Heart of Steel Half-Morph Sword Saint, Madara is willing to call me the strongest

When Uchiha Yi kicked out, even the surrounding air was stirred up, making a slight sound of breaking through the air.

"Shh-"

Kuroiwa Yosuke was suddenly frightened.

How could he dare to take such a swift kick?

Without caring about his image, Kuroiwa Yosuke immediately threw himself to the ground, rolled over in a panic, and barely managed to dodge the attack.

But before he could stand up, Uchiha Yi's figure suddenly rushed in front of him and punched him directly on the head.

"boom!"

There was another muffled sound, and Kuroiwa Yosuke clasped his hands together and raised them above his head, forcibly taking Uchiha Yi's punch.

But his body was shortened and he was knocked to the ground by Uchiha Yi's punch.

Feeling a sharp pain in his hands, Kuroiwa Yosuke gritted his teeth and endured it.

Uchiha Yi had a blank expression on his face. He retracted his left fist, raised his other foot high, and kicked Kuroiwa Yosuke hard.

This time, Kuroiwa Yosuke had no chance to defend himself at all. Uchiha Yi's kick hit him directly in the chest, and he was kicked flying into the air.

"puff--"

Kuroiwa Yosuke's head tilted back, spit out a large mouthful of blood, and fell heavily to the ground.

"Cough cough..."

Kuroiwa Yosuke raised his hand with difficulty to wipe the blood on his chest, and looked at the young man with horror in his eyes.

"Is this the strength of a Chunin?! How...can you be so strong?"

Supporting himself with his trembling right hand, Kuroiwa Yosuke stood up with difficulty, his eyes fixed on Uchiha Yi.

He wiped the blood off his face, and after a moment of silence, he said with a slightly dejected look, "I lost."

All the onlookers on the deck gasped at this moment.

Several warriors were so shocked by the scene before them that they were speechless.

Kuroiwa Yosuke's strength is considered to be a strong one among the samurai in their Snowfield City. It can be said that he can fight ten people alone, but now he was easily defeated by this seemingly weak young man.

Is this the fighting power of a ninja?

Silence lasted for a long time on the deck before everyone slowly came to their senses and looked at each other, feeling a little nervous.

Some sailors who were not aware of the situation and were just watching the fun were shocked and speechless, wondering in their hearts, who is this young man?

"Naoki, is this your strength? This is shocking."

The shock on Fenghua Xinzhi's face slowly subsided, and he stared at Uchiha Yi with surprise in his eyes. After a moment, a slightly flattering smile appeared on his face:

"Naoki, you have passed the assessment of our Snowfield City guards. I will increase your salary to 100,000 taels per month. I will report to my father after I return to the city. You can also take on the position of the guard leader."

"No need, just treat me as an ordinary guard. I am not interested in any position."

Uchiha Yi shook his head and returned the sword in his hand to Kuroiwa Yosuke.

"Thank you for showing mercy."

Kuroiwa Yosuke bent down and bowed solemnly to Uchiha Yi.

He knew very well that Uchiha Yi had not attacked seriously at all. Except for the first sword strike, he had used fists and feet afterwards. Otherwise, he would have no chance of standing now.

"But it's a pity that I still haven't seen any ninjutsu. Naoki, can you show me a ninjutsu?"

There was undisguised interest on Fuuka Nobunao's face and anticipation in his eyes.

"I'm not good at ninjutsu. I'm a ninja who focuses on taijutsu."

Shaking his head, Uchiha Yi refused.

Not to mention that he can't use chakra now, even if he can, he doesn't want to waste chakra on performance.

"Well, that's a pity."

After hearing this, Fenghua Xinzhi no longer insisted.

Afterwards, Uchiha Yi did not stay on the deck any longer, but returned to the room and lay down to rest.

Three hours later, as a samurai came to remind him, Uchiha Yi walked out of the room.

This ship is a merchant ship of Snowfield City, used to trade with the cities of the Ghost Country. This time it is loaded with goods and returning to Snowfield City.

After getting off the boat, Uchiha Yi clearly felt the sudden drop in temperature.

It snows all year round in the Snow Country, and the temperature is always below zero.

Following behind Fuuka Nobunao and his group, Uchiha Yi strolled in the snowy city.

To some extent, the Snow Kingdom is similar to the Iron Kingdom in that both are dominated by samurai and have few ninjas.

The Demon Country, which is adjacent to the Snow Country, has a shrine maiden culture and almost no ninjas.

In the early days of the ninja world's history, the status of ninjas, shrine maidens, and samurai were almost equal, but with the end of the Warring States Period and the establishment of the one country, one village system, the power of ninjas began to reach its peak, and the culture of shrine maidens, samurai, and monks rapidly shrank.

In the past, the Land of Fire was a great country that believed in monks, but with the rise of ninjas, even the Fire Temple that was loyal to the daimyo gradually weakened, and even the daimyo had to surrender to the ninja village and provide a large amount of financial support.

Unlike the five major countries, the Snow Country rarely communicates with foreign countries due to its geographical location, resulting in the complete failure of the spread of ninja culture.

The current military force of the Snow Country is still mainly composed of samurai. Although there are a small number of snow ninjas among them, few of them have reached the level of jonin.

After walking for half an hour, Uchiha Yi was brought to the administrative district of Xueyuan City. There were many samurai guards maintaining law and order around him, and occasionally a few ninjas could be seen, but the highest one was only at the Chunin level.

“This is my father’s office.”

Fenghua Xinzhi, who was leading the way, stopped in front of a room and knocked on the door first. After a deep voice of "Come in" came from inside, he turned the handle and brought Uchiha Yi into the office.

The office environment is very simple, neither luxurious nor cheap, but somewhere in between.

There are green plants in the pots by the window, and the area near the wall is filled with books, documents and materials.

A middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties was sitting at a desk with several documents covered with handwriting on it and a cup of green tea that was mostly drunk next to it.

Green tea trees cannot be grown in the Snow Country and can only be imported from the Ghost Country. Only the rich or the noble can afford green tea.

This also shows the man's status.

After bringing Uchiha Yi into the office, Fenghua Xin walked straight to the middle-aged man, lowered his head and whispered a few words.

I don’t know what Fenghua Xinzhi said, but the middle-aged man showed a look of surprise on his face and turned to look at Uchiha Yi.

"Please take a seat. I am the lord of Xueyuan City, Fuuka Hiroaki."

The middle-aged man stood up from his seat and made a gesture of invitation to Uchiha Yi.

"Hello, I'm Hanzawa Naoki."

Uchiha Yi was not polite at all and walked forward and sat on the loose chair in front of the desk.

Fenghua Hiroaki looked at Uchiha Yi with sharp eyes, and looked Uchiha Yi up and down several times with a scrutinizing gaze.

The young man in front of him was definitely not a simple person, as he could easily defeat the leader of his guards.

As the lord of a city, Fuuka Hiroaki has naturally seen many ninjas. Anyone who can defeat Kuroiwa Yosuke so easily can never be just an ordinary Chunin.
