Chapter 175 White Night's Prophecy
Although he was very suspicious of Bai Ye's motives, Yahiko still took the initiative to ask: "Bai Ye, when is the right time? Can we encourage Konoha and Kumogakure to have peace talks as soon as possible?"

Bai Ye shook his head gently and said earnestly: "Yahiko, I know you are anxious, but please don't be so anxious. Let me explain the cause and effect relationship."

Yahiko nodded slightly, and Konan and Nagato also looked eager to learn.

After thinking about it, Bai Ye asked Yahiko, "Why do you think the Hidden Cloud Village launched an attack on the Hidden Leaf Village this time?"

"It is to seize the land of the Land of Hot Springs and the Land of Fire, and to seize the title of the number one ninja village."

Bai Ye nodded and then asked, "Then why did the Hidden Cloud Village dare to attack the Hidden Leaf Ninja Village? Aren't the Hidden Cloud Ninjas afraid of a counterattack from Konoha?"

Yahiko thought for a while, then said: "It's because Senior Brother Minato died in the Nine-Tails Rebellion. If Senior Brother Minato and Kushina were still alive, the Hidden Cloud Village would never dare to launch an attack."

"Then why did Konoha always encounter sieges from other ninja villages during every Ninja World War?"

Hearing this, Yahiko fell into deep thought. He vaguely knew what Bai Ye was going to say, but he could never figure it out.

Seeing this scene, Bai Ye said with some emotion:
"The reason why Konoha or the Land of Fire was besieged in every Ninja World War is simple. It's because their land is too rich. The Land of Fire occupies almost 60% of the elite land in the Ninja World, and its wealth exceeds that of other major countries."

"This piece of land with favorable conditions was conquered for them by the First Hokage and the Ninja World Shura. With the strength of the First Hokage, they can naturally suppress all the ambitious people. At the same time, Konoha relies on the favorable conditions of the Land of Fire to continuously harvest the resources of the surrounding big countries and become more powerful."

"However, all of this is based on the survival of the First Hokage."

"Once the First Hokage died, a war for the land of the Land of Fire broke out. With victory after victory, Konoha barely managed to keep the land of the Land of Fire and barely maintained its balance."

"But the Nine-Tails Rebellion destroyed the original balance, causing the Hidden Cloud Village, which had preserved a lot of strength during the last Ninja World War, to challenge Konoha again."

"However, although the Hidden Cloud Village has the strength to challenge Konoha, I don't think they can succeed in the challenge."

"Why?" Xiaonan asked curiously. She has always been very concerned about money, but she doesn't know much about the strength and history of the major ninja villages.

Bai Ye smiled and said:

"Although Kumogakure has top-level strongmen such as the Fourth Raikage, the Two-Tails and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, the quality and quantity of the Jounin cannot compare to that of the Konohagakure."

"Once we enter the consumption phase, no ninja village will be able to outlast Konoha."

"Unless they start an internal strife first."

But the Nine-Tails Rebellion happened in Konoha... Konan complained in her heart, but Bai Ye was wondering if he had gone off topic, as they were clearly discussing how to promote peace between the Hidden Cloud Village and Konoha.

Bai Ye noticed the expressions of several people and continued, "Back to the topic, the reason why Kumogakure launched the invasion this time is because they have the strength to attack Konoha and want to compete for the title of the number one ninja village."

"In my opinion, if we want to stop this war, there are only three possibilities. One is to help the Hidden Cloud Village completely defeat the Land of Fire and annex the Land of Hot Spring and part of the territory of the Land of Fire..."

Hearing this, Yahiko shook his head: "We can't assist the Hidden Cloud Village."

Bai Ye then raised his second finger: "The second option is for us to join Konoha as mercenaries. With the strength we have accumulated over the years, we will be able to help Konoha defeat the Hidden Cloud Village."

Nagato and Konan looked at each other. The second option sounded good.

If they assist Konoha in the form of mercenaries, they can not only help Konoha resist the invasion of Kumogakure, but also obtain a considerable amount of funds to support the development of the Rain Country.

However, they all wanted to hear the third option, so they all looked at Bai Ye.

Bai Ye showed a sly smile, stretched out his third finger, and said meaningfully: "The third option is that we go to war against Konoha and Kumogakure at the same time!" "As long as Konoha and Kumogakure have a common enemy and defeat them, they will understand each other and move towards peace."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the office suddenly became subtle.

Bai Ye’s last method is a good one, but it is a little difficult to implement. The Hidden Rain Village does not have the ability to deal with Konoha and the Hidden Cloud Village at the same time.

If they really had the ability, they would have stepped in to stop the war long ago.

Seeing that everyone had fallen into silence, Bai Ye smiled and said, "It was just a joke. My real idea is to wait until the war between Konoha and the Hidden Cloud Village is almost over before intervening in the war..."

"And I don't know the exact time, let's wait until Jiraiya actively asks for help."

Hearing this, Yahiko and the others sighed softly. Bai Ye's method can indeed maximize the interests of the Hidden Rain Village, and they are no longer the passionate young men they used to be.

As a passionate young person, we must consider reality while having dreams.

However, if Jiraiya spoke in a humble manner, wouldn't it be too cruel to the teacher? After all, he had taught them for three years and was like a teacher and a father to them?

At this moment, Yahiko's expression suddenly changed and he looked towards the door.

Suddenly, a cloud of smoke appeared at the door of the office, and then a toad fell out.

This toad looked very young, and it still had a tadpole tail behind it. After seeing Yahiko, it opened its mouth and spit out a scroll, then cancelled the summoning technique on its own.

Seeing everything happening before their eyes, none of the ninjas present tried to stop the toad from leaving.

They all knew that the toad was Jiraiya's summoning beast, and it came from the three holy places of Myoboku Mountain. The letter sent this time must be related to Jiraiya.

Bai Ye looked at the toad a few more times and secretly memorized the toad's chakra aura.

At the same time, he was secretly curious whether the things he did in secret had been remembered by Gamamaru. After all, in the original time and space, Gamamaru was a great immortal who had part of the script.

However, Gamamaru's predictions have always been vague, with only a few ambiguous keywords.

What ninja with sky blue eyes is the child of prophecy? Sometimes the finger is pointed at Nagato with the Rinnegan, sometimes at Minato Namikaze and Naruto Uzumaki.

You can also use some of this kind of charlatan's rhetoric yourself.

The young man with the blood of God will eventually save the world. The child of prophecy who saves the world is not a summoning beast or a tailed beast, but a living human being.

While Bai Ye was complaining in his heart, Yahiko had already picked up the scroll on the ground.

After reading the contents of the letter, Yahiko's mouth twitched slightly, and he looked at Bai Ye with a somewhat subtle expression.

Seeing the change in Yahiko's expression, Nagato and Konan also leaned over to take a look. The three of them looked at Bai Ye together, with strange expressions on their faces.

Bai Ye came out of his daze, noticed the gazes of several people, and said unhappily:

"Why are you looking at me? To see the contents of the letter! Do you think I can know the contents of the letter?"

Hearing this, Yahiko hesitated, looked at Nagato and Konan, and said:
"Bai Ye, you may really know the contents inside. Several of us have already read the contents inside. The contents inside just happen to correspond to your prediction just now. Teacher Jiraiya really asked us for help."
