Chapter 10 Let Him Taste the Taste of Betrayal

A few days later, in the Akatsuki base.

After finishing the work at hand, Akatsuki leader Yahiko looked at the two letters on the table. Judging from the handwriting, one of them was written by Konan and the other was written by Bai Ye.

In Konan's letter, she described in detail what she and Bai Ye had experienced in the past few days.

It was emphasized that they had encountered Konoha ninjas who were clearing out the Iwagakure stronghold, and that the Iwagakure ninjas disguised themselves as Kusagakure ninjas and tried to kill and provoke war on the border.

At the end of the letter, Konan told him not to worry about the shortage of supplies.

Although the supplies needed by Akatsuki have been rising in price due to the war, she has mastered the way to make money, and the organization should not be embarrassed about money in the future.

In Bai Ye's letter, the words were much sharper.

Not only did he satirize the current philosophy of Akatsuki in various ways, but he also indirectly accused him of being unsuitable to continue to serve as the leader of Akatsuki. He also mentioned Nagato and asked him to send Nagato to support him, saying that there was something important that needed help.

After reading the letter, Yahiko frowned and looked at the cloudy sky outside the window.

Bai Ye might exaggerate the description of the Rock Ninja's behavior, but Xiao Nan would not. This shows that other ninja villages really want to drag the Rain Country into the cruel Ninja World War.

With Hanzo in charge, the Rain Country will naturally not lose.

But what these ninjas did on the border actually threatened the civilians of the Rain Country. With the current capabilities of the Akatsuki organization, there is no way to stop it.

Those foreign ninjas are definitely not as easy to convince as the ninjas in the Rain Country.

As the Akatsuki organization develops, the areas covered by its power will increase, and it will inevitably fight with these foreign ninjas. At that time, it may really be as Bai Ye said, an irreversible conflict will break out.

At that time, the Akatsuki organization will be forced to fight back.

But in that case, the concept of mutual understanding of the Akatsuki organization will exist in name only, and the hatred accompanied by revenge will continue, becoming the seeds of the next round of disputes.

However, no matter what, he will stick to his own ideas and will not waver.

The cold rain splashed on Yahiko's skin. After recovering from his trance, Yahiko picked up Bai Ye's letter again. After seeing Bai Ye's request for support, he waved to the distance.

It was a few minutes later that Nagato came over.

This young man with red hair and a face full of immaturity was the most important member of the trio.

At least that's what Yahiko thought.

After entering the office, Nagato lowered his head and asked, "Yahiko, do you have something to do with me?"

Yahiko nodded, and then said, "Is there something wrong with Konan and Bai Ye? Do you need to go over to support them?"

Nagato raised his head, revealing a circle of lavender eyes, and said in a panic, "Yahiko, is there something wrong with Konan and Bai Ye?"

Yahiko shook his head and explained, "They are safe and have delivered scarce supplies to the organization. Logically, they can come back now, but Bai Ye specifically asked you to go over to support them."

Nagato nodded, not quite understanding, "I know, I'll rush over. Where are they now?"

Yahiko pulled out He took out a map from the drawer, marked the location for Nagato, and said, "It's in Kusagakure Village, but you have to be careful when you go there alone, because many people are eyeing your eyes!"

Nagato rarely smiled: "Yahiko, I'm actually quite strong. No other ninja in the organization is my opponent. Don't worry about me."

"That's right. After all, you are the 'son of prophecy' mentioned by Jiraiya. With the Samsara Eye, you will definitely be able to save the world in the future."

"But Nagato, are you really not considering becoming the leader of Akatsuki? You are more suitable for this position than me!"

After chatting for a while, Yahiko finally showed his true colors and expressed his idea of ​​giving up his position.

After creating Akatsuki, Yahiko had asked Nagato to be the leader of Akatsuki many times.

But Nagato refused all of them, but Yahiko still did not give up the idea of ​​abdicating the position of leader, because Nagato had the legendary Samsara Eye, which belonged to the eyes of the Six Paths Sage.

It was the existence of these eyes that made Yahiko firmly believe that the ideals of Akatsuki would be realized.

Nagato looked at Yahiko and said solemnly: "I am not suitable to be the leader of Akatsuki. In my mind, the leader of Akatsuki will always be you, Yahiko!"

But I have long been unable to do it, and I don't have the strength to be the leader.

Yahiko sighed softly in his heart and said casually:

"Nagato, it's okay if you don't want to be the leader of Akatsuki. Bai Ye has been eyeing this position. Maybe the leader position I reserved for you will become his one day."

"Go to Kusagakure Village to support Bai Ye and Konan. If you don't accept my kindness, you will regret it sooner or later."

Hearing this, Nagato felt a lot more relaxed. He was most afraid that Yahiko would let him be the leader of Akatsuki. As for whether the position of leader would fall into the hands of others, it depends on Yahiko's own wishes.

He just wants to follow Yahiko and realize the dream of world peace together.

It doesn't even matter whether this dream is realized or not. As long as this kind of life continues, it is enough.

After his parents and teacher Jiraiya left, he no longer has any other family.

...

Nagato left the Akatsuki base and stepped out of the border of the Rain Country.

Bai Zetsu, who was secretly monitoring Nagato, emerged from the ground. After glancing at Nagato, who turned into a small black dot in the distance, he quickly got into the ground and rushed towards the territory of Grass Country.

Not long after, Bai Jue arrived at a cave underground in the Country of Grass.

There is a huge demon statue in the underground cave. On the chair in front of the demon statue, there is an old man with white hair lying with his eyes closed.

Bai Zetsu came to the white-haired old man and said hesitantly: "Madara-sama, Nagato left the Country of Rain and now comes to the Country of Grass where you are."

After hearing this, Uchiha Madara opened his eyes: "Why did Nagato leave the Country of Rain?"

"It seems that he was on a mission. During the time you were asleep, Nagato seemed to have joined an organization called Akatsuki. They were recruiting members in the Land of Rain, advocating mutual understanding between people, and seemed to want to pass This is the way to achieve peace in the ninja world."

“Can peace be achieved if people understand each other?”

Uchiha Madara seemed to have thought of something, his expression became a little dazed, and then he sneered: "There was a fool who had a similar idea, but in the end he betrayed his companions..."

"Let Nagato enjoy the game of playing house. After tasting the betrayal, he will join our side."

"Compared with the power of the Samsara Eye, any belief is fragile!"
