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

"You said Hiruzen Sarutobi wanted to see me?" Richard asked.

That day, after Tsunade met with the Third Hokage again, she returned and said that the Third Hokage wanted to see her and asked Richard if he wanted to go see him.

"No, it's too much trouble." Richard toyed with a deep blue bead.

"Is this the Tenseigan you were talking about with the slug?" Tsunade looked at the azure bead with curiosity. As for Richard saying he didn't want to see the Third Hokage, so be it. She hadn't expected him to give her any special treatment anyway.

"Yes, this is the Tenseigan." Richard took some time yesterday to go to the moon and retrieved the giant Tenseigan.

As for the Otsutsuki clan, who were of mixed blood, they only discovered that their most precious treasure had been stolen after Richard took the giant Tenseigan. However, they found no trace of Richard at all.

After all, the Ōtsutsuki clan had long been exhausted by infighting. The branch family launched a rebellion, killing members of the main family. The branch family itself also suffered heavy losses in the main family's desperate resistance, leaving only a dying old man and a blind child.

In this situation, how could they possibly have discovered Richard? In fact, not discovering Richard was perhaps a good thing; although the treasure was lost, at least they survived.

Richard even had the energy to observe Kaguya Otsutsuki, who was sealed on the moon.

Unfortunately, the Sage of Six Paths and his brother sealed Princess Kaguya too tightly. The dense seal made Richard's scalp tingle, and he couldn't see what was inside at all.

Given Richard's current reserves of sealing techniques and magic circles, breaking this seal would likely require a very long time of research. It would be better to just use brute force.

However, he has no intention of releasing Kaguya at the moment.

Since we can't see Princess Kaguya, it wouldn't hurt to observe the sealing technique on the surface. The Sage of Six Paths and his brother must have used all their best techniques to seal Princess Kaguya back then.

After spending several hours studying sealing techniques, Richard leisurely returned to the ninja world.

Richard didn't find the passage to the moon; he flew there directly, which still took some time to travel back and forth.

Upon returning, Richard, as previously instructed, gave the giant Tenseigan to the slug. But the slug found it useless.

This giant Tenseigan was synthesized by the Otsutsuki clan on the moon using the eyes of their members. It naturally possesses the ability to recognize its master through bloodline, and cannot be used by anyone other than the Otsutsuki clan. Perhaps the Hyuga clan could use it.

It's impossible for a slug to transplant a Byakugan just to use this giant Tenseigan.

Although the Slug Sage had purchased the alchemy techniques uploaded by Xia Mi, the time was too short, and it hadn't yet produced many usable results. After all, the Ninja World didn't have the vast difference in time flow like the Panlong World.

Therefore, it could only ask Richard to help it modify itself, at least to remove the usage restrictions. It would be even better if its energy could be changed from chakra-driven to natural energy or Sage Chakra energy-driven.

After Richard got his hands on it, he spent some time modifying the giant Tenseigan, turning it from a large sphere several meters tall into the bead in his hand.

This bead is now usable by everyone. It can also be used with Sage Chakra, and it's even more efficient and powerful than using regular chakra.

However, natural energy is not an option. There is a serious conflict between natural energy and chakra. If natural energy is directly inputted, it may damage this reincarnation eye.

This can be considered a practice piece. Through this modification of the Tenseigan, Richard has gained some ideas on how to modify the Rinnegan and Kamuigan in his possession.

The main change is in energy. He doesn't have chakra and doesn't plan to cultivate a chakra system, so he has to change his energy system into his own divine power system.

After playing with the bead for a while, Richard tossed it to the slug, who then teleported it back to the Wet Bone Forest.

This is a great treasure for the Slug Sage, as it can directly enhance its strength.

Seeing that the two wouldn't reveal anything more, Tsunade went back to relay a message to the Third Hokage.

"Not going to see him?" the Third Hokage murmured. He rarely encountered someone who wouldn't give him face like this.

Fine, if the mountain won't come to me, can't I go to the mountain? If I want to, I can always meet him. This person has been staying in the Senju family home since he came to Konoha and hasn't left. I don't know what's going on. I asked Tsunade, but she wouldn't tell me. I have to meet him.

Meanwhile, after Tsunade left, two people dressed in ANBU uniforms came to her door.

Danzo waited for several days, but Richard never came out, leaving him no opportunity to strike.

So Danzo decided not to wait any longer and to just go for it. As long as Tsunade wouldn't compromise, she wouldn't budge unless he had her in his hands.

Richard looked at the two Anbu members in front of him, who claimed to have been summoned by the Hokage. He couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement. "No wonder he's Danzo," he thought, "even when he's courting death, he's in a rush. He's been staying home peacefully, yet he still managed to come knocking on my door. Well, don't blame me for that."

There are countless scapegoats in the ninja world; if you can't find the real culprit, just pin it all on Danzo.

Tsunade had just mentioned that the Hokage had invited her, and before she could even report that she didn't want to see him, the Anbu came to forcibly summon her?

Tsk tsk, Danzo is really reckless. It's all thanks to Hiruzen Sarutobi's support that he's so confident. No matter what he does, Hiruzen will always cover for him.

"Alright, since the Hokage has summoned us, let's go." Richard stood up and followed the two so-called ANBU members.

Even though the two men weren't leading the way to the Hokage Building, and even though the road was becoming increasingly remote, Richard remained silent.

Until they arrived at the Root Base, they met the bandaged Danzo.

"You don't seem surprised?" Danzo frowned upon seeing Richard's calm demeanor; this reaction was completely unexpected. To prevent any mishaps, he had even sent a team to secretly follow Richard, ready to force themselves on him should Richard show the slightest resistance.

But Richard followed without any resistance, and did not hesitate at all even when he saw the Root base.

Something's wrong, very wrong. Danzo waved his hand without hesitation. "Take him down."

No matter what the situation, subdue the person first and ensure that the situation is under your control.

On the other side, the Hokage Building.

An ANBU member approached Hiruzen Sarutobi and whispered a report about the situation.

Tsunade...

She heard me; there's no need to pretend to be so careful. If you really didn't want me to hear it, you shouldn't have said it in front of me.

So what if Danzo took Richard away? Anyway, Richard won't be the one who suffers.

She knew that Richard had been under the surveillance of the Anbu ever since she returned, and that Anbu had been watching her ancestral home the whole time. Therefore, the Third Hokage couldn't have been kept in the dark that Danzo's men had taken Richard away.

"Tsunade, this was an accident. I promise Danzo won't hurt your friend." Although Hiruzen Sarutobi hadn't expected Danzo to take the person away, he thought it would be alright to let Danzo scout out the situation first.

"You should be thinking about how to collect Danzo's body first. Danzo is doomed," Tsunade mocked.

Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned. Tsunade had so much confidence in that person? Was he really that strong? Impossible. Even if he went to Root's stronghold, he couldn't guarantee a safe escape.
