From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

You have to know that during this period, she gave birth to a child and Kyuubi, and she was able to do this. You can imagine how strong her vitality is. …

After all, she is the mother of the child of destiny, and Uzumaki Naruto has successfully inherited this tenacious vitality.

Listening to Sarutobi Hiruzen's words, Namikaze Minato also nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go back and take Kushina there."

He felt that what Sarutobi Hiruzen said was right. He was extremely busy and the most he could do was to get off work on time. It was impossible for him to skip work. He was not only a husband and a father-to-be, he was also the Hokage of Konoha.

Therefore, during the day, when he was working, he would often worry about whether Kushina would suddenly feel like giving birth when she was alone at home. …

Teacher Jiraiya passed away more than two months ago, and there is no one to take care of the family.

This will inevitably affect his work state, and he will often be distracted and absent-minded.

So if Kushina, Biwako Sarutobi, and Koharu Utane could stay in the secret birthing place first, with two experienced people taking care of them, Minato Namikaze felt that he would be more at ease.

It's good for him, and even better for Kushina.

There is no reason to refuse.

"Well, that's all I want to say, hahaha. I won't delay you from going back. Is there anything else you haven't finished? I'll help you deal with it." Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a smile.

Namikaze Minato scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said, "This... How can I be so embarrassed?"

(bccj) "Just think of it as a kind of care from the senior to the junior. Of course, if you are not happy, I will leave." Sarutobi Hiruzen teased again.

Namikaze Minato was just being polite, so how could he not be happy? He immediately changed his tone and said, "Thank you so much, Sandaime-sama!"

"Hahaha, go ahead." Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand and said with a smile.

Minato Namikaze also smiled, then used Flying Thunder God and flew directly back home from the office.

Sarutobi Hiruzen leisurely sat down at his desk, muttering to himself with emotion: "As expected, I still can't sit still, hehe... But it's great to be young."

Minato Namikaze was the one who was brought up as Hokage by him. Later, he often helped Minato Namikaze to handle official business in the first few months. After Minato Namikaze was able to take responsibility on his own, Sarutobi Hiruzen joined the advisory group. So he knew all the things that Minato Namikaze had to deal with now, and with the experience of being a Hokage, he was not unfamiliar with the job and quickly helped Minato Namikaze deal with the accumulated work.

On the other side, the Uchiha clan’s territory.

The Uchiha clan's territory in Konoha is very large. After all, it is one of the most powerful families in the ninja world, comparable to the Senju clan.

At the same time, the Uchiha clan was indeed flourishing. They could completely control Konoha's huge security department with just the ninjas of their own clan, and even had a lot of spare space. People like Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Shisui later joined the Anbu.

This is not an isolated case. You can imagine how many ninjas there are in the Uchiha clan.

Apart from the ninjas, there are more ordinary clansmen. After all, even for the Uchiha family, it is impossible for all the members of the family to become ninjas.

Which of these real powerful families in the ninja world is not developing in various industries?

Just like the Hyuga clan, many members of the clan are engaged in business.

Therefore, the Uchiha clan's territory is very large, but it is also very full.

At this time, on the edge of this base, there was a small courtyard that had been vacant for a long time, looked very dilapidated, and had few people.

Uchiha Obito is in this courtyard at this moment.

This is his home.

He used to live here when he was a ninja of Konoha.

The reason why it is so remote is that Uchiha Obito himself seems a bit "shameful" in the Uchiha clan. The Uchiha clan, which has produced many geniuses, has a last-place person like him. Of course, it is shameful and looked down upon, so his home seems remote.

At that time, he lived with his grandmother, and his parents died in the war. Later, his grandmother passed away naturally because of her old age. Uchiha Obito lived alone and was lonely.

It wasn't until I met the Minato team again that I felt like I had found my 'home' again, right?

Logically speaking, Uchiha Obito had already "died in battle" and his grandmother had passed away, so this house should have been reclaimed by the Uchiha clan.

But unfortunately, Uchiha Obito was a war hero of Konoha and had a good reputation, so the Uchiha clan could not do such a thing. What's more, it was just a remote small courtyard and there was no need to pay attention to it.

So, this courtyard was left like this, so when Uchiha Obito looked at the surroundings and the furnishings in the house, he could still feel a sense of familiarity.

Because nothing has changed.

He was standing in the yard, beneath the apple tree. He remembered his grandmother, who, as a child, would sit under the tree to enjoy the cool breeze, knitting sweaters for him and always giving him gentle instruction. "Grandma, am I more like Dad or Mom?" "Well... both, right?" "Really?"

"Well, Obito, you must become a gentle, kind person who helps everyone."

"Don't worry, grandma. I helped the vegetable seller in the shopping street unload goods today. Doing good deeds every day is my ninja way." "Oh oh, our Obito is indeed a good boy." Scenes from the memories flashed through Obito's mind.

Looking at the fruit tree with red apples hanging on it, Uchiha Obito couldn't break free from the memory for a long time. Tears flowed from the corners of his eyes under the mask.

"We can't go back, grandma..." Uchiha Obito suddenly whispered softly, then he closed his eyes. When he opened them again, his eyes had become much more cruel.

He reached out, picked an apple from the branch, lifted a corner of his mask, and took a bite.

It tastes exactly as I remember it, but for some reason, it tastes so bitter in my mouth.

When a breeze blew through the courtyard, there was no one left in the yard.

There was only one bitten apple, lying alone on the ground, stained with dirty mud, looking very miserable.

Chapter 603 I am friends with Black Zetsu! ?

No one knew how Uchiha Obito was moving around in Konoha, but he didn't come out for four days.

During this period, there was no movement in Konoha and no signs of trouble.

So Diarmait and Black Zetsu didn't care.

After all, although Uchiha Obito could not compare with Diarmuid, he was indeed not a rookie. He was a guy who could fight with Minato Namikaze on good terms. If he really made any mistakes in Konoha, at worst he would not be unable to make any noise.

These past few days, Diarmait and Black Zetsu had a pretty pleasant time.

The two of them happily set up a tent in the woods, just like they were camping, chatting about all sorts of things all day long.

Black Zetsu himself has a very good impression of Diarmait. On the one hand, it is because Diarmait is very strong, and this good impression is based on respect and yearning for the strong. At the same time, it also includes some expectations, that is, if a strong person like Diarmait joins, the success rate of his plan will obviously increase a lot.

On the one hand, for some reason, many of Diarmait's words always touched his heart, as if they were his confidants, which touched Black Zetsu, the thousand-year-old orphan.

And unlike Uchiha Madara, in Black Zetsu's view, Uchiha Madara is actually a "tool man" being used, and he is not aware of it.

Once the Moon Eye Project is officially successful and the Infinite Tsukuyomi is cast, his mother Kaguya Otsutsuki will be released.

At that time, Uchiha Madara will become a 'living sacrifice', which is also one of Black Zetsu's plans.

Therefore, from the very beginning, he did not have any other expectations for Uchiha Madara.

But Diarmait was different, because Diarmait was simply used by him, perhaps with some deception, but this trend could be changed.

Black Zetsu felt more and more that Diarmait was a talented person, and perhaps he could introduce him to his mother in the future.

It's not bad to be a strong fighter. After all, if my mother wants to rule the world, she does need some spokespersons.

And the power that Diarmuid seeks can be given to him when the time comes, right?

That way there's no deception, right?

In particular, Black Zetsu knew some secrets, such as the internal conflicts within the Otsutsuki clan, and that his mother was actually in a very dangerous situation.

It would definitely be a good thing to have more helpers.

Thinking of this, Black Absolute became even more enthusiastic and friendly towards Diarmait.

Diarmait was also idle. He had nothing to do. Every day, besides practicing, he just chatted with Black Zetsu.

In his opinion, Black Zetsu is definitely a good person to chat with, because this guy is really knowledgeable and can handle any topic. Moreover, he can openly tell Diarmait many stories and news that are from the past but have nothing to do with him.

For example, there are the witches who have been passed down from generation to generation in the Land of Demons for hundreds of years, as well as the sealed monsters, and the evil underworld.

Diarmait probably knew these things, but he didn't know them clearly, and they had nothing to do with Black Zetsu, so he naturally told Diarmait everything.

Diarmait felt very happy and pleased. How could he not be happy with such a chat?

"So, what exactly is Huangquan? I've also been studying things about the soul recently. What about the King of the Underworld in the Pure Land...also called Pluto or Yama, and the God of Death? What kind of existence are they? Do you know?" Diarmait asked while grilling the fish.

From time to time, he would pick up the pipe hanging around his waist and take a puff, looking very comfortable.

In the past few thousand years, it was rare for Black Zetsu to be able to relax and chat with others like this. Before that, he was always calculating this and that.

So he was in a more relaxed state of mind at this time. After listening to Diarmait's question, he thought about it for a while and found that this had no impact on his plan. Then he began to consider how to explain it to Diarmait.

"Yellow Springs is not worth mentioning. He is just a kind of evil spirit in the world. However, he has indeed broken free from the constraints of life and death. If you have to say, he is actually quite similar to the tailed beasts. By the way, Diarmuid, do you know the concept of the existence of the tailed beasts?" Black Zetsu explained after thinking for a while, and asked another question.

In the past, they didn't have much contact, so Hei Kejue always called Diarmait "Sir".

But Diarmait found that Black Zetsu was actually quite interesting and knowledgeable, and he really needed to get some unclear knowledge from him, so he naturally talked to Black Zetsu and became a so-called "friend", and asked him not to call him "sir", but just call him "Diarmait".

This way, it seems that the relationship between the two has become much closer.

"I know. It's a kind of chakra aggregation that wanders freely in this world. So even if a tailed beast dies, it will be revived after a period of time through the aggregation of chakra. That's roughly how it is," Diarmait said after thinking for a moment. Black Zetsu nodded. Diarmait was right. He then continued to explain, "That fellow Yomi is the same. However, he is a combination of soul power and filthy evil spirits. This soul power itself cannot transcend the constraints of life and death, but with the power of the world's evil spirits, it allows him to do so. Therefore, he became a so-called immortal monster. He can only be sealed, not killed, because he can also be revived with the help of evil spirits. In essence, he is quite similar to the tailed beasts..."

“I see.” Diarmait nodded, and then asked, “What is the evil spirit then?”

"To put it simply, it is a dark power condensed from the messy negative emotions in this world, such as hatred, evil, jealousy, etc. This power can come from humans or from any creature with emotions. It has existed since ancient times. It can also be said to be a law of the operation of this world." Black Zetsu thought for a while and said.

"It's really a power that makes people uncomfortable just by hearing about it. Huang Quan... I didn't expect this guy to have such a powerful background." Diarmait said with a smile.

Black Zetsu looked at the Heart Ferry hanging from Diarmait's waist, and then said, "This sword of yours should be able to kill him completely, because I can feel that it also contains extremely strong evil power. What surprises me even more is that your will has not been distorted by this power. Normally, if a person spends too much time with evil power, he will become very abnormal, even crazy... Besides, Huang Quan is not a powerful guy..."

"How do you know I'm not crazy?" Diarmait suddenly asked again.

Black Zetsu???

Ah, this. …

For a moment, he was unable to answer.

Diarmait laughed loudly upon seeing this and said, “Hahaha, it was just a joke.”

As for why he was not affected by the power of Xindu?

Diarmait himself didn't know. He didn't even know the Heart Ferry had such a side effect. He just thought it only caused some discomfort when he first used it. He always thought that the Heart Ferry had been conquered by him and accepted him as its master. ... Now it seems that it is not that simple.

Then, without a doubt, the problem lies with me, that is, perhaps it is my own golden finger. Iron will, completely immune to the influence of the heart crossing?

Diarmait didn't think much about this question. Instead, he asked, "Huang Quan is indeed not a very powerful being, otherwise he wouldn't be sealed into such a horrible state. But from what you said, it seems that there is another existence related to the evil spirit, but it is far more powerful than Huang Quan?"

"Of course there is. That guy also calls himself a God." Black Zetsu thought for a while and said.

"Who?" Diarmait asked curiously.

"I don't know his name, maybe he doesn't have any name at all, but he has existed for a very long time, similar to the God of Death, Yama, etc. I think he has no self-will now, and can indeed be compared with the God of Death, Yama, etc." Black Zetsu thought for a while and said.

"I heard that the god of death is lower than Yama?" Diarmait thought for a moment and said.

"Yes, but it's also true that he is a conceptual God." Black Zetsu first confirmed it, and then gave a new explanation.
