Chapter 273 I Need Your Loyalty

"Master Byakuya, the Uchiha needs help, Shisui."

After receiving the message from Shisui, Byakuya took out a bunch of plans for the Uchiha clan genocide night from the drawer and began to think about which set of plans to send to Shisui for execution.

After a little thought, Bai Ye destroyed all these plans and gave up this plan.

Uchiha ninjas have never been very smart. If they fail to understand my intentions and make mistakes in executing the plan, all my years of planning will be in vain.

After all, whether the Uchiha clan perishes has little to do with him.

However, if the Uchiha was really destroyed, he would lose the chance to obtain the high-level Mangekyō. Apart from anything else, the reward for recruiting the entire Uchiha under his command would surely be quite generous.

After leaving behind a wooden clone, Bai Ye found White Zetsu Afu and used the floating technique to escape towards Konoha.

The speed of the floating technique is extremely fast. In less than a day, Bai Ye crossed a distance of thousands of kilometers and arrived at the Konoha Village.

In the open space in the Death Forest, Shisui was found alone and upset.

At this time, Shisui was practicing the art of instant body movement in the open space. When he slashed the falling leaves, he left a trail of afterimages on the spot.

Bai Ye did not show up immediately, but instead used his chakra to create vines, which emerged from the ground and pounced towards Shisui.

Seeing the sudden attack, Shisui's face changed slightly. After swinging his kunai to cut off the vines, he seemed to remember something and shouted to the surroundings:

"Master Bai Ye, are you here?"

After his identity was revealed, Bai Ye emerged from the darkness and patted Shisui on the shoulder:

"It's a good idea to use Wood Release to guess my identity, but I'm not the only ninja in the ninja world who has mastered Wood Release. If you meet someone else, you'll be in trouble."

Are there other ninjas in the ninja world who have mastered Wood Release?
And isn’t Bai Ye’s speed too fast? The Rain Country should be thousands of kilometers away from Konoha.

Shisui was shocked, but he remained calm and said, "Even if there are other Wood Release ninjas in the ninja world, they are definitely not as strong as Lord Byakuya. I will never forget Lord Byakuya's power."

When faced with Shisui, who had become well-behaved and learned to flatter others, Bai Ye knew that the conflict between the Uchiha and Konoha's high-level officials had definitely reached an irreversible point.

Otherwise, how could the Uchiha lower their proud heads?

Thinking of this, Bai Ye said: "Shisui, I prefer your unruly look! That's the Uchiha in our minds."

"?" Shisui was stunned. He still couldn't follow Bai Ye's train of thought.

Bai Ye coughed and then said, "Enough of the small talk. What kind of trouble did you Uchiha get into that made you seek my help?"

Shisui sighed softly and then told him about Itachi.

After hearing that Itachi joined the Root just like in the original time and space, and became Danzo's sharp weapon against Uchiha, Bai Ye couldn't help but laugh, feeling that Uchiha Itachi was worthy of having the thinking of Hokage.

But it is not clear whether it is the thinking of the first, second, third or fourth generation Hokage.

After a moment of silence, Bai Ye said to Shisui, "Uchiha Itachi has been influenced by that kid Danzo, and he will definitely stand on the side of the Konoha high-level officials in the future, and he might even take action against his clan members."

Shisui frowned, then said: "Itachi wouldn't do that. Although he is not good at expressing his emotions, at least he is full of love for his people in his heart." "That's not necessarily true. I have dealt with Danzo before, and I know what kind of ninjas are influenced by Danzo. Although they have self-awareness, they are actually Danzo's tools."

Bai Ye smiled meaningfully and continued:

"But it doesn't matter what Danzo thinks or Itachi thinks. What matters is what you think. What kind of help do you want from me this time? Are you ready to pay the price?"

Shisui took a deep breath, then said, "In order to save the family, I am willing to do anything, even giving the Mangekyō Sharingan to Lord Byakuya."

"Mangekyo Sharingan? Those are nice eyes."

Bai Ye looked into Shisui's eyes, shook his head and said, "But I don't need your eyes, I need your loyalty."

"Is loyalty enough?"

Shisui heaved a sigh of relief, he originally thought that Byakuya was attracted to his Mangekyō Sharingan, but it turned out that Byakuya only wanted his and his family's loyalty.

This undoubtedly proved that Bai Ye's ambition was greater than he imagined.

But what does it matter? The greater Bai Ye's ambition, the greater his strength. After he and his family become Bai Ye's subordinates, he will be able to get more room for development.

Compared to Konoha, which has always suppressed the Uchiha clan, Bai Ye's Hidden Rain Village will definitely not deliberately suppress the Uchiha clan.

After thinking for a moment, Shisui said to Bai Ye: "Master Bai Ye, if you can accept Uchiha, we will offer our loyalty!"

Bai Ye frowned: "You Uchiha are under Konoha's surveillance. It is not easy to take all your ninjas away. And even if I can take you away, will your clan members agree?"

Bai Ye's words touched Shisui's heart, causing him to fall into silence.

He was indeed not confident enough to convince his tribe members. Apart from being the tribe's number one expert and the Uchiha who had awakened the Mangekyo, he did not have much authority in the tribe to let his tribe members leave with him.

Moreover, the Uchiha family is very large, with a total of 300 people.

There are only dozens of ninjas among them, and the rest are ordinary people who have not mastered ninjutsu.

The Uchiha can leave Konoha under the pretext of carrying out a mission, but these ordinary people cannot. Such a large-scale movement of personnel will definitely arouse the vigilance of Konoha's top leaders.

After thinking about this, Shisui suddenly felt that leaving Konoha was not a solution, it seemed to be full of difficulties.

As if seeing through Shisui's thoughts, Byakuya said, "From the information you just provided, although you Uchiha have many conflicts with the Konoha high-level officials, the Konoha high-level officials have no intention of taking action against you immediately."

"Maybe because of your concerns about your Mangekyō Sharingan, or maybe because of the fear that after destroying the Uchiha, there won't be enough manpower to deal with the threats from other ninja villages."

"In any case, you Uchiha still have plenty of time to make the transfer."

After a pause, Bai Ye looked at Shisui and said, "In the next period of time, I will guide you step by step on how to obtain the power of Uchiha, how to lead the tribe to fight against Konoha, and finally realize your wish."

Hearing this, Shisui nodded and said, "Then I'll leave it to Lord Baiye."
