Chapter 46: Danzo and Byakuya's Thoughts

After getting Bai Ye's permission, Aburame Ryoma, who had been sweating profusely, left.

At this moment, he finally understood why Danzo chose Bai Ye among all the senior leaders of the Akatsuki organization.

Because Bai Ye's behavior in some aspects is exactly the same as Danzo's. The meeting just now reminded him of the memory of the first time he met Danzo.

Bai Ye is simply the dark side of the Akatsuki organization.

After calming down, Aburame Ryoma rushed to the nearby Root base without looking back, ready to tell Danzo all the information about the previous meeting.

As for the Root team, it has been abandoned as a pawn.

In order to complete Danzo's plan and to protect Konoha, some useless ninjas must always be sacrificed to complete valuable actions. This is also the reason why the Root exists.

Soon, Aburame Ryoma met Danzo in a dense forest.

After seeing Aburame Ryoma return alone, Danzo frowned at first, and after listening to Aburame Ryoma's report, the corners of his mouth curled up subtly.

Sacrificing four Root Chunins is nothing. There are as many cannon fodders as you want.

Reaching an agreement with the Akatsuki organization's Byakuya is the top priority, which is related to his future plans.

Aburame Ryoma recalled the experience just now and couldn't help reminding:

"Danzo-sama, isn't it too dangerous for you to cooperate with this Byakuya? He not only hides the combat power of an elite Jonin, but also guesses your intentions."

"And in terms of age, isn't he a little too young?"

Danzo glanced at his old subordinates and chuckled and said, "Age and combat power can be disguised. These are not important. What's important is that Byakuya has ambitions and the ability to realize his ambitions."

"As long as he continues to grow, he will threaten Hanzo's position sooner or later. At that time, whether the Akatsuki organization replaces Hanzo or is wiped out by Hanzo, it has nothing to do with us."

"Don't forget, our goal is just to create chaos in the Land of Rain."

Hearing this, Aburame Ryoma nodded slightly.

With Danzo-sama's ability, a Jonin lurking in the Akatsuki organization is not easy to grasp. He is too sensitive and worried.

Worried about whether Bai Ye would really rise up and become a threat to the Root and the Akatsuki organization.

Now it seems that as long as Danzo is here, this situation will never happen.

But Aburame Ryoma forgot a premise, that is, Danzo is really for Konoha, not for Konoha's excuse to seek his own interests.

...

After Aburame Ryoma left, Bai Ye found a place to sit down and began to study the benefits left by Aburame Ryoma.

The seal on the storage scroll is very simple, and Bai Ye can break it with just a little effort.

Inside are several boxes of well-made kunai, shuriken and steel wire. In addition, there are several books recording C-level ninjutsu secrets and three million taels of cash.

Bai Ye roughly estimated the value, and conservatively estimated that it is worth 10 million taels, which is equivalent to one-third of Asuma's head, or completing ten S-level tasks.

Considering that it is still during the war, the actual value of these materials is even higher.

Thinking of this, Bai Ye couldn't help but sigh that Konoha is really rich. The Root is not just a training institution of the Anbu, but it can give such a generous gift.

No wonder everyone would collectively besiege Konoha every time there was a Ninja World War.

On the one hand, Konoha was too strong, so they had to drag Konoha down to prevent them from picking up leaks. On the other hand, Konoha was too rich, so even if they lost, they might be able to ask for some reconstruction funds from Konoha.

After putting the supplies back into the storage scroll, Bai Ye opened the Summoning Contract Scroll.

There were a few names written on the scroll, which should be the previous owners of the summoned beasts. I wonder if they are still alive? Will they have become cannon fodder in the Ninja World War.

After carefully checking to confirm that there were no traps, Bai Ye dripped blood on the summoning contract and performed the summoning technique.

The summoned beast is a bird of prey, which is convenient for transmitting information. Unfortunately, unlike other special summoned beasts, it has no combat power and only has the advantage of fast flying speed.

After removing the summoning technique, Bai Ye put the two scrolls into his backpack and fell into deep thought.

Before today, he really didn't expect that he would have contact with Danzo, and even reached an agreement to help each other, becoming a partner who used each other.

However, since Danzo took the initiative to come to his door to give gifts, he had no reason to refuse.

Judging from what Aburame Ryoma said, he and Danzo have the same interests in the short term, and both hope that the Akatsuki organization will rise in the territory of the Rain Country.

It's just that Danzo's goal is to create trouble for Hanzo, the Salamander, and put the Rain Country in chaos.

And his goal is to replace it. After all, the Akatsuki organization will sooner or later have a conflict with the Hidden Rain Village. In order to avoid the Akatsuki organization's annihilation in the original plot, he can only prepare to annex the Hidden Rain Village in advance.

And after getting in touch with Danzo, he can more easily obtain information about Konoha and the Root, and he is getting closer and closer to a win-win situation in the future.

Of course, this win-win means that he wins twice.

Not long after, Konan found Bai Ye with the body of the Root ninja, and his face was very ugly.

In the process of chasing the Root Ninja just now, Bai Ye stepped into the trap set by the Root Ninja, and his body was directly engulfed by the flames and exploded into pieces.

At that time, Xiao Nan was completely stunned and thought that Bai Ye was dead.

After killing all the Root Ninjas, she realized that Bai Ye was not that weak at all. He was just a paper clone following her from the beginning.

Looking at the angry Xiaonan, Bai Ye's face gradually became serious: "Senior Xiaonan, do you remember what I said when we first carried out the mission?"

"I want to show you the reality of the ninja world. Even these are just the tip of the iceberg."

After hearing this, Xiaonan was silent. She did remember this sentence. Bai Ye did this for her good. He has been training her and letting her feel the cruelty of the ninja world.

But Xiaonan still felt something was wrong. It has been several months. Isn't it over yet?

After letting Xiaonan reflect and successfully evading the topic of the paper clone's deception, Bai Ye looked at the corpse of the Root Ninja next to Xiaonan and asked:

"Senior Xiaonan, have you figured out the identities of these attackers?"

Xiaonan nodded, and found several tokens with the Iwagakure mark from the corpse of the Root Ninja, and said: "I suspect they are Iwagakure ninjas."

Then, Xiaonan recalled his previous experience and said with some uncertainty: "It may also be ninjas from Kusagakure Village? They disguised themselves once before."

"Senior Xiaonan's information is almost the same as nothing..."

While joking, Bai Ye walked to the corpse of the Root Ninja, checked it and said: "These people are neither Kusagakure nor Iwagakure ninjas, they are all members of Konoha Anbu."
