I unleashed a Hundred Demons Parade in the Ninja World

Between each pair of adjacent forces, there may have been conflicts of a certain scale in the past, and some of them could even be described as sworn enemies.

A coalition of independent factions might be better, but if they are forcibly united, the whole situation will become quite interesting.

Even if this order came from the [Shadow]!

Furthermore, with the samurai code increasingly declining, such a message would cause the first to collapse and the first to suffer headaches – that was the Supreme Commander of the Land of Iron!

After all, no one knows the casualties at the root of Konoha.

Such an outcome makes it hard not to speculate whether this was a trap set by several ninja nations against the Land of Iron, with the real purpose of swallowing up the vast power of the Iron Clan entrenched in the north!

They then divided up their samurai to expand their own ninja force.

In fact, after receiving this terrifying message, the traditional and old-fashioned Admiral Mifune had already considered this.

Although he forcibly suppressed his anger, he knew that this was most likely just speculation born from his own burning rage, a swift and decisive move by the Land of Hot Springs to sow discord between them and the other major powers.

but,

This really left him no choice but to think about it.

Because such a message has already spread throughout the entire Land of Iron, and the entire northern snowfield has been filled with the anger and lamentation of the samurai.

The burning rage to avenge his comrades

And the lament that samurai are truly inferior to ninjas.

Thousands of elite warriors

That's one-tenth of the power of the Land of Iron!!

"What should we do, General?"

He knelt in the corner of the old man's room and cried out in a low voice, while outside Mifune's room, where he was secretly training, the indignant roars of the samurai had already resounded.

Even the guards stationed here couldn't help but empathize.

They roared and howled, begging the commander-in-chief to order them to go to the Land of Hot Springs to demand an explanation, an explanation that would last until death.

Otherwise, the samurai lineage will be finished!

"wait,"

"Wait for Chongjie to come back."

"Anyone who dares to disobey orders at a critical juncture in the survival of the Iron Kingdom shall be executed."

Admiral Mifune gritted his teeth and issued the order with a heavy heart.

He didn't believe it.

He truly couldn't believe that his thousands of elite troops could be wiped out overnight!

This could very well be a false message released by the enemy in an attempt to shake the foundations of the Land of Iron and expose the hidden dangers that have accumulated over decades.

Seeing is believing.

"But, General."

The person on one side wanted to say something more.

But he was immediately stopped by the old man's sharp gaze.

"Yes, I understand."

This was the only response he could give, because the former held absolute prestige in the country.

Just like Lord Onoki of the Land of Earth.

This prestige was not solely due to the opponent's unparalleled swordsmanship.

Furthermore, he was the only samurai who, when facing the invincible Hanzo the Salamander, did not choose to abandon his armor and flee, but instead protected his comrades as they left!

They are the true inheritors of the samurai spirit!!

but,

Just as the atmosphere in the room was beginning to ease thanks to Rikka's acceptance of the order, a cry of surprise erupted clearly from the chaotic samurai group.

"Okisuke-sama,"

"Lord Okisuke is back!"

Upon hearing this, Admiral Mifune trembled violently, and a complex emotion, difficult to describe, appeared in his eyes.

Before he could speak, the guard standing beside him immediately said:

"I will immediately summon Chongjie and all the samurai who are with him, and have the commanders issue a confinement order."

However, in reality, it doesn't seem to be that complicated.

Because the burly general with a cross-shaped scar on his right forehead had already arrived at the commander-in-chief's residence at high speed through the path opened up by the warriors.

However, the sorrowful expression on his face, and the dazed and numb state of his followers, already revealed some problems.

Immediately, the morale around them plummeted, like a wilted eggplant.

A somber atmosphere began to gradually permeate the Land of Iron.

The end of the samurai

Have we really arrived?

The fact that they were all wiped out is true.

When this feedback reached Mifune's ears from Okisuke's mouth, the highly respected commander-in-chief could not hide the sorrow on his face.

His usual indulgence and disregard for those close to ninja forces ultimately led to an irreversible tragedy.

Those were his thousands of comrades-in-arms!

Now, all because of Zuo Xiong's selfish desires, he has been ruined in a foreign land!

The teeth were cracking, the finger bones were cracking, the bones in the body were cracking.

Every bone in Admiral Mifune's body was brimming with resentment.

Sa Xiong Hiroyuki,

It's the name of the commander who led his legion and left the defended war zone without authorization.

At the same time, a warrior dressed in standard armor rushed in from outside the mansion and knelt down the moment he stepped inside.

"General, this is a letter that was found at Lord Saguma's residence."

"Suspected,"

"Suspected to be from Konoha, the Land of Fire."

The speaker paused for a moment, because, in a certain sense, and given the current situation,

This means treason!

"Konoha?"

Rikka's voice was slightly louder, and he then took the letter from the samurai and presented it to the commander-in-chief.

【Your Excellency Sakuma,】

As one of the few generals in the Land of Iron with grand ambitions, you must have a very thorough understanding of the situation and development of the entire ninja world.

Although I'd like to put it more subtly, the samurai path is unstoppably heading down a rapidly declining road!

It seems that the Land of Iron can still remain isolated in the north, but what about in ten or a hundred years?

The loss of samurai and the shift in martial arts styles are changes that even your commander-in-chief has been unable to prevent.

Forgive my bluntness, but the future landscape will inevitably be dominated by ninjas.

I also know that you have the desire to initiate change, and have repeatedly advised against breaking the shackles of traditional samurai and integrating ninja training principles into the daily training of samurai.

However, your corrupt and stubborn Bushido spirit cannot be shaken by your own strength alone.

The high-ranking general, seated in his position, remains trapped in his past beliefs, completely ignoring the fact that the world is constantly evolving.

If you don't advance, you will surely retreat.

[That's why even a small ninja force like the Land of Hot Springs can so easily slaughter your country's samurai!]

【If you, Lord Zuo Xiong, truly wish to change all of this, then there is only one way:】

[You will personally take the position of Commander-in-Chief!!]

When you see this,

Admiral Mifune's hands, which were holding the secret letter, were trembling.

He was aware of the undercurrents of unrest beneath the surface of the Land of Iron over the years, but he never imagined it would escalate to the point where his own subordinates were inciting each other to covet the position of Commander-in-Chief!

The guards and warriors kneeling around them clearly felt the wrath of the commander-in-chief.

They all fell silent, as if trembling with fear, not daring to utter a sound.

However, I suspect that your general, who adheres so firmly to tradition, has already internally decided on the next leader, hasn't he?

Is it Osaka or Ura-kado?

I believe that Lord Zuo Xiong understands this better than I, an outsider.

However, a tremendous opportunity is now before you; I wonder if you dare to take the plunge.

The incident in the Land of Hot Springs,

Given your nature, you will undoubtedly send envoys to negotiate, but such feeble negotiations are unlikely to achieve any real results.

The final outcome will likely be nothing more than a fading away.

But if you can use this incident to your advantage, to show your country's elites and warriors your iron-fisted methods and a different, new spirit, then why worry about not gaining support?

This is your only chance to overtake on a curve by using your line of sight.

In conclusion,

[Whether you choose to let the Land of Iron continue to sink into oblivion along with its outdated Bushido spirit, or make a splash in the desolate north and create a new school that allows the samurai spirit to continue, the choice is yours.]

【certainly,】

You will not fight alone, for I will help you.
