The Mutant God in American Comics.

Chapter 163 Businessman
This is not the first time that Chojuro has used the Taiba: Liberation in battle.

Although he had never fought with Zabuza, he knew that the chakra ball released by the technique of Tailed Release was difficult to break.

From a certain perspective, Liberation of the Flounder is the ultimate move of the Dual Blades Flounder.

If the chakra balls released by the Twin Blades: Aoi could be chopped up so easily, then the Twin Blades: Aoi might not become one of the Seven Ninja Swords of the Hidden Mist Village.

However, now, Richard proved something with facts in front of him.

That is, the chakra ball released by using the Double Blades: Flounder was not as strong as he imagined.

Although he didn't know how Richard did it, Chojuro's expression quickly calmed down and he asked Richard, "How did you do it?"

"It's nothing special. All you need to do is swing the knife fast enough and attack at the right angle."

Richard replied casually.

For him, this was indeed not a difficult task.

Even if he was holding an ordinary samurai sword instead of a Broken Sword, he could still do this easily.

However, if you use an ordinary samurai sword, the sword will most likely break while chopping the chakra ball.

After hearing Richard's answer, Chojuro frowned slightly.

Although what Richard said was true, not everyone can do this easily.

In order to achieve this, in addition to the sword swinging speed and attack angle that Richard just mentioned, there are actually other requirements.

For example, accurate judgment and chakra control ability.

Otherwise, even if the speed and angle were fine, there would be no way to split the chakra ball into two like he did.

After a few seconds of silence, Chojuro stopped dwelling on the matter and began to perform water-style ninjutsu in front of Richard.

After seeing Chojuro start to make hand seals, Richard shook his head helplessly.

Whether it's Zabuza, Kakashi, or now Chojuro, they all have a bad habit that he thinks is fatal.

That is to form seals during battle.

Although they need to make hand seals to release ninjutsu, and their hand seal making speed is not slow, the battle is not a turn-based game.

The time they are forming seals is when they are most vulnerable to attack.

If the enemy attacks during this time, they will immediately lose all initiative.

Of course, not everyone can attack them during this period of time.

First of all, they will not stand there stupidly and allow others to attack them.

Secondly, they will be very focused when making seals.

Finally, they all knew how to prevent the enemy from attacking them during this time.

In addition, there are not many people who can instantly come in front of them and launch an attack while they are forming seals.

Let’s not talk about Zabuza and Kakashi.

They are undoubtedly elite jonin.

As for Chojuro.

Now he can barely be considered an elite jonin.

Apart from not having particularly rich combat experience, Chojuro's strength is not much weaker than other elite jonin.

Otherwise, Mei Terumi would not have let him serve as her bodyguard.

Compared to other ninjas, Chojuro's hand seal speed is indeed very fast.

But in Richard's opinion, his seal-forming speed was as slow as a snail.

Just as Chojuro finished the first seal and separated his hands, Richard appeared in front of him as if he had teleported, raised his right foot, and kicked him away.

Mei Terumi had already witnessed his super speed, and she also told Chojuro and Ao that Richard was very fast.

But Chojuro still didn't expect Richard's speed to be so fast.

It wasn't until he was kicked away by Richard that he reacted.

In order to avoid accidentally kicking Chojuro to death, Richard controlled his strength very well.

But even so, Chojuro, who was kicked away by him, still spit out blood uncontrollably.

When Chojuro landed, Richard said to him, "That's enough for tonight. You don't have to follow me anymore. I'll go straight back to the apartment."

After saying that, Richard put the broken sword and beheading sword in his hand into the system space.

After hearing his words, Chojuro was about to say something when he felt a pain in his chest.

Although he felt somewhat helpless, he knew that he was not suitable to continue secretly monitoring Richard now.

Looking at Richard who had already used his flying ability to float up, Chojuro nodded.

Richard didn't say anything else and flew towards the apartment where he lived.

Soon, he disappeared from Chojuro's sight.

When he completely disappeared, Chojuro picked up the bandages on the ground and wrapped the double swords, Aoi, again.

Afterwards, he left the park and headed straight to the hospital in the Hidden Mist Village, ready to find a medical ninja to treat his broken ribs.

Richard did control the power of his kick very well.

But that doesn't mean Chojuro will be unscathed.

Richard just made sure that he wouldn't kill or seriously injure Chojuro with one kick.

……

time flies.

In the blink of an eye.

Richard stayed in the Hidden Mist Village for more than ten days.

During these ten days, he exchanged a lot of water-style ninjutsu of the Hidden Mist Village with the ninjutsu scrolls he got from Orochimaru and Mei Terumi.

Although he failed to obtain forbidden and secret techniques, Richard didn't particularly care.

Be it forbidden techniques or secret techniques, they will not bring any improvement to his strength.

Without much effort, he mastered all the water-style ninjutsu he had exchanged.

It didn't take him much time to learn these water-style ninjutsu.

He spent the rest of his time communicating his feelings with Mei Terumi.

Although Mei Terumi is not old, she is only 27 years old.

But in the world of Naruto, 27 years old is already an old leftover woman.

To put it simply, at this time, Mei Terumi was already eager to get married.

Although she wanted to get married, in the Mist Village where there was a lack of talented people, there was no suitable marriage partner, let alone a man who could make her feel a little moved.

In the Hidden Mist Village today, Chojuro is already the most outstanding young man.

If Chojuro was a little older and the same age as her, she might still consider him.

But unfortunately, Chojuro was nearly 10 years younger than her.

Although she doesn't mind relationships between older and younger men, relationships between someone who is almost 10 years older than her are still beyond her acceptance.

If the Hidden Mist Village was as full of talented people as the Konoha Village, Mei Terumi would not have any opinion of Richard even if he had outstanding looks and temperament.

After all, they had only known each other for more than ten days.

But in the current Mist Village, let alone men in their twenties, even if the age range is expanded to between 10 and 60 years old, there is no man who can compete with Richard.

One is an older single woman who is eager to get married, and the other is a handsome man who has no faults except for his unknown origin.

Just like learning the water-style ninjutsu from the Hidden Mist Village, Richard also did not waste much effort and successfully captured the heart of Mei Terumi and began to explore in depth the origin of life.

Mei Terumi is undoubtedly the "village beauty" in the Hidden Mist Village.

Although I don't have any experience, discussing the origin of life with Mei Terumi is still a very pleasant thing.

Mei Terumi knew that Richard couldn't stay in the Hidden Mist Village forever, let alone marry her.

But she still did not refuse to have an intimate relationship with Richard.

Even if you can't get married, you can still enjoy the pleasure of the moment.

I have to say that adult women are more open-minded than underage girls.

Apartment restaurant.

Richard and Mei Terumi, who had just woken up, were enjoying today's lunch.

"I will leave the Hidden Mist Village tomorrow."

Richard said to Mei Terumi who was sitting opposite him. "Where are you going?"

Mei Terumi asked.

"Konoha, right?"

Richard replied.

He had not told Mei Terumi that he was going to Konoha, he just said that he would not stay in the Hidden Mist Village for too long.

"Uh-huh."

Mei Terumi nodded without asking Richard what he was going to do in Konoha.

After finishing lunch, Mei Terumi left the apartment.

Although she is not the Fifth Mizukage yet, she does not have to deal with any affairs of any size in the Hidden Mist Village.

But now she is learning how to manage the village from the elder master.

When Mei Terumi left the apartment, Richard also left the apartment and flew towards the lake where the three-tailed beast was.

It wasn't long before he arrived at the lake where Sanwei was.

Although more than ten days have passed, the area of ​​the lake has not recovered.

The lake water that disappeared due to the explosion of the Tailed Beast Ball is difficult to replenish in a short period of time.

When Richard arrived above the lake, the three-tailed snake hidden at the bottom of the lake quickly floated to the surface of the water.

"I'm leaving the Water Kingdom tomorrow."

"After I leave, if there is a female ninja named Mei Terumi in the Hidden Mist Village who comes to you for help, please try to help her."

Richard said to the three tails.

Mei Terumi?
Although he didn't know why Richard came to talk to him about this, Sanwei did not refuse. He raised his huge head and nodded.

"By the way, maybe some people wearing black auspicious cloud robes will come to arrest you in the future."

"If you encounter them, I allow you to use the reverse psychic technique to summon me."

Richard continued.

Although the Three-Tailed Fox is not a ninja, it can still perform reverse summoning techniques.

After signing the blood contract of psychic magic, it possessed this ability.

The three-tailed beast still didn't speak, but raised its huge head and nodded.

"Okay, nothing else."

After saying that, Richard ignored the Three-Tails and flew towards the Hidden Mist Village.

Noon the next day.

Mei Terumi personally escorted Richard away from the Hidden Mist Village.

After coming out of the Hidden Mist Village, Richard flew towards Konoha without any hesitation.

Although he still hasn't solved the problem of his own origins, he has already figured out how to enter Konoha.

merchant!

He planned to enter Konoha as a businessman.

Although Konoha was wary of ninjas from other hidden villages entering Konoha, it did not mind merchants from other countries coming to Konoha to do business.

No matter which country the merchants are from, as long as they are doing legitimate business, Konoha will not refuse them.

In Konoha, besides ninjas, there are also many ordinary people.

To be precise, there are many ordinary people from other villages and countries.

Although he has not yet decided what business he wants to do in Konoha, to him, it doesn't matter what business it is.

He just needed to live in Konoha as a businessman.

As for whether he could make money, it was not even within his consideration.

A few hours later.

Richard arrived above Konoha.

In order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, he landed in the forest outside Konoha and took out a backpack that had been prepared long ago from the system space.

Then, he walked towards the gate of Konoha with a calm face.

Soon, the Konoha ninja guarding the gate saw him.

Although he was not wearing any forehead protector and did not carry any weapons, upon seeing him, a man in his early thirties, wearing Konoha's classic Chunin uniform and with a scar on his face, performed the instant body movement technique and came in front of him and stopped him.

"Who are you? What are you doing in Konoha?"

The scar-faced Chunin asked immediately.

"My name is Richard, and I'm a businessman."

Richard replied calmly.

merchant?

After hearing Richard's answer, the scar-faced Chunin immediately frowned.

Although Richard did not carry any weapons and did not have the forehead protector from other hidden villages, his intuition told him that Richard was not a businessman.

His intuition was correct; Richard was indeed not a businessman.

"Do you have anything that can prove your identity?"

The scar-faced Chunin continued to ask.

“Does gold count?”

Richard replied.

gold?

The scar-faced Chunin didn't expect Richard to give such an answer and showed a surprised expression.

Richard opened the backpack in front of the scar-faced Chunin, revealing the gold inside.

The backpack contained dozens of gold bars that were eight centimeters long, four centimeters wide, and half a centimeter thick.

These gold nuggets, like the gold coins he had used before, once belonged to the royal family of Wakanda.

However, there were no words or patterns on the gold nugget.

After seeing the gold bars in the backpack, the scar-faced Chunin's expression became a little strange.

He saw the backpack Richard was carrying early in the morning, but he didn't expect that the backpack was filled with gold.

"Are you coming to Konoha to make purchases, or do you want to stay in Konoha to do business?"

The scar-faced Chunin continued to question Richard.

"Stay and do business. I heard that Konoha's business atmosphere is very good. I plan to start my own new business in Konoha."

Richard said without changing his expression.

After a few seconds of silence, the scarred Chunin slowly said, "Follow me. Strangers need to register before entering the village."

"it is good!"

Richard nodded.

Following the scar-faced Chunin, Richard arrived at a building next to the village gate.

Although you need to register to enter the village, there is not much that needs to be registered.

Name, age, whether you are a ninja, which country you are from, and why you came to Konoha.

After taking the registration form handed over by the scar-faced Chunin, Richard started writing quickly.

Soon, he finished filling out the registration form.

He did not make up his name and age, but filled in his real name and age truthfully.

As for whether he was a ninja, he filled in yes.

Ninjas don't necessarily come from any hidden village.

There are many ninjas in this world who do not belong to any village or family.

As long as one has mastered ninjutsu, he is considered a ninja even if he does not belong to any village.
