Chapter 113 The next target is Konoha

Seeing Kakuzu's puzzled look, Bai Ye patiently explained:

"Senior Kakuzu, our Akatsuki organization is a peace organization dedicated to peaceful development and promoting exchanges between the five major ninja villages. In order to achieve this goal, we may use some unconventional means in the past, present and future."

"Unconventional means?!" Kakuzu was a little confused and a little excited.

Bai Ye nodded and said:
"The specific goal is to develop quietly first, provoke the five major ninja villages to confront each other, and when the five major ninja villages are weak enough, we will take the opportunity to plunder the tailed beasts and use the power of the tailed beasts to rule the entire ninja world."

“Isn’t this a little too crazy?”

Kakuzu's excitement did not last long, as he became afraid of the White Night Plan. With his strength, he could be a bounty hunter, but if he attacked the five major ninja villages, he would easily lose his life.

"High risk brings high rewards. Even if you participate in the final operation, you can still make a lot of money along the way."

After hearing that they could make money, Jiao was very excited and no longer hesitated. He agreed with their plan and quietly stepped aside.

After Kakuzu left, Byakuya looked at Obito and Black Zetsu: "Senior Black Zetsu, I have investigated the Land of Fire during this period and recruited Kakuzu. How is the progress on your side?"

Black Zetsu hesitated to speak and looked at Obito who was standing aside.

At this time, Bai Ye continued, "I heard that the third generation of the Hidden Mist Village died, and the fourth generation was a ninja named Yagura Kujitachi. Could your actions be related to this?"

Obito nodded, and then said: "It is indeed somewhat related. The Third Mizukage was strangled by me and Black Zetsu during the development of ninjutsu. Otherwise, it would not be the turn of Karatachi Yagura to take the position."

When mentioning the Third Mizukage, Obito was not in a good mood.

He and Black Zetsu found the Third Mizukage who was in seclusion and practiced hard. He originally wanted to use the Sharingan to control the Mizukage, but unexpectedly the Sharingan illusion failed.

The two of them went through a hard battle, even at the cost of losing half of their bodies.

This is how the Third Mizukage was dealt with.

However, this also made Obito regain his confidence. The Five Kage standing at the top of the Ninja World are no more than this. As long as he has Wood Release and Sharingan, the Five Kage will be nothing more than his defeated opponents.

The reason why he failed in the competition with Bai Ye was simply because he was careless and underestimated his opponent.

If it was a battle of life and death, he would definitely not lose to Bai Ye.

Bai Ye exclaimed in surprise at the right time, and said in disbelief: "Senior Masked Man, you actually killed the Third Mizukage, who is one of the Five Kages. You are too strong."

Obito was somewhat obsessed with Bai Ye's 'senior'.

But on second thought, this kid Bai Ye seemed to have captured Hanzo of the Salamander. Even if he could defeat the Third Mizukage, he didn't seem to be much stronger than Bai Ye.

This kid is being sarcastic on purpose.

However, although there is no clear winner between him and Bai Ye, he has definitely surpassed Kakashi. Kakashi has lost his fighting spirit and is no longer worthy of being his opponent.

Watching the two teenage kids competing with each other, Black Zetsu, as an old man, almost had his brain exploded.

When the two were about to fight, Black Zetsu said quickly, "How about we discuss business first?"

"You two did a great job this time."

"Bai Ye recruited Kakuzu, giving the Moon Eye Project an extra executor. With my assistance, the masked man killed the Third Mizukage, successfully eliminating a rival and causing chaos in the Hidden Mist Village."

"It is foreseeable that the Hidden Mist Village will not be able to recover for at least ten years. During this period, we are just waiting for the resurrection of the Three-Tails and are ready to recycle it at any time." "Next, we have to find a way to weaken other ninja villages, such as the most threatening Konoha."

Bai Ye was the first to regain his seriousness. He nodded and said:
"What Black Zetsu-senpai said is very right. Konoha is the most threatening ninja village. There are still eight ninjas of this level in Konoha, like the Third Mizukage who was killed by the masked man. We really can't take it lightly."

Can you please stop mentioning me... Obito was in a rather unhappy mood. Besides, when did Konoha have eight Kage-level masters? How could he, a native of Konoha, not know about this?

At this time, Black Zetsu nodded slightly and agreed: "Bai Ye is right, Konoha does have so many strong people now, but Tsunade is out now, and Jiraiya is also traveling."

"Konoha only has half of its strong men who can actually stay in the village to guard it."

"However, even this number is still very terrifying. Once they become alert, the operation to capture the Nine-Tailed Fox will become very difficult."

After a pause, Black Zetsu said to Bai Ye:

"Bai Ye, now that you've thought of this, do you have any good ideas?"

"Of course there is..." Bai Ye quickly came up with a feasible plan:
"Senior Black Zetsu, I am still very young. By the time I live to Hanzo's age, all of Konoha's current Kage-level masters will surely be old and dead. We will naturally win without a fight!"

Black Zetsu pondered for a moment and actually began to seriously consider the feasibility.

Bai Ye’s plan was indeed good. For an immortal creature like him, decades of time passed in the blink of an eye. As long as there was no problem with the Rinnegan, it would take any longer.

After hearing this, Obito's expression changed unpredictably.

Decades would pass, let alone whether he would survive. Even if he survived that time, the bodies of Madara and Rin would probably have turned into ashes.

Although he was determined to realize the Moon Eye Project, decades were too long and he couldn't wait.

Thinking of this, Obito looked at Bai Ye and Hei Zetsu and asked:
"Several decades is too long. Even if the old generation of masters died, with Konoha's background, it is only a matter of time to cultivate a new generation of masters. Are we going to keep waiting like this?"

"I'm only talking about the most conservative option..."

Bai Ye said expressionlessly, and then gave a bold suggestion: "If you want to achieve quick success, masked man, you can try to join forces with Uchiha Madara and use your space-time ability to create an accident."

"There will always be times when a Konoha ninja is alone, and once they are alone it is the best time to hunt them down."

"As long as every hunting operation goes smoothly, within half a year, we will be able to hunt down all the strong men in the ninja world. By then, the operation of collecting the tailed beasts will be much easier."

Hearing this, Black Zetsu carefully considered the feasibility and then shook his head:

"This plan is not very reliable. The chance of success is too slim. Besides the masked man, Konoha also has time-space ninjas. Once we are besieged by Konoha Kage-level strongmen, we will all die."

"Unless we find a way to deal with this troublesome space-time ninja..."

Bai Ye also shook his head, sighed and said:

"Yeah, space-time ninjas are too troublesome. Even I am not sure I can kill space-time ninjas, so this plan is useless. Let's just develop slowly."

Hearing the conversation between Black Zetsu and Byakuya, Obito fell into deep thought.

Only people with the ability of time and space can fight against people with the ability of time and space. In other words, the only ninja in the ninja world who can kill Minato Namikaze is himself, except for the deceased Second Hokage Tobirama Senju.
