Just when the confrontation between Konoha and Iwa Ninja was in full swing.

On the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Iron, the first real battle of the Fourth Ninja War took place first.

Thanks to the fact that the Four Shadows Conference was held in the Kingdom of Iron.

Compared to the other four nations, the warriors of the Iron Kingdom, who are quicker to prepare, have now gathered.

After receiving the advance attack order as the commander-in-chief of the Five Nations Allied Forces, as a true samurai, General Mifune of the Iron Country did not hesitate, drew his katana and announced to the samurai:

"Target the Country of Fire! All warriors, set off!"

No one objected.

At this point, as the remnants of the previous era, the samurai who had not performed in the ninja world for a long time finally stepped onto the world stage again.

A total of 15,000 warriors wearing silver laminated armor, helmets, gas masks, and many long swords formed a neat military formation and set off towards the Kingdom of Fire with firm steps.<

/p>

This is the foundation of the Samurai Holy Metro Country.

Looking at this scene, Mifune, as the leader, was full of pride, but also felt a trace of regret in his heart.

Seriously speaking, there were more than 20,000 warriors at the peak of the Iron Kingdom.

It's just that the hateful Konoha, waving a lot of money, lured many Iron Country samurai to serve in the Fire Country.

Although the Kingdom of Iron is the holy land of samurai.

But for the majority of ordinary warriors, the appeal of food, clothing, housing and transportation is undoubtedly more important than spiritual totems.

In just a few years, more than 5,000 warriors from the Kingdom of Iron went to play with the Kingdom of Fire.

These are not the down-and-out beings who can be called samurai just by holding a sword in the countryside, but new-age samurai who cultivate chakra.

Such a huge amount of loss is undoubtedly a serious undermining for the Iron Kingdom.

During this period, although the Iron Kingdom thought of various ways to limit the outflow of talents, its financial resources were far inferior to those of the Fire Kingdom and could only retreat steadily.

I can’t close myself off like the Rain Country.

In the end, in order to avoid slow death, the Iron Country gave up its status as a neutral country and accepted the invitation of Onoki and other four shadows.

"In the final analysis, this is all the result of the aggressiveness of Konoha and the Fire Country. Since we have sown bad consequences, let's start repaying it today."

"In addition, since the status of a neutral country has been abandoned, let's use this battle to establish the status of the Iron Kingdom under the new situation. Side by side with earth, wind, water, and thunder, samurai will no longer hide in the corners of the ninja world, and can truly compete with the country.

Ninjas are equal. Forefathers who established the Kingdom of Iron to accommodate the remaining samurai of the old era, you dare not tell the outside world about your highest ideals. Today it is up to our generation to realize it!"

The Kingdom of Iron is very small. After a quick march, we soon saw Mifune at the border of the Kingdom of Fire, stroking the katana on his waist, full of ambition.

At this time, Konoha ninjas have appeared on the border of the Country of Fire, as well as the samurai figures who went to the Country of Fire and now have their swords pointed at them.

Mifune saw it but didn't take it to heart at all.

As far as he knew, the number of ninjas in Konoha on the border of the Iron Country had always been only two thousand, and there would be no spare capacity to send more ninjas.

Even if the number of legions composed of all the warriors who surrendered to the enemy were specially arranged in the surrounding area, the total number would not exceed 10,000. How could he withstand his 15,000-strong army?

Although fighting alone, most samurai are no match for ninjas.

But arranging troops and fighting armies, samurai with a history far longer than ninjas are good at it.

"Set up the formation!"

At this moment, Mifune drew his katana and issued an order.

In an instant, the 15,000-strong warrior legion stopped and, under the command of warriors at all levels, quickly changed their attack formation.

"Exerting orders and prohibitions, and being very fast, he is worthy of being an elite soldier of the Iron Kingdom."

On the Konoha side, Commander Baiyun Yeshan, who led two thousand Konoha ninjas and a small army of Fire Country warriors, looked ahead with a telescope and said calmly.

As a confidant of the Fourth Hokage, he has now resigned from the position of captain of the Shadow Guard and has been promoted to the current commander of the Iron Country.

And his good friend Tekumi also followed him. Hearing this, he chuckled and said, "He is indeed an elite teacher. It's a pity that times have changed."

"Indeed, times have changed." Thinking of the backup plan specially prepared by Konoha for the warriors of the Iron Kingdom, Baiyun Yeshan smiled and said, "Next, we'll see how powerful your iron bastards are."

"What kind of iron lump? Is that called a steel chariot?" Tekumi said with eyes full of love and eagerness to try.

Having been fond of ninja tools since childhood, he became very interested in this heavy, huge, violent and beautiful tank after learning that Konoha had developed a steel tank a few years ago. After that, he provided various improvement plans and even

Chariot tactics.

This time he went to the front line. As the commander of the Iron Chariot unit, he wanted to lead it to the stage of the ninja world for the first time and let the world know his name.

"The stage has been set, but don't let us down!" Baiyun Yeshan clapped his hands and said, Jiujian thick shoulders.

For the Iron Kingdom samurai, Konoha specially gathered a large number of domestically built steel chariots here.

Just because the steel chariot is extremely flexible, it is difficult to deal with ninjas who have all kinds of strange ninjutsu.

But when facing samurai who have chakra training but are only good at going straight, the heavily armored steel chariots are undoubtedly their real nemesis.

"Don't worry! No one knows the capabilities of Iron Chariot better than me." Tekumi assured.

Later, when he saw that the army of Iron Kingdom warriors had launched an attack and were pushing forward like a thick wall, Tekumi bid farewell to Baiyun Yeshan and went to the hidden steel chariot behind.

Baiyun Yeshan looked at the Konoha ninjas and samurai around him, smiled slightly and said: "Next, let us work with the Iron Chariot Troops to give a big gift to the Kingdom of Iron."

A lonely tree cannot support itself.

If the steel chariot as a secret weapon wants to exert its full combat power, it cannot do without the help of people like them who walk on two legs.

On the other side, Mifune, who was following the samurai army, also noticed something strange on Konoha's side after closing the distance.

"The number of warriors is much less than expected."

Mifune, who knew how much talent his country had lost, couldn't help but frown slightly when he saw that there were only two to three thousand samurai fighting alongside the Konoha ninjas on the other side, which was inconsistent with the intelligence.

He didn't know that Konoha recruited Iron Country samurai not because they wanted to form their own samurai army, but more because they wanted to maximize the distribution of these chakra-possessed samurai to only consume chakra, and their own strength was not important.

flying team and steel troops to free up more Konoha ninjas.

Although he didn't understand it, Mifune, who was about to take action now, didn't think much about it.

As long as the Konoha troops in front of them are defeated, even if the remaining samurai who did not appear have any conspiracy, it is not enough to prove it.

"Samurai of the Kingdom of Iron, for the Kingdom of Iron! For the spirit of bushido! For samurai to return to the mainstream of the ninja world! Follow me and defeat the enemies in front of you!"

Mifune, who pointed his blade forward, announced loudly to the Iron Country samurai, and immediately took the lead to kill the Konoha army.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The head coach takes the lead and naturally inspires the fighting spirit of all soldiers.

Amidst the thundering roar, fifteen thousand samurai instantly drew their samurai swords, and amidst the extremely loud friction of armor and the sound of footsteps, they rushed towards Konoha like an overwhelming force.

"It's really spectacular!"

Seeing the black mass of people approaching like a flood in his field of vision, Baiyun Yeshan sighed and then focused on Mifune at the forefront.

"This old guy is really not afraid of death!"

Baiyun Yeshan snorted coldly, his face returned to calmness and he stretched out his hand and said: "Start the ninjutsu attack."

Order issued.

In an instant, thousands of ninjas in the Konoha camp quickly formed seals with their hands.

Soon, thousands of ninjutsu rays belonging to the Five Releases were shot out from the Konoha camp, hitting the Iron Kingdom samurai army getting closer and closer like a meteor shower.

Seeing this, Mifune, as well as powerful warriors from the Iron Kingdom such as Okusuke, Urakkaku and other warriors who were no weaker than the Jonin of the Great Country, rushed forward, waving chakra-filled, extremely sharp samurai swords.

, and cut off the incoming ninjutsu one by one.

The effect is really good.

It’s just that there are too few powerful samurai like Mifune and Okosuke.

Although some ninjutsu were blocked, many ninjutsu still blossomed in the Iron Kingdom army, causing a lot of bloodshed.

Even so, all the Iron Country warriors who could stand still stepped over the bodies of their dead comrades without any fear on their faces, and rushed towards the Konoha army with even more murderous intent.

Seeing that the distance between the two parties is getting closer.

According to the plan, Baiyun Yeshan, who had determined the position of the master samurai in the Iron Kingdom army through previous ninjutsu attacks, passed the news to the chariot troops at the rear, and then let the Konoha army control it under the unexpected eyes of everyone in the Iron Kingdom.

Spread out.

"Is the commander of Konoha looking for death?"

Mifune and the other samurai really couldn't understand why the Konoha commander made such an idiotic decision.

You must know that in a battle between large armies, the most taboo thing is to change the formation at the last minute, especially the suicidal act of leaving your back to the enemy like this.

If this is the case, the Iron Kingdom samurai will not need to go through a bloody battle at all, and can simply defeat the Konoha army with just one charge.

Although he didn't understand it, as an enemy, Mifune would naturally not miss this excellent opportunity and shouted excitedly:

"Accelerate! Defeat Konoha in one fell swoop!"

After saying that, Mifune once again accelerated and took the lead in the sprint.

However, after running a few steps, his expression suddenly changed.

Just because of this moment, a huge barrier light suddenly lit up in the large open space where the Konoha army was scattered in front.

"What is that?"

When he saw one after another in the barrier, which he had never seen before, and the extremely ferocious black steel monsters, Mifune suddenly had a very bad premonition.

The next moment, his premonition came true.

As the barrier dispersed, a deafening roar sounded, and a large number of steel chariots officially moved their huge bodies.
Chapter completed!
