Chapter 86 Bai Ye’s Strategy
Byakuya's words caused Hanzo to fall into a brief silence.
He didn't know why Byakuya disdained the name of Demigod. Although there was a big gap between Demigod and the God of Ninja, the name of Demigod brought real benefits to the Country of Rain.
Without this name, the Country of Rain would most likely be involved in this ninja war.
At that time, it will not be a civil war between the Akatsuki organization and Yuyin Village, but a great melee sweeping across several countries.
This is the role of reputation. Just the prestige of a 'demigod' is enough to deter those with evil intentions.
Bai Ye guessed Hanzo's thoughts and said with sly eyes:
"If the Rain Hidden Village only huddles in the Land of Rain, the name of demigod will naturally have more advantages than disadvantages. But if it wants to expand externally, the name of 'demigod' will actually become a drag."
"How can we develop and expand if everyone is afraid of 'demigods'?"
"What you said makes some sense..."
After pondering, Hanzo had to admit that Byakuya could see further than him. He just wanted to use his reputation as a demigod to protect the Kingdom of Rain, but this move aroused the fear of the major ninja villages.
During this ninja world war, he also had the idea of annexing the surrounding small ninja villages.
However, the Iwagakure and Konoha troops stationed at the border of Rain Country made him give up the idea of participating in the war, and lost his last enterprising spirit.
However, as a loser, Hanzo wanted to see Byakuya's views on the Land of Rain.
Bai Ye didn't hide it. After slowly stretching out two fingers, he directly stated the strategy he planned to implement in the future.
Simply put, Rain Country wants to stand out among the many ninja villages.
All you need to do is to accumulate food and slowly become the king. In layman's terms, it means vigorously developing infrastructure, military and economy. If you can be the last in the ninja war, you will be the last.
After listening to Bai Ye's strategic plan, Hanzo frowned and said: "Bai Ye, your idea is very good, but if we compete for development, Yuyin Village cannot compete with the five hidden villages."
This is also true. The Country of Rain is far inferior to the five major countries in terms of land area and population.
This is also the reason why the five major ninja villages have always been ahead of the other ninja villages. A sufficient population can give birth to enough ninjas, even if more ninjas are lost in the war than the entire Amegakure village.
The five major ninja villages can also be slowly replenished over time.
After listening to Hanzo's words, Byakuya showed a mysterious smile: "Yes, as long as the five great ninja villages don't fall into chaos, the Kingdom of Rain will never be able to compare with them."
"But this Ninja World War is about to end. What will they do after losing the external conflict?"
"They are in civil strife because of uneven distribution of benefits!"
Hanzo spoke the answer on Bai Ye's behalf. He had completely understood Bai Ye's thoughts. This was an aboveboard conspiracy, and all the Akatsuki organization needed to do was to lie dormant.
However, only Byakuya, Yahiko and others from the Akatsuki organization can do this.
Even if he knew this method, he couldn't implement it because he was already very old and might die in the hospital bed one day. Time was on Bai Ye's side.
After hearing the future strategy of the Akatsuki organization, Hanzo was no longer interested in the specific details.
It will take at least several years to implement Bai Ye's plan, and during these years, there will not be much turmoil in the Kingdom of Rain.
Now, all he needs to do is serve as an instructor in the Akatsuki organization as a dead person and silently manage Yuyin Village.
When Hanzo made a decision in his heart, Bai Ye also received rewards from the system.
[Hanzo joined the Akatsuki organization, and you obtained the Hanzo Fluid Technique]
[Hanzo joined the Akatsuki organization, and you received water escape, water instant, and a high-level water escape gift package]
[Hanzo joined the Akatsuki organization, and you got Sanshou fish seedlings]
A series of rewards made Bai Ye very satisfied.
The gains that Hanzo brought to him by joining the Akatsuki organization even exceeded those of Yuyin Village's joining the Akatsuki organization.
But think about it, Amegakure Village itself is very weak, and it has always been supported by Hanzo to maintain its reputation as the sixth largest ninja village.
In the original plot, after losing a series of shadow-level powerhouses such as Hanzo, Nagato, and Konan, the Kingdom of Rain was brought back to its original shape and completely reduced to a place of chaos.
After receiving the reward, Bai Ye rubbed out the wood escape seeds with his hands and handed them to Hanzo.
Looking at the Mudun Seed in Bai Ye's hand, Hanzo's face turned ugly, but he still swallowed it.
"Bai Ye, do you really not believe me? Are you still using this method?"
Byakuya watched Hanzo swallow it and said seriously: "Teacher Hanzo, this is good for you and me. I'm not a hot-blooded idiot like Yahiko. I have to have a back-up for everything."
Hanzo's face darkened, and his good impression of Bai Ye also dissipated a lot.
However, with such scheming and methods, it seems that the Akatsuki organization will not be left behind by others like him.
This time, he just misjudged the person and was betrayed by Danzo.
Otherwise, if he and Danzo, the Hokage's assistant, join forces, at least this battle will not be lost so miserably!
And if it weren't for Danzo's bewitchment, he wouldn't even be able to take action against the Akatsuki organization.
Thinking of this, Hanzo's face turned serious and he said to Bai Ye:
"By the way, there is one more important thing I forgot to tell you. Danzo, who is cooperating with me, may still be in the Land of Rain."
"You may not know Danzo. Danzo is Konoha's Hokage advisor and has a similar status in Konoha..."
Having said this, Hanzo paused and glanced at Bai Ye.
Byakuya ignored Hanzo's eyes, shook his head and said: "Teacher Hanzo, you mean Danzo-senpai? I know him!"
"Danzo-senpai?!"
Hanzo noticed Byakuya's address to Danzo, and his face started to look strange.
Is there still a connection between Byakuya and Danzo? The person who really cooperates with Danzo shouldn't be Byakuya.
Bai Ye nodded slightly and then said:
"It's senior. Like Hanzo-sensei, Danzo-senpai is also someone I respect. When I was still weak, Danzo-senpai invested in me and gave me a lot of help."
"Later, Danzo-senpai also provided many plans to seize power and helped me become the leader of the Akatsuki organization. He was an amiable and good senior. The last time we met, he ran away too fast, otherwise I would still want to reminisce with him."
"After all, if it weren't for him, I probably wouldn't be the leader of the Akatsuki organization now."
"Senior, let's reminisce..."
After hearing the keyword, Hanzo breathed a sigh of relief.
He roughly guessed Byakuya's experience. Danzo might have wanted to take advantage of Byakuya just like him before, but was killed by Byakuya and was forced to escape from the Kingdom of Rain.
As for what Bai Ye said about respect and reminiscing about the past, he always listened to it the other way around.
Byakuya must have already thought of a way to deal with Danzo. There is no need for him to worry too much about this. He should think about how to retire in the Akatsuki organization.
The age of demigods has passed.
