Became the mastermind behind the Akatsuki organization

Chapter 38 Going out
Hearing Bai Ye's suggestion, Yahiko nodded subconsciously.

Bai Ye has recently come to understand his thoughts more and more, knowing that he cannot develop the Akatsuki organization by secretly provoking a war, so he offered to acquire industries to resolve the development crisis of the Akatsuki organization.

But seeing Bai Ye's playful eyes, Yahiko began to doubt the rationality of this suggestion.

After careful consideration, Yahiko felt that Bai Ye was talking useless nonsense. Investing in profitable industries will naturally make money, but since they are already making money, others do not need to invest unless they are threatened with force.

This goes against the original intention of the Akatsuki organization and puts it in a vicious circle.

Bai Ye roughly guessed what Yahiko was thinking, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't let you use force to acquire the industry. I have some good ways to make money."

Bai Ye was not trying to fool Yahiko, but really thought of many ways to make money, which was to civilianize the ninja technology and thereby earn a lot of money.

The reason is very simple. The gap between military and civilian technology in the ninja world is too big.

When the Konoha laboratory began to clone the Wood Release Bloodline, the farmers in the countryside relied on manpower to grow crops. Even on important days such as spring ploughing and autumn harvest, they simply entrusted the work to ninjas.

This may be because low-level ninjas need to entrust missions to earn income, but it is more likely that the nobles want to restrict ninjas.

This restricted ninjas to mercenary jobs and prevented them from engaging in other industries, and indirectly maintained the ruling status of the daimyo and nobles.

But for Bai Ye, this rule does not have to be followed.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Bai Ye."

Yahiko didn't think so much about it, but he didn't doubt the authenticity of Byakuya's idea of ​​making money. After all, it was Byakuya who solved the last financial crisis of Akatsuki, so there would be no problem this time.

At this time, Bai Ye suddenly looked at Yahiko and asked, "Yahiko, before that, I have a question for you."

"If our industry is coveted by other ninjas and nobles, what will you do? Should you swallow your anger and hand it over to others, or fight back on your own?"

Hearing this, Yahiko fell into deep thought.

He knew that Bai Ye was not only talking about industry, but also referring to the Akatsuki organization.

After thinking for a long time, Yahiko slowly said: "Fight back. If we are forced to that point, the only thing left for us is to fight back. We can't deliberately fish for them."

"I have similar thoughts. It seems we have something in common in some aspects."

Bai Ye ignored the second half of the sentence. After his unremitting efforts, Yahiko finally got rid of some childish and naive ideas.

After all, as long as the Akatsuki organization develops, it is inevitable that there will be conflicts of interest with the Hidden Rain Village, and it is only a matter of time before a fierce conflict breaks out.

However, in his plan, the Akatsuki organization will sooner or later replace the Hidden Rain Village and become the true ruler of the Rain Country. Now it is just accumulating strength. When the time is right, he will take action against the Hidden Rain Village regardless of whether the Hidden Rain Village is hostile or not.

By that time, Yahiko's opinion no longer mattered.

Yahiko had no idea what Bai Ye was thinking.

He just felt a little sad. In front of Bai Ye, he, the leader of Akatsuki, was a little incompetent. He couldn't solve any major problems and could only stay in the office and handle official business day after day.

Yahiko felt that he was too incompetent, but Bai Ye didn't think so.

Although Yahiko's character is too naive, he has some good points, such as his good character and his patient and gentle work attitude.

As a leader, it is difficult for members of the organization to dislike such a person, and he can make the organization much more harmonious.

In addition to his mascot attributes, Yahiko can also control his temper and deal with trivial matters, wasting precious time on assigning tasks and comforting villagers. Bai Ye asked himself, he does not have the time for this.

As for letting other people in the organization serve as leaders?
If Konan trains for a few more years, he might be able to do it. Forget about Nagato, who is weak in character. Others are not capable and qualified to be the leader of Akatsuki. After all, ninjas are just a group of professional mercenaries who have not received many days of formal education.

Although Konan, Nagato and Yahiko are not good either, they have at least received instruction from the famous teacher Jiraiya, which makes them different from others.

More importantly, becoming a leader would make him the target of concentrated fire from all forces, which was not in line with his plan to make a fortune in silence.

After chatting for half an hour, Bai Ye left the Akatsuki office and received a task assigned by Yahiko, asking him to go out with Konan tomorrow to sell detonating tags and see if there was any place to invest.

Bai Ye did not refuse Yahiko, as he hadn't been out for a walk for a while.

They always stay in the base and have no practical experience. It would be funny if they end up like Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, who has an incredibly high skill level but cannot defeat the enemy.

……

The next morning.

After Bai Ye finished his warm-up exercises, he arrived at Xiaonan's house.

After ringing the doorbell for a while, Xiaonan finally opened the door and said sleepily, "It's Bai Ye, what are you doing here?"

Bai Ye looked at Xiaonan for a few times, and seeing the traces of dark circles under his eyes, he couldn't help but frowned: "Xiaonan, you stayed up late again? Didn't I tell you about the relationship between supply and demand?"

"I didn't stay up late, I just pulled an all-nighter."

Xiaonan tried to explain, rubbed his eyes, and then continued:

"Also, I have recently reduced the sale of detonating talismans. I have placed the extra detonating talismans in the warehouse for everyone to exchange, so that everyone can be safer when they go out on missions."

"Don't stay up late anymore. If your health breaks down, it will only cause more harm than good."

After hearing this, Bai Ye didn't know what to say anymore. Overtime work has basically become the norm within the Akatsuki organization. Before, they didn't even get paid for it. It was all done out of love.

Xiaonan's act of distributing detonating talismans can be regarded as a disguised way of promoting the development of the organization and working for them for free.

But he was a little worried that if this continued, Xiaonan would die suddenly.

At this time, Xiaonan seemed to remember something and asked, "By the way, you haven't told me why you want to see me? Does Yahiko want you to go out on a mission with me again?"

Bai Ye nodded: "It's similar to last time, but there is an additional mission of going out for investment. Show me the map of the towns in the Rain Country."

Xiaonan took out a map from the room and handed it to Bai Ye.

After getting the map from Xiaonan and finding the location of the black market, Bai Ye asked in confusion: "The map has not been updated, right? Wasn't the black market destroyed here?"

"It seems like a black market has been built in the same place."

Hearing this, Bai Ye felt helpless to complain.

Although he knew that the black market was definitely related to the local nobles, it was just wiped out two months ago. Wouldn't it be a bit inappropriate to reappear in the same place?

However, considering that the Rain Country is so small, there is no other place suitable for establishing a black market.

After noting down all the locations on the map, Bai Ye returned the map to Konan, and the two left the Akatsuki base together.

　I'm not in good condition, so I'll update it tomorrow.
