From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

Diarmait remained silent, then asked, "So? If it's not about these things, why did you come to me?"

"After I went back, I have been thinking about how to maintain a good relationship with you, Lord Diarmait. This time, I came with some ideas. We plan to hire the Yorozuya organization to help us complete a task. I think this may be a good start for our mutual cooperation. Lord Diarmait, please do not refuse." Black Zetsu said quickly.

As he spoke, he was also observing Diarmait.

Then he discovered that in this short period of time, the strange and obvious Wood Release power on Diarmait's body seemed to have subsided a lot?

What is this scenario?

He didn't know and didn't dare to ask more.

Diarmuid was also feeling the changes in the power in his body at this time. Indeed, the power of Wood Release was flowing back faster and faster. It would take three days to evolve to this point, but it might only take half a day to return to normal, or even less!

Diarmuid was very satisfied as he watched the branches on his arms shrink into lumps and then return to being flat, revealing spots of normal skin.

I was in a very good mood, and when I was in a good mood, my tone became much better.

He asked in a relaxed tone, "Really? What do you want to hire us for?"

"This..." Black Zetsu hesitated for a moment, wondering whether to tell Diarmuid about the news about Konoha's Jinchuriki. But after a brief hesitation, he quickly said, "It's like this. We have obtained some important intelligence about Konoha Village in the Land of Fire. Their Nine-Tails Jinchuriki will give birth in about eight months. As you know, our goal is to collect the tailed beasts, and the best time for a tailed beast Jinchuriki to give birth is when they are giving birth. Therefore, we plan to attack Konoha at that time and seize the Nine-Tails' power."

Having said that, Black Zetsu paused for a moment before continuing, "However, as the strongest ninja village among the five great nations, Konoha boasts many formidable masters, including the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and others. They are all quite formidable. Even if the Jinchūriki is giving birth, we dare not underestimate Konoha. We need powerful external aid to help us manage the situation. The first person I thought of was Lord Diarmait. If you can help, I believe this operation will definitely be a success."

"Hahahaha... I see." Diarmait laughed loudly, and while he was laughing, one of his arms had completely recovered to normal.

Black Zetsu was a little surprised when he saw this scene, but he was not particularly shocked, because he didn't know what Diarmait was doing. He thought Diarmait was able to control these Wood Release techniques, but his taste was a little unique.

So I was just a little surprised, nothing else.

Seeing Diarmait smiling so happily, Black Zetsu heaved a sigh of relief and continued, "For this mission, we are prepared to hire with the highest standards. It would be even better if Lord Diarmait could do it personally. For this, we have prepared a reward..."

However, before he could count or finish his words, Diarmait waved his hand and said, "Alright, no need to say more. I'm not very interested in your business."

Black Zetsu???

Are you not interested?

If you're not interested, why did you laugh so loudly just now?

What a waste of people’s feelings!

However, Black Zetsu did not expect that Diarmait's rejection would be so decisive, which made him feel awkward for a moment. He didn't know what to say and his expression was very embarrassed.

However, at this moment, Diarmait changed the subject: "However, I am indeed planning to go to Konoha to do something soon. In view of your sincerity, I can cooperate with you a little at that time. For example, I can stir up some trouble in Konoha to facilitate your work."

Black Zetsu didn't expect that there would be such an unexpected turn of events. He originally came to Diarmait to "hire" Diarmait, but in fact he came to "give money" in order to establish a good relationship.

Before the Nine-Tailed Fox came, Uchiha Obito vowed that there would be no problem if he was alone, and he could use the Mangekyō Sharingan to control the Nine-Tailed Fox.

Moreover, with his Kamui and his understanding of Konoha, Black Zetsu thought about it again and again and felt that what Uchiha Obito said made sense.

He should be fine on his own.

As it turns out, there is indeed no problem, but this guy is mentally ill!

After getting the Nine-Tails, he didn't run away quickly, but instead he went on a wild goose chase in Konoha. The result was that everything went to waste, the plan failed, and Black Zetsu fainted in the toilet crying.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, Uchiha Obito's bold move directly affected the subsequent failure of the entire Moon Eye Project!

If he had obtained the Nine-Tails earlier, Uzumaki Naruto's fate would have been completely changed. He might have been happily living in Konoha as the eldest master of the Uzumaki clan, and would not have been ostracized by others.

It is even possible that he cannot even play with Uchiha Sasuke.

There is a certain possibility that he will become a playboy or something, but the threat will never be as big as in the original story, and there will be no Nine-Tailed Fox to use.

It is easy to imagine how disappointing Uchiha Obito's move was.

Black Zetsu was very surprised. Although the hiring was not successful, the goal was indeed achieved. He clearly felt that their relationship with the Yorozuya had become a little closer.

However, thinking about the importance of this matter, he couldn't help but say: "Lord Diarmait, we attach great importance to the Nine-Tailed Fox. I hope you can take it into consideration..."

"Don't worry, I'm not an unreasonable person. How about this? I won't take action until you take the Nine-Tails out of that Jinchūriki's body. I will take action after you succeed. This will create some chaos and cover your evacuation. How about it?" Diarmait said very generously.

Black Zetsu was also quite satisfied. Look, what does it mean to be a big shot? What does it mean to be magnanimous? This is it!

As expected of Diarmait, he is quite open-minded.

Now that he thinks about it, this is indeed perfect.

Obito sneaked into Konoha secretly, and then seized the opportunity to capture the Nine-Tails. Once he captured the Nine-Tails, Diarmait would launch his own actions to disrupt Konoha, which would inevitably serve as a cover for Uchiha Obito's actions to a certain extent. At that time, Obito could take the Nine-Tails and quickly evacuate from Konoha... With Diarmait covering the rear, it was perfect!

Thinking of this, Black Zetsu said excitedly: "Thank you very much, Master Diarmait. Although I was not able to hire you, I will contribute some money to the Yorozuya Organization to express our sincerity. I hope you will not refuse..."

You are eager to give me money, why should I refuse?

Diarmait naturally would not refuse. The reason why he did not want to take this task was that he did not want to ruin his reputation. What if Diarmait took over the task and failed to complete it in the end, that would be terrible.

Of course, if he wants to accomplish it, he can definitely accomplish it.

However, helping Black Zetsu and others to capture the Nine-Tailed Fox at this point in time is completely against his own interests.

So Diarmait did not intend to do so.

He gave Black Zetsu a perfect answer, and Black Zetsu was indeed very satisfied.

He was laughing happily at this moment. Perhaps he would never have thought about what kind of bad teammate he had.

Looking at his dark face, I felt a little sorry for him.

Right

Chapter 589 Diarmuid: I didn’t expect there would be an unexpected gain! ?

After Black Zetsu finished discussing the serious matters with Diarmait, he found that he was not "expelled" by Diarmait this time, and he felt even happier.

Look, the boss is willing to talk to me more. Doesn’t this prove that our relationship has improved?

In short, he was very happy. If Diarmait didn't drive him away, he certainly wouldn't choose to leave on his own initiative.

I chatted with Diarmait there. This guy was actually quite knowledgeable. After all, he had lived for so many years. Even if he was a pig, he should have become a wise man.

Diarmait was willing to talk to him more this time, partly because the power of his Wood Release was rapidly gathering, and he was in a very good mood.

On the other hand, this guy is kind of pitiful...

Think about it, what's wrong with Black Zetsu?

In fact, Black Zetsu did nothing wrong. From a standpoint, he is the consciousness of Kaguya Otsutsuki and considers himself to be Kaguya Otsutsuki's son.

Since he was born, he has had only one goal in life, which is to rescue his mother who was sealed away by his two rebellious sons from the moon.

What's wrong with this!?

Erlang Shen also split the mountain to save his mother, Chenxiang also split the mountain to save his mother, and Black Zetsu wanted to open the moon to save his mother - what's wrong with that?

They should even be a couple because they are moved by him!

For thousands of years, they have been working tirelessly, and their filial piety is truly touching.

But in the end, he still became a big villain. Although he was reunited with his mother, the way he did it was a bit sad. They were sealed together...

With a little bit of sympathy, Diarmait had a good chat with Black Zetsu.

Perhaps it was because of this feeling in his heart that some emotion unconsciously appeared in his words, which made Black Zetsu suddenly feel like he had found a confidant in the world. This big man Diarmuid would occasionally say something so thought-provoking, as if it touched his own heart, which made him feel vaguely moved.

Touched by this, and wanting to establish a good relationship with Diarmait, Black Zetsu immediately thought of Diarmait's Wood Release power.

When I first saw Diarmait, he was still a tree. Now, he has basically returned to his normal appearance, except that the roots under his feet have not yet completely retracted.

After thinking it over again and again, Black Zetsu finally couldn't help but ask, "Lord Diarmait, are you practicing the power of Wood Release?"

"Oh? Did you figure it out? Hahaha." Diarmait smiled and said nothing, but it was also an admission.

Black Zetsu was a little confused. How could anyone not see it from your look?

However, he did not complain about this, but nodded and said: "My Lord Madara once did some research on Wood Release, so I know a little bit about it."

Diarmait thought Black Zetsu was just looking for something to talk about, so he didn't take it seriously. He nodded casually and said, "Really?"

"Well, as far as I know, mastering the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai is one thing, and developing Wood Release ninjutsu is another. I wonder if Lord Diarmait is interested in Wood Release ninjutsu?" Black Zetsu suddenly asked.

Diarmait???

How come there is suddenly a surprise?

At this moment, he also reacted. Yes, he had always assumed that only Konoha had the Wood Release Ninjutsu scroll, but when he thought about it carefully, that was not right. Uchiha Madara should also have it!

Because Uchiha Madara has used the Tree World Descent, the Flower World Descent, and the Wood Dragon Technique!

It is obvious that all of this was copied from Hashirama Senju, and he himself has not developed any Wood Release technique.

But this also proves that he does have Hashirama Senju's Wood Release Ninjutsu!

Thinking of this, Diarmuid felt happier. The Wood Release that Orochimaru mastered was of a relatively low level, while the Wood Release that Uchiha Madara mastered was obviously of a high level.

Maybe he didn't master the True Thousand Hands or something like that, but the Tree World Descent, Wood Dragon Technique, etc. are powerful enough.

Therefore, Diarmait looked at Black Zetsu and nodded, saying, "You are right. I have only mastered the power of Jutsu-tun for a short time, and I haven't developed any wood-style ninjutsu yet. It seems that you have the relevant techniques?"

"That's right. My Lord Madara once studied the power of Wood Release and has some powerful Wood Release techniques in his hands, such as 'Tree World Descent, Wood Dragon Technique, Multiple Wood Clone Technique, and Ranking Technique'. If Lord Diarmait is interested..." Black Zetsu smiled when he said this.

"Sure enough, none of the Wood Releases that Uchiha Madara knows are simple. But then again, he can't use simple ones like Tree Binding and Eternal Burial... so naturally he's too lazy to learn them, right?" Diarmait thought to himself.

There is no need to explain the descent from the tree world, the art of wood dragon, multiple wood clones and so on.

But the ranking technique is definitely a powerful Wood Release Ninjutsu that is often underestimated.

It can almost be called the top defensive ninjutsu in the Naruto world.

The art of ranking, the word "bangpai" is taken from a magical tool of Thousand-Armed Guanyin, which is said to be very powerful and can avoid all kinds of magic.

In fact, Hashirama Senju's ranking technique does have extraordinary defensive power. He once used this move to block Uchiha Madara's "Power Susanoo".

And it was completely unharmed, so you can imagine how strong its defense was.

"I am indeed interested. If you have any conditions, just tell me directly." Diarmuid said with a smile.

Orochimaru has some low-level skills in Wood Release Ninjutsu, and Black Zetsu has this extremely powerful Wood Release Ninjutsu.

Although he might be able to obtain a more complete scroll of Wood Release Ninjutsu by causing trouble in Konoha later, Orochimaru was just guessing that these things were now in the Book of Seales, and no one could be sure that they were definitely there.

What if not?

So if we can get it from Black Zetsu, we definitely can't miss the opportunity.

Black Zetsu smiled and said, "I simply hope to gain the friendship of Master Diarmait and the Yorozuya."

"I thought you would take the opportunity to say that you would use the Rinnegan or something like that Outer Path Golem..." Diarmait said with a smile.
