From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

So Diarmait doesn't care how they define themselves, and he has no intention of getting along with you anyway.

Kakuzu glanced at Scorpion and found that Scorpion was also looking at him, and then they both laughed.

"Takigakure is a subordinate ally of Konoha. I am also an S-rank rebel ninja on Konoha's side and one of the targets that have been hunted down for years. Do you think I care?" Kakuzu said with a smile.

"I killed the Third Kazekage and turned the Third Raikage into a human puppet. What do you think?" Scorpion said with some amusement.

Yes, that’s right, from the perspective of the five major countries, there are no good people in their organization!

Does it make sense what type of 'organization' they identify it as?

Meaningless.

"In that case, why do we still care about these? If we want to do something, let's do it big. Don't we want to be the Daimyo of the Land of Earth? We will send him to the west, and then accept the 300 million yen. By then, the reputation and style of our Yorozuya will be established. We do things not based on the consequences, but on the money! As long as the money is in place, the Daimyo will kill you. I even think that once the five major countries can't do anything to us openly, the five major ninja villages may rush to find us for cooperation secretly if they encounter any difficulties in the future, hahahaha." Diarmait laughed.

"As long as the money's in place, I'll kill the Daimyo for you to see." Kakuzu murmured, repeating Diarmait's words. A glint in his eyes, he said, "Excellent, I like that. Indeed, if the Yorozuya truly has to have a style, I think this one suits us perfectly."

"Although I have the impression that the daimyo seems to be a very despicable person, I would also be interested if I could collect a human puppet of the daimyo." Scorpion said with a smile on his face.

Soon, the three of them reached a consensus on this issue and prepared to attack the Daimyo of the Land of Earth.

Afterwards, the three of them exchanged some tactics and ideas on this issue.

"Although the daimyo themselves don't have much strength, they are often protected by powerful ninjas..." said Kakuzu.

For example, the Land of Fire has the Twelve Guardian Ninjas. Asuma Sarutobi and Rikugoichi, who later died at the hands of Kakuzu, were both members of the Twelve Guardian Ninjas.

It's from the Land of Earth, and it's of similar nature.

"How powerful is it?" Scorpion suddenly said with a bit of disdain.

Kakuzu was stunned for a moment, but then he realized what was happening. He smiled and shook his head, saying, "That's right. There's no need to consider them at all."

With the strength of the three of them, anyone who dares to stop them will be killed.

In particular, Kakuzu recalled the overwhelming strength Diarmuid displayed against the Iwagakure Village when he killed the Raikage in the Land of Earth, and how thousands of ninjas were overwhelmed by him.

No matter how powerful the daimyo is, can he really run around with thousands of ninjas?

At most, there are more than a dozen experts protecting you closely, but more than a dozen... are really not enough.

"Kakuzu, you go and take this mission, and be high-profile. Just say that in order for Konoha to win the final war, to end the chaotic war in the ninja world as soon as possible, and for love and peace, our Yorozuya will destroy the Daimyo of the Land of Earth and make him wash his neck and wait for death." Diarmait said directly to Kakuzu.

"Are you so arrogant?" Kakuzu said with a smile.

"The more arrogant we are, the more we can demonstrate our strength." Diarmuid raised his eyebrows.

"Okay, I'll go now." Kakuzu has always been very proactive when it comes to making big money.

As he stood up, Diarmuid added, "By the way, send a letter to Orochimaru and ask him if he's interested in participating."

"I don't think so," Kakuzu said. Then, he smiled and said, "After he finds out, he might even quit our 'terrorist organization', right?"

"Don't worry, even if he is not interested, he will not quit." Diarmait smiled and waved his hand.

Soon, Kakuzu left here and prepared to take on this mission.

As soon as Kakuzu left, Diarmait seemed to remember something. He patted his head and said, "I forgot to ask him just now."

"What do you want to ask?" Scorpion stood up and responded to Diarmait as he walked towards the inner room.

Diarmait followed a few steps and asked, "Let's pack our things?"

"Well, this time we can try out the power of the Third Raikage." Scorpion said calmly.

"I'm also looking forward to seeing what he'll look like after becoming a human puppet." Diarmait nodded, then said, "By the way, do you know anything about the Akatsuki organization in the Rain Country that Kakuzu just mentioned?"

Upon hearing this, Scorpion turned to look at Diarmait and said, "I know a little."

The Land of Rain is in chaos now. During the entire Third Shinobi World War, except for the Land of Water and the Sand Village, which was beaten into a bad brother, the Hidden Cloud Village, Konoha, and the Hidden Rock Village all started wars here.

Even with the demigod Hanzo in charge, this country is still riddled with problems.

"Do you have spies over there?" Diarmait asked again.

Scorpion didn't deny anything and nodded, saying, "Yes, it was just a casual arrangement. For a while, I considered whether to live in seclusion in the Rain Country, so I took this opportunity to investigate the situation in the Rain Country. But the situation was very serious, and Hanzo the Salamander was not so easy to deal with, so in the end I chose the Bird Country."

"What is the current situation of Akatsuki and the Rain Country?" Diarmait asked after thinking for a while.

"Why are you interested in this organization? As far as I know, it's just a weird peace organization composed of a bunch of optimistic, hot-blooded idiots. The concepts and ideas they advocate are completely incredible. These guys don't know what a great power is. Their vision and pattern are all limited to the Rain Country. They think that they can realize the ideal of world peace by relying on communication between people. It's disgusting to think about it." Scorpion said with great disdain.

As a member of a high-ranking family in the Sand Village, Scorpion has witnessed many secrets since he was a child, so he has a better understanding of the so-called five major ninja villages and what the five major countries are like.

Not to say anything bad, but to say that they are the kind of people who can be moved by the concepts of 'communication, love and peace' is impossible.

Whether it's Nagato, Yahiko, or Konan, they would have this idea, and they could even organize a large number of people and forces in the Rain Country. Come to think of it, it's also related to their birthplace and everything they have experienced.

It is impossible for a small country to understand what a big country is thinking.

One could even say that they are somewhat escaping reality. Because they cannot achieve peace with their strength, they fantasize about being able to impress the powerful with words...

Looking at it from another perspective, this is actually no different from the weak seeking mercy from the strong.

Even if they really succeed, and one day the war stops because of these reasons, it will be nothing more than the mercy of the strong. When interests conflict again, this mercy will not be worth mentioning.

So Scorpion really looks down on this "Akatsuki organization".

That is to say, after the naive guy Yahiko died, Nagato began to turn evil and began to make the world feel pain. In fact, the influence of Akatsuki organization really expanded.

Even the five major countries have to pay attention to them.

You see, no one cares about the pacifist Akatsuki, and they themselves have even become tools of Shimura Danzo's conspiracy.

However, the terrorist Akatsuki can make the entire ninja world tremble.

Sometimes, reality is so ironic.

When you call for peace, no one pays attention to you and may even treat you as a fool. But when you start using violence, everyone is afraid of you.

"You don't have to say that, do you? Are you still disgusted? He is also fighting for his own ideals. I think maybe he doesn't agree with him in terms of ideas, but there is no need to say it so embarrassingly." Diarmuid said after thinking for a while.

Scorpion was stunned for a moment, then murmured, "Striving for your ideal?"

"Maybe." Scorpion finally responded. Although he didn't say anything, he seemed to be less contemptuous of Akatsuki.

Afterwards, he calmed down and said, "Regarding the situation in the Land of Rain, although Hanzo is known as a demigod, he is facing attacks from major powers, especially after the defeat in the last Ninja World War. Anyway, it seems that he is no longer able to survive..."

At this point, he hesitated and said, "I suspect it's because he's old, so his ambition is gone, and he just wants to hold on to the little power he has."

In the last Ninja World War, Hanzo of the Salamander was undoubtedly the protagonist. He represented the Rain Kingdom and declared war on the Wind Kingdom, the Fire Kingdom, and the Iron Kingdom at the same time.

Although he was defeated in the end, it must be said that he was an ambitious man at that time, and he almost brought the Rain Kingdom to the position of a great power.

And now, Hanzo is old... He has changed.

Chapter 501 Diarmuid: Find an opportunity to destroy Akatsuki in advance.

"During the last Ninja World War, Hanzo of the Salamander was still a broad-minded and magnanimous man. He has always had a good reputation in the Ninja World and is a guy who is willing to support younger ninjas. If you have to say, the three ninjas of Konoha were also supported by him." Scorpion said after thinking for a while.

"That's right." Diarmait nodded. This was exactly the same as the Salamander Hanzo he remembered.

"But after the failure of the last war, Hanzo of the Salamander seemed to have become a different person and started to become suspicious. Before, he was a very confident guy, but now, I heard that he has more than a dozen trusted ninjas protecting him 24 hours a day. You see, he is starting to get scared to death." Scorpion smiled again.

"It can be seen that his belief in being a demigod in the ninja world has been shaken." Diarmait said with a smile.

How strong is Hanzo of the Salamander?

Generally speaking, it can be divided into two stages. The first stage was when he had great ambitions. Hanzo at that time was really strong. Relying on the small country of Rain Country, he led a group of ninjas and was able to earn the title of "Demi-God". He was recognized by the ninja world and the five major ninja villages, and he was even one step away from leading Rain Country to become a big country.

This must be very strong.

During the Second Shinobi World War, Jiraiya, Tsunade, Orochimaru and a large group of Konoha ninjas attacked him alone, but he didn't even lose a hair. It was a completely crushing victory.

This is enough to prove that he possessed overwhelming strength at that time.

According to the information, the only time Hanzo was defeated in his lifetime was at the hands of Nagato. The moment of defeat, 12 meant death.

In other words, before this, Hanzo had fought countless battles with the five major ninja villages, and had never lost once!

The title of demigod is well-deserved.

But after the Second Shinobi World War ended with the defeat of the Rain Country, Hanzo of the Salamander seemed like a different person. Perhaps he was hit too hard, and he went from being extremely confident to being extremely suspicious.

The magnanimity he had during his confident period also disappeared, and he was no longer as tolerant as before.

In the past, he had spared the Iron Country General, Mifune, and later the Sannin on the battlefield out of faith and admiration.

But later, simply because of the threat that Akatsuki might bring to his power in the Rain Country, he chose to join forces with Danzo and plot to assassinate Akatsuki.

The transformation here is extremely exaggerated.

It also represents the fall of a generation of demigods. Ever since the Rain Country was defeated, the demigods who once held up the sky of the Rain Country have died. The only one who survived is the one who lost his faith, Hanzo of the Salamander... just a remnant of the old era.

Afterwards, Scorpion briefly described the current situation of the Rain Kingdom.

That is the Akatsuki organization, which he despised very much. In this devastated country, it has developed very rapidly and its scale has become increasingly larger.

And Hanzo, the legitimate leader of the Rain Country, seems to have begun to have doubts about the Akatsuki organization.

"If this continues, I think Hanzo of the Salamander will definitely take action against the Akatsuki organization. With Hanzo's current mentality, he will not tolerate anyone threatening his power and status in the Rain Country." Scorpion said.

"And according to the situation you described, Akatsuki has actually reached a point where it has no choice but to launch a rebellion?" Diarmait asked after thinking for a moment.

"That's about right. As they grow bigger and bigger, their demands will inevitably increase dramatically. The Rain Country is so small. If Akatsuki wants to become a 'peace envoy' that can represent the Rain Country and communicate with other big countries, then it must first expand its influence and even power in the Rain Country. If it can't even represent the Rain Country, how can it be qualified to communicate with the big countries? So from this point of view, they do have a conflict of interest with Hanzo. If it were the demigod of that year who was able to tolerate others, perhaps Hanzo would choose to join forces with them, but now, Hanzo has changed... Just wait and see. Now, because there are external forces wrestling in the Rain Country, these internal contradictions will not erupt. Once this Ninja World War is over and the Iwagakure Village and Konoha have decided the winner, the civil war in the Rain Country will immediately break out." Scorpion analyzed.

Diarmait knew that these things would indeed happen later, but at this moment he looked at Scorpion with surprise.

It's not because of anything else, but because he discovered a new talent of Scorpion. This guy is worthy of being a "high-ranking official's child". His perspective and vision on things are very accurate!

He has great talent for strategic analysis. If he were in the navy back then, Diarmait would definitely have assigned him to the intelligence department.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Scorpion frowned slightly.

"Hahahaha, I discovered a new talent of yours. From now on, I can ask you to help me analyze the situation in the ninja world. Not bad." Diarmait laughed.

After laughing, Diarmait asked again: "Based on your deduction, who do you think will win?"

"Why are you asking this? Are you interested in the Rain Country?" Scorpion asked back.

"You can't say I'm not interested. Although the Rain Kingdom's three battles left it in ruins, it also highlights their advantages. It's convenient to go anywhere. On the contrary, the Bird Kingdom is comfortable, but... Tsk tsk, do you understand the principle that a kingdom cannot be content with half its territory? If you want to stir up trouble and accomplish things, you can't put yourself in a comfortable environment, otherwise the environment will affect your 'heart'." Diarmait said with a smile.

"Maybe." Scorpion thought for a moment and said.

Originally, he chose the Bird Kingdom just for the sake of peace and security, so as not to be swept up by the chaos in the Rain Kingdom. In essence, Scorpion didn't intend to do anything big.

Looking at Diarmait's attitude now, it seems that there will be signs of trouble in the future. Anyway, Diarmait is the boss now, so he won't ask any more questions.
