The Mutant God in American Comics.

However, Asuma and Kurenai took the initiative to walk towards them.

"Hello Mr. Richard, I am Asuma Sarutobi."

Asuma said to Richard politely.

"Hello, nice to meet you."

Richard replied.

Although I don’t know why Asuma came over to say hello to me, as the saying goes, don’t hit someone who smiles at you.

Since Asuma greeted him so politely, he also needed to respond politely.

Chapter 192 Guarantee

After hearing Richard's answer, Asuma looked at him seriously and continued, "Would it be convenient for me to have a private chat with you, Mr. Richard?"

"of course can!"

Richard replied.

After talking to Yuhi Kurenai and Uzuki Yugao for a few words, they came to an empty corner of the street.

After arriving here, Asma first took out a pack of cigarettes and said to Richard, "Mr. Richard, do you smoke?"

"No, thank you!"

Although he used to smoke cigars when he was bored, Richard had no addiction to smoking and shook his head.

Asuma nodded and lit one for himself.

After taking a deep puff, he continued, "Actually, after the Third Hokage's funeral, I wanted to have a good chat with you, Mr. Richard."

"But before I could go find you, you left Konoha."

Hearing this, Richard guessed what Asuma wanted to talk to him about.

Needless to say, Asuma will definitely ask him why he did not intervene in the battle between Orochimaru and the Third Hokage at that time.

Although the Four Sound Ninjas performed the Four Purple Flame Formation, they created a battlefield for Orochimaru where he would not be disturbed by others.

But the Four Purple Flame Formation had no way to prevent a powerful being like Richard from intervening in the battle.

The Four Purple Flame Formation might be able to stop him for a while, but it is impossible to keep him out forever.

Richard was not wrong, Asuma soon asked him about it.

"Mr. Richard, you were also on the rooftop where Orochimaru and the Third Hokage were fighting."

"I'm not complaining about anything. I just want to know why you didn't try to stop Orochimaru at that time, Mr. Richard."

"I know that you, Mr. Richard, must have the strength to break the Four Purple Flame Formation. Not even one tail can block your sword. As long as you want, the Four Purple Flame Formation will never be able to stop you from entering."

Asuma looked at Richard with a serious expression and spoke quickly.

He was the son of the Third Hokage, so Richard was not surprised that he would ask himself such a question.

However, this does not mean that he has to answer Asuma honestly.

"The reason is simple, because I didn't expect the Third Hokage to use that kind of ninjutsu on Orochimaru."

"Or rather, I thought the Third Hokage would defeat Orochimaru."

"Although Orochimaru is very powerful, he was taught by the Third Hokage himself. The Third Hokage knew very well how to deal with Orochimaru."

"Also, there is another reason why I didn't take action, and that is because the Third Hokage didn't ask me for help."

"The Third Hokage knew that I was outside the barrier, but he still did not ask me for help. Instead, he planned to defeat Orochimaru by his own strength."

"Judging from the results, the Third Hokage's choice was not a very wise one."

"But under the circumstances at the time, I chose to respect the choice of the Third Hokage."

"He is the Hokage of Konoha. He probably doesn't want the outside world to talk about Konoha and think that Konoha can't even deal with the invaders with its own strength."

Richard looked at Asuma calmly and spoke slowly.

Although he did not take action at that time mainly because he personally did not like the Third Hokage very much.

But if the Third Hokage really asked him for help at that time, he would not say that he would definitely help, but he would at least consider it.

If nothing else, helping an elderly person in need is a virtue.

Asuma didn't speak immediately, but looked at Richard with a complicated expression.

He had actually considered what Richard said.

But from the perspective of a son, he still hopes that Richard will take the initiative to rescue the Third Hokage.

Of course, he also knew that Richard had no obligation to help the Third Hokage.

Although Richard now lives in Konoha, he is not a ninja of Konoha, but just an outsider who has temporarily settled in Konoha.

After sighing, Asuma said to Richard, "I don't have any other questions, so I won't bother you any more, Mr. Richard. Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions."

"You are welcome."

Richard said slowly.

After the chat, they returned to Yuhi Kurenai and Uzuki Yugao and continued their shopping.

After strolling around the night market for over an hour and buying some daily necessities and gadgets, Richard and Mao Yue Xi Yan walked towards their residence.

After returning to her residence, Mao Yue Xi Yan first sorted out the things she bought from the night market, and then said to Richard: "I'm going to take a shower first."

"Uh-huh."

Richard nodded.

After watching Mao Yue Xi Yan enter the second bedroom and then go to the bathroom with her clothes, he came to the study.

Sitting down behind the desk and thinking about tomorrow's arrangements, he used his super vision and looked towards Sasuke's house.

It is already past nine o'clock in the evening. Even if Sasuke, Naruto and others have gone out on a mission, as long as they have not left the village, he should have returned home to rest by now.

Normally, this is indeed the case.

But after using his super vision to look around Sasuke's house, Richard still didn't see Sasuke.

Did he leave the village to carry out the mission?

This thought immediately flashed through Richard's mind.

Because of his arrival, Sasuke's fate has begun to become completely different from the original.

In the original work, when Sasuke saw Itachi returning to the village and was easily defeated by Itachi and mocked by him for not being strong enough in hatred, Sasuke had the idea of ​​joining Orochimaru.

Next, Sasuke was taken away from the village by the Four Sound Ninjas, and Naruto, Neji and others left the village, preparing to bring Sasuke back to the village.

However, now, this story, which occupies a lot of space in the original work, no longer has a chance to happen.

Orochimaru has now temporarily given up his plan to "kidnap" Sasuke.

In addition, because the souls in his hands were not sealed by the Shikigami Fūjin, Orochimaru at this time was not in a hurry to change his body like in the original work.

Although he didn't know where Sasuke was doing now, Richard didn't think much about it and deactivated his super vision.

……

The next morning.

After enjoying the breakfast prepared by Mao Yueyuan at his residence, Richard used his flying ability to leave his residence and flew towards the Hokage's office.

In addition to recommending Uzuki Yugao to Tsunade as a jonin, he also planned to complete all the procedures required for the private office today.

Soon, he arrived outside the Hokage's office.

Just like yesterday, he did not choose to enter through the main door, but instead pushed open the window and flew in through it.

As he entered the Hokage's office, Tsunade's voice rang out.

"Can't you just come in through the front door like everyone else?"

Tsunade was dressed no differently than yesterday, and she frowned at Richard and spoke quickly.

"It takes a few more steps to come in from the main entrance, so it's more convenient to go through the window."

Richard said casually.

"This is the Hokage's office after all. You always come here uninvited and come in through the window like a thief. If others find out, it won't have a good impact."

Tsunade continued.

"Then it's fine if no one else knows about it."

Richard said with a smile.

Looking at Richard who was adamant and showed no intention of changing, Tsunade sighed helplessly.

"Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about today?"

"If you're here for personal office matters, just go find Shizune and she'll help you with it."

Tsunade didn't waste any more time and asked directly.

As the Hokage, she now needs to deal with a lot of affairs every day.

Although she could also hand these matters over to other people, doing so would make her appear lazy as she had just taken office and was unwilling to handle even the Hokage's duties herself.

"I'm not here for personal office matters."

"The main reason I came here today is to recommend someone to you for promotion to Jonin."

Richard looked at Tsunade seriously and said quickly.

Although he hadn't said who it was, Tsunade immediately guessed who he was going to recommend.

"Do you want to recommend Uzuki Yugao for promotion to jonin?"

Tsunade asked immediately.

"Yes."

Richard nodded.

"If I remember correctly, she's just a special jonin who's good at Konoha-style swordsmanship."

"Her swordsmanship is indeed good, and I heard from others that you personally taught her."

"But apart from swordsmanship, her other abilities do not meet the requirements of a jonin for the time being."

Tsunade knew why Richard recommended Uzuki Yugao to be promoted to Jonin.

But from her point of view, the current Uzuki Yugao has not yet reached the level that a jonin should have, and is only suitable to be a special jonin.

"Except for swordsmanship, Xi Yan's abilities in other areas are indeed not very good."

"But the strength she possesses now is definitely not much worse than other jonin."

"In addition, her mission volume has already met the standards for promotion to jonin."

"If you're still worried, I can be her guarantor."

"If anything goes wrong after she's promoted to jonin, you can come directly to me."

Richard came in front of Tsunade and gave the answer that Tsunade wanted to hear.

Don’t think that Tsunade just said so much and looked very businesslike.

But Richard knew that Tsunade just wanted him to pay a corresponding price.

After hearing his answer, Tsunade smiled and said, "You said that yourself. I didn't force you."

"Since you are willing to be her guarantor, I will promote you to Jonin."

"I'll have Shizune take care of the formalities for her promotion to jonin later."

"Do you have anything else to do?"

After Tsunade finished speaking, Richard actually remembered one extra thing and said to her: "I want to know everything that happened after Uchiha Itachi returned to the village."

Uchiha Itachi?
