Became the mastermind behind the Akatsuki organization

Chapter 60 Waiting for the opportunity
Another person who received the letter was Hanzo of the Hidden Rain Village.

Two months ago, after hearing about the emergence of an organization called Akatsuki in the Land of Rain, Hanzo Salamander finally began to care about domestic affairs.

In order to find out the news about Akatsuki, he even sent spies to join the Akatsuki.

The purpose is to obtain first-hand information.

After opening the letter sent by his subordinates, Hanzo Salamander was stunned. The first sentence in the letter was that he was controlled by the ninjas of the Akatsuki organization and was currently suffering inhuman torture and humiliating treatment.

After seeing these words, Salamander Hanzo frowned subconsciously.

But if he thought about it carefully, something was wrong. If the spy he sent out was really abused, this letter would never have been delivered to him.

Moreover, it is very normal for spies, a profession that is vulnerable to exposure, to be tortured.

Thinking of this, Hanzo of the Salamander became more interested in the Akatsuki organization.

Continuing to read on, when he saw the specific torture content and the organizational structure and philosophy of Akatsuki, Hanzo's brows relaxed a lot.

Akatsuki is indeed a peace organization and strives to express peaceful signals to the outside world.

From the moment Byakuya began to use spies from various forces as labor, Hanzo Salamander knew that the Akatsuki organization was truly implementing the concept of mutual understanding between people.

If he had discovered that there was a spy in the Hidden Rain Village, the spy would have been dead or alive long ago.

It is also a blessing for the Rain Country that such an organization was born in the territory of the Rain Country.

However, Hanzo the Salamander, the ruler of the Hidden Rain Village, has more considerations.

He was thinking about the possibility of Akatsuki joining the Hidden Rain Village and becoming his subordinates. If Akatsuki really joined the Hidden Rain Village, it would definitely bring new vitality to this decadent village.

Moreover, he no longer needs to worry about the issue of succession.

People like Yahiko, Nagato, and Byakuya are not only young, but their strength has also reached the standard of jonin. In time, they will definitely be able to replace him in leading the Rain Country. Maybe there is even hope of making the Hidden Rain Village the sixth largest ninja village.

But the premise of all this is that Yahiko and Akatsuki’s philosophy are truly consistent.

Instead of using the shell of a peace organization to disguise himself, he was secretly thinking of annexing the Hidden Rain Village and removing him from his position as the leader of the Hidden Rain Village.

Thinking of this, Salamander Hanzo looked at the one-eyed Jonin beside him and said, "I have a task for you to complete!"

"Please give me your instructions, Master Hanzo!"

"Go to Akatsuki in my name and see what's going on inside the organization!"

After hearing the order, the Yuyin Jonin nodded quickly.

Although he didn't know why Hanzo asked him to visit Akatsuki, it was a rare good thing that Hanzo, who had been in a bad state for many years, was willing to care about domestic affairs.

He had also heard a little about the Akatsuki organization.

It is said that there is an independent ninja force in the Rain Country that does not obey the orders of Lord Hanzo. Could it be that Lord Hanzo has finally made up his mind to clear up the chaos in the Rain Country!

Thinking of this, the one-eyed Yuyin jonin was extremely excited.

Without wasting any time, Salamander Hanzo immediately wrote a personal letter.

He planned to talk to Akatsuki leader Yahiko in the letter first, and then wait for a suitable time for the two sides to meet.

He believed that Yahiko, a ninja born and raised in the Land of Rain, would become his subordinate.

……

After receiving the handwritten letter from Hanzo of the Salamander, the one-eyed jonin left the Hidden Rain Village.

After wandering around in the Land of Rain for a long time, the one-eyed jonin finally found members of Akatsuki who were helping the villagers in a village.

Seeing how Akatsuki helped the villagers, the one-eyed jonin felt more favorable towards them.

The fact that they can live in peace with the villagers proves that the Akatsuki organization is different from other wandering ninja organizations.

The Akatsuki members also noticed the one-eyed jonin and looked at him with vigilance.

This area is under the responsibility of their team.

Apart from them, there are only two identities for rain ninjas: wandering ninjas and ninjas from the Hidden Rain Village. The former is easy to deal with, as they are confident in dealing with them. But if it is the latter, it will be dangerous.

Although the Akatsuki members and the Hidden Rain Village ninjas are both ninjas from the Rain Country, they belong to two different forces, and those Rain ninjas who joined the Akatsuki organization can be considered traitors to some extent.

The one-eyed jonin also noticed the panic of the Akatsuki members, and after snorting in his heart, he expressed his identity and purpose.

If Lord Hanzo had not specifically told him not to cause trouble, he would have taken down this group of people long ago.

Except for Hanzo-sama's Hidden Rain Village, no other voice is allowed to appear in the Land of Rain.

After learning the identity of the messenger from Amegakure Jonin Hanzo, the Akatsuki members did not dare to be careless and directly wrote a letter to pass the message to Yahiko.

……

Some time later, Yahiko received a letter from an Akatsuki member.

After knowing that Hanzo's envoy was going to visit Akatsuki, Yahiko did not dare to be careless and immediately summoned the top leaders of Akatsuki to a meeting in the conference room, including Byakuya.

Bai Ye arrived at the meeting room, randomly picked a seat and sat down. Looking at the nervous Yahiko, he said, "Chief Yahiko, what happened? Is the Hidden Rain Village going to attack us?"

Hearing this, the atmosphere in the meeting room suddenly became tense.

If the Hidden Rain Village really wanted to attack the Akatsuki, the Akatsuki could resist with its current strength, but the resistance would definitely be very fierce. The reputation of the demigod in the ninja world was earned through his achievements in battle.

Yahiko glanced at Bai Ye, then shook his head and said, "The intelligence is related to the Hidden Rain Village, but it's not a war. It's because Hanzo is interested in the Akatsuki organization and has sent an envoy to investigate."

As soon as these words came out, the ninjas present immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

They thought they were really going to fight with the Hidden Rain Village. If it was just an investigation, there would still be room for maneuver.

But soon, they began to worry again.

They were a little unsure whether Hanzo's envoy came here simply for inspection or to prepare for war in advance. The difference between the two was too great.

However, no matter what, they had to take the envoy's visit seriously.

Because this concerns the future of Akatsuki. If they can gain the recognition of Hanzo of the Salamander, Akatsuki will no longer be an underground organization that cannot be seen in the light, and can expand its influence to the entire Rain Country.

If you cannot gain recognition, you must think carefully about the future development of the organization.

Looking at the anxious people, Yahiko said: "We must attach importance to the visit of Hanzo's envoy and let Hanzo know the philosophy and determination of Akatsuki."

Having said that, Yahiko looked at Bai Ye again. He was very afraid that Bai Ye would provoke Hanzo's messenger in his next action.

After all, Bai Ye didn't have a good impression of the Hidden Rain Village and always thought that the Hidden Rain Village would launch an attack on the Akatsuki organization.

Bai Ye glanced at Yahiko and did not speak at the meeting. He did not have much interest in the visit of Hanzo's envoy.

As Akatsuki develops, Hanzo will sooner or later pay attention to Akatsuki.

Moreover, Hanzo had already sent spies to infiltrate the Akatsuki organization. As for whether Hanzo Salamander can live in peace with the Akatsuki organization.

Bai Ye could only say that there was such a possibility, but it was not very likely.

Hanzo of the Salamander may have a favorable impression of the Akatsuki organization, but the leader of the Hidden Rain Village and the forces to which the leader belongs will definitely not agree, because the rise of the Akatsuki organization is actually taking away the interests of the top leaders of the Hidden Rain Village.

Unless Hanzo of the Salamander can act arbitrarily, suppress all dissenting voices, force peace between the Hidden Rain Village and the Akatsuki organization, and be able to properly handle the conflicts between the top leaders of the Hidden Rain Village and the top leaders of the Akatsuki organization.

From what he knew about Salamander Hanzo, it was clear that this Hanzo did not have this ability.

Thinking of this, Bai Ye silently left the meeting room. Instead of wasting time discussing how to welcome Hanzo's envoy, it would be better to think carefully about how to deal with Salamander Hanzo in the future.

It is true that Hanzo of the Salamander is a demigod in the ninja world, but with the current capabilities of the Akatsuki organization, they are not without a chance of winning.

Even if Nagato does not summon the Outer Path Statue, the Akatsuki organization currently has three fighters close to the level of Kage. Once the Outer Path Statue is summoned, their advantage over Hanzo of the Salamander will be huge.

However, considering the Hidden Rain Village behind Hanzo Salamander, even if the Akatsuki organization wins, it will pay an extremely heavy price, which is not proportional to the price paid.

Therefore, we still need to wait for a more appropriate time.
