Chapter 384 Danzo's future thoughts

Speaking of Akatsuki's Byakuya, Uchiha Madara became interested.

He still remembered that before he fell asleep, he had paid attention to this little guy in Akatsuki, and his personality and methods of doing things left a deep impression on him.

If Byakuya didn't have Uchiha blood, he might have given up on Obito and trained Byakuya instead.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Madara said with interest: "Of course I remember. During the time I was asleep, could Byakuya have done something earth-shattering?"

Obito's face changed slightly, as if something beloved had been taken away, and he said: "Byakuya led Akatsuki to defeat Hanzo of the Salamander, you should know about it, old man Madara."

Uchiha Madara nodded slightly, indicating that he already knew it.

Before he fell asleep, he had sent White Zetsu to collect information about Nagato many times, and he naturally knew about Akatsuki's victory over Hanzo of the Salamander.

And Uchiha Madara was not surprised. After all, Nagato was the vessel chosen by him. No matter how weak his character was, he had the Samsara Eye that could change everything.

However, what did all this have to do with him being resurrected in this way?

Black Zetsu saw the suspicion in Uchiha Madara's eyes, and then continued to talk about what happened later, from Bai Ye being invited by them to join the Moon Eye Project, to the recent Konoha Collapse Plan.

Listening to these things, Uchiha Madara frowned, and then looked at Obito.

Obito's face had long been extremely livid. Every time Bai Ye showed off, he often stepped on him as a stepping stone.

Therefore, he did not want to take the initiative to talk about these past events.

Uchiha Madara also felt that something was wrong. Why was the relationship between Bai Ye and Obito somewhat similar to that between him and Hashirama?

Whenever he had any actions or ideas, he would always be one step ahead of Hashirama.

And when he heard that Bai Ye claimed to be the descendant of the Thousand Hands and wanted to stop the Uchiha descendant from destroying the ninja world, this sense of déjà vu reached its peak.

Looking at Obito who was a little aggrieved and Black Zetsu who seemed to be smiling, Uchiha Madara said:

"So, you resurrected me in this form because Bai Ye prevented you from implementing the Moon Eye Plan, so you want me to take action myself and get rid of him?"

Without waiting for Obito to speak, Black Zetsu shook his head and talked about the relationship between Bai Ye and them.

"Mada, Bai Ye is not my enemy. Not long after you fell asleep, we found Bai Ye and persuaded him to join the Moon Eye Plan and deceived him to collect the tailed beasts to resurrect the Ten Tails, so that the ninja world can maintain peace in the threat of destroying the country."

"Over the years, Bai Ye has done very well and collected a lot of tailed beasts for the organization."

Hearing this, Uchiha Madara became more confused.

Since Bai Ye is a friend, not an enemy, then Obito and Black Zetsu have no need to use the Impure World Reincarnation Technique to revive him. Wouldn't it be better to use the Reincarnation Technique directly?

What Uchiha Madara didn't know was that Obito was worried about this.

After a brief pause, Obito said awkwardly:

"Old man Madara, Byakuya collected the tailed beasts for us, but he has developed his power too fast in recent years, and he also has extremely amazing strength."

"If we really let him hunt all the tailed beasts, we may not be able to implement the Moon Eye Plan. After all, Byakuya seems to have no interest in the Infinite Tsukuyomi."

"Not interested in the Infinite Tsukuyomi? Are you still a little afraid of him?"

Uchiha Madara fell into a brief pause. He could understand the former, but not everyone could understand the greatness of the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

Infinite Tsukuyomi is the will of fire that surpasses the will of fire.

As long as the moon is used as a projection and illusion is used to control all intelligent creatures in the ninja world, everyone can be immersed in a beautiful dream and easily achieve permanent peace.

As for Obito's fear of Byakuya, it was what Uchiha Madara felt from Obito, and it was also the most incomprehensible thing for him.

Before he fell into a deep sleep, he designed Obito to awaken the Mangekyō, and left many Uchiha inheritances and family artifacts.

Logically speaking, as long as Obito can learn these inheritances and master the power of Kamui, he will be invincible in the ninja world. How can he be afraid of Bai Ye, who is the same age as him?

But he still clearly sensed Obito's fear and sighed softly in his heart.

Obito awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan and used his identity to be active in the ninja world for so many years, but he was still as cowardly as he was back then.

After taking a deep breath, Uchiha Madara looked at Black Zetsu and Obito and said lightly: "I will solve the matter of Bai Ye, let's talk about the collection of tailed beasts first."

Black Zetsu and Obito nodded, and then talked about the collection of tailed beasts.

Now, except for the four and five tails of the Hidden Rock Village and the eight tails of the Hidden Cloud Village, the rest of the tailed beasts and Jinchūriki are under the surveillance of the Akatsuki organization.

Most of the surveillance of the tailed beasts is related to Bai Ye. The only Jinchūriki that Obito really succeeded in hunting was the six-tailed Yugao, and all the others failed.

Uchiha Madara looked at Obito suspiciously, and his eyes gradually became strange.

Most of the targets in the Akatsuki organization were done by Bai Ye, and Obito began to doubt Bai Ye's loyalty to the Moon Eye Project, which was really unreasonable.

Even if he set out to find Bai Ye now, it seemed that he couldn't come up with too many reasons.

Moreover, compared with Obito, Bai Ye seemed to be a better partner. Did he really misjudge him at the beginning, so he gave up Bai Ye?

After understanding the situation of most Jinchūriki, Uchiha Madara slowly said: "Since most of the tailed beasts are under the control of Bai Ye, we don't have to rush to deal with the tailed beasts under Bai Ye's control."

"In the next few months, we will temporarily focus on the tailed beasts of Iwagakure and Kumogakure. If we control them before Bai Ye, we can also better grasp the initiative."

After listening to Uchiha Madara's words, Black Zetsu nodded repeatedly.

As the mastermind behind the Moon Eye Plan, Black Zetsu certainly does not want a civil strife to break out in the organization. If the strength is greatly reduced after the civil strife, the time for him to rescue his mother will be delayed for dozens or hundreds of years.

This is what Black Zetsu does not want to see.

Compared with Black Zetsu, Obito has a lot of dissatisfaction in his heart. He resurrected Uchiha Madara through the Impure World Reincarnation in order to make Uchiha Madara stand on his side. After all, he and Uchiha Madara have a very close relationship.

But this time, after Uchiha Madara was resurrected, his attitude towards him became much colder.

This made him feel very unhappy. After all, Uchiha Madara was very good to him, but now Uchiha Madara treats him more like a stranger.

Is it because of his actions over the years that made old man Madara disappointed?

If he could do better, he would not be able to avoid this situation.

No, everything he did was perfect. If Bai Ye had not intervened rashly, he could have set off a larger-scale Nine-Tails Rebellion.

The control of the Hidden Mist Village could have lasted longer, and he would not have escaped in disgrace.

All this was Bai Ye's fault. If Bai Ye could disappear, everything could be saved, and he could still implement the Moon Eye Plan.

What Obito didn't know was that Uchiha Madara's attitude became indifferent.

On the one hand, it was because Uchiha Madara had used Obito as a tool from the beginning, and on the other hand, Uchiha Madara heard about the night of genocide.

Although Uchiha Madara said that he didn't care about the Konoha Ninja Village, he actually cared a lot.

Uchiha Madara gnashed his teeth in hatred when he thought of Obito helping the descendants of Tobirama to deal with the Uchiha clan. If he was not restricted by Obito at the moment, he would have to carry out the Moon Eye Plan.

He would have taught Obito a lesson.

Now he should go north to the Land of Earth first, hunt the Four-Tails and the Five-Tails, and see if he can meet that kid Onoki. It has been a long time since he met an opponent who can fight.

…

When Uchiha Madara and others went north to Iwagakure Village, Danzo was not idle either.

Although his cognition had been modified by Uchiha Shisui, Danzo was still an excellent conspirator. After deciding to become the fifth Hokage, Danzo began to carry out a series of actions.

Danzo's biggest opponents on the road to Hokage are Jiraiya and Tsunade.

Jiraiya is supported by the Konoha Senior Ninja Class, and is also the ninja that Utatane Koharu and Mito Kado En strongly recommend. As long as Jiraiya is willing, he can easily become Hokage.

But Jiraiya is unwilling to serve as Hokage, which is good news for Danzo.

As for Tsunade who ran away from home, she could also easily become Hokage, but Tsunade, who suffered from hemophobia in her early years, has lost her qualifications as a ninja.

But no one knows whether hemophobia really exists. It is still very difficult to say whether it is an excuse for Tsunade to get rid of village affairs or whether she really suffers from hemophobia.

If Tsunade is unwilling to come back to serve as Hokage and continues to wander in the outside world, the fifth generation Hokage will naturally be in his pocket, and no one can snatch the position of Hokage from him.

But there is always a chance, if Tsunade really comes back.

With the huge reputation accumulated by Tsunade in the ninja world over the years and the identity of the granddaughter of the first generation Hokage, he has no way to compete with Tsunade.

Unless he can take the initiative, create a time difference, and become Hokage in advance.

But if you want to do this, you may need to rely on the power of many parties, on the one hand, delay Tsunade's return to the village, and on the other hand, join forces with the daimyo to quickly confirm the candidate for Hokage.

The former is not difficult, just send someone to lose money to Tsunade.

Tsunade couldn't resist the temptation of winning money.

What was a headache was the alliance with the daimyo. He had cooperated with the daimyo many times over the years and established many contacts in private. Both sides were in a state of mutual use.

The daimyo needed Danzo to limit the growing power of the Hokage and the ninja village.

Danzo also needed the help of the daimyo to fight against the pressure from the third generation of Hokage and let the root organization gain more benefits.

But it was only in the past. The daimyo needed to check and balance the third generation of Hokage with him and maintain the balance of power among the three parties.

But now, the third generation of Hokage is "dead", and many things will change.

He has a good relationship with the daimyo, but Tsunade and the daimyo are blood relatives. Will the daimyo really give up supporting Tsunade and support him to become Hokage?

Danzo had some doubts in his heart. There were too many unstable factors in this matter.

Although the daimyo of the Land of Fire might really support him and help him ascend to the position of Hokage, he would secretly contact the other Konoha jonin to check and balance himself as Hokage.

But what if the Fire Country Daimyo doesn't support it?

Is there a way to confirm that the Fire Country Daimyo is obedient enough?

Danzo thought of what happened in the Wind Country a few years ago. It was Shisui who reported it to him, saying that the Fourth Kazekage became a rebel and attacked the Wind Country Daimyo.

After the attack, the Daimyo of Wind Country, who was originally biased towards Konoha, became more honest and gradually resumed military funding support for Sand Village. From then on, he dared not interfere too much in Sand Village's affairs.

It's also very funny.

When the Fourth Kazekage Rasa was still the Kazekage, he would be suppressed or even humiliated by the Daimyo of Wind Country when he met with the Daimyo of Wind Country.

But after the Fourth Kazekage became a rebel, the Daimyo of Wind Country did not dare to speak loudly.

This incident undoubtedly gave Danzo a lot of inspiration. He wanted to become Hokage, so he naturally couldn't openly attack the Daimyo of Fire Country, but he could still launch a few conspiracies.

As long as the Daimyo of Fire Country could feel threatened and come forward to solve it himself, he would definitely be able to gain the favor and support of the Daimyo, and even directly control the Daimyo and the entire Fire Country.

Imitating the Hidden Rain Village and letting the Konoha Ninja Village annex the Fire Country in the future was also one of Danzo's goals.

The system of one country and one village was first proposed by the first generation of Hokage. Limited by the number of ninjas at that time, there was no big problem with the system of one country and one village.

The ninja village itself is the product of the ninja clans huddling together for warmth, with the purpose of protecting ninjas of various clans.

When the first generation of Hokage built the village, there were only one or two thousand ninjas in Konoha, all of whom were members of the ninja clan. This number of ninjas made it impossible for the ninja village to control the Fire Country even if it had the strongest armed forces in the Fire Country.

The reason is also very simple.

In the Warring States Period, ninjas were a profession that had to go to the battlefield at a few years old. Due to their age, it was very difficult for ninjas to learn the skills of killing, and they had no ability to learn other knowledge.

But with the establishment of the ninja village, the average life expectancy of ninjas has been greatly improved.

In order to cope with the upcoming Ninja World War, the second generation teacher even established a ninja school, turning ninjas from single thugs into all-round talents.

It was from this time that the relationship between the ninja village and the daimyo began to change.

Now the Shinobi Village has an absolute advantage over the Daimyo Prefecture, but the Daimyo Prefecture still controls the financial power, and even nominally has a higher status than the Shinobi Village.

Originally, because of convention, everyone tacitly accepted the system of one country and one village.

But by chance, the Hidden Rain Village was the first to break this unspoken rule, and led the Hidden Rain Village to glory, a height that did not belong to the Hidden Rain Village.

Therefore, if you want to make Konoha even greater, you must take action against the Daimyo Prefecture.
