Became the mastermind behind the Akatsuki organization

Chapter 75 Everyone has their own agenda
Under the protection of the guards, Salamander Hanzo came to a forest outside the village.

Here, Hanzo saw Danzo dressed in ninja clothes and a group of Konoha Anbu behind him, and he couldn't help but frowned.

Judging from the number of people, the number of ninjas brought by Danzo was too many, with eight teams and thirty-three people in total.

These people are not just ninjas who are there to make up the numbers. They are elite members of Konoha's assassination force. Each of them has strength that surpasses that of an ordinary Chunin. They are a force that can change local wars and cannot be ignored.

After a moment's silence, Hanzo looked at Danzo who was not far away and said, "Danzo, why did you bring so many people here? Are you planning to attack the Hidden Rain Village?"

Danzo shook his head and said, "I just came to see an old friend and see if we can continue the cooperation like last time and weaken the strength of the Iwagakure Village."

Hanzo glanced at Danzo and said, "Don't you Konoha Golden Flash hunt down the Jonin of Iwagakure every day? It will take them more than ten years to recover the Jonin they lost."

Danzo sighed softly, revealing an unwilling look:
"That's Minato Namikaze's credit. What does it have to do with me? Konoha is about to hold a Hokage election. If you can't get a lot of credit as soon as possible, that kid will become the Hokage."

"So you're still thinking about the Hokage. If the Hidden Rain Village has such an outstanding junior, I will definitely step down and let the world be handed over to the young people."

Hearing the sarcasm in Hanzo's words, Danzo said with a fake smile:
"Minato is different from me. He has always been disgusted with secret plots. When he comes to power, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to cooperate as before."

After a pause, Danzo continued, "However, your Hidden Rain Village is not without outstanding younger generations. I heard that a new ninja organization has recently appeared in the Rain Country, and it has a great reputation among the people."

Did even Danzo know about it?

A gleam of brilliance flashed in Hanzo's eyes, and then he nodded and said, "Yes, there is such an organization, but they have been giving me some headaches recently?"

"If I can give Hanzo-sama a headache, then I am somewhat interested."

"Nothing, it's just that a high-ranking member of the Akatsuki organization killed the ninja I sent out. Now the Hidden Rain Village under my command and the Akatsuki organization are at loggerheads."

"Danzo, speaking of which, the other senior members of the Akatsuki organization are disciples of Jiraiya of your Konoha."

"Jiraiya's disciple?"

Danzo frowned at the right moment, "I've heard about this. He accepted a few students in the Hidden Rain Village, but how come they established a ninja organization and even came into conflict with Hanzo-sama."

Hanzo stared at Danzo for a few seconds, as if trying to see through Danzo with his eyes, but he couldn't.

At this time, Danzo seemed to have thought of something and said, "Since they have had a conflict with the Hidden Rain Village, which has made Hanzo-sama feel embarrassed, why don't we work together to solve this trouble."

Hearing this, Hanzo looked at Danzo in surprise: "Yahiko and the others are Jiraiya's disciples, and they are considered half Konoha ninjas. Don't you care about Jiraiya's thoughts?"

"Jiraiya will not know about this, and if I can help Hanzo-sama solve the problem, I am willing to serve, but when I run for Hokage, I may need Hanzo's help."

At this point, Danzo smiled grimly.

Hanzo did not immediately agree to Danzo, nor did he directly refuse. He stood there and began to think about the pros and cons.

From a practical point of view, Akatsuki does have the ability to threaten him, and with Danzo's help, the losses can be minimized in the action against Akatsuki.

But Danzo couldn't help him for no reason.

Although dealing with Akatsuki can reduce the strength of competitors, the cost is too high. If the losses in the operation to eliminate Akatsuki are too heavy, Danzo will definitely be held accountable after returning to Konoha.

And there is a huge doubt in this, that is, is it too coincidental that Danzo came? Could it be that there is something good in the Akatsuki organization that Danzo has set his eyes on?

At this moment, Hanzo suddenly remembered something he had been ignoring. The hair color of Nagato, a senior member of the Akatsuki organization, seemed to be red. Red hair is not rare in the ninja world, but it is a symbol of the Uzumaki clan.

Could it be that Danzo's target is Nagato, who is suspected to be of the Uzumaki bloodline?

After all, the ninjas of the Uzumaki clan are the most suitable candidates to become Jinchūriki, and if one wants to run for Hokage, one must firmly grasp the Jinchūriki, this powerful weapon.

Thinking of this, Hanzo no longer hesitated and decided to cooperate with Danzo to destroy the Akatsuki organization together.

At this point, it no longer matters whether Bai Ye attacked the messenger or not. Since Bai Ye has been captured, an irreparable rift has appeared between the Akatsuki organization and the Hidden Rain Village.

Then why not just offend them to the end and kill the Akatsuki organization in the bud.

After losing the obstacle of Akatsuki, there were no more ninjas in the Rain Country who could threaten him.

As for the question of whether the Hidden Rain Village has an heir, it is more reliable to cultivate one's own people. It is not good for the high-level officials of the Akatsuki organization to be too outstanding.

After all, what is good for the Rain Country may not necessarily be good for him, the leader of the Hidden Rain Village.

In the first half of his life, he made great efforts to save this weeping country, but he failed in the end. It was time to start thinking about himself.

After careful consideration, Hanzo agreed to cooperate with Danzo.

What Hanzo didn't notice was that Danzo's eyes were full of mockery, and he was very disdainful of him, the demigod of the ninja world.

However, both parties are very satisfied with this cooperation.

Hanzo was glad that he could reduce the losses and get rid of the Akatsuki, an organization that was difficult to get rid of. All he had to pay was an Uzumaki ninja who was useless to the Akatsuki and a promise.

Danzo was thankful.

This plan, which has been planned for several months, has finally come to an end.

In order to complete the plan of creating chaos in the Rain Country.

He first contacted Byakuya, a high-ranking figure in the Akatsuki organization, and took advantage of Byakuya's desire to become the leader of Akatsuki to have him secretly collect intelligence about the Hidden Rain Village, and together they developed an assassination plan.

Now, that kid might still be immersed in the beautiful dream of seeing Akatsuki fall into crisis and then stepping forward to save it and become a hero.

Unfortunately, he never thought of letting Bai Ye become the leader of Akatsuki.

From the beginning to the end, he was just using Byakuya, taking advantage of Byakuya's ambition to cause internal strife between the Hidden Rain Village and the Akatsuki organization, two organizations that might threaten Konoha if they united.

Next, all you need to do is work with Hanzo to wipe out the Akatsuki organization.

You can weaken the Hidden Rain Village and gain a solid and reliable ally.
