Became the mastermind behind the Akatsuki organization

Chapter 420: The Reincarnated Ninja

"Game? Bet?"

Uchiha Madara seemed to have heard something funny and laughed a few times. Then he stared at Bai Ye and his expression gradually became serious:

"What are your games and bets? Tell me about them."

Bai Ye said calmly: "My bet is very simple. I bet that even if you complete the Infinite Tsukuyomi, you will not be able to realize your deepest wish. And I am very curious, why Shura, who once dominated the ninja world, would believe in the illusory Moon Eye Project."

Bai Ye's words did not have much effect on Uchiha Madara.

The Allied Ninja Forces and Obito and others only regarded these words as normal psychological tests, which is a common means of attacking the mind when ninjas fight, and can effectively affect the strength that the opponent can exert.

But to Black Zetsu's ears, these words had a completely different meaning.

As the initiator of the Moon Eye Project, Black Zetsu knew clearly that the Infinite Tsukuyomi was a ninjutsu to resurrect his mother, and it could never achieve the effect of making everyone happy as intended by Uchiha Madara.

Does Bai Ye really know something?

After thinking about it, Black Zetsu put aside his worries.

It almost forgot that when it first came into contact with Byakuya, it said that the Infinite Tsukuyomi was just a scam, and that Byakuya had never wanted to activate the Infinite Tsukuyomi, but wanted to use the power of the Ten-Tails to complete the unification of the ninja world.

Bai Ye had disguised himself so well over the years that it almost forgot the original agreement with Bai Ye.

After listening to Bai Ye's words, Uchiha Madara said disapprovingly:
"Are you questioning the Moon Eye Project? Even if there are false parts in the Moon Eye Project, what does it have to do with you? I, Uchiha Madara, do not need to explain my actions to others."

"Instead of chattering here, why don't you think about how to defeat me?"

Seeing that Uchiha Madara refused to listen to his advice, Bai Ye sighed softly and said:
"Since Senior Uchiha Madara refuses to listen to my advice, the coalition forces can only compete with you. However, we have too many ninjas under our command. Once they are all consumed in the war, it will be a big loss for the entire ninja world."

"What are you going to do?" Uchiha Madara looked at Bai Ye with interest.

Bai Ye cleared his throat and continued:

"I wonder if Uchiha Madara-senpai has heard of the Chunin Exam? I plan to hold a competition here, with each side sending ninjas to compete in a ring match."

"Which side's ninja can become the final victor will win."

"If the coalition loses, I will obediently send all the Jinchuriki here. If Uchiha Madara-senpai loses, please return to the Pure Land and stop paying attention to the affairs of the ninja world."

"In this way, we can avoid the ninja world from falling into serious internal friction and achieve our goals."

Bai Ye's words immediately caused an uproar in the wilderness. From the masked men of the Five Kage to ordinary Chunins, everyone started a heated discussion.

When the Fourth Raikage heard this, he angrily said, "What on earth is Bai Ye doing? This is the Ninja World War, not the Chunin Exam. It's too much to ask us to compete on the stage like examinees."

"And if we fail, we will have to hand over Killer Bee and Naruto and the others!"

Ohnoki also frowned, thought for a moment, and explained: "Raikage, don't be too impulsive. Don't you realize that Bai Ye is stalling for time and waiting for his real body to return?"

"And if we really fight, I don't know how many people will die."

After listening to Ōnoki's explanation, the Fourth Raikage's expression gradually eased a lot, but he was still a little indignant. As the Fourth Raikage, he had never encountered such humiliation before.

Tsunade also came over to persuade:

"Raikage, you still don't know enough about Bai Ye. Even if we really lose to the opponent, Bai Ye will never hand over Naruto and the others. With Bai Ye's ruthlessness, he will definitely deal with Killer Bee and Naruto himself..."

Tsunade's persuasion seemed to have no effect, and the Fourth Raikage's expression became even uglier.

However, the Fourth Raikage also knows his identity. It is true that he is Killer Bee's brother, but he is also the Raikage of the Hidden Cloud Village, and he must live up to the position of Raikage.

In the crowd, after hearing Bai Ye's words, Might Guy looked at Kakashi:

"Kakashi, will you participate in the competition later? I think Lord Bai Ye's method is very good and can minimize the casualties of the coalition forces."

Kakashi frowned and stared at Bai Ye and the masked man.

It would be best if the Ninja World War could be resolved peacefully, but he knew that there were many connections between Byakuya and Uchiha Madara.

If this game really starts, the previous Ninja Wars will become a joke.

What exactly do Byakuya and Uchiha Madara regard war as, a game that they can play at will, with human lives and the future of the ninja world at stake?

What role did Obito play in this?
Thinking of this, Kakashi looked in the direction of the masked man, and his gaze seemed to solidify and fall on him.

Might Guy followed Kakashi's line of sight and also landed on the masked man, and asked in confusion: "Kakashi, do you know the true identity of the masked man? I feel like you seem to know him."

Kakashi was silent for a few seconds and nodded:
"I have some guesses about the identity of the masked man, but that man is already dead, and I can't find any reason why he became the masked man."

Might Guy scratched his head. He didn't quite understand what Kakashi said, but he didn't ask too much.

He and Kakashi are eternal friends and rivals. The reason why Kakashi doesn't tell him the true identity of the masked man may be that the time is not right yet. All he needs to do is stand firmly by Kakashi's side.

As if feeling the gazes of Kakashi and Might Guy, Obito looked in their direction, glanced at them, then pretended nothing had happened and looked away, his heart beginning to panic.

I wonder if Kakashi and Might Guy have noticed anything.

He felt relieved when thinking about it. His other Kamui Eye was still on Kakashi. At this close distance, the Mangekyō Sharingan would inevitably produce a response.

As for Might Guy, he's just a hot-blooded idiot and is nothing to be afraid of.

Thinking of this, Obito looked at Byakuya and Uchiha Madara not far away. These were the people he needed to pay attention to.

Uchiha Madara is his nominal superior, and they both want to realize the Moon Eye Project.

But ever since Bai Ye and Uchiha Madara came into contact, the two had discussed many things behind his back. The absurd decision to hold a tournament during the Ninja World War in imitation of the Chunin Exam was most likely something they had discussed in advance.

Isn't it just to divert the attention of the five major ninja villages and secretly revive the Ten-Tails? Is it necessary to go through so much trouble?

While the masked man was observing Byakuya and Uchiha Madara, Uchiha Itachi was also silently observing the masked man. After all these years of getting along with each other, he had some vague guesses about the masked man's identity.

Previously, he suspected that the masked man was Uchiha Madara, but the real Uchiha Madara appeared in front of him and told him the Moon Eye Plan engraved on the stone tablet. As long as he could revive the Ten Tails, he could use the power of the Ten Tails and use the moon as a medium to project the Infinite Moon Reading Technique to the entire ninja world, and everyone would spend their lives in a beautiful dream.

Uchiha Itachi naturally scoffed at Uchiha Madara's statement.

His eye technique Tsukuyomi can achieve the effect of infinite Tsukuyomi, allowing ordinary ninjas to spend their entire lives in an illusion, but this illusion is meaningless.

If the ninja world sinks into the beautiful illusion, its development will come to a standstill.

This is no different from killing everyone in the ninja world to stop the war, the only difference is that one is an instant kill and the other is a slow death.

However, although he did not agree with Uchiha Madara's ideas, he did not flee immediately.

Instead, he stayed by Uchiha Madara and the masked man's side, collecting as much information as possible about the two, and at the critical moment, he dealt a heavy blow to Uchiha Madara and the masked man.

Unfortunately, with the passage of time and the improvement of intelligence.

He increasingly felt that the masked men's organization was a difficult opponent to defeat. His Ten-fisted Sword might be able to seal Uchiha Madara in the Impure World State, but it would definitely not be able to deal with other enemies.

Moreover, he vaguely felt that there was a more terrifying mastermind hiding behind Uchiha Madara.

In this situation, he could only continue to lie dormant.

After discussing for a while, everyone's attention was focused on Byakuya and Uchiha Madara again. Only Uchiha Madara could decide to change the war into a competition.

Under everyone's attention, Uchiha Madara raised a smile and said loudly:

"You are very bold to decide the ownership of Jinchūriki by means of a competition, but I do not dislike such a decision. Let these ninjas who call themselves the Five Kage please us to their heart's content."

From Uchiha Madara's words, he seemed to have never regarded ninjas other than Byakuya as opponents.

However, even knowing this, the allied ninjas dared not speak out, for they knew that Uchiha Madara truly had the qualifications to look down on everything.

If Bai Ye also reaches this level, this Ninja World War will be a one-sided crushing victory.

At this time, Uchiha Madara seemed to remember something and said to Bai Ye: "Since it is a competition, there must be a competition venue. Let the two of us build the competition venue."

After saying that, Uchiha Madara flew into the sky and projected Susanoo in mid-air.

Unlike the previous times, the Susanoo projected by Uchiha Madara this time was hundreds of meters tall. Then Susanoo drew out its sword and slashed fiercely at the mountains in the distance.

In an instant, a crescent-shaped sword energy condensed into shape and instantly cut the mountains in half.

When the top of the mountain fell to the ground with a loud bang, sweeping up endless dust, the mountain, as smooth as a mirror, became a natural arena.

This scene was seen by the five Kage and all the ninjas present.

For them, Uchiha Madara's method of creating the arena was simply ingenious, and they finally understood why the ninja world was in a state of peace when Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama were still active.

Fighting against such an enemy, they have no chance of winning at all.

Even if Uchiha Madara was accidentally injured, it would be just a mayfly trying to shake a tree. As long as Uchiha Madara wanted, he could launch a massacre on the Allied Ninja Forces at any time.

"The arena is too high. How can we do it without a bridge?"

Bai Ye's figure flashed and he instantly arrived in the mountains. He then used wood escape to create bridges connecting the mountains with huge vines, and built stands and houses for rest on top.

Bai Ye's move restored a lot of the morale of the ninja coalition.

Obito's mood was a little complicated. He previously thought that he was no match for Byakuya's real body, but now the only one left here was a wooden clone of Byakuya, and he felt that he couldn't even defeat the wooden clone.

How should I take action against Bai Ye next?

Obito fell into deep thought, it seemed like he would never find this opportunity again.

……

After the competition venue was built, it was time to register for the competition. Elite jonin from each village announced their participation in the competition, and the registration counter was soon crowded.

Seeing this scene, the five Kage all smiled with confidence of victory.

Judging from the number of participants, the coalition forces undoubtedly have the advantage. Ninjas who can reach the elite jonin level in the ninja world are considered the backbone of the five major ninja villages.

Unless they were ostracized by the Five Kage, how many elite jonin would defect?

Even if some expert really appeared on Uchiha Madara's side, the coalition forces would be able to delay enough time to wait for the return of Byakuya and the Jinchūriki.

However, these are the worst-case scenarios, and the coalition forces simply cannot lose.

Seeing that their side was outnumbered, Uchiha Itachi and Kisame came to Obito and asked:
"Masked man, we are at a disadvantage in terms of numbers. Are we really going to lose to the ninja alliance?"

Obito did not answer the two immediately, deliberately keeping them in suspense: "Humph, with our strength, we can easily win this game, don't you two have confidence in yourselves?"

Uchiha Itachi fell silent, he was considering whether to launch a sneak attack on the masked man.

The masked man possesses the ability of time and space, and is apparently a ninja who is performing the Impure World Reincarnation Technique. As long as he can control Obito and cancel the Impure World Reincarnation Technique, this Ninja World War will end immediately.

The only problem is, he only has one chance to make the move.

Just when Uchiha Itachi was hesitant, Obito smiled and said, "Don't worry, we have much more manpower than the coalition forces. Do you think the organization has only been collecting tailed beasts over the years?"

"What does this mean?" Uchiha Itachi felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart.

Obito did not explain too much to Uchiha Itachi. He glanced at Black Zetsu and signaled him to use all the trump cards he had prepared in advance.

Soon, as Black Zetsu walked to the center of White Zetsu's army, he formed seals with his hands.

Many White Zetsu directly cancelled their transformation techniques and changed their appearance as ninjas. These people were actually elite Jonin from the five major ninja villages who died on the battlefield in the past few decades.

When seeing this group of reincarnated ninjas, all the ninjas on the coalition side were shocked.
