Became the mastermind behind the Akatsuki organization

Chapter 3 Xiaonan is a little curious
When Xiaonan found Bai Ye, Bai Ye was practicing physical skills.

Although the future of paper escape techniques is very bright, the foundation of all actual combat is built on physical skills. In actual combat, the effect of ninjutsu will be constantly weakened by various factors, but physical skills will not deceive people.

Even in the battles between the five Kage, most of the time they were fought using physical skills.

Of course, the most crucial reason is that Bai Ye discovered Xiaonan's existence in advance and deliberately restrained his practice of paper escape in front of the main character.

Whether copying secret techniques is a taboo in the Akatsuki organization is not discussed for now.

He didn't want to reveal the fact that he had mastered paper jutsu in front of Konan. After all, if both of them used the same technique, it would be embarrassing for the one who was worse.

Bai Ye stopped practicing and turned to look at the blue-haired girl leaning against a tree trunk.

At this time, Xiaonan was only fourteen years old. She was not the blue-haired aunt he remembered in his previous life. She was dressed in a ninja suit, which looked more immature than the red cloud suit with a black background and a red robe in his impression.

Xiaonan was also looking at Bai Ye. Bai Ye was a little younger than her, and his clothes were so clean that they seemed a little white.

There is a maturity in his eyes that does not belong to this age group, and he seems to have experienced a lot.

However, all members who join the Akatsuki organization have a past that they don't want to talk about, and she is the same, so she won't dig into it.

After the two looked at each other for a while, Bai Ye asked expressionlessly: "Senior Konan, did Yahiko have something to ask me, so I specially asked you to come here?"

Xiaonan nodded slightly, then shook her head:

"Yahiko didn't say anything, but there is something I need to trouble you with. There is a shortage of medicines in the organization, and I would like to invite you to go out and purchase supplies together."

"This should also be Yahiko's arrangement, right?"

"..."

Without waiting for Xiaonan's response, Bai Ye got the answer from the confusion on Xiaonan's face, then nodded and smiled: "I agree to go out shopping with you."

"I just like the look on Yahiko's face that shows he can't stand me but can't leave me."

"..."

Hearing this, Konan stood there for a few seconds and looked at Bai Ye in confusion. When did this strange relationship between Bai Ye and Yahiko form?

Why didn't she and Nagato know?

However, Konan did not ask much. She was not good at communicating with others. Except for Yahiko and Nagato, she only had a few words with others.

After cleaning up the training ground, Bai Ye and Konan left the Akatsuki base.

Walking on the path, Bai Ye learned the destination of this trip from Xiaonan and then opened the map.

Their goal is to reach a town on the border of the Rain Country, where there is an underground black market where they can trade important supplies such as weapons and medicines.

The only thing to note is that it is the junction of the Rain Kingdom and the Grass Kingdom, and it is very likely to be involved in a war.

After all, since neither Iwagakure nor Konoha was willing to offend the 'demigod' of the Hidden Rain Village, the Land of Grass became an important battlefield for the two major ninja villages to confront each other head-on.

From this perspective, Hanzo Salamander's contribution to the Hidden Rain Village is huge.

He successfully prevented the Rain Country from being drawn into the Third Ninja World War and maintained peace for a considerable period of time. Even within the Akatsuki organization today, Hanzo is highly regarded.

It’s a pity that after the failure of the Second Ninja World War, Hanzo lost his enterprising spirit.

Not only did he implement a policy of isolation towards the Rain Country, he even refused to step out of the gate of the Hidden Rain Village, causing large numbers of his ninjas to defect, and he became a major threat to the security of the Rain Country.

If not for this, the Akatsuki organization in the original time and space would not have risen in just a few years, causing Hanzo to feel threatened, and eventually, due to the collusion of internal (Hanzo) and external (Danzo) forces, almost all of their members were destroyed.

The only way to avoid this situation is to let Akatsuki feel the reality of the ninja world. There are many naive people in Akatsuki, but Xiaonan beside him is definitely among the best. He has to find a way to teach Xiaonan a lesson and get rid of the useless naivety in his mind.

It was already late at night when we arrived at the border.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Bai Ye and Konan each took off the forehead protectors from the Hidden Rain Village. This was also one of the important consequences of Hanzo lying down.

As the leader of the Hidden Rain Village, Hanzo has almost no control over the ninjas within the territory.

The Akatsuki organization with dozens of people was born right under their noses, and they implemented a policy of isolationism entirely relying on the remaining power of the demigod.

Hiding in the cave and making a fire to keep warm, the charcoal-grilled fish is very appetizing.

After being alone for most of the day, Konan finally understood why Yahiko still trusted Bai Ye so much despite their differences in ideas.

The reason is simple, Bai Ye is very reliable.

Whether it is site selection, road selection, or accommodation arrangement, everything is well organized.

The only shortcoming is that he is a little too suspicious. Even when facing ordinary people passing by, he is always on edge, as if he can enter combat mode at any time.

This made Xiaonan very curious.

What did Bai Ye experience before joining the Akatsuki organization that made him develop such a cautious character?

After eating the grilled fish and rice balls, Bai Ye looked at the gray sky outside the cave. He heard the sound of rain hitting fallen leaves in the dark forest, and his eyes became more solemn.

Noticing Bai Ye's gaze, Xiaonan also looked outside the cave and frowned.

Sharp arrows flew through the air and shot into the campfire, creating countless sparks. A team of wandering ninjas wearing raincoats walked into the cave and glanced at Bai Ye and Konan with ill intentions.

After seeing that Bai Ye and Xiao Nan were not wearing forehead protectors, the leading ninja raised a smile.

"Camping in the wild is not a good habit, especially in a war-torn border area. If you hand over your property obediently, we can consider letting you die more easily..."

Isn't it just robbery, but murder and looting?

Konan's face turned ugly. She was not afraid of these ninjas, but was angry at their behavior.

Bai Ye glanced at the wandering ninja, pretended to be scared, and retreated behind Konan.

During the day he was still thinking about how to teach Xiaonan a lesson, and the opportunity came in the evening.

He deliberately lit a bonfire in the dark in order to attract those who were interested to come closer, and this group of wandering ninjas were the fish that took the bait.

While Bai Ye was thinking, Xiaonan had already decided to take action.

Under the control of chakra, paper shurikens circled around Konan, and then flew towards the wandering ninja leader at an extremely fast speed, stopping a few centimeters in front of the opponent.

Xiaonan is unwilling to kill anyone unless it is absolutely necessary.

"Stop attacking, or I will kill you without hesitation!"

"You are ninjas!"

The wandering ninja leader noticed the ninjutsu performed by Xiaonan, and a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes. He then took out the kunai from his waist and shattered the nearby paper shuriken.
Just as he was about to form seals with his hands, a kunai pierced the heart of the wandering ninja leader.

Looking at the kunai that pierced his body, the wandering ninja leader showed an incredible look and fell forward.
