From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

Although it seems to have nothing to do with Danzo, but if you think about it carefully, isn’t it just to catch the Three-Tailed Fox for you?

"Who is Danzo?" the guarding ninja said after a moment of surprise.

Diarmait???

Are you kidding me?

"Shimura Danzo! Don't you know the roots?" Diarmait hesitated.

"What root?" the guarding ninja asked again in surprise.

Diarmait was confused and asked, "Danzo, how do you think about running for Hokage?"

You are basically just a background board in Konoha, a passerby. If you are like this, if I were a Konoha villager, I would never vote for you when electing the village chief!

In fact, there are very few ninjas in Konoha who know about the Root organization, and most of the 12 are only senior ninjas who come into contact with it.

Or it could be the Anbu, which is basically inseparable from the Root organization, but the Anbu is the direct subordinate of the Hokage, so they won't say any nonsense casually.

At the same time, in the eyes of irrelevant people, there is no such organization as "Root" at all. On the surface, in order to maintain secrecy, they have always acted as "Anbu" to the outside world.

"Then do you know Orochimaru?" Diarmait thought for a moment and then said.

"Of course, Lord Orochimaru, how could I not know?" the guarding ninja said quickly.

Diarmait once again realized how foolish Danzo's actions were in his campaign for the Hokage position. …

But he didn't care about that and said directly: "You can understand it as Orochimaru's boss inviting me to Konoha, you can send someone to ask."

Anyway, it was impossible to let Diarmait in casually, and soon, a ninja came back.

The speed was not slow. After five or six minutes, he came back and said, "Hokage-sama has agreed. Orochimaru-sama is waiting for you at home."

Sure enough, even though he seemed to be leaving without saying goodbye last year, Sarutobi Hiruzen still had no intention of stopping him from entering Konoha. What a good friend!

Soon, Diarmuid entered Konoha and headed straight towards Orochimaru's house.

The door to the yard was not closed, probably because it was left open for him.

Diarmait walked in without thinking.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw the little girl, Mitarashi Anko, biting a fried dumpling and looking at Diarmait with excitement.

"Big brother, you're here again!" Mitarashi Anko said in surprise.

Diarmuid smiled and nodded at her, then asked, "Red Bean Sister, why are you here?"

Mitarashi Anko didn't care at all about Diarmait calling her 'Red Bean Sister'. She was actually very happy. She knew that this big man had a good relationship with her teacher Orochimaru, so she didn't hide anything and said directly, "I don't know what's wrong with the teacher recently. He has been getting more and more harsh on me. He taught me a lot of ninjutsu and asked me to practice well..."

Diarmait was stunned for a moment, then said with a little emotion: "Work hard..."

Perhaps Mitarashi Anko couldn't feel anything, but Diarmuid could probably guess that Orochimaru was already finishing his "afterlife" in Konoha.

Speaking of which, Anko Mitarashi is definitely a talented person who was delayed by Orochimaru.

Although Diarmuid didn't have much contact with her, he could feel that Anko Mitarashi had a generous personality and was very smart. Orochimaru also praised her talents and abilities many times.

Nonsense, Orochimaru only has one apprentice in Konoha, she was chosen by him personally, and she has occupied a large part of his heart for many years. How could Mitarashi Anko be a loser?

There is no doubt that Mitarashi Anko is very talented.

It's just that Orochimaru tricked him.

During the best period of Mitarashi Anko's growth, Orochimaru just walked away, which dealt a huge blow to Mitarashi Anko.

My own teacher betrayed the village?

This will undoubtedly affect Mitarashi Anko's growth process. After that, as a disciple of Orochimaru, she was investigated by Konoha for a long time. The psychological pressure can be imagined.

Although in the end, Anko Mitarashi passed Konoha's investigation and was confirmed to have no problems with her.

But she has not had a teacher since then, and no one will come to teach her easily. After all, she is really labeled as Orochimaru.

So from then on, Mitarashi Anko was always self-taught and even suffered some exclusion.

Even under such circumstances, she relied on her talent and gifts to reach the level of a special Jonin despite all the difficulties. It is conceivable whether she has talent or not.

The most powerful proof is that she is the only one who can bear the Heaven's Curse Seal besides Sasuke, one of the Four Laughing Uchiha!

"I will." Mitarashi Anko nodded confidently, and then said: "Although I really want to chat with you for a while longer, forget it, I'm leaving first!" "Oh, go ahead." Diarmuid smiled and said.

After saying goodbye to the carefree Red Bean Girl, Diarmuid quickly entered the house.

Orochimaru had just prepared the meal and brought it to the table. He raised his eyebrows and said, "The timing is perfect." "It seems you really have a lot of free time," Diarmait complained.

"That's right, I haven't had much to do recently, and the experiments I need to do are almost done...." Orochimaru thought for a moment and said calmly.

Diarmait was a little confused. He remembered that during this period, he had continued to study Wood Release.

I've seen him doing this before.

Later, he became even more cruel. With the support of Danzo, he attacked babies and finally created Yamato.

Why...this guy doesn't do it anymore?

Diarmuid thought about this and asked, "Have you done any research on Wood Release recently? I still haven't made any progress, so I'm just asking you."

"No, I stopped researching in that area after you left Konoha. Don't worry, there's no need to worry. You will be able to awaken Wood Release sooner or later." Orochimaru said confidently.

Diarmait???

Oh my god, Yamato is gone?

Orochimaru is not doing it anymore?

He had some things he wanted to say, such as persuading Orochimaru, but in the end he couldn't open his mouth.

How can I persuade him? This is a good thing in itself. What if I persuade him and he turns around and kills dozens of babies or something? Then I will be the one who commits the sin, right?

Although Diarmuid considers himself not a good person, he is not so bad as this.

He is not Danzo!

So he just nodded and didn't say anything more.

On the contrary, Orochimaru, after sitting down, said: "You haven't eaten yet, right? Together?"

"Hmm." Diarmait didn't care about the word 'eating' anymore. He picked up his chopsticks and started eating with Orochimaru. While eating, Orochimaru asked, "Why are you here again?"

"Didn't I promise Danzo last year that I would get him a tailed beast? We have made arrangements here. Since you said you were interested, I came to find you." Diarmait responded very calmly.

"That's perfect. How do we arrange it?" Orochimaru asked with real interest.

"Let's go meet Danzo later and ask him to show me the information about Kakashi and the others' actions so I can confirm the location." Diarmuid said.

This is also one of the reasons why he came to find Orochimaru and Danzo.

He just couldn't be sure where Kakashi fell into Uchiha Madara's trap and killed Nohara Rin with a Raikiri.

So he thought about it again and again and decided to use the Three-Tails as an excuse, saying that he had discovered some conspiracy in the Hidden Mist Village that was targeting Kakashi and the other kids, so he needed information, so he followed Kakashi and the others and then went to snatch the Three-Tails.

Judging from Danzo Shimura's inhumane behavior, he would probably hand over Kakashi's information to Diarmait without hesitation.

"Kakashi?" Orochimaru was stunned for a moment, then frowned and asked, "What does this have to do with Kakashi?"

"The Hidden Mist Village has a bizarre plan for these little devils who are easier to deal with. They plan to capture a living Konoha devil, then seal the Three-Tails into that devil's body, forcibly control him to become a Jinchūriki, and send him back to Konoha to free the tailed beasts and start the Tailed Beast Rebellion. Then the Hidden Mist Village and the Hidden Cloud Village will take the opportunity to launch a new round of offensive against Konoha." Diarmait said.

Orochimaru???

He was really shocked. Although it sounded fantastic, when he thought about it carefully, this plan was very possible precisely because it was 'unrealistic'!

Even Orochimaru had already thought that if this plan succeeded, Konoha might really collapse completely and fall into an even worse war environment.

The war that seemed to be almost over on 823 may continue to spread.

"Then if you destroy the plan of the Hidden Mist Village and snatch the Three-Tails, wouldn't that be indirectly helping Konoha again?" Orochimaru said in surprise.

"Yeah, so I think that Sarutobi Hiruzen should give me the Medal of Honor of Friend of Konoha and give me the Book of Sealing at the same time." Diarmait said seriously.

Orochimaru laughed at this and then said, "Perhaps you don't know? Kakuzu and Biwa Juzo killed Sarutobi's nephew, a jonin of the Sarutobi family, two months ago, and also offended the Nara clan."

Diarmait sighed and said, "I know, but what does this have to do with us? We at the Yorozuya are at most tools. We should think more about who issued this mission. They are the real enemy. Why don't you mention that Kakuzu also accepted his mission and killed the Jonin of the Kirigakure Hozumi clan?"

In the ninja world, where you kill me and I kill you, who can tell the difference?

It was precisely because the matter was unclear that Sarutobi Hiruzen did not really blame Diarmait, otherwise, would he have allowed him to enter the village?

After chatting with Orochimaru about these things for a while, Orochimaru suddenly said, "Oh, right? I haven't told you yet, have I? I've been researching a new concept of ninjutsu, similar to the reincarnation technique, which may allow people to reach the height of eternal soul." Diarmait looked at Orochimaru in surprise, then nodded and said, "I wish you success."

Orochimaru looked at Diarmait strangely. Why do you act as if this is a matter of course?

Don’t you think my idea is genius?

However, before Orochimaru could dwell on these things, Diarmuid asked again, "Speaking of which, I'm also very interested in soul-related techniques. Do you know much? Could you teach me a few?"

Orochimaru frequently uses the "Reincarnation" technique, which causes his soul to be in a weak state for a long time. Therefore, he has basically no resistance to threats related to illusions.

On the other hand, the strength of the soul can indeed resist the power of illusion to a certain extent.

However, Diarmuid had never seen the art of tempering the soul.

Orochimaru thought for a moment, then said, "I roughly understand what you mean, but there are very few such techniques. If I must name one, I only know one, the Kato clan's spiritual transformation secret technique, which is a technique that can truly and effectively temper the soul.

Chapter 542: Danzo: There is such a good thing! ?

The secret art of spiritualization sounds very powerful.

In fact, it is indeed very powerful and is one of the rare soul-related ninjutsu in the ninja world.

It's different from Shikigami Fuujin, which involves mutual destruction. It's also different from Impure World Reincarnation, which uses other people's souls.

The secret art of spiritualization is truly controlling one's own soul.

To a certain extent, there must be the power of tempering one's own soul. Otherwise, how could a normal soul fly around and possess the enemy, causing the enemy's soul to collapse and die?

This is something only a ghost could do!

If your soul is not strong enough, you might end up killing yourself.

Thinking of this, Diarmuid became interested and asked, "Kato clan, is there any way to exchange or obtain this technique?"

Orochimaru shook his head helplessly, then said, "The Kato clan has fallen on hard times. They don't even have a single ninja left. Furthermore, they used to have a very good relationship with the three of us. If you want to use any means, I think it's better not to... Besides, I guess they don't have the secret technique of spiritualization."

At this stage, the Kato clan has "disappeared" from the ninja industry and seems to have transformed into businessmen.

Diarmait thought about it carefully and realized that he had not heard any news about the Kato clan's ninjas afterwards.

It seems that Kato Dan's desire to become Hokage is the clan's last hope for a ninja.
