Chapter 189 Bai Ye's Ambition

After hearing how Byakuya usurped the position of leader of the Hidden Rain Village, Shisui fell into deep thought.

Before this, he really didn't know the history of the rise of Byakuya, Yahiko and others, and he really thought that Byakuya was valued by Hanzo of the Salamander, so he was chosen as the heir of the Hidden Rain Village.

But unexpectedly, this was just the rhetoric used by the Hidden Rain Village to promote itself to the outside world, and the real situation was a rebellion.

However, after the rebellion overthrew the rule of Salamander Hanzo, in order to stabilize the situation, Bai Ye and others did not kill Salamander Hanzo directly, but made him lose power.

Thinking of this, Shisui began to feel confused again, and even the Mangekyō Sharingan could not help him see the way forward clearly.

Can't the tribe members not pursue becoming Hokage? Why do they want to become Hokage? There are not many benefits to becoming Hokage.

Why can't we live in harmony with other ninjas in the village?

At this time, Shisui seemed to remember something and said to Bai Ye: "Didn't you say last time that Uchiha's pursuit of the position of Hokage would bring misfortune? Why did you share your experience of coup d'état with my people this time?"

Bai Ye said meaningfully: "Becoming Hokage is the will of Uchiha. Unless they encounter a severe blow, it is impossible for Uchiha to give up becoming Hokage."

"A heavy blow?" Shisui asked in confusion, he was eager to know the answer.

Bai Ye stretched out his finger, pointed in the direction of the Uchiha camp, and then pointed at himself:
"The Uzumaki clan once believed that Konoha was a good ally. It was not until they encountered the crisis of national destruction that the remaining clan members realized that Konoha could not be trusted."

"If the Uchiha clan encounters a crisis of extinction, the remaining clan members will become more sober."

"Crisis of genocide?" Shisui frowned.

If the Uchiha clan really faced a crisis of extinction, the remaining members would indeed give up on becoming Hokage, but this price would be too heavy, and from the current perspective, the Uchiha clan is not in danger of extinction.

At this time, Bai Ye said meaningfully: "Under normal circumstances, the Uchiha will naturally not encounter the crisis of genocide, but if you Uchiha try to launch a coup, it will be different."

"Judging from the current trend, the probability of you Uchiha launching a coup in the future is not low."

"In order to leave a few sparks for you Uchiha, why not send some of the weaker clansmen to me, so that they won't end up dying and their clans destroyed."

After hearing this, Shisui was stunned, and then stared at Bai Ye.

After testing for so long, Bai Ye's true colors were finally revealed. Bai Ye cared so much about the Uchiha clan, and it turned out that he coveted the bloodline of the Sharingan.

But unlike others who want to seize the Sharingan, Bai Ye wants the entire Uchiha clan.

That's why he kept running into me by chance, and kept instilling in me the idea that the Uchiha couldn't become Hokage and that he would stage a coup sooner or later.

But the most terrifying thing is that what Bai Ye said is true, and it is the reality happening within the tribe.

After pondering for a moment, Shisui gently shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Master Baiye, I can't influence the thoughts of other clan members, let alone send them to the Hidden Rain Village."

"It doesn't matter. You will figure it out sooner or later. You will understand it after this battle is over."

Bai Ye did not take Shisui's rejection to heart. If he could easily seduced a big family like the Uchiha family through talking, Konoha would have fallen apart long ago.

Konoha is a village founded by two idealists and has their own beliefs.

No matter how great the pressure is, it cannot change the Uchiha's obsession with Konoha and Hokage, unless the Uchiha's faith collapses.

After chatting with Shisui for a while, Byakuya temporarily left the Uchiha camp and glanced at Shisui before leaving.

He was not worried that Shisui would make his words public. He was Hanzo's disciple, a close friend of Yahiko, Konan and others, and the one Konoha was trying to win over. But who was Shisui? Just a restless Uchiha.

Even if Shisui ran to the Hokage Building and repeated his words to the Konoha high-level officials, the only person who truly doubted him was probably Danzo Shimura.

But there is no need to say much about Danzo's attitude towards Uchiha.

……

In the next few weeks, Bai Ye traveled back and forth between the border of the Fire Country and the Konoha camp from time to time, hunting down lone Cloud Ninja teams while establishing good relations with the Konoha Jonin.

With his strong strength and medical ninjutsu, he got to know quite a few Konoha jonin.

One day two weeks later, the ring on Bai Ye's hand felt hot, and then he received information from Scorpion of the Red Sand and Kakuzu.

This was not the first time he had received information from Sasori and Kakuzu.

During the days when they were working on their own, Sasori and Kakuzu also hunted down quite a few Cloud Ninjas.

Scorpion and Kakuzu's behavior of hunting Cloud Ninjas attracted the attention of the Cloud Ninja high-level officials.

After seeing the information sent by Sasori and Kakuzu for the first time, Bai Ye's expression became strange, and he lamented that the ninja world was so vast and full of wonders.

After several failed sieges, the top leaders of Kumogakure came up with the idea of ​​recruiting Sasori and Kakuzu. After all, wandering ninjas worked for money, so instead of going to great lengths to launch a siege, it would be better to directly recruit the two.

Faced with this proposal, Scorpion and Horn were actually tempted and came over to ask for his opinion.

After a little thought, Bai Ye gave an ambiguous answer. He neither opposed nor agreed, and tacitly approved of Scorpion and Kakuzu's actions.

Arranging Sasori and Kakuzu to become Kumogakure mercenaries can not only weaken Konoha's strength on the front battlefield, but also get close to obtaining information about Kumogakure's movements and prepare for their next plan.

He went to the front lines of Konoha and Kumogakure at great lengths, not just to earn bounties and recruit Uchiha, but also to make the Akatsuki organization famous and become a well-known organization in the ninja world.

The information sent by Scorpion and Kaku this time was very simple, and it recorded the situation at the Hidden Cloud Camp.

First of all, the Kumogakure side did not reveal the news of the disappearance of the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, and the Kumogakure ninjas all thought that Yukito was out on a mission.

Secondly, in recent weeks, the number of ninjas near the Hidden Cloud Camp has increased significantly.

These two pieces of information made Bai Ye fall into deep thought.

Kumogakure probably didn't reveal the news of the disappearance of the two-tail in order to stabilize the morale of the army, and the increase in the number of Kumogakure frontline ninjas indicates that Kumogakure will make big moves in the future.

Combined with the decrease in the number of patrols by the Yunyin team in the past few days, Bai Ye came to a conclusion in his mind.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Fourth Raikage, who has strong limbs and a rather smart mind, is planning to have a head-on battle with Konoha.

This is not a good thing for the Akatsuki organization. Only a long-term war can consume the strength of Konoha and Kumogakure to the maximum extent.

But the Hidden Cloud Village obviously had no intention of delaying the war, and the Hidden Rain Village was not in a position to intervene in this war.

However, the fact that the Hidden Rain Village cannot interfere in the war between Konoha and the Hidden Cloud Village does not mean that the Akatsuki organization cannot take action against the surrounding small ninja villages during this period.

Thinking of this, Bai Ye looked at the ring in his hand and gave orders to the Akatsuki organization.
