Chapter 163 Merchant
This was not the first time that Chojuro used the chakra release of the scimitar in battle.
Although he had never fought with Zabuza, he knew that the chakra ball released by the scimitar release was difficult to be chopped.
From a certain perspective, the chakra release was the ultimate move of the double blade scimitar.
If the chakra ball released by the double blade scimitar could be chopped so easily, then the double blade scimitar might not become one of the seven ninja swords of the Hidden Mist Village.
However, now, Richard proved one thing with facts in front of him.
That is, the chakra ball released by the double blade scimitar was not as strong as he imagined.
Although he didn't know how Richard did it, Chojuro's expression quickly calmed down and asked Richard, "How did you do it?"
"It's nothing special. As long as the speed of swinging the sword is fast enough and the attack angle is suitable, it will be fine."
Richard replied casually.
For him, this is indeed not a difficult task.
Even if he was holding an ordinary samurai sword instead of a Broken Sword and Beheading Sword, he could still do this easily.
However, if he used an ordinary samurai sword, the samurai sword would most likely break while slicing the chakra ball.
After hearing Richard's answer, Chojuro frowned slightly.
Although what Richard said was true, not everyone can do this easily.
To do this, in addition to the swinging speed and attack angle that Richard just mentioned, there are actually other requirements.
For example, accurate judgment and chakra control ability.
Otherwise, even if the speed and angle are fine, there is no way to split the chakra ball into two like him.
After a few seconds of silence, Chojuro did not continue to dwell on this matter and began to perform water escape ninjutsu in front of Richard.
After seeing Chojuro start to make a seal, Richard shook his head helplessly.
Whether it was Zabuza, Kakashi, or the current Chojuro, they all had a bad habit that he thought was fatal.
That is to make a seal during battle.
Although they need to cast hand seals to release ninjutsu, and their speed of casting hand seals is not slow, but fighting is not a turn-based game.
The time of casting hand seals is the time when they are most vulnerable to attack.
If the enemy attacks during this time, they will immediately lose all initiative.
Of course, not everyone can attack them during this time.
First of all, they will not stand there stupidly and let others attack them.
Secondly, they will be very alert when casting hand seals.
Finally, they all know how to avoid enemies attacking them during this time.
In addition, there are not many people who can come to them and attack them instantly during the time of casting hand seals.
Let’s not talk about Zabuza and Kakashi.
They are undoubtedly elite jonin.
As for Chojuro.
Now he can barely be considered an elite jonin.
Except that his combat experience is not particularly rich, Chojuro’s strength is not much weaker than other elite jonin.
Otherwise, Mei Terumi would not let him serve as her bodyguard.
Compared with other ninjas, Chojuro’s hand seal speed is indeed very fast.
But in Richard's opinion, his seal-making speed was as slow as a snail.
Just after Chojuro finished the first seal and separated his hands, Richard appeared in front of him as if he had teleported, raised his right foot, and kicked him out.
Mei Terumi had already seen his super speed, and told Chojuro and Qing that Richard was very fast.
But Chojuro still didn't expect Richard's speed to be so fast.
It wasn't until he was kicked away by Richard that he reacted.
In order to avoid accidentally kicking Chojuro to death, Richard controlled his strength very well.
But even so, Chojuro, who was kicked away by him, still spit out a mouthful of blood uncontrollably.
When Chojuro landed, Richard said to him: "That's it for tonight. You don't have to follow me anymore. I'll go back to the apartment directly."
After that, Richard put the Broken Knife and Beheading Sword in his hand into the system space.
After hearing his words, Chojuro was about to say something when he felt a pain in his chest.
Although he felt helpless, he knew that he was not suitable to continue to monitor Richard secretly.
Looking at Richard who had already used his flying ability to float up, Chojuro nodded.
Richard said nothing more and flew towards the apartment where he lived.
Soon, he disappeared from Chojuro's sight.
When he completely disappeared, Chojuro picked up the bandage on the ground and wrapped the double swords·Flatfish again.
Then, he left the park and went straight to the hospital in Kirigakure to find a medical ninja to treat his broken ribs.
Richard did control the power of the kick very well.
But this did not mean that Chojuro would be unscathed.
Richard just made sure that he would not kick Chojuro to death or seriously injure him.
...
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye.
Richard lived in Kirigakure for more than ten days.
During these ten days, he exchanged a lot of Kirigakure's water ninjutsu with Mei Terumi from the ninjutsu scrolls he got from Orochimaru.
Although he failed to obtain forbidden and secret techniques, Richard didn't care too much.
Neither forbidden techniques nor secret techniques would bring any improvement to his strength.
Without any effort, he mastered all the water escape ninjutsu he exchanged.
Learning these Water Release Ninjutsu didn't waste much of his time.
The rest of his time was spent communicating with Terumi Mei.
Although Terumi Mei is not very old, only 27 years old.
But in the world of Naruto, 27-year-old is already an out-and-out leftover girl.
To put it simply, Terumi Mei already hated getting married at this time.
Although she really wanted to get married, in the Kirigakure Village where talents were withering, let alone a suitable marriage partner, there was not even a man who could make her even slightly attracted to her.
Today, Chojuro is already the most outstanding young man in Kirigakure Village.
If Chojuro was a little older and of the same age as her, she might still consider Chojuro.
But unfortunately, Chojuro is nearly 10 years younger than her.
Although she doesn't mind the relationship between siblings, the relationship between siblings who are nearly 10 years old is still beyond her acceptance range.
If Kirigakure Village was as talented as Konoha Village, even if Richard's appearance and temperament were outstanding, Terumi Mei would not have any thoughts about him.
After all, they had only known each other for more than ten days.
But in the current Kirigakure Village, let alone men in their twenties, even if the age range is expanded to between 10 and 60 years old, no man can compete with Richard.
One is an older leftover woman who hates getting married, and the other is a handsome man who can't find anything wrong except his unknown origins.
Just like learning the water escape ninjutsu of Kirigakure Village, Richard successfully captured Terumi Mei's heart without wasting much effort and discussed the origin of life in depth.
Terumi Mei is indeed the undoubted "village flower" in Kirigakure Village.
Although I have little experience, discussing the origin of life with Terumi Mei is still a very pleasant thing for both body and mind.
Terumi Mei knew that Richard could not stay in Kirigakure Village forever, let alone marry her.
But she still did not refuse to have an intimate relationship with Richard.
Even if you can't get married, you can still enjoy the pleasure of the moment.
It has to be said that adult women are more tolerant than underage girls.
Apartment restaurant.
Richard and Mei Terumi, who had just woken up, were enjoying today's lunch.
"I will leave Kirigakure Village tomorrow."
Richard said to Mei Terumi, who was sitting opposite him.
"Where to go?"
Terumi Mei asked.
"Konoha."
Richard replied.
He didn't tell Terumi Mei that he was going to Konoha before, he just said that he wouldn't stay in Kirigakure Village for too long.
"Uh-huh."
Terumi Mei didn't ask what Richard was going to Konoha for, and nodded.
After finishing lunch, Terumi Mei left the apartment.
Although she is not the Fifth Mizukage yet, she does not have to deal with the affairs of Kirigakure Village.
But now she is learning how to manage the village from the Elder Yuanshi.
When Mei Terumi left the apartment, Richard also left the apartment and flew towards the lake where Sanwei was.
It didn't take long before he came to the lake where the three tails were.
Although more than ten days have passed, the area of the lake has still not recovered.
The lake water that disappeared due to the Tailed Beast Jade explosion would be difficult to replenish immediately.
When Richard came to the sky above the lake, the three tails hidden at the bottom of the lake quickly floated on the water.
"I'm leaving the Kingdom of Water tomorrow."
"After I leave, if a female ninja named Terumi Mei comes to you for help in Kirigakure Village, you should try your best to help her."
Richard said to Sanwei.
Terumi Mei?
Although he didn't know why Richard came here to talk to him about this, Sanwei didn't refuse and raised his huge head and nodded.
"By the way, there might be a few people wearing black auspicious cloud robes coming to arrest you in the future."
"If you meet them, I allow you to use the counter-psychic technique to summon me over."
Richard continued.
Although the Three-Tails is not a ninja, it can still perform counter-psychic techniques.
After signing the blood contract of psychic art, it has such ability.
Sanwei still didn't speak, raised his huge head and nodded.
"Okay, nothing else."
After saying that, Richard ignored the three tails and flew towards the Hidden Mist Village.
Noon the next day.
Terumi Mei personally sent Richard away from Kirigakure Village.
After coming out of Kirigakure Village, Richard immediately flew towards Konoha without any hesitation.
Although he still has not solved the problem of his origin, he has already figured out how to enter Konoha.
merchant!
He was preparing to enter Konoha as a merchant.
Although Konoha is wary of ninjas from other hidden villages entering Konoha, Konoha does not mind businessmen from other countries coming to Konoha to do business.
No matter which country a businessman comes from, as long as they are doing legitimate business, Konoha will not refuse them.
In Konoha, besides ninjas, there are many ordinary people.
To be precise, there are many ordinary people from other villages and countries.
Although he hasn't decided what kind of business he wants to do in Konoha, to him, no matter what kind of business it is, it doesn't matter.
He just needs to be a businessman to live in Konoha.
As for whether he can make money, it is not within his scope at all.
A few hours later.
Richard came to the sky above Konoha.
In order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, he landed in the forest outside Konoha and took out a backpack that he had prepared long ago from the system space.
Then, he walked towards the gate of Konoha with a calm expression.
Soon, the Konoha ninja responsible for guarding the gate saw him.
Although he was wearing any forehead protector and did not carry any weapons, after seeing him, a man in his early thirties wearing Konoha's classic chuunin costume and with a scar on his face performed the teleportation technique. Arriving in front of him, he stopped him.
"Who are you? What are you doing in Konoha?"
The scar-faced chuunin asked immediately.
"My name is Richard, and I am a businessman."
Richard replied calmly.
merchant?
After hearing Richard's answer, the scar-faced chuunin immediately frowned.
Although Richard did not carry weapons and did not have forehead protection from other hidden villages, his intuition told him that Richard was not a businessman.
His intuition was correct, Richard was indeed not a businessman.
"Is there anything that can prove your identity?"
The scar-faced chuunin continued to ask.
“Does gold count?”
Richard replied.
gold?
The scar-faced chuunin did not expect Richard to give such an answer, and showed an unexpected expression.
Richard opened his backpack in front of the scar-faced chuunin, revealing the gold inside.
The backpack contained dozens of gold nuggets eight centimeters long, four centimeters wide and half a centimeter thick.
These gold nuggets, like the gold coins he had used before, once belonged to the royal family of Wakanda.
However, there are no words or patterns on the gold nuggets.
After seeing the gold nuggets in the backpack, the scarred chuunin's expression became a little strange.
He had seen the backpack that Richard was carrying early in the morning, but he did not expect that the backpack contained gold.
"Are you coming to Konoha to purchase, or do you want to stay in Konoha to do business?"
The scar-faced chuunin continued to ask Richard.
"Stay to do business. I heard that the business atmosphere in Konoha is very good, and I plan to start a new business in Konoha."
Richard said without changing his expression.
After a few seconds of silence, the scar-faced chuunin said slowly: "Follow me. Strangers need to register before they can enter the village."
"good!"
Richard nodded.
Following the scar-faced chuunin, Richard came to a building next to the village gate.
Although registration is required to enter the village, there is not much to register for.
Name, age, whether he is a ninja, what country he comes from, and why he came to Konoha.
After receiving the registration form from the scar-faced chuunin, Richard quickly started writing.
Soon, he filled out the registration form.
He did not make up his name and age, and filled in his real name and age truthfully.
As for whether he was a ninja, he filled in the "yes" column.
A ninja does not necessarily come from a hidden village.
There are many ninjas in this world who do not belong to any village or family.
As long as you master ninjutsu, you can still be considered a ninja even if you don't belong to any village.
