Chapter 188 Uchiha's Way to Become Hokage
The words of the Fourth Raikage greatly boosted the morale of the Cloud Ninjas.

The Hidden Cloud Ninja can accept death in battle, but cannot accept compromise with the enemy. Even if there are heavy casualties, they must gain benefits from the enemy and make the enemy pay an equal price.

With such ideas and concepts, the Hidden Cloud Village has been able to expand rapidly in the past few decades and annex the surrounding small countries.

After confirming the plan to rescue Yukito, the Fourth Raikage planned to go out and carry out the operation, but Sackcloth stopped him and said with a serious face:

"Master Yondaime, there are many things that need you to handle personally. You can't leave them all to an assistant like me. You are the Raikage of the village."

The Fourth Raikage was a bit difficult to look at. What he hated most was staying in the office to handle government affairs. This was also the case after he came to the military camp. He did not like the job of arranging tasks.

After taking a deep breath, the Fourth Raikage looked at Sackcloth and said, "If there is anything else important, tell me all at once and I will handle it all this time."

Ma Buyi nodded and took out a scroll:

"This is a report of casualties among the ninjas on the front lines. They were attacked by Uchiha ninjas."

"This is a list of logistical supplies. They were attacked by Hyuga ninjas."

"This is a letter from the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning, asking Raikage-sama how the war is going?"

"This is the casualty report of the troops stationed in the Kingdom of Soup. They were recently attacked by two bounty hunters and suffered heavy casualties."

The Fourth Raikage said impatiently:
"Let's not talk about the first few. Did something go wrong in the Kingdom of Soup? I remember that the Kingdom of Soup was heavily guarded. How could it be attacked by bounty hunters and cause heavy casualties?"

"It's naturally difficult for ordinary bounty hunters, but these two bounty hunters are not ordinary ninjas. They are the puppet master codenamed Akasha and the rebellious ninja Kakuzu."

Puppet master Akashi, rebel ninja Kakuzu?
The Fourth Raikage seemed to have heard these two names somewhere, but isn't a puppeteer a profession in the Sand Village? Why did they start hunting down Cloud Ninjas?

As for the traitorous ninja Kakuzu, he was a famous bounty hunter who even hunted the first Hokage.

After thinking for a moment, the Fourth Raikage said, "Since they are bounty hunters, is there any way to bribe them to our side and let them hunt Konoha ninjas? We will pay double the price."

"I'll do it right away." Ma Buyi nodded.

After Sackcloth left, the Fourth Raikage breathed a sigh of relief. He finally didn't have to deal with tedious military affairs. It wasn't that he didn't care about the war.

But focusing on these trivial matters is not a good thing for a ninja.

A long period of comfortable life will make a ninja lose his sense of crisis, and his combat instinct and judgment will decline. He can only rely on his strength to crush low-level enemies.

But in a battle with a strong opponent of the same level, losing the ability to judge is fatal.

This is also the reason why he suddenly launched a war against the Fire Nation. After losing the Fourth Hokage who dared to fight on the front line, Konoha was left with only the old Third Hokage.

The Third Hokage did not go to the front lines to fight during the entire Third Ninja World War.

Even if he has the title of Ninja Hero, how much strength can he exert now? I am afraid that he has long been strong on the outside but weak on the inside, and he doesn't even have the courage to go to the front line.

……

After leaving Fugaku, Shisui hurriedly found Byakuya.

Bai Ye's behavior of capturing himself, Tiehuo and others last time would definitely anger the tribesmen. If he hadn't been there to buffer them, a violent conflict might have broken out.

However, after finding Byakuya, Shisui rubbed his eyes, wondering if he had seen it wrong. Unlike what Shisui expected, Byakuya did not have a conflict with the clan members, but instead got along well with the Uchiha clan members, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

At this time, Tiehuo and others noticed Shisui and said, "Shisui, you are finally back. What did the clan leader ask you to do? Did he ask you to entertain Byakuya Jonin?"

Shisui said in a daze, "That's about right. I asked questions related to Byakuya."

"That's good. Let me tell you, Byakuya Jonin is one of the few ninjas who can understand us Uchiha. Such ninjas are very rare."

Shisui was still a little confused. He signaled Bai Ye to follow him with his eyes and said in a low voice:
"Master Bai Ye, what did you talk about with them? They have always been cold to outsiders and have never shown such a warm attitude."

Bai Ye showed a sly smile, and then said: "Nothing, it's nothing more than showing the strength to crush them, and by the way, he joined them in speaking ill of Qianshou."

I see... Shisui nodded slightly. Scolding the Senju clan was indeed a hot topic among the Uchiha.

However, Bai Ye is obviously not an Uchiha, so why did he integrate into the clan group so quickly, making himself, an orthodox Uchiha, seem a little out of place.

But it probably wouldn't be possible to be so enthusiastic just to say bad things about Senju.

As if seeing through Shisui's thoughts, Bai Ye said calmly: "Of course, I didn't just say bad things. I also shared with them some experiences passed down by my predecessors, telling them that some things need to be fought for by themselves."

Shisui's face darkened, he stared at Bai Ye and said:

"Lord Bai Ye, this is probably not a good experience. Do you want the Uchiha to launch a coup?"

Bai Ye also looked at Shisui, the smile on his face gradually faded, and he said expressionlessly:

"Shisui is really smart. I did share with them the fastest way to become Hokage, and that is to launch a military coup."

"Only by launching a military coup can an Uchiha become Hokage."

"Master Bai Ye, you are right, but if the coup fails, the Uchiha will be doomed, and even if it succeeds, Konoha will be in tatters."

At this point, Shisui's expression became extremely solemn, with malice emerging from his eyes.

Feeling the malice in Shisui, Bai Ye chuckled and said:

"Don't be so sensitive. I'm just sharing my experience. Did you instigate the Uchiha to launch a coup? Isn't it you, the Mangekyō Uchiha, who really decides the future of the clan?"

"Besides, how do you think our Akatsuki organization became the ruler of the Hidden Rain Village?"

Hearing this, Shisui frowned and said in confusion: "Isn't it because you and Yahiko and others are valued by Hanzo of the Salamander that you were chosen as the heir?"

"Did you go out this time on orders other than Hanzo's?"

Bai Ye smiled and said, "No one can order me. I came to support your Konoha this time. It was entirely my own idea."

"As for the master-disciple relationship between Hanzo and me, it is nothing more than an exchange of interests."

"We, the Akatsuki organization, used force to force Hanzo of the Salamander to compromise. I wonder what you Uchiha are going to do?"
