Become the mastermind behind the Akatsuki organization

From Yahiko's perspective, if Konoha was really attacked by the Hidden Cloud Village, he would definitely provide assistance and assist Konoha's defense counterattack.

First, Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas of Konoha, is the teacher of several of them.

Second, the deceased Minato Namikaze was his close friend, and the two sides had many similarities in terms of governing philosophy. The Hidden Rain Village also needed to fight back against such a powerful ally as Konoha.

The problem also happened to appear here. The fourth generation Hokage is dead, and the new Hokage is still unknown.

If the new Hokage is Jiraiya, then the relationship between the Hidden Rain Village and Konoha can naturally be maintained. If it is someone else, they need to consider the reality.

After all, Jiraiya, who was born in Konoha, taught the three of them to grow up.

But Konoha's Shimura Danzo also dealt a big blow to the Akatsuki organization. If Bai Ye had not keenly noticed something wrong and made preparations in advance, the Akatsuki organization would have been destroyed long ago.

Thinking of this, Yahiko looked at the others and said slowly: "Nagato, Konan, if the Hidden Cloud Village really attacks Konoha, what are you going to do?"

Faced with Yahiko's question, Nagato fell into deep thought.

Compared with Yahiko, he had no feelings for Konoha and his attitude was quite indifferent.

It was true that Jiraiya taught him back then, but it was Konoha's ninjas who killed his parents and attacked the Akatsuki organization.

In particular, after knowing that Konoha stood idly by and watched the Whirlpool Country back then, his favorability towards Konoha was directly reduced to zero, and he was only concerned about Kushina, who was also a Whirlpool ninja.

Now Kushina also died in the Nine-Tails Rebellion, and he could not find a reason to help Konoha.

And Nagato had a vague idea in his mind, that is, to stay away from Konoha. If he continued to stay close to Konoha, his future life might become even more unfortunate.

Even everything he has now will be lost, after all, everything he once had was taken away by Konoha.

Thinking of this, Nagato said expressionlessly:

"My idea is to remain neutral and not participate in the war between them, but whether you support Konoha or Kumogakure, I will not object."

After hearing Nagato's suggestion, Yahiko was slightly stunned. He noticed Nagato's indifference to Konoha, and it was not an opinion to neither support nor oppose. It was equivalent to abstention...

However, Nagato was so indifferent to Konoha, and his idea of ​​helping Konoha might be difficult to realize.

Konan frowned and pondered for a long time, and said:

"The Ninja World War has just ended not long ago, and the ninjas in the village don't want to fight. If Kumogakure and Konoha really go to war, can we invite both sides to meet and prevent the outbreak of war?"

"If the war can really be prevented in this way, it can also be regarded as practicing the philosophy of the Akatsuki organization."

Hearing this, Yahiko showed a helpless smile. If the war was really so easy to prevent, then the ninja world would have achieved eternal peace long ago.

It seems that how the Rain Village should stand in the future, it still needs to be consulted by Bai Ye.

After hearing each other's thoughts, Nagato and Konan also looked at Bai Ye. After all, Bai Ye was the leader of the Akatsuki organization, and Yuyin Village was just a ninja village under the Akatsuki organization.

Bai Ye smiled slightly and then said:

"My idea is similar to Nagato's. Even if Konoha and Kumogakure really start fighting, we should not leave easily. After all, once we fall into the quagmire of war, it will be difficult to get out."

Hearing this, Yahiko and the other two were stunned and showed doubtful expressions.

They didn't expect Bai Ye to really not intend to intervene in the war. This should not be Bai Ye's style.

Bai Ye saw what they were thinking, and said with a strange look on his face: "Do you think I'm a warmonger? Of course I won't easily intervene in the war."

Yahiko still didn't believe it, and said in a surprised tone: "Really?"

Bai Ye scratched his head, and then said: "It's not that I really won't intervene, but I have to choose the right time. After Konoha and Kumogakure have tasted the bitter fruit of the war, the village can take the opportunity to reap the benefits."

Yahiko and others' faces returned to normal. This is the Bai Ye in their hearts.

However, Bai Ye's plan is indeed the best choice at the moment. If Kumogakure does not start a war, then Yugakure will continue to develop silently.

If Kumogakure really starts a war, Yugakure will have to consider its own interests.

What Yahiko and the other two didn't know was that Bai Ye already had a plan for the outbreak of the war in his mind, and he also knew that Kumogakure would definitely attack the Land of Fire this time, so he just had to wait quietly for the opportunity.

After shifting the topic from the Nine-tailed Rebellion to the possibility that Kumogakure might start a war, and then ending this topic.

A new discussion started in the conference room. This time the object of the discussion was the internal development of Yugakure, which was just a trivial matter.

…

After the high-level meeting, Bai Ye returned to the Akatsuki base outside the village.

After more than a year of development, the scale of the Akatsuki base is no less than that of the Hidden Rain Village, and the number of Akatsuki has increased from more than 100 to more than 300.

However, as the number of people increased, Bai Ye divided the Akatsuki into the inner and outer rings.

The outer rings are ordinary ninjas who once joined the Akatsuki, most of whom are ninjas from the Hidden Rain Village, while the inner rings are the rebel ninjas recruited by Bai Ye from outside, who at least have the strength of elite jonin.

After walking deep into the base, Bai Ye came to a secret room.

There were two red-haired female ninjas in the room. One of them was lying on the hospital bed with disheveled hair, looking at the ceiling with distracted eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

The other person was sitting on a stool reading a book, condensing sealing techniques in his hands from time to time.

After hearing the footsteps coming from outside, the red-haired female ninja who was reading didn't make any movement, but the disheveled female ninja sat up alertly and looked at Bai Ye with a wary look:

"Bai Ye, how long are you going to imprison me? When will you let me out?"

Hearing this, Bai Ye replied calmly: "We'll wait until you recover from your injuries. If I let you out now, you will only die!"

The disheveled female ninja in front of her was none other than Uzumaki Kushina.

After the Nine-Tails Rebellion, he spent a lot of time, energy, and Kari's blood to save Uzumaki Kushina's life.

Even so, Kushina, who had lost a lot of vitality, was still severely damaged, and only had genin strength left.

It may take several years to fully recover.

Kari also came over and persuaded: "Sister Kushina, Lord Byakuya is right. If you go out in your current state, any jounin who appears can kill you. It's better to stay here and recuperate."

Kushina glanced at Karin, and then said: "Karin, you were deceived by Byakuya, so you spoke for him. At that time, he was clearly staying near Konoha, but he did not take action against Kyuubi."

"Sister Kushina, I have no obligation to deal with the Nine-Tails, and who knew you would use forbidden techniques such as the Seal of the Ghoul? You just need to delay it for a while."

After a pause, Byakuya continued: "Besides, you are a member of my clan, and Minato Namikaze is not. Otherwise, you can commit suicide now and go over to accompany Minato soon. I will not stop you."

Kushina was a hot-tempered person and wanted to teach Byakuya a lesson, but her ailing body was unable to do so.

So he said with a cold face: "If you had not taken me away at that time, other people in the village would have saved me. As long as I support you until Tsunade-sama returns, I may not die."

At this time, Kari shook her head and said without giving any face: "Sister Kushina, with all due respect, it is impossible for anyone else to save you except Lord Byakuya."

"When you were sent here, part of your soul was lost. I can save your body, but the broken soul can only be saved by Lord Baiye."

Hearing this, Kushina could only stop her activities.

She knew that Bai Ye had saved her life. Under the circumstances, the masked man was probably ambushing nearby, and it was impossible for Bai Ye to take action at the risk of being attacked by the masked man.

However, what Kushina couldn't understand was that Bai Ye had obviously cured her, but he wanted to imprison her here.

As for Bai Ye asking her to commit suicide for love, she actually had this idea in her heart, but that would be too selfish.

Her child Naruto is still serving as the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki in Konoha.

This was also the reason why she and Byakuya had a conflict. She would leave here now, return to Konoha to accompany Naruto, and then raise Naruto.

After pondering for a moment, Kushina stared at Byakuya and asked: "Byakuye, what exactly do you want me to do before you give me Konoha?"

Bai Ye sighed softly and said, "I just want you to stay here to recuperate. When your injury improves, I will naturally send you back. This is to protect you."

"You haven't thought about the masked man who attacked you first. He may attack you a second time."

Kushina fell into silence. She almost forgot about this matter. Returning to Konoha with her current strength would not only fail to protect Naruto, but might actually pose a threat to him.

However, why did the masked man attack her? It was not safe for Naruto to stay in Konoha at the moment.

Byakuya saw through Kushina's thoughts and said:

"Sister Kushina, I have also sent people to inquire about Naruto during this period. The masked man seems to have no intention of attacking Naruto."

"Maybe Konoha is doing a good job of keeping things secret, or maybe they're only targeting you two."

"However, I really have the idea of ​​taking Naruto away. Unfortunately, there are ANBU following Naruto all the time, and Konoha cannot let me take away the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki."

Kushina sighed softly, she seemed to have no good solution.

Although she wanted to protect Naruto by his side, she could only protect him if she didn't stay by his side. Now it seemed that she could only hide in hiding and stay in this underground space where the sun never shines.

At this time, Byakuya picked up the book on the side, handed it to Kushina and said:

"If nothing happens, just make up teaching materials for medical ninjutsu and sealing techniques with Kari. I will bring you news about Naruto every few months."

After saying that, Bai Ye left the room deep in the base.

Karin glanced at Kushina, then at Byakuya in the distance, then followed her and asked: "Byakuya-sama, why didn't you take Kushina's child away? And who is the masked man?"

"Naruto is the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki, and Konoha will not allow it."

"As for the identity of the masked man, I don't know, but he should have something to do with Kushina. If he is just dealing with the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki, there is no reason why the masked man should not attack Naruto again."

"However, Sister Kushina is currently emotionally unstable, so I still have to trouble you."

"I will take good care of Sister Kushina..." Kari nodded and left from Bai Ye. She believed that Bai Ye would not harm Kushina. They were each other's only remaining clansmen.

After Huali left, Bai Ye's eyes returned to coldness. He raised his head and glanced at the cold light above his head, then walked firmly towards the Xiao organization office.

Of course he knew the identity of the masked man and had also observed the entire process of the Nine-Tails Rebellion.

If it weren't for the purpose of getting half of the Nine-Tails, he wouldn't even want to participate in the final intervention. After all, only by plunging Konoha into chaos can the Akatsuki organization have a chance to develop.

Konoha is the whale in the ocean of the ninja world. Only when the whale falls can everything grow.

As for why Uzumaki Kushina was saved, in addition to Kushina being an Uzumaki ninja and recruiting her may reveal the rewards of the Uzumaki clan, it was also for the purpose of recruiting Uzumaki Naruto in the future.

Uzumaki Naruto is the reincarnation of Asura, the prophesied son of Mount Myoboku, and the future savior of the ninja world.

As for why Uzumaki Kushina was not allowed to see Naruto or directly take Uzumaki Naruto away, the first reason was that he did not want Black Zetsu to know about it, and the second reason was that he did not want to become a thorn in Konoha's side.

It was impossible for Konoha to let the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki leave.

After arriving at the Akatsuki organization's office, Byakuya saw Hanzo standing at the door as a guard. This former Hanzo seemed to be used to retirement life and had become like a guard.

Sanshouyu Hanzo also saw Bai Ye and said with a smile: "Byakuya, you are finally back. What did Yahiko and the others ask you to come over for?"

"Nothing, just a notification."

"What news?" Sanshouyu Hanzo asked curiously: "What news do they have that they know faster than you?"

Byakuya saw Hanzo's gossip heart and said calmly: "The Nine-Tails Rebellion broke out in Konoha not long ago, and both the Fourth Hokage and the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki died."

"Both the Fourth Hokage and the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki are dead!?"

Hearing this news, even Sanshouyu Hanzo was stunned. Although he had been staying near Yuyin Village, he was still well-informed about the outside world.

Knowing that Konoha has produced a fourth generation Hokage who is proficient in the flying thunder god technique.

But how could the Fourth Hokage die together with the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki? Together, they were enough to destroy a small shinobi village.

At this time, Hanzo seemed to remember something, and then looked at Bai Ye and said in a suspicious tone: "Bai Ye, could it be you did the Nine-Tails Rebellion?"

"Don't talk nonsense, it has nothing to do with me!"

Bai Ye quickly denied it, but in Hanzo's opinion it was just to cover up, so he didn't ask too much, just smiled and said:

"It doesn't matter if you did it or not, but Xie just came over and he seems to have something to do with you."
