Chapter 212 Itachi's final goal

If it was someone else who told her this now, not Richard, Tsunade would definitely think that the other person was bragging.

Mei Terumi is the fifth Mizukage of Kirigakure.

Although she is thirty years old now, she is still an absolute beauty.

In addition to her beautiful appearance and hot body, her strength and status are also not to be underestimated.

In other words, if Mei Terumi is looking for a marriage partner, the Kirigakure ninjas and people of the Land of Water who want to marry her can line up directly from the Mizukage Building in the center of the village to the gate of Kirigakure.

If she had no other conditions, such as not restricting the man to be from Kirigakure or Land of Water, the number of people queuing could be multiplied several times.

But now it was Richard who said this.

Although Richard did not have three wives and four concubines in Konoha, and even the three female assistants in the office did not do anything, Tsunade knew that Richard's lust was not inferior to Jiraiya.

The reason why he did not have three wives and four concubines in Konoha was nothing more than that there were not many women who could interest him.

Tsunade didn't know what to say for a moment, and frowned at Richard.

After several years of contact, she didn't have no good feelings for Richard.

But the problem was that she always felt that the age gap between her and Richard was too big.

If Richard was her age, or if she was 20 or 30 years younger, she wouldn't mind further developing with Richard and turning their relationship from opposite-sex friends into lovers.

"I don't know how you convinced Mei Terumi to be your secret lover, but I will never be your secret lover, so give up on this idea."

After nearly a minute of silence, Tsunade said to Richard.

"If this is your final decision, then I respect your decision."

Richard replied.

He did not deny that he had a great interest in Tsunade, but he didn't mind forcing Tsunade to be with him.

Playing poker is something that both parties are willing to do and it's interesting.

Otherwise, it's not playing poker, but a despicable act of breaking the law and committing a crime.

Richard never thought he was a good person, but he also had his own principles.

For example, don't touch minors, don't force women, etc.

After hearing Richard's answer, Tsunade didn't say anything else and nodded.

More than ten minutes later, they finished their dinner, paid the bill and left the restaurant.

"I'll go back first, you should go back and rest early."

Tsunade said to Richard.

"Okay."

Richard replied.

That's what he said, but he didn't use his flying ability or Flying Thunder God to return to his residence, but turned and walked towards the Kabukicho area.

Uh...

After seeing Richard heading straight to the Kabukicho area, Tsunade immediately showed an unhappy expression.

After taking a few deep breaths, she mobilized her chakra, performed the instant body technique and came to Richard, stopping him.

"This is not the direction you go home."

Tsunade said quickly.

"I know, I plan to go to the Kabukicho area to find a nightclub to soothe my wounded heart."

Richard replied casually.

Soothe a wounded heart?

After hearing his answer, Tsunade immediately rolled her eyes at him and continued, "Your heart is not that fragile."

As soon as Tsunade finished speaking, Richard's voice rang out.

"No, you guessed wrong. My heart is still quite fragile at certain times, such as tonight."

Richard said slowly.

That's what he said, but he was not sad at this time, just a little bit lost.

Although Tsunade was not the only reason for him to stay in Konoha, it was also a very important factor for him to stay in Konoha willingly.

Looking at Richard in front of her, Tsunade frowned and fell silent.

After more than ten seconds, she said, "Come with me!"

"Where to go?"

Richard asked.

"Don't ask so many questions, just come when you are asked."

After speaking, without waiting for Richard to answer, Tsunade jumped onto the roof next to her and moved quickly on the roof.

When Tsunade left a distance, Richard used his flying ability and followed Tsunade slowly.

After walking for more than 20 minutes, Tsunade stopped.

When Tsunade stopped, Richard landed next to her.

Although Tsunade didn't say where she was going, he had guessed where she was going.

Not far in front of them was the famous "Honma Onsen" in Konoha.

"Have you changed your mind?"

Richard asked before Tsunade could speak.

Tsunade didn't answer him, but performed a transformation in front of him, turning into a look Richard had never seen before.

After performing the transformation, Tsunade continued, "Since you want to take a hot spring bath, I'll accompany you once. You also perform a transformation to avoid attracting other people's attention."

Although he didn't know why Tsunade suddenly changed her mind, Richard didn't ask stupidly and performed the transformation directly.

Under Tsunade's gaze, he turned into a man in his early twenties with black hair and an ordinary appearance.

After he performed the transformation, Tsunade jumped off the roof first.

Richard jumped down without any hesitation and followed Tsunade.

Then, the two walked towards "Honma Onsen" together.

As one of the most famous hot springs in Konoha, Honma Onsen is very lively whether it is day or night.

Richard and Tsunade, who had performed the transformation, came to the lobby like a real couple and asked the waiter for a couple's suite.

The so-called couple's suite is actually a hot spring room with a separate dressing room and rest area.

When opening this couple's suite, Richard and Tsunade did not use the coupon.

Although using the coupon can save a lot, neither of them is short of money.

The waiter in kimono took them to the couple's suite and left, gently closing the door of the suite.

"Do you want to cancel the transformation?"

When only Tsunade and himself were left in the suite, Richard spoke.

"Whatever you want."

Tsunade replied.

"I'm not used to using the transformation to soak in the hot spring."

As soon as he finished speaking, Richard canceled his transformation.

Tsunade hesitated for a few seconds, and finally canceled the transformation, returning to her original appearance.

After canceling the transformation, Tsunade seemed to have finally made up her mind and walked straight to the locker room.

Richard did not follow Tsunade to the locker room.

When Tsunade changed her clothes and came out wrapped in a bath towel, he went into the locker room.

When he changed his clothes and came to the open-air hot spring outside the room, Tsunade was already in the hot spring, and she put the bath towel aside.

Richard entered the hot spring without any hesitation and sat down next to Tsunade.

Then, the atmosphere became awkward.

Although Richard had rich experience in playing poker, he still didn't know how to break the awkwardness at this time.

Just looking at the surface, no matter what he did next, Tsunade would not object.

But his intuition told him that if he messed around in the hot spring, Tsunade would definitely not mind letting him experience what the strange power of the Senju clan was.

After thinking about it, he dispelled those thoughts that were not suitable for children in his mind and concentrated on soaking in the hot spring.

Time passed little by little.

More than an hour later, Richard and Tsunade performed the transformation technique again and left Honma Hot Springs.

After coming out of Honma Hot Springs, Richard did not return to his residence near the Uchiha territory, nor did he go to the Kabukicho area, but came to Tsunade's residence.

At the beginning of the hot spring, the atmosphere was indeed a little awkward.

But as time went by, the awkward atmosphere disappeared.

Not only that, his relationship with Tsunade had improved significantly in the past hour.

However, they still did not do anything inappropriate for children in the hot spring.

As for why, on the one hand, it was because Tsunade was a little embarrassed, and on the other hand, it was because Tsunade agreed to let Richard stay at her house tonight.

Not long after returning to Tsunade's residence, they began a blushing and heart-pounding in-depth exchange.

At nine o'clock the next morning.

Tsunade went out on time to the Hokage's office.

As for Richard.

He performed Flying Thunder God and returned to his residence.

...

Two days later.

The hall of the secret base of the Uchiha clan.

Uchiha Itachi sat on the only stone chair in the hall, and Sasuke stood at the entrance of the hall.

Whether it was Itachi or Sasuke, they were now like sculptures with their eyes closed and motionless.

At this time, they were competing in illusion.

This situation had to continue until the result of the illusion was determined.

Although Richard has the Samsara Eye and the Samsara Eye, he still has no way of knowing what kind of illusion competition Itachi and Sasuke are doing.

In addition to Richard, there are "two" spectators in the hall.

One of them is Itachi's team member in the Akatsuki organization, Kisame.

The other is the "Ze" formed by the fusion of Black Zetsu and White Zetsu.

Like Richard, they don't know what kind of illusion competition Itachi and Sasuke are doing.

However, they don't think Itachi will lose to Sasuke in illusion.

It's normal for them to have such thoughts.

After all, Itachi is the leading illusion master in the Naruto world, and he also has the Mangekyō Sharingan and Tsukuyomi.

If he can't beat Sasuke who only has the three-magatama Sharingan, it can only mean that he let him win.

In fact, Itachi did let him win.

In the original work, Sasuke relied on his own strength to unlock Itachi's Tsukuyomi.

But in fact, this was all deliberately arranged by Itachi.

Although Itachi's eyesight has now declined to the point of almost blindness, and his physical condition is not good.

But if he was serious, he could easily defeat Sasuke the moment Sasuke was hit by Tsukuyomi.

Everything in the Tsukuyomi world is controlled by Itachi.

If Itachi wanted, he could let Sasuke experience what Kakashi felt at that time.

In other words, Itachi is not competing with Sasuke in illusion at all, but checking how far Sasuke's illusion level has reached.

While Itachi was nominally having a final brotherly duel with Sasuke, but actually using his life to help Sasuke go further, Richard was recalling the wonderful nights he spent at Tsunade's house.

Although Tsunade did not verbally agree to be his secret lover, in fact, Tsunade still became his secret lover.

Richard spent these nights at Tsunade's house.

If there is anything wrong, it is that Tsunade has little experience and is a complete rookie.

However, Tsunade's learning ability is very good.

After only a few days, Tsunade went from a complete rookie to a skilled master.

A few minutes later.

The illusion "duel" between Itachi and Sasuke ended with Itachi's left eye bleeding.

When the illusion "duel" ended, Itachi immediately "checked" Sasuke's physical and ninjutsu.

Unlike the illusion competition, where no one except the two of them could know the specific process, their physical and ninjutsu competition was very clear.

Their physical and ninjutsu competition was similar to what Richard remembered.

Face-to-face physical competition, shuriken skills competition, attack and defense between different ninjutsu, etc.

Chidori, Chidori Sharp Spear, Chidori Style, Great Fireball Jutsu, Great Dragon Fire Jutsu, Shuriken Jutsu, Great Snake Style Substitution Jutsu, etc. were used by Sasuke one after another.

Compared with Sasuke, Itachi used much fewer ninjutsu.

In addition to the Uchiha clan's fire escape, he only used Amaterasu and Crow Clone Jutsu.

As for other ninjutsu, he didn't use them.

In addition, he did not use the Susanoo that he had saved.

After fighting for more than ten minutes, Sasuke finally made all the preparations for the S-level ninjutsu, Lightning Release Kirin.

Unlike the ninjutsu of the Chidori series, although Lightning Release Kirin is an S-level ninjutsu, it does not consume much chakra, and mainly uses the lightning of nature.

In addition to the low chakra consumption, Lightning Release Kirin also has the advantages of high attack power, wide range, and speed that is almost impossible to avoid.

After making all the preparations for the use of Lightning Release Kirin, Sasuke immediately used Lightning Release Kirin without any hesitation, and the lightning that seemed to be a world-destroying natural disaster fell from the sky and attacked Itachi at a high speed.

Boom!

The Lightning Release Kirin used by Sasuke not only successfully hit Itachi, but also turned the secret base of the Uchiha clan into collapsed ruins.

Richard, Kisame, and Zetsu, who were watching the battle on the side, were also affected.

However, those who were affected were not seriously injured.

Richard's physical attributes have now reached an incredible and amazing level.

Not to mention being affected by the Lightning Release Kirin.

Even if he was hit head-on, he would not be injured.

As for Kisame and Zetsu.

Zetsu sank directly into the ground and avoided the lightning.

Kisame blocked Samehada in front of him, turning Samehada into a lightning rod.

In the original comic, Sasuke successfully injured Itachi with the Lightning Release Kirin.

But here, Itachi was not seriously injured.

At the same time as Sasuke performed the Lightning Release Kirin, Itachi performed Susanoo.

Although the speed of the Lightning Release Kirin was very fast, he did not have time to perform the third form of Susanoo.

But even the first form with only a skeleton has very good defense.

Although it failed to completely block the Kirin cast by Sasuke, it also blocked most of the power of the Kirin.

After seeing Itachi perform Susanoo, Sasuke's expression became extremely ugly.

Kirin is his biggest trump card.

If Kirin can't defeat Itachi, he can't think of any other means to defeat Richard.

Under Sasuke's gaze, Itachi continued to use Susanoo, allowing Susanoo to enter the third form with Karasu Tengu armor.

Just when Sasuke thought Itachi was going to use Susanoo to end his life and take away his Sharingan, Itachi gave him a familiar smile.

Then, he turned around and walked towards Richard.

It's true!

After seeing Itachi walking towards him with Susanoo, Richard first complained in his heart.

Then, he took out the more than two-meter-long authentic Yan Mo Dao from the system space.

Unlike the original comics, Sasuke in this world has never been given a curse seal by Orochimaru from beginning to end, which also caused Itachi's ultimate goal to change from destroying Orochimaru to destroying Richard.

From Itachi's point of view, Richard is the bad guy who "led" Sasuke astray.

Although it was unlikely that he would survive, he planned to get rid of Richard before he died to prevent him from continuing to influence Sasuke.
