Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

They could have endured the darkness if they had never seen the light.

Having witnessed such a wonderful life, convenient equipment and appliances, how could they possibly bear to return to that primitive agricultural society?

"Alright, you should all go and rest for a bit. Change into casual clothes and wander around Konoha Village. Ask questions if you don't understand anything, but just don't cause any trouble, understand?"

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, Mifune returned to his room, where there was a place for him to take a bath.

After so many days of traveling, I'm covered in dirt.

Following the method taught by the Feng Shui Master, throw the dirty clothes into the washing machine.

Then he pressed a few buttons: "Is this correct...?"

When Mifune pressed the final power button, the washing machine started operating, and a large amount of water began to flow into it.

The sudden change startled Mifune, who instinctively reached for his sword!

Unfortunately, he was completely naked and had nothing on him, so he could only awkwardly scratch his head.

"It's probably normal, just ignore it."

He then went to the shower, turned on the switch, and water sprayed out from the showerhead. This time, Mifune, who was already mentally prepared, was not startled.

But out of curiosity, he started playing with it, turning it on and off repeatedly.

"How amazing! Water comes out when you open it, but disappears when you close it. Could there be a ninjutsu scroll embedded inside?"

But after staring at the showerhead for a long time, he still couldn't find a place to put the scroll.

In the end, I had to suppress my curiosity and start taking a shower.

For the first time, he felt that bathing was a pleasure, one of only two common methods in the Land of Iron.

One option is to fill the bathtub with water yourself, and the other is to bathe directly in the lake or river.

This was my first time experiencing something like this, and it really broadened Mifune's horizons.

Curiosity is one thing, but there are strict rules about the duration of a bath; it cannot be too long.

So when the time came, Mifune immediately finished his bath, changed his clothes, and prepared to wait for the midday banquet.

Only one person from the three boats could attend the banquet; the other samurai had to find a way to attend within the village.

I still have money; it's universally accepted throughout the ninja world, which is very convenient.

"Lord Mifune, I'm having second thoughts about going back."

The other samurai nodded in agreement: "We'd like to too..."

Mifune was initially taken aback, but after all the samurai had spoken, he sighed and said, "I will try to persuade my master. If he agrees, we will soon be able to enjoy this kind of life in the Land of Iron, provided that you have money."

"Alright, let's go explore Konoha Village and broaden our horizons."

The samurai nodded and left.

Mifune understood what they were saying; they didn't really not want to return to the Land of Iron.

It's just that I can't bear to give up the convenient life here.

Anyone from the Land of Iron would have the same thought.

Because they are so outdated.

The afternoon passed just like that, with Mifune alone in the house, constantly exploring and learning how to use various electrical appliances.

He felt a great sense of accomplishment every time he learned a new skill, just like the feeling he had when he first wielded a knife.

"Lord Mifune, it's time for dinner. Let's go." A voice called out from outside the door.

"Alright, Lord Qufeng, I'll set off right away."

Unexpectedly, it was already dinnertime. Mifune straightened his clothes and opened the door.

Chapter 417 Dinner Party

"Lord Mifune, it's time for dinner. Let's go." A voice called out from outside the door.

"Alright, Lord Qufeng, I'll set off right away."

Unexpectedly, it was already dinnertime. After tidying his clothes, Mifune opened the door.

Qu Feng stood at the door with a smile on his face.

"Lord Mifune, how was your afternoon? Was it pleasant?"

Mifune nodded upon hearing this: "To be honest, life in Konoha is something I could never have imagined. My companions don't even want to go back to the Land of Iron."

Upon hearing this, Qu Feng laughed and said, "If the top-tier commanders knew, they might think that Konoha Village had kidnapped them."

"Alright, let's go to the banquet first."

They then walked together to the banquet hall, the same place where the Tsuchikage and Kazekage were entertained.

The banquet hall wasn't anything special, just a bit more luxurious, and the architecture was in a style that Mifune was quite familiar with.

It suddenly gave him the feeling of coming home.

The two sat down facing each other, with a pot of boiling water and an oven on the table.

Then the maids brought out the ingredients one by one.

"Mr. Mifune, please make yourself at home. We are old friends, so there's no need to be so formal."

"Very well, Lord Qufeng, please as well."

Mifune was indeed quite hungry, and he ate much faster, but he was also chatting earnestly with Torifu.

"Lord Torifu, I really want to cooperate with Konoha Village, but this is a very important matter, and I can't make the decision on my own. I have to go back to the Land of Iron and ask my master for his opinion."

After listening to the explanation, Mifune expressed his understanding, saying that Mifune's current status was the same as Minato's, both being heirs.

But they don't have any real power; it's just that the title sounds better.

“I think a first-rate leader would be able to agree to the cooperation between Konoha and the Land of Iron, as this would be beneficial to the Land of Iron.”

That's what they say, but if the top-tier teams refuse to cooperate with Konoha, there's nothing we can do about it.

Kano was actually very interested in the mineral resources of the Land of Iron, mainly because the output of the mine in Hell Valley of the Land of Lightning was decreasing.

Production decreases by about 20% every year.

We're already falling behind Konoha's development pace, so we urgently need a stable supply of ore.

As long as the Land of Iron agrees to cooperate, Wind will be able to extract the ore from them.

"I will try to persuade my master. Even if it's just for the sake of the convenient lives of the warriors of the Land of Iron, I will definitely try. The Land of Iron can no longer remain stagnant. It needs to be infused with new blood."

The Land of Iron is now more like a stagnant pool, with some samurai lacking their own goals and will, becoming samurai only for status.

By cooperating with Konoha Village, we can continuously learn new knowledge, although this may embolden those who crave pleasure.

But that doesn't matter, they will eventually be eliminated by the Land of Iron.

Mifune's attitude was very clear: he hoped his teacher would have the same discerning eye.

"By the way, Mr. Mifune, how is the injury on your head?"

Mifune's forehead appears to have been shattered by Hanzo, and he has been wearing bandages ever since he was rescued.

"The doctor said that the bone was injured and it would be difficult to recover, but it has almost healed over this period of time, although it still hurts occasionally."

After thinking for a moment, Toruka suggested, "How about we have you have surgery in Konoha? The outcome should be much better than what you're experiencing now."

"Operation?"

"You can think of it as a more refined treatment."

Mifune didn't quite understand, but was Konoha's medical system really that advanced? The doctor who treated him was already quite famous in the Land of Iron.

But how could even more sophisticated treatments be performed in Konoha?

"Although we really want to, our stay in Konoha is limited to a certain period. We must return to the Land of Iron within the stipulated time, so let's forget about it."

The treatment will definitely take a lot of time, and they can only stay in Konoha Village for three or four days.

So let's forget about treatment.

"Well, I admit I was being presumptuous."

Instead of forcing the issue, he cast a healing spell on Sanchuan's head.

In just a moment, Mifune's headache disappeared.

He looked at Torufu in disbelief: "Could this be the medical ninjutsu that ninjas often talk about? It has such miraculous effects!"

Upon hearing this, Toru laughed and said, "This is my unique ninjutsu. I have a lot of chakra in my body, which is why I can use this ninjutsu. Ordinary medical ninjas cannot learn it."

Mifune understood what Torifu meant; that is, Torifu was a very powerful ninja who also knew medical ninjutsu.

Perhaps this comprehensive approach is a bit too much?

"How was it, Lord Mifune? Did you enjoy the dinner tonight?"

"Of course, the taste was beyond my expectations. Everything in Konoha Village surprised me."

The plates on the table were mostly empty, and the maids came forward to clear them away, marking the end of the dinner.

"Coming to Konoha was the best decision I ever made. What I never expected was that Lord Torifu would already be the Hokage of Konoha."

"And I am still just a fledgling samurai."

Qu Feng got up and went into the courtyard. The moonlight outside was nice and very bright. "Our destinies have taken different paths. If we hadn't met in Gantian Village, we probably wouldn't be getting along so well today."

"So don't worry about these things. Once you've grasped the true Bushido, we can have a friendly spar."

"Okay, it's settled then!"

The two shared a drink and then prepared to leave.

Mifune had a good tolerance for alcohol; he drank many glasses without getting drunk at all.

However, the roads in Konoha Village are intricate and complicated, and he might not be able to find his way.

Qu Feng could only take him back to his apartment, and then went home alone.
