Simultaneous Travel: Becoming a Legend in the Heavens.

Chapter 414 This is the bond of Konoha
"You're asking for information about Lord Luke? You've got the right person to ask!"

"Who wouldn't know him? He came to the Land of Iron two years ago and became a disciple of the Munechika family. He passed down the technique of forging ninja tools and carried it forward..."

"What is the detailed information of the Munechika family? I don't know. They were unknown before. There was only a sixty-year-old sick old master, so ordinary that no one cared about him."

"I didn't expect that the old master seemed to be a hermit who was indifferent to fame and fortune... After his death, Lord Lu Ke showed all kinds of magical skills, which were said to be taught by the old master!"

"Some factories were opened, and the assembly line manufacturing of ninja tools directly caused other ninja tool shops to close down. However, the original workers did not lose their jobs. They were re-employed in the factories to supervise production and design drawings..."

"The economy of the Iron Country has grown several times because of Lord Luke, and an industrial chain has been formed. The tax revenue has even alarmed the daimyo. Lord Mifune personally invited people to the daimyo's mansion. That lord is often generous and charitable, supporting and investing in various businesses and making donations for free."

"Yes, yes, scientific ninja tools are very popular recently. It is said that they can allow ordinary people to perform ninjutsu. The power is very strong. It's just that we ordinary people have rarely seen it. After all, it is a new technology. It may take some time for it to be popularized..."

"Several major countries have sent envoys to recruit people. The latest is from the Hidden Mist Village in the Land of Water, but Lord Luke has never left..."

Just arrived in the Iron Kingdom, Kakashi, who was used to inquiring about information, casually mentioned the topic "I seem to hear Senkawa Riku's name often". Immediately, it was like a heavy stone thrown into the lake, causing a thousand ripples.

There was an endless stream of pedestrians on the street, no matter they were adults or children, women or young men, samurai or courtesans, everyone was extremely enthusiastic in giving him scientific knowledge, and all kinds of information flooded Kakashi like a tide.

Kakashi had never imagined that his friend's appeal was so terrifying. The first time he was surrounded by a flood of civilians, he had to use the body-flash technique to escape from the crowded crowd.

"That's too much... Are you members of some Luke fan club?"

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, took a deep breath, and after calming down, he slowly frowned again.

Gathering intelligence is just a habit for a ninja. Of course, he trusts his good brother 100%, but through these scattered information, he always feels that something is not right.

Lu Ke came to the Iron Kingdom and became a disciple of an unknown master who was about to die. After the master's death, he developed various advanced forging techniques and claimed that the master was a hermit who was indifferent to fame and fortune...

It sounds suspicious no matter how you listen!

Could it be...

Kakashi frowned, a fantasy brewing in his mind.

Could it be that Lu Ke was grateful for the skills taught by the old master and was determined to help the old master to carry forward their family's fortune, so he deliberately attributed his achievements to others?
He thinks it is very likely!

The leader of the hidden Lu Ke fan club sighed. Good brothers are good in every way except that they are too sincere and always consider others. People like this will suffer in the outside world.

The samurai leader Mifune invited people into the daimyo's mansion, maybe to put him under house arrest. Other ninja villages actually sent people to poach people?
Kakashi's face tightened, he raised his hand and pulled up his mask, looking at the tall building in the center with a cold gaze.

"You said it was in Daming Prefecture?"

……

As the future fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi's water jutsu is more powerful than expected. Although she is not an expert in physical skills, she is not far behind. Lu Kelian is surprised in all aspects.

Fortunately, Lu Ke is also a cheating player. He is an existence that has integrated the best of many worlds. He also swept through Konoha Village alone and took all the bloodline limits, secret techniques, and ninjutsu of the elite ninjas in the village into his possession.

He first used a penetration technique to block Mei Terumi's movement, then used both palms to punch softly. The strength in his hands was both hard and soft, and his leg skills were not far behind. His movements were so fast that they left afterimages, breaking the situation of using softness to overcome hardness and achieving a full-scale invasion.

After four rounds of physical skills competition, Luke ended the battle with his absolute strength, almost breaking Mei Terumi in half.

Exhausted, Mei Terumi forced herself to stay awake, looked at the man who was pulling up his pants with an expression that said "practice more if you're a beginner", and spoke with difficulty.

"Come back to the Hidden Mist Village with me, and you can be the partner of the Fifth Mizukage."

Lu Ke sat at the head of the bed, feeling refreshed. He glanced at the sweaty and charming female body, lit a cigarette leisurely, felt the afterglow, and answered lightly.

"I'm sorry, Lady Terumi Mei, my lover is the entire ninja world."

Such shameless words...

Mei Terumi closed her eyes unwillingly. A powerful ninja of her level, the future of the Hidden Mist Village, actually lost to a mere ninja craftsman.

It was such a shame that she couldn't even seduce the other person to go with her!

Next time, next time I must...

Seeing that Mei Terumi's breathing had become steady, Luke thought for a moment, then reached out and left a seal on the top of her well-developed breasts as a marking point so that he could go over and continue the physical duel at any time.

Then he stood up, stretched, pushed the door open and walked out of the room after a long absence.

Outside the room was a long corridor that extended in all directions. The entire room was astonishingly large, and all the furnishings were solemn and elegant. The floor was covered with soft tatami and exquisite carpets, and maids and guards dressed simply and solemnly were walking back and forth.

After all, this is Daimyofu. Even though the Iron Kingdom is slightly inferior to the Five Great Kingdoms, it is still a recognized and famous country.

"Good afternoon, Lord Luke."

“Nice to meet you!”

"Are you going to Lord Mifune? He's waiting for you on the rooftop..."

On the way, everyone who saw Lu Ke took the initiative to greet him, being respectful and friendly, and Lu Ke also smiled and nodded in response.

He walked up the stairs step by step, reached the top floor of Daimyo Mansion, and came to the most central and magnificent place in the Iron Kingdom in the flickering light and shadow.

"I used to wonder if the era of the samurai was over."

A powerful and steady voice sounded, carrying with it an inexplicable regret, along with a strong aroma of wine and the crisp sound of refined armor colliding.

With a long beard on his mouth and chin, his head wrapped in bandages, and wearing green layered armor, Mifune looks out over the Iron Kingdom, with a deep black katana on his waist.

"Compared to 'ninja', samurai are too plain."

"Although many rare ninjutsu are flashy, the practical ones are hard to replace. What samurai can do can also be done by ninja, but the reverse is not true..."

"Fortunately, you gave me new hope, Luke."

"Combining technology with ninjutsu makes ninjutsu a tool that anyone can use. Although it still has limitations, it is a new idea."

"Luke, you are the future of the warriors!"

The old man, who seemed to be abandoned by the times, glanced sideways at Lu Ke who was walking towards him, his eyes sparkling, as if he was looking at a seed of hope.

"That's too much, Lord Mifune. That wasn't really an important invention."

Luke lazily felt the warmth of the sun bathing his body, his tone calm.

The scientific ninja tools he developed are somewhat different from those in Boruto, which are the "chakra capacitor type", "bioengineering type", "amplification type" and "advanced technology type" developed after technological exchanges and collisions among countries.

The principle is to use the "Shen Ji Bai Lian" method to absorb the natural energy in the air, use it as an energy source, and transform the effects of various ninjutsu into a set of compatible programs engraved on the ninja tools, thus achieving the means of using various ninjutsu without any preconditions.

If I have to say, it is similar to the magic weapons with casting times in DND, but it can be mass-produced, has no requirements for raw materials, and is cheap.

Compared to the ninja world's stagnant forging technology for many years, it was indeed a dimensionality reduction attack. After all, in his opinion, there were only a few ninja tools of decent quality in the entire ninja world. Among the seven swords in the hands of the Seven Mist Swordsmen, only the Samehada was interesting, and the rest were the few sacred artifacts and the Six Paths Ninja Tools.

“And nothing lasts forever.”

"Now you think the era of the samurai is coming to an end, and in a few years someone will say the era of the ninja is coming to an end, and in a few years more the era of the Otsutsuki will also end, and then there will be no end."

"So-called version update... ahem, I mean the times change, it's always like this."

Lu Ke pointed out the inevitability of the development of the times in a casual manner.

"I don't know what the Otsutsuki are, but I roughly understand what you're saying... You're really discouraging, Luke."

Mifune's usually serious face showed helplessness, his nose twitched slightly, and the samurai's keen sense of smell detected an extra fragrance from the other party.

It seems to be from the person who visited the Hidden Mist Village a few days ago...

Mifune showed a subtle expression and coughed slightly uncomfortably.

My goodness, he said that the work that ninjas can do cannot be replaced by samurai!

Which warrior would sacrifice his looks to sleep with her?
Although it is true that scientific ninja tools have great prospects, are people so eager to get involved these days?
"Mr. Lu Ke, you should pay more attention to your health..."

Facing the samurai's hope, Mifune gave a gentle exhortation and then asked tentatively: "Do you want to accept the recruitment of the Hidden Mist Village and go to the Land of Water?"

"of course not."

"So you are willing to stay in the Iron Kingdom?"

Mifune's eyes lit up with some anticipation.

"Is it possible that I will return to Konoha Village?"

Lu Ke looked speechlessly at the former samurai who had helped him a lot in the past two years. Did this man forget that he was from Konoha?

"Konoha Village? Konoha Village will also send someone to sleep with you?"

Mifune blurted out subconsciously.

Luke: "..."

Lu Ke: "Mr. Mifune, have you been secretly reading some strange books?"

"Of course not! Don't slander me with empty words without any evidence. I am the leader of the warriors of the Iron Country... How could I do such a thing!"

Mifune's face turned red and he denied it vehemently.

He had only heard of the name of the teacher "Carry a Knife and an Umbrella on Rainy Nights" by chance, and had heard people mention "A Samurai Should Not Be in the Pond", "The Samurai's Training", and "The Samurai's Desires", but he never read these vulgar books and had no interest in them at all!
I just don’t know if I can see the second part of “Young Jiraiya” in my lifetime…

Lu Ke looked at the old man suspiciously for a few times, and when he was about to speak, he paused, his expression softened a little, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a smile.

The next second, Mifune suddenly drew out the samurai sword in his hand, raised the sword and looked somewhere, his voice was cold.

"Who are you, daring to trespass into Daming Mansion?"

A figure emerged from the shadows. The white-haired man with a mask adjusted the Konoha forehead protector on his head, revealing his rapidly rotating three-magatama Sharingan. He stood in front of Lu Ke and introduced himself in a very intimidating manner.

"Captain of Konoha's ANBU, Hatake Kakashi."

"Mifune-sama, I am ordered by the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade-sama, to take someone back to the village. You won't stop me, right?"

Seeing the opponent's strong performance, Mifune responded with a cold face.

"Lu Ke is our most distinguished friend of the Iron Nation. His will is the key to his stay or departure. Unless he leaves voluntarily, no one can take him away by force!"

Luke walked over to Kakashi and patted his shoulder, smiling at Mifune.

"It's alright, Mifune-sama. I told you I was planning on returning to the village."

Mifune was silent for a moment, looked at Kakashi with a strange look, then looked at Luke, coughed lightly, sheathed the sword, and spoke in a deep voice.

"Luke, don't you really want to consider staying? With your help, the Iron Nation will sooner or later become the sixth major nation outside of the five major nations, and you will become one of the most supreme people in the entire ninja world."

"Not interested. I'm not a daimyo."

Mifune immediately made the decision and replied sincerely: "As long as you want me to lead the rebellion for you, I will support you as a great man! Believe me, with your prestige among the people, no one will object."

Lu Ke is the hope of the warriors!
Kakashi looked odd after hearing this and couldn't help but glance at Luke. His good brother was not much different from what he remembered, except that he had become more handsome, his figure was more perfect, his temperament was gentler and more convincing.

The daimyos of the big countries did not trust ninjas, and their personal protectors were basically samurai because they recognized the loyalty of Bushido. How did Lu Ke make the loyal samurai follow him even if it meant betrayal?

How come she looks just like the succubus in the pornographic books he reads...

"No need. I have no interest in ruling a country."

Luke smiled and shook his head, declining again.

He is now more interested in the starry sky and aliens. After returning to the village and eliminating the hidden dangers, he will start studying the subject of the new species of Otsutsuki.

Currently, the only one who can be of some help to him and is worth studying is Otsutsuki.

"Is this the bond between you and Konoha?"

After confirming that he could not persuade anyone, Mifune sighed and said, "I understand. You will always be welcome in the Iron Country."

After he finished speaking, he turned and left sadly.

Kakashi then relaxed a little, looking at his friend whom he hadn't seen for two years, he was overwhelmed with thoughts.

He recalled the comfort he received when he was young and experienced the fickleness of human nature, the companionship he received when he was having a lonely meal, and the scene when he and Might Guy said goodbye to each other, and he spoke slowly.

"Long time no see, Luke."

Luke wanted to make a joke, calling out things like "50-50", "Konoha technician", "blue bar unit", "Kamiu tool man", etc., but seeing Kakashi's sincere eyes, he was speechless for a moment and finished the touching farewell with his good brother in a proper manner.

"Long time no see, Gojo Satoru."

Kakashi: "..."

Kakashi: "Gojo Satoru?"

Luke: "..."

Damn, I accidentally slipped my tongue!
