Became the mastermind behind the Akatsuki organization

Chapter 21 Reward and Punishment System
"Do you know how to change that? How to achieve peace in the Rain Country?"

After saying this, even Yahiko himself was stunned.

If it were a month ago, Yahiko would selectively listen to Bai Ye's opinions. After all, the frivolous Bai Ye would always say some thought-provoking words besides jokes.

But over the past month, Akatsuki has experienced a series of difficulties including weapons and medicine shortages.

After seeing the fatigue on his companions' faces, he began to understand Bai Ye's words. Even he could feel confused occasionally. Others might have already begun to doubt the philosophy of Akatsuki.

This was also the reason why he proposed to abdicate the position of leader to Nagato not long ago.

After hearing Yahiko's sincere doubts, Bai Ye shook his head gently: "It is impossible for the Akatsuki organization to achieve peace in the Hidden Rain Village in a short period of time. Even if we have the strength of Hanzo-sama, it will take several years or even longer to achieve it."

"However, there is one thing we can do, and that is to normalize the organization!"

“Normalize the organization?”

Yahiko looked puzzled, not quite understanding what Bai Ye meant.

As an orphan, he only received three years of instruction from Teacher Jiraiya and had never received any other education. The philosophy he adhered to was also a combination of some of Jiraiya's words and deeds as well as what he saw and heard over the years.

Seeing Yahiko asking for advice, Bai Ye felt helpless.

The Yahiko who had been with him for a year was much more mature than the Yahiko in the original timeline, but he was still very childish in some aspects, even inferior to Konan and Nagato more than ten years later.

During that period, Xiaonan managed the Rain Kingdom in an orderly manner.

Although life was still very poor, at least they were not disturbed by war.

After thinking about this, Bai Ye said concisely:
"It means managing the Akatsuki organization like a ninja village, distinguishing between superiors and subordinates, and establishing a reasonable reward and punishment system, so that members of the organization can gain other benefits besides their dreams."

Yahiko thought seriously for a while, then said, "So, you plan to use the ninjutsu scrolls you stole from Kusagakure Village to build this reward and punishment system? Why not just share it with them?"

"Yahiko, if you want Akatsuki to only have a few dozen people forever, you can do that."

Bai Ye looked at Yahiko and spoke earnestly.

Because of the system, he also thought about sharing all these ninjutsu scrolls with the members who joined the Akatsuki organization, and then receiving feedback from the system.

It can be said that within the entire Akatsuki organization, no one wants the overall strength of the organization to improve more than him.

However, the system of completely sharing ninjutsu is only suitable for core groups of three to five people.

Once an organization has too many people, free sharing will be detrimental to the development of the organization and the virtuous cycle within the organization.

If the Akatsuki organization was not defeated by outsiders but disintegrated from within, it would be a loss.

Yahiko was stunned. He wanted to share for free, but after hearing the consequences mentioned by Bai Ye, he fell silent.

After hesitating for a while, Yahiko decided to ask clearly: "Then how should we set up rewards and punishments? If we make these changes rashly, will they think that the Akatsuki organization is exactly the same as the Ninja Village?"

Bai Ye showed a helpless expression: "Lord Yahiko, you are the leader of Akatsuki. It doesn't matter whether it's based on the number of completed missions or the difficulty. Just set up a suitable points system."

"Before Akatsuki develops to a certain level, we can't be the same as other villages, and we can't give up absorbing their advantages just because the ninja village did something wrong in some aspects."

Hearing the last sentence, Yahiko burst out laughing. He was confused for a moment. After a pause, Yahiko looked at Bai Ye and said with a smile: "Bai Ye, you obviously know so much, why didn't you tell me earlier? Besides, we can talk calmly in many cases, there is no need to argue."

"With your help, we can create a world where people can trust each other."

Bai Ye snorted coldly and said disapprovingly: "I don't believe such a world exists. This is why there are differences between us. No matter how bright the world is, there will always be darkness that the sun cannot shine."

Then, Bai Ye put down the storage scroll containing the ninjutsu scroll, turned around and left the office.

Looking at Bai Ye who was leaving, Yahiko said silently in his heart: "I believe that this world exists in your heart, otherwise you wouldn't tell me this."

After Bai Ye left the office, he met Nagato and others who were waiting not far away.

After scanning Nagato and Konan, his eyes finally landed on Karin and he said slowly: "Karin, you should accept Yahiko's arrangement and stay in the base for the time being. With your strength, you are not suitable for going out on missions."

After saying that, Bai Ye’s back disappeared from the sight of several people.

"..."

Facing Bai Ye who left the office angrily and disappeared into the base, Huali asked in confusion:
"What's wrong with Lord Bai Ye? Wasn't he arguing with Lord Yahiko just now? Why is he asking me to accept Lord Yahiko's arrangements now?"

"Because they didn't quarrel at all..."

Konan said expressionlessly that after spending half a month with Byakuya, she finally fully understood the relationship between Yahiko and Byakuya.

Nagato nodded in agreement.

After complaining, the three of them returned to the office.

Compared to a few minutes ago, Yahiko looked much better. He took out a blank plan and said seriously:

"After discussions between Bai Ye and I, we plan to make some changes within the organization."

"Based on the ninjutsu scroll, establish a task system with clear rewards and punishments. If you have any suggestions, you can always tell me."

"..."

A black line appeared on Huali's forehead. What Nagato and Konan said were right.

Yahiko and Byakuya didn't really have an argument, but were instead seriously thinking about the future of the organization, but this discussion of the situation was completely different from what she had imagined.

However, he didn't hate this atmosphere.

When Yahiko led Nagato, Konan and Karin to formulate a reward and punishment system, Byakuya's paper clone was also observing in the dark. After seeing the happy scene in the office, he nodded with satisfaction.

It's not just because Yahiko listened to his advice, there are other more important reasons.

After this field operation, bringing back a large amount of supplies and proposing suggestions for reforming the Akatsuki organization, Bai Ye has made initial changes to his personality and status.

A member of Akatsuki who has a different philosophy from Yahiko.

He became a member of Akatsuki who understood Yahiko's approach, but was disappointed with reality and heartbroken about the current situation of Akatsuki.
