Chapter 300: Change of Position

"What is the current situation in the ninja world?"

Yahiko and the others fell into deep thought, and for a moment they didn't know how to answer Bai Ye.

After looking at each other, they all looked at Bai Ye, as if to say: Don't keep them waiting.

Bai Ye didn't hide anything and said directly: "The ninja world is currently in a rare period of peace, but the peace will not last too long. At most, in another ten years, the ninja world will set off the next round of ninja wars."

After hearing this, Yahiko and the others were stunned.

Can the peace in the ninja world only last for another ten years? But from the current situation, the war between Konoha and Iwagakure is just a small fight, and there is no trend of expansion at all.

Besides, after experiencing three brutal ninja wars, the major ninja villages should know how cruel war is, and they should not easily start a war again.

But on second thought, the intervals between the previous ninja wars were between ten and twenty years.

Why is this?

As if seeing what the few people were thinking, Bai Ye began a long speech.

The general meaning is that the major ninja villages chose to negotiate peace at the end of the Ninja World War, not because they loved peace, but because the top leaders of the major ninja villages found that there would be no benefit in continuing to fight.

Instead of continuing to fight with the opponent meaninglessly, it is better to sign a peace agreement and temporarily cease fire.

During the peaceful time of truce, a new generation of ninjas will grow up in the major ninja villages and gradually restore the strength of the ninja villages. At the same time, due to the increase in the number of ninjas, the contradictions within the ninja villages continue to accumulate.

After accumulating to a certain extent, the ninja villages will either fall into long-term civil strife or can only expand outward.

For any ninja village, external expansion is the best means to divert contradictions. If you can defeat other opponents, it would be better.

If you can't defeat the enemy, you can also consume the ninjas of the village and the hostile ninja village and reduce potential competitors.

After hearing Bai Ye's theory, Yahiko and others nodded repeatedly. Bai Ye explained the reasons for the outbreak and end of the Ninja World War very well, but from one perspective, the Ninja World War seems to never stop.

Doesn't this mean that the concept of the Akatsuki organization can never be realized?

Thinking of this, Yahiko said to Bai Ye:

"Bai Ye, is there any way to prevent the next Ninja World War? I think even if the number of ninjas is limited, the internal conflicts of the major ninja villages will not be reduced."

Bai Ye shook his head slightly, and then said:

"I can't prevent the conflicts within the major ninja villages, but I have a way to keep the ninja world peaceful for decades, and no large-scale war will break out during this period."

"What method?" Yahiko asked with a serious face.

"Do you remember the era when Konoha dominated the ninja world? Under the deterrence of the first generation of Hokage and the Shura of the Ninja World, even if the four major ninja villages wanted to start a war to divert conflicts, they did not dare to start a war at will."

After hearing this, Yahiko fell into deep thought, and the other two also showed thoughtful expressions.

Although they have not experienced the era when the two heroes of the Ninja World suppressed the Ninja World, they can still glimpse a few words of that era from history books.

In the textbooks of the Hidden Rain Village, it was an extremely depressing era.

For the ninjas of the Hidden Rain Village at that time, the two heroes of the ninja world were just names, which made the entire ninja world breathless. All ninjas lived cautiously, fearing to anger Konoha.

But in the era when the two heroes of the ninja world were alive, there had never been a large-scale war in the ninja world.

But the problem is that when Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha were alive, they could certainly shock the ninja world and make other ninja villages dare not easily start a war.

But the contradictions between the major ninja villages did not disappear, but accumulated more and more.

After Hashirama Senju died, Konoha, which dominated the ninja world at that time, immediately encountered the siege of the four major ninja villages. That war lasted for more than ten years and indirectly led to the outbreak of the Second and Third World Wars.

The most critical thing is that the Akatsuki organization currently does not have the strength to shock the ninja world.

After thinking about this, Yahiko said to Bai Ye: "You mean to let Akatsuki replace the first generation of Hokage and Uchiha, but our current strength is not enough to deter the entire ninja world."

"These, we have developed very rapidly, but at most we can fight on equal terms with one of the five major ninja villages, and we have no strength to suppress them at all."

Yahiko said very sincerely. He was not against Bai Ye's idea, but he felt that it was unrealistic for Akatsuki.

Bai Ye smiled and shook his head, looking at Yahiko and said: "Yahiko, the Hidden Rain Village is currently about the same as the bottom of the five major ninja villages, but it does not mean that the strength of Akatsuki is only this level."

"Don't forget that the Hidden Grass Village, the Hidden Tang Village, the Land of Grass, and the Land of Fields are also under the Akatsuki organization."

"In addition to the manpower accumulated by the organization over the years, our strength has far exceeded Konoha. Although we have not entered the top five ninja villages, we have long surpassed them."

"Our strength has surpassed Konoha?"

Yahiko showed a surprised look, but he was relieved after thinking about it carefully. The Hidden Rain Village may not be as good as Konoha in terms of the number of ninjas, but its high-end combat power has long surpassed it.

But what's the point of surpassing Konoha? Konoha, once the number one ninja village, was often besieged.

Moreover, in addition to their own strength, they surpassed Konoha because of Konoha's suffocation operation in recent years. If Konoha is given a chance to recuperate, it will soon recover its original strength.

The Hidden Rain Village should continue to make a fortune quietly. There is no need to take huge risks to achieve peace in the ninja world.

Thinking of this, Yahiko shook his head: "I still think this plan is too impulsive. The Akatsuki organization only needs to be responsible for the ninja villages under its command. The rest of the places are not ours."

"Whether war breaks out in other parts of the ninja world or lives are destroyed, it has nothing to do with us."

After Yahiko said this, he immediately regretted it. How could he say such irresponsible words?

The original intention of the Akatsuki organization was to see that big countries bully small countries, and to unite more like-minded ninjas to achieve peace in the entire ninja world and make the ninja world no longer have wars.

Now, the Hidden Rain Village is considered a big country, and he has become the person he once hated.

But if he is as impulsive as before, not only will he not be able to achieve peace in the entire ninja world, but he will also lose everything he has now.

After hearing what Yahiko said, Bai Ye did not say much.

But Konan and Nagato looked at Yahiko in shock, showing an unbelievable expression.

They couldn't believe that Yahiko actually said such a thing. Is this still the Yahiko who was as dazzling as the sun and persuaded everyone not to give up their ideals?

Although Yahiko's appearance has not changed much now, the shadow of Hanzo of the Salamander has appeared on him.

As if he could sense the gaze on him, Yahiko looked at Konan and Nagato with a stiff upper lip. After seeing their disappointed expressions, he took a deep breath and said:

"Okay, the Akatsuki organization still cannot give up its ideals, but I will not let you and your companions go to die in vain. I absolutely do not agree with you starting a war against other ninja villages."

"Who told you that I want to start a war against other ninja villages?"

Bai Ye looked at Yahiko suspiciously, and then said: "Is this just your wishful thinking, or do you want to start a ninja world war more than me, Yahiko?"

Yahiko's face changed. He felt that the determination he had just made was like a fist hitting cotton, meaningless.

After some words, Yahiko asked back:

"If we don't start a war, how can we intimidate the five major ninja villages? Do we rely on words?"

"Of course the war must be started, but it is not a long ninja world war. If we want to intimidate the five major ninja villages, we must have the strength to wipe them out at any time, so that they can obey."

At this point, Bai Ye's eyes fell on Nagato.

Yahiko followed Bai Ye's sight and saw Nagato. When he saw Nagato's Samsara Eye, he finally understood Bai Ye's idea.

Bai Ye wanted to rely on Nagato's power to intimidate the ninja world, but is Nagato's strength enough?

Although Nagato has the Samsara Eye of the Six Paths Sage, his hard power is at most equal to the Five Kage, and he cannot have a crushing advantage against the five major ninja villages.

Thinking of this, Yahiko asked Nagato: "Nagato, how strong are you now? Are you sure you can defeat the Five Kage? How much stronger are you than before?"

"I have never fought against the Five Kage, and I don't know if I can defeat them."

After a pause, Nagato continued: "But I am much stronger than I was seven years ago. If I face Hanzo again, I am confident that I can easily defeat him."

"However, if I face two ninjas of Hanzo's level at the same time, I will be powerless."

After hearing this, Yahiko said to Baiye: "Baiye, Nagato is very strong against the Five Kage. It seems that he can't crush them. He can defeat the Five Kage, but the Five Kage often have Shadow Guards around them. "

"Although the Samsara Eye is the eye of the legendary Six Paths Sage, it is just a legend."

"If the Six Paths Sage is really as powerful as a god, he should still be alive now, instead of becoming an unconfirmed legend. Maybe the Six Paths Sage was just a relatively powerful ninja a thousand years ago."

Bai Ye's eyes lit up. Yahiko actually said that the Six Paths Sage was probably just a relatively powerful ninja, not a god above all ninjas.

Yahiko's insights are very accurate, but it is a pity that the Six Paths Sage is really above all ninjas.

Even though the body has been dead for a thousand years, it still lives in the Pure Land and can cross the boundary between life and death at any time and return to the ninja world.

After a moment of silence, Bai Ye slowly said:

"I need to use Nagato's Samsara Eye, but that doesn't mean I only need the power of the Samsara Eye. Over the years, I have noticed a lot of information and got a piece of information that shocked me."

"What information?" Yahiko and the others became interested and looked at Bai Ye.

Bai Ye said slowly: "Nagato, do you still remember the Outer Path Demon Statue that we summoned? That thing is actually the shell of the Ten Tails, and it once contained the power of the nine tailed beasts."

"The Outer Path Demon Statue is the shell of the Ten Tails, and it once contained the power of the nine tailed beasts?"

Yahiko and the others were shocked by the news and couldn't help but say:

"Bai Ye, if the Outer Path Demon Statue is the outer shell of the Ten-Tails and once stored the power of the nine tailed beasts, how powerful will the Ten-Tails in its perfect form be?"

"I don't know either, but it must be more powerful than the Nine-Tails..."

After a pause, Bai Ye continued: "As long as we can hunt the one to nine tailed beasts, seal them all in the Outer Path Demon Statue, and revive the former Ten-Tails, we will be able to gain power that surpasses the five major ninja villages."

"In the face of this power that is enough to destroy the world, all ninja villages in the ninja world will not dare to start a war easily, and peace will last for twenty, thirty years, or even longer."

"After all, the power of the Outer Path Demon Statue is different from that of the first generation of Hokage, and it can be passed down."

"As long as we are still alive, a large-scale war will not break out in the ninja world."

After listening to Bai Ye's description, Konan and Nagato were overwhelmed with emotions. They couldn't wait to see the day of peace.

They did not expect the ninja world to be peaceful forever, even if it only lasted for a hundred years, it would be enough.

At this time, Yahiko seemed to remember something and said:

"Even if the Ten-Tails has overwhelming power and can bring decades of peace to the ninja world, I remember that most of the nine tailed beasts are in the hands of the five major ninja villages and are strictly guarded by the five major ninja villages."

"How did we get the nine tailed beasts without anyone noticing?"

"Maybe before we successfully got the nine tailed beasts, we had a full-scale war with the five major ninja villages. Your plan to collect the tailed beasts and revive the Ten-Tails is not much different from directly declaring war."

Bai Ye shook his head and said:

"Of course there is a difference. I plan to send elite ninjas to carry out the action of collecting tailed beasts in secret, so that even if a ninja village loses a tailed beast, it will keep it secret and will not tell the information to others."

"Bai Ye, are you planning to take advantage of the discord among the five major ninja villages?!"

Yahiko narrowed his eyes slightly, and he almost understood Bai Ye's plan.

The White Night Hunting of Tailed Beasts was not as public as he had imagined, but was carried out in secret. In this way, even if the five major ninja villages lost their tailed beasts, they would not dare to make it public because of mutual fear.

After all, the tailed beasts and the Jinchūriki are the strongest forces in the ninja villages. Once the tailed beasts are lost, the other ninja villages with tailed beasts will use the power of the tailed beasts to launch a large-scale attack.

"Your idea is very good, but once a ninja village notifies the other four ninja villages, they will definitely keep a close watch on the Jinchūriki, or even directly imprison them."

After a brief pause, Yahiko asked a soul-searching question:

"If you want to capture all the tailed beasts at once, you must act at the same time. Does the Akatsuki organization really have so many people?"

Bai Ye nodded gently:

"What do you think the organization has been developing over the years? I have already recruited many powerful ninjas. I only need to capture them when I can start the plan of hunting tailed beasts."

"And these people are not ninjas from the Hidden Rain Village. Even if the action of hunting tailed beasts is exposed, they will not suspect the Hidden Rain Village."

Seeing that Bai Ye had considered it carefully, Yahiko could not say anything else and could only nod and agree.

And he also knew in his heart that even if he did not agree, Bai Ye would have done it in secret, so it would be better to let himself participate in it and grasp the bottom line.
