Chapter 100 The Possibility of Forming the Xiaotian Group
Hanzo couldn't understand Bai Ye, and didn't know where Bai Ye's sense of crisis came from.
In the era when he ruled the Hidden Rain Village, it was already a luxury to have a qualified elite jonin successor.
The current Akatsuki organization not only has several Kage-level combat forces, but Bai Ye, as the leader of the organization, seems to want to recruit more subordinates, and they are also vicious people like the Red Sand Scorpion.
But it's better for an old man like him who has been abandoned by the times not to talk too much.
Although he has been hiding his identity and staying in the Akatsuki base these days, he still understands the current situation of the Hidden Rain Village through contact with Akatsuki members.
During his imprisonment, the Hidden Rain Village not only did not fall into chaos, but also developed very well.
The jonin and nobles who were usually shy in front of him all obeyed the orders of the leader of the Hidden Rain Village, and the entire Hidden Rain Village exuded a thriving and flourishing atmosphere.
This is something he could never do in the past.
After hearing this news, he didn't wait to admit that he was old, and he also faded the idea of resistance.
Bai Ye glanced at Hanzo. He knew Hanzo's little thoughts very well, and at the same time, he secretly despised the pattern of this little demigod in his heart.
In the Akatsuki organization of later generations, there were ten ninjas who had the strength to capture Jinchūriki.
With such fighting power gathered together, even a large ninja village like Konoha could be conquered by force, but due to various reasons, the fighting power of the Akatsuki organization could not be gathered together.
Think about it, it is strange that a group of vicious and evil rebels gathered together to have cohesion.
However, in Bai Ye's view, the greatest role of the Akatsuki organizations in later generations is not to capture the tailed beasts, but the intelligence and knowledge in their brains, and we must find a way to make them work for the organization.
Recalling the memories of his previous life, Bai Ye thought about who was suitable for recruitment.
It is still during the Ninja World War. There are not many rebel ninjas who dare to wander in the Ninja World, and Bai Ye can think of even fewer names.
Bai Ye thought about it and there were only three people available for recruitment.
One of them was the Scorpion of the Red Sand who assassinated the Third Kazekage, one of the strongest puppeteers at present.
The second is Kakuzu, a bounty hunter who began to believe in money after failing to assassinate the first Hokage.
The last one is Konoha's rebel ninja, Okuruko. He is a classmate of the three ninjas, but was not favored by the third Hokage. Later, he was forced to defect because of his research on human forbidden techniques.
Among these three people, the whereabouts of Scorpion of the Red Sand and Okuruko are not easy to find.
Scorpion of the Red Sand and Okuruko are both research ninjas. In addition to going out to find materials, they hide in the corners of the ninja world to do scientific research.
Only Kakuzu's whereabouts are very easy to confirm.
Kakuzu is a famous bounty hunter in the ninja world. You only need to wait patiently in the black markets of various countries to find Kakuzu's whereabouts.
It took several days for Bai Ye to obtain information about Kakuzu from his men.
Kakuzu is active in the Land of Fire. It seems that he wants to take advantage of the war between the Hidden Mist Village and Konoha to harvest more heads to get the bounty.
After all, the Hidden Mist Village has now lost the Three-Tails and the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, and no longer has the strength to continue fighting.
After learning the news, Bai Ye decided to go to the Land of Fire immediately to find Kakuzu's whereabouts.
He also investigated the situation in the Land of Fire and saw if he could make a big move in the Land of Fire, such as provoking conflicts between the Daimyo and Konoha.
Before leaving, Bai Ye went to the Hidden Rain Building and told Yahiko that he was out for something.
After returning to the base, he talked to Karin again.
After Akatsuki took over the Hidden Rain Village, Karin was arranged by him to manage the logistics of the Akatsuki. It was not good for such a person to stay at home and be a homegirl.
After completing these, Bai Ye went to the Akatsuki Anbu and left the Hidden Rain Village with Hanzo.
Hanzo was shrewd and powerful. It would be bad if he attacked Yahiko and the others while he was away, and it would also easily expose the fact that Hanzo was still alive.
On the way to the Land of Fire.
Hanzo, who was forced to wear a fire cloud robe and an animal mask, said with displeasure: "Bai Ye, I am already old, and I really don't want to leave the Hidden Rain Village at this time."
"And if my identity is exposed, wouldn't it cause trouble for the Akatsuki organization?"
Bai Ye glanced at Hanzo and said without disguising:
"Don't think too much, Hanzo, I brought you out because I was afraid that after I left, you would contact your former subordinates to restore the Hidden Rain Village."
Facing Bai Ye who spoke the truth, Hanzo said with a strange face: "You govern the Hidden Rain Village so well, why should I restore it? Wait until you come back and fight again?"
Bai Ye shook his head gently, and then said:
"I believe in Hanzo, you are my teacher after all, but I don't believe in your subordinates and those Rain Country termites. They will find ways to get you back to fight against the reforms implemented by Yahiko."
Hanzo fell silent. He knew that what Bai Ye said was true.
Because of the influence of the upper class, the Hidden Rain Village and the Land of Rain have become much more corrupt than they were a dozen years ago. Although the reform of the Akatsuki organization is beneficial to the Land of Rain, it has violated the interests of a small number of people.
These people will definitely not be reconciled and will definitely take the opportunity to cause trouble.
Seeing Hanzo fall into silence, Bai Ye said seriously: "Teacher Hanzo, I am actually very glad that Danzo provoked the relationship between us, otherwise if you really accepted the Akatsuki organization, it would be difficult for us to kill people."
"I always hate the repeated quarrels in meetings. It is more convenient to deal with the termites."
It was the first time that Hanzo saw Bai Ye so serious. The decisive look reminded him of his past self. Now, he seemed to be a little afraid of this look. His will was no longer firm.
But when his will was not firm, he would hesitate to attack, and the knife in his hand could no longer kill the strong enemy.
If it was him fifteen years ago, he would rather die in the war than surrender. Even if Bai Ye threatened him, he would kill the Salamander first and then continue to fight.
Seeing Hanzo always reminds him of the past, Bai Ye said half-jokingly and half-seriously:
"Actually, I can also let Hanzo go now, and you can go to the remnants of the Rain Country Organization now, just in time to catch all the enemies at once."
Hanzo didn't know if Bai Ye's words were a joke, but he still explained:
"I really have no intention of leaving the Akatsuki Organization, don't test me again, and besides, the Salamander is in your hands now, and I can only exert 70% of my strength at most."
"Just let me retire in peace."
"Did Hanzo find out? My acting skills are still too poor."
Bai Ye scratched his head, and his expression returned to a harmless look. He stood up from the stone on the side of the road and continued on his way with Hanzo.
