From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

So twenty people will be enough. Just show up, take the blame, and demonstrate your presence. At most, you can help out.

"Twenty people?" Shimura Danzo nodded, then said, "Yes, I will send twenty people to return to the Land of Rain with you later. They will be under the full control of Hanzo-sama."

The ninja from the Rain Country was delighted and said, "Yes, thank you very much, Master Danzo."

"Well, go down." Shimura Danzo waved his hand.

Then, a Root Ninja stepped forward, sealed the five senses of the Rain Country Ninja again, and took him away from Danzo's house.

When he was the only one left in the room, Danzo Shimura touched his chin, thought for a while, and took out a card from the drawer.

That was the 'business card' Diarmait gave him when they first met. It was a very special thing.

It contains some condensed chakra, and there are some bloodstains on the business card, which should be specially printed.

Shimura Danzo placed the business card on the table, formed a summoning technique seal with his hands, then pressed his palm on the business card and whispered, "Summoning technique!"

A cloud of smoke exploded, not very big, and then a squeaking sound was heard.

Looking again, a small bird that looked almost exactly like a sparrow was jumping on the table and looking at Shimura Danzo.

"Is this the communication ninja beast of the Yorozuya? It's really low-key..." Danzo Shimura raised his eyebrows, but didn't think much about it, just muttered to himself.

Then he quickly wrote a small scroll and placed it on the table.

The little bird took a bite and, with incredible force, swallowed the scroll, which looked almost as big as itself, into its body for no apparent reason.

Danzo Shimura was not surprised and nodded with satisfaction, then lifted the summoning technique.

The next second, the bird carrying the scroll disappeared.

Then, Danzo Shimura stood up and left the dark hut, preparing to arrange for the ninjas to go to the Land of Rain.

At the entrance of the Bird Kingdom base, Diarmuid sat on the big rock he usually sat on. It seemed that the top of the rock had been rounded by him.

The haori hung from his waist and stuck to the stone. From a distance, he really looked like an immortal.

But when you look closer, his dark-style Sage Mode training makes him look like a beautiful big monster in human form.

He was still stuck at the stage of 'letting things come naturally'. Facts had proved that he and the self-taught version of Sage Mode developed by Orochimaru were on the right track.

Every time Diarmuid practiced, he could feel some changes, such as the amount of harmonious fairy chakra in his body would gradually increase with practice.

But the problem remains the same. Without toad oil and other messy cheats, the chakra in his body is too huge, so up to now, he still has not been able to complete a complete harmony.

This is a threshold. Only when he truly and thoroughly harmonizes the chakra in his body can he truly achieve the perfect Sage Mode.

When you enter this state again in the future and your body has adapted, the coordination speed will probably increase hundreds or thousands of times.

After a few more times, I can't say that I will surpass Hashirama Senju, but at least I can be on par with him.

If one were to see an 'immortal' who could clearly sense natural energy, they would see that at this moment, a large amount of natural energy was swirling around Diarmuid like a vortex, and was being slowly and steadily absorbed into his body.

And the fact that he showed no sign of petrification meant that Diarmait was functioning perfectly when absorbing these natural energies.

But in Nohara Lin's eyes, Diarmuid was just sitting cross-legged on the stone, with his hands clasped in a circle at the dantian position in his abdomen, and he could not feel anything else.

After pouring a bucket of dirty water under the roots of the old tree, Nohara Lin looked back at Diarmait and found that the sound of pouring water did not affect him. Then he did not rush back, but walked to a stone opposite Diarmait, climbed up very nimbly, sat on it and began to observe Diarmait.

It has been a while since she came to this "devil's den", and there are basically no "good people" around her in the secular sense. At the beginning, Nohara Lin was scared and terrified.

But with gradual contact and daily communication, Nohara Lin also discovered that this place was not as scary as she had imagined!

That scorpion girl seems cold, but she cooks for everyone every day, and her cooking skills seem pretty good, which makes me feel embarrassed to show off my cooking skills.

Although Lord Orochimaru is sinister, he would occasionally give me a gentle smile... Well, although it seemed that there was a hint of nostalgia in his smile, as if he regarded me as a substitute.

But there was really nothing to be afraid of. As for being used as a substitute, she didn't care at all. She wasn't very familiar with Orochimaru anyway, so she could just be a substitute.

My savior Kakuzu and Biwa Juzo almost never stayed here. They were either on the way to make money or on the way to take on missions. They only came back to rest when they passed by here occasionally.

The leader of the criminal gang in front of her, Diarmait, did not give the impression of being some great devil. He was always chatting and laughing with her, without any airs, and his personality was very gentle... Coupled with his handsome face and extraordinary temperament, Nohara Lin had to admit that it was difficult for her to regard him as a bad guy.

Thinking about this, Nohara Lin also fell into a daze.

Then, Diarmuid asked, "What are you staring at me for? Are you also like Anko-chan, obsessed with looks? But the age gap between us is too big. Even if you have a crush on me, it will be fruitless..."

Nohara Lin's face instantly turned red, and then she said angrily: "I don't have a crush on you! I'm just thinking about something..."

Of course, Diarmuid was just teasing her. He knew very well that although Nohara Rin's feelings for Uchiha Obito were not as obsessive and crazy as Obito's, their love could be described as "stronger than gold."

After finishing his training, Diarmait stretched his body, picked up the ivory and jade-inlaid pipe hanging from his hakama, put it to his lips and took a puff.

It spontaneously combusted without fire, and then, a puff of smoke was exhaled by him. He looked at Nohara Lin and asked, "How are you doing with the scroll I gave you? You can't just do odd jobs all day long. You have to strive for it, little girl."

Nohara Lin pouted, then said, "I've learned a little, but there are still many things I don't understand..."

After a brief pause, she looked at Diarmait and said, "Can I..."

"Go ask Orochimaru," Diarmait said bluntly. After a laugh, he continued, "If you don't understand something, write it down first. When you have some free time, like when you're eating, you can ask Orochimaru. Don't be fooled by his reserved demeanor, he's actually quite the mentor. ... Don't you think there's something wrong with the way he looks at you sometimes?"

"Yes, it's as if they treat me as someone special..." Nohara Lin said seriously.

"Mitarashi Anko," Diarmait said softly, then added with some emotion: "That's probably how he sees you... so feel free to ask him about things you don't understand."

Nohara Lin's eyes lit up with understanding, and she nodded. Just as she was about to say something else, Diarmait suddenly stood up and whispered, "It seems like there's something I need to do..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a small bird that looked like a sparrow flapped its wings and flew towards him in the distance.

Right

Chapter 557: A breakthrough in the research of Sharingan, what is Orochimaru’s fate?

"Someone come, someone come, there is work to do!" Diarmuid walked in from outside the cave with a shout, followed by Nohara Lin.

After he shouted a few times, there was no movement inside.

Diarmait's expression froze slightly, and he said unhappily, "I think these two bastards just don't take me, the leader, seriously!"

Nohara Lin smiled awkwardly beside Diarmuid, not knowing how to respond.

I'm just a handyman...

Soon, Diarmuid brought Nohara Rin to the door of the laboratory. When they pushed the door open, they saw Orochimaru and Sasori working frantically on research.

It can be clearly seen that a Sharingan is cut into many thin slices and spread out on the experimental table like sashimi.

The corner of Diarmait's mouth twitched slightly. These two prodigals... Is that a Sharingan? That's a life!

After all, every Sharingan represents an Izanagi technique...

But then I thought, it seems that I, Diarmait, may not be able to use it either?

No matter what, Diarmait wouldn't turn himself into something with strange eyes. ...Thinking about Danzo's future appearance, forget it, forget it.

"What's the situation?" Diarmait stepped forward and asked.

Orochimaru's expression was quite pleasant, and he said with a smile: "Not bad, just as you said, the Sharingan and the Wood Release cells do have some connection. The Senju clan and the Uchiha clan are very likely to be one family..."

"It's not very likely, it's just the way it is." Diarmuid replied, then asked, "So you have harmonized Wood Release and Sharingan?"

"No, the research on the Sharingan has just begun. I can only say that it is a good start." Orochimaru said.

Scorpion on the side put down the things in his hand, and then said: "Yes, if nothing unexpected happens, the Sharingan can accompany 'cultivation'."

"Cultivate?" Diarmait asked with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"That's right, just like the First Hokage's Wood Release Cells." Orochimaru said.

Diarmait was stunned for a moment, then seemed to remember something.

By the way, I have the impression that Orochimaru does have some techniques to 'cultivate' or 'clone' the Sharingan.

Later he created a villain, what was his name?

Shin Uchiha?

It seems that this name is correct. …

Just as Diarmait was stunned, Scorpion spoke again: "But that's all. After all, there will be a big gap between it and the naturally formed Sharingan. That's the theory."

"That's right, the same goes for the first generation's Wood Release cells. There is still a certain gap between them and the original body." Orochimaru said.

Diarmuid was not interested in these matters for the time being. Instead, he asked, "Can people who are not of the Uchiha clan awaken the Sharingan?"

After hearing this, Orochimaru and Sasori looked at Diarmait as if he was a fool. Then Orochimaru shook his head and said, "Impossible."

Diarmait sighed, then said, "So if you want to have the Sharingan, you still have to consider getting an eye transplant in the end?"

"It must be so." Scorpion said directly.

Orochimaru opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he hesitated.

"What's wrong? Do you have a different opinion?" Diarmait raised his eyebrows.

"Well... although natural awakening is unlikely, perhaps a certain degree of fusion is possible, and there is a chance to open the Sharingan." Orochimaru said after thinking for a while.

"What do you mean?" Diarmait asked again, with a little anticipation.

He could still distinguish between fusion and transplantation. A transplant was like what Kakashi had done, where they simply removed their eyes and replaced them with a pair of Sharingan. But after all, they weren't his own eyes anymore, so it felt a bit strange. ... It was hard to accept psychologically.

But the fusion should be just like the first generation cells that were once integrated into his own body. Diarmait can totally accept this!

"I discovered an interesting phenomenon, that is, there are signs of mutual fusion between the Sharingan and the Sharingan. The closer the bloodlines are, the more so..." said Orochimaru.

After hearing this, Scorpion fell silent, as if he was thinking about something.

A glint flashed in Diarmait's eyes. Yes! The Sharingan did have this characteristic.

However, at this stage, only Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Obito probably know.

As far as I can remember, the only people who actually did this were Uchiha Madara and later Uchiha Sasuke.

They both fused their brothers' Sharingan, thus opening the 'Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan' which does not affect vision.

From this we can also see that the Sharingan does have the characteristics that can be integrated with each other.

Orochimaru also discovered a sign of this characteristic, that is, the closer the bloodlines are, the more "fusible" they are.

Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Sasuke both ended up using their brothers' eyes.

But in fact, you don’t have to be brothers to truly open the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.

This condition is too harsh. Without brothers and sisters, is it impossible to reach the peak of the Uchiha clan's bloodline?

Obviously not. Apart from brothers and sisters, relatives around you can also be used. The effect depends on the degree of blood relationship. In theory, parents can also be used...

From this we can see that what Senju Tobirama said was correct. The Uchiha clan is indeed "innately evil" in their pursuit of power.
