From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

Goodness, Orochimaru immediately thought that Diarmuid was here to kill the Third Hokage.

Shimura Danzo felt a little helpless. It would be nice if he had malicious intent. He really hoped Diarmait could suddenly kill that Hiruzen guy. …

Well... there's no need to kill him. It would be best if you could beat him up and prevent him from becoming Hokage.

After muttering something, Orochimaru looked at Danzo and asked, "So? You came to me just to tell me this out of kindness?" "No, just as you said, I'm not that kind." Danzo said calmly.

After a brief pause, he continued, "I came here to ask you to introduce him to me, that's all."

Just as Diarmait expected, he was very interested in the old bastard Danzo Shimura. Similarly, Diarmait, who killed the Third Raikage and the Daimyo of the Land of Earth, also deeply attracted the old bastard Danzo because of his unscrupulous style and identity.

"Hehehe..." Orochimaru smiled sinisterly, his snake-like cold pupils staring at Danzo's eyes.

Danzo Shimura didn't seem to care at all and still stood there, as if waiting for Orochimaru's answer.

"Konoha is becoming more and more disappointing." Orochimaru suddenly said this inexplicably.

Danzo still didn't speak.

After a long moment, Orochimaru withdrew his gaze and promised, "I will go see him tonight."

Although he didn't say anything explicitly, Shimura Danzo knew that Orochimaru had agreed, so he didn't bother to argue anymore and turned to leave. But before leaving, he paused slightly and said, "Have you been a little too presumptuous lately?" "What do you mean?" Orochimaru shook the test tube in his hand, observing the liquid inside under the light, and responded calmly.

"Even if you use the ninjas in the village for the experiment, at least you should clean up the mess. I don't need to remind you about this kind of thing, but you made this mistake. I can't help but doubt, Orochimaru... what are you thinking?" Shimura Danzo asked without turning his head.

That's right, Danzo had discovered that Orochimaru was experimenting on the village's ninjas, but he didn't stop anything.

He even helped Orochimaru clean up the traces.

He is just like that. He often shouts slogans like "The Darkness of Konoha" and "The Necessity of Roots", as if he is caring about Konoha.

In fact, he was only after his own power and status.

Danzo Shimura will kill anyone who hinders his interests, regardless of whether it is beneficial to the village or not.

In the original story, he even sent Tenzo, also known as Yamato, to lead a team to kill Kakashi or something.

It is obvious that Danzo has done this kind of thing of killing ninjas from the same village many times.

Orochimaru is now a person of value and benefit to him, so he will protect Orochimaru.

In fact, in his opinion, Orochimaru has now lost the value of competing for the Fourth Hokage. After all, the other party is not happy about it. So it doesn't matter what Orochimaru wants to do, how he wants to go, or even whether he leaves Konoha in the future. As long as the two sides can maintain a cooperative relationship secretly, he can accept it.

As it turned out, after Orochimaru left, Danzo did maintain a relatively good cooperative relationship with Orochimaru.

"Don't meddle in other people's business." Orochimaru said without turning his head, and then poured the liquid in the test tube in his hand into the petri dish.

"Hmph." Danzo snorted coldly.

Ever since Orochimaru moved out of the Root organization's base, the relationship between the two has become increasingly distant.

Originally, there was still a bit of a feeling of superior and subordinate, but now, Danzo could clearly feel that Orochimaru didn't take him seriously anymore.

It is impossible for the two of them to get along like they did before.

If we want to continue to maintain the relationship, I'm afraid we can only change it towards equality and mutual assistance.

Although Danzo was a little unhappy, he was also a flexible person, so he has been changing recently.

Ultimately, all of this happened because of Orochimaru's changing attitude and feelings towards Konoha.

It is not incomprehensible.

"If it comes to that, and you leave, I will put all the blame on you," Danzo said suddenly.

Orochimaru still didn't look back, and observed the petri dish by himself. His eyes didn't change at all, and he responded very calmly: "Sure, just consider it as a bonus for our cooperation over the years." Danzo nodded after hearing this, and didn't say anything else. Instead, he was thinking in his heart, is there any blame that he can take the opportunity to put on Orochimaru?

Then, his figure quickly disappeared from here.

Orochimaru then said somewhat unhappily: "People who don't know how to close the door when leaving are the most disgusting." As he said that, he walked to the door and closed it.

He originally planned to go back and continue the experiment, but looking at the petri dish, Orochimaru suddenly lost interest.

Taking off his gloves, Orochimaru stroked his chin and said, "Why did you suddenly come to Konoha? Without even saying hello..."

Glancing at the sky outside, Orochimaru saw that it was still some time before sunset, so he decided to have a meal first and then go meet Diarmait.

Even though they had fought before, it must be said that neither Diarmait nor Jiraiya took the matter to heart.

The two of them really got along well together, and Jiraiya took Diarmuid around Konoha.

In other words, the village was not suitable as there was no proper red-light district. Otherwise, the two of them might have gone there together arm in arm.

At the barbecue restaurant, looking at the mess on the table in front of him, Diarmait burped with satisfaction, then suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, Bai Wu Yu Li, did you go back later?" "That courtesan?" Jiraiya first responded, then shook his head and said, "No, I went straight back to Konoha, but I know about her!" As he said this, Jiraiya raised his eyebrows, looking wretched. Diarmait grinned and said, "Tell me about it."

"It's so pitiful. I was implicated by you, and now I'm listed as one of the accomplices in the murder of the daimyo by the Land of Earth. I'm being hunted, but I heard that you've already fled the Land of Earth. I wonder what small country you've hidden in? You can't be an oiran anymore..." Jiraiya said with some emotion.

Diarmait was stunned for a moment, then said, "Not really? I just drank wine there for a few days..."

"It's not really that serious. I drank with you, and no one bothered me or treated me as a suspect. But Bai Wu Yu Li is a fugitive noble from the Land of Water... you know." Jiraiya said very naturally.

Diarmait thought about it for a moment and roughly understood the twists and turns.

The daimyo of the Land of Earth has died, and the next step is definitely to elect a new daimyo. Some of them want to win over the Land of Water as foreign aid, so they want to curry favor with the foreign aid of the Land of Water by dealing with Bai Wu Yu Li?

Although it is just speculation, it is probably correct. The struggle between the nobles and this kind of power has always been so dirty and despicable.

I can only say it was an unexpected disaster.

"Would you like to stay with me tonight?" Jiraiya suddenly asked. Diarmait was completely indifferent and asked, "Where are you staying?" "I live... uh..." Jiraiya was a little embarrassed.

He was a wanderer to begin with, and now he didn't have much time left in Konoha, so he often traveled around.

The house that Minato Namikaze lives in now originally belonged to Jiraiya.

Minato Namikaze was born into a commoner family and was an orphan. After all, if he had parents, his son with Kushina, Naruto Uzumaki, would not have had such a miserable childhood.

At least there needs to be a grandparent to take care of him.

But he didn't, so later on Minato Namikaze always lived with his teacher Jiraiya, and the relationship between master and apprentice was very close.

Like father and son.

When Minato Namikaze was about to get married, Jiraiya didn't plan to stay in Konoha any longer, so he gave his house to Minato Namikaze.

When he occasionally returned to Konoha, he would stay at Minato's place for a while.

The house is very big, and after all, the best-selling author is not short of money, so it is no problem for him to live there temporarily.

Kushina also respected Jiraiya very much, so she had no objection.

After all, she has no parents, so she regards Jiraiya as her own parent and elder.

Now that Jiraiya has returned to Konoha, he's been staying with Minato at night.

I just casually invited Diarmait just now, but now I suddenly think of these things and feel embarrassed.

As the elder, it's fine for me to live in Minato's house, but bringing Diarmuid with me...it's a bit inappropriate.

Just when Jiraiya was feeling awkward, a cold and eerie voice said, "Don't worry about it, Jiraiya. I'll arrange a place for him to stay tonight..."

Orochimaru.

He didn't know when he was standing behind Jiraiya.

Jiraiya looked back at Orochimaru and said, "Would you like some barbecue?" "No, I just finished eating." Orochimaru shook his head.

"Why do you use such a scary word like 'eating'?" Jiraiya complained.

"Horrible? I just used more scientific and rigorous words to describe it." Orochimaru said casually. Then he looked at Diarmait and said, "Why do you think of Konoha?" "Hahahaha, take a turn." Diarmait laughed.

"Stay with me tonight?" Orochimaru asked directly without asking any further questions.

"I'm fine." Diarmait shrugged and said casually.

Jiraiya still had great trust in Orochimaru at this point. Or rather, aside from Danzo discovering some issues, the rest of Konoha had no problem with Orochimaru, one of the Three Ninjas. So Jiraiya was reassured and nodded, saying, "Then I'll trouble you."

"I've known him longer than you." Orochimaru said very calmly, not responding to Jiraiya's 'troublesome' words at all.

It's as if you know Diarmait better than I do...

I have his blood in me, do you?

Ah... this inexplicable desire to compare???

Chapter 521 Hinata Hiashi: Sandaime, please listen to my explanation!

"Rodriguez Diarmait?" Hinata Hiashi looked at the Third Hokage with some surprise.

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, holding the pipe in his hand and exhaling a puff of smoke. He inexplicably thought of the pipe hanging on Diarmait's waist. It was so high-end. As the Hokage, shouldn't he also get a decent one?

"Sir Sandaime, please listen to my explanation. I really didn't notice it. I didn't mean to... He told me his name was Fujitora Issho, and I didn't think much of it because of his demeanor." Hinata Hiashi quickly explained.

He had finished his work with the caravan and was preparing to go home and have a good rest.

As a result, he was suddenly called to the Hokage Building. The good friend he brought into Konoha today was actually an S-level wanted criminal?

This is really like yellow mud falling into your crotch. It's shit if it's not!

Although he is the head of the Hyuga clan, Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Hokage, is obviously more intimidating, which makes Hyuga Hiashi a little nervous.

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not intend to blame Hinata Hiashi.

There is no need to create any rift with the Hyuga family because of this matter.

Among the three major clans of Konoha, the Senju clan is needless to say, the Uchiha clan is arrogant, and the Hyuga clan is relatively friendly to the village. All along, successive Hokage have treated the Hyuga clan with a vigilant and trying to win them over. With the performance of the Hyuga clan, the vigilance is decreasing and the winning over is increasing.

Moreover, he truly believed what Hinata Hiashi said.

If it were someone else, Sarutobi Hiruzen would definitely not believe it. How could you, the Hyuga clan, not recognize such a big S-level wanted criminal?

Are you taking me, the Hokage, for a fool?

But Diarmait...

Sarutobi Hiruzen himself had just met him not long ago.12 To be honest, if it were him, he might not be able to recognize him.

That guy is so deceptive.

So he didn't intend to hold Hinata Hiashi responsible.

"I know you definitely won't have any bad thoughts in the village... No, I should say that I have great trust in your Hyuga clan, so you don't have to blame yourself too much, it's just that guy is too deceptive, and you are not the only one who has been deceived by him." Sarutobi Hiruzen said in a gentle tone.

Hinata Hiashi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "I'm so sorry, Sandaime-sama."

"Ah, that guy seemed to know that I was definitely going to come to you to say this, so he asked me to bring you a message. He said that the conversation on the road was very sincere and he thought you were a good friend. He was very sorry for the concealment and deception. He hoped you could understand and forgive him." Sarutobi Hiruzen said.

Hinata Hiashi???
