Chapter 230 Returning to the old place
The Grass Kingdom is the neighboring country of the Rain Kingdom.

It only took Bai Ye a few hours to reach the territory of the Land of Grass, and he subdued several Grass Ninjas who were robbing houses.

After using illusion to read the memories of several people, Bai Ye obtained a lot of information about Kusagakure.

This time, the Grass Ninja's activities on the border are really related to the Box of Paradise.

However, the Kusagakure ninja's attack on the border of the Rain Country was not a long-planned conspiracy of the Kusagakure Village, but simply because a civil war broke out in the Kusagakure Village.

Speaking of which, this civil unrest had a lot to do with him.

After he rescued Karin and lost Karin, a free medical machine, the Kusagakure Village lost its core competitiveness of low prices.

As a third-rate ninja village, Kusagakure cannot compete with the ninjas of Sand Village in terms of price, and its service attitude cannot compare with that of Konoha, which has the title of the first ninja village.

The long-term deficit has caused a lot of conflicts within the Kusagakure Village, which broke out not long ago.

The hawkish Kusano Minor faction openly opposed the current leader of the Kusano Hana faction at the Jonin Conference, accusing the doves of being too weak and never taking the initiative to start foreign wars.

The Hawk Faction's demand is to open the Box of Paradise and let the monsters inside the Box of Paradise help Kusagakure Village restore its former glory.

You know, during the period of the Six Paths Sage, the Land of Grass was the most powerful country in the Ninja World.

The doves, led by the chief of Kusagakure, opposed the opening of the Box of Paradise. The Box of Paradise made the Kingdom of Grass the strongest country, but it also brought hundreds of years of misfortune to the Kingdom of Grass.

After the two sides argued, the hawk faction of Kusagakure Village took the initiative and sent ninjas to attack the Rain Country.

He hopes to put the Kusagakure Village into a state of war, thereby forcing the doves to open the Box of Paradise and implement their plan to rule the world.

After glimpsing this information from his memory, Bai Ye shrugged helplessly.

He thought that the Kusagakure Village had opened the Box of Paradise and released the monster that feeds on negative emotions, but he didn't expect this to be the case.

It's a relief to think about it. A large amount of chakra is needed to open the Box of Paradise. The Hidden Grass Village really doesn't have the strength to open the Box of Paradise, let alone control the monster inside the Box of Paradise.

However, this time it was the Kusagakure Village that provoked first, and the Akatsuki organization finally had a reason to intervene in the Land of Grass.

After dealing with the controlled Kusanagi, Bai Ye returned to the Hidden Rain Building and talked to Yahiko about what happened a few hours ago.

Yahiko frowned when he heard that the neighboring Kusagakure Village was in civil strife.

From the perspective of strength, the Kusagakure Village and the surrounding small ninja villages combined are no match for the Rain Village. Even if the Kusagakure Village launches an attack, he is confident that he can defeat it within a month.

But if the Kusagakure Village fell into civil strife and the loser was the one who caused chaos on the border of the Rain Country, then it would be difficult to deal with.

It is impossible for the Hidden Rain Village to attack the Hidden Grass Village because of the actions of a few stray ninjas.

If these wandering Grass Ninjas are allowed to continue to be active, not only will the public security in the Land of Rain deteriorate, but even the country's import and export trade will be affected.

Thinking of this, Yahiko subconsciously looked at Bai Ye. It seemed that only Bai Ye could solve this situation.

Many things in the Hidden Rain Village cannot be done in the official name of the Hidden Rain Village. They can only be done by Bai Ye and Bai Ye's Akatsuki organization. Moreover, he recently heard that Bai Ye has recruited a lot of vicious ninjas.

Bai Ye noticed the look in Yahiko's eyes and knew that Yahiko was planning to use him as a laborer again.

However, he did not intend to do it himself this time, but planned to recommend another person: "Yahiko, I can handle the affairs of Kusagakure Village, but I think it would be better to give this mission to Nagato." "Leave it to Nagato?"

Yahiko looked puzzled, and then said: "Nagato probably doesn't have much interest in these, and can he handle the Kusagakure Village?"

Bai Ye had a strange look on his face. Yahiko had lived too comfortably in recent years and began to doubt Nagato's ability.

Although Nagato has been working as a civil engineer in the Rain Country for many years, his progress in puppet making and training has not fallen behind at all.

His strength is one of the best in the entire Akatsuki organization, and even I find it difficult to surpass him.

As if he had guessed Bai Ye's inner thoughts, Yahiko quickly explained:
"I'm not doubting Nagato's ability. I've seen his progress over the years. But I'm worried that Nagato doesn't have enough experience to deal with an entire ninja village alone."

In Yahiko's opinion, although Nagato possesses the Rinnegan and is the son of prophecy mentioned by teacher Jiraiya.

But he still remembered the scene when he first met Nagato. At that time, Nagato was taciturn and was the least opinionated child among the group.

After a moment's silence, Bai Ye said, "We have to let Nagato give it a try. He has led a lot of projects over the years. If he is always left hiding in the back, he will never be able to truly grow up."

Bai Ye said what was in his heart, he really hoped that Nagato could grow up.

After all, because of his sudden appearance, he changed the original fate of the Akatsuki organization, as well as the fate of Yahiko, Konan and Nagato.

During this period of the original time and space, Nagato had already begun recruiting people to deal with Hanzo of the Salamander, and after defeating Hanzo of the Salamander, he proclaimed himself the god of the Hidden Rain Village and wanted to achieve deterrence and peace by collecting the tailed beasts.

However, there is not much difference between Nagato in the original time and Nagato who lives in a comfortable atmosphere now.

Whether it is the idea of ​​peace by sitting down and talking to each other, or the idea of ​​using force to intimidate the five major ninja villages to maintain peace, these are actually Yahiko's different ideas at different times.

In Nagato's heart in the original time and space, the person who truly led the Akatsuki organization will always be Yahiko.

After hesitating for a moment, Yahiko no longer insisted and agreed to let Nagato go on the mission. He also hoped that Nagato could truly grow up and become the true son of prophecy.

After being called from the construction site by the Anbu, Nagato looked at Byakuya and Yahiko with some confusion.

He was busy building houses for the villagers, so why was he suddenly called here? Did something big happen in the village again?

The two of them told Nagato their decision without any unnecessary words.

When Yahiko and Byakuya asked him to go abroad on a mission, Nagato did not object, but he did not agree immediately. Instead, he fell into deep thought.

Although he was not good at thinking, he could more or less understand Yahiko's intention.

After thinking for a while, Nagato nodded and accepted the mission to go to the Land of Grass and mediate the civil unrest there. For him, this mission was very difficult, but he wanted to give it a try.

It doesn’t matter if I fail. As long as Bai Ye is here, everything will be fine.

After simply packing their luggage, Bai Ye and Nagato left the village and set out for the Land of Grass.

The two of them moved very quickly and it only took them a few hours to reach the Kusagakure Village.
