashing, cutting gold and jade! That lethality is no worse than ninjutsu.
And compared to the need for ninjutsu sealing, it is more convenient and fast, coupled with the special armor and armor worn by the samurai, not only the physical defense is excellent, but the protection of ninjutsu is also not weak, just these few points, it is enough for the samurai to have the strength to match the ninja.
Therefore, although the pattern of the current Naruto world is dominated by ninjas, and the samurai profession has been launched on the mainstream stage, this does not mean that samurai are weaker than ninjas, although in some aspects, samurai are indeed not as flexible as the ninja system, but in the battle between ninjas and samurai, the ninjas who can often suppress samurai have no room to prepare ninjutsu.
The Iron Country is like a sleeping ancient lion, although it seems to be old and old, but the strength and war potential they have are not much weaker than the five great ninja villages in the world, and it is precisely because the five ninja villages understand this, and the iron country is strict with itself, and will hardly take the initiative to do anything, so it can sit firmly in the position of this neutral country that will never be attacked.
If you don't have some strength, just by virtue of the name of a neutral country, it is really strange that the country of iron can still develop to this point, although it is located in a desolate place, and the land is only ice and snow, but people are rich in minerals, otherwise how do you think that the samurai in other countries have almost a set of armor? Is the word 'iron' in the Iron Country named casually?
Therefore, for the power of the Iron Country, you can see a lot of clues from this alone, the resource-rich mineral deposits of the Iron Country, who doesn't look at it, others don't say it, just say that the guy in Konoha Village, if the samurai of the Iron Country are really vulnerable, that guy is estimated to have done it a long time ago.
[Shimura Danzo: Can you stop hacking me? Are all the pots in the Hokage mine?! When you think of something bad, if you want to give any negative example, you must think of me? Take me as an example? I'm also dedicated to the good of the village! Is this also wrong?! 】
Crunch...
Li Hao walked alone in this snowfield, to be honest, in the land of iron, there is really enough desolation, Li Hao has already walked dozens of miles, and he can't see a single person or village.
However, it is no wonder that after all, most of the land in the Iron Country is covered with thick ice and snow, which cannot be melted all year round, and the land cannot be cultivated, so the citizens of the Iron Country naturally do not live here, so this has formed the characteristics of the Iron Country as a vast and sparsely populated land.
Most of the areas of the Iron Country are uninhabited, and there are only a few habitable national gathering points, which are very lively, not inferior to those big cities in other countries, the Great Ninja Village.
Rustling .....
A slight footstep movement/movement came from the front, Li Hao glanced lightly in the direction where the voice came from, and the expression on his face instantly became a little impatient.
The devil knows why, the more inaccessible and desolate the place, the more robbers and robbers are blocking the road, since he entered this ice field three days ago, he has encountered no less than four waves of roadblocks, an average of one wave a day.
"Kid in front! Stand up to Uncle Ben! ”
"Boy, stand still and don't move! Otherwise, don't blame Uncle Ben for being polite! ”
“.......”
Li Hao didn't stop, still walking forward unhurriedly, raising his eyes to look at the robbers who were running towards him, these people were different from the waves of ragged 'refugee' robbers he had encountered before, each of them had more than one weapon, and they were also covered with broken half-body armor, and the sturdy middle-aged man at the beginning was even more fully armed, with a heavy full-body armor, except for the face exposed, the whole person was wrapped in steel.
"Is this an encounter with an 'elite monster'?" Li Hao muttered to himself jokingly.
Looking at the appearance of those robbers, it is obvious that they have been trained, especially the middle-aged man who took the lead, wearing heavy armor, is not slow at all when running in the snow, and this person is not light in terms of body shape or armor and weapons, but he didn't make much movement on the way to run quickly on the snow, which is a bit interesting.
That guy seems to be in good shape.
The distance between the two sides quickly began to get closer, and when he saw Li Haona not only not evacuate in a panic, but walked towards him with a faint face, the middle-aged man had already vaguely felt that the object of their robbery this time seemed to be a little troublesome.
And when he saw Li Hao casually pull out a slender sword more than two meters long from the void, an ominous premonition suddenly rose in his heart, this guy ...... I'm afraid they've really got into trouble this time!
But he didn't stop there, even if it could be a nuisance. They've all rushed over, could it be that they can still be scared because of this? Reflexively leaving? Isn't that a joke? Since you think that guy might be a threat, then just cut it directly!
It's close! The middle-aged man was like a charging snowfield bear, with irresistible strength and momentum, he suddenly pounced towards Li Hao!
"Flash!" This guy is obviously a warrior who is not weak, and after approaching ten meters in front of Li Hao, the middle-aged man shouted loudly and broke out suddenly.
Rumble!
At that moment, the middle-aged man's whole person instantly turned into an afterimage that could not be captured by the naked eye, and the extreme speed even brought out circles of ripples and detonation in the air around him, with unstoppable momentum and strength, he brazenly drew his sword and slashed!
