Chapter 36: Bet with Yahiko
At the same time as Black Zetsu was born, Bai Ye also woke up from meditation.
After seeing the sky gradually getting darker, Bai Ye stood up and shouted to Nagato and Kari in the distance: "That's it for today's training. Pack up your things and prepare to go back."
After hearing this, both Nagato and Kari breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Bai Ye's starting point is good, and they also know the benefits of training, people always have a tendency to be lazy and don't want to live so hard and busy every day.
As he walked towards Bai Ye, Nagato seemed to remember something and said to Kari: "Have you told Bai Ye about that?"
Karin glanced at Nagato, shrugged and said:
"Are you talking about the Uzumaki bloodline? It's basically confirmed. What Lord Byakuya taught me today is the secret sealing technique of Uzumaki. If you are not a direct descendant of the family, you will have ghosts."
"But Byakuya-sama doesn't have much affection for Uzumaki, and he didn't mention anything related to Uzumaki."
"Sometimes I still envy Mr. Byakuya's black hair. As long as he doesn't take the initiative to expose it, it's hard for others to guess that he is also a member of the Uzumaki clan."
Hearing this, Nagato also showed an envious look, but it quickly disappeared.
His mother's identity as a member of the Uzumaki clan was not revealed, but she still died at the hands of a ninja, and at the hands of a Konoha ninja who was an ally of the Uzumaki.
After a pause, Huali continued: "But Mr. Byakuya also said that the Uzumaki clan has been destroyed long ago. There is no need for us people to inherit the name of the Uzumaki clan. We just need to live our own lives."
Nagato was silent for a while, then nodded and chuckled:
"Bai Ye is really awesome. I won't let go so easily. However, although the Kingdom of Whirlpool is destroyed, this is our home."
Bai Ye smiled knowingly while listening to Kari and Nagato's discussion about him from a distance.
He is not an Uzumaki ninja at all, and of course he has no feelings for the Uzumaki clan, but it is not bad if this misunderstanding continues. At least he has created a character for himself who has stepped out of the shadows and is unwilling to mention the past. The rest of the setting depends on the two of them. .
After the two of them came to his side, Bai Ye talked about the upcoming training mission.
Both looked surprised when they heard that they only had ten days to train in the next month.
Based on their understanding of Bai Ye, they thought Bai Ye would let them train every day.
After seeing what the two were thinking, Bai Ye said with a smile: "Stop thinking nonsense. To strengthen your body, you must pay attention to the balance between work and rest. I can't watch you every day. We are all ninjas and will need to go out to perform missions one day." ”
Hearing this, Nagato and Kari were a little embarrassed. When they wanted to explain something, Byakuya had already left.
Looking at Byakuya's back, Nagato and Karin had the illusion that Byakuya was their elder. However, in terms of age, Byakuya was the youngest, but they had always been taken care of by Byakuya.
…
After leaving the training, Bai Ye did not go home, but came outside the Akatsuki organization's office.
He hadn't seen Yahiko for half a month, and this time he received news of the end of the Kannabi Bridge Battle. He just happened to talk to Yahiko about it and the Akatsuki organization's development plan.
Pushing open the door, Yahiko, who was working, noticed Bai Ye and said with a smile: "How come Bai Ye is willing to come here?"
Bai Ye glanced at Yahiko and said angrily: "Leader Yahiko, how about I leave now?"
Yahiko made a gesture of reluctance and apologized: "It's just a joke. You are always welcome here, but you won't come here if there is nothing important."
"Is this because of the end of the Battle of Kannabi Bridge?"
Bai Ye found a seat to sit down and nodded: "It is related to the battle of Kannabi Bridge. I estimate that after this battle, the large-scale war between Konoha and Iwagakure will end, and both sides will focus on other things." "On the battlefield."
"Isn't this a good thing?"
Yahiko asked in confusion, he didn't understand Bai Ye's thoughts.
Byakuya shook his head slightly, and then said: "It is a good thing for Konoha and the Country of Grass, but it may not be a good thing for us."
"Why?"
Byakuya explained: "Although Konoha and Iwagakure have stopped large-scale fighting, the infiltration of ninja teams will not stop. In order to consume the enemy's power, they often use some unconventional means."
"For example, causing trouble in enemy-occupied areas, such as pretending to be enemy ninjas and killing civilians..."
Byakuya's words made Yahiko look more serious.
Yahiko knew very well that the examples Bai Ye gave were things that could easily happen in reality and were indeed worthy of attention.
After pondering for a moment, Yahiko said seriously: "Byakuya, thank you for your reminder. I will let the ninjas in the organization protect civilians and try to avoid such things from happening. This is Akatsuki's purpose."
Hearing this, Bai Ye shook his head: "Yahiko, you still don't understand what I mean. My focus is not on protecting civilians, but on Akatsuki's current situation, which is very dangerous."
"Will the situation of the Akatsuki organization be very dangerous?" Yahiko couldn't understand.
In his opinion, the Akatsuki organization is currently very safe. With nearly ten jounin in charge, other organizations will not have the ability to eliminate the Akatsuki organization unless the five major ninja villages take action themselves.
"It's possible that the Five Great Ninja Villages and Sanshouyu Hanzo..."
"I believe in the five great ninja villages, but how could Master Hanzo possibly attack us?"
After hearing about Sanho Hanzo, Yahiko breathed a sigh of relief. He did not think that Sanho Hanzo might take action against the Akatsuki organization. On the contrary, it was more likely that the other five major ninja villages would take action.
After all, Sansho Hanzo is the idol of all Rain Country ninjas and a living legend in the Hidden Rain Village.
After pondering for a while, Yahiko looked at Byakuya and said: "Byakuya, you still think too much. There is no need for Hanzo-sama to eliminate us. As long as he is willing to accept us, the Akatsuki organization can join Amegakure Village at any time."
Bai Ye also looked at Yahiko, he did not doubt Yahiko's determination.
In the original plot, when Sansho Hanzo showed his kindness for the first time, Yahiko took the risk of being ambushed and went to the venue of the meeting with only Nagato and others.
This was already very sincere, but it was a pity that Sansho Hanzo did not accept the idea of the Akatsuki organization.
In the end, Yahiko died in Sanho Hanzo's conspiracy, and Hanzo died in the hands of Pain's Six Paths. It can only be said that both Sanho Hanzo and Yahiko made the wrong choice and paid the price for it.
After snorting softly, Bai Ye said:
"Whether you believe it or not is your choice. I have already regarded Sanshou Hanzo as an imaginary enemy. Yahiko, if you want the wings of the Akatsuki organization to cover the Land of Rain, sooner or later you will face this old demigod."
Yahiko shook his head and said disapprovingly:
"I still can't imagine a scenario where the Akatsuki organization and Hanzo-sama are hostile. Byakuya's thinking is too extreme. Everyone else may deal with us, but only Hanzo-sama cannot."
Looking at Yahiko who was so determined, Bai Ye suddenly smiled. He originally wanted to subtly change Yahiko's mind, but he made a more interesting decision.
He decided to make a bet with Yahiko.
Thinking of this, Bai Ye stood up, put his hands on the table, looked into Yahiko's eyes and said:
"Leader Yahiko, since you are so sure, why don't we make a bet? If Hanzo doesn't take action against the Akatsuki organization within three years, I can promise you anything and help you wholeheartedly."
"On the contrary, I want your position as the leader of the Akatsuki organization. At that time, you are no longer qualified to continue to lead Akatsuki!"
