Chapter 44 Bai Ye vs Aburame Ryoma

After the trip to the black market, Byakuya secretly observed Shigure for a few days.

By the way, he used carrots and sticks (promising secret techniques and curse seal control) to control a few wandering ninjas from outside and let them keep an eye on Shigure's movements.

As for why they are not allowed to join the Akatsuki organization and become official members of the Akatsuki organization.

It can only be said that among the group of ninjas, those who agree with Yahiko's philosophy are an absolute minority. Only ninjas who were born in the Land of Rain and have experienced war and misfortune can understand each other, and after developing empathy, they are willing to join the Akatsuki organization.

Once beyond the scope of the Rain Country, Yahiko's set of ideas will be of little use.

Just like the princess of the great ninja clan in the first ninja village cannot understand the survivors of the subjugated country, ninjas from different ninja villages cannot understand each other's practices and cannot truly integrate into an organization.

After all, each other's demands and expectations are completely different, unless there is a threat that forces them to unite.

Of course, the most important thing is that Bai Ye wants to cultivate a force that belongs only to him. He does not need to report to others or let other senior officials know about anything he wants to do.

In this way, even if there are any major changes in the future, he will have the capital to make a comeback.

He has developed a habit of having a backup plan before doing anything.

In the past few days, Xiao Nan visited many nearby towns and villages. While recording prices, he also used help to complete some commissions for free.

It can be regarded as making up for the ordinary people they harmed when they were wandering.

If it weren't for her petty theft skills, she, Nagato, and Yahiko would have starved to death in the wild and would not have survived to establish the Akatsuki organization.

On the way back to the agreed place, Xiao Nan saw Bai Ye holding a straw in his mouth, and a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes.

Bai Ye was still as elusive as before, and no one was seen all day long.

Moreover, it was clearly Bai Ye who took over the investment task, but he had always been doing the investment industry matters by himself, and he didn’t know where Bai Ye spent his money.

"Senior Xiaonan, you are finally back."

After saying hello to Xiaonan, Bai Ye followed Xiaonan silently.

At this time, Xiaonan couldn't help but asked: "Baiye, where have you gone to? How much money do you have left?"

"secret…"

Byakuya put his hands on the back of his head and said nonchalantly: "I'm going to take money to bribe the Jonin of Rain Hidden Village and organize activities in the Land of Rain. I have to rely on these people to help hide it."

"Buying a Jonin..." Xiaonan was speechless. Is it so easy to bribe a Jonin?

As long as a ninja has no bottom line, it is very convenient to make money, but people without a bottom line can't do anything even if they receive money. This is a complete waste of money.

But then I thought about it, Bai Ye couldn't give away money for free.

The greater possibility is that he was directly embezzled by Bai Ye, but Bai Ye should not be short of money. Like himself, he has the ability to mass-produce detonating talismans.

Just when Xiaonan wanted to say something more, Bai Ye suddenly made a hissing gesture, his face became serious, and he pointed at the woods on both sides of the road.

The next moment, there was a sound that cut through the air.

The kunai with the detonating talisman attached was shot between Byakuya and Konan, and exploded directly.

In the firelight and smoke, Bai Ye and Xiao Nan were forced to distance themselves and looked at the four-man ninja team approaching them.

The ninja team is all dressed in black and wearing hidden animal masks. They look like cold killers.

After the two sides stared at each other for half a second, the ninja team launched another attack.

After one of them took out a short sword and charged forward, the other three went around to the side and threw shurikens with wires, forming an imperceptible wire trap, restricting Bai Ye and Konan's movements.

At the same time, the four-person team took out the kunai detonating talisman and threw it again.

An ordinary jounin might find it difficult to resist this combination of attacks, but for Konan and Byakuya, who have mastered the secret technique of paper escape, escaping the trap couldn't be easier.

After turning his body into countless pieces of paper, Xiaonan flew into the air and looked down at the enemy at his feet.

Countless shurikens fell like raindrops, instantly defeating the four-man team.

After the ninja team looked at each other, their eyes showed obvious fear, and then they ran away in the direction they came from, and soon disappeared into the forest.

Looking at the ninja team fleeing in the distance, Konan frowned.

She thought she had never provoked anyone, so why did a ninja suddenly attack her and Bai Ye? Was the Akatsuki organization being targeted, or was it related to Bai Ye?

"Bai Ye, do you know these people?"

Of course Byakuya knew him. With his animal mask and such a distinctive fighting method, he was obviously a member of Konoha's ANBU. It was hard to tell whether he was an ANBU or a root member.

But in front of Xiaonan, Bai Ye still shook his head and said:

"I don't know them either, but after catching them and interrogating them, I can get the answers I want."

Xiaonan hesitated for half a second, and then agreed to Bai Ye's proposal.

This group of ninjas is obviously not ordinary wandering ninjas. Ordinary ninjas definitely do not have such strength and execution ability. It would be okay if they just meet by chance.

But if it's against the Akatsuki organization, we have to follow the clues and figure out the situation.

After making eye contact, Bai Ye and Xiaonan rushed into the dense forest and chased the attacker in the direction of escape.

…

Not long after Xiaonan left, Bai Ye's body, which was left behind, looked at the bushes not far away and said coldly:

"Stop hiding, I've seen it a long time ago."

As early as when the ninja team launched the attack just now, he had sensed the enemy hiding in secret.

However, the other party didn't have much chakra, so he didn't say anything, but waited until Xiaonan left before revealing the other party's location.

After a few breaths, Aburame Ryoma walked out of the bushes and looked at Bai Ye.

He was originally thinking about how to separate Xiaonan and Baiye, but he didn't expect that the other party actually stayed alone and took the initiative to create an opportunity for conversation.

"Byakuya of the Akatsuki organization, I am..."

Just when Aburame Ryoma was about to say something, Byakuya took the lead in launching an attack and appeared next to Aburame Ryoma. The paper shuriken condensed into shape and shot towards Aburame Ryoma's face.

Aburame Ryoma narrowly dodged the shuriken and looked at Byakuya with a more solemn look.

According to the information, isn't Byakuya just an ordinary chuunin? Judging from the mastery of this taijutsu and secret technique, it is not just a chuunin level. The information on the black market is still unreliable after all.

He raised his sleeves and let the poisonous insects fly out from the sleeves. The poisonous insects like smoke enveloped the paper shuriken.

Then it flew in the direction of Bai Ye. At this moment, the shuriken covered by poisonous insects burst into flames. In the high temperature and shock wave of the explosion, the poisonous insects fell to the ground one by one.

Seeing this scene, Aburame Ryoma broke into a few drops of cold sweat.

Judging from the past few battles, Byakuya is definitely a jounin, and he is not a parallel import of jounin. Why is there such a master in such a little-known organization as the Akatsuki organization.

However, it was still within his acceptance range, and his real trump card was physical skills.

After taking off the gloves to prevent accidental injuries to teammates, Aburame Ryoma revealed his purple palms and activated the teleportation technique to appear next to Byakuya.

Byakuya reached out to catch it without looking back, and punched Ryoma Aburame back several meters.

Although he was knocked away, a faint smile appeared on Aburame Ryoma's lips. He won this battle. Next, he only needed to help detoxify and negotiate with Bai Ye.

However, the next moment, the smile on the corner of Aburame Ryoma's mouth froze.
