Chapter 112 Kakuzu's Surprise
Yahiko was no longer surprised by Bai Ye's frivolous remarks.
Bai Ye lacked sufficient respect for the demigods of the Hidden Rain Village and even the Kages of the five major ninja villages, but with Bai Ye's strength, he was qualified.
After a moment of silence, Yahiko continued:
"Minato is Jiraiya's disciple, strictly speaking, he is our senior brother. This time he became the fourth generation Hokage. I plan to send an envoy to congratulate him and test the waters to see if we can have in-depth cooperation."
After that, Yahiko looked at Bai Ye, waiting for Bai Ye's experience.
Bai Ye nodded and said disapprovingly: "This is a small matter, Yahiko, you can handle it yourself. It is a good thing for the village to cooperate with Konoha. At least I don't object."
"Bai Ye, you really don't object?" Yahiko narrowed his eyes slightly, somewhat disbelieving Bai Ye.
Other people in the village may not know, but they know Bai Ye's identity. Bai Ye has the blood of the Uzumaki clan in his body and is one of the last few ninjas of the Uzumaki clan.
And unlike Nagato who grew up in the Land of Rain, Bai Ye still misses the Land of Whirlpools.
When the Land of Whirlpools was destroyed, Konoha chose to stand aside and watch. In this case, it is almost impossible for Bai Ye not to miss Konoha.
Bai Ye sighed softly and said helplessly: "The market of the Land of Rain is so small, and it is naturally more beneficial to compete with a big country like the Land of Fire. The ideas of the Akatsuki organization also need to be communicated with the outside world before they can be promoted."
"Senior Yahiko, since you became the leader of the Hidden Rain Village, have you forgotten our ideals?"
Faced with Bai Ye's soul questioning, Yahiko naturally had nothing to say, but shouldn't this sentence be his line? Why did Bai Ye say it, and it felt weird.
The faces of Konan and Nagato next to him also began to look strange.
Could it be that these words of dreams and Akatsuki's will are the inherent secrets of the leaders of the Akatsuki organization, and after becoming the leader, they will automatically acquire the relevant abilities.
However, this also shows that Bai Ye does not object to cooperating with Konoha.
At this time, Bai Ye seemed to see what they were thinking, and then said:
"Of course, the important reason why I don't object is that if we strengthen cooperation with Konoha, we can naturally promote our ideas to neighboring countries without worrying about being interfered with by Konoha by force."
"I have been unhappy with the Grass Country next door for a long time. It is a group of villains who keep changing their ways... We must find a way to let them bathe in the sunshine of Akatsuki's will."
The familiar tone and words immediately brought Yahiko and the other two back to reality.
Bai Ye is still the same Bai Ye, with a strong sense of crisis in his heart. He believes in the idea that the first to strike is the strongest, and the last to strike will suffer. Everything else is just an excuse.
However, after experiencing so much, they also understand.
A village and an organization must have such a ninja.
The five major ninja villages seem bright and beautiful, but there is no shortage of darkness in secret. They can not only attack their own people, but also deal with the surrounding small countries without mercy.
Even Yahiko, who believes in Akatsuki's will, began to think that not everyone can understand each other.
Those who can understand each other are naturally their own people, but for people like Danzo, no matter how you put yourself in their shoes, the other party will only use this kindness to create a conspiracy.
"Bai Ye, pause for a moment..."
Yahiko interrupted Bai Ye, and then continued:
"I know you have resentment towards the Grass Country, but the time is not yet ripe. We have not yet digested the territory of the Rain Country. When we have enough ability, we will mention this matter again."
Yahiko actually did not want to take action against the Grass Country, but he could only delay it like this.
Otherwise, he even suspected that Bai Ye would act on his own again and directly carry out a decapitation operation against the Grass Country, and then the Rain Country would inexplicably accept the Grass Country.
But they had no excuse for war at all, and they were powerless to resist the subsequent storm of public opinion.
After all, the war between the Akatsuki Organization and Hanzo was a civil war, and the Grass Country was an independent country. It was difficult for the Grass Country ninjas to understand the Rain Country ninjas. This was the reality.
In the next meeting, the top leaders of the Rain Country started another discussion.
The core issue was still the reform of the ninja school and the diplomacy with the five major ninja villages.
This time, Bai Ye acted as an audience, just listening without saying anything, quietly watching the performance of the trio. After being the top brass for several months, these people finally acted like top brass, and lost a lot of their naivety.
After leaving the Hidden Rain Building, Bai Ye received a message from Black Zetsu.
After sending Afu to drill underground, Bai Ye led Kakuzu to the Akatsuki base, and soon met Black Zetsu and Obito in the woods near the base.
Black Zetsu's image was the same as before, still a pitcher plant hermaphrodite with clear black and white.
Obito's eyes were a little sharper, and the tiger-patterned mask on his face gave people a sense of unfathomable depth. It seems that compared with the last meeting, his strength and confidence have increased a lot.
He had an attitude of "I have been walking on thin ice all my life, can I really realize the Moon Eye Plan?"
Kakuzu also noticed these two people, and his intuition told him that they were very strong and at the same level as himself. The Akatsuki of Bai Ye's boss was even more unfathomable than he imagined.
Obito glanced at the corner of his eyes, then asked Bai Ye: "Who is he? Is he a new member of the organization? Is he reliable? Will he leak our plan?"
He asked three questions right away, Bai Ye couldn't do it.
Uchiha Kenji, you have to correct your attitude. Do you want to clean up the workplace just after joining?
"Masked man, correct your attitude..."
Bai Ye frowned and snorted, "This is senior Kakuzu, who has been active in the underground black market of various countries for decades. He fought dozens of rounds with the first generation of Hokage and was able to escape unscathed."
Kakuzu's face changed slightly. Fighting with the first generation of Hokage and surviving was indeed a way for him to brag about himself.
But it is not used here to attract hatred, but to raise the value and get mission commissions more easily. Reputation is very important these days.
And a group of elite ninjas are discussing plans here. What kind of conspiracy is this?
"Kakuzu?" Obito was quite displeased and glanced at Black Zetsu beside him: "Do you know this person? Have you collected information about him?"
Black Zetsu sighed in his heart, and then said:
"I heard that Kakuzu is a very powerful ninja. With his joining, our future actions will be much easier."
After hearing this, Obito put away his contempt and opened his Sharingan to look at Kakuzu seriously.
Kakuzu naturally noticed the Sharingan and was shocked. How come there is already an Uchiha in Akatsuki? And this Sharingan, which is different from the three-magatama Sharingan, should be the legendary Mangekyō Sharingan.
What exactly does Akatsuki do? Is it really just a subsidiary of the Hidden Rain Village?
