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

Over the next two days, Richard casually wandered around Konoha. He went to the famous Ichiraku Ramen, tried the food but found it just average, and also went to the Hokage Rock to overlook the entire village. He felt that if it weren't for the ninjas jumping around on the rooftops, and if there were a few more cars on the streets, it would just be a large village or town.

Danzo's failure to defeat him was impossible to hide, and the heavy losses suffered by Root were even more impossible to conceal. Don't underestimate the intelligence capabilities of the Konoha ninja clans.

In any case, the Uchiha clan, who had initially been eager to contact Richard, have now backed down. While celebrating Danzo's loss, they have also slowed down their plans to contact Richard, intending to observe the situation further.

The other ninja clans, who already had little interest in making contact, have now completely abandoned any such thoughts. Richard is too strong, stronger than they expected.

He didn't do anything that would provoke Hiruzen Sarutobi, such as getting close to Naruto Uzumaki or Sasuke Uchiha.

Anyway, I've already gained enough from the Root base. I've collected almost all of Konoha's ninjutsu, sealing techniques, barrier techniques, and the secret techniques passed down by various clans.

That reincarnation technique, similar to a wedge, is a unique feature of this world. The Six Paths Elder, who already controlled the Pure Land of the Underworld, wanted to arrange the reincarnation of his two sons easily. But it wouldn't be so simple in other worlds.

Unless other worlds also have the concept of reincarnation and possess the authority over reincarnation, one must cultivate good relations with the underworld or similar entities.

Richard didn't investigate further.

That day, Richard decided to leave Konoha.

"Why do you still want to follow me?" Richard was speechless, looking at Tsunade who was still preparing to catch up.

Why don't you stay in Konoha to run for the Fifth Hokage, then compete with Hiruzen Sarutobi for power, reform Konoha, and dominate the ninja world? Then why are you here discussing the ninja world situation with me? Are you bored?

"It's too much trouble, I don't want to do it. I'll just teach what you said to the Fifth Hokage later if someone becomes the Fifth Hokage."

"Besides, the ninja world has so many hidden secrets. Who knows how many powerful figures are hiding there? And you won't tell us. I'm afraid that once Konoha grows stronger, it might accidentally run into a brick wall and get wiped out. It's better to stay half-dead like this." Tsunade understood what he meant and said.

"Fine, whatever." Richard turned and left Konoha.

Tsunade and Shizune followed closely behind. The Anbu followed at a leisurely pace, while spies from various clans and even other ninja villages sized them up.

However, he ignored them all as long as they didn't come up to Richard.

Not long after leaving Konoha, the group disappeared, and all the spies lost track of them.

Richard used illusion magic to conceal the whereabouts of the group; unless he wanted to, no one could find him.

After more than a month of development, their actions in Amegakure had already been discovered by the other major ninja villages. Although they hadn't found out exactly what had happened, the major ninja villages all knew that Amegakure's leader, Hanzo, had been killed, and the entire Amegakure had fallen into the control of a mysterious organization called Akatsuki.

Previously, because Nagato controlled Amegakure, the other ninja villages were unable to obtain any real information about Amegakure. They didn't even know that Hanzo was already dead, and all believed that Amegakure was still under Hanzo's control.

Richard and his group went to fight the Akatsuki, but were seen by the Amegakure ninja. After the battle, the Akatsuki disappeared.

Spies from various ninja villages poured in, uncovering information that had been concealed by the Akatsuki organization through various channels, and also learning that Richard and his companions had defeated the Akatsuki.

Therefore, at this time, all the major ninja villages are paying close attention to Richard and his companions, and Konoha is especially focused on them after Danzo's devastating defeat.

But no matter how hard the various ninja villages searched, they couldn't find any trace of Richard.

Unbeknownst to the other ninja villages, Richard and his companions arrived at Kumogakure.

"What in Kumogakure could possibly catch your eye? The Fourth Raikage may have only been in office for a few years, but he's not someone to be trifled with," Tsunade said.

"Nothing much, just studying the tools made by the Sage of Six Paths." Although the tools left behind by the Sage of Six Paths are not very powerful, their functions are very special, somewhat like magical treasures from mythology.

The amber vase, with its ability to capture by name, allows the user to capture anyone who responds by calling their name. It's somewhat reminiscent of Laozi's Purple Gold Gourd.

The Seven Star Sword can sever and curse the opponent's words of power.

The golden rope, when touched, will cause the person to say their usual phrases.

The red gourd can preserve the incantation that the Seven Star Sword has severed, and when an enemy utters the incantation again, it will be collected into the red gourd.

The Seven Star Sword, the Golden Rope, and the Red Gourd can be used together.

The Banana Leaf Fan can unleash chakra attacks using five elements: wind, fire, water, earth, and lightning.

These amazing gadgets seemed rather useless at first glance, but their mechanisms of operation were too peculiar. Richard naturally wanted to study them and learn the Sage of Six Paths' methods of creation.

"You mean those treasures of the Kinkaku and Ginkaku families? Were they really made by the Sage of Six Paths? I thought Kinkaku and Ginkaku were just bragging." Tsunade knew quite a bit about Kinkaku and Ginkaku; those two were responsible for her great-grandfather's death in the rebellion.

However, the Golden Horn and Silver Horn have long since died, and all those Six Paths artifacts have fallen into the hands of the Hidden Cloud Village.

"Let's go then. I also want to see the legendary Six Paths artifacts." Tsunade was somewhat gloating. As long as it wasn't Konoha that was going to suffer, anyone would be fine with it.

The group concealed their tracks and entered Kumogakure. Richard then used genjutsu to hypnotize a high-ranking elite Jonin, obtaining the location of the treasure room.

Richard acquired the Six Paths artifacts in no time. He also obtained some secret ninjutsu from Kumogakure, such as their trump card, the Lightning Release Body Tempering Technique. Whether useful or not, Richard copied them all.

Afterwards, they analyzed all these artifacts outside Kumogakure. Although some aspects were a bit unclear, they all involved the essential application of chakra energy, and everything else was understood. After all, these were just early works of the Sage of Six Paths, and at that time, the Sage of Six Paths' application of Yin-Yang Release wasn't particularly advanced.

Richard then left these tools to the Slug Fairy.

This thing is just a trinket to them, its appeal lies in its novelty. Once analyzed, it becomes largely useless. They certainly wouldn't expect to use it against an enemy.

However, that peculiar space that could gather and suppress enemies was quite interesting. Richard thought he could try to replicate similar artifacts in the future.

The amber bottle and red gourd are made of poor materials. Even though the Sage of Six Paths' crafting techniques are quite exquisite, bringing out almost all the properties of the materials, they probably wouldn't be able to handle a very strong enemy. But Richard has a ton of good materials here, so we can make do with those.
