Chapter 393 Return to the Hidden Rain Village

After reading the delegation document several times, the Third Hokage fell silent.

Before, he thought Shisui was Danzo's puppet, but now it seems that Danzo is just Shisui's puppet. What Danzo has done these days is just to provide Shisui with an opportunity to come to the front.

After taking a deep breath, the Third Hokage looked up at Uchiha Shisui and said:

"Shisui, you won the battle between the guard and the Hokage Building in the end, but I'm curious about one thing. Who is the ninja standing behind you? He actually knows me and Danzo so well."

Shisui glanced at the Third Hokage and said expressionlessly: "Sandai, didn't I tell you? I have transformed since the day I was attacked by Danzo. These plans were made by me alone, without anyone else." Two people participated.”

Seeing Shisui denying it, the Third Hokage became even more suspicious.

He knew what kind of ninja Shisui was. If there was no interference from external factors, as long as peace could be maintained between the village and the police, even if he ordered Shisui to die, Shisui would obediently execute it.

That innocent and kind-hearted Shisui could not turn into a conspirator who surpassed Danzo overnight.

After sighing softly, the Third Hokage continued to test: "Shisui, now that you have reached this point, do you still need to hide it from me? Even if the art of reincarnation in the dirty soil can make the dead speak."

"But with the ninja skills behind you, you can probably stop the dead man from speaking."

Shisui looked at the Third Hokage and secretly thought that the Third Hokage was indeed an old fox. Even in difficult situations, he could think and guess that there were other ninjas and forces behind him.

Seeing that Shisui remained silent, the Third Hokage continued his analysis: "The ninja behind you doesn't seem to want to destroy Konoha. He didn't take advantage of Konoha's collapse plan to destroy Konoha Ninja Village. He just asked me to withdraw and then stopped."

"So I speculate that the person behind your scenes is probably not a ninja from Iwagakure or Kumogakure."

"The national power of Kirigakure and Sunagakure is relatively weak, but a civil strife broke out in their villages not long ago, and they have no ability to organize an unrest in Konoha Ninja Village."

"And I have a vague feeling that the Honkai Impact plan that happened in Konoha this time is not much different from the Sunagakure turmoil and Kirigakure turmoil. It may be another contest between the Akatsuki organization and the masked man."

"I just don't know whether the force behind you is the Akatsuki organization or the masked man."

After hearing the analysis of the Third Hokage, Shisui started to sweat a little. He stared at the Third Hokage closely, as if he was looking at a monster.

The Third Hokage showed a helpless smile: "Don't be wary of me, I am just a prisoner of you and the people behind you. Even if I know something, I can't stir up any trouble."

"It's ridiculous to say that."

"When I stayed in the Hokage Building as the Hokage, I had to deal with all kinds of official duties on weekdays. I was overwhelmed by a lot of information. I didn't even have time to analyze things seriously. I could only become a puppet in the Hokage's position."

"And after staying here and becoming a prisoner, I gradually became aware of the truth."

"Perhaps this is because the authorities are obsessed with the onlookers."

When he said this, the Third Hokage looked around and suddenly shouted: "The ninja hiding behind the scenes, why don't you come out and meet me? I want to know the future of Konoha and the ninja world from you."

After hearing this, Shisui's expression changed slightly, and the joy in his heart disappeared.

He defeated the Third Hokage and Danzo Shimura, but he did not rely on his own efforts, but relied on Lord Byakuya's guidance. It was Lord Byakuya who truly defeated the Third Hokage and Danzo.

After hearing the voice of the Third Hokage, Byakuya, who was hiding in the dark, also appeared.

This time, Bai Ye did not put on any disguise, and just let his true body appear in front of the Third Hokage so openly.

The Third Hokage was extremely surprised when he saw that the visitor was Byakuya.

He thought that the ninja behind the scenes was a masked man, but he didn't expect that it was him who personally invited the guest, Byakuya, which he couldn't accept for a while.

After a few minutes, the Third Hokage accepted this reality and looked up at Byakuya:

"Why didn't I expect it to be you? Why did you attack the Konoha Ninja Village? When did Shisui and Orochimaru become your allies?"

Bai Ye shook his head and then said:

"Sandaime-sama, I want to correct something. Orochimaru and Shisui are both my subordinates, and is it strange to attack Konoha in my capacity?"

"Sandaime-sama seems to have forgotten my identity as a descendant of Uzumaki."

The Third Hokage's face changed slightly, and then he said:

"Is it because of what happened in Uzushio Village? There is a reason why Konoha did not send troops to support Uzushio Village. Konoha was under siege at that time. By the time we solved the problem and went to support, Uzushio Village had already perished."

Bai Ye nodded and said: "Of course I know this, and I also understand the difficulties of the Konoha Ninja Village."

The Third Hokage was a little confused and asked: "Since you don't hate Konoha, why do you attack Konoha Ninja Village? I remember that there should be no conflict between Konoha and Amegakure Village."

Byakuya looked at the Third Hokage with a puzzled expression: "When did I attack the Konoha Ninja Village?"

"Didn't you have a shadow on the night of the Uchiha genocide and this Konoha collapse plan? Without you, would Shisui and Orochimaru dare to join forces to formulate a Konoha collapse plan?"

The Third Hokage stared at Byakuya, very dissatisfied with Byakuya's attitude.

Bai Ye chuckled softly and said: "Shisui is my friend, do you want me to watch my friend be killed by his stupidity and naivety? Besides, if Danzo had not taken action against Shisui, he would have been stopped Does water kill you?"

"You should ask Danzo why he attacked Shisui?"

"If he had not taken action against Shisui, would the conflict between Uchiha and Konoha have been alleviated and would not have reached the most extreme situation?"

The Third Hokage was silent for a while and said: "This is my responsibility, but why did you hook up with Orochimaru? He is a rebel wanted by Konoha."

"..." Bai Ye pondered for a while, then said:

"I originally didn't plan to contact Orochimaru, but he attacked me one day and was almost beaten to death by me. Why did he volunteer to become my subordinate to save his life? He has also done a lot of things for me over the years."

"As for why we attacked Konoha, this is a matter between your master and disciple, and has nothing to do with me."

Byakuya's words left the Third Hokage speechless. The connection between Byakuya and Orochimaru was too strange, but Orochimaru's personality would really attack a young genius like Byakuya.

It's just that Byakuya's iron plate is so hard that even Orochimaru himself broke into it.

The Third Hokage then asked: "Why did you attack Danzo? He probably didn't offend you."

Hearing this, Bai Ye showed a kind smile.

"The Third Hokage should know about Danzo's actions in the Country of Rain. Guess whether Danzo and I were friends or enemies when he was in the Country of Rain."

"I have been waiting for Konoha's explanation on this, but you have been avoiding it."

"..." The Third Hokage was completely speechless. Danzo attacked the Akatsuki organization in Amegakure Village, and now it is natural that he was killed by the Akatsuki organization. There is no fault in it.

After a moment of silence, the Third Hokage asked the question again: "Byakuya, how do you plan to treat the Konoha Ninja Village in the future?"

Byakuya glanced at Shisui, then looked back at the Third Hokage:

"With Shisui here, I don't plan to attack the Konoha Ninja Village. I will also focus on dealing with the masked man. His actions threaten the safety of the Ninja World and must be stopped."

"But I remember that there are no tailed beasts in your Yuyin Village."

"Sandaime-sama, I remember wrongly. There are tailed beasts in Amegakure Village. Even if there were no tailed beasts in Amegakure Village in the past, there should be tailed beasts now."

The Third Hokage seemed to remember something and said: "You also attacked the tailed beasts? Is it possible that the seven tails of Longyin Village are already in your hands?"

After realizing this, the Third Hokage didn't react much.

When the First Master allocated tailed beasts, he considered the average strength of the major ninja villages. With the current strength of Amegakure Village, it is indeed qualified to obtain a tailed beast.

Byakuya did not deny the Third Hokage, nor did he explicitly say that Amegakure Village owned Nanao.

After answering so many questions, Byakuya also lost interest in continuing to chat with the Third Hokage. After helping Shisui to the front desk, he also lost the reason to continue staying in Konoha Ninja Village.

Konoha Ninja Village is different from other Ninja Villages. It is very difficult to support Shisui to the position of Hokage.

Instead of focusing a lot of energy on conquering the Konoha Ninja Village, it is better to focus on Naruto and Sasuke. Both of them will have super shadow level strength in the future and can defeat a Ninja Village alone.

…

One and a half months after the Chunin Examination, Byakuya finally returned to Amegakure Village.

Just after returning to Amegakure Village, Byakuya was called to Amegakure Building and held a high-level meeting.

The content of the high-level meeting was very simple, mainly discussing the Chunin Examination, Konoha's collapse plan and the subsequent Danzo rebellion.

Seeing Byakuya sitting upright in his seat, Yahiko felt a headache.

Before Byakuya went to Konoha Ninja Village to take the Chunin Exam, he had an ominous premonition in his mind, feeling that Byakuya's trip would definitely cause a lot of trouble.

As expected, something happened in Konoha Ninja Village.

First, the Third Hokage was attacked by Orochimaru and died, and then Danzo died on the eve of the coup. These two were both old men in the ninja world, and their deaths meant a lot to the Amegakure Village.

It doesn't seem like it's a big deal.

The Third Hokage has ruled Konoha for decades and is the longest-ruling ninja in the entire history of Konoha. He has played an unpredictable role in the development of the ninja world.

But his death really had little impact on Yuyin Village.

The reason why Amegakure Village maintains a good relationship with Konoha is because of Jiraiya, not because of the Third Hokage. As long as nothing happens to Jiraiya, there will be no conflict between Amegakure Village and Konoha.

As for Shimura Danzo's death, they were more happy.

This ninja who once caused the Akatsuki organization to suffer a huge crisis finally died in the hands of the Konoha Ninja Village in the name of treason. The only thing they regretted was that they could not kill Danzo with their own hands.

However, Danzo is already dead, and the next thing to consider is how to deal with Konoha relations.

After the death of the Third Hokage, the position of Hokage will definitely fall to Mr. Jiraiya or Tsunade Hime. No matter who becomes Hokage, they will strengthen their cooperation with Amegakure Village.

But the future of Yuyin Village can no longer tolerate this false peace.

Sooner or later, the Ame Hidden Village and the Akatsuki organization will establish a ninja alliance and even become a unified country. And the Konoha Ninja Village is bound to become a major obstacle in the future of the Akatsuki organization.

From this aspect, it may not be a good thing for Jiraiya-sensei to become Hokage.

With Jiraiya's ability, he will definitely unite Konoha and bring out the full power of Konoha Ninja Village, fully demonstrating the advantages of size and population.

Yahiko and others don't want to see Jiraiya on the battlefield.

But if Akatsuki doesn't take action against Konoha, the Nine-Tails will definitely be taken away by the masked man first, and the masked man will be the one to deal with Konoha, and the ninja world will face a greater crisis.

As if seeing Yahiko's thoughts, Bai Ye said: "Yahiko, we may not take action against Konoha. As long as the masked man can show enough threat, the ninja world can still unite together."

After hearing this, Yahiko and Nagato's faces recovered a lot.

However, how to find a common enemy in the ninja world? The threat currently shown by the masked man is extremely limited. It may make a single ninja village alert, but it is still very powerless against a large ninja village.

And there is a more critical problem in front of us.

An enemy that is enough to threaten the ninja world can indeed unite all ninja villages, but when this threat is resolved, the ninja world will return to the situation of mutual intrigue.

Thinking of this, Yahiko and Nagato subconsciously looked at Bai Ye, expecting Bai Ye to solve the problem.

This time, Bai Ye did not tell the others what he thought, and quietly left the meeting room. It seemed that even he did not have any good solution.

Seeing Bai Ye's back as he left, Yahiko and Nagato also realized that Bai Ye was not omnipotent.

Some things still need them to think about it themselves, and Bai Ye could not provide them with answers.

If Bai Ye knew their thoughts, he would not be very upset. Compared with ninjas like Yahiko and Nagato who truly possessed the will of fire, he did not have much feeling for these concepts.

He just provided Yahiko, Nagato and others with a way for Akatsuki to grow rapidly.

After all, the strength of Akatsuki directly determines his own strength, and no one can stop him from becoming stronger.

And he left at this time not because of the problem of Yahiko and Nagato, but because he noticed the traces of White Zetsu Afuku.

Just now Afuku sent him a signal, telling him that Black Zetsu had something important to contact him, and Black Zetsu would not contact him casually unless there was something important.
