Chapter 299 Tailed Beast Weapon Plan
After discovering that the person coming was Bai Ye, Yahiko and others immediately let down their guard.
Looking at Bai Ye with a fake smile on his face, Yahiko frowned and said impatiently: "Bai Ye, where have you been recently? There is no news about you at the organization base."
Xiaonan also agreed: "Last time I wanted to go into the organization's base to look for you, Huali told me that you had been gone for a long time. What on earth did you do secretly?"
Bai Ye spread his hands and said, "I have been very busy recently. I went to the Snow Country and then to the Fire Country. Now I have the opportunity to come back."
"You went to the Fire Nation?"
Yahiko discovered the blind spot and said with a strange look on his face: "The Uchiha clan genocide in Konoha this time could not have anything to do with you, and the invasion of the Land of Fire by the Hidden Rock Village..."
At this point, Yahiko's expression gradually became serious, and he doubted the truth he had discovered.
Bai Ye rolled his eyes, looked at Yahiko and said, "What does the extermination of the Uchiha clan have to do with me? The conflict between the Konoha high-level officials and the Uchiha clan has been going on for a long time. Sooner or later, they will fight. It doesn't make much difference if it happens sooner or later."
"Do you know about the Uchiha clan genocide?"
Bai Ye nodded and said:
"Of course I know about the Uchiha clan annihilation, but the official announcement from Konoha is fake. The losses of the Uchiha clan are far from reaching the level of annihilation, and the attack on the Uchiha clan this time is not as simple as the announcement."
"What do you mean?" Yahiko looked at Bai Ye, and his breathing became slightly rapid.
Bai Ye found a place to sit down and said calmly: "Yahiko, many things cannot be judged superficially, we need to think about them at a deeper level."
"The Uchiha were apparently attacked by Uchiha Itachi, but how much benefit did Itachi gain from it?"
"Itachi Uchiha won't get much benefit..." Yahiko echoed: "Not only did he lose his clan members, he also became a wanted traitor. His future will definitely not be easy."
"So what do you think is the truth behind the Uchiha clan extermination?"
Bai Ye deliberately kept the secret, and then continued:
"In my opinion, even if Uchiha Itachi really attacked his clan members, he must have been instigated by others, who either used justice or threats to force Uchiha Itachi to wield the butcher knife against his clan members."
"And once the Uchiha clan is exterminated, the people who will gain the most will be the Konoha high-ranking officials."
"You mean the Uchiha clan extermination was caused by Konoha's high-ranking officials?"
Yahiko frowned. He really couldn't imagine that Konoha would actually attack the ninjas in the village. This was completely against the will of Fire.
Although he didn't have much good feelings towards the Konoha Village, a considerable part of the ideas of the Hidden Rain Village were borrowed from Konoha.
Seeing the ninja village he once envied fall to its current state, Yahiko felt deeply saddened and didn't know what to say.
At this time, Yahiko seemed to remember and said, "You are going to the Land of Fire this time, aren't you going to accept the remaining Uchiha clan members?"
Bai Ye did not deny it and nodded slightly.
There was no need for him to hide the fact that he had accepted the Uchiha from Yahiko. Such a matter involving hundreds of people could not be hidden from Yahiko.
Hearing this, Yahiko sighed softly and didn't say anything more.
From the perspective of the leader of the Hidden Rain Village, he should have reprimanded Bai Ye, sent this group of Uchiha back to Konoha, and explained everything to Konoha. Otherwise, it would easily cause unnecessary misunderstandings between the two sides, leading to war.
But what Konoha has done in recent years has made Yahiko somewhat disappointed. Konoha is no longer the village he longed for, but a place of filth and corruption.
The ninja who attacked the Hidden Rain Village and killed Nagato's father was from Konoha.
The ninja who attacked Akatsuki and almost wiped out Akatsuki was from Konoha. He and Akatsuki had never owed Konoha anything, but Konoha had hurt him again and again.
Even with the relationship with Teacher Jiraiya, it would be difficult for him to have a good impression of Konoha.
At most, when Konoha was attacked, he would not take the opportunity to add insult to injury.
Recovering his gradually scattered thoughts, Yahiko said to Bai Ye: "Where will you place the Uchiha? Do you need material support from the village?"
Bai Ye shook his head: "Forget about the supplies. I plan to arrange for the Uchiha to a remote place. They cannot show up for the time being, and other people in the village cannot know about it."
Yahiko nodded, acknowledging Bai Ye's decision, and then asked, "The Uchiha issue has been resolved. What do you think about the Iwagakure attacking Konoha?"
Bai Ye thought for a moment, then said, "Watch while sitting? Or you can watch while lying down."
Yahiko was speechless. He wanted to hear Bai Ye's opinion, but Bai Ye just gave him a perfunctory answer. Was this kind of answer really okay in a serious high-level meeting?
Bai Ye's face turned serious and he said, "Yahiko, this is my opinion. The war between Iwagakure and Konoha has little to do with us, and there is no need for us to get involved in their war."
Yahiko nodded. What Bai Ye said made sense. There was no need for the Hidden Rain Village to be involved in this war.
Before the war reached a certain stage, even if the Hidden Rain Village mediated the war between Konoha and the Hidden Iwagakure, it would only attract firepower to the Hidden Rain Village and would not solve the fundamental problem.
Xiaonan suddenly remembered something and looked at Bai Ye's position a few more times.
The woman's intuition told her that the Iwagakure Village's attack on Konoha must be related to Byakuya, and the conversation between Byakuya and Ōnoki a few months ago must be related to today's war.
Otherwise, Bai Ye would not have left the village and been active in the Fire Country in the past few months.
But Konan was hesitant about whether to remind Yahiko. She wanted to tell Yahiko these details, but Bai Ye's judgment had never been wrong.
Every time Bai Ye makes a seemingly outrageous decision, it always brings the greatest benefit to the Akatsuki organization.
In less than ten years, Byakuya led the Akatsuki organization from a small organization in the Hidden Rain Village to a giant organization that spans several countries and is superior to ordinary ninja villages.
After discussing the topic of war between Iwagakure Village and Konoha, the high-level meeting gradually came to an end.
After pondering for a long time, Bai Ye said to Yahiko and the other two, "Yahiko, Nagato, Konan, what do you think of the development of the organization and the village in the past few years?"
Yahiko and the other two looked at Bai Ye in surprise and said in unison:
"The village and the organization have developed very well in the past few years. Although the living standards of the people in our territory are not as good as those in the big cities of the Fire Country, they are more than enough compared to other places in the ninja world."
Bai Ye nodded and then asked, "So what do you think of the current situation in the ninja world?"
