Chapter 38 Going out

After hearing Bai Ye's suggestion, Yahiko nodded subconsciously.

Bai Ye has become more and more understanding of his thoughts recently, knowing that he cannot develop the Akatsuki organization by secretly provoking a war, so he provides a way to acquire industries to solve the development crisis of the Akatsuki organization.

But seeing Bai Ye's playful eyes, Yahiko began to doubt the rationality of this suggestion.

After thinking carefully, Yahiko felt that Bai Ye had said useless nonsense. Investing in profitable industries would naturally make money, but since they had already made money, others did not need to invest unless threatened with force.

This went against the original intention of the Akatsuki organization and fell into an endless loop.

Bai Ye roughly guessed Yahiko's thoughts and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't let you use force to acquire properties. I have several good ways to make money."

Byakuya was not fooling Yahiko, but he really thought of many ways to make money, which was to make a lot of money by turning ninja technology into civilian applications.

The reason is also very simple. The gap between military and civilian technology in the ninja world is too big.

When the Konoha Laboratory began to clone the Mudun Xue Jie, farmers in the countryside relied on human labor for planting. Even on important days such as spring plowing and autumn harvest, they only entrusted ninjas to solve the problem.

This may be because low-level ninjas need to entrust tasks to obtain income, or more likely because the nobles want to restrict ninjas.

Allowing ninjas to only engage in the mercenary industry and unable to get involved in other industries also indirectly maintained the dominance of daimyo and nobles.

But for Bai Ye, there is no need to abide by this rule.

"Then it's up to you, Bai Ye."

Yahiko didn't think that much, but he didn't doubt the authenticity of Byakuya's money-making idea. After all, the last financial crisis of the Akatsuki organization was solved by Byakuya, and there would be no problems this time.

At this time, Bai Ye suddenly looked at Yahiko and asked: "Yahiko, before that, I have a question to ask you."

"What should you do if our property is coveted by other ninjas and nobles? Should you surrender it with anger, or should you fight back on your own?"

Hearing this, Yahiko fell into deep thought.

He knew that Bai Ye was not just talking about industry, but also referring to the Akatsuki organization.

After thinking for a long time, Yahiko said slowly: "Counterattack. If we are forced to that point, all we have left is to fight back. We cannot deliberately fish."

"I have similar thoughts. It seems that we still have something in common in some aspects."

Bai Ye ignored the second half of the sentence. After his unremitting efforts, Yahiko finally got rid of some childish and naive thoughts.

After all, as long as the Akatsuki organization develops, it will inevitably have interest disputes with Yuyin Village, and it is only a matter of time before a strong conflict breaks out.

However, in his plan, the Akatsuki organization will replace the Rain Hidden Village sooner or later and become the true ruler of the Country of Rain. For now, it is just accumulating strength. When the time comes, he will take action against the Rain Hidden Village regardless of whether it is hostile or not.

And by that time, Yahiko's opinion no longer matters.

Yahiko didn't know what Bai Ye was thinking.

He just felt a little emotional. In front of Bai Ye, he, the Akatsuki leader, was a little incompetent. He couldn't solve any major problems and could only stay in the office and deal with official duties day after day.

Yahiko feels that he is too incompetent, but Byakuya doesn't think so.

Although Yahiko's character is too naive, he still has merits in some places, such as his good-natured character and his patient and gentle work attitude.

As a leader, it is difficult for this kind of person to make the members of the organization hate him, and he can make the organization more harmonious.

Moreover, in addition to his mascot attributes, Yahiko can also handle trivial matters according to his temper, wasting precious time on dispatching tasks and condolences to the villagers. Byakuya asked himself, he did not have this time.

As for letting someone else in the organization be the leader?

Konan may have this ability if he trains for a few more years, but forget it for someone with a weak character like Nagato. Others are neither capable nor qualified to serve as the leader of the Akatsuki organization.

In the final analysis, ninjas are just a group of professional mercenaries who have not received many days of formal education.

Although Konan, Nagato and Yahiko are not good at it, they have received the teachings of the famous teacher Jiraiya and are different from others.

More importantly, becoming a leader would become a target for all forces to gather fire, which was not in line with his plan to make a fortune quietly.

After chatting for half an hour, Bai Ye left the Akatsuki organization office. At the same time, he also received a task from Yahiko, asking him to go out with Xiaonan to sell detonating charms tomorrow, and to see if there was any place to invest.

Byakuya didn't reject Yahiko, and he hadn't gone out for a while.

He always stays in the base and has no actual combat experience. It would be funny if he is like Kaguya Otsutsuki, who can't defeat the enemy despite having a scary height.

…

Early next morning.

After Bai Ye finished his warm-up exercises, he came to the door of Xiaonan's house.

After ringing the doorbell for a while, Xiao Nan opened the door and said with sleepy eyes: "It's Bai Ye, what are you doing here?"

Bai Ye looked at Xiaonan for a few times, and when he saw the traces of dark circles under his eyes, he couldn't help but frown: "Xiaonan, you stayed up late again? Didn't I tell you about the relationship between supply and demand?"

"I didn't stay up all night, I just stayed up all night."

Xiaonan tried her best to explain, rubbed her eyes, and then said:

"And I have recently reduced the sales of detonating charms. I have put the excess detonating charms in the warehouse for everyone to exchange, so that everyone can be safer when they go out to perform tasks."

"Don't stay up late anymore. If your body collapses, you will lose more than you gain."

Hearing this, Bai Ye couldn't say anything more. Overtime work in Xiao's organization was basically normalized. Before, he didn't even get a salary. It was all for love.

And Xiao Nan's behavior of handing out explosive charms can be regarded as promoting the development of the organization in disguise and working for himself for free.

It's just that he is a little worried that Xiaonan will die suddenly if this continues.

At this time, Xiaonan seemed to remember something and asked: "By the way, you haven't said what you want to do with me yet? Does Yahiko want you to go out with me on a mission again?"

Bai Ye nodded: "It's almost the same as last time, but there is an additional task of going out to invest. Please show me the map of the towns in the Kingdom of Rain."

Xiaonan took out the map from the room and handed it to Bai Ye.

After asking for a map from Xiao Nan and finding the location of the black market, Bai Ye asked doubtfully: "The map hasn't been updated. Wasn't the black market here destroyed?"

"It seems like another black market has been built in the same place."

Hearing this, Bai Ye felt helpless to complain.

Although he knew that the underground market like the black market must be related to the local nobles, it was not a good idea to appear in the same place after it had just been wiped out two months ago.

However, considering that the Country of Rain is only so big, there is no other place suitable for establishing a black market.

After writing down all the locations on the map, Bai Ye returned the map to Xiaonan, and the two left the Akatsuki organization base together.

It's not in good condition, so I'll just update it. I'll make it up tomorrow.
