Became the mastermind behind the Akatsuki organization

Chapter 10 Let Him Taste the Taste of Betrayal

A few days later, inside the Akatsuki base.

After finishing the work at hand, Akatsuki leader Yahiko looked at the two letters on the table. Judging from the handwriting, one of them was written by Konan and the other was written by Byakuya.

Xiaonan's letter described in detail what she and Bai Ye had experienced over the past few days.

It was emphasized that they had encountered Konoha ninjas who were clearing out the Iwagakure stronghold, as well as Iwagakure ninjas who disguised themselves as Kusagakure ninjas and tried to kill and provoke war on the border.

At the end of the letter, Xiaonan told him not to worry about the shortage of supplies.

Although the prices of materials needed by Akatsuki have been rising due to the war, she has already mastered how to make money, so the organization should not have any trouble with money in the future.

The words in Bai Ye's letters were much sharper.

Not only did he ridicule Akatsuki's current philosophy in various ways, but he also indirectly accused him of being unfit to continue to be the leader of Akatsuki. He also mentioned Nagato in passing and asked him to send Nagato over for support as there was an important matter that needed help.

After reading the letter, Yahiko frowned and looked at the cloudy sky outside the window.

Bai Ye might exaggerate his description of the Iwagakure's behavior, but Konan would not. This shows that other ninja villages really want to drag the Rain Country into the brutal Ninja World War.

With Hanzo-sama in charge, the Rain Country will not lose.
However, what these ninjas did at the border posed a real threat to the civilians of the Rain Country, and with the current capabilities of the Akatsuki organization, there was no way to stop them.

Those foreign ninjas are definitely not as easy to convince as the ninjas in the Rain Country.

As the Akatsuki organization grows, its influence will cover more and more areas, and it will inevitably come into conflict with these foreign ninjas. By then, an irreversible conflict may really break out as Bai Ye said.

At that time, Akatsuki would be forced to fight back.

But in that case, the concept of mutual understanding in Akatsuki would be in name only, and the hatred accompanied by revenge would continue, becoming the seed of the next round of disputes.

However, no matter what, he will stick to his own ideas and will not waver.

The cold rain splashed on Yahiko's skin. After recovering from his trance, Yahiko picked up Baiye's letter again. After seeing Baiye's request for support, he waved towards the distance.

It was several minutes later that Nagato arrived.

This young boy with red hair and a face full of youthfulness is the most important member of the trio.

At least that's what Yahiko thought.

After entering the office, Nagato lowered his head and asked, "Yahiko, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Yahiko nodded, and then said, "Something happened with Konan and Byakuya, do they need you to go over and support them?"

Nagato raised his head, revealing circles of lavender eyes, and said in a panic: "Yahiko, is Konan and the others in trouble?"

Yahiko shook his head and explained, "They are safe and have brought much-needed supplies to the organization. Logically, they should be able to return now, but Bai Ye specifically asked you to go over to provide support."

Nagato nodded, not quite understanding: "Got it, I'll rush over. Where are they now?"

Yahiko took out a map from the drawer, marked the location for Nagato, and said, "It's in Kusagakure Village, but you have to be careful when you go there alone, because many people are watching you!"

Nagato smiled rarely: "Yahiko, I'm actually quite strong. No other ninja in the organization can match me. Don't worry about me."

"That's right. After all, you are the 'child of prophecy' mentioned by Master Jiraiya. With the Rinnegan, you will definitely be able to save the world in the future." "But Nagato, are you really not considering becoming the leader of the Akatsuki organization? You are more suitable for this position than me!"

After chatting for a while, Yahiko finally revealed his true intentions and expressed his intention to give up his position.

After founding Akatsuki, Yahiko had asked Nagato to be the leader of Akatsuki many times.

But they were all rejected by Nagato. However, Yahiko still did not give up the idea of ​​abdicating the position of leader, because Nagato possessed the legendary Rinnegan, the eyes of the Six Paths Sage.

It is precisely the existence of these eyes that makes Yahiko firmly believe that the ideals of Akatsuki will definitely be realized.

Nagato's eyes fell on Yahiko, and he said solemnly: "I am not suitable to be the leader of Akatsuki. In my mind, the leader of Akatsuki will always be you, Yahiko!"

But I have long been unable to do so and do not have the strength to be a leader.

Yahiko sighed softly in his heart and said casually:

"Nagato, it's fine if you don't want to be the leader of Akatsuki, but Bai Ye has been eyeing this position. Maybe the leader position I reserved for you will become his one day."

"Go to Kusagakure Village to support Byakuya and Konan. If you don't accept my kindness, you will regret it sooner or later."

After hearing this, Nagato felt a lot more relieved. He was most afraid that Yahiko would ask him to be the leader of Akatsuki. As for whether the position of leader would fall into the hands of someone else, that depended on Yahiko's own wishes.

He just wanted to follow Yahiko and realize the dream of world peace together.

It doesn’t even matter whether this dream comes true or not, as long as this kind of life continues, it is enough.

After his parents and Sensei Jiraiya left, he had no other family.

……

Nagato left the Akatsuki base and stepped out of the border of the Rain Country.

White Zetsu, who had been secretly monitoring Nagato, emerged from underground, glanced at Nagato who had turned into a small black dot in the distance, then quickly dived underground and headed towards the border of the Land of Grass.

Not long after, White Zetsu arrived at a cave under the Land of Grass.

There is a huge golem in the underground cave. On the chair in front of the golem, lies a white-haired old man with his eyes closed.

White Zetsu came to the white-haired old man and said hesitantly: "Master Madara, Nagato left the Rain Country and now comes to the Grass Country where you are."

After hearing this, Uchiha Madara opened his eyes and asked: "Why did Nagato leave the Rain Country?"

"It seems that you went on a mission. During the time you were asleep, Nagato seemed to have joined an organization called Akatsuki. They were aggressively recruiting members in the Rain Country and advocating mutual understanding between people. They seemed to want to achieve peace in the ninja world through this method."

“Can peace be achieved if people understand each other?”

Uchiha Madara seemed to have thought of something, his expression became a little dazed, and then he sneered: "There was an idiot who had a similar idea, but in the end he betrayed his companions..."

"Let Nagato enjoy the game of house. After he has tasted betrayal, he will join our side."

"Compared to the power of the Samsara Eye, any belief is fragile!"
