Chapter 39 There Is a Villain Around Hanzo
Not long after, Xiaonan and Bai Ye came to the black market of the Country of Rain.
The process of arriving at the black market this time was extremely smooth. No accidents were encountered during the process. Everything went so smoothly that Bai Ye was surprised when the security in the Kingdom of Rain was so good.
Originally, he thought that if he met a group of wandering ninjas, he could have an actual battle after a long time, and see if there were any good prospects who could be recruited into the organization and become peripheral members of the organization.
It's a pity that we didn't even encounter any bandits and bandits who were blocking the road, let alone ninjas.
But then I thought about it, although Sanshouyu Hanzo's Amegakure Village does not maintain law and order, secretly the Akatsuki organization has been taking over.
At a time when the Akatsuki organization is sparing no effort to protect the villages in the Land of Rain, it is unusual for a large number of bandits to appear, let alone encounter some powerful 'wandering ninjas'.
How many truly capable ninjas would choose to wander? Unless it offends the people in power in the village.
After arriving at a familiar town, Xiao Nan turned to look at Bai Ye: "The black market is ahead. Should we act together this time? Or complete our respective tasks separately?"
Bai Ye glanced at Xiaonan and said, "It's better to act alone. I'm worried that it's not safe here."
Xiaonan nodded and showed a true expression. After the experience of the last mission together, she knew that Bai Ye didn't like to deal with too many people and preferred to move in the shadows.
This is different from most people in the organization.
After the two confirmed their respective actions, Bai Ye did not leave immediately, but followed Xiaonan while letting the paper clones collect information related to Xiaonan.
The reason is simple. Ever since Xiaonan entered the black market, many eyes have been staring at her, including black market merchants, wandering ninjas, and the people behind the black market in the Land of Rain.
Byakuya was able to perceive these sights, thanks to the 'Kagura Heart Eye' that exploded from Nagato.
Kagura's Heart's Eye is a very powerful perception ninjutsu, and can even distinguish the good and evil of others towards oneself from perception. In this regard, the ability of Kagura's Heart's Eye is even more terrifying than the Byakugan and Sharingan.
Continue to follow Xiaonan.
After turning into an alley in the black market, Xiao Nan found the black market merchant.
After seeing Xiaonan, the black marketeer immediately showed a flattering smile and approached.
Xiao Nan has been a regular customer in the past few months. Every time he comes here, he brings a large number of detonating charms to sell, which allows him, as a middleman, to make a lot of difference in price.
Xiaonan was not fooled by the black market merchant's flattering smile. After taking out the scroll containing the detonating talisman, he began to bargain.
One person said that due to the recent lull in the war, the demand for detonating charms has dropped, and the price will drop. The other party said that the production of detonating charms is limited, and if the expected selling price cannot be reached, she would rather not sell them.
Bai Ye was not very interested in the bargaining process. He just wanted to know who the owner of this black market was.
At this time, Bai Ye noticed the bodyguards beside the black market businessman and became a little more interested in this businessman.
The chakra of these people is far beyond that of ordinary people, reaching the level of chuunin, and the merchants who deal with Xiaonan are even more extraordinary, the chakra in their bodies is at the level of jounin.
It's just that there seems to be something wrong with his body and he looks very weak.
After some haggling, Xiaonan left the alley with a box of money.
Bai Ye did not follow him away, but hid in the corner and observed the black marketeers.
In addition to selling detonating charms with Xiaonan, he also wanted to find partners to make money with him during his trip. Cooperating with existing businessmen was obviously much easier than starting from scratch.
The black market merchant in front of us is one of the good choices.
After Xiaonan completely left the black market, several ninjas approached the black market merchant and made a gesture of wiping their necks:
"Master Shigure, is this blue-haired female ninja here again selling detonating charms? Should we take her down?"
"I heard that she is still a ninja of the Akatsuki organization. This organization has been developing secretly, but the leader has never surrendered to Lord Hanzo. I just took her to see Lord Hanzo."
After listening to the report from his subordinates, the black marketeer shook his head:
"The most important thing in the black market is the rules. We can't break the rules here. And do you think the ninjas who dare to sell detonating charms are ordinary people?"
"There must be one of the five great ninja villages standing behind her. We just need to make a little profit. There is no need to offend the five great ninja villages. I will report the information here to Hanzo-sama and let Hanzo-sama make a decision."
"Yes, Master Shigure." Several Rain ninja said respectfully.
"You guys go down first, don't disturb my rest..."
After waving his hands to let his men leave, Shigure turned around and revealed a gloomy look in his eyes, as if he was very impatient with these men.
Byakuya heard the conversation between several rain ninjas and noticed Shigure's gloomy eyes.
The black marketeer named Shigure was actually the Jonin of Hidden Rain Village. This was not surprising to him. The black market in the Country of Rain must be inseparable from the top management of the Country of Rain.
But he didn't expect that this black market was directly controlled by Yuyin Village, and the merchants were all ninjas from Yuyin Village.
This is not good news. It shows that Xiaonan's actions of selling detonating charms and purchasing supplies have been under the observation of Yuyin Village. Maybe Hanzo has also been paying attention to the Akatsuki organization.
Now that Hanzo has not taken action against the Akatsuki organization, it may just be that the Akatsuki organization is too weak and Yahiko's philosophy is too mild.
What threat can there be to an organization that advocates everyone sitting together and talking every day?
The existence of Akatsuki may fill the gap in the security of the Hidden Rain Village outside the village. Hanzo may be happy to see Akatsuki grow up and merge the Hidden Rain Village and Akatsuki in a few years.
Of course, this situation is based on the premise that there is no interference from external factors, but it is impossible for the Rain Country, the land of the Three Wars, not to be disturbed. A chaotic Rain Country is in the interests of the three major countries around it.
Therefore, Akatsuki can appear to be unafraid of any threat, but it cannot really resist without strength.
After writing down Shigure's name and chakra fluctuations, Bai Ye quietly left the black market and came to the place where he met Konan.
After meeting Bai Ye, Xiao Nan asked curiously: "Bai Ye, how is your investment plan going?"
Bai Ye deliberately kept it a secret and asked back: "The investment plan has some clues, but guess who the black marketeer you are trading with is?"
"You followed me? But what does the identity of the black marketeer have to do with us?"
Bai Ye explained helplessly: "The black marketeer is called Shi Yu, and he is a jonin of the Hidden Rain Village. That is to say, your behavior of selling detonating tags and purchasing supplies has always been under the attention of Hanzo of the Salamander."
"Isn't this a sure thing? Our activities cannot escape Hanzo's eyes."
Xiao Nan didn't think there was anything surprising. Almost everyone in the Akatsuki organization didn't think that Hanzo of the Salamander would be a threat to the Akatsuki organization.
If Bai Ye had only heard about Hanzo of the Salamander's deeds and didn't know the future plot, he would think so.
It's a pity that Hanzo of the Salamander, the hero, eventually became a dragon, and killed the new hero, giving birth to a more terrifying demon king.
Faced with this stubborn ninja, Bai Ye decided to explain it in another way:
"Of course Hanzo will not attack the organization, but who knows if there will be any villains around him who will bewitch the organization? What if he attacks the organization?"
Konan nodded in agreement, looked at Bai Ye, and said with a serious face:
"Bai Ye, you are right, we must avoid this situation. What do you plan to do specifically? Do you need my help? Or should I go to another place to purchase supplies in the future?"
Bai Ye was slightly stunned by Xiaonan's change of attitude, but he continued:
"Now, the organization has been exposed to Hanzo, and it is too late to hide. You still stay active in the original way, and leave the rest to me and Yahiko."
Hearing this, Xiaonan nodded slightly: "I believe you, Bai Ye."
Xiaonan's trust warmed Bai Ye's heart, but after calming down, he finally found that something was wrong. Xiaonan didn't think that he was the treacherous minister who bewitched people in the Akatsuki organization.
