From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

Scorpion of the Red Sand, who has transformed into a human puppet, is actually immune to the strange attacks of illusions to a large extent.

Of course, there is a price to pay, which is that physical fitness can only be improved by replacing parts, and it is impossible to have any intersection with physical skills in this life.

Whether it is good or bad depends on personal experience. This is also the wonderful thing about this world. Everyone can pursue the ultimate on different paths.

Just like Might Guy, who would never be able to use any illusion in his life, he still almost kicked Madara to death.

However, the situation was urgent at the time. Although he killed two Uchiha, Scorpion was unable to take the bodies away with the help of the subsequent pursuers. Therefore, he was unable to create a human puppet of the Uchiha clan to try whether he could use the human puppet method to control the Sharingan.

Moreover, Scorpion has a bit of the arrogance of an artist. He doesn't even look down on the corpses of ordinary people, even those of Uchiha.

This time he set his sights on Uchiha Kagami, and was originally planning to take action himself, but after investigation, he found that Uchiha Kagami was not simple.

Just like Kakuzu said, he was a big shot, with an unusual background and identity, and he was the fastest man in the ninja world. As the disciple of the Second Hokage, he was treated even more differently.

As we all know, the Second Hokage is a guy who has high demands on himself and others. How can someone who doesn't have some skills become his disciple?

I'm afraid he's different from the usual Uchiha and very tricky.

In order to be safe, Scorpion invited Kakuzu to help.

But Kakuzu brought another even more powerful guy over, and he defeated me in the first encounter?

Although Scorpio felt that if he had been fully prepared, he would not have been so easily defeated, he had to admit that he was indeed a little careless and underestimated the enemy.

But in this situation, being able to kill himself in one second is still very impressive, and his strength cannot be bad at all.

As a rather proud man, although Scorpion did not like Diarmait, he still approved of him in his heart. Otherwise, he would not have just ignored what happened just now.

It's not just Sasori who is interested in the Uchiha clan. In fact, most ninjas in the ninja world are like this. It's okay if they are in the same village, but if they are in the enemy village, they would really want to pull out your tendons and skin as soon as they meet you, and gouge out your eyes and take them away.

Diarmait... was of course also very interested.

He had little to say about the Uchiha clan's development and history, but he was definitely interested in the Sharingan. There was a saying circulating in the ninja world: "Only the Sharingan can counter the Sharingan." Although this was proven to be a falsehood, it was an exaggeration of the Uchiha clan's bloodline limit.

But it has to be said that many ninjas agree with this concept.

The reason is that the Sharingan is almost at the pinnacle of illusion at this stage. The Uchiha clan started with fire escape, but illusion is also their specialty. And because of the Sharingan, they have extremely high resistance to most illusions.

Diarmait now feels that he is not afraid of others in terms of hard power. Kakuzu is so rampant and Sasori is so coquettish, but they still cannot break his defense. But the problem is that there are many strange and weird ninjutsu that are hard to guard against, and there are also some messy forbidden techniques, especially sealing techniques, which are even more terrifying.

So he still has many weaknesses, and he thinks that illusion should be his biggest flaw!

If I could get the Sharingan... maybe I could find a good solution?

Even if he had to undergo a 'transplant' in the end, he would be able to accept it, even though it would be disgusting.

Thinking of this, Diarmuid also became interested in Uchiha Mirror.

During the Third Shinobi World War, the Uchiha clan was still relatively active and had many strong people. Uchiha Kagami, Uchiha Fugaku, and Uchiha Shisui were all representative figures.

Especially Uchiha Shisui, he is one of the few people in the Third Ninja World War who can be compared with the yellow flash of Minato Namikaze.

Both of them shined in this battle.

Shunshin Shisui is known as the 'flawless ninja', which shows how strong he is.

That other god made Diarmuid extremely wary. That thing was completely cheating. Whoever he glared at would have his mind "diified", and there would be no way or means of resistance at all.

Uchiha Itachi even used this trick to break the control of the Impure World Reincarnation.

It's almost a conceptual killer move.

Possessing this kind of ability can only be said to be one's own misfortune. A man is innocent but is guilty of possessing a treasure, especially since Shisui's Kotoamatsukami has been discovered by others. If he doesn't die, who will?

Anyone who is strong would hope that this strange yet irresistible power would disappear completely or be used for their own benefit.

When it comes to hiding one's abilities, Uchiha Fugaku is still better. Until his death, few people knew that he had the Mangekyō.

"Kakuzu, don't always be like this. This kind of thing requires a long-term process. Don't you have a good relationship with Scorpion? He is also your old customer. You can't keep asking for money under such circumstances. Otherwise, if you fall out now, will you still be able to do business in the future? Fifty thousand taels is not a low amount." Diarmait advised.

Kakuzu was silent for a moment, then said, "Okay then." Requesting flowers.

Scorpion was a bit surprised, because he knew Kakuzu well enough: a money-grubber. He'd never seen him budge on money, and he'd been ready to have a serious argument with him. ...And that guy named Diarmait, with just a few words, changed Kakuzu's mind?

This is quite interesting. Could there be some strange relationship between the two of them?

In fact, Kakuzu was just testing the waters this time. After all, whenever he said this to Diarmait, Diarmait would start throwing money around without saying a word.

With Diarmait leading the way, Kakuzu now wants to try to get more money for everything he does.

Whether there is a date or not, just give it a try. It doesn’t take much to say a word anyway. If you happen to meet a generous and magnanimous person, then you will be lucky, right?

Seeing that Kakuzu didn't bother to argue anymore, Scorpion didn't bother to bring up the matter of money anymore and said, "According to my intelligence, when the Kumogakure Village and Konoha go to war, both sides will have a test fight in the Land of Rice. You saw it before."

Yes, I saw it. After all, the corpses were collected by Jiaozu.

After a brief pause, Sasori continued, "According to the intelligence I received, Uchiha Kagami will be leading Konoha's vanguard troops to fight against the Hidden Cloud Village. Therefore, we will wait for him nearby for a few days. Once I confirm his whereabouts, I will find an opportunity to attack him. The battlefield is in chaos, so it doesn't matter what we do."

Indeed, it was normal for anyone to be killed in the chaos on the battlefield. Even if others saw that Diarmuid and others had taken the Uchiha Mirror, they would probably be regarded as hired ninjas or wild wandering ninjas at most.

The problem is not big.

Kakuzu looked at Scorpion strangely and asked, "I've wanted to ask you for a long time. You are wandering alone in the Ninja World, right?" "Is there a problem? Weren't you alone before?" Scorpion responded calmly without any change in his tone.

Kakuzu wanted to say that he had companions, but they had already been exchanged for money, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he continued, "So, where did you get such confidential information? Konoha's head of the vanguard of the Hidden Cloud Village, this should be one of the most advanced intelligence, right?"

That’s right, Jiao Du is doubting whether the information provided by Scorpion is reliable or not, so as to avoid being tricked without knowing it.

Uchiha Kagami's identity and background are all there, and he is the leader of the vanguard force. How did you get such top-secret information about his whereabouts?

Listening to Kakuzu's question, the eyes of Scorpion's puppet were very lively, just like real eyes, with a hint of disdain, and then he said: "I have my own way, don't worry, it's absolutely safe." Diarmait listened to this and thought about it for a while, then he understood a little.

That's right, in my impression, Scorpion is indeed not just an artist, but also a master of human puppets. He is very powerful and can use hundreds of machines to destroy a country by himself.

At the same time, he is also a very good intelligence master.

In the Akatsuki organization, it is not only Black and White Zetsu who provide and are responsible for intelligence, but Scorpion is almost the same.

And his most outstanding skill in intelligence is the "subconscious sand manipulation technique".

Of course, those who are good at water often drown in water. He was too confident, and later suffered a lot in this regard, such as personally handing Kabuto Yakushi to Orochimaru.

"Master of intelligence..." Diarmait originally didn't care much about Scorpion, but now that he remembered his identity, his eyes lit up with excitement.

Wow, you've successfully caught my attention!

The Red Sand Scorpion also noticed Diarmait's gaze, and it suddenly seemed to light up, staring at him with a chilling gaze. ...Earth.

Chapter 475: Invite Scorpion of the Red Sand to join?

Diarmuid originally came from the intelligence department of the navy.

His many years of war experience have made him attach great importance to the power of intelligence.

In his view, the power of intelligence is a force that can influence the direction of many things, and when it comes to war, the first thing to look at is the economy, and the second is intelligence.

The third thing to look at is the strength of the military. Often in wars where the weak defeats the strong, the turning point comes from intelligence issues.

He himself has a certain understanding of the world of Naruto, but after all, decades have passed, and there may still be many things that are unclear.

Moreover, this is a real world, just like the world of pirates. In the later period, they were basically led by themselves to an unknown place. Before the year 1520 of the Sea Circle Calendar, the navy dominated the sea, and the pirate forces were almost wiped out. In the original story, Luffy had not even set out to sea at that time.

That has nothing to do with the details that we originally learned, and cannot be used.

So how can we maintain these relative advantages? Intelligence is the key.

Relying on Queen Stussy's CP agency, the undercover organization of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and the Navy's intelligence department, Diarmait always has the highest priority intelligence, so he can firmly hold the dominant power.

The same is true in this world. He hasn't done anything big yet, so naturally he won't change the relevant process, but he will definitely make trouble here, and then many things will change beyond recognition.

Therefore, it is impossible to rely entirely on the so-called 'prophetic 'seven sevens' foresight'.

In this way, intelligence becomes very important.

Unfortunately, in this world, intelligence is also highly valued. It is difficult for him to spend more than ten years to train undercover agents from a young age like in the pirate world, or to have the help of an intelligence organization like the CP agency that has been operating for hundreds of years.

Then we have to find relevant talents. Kabuto Yakushi is a powerful guy, but now he is probably still a scumbag kid.

On the other hand, the always-ignored 'Scorpion of the Red Sand' is actually the one who truly suits his taste!

"I've tolerated you for a few days. Why do you keep looking at me like this?" In a dilapidated little village in the Land of Fields, the Red Sand Scorpion looked at Diarmuid with some displeasure as he sat on a rock not far away, a cigarette in his mouth, glancing at him from time to time.

It has been a few days since the three of them reunited, and they can clearly feel that the atmosphere in the Land of Rice has become more tense. Ninjas from the Hidden Cloud Village and Konoha can be seen fighting fiercely in the mountains, by the rivers, and near some villages, and both sides have won and lost.

Now is still the exploratory stage, and it is impossible to really show who has the advantages and disadvantages.

In the past few days, they also met a group of Konoha ninjas. Diarmait didn't recognize any of them. It seemed that they were just a supporting role. He didn't even need to make a move before he was taken care of by Kakuzu and Sasori.

The village we are currently in, although dilapidated, is still somewhat "popular", which also proves that this existence was destroyed not long ago, just within a few days.

Ninja wars are extremely cruel, even for Konoha, which uses the bright concept of "Will of Fire" as its signature.

When a war breaks out between the two sides, they will often clear out all surrounding environments to avoid the loss of information such as whereabouts.

This kind of purge was undoubtedly cruel, and most people were killed directly.

This is also the sorrow of small countries, because they are the ones who are being purged.

If I remember correctly, the parents of Nagato, the future leader of Akatsuki, were killed by Konoha's ninjas in this way.

Mistakenly thinking he was an enemy, I killed him... Maybe that was just an excuse.

Diarmait slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, and a kind smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He said to Scorpion: "Don't be so wary. We are partners now, Scorpion..."

Scorpion listened to Diarmait's words, still feeling a little unhappy, and then said: "I just paid you to do it."

"It's the same for both sides, but you didn't give me any money. I'm supporting you free of charge with a spirit of selfless dedication, so you should be touched." Diarmait said with a smile.

Scorpion really didn't want to pay attention to this kind of sophistry, so he turned his head away and didn't look at Diarmait anymore.

Not far away, Kakuzu was sitting cross-legged and practicing. It was not unreasonable that the old bastard could survive for such a long time in the chaotic ninja world and experienced three wars.

Scorpion ignored him, but Diarmait had no intention of giving up. He walked a few steps forward, sat down next to Scorpion, and said, "I was wrong to damage your Scarlet Flowing Amber before. I was a bit too rough, but it all started because you used the Detonating Talisman on me first. I won't bother with you, and you shouldn't take it to heart. Let's get along well, shall we? What do you think of me? Do you think I look friendly?"

Scorpion was speechless. Was it because of Fei Liuhu? I just thought you were up to something, okay? What the hell was that?

"The Fei Liuhu wasn't broken at all. I just dispersed them on my own initiative. Don't underestimate my human puppetry." Scorpion said unhappily.

"Hahaha, I see, then I have no psychological burden, and I haven't caused you any loss. Is the Amber so strong? You are worthy of it. Now think about it, these are all art, you should be an artist, being a ninja is really a disadvantage." Diarmuid is shameless and has no moral integrity. He just licks it and that's it.

He has always been able to put down his airs when it comes to talented people.

Scorpion didn't react much to other words, but for some reason, the title of "artist" made him feel very happy, as if it spoke to his heart.

That’s right, Scorpion at this moment wasn’t as stubborn as he would be later, arguing endlessly with Deidara in the field of art. He hadn’t realized that he was actually still an artist.
