Become the mastermind behind the Akatsuki organization

It took half a month for Bai Ye to arrive at Konoha Village with the ninjas from Yuyin Village.

During this half month, Bai Ye was not on the road all the time, but took the ninjas from Yuyin Village to travel while enjoying the scenery of the Land of Fire.

After arriving at Konoha Village, Bai Ye was quickly welcomed by the Third Hokage.

Seeing the elderly Third Hokage, Bai Ye said in a half-joking tone: "Third Hokage, you look a lot older than you were more than ten years ago."

The Third Hokage smiled and responded: "Ninjas always get old. I haven't seen you for more than ten years. Bai Ye has also become more stable and mature. I'm afraid you have surpassed Hanzo now."

Bai Ye nodded, admitting that his strength surpassed Hanzo.

Then, as if remembering something, he said, "My master asked me to say hello for him, and by the way, he asked me to bring the Hidden Rain Village ninja to win the first place in the Chunin Exam, so I specially brought them here to participate in the Chunin Exam."

"Them?" The Third Hokage followed Bai Ye's target and saw Kimimaro and Bai.

The Third Hokage had also heard about Bai and Kimimaro's identities. It was rumored that Bai Ye took in two bloodline ninjas from the Hidden Mist Village after repelling the masked man.

If nothing unexpected happened, these two people were Kimimaro and Bai who mastered the Corpse Vein and Ice Release.

Judging from their ages, they are both over sixteen years old, and they seem to have participated in the battle with the Fourth Mizukage, and they have long possessed the strength of a Jonin.

Sending a ninja with Jonin strength to participate in the Chunin Exam is really Bai Ye's style.

After a brief greeting, the Third Hokage and Bai Ye met, and Bai Ye went to the guesthouse in Konoha Village under the leadership of the Anbu.

After welcoming the ninjas from the Hidden Rain Village, the Third Hokage welcomed the ninjas from the Hidden Sand Village and the Hidden Mist Village.

After sending most of the ninjas to the guesthouse, the Third Hokage returned to the office with a depressed look on his face.

He originally wanted to use this Chunin Exam to show the strength of the younger generation of Konoha, but he didn't expect that other ninja villages also had similar ideas.

It's fine that the Hidden Rain Village sent a blood successor ninja to participate in the Chunin Exam.

The Hidden Sand Village even sent the children of the previous Hidden Sand Village, including the One-Tail Jinchuriki of the Hidden Sand Village. Is it necessary to fight so hard to win the Chunin Exam?

If he didn't know that the Hidden Sand Village was weak, he would have suspected that the Hidden Sand Village was going to launch an attack.

Retracting his thoughts, the Third Hokage asked the Anbu beside him, "Have Jiraiya and Tsunade returned to the village?"

The Anbu lowered his head and said, "Jiraiya is in the nearby market, but we can't find Tsunade, and Tsunade seems unwilling to return to the village."

After hearing this, the Third Hokage's face changed.

If only Jiraiya returns to the village, there will be a big risk in holding this Chunin Exam, but Tsunade is unwilling to return and he can only ask Danzo to maintain order.

Thinking of this, the Third Hokage said to the Anbu, "Go tell Danzo to keep an eye on the ninjas participating in the competition these days. If there is any disturbance, report directly to me and don't act rashly."

The Anbu nodded and retreated, going to carry out the mission.

Although he didn't think Danzo would obey the orders of the Third Hokage, with the loss of control over the years, the Root has completely separated from the structure of the Anbu and become a behemoth independent of Konoha Village.

...

In the guesthouse, Bai Ye saw Kabuto Yakushi in the room.

After not seeing each other for seven or eight years, Kabuto Yakushi has grown into a handsome young ninja who looks very reliable.

As a Konoha Genin who failed many times when he was promoted to Chunin, Kabuto Yakushi participated in many Chunin exams and has been collecting information about Konoha ninjas for Bai Ye. This time, in addition to explaining the Chunin exams to Bai Ye, he also came to deliver information to Bai Ye.

Bai Ye took the information, but he was not very interested in the information above. He valued Kabuto Yakushi more.

After a moment of silence, Bai Ye asked Kabuto Yakushi: "How has your strength improved in recent years? Do you have the confidence to defeat Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas? I plan to attack Konoha in the Chunin exam."

"I fight Jiraiya?"

Kabuto Yakushi widened his eyes, as if he had heard a joke.

In recent years, he has been practicing the secret techniques provided by Bai Ye, and has also transplanted the curse seal with biotechnology. Compared with the past, his strength is simply not in the same dimension.

But it is still difficult for him to face Jiraiya directly.

After all, the ceiling of the curse seal technology is just the starting point of the Sage Mode. He has no advantage in front of Jiraiya, and it is difficult for him to even hold on for a while.

However, since it is an order issued by Lord Bai Ye, there is no way but to find a way.

After pondering for a moment, Kabuto Yakushi seriously gave a battle plan:

"Lord Bai Ye, if we confront Jiraiya head-on, the three of us are not his opponents, but we can poison him. I have a poison that weakens the three ninjas. As long as Jiraiya takes it."

After hearing this, Bai Ye shook his head, and then smiled and said: "Forget it, the task of restraining Jiraiya has been done by others. You should continue to lurk in Konoha. It is not time to be exposed yet."

While being surprised that Bai Ye really wanted to attack Konoha, Kabuto Yakushi said:

"Lord Bai Ye, are you really going to attack Konoha? Do you really not need my help? I have collected a lot of intelligence over the years, and I can help you at a critical moment."

Bai Ye shook his head again, and then said: "Are you questioning my decision? There is no need to use your trump card for such a small matter, and I will not personally attack Konoha this time."

"The ninjas who took action this time are Orochimaru and Rasa, and we are even on the side of Konoha."

After listening to Bai Ye's plan, Kabuto Yakushi's eyes were full of shock. He never thought that even Orochimaru and Rasa were Bai Ye's subordinates.

At this time, Kabuto Yakushi seemed to remember something and said to Bai Ye: "Master Bai Ye, Orochimaru has always wanted to take me as his subordinate. Will he have any different ideas about you?"

Bai Ye showed a meaningful smile: "I know Orochimaru is not loyal enough, but this does not affect the relationship between me and him, nor does it affect this plan."

"If Orochimaru invites you next time, you can become his subordinate."

"Yes, Master Bai Ye, I will become his subordinate according to your order..." After a pause, Kabuto Yakushi continued to ask: "By the way, Master Bai Ye, are the dean and his family doing well?"

Bai Ye nodded and said: "I haven't paid attention to them for a while, they should be doing well. Nono and Konan have been traveling around the world for many years, taking in homeless children."

After hearing that the dean was doing well, Kabuto Yakushi breathed a sigh of relief and a faint smile appeared on his face.

At this time, Bai Ye heard a violent chakra fluctuation coming from a distance, frowned, and then disappeared on the spot

…

A conflict is breaking out in a certain block of Konoha, and two parties are confronting each other. The two parties causing the conflict are Konoha ninjas and Sand Village ninjas.

The reason for the incident is also very simple.

Kanjiro from the Sand Village team encountered a few little brats from the ninja school. After being insulted by the brats about the ninja village, Kanjiro attacked the students of the ninja school, but was stopped by Team 7.

A conflict soon broke out between the two sides, and because Naruto and Gaara joined, the conflict continued to escalate, and there was a tendency to expand.

After sensing the chakra, Bai Ye arrived here.

Looking at Gaara and Naruto and others who were in confrontation, Bai Ye showed a helpless expression.

Didn’t Gaara, Kanjiro and others receive the teachings of Scorpion? Why are they still so irritable, without the stability of mature ninjas, shouting and killing all day long.

However, considering Scorpion’s own personality, it is very normal that Gaara did not correct it.

During the confrontation, Gaara and Naruto also found that there was something wrong with each other's identities. They sensed a familiar yet strange breath from each other.

Then the chakras of the two seemed to be competing, constantly fighting in the air.

Seeing this scene, Gaara and Naruto did not dare to take action easily. They suspected that the other party was also a Jinchūriki. If the Jinchūriki fought here, it would definitely attract the attention of adults.

But if they were asked to give in, it would be difficult for the passionate teenagers to accept it.

Just when several people were about to take action, Bai Ye came out from the dark. After sensing Bai Ye's chakra, Naruto and Gaara looked over.

Naruto quickly recognized Bai Ye's identity and hurriedly said, "Senior Bai Ye, are you also here to participate in the Chunin Exam?"

Bai Ye nodded and said, "Yes, I am here to participate in the Chunin Exam. You guys don't have to think about winning the championship, just surrender directly. Naruto, go and give up now."

"If Senior Bai Ye really participates in the Chunin Exam, it seems that we can only..."

At this time, Naruto seemed to remember something and said, "No, Senior Bai Ye, aren't you a Jonin? How can a Jonin participate in the Chunin Exam? You are not here to participate in the Chunin Exam at all."

Bai Ye smiled and said, "I am the leader of the team, but my subordinates are not weak. It is easy to win this game. There is no possibility of losing."

Naruto frowned, and then said, "If Senior Bai Ye doesn't take action, I have the confidence to defeat any opponent, and I will definitely be the first in the Chunin Exam."

Listening to the conversation between Bai Ye and Gaara, Gaara felt more and more that this voice was familiar.

Walking towards Bai Ye, Gaara asked, "Are you the ninja from that night? Are you a friend of Lord Scorpion?"

Bai Ye looked at Gaara and said, "I didn't expect that after so long, you still know me. Is Scorpion doing well these years? He should be a qualified Kazekage now."

Gaara thought of the scene in Scorpion's office and shook his head secretly.

Although Lord Scorpion is the Kazekage of Sand Village, most of the political affairs of Sand Village are handled by Elder Chiyo. Only when the village encounters major events, Lord Scorpion will come forward to make decisions.

From Gaara's expression, Bai Ye also knows Scorpion's work attitude.

After a little hesitation, Bai Ye said to Gaara, "When you go back, ask Scorpion for me. As for the small conflict between you and the Konoha ninja, let's leave it to the Chunin Exam to solve it."

After that, Bai Ye walked towards Naruto and took Naruto to the location of Ichiraku Ramen.

After Bai Ye left, Kanjiurō asked in confusion: "Gaara, why did you stop just now? We clearly have the upper hand. Who is that young man who just appeared? Is he very powerful?"

Gaara glanced at Kanjiurō: "If you want to go over and die, I won't stop you."

Kanjiurou didn't understand why Gaara was so cowardly, but he still listened to Gaara obediently. Although he was Gaara's brother, his status was actually the lowest among the three siblings.

Even though he had been learning puppetry for these years, there was still a huge gap in strength.

Temari also asked in confusion: "Gaara, what's the situation? I feel that before Bai Ye appeared, you were quite afraid of that yellow-haired man."

Seeing his sister speak, Gaara had to answer: "Naruto is a Jinchūriki like me. He should be Konoha's Nine-Tails Jinchūriki."

"Jinchūriki?" Kanjiurou was shocked when he heard this.

As a ninja who was bullied by Gaara since childhood, Kanjiurou knew the strength of Jinchūriki very well. Jinchūriki were a group of monsters. As long as they could communicate with the tailed beasts, they could have the combat power of the Kage level.

He was not even Gaara's opponent, let alone Naruto's opponent.

Temari secretly thought that as expected, he knew the character of his younger brother. If it was not an opponent of equal strength, Gaara would never let the other party go easily.

After learning about Naruto's identity, Kanjiro asked: "Who is the ninja called Bai Ye?"

Without waiting for Gaara to answer, Temari knocked on Kanjiro's head:

"Have you been studying puppetry at home for too long? You don't even know Bai Ye. Bai Ye is the elder of the Hidden Rain Village. His strength is beyond the Five Kage. He is the strongest in the ninja world today."

"The strongest ninja in the ninja world?" Kanjiro widened his eyes.

Gaara sighed softly, and he was desperate for his otaku brother. He didn't even have this keen perception. If he really went to the battlefield in the future, he would definitely suffer.

...

On the other side, Bai Ye was taking Naruto and others to Ichiraku Ramen.

After sitting down at Ichiraku Ramen, Bai Ye said to the hand-made boss: "Uncle hand-made, six bowls of super large ramen, and more chopped green onions and beef."

The hand-made boss came over and looked at Bai Ye, who seemed familiar, and asked: "Is this your first time in Konoha? Why do I feel that your identity and appearance are somewhat familiar?"

Bai Ye smiled and said: "I met you more than ten years ago. At that time, Naruto was not born yet. Jiraiya and the third generation Hokage were sitting next to me. Have you forgotten?"

The hand-made boss thought for a long time, and then smiled and said: "It turned out to be you. I haven't seen you for more than ten years. I really can't recognize you."

While speaking, Ichiraku Ramen has been served.

Familiar recipe and familiar taste, Bai Ye ate noodles while looking at Naruto and Sasuke.

At this time, Kakashi also opened the curtain and came to Ichiraku Ramen.
