Chapter 174 S-Class Ninja

Not to mention Uzuki Yugao couldn't do this, even if Tobirama, the second-generation Hokage with "the fastest speed in the ninja world" and Minato, the fourth-generation Hokage with "golden flash", were still alive, they couldn't do this.

In addition, even if someone could 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 world of Naruto who can break his defense.

Mao Yue Xiyan knew that Richard was better than herself.

But she never had an accurate judgment on how much better Richard was than herself.

Now, after casting the Dance of the Three Suns and Moons and the Hazy Moon Night but unable to hit Richard, 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 gave her the task of slowly getting in touch with Richard to gain his trust.

Because this is just the most likely way to figure out Richard's origin and purpose without angering him.

In addition, other methods have a high probability of irritating Richard.

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

Unlike Mao Yue Xiyan, who was full of other thoughts, Richard was not thinking about other things now, but was patiently engaging in this completely unfair discussion with Mao Yue Xiyan.

Although Mao Yue Xiyan's current clothing looks very ordinary, but how can I put it, it is quite interesting to compete with a beautiful woman in swordsmanship.

Time passes little by little.

Unknowingly, Richard and Mao Yue Xiyan had been discussing for more than half an hour.

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

After seeing Mao Yue Xiyan's movements begin to change, Richard said to her, "Let's get here first today."

After hearing what Richard said, Mao Yue Xiyan immediately replied without any hesitation: "Okay!"

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

However, after this discussion with Richard, she found that her current swordsmanship did still have a lot of shortcomings.

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

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

Sheathing the vibranium long sword, Mao Yue Xiyan came to Richard and said slowly: "Richard, did you learn your swordsmanship by yourself, or did you inherit the 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 Xiyan's eyes lit up and she asked quickly.

"Shinra-ryu!"

Richard replied seriously.

Shinra style?

What genre is this?

Uoyue Xiyan frowned slightly and began to recall the schools she knew in her mind.

Although she didn't speak, Richard could tell what she was thinking by looking at her expression.

Uoyuki Xiyan wants to use the swordsmanship school to confirm his true origin!

It's normal for her to have such thoughts.

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

The so-called Shinra-style swordsmanship is what he made up. There is no so-called Shinra-style swordsmanship in this world.

Although it is a current version, Shinra-ryu is not without any basis.

Sephiroth was carefully trained by Shinra, so using the Shinra style to describe Sephiroth's swordsmanship is not unfounded.

After recalling it in his mind, Uzuki Xiyan confirmed that he had never heard of the Shinra-ryu swordsmanship school.

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

She has indeed never heard of Shinra-ryu, but maybe others know what kind of swordsmanship Shinra-ryu is.

As long as we can figure out who invented the Shinra-style swordsmanship and where it was spread, we can deduce Richard's origin.

Even if no one else has heard of Shinra-ryu, they can still find a way to slowly get information about Shinra-ryu from Richard.

"You took the time to practice swordsmanship with me. Let me buy you a drink."

Mao Yue Xiyan said to Richard.

Drink?

Richard looked at Mao Yue Xiyan with some surprise.

He originally thought that after the sparring session, Uoyue Xiyan would immediately say goodbye and leave.

Unexpectedly, Maoyue Xiyan actually wanted to buy him a drink.

Although he knew that Mao Yue Xiyan did this to further close the relationship between the two parties so that he could continue to gather information in the future, Richard still nodded and said slowly: "Okay."

After leaving the park that had not yet been built, Uoyuki Xiyan 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.

Forehead……

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

"I rarely drink them. The sugar content in these drinks is too high. If you drink too much, you will easily gain weight."

Maoyue Xiyan said seriously.

After saying that, she came to the bench next to the store and sat down, opening the drink in her hand.

After seeing that she was going to finish her drink and go back, Richard also came to sit beside her.

After chatting aimlessly for a few words, Mao Yue Xi Yan asked Richard: "Richard, you are so strong, have you ever thought about registering as a ninja of Konoha?"

"If you register as a ninja of Konoha, with your strength, you will definitely become an elite jonin soon."

In the ninja level in the Naruto world, there is no such level as elite jonin.

Trainee, Genin, Chunin, Special jonin, jonin, Kage!

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

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

S-level ninja!

The so-called S-level ninja refers to those ninjas who are stronger than ordinary jonin, have unique abilities, and are famous in the ninja world.

S-level ninjas are elite jonins 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 ninja village.

For example, Jiraiya and Tsunade.

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

For example, Orochimaru and members of the Akatsuki organization.

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

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

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

Richard said seriously.

Once registered as a Konoha ninja, he needs to execute the commission like Kakashi and others.

More importantly, he will accept the command of the Hokage at that time.

He doesn't like being controlled by others, and he doesn't want to be someone's subordinate.

"If you register as a Konoha ninja, maybe everyone will have the opportunity to perform tasks together in the future."

Uzuki Yugao continued.

"Let's talk about this later, maybe I will change my mind later."

Richard replied.

After seeing that he was not interested in this topic, Uzuki Yugao quickly changed the topic and chatted with him.

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

…

Time flies.

Unknowingly, the Chunin Exam held by Konoha began.

Richard, as usual, lived a life that seemed very monotonous to others.

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

Although Mao Yue Xi Yan came to him with the purpose of completing the task, after discovering that Richard's swordsmanship far exceeded her and Moonlight Gale, she would come to Richard's Ninja Tool Shop every afternoon and invite Richard to go to the forest to practice swordsmanship.

In other words, let Richard teach her swordsmanship.

Because 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 pass the time and teach 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 he created himself.

In the forest.

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

"Tiger Hunting" is a move developed from the new sword moves he developed after integrating chakra.

Although Tiger Hunting is not as good as moves such as Eight Swords Flash and Earth-shaking, for Mao Yue Xi Yan, the power of Tiger Hunting is not weaker than the Three-day 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 at a glance.

But for Mao Yue Xi Yan, or for other people, the difficulty of Tiger Hunting is not low, and it can even be said to be very high.

The so-called Tiger Hunting refers to the vicious tiger in winter launching a fatal attack on the prey.

The moves of Tiger Hunting are not complicated, just a slash.

But if you want to use Tiger Hunt to achieve the effect of killing the enemy with one blow, you need to accurately grasp the timing of the attack, and the speed and strength of the sword must 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 strength, it will affect whether the attack trajectory can be temporarily changed according to the enemy's reaction.

For Richard, Tiger Hunt can be perfectly performed without the cooperation of chakra.

But for Mao Yue Xi Yan, it must be coordinated with chakra.

Otherwise, she can't make the power of Tiger Hunt perfect with her physical attributes alone.

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

Although she is very good at Konoha swordsmanship, the seemingly simple Tiger Hunt is still a bit advanced for her.

After trying more than a dozen times in a row, she couldn't perform Tiger Hunt perfectly.

Either the timing of the attack was not mastered, or the speed was too slow or the strength was too strong.

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

After all, this was a move he created.

If he could learn it casually, it would only make his Tiger Hunting look ordinary.

Although he could not master Tiger Hunting immediately, Mao Yue Xi Yan found that in the process of practicing Tiger Hunting, his grasp of the timing of attack became more accurate.

In addition, his control over the speed of attack and the force of the strike was also gradually improving.

After discovering these, she practiced more seriously.

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

Different swordsmanship does have different characteristics.

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

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

Uzuki Yugao practiced Tiger Hunting with a vibranium long sword.

Standing not far from her, Richard was concerned about 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 while.

Relying on super vision, he saw the One-Tail sealed in Gaara's body without much effort.

Or, he saw the One-Tail Chakra in Gaara's body.

Although they are both Jinchūriki, the method used by 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 Diagrams Seal composed of two Four Symbols Seals to seal the Yang Nine-Tail in Naruto's body.

In addition to sealing the Yang Nine-Tail, the Nine-Tail chakra leaked from the Eight Diagrams Seal will also be restored to Naruto's own chakra.

As for Sand Village.

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

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

Although there is nothing wrong with Sand Village's approach, other villages except Konoha have also adopted similar methods.

But the problem is that, except for Naruto and Gaara, the Jinchūriki of other villages did not become Jinchūriki at birth, but became Jinchūriki after adulthood and possessing a certain strength.

Because he became a Jinchūriki at birth, Gaara didn't have enough strength and ability to talk to the sealed One-Tail.

Let alone talking, Gaara couldn't even control his own chakra before he grew up.

Because the Fourth Kazekage kept sending people to assassinate him, and the villagers hated and feared him, Gaara had no suspense and became a dangerous person with impaired mind but powerful strength.

Then, it was even more impossible for him to talk to the One-Tail in 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.

With his impaired mind and long-term insomnia, Gaara ran all the way on the road of a problem teenager.

Although the One-Tail was sealed in Gaara's body, Richard didn't have the idea 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 Jinchūriki.

It was indeed a good idea to make the One-Tail his own summoning beast.

But he didn't want to kill Gaara now.
