Chapter 204 Intelligence

In the territory of the Kingdom of Hot Springs.

Under the strong suggestion of the Hidden Rain Village, the location of the peace talks between Konoha and Kumogakure was officially confirmed as the Hidden Rain Village.

The Kingdom of Hot Springs, where the Hidden Rain Village is located, is a country with extremely rich natural resources. Under such favorable conditions, the strength of the ninjas of the Kingdom of Hot Springs is far below the average line of the ninja world, and their strength is even not as good as that of the Hidden Cloud Village.

After arriving here, Yahiko and Konan seemed to understand why the Hidden Cloud Village wanted to attack the Kingdom of Hot Springs.

The Kingdom of Hot Springs is obviously weak, but it occupies such a rich piece of land. If they put themselves in their shoes, they might also attack the Kingdom of Hot Springs.

Bai Ye saw what Yahiko and Konan were thinking, and chuckled, "Boss Yahiko, sister Konan, are you interested in the Land of Hot Springs?"

"If you really want it, we can ask for this land."

Yahiko showed a vigilant look, looked at Bai Ye and shook his head and said, "Bai Ye, we are here to mediate the war between Wood Release and Cloud Village, not to attack the Land of Hot Springs."

Bai Ye said meaningfully, "Maybe the Land of Hot Springs needs our protection. Our Rain Village lacks resources, and theirs lacks military force. Isn't it just to make up for the shortcomings of both sides?"

Hearing this, Yahiko and Konan fell into deep thought, thinking about the feasibility of Bai Ye's suggestion.

After several years of development, the Land of Hot Springs has basically completed its domestic construction, and the chakra system has also taken shape as an industrialized prototype, producing a lot of goods and commodities.

If the Land of Hot Springs can really be included in the sphere of influence, both the raw materials and the market can be solved.

But the current problem is that the Country of Tang is not actually under the jurisdiction of the Hidden Tang Village. The current leader of the Hidden Tang Village is only an elite jonin, and is considered an upper-class figure in the ninja world, but he is nothing in the eyes of the five major ninja villages.

Any elite jonin from the five major ninja villages can make the Hidden Tang Village in chaos.

The control of the Hidden Tang Village has actually been in the hands of Konoha, which is why Konoha must fight back when the Hidden Cloud Village attacks the Country of Tang.

Once the Hidden Rain Village and the Hidden Tang Village reach a cooperation, even control the Country of Tang.

It is bound to arouse the vigilance of Konoha and the Hidden Cloud Village, and let the Hidden Rain Village, which should have been watching from the sidelines, face pressure from Konoha and the Hidden Cloud Village at the same time.

Seeing Yahiko and Konan fall into deep thought, Bai Ye chuckled and said:

"I'm just making a suggestion. The Akatsuki organization does not have the ability to swallow the Hidden Tang Village at present. After all, we haven't even taken over the Hidden Grass Village, the Hidden Tung Village and the Country of Tian."

When he heard that Bai Ye was just joking, Yahiko was relieved.

But when Yahiko heard that Bai Ye had ideas about all the small countries around the Land of Rain, he was still shocked. The Land of Grass and the Land of Fields were fine.

There has always been a conflict between the Kusagakure and the Land of Rain in the Land of Grass, and there is no ninja village in the Land of Fields.

The strength of the Longyin Village is one of the best among the small ninja villages. Although you don’t usually see a few ninjas from the Longyin Village, the Longyin Village has the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki.

After taking a deep breath, Yahiko said:

"Bai Ye, our Akatsuki organization is a peace-loving organization. You can't always list the surrounding ninja villages as attack targets. They can't threaten us now."

"Boss Yahiko, I have always loved peace. As long as they don't provoke the organization, I will definitely not launch a counterattack, but if they take the initiative to ask for help, we can't refuse their request."

After a pause, Bai Ye continued: "Boss Yahiko, I have arranged a meeting between you and the leader of Yuyin Village. After talking to him, you may change your mind."

"Don't forget, our Akatsuki organization was born because of the war between the great powers. Do we give up contacting Yuyin Village and listening to their presence because we are afraid of offending Konoha and Kumogakure Village?"

Yahiko's body shook, and after a moment of silence, he nodded.

He thought about a lot of things, but in the end he didn't refuse Bai Ye's arrangement. Bai Ye was right. He cared too much about his relationship with Teacher Jiraiya and forgot the reason why Akatsuki was born.

It is true that Jiraiya is the teacher who taught the three of them and taught them the concept of peace.

But Jiraiya's peace is from the perspective of Konoha. Everything is based on the interests of Konoha. And when Jiraiya adopted them, Konoha actually attacked the Hidden Rain Village.

...

After persuading Yahiko to meet with the leader of the Hidden Yu Village, Bai Ye raised a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.

He is not so righteous. Everything is to increase his strength to deal with the future crisis of the ninja world.

If the Hidden Yu Village can be cooperated with or even taken under its command, the Akatsuki organization will definitely increase its strength. By then, its strength will surpass the general Kage-level strongman and reach the initial stage of super-Kage.

After returning to the room, Bai Ye suddenly felt something, and looked at the ground with his hands in seals.

After a burst of white smoke dissipated, a scroll lay quietly on the floor. Bai Ye picked up the scroll on the floor.

This scroll was sent by Kabuto Yakushi, and it recorded a simple piece of information.

Orochimaru defected from Konoha and became a wanted S-rank traitor.

After reading the scroll, Bai Ye burned it and threw it into the pond, watching the ashes drifting in the pond and finally sinking into the water.

Bai Ye was not surprised that Orochimaru defected from Konoha.

Orochimaru is a scientist who is even crazier than the second generation Hokage. It is impossible for him to stay in Konoha Village for a long time. First, Orochimaru likes to attack his companions, which violates the will of fire.

Secondly, Orochimaru does things without taboos and likes to study forbidden ninjutsu the most.

However, Bai Ye was a little surprised that Orochimaru's defection time was actually much earlier. Perhaps it was because of his appearance that interfered with the future fate of the Akatsuki organization.

However, even if the timeline changed, it didn't matter to him now.

Instead, Bai Ye was curious about where Orochimaru had fled to. If he could recruit Orochimaru to the Akatsuki organization, he didn't know how much reward he would get.

Recently, pay more attention to the black market, maybe you can find Orochimaru's trace.

There is also the Land of Fields near the Hidden Rain Village. It is remembered that after Orochimaru defected from the Akatsuki organization, the Land of Fields established the Sound Village.

Although Orochimaru has not joined the Akatsuki organization at present, he may have been interested in the Land of Fields for a long time.

Retracting his gradually divergent thoughts, Bai Ye thought about how to reply to Kabuto Yakushi.

Although the most important thing at the moment is to take advantage of the opportunity of the peace talks between Konoha and Kumogakure to make the Hidden Rain Village famous and wealthy, it is also very important to cultivate Kabuto Yakushi.

For a ninja like Kabuto Yakushi who lacks care, as long as you reply regularly to express your care, you can make the other party loyal to you.
