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

This is fair competition now.

Aside from feeling a bit unwell around this time of May,

Even though I invited them over that night, they all seemed to have a much stronger presence than me...

The other end.

Bai Ye shook his head, put down his phone, and continued working on the manuscript. He needed to finish all the remaining drafts before he could finish. He was busy until the next day. After a short rest, Bai Ye opened his eyes again and was speechless.

So I was rushing to finish my manuscript yesterday, and today I've somehow time-traveled again. What a terrible ominous feeling!

Chapter 260 - Xiao Nan: Is that bastard Bai Ye back?

"This is the cave we left before, and these clothes... The Naruto world is back..."

Bai Ye glanced at his Akatsuki uniform and then at the location of the cave; this was the place he had left earlier.

But what timeline is this time?

As Bai Ye walked out of the cave, he felt somewhat confused. Was he in a timeline that had just passed, or had a long time already gone by?

After asking someone at random about the current timeline, Bai Ye fell silent.

The plot seems to have begun, and judging from the timeline, it should be close to the Chunin Exams.

That means it's time to consider your task complete.

The mission in this world is for Byakuya to join the Akatsuki organization and then successfully survive until the Chunin Exams timeline.

Looking at it this way, it seems that I really have reached this point, and the mission is completed just like that?

but....

If we look at the timeline, it seems like a very long time has passed this time.

Wouldn't I just disappear from the Akatsuki organization?

So, should I return to the Akatsuki organization at this point?

I bet even Nagato thinks he's defected.

Having heard nothing from him for so many years, if he were to go there now, he would probably just take action.

but....

Bai Ye thought about his mission.

Does he need to hold out until the Chunin Exams are over?

So if that's the case, doesn't that mean I still have to go back?

Upon thinking about it this way, Bai Ye was immediately speechless.

So it turns out I still have to go back to the Akatsuki organization.

...

"Someone broke in, and... damn it, that guy?!"

Nagato couldn't hold back any longer and blurted out a curse. That bastard actually came.

"Who?"

Konan looked at Nagato with a puzzled expression. She was also a little confused as to why Nagato would swear so vehemently upon his arrival.

However, seeing Nagato's strange look, Konan was momentarily at a loss for words.

Why is he looking at me like that?

"What exactly happened to Nagato?!"

Xiao Nan couldn't hold back any longer and asked directly.

It seems this is also related to me.

However, Konan didn't know who it was, but judging from Nagato's eyes, could it be that guy Byakuya?

That guy has been gone for so many years.

Speaking of which, the Akatsuki organization has been looking for Bai Ye all these years. At first, they thought Bai Ye was cultivating, so they sent Zetsu to look for him. But they found that Bai Ye seemed to be hiding. They even thought that Bai Ye had defected.

However, even if it's a defection, there should at least be some news about it.

Just like Orochimaru, although he ran away, he also hid very well.

But they can still find some information.

So, in the end, there was still news about Orochimaru.

But Bai Ye's current situation is different.

Bai Ye simply vanished completely.

They had absolutely no idea how to find Bai Ye.

Thinking about it this way, they suddenly realized a problem.

That means that Bai Ye may have simply disappeared.

Aside from that, there's really nothing I can't figure out...

But there's something very strange. Bai Ye should be very strong, so why did he suddenly disappear?!

The Akatsuki organization had been pondering the issue of Byakuya's disappearance for some time.

As for what to do next, all we can do is look for Bai Ye.

However, so many years have passed, and Bai Ye has remained completely out of contact.

Therefore, at this point, no one really had much hope in finding Bai Ye.

After all, even someone with Jue's reconnaissance abilities couldn't find out where Bai Ye was.

It's practically impossible for them to find it again.

So, in the end, this actually means giving up a bit.

Judging from Nagato's current situation...

Could it be... that he really has come?

impossible?

They disappeared for so many days, and then they came back?

"That's right, just as you thought, that guy is back!!"

Nagato nodded and spoke slowly.

Faced with this situation, Nagato himself was also somewhat incredulous.

They've been missing for so long, and it's not like they haven't searched for him before.

It could even be said that they had searched the entire ninja world for a very, very long time, but to no avail.

And then this thing actually came back on its own?

"white night?"

"kindness...."

Nagato nodded, then looked at Konan. Clearly, he was also unsure of Bai Ye's true purpose in returning.

After all, this guy had disappeared for many years, and his sudden return just like that feels a bit strange to say there was nothing going on.

Besides, we need to find out the reason for this disappearance.

Nagato was also feeling quite weary. He already had Orochimaru defecting, and now Byakuya had completely disappeared.

This made Nagato think that something was wrong with his Akatsuki organization.

"Let's go see that guy. We should also explain why he's been missing all these years."

Nagato glanced at Konan and then said calmly.

It's definitely not right not to get to the bottom of this. Xiao Nan nodded, a complex feeling stirring within her towards Bai Ye.

Because she was worried when Bai Ye disappeared, and now that she knows he seems to be alright, Xiao Nan breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, she wondered if Bai Ye would say anything to them after disappearing for so many years.

Controlling Pain, they brought Konan to Byakuya's side. Looking at the face that was exactly the same as it had been years ago, they were somewhat surprised. They hadn't expected that after so many years, the other person seemed to have not changed at all.

It seems... Nagato really wants to know what happened all these years now that he's back and has all this to do.

"Zhuque, according to the organization's rules, your current situation should be considered defection, right? How dare you come here?"

Although Nagato had previously wanted to win over Byakuya, the current situation makes his intentions unclear.

In addition, they had no idea what Bai Ye had gone through over the years.

Therefore, in order to avoid any unexpected situations, Nagato directly put pressure on Byakuya by adopting his own stance.

Besides, if I remember correctly, that seems to be the case, right?

If someone leaves the organization for an extended period without reporting it, wouldn't that be considered defection?
