From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

Orochimaru was not as carefree as Diarmait. He was soaked by the rain, but he had no intention of taking shelter or holding an umbrella.

Diarmait had wanted to help him 'arrange' something before, but Orochimaru refused. It seemed that he really enjoyed the feeling of being soaked in the rain?

Quirk...

Or, worthy of being a snake?

This time, only Diarmait and Orochimaru came.

Scorpion's otaku nature finally broke out again. After confirming that Diarmait could handle it even if he didn't come, he immediately said that he would not come and would continue to study the Sharingan at home.

Diarmuid didn't force anything. It was fine if she didn't come. He could help look after Nohara Lin.

Otherwise, Diarmait would really be a little uneasy.

“That’s true.” Diarmait replied softly.

Even though Danzo is a bastard, he does have some abilities, especially when it comes to these bullshit conspiracies, which are quite impressive.

After a brief silence, Orochimaru said again: "Samsara Eye, can we really see the power of Samsara Eye this time?"

"Of course." Diarmait smiled, and then he continued: "If the plan goes well, perhaps the Rinnegan will fall into our hands." "Rinnegan... do you plan to use it yourself?" Orochimaru asked again.

Diarmait simply shook his head and said, "It's not necessary, but you can do a simple study on it. Just don't break it. This thing is more of a bargaining chip..." "Bargain chip..." Orochimaru murmured, nodded and stopped asking questions.

Diarmuid really had no intention of getting the Rinnegan. On the one hand, this Rinnegan was indeed crucial, related to Uchiha Madara's resurrection and Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's freedom... On the other hand, it was also because this Rinnegan obviously could not be completely controlled by outsiders.

When the Rinnegan was with Uchiha Madara, he could freely switch between the various levels of the Sharingan.

But when he was with Nagato, the Rinnegan was always open and could not be closed at all.

It can be seen that although Nagato is able to use the power of the Rinnegan, he has not fully mastered the power of the Rinnegan.

Diarmait showed little interest in this.

In comparison, he would rather let Orochimaru challenge himself to a higher level of difficulty and see if he could fuse a pair of Sharingan for himself.

Thinking about it more deeply, Diarmuid wasn't really interested in the Rinnegan. He still thought the Mangekyo was more interesting. Or, in other words, more handsome.

Anyway, he doesn't have too much obsession with the Rinnegan. If it can awaken in the future, he will let it happen naturally. If not, he doesn't intend to force it.

Being strong or not is a temporary thing, but being handsome or not is a lifelong thing!

The patter of raindrops hit Orochimaru. After a long silence, Orochimaru suddenly said, "Here he comes." Diarmait slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, a smile on his lips, and said, "He's finally here."

…The people from Akatsuki appeared, and the people from the Hidden Rain Village also appeared.

In the valley, they walked towards each other and soon met up.

It is not quite appropriate to say that they are converging. In fact, there are clear distinctions between them, and the atmosphere is not as friendly as that of a peace negotiation.

Both sides are very wary of each other.

"Yahiko...something seems really wrong." Nagato whispered beside Yahiko.

This atmosphere doesn't look like a place for peace talks.

Even the ninjas from the Hidden Rain Village had a vague feeling that they were being surrounded.

Yahiko nodded, his expression becoming slightly more serious. Without further delay, he spoke directly, "Where is Hanzo? We have an agreement to discuss peace talks between the two sides..."

If the Hidden Rain Village does anything more extreme, shouldn't it still be in time for them to retreat now?

Just as Yahiko finished his words, the somewhat domineering figure of Hanzo the Salamander appeared on the top of a high slope not far away.

He carried a terrifying sickle on his back, wore a gas mask on his face, and armor on his body. He looked at Yahiko and Nagato with a very gloomy look.

The moment he appeared, Nagato and Yahiko reacted, damn, there is obviously something wrong with the place you appeared!

Who would do something so fancy during peace talks?

"Prepare to retreat!" Yahiko said decisively.

"Yeah!" Nagato also responded.

However, just as the two were about to evacuate with the Akatsuki people, two ninjas from the Hidden Rain Village suddenly appeared beside Hanzo, and they forced a figure to kneel there.

"Are you going to abandon your companions and run away?" said Hanzo with a sneer.

As soon as he finished speaking, Yahiko and Nagato's expressions changed, and they exclaimed in unison: "Konan!!!"

That’s right, Konan, who was supposed to be dealing with some village affairs at this time, was caught next to Hanzo the Salamander!

"Hanzo the Salamander!!! You despicable villain!!!" Yahiko shouted angrily.

"Let Konan go!!!" Nagato also shouted angrily.

"Despicable? As expected... You are all a bunch of naive fools... What do you think has kept the Rain Country from being completely destroyed by the big country over the years?" Hanzo of the Salamander sneered.

At the same time, Orochimaru looked at the figure holding the hostage, his eyes showing a hint of loneliness, and said softly: "He is no longer a demigod...."

Diarmait exhaled a puff of smoke, smiled and said: "Yes, even gods can fall."

Chapter 560: Yahiko's death, Nagato goes berserk!

A kunai flew out from Hanzo's hand.

It didn't hit anyone, but stuck in the ground in front of Nagato.

"Yahiko is the leader of Akatsuki. Everything of Akatsuki depends on him, so he cannot live." said Hanzo of the Salamander.

As soon as he finished speaking, Nagato and Yahiko's expressions changed.

"You red-haired one, pick up your kunai and kill Yahiko, and I'll let you and this woman live," said Hanzo of the Salamander coldly. As soon as he finished speaking, Konan cried out in grief, "Yahiko, Nagato, leave me alone, and leave!" Neither Yahiko nor Nagato moved.

Nagato's weak character was revealed again at this moment. His expression was extremely painful, and one could even vaguely see some hesitation.

"Pick it up...Nagato." Yahiko said.

At this moment, Nagato's mind was a mess. Listening to Yahiko's voice, he instinctively obeyed his words as usual and picked up the kunai from the ground.

Looking at this scene, Yahiko had a smile on his face, and he looked into Nagato's eyes again.

"If it's you... maybe it's the only antidote to this hopeless world..." Yahiko murmured softly in his heart.

"Kill me, Nagato!" Yahiko suddenly shouted.

Nagato was suddenly awakened by the roar and turned to look at Yahiko, but before he could make any move, Yahiko's figure suddenly pounced on him and hit the kunai head-on.

At this time, Diarmait and Orochimaru, who were hiding, had strange expressions on their faces.

Diarmuid saw something familiar here... If he remembered correctly, that little girl Nohara Lin fell into Kakashi's hands in this way.

Do all of you disciples of Jiraiya's lineage like to play this game?

Orochimaru, on the other hand, was somewhat surprised at how strange the situation had developed.

Good man, just because Hanzo of the Salamander said that casually, you just committed suicide on the spot?

At this moment, Orochimaru is somewhat skeptical of this world... Are all the ninjas nowadays so naive?

How much resistance!

But it's also Orochimaru's fault for not understanding Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan.

He didn't even recognize that these three guys were Jiraiya's disciples back then.

That's normal. When Jiraiya saw them, it took him a long time to react.

Yahiko undoubtedly understood Nagato and knew more clearly what kind of power Nagato possessed.

But it was precisely because of this understanding that he knew even more clearly how weak Nagato's character was.

The enemy is Hanzo the Salamander, the myth and legend of the Land of Rain!

Yahiko knew very well that he was no match for him.

At this moment, Nagato, judging from his mentality, could not be a match for Hanzo of the Salamander.

With Hanzo's rich experience, it is impossible for him to make any mistakes. He does not have extra time to enlighten Nagato.

He can die, but Nagato and Konan must not die, especially Nagato. Perhaps he is the only antidote to this world!

At least that's what Yahiko saw.

Therefore, he chose to die at Nagato's hands without hesitation.

It wasn't for the reasons Orochimaru thought, such as believing that Hanzo would keep his promise.

Rather, it was because this was the quickest way to make Nagato realize reality and allow him to "survive." …

"You and Konan... absolutely... absolutely... must survive." Yahiko whispered in Nagato's ear with blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.

At this moment, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth...as if he was already very sure that Nagato and the others would survive.

After saying this, the last bit of strength in his body dissipated, and then he fell into the mud at his feet.

Yahiko, the leader of the first generation Akatsuki organization, died at this point.

Hanzo Salamander also looked at this scene with a little surprise. To be honest, he just wanted to sow discord and didn't really expect Nagato to kill Yahiko or anything.

But didn’t you expect the effect to be so good?

I just said it casually, you committed suicide on the spot?

However, although it seems a bit strange, when I think about it, these are the leaders of the Akatsuki organization who can gather together for inexplicable naive ideas... Well, it seems that it is not incomprehensible?

After a brief moment of surprise, the look in Hanzo's eyes faded, and he said in a deep voice, "Do it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, all the ninjas around him attacked. Kunai and shurikens rained down like a torrential rain, flying towards Nagato who was stunned and seemed to have not yet recovered from his shock.

Just as Nagato was about to be shot to death by these things, Konan cried out in grief: "Nagato!!!!"

This shout brought Nagato back to his senses from his daze. The first thing he saw was Yahiko's body, and then he instinctively raised his arms.

boom! A sound!

The large number of kunai and shurikens that were supposed to kill him suddenly seemed to hit an invisible wall and all bounced away!

This is the power of the Rinnegan.

Orochimaru, who was watching the show, suddenly turned around and glanced at Diarmuid...

"What are you looking at?" Diarmait glared at Orochimaru with a guilty look on his face.

"This technique... is very similar to yours." Orochimaru said with some surprise.
