Become the mastermind behind the Akatsuki organization

Faced with the sudden wood release ninjutsu, Kisame did not retreat, but tried to resist.

However, in front of Yamato, Kisame's physical skills and water escape were restrained by wood escape, and he was unable to exert his full strength. He could only dive into the sea and look at Yamato and Kakashi in the distance across the sea.

When he found out that the person coming was Konoha ANBU Yamato, Kisame knew that he couldn't take down Kakashi.

But his mission is to delay Kakashi from going to support the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki, and he does not need to completely defeat Kakashi. Although there is an extra Yamato, he is not without the power to fight.

For Kisame, completing the mission is more important than life.

The meaning of a ninja's existence is to perform tasks perfectly, not to mention that he is performing a task to make the world peaceful forever, and he can't find a reason to give up.

Yamato's Wood Release also startled Kakashi, but he soon realized that it was Yamato's support.

After understanding this, Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief and took advantage of this opportunity to extract as much chakra as possible so that he could gain a greater advantage in the next battle.

Kisame was also secretly accumulating strength under the water, preparing to use large-scale water escape to stop Kakashi and others.

At this moment, Yamato teleported to Kakashi and said to Kakashi: "Kakashi-senpai, Uchiha Itachi will arrive here soon. Let's retreat first."

Hearing this, Kakashi's expression changed and he quickly asked about the situation of Naruto and others.

Yamato shook his head, sighed softly and said: "I am not Uchiha Itachi's opponent, but I fought for half an hour for them, and I don't know where they finally escaped."

Kakashi's face darkened, but he still followed Yamato's advice and left here.

The top priority is to find the members of Team 7. The identities of Naruto and Sasuke are very important. If something goes wrong, the entire Konoha will suffer heavy losses.

After making up their minds, Kakashi and Yamato left the place and disappeared into the forest.

After running continuously for more than ten kilometers, Yamato stopped and asked Kakashi on the side: "Kakashi-senpai, what should we do next? Should we report directly to the Hokage, or go back to deal with Itachi and Kisame? ”

After Kakashi pondered for a while, he seemed to remember something and said: "There is no need to report to the Hokage yet, Uchiha Itachi and Kisame may not have captured Naruto."

Yamato frowned, he didn't know why Kakashi was so confident.

With the strength of the two of them, Uchiha Itachi and Kisame are no match for them alone. If Uchiha Itachi and Kisame join forces, they can easily defeat them.

Kakashi smiled with difficulty, and then mentioned the incident of Byakuya's appearance.

He didn't believe in his own strength, but in Byakuya in the dark. Uchiha Itachi's growth rate was astonishing, and he was a genius that was beyond his reach. But Byakuya was a monster and had long since left the category of genius.

After hearing Bai Ye's promise to provide support in the dark, Yamato was also slightly startled.

He had heard about Bai Ye's deeds, and knew that the other party had the same wood escape blood inheritance limit as himself, and that he far surpassed him in terms of development level and combat effectiveness.

If Byakuya is really hiding in the dark, then there is no need to worry about the safety of Naruto and others.

However, the ANBU of the dignified Konoha Ninja Village could not even protect their own Kyuubi Jinchuuriki and had to rely on a Ninja Village from outside the village, which made them feel a strong sense of shame.

And even if Naruto and others have been rescued by Byakuya, they still need to join Naruto as soon as possible.

On the other side, Kisame, who was hiding under the water, waited for a long time before coming out of the water.

After realizing that Kakashi and Yamato had left, Kisame's expression changed. When he was about to leave the water, he saw Uchiha Itachi rushing towards the shore.

After confirming Uchiha Itachi's identity, Kisame came to the shore and said to Uchiha Itachi: "Itachi, what's your harvest there? Have you captured the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki?"

Uchiha Itachi shook his head, and then said: "In the process of capturing the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki, I encountered several very strong enemies. After weighing the pros and cons, I gave up on the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki."

Kisame glanced at Uchiha Itachi, and he doubted whether Uchiha Itachi was lying.

With Uchiha Itachi's strength, Konoha should not be able to come up with many effective countermeasures. Unless Konoha secretly dispatches Sannin-level ninjas to guard him, he cannot be Uchiha Itachi's opponent.

However, Kisame can also understand Uchiha Itachi. Not all ninjas can attack their own tailed beasts without any burden.

After a pause, Kisame asked Uchiha Itachi: "Then have you seen your brother? How is he now?"

Mentioning his younger brother, a smile appeared on Uchiha Itachi's lips unconsciously.

"Sasuke has grown up very well and already has the strength close to that of a Jonin. However, if he wants to survive in troubled times, relying on this strength is not enough. He must awaken the same eyes as me."

Kisame heard the doting in Uchiha Itachi's words, and didn't quite understand what Itachi did, so he could only choose to respect it.

Mr. Itachi is obviously a ninja who cares about the entire ninja world. Every time he can tell some profound and profound truths, he can understand the ninja world more clearly and no longer look at the world from the perspective of one country or one village.

Instead, look at the world from the perspective of the entire ninja world.

For the entire ninja world, any ninja and even the ninja village are expendable. As long as eternal peace can be achieved in the end, any bloodshed and conflict will be insignificant pain.

However, when facing Sasuke, Uchiha Itachi showed a very complicated side.

Uchiha Itachi wanted to train his younger brother. Theoretically, it is best to keep his younger brother by his side. Only in this way can Sasuke get the best training.

But Uchiha Itachi left his younger brother in Konoha and let Sasuke receive Konoha's training.

Kisame could imagine how much Sasuke, who grew up in this environment, would hate his brother, and Sasuke's expression a few hours ago also fully proved this point.

Retracting his gradually divergent thoughts, Kisame said to Uchiha Itachi: "Itachi, it seems that the capture of the Nine-tailed Jinchuriki has failed. What should we do next?"

Uchiha Itachi glanced at the Land of Waves in the distance, and then said: "Stay nearby for the time being. There is little hope of capturing the Nine-tailed Jinchuriki, but we still have the task of Cardo."

Kisame nodded, and he didn't want to give up this task easily.

As an employer, although Cardo's temper is not very good and he doesn't give enough respect, the reward given by Cardo is a large sum of money, and the task cannot be abandoned casually.

…

The Land of Waves, Cardo’s mansion.

Cardo was in his office at this time, listening to the report from his subordinates.

When he heard that a forest suddenly appeared on the beach near the bridge, Cardo frowned and severely reprimanded his subordinates who came to report.

If you don’t know how to report, you don’t have to report. How could a forest suddenly appear on the beach?

According to his understanding of ninjas, ninjas are just a group of barbarians who can use chakra. Maybe they surpass his bodyguards in speed and strength, and can use some dazzling magic tricks.

But they are also in the category of normal people, and they can’t beat guns.

As for creating a forest out of thin air, this is no longer a ninjutsu, but a miracle.

Cardo’s subordinates are also innocent. He knows that his report is exaggerated, but he just tells the truth. Unexpectedly, it aroused Cardo’s disgust.

After thinking about it, Cardo’s subordinates modified the content of the report and said that they found the wreckage of the ship on the beach.

After hearing this, Cardo nodded with satisfaction and said:

"It seems that Dazna has died at sea. The two ninjas did a good job, but your previous report was too exaggerated. Don't do this in the future."

After Cardo's men left, Cardo came to the balcony and looked down at the civilian area in the distance and the half-built cross-sea bridge.

This bridge connects the Land of Fire and the Land of Waves. Once connected, it will have a significant impact on his business.

But it is only a little impact. The Land of Waves is positioned as a smuggling port. As long as there is smuggling between countries, he can make a lot of profit from it.

For Cardo, the reason for sending people to assassinate Dazna is not because Dazna is a bridge engineer.

It is because Dazna's son is the leader of the rebellion against him.

Once Dazna successfully builds the bridge, with the reputation of building the bridge, the other party will be able to threaten his rule and may even overthrow himself.

This is intolerable for Cardo. He cannot tolerate the existence that can overthrow him.

In the land of Wave Country, he is the king and the daimyo, and any signs of resistance must be nipped in the bud.

Retracting his gradually divergent thoughts, Cardo began to consider how to further exploit civilians.

Recruiting the two rebel ninjas might be a good choice. He could use them to assassinate some people who resisted him, and also learn more about ninjas through them.

As the world's leading smuggler, his goal is not just smuggling.

He wants to become the most powerful businessman in the world, and eventually acquire a large piece of land, making himself the first daimyo in the family.

Just as Cardo was fantasizing about the dream of becoming a daimyo, Bai Ye came to Cardo quietly and stretched out his hand.

After feeling his shoulder being pressed, Cardo's face changed slightly. After turning around suddenly, he saw Bai Ye wearing a fire cloud suit, frowned and asked:

"Who are you, a new ninja?"

Cardo didn't know Bai Ye, but he knew the forehead protector unique to ninjas, and said with a curse.

Bai Ye looked at Kado with some doubts, then cast an illusion, causing Kado to faint, and then shook his head gently.

How did Kado become a big businessman in the ninja world when he was so slow to perceive danger?

Recalling Kado's attitude towards Zabuza in the original time and space, Bai Ye was somewhat relieved. Kado's attitude towards ninjas was not personal in the ninja world, and the nobles in the ninja world generally looked down on the ninja world.

After all, in the eyes of most nobles, ninjas are just special mercenaries.

Moreover, because ninjas have not read much, they generally have only destructive capabilities and no production capabilities. This has led to ninjas surpassing nobles in terms of military power, but they have to accept the rule of nobles.

But since the second generation of Hokage established the ninja school, ninjas have been trained from family to academy.

In fact, an education system has been formed. Ninjas do not need to be hired by nobles, and almost independent small kingdoms have been formed within major countries.

Some sharp daimyo discovered this and began to restrict ninja villages.

The Wind Country and the Rain Country are the best examples. They used the authority accumulated by the daimyo for generations and used the means of pulling one faction against another to maintain their rule over the ninja villages.

The Fire Country and other countries used means such as marriage to complete the binding of ninja villages.

The rulers of these great countries all understood that the times had changed and handed over power to the ninjas step by step, but Kado in the Land of Waves did not understand this. After forcing Zabuza into a dead end, he eventually killed Zabuza.

Retracting his gradually divergent thoughts, Bai Ye stepped over the unconscious Kado and began to ask.

In addition to using Uchiha Itachi and Kisame to train Naruto, he also came to the Land of Waves for the wealth accumulated by Kado.

Kado was engaged in the smuggling business and must have accumulated a lot of wealth over the years.

These riches are nothing to the current Akatsuki organization, but money is still a lot better, after all, the Akatsuki organization still has a lot of expenses.

Many experiments and scientific research require a lot of money to complete the development.

After using illusion to ask about Kado's specific property, Bai Ye frowned. Kado's wealth on the books is actually not much, and there are more land and other immovable assets.

It will take a lot of time to convert them into specific wealth.

In addition to these riches, Cardo's most important wealth is the Land of Waves. The geographical conditions of the Land of Waves are extremely superior, and it is an excellent port.

This is also the reason why Cardo can accumulate so much wealth.

It is necessary to find a way to include the Land of Waves in the sphere of influence of the Akatsuki organization in order to maximize the benefits of this trip.

While thinking about the plan, Bai Ye came to the underground vault, and saw a figure standing outside the underground vault. This person was none other than the masked man Obito.

After seeing Obito, Bai Ye smiled and greeted him, and then said: "Masked man, you did a good job this time. After Uchiha Itachi and Kisame attacked Naruto, we have a reason to control the Land of Waves."

Obito's face changed, but when he thought of Bai Ye's strength, he said nothing.

When Naruto left the Ninja Village, he had already received the news. Originally, he did not want to deal with Naruto at this moment. After all, he was famous and could easily be besieged by the five major Ninja Villages.

It was Bai Ye who found him with Bai Zetsu and then asked him to arrange all this.

From the current point of view, this plan is very successful and can deepen Bai Ye's character, but the price is that he will become the enemy of the five major ninja villages.

Although he is ready to endure humiliation, he still can't stand Bai Ye.

Bai Ye ignored Obito's murderous look and said to Obito: "Masked man, have all the valuables here been transferred to the Hidden Rain Village?"
