From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

But at the same time, he could also feel that the power of Wood Release, which he had been unable to mobilize before, could now be used by him.

Of course, he didn't really do anything and was waiting for everything to happen naturally.

Speaking of which, Jiraiya has already left the Hidden Rain Village. After he had a talk with Orochimaru that day, he didn't actually go out for a drink, but left the Hidden Rain Village somewhat lonely.

Maybe he is on his way back to Konoha now?

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but Diarmuid always felt that after he turned into a tree, his control over natural energy, the use of fairy chakra, and the mastery of the fairy mode seemed to have improved.

“Could it be that because I turned into a tree, I have unintentionally become more in tune with nature?” Diarmait thought to himself.

But he soon overturned this conclusion and came to a new conclusion.

The new conclusion is that the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai and the Sage Mode complement each other and are a combined force.

People who possess Wood Release Kekkei Genkai will be more adept at using the power of senjutsu!

"From this point of view, it is not unreasonable that Hashirama Senju is stronger than Uchiha Madara." Diarmuid said to himself.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a change in his body. Then, he stiffly lowered his head to look at the sapling on his shoulder. It seemed to be slowly shrinking, absorbing the power of the Wood Release into his body?

This scene brought a smile to Diarmait's eyes. As expected, Orochimaru was extremely reliable. Did he really come right?

I think once all the branches and leaves that are visible outside the body are retracted, I will be able to completely control the power of Wood Release, right?

At the current rate, it should be achieved today.

This made Diarmait very happy, and he was about to regain his handsome appearance.

The immortal technique has been achieved, and the wood escape technique is about to be completed. After that, all you have to do is to master the related techniques. You can go to Konoha to grab some, or you can develop some other techniques on your own.

So, now all that’s left is the research on the Sharingan or the Samsara Eye?

No. …There are also things related to the soul.

You can't just practice external skills and ignore internal matters. After your physical body and constitution are strong enough, your soul must also be made stronger.

And based on Diarmait's current understanding of the Sharingan.

He wanted to fuse a pair of Sharingan, but he had no control over it. It all depended on Orochimaru and Sasori's methods. However, he still had great confidence in these two high-end scientific research talents.

But once you have awakened the Sharingan through fusion, how to open it becomes a difficult problem.

Diarmait did not intend to directly fuse a pair of Kaleidoscopes or something like that. On the one hand, Kaleidoscopes themselves were relatively rare. On the other hand, he wanted to see what kind of Kaleidoscope abilities he could capture if he opened his eyes on his own.

Therefore, opening his eyes is also a difficult problem that he needs to consider.

As we all know, the Uchiha clan's eye opening is related to mental strength. The simple way is to stimulate yourself, and the most effective way is to watch the people you care about die with your own eyes.

Through the power of anger and grief, one can greatly stimulate one's spirit. At certain moments, this spiritual power will surge, thereby stimulating the Sharingan and opening up a stronger state.

However, although this approach is very effective, it is indeed extremely extreme. Therefore, whether it is Uchiha Madara or Senju Tobirama, although they are obviously hostile to each other, they both agree on one thing, that is, the Uchiha clan is a cursed clan.

If you want to gain power, you must sacrifice the people or things you cherish.

Diarmuid obviously couldn't take this path.

On the one hand, it is because he will not kill the people he cherishes or watch them die just for the sake of gaining power.

On the other hand, he felt that there was no one in this world who could make him so sad that he would open his eyes.

Scorpion? Kakuzu? Orochimaru? Or even Biwa Juzo?

He cared about his partners, but not to the point of being miserable and unacceptable.

In the white fog and rain, it was even more impossible. Although they had a natural relationship, in fact, there was not much emotion between them. To put it bluntly, Diarmait only treated the other party as a vase to comfort himself in this world.

Therefore, even if he killed everyone around him, he probably wouldn't open his eyes.

The people who can truly open his eyes are not in this world, such as Gion, Tina, Queen Stussy in One Piece, and even Marshal Sengoku and Sakaski may be able to open his eyes.

He truly cherishes and has heavy emotional ties to those people.

Therefore, Diarmuid could not open his eyes in this way unless he could return to the pirate world. But even if he could, he would not do it.

So if you want to open your eyes on your own, you have to use other methods.

Theoretically speaking, the opening of the Sharingan is ultimately a question of whether one's mental strength is strong or not, and it has no necessary connection with whether people around him die or not.

It's just that someone died, which stimulated himself, causing his mental strength to surge and lead to his eyes opening.

Therefore, the fundamental reason is that the mental power is strong. When the mental power reaches a level strong enough to open the next stage of Sharingan, the eyes will open naturally.

According to Orochimaru and Sasori, as well as some relevant knowledge and information that I have collected.

Mental power has a very deep connection with the soul.

It can be said that those with a strong soul will inevitably have strong mental power.

The two complement each other.

So even though he hasn't found a way to fuse the Sharingan yet, Diarmait has already begun preparing for a powerful soul and mental power.

According to Orochimaru's words, the methods to enhance one's soul power are extremely rare, and he only knows one, which is the secret technique of spiritualization.

Diarmait did not doubt that Orochimaru was lying.

Because according to the impression in his mind, Orochimaru did not lie. He used the Non-Corpse Reincarnation Technique many times, which caused his soul and mental strength to often fall into a weak state, and it took a long time (a lot of money) to slowly recover. But, Non-Corpse Reincarnation Technique must be performed once every three years.

Therefore, Orochimaru had no way to avoid this weakness of soul and spirit.

If he knew such ninjutsu as strengthening the soul, he would have used it long ago. In this way, he would not have been restrained to that extent by the Sharingan.

So it can be seen that Orochimaru really doesn't know much information in this regard.

The same is true for Diarmait. The only direction he can grasp is actually the secret art of spiritualization.

This technique must be mastered. It will be very useful to both myself and Orochimaru.

By practicing the secret art of spiritualization, one can enhance one's soul power, and the enhancement of soul power will indirectly lead to the strengthening of mental power.

The strength of mental power will affect the opening of the Sharingan.

It’s a perfect closed loop.

This shows that the secret art of spiritualization is very important to Diarmait, and he must get it.

Orochimaru's body... is of great significance, as it determines whether he can find Tsunade, the mysterious fat sheep.

"I don't know what's going on in Kakuzu. ...But it's only been two or three days, there shouldn't be any movement." Diarmait murmured.

At that moment, Bai Wu Yu Li suddenly walked in from the courtyard, holding an umbrella and saying, "Lord Diarmait, there's a strange fellow who calls himself Black Zetsu who wants to see you." Diarmait raised his eyebrows, smiled, and said, "Bring him here." "Yes," Bai Wu Yu Li nodded.

Chapter 588 Black Zetsu: Thank you!

When Black Zetsu came to the Hidden Rain Village this time, he didn't dare to do anything fancy and just lined up at the door honestly.

Because his appearance was so distinctive, the guard at the door immediately recognized him as not a human. ...No, he recognized him as the person assigned by the higher-ups.

Therefore, he entered the Hidden Rain Village smoothly.

This time he came to Diarmait mainly to discuss the matter of seizing the Nine-Tails from Konoha Village.

See if we can first have in-depth contact and cooperation with Wanshiwu in the form of employment to get a relatively good start.

Following in the white mist and rain, Black Zetsu kept thinking about what attitude he should adopt and how to speak when he meets Diarmait so that he can perform better.

It can not only invite Diarmait to participate, but also show our sincerity.

Anyway, Black Zetsu walked into Diarmait's courtyard with a lot on his mind.

"We're here." Bai Wu Yu Li said simply to Hei Zetsu, then nodded at him and left.

Hei Jue was stunned for a moment. What was going on? Aren't you going to take me inside?

Getting caught in the rain in the yard?

Also, in this Rain Country environment, why would we need a courtyard?

But for a moment, he was a little hesitant, not knowing whether he should take the initiative and go into the house to find Diarmait.

So after leaving in the white fog and rain, he still stood in the courtyard for a long time.

After hesitating for a while, Black Zetsu gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, and prepared to go into the house to take a look.

But before he could take a step, he suddenly heard Diarmait's voice.

"What are you thinking about after standing there for so long? How do you want to talk to me? At least say hello first? Otherwise it would be too impolite." Black Zetsu was startled and looked towards the direction where the voice came from. Then, a dramatic look of surprise appeared on his dark face.

"The tree spirit spoke?" Black Zetsu exclaimed.

Because he found that the person who was speaking seemed to be the tree in the distance?

853But why is the voice the voice of Diarmait?

Eh? No, this aura is also Diarmait?

As soon as Black Zetsu opened his mouth, Diarmait's expression turned dark. You, a pitcher plant, have the nerve to talk about me?

Black Zetsu also reacted at this time, quickly restraining his surprised expression, and said somewhat awkwardly, "I am very sorry, Lord Diarmait, I really didn't expect you to have such an interest. You are experiencing nature firsthand, right? I think your realm is beyond my comprehension. I am very sorry."

Diarmuid sighed silently in his heart and said, "I'll just have to endure it. You bastard, I'll kill you once I complete the steps of my plan."

Diarmait didn't explain anything, but asked directly: "Why are you looking for me again? Are you still asking me to return the Samsara Eye to you?"

Black Zetsu quickly shook his head upon hearing this, and then said, "No, there's no rush for that matter. I'm already satisfied that Lord Diarmait is interested in what I have to say. I believe that time will allow us to trust each other more. I also feel that the Rinnegan and the Outer Path Statue are very safe with Lord Diarmait."

"You are quite good at talking." Diarmait said with a smile.

At the same time, Black Zetsu was also extremely shocked. After a brief moment of surprise, he had now completely reacted. Diarmait was emitting a strong aura of Wood Release!

He finally understood what was going on!

Black Zetsu is naturally no stranger to Wood Release. He knows many secrets himself. At the same time, White Zetsu and Uchiha Obito beside him both have the power of Wood Release.

So he was indeed not unfamiliar with the aura of Wood Release.

It was just that Diarmait's appearance before was too terrifying, so he couldn't react for a while.

Now, he has realized that this big guy seems to have become even stronger!

But... to be honest, he had never seen this kind of Wood Release, and he still felt a little strange (bccj).

Although he understood what was going on, Black Zetsu still didn't say much about it.

"This is the respect and attitude we should have towards a strong person." Black Zetsu praised again.
