Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

The reason why the samurai lineage declined is because ninjas are easy to learn; anyone with talent can become a ninja, and their strength is generally greater than that of a samurai.

This led to a large number of samurai turning into ninjas, and the samurai lineage gradually dwindled.

But given the current situation, anyone would think that becoming a ninja is the best choice. Who would choose to suffer for more than ten years and then become a mediocre samurai?

"The samurai lifestyle needs to change, and the training methods need to change even more. We can no longer use the old methods to train samurai. Instead, we should learn the systematic training methods of ninjas."

Mifune's words were startling, making Ichiryu even more conflicted. After his apprentice broadened his horizons outside, everything he said upon his return was different from before.

Is the outside world really that influential to him? Should he go and see the world for himself?

"Systematic training? Tell me about it."

Yiliu wasn't a rigid old man; he was willing to listen to his apprentices' opinions.

“The training of a samurai cannot rely entirely on self-enlightenment. To be honest, only a few people can truly understand the way of the samurai. Most people are just pretending and wasting their time.”

"Therefore, it would be better to develop a systematic training program for samurai, so that they can gradually understand the true meaning of samurai while learning various samurai techniques, instead of just suffering in order to seek the so-called Bushido."

This statement is completely contrary to the traditional training methods of samurai, which require samurai to first comprehend their own Dao before they can begin practicing techniques.

Mifune proposed to directly practice techniques and gradually comprehend his own Dao in the process.

This is something that no one has ever dared to mention.

This would be met with collective opposition from the older generation of samurai.

Even the other samurai inside the room were somewhat surprised after hearing Mifune's words.

But when they thought about it carefully, they realized that changing the method could indeed give many people who were lost and directionless a goal to strive for.

"Mifune, it seems the outside world has changed you a lot, and your thinking has broadened considerably. Is Konoha Village really that magical?"

When Mifune heard his teacher's question, he nodded: "Konoha Village is the largest village in the ninja world today, and it is also the origin of all electrical appliances in the outside world. The Hokage calls it technology."

"Konoha Village is the birthplace of technology, and the Hokage of Konoha Village is the strongest ninja in the world today, revered as the God of Shinobi. I have witnessed his ninjutsu up close, and I would like to say something outrageous: even you, Master, could not withstand a single blow from the Hokage."

Upon hearing this, Yi Liu's heart seemed to skip a beat. After so many years of isolation, he thought his strength was already among the top in the ninja world.

Although he couldn't compare to Hashirama Senju back then, he was still on par with his younger brother.

But he forgot that it was no longer Hashirama and Tobirama's era.

"The world is full of powerful figures, but our Iron Kingdom has stagnated..."

Yiliu sighed, as if he had made a decision.

"Mifune, prepare a generous gift. Come with me to Konoha Village in half a month. I want to see for myself what this era has become."

Ichiryu is now around sixty years old, more than twenty years younger than Hashirama and the others.

But they can still be considered a generation, albeit in a lesser sense.

To be honest, Ichiryu had never actually met Hashirama Senju; he had only ever heard of him.

He was a ninja who caused the decline of the samurai class, but single-handedly ushered in a golden age for ninjas.

These are all just rumors.

Yiliu has lived in the Land of Iron since birth and has never left the country.

He always strictly adhered to the rules of samurai code, never daring to slack off in the slightest.

Until the last invasion by Hanzo, only one person in this vast country stood up.

Only then did Yili realize that the Land of Iron had encountered a major problem.

"Yes, Master! I will go and prepare immediately! I will make sure that Konoha Village feels the sincerity of our Land of Iron."

Mifune was about to turn around and leave immediately after hearing this, but Ichiryu stopped him: "You child, what's the rush? I haven't finished asking yet."

"What was the deal with the Naruto's cooperation again? They wanted to exchange their electrical appliances for our country's minerals?"

Mifune nodded: "That's right, it's an exchange of equal value, based on the normal prices that are currently circulating in the world. We can find out by asking around in other countries."

"Moreover, Konoha Village also took charge of everything, including power plants and various power lines."

Yiliu simply nodded; he didn't quite understand anything too complicated, since the Land of Iron still used oil lamps for lighting.

Electrical appliances are still too far removed from his life.

“Master, if we stay in the same apartment as last time when we go to Konoha Village, then you can enjoy the convenience brought by technology.”

Yi Liu felt very gratified to see his apprentice's smiling face.

He could sense that Mifune was wholeheartedly working for the Land of Iron, and all the methods he devised and the efforts he made to promote cooperation between the Land of Iron and Konoha were aimed at enabling the Land of Iron to rebuild itself.

Yi Liu felt that he had made the right choice by taking him as his disciple.

Chapter 472 Samurai

“Master, if we stay in the same apartment as last time when we go to Konoha Village, then you can enjoy the convenience brought by technology.”

Yi Liu felt very gratified to see his apprentice's smiling face.

He could sense that Mifune was wholeheartedly working for the Land of Iron, and all the methods he devised and the efforts he made to promote cooperation between the Land of Iron and Konoha were aimed at enabling the Land of Iron to rebuild itself.

Yi Liu felt that he had made the right choice by taking him as his disciple.

"Alright, I'd like to experience this so-called technology for myself. What is it that has captivated someone as determined as you?"

"I'm half-joking," Yili said.

In fact, he really didn't understand. What's the point of a washing machine and a refrigerator? Isn't it just about hiring a maid and having your own cellar?

They all have similar functions.

One is used for washing clothes, and the other is used to store food so it doesn't spoil easily.

As for that air conditioner, it can blow out cool air.

It's not much different from a servant waving a fan, is it?

Seeing the longing look on Mifune's face, Ichiryu felt that things might not be as simple as he thought.

"Um... Lord Ichiryu, could you please take us with you this time? We'd like to visit Konoha Village as well."

The other three samurai nodded in agreement: "Hehe... Yes, sir, we also want to experience the technology."

Yiliu looked at them with a hint of disappointment: "You all say that ninjas are the greatest enemy of samurai, but now you can't wait to visit the ninja village!"

One of the samurai scratched his head: "We also need to conduct research, you know. We can't just forge swords behind closed doors. We need to learn from others' experiences and surpass them. That's what I mean."

Yi Liu rolled his eyes at them, too lazy to expose their little schemes.

What kind of investigation was it? It was nothing more than taking a liking to the new things that Mifune mentioned and wanting to experience them in advance.

However, even the most elite can understand that since they have already decided to learn from the ninja society, to learn their model and technology, they cannot view them with prejudice.

He must become humble, just like he was when he first learned to be a warrior.

"Alright, you guys can come along, but you also need to help Mifune think of what gift to give the Hokage!"

"I obey my orders!"

The four samurai and the three ships retreated together, leaving only the general and his men in the house.

After sitting quietly for a while, Yi Liu also came out of the General's Mansion and went outside.

Looking at the innocent children running around in the streets and alleys of the city.

Yiliu seemed to recall his youth.

Back then, the Land of Iron was not as devastated as it is now.

At that time, everyone was determined to surpass the ninjas through their own Bushido and bring Bushido back to the top of the world.

He was revered by thousands.

However, as time went by, more and more people were assimilated by the ninjas and chose to join them.

He abandoned his Bushido.

It's not the fault of these people for being outstanding; after all, everyone has their own pursuits. They can't interfere with other people's choices, so they can only be more demanding of themselves.

Finally, at the age of thirty, he became the new general of the Land of Iron.

But the Land of Iron was completely different from what he had seen when he was a child.

Nearly 80% of the men in the country pursued the so-called Bushido, some even going mad, abandoning their wives and children to gather together and discuss the so-called Bushido.

But this is just a way for them to escape reality.

The reason for escaping reality is ultimately because this country has no hope.

Because the country had no contact with the outside world and no source of income, taxes were increased in order to ensure the country's operation.

The samurai hardly engaged in any farming, leaving all the burdens and pressures to the ordinary people.

This ultimately led to everything we have today.

"Sigh, I hope that trade with Konoha will revitalize the Land of Iron."

Mifune is a very intelligent and not rigid person. Although he has his own Bushido, he is not obsessed with it.

They also harbored a spirit of dedicating everything to the Iron Kingdom.

This is undoubtedly the best candidate to become a future general.

The first-rate leader is now old and may make many mistakes in his judgments, so he tries to listen to the opinions of the new generation.

"I hope that after these tremendous changes, the Land of Iron will truly prosper."

Buried deep within this ancient land are generations of samurai, the last in the world to uphold the now-declining Bushido.

They hoped that one day, warriors would be remembered and recognized again.

That way, all the hard work in this life won't have been in vain.

……

As night falls, the people of Konoha Village gather together to chat after dinner, sitting on stools under the streetlights or in any other well-lit place.

A group of women or a group of men were chatting enthusiastically.
