From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

After a moment of silence, Scorpion said, "I think Hanzo will win."

Diarmait raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why?"

"Because... this is too obvious. I don't see any chance of the Akatsuki organization winning at all. Who is their leader? What's his name? I think it's Yahiko? He has no fame at all and just relies on his mouth to fool people. On the contrary, although Hanzo has fallen into depravity in my eyes, he is still the demigod after all. His spirit may be gone, but his strength should still be there. He may not be able to muster the ambition to continue fighting the five major countries, but if he wants to deal with a small figure within the organization, I think it should be no problem." Scorpion thought for a while and spoke.

As soon as he finished speaking, Diarmait patted his shoulder and said, "Young man, you are still young. I'm afraid you don't understand that the strongest person in the ninja world is his mouth..."

scorpion???

"What on earth are you asking these questions for?" Scorpion asked impatiently.

"Whether it's Hanzo of the Salamander or the Akatsuki organization, I think they are both troublesome. What do you think about us finding an opportunity, when there is internal turmoil between them, catching them all in one fell swoop, killing them all, and seizing the Rain Kingdom as our base?" Diarmait asked with a raised eyebrow.

Scorpion was slightly surprised, then said, "With just the four of us, what kind of foundation do we need? Besides, Orochimaru rarely stays here permanently. Even this base feels a bit too big, okay?"

"There are four now, but it may not be the case in the future. Whatever we do, we need certain resources to support it. Forget about the five major countries. If there is the Rain Country, it will be of great benefit to us. For example, if you want to collect some rare materials, how can you do it now? It's nothing more than buying them at a high price on the black market, right?" Diarmait said.

"Yes, what's wrong?" Scorpion asked.

"But if we can seize and control the Rain Kingdom, then we can use the manpower and material resources of the Rain Kingdom to collect these materials as quickly as possible, right? Isn't it more appropriate than fighting alone?" Diarmait said with a smile.

"What you said seems to make sense..." Scorpion said after thinking for a while.

But soon, he looked at Diarmait with suspicion. Although what Diarmait said was correct, he had a feeling that this guy had other intentions. …

"What are you looking at?" Diarmait glared at Scorpion.

"You must have other intentions..." Scorpion said suddenly, but halfway through his words, he shook his head and said, "But it doesn't matter."

After saying that, Scorpion turned and walked into the inner room and began to pack his "luggage".

Diarmait stood at the door, stroking his chin and looking at the guy with a smile.

I have to say that Scorpio is indeed very smart and perceptive.

He did have another idea, which was to seize Nagato... no, it should be said that it was Uchiha Madara's Rinnegan, and use it to study this guy's eyes.

See if you can crack it.

At this stage, Uchiha Madara is almost dead. He is so old that he can't even move, and relies on the Outer Path Demon Statue to prolong his life.

Soon after the Battle of Kannabi Bridge and the Water Country conspiracy, Uchiha Madara entrusted everything to a young man named Obito.

Then he kicked his legs and disappeared.

790 Afterwards, Obito will go to the Land of Rain to look for Nagato, and according to Uchiha Madara's idea, cooperate with Akatsuki, but because of Yahiko and Konan and other reasons, it all fails.

Then Danzo Shimura provided a great assist and cooperated with Hanzo Salamander to kill Yahiko.

Nagato began to turn evil, and Obito also achieved his first stage goal.

But now, Diarmait felt that when Hanzo made an appointment with Yahiko, he would join in and kill the Akatsuki organization along with Hanzo.

Then we can seize the Rain Country and make plans to accumulate strength for the next step. By the way, we can grab the Rinnegan and study it ourselves. Wouldn’t that be great?

As for Uchiha Madara's Moon Eye Project.

Let them love whoever they want, it has nothing to do with Diarmait anyway.

When I think about this plan carefully, I am actually a little excited.

I don’t know what Black Zetsu would think. Maybe he would come to compete with me in a battle of wits and courage?

Just as Diarmait was thinking about these things.

Orochimaru hadn't walked far when he saw a small bird flying from a distance. He frowned and murmured, "Did I forget to take something with me?"

He recognized it at a glance. The bird was a ninja beast, and it seemed to be Kakuzu's ninja beast.

Sure enough, the bird quickly landed on the tree trunk and spit out a small scroll.

Orochimaru reached out and took the scroll from the air. When he opened it, he was stunned.

I've been away for less than half a day. How did you come to the conclusion of killing the Daimyo of the Land Country?

Also, what is this 'Yanshiwu'?

Why did you wait until I was gone before deciding something like this? Do you treat me like an outsider?

I think this Qinglong study group is pretty good. It sounds like they're turning science into dragons, right? If I had to vote, I'd definitely vote for Diarmait!

Orochimaru had a thousand complaints in his mind, but he didn't know where to start. After a long time, he calmed himself down, then wrote four big words "Don't worry about me" on the scroll and threw it into the air. The little bird bit the scroll, swallowed it, and flew away.

Then, Orochimaru glanced at the road ahead and felt that this was a dead end.

Chapter 502 Orochimaru's mentality changes, he becomes confused and helpless.

A few days later, in the secret base of Konoha's Root organization.

Orochimaru's research laboratory.

Danzo Shimura just happened to pass by and suddenly found that the lights inside were on?

He was a little surprised. Who was so bold? Who dared to wander around in Orochimaru's lab? Wasn't he afraid of being used as experimental material?

While thinking, Danzo turned a corner and prepared to go over and take a look.

As a result, when I pushed the door open, I saw a familiar yet unfamiliar figure inside.

Isn’t this Orochimaru?

Why are you back?

No, you came back without even saying hello? You're acting like you never even left! ?

"Could you please knock on the door before entering?" Orochimaru said without turning his head.

Danzo immediately became furious and demanded, "You still remember to come back? Where have you been?!"

"A like-minded friend invited me to do an experiment, that's all." Orochimaru said calmly.

"Like-minded friends? You still have such friends?" Danzo said with great distrust.

"My connections are far more than you think." Orochimaru responded calmly.

However, Danzo didn't want to argue with him about this at all. Instead, he angrily said, "Do you know what I've been up to for the past six months? Originally, you were the best candidate for the Fourth Hokage, and now there's Minato Namikaze. I tried every possible way to spread rumors in the village to force Hiruzen to step down. In the end, is that going to give that commoner Minato Namikaze the upper hand?"

Orochimaru frowned slightly. Why are you pointing at a monk and calling him bald?

What's wrong with being a civilian? I'm a civilian too, okay?

Your Shimura clan is not considered to be a very outstanding and powerful family in the ninja world, right?

damn thing!

Danzo Shimura seemed to realize that he had said the wrong thing. He was not like this usually, but he was just a little angry this time.

After a brief pause, Danzo said, "That's not what I meant, you know..."

"That's all right." Orochimaru shook his head. With his cunning mind, he wouldn't quarrel with Danzo over such a trivial matter. However, Orochimaru quickly continued, "You can do whatever you want, but as I've already said, this matter has nothing to do with me. I have no interest in the Fourth Hokage. If that Namikaze Minato is available, you might as well try to win him over..."

Danzo was silent for a long time, then snorted coldly and said, "You are not worthy of being a strategist! You disappoint me so much, Orochimaru!"

"What a coincidence, you too." Orochimaru responded silently in his heart.

Danzo was very angry. Minato Namikaze was a member of the real Hokage faction. Now that you didn't show up, Jiraiya and Tsunade couldn't find anyone. The Uchiha clan was hard to convince the people, and the Hyuga clan had always been more low-key. From this point of view, there was no suitable candidate for the fourth generation except him, Minato Namikaze!

When no one is fighting for it, the outcome is basically set in stone. How can I win them over?

Danzo was furious, but when it came to Orochimaru, he could only say a few stiff words and didn't dare to go too far, after all, Orochimaru was his ally.

"The village will decide today to seize the Kamubi Bridge, an important supply line for the Iwagakure Village. If nothing unexpected happens, Namikaze Minato will be in charge of this battle. If you are interested, you may still be in time if you go to the Hokage Building now." Danzo Shimura thought about it and still tried to provoke him.

But unfortunately, Orochimaru looked completely uninterested and said directly, "No thanks." Kannabihashi?

Isn't that near Diarmait and the others?

I wonder if they will meet by chance?

After thinking for a while, Orochimaru shook his head again and thought to himself: "It shouldn't be. If nothing unexpected happens, they should be heading towards the Daimyo Castle in the Land of Earth now...." Assassinating the Daimyo, these bastards really dared to do it. The worst thing is that he, Orochimaru, is one of their teammates... I'm afraid he will inexplicably take the blame in the future.

"Hmph." Seeing that Orochimaru was determined not to participate, Danzo was helpless in the end. He snorted coldly and turned to leave.

But at this moment, Orochimaru suddenly called Danzo and threw a scroll over to him.

Danzo reached out to take it, feeling somewhat puzzled, but still quickly opened the scroll. After taking a look at it, he asked in surprise, "These are the secrets among the secrets of the Hidden Cloud Village. Where did you get them?" "I've already told you that I have a like-minded friend. His name is... Rodriguez Diarmait." This time, Orochimaru turned around and glanced at Danzo, with a sinister smile on his lips.

Shimura Danzo was stunned for a moment. Rodriguez. Diarmait? What a strange name! Which family did he belong to? Why hadn't I heard of him?

But I feel this name is very familiar...

After just a moment of hesitation, he suddenly realized what was happening and asked, "Who is the guy who was rumored to have killed the Third Raikage?"

"I thought it was just a rumor before, but now I can tell you very clearly that this is the fact, and this information was also taken out from the body of the Third Raikage. I left this time to do this. Let me give it to you as a gift." Orochimaru said calmly.

It seems that he likes giving gifts to others.

These secret corners were originally intended to be sold, so it was not excessive for Orochimaru to give them away because no one asked for them to be kept secret.

What secret? I, Diarmuid, the S-rank wanted criminal from the Hidden Cloud Village, am going to keep the village secrets secret from you, the Hidden Cloud Village?

Something wrong?

"I didn't expect that you are related to this mysterious guy..." Danzo looked at Orochimaru thoughtfully and said, you know what, this connection is pretty good, maybe it will be useful in the future!

However, the information Orochimaru provided this time can also allow him to regain some advantages in the village and gain more say for the Root organization. Not bad, not bad. You bastard have been away for more than half a year, and you finally did something.

The anger in Danzo's heart also dissipated a lot. Forget it, you can't force it. If Orochimaru is not happy, there is nothing you can do. Let's change our thinking.

"You continue with your work, I'm leaving." Danzo said, and then turned and left without saying thank you.

Orochimaru didn't seem to care at all. He didn't even look back and continued to quietly study his experiment.

But after Danzo closed the door, Orochimaru's eyes flashed with a complex expression, and he murmured softly, "Is this my last contribution to Konoha?"

I don’t know why, it’s the same environment as before, but now, the same laboratory, the same materials, the same people, but he just feels that this place is dull, boring and even makes him feel sick.

It seemed that he had no idea when he started to feel disappointed with this village and Konoha, and this disappointment, over time, slowly evolved into the current feeling of disgust and nausea.

This place feels like a quagmire, binding Orochimaru, and constraining his future and path.

In comparison, looking back on the past six months, I had a very easy and comfortable life with Diarmait. There was no intrigue, no sense of responsibility or obligation, and no miscellaneous trivial matters.

Everyone can do what they like, and if there is any trouble, they can ask everyone for help. It makes me very happy.

And this group is very selfless. No matter who gets something, they will share it with their friends, which is very good.
