Become the mastermind behind the Akatsuki organization

After recovering, Uchiha Itachi looked at Bai Ye as if he was looking at a monster.

He knew that there was a gap between him and Bai Ye, but he didn't expect the gap to be so big. His eye technique, Tsukuyomi, which he was proud of, had no effect on Bai Ye.

Could it be that Bai Ye not only reached the level of Kage in ninjutsu and taijutsu, but also reached the level of Kage in illusion?

This made Uchiha Itachi gradually start to worry about whether Bai Ye's existence would pose a threat to the village. Although the relationship between Yuyin Village where Bai Ye was located and Konoha was good, Bai Ye had the strength to threaten Konoha Ninja Village.

However, considering that Bai Ye was currently an enemy of the masked man, there was no need to worry too much.

It was just that he was afraid that he would suffer this time.

Bai Ye noticed the change in Uchiha Itachi's expression, but he didn't care too much. At this moment, he focused on his Mangekyō Sharingan.

Although his pair of Mangekyō Sharingan didn't have any special eye techniques, it provided him with extremely high resistance to illusion and amplification of ninjutsu.

After entering the Tsukuyomi space just now, he was ready to resist for three days and three nights.

But he didn't expect that his Mangekyō Sharingan would quietly exert its power, allowing him to get rid of the Tsukuyomi illusion in an instant.

This ability reminded Bai Ye of an old friend who liked to laugh wildly, that is Uchiha Madara. In his impression, Uchiha Madara's Mangekyō did not record the pupil technique. Could it be that his Mangekyō was the same as Uchiha Madara's?

Is this the power of numbers? There are no fancy skills, just simple numbers.

Retracting his gradually divergent thoughts, Bai Ye looked at Uchiha Itachi again, ready to continue practicing with Uchiha Itachi.

At this time, Uchiha Itachi was already sweating profusely, thinking about how to leave this place.

After seeing Bai Ye disappear from the spot, he subconsciously prepared to use the Crow Instant Body Technique to avoid the attack, but Bai Ye had already locked the position of the chakra and appeared in advance at the position where Uchiha Itachi was avoiding.

The wind blade was unsheathed and fell on Uchiha Itachi.

At this critical moment, Uchiha Itachi used his trump card and activated Susanoo.

With a large amount of chakra condensed, Susanoo appeared on Uchiha Itachi's body, blocking the chakra wind blade for him, leaving a clearly visible sword mark on Susanoo.

Soon, Susanoo expanded rapidly, flesh and armor appeared on his body, and entered the third stage.

The red Susanoo stood on the ground, like an ancient demon god, looking down at Bai Ye and his people not far away.

Bai Ye smiled slightly, then formed seals with both hands and slapped the ground.

The ground cracked, and countless vines rose from the ground, entwined with each other and turned into a wooden man more than 30 meters high. The height of the wooden man was more than twice that of Susanoo, and it looked like the angry King Kong of the demon.

Seeing this scene, Naruto and Sasuke took a few breaths of cold air.

When they saw Uchiha Itachi using Susanoo, they were filled with despair. They didn't know how Bai Ye could defeat Susanoo. This scale of weapons had completely exceeded the scope of ninjutsu.

However, the next moment, Bai Ye showed them his confidence.

Kakashi and Yamato, who were fighting with Kisame, were also distracted by the huge movement and looked at the location of Bai Ye and Uchiha Itachi.

Seeing Susanoo and the wooden man, Kakashi and Yamato were full of surprise.

Surprised, Kakashi asked Yamato beside him: "Yamato, you also have Wood Release Kekkei, can you use this scale of ninjutsu?"

Yamato glanced at Kakashi, smiled bitterly and said:

"What do you think, Senior Kakashi? In front of him, I am like a newly graduated Genin who meets you and me, and I have no ability to resist at all."

After a pause, Yamato continued: "Being able to use this scale of ninjutsu, Lord Bai Ye's strength may not be as good as the first generation of adults back then, but it should be almost the same."

After hearing Yamato's evaluation of Bai Ye, Kakashi was silent for a long time, and then said to Kisame: "Kisame, if nothing unexpected happens, Uchiha Itachi will soon be defeated. Do you still want to continue to resist?"

Kisame was silent for a few seconds, and then made his choice with practical actions.

After making seals with both hands, Kisame also slapped the ground. This time he did not attack Kakashi and Yamato, but summoned a small lake on the flat ground.

At the moment the lake collapsed, the body merged with Samehada and disappeared in the water.

What shocked Naruto more than Kisame, Kakashi and others was the Nine-Tailed Fox in Naruto's body. After the seal was opened, the Nine-Tailed Fox was able to sense the situation outside.

It originally wanted to manipulate Naruto's mind and find a way to regain freedom.

Therefore, it has been bewitching Naruto to let Naruto hand over his body so that it can lay out its plans calmly.

As a result, while the plan was still being formulated, it saw Uchiha Itachi using Susanoo, and Byakuya even used Wood Release, a ninjutsu that it would never forget.

It also recorded that in the Valley of the End decades ago, it participated in the battle of the Valley of the End as a summoned beast.

In that battle, Uchiha Madara and the first generation of Hokage showed combat power beyond the tailed beasts. Even in its heyday, it could not be the opponent of those two people.

In the battle just now, it could observe that Itachi's strength was not as good as Madara's, and Byakuya's strength was not as good as the first generation.

But it is also not in its prime. Even if it escapes from the Jinchūriki by chance, it will be sealed back into the Jinchūriki due to severe damage to its vitality, and there is also the risk of being stuffed into the Ten-Tails.

The battle between Bai Ye and Uchiha Itachi continues.

After being hit by a heavy punch, Susanoo retreated dozens of meters, and cracks appeared on the surface, which could collapse at any time.

After seeing Kisame successfully retreat, Uchiha Itachi looked at Sasuke's position and chose to retreat.

After attacking Bai Ye again, Uchiha Itachi was hit by the wooden man's punch. He released Susanoo and flew towards the coastline.

When approaching the coast, a shark jumped out of the sea and took Uchiha Itachi away.

Bai Ye looked at the sea and sensed the breath of Kisame and Uchiha Itachi. He did not chase the two. The purpose of showing strength had been achieved, and he did not need to continue to attack his future subordinates.

After making hand seals and releasing the wooden man technique, Bai Ye returned to Naruto and Sasuke.

Naruto and Sasuke looked at Bai Ye with admiration. The strength that Bai Ye had just shown gave them a great shock.

Naruto asked curiously, "Master Bai Ye, did you just use the Wood Release of the First Hokage?"

Bai Ye nodded, then touched Naruto's head, and said with a smile, "It was the Wood Release of the First Hokage, but compared with that First Hokage, my strength is still far behind?"

Sasuke looked in the direction of Uchiha Itachi, then looked at Bai Ye, and his mind became active.

If becoming a disciple of Kakashi means that there is no hope of defeating Uchiha Itachi in this life, and becoming a disciple of Shisui means that there is a possibility of fighting Uchiha Itachi, then becoming a disciple of Bai Ye will definitely help him fulfill his wish.

Just as Sasuke was about to speak, Bai Ye raised his hand to stop Sasuke.

Sakura, who was unable to intervene in the battle throughout the whole process, ran over and came to Bai Ye and asked curiously, "Master Bai Ye, you seem to be using Wood Release, but why are you not a ninja of Konoha?"

After hearing this, Naruto and Sasuke's faces changed, signaling Sakura not to continue asking questions.

Bai Ye is a Wood Release Bloodline, but he is not a Konoha Ninja. There must be many secrets in this, and it may involve a certain village leader.

Bai Ye smiled, looked at the innocent and cute Sakura, and said: "I am an Uzumaki Ninja. Our group was not originally a Konoha Ninja, and there is no need to join Konoha now."

"Uzumaki Ninja?" Sakura asked with some doubt: "Naruto also has the surname Uzumaki... you?"

Bai Ye nodded, and then said: "Yes, Naruto and I also have the Uzumaki bloodline, but his identity is more complicated than mine. The specific identity involves Konoha secrets, so I can't tell you for the time being."

Is Naruto also a ninja from a big family... Sakura was slightly stunned.

At this time, Kakashi and Yamato arrived here and said to Bai Ye respectfully: "Master Bai Ye, this time thanks to your help, otherwise our teams would have been wiped out."

"No need to thank me, I just did it by chance."

After a pause, Bai Ye said to Yamato: "You should be the survivor of the Wood Release experiment that year. Your potential is greater than you think. Don't limit yourself because of your thinking."

Yamato nodded. Bai Ye's Wood Release attainments are better than his, and everything he said is right.

After a moment of silence, Kakashi asked cautiously: "Master Bai Ye, where have you been these days? Why are you here now?"

"Guess?" Bai Ye deliberately kept it a secret.

Just then, Naruto and Sasuke seemed to remember something and hurriedly said: "Teacher Kakashi, Uchiha Itachi and Kisame have escaped. Should we notify Dazna to continue building the bridge?"

Kakashi did not answer Naruto and Sasuke. Building a bridge is a small problem.

The key is whether Itachi and Kisame will come back. They are not Bai Ye's opponents, but as long as they assassinate Dazna, their mission will still fail.

Bai Ye looked at Naruto and Sasuke and said, "The Akatsuki organization will take over the construction of the bridge. You don't have to worry too much. I promise that there will be no interference in the construction of the bridge."

"But hasn't Cardo always opposed it..."

Naruto and Sasuke just opened their mouths and realized something, saying, "Lord Bai Ye, has Cardo been dealt with in advance?"

Bai Ye nodded gently and said slowly:

"After I explained it to him with reason and emotion, Cardo finally understood how many mistakes he had made. He promised me that he would build the Whirlpool Bridge and build a lot of basic measures for the Land of Waves."

"After completing these, he will spend all his wealth and take the initiative to find a remote place to commit suicide to apologize."

Bai Ye's words seemed light, but everyone present knew what Bai Ye had done to Cardo.

Cardo is a wealthy man in the ninja world and a local emperor of the Wave Country. How could he suddenly wake up? Bai Ye must have forced Cardo to wake up and finally killed Cardo.

However, considering Cardo's bad deeds, these means are nothing.

After hearing this, Kakashi and Yamato looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

Their mission to protect Naruto and Sasuke was completed, but the wealth of the Wave Country was taken by Bai Ye first. No wonder Bai Ye has not been seen these days. It turns out that Bai Ye went to find Cardo.

However, the two workers just sighed, and the third generation Hokage might have a headache for a long time.

Konoha's financial situation has not been very good in recent years. On the one hand, it was because of the coup in the Wind Country that Konoha lost the commission from the Wind Country.

On the other hand, the income of the Fire Country has dropped sharply, and military expenditure has also dropped a lot.

There are many reasons for the sharp decline in the income of the Fire Country. One is that the Fire Country has lost its suzerainty over some of the surrounding small countries, and the other is that the Fire Country has lost its competitive advantage in goods.

Goods produced in places such as the Rain Country are of high quality and low price, and have in turn earned money from the Fire Country.

All these situations have led to the deterioration of Konoha's finances, and sometimes even wages cannot be paid.

Thinking of this, Kakashi looked at Bai Ye. It was the Akatsuki organization where Bai Ye was that caused all this to happen, but Konoha could do nothing about it.

Konoha needs the Akatsuki organization as an ally, and there is no reason to deal with the Akatsuki organization.

Bai Ye also glanced at Kakashi, and after making a seal to signal Kakashi to come over, he entered the jungle first.

Kakashi's face changed slightly, and after ordering Naruto and Sasuke to return to Dazna's house first, he used the instant body technique to chase Bai Ye.

After arriving in the depths of the jungle, Kakashi looked at Bai Ye with a puzzled look.

Bai Ye showed a harmless smile and said to Kakashi: "I know you have a lot of doubts in your heart. It was not convenient to answer because there were too many people just now. Now you can ask."

Kakashi was shocked. How could Bai Ye know his thoughts.

After choosing his words, Kakashi slowly asked: "Bai Ye, why is your Wood Release so strong? What is your relationship with the first generation? Where did Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura go these days?"

Bai Ye glanced at Kakashi, and then said: "I have some relationship with the first generation Hokage, but that is all in the past. There is no need to dwell on the past."

"As for where Naruto and the others went these days? I found a few qualified teachers for them."

"Qualified teachers? Who are they?" Kakashi frowned. He wanted to know the identities of these teachers and see if they were in any danger.

Bai Ye smiled mysteriously and then said: "Just some forgotten dead people."

Kakashi frowned. He hated the riddle man.

After a short pause, Bai Ye continued, "I can't tell you the identity of the ninja who taught Sasuke for now, but I can tell you who the ninja who taught Naruto is."

"She is also a ninja from the Uzumaki clan, and you are very familiar with her. She is one of the people you are most familiar with."

Kakashi frowned. He vaguely got the answer, but he didn't dare to believe it. He asked with some uncertainty, "Could it be Master Kushina?"

Hearing this, Bai Ye nodded gently: "Yes, it's Kushina."

Hearing this familiar name, Kakashi froze in place, his mind blank.
