The Mutant God in American Comics.

Chapter 170 Fairness
never mind!

There's no need to argue with a little kid!

Richard withdrew his gaze from Naruto and ignored Naruto's calling him a weird uncle.

After hearing Naruto call Richard "weird uncle", Sasuke agreed in his heart.

But he didn't say it out loud, and said to Naruto: "I bought a long sword in his ninja tool shop, so he treated me to ramen."

After saying that, Sasuke pointed to the vibranium katana he had placed aside.

Naruto took a look at the silver-white vibranium katana and said with disdain: "This sword doesn't look that good at first glance. Sasuke, have you been deceived?"

After hearing what Naruto said, Richard couldn't help himself.

It’s okay to be called a weird uncle!

He can't stand others insulting his work!

Although he was not a real blacksmith, he could not tolerate others insulting his work.

After all, this was made by him.

Before Sasuke could answer, Richard said to Naruto: "Kid, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand."

"I know you don't like me, but I won't let anyone insult my work."

As he spoke, Richard released some suppressive aura, locking Naruto firmly.

There was no suspense at all. After being locked by his aura, Naruto immediately felt an irresistible sense of terrifying oppression, as if he had met a small beast that was its natural enemy.

Just when Naruto was about to be unable to withstand the aura he released, Richard did not continue to lock Naruto with his aura, but suppressed his own aura back to the level of an ordinary person.

Even Naruto didn't notice that under the pressure of Richard's aura, the Yang Nine-Tails in his body showed signs of losing control.

If Richard continued to lock Naruto with his aura, the sealed Yang Nine-Tails would soon go berserk and try to break through the Bagua Seal that sealed him.

After being warned by Richard with his aura, Naruto did not continue to complain about the Vibranium Katana and Richard, and said to Sasuke: "After the mission tomorrow, I will also treat you to ramen."

After saying that, Naruto glared at Richard.

Sasuke looked at Naruto helplessly and said slowly: "Okay!"

After hearing Sasuke's answer, Naruto returned to his seat and continued eating the ramen in front of him.

Soon, Naruto finished his ramen.

When paying the bill and leaving Ichiraku Ramen, Naruto came to Sasuke and said seriously: "I still think Sasuke, try not to get in touch with him. He is not a good person."

After saying that, Naruto turned and left Ichiraku Ramen without waiting for Sasuke to answer.

When Naruto left, Sasuke said to Richard next to him: "He has no ill intentions, he just doesn't approve of your actions in Wave Country and thinks you hurt the friend he just met."

Although Sasuke found it hard to understand why Naruto would consider Bai, whom he had only met once, as a friend, he did not want to see Richard attack Naruto.

Unlike Naruto, who was hostile to Richard and therefore looked down on him, Sasuke knew very well that Richard was not as simple as he seemed.

Kakashi is one of the few elite jonin in the village.

Even Kakashi said that Richard is stronger than himself, which is enough to show that Richard is definitely not simple.

Otherwise, Kakashi, known as the "Copy Ninja", would never say that.

Although Sasuke is not very clear about Kakashi's strength now, there is one thing he is very sure of, that is, Kakashi's vision is definitely better than his.

He didn't think that Kakashi, who had the Sharingan, would be unable to accurately judge Richard's strength.

"Are you afraid that I will attack him?"

Richard said to Sasuke.

Sasuke said nothing and nodded.

After seeing Sasuke's response, Richard smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't go toe-to-toe with an underage child."

"As long as he doesn't go too far, I won't argue with him."

As soon as Richard finished speaking, Ayame brought up the freshly prepared pork bone char siu ramen.

In the following time, Richard and Sasuke did not continue talking, concentrating on tasting the ramen in front of them.

After finishing their ramen, they headed towards the Uchiha clan's territory together.

It wasn't long before they arrived at a forest near the Uchiha clan's territory.

Although it was night and the light was a little dim, this was not a problem at all for Richard and Sasuke.

After arriving at an open space in the forest, Richard took out a wooden sword from the system space and danced with it casually.

Then, he said to Sasuke: "Come on, attack me with all your strength."

"Whether it's ninjutsu, swordsmanship, or shuriken, as long as you can hit me, you have completed the first stage of training."

Looking at the wooden sword in Richard's hand, Sasuke immediately frowned.

In his opinion, Richard was looking down on him by fighting him with a wooden sword.

Although he was very unhappy, he didn't say anything. He held the vibranium samurai sword in his right hand, activated the chakra in his body, and shot towards Richard.

In just a blink of an eye, Sasuke came in front of Richard and slashed at Richard's neck with the vibranium samurai sword.

Although he has not yet determined a close combat style based on swordsmanship, his swordsmanship is not particularly bad.

Of course, it’s not particularly good.

Facing Sasuke's attack, Richard raised his right hand slowly.

Just as the vibranium katana was about to hit him, the wooden sword in his hand hit Sasuke's chest in advance and stabbed him away.

"Your intentions are too obvious!"

"No enemy will be so foolish as to allow you to attack their vital points."

"Unless you can hit the enemy before he has time to react, otherwise, you'd better give up this kind of attack that can be seen through at a glance."

Richard said to Sasuke.

Sasuke, who was knocked away, immediately stood up and looked at Richard seriously.

Then, he stuck the vibranium samurai sword into the ground in front of Richard and began to form seals quickly with his hands.

However, just as he finished the second hand seal, he was kicked away by Richard.

"You forgot just after I told you."

"Why do you think the enemy will give you enough time to cast a seal?"

"If this was a fight, you would have died twice by now."

Before Sasuke could stand up, Richard's voice rang out.

"No one else can be as fast as you!"

Sasuke said with an unconvinced look on his face.

"Do you think it's unfair?"

"There is no such thing as fair fighting in a ninja!"

"If you still have this ridiculous idea of ​​fairness in your head, you will never be able to surpass Itachi in your life."

Richard said to Sasuke.

Although Sasuke experienced the night of genocide and felt pain that other people of his age would never experience, his mentality is still very immature.

But this is normal.

After all, this is Konoha's current teaching style.

After the end of the Third Ninja World War, Konoha's Ninja School changed its teaching principles and was no longer as strict as before.

On the surface, this is indeed a good thing.

If nothing else, at least this way more Genin will be able to graduate.

However, the moderate educational policy also led to a very serious problem, that is, the mentality of the Konoha Genin after graduating from the Third Ninja World War was far less mature than that of the previous Genin.

Take Sasuke and Naruto for example.

Their current mentality is very typical of teenagers.

After hearing Richard mention Itachi, Sasuke couldn't help but show an angry expression on his face.

But after a few seconds, he suppressed his inner anger.

He had just been taught a lesson by Richard last night and knew that he had to control his inner anger.

"Very good, much better than last night." After seeing Sasuke suppress his inner anger, Richard nodded with satisfaction.

Then, he picked up the vibranium katana stuck in the ground and threw it to Sasuke.

After catching the vibranium samurai sword, Sasuke attacked Richard again.

Compared with before, this time he did not stupidly rush directly to Richard, but tried to attack from Richard's blind spot.

Although Richard did not have any so-called blind spots, it was obvious that Sasuke had begun to digest what he had just taught him.

A few seconds later, Sasuke, who tried to attack Richard from behind, was knocked away by Richard again.

……

time flies.

Before I knew it, an hour had passed.

Sasuke lay on the grass, gasping for breath, looking at the night sky weakly.

Although Richard only used a tiny part of his strength, it was enough to torture Sasuke to death.

If he hadn't deliberately controlled the rhythm and pointed out Sasuke's shortcomings.

In the past hour or so, Sasuke had died at least a hundred times.

Looking at Sasuke, whose chakra and physical strength were almost exhausted, Richard put the intact wooden sword back into the system space and said to him: "Let's stop here for tonight."

After saying that, he ignored Sasuke and walked towards his new home.

Although Sasuke was extremely tired now, he was not worried about what might happen to Sasuke later.

Hokage's office.

The Third Hokage, who performed the telescope technique, frowned and looked at the crystal ball in front of him.

He didn't know that Richard would give Sasuke special training tonight.

After seeing Richard and Sasuke fighting, his first reaction was that Richard wanted to kill Sasuke and take Sasuke's Sharingan.

But soon, he found that he was thinking too much.

Although Richard tortured Sasuke to death, he could see that Richard was teaching Sasuke how to fight.

Not only that, he also found that Richard's teaching of Sasuke was very effective.

Although only an hour had passed, Sasuke's progress was obvious compared to before the instruction.

Richard's teaching method does seem a bit rough.

But the Third Hokage, who was rich in combat experience, could easily see that there was nothing wrong with Richard's teaching.

More importantly, Richard's teachings allowed Sasuke to gain a lot of experience that would have otherwise required the cost of blood or even life.

What was his purpose in coming to the village?
The Third Hokage looked at the crystal ball with his brows furrowed more and more.

Although he didn't know what Richard was planning, after seeing Richard start to go home, the Third Hokage released the telescope jutsu and called in an ANBU ninja wearing a bull mask.

"Did Uzuki Yugao buy a long sword from Richard's Ninja Tool Shop today?"

The Third Hokage asked the Anbu ninja.

"Yes, Hokage-sama!"

The ANBU ninja wearing a bull mask quickly replied.

"Go find her and see what's so special about the long sword she just bought."

The Third Hokage continued.

"Okay, Hokage-sama."

With that, the ANBU ninja wearing a bull mask left the Hokage's office.

Less than half an hour.

The Anbu ninja wearing a bull mask returned to the Hokage's office and handed the vibranium samurai sword purchased by Uzuki Yugao to the Third Hokage.

Looking at the vibranium katana in front of him, the Third Hokage frowned slightly.

Although he had just given the order to investigate the vibranium katana, he did not expect that the Anbu ninja would come back directly with the vibranium katana.

Normally, the Anbu ninja wearing a bull mask only needs to tell him the result and there is no need to come back with the knife in person.

The Third Hokage picked up the vibranium katana in front of him.

As soon as he picked up the vibranium katana, he realized something was wrong.

Under the watchful eyes of the Anbu ninja, he simply swung the vibranium katana in his hand a few times.

When he put down the vibranium samurai sword and sat down again, the Anbu ninja wearing the cow mask told him all the results of the investigation.

When the Third Hokage heard that the vibranium samurai sword in front of him cost 10 million ryo, he showed a surprised expression.

He didn't think the price was too expensive, but rather that it was too cheap.

If he hadn't experienced the vibranium samurai sword with his own hands, he would have thought that Richard was crazy for setting the price at ten million taels per sword.

Now, he was very sure that exchanging 10 million taels for such a vibranium samurai sword was not only not a loss, but also a huge profit.

"How many ninja tools are there in Richard's ninja tool shop?"

The Third Hokage asked the Anbu ninja.

"According to Uzuki Yugao, when she went there, there were only twenty ninja tools in the store."

"Before closing the store this afternoon, someone saw Uchiha Sasuke also buying a long sword in Richard's Ninja Tool Shop."

"If nothing unexpected happens, there should be eighteen pieces left."

"Among them, there are sixteen kunai and two short swords."

The ANBU ninja wearing a cow mask replied quickly.

"Arrange a few people tomorrow and buy some short swords and kunai."

The Third Hokage said slowly.

For ordinary people, the ninja tools in Richard's store are indeed very expensive.

But for the Third Hokage, this amount of money is nothing.

As Hokage, he could mobilize astronomical amounts of funds.

Spending tens of millions of taels to buy some things was nothing to him.

Of course, the ownership of things purchased with village funds will belong to the village and will not become his personal property.

However, it didn't make much difference to him.

The things purchased with village funds did not nominally belong to him.

But he can use it anytime he wants.

"Okay, Hokage-sama."

The ANBU ninja replied quickly.

"There is nothing else to do. Return this long sword to Mao Yue Xi Yan."

The Third Hokage said slowly.

The ANBU ninja nodded, picked up the vibranium katana, and left the Hokage's office.

The next afternoon.

Anbu ninja disguised as a customer came to Richard's ninja tool shop, and while acting in front of him, he bought three vibranium kunai and a vibranium dagger.

At the beginning, Richard thought that his ninja tool shop was starting to become famous.

But soon, he found that he was thinking too much.

After using his super vision to observe the "customers" who appeared to have no problems, he saw the symbols of the Anbu on them.

If only one "customer" had the ANBU mark on him, it could be considered a coincidence.

All the "customers" have the symbol of the Anbu on them, and you can easily guess what that means.

Although they were not real customers, Richard still sold them the vibranium kunai and vibranium dagger.

The customers are fake, but the money is real.
