Became the mastermind behind the Akatsuki organization

Chapter 4: The Rain Country Has No Value

Pulling out the bloody kunai, Bai Ye quietly looked at the remaining wandering ninjas, his eyes locked on the ninja holding the bow and arrow, his eyes looked terrifying.

The archer ninja couldn't help swallowing and subconsciously took a few steps back.

After mustering up the courage to draw the bow and shoot the arrow, the arrow flew towards Bai Ye at a speed that was unpredictable to the naked eye. Before hitting Bai Ye, it was intercepted by a wall of water.

Then, a puddle of water the size of a house hit the wandering ninja.

Faced with the huge impact force, the wandering ninjas were scattered all over the place, and it was very difficult for them to even stand firm. In the subsequent shuriken attacks, they suffered heavy casualties.

Seeing their companions fall one by one, the morale of the wandering ninjas gradually collapsed and they began to flee.

In their eyes, the white night that keeps passing through the darkness is as strange as the god of death. Even if one hides in a corner, he will be found and killed.

After knocking down several stray ninjas in succession, Bai Ye stopped attacking and allowed the remaining ninjas to escape.

On the other side, Xiaonan also captured a few stray ninjas and was walking towards Bai Ye's position. He asked with some doubt: "You let those stray ninjas go. With your personality, shouldn't you cut off the roots?"

Bai Ye nodded slightly, and then said meaningfully: "I let them go on purpose. They are not ordinary wandering ninjas. There must be someone behind them."

In the ninja world, wandering ninjas are either rebel ninjas or ninjas from small villages who have lost their villages.

Among them, there is a more special kind of wandering ninja, that is, ordinary people who have learned to refine chakra. This kind of wandering ninja can only use chakra to strengthen the body and weapons, and has not mastered anything else.

Most of the wandering ninjas they had dealt with just now were of this type.

He hasn't even learned the basic Three Body Techniques or how to walk on water and climb trees, so he can only bully ordinary people. Strictly speaking, he is not even as good as a Genin who graduated from the Ninja School.

And this is exactly what is strange, compared to this group of wandering ninjas.

The ninja leader is a little too powerful, at least at the level of a Chunin, and has the ability to make decisions without hesitation when facing a strong enemy. This is not something a wandering ninja can do. He is more like a ninja trained by a large ninja village.

"Bai Ye, are you too suspicious..."

Konan fell silent halfway through his words. From the time they set out until now, Bai Ye's judgment had never been wrong, and even Yahiko had almost unreserved trust in Bai Ye.

After hesitating for a moment, Xiaonan asked, "What should we do next?"

"Deal with the bodies of these wandering ninjas, then follow up with the fleeing wandering ninjas and find out the ninjas behind them... and let you see the truth of the ninja world."

Bai Ye did not say the second half of the sentence aloud, but kept it in his heart.

Konan nodded slightly, and then dealt with the bodies of these wandering ninjas according to Bai Ye's request, mainly destroying their brains to avoid obtaining information about the two from their brains.

Bai Ye's professional and meticulous handling made Xiaonan even more confused.

Where did this boy, who is younger than me, get all this experience? Are there really born ninjas?

Feeling Xiaonan's gaze towards him, Bai Ye smiled in his heart.

Then he took the initiative to walk to the front, sensing the chakra of the wandering ninjas while jumping and running on the trees. He also wanted to know which force was behind this group of wandering ninjas active in the border area.

Although Xiaonan had doubts in his heart, he still followed Bai Ye's steps. He chased the stray ninja all the way until the sky turned pale. Bai Ye and the others stopped and stood on a huge tree, using a telescope to observe the stray ninja's situation.

I saw the wandering ninja walk into a stronghold, and then more than a dozen ninjas wearing Kusagakure forehead protectors walked out.

After looking around, a dozen ninjas wearing Kusagakure forehead protectors returned to the base.

"It turns out that the Kusagakure Ninja is behind this group of wandering ninjas!"

Konan's body trembled slightly, her eyes filled with shock. It turned out that some of the wandering ninjas active in the Land of Rain were secretly controlled by the Kusagakure Village.

“Things are not that simple…what you see with your eyes may not be true.

Bai Ye looked extremely solemn. He squatted on the tree trunk and began to carefully recall what had happened.

A ninja wearing the Kusagakure forehead protector is not necessarily a ninja from the Kusagakure Village. The reason is very simple. The Kusagakure Village, which has become the battlefield between the two major ninja villages, does not have much energy to provoke the Rain Country where Hanzo is in charge.

Unless they want to drag the Rain Kingdom into the war and completely muddy the water.

But doing so would be extremely risky. There was no need for the Kusagakure Village to allow its territory to become a battlefield. Moreover, the technique performed by the wandering ninja above his head was obviously related to earth escape.

Compared with the Kusagakure Village, the Iwagakure Village has enough reasons to stir up trouble on this battlefield.

Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that Konoha is behind this. After all, Konoha's Dark Danzo is not a ninja who keeps to himself.

If you want to know the specific information, perhaps you can only rush into this stronghold and capture the ninja inside to understand the specific situation.

However, the reconnaissance can end here and there is no need to move forward.

The risk of rashly attacking this unfamiliar stronghold is too great. They have no need and no reason to figure out who is behind this group of ninjas!

As long as Hanzo of the Salamander is in charge, no ninja village is willing to provoke the poor and tough country of the Rain Country.

Even if one risks losing most of the national strength to attack the Rain Country, the cost of ruling will drag down any major country in the ninja world, even the currently prosperous Konoha is no exception.

He brought Xiaonan here, not only for the purpose of robbing his fellow thieves, but more importantly, to let Xiaonan experience the reality of the ninja world.

Too many naive ninjas were born in the extremely harsh environment of the Rain Country. Coupled with Hanzo's protection, many ninjas forgot that the only reason they were not attacked was because they were not valuable enough.

"That's it. Let's go along the border and buy supplies."

Bai Ye waved to Xiao Nan and was about to jump down from the tree to leave this place of conflict when Xiao Nan, holding the telescope, whispered:
"Bai Ye, that ninja base has been attacked, and many ninjas are heading towards us!"

Bai Ye frowned and used the perception ability of the Uzumaki bloodline to perceive that several ninjas were heading towards them. Judging from their movement speed, their strength was at least that of a Chunin.

Just half a second later, Bai Ye took out a can of special oil from his bag and said to Xiao Nan in doubt:
"Morning dew can easily wet white paper, but oil paper will not get wet easily. Be prepared to fight at any time when escaping. Our enemies are the elite among ninjas!"

Xiaonan didn't hesitate, he took the grease and entered combat mode.

But she was still a little confused. How did Bai Ye know that Paper Escape would be restrained by water? It was not until last night that she discovered the weakness of Paper Escape. Could it be that Bai Ye discovered it at that time?
