From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

"Your question is meaningless." Orochimaru said with a smile.

Shimura Danzo was silent for a moment, then spoke, "These two bodies are meaningless. Take them if you want. I won't bother with Hanzo anymore. Since you said Diarmait will succeed, I'll bet on you this time. Tell me, how do we work together?"

"Once our Yorozuya completely takes over the Rain Country, you will be responsible for providing us with certain material support to stabilize the people's hearts in the Rain Country. Secondly, we should block the news of the civil war in the Rain Country, and will not announce the death of Hanzo of the Salamander. After that, the Rain Country will enter a semi-closed state, and the relevant information will not be circulated. I hope you can help us finish it up. Finally, at least don't let Konoha bother us." Orochimaru said quickly.

"Then what? What can I get?" After thinking about it, Danzo Shimura felt that it was not an excessive request, so he accepted it for the time being and asked directly about his benefits.

"First, you will gain the friendship of the Rain Country. Diarmait will support you to become the Hokage. Secondly, the ninjas of the Rain Country should become a mercenary organization. All future jobs received from you will be discounted by 30%. Finally, if you have any difficult problems, you can ask Diarmait to help you once. Of course, you have to pay for it." Orochimaru said with a smile.

Shimura Danzo frowned and said bluntly, "I asked him to help me once, and I have to pay him? What kind of benefit (money) is this?"

"You don't think that anyone can ask Diarmait to take action, do you? The fact that he can take action is a benefit in itself, isn't it?" Orochimaru said with an evil smile.

It is naturally not easy to invite top masters.

Danzo thought so too.

Remuneration and other things are actually secondary. Just like now, if he can use two forbidden techniques, can he ask Ohnoki to help him catch a tailed beast or something?

Obviously, it's impossible.

Not to mention two, even ten is impossible.

Thinking about it this way, being able to ask Diarmait for help was indeed a good benefit, especially since he was so strong! After thinking for a while, Danzo said, "Okay, then it's settled."

In fact, the rest of the benefits were not very important, and Danzo was too lazy to waste his words on them. Diarmuid had already given him an accurate answer to what he wanted most.

That is 'support him to be Hokage'.

that's enough!

"In that case, I'll take my leave now." Orochimaru responded directly.

Afterwards, without saying any more words to Danzo, he turned around and left.

Danzo looked at the two corpses at his feet, thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Go, secretly send these two corpses to the Hidden Rain Village."

Although there were no one around, as soon as he finished speaking, two ninjas wearing Root masks appeared in front of the bodies of Nagato and Yahiko, half-knelt in front of Danzo and said, "Yes, Danzo-sama!"

Chapter 568: Death of Demigod, the Rain Kingdom is in hand!

Half a month passed.

Don’t look at the fact that Diarmuid and Danzo have joined forces to stir up trouble in the Land of Rain, with all the talk about the Rinnegan, demigods, and Akatsuki, fighting passionately.

But it was indeed due to the arrangements of Danzo and Diarmait that news from the Rain Country was hardly spread.

Some people do know that a civil war broke out in the Land of Rain, and Hanzo Salamander took action against the Akatsuki organization.

But these are all trivial matters. The civil war in a small country obviously cannot move the ninja world.

Moreover, it was not just the Rain Country that was at war. With the end of the Third Shinobi World War, proxy wars soon began, and many of the small countries that were entangled with the big countries were in trouble.

But it doesn't matter, time will smooth it all out.

The country of rain, the village hidden in the rain.

The village, which had never been attacked during the Third Shinobi World War, now seemed extremely chaotic, with a large number of Akatsuki ninjas and Rain Village ninjas fighting each other.

On the island in the middle of the largest inland lake in the Land of Rain outside the Hidden Rain Village, Hanzo the Salamander was looking at the person in front of him with an embarrassed expression.

At this time, Hanzo Salamander was seriously injured. His left arm was obviously broken, with bone spurs sticking out of the muscles and exposed to the air. His entire arm was bent at a strange angle.

His breath was very disordered, and the gas mask on his face was badly damaged. With every breath he took, poison filled the air.

But the person standing in front of him didn't take the poisonous gas seriously and didn't seem to be on guard at all.

"Who... are you?" Hanzo Salamander looked at the man in front of him and asked with a somewhat unwilling tone.

"The Handyman, Rodriguez Diarmait." Diarmait said with a smile.

Compared to the miserable state of Hanzo the Salamander, Diarmait looked very cool, still wearing the same haori hakama, without even a speck of blood on it.

What's even more surprising is that when fighting against an opponent of the demigod level, he didn't seem to have a proper attitude. In one hand, he was holding a smoking pipe, and his attitude was very casual.

"840 Yorozuya..." A hint of surprise flashed across Hanzo's eyes, and then his expression turned ruthless and he said, "Is it Danzo? He wants you to kill me? Or is it that woman from the Akatsuki organization? What benefits did they give you? If you let me go now, I can give you double!"

"At this point, don't you find it ridiculous to say this, Hanzo... sir?" Diarmait smiled, then added, "Or, can you give me two Rain Kingdoms?"

"Two Rain Kingdoms?" Hanzo was stunned for a moment, then his expression changed. "I see, that's what you were planning. That bastard Danzo...didn't he choose to cooperate with me from the beginning?!"

“It seems that you are not yet so foolish as to be beyond redemption.” Diarmait smiled again.

Hanzo's expression changed slightly for a moment, and then, as if he had made up his mind, he said in a deep voice, "What if I'm willing to surrender? I can surrender to you, to the Yorozuya, or even to you, if you want me to join the Yorozuya..."

“Hahahaha…” Diarmait laughed loudly, then said, “With your strength and status, you are indeed qualified to join our Yorozuya. You will also be a very good subordinate…”

Hanzo's face lit up slightly, as if he was relieved.

But before he could say anything, Diarmait shook his head with some regret and said, "But I can't... Originally, there was a poor woman who I had deceived terribly. Her only obsession now is your death. I have already promised her that I will make you die. Although I am not a good person, I don't want to deceive her a second time. So, Hanzo... if you can still remember your past glory, then why not be tough and die a quick death."

In fact, the best option is to subdue Hanzo of the Salamander here and give up that guy Konan.

Things have come to this point, and Konan is no longer of any value. It would be fine to even kill Konan here and then announce to the public that she died in the Hidden Rain Village.

On the contrary, Diarmait can also get the help of Hanzo of the Salamander. With the help of Hanzo of the Salamander's prestige, he can indeed better manage and conquer the Hidden Rain Village and even the Rain Kingdom.

It is a very good choice.

Hanzo of the Salamander said this and made this choice because he believed that there was a great possibility that Diarmait would agree and accept his surrender.

After all, he and Diarmait had no life-and-death feud, it was just a conflict of interests. If he surrendered to Diarmait, it would obviously be more beneficial for Diarmait.

However, when Diarmait thought about letting Hanzo go, he felt that the idea was not making sense.

And although he didn't mind deceiving a woman to get the result he wanted, he did feel a little ashamed towards Konan, and the same was true towards Nagato.

Even when he killed Nagato, it was so quick and decisive.

Humans are such complex creatures, so this time, he chose to stand on Xiaonan's side.

"Bastard..." Hanzo growled, grabbed the end of the sickle chain with his other hand, swung it hard, and smashed it towards Diarmait.

The tip of the ivory and jade-inlaid pipe in Diarmait's hand quickly turned black and was wrapped in the armed color domineering aura. Then, he swung his hand very naturally, as if he was driving away some disturbing insects around him.

The pipe hit the sickle of Hanzo accurately, deflecting it. The next second, Diarmait moved his hand that was on the waist.

A cold light flashed, and the Salamander half-knelt on the spot, his sickle falling powerlessly to the ground, feeling a little lonely.

Diarmait, who was originally standing in front of him, had appeared behind him at some point.

He casually swung the Heart Ferry stained with blood, and the blood on the blade fell onto the wet ground.

With one hand, he formed a beautiful flower shadow, and then Diarmait put the Heart Ferry into the scabbard in a very casual manner, and then exhaled a wisp of smoke from his mouth.

"This time, I have truly avenged you and sacrificed my own interests. From now on, you and I will no longer owe each other anything, Xiaonan." Diarmuid looked at the calm lake and muttered to himself softly.

Although in fact, what he said was obviously unreasonable.

But at this moment, Diarmait no longer felt any guilt in his heart.

Then, Diarmait heard the sound of Hanzo falling to the ground. He did not look back, but he knew that at this moment, the demigod who once dominated the ninja world had already gone to the Pure Land.

With the death of Hanzo the Salamander, the spiritual leader of the Hidden Rain Village, the subsequent war was basically one-sided.

The ninjas of Akatsuki quickly occupied the entire Hidden Rain Village.

At the same time, this moment also announced that the short but fierce civil war in the Rain Kingdom had ended.

The winner is naturally the Akatsuki organization.

From today on, Akatsuki will take over all power in the Rain Country.

That's right, it's everything. It's interesting to say that the Rain Country, a legendary country that almost became the "Sixth Great Country", actually does not have any "Daimyo".

Before this, all power in the Rain Kingdom was in the hands of Hanzo the Salamander.

Ruoshui Novel Group ⑨⑦⑤⑥③(②④①０ and even the Hidden Rain Village were all established by him.

In the distant past, there was a daimyo in the Land of Rain, but not long after the Second Shinobi World War broke out, the daimyo of the Land of Rain died, and even the aristocracy of the Land of Rain all died in the war.

Although there is little evidence, most people believe that this was done by Hanzo the Salamander.

Normally, Hanzo would be hated by the nobles of various countries, and would be charged with some crimes just like they did with Diarmait.

In fact, this situation did exist at that time. Although no charges were made, think about it, the Rain Kingdom was at war with the Earth Kingdom, the Fire Kingdom, and the Wind Kingdom.

In the end, no one could do anything to Hanzo, so these seemingly false charges against him were eventually left unresolved.

All the countries reluctantly accepted his control over the Rain Kingdom.

I have to say that Hanzo of the Salamander was indeed very powerful back then.

In short, no matter who it was, he killed all the daimyo and other nobles during the Second Shinobi World War, but now it is undoubtedly all in Diarmait's favor.

At least he doesn't have to waste time cleaning up the garbage and waste.

In the Hidden Rain Village, in the courtyard where Hanzo the Salamander had lived before.

Diarmait was standing in Hanzo's collection room, observing the demigod's ninjutsu scroll.

Speaking of which, the Hidden Rain Village is different from other ninja villages like Konoha. Although the Hokage has great power, he cannot cover the world with one hand.

On the contrary, the Salamander is half hidden in the Hidden Rain Village, and that is the one who has the final say.

There is no administrative building in this village, and the center is the courtyard of Hanzo the Salamander.

All the 'officials' who keep the Hidden Rain Village running are, in fact, the servants of Hanzo.

This has become the tradition and characteristic of the Land of Rain. In the original story, after Nagato took over the Hidden Rain Village, he did the same thing, centralizing power. There was no decentralization, and there were no messy "seniors" or "elders" and the like.

He is the one and only God!

As for Diarmait, it's the same. He plans to turn the power center of the Rain Kingdom into a jack of all trades.

As for the rest of the messy people, don’t even think about getting any benefits. Just be a tool.

Centralization is the hard truth.

Hanzo of the Salamander is indeed considered to be the one with the "water-based ninjutsu that no one can surpass."

Most of the ninjutsu scrolls in this room are water-based or ninjutsu related to water-attribute chakra.

At this time, the technique in Diarmuid's hand was the A-level water-style ninjutsu, the Rain Tiger Freedom Technique.

He was familiar with this jutsu. He had the impression that it was the jutsu used by Tendo Pain when the Akatsuki organization later ruled the Rain Country.
