After my triumphs and defeats, I created multiple aliases across countless worlds.

"Just let it go. Actually, nothing will happen after a while, so don't worry."

This kind of thing will probably be forgotten by others soon after Bai Ye leaves.

As long as I don't remember so many red beans, that's fine.

She felt that Hongdou was overthinking things. Now, many people may know that because of Baiye's defection, many people may remember the story of Baiye and Hongdou.

But things will be different in the future.

"this...."

Hongdou hesitated for a moment, but then felt that what Hong said made sense.

"Let me take a look first."

She was somewhat unwilling to accept it.

So what if he defected!

snort!

I can always do it later after I find Bai Ye.

Asking her to give up? That's clearly impossible!

I've put so much effort into making this plan, and now I'm being forced to give it up here? How could it be so quick!

"Sigh...why bother with this?"

Hong sighed and ultimately decided not to further provoke Hongdou.

She felt that Hongdou was being a bit extreme.

But even though she wasn't directly involved, Hong knew that every word she said might not be what Hongdou wanted to hear, and might even be perceived as her lecturing.

Given Hongdou's somewhat rebellious nature, she might do something even more outrageous later on.

So, after thinking it over, Hong decided to give up on trying to persuade Hongdou.

Perhaps this is for the best. Although Hongdou is still unwilling to give up her plan, if she waits for a while longer and Baiye doesn't appear for a long time, she might give up completely.

Time will tell.

...

"Ah, where should I go after leaving Konoha?"

After leaving Konoha, Byakuya was somewhat at a loss as to where to go next.

Fog Shadow?

Forget it, what's the difference between that and staying in Konoha?

Although Byakuya wanted to go to Kirikage, the thought of suddenly disappearing one day made him afraid that Terumi Mei would think he had abandoned her after starting something.

So, after thinking it over, Bai Ye decided to give up.

But apart from Wuying, it seemed that he really had nowhere else to go.

"Why don't you join our Akatsuki organization, senior?!"

On a tree branch, a masked man was waving his arms and greeting Bai Ye in his silly voice.

At his feet stood a hermaphrodite gazing at Bai Ye.

Black Zetsu was somewhat surprised by Bai Ye's appearance.

According to their original plan, the Uchiha clan would be wiped out.

Danzo himself was just one piece in the game.

Ultimately, the demise of the Uchiha clan was not just an internal matter of Konoha; both Obito and Zetsu had their own considerations.

Obito believed that the Uchiha clan was subject to change, so there was no need to let them live any longer.

After all, no one knows what kind of eye technique will ultimately emerge.

I am a living example.

Therefore, Obito naturally did not want this to happen.

As for Black Zetsu, he already had a Madara Uchiha.

In his opinion, only Madara Uchiha came closest over the years.

Furthermore, Madara can still be revived later on using the revival method.

Having finally managed to fool Ban, all I need to do now is focus on Ban.

As for the others, Black Zetsu didn't care at all.

So even if the Uchiha clan were wiped out, it wouldn't have much of an impact on him.

But Bai Ye's appearance instantly changed this situation.

It's clear that the Uchiha clan cannot be wiped out by them.

At the same time, Konoha will likely be more difficult to conquer than before due to Danzo's death and Tsunade's return.

Therefore, the original plan was to kill Shisui, then have Itachi awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan, and preserve Sasuke.

The plan is to have one of the brothers unlock the Eternal Kaleidoscope and ultimately become a stepping stone for that plan.

Everything is in complete chaos now.

The reason the two approached Bai Ye was naturally because the Akatsuki organization needed combat power.

Byakuya, who defected from Konoha, was a good option.

Even knowing that Byakuya and Konoha might not have fallen out as badly as they thought, they still had to extend an invitation.

So Obito went to Byakuya.

"Sorry, I have no interest in any random or dubious organizations."

Bai Ye shook his head; he had absolutely no interest in the Akatsuki organization.

After all, he didn't need to go to the Akatsuki organization for further training.

Moreover, his own cheat ability is like a time bomb; who knows when it will leave?

So Byakuya rejected Obito without even thinking.

"Huh? But I came here on the leader's orders. Going back now would probably make things very difficult!"

Obito scratched the back of his head, pondering whether or not to reveal his identity as 'Uchiha Madara' to Byakuya.

"Huh? If the invitation fails, should we leave?"

White Zetsu tilted his head and looked at Obito, who even nodded in agreement.

"idiot!"

A shadow of gloom flashed in Black Zetsu's eyes. Teaming up with these two oddballs to complete a mission was simply a disgrace to him.

He cursed the two of them inwardly, thinking that White Zetsu was an idiot, but Obito was just an actor.

Obito had no chance of leaving.

Byakuya must have awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, otherwise dealing with Danzo wouldn't have been so easy.

Judging from the traces of the previous battle, they saw signs of damage to Susanoo.

A rogue ninja who has awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan—that's someone they need to win over!

[Ding! Mission selected: Kill Danzo, stop Danzo from causing trouble in the ninja world, and then defect from Konoha to become a rogue ninja, thus completing the mission. Reward: Ability Card +5, Uzumaki Clan Bloodline]

[Ding! Task selection initiated!]

[Option 1: Join the Akatsuki organization, replace Itachi as an undercover agent, three years after three years, do you know how I spent those years? Successfully survived until the Chunin Exams began!]

[Option Two: Refuse to join Akatsuki, immediately engage in a fierce battle with Obito, and are ambushed by Pain, Konan, Kakuzu, and Sasori who are lurking in the area. Escape and successfully kill two of them!]

[You will receive rewards upon completing each stage of the mission!]

What the hell...

So, if you don't join, they'll gang up on you?

Playing the cheating game?

Chapter 97 - Suzaku of Dawn, First Encounter with Orochimaru!

Actually, I'm not afraid of fighting the Akatsuki.

However, this mission is a closed loop, as originally envisioned by Bai Ye.

I can fight it myself, and if I can't win, I can just use the Flying Thunder God Technique to escape.

However, this mission requires you to choose to fight against the Akatsuki organization.

That means I can't run away; I have to kill two of them first.

Otherwise, this mission will most likely be judged as a failure.

Bai Ye has never had a failed mission record.
