From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

Even someone like Hanzo is considered a 'demigod' at the pinnacle.

It is conceivable that they did not have a particularly clear understanding of the power of that period.

Even scorpions are no exception.

What's more, the first half of the ninja world was relatively normal, and it began to gain momentum in the middle period, and it seemed that all the masters became more and more powerful. But when the Fourth Ninja World War came, it was really a fight between gods.

In today's era, the more outstanding ninjas were just so-so in that war.

So Scorpion is now completely unable to understand Diarmait's meaning.

"Hmph, you're right. You're too narrow-minded. The art of human puppetry is a secret technique that makes you stronger with each battle. Every time you defeat a strong enemy, you can turn the enemy's power into your own use. It's just that you don't realize the power of this force right now." Scorpion said stubbornly.

Anyway, I am just a tsundere, and my puppetry is invincible!

Diarmait was silent for a moment, then looked at Scorpion with the eyes of a troubled child, and asked with emotion: "Speaking of this, have you heard of the Impure World Reincarnation technique?" "What turn? How to turn? Turn left or right?" Scorpion asked in confusion.

"It's Impure World Reincarnation, a technique that can resurrect the dead..." Diarmait said.

"Impossible! The taboo of life and death cannot be broken..." Scorpion suddenly reacted somewhat intensely.

Seeing his agitated expression, Diarmuid was somewhat surprised. However, it seemed that although the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, had been dead for a long time, his forbidden techniques had not yet been publicized. ...The Impure World Reincarnation Technique was unknown to the public.

I think the only one who still dares to study this technique now should be Orochimaru, the research maniac, right?

hair.

My impression is that because this technique is truly unfavorable, and Tobirama Senju developed it primarily to complement his other forbidden technique, the "Multiplication of Detonating Talismans Technique," it was barely usable and not explored in depth. Instead, it was Orochimaru, a man obsessed with the boundaries between life and death, who secretly took over the development of the "2.0" version of the Impure World Reincarnation technique. In fact, the Impure World Reincarnation technique that later flourished during the Ninja World War was actually perfected by Orochimaru. However, Orochimaru later failed to develop it, so it was Kabuto Yakushi who fully developed and promoted the technique.

He brought the industry of grave digging and tomb robbing to its peak and was considered the most powerful tomb raider.

Diarmait was thinking about the Impure World Reincarnation, but Scorpion calmed down a bit. He asked seriously, "Was what you just said true?"

"Hmm." Diarmait nodded gently, then said, "There is such a technique. It was developed by the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama. It can, to a certain extent, resurrect the dead. ...But it doesn't seem to be perfect yet. The idea you just mentioned about puppetry, how the more you fight, the stronger you become, can be achieved with the Impure World Reincarnation Technique, and it can do it even better..."

This is not to belittle puppetry, but it does have some meaning. Under normal circumstances, Scorpion would definitely argue with Diarmait.

But this time, he remained silent. After a long moment, he smiled to himself and said, "Those who play with life and death will inevitably be played with by life and death..."

Although his puppetry was a bit excessive and seemed inhumane, Scorpion had no intention of using puppetry to reverse life and death. After all, this was still within the scope of puppetry and did not really play with life and death, let alone involve the soul.

At most, I can force myself to prolong my life.

If I have to say, I can say that Scorpion has a lower bottom line than Orochimaru in this regard.

At the same time, Diarmait also realized why Scorpion was suddenly so excited. He thought that he must be thinking of his parents.

In Scorpion's heart, he must have always wanted to bring his parents back to life. He even had the opportunity to do so. After all, in the original story, he and Orochimaru worked together in the Akatsuki organization (bccj) for a period of time.

But in the end, Scorpion didn't do such a thing.

It seems that he still doesn't want to disturb the peace of his parents' souls in the Pure Land?

In the end, his puppetry never progressed beyond the stage of researching 'living puppets'. Perhaps it was because he had a bottom line on this?

It’s hard to judge anything. Everyone has different ideas, and even the concepts of life and death are not the same.

Seeing this, Diarmait didn't bring up the topic any further. Now he somewhat understood why the relationship between Scorpion and Orochimaru was not pleasant in the original story.

Maybe there is an irreconcilable conflict in concepts.

After sorting out all these messy emotions, Scorpion didn't want to talk about it anymore. He turned around and continued to work, starting to deal with Uchiha Kagami.

Diarmuid stood aside, stroking his chin, and then asked, "By the way, if I borrow the Sharingan, will it affect your work?"

"Aren't you talking nonsense? I just want to study this, okay?" Scorpion said unhappily.

After a brief pause, he asked curiously, "Why? From what you said, you are also interested in this Sharingan?"

"Yes, I'm interested." Diarmait nodded without hesitation.

He had never tried illusions blindly, fearing something unexpected might happen. Although Kakuzu and Scorpion should both know how to use them, Diarmait did not dare to let them experiment. After all, even though they could be considered companions now, their trust was not that deep. One of these two guys liked to exchange corpses for money, and the other liked to make human puppets.

Wow, my body should be valuable. With Kakuzu's eloquence, if he introduces it well, a high price will not be a problem.

Unfortunately, he also has the so-called "bloodline limit". When he was dealing with Uchiha Kagami that day, Sasori almost drooled at him.

If he asked the two of them to help test the illusion or something, Diarmait would really feel uneasy. He might open his eyes again and find himself turned into a human puppet.

Therefore, due to these concerns, Diarmait has not yet tasted the power of illusion.

What he is worried about now are illusions, some unconventional and miscellaneous techniques. On the contrary, he doesn't care about conventional and normal techniques.

After some actual comparisons, Diarmuid felt that his strength was not a problem in a head-on confrontation, especially the battle with Uchiha Kagami, which made him feel that he might have underestimated his own strength before.

Or maybe, in this era, it has not yet reached the point where cheaters are running around everywhere.

So there is no need to change the established plan. Try to make up for all your weaknesses about this world before those cheaters start to get excited.

Perfect and flawless, completely integrating the power system of this world.

This is Diarmait’s goal at this stage.

So the most effective way to make up for the flaws in illusion is to get yourself a Sharingan or something.

"It feels like it's exaggerated. Sharingan may be powerful, but didn't you kill that Uchiha Kagami in no time? For someone like you, Sharingan is not something worth paying special attention to, right?" Scorpion said with a little confusion after listening to Diarmait's words.

Diarmuid watched him fiddling with Uchiha Kagami's corpse, then he said, as if chatting, "That's simply because you haven't truly witnessed the power of the Sharingan. Uchiha Kagami... after all, is only just getting started."

"You talk as if you've seen it before," Scorpion responded casually.

But after a brief pause, he was stunned again, looked up at Diarmait and said, "Have you really seen it? That guy hasn't even opened his mouth yet, and you already know that the Sharingan has the level of Mangekyō... I didn't think much about it before, but now."

Diarmait thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "I think I've seen it before."

"Really? Is there anyone in the Uchiha clan who is stronger than Uchiha Kagami? That Uchiha Fugaku? Or that kid named Shisui?" Scorpion asked curiously.

"Neither. If I have to say, it would be Uchiha Madara." Diarmuid said after thinking for a while.

Red Sand Scorpion???

Scorpion looked Diarmait up and down, then said, "You are indeed a living person..."

"You're talking nonsense. Not everyone is interested in becoming a human puppet like you!" Diarmait said unhappily.

"But judging from your appearance, you look less than 30 years old. Have you ever seen Uchiha Madara? He died just a few years after Konoha established the village, right?" Scorpion said with some doubt.

Diarmait stroked his chin slightly and said in a solemn tone, "What you see may not be true. You think I'm under thirty, but in fact, my age is beyond your imagination. I have a lot of time to live, so you can observe me carefully. ... Hehehe."

Scorpion looked Diarmuid up and down again, but did not respond. Instead, he turned back to look at Uchiha Kagami's corpse and said, "Pay attention, I'm about to start."

Right

Chapter 484: Changes in the situation on the battlefield, Kakuzu's new mission.

For more than two months after that, Diarmuid followed Scorpion in this secret base to study the Sharingan and other related secrets.

Although these days are dull, they are indeed quite interesting.

The turmoil in the outside world and the chaotic Ninja War seemed to have no effect on them at all.

Just as Diarmait guessed, Scorpion might not have much interest in studying ninjutsu, but his ideas were very interesting and his basic knowledge was quite solid.

At the same time, as someone who can, to a certain extent, conduct scientific research with Orochimaru.

Maybe his level is not as high as Orochimaru's, but he should have no problem guiding Diarmait into the world.

After wandering outside for a while, Kakuzu rushed back today.

Although he looked exhausted, the smile in the corner of his eyes told you that he must have made a lot of money.

Neither Diarmuid nor Sasori knew that rumors were spreading that the Sandaime Kazekage, the genius puppeteer of the Sand Village, had passed away. Sasori, the Red Sand, had been removed from his missing status and labeled an S-rank renegade.

Goodness, I always thought that something happened between the Third Kazekage and Sasori.

In the end, it was Scorpion who became a traitor and killed the Third Kazekage!

At the same time, over the past two months, the war in the outside ninja world has become more intense. The Water Country, which had not yet participated, has now joined the war and declared war on the Fire Country. The two sides have been fighting continuously near the southeast coastline of the Fire Country.

As of now, the Fire Nation has not yet declared war on the Wind Nation, but the other three major powers have all declared war on the Fire Nation.

This means that Konoha has to use the strength of one village to fight against the three major ninja villages of Kumogakure, Iwagakure, and Mistgakure.

Fortunately, the other major powers are not pushovers either, and each of them is engaged in a melee.

While the Iwagakure Village was fighting with Konoha, it was also attacking the Sand Village and the Cloud Village.

The Hidden Cloud Village also fought a war on three fronts, first declaring war on the Hidden Sand Village, and then fighting with Konoha and the Hidden Rock Village.

That is the Water Country, which has only recently joined the war. Due to geographical factors, it is very different from the major powers on land and has not launched a multi-line war. Its main attack is on Konoha.

It can be said that with the five major countries involved in the war, the entire ninja world has become a mess.

I have to say that the Cloud Village's surprise attack on the Sand Village was really like Li Yunlong attacking Ping'an County, setting the entire war zone on fire.

"What are you wearing?" Kakuzu looked at Diarmait, whom he hadn't seen for more than two months, with a slightly surprised expression.

However, he vaguely felt that Diarmait seemed to have changed a little, and this change was indescribable... At this moment, Kakuzu's eyes lit up. Yes, it was the height. Diarmait's height seemed to have shrunk a little again?

What's the situation?

When we first met, this guy must have been about two meters twenty-three inches tall, but now, he is not particularly out of place.

Just as Kakuzu was stunned, Diarmait said with a smile, "How is it? Does it seem like my temperament has changed? No longer the boss of the gold exchange in the Bear Country, but a scientist who contributes to the development of mankind?"

As he said this, Diarmait turned around half a circle in a cocky manner.

That's right, at this time Diarmait was wearing a pair of plain glasses, which slightly concealed his heroic aura and made him look a little gentle. At the same time, he was not wearing the old suit of white short-sleeved shirt, long pants and military boots. Instead, he was wearing a white coat. From a distance, he looked very "educated", like a cultured person.

"If you want to change your image, please do it thoroughly, okay? You look weird." Kakuzu came back to his senses, glanced at Diarmait's waist, and complained.

Yes, it was indeed a bit out of place, because Diarmait was dressed like a "cultured man", but he actually had a heart ferry hanging around his waist.

It looked odd, but if you looked at it for a second, it felt mysterious and inexplicably powerful. "You don't understand fashion," Diarmait waved his hand dismissively, then asked, "Why are you back?" "I just had a job I couldn't handle alone," Kakuzu said.

Diarmait nodded, but before he could say anything, Kakuzu continued, "Before I came back, I went to the Bear Country. It's really strange. You've been away for so long, but your money exchange hasn't closed down yet. It seems to be doing very well and has accumulated a lot of money. I brought it all back..."

"Really?" Diarmuid was also a little surprised. Although he did not say that he would not continue to work in the very 'lucrative' industry of the gold exchange leader when he left.

But I thought that this place was full of all kinds of people, and none of them were good people. Who knows, as soon as I leave, someone will take over.

So, nothing has changed till now?

strangeness……

"How's the research going on here? Has that guy made the human puppet of the Sharingan? Maybe you don't know yet? Two more powerful Uchiha appeared on the battlefield, one is called Uchiha Fugaku, and the other is called Uchiha Shisui. Especially Uchiha Shisui, he seems to be only in his teens, still a kid, but very powerful, and is searching everywhere for information about Uchiha Kagami. Haha." Kakuzu smiled and said.

"What does he want from Uchiha Kagami?" Diarmuid asked curiously.
