Chapter 176 Two Missions

Bai Ye didn't believe the nonsense of the few people, and walked over to grab the letter.

After quickly reading the contents of the letter, Bai Ye's mouth began to twitch, and he didn't know where to start complaining.

This is really Jiraiya's letter for help...

The content of the letter is very simple. Just two days ago, there was a problem with Konoha's supply line. The military supplies purchased from the Hidden Rain Village were intercepted by the Hidden Cloud Ninja in the territory of the Land of Fire, which directly led to the tight front of Konoha.

The intercepted Hidden Cloud Ninja is very powerful, so Jiraiya wants to entrust the people of the Hidden Rain Village to protect the supplies and ensure the safety of the supplies.

There is nothing wrong with the content of this letter, but he just said that Jiraiya would definitely come for help.

Facing the subtle eyes of Yahiko and others, Bai Ye wanted to explain but didn't know how to start. He just complained in his heart that the old toad Gamamaru was a charlatan, and in the blink of an eye he also became a charlatan.

It really completed the three steps of questioning, understanding, and becoming in an instant.

After a light cough, Bai Ye said, "Senior Jiraiya actually sent a letter for help so quickly. It seems that the war between Kumogakure and Konoha is more intense than I thought."

"I believe that it won't be long before the war between Konoha and Kumogakure will end."

"Really?" Xiaonan said with anticipation. In her mind, Bai Ye's words were not speculation and analysis at all, but a prophecy of the future.

"..." Bai Ye put down the letter for help with an embarrassed look.

At this time, Yahiko saw Bai Ye's embarrassment and hurriedly said, "When the war will end is still an unknown. Let's focus on the letter for help."

"Do you agree or disagree with Jiraiya's request for help?"

Xiaonan and Nagato looked at each other, then nodded and said, "We all agree to support Jiraiya."

Bai Ye said slowly, "It's okay to support Konoha Ninja Village, but this is a different price. In addition to the task of escorting supplies, ask him if he needs a ninja to assassinate Kumogakure's masters."

Seeing that everyone agreed to support Konoha, Yahiko nodded slightly, and then turned to Bai Ye Asked: "Bai Ye, do you really plan to let our people assassinate the Cloud Hidden Ninja?" Bai Ye said disapprovingly: "Of course, I have also recruited a lot of powerful wandering ninjas under my command these days. This war is just the right time to hone them and let them play their due value." Yahiko thought for a while, then said: "Be more careful, I know you are very powerful, but there are people beyond people and there are heavens beyond heavens. There may be strange shadow-level strongmen emerging from somewhere in the ninja world." "I will be careful, you reply to Konoha first, I will go back and ask people to prepare." After that, Bai Ye left the Rain Hidden Village office.

...

After returning to the Akatsuki base, Bai Ye summoned the outer formation members through the ring.

The number of outer formation members is not large at present. In addition to Bai Ye, the leader, there are only three people left, Hanzo, Kakuzu and Sasori.

The reason for maintaining the number of four people is not because there are not enough senior ninjas in the Akatsuki organization.

But Bai Ye has always had the idea of ​​"better to have less than enough". The outer formation members will be doing the action of collecting tailed beasts in the future. If they don't even have the strength of elite jonin, they will still do logistics.

Once a ninja reaches the level of elite jonin, it is not so easy to recruit.

These elite jonin are called jonin, but in fact they are not far from the level of Kage. After all, the five Kage and the elite jonin are all included in the scope of jonin.

In Bai Ye's memory, the original members of Akatsuki have been recruited.

Not to mention Nagato and Konan, they are already the top leaders of Akatsuki. Kakuzu and Sasori have also been included. As for the remaining Uchiha Itachi, Hidan, Deidara, Hoshigaki Kisame and Biwa Juzo.

They are either not yet ten years old and don't know whether they have graduated from the ninja school.

Or they are still staying in the Hidden Mist Village as ANBU ninjas. That is Obito's territory. Sooner or later, they will become his subordinates, and he has no time to interfere.

If you want to recruit powerful ninjas in a short time, you may have to start from other aspects.

Uchiha Shisui is a good choice, and the Yakushi Shennong and Beiluhu who travel around the world are also good choices. Their strength should be around the upper ninja, and they can become qualified combat forces with a little training.

Two days later, Bai Ye received two messages.

One came from the Rain Hidden Building. Konoha decided to hire ninjas from the Akatsuki organization to help Konoha solve the ninjas from the Cloud Hidden Village.

The other came from Kabuto Yakushi. After several months of training, Kabuto Yakushi has become a root ninja and has left the Konoha Ninja Village and officially started to perform tasks.

Both messages are very useful, especially the message sent by Kabuto Yakushi, Bai Ye is very satisfied.

Although Kabuto Yakushi is a war orphan, his talent is actually not worse than Kakashi, especially his talent in medical research, which has been recognized by Tsunade and Orochimaru.

With this talent, whether Kabuto Yakushi becomes a high-level Konoha in the future or is taken away by Orochimaru, he is a good spy candidate who can continue to obtain intelligence.

After destroying the intelligence scroll, Bai Ye came to the Akatsuki training ground.

Hanzo, Kakuzu and Sasori had been waiting here for a long time. They all looked at Bai Ye, waiting for Bai Ye's order.

Bai Ye said without any nonsense, "The village received a commission from Konoha, asking us to protect the supplies sold to Konoha and assassinate the Jonin of the Hidden Cloud Village."

"This mission is very difficult, and we can only rely on these masters to take charge."

"Are you going to carry out the mission of escorting supplies, or go out with me to hunt Cloud Ninja?"

After listening to the content of the mission, the three of them pondered for a while.

Hanzo walked to Bai Ye with a smile and said with a smile: "I am old and don't want to leave the village too far, so I'd better carry out the mission of escorting supplies."

Kakuzu and Sasori said without hesitation: "We choose to assassinate the Cloud Hidden Ninja."

The reason why they chose assassination instead of escorting supplies was that Kakuzu and Sasori had their own ideas.

Kakuzu never cared about the specific content of the mission and was a veritable bounty hunter. In addition to the mission target and the ninja who prevented the completion of the mission, he rarely dealt with other ninjas.

Compared to the mission of escorting supplies, which had no benefits, Kakuzu was more inclined to carry out assassination missions.

The reason was also very simple. Killing people made much more money than escorting.

Scorpion's idea was even simpler. His parents were killed by Konoha ninjas. He could not help Konoha, even if it was impossible to escort supplies.

In comparison, it would be better to participate in the task of hunting down the Cloud Ninja, at least you can get the materials for making puppets.

Bai Ye had no objection to the decision of the few people and nodded slightly.
