From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

Diarmait shook his head and said, "No, I didn't feel any mysterious power that prevented me from talking about the situation in the Pure Land." "Then why don't you say it?" Orochimaru asked again.

"Ahem, I suddenly realized that the reason why Senju Tobirama didn't describe the Pure Land is probably because... there's basically nothing to say." Diarmuid said with a little embarrassment. Scorpion also asked curiously, "What does it mean?"

"I've only been in there for over ten minutes, and I haven't really understood the Pure Land yet. But based on my perception during these ten minutes, the Pure Land is a void and darkness, and I can't feel anything in it except my own thoughts and ideas. At the same time, the Pure Land seems to be composed of pure leptons, and these leptons filled with the power of the Pure Land will subtly influence my own soul, slowly stagnating my thoughts. I'm afraid the loss of the concept of time started from here, but fortunately, there is the secret technique of spiritualization that can resist this influence. However, I still don't have enough understanding of what the Pure Land looks like deeper inside." Diarmuid said after thinking for a while.

Scorpion didn't quite understand what he heard, he was just curious. Diarmait's words gave him some conceptual picture of the Pure Land, which was just pitch black anyway.

Orochimaru pondered silently for a while, then said, "Perhaps the Pure Land itself is just such a void and darkness. You have seen that the souls of the deceased are in a state of confusion when they die. In this state, entering the Pure Land, their thinking is naturally confused. Perhaps when the soul wakes up from the chaos of life and death, it has already been affected by the Pure Land's spirit particles. At that time, the soul's consciousness and thinking should be quite slow, even stagnant. That is why, when I use the Impure World Reincarnation technique to summon the dead, they have that trance-like feeling of 'time passing by.'"

Diarmait thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's right. It's very possible."

But it doesn't matter. Even if the Pure Land really doesn't have as many secrets as imagined, the fact that it can speed up the practice of spiritualization secrets and accelerate the growth of one's soul power is enough to attract Diarmait.

What's more, this is just Orochimaru's speculation.

Diarmuid remembered that Kakashi had died briefly during the battle when Pain destroyed Konoha.

When he came to his senses, he was already in the Pure Land, and met the soul of his father, Hatake Sakumo, also known as White Fang.

The two chatted a lot in the Pure Land and resolved many of Kakashi's knots.

This was completely different from what he had just experienced.

Therefore, Diarmait felt that there was a pure land other than darkness, but he just hadn't found it yet.

After all, his way of entering the Pure Land was completely different from the feeling of being guided by the dead. He must have gotten lost along the way. ...It's not impossible, he didn't have a navigation system!

Shaking off his chaotic thoughts, Diarmait said excitedly, "Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore. This is all I know about the Pure Land. I haven't explored it properly yet. Dou, hurry up and bring me another condemned prisoner to open the door!"

Yakushi Kabuto had a bit of a toothache. My goodness, this way of entering the Pure Land was too extravagant and expensive, wasn't it?

Do I have to sacrifice a life every time I open the door?

However, he was just complaining in his heart and had no intention of interfering. After all, it was not him who died, but those guilty death row prisoners. It was reasonable to recycle them.

There isn't much humanitarianism to speak of in the world of ninjas.

"Yes, Lord Diarmait." Pharmacist Kabuto responded quickly.

Soon, he went down again and brought a death row prisoner. Then, according to the procedures, they once again opened the entrance to the Pure Land in this world in this way.

Afterwards, Diarmait's soul once again entered the Pure Land.

Looking at Diarmait's body lying there motionless, Orochimaru said to Scorpion, "A month? Or half a month?"

"How long can his body withstand not eating?" Scorpion asked after thinking for a while.

"I don't know." Orochimaru shook his head, then said: "There's no need to try."

"Do you usually feed him? What if he needs to poop?" Scorpion was silent for a moment, then looked at Orochimaru and asked... Asking for flowers.

Orochimaru???

Is your question too strange?

But...it seems that this possibility is not impossible?

"How about we transform him into a human puppet? Then he won't need to eat or drink water, let alone poop." Scorpion thought for a while and said.

"Then when he wakes up, you will be torn into eight pieces." Orochimaru said.

Scorpion: "...You have a point."

"Forget it, let Bai Wu Yu Li take care of him. On weekdays, just let her feed Diarmait some water and let him eat some soldier pills to help him get through hunger. As for whether he can poop or not, it depends on fate." After thinking for a while, Orochimaru decided to pass the blame on.

Scorpion looked at Orochimaru and said, "You have a point."

As a member of the Yorozuya... His abilities weren't particularly impressive. He might have learned the secret art of paper escape, but that was about it. He didn't have many field missions to perform on a regular basis. He was essentially just a sidekick to Diarmait, helping him play music when he had some free time, to cultivate his spirit.

Of course, most of the time, Bai Wu Yu Li used her talents as a noblewoman to manage most of the affairs of the Hidden Rain Village.

But, it doesn't affect her taking care of Diarmuid.

At the border of the Land of Fire, several unidentified ninjas are fleeing here.

"Damn it, what caused the information leak? There is a traitor among us, and Konoha's Anbu actually noticed our actions in advance!" A ninja cursed as he fled.

At this moment, the trunk of the tree he had just landed on was shattered by a bolt of lightning.

Then, a masked figure with silver-white hair jumped out from inside, and the lightning in his hand pierced into the ninja's body fiercely.

"Hatake Kakashi..." the ninja said as he looked at the figure before he died.

To be honest, with Kakashi's current reputation in the ninja world, he is no longer suitable to continue to be an Anbu.

Because he has white hair and his attack is Raikiri... anyone who knows a little about Konoha can recognize him.

But Kakashi is also a powerful guy. He strikes without mercy and often leaves no one alive. So to a certain extent, his identity is kept secret.

Kakashi killed a ninja on this side, and on the other side, several fleeing ninjas scattered in panic, trying to break out in different directions.

But soon, a large number of Anbu members appeared, surrounded them and strangled them.

One of them looked rather thin and young, but his moves were very skillful. In just a short moment, he had killed three hostile ninjas with his knife.

Soon, these Anbu members completed the strangulation mission and killed all the enemies who had sneaked into the territory of the Land of Fire.

Then, the thin ninja who had very sharp swordsmanship walked to Kakashi, took off the mask on his head, and said, "Senior Kakashi." "Ah, Itachi? You performed well." Kakashi smiled at Uchiha Itachi and took off his mask.

That’s right, this Anbu member with sharp swordsmanship is Uchiha Itachi.

This guy started school at the age of six, graduated at the age of seven, opened the Sharingan at the age of eight, passed the Chunin Exam alone at the age of ten, and joined the Anbu at the age of eleven.

Now he is Kakashi's subordinate.

Kakashi was also a talented ninja before, but now looking at Uchiha Itachi, he feels that this guy is simply cheating!

"I just saw that when you could have killed the enemy, you chose to protect your companions first..." Uchiha Itachi suddenly said. Kakashi looked at Uchiha Itachi strangely, then asked, "What's wrong?"

"In your opinion, senior, is the mission more important, or are the companions more important? If the two conflict, what will you do..." Uchiha Itachi continued to ask.

But before he could finish his words, Kakashi said without hesitation: "I will definitely protect my companions!"

Chapter 638: Winner in Life - Uchiha Sasuke.

Uchiha Itachi was silent for a moment after hearing this.

"A close friend of mine once told me that ninjas who don't follow the rules are trash, but ninjas who abandon their companions are worse than trash," Kakashi said, looking at Uchiha Itachi. Uchiha Itachi was slightly moved by his words, but then he asked, "Kakashi-senpai, then...how do you define companions?" In Uchiha Itachi's mind, the concept of companions was indeed a bit vague.

Or rather, confused.

He didn't know how to determine this boundary. Was it the Uchiha clan? Or something else?

After hearing this, Kakashi thought for a while, and then said, "Everyone's definition is different, right? But in my opinion, the people you want to protect are your companions, right?" "The ones I want to protect...?" Uchiha Itachi murmured softly.

What I want to protect is Konoha, the village, or Uchiha?

Uchiha Shisui's thoughts were inherited from Uchiha Kagami, and Uchiha Itachi's thoughts, to a large extent, came from Uchiha Shisui.

Therefore, they are all "outliers" in the Uchiha clan, people who have transcended the narrow-mindedness of their own clan.

Whatever I do, I like to think about it from the perspective of the village.

Uchiha Itachi pondered for a long time, and he slowly felt that what he wanted to protect should be the village, right?

He wasn't quite sure, but vaguely, he had a feeling that there was an answer.

On the other side, in Konoha, the Uchiha clan's territory.

Uchiha Fugaku was sitting in the porch of his home, looking at his wife who was watering flowers on the lawn, with a somewhat comfortable expression on his face.

Just then, the sound of running was heard not far away.

Uchiha Fugaku turned his head and then looked at his youngest son, Uchiha Sasuke, who was running towards him from a distance with his schoolbag on his back.

However, after seeing his father, Uchiha Sasuke's expression became a little panicked. He slowed down his pace, hesitated for a moment, and still walked over.

It can be seen that Uchiha Fugaku is usually a bit strict with Sasuke.

In Sasuke's impression, his father always praised his brother.

But his mother told him that it was actually him that his father was always talking about.

"Father." Uchiha Sasuke greeted Uchiha Fugaku. Uchiha Fugaku nodded and said, "Is school over? How was your day?"

After mentioning this, Sasuke's expression relaxed and he said excitedly: "I got first place in the grade again."

"Oh? Really? Keep up the good work." Uchiha Fugaku nodded calmly.

This made Sasuke, who originally wanted to be praised, feel a little disappointed.

Then, Uchiha Fugaku hesitated for a moment, then asked, "By the way, how is the child of the Fourth Hokage?"

"Naruto?" Sasuke was stunned for a moment, then said, "He is the son of the Fourth Hokage, but he can't learn anything well and is the last one in the class." A trace of ripples flashed in Uchiha Fugaku's eyes. It seems that the son of the Fourth Hokage has not yet mastered the power in his body.

Uzumaki Naruto is indeed not very happy now.

Of course, it is not a material reason, nor is it an environmental problem.

In fact, as the son of the Fourth Hokage, Uzumaki Naruto is very popular in the village, and no one has any ill will towards him.

This was also caused by the village's propaganda. In the original story, Konoha definitely had major problems when dealing with the issue of Uzumaki Naruto. Whether it was Sarutobi Hiruzen or the Konoha high-level officials, they were obviously making things difficult for Uzumaki Naruto.

He was the son of the Hokage, but rumors turned him into a person possessed by a fox demon, and he was despised by everyone in the village.

But now, Uzumaki Kushina is not dead, Naruto is not an orphan, and Jiraiya often returns to Konoha to visit them.

Therefore, Konoha did not mistreat Uzumaki Naruto on the fishing reel. There were indeed some bad rumors in the past, but they were quickly suppressed.

Now, the people of Konoha regard Uzumaki Naruto as the son of the Fourth Hokage. In order to protect the village, the Fourth Hokage sacrificed himself, so his son is naturally the son of a hero.

As for the matter of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, some news about it leaked out not long ago for some unknown reason.

However, the fishing reel soon reveals that the Fourth Hokage, in order to protect the village, was forced to seal the Nine-Tails into his newborn son before his death. Therefore, both father and son are heroes shouldering the heavy responsibility of protecting Konoha. This also shows that Konoha was capable of protecting Uzumaki Naruto on the fishing reel, but they did not do so in the original story.

Judging from Uzumaki Naruto’s childhood experience, he did not turn evil and destroyed Konoha. He is such a kind-hearted person!

In terms of fishing reels, environment, and material things, Uzumaki Naruto's life is pretty good.

But he was still unhappy.

Because he was under a lot of psychological pressure. As the son of the Fourth Hokage, he was the last one in the class, which was very embarrassing.

He is not very smart, so his learning is just average.

The results of theoretical exams and so on were not as bad as they should have been.

After all, the original Uzumaki Naruto had problems in life, and it was difficult for him to eat and drink. At such a young age, he drank expired milk and ate expired instant noodles. He was either suffering from diarrhea or on the way to diarrhea. If it weren't for his physique inheriting the strength of the Uzumaki clan and the chakra of the Nine-Tails, an ordinary kid would have been tortured to death long ago. So it was very difficult for him to survive, and forcing him to study was indeed a bit too much.
