Chapter 186 Izanagi

In the forest near Richard's residence.

Mao Yue Xiyan, who was holding a vibranium sword, was attacking Richard.

In addition to Konoha-style swordsmanship, she also used the tiger hunt taught to her by Richard.

Although she tried her best, she still failed to hit Richard.

Whether it was swordsmanship or strength, there was a big difference between the two of them.

If Richard didn't want to be hit by her, even if she learned the flying thunder god technique, she still wouldn't be able to hit him.

For long-distance movement, Richard's super speed is indeed not as good as the Flying Thunder God.

But within short distances, his super speed is no slower than Flying Thunder God.

The Flying Thunder God is indeed very fast, but the reaction speed of the caster has a limit.

Even if someone uses Flying Thunder God and comes near him, he can use super speed to leave before the opponent attacks him, thereby avoiding the opponent's attack.

Dang, Dang, Dang, Dang...

The crisp sound of vibranium knives colliding with each other continued to sound.

At Maoyue Xiyan's request, Richard deliberately used the vibranium sword.

Although it made no difference to him, Uoyuki Xiyan didn't want him to continue using the wooden sword.

As for the reason, it's simple.

Because if he uses a wooden sword, Uoyue Xiyan will feel even more incompetent.

In order to take care of Mao Yue Xiyan's emotions, Richard specially used the vibranium long knife.

Time passes little by little.

After fighting in the forest for more than half an hour, Richard and Uoyue Xiyan finally stopped.

For Richard, a fight of this level was not even a warm-up.

But for Uoyue Xiyan, it was a battle with all her strength.

This also led to the two of them showing completely different states after the fight.

Richard's breathing was steady and he didn't even sweat much.

Maoyue Xiyan, on the other hand, was sweating profusely and out of breath.

Although she is a special jounin, she does not have a lot of chakra.

With all her strength, it was already very difficult for her to last for more than half an hour.

"Let's get here first today."

Richard took the vibranium sword back into the system space and said to Uo Yue Xiyan.

"good!"

Maoyue Xiyan quickly replied.

After Maoyue Xiyan recovered some strength, the two of them walked towards Richard's residence together.

The day after the funeral of the Third Hokage, Uzuki Xiyan "lived together" with Richard.

It's not the kind of cohabitation between lovers, but Mao Yue Xiyan moved to Richard's house for the convenience of asking him for advice.

Although she doesn't have to pay rent, Uoyuki Xiyan takes on the housework.

For example, washing clothes, cooking, cleaning the house, etc.

Richard did not object and happily accepted Mao Yue Xiyan as his roommate.

It didn't take long for them to return to their residence.

"are you hungry?"

"If I'm not hungry, I plan to take a shower first."

Mao Yue Xiyan said to Richard.

"Go ahead, I'm not hungry."

Richard replied.

After hearing his answer, Uoyue Xiyan immediately went to the second bedroom where she lived.

Then, he went to the bathroom with clean clothes.

As for Richard, he came to the study room.

Although the Third Hokage is dead, he still does not plan to leave Konoha in the short term.

Not only that, he was also considering whether Tsunade should join Konoha after becoming the Fifth Hokage, become a registered ninja in Konoha, and accept some commissions to pass the time.

He does know a lot of ninjutsu and can call himself a ninja.

But without being recognized by the Ninja Village, or becoming a registered ninja in a certain Ninja Village, he would not be able to accept commissions like other ninjas.

Of course, I just couldn't receive a serious commission from the Ninja Village.

If it is an informal request, it can be accepted regardless of whether it is a registered ninja in the Ninja Village or not.

Zabuza is a good example.

Although Zabuza is a rebellious nin of Kirigakure Village, he still receives various commissions from other people.

However, most of the commissions accepted as rebel ninjas are murder-type commissions.

Otherwise, the client would not specifically go to the traitorous ninja to make the entrustment, but would just find a random ninja village.

After thinking for a while, Richard made a decision and gave up the idea of ​​registering as a ninja in Konoha.

As for the reason, it's simple.

If he registered as a ninja in Konoha, then his superior would not only be Tsunade.

On the surface, only the Hokage can assign tasks to Konoha's ninjas.

But that's not the case.

The elders and other high-level officials in the village also have such rights.

Although he can ignore this guy, no matter what, as long as he registers as a ninja of Konoha, he will have many more bosses on his head.

He didn't want to see anyone telling him what to do in the name of his boss.

As for accepting entrustments to kill time, he planned to solve it in another way.

For example, set up a private agency similar to a detective agency to accept commissions from other people.

In this way, not only can he find interesting things to pass the time, but he will also not have a so-called superior.

very good!

That’s it!

After making the decision, Richard left the study.

Maoyue Xiyan only stayed in the bathroom for less than twenty minutes before coming out.

After taking a shower, she did not continue wearing the black tights and green vest, but put on home clothes like a white dress.

I have to say that after putting on this white skirt, Uo Yue Xi looks better.

After coming out of the bathroom, she came to the living room and asked about Richard.

"What do you want to eat?"

Maoyue Xiyan asked him.

"Anything goes."

"I'm not picky about food."

Richard quickly replied.

That's what he said, but what he wanted to eat now was Uoyuki Xiyan.

However, he would not force Maoyue Xiyan to eat whatever he wanted.

If Mao Yue Xiyan didn't have that idea, he wouldn't go against Uo Yue Xiyan's wishes.

After all, this is a matter of principle.

"good!"

After hearing Richard's answer, Maoyue Xiyan quickly replied.

Then, he turned around and headed to the kitchen.

Time passes little by little.

More than half an hour later, Uzuki Xiyan prepared a very traditional Japanese lunch.

It's not a huge meal, but it's not bad either.

After all, Uoyue Xiyan's cooking skills are quite good.

After tasting the lunch cooked by Maoyue Xiyan, Richard put away the dishes and chopsticks with her.

While Mao Yue Xiyan was washing the dishes, Richard briefly told her about his plans to open an office.

"If you just want to find something to do, you can register as a ninja in the village. There is no need to open your own office."

Mao Yue Xiyan said to Richard.

"I don't like being bossed around."

Richard quickly replied.

"All right."

"But if you open a commissioned office in the village, the procedures will be very troublesome."

"After all, this is equivalent to robbing the village of its trust."

Maoyue Xiyan continued.

"I have also considered what you said, so after the Fifth Hokage takes office, I will have a chat with the Fifth Hokage in person."

Richard answered casually.

Of course, he also knew that opening his own office was tantamount to robbing the village of its trust, but he still decided to do so.

As for how to convince Tsunade, he had already thought about it.

Compared with the Third Hokage, Tsunade is not rigid and is relatively easy to communicate with.

As long as he makes some promises to Tsunade, such as helping Konoha when Konoha is in danger, or promising that he can provide additional help when Tsunade encounters difficult problems that cannot be solved, Tsunade will have a lot of potential. The probability is that he will open an office.

No matter what, he is now recognized as an S-class ninja by the villagers of Konoha.

Although his strength is stronger than the Kage of the Five Hidden Villages, he only showed a small part of his power at the Chunin Examination venue.

"Do you think Tsunade-sama would really be willing to come back as the Fifth Hokage?"

Mao Yue Xiyan turned to look at Richard and asked seriously.

The fact that Jiraiya was unwilling to serve as the Fifth Hokage and proposed that Tsunade should be the Fifth Hokage was not a secret in Konoha.

The day after Jiraiya refused to become Hokage, the news had spread throughout the village.

Although the top management and villagers of Konoha would prefer Jiraiya to serve as the Fifth Hokage, there is nothing they can do if Jiraiya is not willing.

"Definitely!"

Richard quickly replied.

"Why?"

Mao Yue Xiyan looked at Richard in confusion.

"Because she is Konoha's Tsunade-hime!"

"Konoha was founded by her grandfather. She will definitely not just watch Konoha become the weakest existence among the five hidden villages."

Richard replied.

That being said, it is still unknown whether Naruto can move Tsunade like in the original work.

In addition, it is not yet certain whether Tsunade can break through the psychological barrier of hemophobia.

If Orochimaru had the souls of his hands sealed by the Third Hokage like in the original work, Tsunade would most likely be moved by Naruto and break through the psychological barrier like in the original work.

But the problem is that Orochimaru does not have the soul of his hands sealed now.

In other words, the battle between the three ninjas in the original work will not happen.

Therefore, Richard cannot guarantee whether Tsunade will still be like in the original work.

However, the possibility that Tsunade will succeed the Fifth Hokage is still very high.

As for the rest, it’s hard to say.

After Mao Yue Xiyan finished washing the dishes, Richard and she went back to their respective rooms to take a nap.

afternoon.

They started the same training as in the morning.

Like the morning, their afternoon training lasted just over half an hour.

The result of the training was no different. Maoyue Xiyan still failed to hit Richard.

However, Maoyue Xiyan did not suffer any blow and was still full of fighting spirit.

Hitting Richard is considered a departure!

This is the goal she set for herself.

After finishing the afternoon training, Richard and Uoyue Xiyan returned to their residence together.

Just when Maoyue Xiyan was about to go to the bathroom to take a shower and then prepare dinner, just like at noon, there was a sudden knock on the door.

After hearing the knock on the door, Richard and Uo Yue Xiyan showed surprised expressions at the same time.

Without any hesitation, Richard used his super vision to glance at the door.

Why is it him?

After seeing the visitor at the door, Richard frowned slightly.

He thought the person knocking on the door was Sasuke.

After all, Sasuke is the only person besides Uazuki Yugao who would come here to find him.

As it turns out, he was wrong.

The person standing at the door was not Sasuke, but a strange ninja wearing a mask and dressed differently from the ANBU ninja.

Although he didn't know the other person, Richard guessed the other person's identity after seeing the mask and clothes he was wearing.

root!

The other party is a member of "root".

"Root" is the department established by Danzo to realize his ideals.

In name only, Gen is the training arm of ANBU.

But in reality, Root is Danzo's personal organization.

Compared with ANBU, what Gen does is more shady and his methods are more cruel. It is the most direct, effective and cruel sword in Konoha's hands.

Unlike ANBU, Ne, or Danzo, pursues the policy of "rather killing the wrong than letting go" and eradicates any threat that may threaten Konoha.

No matter if the threat comes from inside the village or outside.

The birth and existence of the root are all with the tacit approval of the Third Hokage.

Although Root was born with the acquiescence of the Third Hokage, Danzo once asked members of "Gen" to carry out assassinations against the Third Hokage.

After the Fourth Hokage died because of Kyuubi, the Third Hokage took over again.

Danzo did not want to see the Third Hokage continue to rule Konoha, so he formed a ten-man team to assassinate the Third Hokage.

But unfortunately, their assassination failed because Kakashi defected.

After Danzo planned and executed the Uchiha genocide, the Third Hokage dismissed Danzo from his position as "Hokage Assistant" and had Danzo disbanded.

But within a few years, the roots were rebuilt.

Because of the support of Konoha advisors Mito Kadoen and Koharu Koharu, the Third Hokage was unable to prevent Danzo from reestablishing his roots.

It was not until the end of the Fourth War that Gen disbanded again amid the opposition of everyone in Konoha.

But just like before, even after it was disbanded, there were still many people secretly loyal to the roots and moving around as remnants of the party.

After opening the door, Richard said to the "Gen" ninja who knocked on the door: "Who are you looking for?"

"I'm here to see you, Lord Richard."

"Master Danzo wants to meet you, Master Richard."

The "Gen" ninja wearing a white mask quickly replied.

"Not interested."

After saying that, Richard closed the door.

Although Danzo himself has considerable strength, he is also in charge of the root organization of "Ninja Darkness".

But he still didn't intend to give Danzo face.

He didn't care about the Third Hokage, let alone Danzo.

If he really pissed him off, he wouldn't mind cutting off Danzo's Sharingan arm and keeping it as a collection.

Although Danzo's use of the Sharingan is a waste, he is not useless.

First of all, one of Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyō Sharingan is on Danzo's body. Danzo's left eye, which is usually covered by a bandage, is Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyō Sharingan.

Through Shisui's Mangekyō Sharingan, Danzo can cast Betenjin, known as the "most powerful illusion".

In addition, using the Sharingan on his right arm, Danzo can also perform "Izanagi", one of the ultimate eye techniques unique to the Uchiha clan.

Izanagi allows the caster to disappear the things that have happened in a period of time that are not good for him, and only keep the things that are good for him.

Even if he is killed, he can "resurrection" himself.

To put it simply, for the duration of Izanagi, the caster is invincible.

Depending on the ability, Izanagi's duration is not fixed.

The Izanagi cast by Danzo can last for one minute.

Although the duration is different, the result is the same, that is, the Sharingan used to perform the technique must be blinded.

But even if Danzo can use Betenjin and Izanagi, Richard is absolutely sure to kill him.

In other words, kill Danzo before he has time to use Betenjin and Izanagi.

When Richard returned to the living room, Mao Yue Xiyan immediately asked, "Who is here?"

"Danzo's men said that Danzo wanted to see me."

Richard replied.

Danzo?

After hearing his answer, Uoyue Xiyan immediately frowned.

Although Danzo was no longer the "Hokage's Assistant" at this time, he still had considerable power in the village.

Not only does he control the root organization, but he is also a student of the Second Hokage, and has close friendships with many of Konoha's top brass.

Otherwise, Mito Kaden and Koharu Kaden, who are Konoha consultants, would not support him in rebuilding the root tissue.

"Aren't you going to see him?"

Maoyue Xiyan continued to ask.

"Nothing to see."

"Even if we don't meet, I can still guess what he wants to say to me."

Richard replied.

…
