From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

For a moment, Danzo didn't know whether he should lose his temper or not!

After all, it was me who asked Orochimaru to arrange a meeting with Diarmait, but I didn't say it was to be arranged in this way!

At the same time, if he lost his temper now, he would inevitably feel like he was taking his anger out on Diarmait as well. But he was still planning to see if he could cooperate with Diarmait. If things got awkward on their first meeting, how could they continue to cooperate?

Forget it, forget it, I can bear it. I, Danzo, am a man who is going to accomplish great things, so I won’t be bothered by trivial matters!

Thinking of this, Shimura Danzo put down the chopsticks in his hand, stood up very naturally, and did not care about Orochimaru's teasing at all, and said: "Please come in."

Even though Orochimaru and Diarmuid had already come in.

Orochimaru took this as a 'please sit down' and sat down on the sofa without any hesitation and said, "I have brought the person you wanted to see."

At this time, Diarmait was looking at the half bowl of ramen and Danzo Shimura with a smile, which made Danzo, who was so shameless, a little overwhelmed.

But he was an old bastard after all, and there was no impatience on his face, and he even had a smile on his face.

Orochimaru's smile was more creepy and looked sinister.

But that's just the way he smiles, and he looks so gloomy, so what can I do?

But as for Danzo, his smile was normal, but for some reason, Diarmait looked very sinister and evil.

Hmm... maybe it's a matter of temperament and my own subjective impression of him?

"Welcome, Lord Diarmait. Perhaps you don't know me well enough. My name is Danzo Shimura. I am one of the disciples of the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama. I am a high-ranking official of Konoha and in charge of the Dark Root organization of Konoha." Danzo Shimura said.

He believed that he had never had any contact or communication with Diarmait, nor had the Root Organization and Diarmait, so there should be no loss of intelligence.

Diarmait was most likely unfamiliar with him. Orochimaru might have briefly introduced him. Diarmait was also sinister. He raised his eyebrows and said, "I see. I've heard a lot about you."

There is no problem when you read the two words separately, but when they are put together, they seem quite "polite". You already know this, and you act like you just found out about it. What are you talking about?

But the more this happened, the more relieved Shimura Danzo felt. He smiled and invited Diarmait to sit down.

I have to say that although Danzo Shimura is a scoundrel, you can't say that he is not good at what he does.

After all, he is a high-ranking official of Konoha, so he should have some courage.

After calming down, he didn't care about the awkwardness of the half-full bowl of noodles in front of him at all, and even greeted warmly: "Have you eaten? Do you want another bowl? Don't look at it like this, it actually tastes very good." It was obvious that this was delivered from outside, or the ninja from Gen bought it specially. The bowl was even printed with the sign of "Ichiraku Ramen".

Diarmait was really surprised this time. He didn't expect that Danzo (bccj) also preferred Ichiraku Ramen?

Are you also the protagonist of a hot-blooded anime?

"No need, I've already eaten." Diarmait said as he sat opposite Danzo.

Seeing Danzo pick up half a bowl of noodles very naturally and continue eating, Diarmait felt a little bit of admiration for this old bastard.

Although his actions and methods were too insidious, his calm demeanor and shameless posture could be described as "outstanding".

Diarmait himself came from a shameless path and is very thick-skinned. His many years of experience can fully conclude that although thick-skinnedness has no direct relationship with strength, generally strong people are quite thick-skinned.

If one is still shameless, then this person's threat level will be even higher.

Looking around Danzo's office, it was very simple and dark, without even any extra decorations, like a cage.

Combined with the feelings he had along the way, Diarmait could probably judge that Danzo was a guy who had no interest in his own enjoyment at all, and his desire for power occupied everything in him.

"Danzo-sama, you invited me here just to treat me to ramen, didn't you?" Diarmait asked, looking away. Shimura Danzo swallowed the ramen in his mouth, even leisurely sipping a sip of the soup before smacking his lips and saying, "Of course not." As Diarmait observed Shimura Danzo, Shimura Danzo was naturally observing Diarmait as well.

He deliberately acted uninhibited and shameless, even making slurping sounds when drinking soup, all in order to observe Diarmait's reaction.

According to his observation, whether he sat down calmly and continued to eat noodles, or deliberately made some slightly embarrassing movements, Diarmait looked as if he was used to it, and even his expression did not change slightly. Instead, he was observing his office with great interest.

It was as if there was nothing weird about him, Shimura Danzo.

What does this mean?

This shows that Diarmait is a guy who doesn't care about conventions at all, and doesn't care about the world's views. At the same time, he is very likely to have realized that he did it on purpose, or even... maybe he is a person who behaves exactly like what he just did.

"This is a bit difficult..." Danzo thought to himself.

At the same time, he continued, "I'm so sorry to have caused you to misunderstand. First of all, I have to ask you something out of the blue. I'm really itching to ask you. If I'm offended, I hope you will forgive me."

"No problem." Diarmait nodded.

"Sir, are you interested in joining our Konoha's Root organization? With your strength, I can definitely grant you the second-in-command." Danzo Shimura said directly.

Diarmait???

This invitation was really beyond Diarmait's expectations.

This was the first time he was surprised by Shimura Danzo, but after the surprise wore off, understanding came into his eyes, and he shook his head and said, "I'm sorry."

"Really? That's really a pity..." Shimura Danzo said with a little regret.

He did feel a little regretful. He really wanted to invite Diarmait to join, and it was not just a courtesy.

As for Diarmuid's loyalty to Konoha, him, and the Root organization, is there any loyalty at all?

Is he, Danzo, someone who cares about loyalty and believes in loyalty?

nonexistent.

If he believed in loyalty, he wouldn't have placed so many restrictions and seals on the members of the Root Organization, and wouldn't have used brainwashing and other means to maintain his rule.

Compared to loyalty, he prefers to believe in interests.

Because he himself believes in interests.

Just like Orochimaru, do you think he is loyal to the Root organization? Is he loyal to Shimura Danzo?

Isn't that nonsense?

But Orochimaru, at least until now, is still a member of the Root organization, and even one of the top leaders.

Why? Isn't it because he and Danzo have certain common interests! ?

So, in Danzo's view, the same goes for Diarmait. There is no need for any loyalty, and it is enough to have common interests.

There are definitely benefits, but Diarmait did not agree, so he will feel regretful.

After gathering his thoughts, Shimura Danzo then said, "Actually, the main reason I invited you to meet me this time is to collaborate with you. I'm wondering if the rumor that the Yorozuya is a "no-brainer" is true or not, that they dare to do anything and take on any task."

"What is it... is too absolute. If you ask me to go up to the sky and blow up the moon for you, that is definitely impossible. But for most things, that is possible." Diarmuid said with a smile.

"Does it include killing the Hokage of Konoha?" Danzo Shimura suddenly asked.

Diarmait grinned and said, "That depends on the price you offer."

Afterwards, Diarmait added silently in his heart, "Although I have a chess game relationship with Sarutobi Hiruzen, if you dare to give me the Book of Seals, then I will kill him..."

Chapter 524 Diarmuid: Lord Danzo and I hit it off right away!

After Diarmait replied to Danzo, Danzo was silent for a moment, then he grinned and did not continue the previous topic, as if he was just joking.

In fact, Danzo did not have any clear purpose in inviting Diarmait to meet him. If Orochimaru was willing to be the fourth Hokage, he might ask Diarmait to kill his biggest competitor, Minato Namikaze.

Then he took the opportunity to push Orochimaru to power.

But the problem is that Orochimaru is unwilling to do so, and he does not have a suitable candidate to succeed the Fourth Hokage at the moment. The embarrassing thing is that even if he kills Minato Namikaze, the next Hokage will still have nothing to do with him.

So why bother?

As for asking Diarmait to kill Sarutobi Hiruzen or something like that.

It's really just a joke.

He could basically conclude that under the current situation, once the war was over, Sarutobi Hiruzen would definitely be forced to step down by himself.

Is it necessary to kill a Hokage who is about to step down?

Plus, Shimura Danzo has some feelings for Sarutobi Hiruzen...

It is not appropriate to do such a big thing now, and the timing is not right. As for the other problems, with the resources in Danzo's hands, he does not need Diarmait's help.

So this time, he really just wanted to establish a connection with Diarmait, make friends with him, get to know him, so that it would be easier to speak to him in the future.

Putting aside the topic of 'killing the Hokage', Danzo and Diarmait soon started chatting with each other.

Danzo originally went to Diarmait with the intention of making friends, and Diarmait also wanted to make friends with Danzo, the old scoundrel. Both of them were very "optimistic" about each other, so naturally they got along quite well when they started chatting.

Even though Danzo Shimura was very insidious, the sound of their laughter could be heard from time to time in the office, as if they were really good friends.

Orochimaru, who was standing aside, silently watched the two bad guys flattering each other, without any ripple in his heart, and even felt like laughing.

"As expected, Danzo-sama and I have similar interests. We hit it off right away. This trip today was not in vain." Diarmuid said with a smile.

"It's the same with you, Your Excellency. Although we have only met once, I still feel a sense of familiarity as if we were old friends." Shimura Danzo also said with a smile.

Diarmuid took out a business card with some chakra on it and handed it to Shimura Danzo. "Maybe there's nothing I can do to help you now, but I think you'll need my help in the future. With this chakra, you can use summoning techniques to summon the ninja beasts of our Yorozuya and entrust them with tasks. I can give you a 20% discount on this."

It doesn't matter if it's 80% off or not. Danzo is not someone who needs this little money. I have Konoha's resources that I can use for my own purposes, right?

But Danzo was very happy with Diarmuid's attitude. With this sentence, isn't this a relationship?

In the future, when looking for the Yorozuya, there is no need to go through other channels, such as Orochimaru or the Dark World to place an order. You can just contact them directly, which is more discreet and convenient. So Danzo happily accepted the business card and said, "Of course, if Lord Diarmait needs any help, please feel free to ask." "Speaking of which, there is indeed something I would like to discuss with Lord Danzo. I might need your help," Diarmait said with a smile. ⑨

There was no politeness at all, as if I had been waiting for you to say this.

Danzo Shimura? ? ? ⑤

I'm just being polite!

But since he had said it, he couldn't refuse directly, so he forced a smile and nodded, saying, "Please tell me, I will definitely help if I can."

"It's not too difficult. As far as I know, Danzo-sama has some connection with Hanzo the Salamander from the Land of Rain?" Diarmuid suddenly said.

Shimura Danzo frowned slightly. This matter was top secret. Even in Konoha, not many people knew about it, not even Orochimaru knew about it.

Because this is indeed not about the public interest, but about his own personal interests.

Although the Fourth Hokage was out of the question, Danzo had never given up his ambition to be Hokage. To be honest, it was difficult for him to gain support within the village.

Because of some reasons back then, he finally chose to become the dark side of the village.

So over the years, his presence in the village has been very low, and few people know him except for the top leaders.

His original reputation as the disciple of the Second Hokage had long since disappeared.

So even if he jumped out now and raised his arms and shouted "I want to be Hokage".

I guess no one supports him. Most people are probably confused and ask "Who are you?"

There was no support from within the village, so Danzo Shimura arranged two routes of his own. The first was to use higher-level relationships, that is, the daimyo prefecture.

The Daimyo of the Land of Fire has the right to directly appoint the Hokage.
