Became the mastermind behind the Akatsuki organization

Chapter 85 Death of Demigod
In the VIP prison of the Anbu base, Bai Ye saw Hanzo with a depressed look on his face.

After losing to the younger generation of Akatsuki, this demigod seemed to have lost all his energy and spirit. He looked like an old man waiting to die, emitting the stench of decay.

Hanzo raised his eyelids when he heard footsteps in the corridor.

After seeing that the person coming was Bai Ye, Hanzo perked up, his eyes full of complexity, and he slowly said: "Bai Ye boy, why are you here? Are you here to give me a ride?"

"Lord Yahiko wanted to kill the teacher, but with my help, he saved his life."

"You are the only one who really wants to kill me!"

Hanzo said somewhat helplessly. He knew that Byakuya was full of lies. In comparison, Yahiko was much more sincere and honest. If Byakuya had not been there, he would have destroyed the Akatsuki organization long ago.

Bai Ye shook his head, sighed and said:
"It was me who saved the teacher's life, but the teacher still doubted my intentions. Did the teacher really think that I could kill leader Yahiko and the others just because I didn't join the Akatsuki organization?"

Hearing this, Hanzo narrowed his eyes slightly. He wanted to listen to Bai Ye's sweet words.

"Teacher Hanzo, do you know why I joined the Akatsuki organization? Besides the fact that Nagato is from the same clan as me, it's also because Nagato was born with a pair of Samsara eyes!"

"Reincarnation Eye!"

Hanzo was stunned. During the previous battle, he suspected that Nagato's eyes were the Rinnegan.

Now, after hearing Bai Ye confirm it personally, he was even more shocked.

Although the Rinnegan is one of the three major eye techniques like the Byakugan and the Sharingan, it is the eye possessed by the legendary Six Paths Sage, and its power is enough to change the world.

At this time, Bai Ye continued:

"Teacher Hanzo, your strength is indeed very strong, but can it compare to the Samsara Eye? Remember the Shinra Tensei and Wanxiang Tianyin that Nagato used? That is only one of the many abilities of the Samsara Eye. Nagato could not even exert one tenth of its power."

"If the teacher really hurts Yahiko and makes Nagato go berserk."

"Do you think you and the Hidden Rain Village behind you will be spared? I am only trying to stop Nagato and the others from losing hope. If they still feel hopeless, the world will also feel hopeless."

Hanzo fell into silence, his back wet with sweat.

If the Rinnegan is really that powerful, everything Bai Ye said would very likely happen, and at that time, he would have no way out but death.

However, after careful consideration, Hanzo's gaze fell on Bai Ye.

Compared to Nagato and others who have dreams and desire peace in their hearts, Bai Ye is a real monster, and his level of terror is no less than Nagato.

First of all, although Byakuya is three to five years younger than Nagato, his intelligence is far beyond his age.

Secondly, Bai Ye’s strength should not be underestimated. While he is proficient in the Uzumaki Sealing Technique and Paper Styles Secret Technique, he also has the Wood Style Bloodline Limit.

In the battle that took place a few days ago, they even used force to force him to surrender.

At this age and with this strength, even if the First Hokage were to be resurrected, he probably wouldn't be able to do it.

Thinking of this, Hanzo's eyes were full of fear, and he asked cautiously: "Bai Ye, what exactly do you want me to do? What is your ambition?"

"Ambition?"

Bai Ye sneered, then seemed to remember something and sighed: "Maybe it's to see a world full of peace, or maybe it's to restore the destroyed Uzushio Village." "Uzushio Village, are you an Uzumaki ninja?"

Seeing Hanzo fall into the trap, Bai Ye nodded slightly:
"I used to be a ninja from Uzushio Village. I found Nagato and others in order to work with them to restore the Rain Country and build a new Uzushio Village."

"But just now, I changed my mind. I think the Uzushio Village must be built on the land of the Uzu Country. In order to achieve this goal, I need to accumulate enough strength to occupy the land of the Uzu Country and still have enough strength to fight back."

Hanzo stared at Bai Ye and asked, "Restoring the country is really a good ideal... What about Wood Release Bloodline?"

"I don't know about that either. I just awakened my bloodline limit recently..."

Bai Ye showed a confused expression, and then said: "However, this bloodline is very good for controlling people. I plan to plant a wood release seed in your body to prevent you from contacting your old subordinates."

"Since I have chosen to surrender, I will not think of causing trouble."

"But I am very curious about what Yahiko and the others will think after they know your ambition..."

"Yahiko will never betray me. I will help him develop the Hidden Rain Village and the Land of Rain. If the Hidden Rain Village cannot be developed into a ninja village that surpasses the five major ninja villages, there is no hope for the restoration of the Uzushio Village..."

At this point, Bai Ye paused and stretched out his hand towards Hanzo: "So, Mr. Hanzo, are you willing to join my Akatsuki organization and make the Rain Country great again?"

"Make the Rain Country great again!"

Hanzo murmured to himself. He seemed to see his younger self in Bai Ye.

The difference is that Bai Ye is stronger than him and has greater ambitions than him. He not only wants to be on par with the five major ninja villages, but also wants to become the number one ninja village!

This was a dream he had never thought of when he was young.

He stretched out his arm tremblingly, then retracted it like lightning, and said to himself:
"It's impossible. The Hidden Rain Village can never surpass the five great ninja villages. The fate of the Rain Country is confined to this place of the Three Wars. No matter how many times they try, they will return to the starting point, or even worse."

Looking at Hanzo who had lost his ambition, Bai Ye showed a look of contempt and said sarcastically:

"Is this the demigod of the ninja world, the idol of Yahiko Nagato and the others? It seems that he is nothing more than that. Fearing the revenge of the five major ninja villages is just an excuse. You are just greedy for pleasure and afraid of death."

"I admire Hanzo who wields the sword against the five great ninja villages, but I hate the corrupt demigods."

Hearing Bai Ye's ridicule, Hanzo knew that the other party was deliberately provoking him, wanting him to find his original intention, but his original intention had long been lost in the rainforest of the Rain Kingdom.

However, for the hope of the Rain Country, Hanzo sighed and said, "Don't provoke me anymore. If it's for the Rain Country, I promise you."

"But my old bones are of no use anymore, so don't hold out too much hope."

"At most I will use my title as a demigod to buy you a few more years."

"Demigod?" After hearing this, Bai Ye shook his head and said:

"The Hidden Rain Village does not need the protection of a 'demigod', but the Akatsuki organization needs qualified instructors to train the ninjas who walk in the darkness."

"If you want to join us, the first thing you have to do is give up the title of demigod."

"The title of demigod has no benefits other than attracting attention!"
