Become the mastermind behind the Akatsuki organization

The distance from Konoha Ninja Village to Wave Country is not far.

If the members of Team 7 run at full speed, it will only take a few days to reach Wave Country, but their employer Dazna is not a ninja. If they deliberately slow down to hurry, it will take at least half a month.

In the days since leaving Konoha, the members of Team 7 are full of curiosity about the outside world.

It is the first time for them to leave Konoha Ninja Village and observe the world outside the village, a world that does not belong to ninjas but to ordinary people.

In the world of ordinary people, even Genin is considered a big shot.

A Genin who graduated from the Ninja School can easily defeat the siege of more than a dozen big men. The gap in combat power makes them treat ninjas with caution and dare not offend ninjas at all.

It is also the first time that Naruto sees the attitude of real ordinary people towards ninjas.

In Konoha, where Jonin is worse than dogs and Chunin is everywhere, although the villagers are ordinary people, their attitude towards ninjas is completely different from that of outsiders. This may be the meaning of the will of fire.

However, the light of the will of fire can only shine on the villagers of Konoha at most, and cannot shine on all the people of the Land of Fire. This makes Naruto feel that the will of fire in the village is a little subtle.

Unlike Naruto, Sasuke's eyes fell on the pedestrians, and he felt a little impatient.

This escort mission was a little different from what he imagined. He thought he could meet a wandering ninja and start a fight, and improve his strength in a life-and-death battle.

But after a few days, they not only did not encounter ninjas, but even bandits. If he continued to live in this comfort, how could he grow into a strong man in the ninja world and avenge Uchiha Itachi?

Kakashi felt that his current life was very good, and it would be best if there were no big troubles.

It was enough to protect Naruto and Sasuke. He had not found any traces of the Anbu so far. He seriously suspected that the third generation had deceived him and did not send the Anbu at all.

Continue to look around and search for possible enemies in the dark.

Kakashi's eyes suddenly stopped and fell on a figure in a fire cloud suit, and his expression became extremely solemn.

After noticing Kakashi's gaze, the figure in the Fire Cloud Suit stood up and waved: "Isn't this Kakashi Jonin? Are you on a mission? And you became the leader of the team?"

Before he finished speaking, the figure in the Fire Cloud Suit looked at Naruto and Sasuke on the side, with a thoughtful expression.

This person was none other than Bai Ye who came from the Hidden Rain Village. After learning that Naruto had left the Konoha Village, he quickly came here and found Naruto and Sasuke.

Naruto and Sasuke are the protagonists of the original time and space, and are also the reincarnations of the two sons of the Six Paths Sage.

He is about to break through the limit of the Kage level and reach the level of Otsutsuki. In addition to focusing on recovering the tailed beasts and the ninja village, he must also pay attention to the movements of Naruto and Sasuke.

After all, in the later period of the original plot, although these two protagonists did not reach the level of Otsutsuki.

But in terms of combat power, they are no less than Otsutsuki. Even the Otsutsuki who came from the starry sky were defeated by Naruto and Sasuke.

Kakashi followed Bai Ye's line of sight and found that the other party was paying attention to Naruto and Sasuke, and his heart skipped a beat.

Did Bai Ye know the identities of Naruto and Sasuke and planned to attack them?

If that was the case, let alone whether he could stop them alone, even if the entire Anbu was added together, they would probably not be Bai Ye's opponent.

After Bai Ye fought against the Thunder Shadow and defeated the Fourth Mizukage, his level of danger was no less than that of the Five Shadows.

Just as Kakashi was thinking about countermeasures, Bai Ye had come to the side of several people and greeted them with a smile:

"Isn't this Kakashi Jonin? After not seeing you for a few years, you are still as gloomy as before, but Naruto has grown up a lot and is a little different from before."

The other party knew him... Naruto thought about it and finally remembered who the ninja in front of him was.

"Are you the ninja who ate noodles at Ichiraku Ramen a few years ago?"

Bai Ye nodded, and then said: "It's me. I didn't expect that after so many years, you still remember me. It seems that I am really impressive."

The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is attentive.

The conversation between Bai Ye and Naruto made Kakashi sweat.

Bai Ye had been to Konoha, but that was more than ten years ago. Naruto was not yet born at that time. How did he meet Naruto?

Naruto and Bai Ye had met, which could only mean one thing.

That is, Bai Ye had secretly sneaked into the Konoha Ninja Village and did not let anyone know. This was enough to scare Kakashi.

After greeting Naruto, Bai Ye looked at Sasuke on the side:

"That one over there should be Uchiha Sasuke, the only Uchiha left in Konoha Ninja Village. His strength seems good, but unfortunately he can't compare with Itachi and Shisui."

Hearing the keyword Uchiha, Sasuke stepped forward, stared at Bai Ye and said: "You know me, and you also know Shisui and Uchiha Itachi? Who are you? What is your relationship with Uchiha Itachi?"

"Who doesn't know Sasuke, the orphan of Uchiha? As for the names of Shisui and Itachi, they are even more famous throughout the ninja world."

"As for my identity and the relationship with Uchiha, you can ask your team leader."

Sasuke didn't get the answer he wanted, and wanted to continue to question Bai Ye, but was stopped by Kakashi. He tried to squeeze out a smile and began to introduce Bai Ye's identity:

"Sasuke should not be presumptuous. This senior member of the Hidden Rain Village, Bai Ye, does not have the title of Kage, but his strength and status are almost the same as the Five Kage."

"Not much different from the Hokage?" The members of Team 7 looked at each other, their eyes full of shock.

Bai Ye waved his hand, and then said: "Not much different from the Hokage, my strength should be stronger than the five Kage, not much different."

Hearing this, Kakashi wiped the sweat from his forehead, his face was a little strange.

He thought Bai Ye would take the initiative to be humble and say that he was not as good as the five Kage, but he didn't expect Bai Ye to be the same as before, always using some tricks.

Seeing that the atmosphere was much more relaxed, Kakashi asked: "Master Bai Ye, why did you come to the Land of Fire? Are you here to visit the Third Hokage?"

Bai Ye shook his head, and then said: "I came here to hunt down the masked man and see if there is a chance to completely solve the problem of the masked man. I didn't have enough confidence to meet the masked man, but after meeting you, I have a chance."

Hearing this, Kakashi was slightly stunned, and then understood Bai Ye's thoughts.

Bai Ye's target is the masked man, and the masked man is attacking the tailed beasts everywhere in the ninja world. As long as you stay near the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, the probability of encountering the masked man will be greatly increased.

Thinking of this, Kakashi was relieved. At least he could rest assured that Naruto was safe.

After chatting with Kakashi for a few words, Bai Ye came to Naruto, patted Naruto on the shoulder, and said: "Naruto, improve your strength. Your identity is not enough to deal with the next crisis."

"If you die too, I will be sad for a long time."

After that, Bai Ye performed the instant body technique and disappeared on the spot.

After Bai Ye left, Kakashi's pressure suddenly eased. He sat on the ground and gasped for breath. After spending a few minutes, he barely regained his composure.

Sasuke said to Kakashi: "Kakashi, who was that Bai Ye just now? Why did he know me and seemed to be very familiar with Uchiha?"

Kakashi thought for a while and said slowly:

"I have already told you the identity of Bai Ye just now. As for his relationship with Uchiha? He is Shisui's friend. He once defeated the senior ninja of the Hidden Cloud Village with Shisui, but I have never heard that he had any contact with Itachi."

"When Bai Ye became famous in the ninja world, Itachi was still studying in the ninja school?"

After hearing this, Sasuke fell silent, and said after a long time: Does the fact that Bai Ye became famous earlier than Uchiha Itachi mean that his strength will surpass Uchiha Itachi? "

Kakashi guessed Sasuke's thoughts, but still said:

"In theory, Bai Ye is certainly stronger than Uchiha Itachi, but the two of them have not fought yet, and it is still unknown together. "

"You don't want to become a disciple, Bai Ye is not a ninja of Konoha. "

Sasuke's eyes flickered, and he didn't know if he listened to Kakashi's words, but he remembered Bai Ye's name and deeds, and knew that this was a ninja stronger than Uchiha Itachi.

Naruto also had many doubts in his heart. Bai Ye deliberately emphasized the sound on "Uzumaki", which made him have a strong interest in his surname.

He knew that his surname came from his mother, and his mother came from the Uzumaki clan.

But he didn't know much about the history of the Uzumaki clan. He only knew that the Uzumaki clan once established an independent country, and eventually it was gradually destroyed under the siege of several major ninja villages.

However, he did not ask Kakashi, he did not trust Kakashi.

The only ones who were confused the whole time were Sakura and Dazna. One of them saw how powerful Bai Ye was, while the other knew nothing and urged them to rest and hurry on.

…

At Dazna's urging, Team 7 quickly left the town and continued to head towards the Land of Waves.

Kakashi, who was worried, sent his shadow clones to collect intelligence in front while considering whether to report the news of Bai Ye's appearance to the Third Hokage.

Just as Kakashi was hesitating, the shadow clone that was collecting intelligence in front was hit hard and torn in half. The shadow clone returned to the main body with memories.

After checking his memories, Kakashi quickly rushed to Naruto's position. After finding that there were only two enemies, he decisively slowed down his pace and observed whether there were other ninjas ambushing around.

Not far away, after witnessing Kakashi's body being torn apart, the members of Team 7 were very calm.

They had seen Kakashi use this method to paralyze the enemy more than once, and the number of ninjas on the other side was only two. In terms of numbers, they had the advantage.

The two masked wandering ninjas noticed the expressions of Naruto and others and frowned.

Logically speaking, the death of the team leader should make these young guys afraid to run away, but are these little ghosts too calm?

Could it be that their attack just now did not solve the team leader?

This situation should not happen. Although they are not well-known in the black market, they are all well-trained Chunin and have hunted elite Jonin. It is impossible that they cannot deal with this team protecting Dazna.

After all, according to intelligence, Dazna does not have enough money to issue high-level commissions.

When the wandering ninja was stunned, Naruto and Sasuke had confirmed the tactics through eye contact. After the chakra burst out of their legs, they quickly rushed towards the wandering ninja.

The wandering ninja noticed Naruto and Sasuke, waving his sickle, and a smile rose at the corner of his mouth.

They were not sure whether they had solved the captain of the other team, but they were more than enough to deal with these little ghosts. Age was the biggest flaw. No matter how strong these little ghosts were, they would not have the strength of Chunin.

Soon, the two wandering ninjas knocked down Naruto and Sasuke's kunai through physical skills.

Just one step further, they can use the sickle to deal with these two little ghosts.

However, what the wandering ninjas didn't expect was that Sasuke opened his Sharingan and instantly controlled one of them, and Naruto even released several shadow clones to directly suppress the remaining wandering ninja.

The battle ended in just one minute, and Naruto and Sasuke crushed the wandering ninjas.

After seeing this scene, Dazna was a little surprised at the strength of the two. He didn't expect that these two little ghosts who looked very weak would show such powerful strength.

On the contrary, Kakashi, who looked very strong, was simply vulnerable.

At this time, Dazna suddenly remembered something and said to Naruto and Sasuke: "Hurry up and deal with these two killers. If you don't hurry up, their accomplices will soon appear."

Naruto and Sasuke didn't intend to listen to Dazna's words at all. They looked behind Dazna and Kakashi was walking out of the bushes.

"Kakashi, you just watched us fight and didn't come to help?"

Kakashi said expressionlessly: "You also ignored my 'death'. I thought I could scare you this time, but I didn't expect you were all cold-blooded animals."

Naruto and Sasuke looked helpless. They had the same ninjutsu several times. Don't treat them as fools.

At this time, Naruto seemed to remember something and said to Dazna on the side: "Uncle Dazna, there is something wrong with the mission you issued this time."

"The mission with ninjas is at least B-level. Why did you issue a C-level mission?"

"According to the rules of Konoha Ninja Village, we will cancel this mission, confiscate your commission, and add you to the blacklist as a punishment."

After hearing this, Dazna was struck by lightning and looked very regretful.

Kakashi was thoughtful when he saw this scene. The work of canceling the commission and explaining it should be done by him as the captain. Naruto has said all his lines, what else did he say?

After a moment of silence, Kakashi spoke:

"Naruto is right, Mr. Dazna, you have violated the rules of Konoha Ninja Village. If you cannot explain in detail the reasons and causes for your deception of Konoha, we will immediately stop protecting you."

Kakashi also wanted to cancel the mission immediately, but the Third Hokage already knew about Dazna's situation.

So his mission to protect Dazna this time was not actually ordered by Dazna, but by the Third Hokage, and he had to explain the reason to Dazna.

Seeing that he still had a chance, Dazna sat on the ground and said: "It's all because of Cardo..."
