From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

Then, he made a major discovery. When Shimura Danzo heard him mention the matter of becoming Hokage, a look of disgust flashed between his brows and eyes for a moment.

What's happening here?

When I mentioned this before, weren't you very excited and happy?

Now you're disgusted?

What happened to Konoha? Have you, Danzo, changed your ways?

Danzo was of course disgusted, because when Orochimaru mentioned this matter, he remembered his own "brain-numbing" behavior.

However, he couldn't possibly explain this matter to Orochimaru because it was too embarrassing.

The reason why Orochimaru didn't notice the changes in Konoha's situation was because Danzo Shimura messed up everything at the beginning, leaving no chance for follow-up. So what was there to do?

Anyway, the two of them had a misunderstanding.

Just when Orochimaru was feeling a little confused, Shimura Danzo said, "Of course I remember the agreement, but what does this have to do with the reward?" ... Requesting flowers.

"It seems that you are planning to default on your debt, Danzo." Orochimaru said with a smile.

Danzo Shimura? ? ?

What the hell are you talking about?

What do you mean I'm going to default on my debt? I don't understand what you're saying!

But before Shimura Danzo could open his mouth to question him, Orochimaru continued, "During the Nine-Tails Rebellion in Konoha, don't tell me you didn't know whether Diarmuid was in Konoha or not. And as for the loss of the Book of Sealing, I don't think with your intelligence that the masked man's companions were responsible, right?"

Shimura Danzo fell silent after hearing this.

That's right, although the mainstream of Konoha's top leaders now believe that the person who stole the Book of Sealing that day was a companion of the guy who released the Nine-Tails, and Diarmait's appearance was to track down Uchiha Madara who interested him.

To be honest, there is no particular evidence to support this.

But considering Diarmait's unruly style and somewhat neurotic feeling, he would choose to investigate after discovering someone claiming to be Uchiha Madara... Anyway, in the eyes of Sarutobi Hiruzen and others, it was so natural and reasonable.

However, Danzo Shimura would not believe this. He had known for a long time that Diarmait coveted Konoha's Book of Seals. Diarmait was in Konoha at that time, and the Book of Seals was lost.

Maybe the Nine-Tailed Fox or something like that had nothing to do with him, but in this matter, even if Danzo were to kill him, he would never believe that Diarmait hadn't caused any trouble.

He was basically certain that the Book of Seals was taken away by Diarmait.

Now that Orochimaru has said this, it can be regarded as a complete confirmation of his idea.

As expected, this was done by Diarmuid.

However, Danzo Shimura had no intention of reporting these secrets to Konoha.

As I said, compared to the Book of Seales and other matters that are of interest to Konoha, he still plans to maintain his relationship with Diarmait for the time being.

His own selfish interests took precedence over the public good of Konoha.

"It's him after all, but what exactly do you want to say?" asked Danzo Shimura after a moment of silence.

"It seems that you have been a little dull recently, Danzo. Diarmait created such a good opportunity for you. I originally thought that as long as you were not stupid, you would seize the opportunity and mobilize your own power. Namikaze Minato died as the Fourth Hokage, and you did not take any action at this best opportunity? It's really disappointing. Or have you given up your obsession with becoming Hokage?" Orochimaru said in a deep voice.

After hearing this, Danzo Shimura felt so frustrated that he almost vomited blood.

Of course I took action!

It's just... ...I just made myself cry because of my stupidity.

He really wanted to explain something to Orochimaru, but it was too embarrassing, so Shimura Danzo opened his mouth, and after a long while, he just managed to say: "There are some things you don't know, so it's not what you think."

Orochimaru frowned slightly when he heard this. Although he had doubts just now, when he thought about it carefully, how could Danzo really give up being Hokage?

It seems that there was something happening behind this that Danzo was unaware of, so that he did not take action but instead suppressed his ambition?

What is going on?

After just a moment of thought, Orochimaru was stunned again. Why should I care about so many things? What does what happened have to do with me?

Therefore, Orochimaru stopped thinking about it and looked at Danzo Shimura and said, "Perhaps, but there is no doubt that Diarmait has created the opportunity for you to become Hokage. At the beginning, he had the time and enough ability to save Minato Namikaze, but he didn't do it. Instead, he allowed Minato to die in the line of duty. This was because he was thinking about you. Therefore, according to the agreement, you must pay Diarmait the relevant remuneration."

Danzo Shimura? ? ?

Damn it!

Is there anyone who does business like you?

Chapter 624: Danzo Shimura: I want to ask you, Yorozuya, to kill Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Danzo Shimura was very angry.

This is simply unreasonable.

How can you say that?

If you had told me in advance, I would even accept it.

But the problem is, you didn't even say hello, and then you caused a lot of trouble on your own, and in the end you said that it was for me, Danzo Shimura, to become Hokage, so this was a matter of compliance with the agreement, and then you asked me to pay you?

Isn't there something wrong with this?

How can this be true?

After a moment of irritation, Shimura Danzo said in a deep voice, "Your so-called fulfillment of the agreement is too frivolous. Diarmait didn't discuss it with me beforehand, which led to many unexpected events. In the end, I wasn't able to take action, so how can you say I fulfilled the agreement? I can't give you that kind of reward."

"In our opinion, you, Shimura Danzo, are a relatively outstanding partner. We also believe in your abilities and think that you will make the best response after this, so this is not our fault. The agreement is the agreement." Orochimaru said in a deep voice.

"But this is simply ridiculous!" said Danzo Shimura bluntly.

Orochimaru was silent for a moment, then he curled his lips into a sinister smile and said, "Danzo-sama, I must remind you that up to now, no one has ever owed us at Yorozuya any compensation." Shimura Danzo frowned, his face filled with annoyance as he said, "What? Orochimaru, are you threatening me?"

"Eight-Seven-Zero" Orochimaru shook his head and said, "No, I'm just stating a fact. Diarmuid had anticipated that you might refuse, so he asked me to bring you a message." Shimura Danzo's expression shifted, but he finally asked, "What was it?"

"He said that if you don't give him the reward, he will come and ask you for it in person." Orochimaru said with an evil smile.

It was just a simple sentence, but Shimura Danzo recalled Diarmait's tiger-like smile, and his heart went cold.

He quickly reviewed the power in his hands in his mind.

Is there anyone who can resist Diarmait?

In just a moment, he came to the answer: no.

It was also at this time that he recalled his first meeting with Diarmait.

Obviously, both sides were very happy at that time.

How did it become like this?

Even at that time, Diarmait kept calling him "Danzo-sama", which made him feel a little proud and thought that he was the strong party who held the initiative.

In the blink of an eye, Diarmait even dared to speak such harsh words to him.

Unfortunately, he had no way to deal with the other party.

Looking at Orochimaru's cold and evil smile, Shimura Danzo finally swallowed his anger and asked in a deep voice, "What reward does he want?"

"Hehehe..." Orochimaru laughed, then said, "That's right. Both parties involved in a collaboration should fulfill their agreement promptly. Only in this way can the collaboration continue and avoid becoming enemies, which would make everyone look bad." He still made a subtle threat to Shimura Danzo, but Shimura Danzo didn't say anything, just staring at Orochimaru in silence. Orochimaru laughed again, then said, "Regarding this payment, what we at Yorozuya need is..."

Orochimaru quickly submitted a list, most of which were relatively expensive and important resources and materials that only big countries could control, to be invested in the scientific research activities that he and Sasori might carry out in the future.

Then there are some financial needs of Kakuzu.

Biwa Juzang didn't make any requests.

All in all, the reward was very expensive, but Orochimaru timed the situation very precisely, just enough to make Danzo Shimura feel painful, but not to the point where it was unacceptable.

Looking at Danzo's expression that was changeable, he looked like he was constipated.

Orochimaru laughed secretly in his heart.

Finally, after some thought and mental struggle, Shimura Danzo said, "Okay."

Orochimaru nodded, then stood up and said, "Okay, according to the old rules, these things must be sent to the Hidden Rain Village." After that, he glanced at Kabuto Yakushi behind him and said, "Let's go." Kabuto Yakushi nodded, still looking very calm on the surface.

But I was very shocked in my heart.

What kind of organization did I join?

He knew something about the Yorozuya, after all, he was an intelligence worker, but at this stage, Kabuto Yakushi's abilities were not that great, and he was not a high-ranking official.

Therefore, he only has a partial understanding of many things.

His impression of the Yorozuya is superficial and general. For example, he thinks the Yorozuya is powerful because of the participation of people like Orochimaru.

On the contrary, Yakushi Kabuto is more familiar with root tissue.

He probably knew what kind of ruthless person Danzo was and what kind of powerful power the Root organization possessed.

Therefore, Diarmuid, who had never shown up, just asked Lord Orochimaru to convey a message to Danzo, which scared Danzo so much that he had to accept this "agreed reward", which shocked Kabuto Yakushi.

Perhaps, the power of the Yorozuya is far beyond one's imagination?

Or maybe it was that Diarmait, the boss of the Yorozuya House, whom he had never met but who was already a bit of a legendary figure, was so powerful that he couldn't even imagine it?

But no matter what, at this time, Kabuto Yakushi was more looking forward to joining the Yorozuya.

Perhaps, as Lord Orochimaru said, this will become a new journey in his life?

It is worth looking forward to.

But just as Orochimaru and Kabuto Yakushi were about to leave this temporary hideout of the group.

Danzo Shimura suddenly spoke again.

"Wait a moment." said Shimura Danzo.

Orochimaru's hand had just been on the door handle, but after hearing what Shimura Danzo said, he stopped moving, turned sideways and looked at Danzo who was sitting behind him and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I now have a clearer understanding of Diarmait's strength. There is something I may need your help with. Just like the agreement, Diarmait intends to support me in becoming Hokage, doesn't he?" said Danzo Shimura.

Orochimaru withdrew his hand from the door handle, turned around completely, looked at Shimura Danzo and asked, "What is it?"

As for Shimura Danzo's words of "recognizing Diarmait's strength", Orochimaru felt like laughing after hearing it.

How did you realize his strength?

I've been following him and studying him for so long, but I still can't be sure just how powerful he is...

Sometimes, Orochimaru even thought that perhaps Diarmuid himself could not judge how strong he was at this moment?

Because now, in the entire ninja world, he lacks a reference object to make judgments.
