Chapter 211 Secret Lover
Living room on the first floor.
Richard looked at Sasuke who was sitting opposite him and said slowly: "I just went to see Orochimaru at noon. He said that you went to practice with members of the Akatsuki organization."
"That was originally the plan, but the people of the Akatsuki organization have disappeared now."
Sasuke, with his chest exposed, replied immediately.
"Because you can't find anyone from the Akatsuki organization, you came to Konoha to find me?"
Richard continued to ask.
"Yes, it has been ten months since we last met."
"In addition, I have been away from Konoha for almost four years, so I plan to come back to see if Konoha is still the same as I remember."
Sasuke said slowly.
That's what he said, but Richard didn't think he ran back just to see if there were any changes in Konoha.
If nothing unexpected happened, Sasuke should have gone to the territory of the Uchiha clan first, browsed the information in the stone tablet of the Nanga Shrine with the Sharingan, and then came to his door.
As for whether Sasuke went to see Naruto and Sakura, Richard felt that the possibility was not high.
Although Sasuke and Naruto were classmates and were assigned to Team 7, Sasuke was not so upset that Naruto and Sakura revealed that they had returned to Konoha.
"If I'm not mistaken, you came back mainly for the stone tablet in Nanga Shrine."
"Although you opened the Sharingan a long time ago, until you left the village, your pupil power could only allow you to browse a small part of the content."
"You came back this time mainly to get more information about the Mangekyō Sharingan from the stone tablet."
Richard said to Sasuke.
After hearing his words, Sasuke did not hesitate at all and quickly said: "You guessed right, I did go to Nanga Shrine and read the stone tablet left by the Uchiha ancestors."
"Compared to four years ago, my pupil power has improved a lot, but I still can't see much."
Richard was not surprised at all that Sasuke couldn't see all the contents on the stone tablet.
To browse all the contents on the stone tablet, pupil power is only one aspect.
More importantly, whether the Sharingan has been upgraded.
Only when the Sharingan evolves into the Eternal Mangekyō can you see the complete contents on the stone tablet.
Or, to say, see the complete contents tampered by Black Zetsu.
After looking at Sasuke, Richard said slowly: "You don't have to think of other ideas. If you want to open the Mangekyō, you can only experience the pain of losing your loved ones."
"In other words, if you want to open the Mangekyō Sharingan, you can only kill Uchiha Itachi with your own hands."
"This also means that you can't open the Mangekyō Sharingan before completing your revenge with your own hands."
Although Sasuke didn't say it clearly, Richard quickly guessed why Sasuke went to Nanga Shrine to see the stone tablet.
For Sasuke now, the most important thing is to complete the revenge with his own hands.
In order to ensure that he can complete his revenge 100%, it is normal for him to want to open the Mangekyō Sharingan before revenge.
Otherwise, his Sharingan will always be suppressed by Itachi.
"I've been mentally prepared for what you said."
"Let's not talk about that. I came to Konoha to find you mainly to ask you if you know the whereabouts of Itachi."
"After taking away the Eight-Tails, they completely disappeared."
"I used Orochimaru's intelligence network to search for a long time, but I couldn't find their specific whereabouts."
Sasuke looked at Richard and said seriously.
"I'm not sure where Uchiha Itachi is now."
"However, I have a way to contact him and let you two have a life-and-death battle."
Richard said to Sasuke.
"Can you contact him?"
Sasuke looked at Richard with surprise.
"Yes, I have a way to contact him."
After saying that, Richard took off the ring "Jade" on his left hand and continued, "Just use this thing."
"This ring is not only a symbol of a formal member of the Akatsuki organization, but also has the function of contacting other people and transmitting chakra."
"However, only people with the Samsara Eye can activate this effect of the ring."
Sasuke looked at the ring "Jade" in Richard's hand, frowned and said, "This is not the one that Orochimaru belongs to, right?"
"No, Orochimaru's is this one."
As soon as the voice fell, Richard took out the ring "Kong" that originally belonged to Orochimaru from the system space and threw it to Sasuke.
Sasuke took the ring thrown by Richard without any hesitation.
"Put it on, and I will let you meet Itachi right away."
Richard said to Sasuke.
"Okay."
Sasuke immediately replied and put the ring "Kong" on the ring finger of his right hand.
After Sasuke put on the ring, Richard opened his Samsara Eye, mobilized the chakra in his body, and sent the chakra into the ring in his hand to sense the existence of other rings.
Without much effort, he sensed the ring "Zhu" owned by Itachi.
Richard thought Itachi would be in other countries.
Unexpectedly, Itachi was in the Land of Fire.
To be precise, it was in the secret base of the Uchiha clan in the Land of Fire.
After sensing Itachi's location, Richard used the connection between the ring "Jade" and the ring "Zhu" to send Itachi a message similar to mental communication.
"I am Richard, Sasuke is here with me, and I am ready to take revenge on you."
"If you want to see him, release your chakra and convert it into "thought waves". I will use the illusion body technique to let you meet."
Richard's voice appeared in Itachi's mind out of thin air.
At first, Itachi thought it was Pein who contacted him.
He never thought that Richard could use the ring to contact him from a distance like Pein, and mastered the illusion body technique.
Although it was a bit unexpected, Itachi responded quickly.
He did not reply to Richard with words, but sat on a chair in the lobby of the base, released chakra, and converted it into "thought waves".
After sensing Itachi's thought waves, Richard did not hesitate and immediately performed the illusion body technique.
He originally planned to let Itachi and Sasuke meet in the Uchiha clan's territory in the form of illusions at the same time.
But after thinking about it, he decided to display the illusion in the living room.
As for the reason, it was very simple.
He didn't want to waste time teaching Sasuke how to convert chakra into thought waves.
Although it is not complicated to convert chakra into thought waves, it takes at least half an hour to learn this technique.
Sasuke didn't know what Richard did, he only sensed that Richard mobilized chakra.
Just as he looked at Richard in confusion, Itachi's phantom appeared in the living room.
Although the phantom was different from the clone, Sasuke recognized it as Itachi the moment it appeared.
The phantom looked exactly like Itachi.
Although the skin color and hair were pure black, only the clothes on his body had rainbow-like bright patterns, but Itachi's Sharingan was perfectly displayed.
After seeing Itachi's phantom, Sasuke, who was originally sitting on the sofa, stood up immediately.
"Calm down, this is just his phantom."
Richard said to Sasuke.
After hearing his words, Sasuke sat down again.
Neither Itachi nor Sasuke took the initiative to speak, staring at each other.
After nearly half a minute of silence, Sasuke said to Itachi's phantom: "Time and place!"
As soon as Sasuke finished speaking, Itachi's voice rang out.
"Three days later, the family's secret base in the southern part of the Land of Fire."
After saying that, before Sasuke could continue speaking, Itachi stopped releasing the thought wave and lifted the illusion.
When Itachi's illusion disappeared, Sasuke first returned the ring "Ku" to Richard, and then said: "Do you want to go with me and witness my revenge with your own eyes?"
"Of course!"
Richard put the ring "Ku" and the ring "Jade" back into the system space together, and said slowly.
"Then we will set off in two days."
Sasuke said to Richard.
"No, you go first, I will go in three days."
Richard took out a Flying Thunder God Kunai made of vibranium from the system space and threw it to Sasuke.
"I will use Flying Thunder God when the time comes."
Richard said to Sasuke.
Sasuke put away the Flying Thunder God Kunai made of vibranium, nodded, stood up, bowed slightly to Richard, and left Richard's house.
After Sasuke left, Richard also used Flying Thunder God to leave his residence and came to the Hokage's office.
In the evening.
In a restaurant in the commercial district of the village, Richard and Tsunade enjoyed dinner together.
"How come you have time to invite me to dinner tonight?"
Tsunade asked Richard.
"It's because you assigned a task to Xi Yan."
"Xi Yan just came back two days ago, and you assigned her another task today, so I have to eat dinner alone recently."
Richard replied.
After hearing his answer, Tsunade smiled and said, "Don't make it sound like you're lonely. If you want to find someone to have dinner with you, there are many female ninjas in the village who are willing to do so."
"Besides, the three female assistants in your office are happy to have dinner with you."
Richard shook his head and continued, "Forget about Yui and the others. It's better to separate work and life, otherwise it will be very troublesome."
Here, he paused, put down the chopsticks in his hand, and said seriously, "Speaking of this, Yui gave me a few hot spring coupons two days ago, saying that there would be discounts if we go together."
After that, he took out the coupons from the system space and handed them to Tsunade.
Tsunade didn't think much about it and took the coupons he handed over.
However, after seeing the content on the coupons, she immediately frowned.
"Are you tired of living?"
Tsunade rolled her eyes at Richard and said quickly.
"Of course not, I'm just inviting you to go to the hot springs with me."
"If you don't want to go with me, you can go with Jiraiya."
Richard looked at Tsunade and replied quickly.
What he gave Tsunade was indeed a hot spring coupon, and it was not a coupon for an ordinary hot spring, but a coupon for the famous hot spring "Honma Onsen" in Konoha.
If there is any problem, it is that this coupon is more suitable for couples.
"It seems that you are really tired of living. You dare to joke with me."
After saying that, Tsunade raised her hands and prepared to tear off the coupon in her hand.
"I'm not kidding, I'm serious."
Just when Tsunade was about to tear off the coupon, Richard's voice rang out.
After hearing his words, Tsunade stopped moving.
After a few seconds, she put down the coupon again, looked at Richard seriously, and said with a serious expression: "We are not suitable."
"Why is it inappropriate? I am a man, you are a woman, and we are not married."
Richard replied.
"You already have a girlfriend!"
Tsunade said immediately.
"I do have a girlfriend, but I have discussed this issue with Xiyan and she doesn't mind."
As soon as Richard finished speaking, Tsunade showed an unexpected expression.
"Did you tell Xi Yan that you like me?"
Tsunade looked at Richard in disbelief.
"Yes, I told her."
As soon as Richard finished speaking, he felt the strong aura exuded by Tsunade.
At the same time, Tsunade released chakra that was visible to the naked eye.
Fortunately, they were in the private room now and not in the hall. Otherwise, Tsunade would definitely attract the attention of all the guests in the hall.
After taking a few deep breaths to calm down, Tsunade took back the released aura and chakra.
"When we first returned to the village, Jiraiya told me that you were a lecherous little guy."
"Now it seems that you are not only lustful, you are also a lunatic."
Tsunade said to Richard.
Although each country in the Naruto world does not explicitly stipulate monogamy, except for a very small number of people, such as the daimyo of each country, everyone else will acquiesce in the rule of monogamy.
"It is men's nature to be lustful, and the genes for not being lustful have been eliminated in the process of biological evolution."
Richard said slowly.
Of course he knew that what he did tonight was a little too direct.
But he didn't want to drag it out any longer.
It had been almost four years since he and Tsunade first met.
Looking at Richard in front of her, Tsunade sighed helplessly.
"If I were twenty or thirty years younger, I would seriously consider it."
"But now, I wouldn't think so."
"I don't want to be said that the Fifth Hokage is shameless and eats young grass in his old age."
"If I really get together with you, not only will you and I be criticized, but people outside will also look down on Konoha."
"Hokage represents the face of Konoha, you should know this very well."
Tsunade tried to persuade Richard to give up the idea.
However, as soon as she finished speaking, Richard gave her an answer that was completely beyond her expectations.
"Since you're worried about this, just don't let others know."
"Speaking of which, an affair is indeed more exciting than an honest relationship."
What?
Tsunade looked at Richard with surprise.
If she hadn't been Richard's opponent, she would have really wanted to use her fists and force to tell Richard not to have such strange thoughts.
Just when Tsunade was about to continue saying something, Richard calmly revealed a piece of bombshell news that she had never known.
"The Fifth Mizukage Terumi Mei is also my secret lover."
After hearing what Richard said, Tsunade's expression suddenly became extremely strange.
After a few seconds, she finally said: "How could she agree to such a thing? She is the Fifth Mizukage."
"This is nothing strange. Not many people in Kirigakure Village know about this."
"And outside Kirigakure Village, you are the second one."
Richard continued.
