Chapter 46
Haruto Saito could see the warrior's identity information.
Name: Kuromaru
Identity: Rogue Samurai of the Land of Iron, Wandering Warrior, Fugitive
Reputation: 1285
Relationship: Hostile
"Spirit, does the reputation calculation for samurai work the same as for ninja?" Haruto quickly asked in his mind.
"Yes!" The system spirit promptly replied.
Haruto felt reassured. This warrior named Kuromaru only had a reputation of just over a thousand, meaning his strength was equivalent to that of a typical Taijutsu-focused Chunin. However, since samurai primarily relied on swords, their offensive capabilities were stronger, though their defense was relatively weaker.
This was the first time Haruto had encountered a truly hostile samurai.
He knew that there were extremely powerful samurai in this world, most of them residing in the Land of Iron. For instance, in the original story, the Land of Iron's general, Mifune, was capable of clashing with the legendary Hanzo of the Salamander. That meant he had Kage-level strength. Such samurai could also wield chakra, making them not so different from ninja who specialized in swordsmanship.
Haruto processed his thoughts quickly as Kuromaru charged toward him.
