Chapter 166 Scorpion's New Technology

From Yahiko's perspective, if Konoha was really attacked by the Hidden Cloud Village, he would definitely provide assistance and help Konoha's defense counterattack.

First, Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas of Konoha, is the teacher of several of them.

Second, the deceased Minato Namikaze was his close friend, and the two sides had many similarities in terms of governing philosophy. The Hidden Rain Village also needed to fight back against such a powerful ally as Konoha.

The problem also happened to appear here. The fourth generation Hokage is dead, and the new Hokage is still unknown.

If the new Hokage is Jiraiya, then the relationship between the Hidden Rain Village and Konoha can naturally be maintained. If it is someone else, they need to consider the reality.

After all, Jiraiya, who was born in Konoha, taught the three of them to grow.

But Konoha's Shimura Danzo also dealt a big blow to the Akatsuki organization. If Bai Ye had not keenly noticed something wrong and made preparations in advance, the Akatsuki organization would have been destroyed long ago.

Thinking of this, Yahiko looked at the others and said slowly: "Nagato, Konan, if the Hidden Cloud Village really attacks Konoha, what are you going to do?"

Faced with Yahiko's question, Nagato fell into deep thought.

Compared with Yahiko, he had no feelings for Konoha and his attitude was quite indifferent.

It was true that Jiraiya taught him back then, but it was Konoha's ninjas who killed his parents and attacked the Akatsuki organization.

In particular, after knowing that Konoha stood idly by and watched the Whirlpool Country back then, his favorability towards Konoha was directly reduced to zero, and he was only concerned about Kushina, who was also a Whirlpool ninja.

Now Kushina also died in the Nine-Tails Rebellion, and he could not find a reason to help Konoha.

And Nagato had a vague idea in his mind, that is, to stay away from Konoha. If he continued to stay close to Konoha, his future life might become even more unfortunate.

Even everything he has now will be lost, after all, everything he once had was taken away by Konoha.

Thinking of this, Nagato said expressionlessly:

"My idea is to remain neutral and not participate in the war between them, but whether you support Konoha or Kumogakure, I will not object."

After hearing Nagato's suggestion, Yahiko was slightly stunned. He noticed Nagato's indifference to Konoha, and it was not an opinion that he neither supported nor opposed it. It was equivalent to giving up his vote, okay...

However, Nagato was so indifferent to Konoha, and his idea of ​​helping Konoha might be difficult to realize.

Konan frowned and pondered for a long time, and then said:

"The Ninja World War has just ended not long ago, and the ninjas in the village don't want to fight. If Kumogakure and Konoha really go to war, can we invite both sides to meet and prevent the outbreak of war?"

"If the war can really be prevented in this way, it can also be regarded as practicing the concept of the Akatsuki organization."

Hearing this, Yahiko showed a helpless smile. If the war was really so easy to prevent, then the ninja world would have achieved eternal peace long ago.

It seems that how the Rain Village should stand in the future, it still needs to be consulted by Bai Ye.

After hearing each other's thoughts, Nagato and Konan also looked at Bai Ye. After all, Bai Ye was the leader of the Akatsuki organization, and Yuyin Village was just a ninja village under the Akatsuki organization.

Bai Ye smiled slightly and then said:

"My idea is similar to Nagato's. Even if Konoha and Kumogakure really start fighting, we should not leave easily. After all, once we fall into the quagmire of war, it will be difficult to get out."

Hearing this, Yahiko and the other two were stunned and showed doubtful expressions.

They didn't expect Bai Ye to really not intend to intervene in the war. This should not be Bai Ye's style.

Bai Ye saw what they were thinking, and said with a strange look on his face: "Do you think I'm a warmonger? Of course I won't easily intervene in the war."

Yahiko still didn't believe it, and said in a surprised tone: "Really?"

Bai Ye scratched his head, and then said: "It's not that I really won't intervene, but I have to choose the right time. After Konoha and Kumogakure have tasted the bitter fruit of the war, the village can take the opportunity to reap the benefits."

Yahiko and others' faces returned to normal. This is the Bai Ye in their hearts.

However, Bai Ye's plan is indeed the best choice at the moment. If Kumogakure does not start a war, then Yugakure will continue to develop silently.

If Kumogakure really starts a war, Yugakure will have to consider its own interests.

What Yahiko and the other two didn't know was that Bai Ye already had a plan for the outbreak of the war in his mind, and he also knew that Kumogakure would definitely attack the Land of Fire this time, so he just had to wait quietly for the opportunity.

After shifting the topic from the Nine-tailed Rebellion to the possibility that Kumogakure might start a war, and then ending this topic.

A new discussion started in the conference room. This time the object of the discussion was the internal development of Yugakure, which was just a trivial matter.

…

After the high-level meeting, Bai Ye returned to the Akatsuki base outside the village.

After more than a year of development, the scale of the Akatsuki base is no less than that of the Hidden Rain Village, and the number of Akatsuki has increased from more than 100 to more than 300.

However, as the number of people increased, Bai Ye divided the Akatsuki into the inner and outer rings.

The outer rings are ordinary ninjas who once joined the Akatsuki, most of whom are ninjas from the Hidden Rain Village, while the inner rings are the rebel ninjas recruited by Bai Ye from outside, who at least have the strength of elite jonin.

After walking deep into the base, Bai Ye came to a secret room.

There were two red-haired female ninjas in the room. One of them was lying on the bed with disheveled hair, staring at the ceiling with a distracted look, not knowing what she was thinking.

The other one was sitting on a stool reading a book, and from time to time she was condensing a sealing spell in her hands.

After hearing the footsteps from outside, the red-haired female ninja who was reading a book did not move, but the disheveled female ninja sat up alertly and looked at Bai Ye with a vigilant face:

"Bai Ye, how long are you going to imprison me? When will you let me out?"

Hearing this, Bai Ye replied indifferently: "Wait until your injury is healed, if I let you out now, you will only die!"

The disheveled female ninja in front of him was none other than Uzumaki Kushina.

After the Nine-Tails Rebellion, he spent a lot of time and energy, as well as Karin's blood, to save Uzumaki Kushina's life.

Even so, Kushina, who had lost a lot of vitality, was still seriously injured, and only had the strength of a Genin left.

It will probably take several years to fully recover.

Karin also came over and advised: "Sister Kushina, Lord Bai Ye is right. If you go out in your current state, any jonin can kill you. You'd better stay here and recuperate."

Kushina glanced at Karin, and then said: "Karin, you were deceived by Bai Ye, so you spoke for him. He was obviously staying near Konoha at that time, but he didn't take action against the Nine-Tails."

"Sister Kushina, I have no obligation to deal with the Nine-Tails, and who knew you would perform the forbidden technique of the Shikigami Seal, which obviously only needed to delay for a while."

After a pause, Bai Ye continued: "And you are my clansman, and Namikaze Minato is not. Otherwise, you can commit suicide now, and you can go to accompany Minato soon. I won't stop you."

Kushina is a hot-tempered person. She wants to teach Bai Ye a lesson, but her sick body can't do it.

So with a cold face, he said: "If you hadn't taken me away at that time, other people in the village would have saved me. As long as I could hold on until Tsunade-sama returned, I wouldn't necessarily die."

At this time, Huali shook her head and said without giving any face: "Sister Kushina, forgive me for being blunt, except for Lord Baiye, no one else can save you."

"When you were sent here, your soul was lost. I can save your body, but only Lord Baiye can save the broken soul."

Hearing this, Kushina could only stop.

She knew that Baiye had saved her life. Under the circumstances at that time, the masked man was likely to ambush nearby, and Baiye would not risk being attacked by the masked man.

However, what Kushina couldn't understand was that Baiye had obviously cured her, but he wanted to keep her here.

As for Baiye asking her to commit suicide for love, she actually had this idea in her heart, but that would be too selfish.

Her child Naruto is still serving as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki in Konoha.

This is also the reason why she and Bai Ye had a conflict. She left here now and returned to Konoha to accompany Naruto and raise him.

After a moment of silence, Kushina stared at Bai Ye and asked, "Bai Ye, what do you want me to do to send me to Konoha?"

Bai Ye sighed softly and said, "I just want you to stay here to recuperate. When your injuries get better, I will naturally send you back. This is to protect you."

"Have you ever thought about the masked man who attacked you at the beginning? He may attack you a second time."

Kushina fell into silence. She almost forgot about this matter. With her current strength, returning to Konoha will not only fail to protect Naruto, but may pose a threat to Naruto.

However, why did the masked man attack her? It is also not safe for Naruto to stay in Konoha at this moment.

Bai Ye saw through Kushina's thoughts and said:

"Sister Kushina, I have also sent people to inquire about Naruto's news during this period, and the masked man does not seem to have the intention to attack Naruto."

"Maybe Konoha has done a good job of keeping secrets, or maybe they are only targeting you two."

"However, I really want to take Naruto away, but unfortunately Naruto has always been followed by the Anbu, and Konoha will never let me take the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki away."

Kushina sighed softly, and she didn't seem to have any better solutions.

Although she wanted to protect Naruto by his side, she could only protect Naruto by not staying by his side. Now she seemed to have no choice but to hide her name and stay in this underground space without sunlight.

At this time, Bai Ye picked up a book beside him, handed it to Kushina and said:

"If you have nothing to do, work with Huali to compile teaching materials on medical ninjutsu and sealing techniques. I will bring you news about Naruto every few months."

After that, Bai Ye left the room deep in the base.

Karin glanced at Kushina, then at Bai Ye in the distance, and then followed him and asked: "Master Bai Ye, why didn't you take Kushina's child away at that time? And who is the masked man?"

"Naruto is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Konoha will not allow it."

"As for the identity of the masked man, I don't know, but he should have some connection with Kushina. If he is just dealing with the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, there is no reason why the masked man would not attack Naruto again."

"However, Sister Kushina is not emotionally stable at the moment, so I still have to trouble you."

"I will take good care of Sister Kushina..." Karin nodded and left Bai Ye. She believed that Bai Ye would not harm Kushina. They were each other's only remaining tribesmen.

After Huali left, Bai Ye's eyes returned to indifference. He looked up at the cold light above his head, and then walked towards the Akatsuki office firmly.

Of course, he knew the identity of the masked man and watched the entire process of the Nine-Tails Rebellion.

If it weren't for getting half of the Nine-Tails, he didn't even want to intervene in the end. After all, only by letting Konoha fall into chaos can there be a chance for the Akatsuki to develop.

Konoha is the whale in the ocean of the Ninja World. Only when the whale falls can everything grow.

As for why Kushina Uzumaki was rescued, in addition to Kushina being a Uzumaki ninja, recruiting her may reveal the rewards of the Uzumaki clan, and it is also for the future recruitment of Uzumaki Naruto.

Uzumaki Naruto is the reincarnation of Ashura, the prophesied son of Myoboku Mountain, and the future savior of the Ninja World.

As for why Kushina Uzumaki was not allowed to see Naruto or take Naruto Uzumaki away directly, the first reason was that he didn't want Black Zetsu to know about this, and the second was that he didn't want to become a thorn in Konoha's eyes.

Konoha would never let the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki leave.

After arriving at the Akatsuki office, Bai Ye saw Hanzo standing at the door as a guard. The former Hanzo seemed to be accustomed to retirement life and had become a doorman.

Hanzo also saw Bai Ye and said with a smile: "Bai Ye, you are finally back. What did Yahiko and the others call you for?"

"Nothing, just a message."

"What message?" Hanzo asked curiously: "What message did they know faster than you?"

Bai Ye saw Hanzo's gossiping heart and said lightly: "The Nine-Tails Rebellion broke out in Konoha not long ago, and the Fourth Hokage and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki both died."

"The Fourth Hokage and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki both died!?"

Hearing this news, even Hanzo was stunned. Although he had been staying near the Hidden Rain Village, he was well-informed about the news from the outside world.

Knowing that Konoha had a Fourth Hokage who was proficient in the Flying Thunder God Technique.

But how could the Fourth Hokage die with the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki? The two of them together are enough to destroy a small ninja village.

At this time, Hanzo seemed to remember something, and then looked at Bai Ye, and said in a suspicious tone: "Bai Ye, the Nine-Tails Rebellion was not done by you, right?"

"Don't talk nonsense, it has nothing to do with me!"

Bai Ye hurriedly denied it, but in Hanzo's view, it was just an attempt to cover up the truth. He didn't ask too much, just smiled and said:

"It doesn't matter whether you did it or not, but Scorpion came over just now, and he seemed to have something to do with you."
