Become the mastermind behind the Akatsuki organization

Dark room.

After hearing the news that Namikaze Minato had returned with a great victory, Shimura Danzo frowned.

As the Hokage's assistant and the leader of the Konohagakure organization, he should have been happy when he heard the news that the Iwagakure stronghold was destroyed.

This means that the balance of the war is further tilted towards Konoha, and victory is not far away from the village.

But when he thought that all these achievements belonged to Namikaze Minato, Danzo couldn't be happy.

Because, as Namikaze Minato gained more and more credit, he became further and further away from the position of Hokage, which he could not accept.

This made him eager to get more credit so that he could gain an advantage in running for the position of Hokage.

But can he, who is already old, really compare to the young and energetic Namikaze Minato? Even he himself was very doubtful, could he really just retreat and choose to support Orochimaru as Hokage?

After shaking his head secretly, Danzo Shimura picked up the map of the ninja world and began to plan to create conflicts between countries.

After studying for a while, Shimura Danzo's eyes fell on Rain Country.

Only by dragging more countries into the quagmire of war can Konoha's advantage become greater, and he can gain enough credit to make Sarutobi Hiruzen look at him, and the Kingdom of Rain is the best choice.

As a demigod who was once given the title of Sannin, Sansho Hanzo's every move will attract the attention of the entire ninja world.

After pondering for a long time, Shimura Danzo said to the ninja beside him: "Ryoma, send someone to investigate in the Land of Rain to see if there is any chance to drag Hanzo into trouble."

Aburame Ryoma nodded, then seemed to think of something, and asked quickly:

"Master Danzo, do Kakashi's team still need to continue monitoring? Some time ago, they encountered the Jonin of Iwagakure Village, and a nearby Chunin team we were responsible for was also eliminated."

After saying that, Aburame Ryoma told the news about the return of Kakashi and others.

Upon hearing the news, Danzo Shimura's expression changed slightly.

He sent people to monitor Kakashi and others, partly because Kakashi was Hatake Sakumo's son and worthy of attention, and partly because he was monitoring Obito Uchiha in the team.

Although Obito is an alien among Uchiha, any Uchiha who enters Konoha's master-disciple system cannot give up surveillance. If the wave feng shui gate really becomes the Hokage, Obito will become the Hokage's disciple. He must not take it lightly. .

After thinking for a moment, Danzo said: "Sent people to continue to monitor their movements. We encountered jounin who could kill the root team instantly and come back intact. They must have ulterior secrets."

"Yes, Danzo-sama!" Aburame Ryoma retreated into the shadows.

…

After a day of running around, Bai Ye and others returned to the Akatsuki organization base.

After being out for nearly twenty days, Bai Ye finally had time to rest and fully relax his tense nerves.

But before relaxing, he had to meet with Yahiko, the leader of the Akatsuki organization, to discuss the future of the Akatsuki organization.

When he arrived at the Akatsuki organization's office, Yahiko was talking to Konan, Nagato and Karin.

After learning about Kari's tragic experience and the identity of the Uzumaki clan, Yahiko chuckled and said:

"Huali, welcome to join the Akatsuki organization. You will be our companion from now on. What do you think of the logistics work? In your current state, you are not suitable for going out to perform missions."

Huali fell into deep thought, and then said hesitantly: "I listen to Lord Bai Ye, I will go wherever he asks me to go."

After hearing this, Yahiko's expression changed. Following Bai Ye's words, this was too dangerous.

According to reports from Nagato and Konan, Byakuya even attacked the Kuayin Village building in order to rescue Kari. If not for the special ability of Paper Release, everyone might have died in Kuayin Village.

Even if Nagato is the legendary son of prophecy, he can't be so wasteful.

"Leader Yahiko, if you want to poach people, please do it secretly. I brought Kari back, and of course it is my subordinate. Do you want to poach people from me? Then I will poach Senior Konan and Senior Nagato. "

After hearing that Yahiko wanted to poach someone from her, Byakuya couldn't help but open the door.

Yahiko seemed to have noticed Bai Ye's behavior of eavesdropping in the corner. He sighed and said: "Of course the people you recruited belong to you, but your action this time is too dangerous and may even provoke a war between the two countries."

“With the dangers of action come great rewards, and I brought back essentials for organizational development.”

"Do you mean those ninjutsu scrolls stolen from Kusagakure Building? Those are indeed things that the organization needs and can improve the strength of our companions, but what if something happens to you?"

"The probability of something going wrong is very low, and if you don't come up with any sweeteners, how are you going to maintain the cohesion within the organization, relying solely on your ridiculous ideas?"

Seeing that there was a tendency for a quarrel between Byakuya and Yahiko, Konan motioned with her eyes to Nagato and Karin to leave with her.

After everyone left the office, Yahiko made a stop gesture, then looked at Bai Ye seriously, and said slowly:

"Let's not argue about our differences in philosophy for now. Let's talk about the purpose of your action."

Looking at Byakuya's operation, from the beginning of going to the border black market to purchase supplies, to gradually rescuing the imprisoned Uzumaki ninja, to making a big fuss in Kusagakure Village and snatching ninjutsu scrolls.

If Bai Ye said that Bai Ye was just acting recklessly, Yahiko would never believe it.

After all, Akatsuki's organization was established after he and Byakuya discussed their ideas. It was impossible for Byakuya to take huge risks to attack Caoyin Village.

"It's for the future development of the Akatsuki organization."

Bai Ye also regained his seriousness and answered quite seriously.

Even if there was no system, he still wanted to develop the Akatsuki organization, but it was too difficult at the beginning and there was almost no hope.

Hearing this, Yahiko nodded and signaled to continue.

Byakuya continued: "Yahiko, you may not have noticed that a year has passed since the establishment of the organization. At the beginning, everyone's dream was to achieve peace in the Land of Rain, and eventually spread peace to the entire ninja world."

"But a whole year has passed, and Xiao is still making small fuss within a few towns..."

"Companions can endure a life of lack of food and clothing, and can tolerate the behavior of helping ordinary people regardless of compensation, but they cannot endure a life of repeated ineffectiveness and no hope."

After hearing these words, Yahiko fell into silence.

What Bai Ye said was true, and he couldn't make any changes at the moment. Even he didn't know whether he could go on this road, let alone others.

After a pause, Yahiko asked: "Do you know how to change?"
