Chapter 362 Continue the mission
Facing Bai Ye's question, Obito nodded, and then asked curiously: "I have already helped you transfer your property to a nearby base, you can just send someone to take it away."

"But I'd like to know why you're so keen on money?"

"With your and my strength, as long as we can successfully collect the tailed beasts and revive the Ten-Tails, money is just a number to us. There is no need to deliberately collect it."

Bai Ye glanced at Obito and then said:

"With such a concept, I am beginning to doubt whether you are really serious about managing the Hidden Mist Village. After all, with your ability, even if you really manage the Hidden Mist Village, the result will be counterproductive."

After hearing this, Obito blushed, but could do nothing.

Bai Ye was right. After using illusion to control Karutagi Yagura, he began to govern the Hidden Mist Village seriously, but the result was counterproductive and made the Hidden Mist Village even weaker.

This also made him very speechless, as he clearly didn't want to plunge the Hidden Mist Village into chaos from the beginning.

As if seeing Obito's inner thoughts, Bai Ye continued: "Masked man, I know you have a lot of doubts in your heart. You may still be questioning my actions this time. Why don't I go directly to the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."

"The reason is very simple. Resurrecting the Ten-Tails is part of Akatsuki's plan, but not all of it."

"My dream was to rebuild the Whirlpool Country at first, but as time went on, I wanted to bring the entire Ninja World under the rule of the Akatsuki Organization, and use the terrifying deterrent power of the Ten-Tails to create decades of peace in the Ninja World."

"There will certainly be conflict and bloodshed during this period, but I still want to have fewer wars and make the conflict shorter."

"Saving money and training subordinates is also to shorten this time."

"You probably want peace, so you're collecting the tailed beasts together and reviving the Ten-Tails."

After hearing Bai Ye's heartfelt words, Obito was stunned at first, and then began to carefully consider the feasibility of using the Ten-Tails to intimidate the entire ninja world.

Bai Ye's method is actually similar to that of Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama.

It seemed that Hashirama Senju used the method of distributing the tailed beasts to balance the strength of the major ninja villages, but in fact the tailed beasts were not enough to intimidate the five major ninja villages. The ones who really had a deterrent effect were Hashirama Senju and Uchiha Madara.

From this point of view, Bai Ye is worthy of being the heir of the Senju clan.

Although the way of maintaining peace has changed from allocating tailed beasts to evolving into the Ten-Tails deterrent, it is actually no different from Konoha decades ago.

The only difference is that Hashirama Senju will grow old and die, but the Ten-Tails can survive forever.

But the Ten Tails is not a ninja after all. Even if you get the Ten Tails, there is still the risk of it being robbed. After Bai Ye dies of old age, the ninja world will fall into chaos again.

Deep down, Obito looked down on this way of maintaining peace.

Using the violence of the Ten-Tails to intimidate the entire ninja world and achieve peace can certainly keep the ninja world peaceful for a period of time, but the ninja ideals and dreams will still not be resolved.

While carrying out the mission, the ninja's life was still in danger and he died in an accident.

If you want to achieve permanent peace, you still need Infinite Tsukuyomi. After everyone is placed in an illusion, the difference between reality and illusion is no longer important.

Thinking of this, Obito became more determined in his thoughts, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Bai Ye was completely different.

There was actually not much conflict between him and Bai Ye. Bai Ye had once saved himself and also saved Lin who was kidnapped by Iwagakure. Compared with these, the humiliation in recent years was nothing.

The biggest conflict between him and Byakuya is the difference in ideas, or perhaps the difference between Uchiha and Senju.

The Senju's method was proven to be wrong decades ago, but Byakuya still wants to continue this mistake. The Uchiha is completely different. Only the Uchiha's thinking can bring true peace to the ninja world.

At the moment, his strength and status are not as good as Bai Ye's.

Instead of continuing to overestimate one's own abilities and go against Bai Ye, it is better to temporarily obey Bai Ye, quietly accumulate strength, and when the time is right, you can reap the benefits.

After all, once Bai Ye's plan is exposed, he will also be the enemy of the five major ninja villages.

Thinking of this, Obito snorted coldly and said, "You have already said everything. What else can I say? You are the boss of Akatsuki. It is enough for me to listen to you."

After seeing this scene, Bai Ye showed a helpless smile.

He just used his words to persuade Obito, and judging from the result, Obito seemed to agree with his idea, but it was hard to say how much effect it had.

Uchiha ninjas are extremely stubborn, and it is very difficult to change their minds.

Each of them desires peace and tranquility, but acts too much in an extreme way, which often brings about the opposite result.

However, all this has little to do with him.

It's like this for Uchiha. All he needs to do is collect the tailed beasts, provoke the Ninja World War, revive the Ten-Tails, and activate the Infinite Tsukuyomi. But it's different for him. He needs to consider more.

……

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.

Inside the cabin in the woods.

After half a month of special training, although Naruto did not improve much in his hard power, under the guidance of Kushina, he got to know and became familiar with the Nine-Tails, and could already mobilize some of its power.

The ability to control chakra also becomes more precise.

According to Kushina, Naruto's chakra control ability has reached the level of a jonin. He only needs to practice for a few more years, and it will not be difficult for him to become a jonin of Konoha.

The Nine-Tails originally didn't want to provide chakra to Naruto.

But a gang hunting tailed beasts appeared. Worried that his life was in danger, the Nine-Tails could only think of ways to improve Naruto's strength and reduce the risk of Naruto being abducted.

After using the Nine-Tails' Chakra, Naruto successfully entered Tailed Beast Mode.

When the Nine-Tails Chakra covered his whole body, Naruto was filled with violent aura, like an unstable bomb, and his strength reached the level of elite jonin.

Seeing that Naruto had the strength of an elite jonin after transforming into a tailed beast, Kushina relaxed a lot.

Although the elite jonin was no match for Obito, he was still capable of protecting himself when facing Obito, which was enough to support him to rush over to support him.

After getting Kushina's approval, Naruto also began to think about leaving this place.

Faced with Naruto's idea of ​​leaving, Kushina did not stop him, but she rejected Naruto's invitation and did not want to return to Konoha Village as the widow of the Fourth Generation.

Naruto guessed that Kushina must be hiding something, but he also didn't have much good feelings towards Konoha.

If my mother doesn't want to talk about it, then forget it. She will definitely explain it to me later. The most urgent thing is to find Sasuke and Kakashi as soon as possible to complete the task of escorting Dazna. On Shisui's side, Sasuke has learned a lot of Uchiha secret techniques, and his strength has been greatly improved. He has also obtained the latest scientific research results of the Akatsuki organization and transplanted the first generation of cells.

After his strength increased, Sasuke proposed the idea of ​​challenging Shisui.

Shisui did not refuse Sasuke, and the two sides started a contest in the open space. As expected, Sasuke was no match for Shisui.

Even if Shisui didn't open his Sharingan, he could still defeat Sasuke easily.

After the defeat, Sasuke looked a little depressed. He sat on the ground, not knowing what to do. He said in a dark tone: "Brother Shisui, I can't even defeat you. When will I be able to defeat Uchiha Itachi?"

After hearing this, Shisui frowned, then said, "Sasuke, you don't think Itachi can beat me, do you?"

Sasuke was also stunned, and then said in confusion: "Brother Shisui, since you can defeat Itachi, why didn't you keep Uchiha Itachi back then?"

"He's no match for me, but I can't take him down either."

After a pause, Shisui continued, "No one can stop Itachi from escaping unless we find a ninja with the same strength as me, or that sir takes action himself."

"So that's how it is..." Sasuke muttered, then asked, "Brother Shisui, when is our next training? In the afternoon or evening?"

Shisui shook his head, then said, "Your special training is complete, it's time to leave here."

Sasuke's face changed slightly, and he asked in confusion: "But I feel that I am still very weak. Can I train here to the point of defeating Uchiha Itachi?"

"Your foundation is already very solid. You just need to digest it a little bit. You are already a leader among the jonin. From now on, you can't improve by others' teaching."

"I have the strength of a jonin?" Sasuke was stunned, wondering if he had heard it wrong.

"Of course, just because you can't defeat me doesn't mean you don't have the strength of a jonin. Who do you think you are compared to Uchiha Itachi? Although we don't have the title of Kage, our strength has reached the level of Kage."

"Continue to hone your skills in the missions. I will continue to observe you in secret."

After saying that, Shisui disappeared from Sasuke's sight, leaving only waves of responses.

After looking around and unable to find Shisui, Sasuke sighed softly, then left the place and rushed towards the gathering place of Team 7.

After spending several hours, Sasuke arrived at the meeting place nervously.

Although he learned from Shisui that Naruto was fine, he was still a little worried about the safety of Naruto and Sakura, as they were all members of the same team.

After arriving at the meeting point, Sasuke breathed a sigh of relief.

Before he arrived, Naruto and Sakura had already appeared at the meeting place. Even the chattering old man was still alive, frowning and looking in the direction of the Wave Kingdom.

After seeing Sasuke, Sakura quickly came over and said, "Sasuke, I'm so glad you're okay."

Sasuke nodded, then looked at Naruto and said, "Naruto, you have also been receiving special training these days. Your chakra is stronger than before."

Naruto also looked at Sasuke: "So, you are also receiving special training? Who is training you?"

Sasuke clenched his fists and said, "It's Uchiha Itachi. That guy is training on purpose. He seems to want to use me to do something. I will seize the time to become stronger and then kill him."

Sakura looked a little embarrassed, since Sasuke and Naruto were both in training, she felt a little awkward.

Listening to the voices of the Team 7 members, Yamato, who was hiding in the dark, breathed a sigh of relief. He was glad that nothing happened to Naruto and Sasuke. If something really happened, he didn't know how to explain to the Hokage.

Kakashi glanced at Yamato and said with a smile, "Well, I said they were fine. Bai Ye really rescued them secretly and sent people to give them special training."

Yamato nodded, still feeling mixed emotions.

More than ten seconds later, Kakashi led Yamato out of the bushes and came in front of Naruto and others.

After seeing Kakashi and Yamato, they were stunned at first, and then said in shock: "Teacher Kakashi, it turns out that you are okay."

Kakashi said with a strange look on his face, "Are you expecting something to happen to me? Even though I am usually a bit harsh on you, I am still your team leader after all."

"By the way..." Kakashi pointed at Yamato and said, "This is Wood Release Yamato. He has the same Wood Release bloodline as the first generation. He is also an Anbu ninja who has been protecting you in secret."

Yamato frowned and looked at Kakashi, who actually revealed his identity.

But considering his signature ninjutsu and identity, this wasn't something that needed to be hidden.

At this time, Sasuke seemed to remember something and asked Yamato, "Senior Yamato, I remember Kakashi said that there is a ninja named Bai Ye who also mastered Wood Release. Who is stronger between you and Bai Ye?"

Hearing this, Yamato fell silent.

Kakashi also looked a little embarrassed. After a cough, he said, "Of course Byakuya is stronger, but Yamato is not weak either. Even though he doesn't like to talk, he is one of the best jonin in the village."

“I see…” The eyes of several people looking at Yamato changed.

Yamato also enjoyed this kind of gaze. Although he was a little expressionless and socially anxious, he really liked the feeling of being admired. When being called a senior, he would jump up excitedly.

After the awkward topic was over, Kakashi, Naruto and the others tacitly agreed not to mention what had happened in the past few days.

As the employer Dazna was still nearby, many topics could not be started immediately as they all involved the secrets of the Konoha Village.

After chatting, several people looked at Dazna on the side.

Right now, they are considering whether to continue the mission of escorting Dazna. Although escorting Dazna is only a C-level mission, they encountered Kisame and Uchiha Itachi, and the difficulty of the mission instantly reached S-level.

From a safety perspective, they should abandon the mission immediately.

But at this moment Kakashi still wanted to know Naruto and Sasuke's opinions, or rather Bai Ye's opinions, so he slowly asked:
"Sasuke, Naruto, should we continue to escort Dazna?"

Naruto and Sasuke looked at each other and then said, "Of course we have to continue escorting Dazna. This is our first mission and we don't want to give up yet."

We still have to continue the mission… Sakura's eyes widened.

Although she had never seen Kisame's strength, she knew Uchiha Itachi's strength. Could they really complete this mission with just a few of them?
However, I have Senior Yamato and Sensei Kakashi on my side...

Kakashi looked deeply at Naruto and Sasuke, then said, "Since you are both willing to continue the mission, let's continue the mission."
