Become the mastermind behind the Akatsuki organization

In addition to Yahiko and Nagato, Black Zetsu is also secretly observing Byakuya.

Yesterday, when Bai Ye suddenly approached Bai Ze, he was worried that Bai Ze's identity would be exposed. However, he was relieved to find that Bai Ye had planted curse seals on all ninjas except the root spy.

At the same time, he was also secretly glad that he did not send Bai Zetsu directly, but possessed him inside the ninja's body. Otherwise, judging from the difference in structure between Bai Zetsu and the human body, the existence of Bai Zetsu might have been exposed.

As for Bai Ye's behavior of using curse seals to control his subordinates, Hei Jue has long been accustomed to it.

There are many organizations and families in the ninja world that use similar methods to control their subordinates, but loose organizations like the Akatsuki organization are in the minority.

However, after observing Bai Ye these days and reading Bai Ye's diary, Heijiang became suspicious of Bai Ye's identity.

In the version circulated within the Akatsuki organization, Byakuya is a homeless orphan who comes from an ordinary ninja family and joins the Akatsuki organization by chance.

There is no problem with the status of an orphan, but it is absolutely impossible for an ordinary ninja family.

Judging from the methods and talents shown by Bai Ye, Bai Ye's parents are at least Jonin, and they are related to the destroyed country of Whirlpool.

Bai Ye didn't join the Akatsuki organization because of luck, but the result of careful planning.

He joined the Akatsuki organization because of Nagato, because Nagato was his clansman, and the same reason was true for rescuing Karin. The purpose was to collect the Uzumaki clan members wandering around the ninja world.

And after collecting the Uzumaki clan members, what will Bai Ye do next?

Hei Jue had made speculations before, but after seeing Bai Ye using the curse seal to control the spies, he was completely convinced of his suspicions.

As a senior member of the Akatsuki organization, Bai Ye secretly cultivated a private army and colluded with foreign forces for a simple reason.

That is, Bai Ye wants the destroyed Kingdom of Whirlpool to be rebuilt in the Kingdom of Rain. Apart from this, Black can't think of any other possibility.

However, it is very rare for an orphan who escaped from the Kingdom of Whirlpool to be able to do this.

This reminded Hei Jue of his experiences in the past thousand years. He had also been working hard to resurrect his mother, and now he finally saw hope.

In this respect, he is very similar to Bai Ye.

The only difference is that no one knows about his plan, and Byakuya's plan has been known to him. If he can grasp Byakuya's desire to restore the country, he can gain a chess piece second only to Uchiha Madara.

In this way, even if Uchiha Madara's plan fails, he can make Byakuya a sacrifice to resurrect the Ten-Tails Jinchuuriki.

After all, from a bloodline perspective, Byakuya is no worse than Nagato of the same clan, and he also has considerable ambitions.

However, this backup plan cannot be rushed yet.

If Madara finds out something is wrong, the gain outweighs the loss.

…

In the Kingdom of Grass, Konoha Camp.

After Konoha won the Battle of Kannabi Bridge, the atmosphere in the camp became noticeably more relaxed.

Everyone knows that although the war between Iwagakure and the village is not over yet, it is no longer possible to engage in a large-scale war, and it is only a matter of time before a peace agreement is signed.

However, this is for the chuunin genin, and for the frontline commander Jiraiya, this battlefield is far from over, and it may restart at any time, so there must be no carelessness.

At this moment, Namikaze Minato walked into the command room with Kakashi and Nohara Rin.

Seeing his disciple and grandson, Jiraiya put down his official duties and asked, "Minato, why are you here? Do you have any important information to report?"

Minato shook his head and said, "Jiraiya-sensei, I'm not looking for you, it's someone else."

Hearing this, Jiraiya looked at Kakashi and Nohara Rin. The latter quickly handed over the letter in his hand and said:

"Jiraiya-sama, this is given to us by the Ninja from the Land of Rain, saying that we want to show it to you."

"Rain Country Ninja?"

Jiraiya frowned, thinking of Sansho Hanzo.

If Sansho Hanzo intervenes in the war between Konoha and Iwagakure at this time, the future direction will be confusing.

However, after receiving the letter, Jiraiya had a faint smile on his face.

Because there was a cute frog mark drawn on the envelope, and this method of sending letters was what he taught Yahiko, Konan and Nagato.

After opening the letter, Jiraiya began to read it carefully word for word, and the smile on his face became more and more radiant.

After seeing Jiraiya's smile, Namikaze Minato said, "Jiraiya-sensei, this letter should be from Yahiko and the others."

Jiraiya nodded slightly, smiled and said:

"Yeah, I didn't expect that they would actually accomplish something in the Country of Rain, and they would realize what I once said."

"That's a good thing. The village can have another ally in the Kingdom of Rain."

Namikaze Minato also smiled.

Hearing the conversation between Jiraiya and Namikaze Minato, Kakashi and Nohara Rin frowned. They didn't know what Minato-sensei and Jiraiya-sama were talking about.

Wasn't the letter sent by the ninja of Amegakure Village?

Namikaze Minato noticed the two people's doubts and quickly explained: "Kakashi, Lin, do you remember the Rain Country ninjas you met a few months ago? They also participated in the rescue of Lin later."

Of course Kakashi and Lin remember it, but what does this Jiraiya-sama have to do with him?

Namikaze Minato then added: "Yahiko, Nagato and Konan, they are all disciples of Jiraiya teacher, and they established an organization called Akatsuki in the Land of Rain."

"Akatsuki Organization?"

Kakashi was stunned, and then said: "I remember Byakuya mentioned that he wanted to recruit Obito and me that time, but we rejected it. It turned out that it was an organization established by Lord Jiraiya's apprentice."

Past memories also appeared in Nohara Lin’s mind:

"So, when Byakuya reminded Obito not to step on the detonating talisman, was it because they knew our identities?"

"That's probably the case, otherwise they would have no reason to help the ninjas from other villages..."

"Oh, Obito..."

When mentioning the past, Kakashi and Nohara Rin always inevitably mention Obito, their voices full of regret and regret.

Namikaze Minato and Jiraiya were also infected by the atmosphere and fell silent for a long time.

After a while, Namikaze Minato said: "Don't mention the past anymore. Obito is the hero on the commemorative monument. After this war is over, let's go back together to worship him."

Jiraiya was not familiar with Obito, but he comforted Kakashi and Nohara Rin a few words.

At this time, Kakashi seemed to remember something and asked: "By the way, Master Jiraiya, do you know Byakuya? He seems to be the leading figure in the Akatsuki organization as well?"

"Byakuya?" Jiraiya shook his head slightly: "I don't know him, but he was mentioned many times in the letter. He should be a very interesting person, but Yahiko seemed to have a headache when he mentioned him."
