From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

Anyway, there are aliens in this world.

"Ever since a long time ago, when you started talking about the power of Haki, I've been a little skeptical. After all, I, Kakuzu, have traveled all over the ninja world. For decades, even from various rumors and ancient secrets, there has never been such a power called Haki. And at the beginning, your height was also very strange. You went from more than two meters to your normal appearance now, so I was very surprised. So, based on what you said now, you are not from this world?" Kakuzu thought for a while and said.

Scorpion finally reacted, wow, it turns out that not only are you not my age, you're not even from our world?

Orochimaru also seemed very interested and asked directly, "What other worlds are there?"

"To be precise, it's a planet," Diarmait said. After a brief pause, he continued, "The Ninja World, the world you know, is actually a planet. Just like the stars in the sky, the universe is filled with countless planets. Some planets also give birth to life and form unique civilizations. I come from a world full of oceans. You may find it a little incredible to say this, but before coming here, I was a righteous admiral of the navy..."

"What is a navy admiral?" Scorpion asked curiously.

However, it was obvious that Kakuzu and Orochimaru had no interest in these things at all. Kakuzu was not even interested in Diarmait's identity as an alien. He didn't care whether he was an alien or not. As long as he could make money, it was fine. Anyway, he felt good getting along with Diarmait.

As for Orochimaru, he doesn't care about justice or the background of that world at all. He only cares about the issue of immortality.

Before Diarmuid could explain his 'noble' status to Scorpion, Orochimaru said directly, "Let's not talk about the admiral thing for now, let's talk about immortality."

"Alright." Diarmait stopped talking and said to Scorpion, "After we go down, I'll tell you about it alone. I'm a legendary figure over there."

After responding with a few words, Diarmait continued, "In our world, the ocean is incredibly vast. Our world is also much larger than this one, even in terms of the size of the planets. In any case, there are many treasures in the ocean, one of which is called the Fountain of Youth. According to legend, anyone who drinks from the fountain will gain eternal youth and everlasting life. Facts have proven this rumor to be true, because I, a humble person, am the one who drank from the Fountain of Youth..."

"I see." There was a hint of understanding in Orochimaru's eyes, as if he had accepted this setting, but looking at his hesitant look, Diarmuid knew that he must be doubting it.

Nonsense. After all, if someone suddenly appears and tells you that he is an alien, he is immortal, and he has the fountain of youth, any normal person would doubt it!

Diarmait smiled and said, "You must have doubts, but I can tell you clearly that there is an even more amazing alien in the ninja world, named Kaguya Ōtsutsuki. I wonder if you have heard of her story?"

Scorpion and Horn both shook their heads, indicating that they had never heard of such a name.

Orochimaru thought for a long time, then said, "I have some impression. She seems to be a mythical figure from ancient times, right? She was called the 'Goddess of the Rabbit'? I don't know much else."

That’s right, at this point in time, there are not many traces of Kaguya Otsutsuki, who once dominated the entire world, and the only person she is obsessed with is Hei Jutsu.

Everything about her has become a myth, and even then, much has been lost. Only a few words and descriptions of her have been passed down.

Orochimaru is a very knowledgeable guy, and he actually knows some information?

Diarmuid nodded at him and said, "Yes, the Goddess of the Rabbit. Princess Kaguya is Kaguya Ōtsutsuki. She may not be well-known now, but you should all be familiar with her son, the Sage of Six Paths..."

"Six Paths Sage!?" Orochimaru exclaimed in surprise. Before anyone else could speak, he continued, "Isn't this also a myth?"

There are far more stories about the Six Paths Sage than what Kaguya recorded, and many people even believe that he really exists.

The Hidden Cloud Village also possesses some Six Paths Ninja Tools.

This seems to indirectly confirm these, but there has always been controversy in the ninja world about whether the Six Paths Sage actually exists.

As a big shot in the scientific community, Orochimaru didn't really believe it, but now that Diarmuid suddenly mentioned the Six Paths Sage's mother, he felt... very strange.

"No, whether it's Kaguya or the Six Paths Sage, they both exist. Kaguya Ōtsutsuki is an alien who arrived here thousands of years ago. However, unlike me, she doesn't come from the same place. Later, she once ruled this world and was called the 'Goddess of the Rabbit.' With the blessing of the world and everyone, she gave birth to two children, one named Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo and the other named Ōtsutsuki Hamura. Due to issues related to their ideologies, the three of them had disputes and conflicts, and later the two brothers joined forces to seal the Goddess of the Rabbit." Diarmuid said with a smile...

"Sealed? Where is it?" Orochimaru asked curiously, as if he was preparing to do some archaeological research to see whether it was true or not.

Diarmait raised his hand and pointed upwards, then said, "The moon, you may not believe it, but in fact, the moon of this world only appeared because of the seal of Kaguya Ōtsutsuki. The entire moon is her seal, and it has been like this for thousands of years..."

"Is she still alive?" Kakuzu suddenly asked.

"Well, there is no power in this world that can kill her. And she is an immortal being just like me. She has been sealed in the moon for thousands of years. It's quite pitiful to think about it..." Diarmait said with a smile.

"How do you know all this?" Orochimaru suddenly asked again.

"Secret." Diarmait said directly.

Seeing this, Orochimaru didn't pursue the issue any further. After all, everyone has their own secrets, and asking further would be tactless.

Although what Diarmuid said now seemed very convincing, there was no concrete evidence after all. Orochimaru was still skeptical and did not take it seriously.

"The Senju, Uchiha, and Hyuga clans all share the same origin and are all offshoots of Kaguya. If you research their bloodline relationships, you might find some clues," Diarmuid suddenly said. This was relatively strong evidence. Orochimaru was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "I'll find a chance to verify it."

"Oh, yes, there's also the Kaguya clan of the Hidden Mist Village in the Land of Water. As their name suggests, they have indeed inherited Kaguya's bloodline," Diarmait said with a smile. Scorpion pondered for a moment before saying, "According to you, they're all one family?" "That's right," Diarmait said calmly.

"Okay, I'm just telling you all this, but it's all true, and time will prove it all. The current ninja world is just the beginning of chaos... In the years to come, things will become more and more interesting." Diarmuid said with a smile.

"It will become more and more dangerous, right?" Kakuzu said.

"Is this the reason why you said before that you wanted to pursue power?" Orochimaru also asked.

Orochimaru didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that if he considered it from this perspective, Diarmait's pursuit of power was to resist future changes, then what he said before would be more credible. Diarmait didn't expect them to be so perceptive, but he nodded calmly and said, "That's right."

"Interesting..." Orochimaru murmured, then stopped dwelling on the question and said directly: "Forget it, the world of the sea or the Goddess of the Rabbit have nothing to do with me for the time being. In comparison, you are more interesting. The Fountain of Youth... Do you still have any left?"

“No.” Diarmuid shook his head, then said: “I did have it originally, but I came to this world by accident, so I didn’t bring it with me.” Orochimaru???

Suddenly I felt like I missed out on 100 million!!!

Of course, these were just excuses. Diarmait himself had no intention of bringing the Fountain of Youth with him. What if it failed to work in another place? Wouldn't that be embarrassing?

Moreover, before coming here, he had to face an unknown world and unknown forces. Carrying such a 'precious treasure' would be like being innocent but guilty. What if something went wrong and he ended up in a very powerful world? Wouldn't he be in trouble? With a slight sense of regret, Orochimaru shook his head and said, "Then it seems I'll have to study this from you. ...After dinner, please cooperate with me and let me draw another tube of blood. If possible, I'd also like some of your body tissue..."

"It's no problem for me to cut off two ounces of meat for you." Diarmait waved his hand generously, as if the body was not his own.

Orochimaru nodded in satisfaction. He just liked Diarmait's boldness!

Right

Chapter 496 As long as the amount of chakra is large enough, you can use the lightning version of Susanoo!

For a full six months, Orochimaru had been studying the so-called "immortality" with Diarmait.

During the past six months, the Ninja World War has been raging. The Battle of Kannabi Bridge has not yet broken out, but according to some information and intelligence obtained by Kakuzu and Sasori, Konoha has been unable to bear this long war, and there is also a serious anti-war sentiment in the village.

I don't know if it's someone's doing, but the Sandaime Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, is currently under a lot of pressure, as many villagers feel that his position as Hokage will only plunge the village into war and that he won't make any outstanding contributions.

This is actually a pain point for Sarutobi Hiruzen. There is no way around it because the two Hokage before him were too awesome.

Hashirama Senju was invincible in the ninja world and forced other major powers to bow their heads and call him daddy and sign a peace agreement. At the same time, Hashirama Senju was also the founder of Konoha and ended the Warring States Period.

Status, position, achievements and accomplishments are all there.

The Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, was the true heir to his elder brother's legacy. He was also very capable in domestic affairs, establishing numerous new systems within Konoha that fundamentally changed the village's initial barbaric environment and initially realized a social structure where the elderly had a place to rely on and the young had a place to be raised.

In addition, the Second Hokage was also one of the founders of the village and had a very high prestige. If he had not accidentally fallen into the hands of the Hidden Cloud Village, he might have been able to serve as Hokage for decades.

Anyway, the contribution of the Second Hokage is obvious to all.

On the contrary, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was appointed to the position in a critical moment, did not make any particularly eye-catching contributions after becoming the Third Hokage.

But this does not mean that Sarutobi Hiruzen is a loser, because the situation is different. No matter who becomes the Third Hokage, it will probably be the same. The times are different, and the historical mission is also different. The Third Hokage no longer needs to fight as hard as the previous two generations of Hokage, and it is indeed not appropriate to do so.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's original plan was to further sort out the various systems and problems within Konoha in detail, so as to resolve the increasingly sharp internal contradictions, such as the Uchiha clan.

However, the sudden outbreak of war disrupted his plan and forced Konoha into the war, which made Sarutobi Hiruzen very annoyed.

We have been fighting for more than a year now, but have not achieved any results. We have basically not gained any war dividends, and the village’s economy has seriously declined due to the long war.

The villagers' dissatisfaction with him is also increasing.

There is another group hiding in the dark and spreading rumors everywhere to guide the fishing boats to cause trouble. Anyway, Sarutobi Hiruzen is now in a difficult situation.

It was in such a background that the Third Shinobi World War ended. Although Konoha was clearly the victorious country, Sarutobi Hiruzen had to resign from the position of the Third Hokage to calm the public anger.

But because of this, he finally decided to choose Minato Namikaze to be the Fourth Hokage, because Minato Namikaze was a civilian ninja and did not have so many conflicts of interest. At the same time, he also inherited the ideas of the Hokage lineage. In addition, Minato was also a gentle and honest person, so Sarutobi Hiruzen was very optimistic about him.

It can also be seen from here that in his heart, Sarutobi Hiruzen still hopes to solve the various problems in the village with less radical means in the end.

Minato Namikaze is a person he entrusts with great hopes, and he also expects Minato Namikaze to lead Konoha to a better future.

Then... things went against his wishes. Minato Namikaze hadn't even had time to warm his seat as the Fourth Hokage when he died because of the Nine-Tails Rebellion.

Afterwards, Sarutobi Hiruzen came to power again. This time, he did realize his political ambitions. However, because of the Nine-Tails Rebellion, he ultimately chose to ignore the demise of the Uchiha clan and allowed the conspiracy to happen.

But it was also after the collapse of the Uchiha clan that the internal conflicts in Konoha were greatly eased. Under the leadership of Sarutobi Hiruzen, the clan began to prosper and the living standards of the villagers improved rapidly. So from a macro perspective, Sarutobi Hiruzen was still quite qualified as the third generation.

At this stage, with the anti-war sentiment becoming increasingly serious, Sarutobi Hiruzen must resolve the war as soon as possible. If Kannabihashi's secret plan succeeds, it may greatly accelerate the end of the war.

Later, facts proved that this was indeed the case. The victory in the Battle of Kannabi Bridge resulted in the Iwagakure Village no longer having the strength and support logistics to launch a long-range attack on Konoha.

The stalemate in the war in Konoha was greatly eased. After that, the Water Country staged a conspiracy, which led to the death of Nohara Rin and the darkening of Uchiha Obito. There was not much change in the war.

After this conspiracy was completed, the Third Shinobi World War ended unclearly and with all countries not quite convinced.

So at this stage, Konoha has already begun planning the Battle of Kannabi Bridge.

During the past six months, Minato Namikaze did not delay on this matter. On the contrary, with the powerful Flying Thunder God Technique, Minato Namikaze was able to provide rapid support on various battlefields.

The yellow flashing Daimyo completely overwhelms the ninja world.

At present, all countries have made relevant changes. For example, if you encounter a yellow flash, you can directly declare to give up the mission without being punished.

Perhaps Sarutobi Hiruzen also realized the change in the situation. On the one hand, he fully withstood all the criticisms in the village, and on the other hand, he began to frantically build momentum for Minato Namikaze.

In addition to Minato's outstanding performance on the front line, it is worth mentioning that in more than half a year, Namikaze Minato, a civilian ninja, has accumulated a lot of popularity and support in Konoha.

This made Shimura Danzo, who was hiding in secret, very angry. He frantically searched for Orochimaru, wanting to bring Orochimaru out to fight against Minato Namikaze, in order to suppress Minato Namikaze, and preferably help Orochimaru take the position.

As a result, Orochimaru was as good as dead, and there was no trace of him anywhere.

Sometimes Danzo would suddenly wake up in the middle of the night, and would curse Orochimaru, the bastard, before he could continue sleeping.

It is conceivable how angry Orochimaru is now.

On the other hand, Diarmait has been studying all aspects of ninjutsu for more than six months, especially the Lightning Release Ninjutsu he learned from the Third Raikage.

In the Land of Birds, in the mountains and forests near Scorpion's secret base, Kakuzu is wearing his lightning armor and looks very majestic.

That's right, after more than half a year of study, Kakuzu successfully mastered the Lightning Release Armor technique. In fact, to be more precise, this should be called the "Lightning Release Chakra Mode".

Of course, this was just the beginning, because after in-depth study and research, the four of them came to the same conclusion. ...Oh, right, Scorpio can't learn it.

But he also gave relatively good reference opinions.

The Lightning Chakra mode is actually a kind of "health-preserving" technique. Using Lightning Chakra over the years can continuously stimulate the activity of cells in the body, thereby continuously improving physical fitness.

So unlike other techniques, such as Fire Style and Fireball, everyone can learn it, and then based on the amount of chakra, we can compare who is stronger in this technique.

The Lightning Chakra Mode is not. If you really want to count it, then perhaps it can be described by the concept of "whoever practices longer is stronger."

Because the longer you practice, the deeper the level of body activation will be, and the stronger your physical fitness will naturally be. On the contrary, if the time is short, there will be deficiencies in all aspects.

Just like Kakuzu, he has now also learned this Lightning Release Chakra mode, but if he were to face the surviving Third Raikage, he would probably still be beaten to the point of crying for his father.

But, the truth is this.

Kakuzu thought about this and looked up at Diarmait in the distance. He felt something was a little strange. We all learned the same technique, so why are you so good?

Is this still the Lightning Chakra Mode? Or the Lightning Armor Technique?

Following Kakuzu's line of sight, one could see Diarmuid also practicing in the distance.
