Became the mastermind behind the Akatsuki organization

Chapter 100 The possibility of forming the Xiaotian Group
Hanzo couldn't understand Bai Ye, and didn't know where Bai Ye's sense of crisis came from.

In the era when he ruled the Hidden Rain Village, having a qualified elite jonin successor was already a luxury.

The current Akatsuki organization not only has several Kage-level fighters, but its leader, Bai Ye, also seems to want to recruit more subordinates, and those are extremely vicious criminals like Scorpion of the Red Sand.

But it’s better not to say too much about an old man like him who has been abandoned by the times.

Although he had been hiding his identity and staying in the Akatsuki base these days, he still learned about the current situation of the Hidden Rain Village through contact with Akatsuki members.

During the time he was imprisoned, the Hidden Rain Village not only did not fall into chaos, but even developed very well.

The jonin and nobles who usually acted timidly in front of him all obeyed the orders of the leader of the Hidden Rain Village, and the entire Hidden Rain Village exuded an atmosphere of prosperity and flourishing.

This was something he could never do in the past.

After hearing the news, he not only admitted that he was old, but also gave up the idea of ​​resistance.

Bai Ye glanced at Hanzo. He knew Hanzo's little thoughts very well, and at the same time, he secretly despised the ambition of this little demigod in his heart.

In the Akatsuki organization of later generations, there were ten ninjas who had the ability to capture the Jinchūriki.

With such a strong fighting force gathered together, even a large ninja village like Konoha could be conquered by force. However, due to various reasons, the fighting force of the Akatsuki organization could not be gathered together.

Come to think of it, it would be strange if a group of extremely vicious rebels got together and had any cohesion.

However, in Bai Ye's opinion, the greatest role of the Akatsuki organizations in later generations is not to capture the tailed beasts, but the intelligence and knowledge in their brains. We must find a way to make them work for the organization.

Recalling the memories of his previous life, Bai Ye wondered who would be suitable to recruit.

We are still in the Ninja World War period, and there are actually not many rebel ninjas who dare to wander in the Ninja World, and there are even fewer names that Bai Ye can remember.

After much thought, Bai Ye could only recruit three people.

One of them is Scorpion of the Red Sand, who assassinated the Third Kazekage and is currently one of the strongest puppeteers.

The second is the bounty hunter Kakuzu, who began to believe in money after failing to assassinate the first Hokage.

The last one is the Konoha rebel ninja Hiruko. He was a classmate of the Three Ninjas, but was not favored by the Third Hokage. Later, he was forced to defect because of his research on forbidden human techniques.

Among these three people, the whereabouts of Red Sand Scorpion and Beiliuhu are difficult to find.

Scorpion and Obiru are both research ninjas. Apart from going out to look for materials, they spend the rest of their time hiding in the corners of the ninja world doing scientific research.

Only Kakuzu's whereabouts are easy to confirm.

Kakuzu is a famous bounty hunter in the ninja world. You only need to wait patiently in the black markets of various countries to find Kakuzu's whereabouts.

It took several days for Bai Ye to obtain information about Kakuzu from his subordinates.

Kakuzu is active in the Land of Fire, and seems to want to take advantage of the current state of war between the Hidden Mist Village and Konoha to harvest a few more heads and get the bounty.

After all, the Hidden Mist Village has now lost the Three-Tails and the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, and no longer has the strength to continue fighting.

After hearing the news, Bai Ye decided to immediately go to the Land of Fire to find Kakuzu's whereabouts. He also wanted to investigate the situation in the Land of Fire and see if he could cause any trouble in the Land of Fire, such as provoking a conflict between the Daimyo and Konoha Village.

Before leaving, Bai Ye went to the Yuyin Building and told Yahiko that he had to go out for something.

After returning to the base, I talked to Huali for a few more words.

After Akatsuki took control of the Hidden Rain Village, he assigned Karin to manage the logistics of Akatsuki. It is not good for such a person to always stay at home and be a shut-in.

After completing these, Bai Ye went to the Anbu of the Akatsuki organization and left the Hidden Rain Village with Hanzo.

Hanzo is both shrewd and powerful. It would be bad if they attacked Yahiko and the others while Hanzo is away, and it would also easily expose the fact that Hanzo is still alive.

On the way to the Land of Fire.

Hanzo, who was forced to wear a fire cloud robe and an animal mask, said with displeasure: "Bai Ye, I am already old, and I really don't want to leave the Hidden Rain Village at this time."

"And if my identity is exposed, it will cause trouble for the Akatsuki organization."

Bai Ye glanced at Hanzo and said without disguising:
"Senior Hanzo, don't think too much. I brought you out because I was afraid that after I left, you would contact your former subordinates to reestablish yourself in the Hidden Rain Village."

Facing Bai Ye who was telling the truth, Hanzo said with a strange expression: "You guys have governed the Hidden Rain Village so well, why would I want to restore it? I'll wait for you to come back and fight again?"

Bai Ye shook his head slightly, then said:
"I believe in Hanzo-senpai. You are my teacher after all. But I don't trust your subordinates and those Rain Country parasites. They will try every means to get you back to fight against the reforms implemented by Yahiko."

Hanzo fell silent, he knew that what Bai Ye said was true.

Because of the influence of superiors, the Hidden Rain Village and the Rain Kingdom have become much more corrupt than they were a decade ago. Although the reforms of the Akatsuki organization are beneficial to the Rain Kingdom, they have infringed on the interests of a small number of people.

These people will definitely be unwilling to accept this and will definitely take the opportunity to cause trouble.

Seeing Hanzo fall silent, Bai Ye said seriously: "Teacher Hanzo, I am actually very glad that Danzo provoked the relationship between us, otherwise if you really accepted the Akatsuki organization, it would be difficult for us to kill people."

"I always hate the back-and-forth arguments in meetings. It's more convenient to deal with the termites."

It was the first time that Hanzo saw Bai Ye so serious. The decisive look in his eyes reminded him of his past self, but now he seemed a little afraid of this look, and his will was no longer firm.

But once your will is not firm, you will hesitate to attack, and the knife in your hand will no longer be able to kill a strong enemy.

If it were him fifteen years ago, he would rather die in the war than surrender. Even if Bai Ye threatened him, he would kill the salamander first and then continue fighting.

Seeing Hanzo always brings back memories of the past, Bai Ye said half-jokingly, half-seriously:
"In fact, I can also release Hanzo-senpai now, and you can go to the Rain Country to organize the remnants, just in time to catch all the enemies at once."

Hanzo didn't know if Bai Ye was joking, but he still explained:
"I really have no intention of leaving Akatsuki. Don't test me again. Besides, the Salamander is in your hands now. I can only exert 70% of my strength at most."

"Just let me live out my old age in peace."

"Have you been discovered by Hanzo-senpai? My acting is still too poor."

Bai Ye scratched his head, his facial expression returned to a harmless one, he stood up from the stone by the roadside, and continued on his way with Hanzo.
