Became the mastermind behind the Akatsuki organization

Chapter 50 Danzo's Plan

Somewhere in the Land of Rain.

Danzo was sitting upright on the tatami, looking at the reply letter lying on the table.

Bai Ye was the first chess piece he had planted in the Akatsuki organization, and he was looking forward to the contents of the letter, which might bring him a big surprise.

After opening the reply letter, Danzo read the contents carefully.

In the first paragraph of the letter, Bai Ye did not follow his instructions and immediately develop the Akatsuki organization, but refuted his order and told him not to meddle in other people's affairs.

Although Danzo was quite unhappy with these words, it was still within an acceptable range.

Bai Ye is not the ninja he trained since childhood, and now he holds a high position in the Akatsuki organization. It is very normal for him to be dissatisfied with his meddling.

Young people always learn to restrain their edge and respect the elderly only after experiencing some things.

Continuing to read on, we saw that Bai Ye said in the letter that he had been working hard to develop the Akatsuki organization, but due to reasons such as manpower, money, and ninjutsu, the plan was delayed.

Danzo was already accustomed to this kind of rhetoric.

It's just that he thinks what I give is not enough and he wants to get more benefits from me.

The ninjas that rose from these small ninja villages even regarded A-level ninjutsu as treasures and were willing to entrust their lives to them for a few million taels. They were very easy to control.

However, aid is something that cannot be withheld, nor can it be given too much at one time. If you don't give it, people will complain, and if you give too much, they will have thoughts of disengagement.

Danzo boasted that he was quite experienced in training spies.

Continuing to read on, when Danzo saw that Byakuya made a suggestion at the Akatsuki meeting, but it was rejected by the top leaders led by Yahiko, his expression became extremely complicated with a mixture of sadness and joy.

Fortunately, his guess about Bai Ye was correct.

The other party was indeed someone who did dirty work in the Akatsuki organization, and had the motivation to climb up, but for various reasons, his suggestions were rejected by some sanctimonious ninjas, and he was unable to bring out all his abilities.

Sadly, he is the same person, only worse.

Whenever he wanted to make a proposal, he would always be opposed by Sarutobi Hiruzen. Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En would also stand on Sarutobi Hiruzen's side and jointly reject his proposal.

The difference between Bai Ye and him is that he is only one step away from becoming Hokage.

If he had not hesitated during the incident of cutting off the rear, and had proposed to cut off the rear earlier than Sarutobi Hiruzen, perhaps he would have been the Third Hokage, and he would not have to guard the light in the darkness.

If given a choice, who would rather be the root who stays in the darkness every day, rather than the Hokage in the sun?
Aburame Ryoma, who was standing next to him, saw Danzo lost in thought and felt confused.

Didn't he just receive a reply from Bai Ye? Why did Danzo look so gloomy? Did Bai Ye offend Danzo?

Thinking of this, Aburame Ryoma asked cautiously: "Master Danzo, Byakuya refused your order?"

Danzo shook his head and said seriously, "No, don't ask any more questions."

Hearing this, Aburame Ryoma shut up obediently. Not asking questions that should not be asked is one of the rules in the Root Manual. As Danzo's right-hand man, he does not need to follow this rule on a normal basis.

But since Danzo has spoken personally, even he cannot ask any more questions about this secret.

However, now he is more curious about the contents of the letter. At this time, Danzo read the end of the letter, in which Byakuya asked if there was any way to seize power, and promised that after becoming the leader of Akatsuki, he would strengthen cooperation with Konoha.

Seeing this, Danzo fell silent again.

It is a good thing that Bai Ye needs his help. It will allow him to better control the other party and make Bai Ye a complete pawn.

But after becoming the leader of the Root, he did a lot of shameful tasks, killed officials under the daimyo, and planned conspiracies against the Third Raikage, but he didn't have much experience in seizing power.

If he had experience, he would have pulled Sarutobi Hiruzen down long ago.

The position of Hokage should be given to him. Sarutobi Hiruzen is more suitable to be the leader of Root and live underground.

At this moment, Danzo couldn't help but imagine himself standing on the Hokage Building, wearing the Hokage hat and waving to everyone, and everyone responded with thunderous cheers and respectfully called him "Hokage-sama".

At that time, Sarutobi Hiruzen could only hide in the corner of the crowd with an unwilling look.

After the fantasy time ended, Danzo looked at Aburame Ryoma beside him, pushed the letter to Aburame Ryoma, and asked: "Ryoma, Bai Ye needs help, do you have any good ideas?"

Aburame Ryoma quickly glanced at the contents of the letter and his face gradually froze. The assistance that Bai Ye needed was very simple, but he didn't know and didn't dare to answer Danzo.

Isn’t the relationship between Byakuya and the top leaders of Akatsuki the same as the relationship between Danzo and other Konoha top leaders?
When Danzo asked him how to assist Byakuya at this time, wasn't he actually asking him how to launch a coup in Konoha?

Although many people knew that Danzo wanted to become Hokage, including the Third Hokage himself, he could not easily answer such a life-threatening question.

Danzo noticed Aburame Ryoma's silence. He frowned and showed an unhappy look. If he didn't even dare to answer such a small matter, how could they discuss big things together in the future?
Seeing Danzo's thoughts, Aburame Ryoma made up his mind and said directly:

"Master Danzo, why don't we help Byakuya kill the leader and high-ranking officials of the Akatsuki organization? After losing the other high-ranking officials, he will naturally become the leader of the Akatsuki organization."

"Killing people is good, but it's a bit too extreme, and it will also arouse Bai Ye's jealousy."

Danzo frowned and was not satisfied with this answer, because once all the other senior executives died, the only living senior executive would become the biggest suspect.

Although others would be angry but not dare to speak out even if they knew the truth, this would definitely weaken the strength of the organization.

If an external invasion is launched, this fire...leadership will not last long.

After his suggestion was opposed, Aburame Ryoma breathed a sigh of relief, and then said nonsense: "Why don't we contact Byakuya to set up a trap, so that Akatsuki will fall into crisis, and then Byakuya will come to save Akatsuki."

"In this way, Byakuya will surely become a hero of the Akatsuki organization, and it will be a natural progression for him to become the leader."

"Yes, this plan is much more reliable than the previous one."

After hearing this suggestion, Danzo's expression eased a lot. If he could really become a village hero, his chances of becoming Hokage in the future would indeed be much higher.

But there are no major wars in the village now, even if the village encounters a crisis.

The most likely ones to save the village are Minato Namikaze and Hiruzen Sarutobi. He has no chance at all, so this plan is still not very reliable.

Thinking of this, Danzo looked at Aburame Ryoma and asked:

"Are there any other options? I don't think these are good enough."
