Chapter 210 Brotherly Showdown

Going to Cloud Hidden Village?

Richard looked at Tsunade with surprise.

Although Tsunade didn't say what it was, he quickly had a guess.

"Did Yunyin Village ask for help?"

Richard asked Tsunade.

After hearing his inquiry, Tsunade responded without any hesitation: "Yes, the Fourth Raikage sent someone here to ask for help. I hope you can go to Kumogakure Village to help them deal with the Akatsuki organization."

Cloud Hidden Village and Konoha are not allies.

However, this does not mean that the Fourth Raikage will not send people to ask for help.

Although it was a bit embarrassing to do so, it was better to be embarrassed than to lose the Eight-Tails.

"I'm not interested. Let them find their own way to deal with the Akatsuki organization."

Richard replied.

The second tail of Yunyin Village was taken away by the Akatsuki organization a few months ago.

Although the Eight-Tails has not been taken away yet, it is still a matter of time.

With the current strength of Yunyin Village, there is no way it can withstand the attack of the Akatsuki organization.

"The Fourth Raikage guessed that you would not agree immediately, so he made a very generous offer."

"As long as you are willing to go and help, you can choose any ninjutsu in Yunyin Village."

"Whether it's the Thunder Escape Chakra Mode, the strongest Thunder Escape Armor, or Hell's Thrust·Four Pen Hands, as long as you want it, he can give it to you."

Tsunade continued.

Although the conditions offered by the Fourth Raikage were very generous, Richard still did not intend to accept Yunyin Village's request for help.

Because both the three tails and the nine tails are in his hands, Obito can only collect up to seven tailed beasts now.

If he agreed to the Fourth Raikage's request for help and prevented the Akatsuki organization from seizing the Eight-Tails, Obito would probably not be able to become the Ten-Tails Jinchuuriki.

In the original manga, the Ten-Tails possesses all the chakra of the One to Seven Tails and part of the chakra of the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails, and is still in an incomplete form.

And now, because of him, the Ten-Tails can't even get part of the chakra of the Three-Tails and Nine-Tails.

Although the reward given by the Fourth Raikage was not low, Richard would not forget his true purpose.

"No matter what kind of compensation he offers, I have no interest in going there."

"However, I can give him a suggestion."

"The Eight-Tails and the others will definitely not be able to keep them, but Kirabi, the Eight-Tails Jinchuuriki, still has a chance to survive."

"If the Fourth Raikage doesn't want to watch Kirabi die at the hands of the Akatsuki organization, he can convey my suggestion to Kirabi."

"The Eight-Tails is different from other tailed beasts. It has the ability to survive after a jinchuriki loses himself."

"That's all I have to say. If you don't have anything else to do, I'll go back first."

Looking at Tsunade sitting behind the desk, Richard said calmly.

After hearing his answer, Tsunade sighed helplessly.

Although she didn't know why Richard was unwilling to go to Yunyin Village, one thing she was sure of was that Richard was planning something secretly.

This can be seen from the fact that he deliberately took out the Nine-Tails split in two from the Fourth Hokage and Naruto.

Compared to ordinary ninjas, jinchūriki are indeed very powerful.

But Tsunade didn't think Richard did this to become the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki.

Richard doesn't need to become a jinchuriki to improve his strength.

After more than ten seconds of silence, Tsunade said to Richard: "Since you don't want to, I won't force you. I will let someone tell the Fourth Raikage about your suggestion."

After saying that, Tsunade stood up and came to Richard.

"Have you had lunch?"

Richard said nothing and shook his head.

"Then let's come together, I invite you."

Tsunade continued.

"good."

Richard nodded.

After hearing his answer, Tsunade came to the office window and jumped out in front of him.

Without any hesitation, Richard used his flying superpower and followed Tsunade out of the Hokage's office.

Ten minutes later.

Richard and Tsunade came to a long-standing, small-scale Japanese restaurant with good dishes.

This is not the first time they have eaten at this restaurant.

A long time ago, Tsunade specially invited Richard to have dinner here.

According to Tsunade, this restaurant has been in business since she was a child.

Counting the time, it has been almost fifty years since it opened.

Although it has been in business for nearly half a century, the restaurant has never considered expansion or publicity.

Tsunade ate at this restaurant several times with the First Hokage when she was a child, and she really liked the tempura and takoyaki served in this restaurant.

After arriving at the restaurant with ease and choosing a seat by the window, Tsunade started ordering without even looking at the menu.

It's not much to look at, and the restaurant's menu has only added a few new items over the past few decades.

After placing the order, Tsunade asked Richard: "Can I ask you a question?"

"What do you want to ask?"

"Although we have a pretty good relationship now, I won't answer questions that are too personal."

Richard said with a smile.

"It's not a personal matter, I just want to know if you knew early on that the Akatsuki organization wanted to collect all the tailed beasts?"

Tsunade rolled her eyes at Richard before asking.

"Why do you think I knew this all along?"

Richard asked rhetorically.

"Isn't it obvious that during the time you lived in the Hidden Mist Village, you deliberately turned the Three-Tails into your own summoning beast, and then you extracted the Nine-Tails from the Fourth Hokage and Naruto."

"If someone else did this, it might be because they wanted to become a Jinchūriki and never gain stronger power."

"But you are obviously an exception."

"Let alone becoming a Jinchūriki, you rarely summon the Three-Tails."

"The only time you summoned the Three-Tails to fight was when you fought Jiraiya."

"Except for that time, I have never heard of you summoning the Three-Tails again."

Tsunade looked at Richard and said quickly.

Richard first took a sip of the hot tea in front of him, and then said slowly: "You guessed right, I did know that Akatsuki wanted to collect all the tailed beasts."

"Not only that, I also know why Akatsuki did this."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tsunade frowned and immediately asked: "Why does Akatsuki want to collect tailed beasts? Do they really want to conquer all countries with the power of tailed beasts?"

Richard did not answer Tsunade's question immediately, but sorted out his thoughts in his mind.

Under Tsunade's gaze, he slowly said: "Strictly speaking, their purpose is not to conquer the ninja world."

"Although most people in Akatsuki think so, it is not the case."

"It is not convenient for me to tell you what it is now."

Although it is no big deal to tell Tsunade about Obito's real purpose, doing so will lead to more problems.

"Don't say it if you don't want to."

Tsunade looked at Richard with some dissatisfaction.

"If nothing unexpected happens, you will soon know why Akatsuki did this. You just need to wait patiently."

Richard replied.

Although he is still not sure when Obito will get the Eight-Tails, he is sure of one thing, that is, Obito will not delay for too long.

In two months, it will be a year. In order to gain the power to compete with him, Obito will definitely become the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki within these two months.

Only by becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki can Obito have the qualifications to fight him head-on.

In addition, only by becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki can Obito have the opportunity to create an ideal world without war, eternal peace, and Rin is still alive.

After having lunch with Tsunade, Richard used Flying Thunder God to return to his residence.

A week later.

The news that Akatsuki took away the Eight-Tails spread throughout the ninja world.

After taking the Eight-Tails, the Akatsuki, which had been making a fuss for more than half a year, became quiet, as if it had disappeared.

After knowing that the Akatsuki successfully took away the Eight-Tails, Richard used Flying Thunder God to come to Orochimaru's secret base in the Land of Fields.

Orochimaru's secret base in the Land of Grass has been discovered and destroyed by Konoha.

However, unlike the original work, it was not the new Team 7 led by Yamato who found the secret base of the Land of Grass, but Jiraiya.

Jiraiya found Orochimaru and wanted to avenge the dead Third Hokage.

They were once companions, and they had an undoubted Kage-level battle in the Land of Grass.

In the end, both sides were injured.

If Richard had not happened to go to the Land of Grass, the grass on Jiraiya's grave would now be more than one meter high.

Although Orochimaru was also seriously injured by Jiraiya, he was different from Jiraiya and was not alone.

Sasuke, Kimimaro, and Kabuto Yakushi were also present at the time.

Just when Kimimaro and Kabuto Yakushi were about to finish off the seriously injured Jiraiya and completely kill him, Richard rushed over before they finished off, stopped them from finishing off, and saved Jiraiya.

Afterwards, Jiraiya lay in bed in Konoha Hospital for more than a month before he regained his mobility.

This was the result of Tsunade's personal treatment.

If it were any other medical ninja, Jiraiya could have gone to Huangquan to meet the Third Hokage.

As for Orochimaru.

Although Orochimaru has many more ways to save his life than Jiraiya.

But after being seriously injured by Jiraiya, he had to perform the Reincarnation of the Corpseless Reincarnation to change his body.

It is worth mentioning that the new container of Orochimaru's reincarnation is none other than Kimimaro.

The reason why Orochimaru adopted Kimimaro before was because he was attracted by Kimimaro's bloodline limit, the Corpse Bone Vein.

In the comics, he did not become the container of Orochimaru's reincarnation because he was seriously ill.

And Kimimaro in this world has always been very healthy and has no physical problems.

Regarding the fact that Orochimaru reincarnated into his body, Kimimaro not only did not resist, but also let Orochimaru reincarnate into his body with a happy face.

Although Orochimaru is a very typical villain, it must be said that he is a villain with great personal charm and can make his subordinates willingly sacrifice everything.

Tianzhiguo.

Orochimaru's secret base.

Richard saw Orochimaru, who was reincarnated into Kimimaro, but his appearance did not change at all in the reception room of the base.

"Where is Sasuke?"

Richard asked Orochimaru.

"He went to practice with the people of Akatsuki."

Orochimaru said slowly.

After hearing Orochimaru's answer, Richard frowned slightly.

He would use Flying Thunder God to take Sasuke to find Itachi and let them complete the final brotherly duel.

Unexpectedly, Sasuke actually went to practice with the people of Akatsuki alone.

"Who did he go to?"

Richard continued to ask.

"I don't know who he is looking for now, or in other words, I don't know who he can find in the Akatsuki organization."

Orochimaru replied casually.

Although he couldn't get Sasuke's body, he now doesn't have that much desire for the Uchiha clan's body.

To be precise, after knowing that the Mangekyo Sharingan could not avoid the fate of blindness, his desire for the Sharingan became much smaller.

At this time, Orochimaru did not know that as long as the Mangekyō Sharingan evolves to the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, he can use the power of the Sharingan without limit.

"Since you don't know, then I'll find someone who knows."

After saying that, Richard used Flying Thunder God to come to the Kingdom of Rain.

Although he met Sasuke ten months ago, he did not leave the Flying Thunder God Technique on Sasuke at that time.

Otherwise, he can now directly use Flying Thunder God to appear in front of Sasuke.

After identifying the direction, he immediately used his flying ability to fly towards Yuyin Village at high speed.

Soon, he came to Yuyin Village.

Yuyin Village is still the same as before, without any changes.

Floating above Yuyin Village, Richard used his super vision and looked for Nagato.

Without any effort, he found Nagato hidden underground in the Rain Hidden Village.

At this time, Nagato was not alone, Konan, known as the "angel", was also by his side.

In addition, Richard also saw the new Pain Six Paths next to Nagato.

Except for the Heavenly Path, which is still Yahiko, he doesn't know the other five paths.

After finding Nagato, Richard immediately flew towards the underground base where Nagato was located without any hesitation.

It didn't take long for him to arrive in front of Nagato.

Without waiting for Nagato to ask, he told him his purpose.

After hearing that he wanted to help find Sasuke, Nagato immediately frowned.

After more than ten seconds, he said: "I can ask them for you, but I can't guarantee that they know where Uchiha Sasuke is."

Richard didn't speak and nodded.

After seeing his response, Nagato mobilized chakra, activated the effect of the Akatsuki organization ring, and asked others if they had met Sasuke.

Soon, Nagato finished questioning everyone except Obito and Konan.

"None of them met Uchiha Sasuke."

Nagato said to Richard.

After hearing Nagato's answer, Richard frowned slightly.

Where did this kid go?

After complaining in his heart, Richard said to Nagato: "If you know his whereabouts, you can contact me through the ring. I have both Kong and Jade in my hands."

Richard said to Nagato.

"good!"

Nagato did not refuse and nodded.

Under the watchful eyes of Nagato and Konan, Richard used Flying Thunder God to leave the Hidden Rain Village and return to Konoha.

afternoon.

Richard was thinking about whether to invite Tsunade to dinner.

At this moment, he suddenly sensed Sasuke's chakra.

…
