Chapter 180 Competition for Hokage

With Richard's reaction and speed, he could easily avoid Jiraiya's attack.

But he didn't intend to do so.

Although Jiraiya had mastered the Rasengan for much longer than him, he didn't think that the power of the Rasengan he used would be weaker than Jiraiya's.

In just a moment, Jiraiya came in front of Richard, and the Rasengan in his right hand attacked Richard's chest.

After seeing that Jiraiya's target was his chest, Richard also raised his right hand and let the Rasengan in his hand attack Jiraiya's Rasengan.

Bang!

The two Rasengans collided fiercely, erupting with a huge shock wave and airflow.

Neither Richard's Rasengan nor Jiraiya's Rasengan collapsed in the collision, and still maintained their normal form and spun wildly, trying to completely destroy the other.

Although their Rasengans did not change at all, Jiraiya's expression became extremely solemn.

Because he found that Richard's control of the Rasengan was not inferior to his own, and the amount of chakra was not less than his own.

Who is he?

Why have I never heard of his existence before?

Is he the successor secretly cultivated by a certain Kage?

Or is he also a member of the Akatsuki organization?

…

Several thoughts flashed through Jiraiya's mind.

The Naruto world is not big, nor is it small.

For ordinary people, the Naruto world is indeed big.

But for an S-level ninja like Jiraiya, the Naruto world is not very big.

Apart from anything else, he has been to every country in this world, and more than once.

Not only that, he knows all the countries in this world very well.

According to common sense, a powerful ninja like Richard, whose strength has reached the level of elite jonin, and may even reach the level of Kage, has long been famous throughout the ninja world.

However, it was not until Kakashi brought back Richard's information from the Land of Waves that Konoha first knew of Richard's existence.

Unlike Jiraiya, who had many guesses flashing through his mind, Richard was only thinking about two questions now, that is, whether Jiraiya would use the Sage Mode later, and whether he would summon Gamabunta.

Time passed by little by little.

Unconsciously, almost ten seconds had passed.

After finding that his Rasengan was completely unable to destroy Richard's Rasengan, Jiraiya decisively gave up the idea of ​​continuing the competition.

Without any hesitation, he immediately retreated more than ten or twenty meters.

Then, he released the Rasengan in his hand.

After releasing the Rasengan, he quickly formed seals with both hands.

Fire Style: Big Flame Bomb!

Soon, he completed the hand seals of Fire Style: Big Flame Bomb, opened his mouth, and sprayed a huge orange-yellow flame like a cannonball at Richard.

Although he had never seen Jiraiya perform Fire Style: Big Flame Bomb before, Richard immediately recognized this ninjutsu.

Among the fire style ninjutsu mastered by Jiraiya, only two ninjutsu can spit out orange-yellow flames like cannonballs.

One is Fire Style: Flame Bomb, and the other is Fire Style: Big Flame Bomb, which is ten times more powerful than Fire Style: Flame Bomb.

Although it is more powerful, the principles of Fire Style: Big Flame Bomb and Fire Style: Flame Bomb are exactly the same, except that the chakra consumed is different.

The chakra is trained into oil and held in the air. When the oil is spit out, it is ignited with fire jutsu, and finally forms a fire bomb-like attack.

After seeing Jiraiya perform Fire jutsu·Big Flame Bomb, Richard also released the Rasengan in his hand and activated the magic power in his body.

Big Blizzard!

Ice Mirror!

Richard did not perform other ninjutsu, nor did he dodge, but performed the ice mirror that had blocked the three-tailed water bomb.

Like before, the thickness of the ice mirror was very thin, only a few millimeters.

Although it was not thick, the defensive power of the ice mirror was unquestionable.

The three-tailed had a deep understanding of this.

The white ice mirror took shape in an instant, blocking Richard like a shield.

Boom!

The huge orange-yellow flame like a huge cannonball hit the ice mirror fiercely, bursting out with a loud noise, and exploded violently like fireworks.

Although it is only a B-level fire jutsu, the power of Fire jutsu·Big Flame Bomb is not weak.

In the book of the author of the setting book, Fire jutsu·Big Flame Bomb has such a description.

"The strange giant fire bomb released burned the world and left no place to escape!"

Although this description is a bit exaggerated, it is also a very normal thing.

Let's take a simple example.

The description of absolute defense alone has been used for several different ninjutsu.

When the flame of the Fire Style·Big Flame Bomb completely dissipated, Jiraiya's expression became a little ugly.

The ice mirror hit by the Fire Style·Big Flame Bomb not only did not break, but there was not even a crack on it.

What kind of ninjutsu is this?

Although Jiraiya has not seen all the ninjutsu, and he does not want to master all the ninjutsu in the world like Orochimaru, he knows about the more famous ninjutsu.

Even if he has not seen it with his own eyes, at least he knows the general information.

But at this time, the ice mirror floating in front of Richard like a mirror, he has not only never seen it, but he has never even heard of it.

If he has the Sharingan and the Byakugan, or the Samsara Eye, he can tell at a glance that Richard is not performing a ninjutsu now.

If the ice mirror is made of chakra, you can see the existence of chakra on the ice mirror.

Although he didn't have special eyes like the Sharingan and the Byakugan, Jiraiya's mind quickly flashed through a sentence said by the Third Hokage.

"Richard has mastered a special move similar to Ninjutsu, but not Ninjutsu."

"He used a large-scale attack move similar to Wind Style: Wind Blade in front of Kakashi, but Kakashi didn't see any chakra on those wind blades."

Is this ice mirror also that kind of special move?

Jiraiya frowned and looked at the ice mirror in front of Richard.

Just when he wanted to confirm further, Richard removed the ice mirror in front of him and said to him: "You used Fire Style, so I will return one to you!".

After that, Richard began to quickly form seals.

Fire Style: Great Fireball!

A three-meter-diameter orange-red fireball flew towards Jiraiya at a high speed.

Unlike the ice mirror created by Richard with the blizzard, Jiraiya recognized the Uchiha clan's Fire Style: Great Fireball that Richard was using at a glance.

Although he himself did not know this ninjutsu, he had seen many Uchiha clan members in the village perform this ninjutsu before the night of the Uchiha clan's extermination.

Without much effort, Jiraiya avoided the huge fireball.

Although the flying speed of the fireball was not slow, it was abnormal for a ninja of Jiraiya's level to be hit.

"Did you learn this from Uchiha Sasuke?"

Jiraiya asked Richard.

"No!"

"I taught him some things, but I didn't learn anything from him."

Richard replied casually.

For now, he did not learn anything from Sasuke.

But it will not be the case in a while.

After the Chunin Exam is over, he will use his super vision and memory to learn Chidori from Sasuke.

After hearing Richard's answer, Jiraiya said slowly: "You are not weak, and ordinary ninjutsu can hardly threaten you."

"In that case, let's try this trick."

As soon as the voice fell, Jiraiya bit the index finger of his right hand and quickly formed a seal.

Then, he pressed his right hand hard on the ground.

As his right hand touched the ground, a spider web-like technique immediately appeared on the ground.

Bang!

A huge sound and smoke were produced at the same time!

The next second, a huge red toad appeared in Richard's sight.

When Richard saw Jiraiya forming a seal, he knew that he wanted to perform the summoning technique.

After summoning Gamabunta, Jiraiya stood on top of Gamabunta and looked down at Richard.

"Summoning technique, right?"

"I can do it too!"

Richard said with a smile, and quickly formed seals with both hands.

Unlike Jiraiya, he did not bite his fingers and let himself bleed.

When he signed the contract with the three-tailed beast, he did not leave his blood on the contract, but left his chakra as a mark.

The contract he signed with the three-tailed beast was not a normal blood contract, but a summoning contract that he had modified himself and specifically targeted the tailed beast.

Bang!

Just like when Jiraiya summoned Gamabunta, Richard's figure was quickly shrouded by smoke that appeared out of thin air.

As the smoke disappeared, Jiraiya and Gamabunta showed surprised expressions at the same time.

Is this the three-tailed beast?

Wasn't the three-tailed beast sealed in the body of the fourth generation of Mizukage?

How could his summoning beast be the three-tailed beast?

Looking at the three-tailed beast summoned by Richard, Jiraiya suddenly thought of something.

After sealing the tailed beast in the body and turning it into a Jinchūriki, no matter whether the tailed beast is extracted or leaves the body in other forms, such as breaking the seal, the Jinchūriki will die.

Unless special means are used, such as the forbidden technique of reincarnation and the outer way of reincarnation, the special means such as the technique of reincarnation are used to save the Jinchūriki, or the tailed beast is stuffed back into the Jinchūriki's body.

Otherwise, the Jinchūriki who lost the tailed beast would surely die.

Although he didn't know why the three-tailed beast became Richard's summoning beast, after seeing the three-tailed beast, Jiraiya knew that the fourth generation Mizukage was likely to be in danger.

Has the Hidden Mist Village changed its Mizukage?

Who is the new Mizukage?

After the village affairs are over, it is necessary to go to the Hidden Mist Village!

Could he be the new Mizukage of the Hidden Mist Village?

Looking at the three-tailed beast who was stepped on by Richard but still remained quiet and without complaint, Jiraiya's mind unconsciously flashed the idea that Richard was the new Mizukage.

But soon, he dispelled this idea.

If Richard was the fifth generation Mizukage, he would never come to Konoha in person at the risk of his life.

Even if he had absolute confidence in his own strength, he would not do this.

Because the Mizukage is not only the strongest person in the Hidden Mist Village, but also the highest administrator of the Hidden Mist Village.

"I have to say, I really underestimated you."

"Even the Three-Tails has become your summoning beast, your strength is definitely far beyond the average elite jonin."

"Even in Konoha, with the strength you have shown now, as long as you are a ninja of Konoha, you are qualified to compete for the Hokage."

Jiraiya looked at Richard seriously and said slowly.

"Competing for the Hokage is not just about strength."

"Otherwise, Orochimaru would have a better chance of becoming the Hokage than Minato."

"Okay, let's not talk about this, let's continue the competition."

Richard said to Jiraiya.

"Okay!"

Jiraiya replied immediately.

...

More than ten minutes later.

The originally dense forest became a mess. Jiraiya stood on top of Gamabunta's head and looked at Richard who was standing on top of Sanwei's head with a serious expression.

Except for the sage mode, he had just used almost all the ninjutsu that could be used to attack and restrain Richard and the three tails.

But even so, Richard remained unscathed.

Not only Richard, but also the three tails channeled by him did not suffer much damage.

Compared with the three tails, Gamabunta is in a much more embarrassed state at this time.

Wentai's clothes became torn and torn, and she also had typhoid fever visible to the naked eye.

Compared with Sanwei, Buntai has much thinner skin and tender meat.

Do you really want to use immortal mode?

To be honest, Jiraiya didn't really want to use Sage Mode.

Because once he displays the immortal mode, it means that he has revealed all his trump cards.

Although Immortal Mode can greatly improve his combat effectiveness, he still doesn't think he can defeat Richard after using Immortal Mode.

Just when Jiraiya was thinking about whether to use Sage Mode, Richard's voice rang out.

"That's it for today."

Richard said to Jiraiya.

Although Jiraiya and Bunta's attacks posed no threat to him, Sanbi could hardly control his temper.

If it hadn't been forced by Richard not to use the tailed beast jade, it would have used the tailed beast jade to attack Jiraiya and Bunta early in the morning.

"Okay, let's discuss it next time we have a chance!"

After hearing what Richard said, Jiraiya replied immediately without any hesitation.

Later, he took the lead in lifting the psychic spell and allowed Gamabunta to return to Mt. Myoboku.

When Jiraiya lifted the psychic spell, Richard also lifted the psychic spell, allowing the Three-Tails to return to the Kingdom of Water.

"Now I am becoming more and more curious about which village you are from?"

Jiraiya came to Richard and said to him.

"I don't belong to any village or any family."

Richard replied casually.

Although what he said was true, it was obvious that Jiraiya would not believe his answer.

"If you don't want to say it, forget it."

"By the way, I heard from others that you usually like to go to Kabukicho area. If you have time, let's go together."

Jiraiya continued.

"You want to invite me?"

Richard asked rhetorically.

"If you have money, I won't mind inviting you."

"But I'm poor now."

"I'm a ninja who hasn't carried out a commission for a long time. I don't have that much money."

Jiraiya said quickly.

"You are not poor, you just spend money lavishly."

"Otherwise, you would be richer than most ninjas just from the royalties from Making Love with Heaven and Making Love with Violence."

Richard replied.

Intimate Paradise is an adult book published when Jiraiya was 42 years old, and it was also a birthday gift that Kakashi received when he was 18 years old.

Because the sales of "Intimate Paradise" were so good, Jiraiya published the sequel to "Intimate Paradise" at the age of 50, "Intimate Violence".

Just look at how beautiful Kissing Heaven is, and you can see how Kakashi still takes it out to admire it from time to time.

Kakashi is now 26 years old. He has watched the intimate paradise for 8 years and still enjoys it.

Richard also bought Intimate Paradise and Intimate Violence some time ago and enjoyed some of them.

I have to say that Kakashi has really good taste.

"Have you also seen Make-Out Paradise and Make-Out Violent?"

Jiraiya looked at Richard with a surprised expression.

"I just finished watching it some time ago."

Richard replied.

"How's it going? Isn't it great!"

"Do you need me to sign for you?"

Jiraiya looked at Richard with a proud face, and suddenly felt that Richard was not so annoying anymore.

"No need to sign, I'm not star-chasing."

Richard said with a smile.
