The Mutant God in American Comics.

Chapter 171 The Art of Flying Thunder God

When the Anbu ninja disguised as a customer left the store, Richard continued to develop the Rasengan.

Although the store is not particularly large, he does not need to test the power of the new balls in the store, nor does he need to worry about any accidents during the development process.

time flies.

Soon, it was five o'clock in the afternoon.

Apart from the customers disguised as Anbu ninjas, the store did not welcome any other customers today.

But this is also a good thing for Richard.

He had never expected this store to bring him much wealth.

The reason for opening this store is just to give myself a legal identity that can be seen through the lens.

After closing the store, he did not go to Ichiraku Ramen for dinner, but instead planned to try other delicacies in Konoha.

After asking a passerby he met, he decided to eat tempura and skewers tonight.

Nine p.m.

The forest near the Uchiha clan's territory.

Richard started tonight's special training for Sasuke.

Even though Sasuke had been doing D- and C-rank missions for a day, D- and C-rank missions didn't take much effort.

As long as they are not those particularly outrageous D-level and C-level tasks, these two levels of tasks are quite simple.

Otherwise, these tasks would not be assigned to the Genin.

From a certain perspective, these missions are for Genin to practice.

If a newly graduated Genin is asked to carry out a B-rank or higher mission that requires combat with the enemy, nine out of ten Genin will not be able to come back alive.

Just like last night, Richard finished tonight's special training by giving Sasuke special training in the forest for an hour.

However, he did not go home immediately. Instead, he came to Sasuke who was sitting on the ground to rest and asked him, "Have you been notified by Kakashi to participate in the Chunin Exam?"

Chuunin exam?

Sasuke looked at Richard in confusion.

Although Sasuke didn't answer him, he could tell from the confused expression on his face that he didn't.

"I received news that Konoha will be holding a new Chunin Exam soon."

Richard said to Sasuke.

Although Sasuke and his friends have just graduated, the Chunin Exam is held twice a year.

If you're lucky, you'll only have to be a Genin for a short period of time.

The Chunin Exam was not established when Konoha was first established, but was founded by the Second Hokage, Tobirama.

Although it is only an exam for Genin to be promoted to Chunin, many times, the Chunin exam becomes an important occasion for allied countries to observe each other's strength.

In other words, in addition to the Genin from their own village, there will also be Genin from other allied hidden villages participating in the Chunin Exam.

If Richard remembered correctly, there were six villages participating in the next Chunin Exam, with a total of about 150 people.

In addition to Konoha and Sand Village, there are also Genin from Sound Village, Rain Village, Takigakure Village, and Kusagakure Village.

Although there are six villages participating, because Konoha is the host of this Chunin Exam, Konoha's Genin accounts for more than half of the total number, with more than 80 people.

There are indeed quite a few Genin taking part in the Chunin Exam this time.

However, due to Orochimaru's plan to collapse Konoha, only Shikamaru advanced to the Chunin level in this Chunin exam, making it the exam with the fewest number of promoted people in history.

"Are you interested in the Chunin Exams?"

Sasuke stood up and asked Richard.

"Of course!"

"This is a Chunin Exam that several villages are participating in together."

Richard replied.

Although he already knew that there would be accidents in this Chunin Exam, he did not intend to remind Konoha.

He does live in Konoha now, but he is not from Konoha.

In addition, compared to the Third Hokage surviving, he would rather the Third Hokage die at the hands of Orochimaru as in the plot.

Apart from anything else, if the Third Hokage had not died, Tsunade would not have returned to the village to serve as the Fifth Hokage.

He would prefer Konoha's Hokage to be a young and sexy looking blonde rather than a lecherous old man.

Although Tsunade is not young anymore.

But no matter what, Tsunade is much more pleasing to the eye than the Third Hokage.

In addition, he had the feeling more than once in the past few days that someone was secretly spying on him.

At first, he thought it was another Anbu ninja who was secretly monitoring him.

But after using his super vision and super hearing to observe the surroundings, he did not find any Anbu ninja.

Since he is not a ninja from the Anbu, it can only be that the Third Hokage used the telescope technique on him.

To confirm this, when he once again felt that he was being spied on last night, he deliberately used his super vision to take a look at the Hokage's office.

Just as he guessed, the Third Hokage used the telescope technique to observe his special training of Sasuke.

Just half an hour ago, he again had the feeling that he was being spied on and once again used his super vision to confirm it.

His intuition was correct; the Third Hokage had indeed used the telescope technique again.

However, the Third Hokage did not see the entire process to the end this time, and only performed the telescope technique for a few minutes.

After hearing Richard's answer, Sasuke said: "Although you are from the village, with your strength, you can definitely serve as an elite jonin in the village."

"Have you ever thought about joining the village and becoming a ninja of Konoha?"

Unlike Naruto, who always believed that Richard was a spy sent by another village, Sasuke never thought that Richard was a spy.

As for the reason, it's simple.

Richard is too high-profile.

Although Richard did not do anything particularly shocking, compared with spies, his behavior was extremely high-profile.

In addition, Sasuke can be 100% sure that Kakashi must have reported everything about the Land of Waves.

In other words, the Third Hokage must have known that Richard had once stopped Kakashi from killing Zabuza in the Land of Waves.

Besides, Richard's contact with him and special training for him were not things a spy would do.

As the only remaining Uchiha member in Konoha, anyone who comes into contact with him will attract the attention of the village.

If Richard was really a spy sent by another village, Richard would never give him any special training.

"Become a ninja of Konoha?"

"Maybe I'll think about it later, but right now, I don't have any such thoughts."

Richard replied calmly.

With his strength, he can indeed easily join Konoha and become an elite jonin in Konoha.

But at the same time, because of his unknown background, no matter how great his contribution is, he will not be trusted by the village's top leaders.

On the surface, Konoha is indeed very open-minded.

But in fact, Konoha pays great attention to bloodline and master-disciple inheritance relationship.

The First Hokage and the Second Hokage are brothers.

The Third Hokage was a student of the Second Hokage, and was a member of the large Sarutobi clan.

The Fourth Hokage had the most ordinary background, but he was Jiraiya's student, which made him the apprentice of the Third Hokage.

As for the Fifth Hokage Tsunade, she is the granddaughter of the First Hokage. The Sixth Hokage Kakashi is the student of the Fourth Hokage.

The Seventh Hokage, Naruto, is Kakashi's student and the son of the Fourth Hokage.

Those who can become Hokage in Konoha are either from a big family or have a master-disciple relationship with the previous Hokage.

Not to mention outsiders of unknown origin, even the native Konoha people.

As long as you don't come from a big family and have a teacher with a strong background, you will never be able to sit on the position of Hokage.

Of course, if you have the power to kill all other opponents, that would be another matter.

As long as you are strong enough, it doesn’t matter whether you have a good background or not.

After hearing Richard's answer, Sasuke did not continue the topic and said to him: "If there is nothing else, I will go back first."

"it is good!"

Richard nodded.

Once Sasuke left the forest, he used his flying ability and flew towards his new home.

……

time flies.

Before I knew it, a week had passed.

During this week, Richard, like before, did not do anything amazing in Konoha. He maintained his life of running a shop during the day and instructing Sasuke at night.

Five days ago, Konoha finally announced the news of holding the Chunin Exam.

Although the Chunin Exams are held twice a year, the time of each exam is not fixed.

With the announcement of the Chunin Exam, the already bustling village became even busier.

Although only a small number of Genin will take part in this Chunin Exam, for the village, the Chunin Exam is still a relatively grand "event".

Because every time the Chunin Exam is held, the village welcomes many tourists.

In addition to the locals of the Fire Nation, there will also be many tourists from other countries.

Of course, there would be Genin from other villages as well.

Although the village has become more lively than before, Richard's Ninja Tool Shop is still deserted.

After the customer disguised as an Anbu ninja came, he never sold any kunai or short swords again.

There were indeed some customers who came into the store, but after seeing the selling price, all of them left without looking back.

Although he didn't sell any more kunai and daggers, Richard didn't take it to heart at all.

Not only that, he also reduced the number of goods once again, leaving only three regular-style vibranium kunai and a vibranium dagger in the display case.

As for the rest, he collected them all.

From a businessman's perspective, he had indeed had a failed week.

But from a ninja's perspective, his gains this week were anything but careless.

Except for the Rasengan that requires fairy chakra and tailed beast chakra, he has mastered all other Rasengan, such as Wind Style Rasengan, Big Ball Rasengan, Super Big Ball Rasengan, Wind Style Rasenshuriken, etc.

Not only that, in addition to perfectly integrating the wind attribute chakra and lightning attribute chakra into the Rasengan, he also integrated the chakras of the three attributes of water, fire, and earth into the Rasengan.

The only pity is that he did not further develop ninjutsu with property-changing abilities like Wind Style: Rasenshuriken.

However, he was not particularly disappointed about this.

In just one week, he was able to master all the Rasengan except those requiring Senjutsu Chakra and Tailed Beast Chakra, and to integrate the five attributes of chakra - wind, lightning, water, fire, and earth - into the Rasengan. This was already an amazing achievement.

As for other things, such as developing an S-level ninjutsu like Wind Style: Rasenshuriken, it cannot be completed in just one week.

In the ninja tool shop.

Richard was lying on the recliner behind the counter, thinking about a question, that is, whether he should steal the Sealed Book.

Although in the comics, there are only five forbidden techniques recorded in the Book of Sealed Techniques: the Four Symbols Seal, the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, the Impure World Reincarnation, the Eight Gates Ninjutsu, and the Multiplying Explosive Talisman.

But such a large sealed book must contain more than five forbidden techniques.

Richard does not need the forbidden techniques in the Book of Seales to increase his own strength.

But he still has great interest in the Sealed Book.

In addition, he also has a strong interest in the Flying Thunder God Technique.

The problem was that he didn't know where the scrolls and information on the Flying Thunder God Jutsu were.

The only thing that is certain is that Konoha must still have the information about the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Not to mention that the Flying Thunder God Jutsu is an S-level space-time ninjutsu invented by the second generation Hokage Tobirama.

Just by looking at how the Fourth Hokage Minato became famous in the ninja world with the Flying Thunder God Technique, we can know that Konoha would definitely preserve the information of the Flying Thunder God Technique well.

Unless all the top leaders of Konoha are suffering from Alzheimer's disease.

Otherwise, they would never let the Flying Thunder God Technique be lost.

After thinking about it, Richard temporarily gave up the idea of ​​stealing the Book of Seals and the information about the Flying Thunder God Technique.

The Chunin Exams are about to begin.

There's no need to create unnecessary complications at this time.

If he caused any major incident at this time, it would very likely cause the subsequent "plot" to develop in a different direction.

Although he didn't mind the "plot" developing in other directions, even if he wanted to change the "plot", he would have to wait until the Third Hokage died.

He would never be willing to accept the fate of Orochimaru unless he saw the famous scene of Orochimaru killing his master with his own hands.

Five p.m.

Just as Richard was about to close the store, three young ninjas wearing forehead protectors from the Hidden Oto Village came to the store.

As soon as he saw the three of them, Richard recognized their identities.

These three Otogakure ninjas were none other than Toss, King, and Sak, who were sent by Otogakure to participate in this Chunin Exam.

Richard had never seen these three people when he lived in Yinyin Village.

But he was no stranger to them.

Jin, whose hair grows to his calf level, uses ninja tools such as Senbon and bells.

With a bandage wrapped around his head and only his left eye exposed, Toss wore a porous armor on his right hand that could produce harsh sound waves to attack his opponent and paralyze his opponent's auditory nerves.

Saku's arms were modified by Orochimaru, and he could release air-slashing waves from the pores on his palms that were powerful enough to destroy rocks.

The three Jins were pawns carefully selected by Orochimaru to take part in the Chunin Exam.

Although the three of them are stronger than the average Genin, they all have obvious character flaws.

Jin has a very cold personality and is easily jealous of people who have better hair than him, such as Sakura.

Toss is belligerent and cunning.

As for Sark, he was equally warlike, but also reckless and arrogant.

In the comics, all three of them had bad endings.

Jin and Saku were used by Orochimaru as sacrifices for the "Impure World Reincarnation" of the First and Second Hokage.

And Toss was fooled by Kabuto Yakushi and went to provoke Gaara, but was easily killed by Gaara.

Although he was the first person to die in the team.

But compared to Jin and Sack, he was relatively lucky.

At least he was not used as a human sacrifice for Orochimaru's Impure World Reincarnation.
