Became the mastermind behind the Akatsuki organization

Chapter 99: Conversation with Hanzo
As for the second half of Bai Ye’s sentence, he said that he was not as good as a human puppet.

Hanzo still had objections. How could he, a demigod, be inferior to a puppet? Could an ordinary puppet use water teleportation? Could it release the toxin of the salamander?

It really can...

However, puppets are not something that can be used in high-end games.

The reason is very simple. Although puppetry is powerful in all aspects, it has a fatal flaw, which is that it requires a puppeteer to control it.

No matter how powerful a puppeteer is, he can only control the puppet within a distance of several dozen meters.

For a shadow-level warrior, this distance can be reached in an instant. As long as the puppeteer is dealt with, no matter how powerful the puppet is, it will be useless.

After thinking about this, Hanzo began to criticize sharply, saying from the perspective of a senior: "Bai Ye, I think it is a waste of talent to let Nagato use puppetry. His eyes are the Samsara Eye."

"The most powerful puppeteer is old lady Chiyo from Sunagakure, and she's not even as strong as me."

Hearing this, Bai Ye glanced at Hanzo and said calmly: "Teacher Hanzo, is there a possibility that the strongest puppeteer in the ninja world is not Chiyo from Sunagakure, but someone else?"

"If you were to meet him, your chances of winning wouldn't be high!"

Hanzo frowned and asked quickly, "If Chiyo isn't the strongest puppeteer, then who is it?"

Bai Ye showed a mysterious smile: "Senior Hanzo, please tell me how this Ninja World War broke out. In addition to the accumulated conflicts between the major ninja villages, what was the initial cause?"

Hanzo thought for a moment, then said, "The Third Kazekage disappeared, and the Cloud Village took the opportunity to attack the Sand Village."

Bai Ye nodded: "Guess why the Third Kazekage disappeared and who killed him? And when he disappeared, why did Elder Chiyo's grandson also disappear!"

"Grandson of old lady Chiyo?" Hanzo was stunned. He really didn't have the energy to pay attention to a Genin.

At this time, Bai Ye continued: "Elder Chiyo's grandson Scorpion is a genius puppeteer of Sand Village. After his parents were killed by Konoha White Fang, he created puppets named Father and Mother."

"It was him who killed the Third Kazekage!"

"This is impossible. How could a young boy kill the Kazekage? Moreover, the magnetic jutsu bloodline mastered by the Third Kazekage is the most effective against puppets!"

Hanzo quickly denied it, saying he didn't think Scorpion had the ability to kill the Third Kazekage.

"What if he attacked by surprise? If he asked the Third Kazekage to meet him in secret without his puppet, would he disagree with the meeting with his own genius puppeteer?"

"At this time, if we launch a surprise attack, the chances of success are not low."

After listening to Bai Ye's analysis, Hanzo fell into deep thought. In this case, the probability of success is indeed very high, but the Third Kazekage is the strongest Kazekage, and he will be able to react even if he is attacked by surprise.

As long as he seizes the opportunity, Scorpion will never be a match for the Third Kazekage.

But the Third Kazekage was missing, and Scorpion disappeared with him. Even if other strong men in the ninja world killed the Third Kazekage, it would be impossible for them to conceal it deliberately.

For the other four major ninja villages, killing the Kazekage can prove the strength of their village.

"Think about it again. Under what circumstances do you think a puppeteer can deal with magnetic escape and be immune to your poison at the same time?"

Bai Ye reminded Hanzo with a mocking expression.

How does a puppeteer deal with magnetic escape? How does one become immune to poison?
Hanzo thought for a long time. The puppeteer's weakness is his body. As long as he can find the chakra line, he can find the puppeteer's weak body and start a head-on battle.

To defeat the enemy in a head-on battle, the puppeteer has only two choices: one is to surpass the enemy in strength, and the other is to get rid of the weakness of being a puppeteer.

At this time, Hanzo already had some answers in his mind, and said uncertainly: "Bai Ye, you mean to transform yourself into a human puppet and hide your true self among the puppets!"

Bai Ye nodded gently: "Senior Hanzo's thinking is really sharp. It's a pity that Elder Chiyo didn't think of this back then, but his grandson did."

"That's why he was able to defeat the strongest Third Kazekage at the age of a teenager."

"When I think of the existence of such monsters in the ninja world, I can't sleep at night and I'm always worried."

Aren’t you such a monster too… Hanzo complained in his heart, but Bai Ye’s idea made him feel scared.

More than ten years ago, when the conflict broke out between Sand Village and Rain Village.

He used the toxin of the salamander to defeat the Sand Village army and forced it to leave the territory of the Rain Country. At that time, Chiyo's puppet army left a very deep impression on him.

If the puppeteer had not also been poisoned, he would have paid an even more tragic price.

If Sunagakure Chiyo had transformed herself into a human puppet at that time, his chances of winning would be really low. He could only use his superb swordsmanship and physical skills to directly dismantle the puppet.

At this moment, Hanzo suddenly thought of something and said, "Bai Ye, where did you get the information?"

Hearing this, Bai Ye frowned: "Senior Hanzo, don't underestimate my intelligence network and analytical ability."

"Is this the Uzumaki clan's intelligence network? Even if it is destroyed, it still has such a foundation."

Hanzo said with emotion, he seemed to have got the answer.

As an ordinary person, even though he had the chance to become a demigod in the ninja world, his foundation was not as good as that of thousand-year-old clans such as the Senju and Uzumaki.

After all, his era lasted only a dozen years, while the era of these blood-inherited families has lasted for hundreds of years. Every few decades, these families will have powerful people who attract people's attention.

Since Hanzo was just imagining it himself, Bai Ye was too lazy to explain. Anyway, he could just blame it all on the already destroyed Uzumaki.

With the richness of his blood, even if the Uzumaki ancestor was resurrected, he would still be a direct descendant of the Uzumaki ninja, and there would be no doubt about his identity.

At this time, Hanzo seemed to remember something and said seriously:

"Bai Ye, just now you said that Scorpion killed the Third Kazekage, so Scorpion should still be wandering in the Ninja World now. Are you thinking...?"

Bai Ye nodded:

"Yes, I do have the idea of ​​recruiting Scorpion. Akatsuki currently has many members, but not enough elites. We need fresh blood to join us."

After hearing this, Hanzo thought to himself.

Isn’t that enough... There are already several Kage-level warriors.

Except for the insufficient number of ninjas and land area, the current strength of the Rain Village has long surpassed that of the Sand Village and is among the five major ninja villages.

Bai Ye shook his head and said seriously: "It's not enough. We need to have the strength to crush the five major ninja villages. Now it's far from enough."

However, in addition to recruiting Scorpion, Bai Ye also wants to collect more powerful ninjas.
