Zhutian Panlong: They've all become gods, and they're only just joining the chat group.

That evening, Richard took out the documents he had exchanged with Tsunade and looked at them.

First, there's sealing techniques, a skill Richard is quite interested in. Seals and barriers—both are quite intriguing. Whether it's a seal or a barrier, they are essentially about utilizing energy, not much different from ninjutsu. Sealing techniques simply focus on functions like sealing and restricting.

On the other side, Tsunade also took out the training materials that Richard had exchanged.

After a while, she put most of it back, leaving only those related to combat techniques for warriors. The rest required a lot of time to study and research. Currently, she was traveling and not in a good position to do research.

On the contrary, these combat skills might be something that can be learned quickly.

Not all techniques are compatible with the chakra energy system; Tsunade had to experiment with them herself.

Aside from "the power of heaven and earth," which has little to do with combat skills and is more about understanding the universe, Tsunade is naturally most interested in advanced techniques like "effortless mastery" and "heavy lifting."

In fact, Tsunade herself had some understanding of "treating light things as heavy things", but she had not formed a complete system of techniques.

Her powerful punches have a "lightweight yet heavy" feel to them.

Tsunade watched and practiced, trying to find the feeling of "effortless mastery," but then felt it wasn't quite right. Just like the book said, it's best to practice this with a heavy weapon and try it at a waterfall.

Richard noticed her movements and, with a sudden thought, said, "How about you help me research the clone technique with a high-quality heavy weapon?"

He had purchased ninjutsu related to the Shadow Clone Technique from the ninjutsu transmitted by the slug, but perhaps due to a mismatch in power systems, his research was not going smoothly. As for his wind element, he was only one shadow clone away from comprehending all the mysteries, but he had never figured out what the wind clone was, so he had never been able to comprehend it.

He naturally wanted to see if he could gain any insights by drawing parallels from other techniques in this ninja world. As for sealing techniques, he could study them anytime; compared to that, the mysteries of clones were more important.

Tsunade raised an eyebrow. She didn't use weapons herself, so this offer wasn't very appealing to her. Even though she desperately needed heavy weapons right now, it didn't change anything.

"I'll use a metal with good energy conduction capabilities, similar to the chakra conduction metal in your world. It's not cheap. Are you sure you don't want it?" Richard asked.

"How about I have Shizune assist you with your research?" Tsunade asked, somewhat tempted.

"Sure, as long as someone can cooperate," Richard said.

"Deal." Tsunade clapped her hands.

"Ah! Lady Tsunade..." Shizune called out weakly, not expecting that Tsunade would betray her with just one sentence.

"Come on, let's see which metal has the best ability to conduct chakra." Richard waved his hand and took out several high-density minerals. He had countless such rare minerals in his storage ring.

Tsunade tried them one by one; if one batch didn't work, she could try another. She quickly found the ore with excellent conductivity.

Then, after asking Tsunade what kind of weapon she wanted.

Richard used his divine power to melt the ore, extracting the impurities and forging it into a broadsword. He then used alchemy to imbue it with properties such as strength and weight.

Then a broadsword weighing over 800 kilograms was freshly forged.

This sword would be so-so in the Panlong World, not even worth considering by those at the Saint Realm, but it's decent for those below the Saint Realm. In the Ninja World, it would definitely be much stronger than so-called famous swords. However, its weight of over 800 jin (approximately 400 kg) means it's not something an ordinary ninja could wield.

Tsunade cannot use it without using her super strength, but she can use it normally when she uses her super strength.

Over the next few days, Tsunade wielded her broadsword, studying the combat technique of "effortless mastery." She pretended not to notice the resentful look Shizune cast her way.

Meanwhile, Shizune, in coordination with Richard, repeatedly demonstrated the clone techniques she knew, including the clone technique, shadow clone technique, water clone technique, earth clone technique, and so on, all from the Three Body Techniques. She learned any she didn't know on the spot, as Richard already possessed these ninjutsu.

After several days of hard work, he finally got a clue. At this point, Richard extravagantly used his divine power to conduct experiments, creating blurry figures.

That means I've only scratched the surface; I'm still a long way from getting started.

A few days later, in the Land of Rain, a country where it rains all year round, a country that once declared war on the five great ninja villages single-handedly during the Second Shinobi World War.

Unfortunately, their strength couldn't match their ambition. After the war, the Land of Rain was ravaged, and its people suffered. Hanzo the Salamander hid in Amekage Village, no longer showing his face; this battle had shattered his aspirations. From then on, he only wanted to live a quiet life in Amekage Village, turning a blind eye to the Land of Rain's devastation at the hands of the Five Great Nations.

Rain Village, shrouded in incessant rain. This small ninja village, believed by outsiders to be controlled by Hanzo of the Salamander, had actually changed hands in secret long ago. Now, the Akatsuki organization, a well-known mercenary group in the ninja world, is in control of the village and is also the mastermind behind the turmoil in the ninja world for the next ten years.

As for Hanzo the Salamander, he was already killed by Nagato, the current leader of Akatsuki, and became one of the Six Paths Puppet Masters. Who told him to collude with Danzo, the scapegoat of Konoha, to kill Yahiko, the first leader of Akatsuki?

If the first Akatsuki was a regional peace organization in the Land of Rain, then the second Akatsuki was a terrifying organization that shrouded the ninja world.

Of course, it's hard to say what the future holds for the Akatsuki organization, since Richard has his eye on it.

To be precise, they were eyeing Nagato's Rinnegan, Obito's Kamui, and the Yin-Yang Release creation, Black Zetsu.

Just outside Rain Shadow Village, Richard, Tsunade, and Tsunade's little follower Shizune arrived from afar.

A tiny slug was perched on Tsunade's shoulder.

With Tsunade and the other two by their side, their speed decreased considerably, and it took the three of them several days to reach the Land of Rain.

"That's enough. If we go any further, the master will find us." Richard looked at the rain that enveloped the entire ninja village. It contained Nagato's chakra, and any outside ninjas who entered would be discovered.

Tsunade and her companion also observed the ninja village and the rain before them. After careful observation, they discovered subtle chakra mixed in with the rainwater. This was only because both of them were medical ninjas, and their perception of chakra was sufficiently sharp.

"It's a pity that Obito Uchiha and Black Zetsu are not here," Richard said after carefully sensing the surroundings with his mental power.

In fact, with his current mental power and perception range, he could easily encompass the entire ninja world, but unfortunately that would easily alert the Sage of Six Paths and Isshiki Otsutsuki, who was hiding somewhere.

Therefore, he has never used large-scale mental perception since arriving in the ninja world.

It's not that I'm afraid of the Sage of Six Paths, but there are still so many good things I haven't gotten my hands on yet. What if I break them during the fight?

That would require creating some commotion to bring Obito Uchiha and Black Zetsu back.

"Let's go in," he said, turning to her.

"Aren't you afraid of being discovered again?" Tsunade teased.

"We need to make a splash to attract people back from outside," Richard said.

"Let's go then." Tsunade took a step and quickly stepped into the area covered by rain.

Shortly after she stepped into the rain-covered area, in Rain Shadow Village, at the central tower.

"Someone's here. Xiao Nan, gather them to meet our guests," said a thin, red-haired young man.

"Nagato, what about your health?" Konan was very worried. Nagato's health was deteriorating, and she didn't know how much longer he could hold on.

"I'm fine. We haven't finished our business yet. How could I die now?" Nagato said.

Soon after, Richard and his companions calmly observed the gradually thinning crowd around them. Then, several people appeared in front of them, surrounding them.

"Surrender! We'll spare you from harming you since you haven't hurt any villagers," said Xiao Nan, who was dressed in a black robe with red auspicious cloud patterns.

"Tsunade, do you want to play with them?" Richard said.

"Shall we have some fun?" Tsunade appeared instantly in front of Sasori of the Red Sand.

With a single punch, the person in front of him exploded like sawdust.

Dozens of puppets surged towards her. Tsunade was suddenly surrounded. However, she remained calm. Although there were many puppets, they were no match for her; she could take them down with a single punch.

Meanwhile, the others wanted to go and support Sasori. But Lee realized that it was enough to send one to Tsunade to deal with; any more and she might be in trouble.

So he unleashed several wind blades to block their path.

Konan, Kakuzu, and two unnamed extras—at this time, the Akatsuki organization was not as full of talent as it would be in later generations, and Obito Uchiha and Black Zetsu were not present.

Richard, with a playful attitude, took down the two minor characters in less than two minutes. Kakuzu also had three hearts blown out and was ready to run away at any moment. Even when Konan couldn't hold on any longer, Pain appeared.

"As expected, only Konan is a treasure; the rest of the Akatsuki are just weeds," Richard remarked.

"Who are you?" Pain asked. He ignored Richard's sarcastic remark.

"Guess." Richard sensed that Nagato's main body was still in the central tower, while two other sneaky guys had also run back and were hiding in some dark place without showing themselves.

"Heh, then we can close the net." Richard instantly suppressed the six Six Paths Puppets, using his Divine Domain in conjunction with Wind Space, and then directly stored the six puppets into his spatial ring. After all, they weren't living beings and could be stored in a ring.

He then flashed to Obito Uchiha and Black Zetsu, using the same God Domain combined with the Wind Space to casually dig out Obito's Kamui Eye and throw it into the solution prepared by Tsunade.

He then sealed Black Zetsu inside a crystal ball.

He then appeared at the central tower, and Nagato hadn't even realized what had happened yet. He just felt that he suddenly couldn't contact the Six Paths of Pain.

Seeing Richard suddenly appear in front of him, he realized that it must have been this guy who was behind it.

He raised his hand, intending to unleash the Super Shinra Tensei. At this moment, he no longer cared about the consequences for his body; he only wanted the guy opposite him to die.

However, Richard was faster. With a wave of his hand, he restrained him, then removed his Rinnegan and repaired his eyes as well.

It's just that it's no longer the Rinnegan. The Uzumaki clan can't possibly have the Rinnegan, even if they undergo a primal mutation, their bodies can't support it. It's incredibly difficult for the Uchiha clan to evolve the Rinnegan.

Even Richard doubted that ordinary Uchiha could evolve the Rinnegan, since the two Uchiha who evolved the Rinnegan were both reincarnations of Indra.
