Chapter 246 Departure to the Snow Country

Yahiko was no stranger to the name of the Snow Country.

This country, located in the far north of the continent, does not have much communication with other countries because it is covered with ice and snow all year round. It is a relatively mysterious country.

However, he had never heard of when the Snow Country developed the chakra armor that could enhance the strength of ninjas.

As for the Country of the Sky mentioned by Bai Ye, Yahiko had never heard of it. There seemed to be no such country as the Country of the Sky in the Ninja World. At least in his impression, the Country of the Sky had never existed.

Seeing Yahiko in confusion, Bai Ye explained:

"The Kingdom of Sky is a small country near the Kingdom of Fire. During the Third World War more than 20 years ago, a ninja village called the Sky Pirates was born there. They drove a space fortress and used advanced chakra weapons to attack Konoha, but were eventually defeated by Konoha."

Yahiko frowned and continued, "According to what you said, didn't the Sky Ninja Village perish twenty years ago? How can we obtain more advanced technology from the Sky Ninja Village?"

"The Kingdom of the Sky has indeed perished, but that doesn't mean the Sky Ninja Village has perished. There are always some remnants of the Sky Ninja lurking in the Ninja World, and the whereabouts of the floating fortress back then are still unknown."

After a short pause, Bai Ye continued, "Over the years, I have actually been sending people to investigate the ancient ruins of the Ninja World, and I have also learned the whereabouts of many air ninjas, so I can find them at any time..."

"It's just that the organization didn't have enough confidence to make a deal with them before, but it's different now."

After hearing this, Yahiko fell into deep thought.

It turns out that Bai Ye has done so many things in secret during these years in charge of the Akatsuki organization. In addition to the major countries in the ninja world, he even kept in mind those destroyed organizations. He really has good intentions.

However, this was not the first day he had known Bai Ye. He knew that Bai Ye always had a strong sense of crisis, and always liked to list the five major countries as imaginary enemies and had formulated many plans to defend against the enemies.

Recovering his gradually scattered thoughts, Yahiko spoke:
"I can send someone to negotiate with the Snow Country to see if we can exchange goods for their chakra armor, but as for the Sky Ninja Village, I'm afraid I can only rely on you."

Bai Ye shook his head and said, "I plan to send other people to the Sky Ninja Village. As for how to get the chakra armor technology of the Snow Country, I have a better way. Normal negotiations cannot get this core technology."

"Yes, it seems that the task of obtaining the chakra armor can only be entrusted to you."

Yahiko nodded slightly. He had always been very confident in Bai Ye's abilities. Then Yahiko seemed to realize something and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

Why did he feel like he was fooled by Bai Ye? Did Bai Ye have this planned all along?

Moreover, if Bai Ye really went to the Snow Kingdom, it would not cause the same chaos as the Grass Kingdom, and then the top leaders of the Snow Kingdom would be forced to come and sign an alliance agreement.

It's not that he thinks signing an alliance agreement is a bad thing, but if the Hidden Rain Village continues to be so high-profile, it will sooner or later arouse the fear of the five major countries. The geographical location of the Rain Country is actually not better than that of the Fire Country. Both are in the belly of the gold-edged silver-horned grass.

Bai Ye didn’t know what Yahiko was thinking, and even if he knew, he wouldn’t care too much.

Bai Ye glanced at Xiaonan who was not far away, stretched out his hand to Xiaonan and said, "Xiaonan, you will carry out the mission with me this time. I need your assistance in this mission."

Xiaonan looked puzzled, but nodded anyway. She hadn't left the village for some time.

It was confirmed that the Hidden Rain Village’s immediate targets were the Snow Country and the Sky Ninja Village, and this high-level meeting came to an end.

Bai Ye did not take Xiaonan with him immediately, but returned to the base first and arranged two outer formation members to search for the ruins of the Sky Ninja Village.

In Bai Ye's impression, the remnants of the Sky Ninja Village have actually been active in the ninja world. Among them, Shennong, the leader of the Sky Ninja Village, stole the secret techniques of the Cloud Village and was on the Cloud Village's wanted list. His style of doing things can be considered very high-profile.

The two people sent by Bai Ye were Sasori and Orochimaru.

Scorpion and Orochimaru are both scientific research ninjas. After finding Shennong, they should have a lot in common with him and may be able to recruit Shennong into the Akatsuki organization.

As for why he volunteered to go to the Snow Country, of course he had his own calculations.

The Snow Country has a very high level of industrialization, and its chakra technology is also among the best in the ninja world. Many military industries that are not suitable for going to war in the Rain Country are arranged there.

Especially some secret and forbidden techniques that need to be kept secret.

……

After briefly arranging the work for the next few months, Bai Ye and Xiaonan left the Hidden Rain Village.

Both of them are ninjas who are proficient in paper ninjutsu and have mastered the ability to fly at low altitudes. Even in a humid environment like the Rain Country, they can move at extremely fast speeds.

While hurrying on the way, Bai Ye deliberately looked back at Xiaonan. After seeing that Xiaonan was able to keep up with his pace, he secretly thought that he was not the only one who was growing.

After several years of training, Konan has grown from an elite jonin to a Kage-level strength.

Both the amount of chakra and the use of paper jutsu are almost the same as Konan in the original time and space. Konan has also mastered the secret technique of multiplying Exploding Talismans, which allows him to use Exploding Talismans more efficiently.

Taking all these factors into consideration, Bai Ye believes that Konan even has a chance to defeat the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki.

While Bai Ye was looking at Xiaonan, Xiaonan was also looking at Bai Ye. She was no longer surprised that Bai Ye's strength was greater than hers.

Bai Ye is a rare genius in the ninja world, his talent even surpasses that of Nagato, the reincarnation of the Six Paths Sage.

Compared to Byakuya and Nagato, she and Yahiko were lagging behind, and as she grew older and gained more experience, she could feel Byakuya's terror more and more.

I had to use all my free time to catch up with Bai Ye.

After walking and stopping along the way, the two soon left the Rain Kingdom and arrived in the Fire Kingdom.

After seeing the lush forests in the Land of Fire, Xiaonan couldn't help but ask, "Bai Ye, isn't the Land of Snow in the north? Why did we come to the Land of Fire?"

Bai Ye glanced at Xiao Nan, then explained:
"We need to board a ship from the eastern part of the Fire Country to the Snow Country. This will avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble. Also, there is a key person we need to find in the Fire Country?
"Only after we find her and head to the Snow Country can we successfully obtain the Chakra Armor Technology."

"Looking for a key person in the Land of Fire? Who exactly are we looking for?"

Xiaonan was even more confused, but she believed in Bai Ye's judgment. Since a long time ago, Bai Ye had never let her down.

The person Bai Ye is looking for must have a close relationship with the Snow Country.
