Became the mastermind behind the Akatsuki organization

Chapter 198 The Reputation of the Hidden Rain Village
Since the first Hokage pacified the troubled times, Konoha has never seized any land in the three wars.

On the one hand, Konoha was always besieged by two or three ninja villages, and it was very difficult to defend its base, and there was simply no military force to garrison the rest of the territories.

On the other hand, Konoha has always expressed the attitude of valuing peace and never initiating war.

Although under the instruction of the Third Hokage, the Root Organization to which Danzo belonged also carried out several secret operations to assassinate ninja village leaders, Jinchūriki, and subvert small countries.

But it is much better than the Sand Village, Iwagakure and Kumogakure who want to directly annex the land.

This series of actions earned Konoha the favor of the small countries in the Ninja World, making these small countries become one of Konoha's vassals in disguise.

In the original plot, every time Naruto carried out a mission related to a small country, it brought huge benefits to Konoha.

Naruto's Bridge in the Land of Waves strengthened the ties between the Land of Waves and the Land of Fire. His friendship with Gaara also made the Sand Village highly dependent on the Konohagakure Village, making it a vassal state that was not a vassal state.

If they want to completely defeat Konoha, they must cut off the connection between Konoha and these small countries, forcing them to defect to the Rain Country, and eventually become the territory of the Akatsuki organization.

Recovering his gradually scattered thoughts, Bai Ye found a stone to sit on and waited for the negotiations to continue.

At this time, Xiaonan came over and saw Bai Ye sitting on a rock to rest. He quickly asked, "Are you injured in the battle with the Fourth Raikage just now?"

Konan actually doesn't care about the future of Akatsuki, she only cares about her companions.

After hearing Xiaonan's concern, Bai Ye smiled and said, "Have you forgotten that I am a descendant of Uzumaki? Although the fist of the Fourth Raikage is relatively hard, it can't hurt me."

Hearing this, Xiaonan finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. I didn't expect that you actually have the strength to confront the Fourth Raikage head-on. You have left us far behind."

Bai Ye smiled mysteriously and said to Xiao Nan randomly: "All this is my hard work, Senior Xiao Nan, have you ever seen the sky of the Hidden Rain Village at four o'clock in the morning?"

Xiaonan shook his head: "In order to make detonating talismans, I often get up at three o'clock to prepare the raw materials."

Hearing this, Bai Ye was speechless. It seemed that the introverts in Yuyin Village were more powerful than each other.

……

As the negotiations continued, many more senior ninjas joined the negotiations in the area where there were originally only three people.

The key to this negotiation is withdrawal, and the discussion is whether the Cloud Ninja should withdraw from the territory of the Land of Fire or the Land of Hot Spring.

Faced with this issue, Jiraiya and the Fourth Raikage have been arguing endlessly.

Jiraiya insisted that the Cloud Ninjas withdraw from the Land of Hot Water, while the Fourth Raikage only withdrew from the Land of Fire. The Land of Hot Water itself had nothing to do with Konoha, and Konoha had no power to interfere at all.

Yahiko didn't know which side to take, so he just listened to the two people arguing in silence.

At this time, Uchiha Fugaku stepped forward and said to the Fourth Raikage: "The Hidden Cloud Village must withdraw from the territory of the Land of Hot Springs this time and compensate Konoha with sufficient war reparations."

The Fourth Raikage glanced at Uchiha Fugaku and said, "Are you the head of the Uchiha clan? You have no right to talk to me. I asked you to open the Mangekyo Uchiha and come over."

Hearing this, Fugaku clenched his fists.

The Fourth Raikage actually mentioned Shisui in front of him and thought he had no right to speak. When had Uchiha ever suffered such humiliation?

He really wanted to explode at this point and teach the Fourth Raikage a lesson.

But apart from Uchiha Shisui, no one in the family can be a match for the Fourth Raikage. If they take action at this time, it will only become a joke.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Fugaku glanced at Shisui beside him and said, "Shisui, you should fight for the interests of the village." Shisui nodded, walked to the Fourth Raikage and said, "Lord Raikage, I am Uchiha Shisui. What the clan leader said just now is right. The Cloud Ninja must withdraw from the Land of Hot Springs and must compensate Konoha for its losses."

The Fourth Raikage looked Shisui up and down, then said, "You are Shisui. We can talk about withdrawing the troops later. I have something to ask you."

Shisui had already guessed what the Fourth Raikage was going to say, but he nodded anyway and said, "Please go ahead, Raikage-sama. If Shisui knew, he would definitely answer."

The Fourth Raikage stared at Shisui and said, "Uchiha Shisui, where did Yubokuto go? The war is about to end, and Konoha should return the Jinchuriki."

"Well..." Shisui hesitated.

At this time, Jiraiya slowly said: "Sir, the Fourth Raikage, Konoha also wanted to return the Jinchūriki, but the Jinchūriki died with the Tailed Beast, leaving nothing behind."

"die?"

The Fourth Raikage's eyes were blazing with fire, and he angrily said, "How could Yukito die? How dare you, Konoha, kill a Jinchūriki?"

Jiraiya said disapprovingly: "The wood man has been wreaking havoc in the Land of Fire for so long, it is normal for him to be killed. If the Hidden Cloud Village wants to reclaim the Two-Tails, it should wait until the Two-Tails is resurrected."

The Fourth Raikage looked extremely unhappy, but he tried hard not to get angry and said, "Since Yukito is dead, for safety reasons, the Kumogakure cannot evacuate the Land of Hot Springs."

Hearing this, Jiraiya didn't know what to say.

He was good at leading troops in battle and stealth assassinations, but he knew nothing about diplomatic and political work.

With this in mind, Jiraiya searched the crowd, hoping to get Shikaku to negotiate on his behalf.

But after looking around, Jiraiya didn't see Shikaku, so he could only bite the bullet and argue with the Fourth Raikage about the issue of retreat.

After listening to the conversation for more than ten minutes, Yahiko seemed to remember something and said:
"Master Jiraiya, Master Raikage, I think that regarding the issue of the Land of Hot Springs, we should ask the leader of the Hidden Yu Village. Only he can decide the affairs of the Land of Hot Springs."

Upon hearing this, both Jiraiya and the Fourth Raikage were stunned.

When will Konoha and Kumogakure listen to the opinions of Yugakure Village? Konoha is an ally of Yugakure Village and naturally has the power to make decisions for Yugakure Village.

And Yugakure Village is not qualified to negotiate with Kumogakure Village.

Among all the ninja villages in the ninja world, only the five major ninja villages have equal status, and the rest of the small and medium-sized ninja villages have no say at all.

To be frank, he is a ninja at the level of the Sannin.

Can easily conquer a small country and establish a new village with the permission of the daimyo.

However, after looking at each other, Jiraiya and the Fourth Raikage both nodded and agreed to Yahiko's proposal. While the two sides were arguing, they could only listen to the ideas of the leader of Yugakure Village.

Normally, the leaders of the Yuyin Village are of little importance, but they must take the opinions of the Yuyin Village into consideration.

Although the Hidden Rain Village is only a small country, its military strength is always weaker than that of the five major ninja villages, and the Hidden Rain Village also has strong people like Byakuya, Yahiko, and Konan.

Its voice in the ninja world is already comparable to that of the five major ninja villages.

However, the leader of Yuyin Village is still in the territory of Yu Country, and it will take a long time for him to arrive, and it seems that the time has come to end for this negotiation.
