The Mutant God in American Comics.

Chapter 208 The Fourth Hokage's Thanks

The art of Flying Thunder God?
After seeing Richard disappear from sight, the Fourth Hokage's expression suddenly became extremely serious.

Although the Flying Thunder God Technique did not have any additional visual effects and looked no different from the Instant Body Technique, the Fourth Hokage was very sure that what Richard had just performed was the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Because when Richard disappeared, he sensed the unique spatial fluctuations caused by the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Richard used the Flying Thunder God Technique and arrived at the door of the Mask Storage Hall as if he was teleporting. He stood at the door and looked at the Fourth Hokage calmly.

Before entering the Mask Storage Hall, or to be more precise, after arriving at the ruins of the Uzumaki clan, he had already set up a number of Flying Thunder God rituals nearby.

Otherwise, he would not have chosen to fight the Fourth Hokage here.

"How come you also know the Flying Thunder God Technique?"

The Fourth Hokage asked, frowning.

"Of course I learned it from the information you, the Fourth Hokage, left behind."

Richard replied calmly.

"With just the information I left behind, you have learned the Flying Thunder God Technique?"

The Fourth Hokage continued to ask.

"Didn't you, the Fourth Hokage, learn the Flying Thunder God Technique just by relying on the information left by the Second Hokage? If you can do it, I can do it too."

Richard said slowly.

For other people, the difficulty of learning the Flying Thunder God Technique is indeed very high.

But to him, it was nothing.

The reason why the Flying Thunder God Technique is so difficult to learn is mainly because in order to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique one must possess extremely excellent talent in space-time ninjutsu and reaction abilities far beyond ordinary people.

Putting aside these two requirements, the difficulty of learning Flying Thunder God is not much higher than the Body Instant Technique.

After hearing Richard's answer, the Fourth Hokage fell silent.

Although he didn't know how Richard obtained the information about the Flying Thunder God Technique that he left behind, there was one thing he was very sure of, that was Richard's mastery of the Flying Thunder God Technique was not inferior to his.

In addition, Richard's reaction speed was much faster than he expected.

After carefully looking at Richard, the Fourth Hokage continued, "Who are you?"

"If I'm not mistaken, if I'm not mistaken, the ninjutsu you summoned from me is the Impure World Reincarnation left behind by the Second Hokage."

"You can use the Flying Thunder God Technique and Impure World Reincarnation, and you also know how to remove the Demonic Sealing Art. You must have a high status in Konoha."

Whether it is the Flying Thunder God Technique, the Impure World Reincarnation, or the Shikigami Fuujin, they are the most confidential forbidden techniques in Konoha.

Although the information of these three ninjutsu could have been stolen, the Fourth Hokage did not think that Richard learned these three ninjutsu by stealing the information.

If someone could easily steal the information of these three ninjutsu from Konoha, it would only mean that Konoha had completely declined and had even lost the ability to protect forbidden techniques.

"My name is Richard, and I am currently an ordinary resident living in Konoha."

Richard looked at the Fourth Hokage and said slowly.

Ordinary residents?
After hearing Richard's answer, the Fourth Hokage was stunned for a moment.

Although he did not see the Konoha ninja forehead protector on Richard, and Richard's clothing did not look like that of a Konoha ninja at all, he never imagined that Richard was not a Konoha ninja.

"How many generations has the Hokage been passed down now? Who is the current Hokage?"

The Fourth Hokage continued to ask.

When he was sealed in the Demonic Fuujin, he had no idea how much time had passed in the outside world.

There is no such thing as time in the belly of the god of death.

His memory at this moment was still stuck on the night of the Nine-Tail Rebellion.

"The fifth generation, the current Hokage is Tsunade-sama."

Richard replied.

Tsunade?

The Fourth Hokage once again showed a surprised expression.

Although he and Tsunade had no personal relationship, he was not unfamiliar with Tsunade.

After a few seconds of silence, the Fourth Hokage continued, "Do you know Uzumaki Naruto?"

"know!"

Richard nodded.

"How old is he now?"

The Fourth Hokage continued to ask.

"He should be almost 17."

Richard replied.

After hearing that Naruto was now almost 17 years old, the Fourth Hokage finally realized how long he had been sealed.

"How did you know that I split the Nine-Tail in two and sealed the Yin Nine-Tail inside my body?"

The Fourth Hokage looked at Richard seriously.

The only person besides him who knew that he split the Nine-Tails in two and sealed the Yin Nine-Tails was Uzumaki Kushina.

"I'm just guessing, do you believe it?"

Richard asked the Fourth Hokage in return.

"Do not believe!"

The Fourth Hokage replied immediately.

"Forget it if you don't believe it."

"Don't waste time, let's have a good sparring session."

"Naruto is in the village right now. I can let you meet him after the sparring."

Richard said to the Fourth Hokage.

Although he wanted the Yin Nine-Tails in the Fourth Hokage's body, he had no ill will towards the Fourth Hokage himself.

Not only that, he also admired the Fourth Hokage.

"it is good!"

The Fourth Hokage replied immediately without any hesitation.

Then, he took the lead in launching the attack.

……

More than ten minutes later, the Fourth Hokage in the form of an Impure World Body was firmly bound in the air by Richard's magic power, and the Yin Nine-Tails sealed in his body was extracted by Richard using the "Rune Seal" specially developed by Richard.

Like the Death Slash used to deal with the Grim Reaper, the Rune Seal was also specially developed by him in the past three years.

Although they are both sealing techniques, they are different from the sealing techniques in the Naruto world. The energy that drives the rune seal is not chakra, but magic power.

Compared to chakra, Richard is better at using magic.

Under the gaze of the Fourth Hokage, the Yin Nine-Tails sealed in his body was forcibly extracted by Richard.

Then, it turned into a red crystal the size of a fist.

It worked!
Looking at the red crystal floating quietly in front of him, Richard finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he invented the Rune Seal a long time ago, he was not sure whether the Rune Seal could really extract the tailed beast from the Jinchūriki's body and transform it into crystal to seal it.

To put it simply, this was his first time using a rune seal.

If the person whose tailed beast he is extracting now is not the Fourth Hokage who was reborn through the Impure World Reincarnation, but another Jinchūriki, then the Jinchūriki will die after the tailed beast is extracted.

But the Fourth Hokage wouldn't.

At this time, he was a body of filth.

Even if the Yin Nine-Tailed Fox was forcibly extracted from his body, he would not die.

After looking at the red crystal in front of him with satisfaction, Richard put the red crystal back into the system space and released the magical restraints on the Fourth Hokage.

"You can go back to the village and meet Naruto now."

"I will cancel the Impure World Reincarnation at noon tomorrow." After saying that, Richard did not wait for the Fourth Hokage to answer, and decisively used the Flying Thunder God and returned to his residence from the ruins of the Uzumaki clan.

After he completely disappeared, the Fourth Hokage stood there and hesitated for a few seconds.

Afterwards, they simultaneously used the Flying Thunder God Technique to leave the Uzumaki clan's ruins and returned to the village.

After returning to his residence, Richard took off his clothes, went to the bathroom and took a hot bath.

His sparring with the Fourth Hokage did not last long, only a little over ten minutes.

Although the sparring time was not long, the Fourth Hokage could be said to have used all his skills during the sparring process.

Sage Mode, Kurama Mode, Tailed Beast Transformation, Nine-Tails Chakra Hand, Sage Technique·Tailed Beast·Rasengan, Flying Thunder God Technique, Flying Thunder God Second Stage, Spiral Flash Super Wheel Dance Roar 3 Styles, Flying Thunder God Guided Lightning, Rasengan, Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique...

Except for not using the summoning technique to summon the toad and tailed beast ball from Mount Myoboku, and the sealing technique that was not suitable for use in combat, the Fourth Hokage used all other ninjutsu.

Even so, he still failed to defeat Richard.

However, Richard had to admit that this sparring match with the Fourth Hokage was the most satisfying one he had ever had since he came to the Naruto world.

After taking a comfortable hot bath for half an hour, he got up and left the bathroom, returned to the bedroom wrapped in a bath towel, and lay down on the bed.

Noon the next day.

After waking up, Richard did not cancel the Impure World Reincarnation immediately, but instead sensed the Flying Thunder God technique on the Fourth Hokage.

When they were sparring last night, he had already left the Flying Thunder God Technique on the Fourth Hokage.

Without much effort, he sensed the Flying Thunder God technique on the Fourth Hokage.

Then, he frowned slightly.

He had thought the Fourth Hokage would be in the village.

Unexpectedly, the Fourth Hokage had returned to the remains of the Uzumaki clan.

After getting up and washing, he did not hesitate at all and immediately used Flying Thunder God to come to the ruins of the Uzumaki clan and met the Fourth Hokage.

"Have you finished meeting Naruto?"

Richard said to the Fourth Hokage who was sitting in front of the mask storage tower.

"After meeting him, he has grown better than I thought."

"Besides Naruto, I also went to meet Jiraiya-sensei, Kakashi, and Tsunade-sama."

The Fourth Hokage replied immediately.

"You told them that I was the one who brought him back from the dead?"

Richard continued to ask.

"No."

"But they can guess even if I don't tell them."

"According to what they said, there are only two people who can be reborn into the dead."

"One is Lord Orochimaru, and the other is you."

After saying that, the Fourth Hokage stood up and came in front of Richard.

"Thank you!"

The Fourth Hokage said to Richard with a serious look on his face.

"Thank me?"

"You must have made a mistake. I brought you back to life only to obtain the Yin Nine-Tails in your body."

Richard said slowly.

"Although your target is the Yin Nine-Tailed Fox in my body, I am still very grateful to you."

"After extracting the Yin Nine-Tails, you could have directly canceled the Impure World Reincarnation, but you didn't do that. Instead, you gave me half a day to move freely, giving me the opportunity to meet Naruto and Jiraiya-sensei and the others."

"From this perspective, I do want to thank you."

The Fourth Hokage said this with great sincerity.

After hearing the Fourth Hokage's answer, Richard smiled and shook his head, then said slowly: "You are an interesting person."

“You’re also a very interesting person.”

"Besides, I don't think you're a bad person."

"Although you are not a ninja from Konoha, I can see that you have no ill will towards Konoha."

"Otherwise, with your strength, it would be a very easy matter to overthrow Konoha."

The Fourth Hokage said to Richard.

Looking at the Fourth Hokage in front of him, Richard did not continue the topic and said to the Fourth Hokage: "Is there anyone else you want to see?"

"If not, I will cancel the Impure World Reincarnation right now and set you free."

After hearing his words, the Fourth Hokage immediately said: "I have already met everyone I wanted to meet, so I have no regrets."

"But it would be even better if you could promise me one more thing."

Although the Fourth Hokage hadn't said what it was, Richard had already guessed what he wanted to say.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Fourth Hokage wants him to save Naruto's life.

"what's up?"

Richard asked the Fourth Hokage.

"If possible, I hope you can let Naruto go."

"Although the Yang Nine-Tails is in Naruto's body, I believe you must have a way to take out the Yang Nine-Tails from his body while keeping Naruto alive."

"I can't stop you from taking the Yang Nine-Tailed Fox from his body, but as a father, I want him to live well."

The Fourth Hokage looked at Richard seriously and spoke to him in a pleading tone.

"Okay, I promise you, I will try my best to keep him alive."

Richard did not refuse the Fourth Hokage and spoke slowly.

While that meant he would need to think of a better way to keep Naruto alive, it wasn't something particularly difficult.

The heterodox technique of reincarnation and the forbidden technique of self-reincarnation can both bring the dead back to life.

In addition to these two ninjutsu, he can also develop other jutsu to ensure Naruto's survival.

"Thank you!"

The Fourth Hokage bowed to Richard with a serious face and expressed his gratitude to him.

Richard said nothing more and prepared to cancel the Impure World Reincarnation and let the soul of the Fourth Hokage return to the underworld.

At this moment, the Fourth Hokage suddenly said: "I left some information on ninjutsu and sealing techniques for Jiraiya last night. If you are interested, you can go and get it from Jiraiya."

"it is good!"

Richard nodded, quickly formed seals with his hands, and canceled the Impure World Reincarnation.

As the Impure World Reincarnation was lifted, the dust on the Fourth Hokage's body began to slowly dissipate, and his soul left the body of the sacrifice.

After only a few seconds, the Fourth Hokage in front of Richard turned into the sacrifice White Zetsu.

As for the soul of the Fourth Hokage, after leaving White Zetsu's body, it returned to the underworld under the influence of the world's rules.

After taking a look at the body of White Zetsu in front of him, Richard did not hesitate at all and immediately used the Great Flame to summon a ball of high-temperature flame, burning the body of White Zetsu into ashes.

Afterwards, he used Flying Thunder God to leave the ruins of the Uzumaki clan and returned to the village.

He did not go to find Jiraiya immediately, but came to Ichiraku Ramen.

Before going to find Jiraiya, he planned to have lunch at Ichiraku Ramen.

Half an hour later, after a hearty meal at Ichiraku Ramen, he walked slowly towards the office.

Not long after, he arrived at the office.

Before he even entered the office, he saw Naruto and Jiraiya standing in front of the office door.
