From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

However, after he finished speaking, Shimura Danzo sighed a little, and his tone became a little more relaxed. "Being able to make good use of people like us is actually your talent, Hiruzen... Perhaps this is why you are sitting in this position now."

After a brief pause, Shimura Danzo continued, "So, when do you need me to do it?"

"I won't give you any instructions, Danzo. You can judge for yourself. I will also try my best to solve this problem using the method I want." Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't look into Danzo Shimura's eyes, but turned back to look at Hokage Iwado.

"Really? Then I'll arrange it myself." Danzo Shimura sneered, turned and left the Hokage's office.

After he left, Sarutobi Shinnosuke, who had remained silent the entire time, looked at his father and said, "Sandaime-sama..."

Previously, in front of Danzo Shimura, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had always had a resolute expression, now showed a look of pain in his eyes. He didn't say anything, but just waved at his son, indicating that he could leave.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he sighed, said nothing, turned around and left.

Right

Chapter 642: Danzo: We have to ask Diarmait for this matter.

Danzo Shimura quickly returned to his base.

"Move all the Uchiha information here." Shimura Danzo sat down in his office and ordered in a deep voice. A Root ninja quickly responded, "Yes, Danzo-sama."

Although he has been restricted a lot by Sarutobi Hiruzen in recent years, it is not really a waste of time.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, intentionally or unintentionally, was also allowing him to "investigate" the Uchiha clan.

Therefore, Danzo Shimura knows a lot of information about the Uchiha clan.

Soon, a large number of Root ninjas quickly placed piles of Uchiha clan's information files on Shimura Danzo's desk.

Shimura Danzo just started reading.

From morning till night, he didn't even eat and just kept watching.

"Uchiha Shisui..." Danzo Shimura looked at Uchiha Shisui's intelligence file, then looked up and asked, "Are there any more detailed information?" "Maybe the Anbu has it. Do I need to retrieve it?" The Root organization ninja thought for a while and said.

"Go and take a look." Shimura Danzo ordered.

About ten minutes later, the ninja from the organization handed over a document obtained from the Anbu to Danzo Shimura.

Shimura Danzo looked at it and thought, "It's still not right. Uchiha Shisui is a genius ninja of the Uchiha clan and participated in the Third Shinobi World War. He is as famous as Namikaze Minato's Yellow Flash. I find it hard to believe that someone like "887" didn't open the Mangekyō Sharingan."

"Maybe he doesn't want to reveal it? After all, this is very important intelligence information." said the ninja from the organization.

It can be seen that he should be Shimura Danzo's confidant.

Danzo Shimura didn't say anything, as if he was thinking about something.

After a while, the ninja from that organization said again: "Danzo-sama. Isn't this Uchiha Shisui one of ours? Why do we have to investigate him?"

"One of our own?" Shimura Danzo glanced at the ninja and said, "Ryoma, this guy's last name is Uchiha, so how could he really be one of ours? Besides, since when did Sarutobi Hiruzen and I become one of our own?"

However, after saying this, Danzo Shimura thought about it again, and nodded and said: "But if you consider that I am also from the Hokage lineage, and just talking about the Uchiha matter, I can be considered to be a member of the same family as Sarutobi Hiruzen." Aburame Ryoma is Danzo Shimura's deputy in the Root organization and the person he trusts the most.

Ryoma Aburame doesn't have any other tasks on weekdays. His main task is to follow Danzo Shimura, run errands for him, and then be responsible for protecting Danzo Shimura's safety.

He is second in the entire root organization.

There once was a guy who had the same status as him, and that guy was Orochimaru.

When Danzo Shimura was traveling, Orochimaru and Ryoma Aburame were his two personal bodyguards.

It is conceivable how high Ryoma Aburame's status is in the Root organization, especially since Orochimaru left here later. Now no one can threaten his position on Danzo's side.

There were many things that the other Root ninjas did not dare to tell Danzo. To Danzo, these ninjas were just tools to carry out missions.

Only Ryoma Aburame can discuss some serious matters and plans with Danzo Shimura as an "aide".

Just like now.

"So what do you mean, Lord Danzo?" asked Ryoma Aburame.

"A spy who cannot be fully trusted is very dangerous. Once we want to take action against the Uchiha clan, who can guarantee that Uchiha Shisui will definitely stand on our side? What if... he is a double agent, our action plan is likely to be exposed, so we must get rid of him before we take action!" Shimura Danzo said in a deep voice.

Aburame Ryoma thought for a moment and said, "Yes, Danzo-sama."

"But don't be anxious, it's not the time yet." Shimura Danzo said again.

After a brief pause, he seemed hesitant and looked at Aburame Ryoma. Aburame Ryoma was stunned for a moment, then said, "Danzo-sama?"

"I have thought a lot in the past few years and realized some things. Ryoma, do you think I have a chance to become Hokage based on our current style of doing things?" Danzo Shimura suddenly asked.

Aburame Ryoma was stunned for a moment. He looked at Danzo Shimura with some surprise. As far as he could remember, Lord Danzo had never asked such a question.

What is this scenario?

Behind this question, there is obviously a kind of "self-doubt and self-denial".

This situation often occurs when people's thoughts and ways of thinking are changing.

Although he was surprised, Aburame Ryoma said without hesitation: "I think Danzo-sama is the most suitable candidate to be the Hokage."

Danzo Shimura did not smile at all, but said with some emotion: "Konoha may not be willing to accept a Hokage who is immersed in darkness." "Lord Danzo?" Aburame Ryoma said in surprise.

Are you giving up?

"That guy Hiruzen wanted to throw this darkness to me, but now I think about it, why can't we hand this darkness over to someone else?" Shimura Danzo said with a smile.

After a brief pause, he took out a business card from his pocket.

It was the business card of the Yorozuya. Looking at the words on it, Danzo Shimura smacked his lips and said, "Maybe I can use this knife..." The Land of Rain, the Hidden Rain Village.

In Orochimaru's laboratory, the door opened and he walked out.

Just then, I saw this guy Biwa Juzo walking down the corridor with a beheading sword on his back.

"Juzo." Orochimaru called out.

Biwa Juzo turned to look at Orochimaru, then asked with a smile: "Oh, Orochimaru, are you coming out for lunch?"

"No, I received some news. Did you come from Diarmait?" Orochimaru asked.

"Yeah." Biwa Juzo nodded in response.

"Is he awake?" Orochimaru asked again.

Biwa Juzang shook his head and said, “No, when I went there, I happened to see Lord Yuli feeding Lord Diarmait, so I left.

Biwa Juzo is also a weird guy. His loyalty to Diarmait is so unbelievable that even Orochimaru finds it unbelievable.

As long as this guy has nothing to do and is not on a mission with Kakuzu, he will definitely go to pay his respects to Diarmait every day.

Even if Diarmait's soul had gone to the Pure Land and he wouldn't wake up for ten days or half a month, he would still go to pay his respects every day, sitting there and reporting a bunch of random things to Diarmait's body.

Diarmuid seemed like a vegetative state, and he was the "family member" who was working tirelessly to use talk therapy to wake the patient up.

"Really?" Orochimaru nodded, then said, "I'm going to wake him up."

"Really? Please let me watch this scene." Biwa Juzo said excitedly.

Although he knew that Diarmait's soul had gone to the Pure Land and would occasionally come back in the past two months or so.

However, he had never seen this scene before, and now he wanted to broaden his horizons.

"Okay." Orochimaru did not refuse anything and took Biwa Juuzou to find Diarmait.

Biwa Juzo was following Orochimaru, and as if he had thought of something, he asked, "Why did you suddenly wake up the master? Did something happen?"

Orochimaru didn't hide anything. After all, Biwa Juzō was a full-fledged member of the Yorozuya, on the same level as himself. He also enjoyed Diarmait's trust, so there was nothing to hide from him. …

"Well, Diarmait told us before to keep an eye on the Uchiha in Konoha and the situation over there. Just now, Danzo Shimura sent a message through summoning, wanting to hire us to help deal with the Uchiha clan. Perhaps this news is very important to Diarmait, so we need to wake him up and let him make the decision." Orochimaru explained.

"I see, Uchiha?" Biwa Juzō's eyes flashed with excitement, and he said, "If you're going to go out, why not let me do it? I've wanted to fight an Uchiha clan master for a long time. You guys are always studying the Sharingan, and I'm curious, just how powerful are they?"

"It's not certain what the situation is. Diarmait may not intervene in this matter directly. He seems to have other arrangements." Orochimaru thought for a while and said.

But soon, he smiled again and continued, "But no matter what, we must get enough Sharingan from Konoha this time, otherwise our experiment will not be able to proceed at all. I'm even considering whether to replace it with an Uchiha container."

Orochimaru and Biwa Juuzou soon arrived at the room where Diarmuid was.

Before they could open the door, the door opened from the inside, and then Bai Wuyu, who was holding a tray, looked at them in surprise.

Even though Orochimaru didn't care much about this "vase" in Bai Wu Yu Li, he still had to admit that this down-and-out noble courtesan was indeed very beautiful.

"Lord Orochimaru, Lord Biwa Juuzou." Bai Wuyu whispered softly.

Orochimaru nodded, and Biwa Juzo quickly said, "Arisato-sama, we are here to find Diarmait-sama. We need to wake him up."

Bai Wuyu had a good habit of not meddling in other people's business, so she nodded obediently and left.

As soon as he entered, he saw Diarmait sitting cross-legged on a mat with his eyes closed. The corners of his mouth were a little wet, as if they had just been wiped.

Orochimaru didn't say anything and just went up to him and made hand seals. He quickly performed the Impure World Reincarnation process and pressed his palm on Diarmait's shoulder.

As expected, just like before, the filthy earth, composed of an unknown substance, quickly appeared, attempting to envelop Diarmait, but soon found it unable to do so, and vanished again. After Orochimaru finished, he stepped back, while Biwa Juzo watched the scene curiously and asked, "Is this the end?" "How complicated did you think it would be? Just give him a signal, and he'll wake up on his own," Orochimaru said calmly.

As soon as he finished speaking, before Biwa Juzang could say anything, he suddenly felt a powerful deterrent force.

That feeling made his body tremble, as if he had seen something terrifying.

Then he saw Diarmait's body and opened his eyes.

The moment those eyes opened, it was as if a ray of light shot out and hit Orochimaru and Biwa Juzo. Biwa Juzo instinctively took a step back, as if he was avoiding something.

Orochimaru said with a little surprise: "Just a natural release of soul energy has already made me feel a certain degree of pressure. ... How many soul particles did you absorb in the Pure Land?" "Hahahahaha." Diarmait laughed, and then his aura suddenly retracted, as if everything just now was an illusion.

But if you look closely, you will find that there is a solid light flickering in his eyes, which is the halo of the soul.

"What's wrong? Why are you waking me up now? Did something happen?" Diarmuid asked.

Chapter 643 Kotoamatsukami must not be handed over to Danzo.

In the Hidden Rain Village, Biwa Juzo was leaning against the edge of the street wall, feeling somewhat bored, watching the raindrops outside the eaves falling on the ground, turning into streams, and finally entering the huge and complex underground water system of the Hidden Rain Village.

"Why haven't you come yet?" Biwa Juzang raised his hand and scratched his ear, seeming a little impatient.

But just as he finished speaking, the ground on the street in front of him changed.

Half of Black Zetsu's body emerged from there after merging with White Zetsu.

"It seems I didn't take the wrong path." Black Zetsu smiled after seeing Biwa Juzo.

Biwa Juzang glanced at him impatiently, then said, "But you seem to be late."

Black Zetsu was just about to say something like you came too early.

But before he could say anything, Biwa Juzang waved his hand and said, "Hurry up, Lord Diarmait is waiting for you, and he doesn't have much time."
