Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 1466: Samurai and Ninjas of the New Era

The mainstream superhumans nowadays are those with powerful demons.

The number of these psychics is at least a hundred times greater than that of those with demonic powers.

Many people know that demonic powers definitely have hidden dangers, but after watching people around them become superhumans and break the limits of the human body, the pursuit and worship of power makes these people unable to bear it.

What's more, many people are extremely confident in themselves and think that they are different from others. In other words, other people may lose control, but they definitely cannot.

"It's ironic that demons come to a school for psychics. They also want to learn psychic powers."

Most people think that even though they were not able to become psychics before, after becoming demon users, they may be able to become psychics.

"They don't know that psychic power and demonic power are two incompatible forces. Even if they really learn it, it will only make their own death more miserable."

Alice Nakiri comments.

"I think they probably don't want to learn how to become psychics. They probably want to learn how to use demonic powers."

Nakano Miku thought about it and put forward a different opinion.

She made this inference based on her own situation. After all, magic circuits and magic can be released with psychic energy, so there is no reason why demonic power cannot be used. Maybe there are even demonic power rituals.

It's just that you probably have to start from scratch, from nothing to something.

"They have also learned the strengthening technique and the creation technique, but they just can't learn it. As for the use of demon power, demon power is different from psychic power."

Said Erina Nakiri.

The problem with those with demonic powers now is that, since their power comes from demons and monsters, the demonic power cannot be controlled. But even so, the demonic power allows them to easily reach the limits of the human body, or even surpass them. If they can use the demonic power, wouldn't they become even stronger?
Most of the demon power users are still at the 'fighting' stage, and psychics are no exception. Not everyone can learn the techniques. Psychics who have not learned the techniques have simply learned how to use psychic power, but even so, they are far superior to all other demon power users.

"We need to deal with the mercenaries and superhumans that have invaded the island nation."

Soma Yukihira has made the decision.

However, there is no need for them to take action. The Wu family on the island country is unwilling to be left out. They see the possibility of the Wu family's re-emergence after the arrival of the era of supernatural powers, so they took the initiative to enter the market.

Including the famous ninja Koga and Iga, Koga-ryu and Iga-ryu were the two major schools of ninja in the ancient island country, with their headquarters located in Koga City in Shiga Prefecture and Iga City in Mie Prefecture respectively.

The two cities are geographically close and have historically been friendly and cooperative "peers". However, due to some historical reasons, the relationship between the two schools gradually became distant and even hostile.

In modern times, the two places, as the hometowns of two major ninja schools, have each used their own unique methods to promote their own ninja culture and refused to give in to each other.

For example, the news that appeared on TV, "Civil servants at Koga City Hall dressed up as ninjas to go to work," was Koga City's response to the "Ninja Day" event and promotion of ninja culture.

The Koga Ninja and the Iga Ninja were indeed two armed military groups that existed during the island nation's Warring States period, and the two groups were quite close to each other.

Koga and Iga are essentially armed mercenaries whose specific jobs are detectives and killers. Under certain circumstances, they can participate in military combat as elite special forces.

Their main purpose is to serve their employers for money and they have no desire to fight for territory.

The Koga Ninja Community is an alliance-based community where all members have equal status, and when faced with major issues, they basically vote according to the mainstream opinion; while the Iga Ninja Community is a hierarchical community where all ninjas act according to the instructions of the three leaders of the Iga Jonin Families (Hattori, Momochi, and Fujibayashi).

Koga ninjas were completely dependent on a daimyo for a period of time, and relied on the daimyo to provide them with food, accommodation, and internet access, and were fixed-term contract workers; while Iga ninjas were freelancers who accepted anyone who came to them, and would work for anyone who paid them. Even if they were good friends of the Iga ninjas and were hired by two rival daimyo at the same time, if they met on the battlefield, they would still fight to the death with their high professional ethics.

In terms of ninjutsu, Koga in history paid more attention to treatment and medicine, while Iga paid more attention to combat and hidden techniques. Of course, they have different emphases, which does not mean that Koga does not use ninjutsu to fight. Iga can also poison people.

The samurai family was an extremely influential group in the history of the island nation.

The term "buka" refers to the families and figures of the samurai system, as opposed to "kuga".

The core is the Taira clan and the Genji clan.

The samurai family developed from the family responsible for the military guarding of the territories and estates of the ancient nobles.

Initially, they were just a class ruled by the public, responsible for maintaining public security and order.

However, as time went on, the samurai grew stronger and stronger, and they were no longer satisfied with being merely vassals of the court officials.

Relying on their military force and wisdom, they actually took control of the national political power and then established the Kamakura Shogunate.

From then on, the court officials were turned into puppets and the samurai became the actual rulers of the island nation.

In the middle of the Heian period, aristocratic society gradually formed a development model of "inheriting family business", and specific official positions and functions were fixed.

The lower-class nobles who were talented in martial arts, the "military strategists", were gradually formed by nobles who specialized in military affairs, among whom were formed by samurai during the period when the military nobles were established.

The "Wu family" referred to by these families is a noble family that comes from the "family of martial bravery" and the "Wu family".

This term also includes families with military strength, bravery and those who serve the emperor.

Later, Yoritomo Yoshitomo established the Kamakura shogunate in Kanto, and the shogunate and Kamakura-dono began to be called the samurai.

The shogunate and Kamakura-dono (Minamoto no Yoritomo) used military force to support the emperor, further consolidating the position of the samurai.

Since people who worked for the Kamakura shogunate were called samurai, and civil servants who worked for the imperial court were called "kūke," the boundary between samurai and kūke gradually became clear.

The samurai families attached great importance to the honor and inheritance of their family. They received strict samurai education from an early age, learning martial arts, etiquette and cultural knowledge.

They were dressed in samurai uniforms from the Heian period, with simple breastplates and shoulder guards, and the "family crest" on their chests represented their identities.

Each family crest has a unique meaning and history. It is not only a symbol of the family, but also a symbol of honor for the warriors.

On the battlefield, the warriors were known for their bravery and fearlessness. They charged into battle with long swords in hand, willing to sacrifice their lives for the honor of their family and the interests of their country.

With the changing times, the samurai, the Koga ninjas and the Iga ninjas all faced new challenges and opportunities.
