Became the mastermind behind the Akatsuki organization

Chapter 432 Internal strife
After hearing this, Yahiko and Konan made up their minds and started to attack Bai Ye.

However, Yahiko and Konan were no match for Bai Ye. After just over ten seconds, the two were nailed to the ground by wooden spikes and lost their ability to fight.

There is no need to say much about Yahiko, as he has the weakest talent among the top leaders of Akatsuki.

Being busy with government affairs in recent years, Yahiko had no time to practice, and his strength had always been maintained at the level of a jonin, and it was very difficult for him to even enter the ranks of elite jonin.

Although Konan has the strength of a Kage, paper escape is useless against Bai Ye.

Although the detonating tag coated with special paint could repel water, it still had a weakness to fire escape, and Bai Ye seized the opportunity to defeat it directly.

After taking a cold look at Yahiko and Konan who were lying on the ground, Bai Ye turned and walked towards the Outer Path Golem.

Obito glanced at Yahiko and Konan in the distance, then looked at Bai Ye, and said, "Bai Ye, I didn't expect you to actually attack them, just to gain the power to shock the ninja world, is it worth it?"

Bai Ye glanced at Obito and said lightly:
"What about you? You gave up everything in the past just to realize the Moon Eye Project. How much better are you than me?"

Obito remained silent and did not answer, but Uchiha Madara showed an approving look to Byakuya. He could understand Byakuya's feelings and had also experienced misunderstanding and betrayal from close friends.

On the side of the allied jonin, the morale of the Five Kage and the top leaders of Amegakure was at its lowest after their successive defeats.

Many of them wanted to rush forward directly, but were stopped by the ninjas who still had some rationality. Even the Kages were defeated. Even if they rushed forward, they would just be seeking their deaths, which would be meaningless.

Seeing that the allied jonin didn't dare to step forward, Bai Ye raised a smile and said to Uchiha Madara and the masked man:

"The ninja alliance has lost its combat effectiveness. When will we start to revive the Ten-Tails?"

Although Byakuya and Nagato have sealed the nine tailed beasts, they do not know how to resurrect the ten tails. These secret techniques are in the hands of Uchiha Madara and Obito.

Uchiha Madara said calmly:
"The technique to revive the Ten-Tails is very powerful. I only need to tell you and you will know what to do. However, the most urgent task is to take the Rinnegan off Nagato."

Bai Ye frowned, then said, "Nagato can't perform this technique? I don't think it's necessary to take off Nagato's Samsara Eye. He is the only one in the ninja world who can bear the consumption of the Samsara Eye."

Uchiha Madara glanced at Bai Ye and said, "Of course you can manipulate Nagato to revive the Ten-Tails, but the power of the Ten-Tails is very terrifying. If Nagato escapes your control, the consequences will be disastrous."

"All of us together are no match for the Rinnegan and the Ten-Tails."

Bai Ye thought for a moment, then said:
"You can take off the Rinnegan, but I must be the ninja to transplant it. You must first tell me the technique to revive the Ten-Tails, and I will control the resurrected Ten-Tails."

Hearing this, Uchiha Madara and Obito narrowed their eyes slightly and fell into deep thought.

For them, the Allied Ninja Forces have never been a formidable enemy. Whether they were launching a sneak attack on the Jinchūriki or directly attacking the Ninja Village, they were able to collect the nine tailed beasts.

The biggest problem is how to distribute the ten tails after collecting the nine tailed beasts.

Byakuya's goal is to obtain the power of the Ten-Tails, while Uchiha Madara and the masked man want to activate the Infinite Tsukuyomi. The two sides have natural and irreconcilable differences in interests.

In the past, with the Ninja Alliance as their enemy, both sides could temporarily put aside their conflicts.

By now, he has completely regarded the other party as his enemy. He has not taken any action yet, but is just looking for the right opportunity to deal with the other party cleanly and neatly.

Soon, the confrontation between Byakuya and Uchiha Madara attracted the attention of the Allied Ninjas.

While they were healing the wounded ninja, they were also observing the movements above the Outer Path Demon Statue. Noticing that the atmosphere between the two sides was a little off, they began to mutter to themselves.

"Look, Byakuya and Uchiha Madara seem to be fighting among themselves."

"So what if they're fighting among themselves? They know we have no ability to resist, so they started fighting among themselves. When they decide the winner, they'll attack us."

"Then can we take advantage of their civil war to attack them?"

"Forget it. Lady Tsunade and the others haven't woken up yet. Let's wait until they wake up. We are no longer qualified to participate in this war."

The last whisper resonated with the jonin present.

When they were in the village, they were big shots in the eyes of the Chunin and Genin, but here, they were just insignificant little people and could die here if they were not careful.

In addition to the Allied Ninjas, another group of Ninjas were also observing the situation here.

These people were none other than the Konoha team led by the First and Second Hokage. When they arrived here, Yahiko and Konan had already been defeated.

However, they did not act rashly, but lay in wait for their opportunity.

After seeing Byakuya and Uchiha Madara confronting each other, the Third Hokage said: "Teacher Tobirama, this is a good opportunity. We can first meet up with Tsunade and the others, and then take action against Byakuya and Uchiha Madara."

The Second Hokage looked at the Third Hokage and sighed softly in his heart:

"Monkey, if we go out now, we will only become the common enemy of Byakuya and Uchiha Madara. Let's wait until they start fighting. This may be our only chance."

"Aren't you right, brother?"

Hearing the Second Hokage calling him, the First Hokage was stunned for a moment, then said:

"What Tobirama said makes sense. You should just listen to him. However, I would like to say hello to Madara and try to convince them. I think they are still very reasonable."

Faced with the naivety of the First Hokage, everyone was speechless and simply ignored the First Hokage's opinions.

The first Hokage was very powerful, but forget about giving advice. We still have to look to the second Hokage for that, at least he was gloomy enough.

After a few minutes of confrontation, Obito sighed softly and said to Bai Ye:

"I'm sorry, Byakuya, neither the Rinnegan nor the Ten-Tails can be handed over to you. Our cooperation has come to an end. And I might as well tell you that the Rinnegan has never belonged to Nagato."

Bai Ye ignored Obito and asked Uchiha Madara:

"Uchiha Madara, do his words represent your opinion? Are you really going to be my enemy? Nagato and the Samsara Eye are in my hands now?"

Uchiha Madara said without changing his expression:
"If your goal is Infinite Tsukuyomi, it doesn't matter if you control the Ten-Tails, but your goal has never been Infinite Tsukuyomi, right? You want to control the Ten-Tails and become the second Sage of Six Paths."

"Let the entire ninja world submit to you."

"Why not? Maintaining peace in the ninja world for decades like the first Hokage did is already the best option. And after getting the Ten-Tails, I might be able to live for hundreds of years and keep peace in the ninja world for hundreds of years."

Uchiha Madara shook his head: "That was not true peace. Hashirama did bring decades of peace to the ninja world, but after his death, the First Ninja World War broke out."

"The scale of the Ninja World War surpassed the war between families. Countless families that lasted for thousands of years during the Warring States Period were destroyed in the Ninja World War, including the Senju and the Uzumaki." "Even if you can really rely on the Ten-Tails to suppress the Ninja World, after you die, the Ninja World will erupt in a war that exceeds the Ninja Village era. Only the Infinite Tsukuyomi can avoid this and achieve eternal peace."

"After all, you just want to snatch control of the Ten-Tails from me."

Bai Ye snorted, and then said: "I have long wanted to fight with you to see who is stronger, the Shura of the old ninja world or me?"

Before he finished speaking, an extremely strong chakra wave burst out from Bai Ye's body and pounced towards Uchiha Madara.

When approaching Uchiha Madara, Obito blocked Bai Ye's way and said slowly: "Bai Ye, your opponent is me, and the winner between us has not been decided yet?"

Bai Ye looked at him with disdain and sneered, "How dare you, a defeated general like you, attack me?"

Obito took a step forward and grabbed Byakuya's footsteps, taking Byakuya to the Kamui Space. Feeling the traction in the void, Byakuya did not resist, but directly entered the Kamui Space.

And at the moment Bai Ye disappeared, Uchiha Madara also moved, and his target was Nagato.

In the Kamui Space, Bai Ye stared at Obito and said, "Obito, do you want to use the Kamui Space to control me, and then let Uchiha Madara deal with Nagato? Get Nagato's Samsara Eye?"

"Have you ever thought that Uchiha Madara might be able to get the Samsara Eye, but you will definitely die..."

After a pause, Bai Ye continued:

"I remember that the Kamui space and the Ninja Realm are synchronized. When you use the Hollow Transformation in the outside world, I can still attack you in Kamui. Are you sure you can take my attack?"

Obito's face changed slightly. He didn't expect that his abilities had been studied so thoroughly by Bai Ye.

However, he was not completely unprepared. Bai Ye was an opponent he must defeat, so he went to various major ninja villages to dig graves in order to prepare an Impure World Army to deal with Bai Ye.

After clapping his hands, a group of reincarnated ninjas appeared in front of Bai Ye.

Judging from the chakra aura of these reincarnated ninjas, they were at least elite jonin-level ninjas when they were alive. Yet now they have gathered here to become Obito's pawns in getting rid of Byakuya.

Seeing this group of dozens of dirty earth soldiers, Bai Ye frowned, his eyes more serious than ever before.

Obito was very satisfied with Byakuya's expression. After giving the order to the Impure World Ninjas to attack, he used Kamui to return to the real world.

As soon as Obito returned to the real world, he was hit by the Shinra Tensei.

Nagato, who was stunned like a puppet, was fighting with Uchiha Madara. When he saw Obito, he asked, "Masked man, what did you do to Byakuya?"

Obito was stunned at first, then seemed to have thought of something, and said to Nagato: "Bai Ye, he will probably die, but don't worry about Bai Ye yet, worry about yourself first."

As soon as these words were spoken, the repulsive force of Shinra Tensei struck again. The huge impact force caused the Outer Path Demon Statue to retreat several steps, and Obito was directly knocked back hundreds of meters.

After barely stabilizing himself, Obito said to Uchiha Madara: "Madara, why don't you take action to kill Nagato? If you delay any longer, we won't be able to get the Samsara Eye."

"Are you ordering me?"

Uchiha Madara was upset with Obito, but endured it and attacked Nagato.

After he actually fought with Nagato, Uchiha Madara instantly felt how powerful Nagato was. Compared with the Nagato of the original time and space, the Nagato who was taught by Byakuya also had the Six Paths of Pain.

But the Six Paths of Pain are just puppets used to conceal their identities, and Nagato's real combat power is stronger.

With the help of the Senju and Uzumaki bloodlines, Nagato was able to confront Uchiha Madara head-on in terms of physical skills, and if he activated the Gaiden Demon Statue, he might also be able to wrestle with Susanoo.

As for ninjutsu and illusion techniques, neither Uchiha Madara nor Nagato had any intention of using them.

They all possess the Rinnegan. In the face of the Rinnegan's ability to absorb ninjutsu, any ninjutsu is ineffective and the battle suddenly becomes plain and simple.

Obito tried to intervene in the fight between the two, but found that he had no chance.

His hard power is at most at the Kage level, and he usually relies entirely on Kamui to fight. Right now, Bai Ye is fighting against the Impure World Force in the Kamui space, and he doesn't dare to use Kamui-related abilities at all.

At this time, he finally understood why Bai Ye did not resist entering the Divine Power Space.

When he used the Kamui Space to exile Bai Ye, he also lost his last way of retreat. Now he can only pin his hopes on the group of Impure World Ninjas, hoping that they can deal with Bai Ye.

……

At this time, Tsunade and other high-ranking members of the coalition forces woke up from their coma.

After waking up, they immediately noticed the battle above the Outer Path Statue. They were puzzled by Nagato, Uchiha Madara and others who were in battle, and didn't know what was going on.
Wasn't Nagato controlled by Byakuya? Why did he fight with Uchiha Madara?

Where did Bai Ye go? He was not an ally of Uchiha Madara. Did they have a conflict or internal strife?

Without waiting for Tsunade to speak, Yahiko, who looked weak, explained:
"Bai Ye did not control Nagato. This was Bai Ye's plan to deal with Uchiha Madara. He wanted to infiltrate Uchiha Madara's organization first, and then attack Uchiha Madara and the masked man at the critical moment."

"However, it seems that their plans have failed."

Hearing this, Tsunade, Ōnoki, and the Fourth Raikage showed incredible eyes and asked Yahiko:

"Since these are just Bai Ye's plans, why doesn't Bai Ye discuss it with us?"

"We just tried to kill Bai Ye, and he showed no mercy to us. What if something goes wrong?"

Konan glanced at Tsunade, then stood up and said:
"The more people know about it, the greater the risk of the plan being exposed. However, even Bai Ye did not expect that he had attacked the top leaders of the coalition forces and our close friends, but still failed to gain Uchiha Madara's trust."

Tsunade sighed softly, and the Fourth Raikage also showed a frustrated expression.

Then, the two of them seemed to remember something and said, "Even if Bai Ye didn't betray the coalition, doesn't that mean Naruto and Killer Bee are safe?"

"I don't know about that..."

Konan hesitated for a moment, then said, "But I believe in Bai Ye. Even if he extracts the tailed beast from the Jinchūriki, he can still keep the Jinchūriki alive. His medical ninjutsu can definitely do that."

Since Konan said so, Tsunade and the Fourth Raikage had no choice but to believe it.

Although they have saved their lives for now, they still need treatment and recovery to regain their fighting ability, which will take at least ten minutes.
