From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

"I thought you knew everything. Strange." Kakuzu smacked his lips, then continued, "The money changers, hired ninjas, smugglers, weapons dealers, black marketeers, and all sorts of criminals, dark walkers, form a vast network on the other side of this world. We usually call it the 'shadow side' or the 'dark world'. I don't need to explain these things, you should understand, right?"

There was no surprise in Diarmait's eyes. As expected, no matter what world it was, it was all made up of light and shadow.

This is true for One Piece and also for Naruto.

Even the original Earth was similar. Although he was just an ordinary person at that time and had no access to these things, he vaguely knew that there was something like the dark web.

The properties are the same.

"Ninja itself is not a very bright profession, so in places where darkness breeds, there is no shortage of self-proclaimed righteous ninjas from the five major countries. Coincidentally, Orochimaru is a very famous guy in the dark world. You can try to contact him through the dark world. Of course, whether he is interested in responding to you is another matter." Kakuzu explained to Diarmait.

Orochimaru is indeed very famous in the dark world, because he always buys all kinds of strange things in the dark world and is very generous.

At the same time, he would occasionally sell some of the technologies he had researched...

He himself looked down upon those technologies, but they might be of great use to those who needed them. Moreover, the ninjas from various small countries were not treated as well as the five major countries, so how could they be picky?

For big guys like Orochimaru, any fart they make smells good.

"Is there such a thing?" Diarmait's eyes lit up, and then he said to Kakuzu, "Then use your connections. You are very familiar with the dark world. Please help me contact Orochimaru and tell him that I want to invite him to study science together." "Science?" Kakuzu was a little confused. Shouldn't he say ninjutsu?

"You have no evidence to support your claim. It's not appropriate." Kakuzu said after thinking for a moment.

Diarmait thought for a while and said to Kakuzu, "Come on, follow me to the laboratory." "What for?" Kakuzu asked curiously.

"Draw a tube of my blood and find a way to get it to Orochimaru. If that guy is really capable of finding the problem in it, he will definitely be interested in me. Then I don't have to worry about him not coming." Diarmait said with a smile.

Diarmait himself could not feel anything, but he knew very well that he possessed the power of immortality. He did not know the principle of this power of immortality, nor was he interested in knowing.

But this power provides him with strong enough vitality. At the same time, this blood must have some influence, which is different from that of ordinary people, so a tube can be sent to Orochimaru.

If he could really discover something, given his pursuit of immortality, he would definitely not let it go. By then, he might even come here on his own accord without Diarmuid urging him.

Diarmuid didn't care much about Orochimaru's strength, so there was no need to worry about him taking over.

He also believed that Orochimaru should be a smart person.

I won't do anything irrational...

This is a good comrade, we must get him. With him, many problems can be solved easily.

Even Diarmait now thinks that he and Orochimaru have exactly the same pursuits!

Orochimaru wanted to study the power of Wood Release, and so did Diarmait. Orochimaru wanted to study the power of the Sharingan and obtain the power of the Sharingan, and so did Diarmait.

Orochimaru wants to learn all the ninjutsu in the world and pursue the ultimate truth of ninjutsu. Although Diarmait is not as stubborn as him, he also wants to master more 2.9 ninjutsu. It would be great if he could learn them all.

Orochimaru wants immortality... well, Diarmait already has that.

Orochimaru has a grudge against Konoha, and so does Diarmait.

Orochimaru likes to do research, and Diarmuid is happy to support him in his research, and is even willing to work with him...

Orochimaru likes to study bloodline limits, and so does Diarmait!

When you think about it this way, Orochimaru, apart from not being a good person, is simply a perfect tool for Diarmait!

But then I thought, Orochimaru is not a good person, so could it be that I, Diarmuid, am one?

Me too!

Yes, we get along! We definitely get along!

We must win this little friend over.

Soon, Diarmait gave Kakuzu a tube of his own blood. Although Kakuzu felt it was troublesome, he still agreed to help and asked Diarmait to make preparations early. When he came back, it was time to set off for the Land of Earth.

When Kakuzu went to find someone to contact Orochimaru, Diarmuid also asked Scorpion if he wanted to go out and have some fun together to change his mood.

But it is obvious that Scorpion is a little autistic now. He doesn't want to go anywhere and wants to fight to the death with Uchiha Kagami's corpse until the corpse is completely destroyed.

Seeing this, Diarmuid didn't say much, but just warned Scorpion not to destroy the Sharingan in anger, as he wanted to collect it and study it...

Chapter 486: Orochimaru: I have no grudge against you, why are you making fun of me like this?

Diarmuid and Kakuzu were standing on the cliffs of a canyon in the Land of Earth.

About a month had passed since they arrived in the Land of Earth.

During this month, they all accepted employment from the Hidden Rock Village and harassed the raiding forces from the Hidden Cloud Village along the way.

This canyon was the place where the decisive battle was deduced by Diarmait more than two days ago based on various intelligence and his original understanding. If nothing unexpected happens, the Third Raikage should have a life-and-death battle with more than 10,000 ninjas here.

Kakuzu stood beside Diarmait, looked around, frowned slightly, and said, "Why don't you continue the mission? You can settle the payment again based on the amount of armor you captured."

Diarmuid felt a little annoyed when he heard his conclusion of being so greedy for money. He then said, "Come to think of it, if you like money so much, why don't you just rob people? With your ability, it would be much faster to make money than doing quests, right?"

Kakuzu was silent for a moment, then continued, "A gentleman loves money but earns it in a proper way."

"Hey..." Diarmait spat into the canyon.

Kakuzu???

Are you insulting me?

Diarmait felt insulted by the horns. "You call this a gentleman? You're also doing it in a proper way? What gentleman would collect corpses for money?"

You've done a lot of dirty and tiring work, right?

However, Kakuzu was still in a good mood and didn't pay any attention to Diarmait's attitude. Instead, he continued to ask, "What are you going to do?"

"After a while, we may be able to see a good show. These days, I have been studying the war situation between the Hidden Rock Village and the Hidden Cloud Village. I found a problem, that is, we have been delayed for a month, but the front-line troops of the Hidden Cloud Village have not come back to support. On the contrary, the Hidden Cloud Village is fighting more and more smoothly, and now they have penetrated deep into the heart of the 12 Earth Kingdoms. Don't you think it's strange?" Diarmait said with a smile.

"What's so strange about it? I'm not interested. As long as you can give me the money, it's fine." Jiao Du said calmly.

The corner of Diarmait's mouth twitched slightly. He had originally wanted to show off to Kakuzu, analyze the situation here, and then guide him to the final outcome. Once everything became a reality, wouldn't his image be that of a 'wise man' and a 'strategist'?

As a result, that bastard Kakuzu didn't respond at all, which made people feel very uncomfortable.

However, the bullying had already begun, so Diarmuid decided to play it safe and ignored Kakuzu, continuing, "I suspect this is a strategic ploy by the Iwagakure Village. The Kumogakure Village's troops have been directed in this direction for the past few days, and from my observations, this is clearly a dangerous place. If the Kumogakure Village were to encounter a large-scale Iwagakure Village force here, they would be exhausted after a long raid. Furthermore, the Iwagakure Village, being at home, would be well-rested and could easily defeat the entire Kumogakure Village assault force in one fell swoop. Then, if the Third Raikage and all these Kumogakure Village ninjas were killed here, the Iwagakure Village could be declared victorious in the war against the Kumogakure Village."

Kakuzu???

I didn't ask, why are you talking to yourself?

I'm not curious at all, okay?

Even though he was thinking this, Diarmait's words were indeed a bit far-fetched. Kakuzu thought about it carefully and found that this was indeed possible. He then said in surprise, "So you want to wait here for them to kill us all, and then we go down to collect the forehead protectors?"

What the hell is this forehead protector!

"I came here for the Third Raikage and hope to get his body." Diarmait said.

He finally thought about it and found that it was almost impossible to capture the Third Raikage alive, and even capturing the Kage of any major ninja village alive was unrealistic.

It's not a question of strength, but these people should all be very moral. For people of their status, dying in battle is much more glorious than being captured. Once you try to capture them alive, they might end up killing themselves.

As the village's shadow, it was perfectly reasonable for him to carry some kind of restriction that could instantly kill him when necessary.

So Diarmuid thought about it again and again and decided to kill the Third Raikage here, take his body back, and then see if Orochimaru could help or something.

Thinking of this, Diarmuid asked again, "Hasn't there been any news from Orochimaru yet?"

"No, perhaps your inexplicable actions are meaningless and he has no interest in you." Kakuzu shook his head, then said, "In my opinion, it would be better to find out his information and capture him directly."

"If his information and whereabouts were so easy to find, I would have gone to his house to kill him long ago." Diarmait complained.

Orochimaru is considered the best escape master in the ninja world.

After he defected from Konoha, Jiraiya and Konoha had been hunting him down for years, but they couldn't find a single hair of him.

Later, he joined Akatsuki, caused trouble in Akatsuki, and then defected again. Sasori and others wanted to kill Orochimaru, but they could never catch him.

Later, in the ninja world, Orochimaru had been at war with various forces for many years. There were many people who could kill him, but there were almost no people who could find him and do that.

In other words, this guy was too reckless and ended up dying at the hands of Sasuke.

I thought he was done for, but he came back to life and survived until the end without any harm, and even cleared himself.

This life is truly wonderful.

Diarmait's current sources of information mainly rely on Kakuzu who is traveling outside and the intelligence master Scorpion.

As for Kakuzu, he basically only pays attention to news that can make money.

Scorpion, maybe there should be some hope, but he was fighting with Uchiha Kagami's corpse before, and he became autistic...

Therefore, Diarmuid still has no intelligence ability. In his current state, it is basically a pipe dream for him to want to find Orochimaru who has not betrayed Konoha.

"That guy really didn't find anything wrong, right? Is there anything wrong with my blood?" Diarmuid touched his chin and said.

He had only made a rough guess and had no concrete evidence to prove that his blood was special. Now that Orochimaru hadn't made any move, Diarmuid was feeling unsure. What should he do?

How about trying again without the Sharingan?

But think about it, Orochimaru probably has no interest in the Sharingan right now, right?

My impression is that Orochimaru became interested in the Sharingan after the end of the Third Shinobi World War and before the incident when he was secretly studying it. He happened to see the training of the little brat Uchiha Itachi, and this sparked his interest in the Sharingan.

At first, it was just an interest, but when he really started to study it, he became crazy about the Sharingan, so much so that he eventually fell into Sasuke's hands.

At present, Uchiha Itachi is at most five years old, the war is not over yet, and Orochimaru may not have activated his obsession with the Sharingan yet.

Therefore, this plan is probably not feasible.

Just as Diarmait was thinking about all this, Kakuzu suddenly asked, "Are you really coming?"

Upon hearing this, Diarmait followed Kakuzu's gaze and saw that there was indeed a large group of people, forming a military formation, rushing towards them, and their direction just happened to conflict with the assault force of the Hidden Cloud Village.

If nothing unexpected happens, this is probably the finale of the Iwagakure Village.

"Judging from the scale, there are almost 10,000 people." Kakuzu said again.

After a brief pause, he glanced at Diarmait and said, "It seems your inference is correct. The Hidden Rock Village is indeed planning to annihilate the Hidden Cloud Village's manpower here... So what should we do?"

"They should set up a barrier here later to hide their aura or something. Let's hide here first. After they have a huge fight with the Hidden Cloud Village, we can come out and pick the peaches at the end." Diarmait said with a smile.

Kakuzu nodded, then walked away with Diarmait.

With more than 10,000 people hiding here, there must be sensory ninjas in the Hidden Cloud Village, so if they want to hide, they must set up a large-scale barrier to block their perception.

Diarmait didn't want to get involved, so he left with Kakuzu. The battle would last for three days and three nights anyway, so he was not in a hurry at all.

At the same time, in the Land of Fire, Konohagakure Village.

It is still the secret base of the Root organization and still Orochimaru's scientific research laboratory.
