From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

Because of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not believe that the masked man was Uchiha Madara. If he was really Uchiha Madara, it could not have been him who was defeated yesterday. It must have been Namikaze Minato.

This is not because he looks down on Minato Namikaze, but because Uchiha Madara is too strong.

After a brief pause, Sarutobi Hiruzen continued, "As for the masked man last night, whether he has an accomplice, he should have, and that person has extremely strong stealth capabilities...." "Yes, Diarmait also said that his companions have strong hiding abilities, and it is difficult for him to find them." Kakashi suddenly remembered something and added.

"Yes." Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, then said with a gloomy expression: "The Book of Seals was stolen just before the Nine-Tails appeared. Combining the timing at that time and the tacit understanding of the Nine-Tails' appearance, as well as the information available now, I basically judge that the masked man's companions stole the Book of Seals during this period of chaos."

Chapter 617: The natural longing for Gion.

After that, Konoha continued to sort out the situation, and when the situation was almost sorted out, a wanted notice was issued for the so-called "masked man".

Then some information was announced to the public.

Next, there was the memorial service.

The Konoha ninjas who died in battle, the innocent Konoha villagers who were harmed, and... the Fourth Hokage who sacrificed his life. Namikaze Minato.

Thanks to Diarmuid's help, Kushina Uzumaki did not die in this disaster.

So Uzumaki Naruto did not become an orphan.

On the contrary, although he is still a baby now, everyone in Konoha knows that the Fourth Hokage has a son.

Therefore, Uzumaki Naruto became the son of a hero, and many people came to Kushina's house to visit him.

Similarly, because Uzumaki Kushina was still alive, Konoha had made significant progress with the fishing reels, and unlike the original story, the Kyuubi was no longer the primary cause of the disaster, with the Masked Man now the main culprit. Furthermore, Kushina's status as the Hokage's widow, her strong connections within Konoha's upper echelons, her good reputation among the people, and the secrecy surrounding her former Jinchūriki meant she wasn't harassed or ostracized by the village, as Diarmuid had suggested to Minato Namikaze.

The same goes for Uzumaki Naruto. His identity as the Jinchūriki was kept strictly confidential, and he was not harassed.

Perhaps, this time, as the son of Hokage and a hero, he can spend a relatively good childhood in Konoha.

On the contrary, the Uchiha clan was ostracized in various ways.

The top leaders of Konoha naturally knew that the Uchiha clan had nothing to do with this, but they could not absolutely prove that the Uchiha clan had nothing to do with this.

What's more, even if they have evidence, they can't stand on the side of the Uchiha clan, otherwise how will the Hokage lineage view them?

Therefore, even though the top leaders knew that this had little to do with the Uchiha clan, no one stood up to speak for them.

As for Danzo Shimura, he had no presence in the middle and lower levels of Konoha. When Diarmuid announced his name at the village entrance, the gatekeeper didn't even know who he was. You can imagine what kind of situation he was in.

Precisely because the middle and lower levels did not know him, even though the upper levels had great resentment towards him, no one among the people mentioned him, let alone put the blame for the Nine-Tailed Fox disaster on Danzo Shimura.

Because in their cognition, there is no such person as Danzo Shimura, so how can they put the blame on him?

On the contrary, Danzo Shimura is still using all his strength to slander Uchiha.

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

In Diarmait's room, Nohara Lin was squatting on the ground with her hands covering her face, crying non-stop, looking pitiful.

Diarmuid sat on a small bench nearby, holding some tobacco in his hand, carefully refilling the 'fuel' in his pipe.

After a while, Orochimaru walked in from outside. He glanced at Nohara Rin with a slightly surprised expression. Then he looked at Diarmuid and said, "I just came back from outside. I heard something happened in Konoha. What happened? Did you bully Rin again?"

"What do you mean I bullied Lin again? When did I ever bully her?" Diarmait said unhappily, but he still didn't raise his head as he was loading his pipe.

Orochimaru walked over, squatted down and rubbed Nohara Lin's head. His originally cold voice was now a little gentle as he asked, "What's wrong? Why are you crying here?"

This made Diarmait look up, with a little surprise and some understanding in his eyes. As expected, Orochimaru was a very complicated person. It was fine if you wanted to create a cruel and insidious character for him, but he would occasionally surprise you.

Diarmuid had felt earlier that perhaps because of Anko, Orochimaru had some preference for Nohara Rin.

Now it seems that it is indeed the case.

Nohara Rin sobbed and cried, while suppressing her sadness: "Obito. Obito. He killed Minato teacher... (bccj)"

I have to say that Nohara Rin was really mentally broken at this time. Uchiha Obito, his little friend, killed their common teacher, Namikaze Minato.

It would be strange if Nohara Lin didn't collapse.

Although Orochimaru heard that something happened in Konoha on his way back, he really didn't know what happened specifically. It was naturally impossible to publicize the fact that the Hokage had died in Konoha. He would definitely know the answer by investigating, but Orochimaru didn't have time to investigate.

Because he thought he could just come back and ask Diarmait.

But now when he heard $Withdrawal Group 975632410, he was also a little surprised. Minato Namikaze was dead?

Even he had to admit that Minato Namikaze was very powerful, and the Yellow Flash's reputation during the Third Ninja World War was not exaggerated. If he were a weaker person, Konoha would never let him become Hokage.

The result is that such a person was killed by Uchiha Obito in Konoha's home turf?

How did Uchiha Obito grow up?

Is Uchiha Madara’s inheritance really that powerful?

Thinking of this, Orochimaru looked at Diarmuid and asked, "What's going on?"

Diarmuid looked at Nohara Lin, the little girl was still crying.

Diarmuid sighed and said, "I went to Konoha with Uchiha Obito and that Black Zetsu before. Originally, this trip was just a formality, to get some things from each other. I could also take the opportunity to cooperate with them, to get closer to them, and to facilitate future work. But something unexpected happened. The original plan was that Uzumaki Kushina would give birth at that time. You should know that she is a Jinchūriki, right? So for them, that would be the best time to seize the Nine-Tails. Uchiha Obito would take the opportunity to seize the Nine-Tails, and I would take the Book of Seals away with me. Of course, I'm not so cruel as to kill a mother who had just brought new life to the world, so even if that Obito seized the Nine-Tails, I would still be able to save Kushina. In the end..."

"What happened in the end?" Orochimaru asked again.

"I don't know if Uchiha Obito is crazy or really mentally ill, but he is a bit crazy. After he captured the Nine-Tails in Konoha, he did not evacuate as planned. Instead, he went on a killing spree in Konoha. Not only did he fail to get the Nine-Tails, he also killed Minato Namikaze. Fortunately, I was there at the time and saved Kushina." Diarmuid said.

What he said was quite hypocritical. Orochimaru naturally knew that it couldn't be that simple, but with Nohara Rin here, many things were not convenient to say.

And what Diarmuid said was all true, just a little twisted.

He had originally made two plans, because he felt that his intrusion might affect Uchiha Obito's thinking. If he didn't do those fancy things later, he could indeed take the Nine-Tails away smoothly.

When the time comes, Diarmuid will go to rescue Kushina.

It's not because of any saintly reasons. On the one hand, he likes Uzumaki Naruto and doesn't want his birthday to become his mother's death anniversary. On the other hand, it's like he just said.

He may not be a good person, but he is not so cruel as to kill a mother who has just brought a new life into the world for his own selfish interests.

By then, Konoha would have only lost the Nine-Tails and the Book of Sealing, but no one would have been hurt. This would have been a pretty good ending.

Now, Uchiha Obito finally got sick.

Diarmait did not try to stop them too much, but just acted according to his own will in some places, that was all.

After listening to Diarmait's words, Orochimaru said with a shocked expression: "So, Uchiha Obito went through all this trouble in the end, not only did he not get any benefits, but he also brought disaster to Konoha? What was he trying to achieve?" Although Orochimaru was also a bastard, he always did things with a purpose and for profit. He never cared about irrelevant troubles.

Maybe it's just like what Diarmait said to Jiraiya, if you want to live long, don't meddle in other people's business.

So Orochimaru lived long enough.

Uchiha Obito's actions left Orochimaru and everyone else confused. Aren't these just five big words?

Injuring others is not good for oneself.

"Who knows? Maybe he's just mentally ill," Diarmait said.

Nohara Rin burst into tears and said painfully: "It's all my fault. It's because Obito thought I was dead that he became like this..."

"If you want to blame someone, blame Uchiha Madara. Also, Rin, I think there's really something wrong with that Uchiha Obito..." Orochimaru comforted.

"No, he wasn't like this before." Nohara Lin said crying.

Orochimaru was silent for a moment, then asked, "But now, he has completely fallen into darkness. What are you going to do?"

Yes, if Diarmuid hadn't been there, Kushina would have died too. This shows that Uchiha Obito has completely turned evil and embarked on the path of an animal.

Personally speaking, Diarmuid didn't have any opinion about Uchiha Obito. He just felt that this guy was a bit pitiful and a bit hateful at the same time, that's all.

But Nohara Lin is different.

She wiped her tears and said without hesitation: "No matter what, I will not give up on Obito. Sooner or later, I will use my own power to bring him back and let him admit his mistakes to Sister Kushina, to the teacher, and to Konoha. At that time, no matter what the consequences or punishments are, I will face them together with him."

Orochimaru looked at Nohara Rin with a little surprise, and finally nodded without saying anything else.

Diarmuid also withdrew his gaze from that side, with a smile on his face.

Uchiha Obito is a bastard, and it’s not wrong to call him a beast now.

But no matter what, his pursuit of the light he loved was not wrong. His desire to save, protect, and create a world with Lin was not wrong, at least from Diarmait's point of view.

In fact, the reason why Diarmuid told all this to Nohara Rin was that he wanted to see what the only light in Uchiha Obito's heart was like.

Now it seems that although that guy is a bastard with no humanity and bottom line, he still has good vision.

His light is his light.

He is willing to give everything for Nohara Lin, and Nohara Lin is also determined to face everything with him.

Isn’t that good?

"If I choose to leave the navy and become a pirate later, will Gion go with me?" Diarmait inexplicably thought of this question.

Then he smiled again and shook his head.

Probably not.

Given Gion's personality, she would probably carry out her belief in justice, and then hunt me down to the ends of the earth, spending her entire life trying to catch me, and then... maybe after being tried, she would give up everything and go to jail with me.

This is what Gion would do.

For some reason, I miss Gion.

"What are you thinking about?" Orochimaru asked suddenly.

He hadn't known when he was sitting in front of Diarmait, and Nohara Lin had already left. Diarmait withdrew his thoughts and shook his head, saying, "Nothing."

"Really?" Orochimaru smiled, his eyes slightly teasing, but he didn't say much.

Because he could see that at that moment, Diarmait didn't seem to be on guard at all, and a feeling of longing naturally flashed in his eyes.

It seems that this guy is not as carefree as he said.

Chapter 618: The powerful ninja techniques in the sealed book!

1 Diarmuid was still fiddling with his tobacco, while Orochimaru was brewing tea on the side.

4 Both of them were busy with their work, but they didn't stop talking, saying something to each other.

"So, you actually had the opportunity, time, and ability to save Minato Namikaze, right?" Orochimaru asked after brewing some tea and placing a cup next to Diarmait. Diarmait didn't even look up, fiddling with his tobacco as he said, "You could say that." "Then why didn't you save him?" Orochimaru asked curiously.

Diarmait did not speak, nor did he answer.

4 Orochimaru looked at Diarmait in silence for a while, and seeing that he really had no intention of saying anything, he asked tentatively: "Are you trying to use this opportunity to push Danzo to the top?" Diarmait? ? ?

8 Diarmuid looked up at Orochimaru with a puzzled expression and asked, "What's going on here?"
