Chapter 86 White Night's Strategy
Bai Ye's words made Hanzo fall into a brief silence.
He didn't know why Bai Ye disdained the title of demigod. Although there was a big gap between demigod and ninja god, the title of demigod brought real benefits to the Rain Country.
If there was no such title, the Rain Country would most likely be involved in this ninja world war.
At that time, it would not be a civil war between Akatsuki and the Hidden Rain Village, but a big melee that swept across several countries.
This is the role of reputation. Only the reputation of "demigod" is enough to deter the evil-minded villains.
Bai Ye guessed Hanzo's thoughts and said with a sly look:
"If the Hidden Rain Village only stays in the land of the Rain Country, the name of the demigod will naturally be more beneficial than harmful, but if we want to expand outward, the name of 'demigod' will become a burden."
"If everyone is afraid of 'demigods', how can we develop and expand?"
"You have some truth..."
After pondering, Hanzo had to admit that Bai Ye saw further than him. He only wanted to use the reputation of the demigod to protect the Rain Country, but this move aroused the fear of major ninja villages.
In this ninja world war, he also had the idea of annexing the surrounding small ninja villages.
But the Iwagakure and Konoha armies stationed on the border of the Rain Country made him give up the idea of participating in the war and lost his last enterprising spirit.
However, as a loser, Hanzo wanted to see Bai Ye's opinion of the Rain Country.
Bai Ye did not hide it. After slowly extending two fingers, he directly stated the strategy he planned to implement in the future.
In short, the Rain Country wants to stand out among many ninja villages.
All you need to do is to accumulate food and slowly become king. In layman's terms, it means to vigorously develop infrastructure, military and economy, and be the last to stand in the ninja war.
After listening to Bai Ye's strategic plan, Hanzo frowned and said, "Bai Ye, your idea is very good, but if we compete in development, Yu Yin Village can't compete with the five major hidden villages."
This is also the fact. The land area and population of the Rain Country are far inferior to the five major countries.
This is also the reason why the five major ninja villages can always lead other ninja villages. A sufficient population can produce enough ninjas, even if the loss of ninjas in the war exceeds the total number of Yu Yin Village members.
The five major ninja villages can also slowly replenish over time.
After hearing Hanzo's words, Bai Ye showed a mysterious smile: "Yes, as long as the five major ninja villages are not in chaos, the Rain Country will never be able to beat them."
"But this Ninja World War is about to end. What will they do after losing the external conflicts?"
"They are in turmoil because of the uneven distribution of benefits!"
Hanzo gave the answer on behalf of Bai Ye. He has completely understood Bai Ye's idea. This is an open conspiracy. The Akatsuki organization only needs to lie dormant.
However, only Bai Ye, Yahiko and others in the Akatsuki organization can do this.
Even if he knows that this method cannot be implemented, because he is already very old, and he may die in the hospital bed one day. Time is on Bai Ye's side.
After listening to the future strategy of the Akatsuki organization, Hanzo is no longer interested in the specific details.
It will take at least several years for Bai Ye's plan to be implemented, and during these years, there will be no major unrest in the Rain Country.
Now, he only needs to serve as an instructor in the Akatsuki organization as a dead person and silently manage the Hidden Rain Village.
When Hanzo made a decision in his heart, Bai Ye also received a reward from the system.
[Hanzo joined Akatsuki, you got Hanzo's fluid technique]
[Hanzo joined Akatsuki, you got Water Style: Water Instant Body, Advanced Water Style Gift Pack]
[Hanzo joined Akatsuki, you got Salamander Frying]
Bai Ye was very satisfied with the series of rewards.
The gains brought to him by Hanzo's joining Akatsuki even exceeded those of the Hidden Rain Village joining Akatsuki.
But think about it, the Hidden Rain Village itself is very weak, and it has always been supported by Hanzo to maintain the false reputation of the sixth largest ninja village.
In the original plot, after losing a series of Kage-level strongmen such as Hanzo, Nagato, and Konan, the Rain Country was beaten back to its original form and completely became a chaotic place.
After receiving the reward, Bai Ye rubbed out the Wood Style Seed with his hands and handed it to Hanzo.
Looking at the Wood Style Seed in Bai Ye's hand, Hanzo's face became ugly, but he still swallowed it.
"Bai Ye, do you really not trust me? And you still use this method."
Bai Ye watched Hanzo swallow it, and said seriously: "Teacher Hanzo, this matter is good for both you and me. I am not a hot-blooded fool like Yahiko. I have to keep a backup plan for everything."
Hanzo's face darkened, and his good impression of Bai Ye also dissipated a lot.
However, with such scheming and means, it seems that the Akatsuki organization will not be like him, being thrown around by others.
This time, he just misjudged the person and was betrayed by Danzo.
Otherwise, if he and Danzo, the assistant of the Hokage, joined forces, this battle would at least not be lost so badly!
And if it weren't for Danzo's instigation, he would not even be able to take action against the Akatsuki organization.
Thinking of this, Hanzo's face became serious and he said to Bai Ye:
"By the way, there is one important thing I forgot to tell you. Danzo, who cooperated with me, may still be in the Land of Rain."
"You may not know Danzo. Danzo is the Hokage advisor of Konoha and has a similar status in Konoha..."
Speaking of this, Hanzo paused and glanced at Bai Ye.
Bai Ye ignored Hanzo's eyes, shook his head and said: "Hanzo teacher, are you talking about Danzo senior? I know him!"
"Danzo senior?!"
Hanzo noticed Bai Ye's address to Danzo, and his face began to look strange.
Could it be that Bai Ye and Danzo are still connected? Danzo's real partner could not be Bai Ye.
Bai Ye nodded gently, and then said:
"Yes, senior, like Hanzo teacher, Danzo senior is also a person I respect. When I was still weak, Danzo senior invested in me and gave me a lot of help."
"Later, Danzo senior also provided a lot of power-grabbing plans to help me become the leader of the Akatsuki organization. He is a kind and good senior. He ran too fast when we met last time, otherwise I would like to reminisce with him."
"After all, if it weren't for him, I probably wouldn't be the leader of the Akatsuki organization now."
"Senior, reminisce..."
After hearing the key words, Hanzo breathed a sigh of relief.
He roughly guessed Bai Ye's experience. Danzo probably wanted to use Bai Ye like himself, but was killed by Bai Ye and was forced to flee the Rain Country.
As for Bai Ye's words of respect and reminiscing about the past, he always listened to them the other way around.
Bai Ye must have thought of a way to deal with Danzo in his mind a long time ago, so he didn't need to worry too much about it. He should think about how to retire in the Akatsuki organization.
The era of demigods is over.
