Chapter 918: Move with Your Will!
As the saying goes, once born, second cooked, and third and fourth times are free, after experiencing the first few tentative contacts, he did find that Wu Liang did not show any malicious intent, and even prepared a large pile of instant noodles and all kinds of canned food, as well as large bottles of vitamin tablets and calcium tablets and other bits and pieces for Naruto after he cried that there was no delicious food to eat in Myoki Mountain, so he gradually let go of his guard and became the old toad that was slowly stewed in warm water in the arms of soft fragrant nephrite!
Ten months is not a short time, but it is not a long time, especially under the premise of starting to practice while traveling in the mountains and rivers, and from time to time you can destroy a thief bully's lair to earn reward points and small money to replenish the shriveled purse, the days will pass faster, and before you know it, you have completed all the main tasks before Naruto's cultivation is over.
Not long after being caught red-handed by Jiraiya, the two teams of shadows that had been hanging behind Wu Liang and his party like hanged ghosts twenty to thirty kilometers away disappeared, presumably Jiraiya and Tsunade passed the breath and described the true strength displayed by Wu Liang, after determining that the two teams of dark ninjas could only deliver food and could not have an early warning effect at all, the fifth generation of Hokage Tsunade finally transferred the two teams of dark ninjas who had been sleeping with Wu Liang and his party for a year back to the village, It can be regarded as a remedy, saving the already tight manpower of the dark department and losing ten lives in vain.
With the completion of the most labor-intensive main quest and the absence of annoying trackers behind them, Wu Liang and his party can be said to have completely ushered in freedom in the remaining period of time, whether it is traveling to various countries and appreciating different customs, or boating out to sea to reminisce about the unfinished voyage career, or being a One Piece in the Hokage world, in short, they can move as they please.
Of course, there are still some things that can't be provoked for the time being, such as a serious blackened heavy brother control, a serious middle two patient who is ready to hypnotize the world to end the strife, and the AB brother who is even more terrifying than the devil's flesh man, etc., as long as Wu Liang remains sane enough and stays away from these terrifying existences as much as possible, he can run rampant in most parts of the Hokage world.
In fact, Wu Liang really did just that, after completing the last main quest, handing over about two tons of daily necessities to Jiraiya, who had a headache, and said goodbye to Naruto, who was very reluctant, Wu Liang took eleven followers (including Ranmaru who was abducted and constantly influenced by everyone to adapt to the current life) embarked on a journey, the first of which was set at the country of samurai, the most unique comprehensive weapons manufacturer in the Hokage, and independent of the era---- Iron Country', go and discover the secrets of the clarametal!
If it is convenient, Wu Liang doesn't mind exchanging gold for a batch of high-quality chakra metal to press the bottom of the box, it would be better if he can master the forging technique, Wu Liang doesn't mind upgrading his flying ship at all, replacing most of the ordinary titanium alloy components on the ship with a unique metal that can inject chakra to increase strength, even if it is to take all the gold inventory.
Anyway, there are still a lot of gems and precious jewelry that can be kept as hard currency, at most, it will be a little more difficult to make a move, and it will be pressed hard by others, with the current strength of Wu Liang and his followers, there is no need to worry too much about the trouble caused by rashly selling such high-value items, but some are looking forward to this kind of thing happening, after all, no one has too many opportunities to make a vote from the hands of the wicked, as for the guy who wants to eat black but is killed instead, does anyone still care about the other party's idea?
With such an extremely relaxed mentality, Wu Liang took his followers to the Iron Country, which is famous for producing high-quality ninja equipment, and the quality and quantity are reasonable, and the price is reasonable.
The signs erected on both sides of the road are no longer XX villages, XX towns, but instead the names of various mines, smelters, forges and dojos, worthy of being a country famous for forging and samurai, just from these details it is not difficult to judge that this is a small country that has been highly industrialized and militarized, although it has not been affected by the war, but when it comes to actual combat capabilities, it is not inferior to the ninja five countries in the traditional cognition, It may even be slightly more than the relatively weak Shayin Village and Wuyin Village.
Not long after getting on the road, the two special carriages that Wu Liang and his party were riding were stopped by a small group of ten warriors of the Iron Country who were dressed in full steel armor and each carrying at least two standard chakra short knives. It is not like other small countries passing through to harass women or take the opportunity to extort money, which can be regarded as the most disciplined non-ninja professional regular army that Wu Liang has encountered since he left Konoha and went out.
Good discipline, good equipment, and personal strength, even if it is slightly worse than the ninja, will not affect the combat effectiveness on the frontal battlefield too much, after all, in a large-scale battle, unless it is a surprise attack by White Fang or the four generations when their side lacks top-level combat power, as long as the morale is not damaged and has not been ambushed, it is unlikely that there will be a one-sided battle, and the best situation is just a crushing victory after a hard fight.
Don't forget, the 'general' of the Iron Country, Mifune, is a man who can defeat the reincarnation of the filthy earth in a one-on-one heads-up in the future, how can there be no two brushes under his hands, and he and several other 'generals' who are not inferior to too much strength will at least not lose points at the level of top combat power, and even have a slight advantage in the face of the young Iairo and Terumi Ming, so it will not be surprising to rank the Iron Country and the five major powers on the same level.
In addition to the pollution caused by industrialization and the powerful local samurai, the impression left by the ordinary citizens of the Iron Country is that they are only busy and as diligent as worker ants, and the dozens of waves of civilians encountered along the way are either transporting the mined ore to the smelter, or transporting the smelted steel to the forge, although everyone rarely sees a smile on their faces, they are all passable, and there are no yellow-skinned people at all, and it seems that the quality of life of the civilians is at least similar to that of Konoha Village.
