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

Bai Ye thought about it for a moment, and felt that he couldn't quite figure it out either.

Immediately realizing that he was still fighting, Byakuya came to his senses and punched Naruto, sending him flying.

Bang!

Naruto, who had been knocked away, instantly turned into smoke. Then, he suddenly reappeared behind Byakuya, laughing loudly, "Didn't expect that, did you? You got tricked by me!!"

This guy....

How naive!

Byakuya turned his head, and a pair of crimson eyes appeared in Naruto's eyes. Immediately afterward, Naruto heard Sasuke's warning: "Idiot, don't look into his eyes!!!"

It's over.....

After Sasuke finished speaking, he saw that Naruto also seemed to be under the influence of genjutsu.

At this point, Kurama (the Nine-Tails) will not help Naruto break free of the genjutsu. The reason why Jinchuriki are not afraid of genjutsu is because the Tailed Beasts help them by using their chakra.

However, Naruto had clearly not gained Kurama's approval at this time.

Furthermore, if illusion magic is powerful enough, this problem can actually be ignored.

Just like back in the Kikage era, when Obito controlled the Fourth Mizukage, he also controlled the Tailed Beasts here.

Even the Nine-Tails, the strongest tailed beast, can still be controlled, just like Madara Uchiha. As long as one's eye power is sufficient, then that problem can be solved.

However, controlling two people is a skill.

"Naruto, that idiot... no wonder he's the number one ninja in terms of unpredictability!!"

A hint of speechlessness flashed in Kakashi's eyes.

This is just the beginning.

As a result, Naruto had no other options.

So all that anticipation I had before was for nothing.

I was hoping that Naruto might be able to create a miracle.

But now it seems that Naruto is completely useless; he was subdued as soon as he appeared.

"Looks like I'll have to rely on myself!!"

Kakashi remained silent for a moment, then removed the headband from his Sharingan. As for Kakashi, he didn't know what Byakuya's purpose was for the time being.

However, nowadays, Kakashi can't just do whatever he wants.

Kakashi was well aware of this matter and knew it had to be resolved quickly.

However, at this moment, it seemed that he was no match for Bai Ye at all.

Those eyes... I can't look...

Kakashi suddenly realized that he seemed to have subconsciously met Byakuya's eyes. Perhaps it was because he hadn't fought the Uchiha in all these years that Kakashi was a little careless at this moment.

Or perhaps it's because he possesses the Sharingan that he subconsciously overlooked this point.

After Kakashi realized what was happening, he also realized that he had been thinking too simply.

"Looks like I overestimated you guys!"

Bai Ye shook his head. All four of them, including Neji who had been protecting Tazuna, were also under Bai Ye's control.

Seeing this situation, Tazuna stared at the scene before him with his mouth agape in disbelief. He truly hadn't expected that this person could instantly eliminate the ninja squad in front of him.

Originally, when they made their move, Tazuna was actually willing to trust them.

It is indeed powerful...

But after experiencing this, Tazner realized that it didn't seem to be true after all!

"Here you go. This scroll contains information about the Land of Waves. We've already dealt with Gato. We'll take some of the money, and use the rest to build bridges. You can use the money however you like after that!"

With that, Bai Ye tossed out the scroll and instantly left.

Compared to the excitement before, Bai Ye is now more disappointed.

I originally thought this meeting would be great.

The other party will make progress.

But now it seems I was overthinking things.

It seems that things aren't as wonderful as I thought.

Is it the same as before, or is it just that I'm too amazing?

Regardless of which one it is, Bai Ye always feels that the novelty of the past has been lost.

Tazuna, who received the scroll from Byakuya, was also somewhat bewildered.

I had previously thought I was going to die.

Unexpectedly, Bai Ye actually handed the scroll to him.

And judging from the current situation...

It seems they survived?

Kakashi, who was the first to break free from the illusion, looked around with a cold sweat on his face, panting heavily. He felt somewhat helpless.

It seems... Bai Ye has left?

If Bai Ye had just decided to take action against them...

They're just a few corpses here now.

They never expected the gap between the two sides to be so large, and Bai Ye could even easily kill several of them!

Chapter 272 - Cut the weeds and nip them in the bud!

After dispelling the genjutsu for everyone, Kakashi glanced at Tazuna, then looked at the scroll in Tazuna's hand and asked, "Did that guy give it to you?"

This scroll is clearly for use by ninjas; as a commoner, Tazuna would never use it.

Bai Ye came here, left a scroll, and then left.

Could it be a problem with the intelligence?

Kakashi's eyes flickered, wondering why they wouldn't just give it to him directly, or if someone was watching them.

If someone was monitoring the situation, there shouldn't be a scroll like this left behind.

well....

It really is the same as before; I just can't keep up with that guy's way of thinking.

Kakashi really had no idea what Byakuya was thinking.

"Yes, he said this scroll contains money from the Kado Group. They took some of it, and this is what I'm keeping..."

Tazuna nodded and then handed the scroll to Kakashi, though of course Tazuna wasn't giving Kakashi money.

Rather, he simply didn't know how to untangle the scroll.

Kakashi hesitated for a moment, then accepted it.

Bai Ye had the chance to kill them just now, but he didn't make a move, which means that Bai Ye most likely won't tamper with this scroll.

If Bai Ye wanted to make a move, he would have done so long ago.

Given the current situation, it's likely that the scroll has indeed been handed over to Tazna.

only....

they?

Kakashi caught the word in Tazuna's words.

He seemed to know about Bai Ye's situation as well.

It seems he didn't come here alone; was he with other people?

What was the purpose of taking this money?

A ninja would actually disdain coming here to rob money, and someone like Byakuya would be even less likely to do so.

After all, Bai Ye's strength is undeniable. If he wanted money, he could easily earn it with just a few missions. Why would he do something like this?

but....

Bai Ye did this, which clearly indicates that he was in dire need of money.

This left Kakashi somewhat puzzled as to what Byakuya was doing, as he was so short of money!

"Kakashi-sensei, where's that guy? I'm going to defeat him and bring him back!!!"

Kakashi's thoughts were interrupted. He glanced at Naruto, who was shouting and yelling, and a sense of helplessness flashed through his mind.

How dare this guy say such a thing?

"idiot!!"

Sasuke pursed his lips, truly impressed by Naruto's arrogance.
