"Before closing the store this afternoon, someone saw Uchiha Sasuke also buying a long sword in Richard's Ninja Tool Shop."

"If nothing unexpected happens, there should be eighteen pieces left."

"Among them, there are sixteen kunai and two short swords."

The ANBU ninja wearing a cow mask replied quickly.

"Arrange a few people tomorrow and buy some short swords and kunai."

The Third Hokage said slowly.

For ordinary people, the ninja tools in Richard's store are indeed very expensive.

But for the Third Hokage, this amount of money is nothing.

As Hokage, he could mobilize astronomical amounts of funds.

Spending tens of millions of taels to buy some things was nothing to him.

Of course, the ownership of things purchased with village funds will belong to the village and will not become his personal property.

However, it didn't make much difference to him.

The things purchased with village funds did not nominally belong to him.

But he can use it anytime he wants.

"Okay, Hokage-sama."

The ANBU ninja replied quickly.

"There is nothing else to do. Return this long sword to Mao Yue Xi Yan."

The Third Hokage said slowly.

The ANBU ninja nodded, picked up the vibranium katana, and left the Hokage's office.

The next afternoon.

Anbu ninja disguised as a customer came to Richard's ninja tool shop, and while acting in front of him, he bought three vibranium kunai and a vibranium dagger.

At the beginning, Richard thought that his ninja tool shop was starting to become famous.

But soon, he found that he was thinking too much.

After using his super vision to observe the "customers" who appeared to have no problems, he saw the symbols of the Anbu on them.

If only one "customer" had the ANBU mark on him, it could be considered a coincidence.

All the "customers" have the symbol of the Anbu on them, and you can easily guess what that means.

Although they were not real customers, Richard still sold them the vibranium kunai and vibranium dagger.

The customers are fake, but the money is real.

Chapter 171 The Art of Flying Thunder God

When the Anbu ninja disguised as a customer left the store, Richard continued to develop the Rasengan.

Although the store is not particularly large, he does not need to test the power of the new balls in the store, nor does he need to worry about any accidents during the development process.

time flies.

Soon, it was five o'clock in the afternoon.

Apart from the customers disguised as Anbu ninjas, the store did not welcome any other customers today.

But this is also a good thing for Richard.

He had never expected this store to bring him much wealth.

The reason for opening this store is just to give myself a legal identity that can be seen through the lens.

After closing the store, he did not go to Ichiraku Ramen for dinner, but instead planned to try other delicacies in Konoha.

After asking a passerby he met, he decided to eat tempura and skewers tonight.

Nine p.m.

The forest near the Uchiha clan's territory.

Richard started tonight's special training for Sasuke.

Even though Sasuke had been doing D- and C-rank missions for a day, D- and C-rank missions didn't take much effort.

As long as they are not those particularly outrageous D-level and C-level tasks, these two levels of tasks are quite simple.

Otherwise, these tasks would not be assigned to the Genin.

From a certain perspective, these missions are for Genin to practice.

If a newly graduated Genin is asked to carry out a B-rank or higher mission that requires combat with the enemy, nine out of ten Genin will not be able to come back alive.

Just like last night, Richard finished tonight's special training by giving Sasuke special training in the forest for an hour.

However, he did not go home immediately. Instead, he came to Sasuke who was sitting on the ground to rest and asked him, "Have you been notified by Kakashi to participate in the Chunin Exam?"

Chuunin exam?

Sasuke looked at Richard in confusion.

Although Sasuke didn't answer him, he could tell from the confused expression on his face that he didn't.

"I received news that Konoha will be holding a new Chunin Exam soon."

Richard said to Sasuke.

Although Sasuke and his friends have just graduated, the Chunin Exam is held twice a year.

If you're lucky, you'll only have to be a Genin for a short period of time.

The Chunin Exam was not established when Konoha was first established, but was founded by the Second Hokage, Tobirama.

Although it is only an exam for Genin to be promoted to Chunin, many times, the Chunin exam becomes an important occasion for allied countries to observe each other's strength.

In other words, in addition to the Genin from their own village, there will also be Genin from other allied hidden villages participating in the Chunin Exam.

If Richard remembered correctly, there were six villages participating in the next Chunin Exam, with a total of about 150 people.

In addition to Konoha and Sand Village, there are also Genin from Sound Village, Rain Village, Takigakure Village, and Kusagakure Village.

Although there are six villages participating, because Konoha is the host of this Chunin Exam, Konoha's Genin accounts for more than half of the total number, with more than 80 people.

There are indeed quite a few Genin taking part in the Chunin Exam this time.

However, due to Orochimaru's plan to collapse Konoha, only Shikamaru advanced to the Chunin level in this Chunin exam, making it the exam with the fewest number of promoted people in history.

"Are you interested in the Chunin Exams?"

Sasuke stood up and asked Richard.

"Of course!"

"This is a Chunin Exam that several villages are participating in together."

Richard replied.

Although he already knew that there would be accidents in this Chunin Exam, he did not intend to remind Konoha.

He does live in Konoha now, but he is not from Konoha.

In addition, compared to the Third Hokage surviving, he would rather the Third Hokage die at the hands of Orochimaru as in the plot.

Apart from anything else, if the Third Hokage had not died, Tsunade would not have returned to the village to serve as the Fifth Hokage.

He would prefer Konoha's Hokage to be a young and sexy looking blonde rather than a lecherous old man.

Although Tsunade is not young anymore.

But no matter what, Tsunade is much more pleasing to the eye than the Third Hokage.

In addition, he had the feeling more than once in the past few days that someone was secretly spying on him.

At first, he thought it was another Anbu ninja who was secretly monitoring him.

But after using his super vision and super hearing to observe the surroundings, he did not find any Anbu ninja.

Since he is not a ninja from the Anbu, it can only be that the Third Hokage used the telescope technique on him.

To confirm this, when he once again felt that he was being spied on last night, he deliberately used his super vision to take a look at the Hokage's office.

Just as he guessed, the Third Hokage used the telescope technique to observe his special training of Sasuke.

Just half an hour ago, he again had the feeling that he was being spied on and once again used his super vision to confirm it.

His intuition was correct; the Third Hokage had indeed used the telescope technique again.

However, the Third Hokage did not see the entire process to the end this time, and only performed the telescope technique for a few minutes.

After hearing Richard's answer, Sasuke said: "Although you are from the village, with your strength, you can definitely serve as an elite jonin in the village."

"Have you ever thought about joining the village and becoming a ninja of Konoha?"

Unlike Naruto, who always believed that Richard was a spy sent by another village, Sasuke never thought that Richard was a spy.

As for the reason, it's simple.

Richard is too high-profile.

Although Richard did not do anything particularly shocking, compared with spies, his behavior was extremely high-profile.

In addition, Sasuke can be 100% sure that Kakashi must have reported everything about the Land of Waves.

In other words, the Third Hokage must have known that Richard had once stopped Kakashi from killing Zabuza in the Land of Waves.

Besides, Richard's contact with him and special training for him were not things a spy would do.

As the only remaining Uchiha member in Konoha, anyone who comes into contact with him will attract the attention of the village.

If Richard was really a spy sent by another village, Richard would never give him any special training.

"Become a ninja of Konoha?"

"Maybe I'll think about it later, but right now, I don't have any such thoughts."

Richard replied calmly.

With his strength, he can indeed easily join Konoha and become an elite jonin in Konoha.

But at the same time, because of his unknown background, no matter how great his contribution is, he will not be trusted by the village's top leaders.

On the surface, Konoha is indeed very open-minded.

But in fact, Konoha pays great attention to bloodline and master-disciple inheritance relationship.

The First Hokage and the Second Hokage are brothers.

The Third Hokage was a student of the Second Hokage, and was a member of the large Sarutobi clan.

The Fourth Hokage had the most ordinary background, but he was Jiraiya's student, which made him the apprentice of the Third Hokage.

As for the Fifth Hokage Tsunade, needless to say, she is the granddaughter of the First Hokage.

Kakashi, the Sixth Hokage, was a student of the Fourth Hokage.

The Seventh Hokage, Naruto, is Kakashi's student and the son of the Fourth Hokage.

Those who can become Hokage in Konoha are either from a big family or have a master-disciple relationship with the previous Hokage.

Not to mention outsiders of unknown origin, even the native Konoha people.

As long as you don't come from a big family and have a teacher with a strong background, you will never be able to sit on the position of Hokage.

Of course, if you have the power to kill all other opponents, that would be another matter.

As long as you are strong enough, it doesn’t matter whether you have a good background or not.

After hearing Richard's answer, Sasuke did not continue the topic and said to him: "If there is nothing else, I will go back first."

"it is good!"

Richard nodded.
