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 has no additional visual effects and looks no different from the Instantaneous Body Technique, the Fourth Hokage is very sure that what Richard just performed was the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Because when Richard disappeared, he sensed the unique spatial fluctuations when the Flying Thunder God's technique was transmitted.

Richard, who used the Flying Thunder God Technique, teleported to the door of the mask storage hall and stood at the door looking at the Fourth Hokage calmly.

Before entering the mask storage hall, or to be precise, after arriving at the ruins of the Whirlpool clan, he had already arranged many flying thunder magic techniques nearby.

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

"Why do you know how to fly the Thunder God Technique?"

The Fourth Hokage asked with a frown.

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

Richard replied calmly.

"You learned the art of Flying Thunder God just based on the information I left behind?"

The Fourth Hokage continued to ask.

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

Richard said slowly.

For others, the art of Flying Thunder God is indeed very difficult to learn.

But to him, this was nothing.

The reason why learning the Flying Thunder God Jutsu is so difficult is mainly because to learn the Flying Thunder God Jutsu, one must have extremely excellent time and space ninjutsu talents and reaction abilities far beyond ordinary people.

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

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

Although he didn't know how Richard obtained the information on the Flying Thunder God technique that he left behind, one thing he was sure of was that Richard's mastery of the Flying Thunder God technique was not at all inferior to his.

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

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

"If I'm not mistaken, if I'm not mistaken, the ninjutsu you channeled into me is the filthy reincarnation left by the Second Hokage."

"You know the Flying Thunder God Technique and the Earth Reincarnation, and you also know how to lift the zombie seal. Your status in Konoha must be high."

Whether it is the Flying Thunder God Technique, the Reincarnation of the Evil Land, or the Sealing of the Ghouls, they are the most secretive forbidden techniques in Konoha.

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

If someone can easily steal the information of these three ninjutsu from Konoha, it can only mean that Konoha has completely declined, and even the ability to protect forbidden arts has been lost.

"My name is Richard, and I am now 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 didn't see Konoha's ninja forehead protector in Richard, and Richard's clothes didn't look like a Konoha ninja at all, he never thought that Richard was not a Konoha ninja.

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

The Fourth Hokage continued to ask.

When he was sealed inside the corpse-ghost seal, he didn't know how much time had passed in the outside world.

In the stomach of the God of Death, there is no so-called concept of time.

His memory at this time was still stuck on the night of the Kyuubi Rebellion.

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

Richard replied.

Tsunade?

The Fourth Hokage once again showed an unexpected expression.

Although he had no personal relationship with Tsunade, he was no stranger to her.

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.

"She must be almost 17 years old."

Richard replied.

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

"How do you know that I split the Nine-Tails in two and sealed the Yin Nine-Tails within my body?"

The Fourth Hokage looked at Richard seriously.

The only person who knew that he split the Kyuubi into two and sealed the Yin Kyuubi, besides him, was Uzumaki Kushina.

"I said I guessed it, do you believe it?"

Richard asked in return the Fourth Hokage.

"Don't believe it!"

The Fourth Hokage immediately replied.

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

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

"Naruto is in the village now. After we finish our discussion, I can let you go see him."

Richard said to the Fourth Hokage.

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

Not only that, he also admired the Fourth Hokage.

"good!"

The Fourth Hokage replied immediately without any hesitation.

Then, the first attack was launched.

…

More than ten minutes later, the Fourth Hokage with a dirty body was firmly restrained in the air by Richard using magic power. The Yin Nine Tails sealed in his body was extracted by Richard using a specially developed "rune seal".

Like the Death God Slash used to deal with the God of Death, 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.

Compared with 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 fist-sized red crystal.

Success!

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 body of the Jinchūriki and transform it into a crystal to seal it.

To put it simply, this was his first time using the Rune Seal.

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

But the Fourth Hokage would not.

At this time, he was an Impure World Body.

Even if the Yin Nine-tails in his body was forcibly extracted, 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 magic restraints on the Fourth Hokage.

"You can go back to the village to see Naruto now."

"Tomorrow at noon, I will release the Impure World Reincarnation."

After saying that, Richard did not wait for the Fourth Hokage to answer, and decisively performed the Flying Thunder God, returning to his residence from the ruins of the Whirlpool Clan.

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

Then, at the same time, he performed the Flying Thunder God Technique to leave the ruins of the Whirlpool Clan 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 more than ten minutes.

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

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 Roaring Style 3, Flying Thunder God Lightning Guide, Rasengan, Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique...

Except for not using the summoning technique to summon the toad and tailed beast jade of Myoboku Mountain, and the sealing technique that is not suitable for use in battle, the Fourth Hokage used all other ninjutsu.

Even so, he still failed to defeat Richard.

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

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

At noon the next day.

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

During the 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 thought the Fourth Hokage would be in the village.

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

After getting up and washing up, he did not hesitate to perform the Flying Thunder God Technique and came to the ruins of the Uzumaki clan and met the Fourth Hokage.

"Have you met Naruto?"

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

"I have met him. He has grown better than I thought."

"In addition to Naruto, I also went to see Jiraiya, Kakashi, and Tsunade."

The Fourth Hokage replied immediately.

"Did you tell them that I was the one who resurrected him?"

Richard continued to ask.

"No."

"But they can guess it even if I don't say it."

"According to what they said, there are only two people who can perform the Impure World Reincarnation now."

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

After that, the Fourth Hokage stood up and came to Richard.

"Thank you!"

The Fourth Hokage said to Richard with a serious face.

"Thank me?"

"Did you make a mistake? I just wanted to get the Yin Nine-Tails in your body when I resurrected you."

Richard said slowly.

"Although your goal is the Yin Nine-Tails in my body, I still thank you very much."

"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."

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

The Fourth Hokage said very sincerely.

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

"You are also a very interesting person."

"Besides, I don't think you are 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 simple thing 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: "Do you have anyone else you want to see?"

"If not, I will cancel the Impure World Reincarnation now and give you freedom."

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

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

Although the Fourth Hokage has not said what it is, Richard has guessed what he wants to say.

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

"What is it?"

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 away the Yang Nine-Tails in his body while keeping Naruto alive."

"I can't stop you from taking away the Yang Nine-Tails in his body, but as a father, I hope he can live well."

The Fourth Hokage looked at Richard seriously and said to Richard 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 said slowly.

Although this meant that he needed to think of a better way to keep Naruto alive, it was not a particularly difficult thing.

Outer Path·Reincarnation Technique and Forbidden Technique·Self-Reincarnation Technique can both bring the dead back to life.

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

"Thank you!"

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

Richard said nothing more and prepared to cancel the Impure World Reincarnation and let the Fourth Hokage's soul 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 to Jiraiya to get it."

"Okay!"

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

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

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

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

After taking a look at the body of White Zetsu in front of him, Richard did not hesitate and immediately cast the Great Flame, summoning a ball of high-temperature flames, burning the body of White Zetsu into ashes.

Then, he cast Flying Thunder God to leave the ruins of the Whirlpool Clan and return 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 today.

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

Not long after, he arrived at the office.

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