Chapter 172 The corpses are sealed away

Chapter 172 The corpses are sealed away
On the surface, Jin and his companions were carefully selected by Orochimaru, and they came to Konoha as Genin to cooperate with this plan to destroy Konoha.

But in fact, they are just three unlucky guys.

No matter how they performed in the Chunin Exams, as long as they were not dead, they were human sacrifices for Orochimaru to perform the Impure World Reincarnation.

In other words, even if they did not die in the Chunin Exam, they would eventually die at the hands of Orochimaru.

Jin and the others didn't know that this was the ninja tool shop opened by Richard.

They just happened to be in the downtown area, and saw that the name of the ninja tool shop looked a bit strange, so they walked in.

After entering the store and seeing that the person behind the counter was Richard, the three of them widened their eyes at the same time with expressions of disbelief.

They had no contact with Richard in Yinyin Village.

But they knew that Richard was Orochimaru's guest of honor.

Was he also arranged to Konoha by Lord Orochimaru?

After calming down a little, the same guess flashed through their minds at the same time.

Although they didn't speak, Richard knew what they were thinking.

"My coming here has nothing to do with Orochimaru."

"You'd better not tell anyone else about my relationship with Orochimaru, and the fact that Otogakure was founded by Orochimaru."

"Otherwise, the three of you will be taken back by the Anbu immediately and severely tortured, and experience the exquisite skills of the Anbu torture department firsthand."

Richard said to the three Jins.

Although Jin and the others did not have very high potential, even if they did not return to the Otogakure Village alive, they would at most grow to the level of special jonin.

But he didn't want to see Jin and the others being captured by the Anbu so easily.

Without these three, the Chuunin Exam would be less exciting.

After hearing his words, the three Jins looked at each other.

Then he nodded and looked at the ninja tools in the store.

They all frowned when they saw that there were only three regular-style vibranium kunai and a vibranium dagger in the display case.

This was the first time they saw a ninja tool shop that only had four ninja tools.

Is he really opening a shop?

After seeing the pitifully few ninja tools in the display case, Jin and the other two all had this thought.

Although it was a bit strange, Jin still came to the display case and took a look at the prices of the vibranium kunai and vibranium dagger.

Then she showed an expression of disbelief.

Three million ryo kunai?
A dagger worth six and a half million taels?

Although the currency used in the Land of Rice is different from that used in the Land of Fire, the purchasing power of one tael is not much different.

Before seeing the prices of the vibranium kunai and vibranium dagger, Jin would have suspected that Richard was just using the ninja tool shop as a disguise.

After seeing the selling price, she became more convinced of her judgment.

No normal ninja tool store owner would set such an outrageous price.

Jin frowned and looked at Richard, then turned and came to Sack and the other man and said to them, "Let's go, there's nothing to see here."

"it is good!"

Sack and Toss replied at the same time.

Without any hesitation, Jin and the other two left the ninja tool shop without looking back.

After the three of them left, Richard decisively ended today's business.

Although he didn't expect to meet Gin and the others in the store, after seeing them, he knew that Orochimaru had also come to Konoha.

The teacher leading the Golden Trio is Orochimaru in disguise.

In the Chunin Exam, Orochimaru was definitely the busiest person.

Not only did he disguise himself as the leading jonin of Otogakure Village, but he also used the face-erasing technique to disguise himself as a genin from Kusagakure Village.

Finally, he disguised himself as the Fourth Kazekage in the third round of the Chunin Exam.

After finishing today's business, Richard did not leave the Ninja Tool Shop immediately. Instead, he lay on the recliner behind the counter, thinking about whether he should go and meet Orochimaru.

After some not very rigorous thinking, he decided not to meet Orochimaru for the time being.

Although the Anbu did not continue to send people to monitor him, the Third Hokage would use the telescope technique to secretly monitor him from time to time.

If he ran to see Orochimaru now, he would most likely be discovered by the Third Hokage.

The Chunin Exams are about to begin, there's no need to create unnecessary trouble at this time.

That was his plan, but Orochimaru didn't think that way.

Twelve o'clock in the evening.

Richard, who was sleeping at home, opened his eyes.

Then he got up, put on his clothes, opened the bedroom window, and used the teleportation technique to leave the bedroom.

In just a moment, he arrived at a bridge hundreds of meters away from his residence.

In the center of the bridge stood a middle-aged man.

This middle-aged man was none other than Orochimaru, who was disguised as the leader of the Otogakure Village's jonin.

"Your perception is as sharp as ever."

Orochimaru, without revealing his true face, turned and spoke to Richard.

"Don't talk about these nonsense. Why do you come to see me in the middle of the night? What's the matter?"

Richard asked Orochimaru.

"Nothing, I just wanted to ask if you'd be interested in participating in my plan to collapse Konoha."

Orochimaru didn't waste any words and directly stated his purpose.

After hearing what Orochimaru said, Richard immediately replied: "If I were interested, I would have agreed to it in Otogakure."

"I've been having a great time in Konoha recently, and I don't want to see Konoha destroyed for the time being."

Orochimaru was not surprised by his answer and continued, "Are you going to stop me?"

"Your plan to collapse Konoha will not succeed without my stopping you."

Richard said seriously.

Although Orochimaru's disguise as the Fourth Kazekage was not seen through, the Sand Village participated in the Konoha collapse plan this time.

But even with the help of the Sand Village, Konoha will not perish.

Konoha’s background is not as simple as it appears.

Apart from anything else, Jiraiya and Gai can make Orochimaru return empty-handed.

In fact, it was already remarkable that Orochimaru was able to kill the Third Hokage and cause certain casualties to Konoha.

Jiraiya has strength comparable to Orochimaru.

As for Kai.

Kai doesn't even need to open the eighth gate, the Death Gate, of the Eight Gates of Ninjutsu. As long as he opens the sixth gate, the Jing Gate, and the seventh gate, the Jing Gate, he will be able to cause a lot of trouble for Orochimaru.

If Gai opens the eighth gate of death, even if Orochimaru uses the Eight-Headed Technique, there is a high probability that he will be kicked to death by Gai.

There are many high-level fighters on Konoha's side, but Orochimaru is alone.

Even though he deliberately tricked the Sand Village into joining him and planned to use the One-Tail in Gaara's body, he still lacked sufficient high-level combat power.

"Do you know something that I don't know?"

Orochimaru asked Richard.

“I know a little bit.”

"But these are not particularly confidential matters. You were a member of Konoha before, so you should know what Konoha's background is."

"By the way, your former partner Danzo will not watch you destroy Konoha."

"If Konoha is gone, he won't be able to become Hokage."

Richard said slowly.

After hearing his answer, Orochimaru fell silent. After more than ten seconds, Orochimaru continued: "Give me a hand, Konoha will be yours from now on."

"Although I don't know what your purpose is, my intuition tells me that you are quite interested in Konoha."

Give me Konoha?
Richard looked at Orochimaru with surprise.

It must be said that Orochimaru's words were beyond his expectations.

"Your instinct is wrong. My interest in Konoha is not to take over the village or become Hokage."

"Since we all got along well before, I'll give you an extra piece of news."

"The Third Hokage is old, but don't underestimate him."

"Why he is called the Ninjutsu Professor, you should know better than me."

"The corpses are sealed away!"

"He has mastered the sealing technique of the Demonic Fuujin!"

Richard said calmly.

The corpses are sealed away?

Orochimaru immediately frowned and said slowly: "During the time of the Fourth Hokage, the Shiki Fuujin sealing technique should have been lost."

"Believe it or not, I have already reminded you of what I should have reminded you of."

"By the way, Sasuke is half my student now, so don't try to take advantage of him."

"Otherwise, this body will be the last body in your life."

After saying that, Richard ignored Orochimaru and used the instant body movement technique to leave.

Orochimaru glanced in the direction of Richard's residence.

After a few seconds, he used the teleportation technique to leave the bridge.

Noon the next day.

Richard came to the Ninja Tool Shop, opened the door, and started business for the day.

Although there won't be many customers coming even if the door is open, it is still necessary to open for business no matter how the business is.

After all, his current identity is a businessman from the Land of Water who plans to settle in Konoha.

If he couldn't even do something as simple as opening a business, his already suspicious identity as a businessman would become even more unreliable.

He came to the display case and took out three ordinary vibranium kunai and a vibranium dagger and put them in the display case.

Then, he went to lie down on the recliner behind the counter.

Unlike before, he did not continue to practice different types of Rasengan, nor did he study how to further integrate skills such as Great Flame and Great Blizzard with the Rasengan. Instead, he emptied his mind and lay on the recliner to rest.

Even if he does nothing now, and just eats and sleeps every day, his strength will continue to improve with the passage of time.

Although they are completely different worlds, the Kryptonian physique given by the Prime Superboy template can also absorb the sunlight in the Naruto world, thereby enhancing its own strength.

Be it the Rasengan or other ninjutsu, they were all things he did to satisfy his collecting hobby.

Even though he doesn't know any ninjutsu, he is still undoubtedly one of the top strong men in the world.

Just as he was lying on the recliner and sleeping with nothing to do, Mao Yue Xi Yan, whom he hadn't seen for more than a week, or to be more precise, hadn't seen since the first installment of the fee was collected, came to the store.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Richard."

After arriving at the store, Mao Yue Xi Yan said to Richard who was lying on the recliner.

"Good afternoon, Miss Uzuki."

Richard opened his eyes, stood up, and replied to Mao Yue Xi Yan.

Today, Uzuki Yugao is still dressed as a ninja as before, and looks no different.

Although her outfit hasn't changed much, Mao Yue Xi Yan seems to be in a good mood today.

After hearing Richard's answer, she came to the counter, took out two hundred thousand taels of paper money, and continued: "I know that the repayment date for the second installment has not yet arrived, but I just finished a mission recently and plan to pay the second installment in advance."

"No problem, as long as it's not overdue."

Richard said calmly, collecting the banknotes on the counter.

Although the money is dispensable to him, business is business.

He even accepted 5 million ryo from Sasuke, who was only a half-student.

As for Mao Yue Xi Gao, he certainly would not give her a vibranium samurai sword for free.

After seeing Richard make the banknotes on the counter disappear like a magic trick, Mao Yue Xi Yan immediately made a note of it in her mind.

Then, he said to Richard, "Mr. Richard, you are able to forge such an excellent long sword. I wonder if you are also good at swordsmanship?"

If there were other options, Mao Yue Xi Yan would not want to ask Richard so directly.

But in order to complete the task, she had no choice but to do this now.

At this time, almost ten days had passed since she received the task of gaining Richard's trust.

Apart from coming to the store to buy the vibranium samurai sword immediately the day after receiving the task, she never found any other opportunities to contact Richard, let alone gain Richard's trust and find out the real purpose of Richard's coming to the village.

Although Richard did not hide much, he maintained a very regular life.

But here's the problem.

Richard's life was too regular, so regular that Mao Yue Xi Yan had no chance to create other contact opportunities.

Wake up at noon and go to Ichiraku Ramen for lunch.

The shop opens at around noon and he stays in the shop until 5pm.

After closing, he would either go to Ichiraku Ramen for dinner or find a random restaurant to have dinner.

After dinner, he would return to his residence near the Uchiha clan's territory.

From nine to ten o'clock in the evening, Sasuke would receive special training in the nearby forest.

After the special training, he either went straight home to sleep or went to the Kabukicho district.

Mao Yue Xi Yan also thought about creating an encounter with Richard on the road or while he was eating.

But after thinking about it carefully, she gave up the idea.

The reason is simple. Whether it was an accidental encounter on the road or while eating, it seemed a bit deliberate.

More importantly, even if we meet by chance, we can just chat for a few minutes at most.

She thought about it over and over again for several days and discussed it with Moonlight Gale several times before finally deciding on a plan for today.

Prepayment is just the first step.

Asking Richard if he knows swordsmanship is the second step.

If the second step is successfully completed, you can start the third step of the plan.

"I know a little bit about swordsmanship, but I'm not very good at it."

Richard replied slowly.

When Mao Yue Xi Yan asked him if he knew swordsmanship, he guessed that Mao Yue Xi Yan had other plans next.

After hearing his answer, Mao Yue Xi Yan continued: "Could it be that you are too modest, Mr. Richard?"

"Maybe so."

"By the way, from what I see, you should be good at swordsmanship."

"You specifically asked me this. Are you itching to fight me?"

Richard said with a smile.

Although he knew that Uzuki Yugao was most likely sent by the Third Hokage to contact him, he didn't mind cooperating with Uzuki Yugao.
