Became the mastermind behind the Akatsuki organization

Chapter 58: Ninja is more cost-effective

"Why hasn't Jiraiya-sensei replied yet? Did something happen?"

A few days later, in the Akatsuki office, Yahiko, who had not received a reply yet, had such doubts in his mind.

But soon, Yahiko put this bold idea behind him.

Sensei Jiraiya is one of the three ninjas of Konoha. His performance in war is no less than that of the Five Kage. He is one of the top ninjas in the ninja world. Even if the Akatsuki organization is destroyed, nothing will happen to Sensei Jiraiya, right?
Could it be that Jiraiya didn't receive the letter? But Konan clearly handed the letter to Kakashi.

Kakashi is a disciple of Minato Namikaze and a jonin of Konoha, so he should have been able to meet teacher Jiraiya. Perhaps the war with Iwagakure took up too much of his teacher's energy, and he didn't have time to recover.

Thinking of this, Yahiko convinced himself and didn't take it to heart.

As the leader of the Akatsuki organization, he has a heavy workload every day. In addition to reviewing documents on a daily basis, he also has to care about his subordinates in various departments, and even has to squeeze out time for training.

Instead of wasting time thinking about why the teacher didn’t reply, you might as well take the time to visit him.

But that would have to wait until the war was over. Given the current situation among countries, it would be difficult for him and Master Jiraiya to meet, and he could easily be used by someone with ulterior motives.

Gathering his thoughts which were gradually drifting away, Yahiko stood by the window and looked at the scenery in the distance.

Ever since Byakuya gathered spies under his command and established the Akatsuki secret department, large-scale construction began at the Akatsuki base. Not only did they cut down the surrounding trees, but they also built canals and smooth roads.

The Akatsuki base, which was originally only the size of a village, gradually evolved into a town.

However, Yahiko felt that the term "ANBU" was somewhat inappropriate. ANBU was the abbreviation of assassination special forces, and the ANBU under Bai Ye were more like a prisoner-of-war camp, exploiting the spies who infiltrated the organization in various ways.

Yahiko could still tolerate this kind of behavior.

This is Bai Ye.

After several weeks of hard work, this group of dark team members gradually came to their senses. Bai Ye asked them to open up wasteland and cultivate land and carry out infrastructure construction, not to torture them to obtain intelligence.

They simply treated them like free oxen and horses, and worked hard in the mountains.

After realizing this, many members of the Anbu started to slack off. They deliberately only used four or five points of their full strength, and even took a rest quietly during the daytime nap.

The only exception among this group of people is Bai Zetsu.

As a vegetative state, White Zetsu can survive only by photosynthesis. He works very hard and has no idea what fatigue is.

Apart from being a bit talkative, they are basically a perfect workforce.

The rest of the Anbu members looked at White Zetsu sweating profusely, and they were so angry that their teeth were itching. Brother, don't forget that you are also a spy, why are you so cowardly?

Could it be that you are actually a spy sent by Bai Ye to infiltrate the spy group?
After a busy day, Bai Ye moved the juvenile reading material on his face, looked at his Anbu members, stretched his body and said:

"Let me see how you guys are doing with your work today."

Hearing Bai Ye's lazy tone, the Anbu members nodded repeatedly.

When facing Bai Ye, they were angry but dared not say a word. They were tired but their lives were more important than hard work.

Moreover, as spies, they work 24 hours a day for fear of exposing their identities.

Now that their identities as spies have been exposed, they have accepted their fate and no longer need to worry. Resistance is useless anyway. Not to mention that Bai Ye used a curse to control their life and death, even if he didn't, they would not be able to defeat him.

The information they received was all false. Bai Ye was not a Chunin who was close to the jonin level at all. His strength was at least that of an elite jonin, and he could be a high-ranking official in any of the major ninja villages.

Bai Ye flew into the sky, inspected the construction site, and nodded with satisfaction.

The productivity of ninjas is indeed extraordinary. Even when they are slacking off, they are still dozens of times stronger than ordinary people. No wonder chakra ninja tools have not yet been popularized in the ninja world.

It's not that chakra ninja tools are unaffordable, but that ninjas are more cost-effective.

After flying back to the ground, Bai Ye brought the Anbu members to the training ground. While distributing today's food, he also gave them paper and pens.

After seeing the paper and pen, the ANBU members' faces changed slightly.

Bai Ye has been disguising himself for several weeks, and now his true colors are finally being exposed. However, their experiences over the past few days are not enough to make them betray their respective ninja villages.

They are all ninjas with faith, and they would never betray the ninja village even if they die.

Bai Ye took in the expressions of the Anbu members. He really looked down upon the information in these people's minds. To put it bluntly, if he really wanted to obtain information, he could just go directly to Nagato.

Nagato's interrogation method is very environmentally friendly, and he can directly extract the soul for questioning.

It's just a bit life-threatening.

Moreover, judging from the amount and level of chakra of these people, they may not know as much about the secrets of their respective ninja villages as he does, so there is no need for him to obtain any intelligence at all.

After a moment's silence, Bai Ye's cold voice sounded:
"We are a humane organization. It has been two weeks since you all arrived. It is time to write letters to your families... to let them know that you are safe."

Hearing this, the ANBU members were stunned.

Bai Ye didn't want to interrogate them, but to let them pass information to the village and complete their mission of infiltrating the Akatsuki organization.

But during these days of infiltrating the Akatsuki organization, they did nothing but work and sleep.

There is no place to get information, and if they are asked to write, they don’t know what to write. And is it really true that the contents of their letters will not be changed by Bai Ye?
They even had such doubts in their hearts.

Bai Ye gave them this opportunity so that they could work harder for Akatsuki for a few more days. After all, in addition to Bai Ye's curse mark, many of them also had weaknesses in the village.

Bai Ye saw what these people were thinking, and then said:

"Don't worry, I won't read your letters, nor will I make any changes. The Akatsuki organization and the major ninja villages are not enemies. We just want to stay safely in the Rain Country and protect ordinary people in the country."

"You have all observed the Akatsuki organization these days and know that we have no ill intentions."

Seeing that Bai Ye had revealed his hand directly, the members of the Anbu all showed helpless expressions. After looking at each other, they began to write the mission report.

Regardless of whether they would be intercepted or not, they really wanted to let their superiors know what was happening to them.

It would be best if the village could come and rescue them. If not, it would also serve as a reminder to those who come later that although Akatsuki has just been established, it has the ability to identify spies.

However, they were somewhat unsure as to whether Akatsuki had any ambitions.
