The Mutant God in American Comics.

Once Sasuke left the forest, he used his flying ability and flew towards his new home.

……

time flies.

Before I knew it, a week had passed.

During this week, Richard, like before, did not do anything amazing in Konoha. He maintained his life of running a shop during the day and instructing Sasuke at night.

Five days ago, Konoha finally announced the news of holding the Chunin Exam.

Although the Chunin Exams are held twice a year, the time of each exam is not fixed.

With the announcement of the Chunin Exam, the already bustling village became even busier.

Although only a small number of Genin will take part in this Chunin Exam, for the village, the Chunin Exam is still a relatively grand "event".

Because every time the Chunin Exam is held, the village welcomes many tourists.

In addition to the locals of the Fire Nation, there will also be many tourists from other countries.

Of course, there would be Genin from other villages as well.

Although the village has become more lively than before, Richard's Ninja Tool Shop is still deserted.

After the customer disguised as an Anbu ninja came, he never sold any kunai or short swords again.

There were indeed some customers who came into the store, but after seeing the selling price, all of them left without looking back.

Although he didn't sell any more kunai and daggers, Richard didn't take it to heart at all.

Not only that, he also reduced the number of goods once again, leaving only three regular-style vibranium kunai and a vibranium dagger in the display case.

As for the rest, he collected them all.

From a businessman's perspective, he had indeed had a failed week.

But from a ninja's perspective, his gains this week were anything but careless.

Except for the Rasengan that requires fairy chakra and tailed beast chakra, he has mastered all other Rasengan, such as Wind Style Rasengan, Big Ball Rasengan, Super Big Ball Rasengan, Wind Style Rasenshuriken, etc.

Not only that, in addition to perfectly integrating the wind attribute chakra and lightning attribute chakra into the Rasengan, he also integrated the chakras of the three attributes of water, fire, and earth into the Rasengan.

The only pity is that he did not further develop ninjutsu with property-changing abilities like Wind Style: Rasenshuriken.

However, he was not particularly disappointed about this.

In just one week, he was able to master all the Rasengan except those requiring Senjutsu Chakra and Tailed Beast Chakra, and to integrate the five attributes of chakra - wind, lightning, water, fire, and earth - into the Rasengan. This was already an amazing achievement.

As for other things, such as developing an S-level ninjutsu like Wind Style: Rasenshuriken, it cannot be completed in just one week.

In the ninja tool shop.

Richard was lying on the recliner behind the counter, thinking about a question, that is, whether he should steal the Sealed Book.

Although in the comics, there are only five forbidden techniques recorded in the Book of Sealed Techniques: the Four Symbols Seal, the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, the Impure World Reincarnation, the Eight Gates Ninjutsu, and the Multiplying Explosive Talisman.

But such a large sealed book must contain more than five forbidden techniques.

Richard does not need the forbidden techniques in the Book of Seales to increase his own strength.

But he still has great interest in the Sealed Book.

In addition, he also has a strong interest in the Flying Thunder God Technique.

The problem was that he didn't know where the scrolls and information on the Flying Thunder God Jutsu were.

The only thing that is certain is that Konoha must still have the information about the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Not to mention that the Flying Thunder God Jutsu is an S-level space-time ninjutsu invented by the second generation Hokage Tobirama.

Just by looking at how the Fourth Hokage Minato became famous in the ninja world with the Flying Thunder God Technique, we can know that Konoha would definitely preserve the information of the Flying Thunder God Technique well.

Unless all the top leaders of Konoha are suffering from Alzheimer's disease.

Otherwise, they would never let the Flying Thunder God Technique be lost.

After thinking about it, Richard temporarily gave up the idea of ​​stealing the Book of Seals and the information about the Flying Thunder God Technique.

The Chunin Exams are about to begin.

There's no need to create unnecessary complications at this time.

If he caused any major incident at this time, it would very likely cause the subsequent "plot" to develop in a different direction.

Although he didn't mind the "plot" developing in other directions, even if he wanted to change the "plot", he would have to wait until the Third Hokage died.

He would never be willing to accept the fate of Orochimaru unless he saw the famous scene of Orochimaru killing his master with his own hands.

Five p.m.

Just as Richard was about to close the store, three young ninjas wearing forehead protectors from the Hidden Oto Village came to the store.

As soon as he saw the three of them, Richard recognized their identities.

These three Otogakure ninjas were none other than Toss, King, and Sak, who were sent by Otogakure to participate in this Chunin Exam.

Richard had never seen these three people when he lived in Yinyin Village.

But he was no stranger to them.

Jin, whose hair grows to his calf level, uses ninja tools such as Senbon and bells.

With a bandage wrapped around his head and only his left eye exposed, Toss wore a porous armor on his right hand that could produce harsh sound waves to attack his opponent and paralyze his opponent's auditory nerves.

Saku's arms were modified by Orochimaru, and he could release air-slashing waves from the pores on his palms that were powerful enough to destroy rocks.

The three Jins were pawns carefully selected by Orochimaru to take part in the Chunin Exam.

Although the three of them are stronger than the average Genin, they all have obvious character flaws.

Jin has a very cold personality and is easily jealous of people who have better hair than him, such as Sakura.

Toss is belligerent and cunning.

As for Sark, he was equally warlike, but also reckless and arrogant.

In the comics, all three of them had bad endings.

Jin and Saku were used by Orochimaru as sacrifices for the "Impure World Reincarnation" of the First and Second Hokage.

And Toss was fooled by Kabuto Yakushi and went to provoke Gaara, but was easily killed by Gaara.

Although he was the first person to die in the team.

But compared to Jin and Sack, he was relatively lucky.

At least he was not used as a human sacrifice for Orochimaru's Impure World Reincarnation.

……

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 172 The corpses are sealed away

On the surface, Jin and his companions were carefully selected by Orochimaru, and they came to Konoha as Genin to cooperate with this plan to destroy Konoha.

But in fact, they are just three unlucky guys.

No matter how they performed in the Chunin Exams, as long as they were not dead, they were human sacrifices for Orochimaru to perform the Impure World Reincarnation.

In other words, even if they did not die in the Chunin Exam, they would eventually die at the hands of Orochimaru.

Jin and the others didn't know that this was the ninja tool shop opened by Richard.

They just happened to be in the downtown area, and saw that the name of the ninja tool shop looked a bit strange, so they walked in.

After entering the store and seeing that the person behind the counter was Richard, the three of them widened their eyes at the same time with expressions of disbelief.

They had no contact with Richard in Yinyin Village.

But they knew that Richard was Orochimaru's guest of honor.

Was he also arranged to Konoha by Lord Orochimaru?

After calming down a little, the same guess flashed through their minds at the same time.

Although they didn't speak, Richard knew what they were thinking.

"My coming here has nothing to do with Orochimaru."

"You'd better not tell anyone else about my relationship with Orochimaru, and the fact that Otogakure was founded by Orochimaru."

"Otherwise, the three of you will be taken back by the Anbu immediately and severely tortured, and experience the exquisite skills of the Anbu torture department firsthand."

Richard said to the three Jins.

Although Jin and the others did not have very high potential, even if they did not return to the Otogakure Village alive, they would at most grow to the level of special jonin.

But he didn't want to see Jin and the others being captured by the Anbu so easily.

Without these three, the Chuunin Exam would be less exciting.

After hearing his words, the three Jins looked at each other.

Then he nodded and looked at the ninja tools in the store.

They all frowned when they saw that there were only three regular-style vibranium kunai and a vibranium dagger in the display case.

This was the first time they saw a ninja tool shop that only had four ninja tools.

Is he really opening a shop?

After seeing the pitifully few ninja tools in the display case, Jin and the other two all had this thought.

Although it was a bit strange, Jin still came to the display case and took a look at the prices of the vibranium kunai and vibranium dagger.

Then she showed an expression of disbelief.

Three million ryo kunai?

A dagger worth six and a half million taels?

Although the currency used in the Land of Rice is different from that used in the Land of Fire, the purchasing power of one tael is not much different.

Before seeing the prices of the vibranium kunai and vibranium dagger, Jin would have suspected that Richard was just using the ninja tool shop as a disguise.

After seeing the selling price, she became more convinced of her judgment.

No normal ninja tool store owner would set such an outrageous price.

Jin frowned and looked at Richard, then turned and came to Sack and the other man and said to them, "Let's go, there's nothing to see here."

"it is good!"

Sack and Toss replied at the same time.

Without any hesitation, Jin and the other two left the ninja tool shop without looking back.

After the three of them left, Richard decisively ended today's business.

Although he didn't expect to meet Gin and the others in the store, after seeing them, he knew that Orochimaru had also come to Konoha.

The teacher leading the Golden Trio is Orochimaru in disguise.

In the Chunin Exam, Orochimaru was definitely the busiest person.

Not only did he disguise himself as the leading jonin of Otogakure Village, but he also used the face-erasing technique to disguise himself as a genin from Kusagakure Village.

Finally, he disguised himself as the Fourth Kazekage in the third round of the Chunin Exam.

After finishing today's business, Richard did not leave the Ninja Tool Shop immediately. Instead, he lay on the recliner behind the counter, thinking about whether he should go and meet Orochimaru.

After some not very rigorous thinking, he decided not to meet Orochimaru for the time being.

Although the Anbu did not continue to send people to monitor him, the Third Hokage would use the telescope technique to secretly monitor him from time to time.

If he ran to see Orochimaru now, he would most likely be discovered by the Third Hokage.

The Chunin Exams are about to begin, there's no need to create unnecessary trouble at this time.

That was his plan, but Orochimaru didn't think that way.

Twelve o'clock in the evening.

Richard, who was sleeping at home, opened his eyes.
