Became the mastermind behind the Akatsuki organization

Chapter 177 Konoha's Bounty List

After arranging Hanzo to carry out the task of escorting supplies, Byakuya took Kakuzu and Sasori and left the Hidden Rain Village.

The two of them had long been accustomed to Bai Ye's rebellious behavior of "commanding the teacher". Bai Ye's personality has always been very strange, but he can often lead them to see the road ahead clearly.

The most important thing is that Bai Ye calls Hanzo "teacher" all the time, but these two are not necessarily master and disciple.

Judging from the current situation in the Hidden Rain Village, Hanzo has neither the title of leader nor the power of a leader. The only thing left is the title of demigod.

As for why the former demigod became a retired old man of the Akatsuki organization, this is something we have to ask Bai Ye.

After all, Bai Ye is the mastermind behind the Akatsuki organization and even the Hidden Rain Village, and almost everything he said has come true.

It took half a day for Bai Ye and the other two to leave the Rain Country.

After leaving the dark and humid environment, Scorpion's complexion looked much better. The environment of the Rain Country is really not suitable for puppet manufacturing and maintenance. He prefers the dry environment of the desert.

Bai Ye took out three Konoha forehead protectors and uniforms representing the Akatsuki organization from his backpack and handed them to the other two.

Kakuzu and Sasori took the forehead protectors and Fire Cloud suits, their eyes full of confusion.

Aren't they ninjas from Akatsuki? If they were to wear anything, they would wear the Hidden Rain Village forehead protectors, not the Konoha forehead protectors, and at the same time they were wearing Akatsuki uniforms.

Bai Ye said seriously: "We, the Konoha mercenaries, naturally have to wear Konoha forehead protectors. This is called professionalism. Once we become famous and have a golden signboard, more people will definitely come to us..."

Kakuzu was silent for a while, then chose to put on the Fire Cloud suit and the Konoha forehead protector.

However, Scorpion reached out to take the Konoha forehead protector, he had his own persistence.

Seeing this scene, Bai Ye did not force Scorpion. After putting on the forehead protector, he opened the hunting list sent by Konoha.

The hunting list sent by Konoha was filled with the names of the Kumogakure jonin.

The first one is the Fourth Raikage Ai. The bounty on Ai is as high as 200 million taels, which is equivalent to more than 30 Asumas.

The next is Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, who also has a bounty of 150 million ryo.

After seeing the hunting list, Kakuzu came over quickly. He was very interested in the assassination operation to make money. After seeing the names of the Fourth Raikage and Killer Bee, he said with some interest:
"Bai Ye, how about the mission of assassinating the Fourth Raikage? With our strength, we are not powerless to fight. Once we succeed, our name will surely resound throughout the ninja world."

Bai Ye glanced at Kakuzu, and then said: "Kakuzu, I allow you to act alone this time, but please don't say my name when you are beaten by the Raikage of the Era and Killer Bee."

Seeing that Bai Ye did not support his decision, Kakuzu's momentum suddenly weakened a lot.

In the past, he had always been a proud and arrogant ninja. Although he failed in the attempt to assassinate the first Hokage, the first Hokage was an exception. There were not so many monsters that exceeded the specifications in the ninja world.

But after joining Akatsuki, he realized that he was wrong, and extremely wrong.

Within the Akatsuki organization alone, there are five or six ninjas who are as powerful as himself. Moreover, such a powerful Akatsuki organization is unable to be among the top five ninja villages.

Scorpion seemed to sense Kakuzu's thoughts and was speechless.

As the grandson of Sunagakure Elder Chiyo, he knew very well how rich the Sunagakure was. To put it bluntly, the current Akatsuki organization was enough to crush the Sunagakure Village.

However, Bai Ye’s ambition cannot be satisfied by one ninja village. What Bai Ye wants is the entire ninja world.

After some discussion, Bai Ye selected the first hunting target, a Yunyin jonin who was escorting supplies for Yunyin. The jonin's strength was barely enough for them to warm up. After locking the target, they crossed the Land of Fields and arrived directly in the Land of Hot Springs.

……

The first day in the Kingdom of Hot Springs.

Bai Ye took a few people to a famous tourist attraction in the Land of Hot Springs, checked directly into a hot spring hotel, and soaked comfortably in the open-air hot spring.

Scorpion, taking off his Fei Liu Hu clothes, squatted in the hot spring and blew bubbles. He didn't understand why Bai Ye didn't take the initiative to attack.

Kakuzu also didn't understand why Byakuya was wasting time here.

Bai Ye glanced at Scorpion and Kakuzu with a look of contempt.

But after visiting the Land of Hot Springs, how could one not soak in the hot springs? Moreover, it would be better to wait for the prey to come to you than to actively look for it.

The fact was just as Bai Ye had thought. After he swaggered into the territory of the Land of Hot Springs wearing the Konoha forehead protector, the Cloud Ninjas in the Land of Hot Springs came over like flies smelling scent.

When the Cloud Ninjas holding sharp blades rushed into the hot spring hotel, they encountered a puppet army that had been waiting there for a long time. Facing the carefully crafted puppets, these Cloud Ninjas were no match at all.

Just then, a Cloud Hidden Ninja appeared outside the hot spring hotel.

The Hidden Cloud Ninja jonin shouted loudly, then instantly came to the open-air hot spring. After seeing Bai Ye and others lying lazily in the hot spring, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

You Konoha ninjas are indeed very powerful, but there is water everywhere here.

As long as he uses the Lightning Release Ninjutsu, everyone will be paralyzed due to the electric shock. Then he will win the battle with his physical fitness that far exceeds that of an ordinary jonin.

Thinking of this, the Cloud Hidden Ninja formed seals with his hands and shouted, "Lightning Style: Thunder Fang!"

In an instant, lightning like sharp teeth appeared in the hands of the Cloud Hidden Ninja. He swung the lightning out violently and smashed it hard towards the location of the hot spring.

Seeing this scene, Kakuzu, who had his eyes closed, immediately jumped out and also used a lightning escape technique.

After the two lightning bolts collided, they exploded directly, creating sparks all around and making the entire hot spring sizzle.

The next moment, the Hidden Cloud Ninja was hit directly by a black stick and fell into the hot spring.

The Hidden Cloud Ninja who had lost his ability to fight looked towards Bai Ye's location with an incredible look. Bai Ye was actually walking in the hot spring filled with electric current without being affected at all.

There are only a handful of people in the entire Hidden Cloud Village who have physical fitness that can reach this level.

What shocked him the most was that Konoha was not without strong people of this level, but why was this level of strong people not included in the intelligence?

Could it be that Konoha still has elite troops hidden, or have other ninja villages met with their doom?

Thinking of this, the Hidden Cloud Ninja wanted to escape, but his body was pierced by the tail of the Hidden Cloud Tiger and he could no longer move.

Before he was about to fall into coma, the Hidden Cloud Ninja heard a sentence.

"Scorpion, didn't I tell you to try to keep him alive? If we lose this clue, it will be very difficult for us to find other ninjas."
