Chapter 1257 Weighing
As for the possibility of a military encounter with Myobokuyama, Daimaru felt it was very small.
The foundation of the semi-independent space where the three psychic beast holy lands are located is actually quite fragile. Although it has a small internal cycle and is self-sufficient, it is quite fragile in terms of its ability to withstand external attacks.
Maybe the power hidden in Miaomu Mountain is very strong, but once there is a fight with Nagato, Rasa and others, whether it can still be maintained is a question.
To overthrow the entire ninja world, it would take the strength of the Ten-Tails Jinchuuriki level, but to destroy Mt. Myoboku in one fell swoop, Nagato's filthy earth body alone would be enough.
Destruction, in most cases, is much easier than construction.
After instructing the two to continue to watch carefully, Daimaru looked back and found that the situation in the ninja world had changed a lot.
Uchiha Madara only recovered one of his Rinnegan eyes, and the other was the Mangekyō Sharingan that originally belonged to Hatake Kakashi.
Even if he is not the "original", Uchiha Madara can still exert most of his power, and even perform stronger than Uchiha Obito and Hatake Kakashi.
Maybe Daimaru thinks Uchiha Madara is slightly weaker than in the original timeline, but it's hard to say if that's not true.
Moreover, the feeling of Konoha's Class 7 is obviously a little weak.
The most obvious one is Hatake Kakashi. Without the help of Kamui, relying solely on the power of thunder escape and taijutsu, he cannot cause obvious damage to the Ten-Tails Jinchuuriki and Uchiha Madara.
Daimaru feels that the current Hatake Kakashi is in his most complete state, quite similar to his late father, Konoha White Teeth Sakumo Hatake.
It's a pity that Uchiha Madara's power is obviously beyond the specifications, and the huge gap in strength cannot be made up by fighting skills.
Perhaps the current Hatake Kakashi is more efficient when killing ninjas who are also human beings, but the current enemy is Uchiha Madara and the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki. No matter how brilliant the lightning escape ninjutsu and taijutsu are, the effect is The effect is also very limited.
Fortunately, Uchiha Sasuke's strength was obviously much stronger than expected, and even gave Uzumaki Naruto more room to play.
The cooperation between the two is becoming more and more tacit, and with the help of Haruno Sakura and Hatake Kakashi, the situation does not look too bad.
At this time, the enemies present were not only Uchiha Madara and Black Zetsu, but also sporadic White Zetsu clones. After the attack by the ninja coalition, the remaining ones were all powerful individuals. Even the power of joining forces, and Qian Zetsu's Te Hashirama, Namikaze Minato and Sarutobi Hiruzen fought back and forth.
"Father, won't you help?"
Koyamabuki, who was finally freed from the busy scheduling work, proudly waited for Daimaru's praise, and glanced disdainfully at the competition between the two wooden escapes.
"Over there...it doesn't matter who wins or loses. As long as Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto win, they will get the ending they want."
As long as the forbidden spells of Tsutsuki Reincarnation and Infinite Tsukuyomi are lifted, both parties will disappear.
"Then... we don't do anything?"
Daimaru pressed the head of the little guy who was a little eager to try:
"You have 'copied' all the decent ninjutsu traditions in the ninja world. Are you still not satisfied?"
At this time, all forces, including the five major ninja villages, were in an undefended state. The "artificial elves" who could still move freely naturally took whatever they wanted, and no one could stop them from doing anything they wanted.
Not only that, there are many small actions that can also play an extremely important role at this time.
"Those... useful but meaningless things, are you really sure that Father is valuable?"
"Those are precious assets, but the most valuable thing is people..."
Daimaru was referring to Kabuto Yakushi, who was defeated by Itachi Uchiha and fought back.
At this time, the young man who had regained consciousness was standing opposite Daimaru. He swept away the gloom and showed a rare free and easy smile.
In order to keep his sense of autonomy from the influence of Infinite Tsukuyomi, Daimaru also took a lot of risks.
However, Kabuto Yakushi, who was affected by the forbidden technique Izanami, was no longer the same person as before.
"It's really a spectacular sight. I never imagined that the ninja world could be like this..."
The white-haired young man smiled heartily and said,
"What are you going to do with me?"
"You... are very useful, but there seems to be no friendship between us. We only have a history of sneak attacks and betrayals..."
Daimaru thought for a while and then responded,
"I want to recruit you, but I don't trust you!"
"This is going to be difficult! But, first of all, let me take the liberty to ask. You didn't even ask me for permission. Shouldn't you ask me first if I will join you Sand Ninja?"
"Huh? You don't want to?"
Daimaru narrowed his eyes, and the terrifying aura instantly spread out of his body, making Kabuto Yakushi, who was smiling lightly, stiffen.
"Okay! It's me who's troublesome..."
At this point, if you still have to resist with your so-called faith and persistence, there is no room for Yakushi Kabuto in Daiwan.
To put it bluntly, for the crimes Kabuto Yakushi committed, it would be easier for him to be executed on the spot.
Daimaru's willingness to come forward to protect him can be regarded as the most benevolent thing.
As for returning to Konoha Village, inheriting the career of pharmacist Nonou, and becoming the director of some kind of welfare home, I'm afraid it's not a dream.
There is no shortage of caring ninjas in the ninja world, and scholars with rich research experience are quite rare.
"With all due respect, with your strength, you no longer need me to help you. In fact, you have already understood the immortal arts and forbidden arts that I have learned. I really can't think of anything else on me. The value is worthy of your covet..."
"Your mind!"
Daimaru pointed to the other person's forehead and said with great certainty,
"For a person like you, being a ninja who fights and kills is really too much. We in Sunagakure Village don't care about an unreliable thug. However, someone with profound knowledge and rich practical experience Research-oriented experimental talents are worth spending more energy to win over..."
"You... also want to study forbidden arts?"
Kabuto Yakushi asked incredulously,
"With your status, do you still need such unattractive technology?"
Daimaru answered very calmly:
"All technologies are difficult to classify as good or evil. They are labeled differently just because they are harmful to us. Whether it is beneficial or harmful depends on who masters it and who uses it..."
Kabuto Yakushi smiled slightly mockingly:
"Every researcher who goes astray initially thinks like this..."
"No, no, no, you misunderstood me!"
Daimaru waved his hand and continued to explain,
"You think I am using you to do some harmful research? You are wrong! There is actually no right or wrong in exploring unknown mysteries. It is just that during the execution process, it will involve whether it violates human ethics. The problem. Human experiments are sometimes unavoidable, and suitable 'volunteers' are not often available, but your and Orochimaru's operations are really too rough..."
Using captives for experiments, even kidnapping compatriots, and putting them on the test bench is self-destruction no matter how you think about it.
"volunteer?"
Hearing this, Kabuto Yakushi couldn't help but mutter to himself, and then suddenly said to Daimaru,
"You are a worse person than Orochimaru and I. If human life and dignity can be measured by a scale, then this world would be too terrible..."
Just like money, there are always people who are desperate. If someone tempted a helpless father with money and said that if he agreed to be a guinea pig, he would be given a large sum of compensation to support his parents, raise children, settle his wife, and give him a future, etc., would he agree?
Or to put it another way, you have already suffered from cancer and your life is not long. If you can exchange the rest of your life for a large sum of money to make your family live a better life, would you exchange it or not?
If you don't change, there are people who are willing to change, and even if they want to, they can't find a way.
In Daimaru's previous life, some were idiots who even sold their body parts just to buy luxury goods. The above situation is really childish.
The so-called life-saving, sometimes does not just mean surrender and loyalty, but really life-saving.
The evil in people's hearts does not lie in burning, killing and looting, but in the indifference that tramples a person's life and dignity into a pile of mud.
Some things have always been under the water, operating according to some unspoken rules, but once they are brought to the table, or even implemented openly, there is no lower limit for human morality.
"You, a scoundrel who has done so many bad things, actually talk to me about ethics and morality and being kind to others..."
Daimaru couldn't help but sneered,
"I call you stupid, but you are still not convinced. To be a bad person, it is best to be completely bad. A principled bad guy will not end well in the end. By the way, you now do not necessarily represent the previous views. After all, you are A soul that has been forcibly 'corrected' by the forbidden art Izanagi..."
"Maybe the me now is different from the me before, but..."
Kabuto Yakushi responded calmly,
"I feel great now!"
"what ever!"
Daimaru waved his hand nonchalantly,
"Just don't use that shallow knowledge to measure my actions. I don't really want you to be a mad scientist or a plague messenger. Anyway... forget it, you won't understand even if I say too much!"
In the ninja world, where basic research is still very primitive, there are some things that, except for Orochimaru's "rough" approach that makes people look at it, there is actually nothing that can be done.
Of course, these are not a problem for Daiwan!
There are so many ready-made "examples" that there is no need to lower your own moral values to the same level as Orochimaru.
"In addition, although you are important, you are not irreplaceable..."
Daimaru said, pulling over the "big cocoon" hanging from the trunk of a sacred tree not far away, breaking the restraints on the head, revealing the unconscious Mitarashi Anko's cheek.
Immediately afterwards, Daimaru casually clawed off a ball of flesh and blood from Yakushi Kabuto's body, pressed it on the Heavenly Curse Seal on his neck, and poured it into it with the borrowed Snake Senjutsu chakra.
Under Yakushi Kabuto's surprised gaze, a big white phosphorus snake emerged from it, its mouth split open, and a pale-skinned Orochimaru crawled out.
When everything was done, Daimaru let go of Mitarai Anko, whose Heavenly Curse Seal had disappeared from her neck, and allowed her to be captured by the sacred tree again.
"Isn't that surprising?"
Daimaru said to Kabuto Yakushi, whose expression changed drastically,
"Although you have some true inheritance from Orochimaru, you still lack some imagination when it comes to the true power of forbidden arts..."
Orochimaru, who frowned slightly, was resurrected again, but it was not what he imagined, which was really a bit disappointing.
"I didn't expect you to let me out! I'm surprised. What do you want?"
"Talent is in short supply everywhere..."
Daimaru sighed as he spoke,
"Especially if you and Kabuto Yakushi miss it, the next one will appear in who knows how many years..."
In the history of the sand ninja, the only ones who can be compared with each other are the second generation Kazekage, Shamon, and the Scorpion of Red Sand, who can barely compete on the same stage, or even fall short.
The other compatriots are not simply underestimating themselves, they are all far behind in terms of knowledge and ability.
Unfortunately, their roots are in the Leaf Village, and the possibility of being conquered by Daimaru is extremely slim.
Unlike Deidara, who is worthless except for being a big hand, the most valuable thing about Orochimaru and Yakushi Kabuto is their brains. Once they cannot sincerely surrender, Daimaru will inevitably use various means to control them. But in this way, the value they can use It's a big discount.
Orochimaru was different from Kabuto Yakushi. He had already noticed it. Daimaru kept saying that he wanted the two to help. The subtext behind it was actually asking them to show their worth in exchange for the right to continue living.
If they can't reach an agreement, the lives of Kabuto Yakushi and Orochimaru will end here.
Kabuto Yakushi had just fought a hard battle and had not yet completely escaped from the unfavorable situation controlled by the illusion. He could not count on Ryūchi Cave hiding behind the scenes. Now that Daimaru had shown his cards, he was definitely not afraid of outside interference. If those big snakes dared to stop him, they would immediately explode. A brutal battle.
The newly resurrected Orochimaru has no fighting power at all. It is already very difficult to maintain a complete form. He must occupy a complete container before he can make a difference.
In this situation, without external force, Orochimaru would not even survive until the end of the Fourth Ninja War.
"I can't die!"
After only thinking for a moment, Orochimaru said very simply,
"There are so many magical mysteries in the ninja world waiting for me to uncover, how can it end here? How can you let us go..."
"I am giving you choices, not answers. If you can't think of the conditions for survival, it will be difficult..."
The anxious Orochimaru looked at Kabuto Kabuto, the pharmacist who didn't seem to be very active, and said very simply:
"I am willing to serve you, but it is impossible to be a slave forever. There must be a time limit, or if the conditions are met, we will be freed..."
"Tell me more specifically?"
Daimaru asked with interest.
"For example, ten years of service... no, twenty years, and setting up an experimental base for Sand Ninja with no less than ten scholars with a research level no lower than Yakushi Kabuto. If any of the two conditions are met, we must be released. free……"
