The Mutant God in American Comics.

Chapter 174 S-Class Ninja

Not to mention that Uzuki Yugao couldn't do this, even if the Second Hokage Tobirama, who was known as "the fastest in the ninja world", and the Fourth Hokage Minato, who was known as "the golden flash", were still alive, they couldn't do this.

In addition, even if someone could really attack from a blind spot and hit Richard before he could react, that would only be enough to hit him.

Because only after hitting Richard, you will find that his body defense is equally amazing.

Although Richard's current physical defense is not absolutely unbreakable, there are not many people in the Naruto world who can break his defense.

Mao Yue Xi Yan knew that Richard was stronger than herself.

But she never had an accurate judgement on how much stronger Richard was than herself.

Now, after failing to hit Richard with both Crescent Moon Dance and Halo Moon Night, she knew.

Film level!

Richard's strength has completely reached the level of a Kage-level ninja!

After realizing this, she finally understood why the Third Hokage had given her the task of slowly getting in touch with Richard and gaining his trust.

Because this is the most likely way to find out Richard's origins and purpose without angering him.

Apart from this, other methods have a high probability of angering Richard.

Once Richard is enraged, with his strength, he will definitely bring unimaginable disaster to Konoha.

Unlike Mao Yue Xi Yan whose mind was full of other thoughts, Richard was not thinking about anything else now. Instead, he was patiently engaging in this completely unfair competition with Mao Yue Xi Yan.

Although Mao Yueyou's current attire looks very ordinary, it's still quite interesting to practice swordsmanship with a beautiful woman.

Time passes little by little.

Before they knew it, Richard and Mao Yue Xi Yan had been sparring for more than half an hour.

Although the time was not very long, Uzuki Yugao's chakra and physical strength had been almost exhausted. She was panting, and a tired expression appeared on her delicate oval face.

After seeing Mao Yue Xi Yan's movements begin to change, Richard said to her: "Let's stop here for today."

After hearing Richard's words, Mao Yue Xi Yan did not hesitate at all and immediately replied: "Okay!"

Although she was somewhat unwilling, she knew that even if she continued to fight, she would not be able to touch Richard at all.

However, after this competition with Richard, she found that her current swordsmanship still had great shortcomings.

Compared to other ninjas, her Konoha-style swordsmanship is indeed superb.

But compared to Richard, she was like a child who had just learned swordsmanship.

Putting the vibranium sword back into the sheath, Mao Yue Xi Yan came to Richard and said slowly: "Richard, did you learn swordsmanship by yourself, or did you inherit swordsmanship from other schools?"

"Part of it is self-taught, and the other part is inherited from other schools."

Richard replied.

"Which one inherited the school?"

Mao Yue Xi Yan's eyes lit up and she asked quickly.

"Shinra style!"

Richard replied seriously.

Shinra style?
What genre is this?
Mao Yue Xigao frowned slightly and began to recall the schools she knew in her mind.

Although she didn't say anything, Richard knew what she was thinking just by looking at her expression.

Mao Yue Xi Gao plans to confirm his true origins through the swordsmanship school!
It's normal for her to have such thoughts.

But Richard was not worried at all that she could guess his true origins.

The so-called Shinra-ryu was made up by him. There is no such thing as Shinra-ryu swordsmanship in this world.

Although it was made up on the spot, the Shinra style is not without any basis.

Sephiroth was carefully trained by Shinra, so it is not groundless to describe Sephiroth's swordsmanship as Shinra style.

After recalling in her mind, Uzuki Yugao confirmed that she had never heard of the Shinra-ryu swordsmanship school.

Although she didn't know what kind of style Shinra style was, she was not particularly disappointed.

She had indeed never heard of Shinra-ryu, but perhaps other people knew what kind of swordsmanship style Shinra-ryu was.

As long as we can figure out who invented Shinra swordsmanship and where it was spread, we can infer Richard's origins.

Even if other people have never heard of Shinra School, they can still find a way to slowly get information about Shinra School from Richard.

"You took the time to spar with me on swordplay, so I'll buy you a drink."

Mao Yue Xi Yan said to Richard.

Drink?
Richard looked at Mao Yue Xi Yan with some surprise.

He thought that after the competition was over, Mao Yue Xi Yan would immediately say goodbye and leave.

Unexpectedly, Mao Yue Xi Yan actually wanted to treat him to a drink.

Although he knew that Mao Yue Xi Yan was doing this to further strengthen the relationship between the two parties and facilitate further intelligence gathering in the future, Richard still nodded and said slowly: "Okay."

After leaving the unfinished park, Mao Yue Xi Yan did not go to the izakaya that Richard had imagined, but took him to a small shop not far from the park.

Then, two cans of frozen drinks were purchased from the ATM.

amount……

Looking at the iced drink handed over by Mao Yue Xi Yan, Richard took it calmly and said with a smile: "I haven't had this kind of drink for a long time."

"I seldom drink them normally. The sugar content of these drinks is too high. Drinking too much can easily make you fat."

Mao Yue Xi Yan said seriously.

After saying that, she went to sit on a bench next to the store and opened the drink in her hand.

Seeing that she was going to finish her drink and go back, Richard also came and sat down next to her.

After chatting aimlessly for a few sentences, Mao Yue Xi Yan asked Richard, "Richard, you are so powerful, have you ever thought about registering to become a ninja of Konoha?"

"If you register as a ninja of Konoha, with your ability, you will definitely become an elite jonin in no time."

There is no such rank as elite jonin in the ninja ranks in the Naruto world.

Students, Genin, Chunin, Special Jonin, Jonin, Kage!

Although there is no elite jonin level in the ninja hierarchy, in order to distinguish the jonin, the ninjas still divided the jonin into general jonin and elite jonin.

In addition to the elite jonin, there is another level that is not included in the ninja level.

S-class ninja!
The so-called S-class ninjas refer to those ninjas who are stronger than ordinary jonins, possess unique abilities, and are famous in the ninja world.

S-class ninjas are the elite jonin in the village, such as Kakashi, who is known as the "Copy Ninja".

It can also be a ninja who does not live in the village but has not betrayed the village.

For example, Jiraiya and Tsunade.

In addition, it can also be a traitor who betrayed his own ninja village.

For example, Orochimaru and the members of Akatsuki.

Among these S-level ninjas, most of them have the strength of Kage level.

"I have no intention of registering to become a Konoha ninja for the time being."

"Although my life is a little bit monotonous now, I personally still like it very much."

Richard said seriously.

Once he registers as a ninja of Konoha, he will need to carry out commissions like Kakashi and others.

More importantly, he would have to accept the command of the Hokage. He didn't like being controlled by others, and he didn't want to be someone's subordinate.

"If you sign up to become a ninja of Konoha, maybe we'll have a chance to go on missions together in the future."

Mao Yue Xi Yan continued.

"Let's talk about this later. Maybe I'll change my mind later."

Richard replied.

Seeing that he was not interested in this topic, Mao Yue Xi Yan quickly changed the subject and started chatting with him.

After chatting for half an hour and finishing their iced drinks, Richard and Mao Yue Xi Yan separated and walked towards their respective residences.

……

time flies.

Before we knew it, the Chunin Exam held by Konoha had begun.

Richard lived the same life as usual, which seemed very monotonous to others.

However, compared to the past, he now has one more thing in his daily life, and that is practicing swordsmanship with Mao Yue Yugao.

Although Uzuki Yugao contacted him with the purpose of completing the mission, after discovering that Richard's swordsmanship was far superior to hers and Gekko Gale, she would come to Richard's ninja tool shop every afternoon and invite Richard to go to the forest to practice swordsmanship together.

In other words, let Richard teach him swordsmanship.

Since there was nothing else to do, Richard did not refuse Mao Yue Xi Yan's invitation and acted as Mao Yue Xi Yan's free swordsmanship teacher.

At the beginning, he just wanted to kill time by teaching Mao Yue Xi Yan swordsmanship.

But after discovering that Mao Yue Xi Yan did have some talent in swordsmanship, he changed his mind and taught Mao Yue Xi Yan a few moves of his own creation.

in the forest.

Richard held a wooden sword and explained in detail to Mao Yue Xi Yan the key points of performing "Tiger Hunting".

"Tiger Hunting" is a new sword move he developed after fusing with chakra.

Although Tiger Hunting is not as powerful as Eight Swords Flash and Earth-shaking, for Uzuki Yugao, the power of Tiger Hunting is no weaker than Crescent Moon Dance.

As for the difficulty, in Richard's opinion, Tiger Hunting is not difficult to learn and it is a move that can be learned after just one look.

But for Mao Yue Xigao, or for other people, tiger hunting is not easy, it can even be said to be very difficult.

The so-called tiger hunting refers to a vicious tiger in winter launching a fatal attack on its prey.

Tiger Hunt's moves are not complicated, it's just a slash.

But if you want to perform the Tiger Hunt and achieve the effect of killing the enemy with one blow, you need to accurately grasp the timing of the attack, and the speed and force of swinging the knife must also be just right.

If the speed is too fast or too slow, you will miss the opportunity to kill the enemy with one blow.

As for the size of the force, it will affect whether the slash can temporarily change the attack trajectory according to the enemy's reaction.

For Richard, the Tiger Hunting move can be performed perfectly without the coordination of chakra.

But for Mao Yue Xi Yan, she must cooperate with chakra.

Otherwise, relying solely on her physical attributes, she wouldn't be able to fully unleash the power of Tiger Hunting.

After listening to Richard's explanation, Mao Yue Xi Yan began to try to perform tiger hunting.

Although she was very good at Konoha-style swordsmanship, the seemingly simple tiger hunting was still a bit too advanced for her.

After trying more than ten times, she still couldn't perform the Tiger Hunting perfectly.

Either the timing of the attack was not well grasped, or the speed was too slow or the force was too strong.

Richard was not surprised that Mao Yue Xi Yan was unable to master Tiger Hunting immediately.

No matter what, these are moves he created himself.

If he could learn it casually, it would only make the tiger hunting technique he created seem ordinary.

Although she was unable to master Tiger Hunting immediately, Mao Yue Xi Yan found that in the process of practicing Tiger Hunting, her grasp of the timing of attack became more accurate.

In addition, his control over attack speed and striking force was also gradually improving.

After discovering this, she practiced more seriously.

In her opinion, if she could fully master Tiger Hunting, her Konoha-style swordsmanship would also be greatly improved.

Different sword techniques do have different characteristics.

But in the final analysis, it is all about the control and changes of speed, timing, strength, and attack angle.

If you can perfectly control the speed and strength of each attack, then you can perform sword moves at will and achieve the state of returning to nature.

Mao Yue Xi Yan practiced tiger hunting with a vibranium sword.

Richard, who was standing not far from her, was concerned with the written test of the ongoing Chunin Exam.

When the Genin from other hidden villages came to Konoha, Richard took the time to meet Gaara.

To be precise, he used his super vision to secretly observe Gaara for a period of time.

Relying on his super vision, he easily saw the One-Tail sealed in Gaara's body.

In other words, I saw the One-Tail Chakra in Gaara's body.

Although they are both Jinchūriki, the method used by the Sand Village to seal the One-Tail is completely different from the method used by the Fourth Hokage Minato to seal the Yang Nine-Tail.

Richard, who had been studying the sealing technique for a while after coming to this world, soon discovered the difference between the two.

The Fourth Hokage Minato used the Eight Trigrams Seal consisting of two Four Symbols Seals to seal the Yang Nine-Tails inside Naruto's body.

In addition to sealing the Yang Nine-Tails, the Nine-Tails chakra that leaked out from the Eight Trigrams Seal will also be restored to Naruto's own chakra.

As for the Sand Village.

The method used by the Sand Village to seal the One-Tail is much simpler and more brutal.

To put it simply, the Sand Village simply stuffed the One-Tail into Gaara's body.

Although there is nothing wrong with what the Sand Village did, other villages besides Konoha also adopted similar methods.

But the problem is, except for Naruto and Gaara, the Jinchūriki of other villages did not become Jinchūriki at birth. Instead, they became Jinchūriki after they reached adulthood and possessed a certain level of strength.

Because he became a Jinchūriki at birth, Gaara simply does not have enough strength and ability to communicate with the sealed One-Tail.

Not to mention conversation, before he grew up, Gaara couldn't even control his own chakra.

Because the Fourth Kazekage kept sending people to assassinate him, and because of the villagers' hatred and fear, there was no doubt that Gaara had become a mentally impaired but powerful and dangerous person.

Then, it would be even more impossible for him to communicate with the tail inside his body.

Not only that, because he was afraid that the One-Tail would occupy his mind, Gaara suffered from insomnia since he was a child.

Gaara is mentally handicapped and suffers from chronic insomnia, so he is on the road to becoming a problem teenager.

Although the One-Tail was sealed in Gaara's body, Richard had no intention of snatching the One-Tail and turning it into a summoning beast.

He knew how to extract the tailed beast from the Jinchūriki's body.

But he didn't know how to do it without killing the Jinchuriki.

It is indeed a good idea to make Yiwei your own summoning beast.

But he didn't want to kill Gaara now.
