Chapter 135 Stopping
The process of recruiting Kabuto Yakushi was very smooth. Bai Ye only spent a few tens of thousands of taels to recruit one of the future big bosses of the ninja world to his own side.

However, Kabuto Yakushi’s strength was too weak, and the system didn’t even give him any rewards.

But when Bai Ye thought that Kabuto Yakushi had the potential to become a super strong man, he felt very happy and looked forward to the huge gains that he would bring to him in the future.

Pharmacist Dou, who received tens of thousands of taels of silver, also showed a shocked expression.

He didn't expect that the other party would actually give him money. A few tens of thousands of taels might just be a reward for a commission for a ninja, but it was a huge sum of money for an orphanage.

With this money, the orphanage can last another month.

However, handing the money over to the dean is a question that needs to be considered. If it is handed over directly to the dean, it will definitely arouse the dean's suspicion and he will ask questions.

However, if this money is given to the dean in the name of donations from kind-hearted people.

The dean shouldn't have any doubts.

After thinking about this, Yaoshi Dou returned the money to Bai Ye and whispered, "Can this money be given directly to the orphanage?"

After hearing this, Bai Ye nodded, and at the same time was surprised at Yakushi Kabuto's thinking ability.

As expected of Orochimaru's future deputy, he possesses a mind far beyond his peers at such a young age and has basically considered all issues comprehensively.

The only thing he didn't consider was his own identity and the danger he might encounter.

After stuffing the money into the mailbox of the orphanage and leaving spore clones on Kabuto Yakushi, Bai Ye did not stay for long and quickly returned to the Yuyin base, ending a busy day.

……

In the next few days, Bai Ye did not go to the Hokage Building to attend the meeting with Yahiko and others.

Instead, he stayed in the base and studied the Death Mask he brought back. He used the spore technique to secretly contact Kabuto Yakushi and train him to become a spy in Konoha.

Kabuto Yakushi has a strong learning ability and learned a lot in just a few days, including the method of refining chakra.

However, Bai Ye did not teach Kabuto Yakushi to learn ninjutsu and taijutsu.

Kabuto Yakushi is a child from an orphanage, and the Konoha Orphanage can be considered a reserve force of the Root. With Kabuto Yakushi's talent, it is very likely that he will be valued by Danzo and sent to the Root base for training.

This is also the fate of Kabuto Yakushi in the original time and space.

After experiencing enough hardships and pain, the orphan Kabuto Yakushi from the orphanage was finally able to transform into the perfect immortal, Ryuji of the Ryuchi Cave!

Yahiko and Namikaze Minato also reached a lot of cooperation through constant communication.

Although Yahiko did not agree to join the alliance system built by Konoha, he reached cooperation with Konoha in many areas and promised to help each other in times of war.

Minato Namikaze was not very satisfied with this result.

But he also knew that it would be impossible for Konoha and the Rain Country to reach an alliance agreement in the short term, and getting Yahiko's promise was enough.

In the face of huge commercial interests, it is impossible for the Rain Country to go to war with Konoha.

As long as the Rain Country does not join the other camps, Konoha will be able to reduce the pressure from Iwagakure and Kumogakure and avoid being besieged by the other four major ninja villages.

In addition, Minato Namikaze also gained a great deal.

That is, through his communication with Yahiko, he gained a lot of reform experience. After implementing one reform after another, the originally poor and weak Rain Village has begun to develop rapidly.

This is inseparable from the new ideas of the Hidden Rain Village and those unconventional reform directions. In addition to discussing trade issues between the two countries these days, Minato Namikaze is most concerned about these issues.

Until the day before the exchange group was leaving, Namikaze Minato still felt a little reluctant and wanted to ask the exchange group to stay and discuss for another ten days or half a month.

Despite Minato Namikaze's attempts to keep him, Yahiko still insisted on leaving.

Although he had a pleasant chat with Minato Namikaze, it was impossible for him to abandon the village and stay in Konoha all year round. The policies of the Rain Country could only be maintained by tough measures.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the day to leave.

Under the escort of the Anbu ninja, the exchange group passed through the Konoha gate, left the Konoha city area, and embarked on the road back to the Hidden Rain Village.

After walking a few kilometers, Yahiko and Konan looked back at Konoha with a somewhat melancholy look on their faces.

Bai Ye noticed the expressions of the two and said with a smile: "Why? You two are reluctant to leave Konoha, why don't you stay in Konoha and be Konoha members? Anyway, you are also dazzled by the prosperity of Konoha."

Yahiko shook his head and said:
"Bai Ye, I'm wondering, how long will it take for the village to develop to the level of Konoha, five years or ten years, or even longer?"

"It won't take that long..."

Bai Ye glanced at Konoha, chuckled and said, "Senior Yahiko, you have to have confidence in us. Our future will definitely be better than theirs. After all, Konoha is now at its peak and is about to go downhill."

"Our reforms can make Konoha stronger, but not all reforms are suitable for Konoha."

"I'm already looking forward to the scene of Konoha's collapse!"

Hearing Bai Ye's words, Yahiko looked suspicious.

It's a good thing that Bai Ye has confidence in his own village, but why is he starting to speak ill of Konoha again?

However, Bai Ye was right in some aspects. There were indeed many problems within Konoha, which he could feel during his communication with Minato Namikaze.

The power held by Namikaze Minato, the Hokage, is obviously less than that held by him, the leader of the Hidden Rain Village.

The situation within Konoha is much more complicated than that of the Hidden Rain Village. After all, the hero of the Hidden Rain Village, Hanzo Salamander, has been overthrown, but the Third Hokage is still active in the Konoha Village.

No matter what Minato Namikaze wants to do, he cannot avoid the influence of the previous Hokage.

But the difference between him and Byakuya is that he believes that Minato Namikaze can get rid of these influences and successfully apply the reform experience of the Hidden Rain Village to Konoha.

Although the Hidden Rain Village and Konoha are different villages, the dream of the Akatsuki organization belongs to the entire ninja world.

Only by finding more like-minded companions can we maintain long-term peace in this world and postpone the time for the next war infinitely.

After watching the Amegakure exchange group leave, Namikaze Minato returned to the Hokage Building.

Now that all the guests in the village have left, it is time to deal with the government affairs of the period.

Although Konoha, Iwagakure, Kirigakure, and Kumogakure are already in a ceasefire stage, no treaty has been signed between them and peace has not yet truly arrived.

If we want to sign a peace agreement, we have to hold talks with these two...

Once we have dealt with the matters at hand, we can carry out drastic reforms.

During his time as a jonin captain and the Fourth Hokage, he discovered many problems within the village. If they were not changed in time, the village would stagnate.
