Chapter 125

After finishing off Danzo, Bai Ye looked calm. Danzo's strength was indeed good, but for Bai Ye, it was nothing. If Tsunade hadn't wanted to get a better grip on Konoha and see something with her own eyes, he would have killed Danzo a long time ago. From the previous situation, it is obvious that the effect is good. At least Tsunade finally decided to side with Bai Ye in the face of the lobbying of Danzo and those elders. That's great.

Bai Ye nodded; this first step of the plan went very smoothly.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Bai Ye's eyes turned to the side, where several Konoha elders were panicking and wanted to leave. But how could Bai Ye let these old guys leave? In the comics, these old guys don't do any good things, but as soon as there are bad things, they jump out one by one and are more diligent than anyone else. Bai Ye's subordinates don't need such people. Noticing Bai Ye's gaze, those elders looked nervous and were about to kneel down and beg for mercy. But Bai Ye didn't give them a chance to speak; a fiery flame rushed over, directly burning those elders to ashes.

"Ugh."

Looking at the scene in front of her, Tsunade sighed helplessly. Originally, she wanted to beg for mercy for these elders, but she didn't expect Bai Ye to be so decisive. But so far, she has nothing to do.

"Let's stop here. Next, you can name the Fire Nation in the name of Hokage. Come on, I have something to talk to him about."

Hearing Bai Ye's words, Tsunade's expression changed, and she said, "Let me talk about it. I believe the daimyo will understand." Now Tsunade is afraid that the relationship between Bai Ye and the daimyo will collapse. At that time, the entire Kingdom of Fire will probably change its name.

"Don't worry, I'm very measured," Bai Ye said with a smile. If it is not necessary, he is still very easy to talk to.

"Then, that's fine." Although Tsunade didn't agree with Bai Ye's words, she didn't dare to say anything more. Just then, there was a voice in the distance.

"Master Tsunade, Master Tsunade, something is wrong, something is wrong." Bai Ye and Tsunade turned their heads to look over, only to see Shizune running towards them in a hurry.

"Hoo hoo ~"

Shizune came to the side of Bai Ye and Tsunade and only then noticed the surrounding environment, which looked like a fierce battle had taken place. Is Master Tsunade fighting Bai Ye? Shizune thought to herself. But judging by the appearance of the two of them, neither of them was injured, so there shouldn't be a big problem.

"Shizune, you came here in a hurry, what's the matter?"

"That's right!" Hearing Tsunade's words, Shizune remembered that she had something important to report. "It's like this, Jiraiya sent a message back through the toad."

Jiraiya. Hearing Shizune's words, Tsunade remembered. Bai Ye had told her before that Jiraiya had been killed by Pain, the leader of Akatsuki.

"Let's go back quickly." Thinking of this, Tsunade walked towards Konoha without saying a word.

"Master Tsunade, wait for me." Shizune hurriedly chased after her. And Bai Ye also returned to Konoha Village. If nothing else happens, Pain is about to attack Konoha Village. To be honest, Bai Ye is still looking forward to it. After all, according to Pain, before the concept of the Six Paths level appeared, he was regarded as the ceiling level in the early stages.

After hearing the news of Jiraiya's death, there was a huge commotion in Konoha. But Konoha is worthy of being Konoha and soon stopped mourning. Under the auspices of Nara Shikaku, it didn't take long to make a plan and start organizing manpower to prepare for the upcoming Akatsuki organization.

Among them, it is worth mentioning that Naruto went to Mount Myōboku and began to practice senjutsu. As for Bai Ye, he first took over the root organization of Danzo. However, the process of taking over was not smooth. After all, these root ninjas were absolutely loyal to Danzo, so many people chose to resist Bai Ye. 

Bai Ye didn't waste words; he killed all those who resisted, leaving only those who were willing to obey his orders. At the same time, under Tsunade's instruction, Bai Ye also became the leader of Anbu. As for whether those Anbu ninjas were willing to listen to Bai Ye's words, it was very simple—after seeing Bai Ye's strength, basically all Anbu ninjas had no objections at all. So far, Bai Ye has completely controlled the entire Anbu and the roots. 

One by one, the news reached Bai Ye's ears through Anbu and the root ninjas. Among them, the Akatsuki organization has captured the Eight Tails and is preparing to attack Konoha to capture the Nine Tails. Bai Ye doesn't care about this; he just needs to wait patiently.

Now, there is one more important thing.

"Bai Ye, the daimyo of the Land of Fire is inside," Tsunade looked at Bai Ye in front of her, with a confused look on her face. She really didn't want Bai Ye to meet the daimyo alone because Bai Ye was too dangerous. Maybe Bai Ye would kill the daimyo just because of one word of disagreement. 

"Don't worry, I'm easy to talk to," Bai Ye pushed open the door and walked in. Tsunade waited nervously outside, and at the same time, the Chakra in her body began to surge. As long as she found something wrong, she would rush in immediately. 

"Master Tsunade, it's okay," Shizune stood aside, comforting Tsunade. Tsunade had already told her about Bai Ye some time ago. She never expected that Bai Ye would actually kill Danzo and many elders and also become the actual controller of Konoha Village. Now he even wanted to control the entire Fire Nation. It was just unbelievable. 

However, according to Tsunade, Bai Ye is just the controller behind the scenes and will not interfere with the normal operation of the entire Konoha and Fire Nation. So Shizune quickly accepted this reality. And according to Tsunade's description, Bai Ye's strength is comparable to that of the original First Hokage. So having such a strong person as a backer is obviously more beneficial than harmful to Konoha and the Fire Nation.

Neither Tsunade nor Shizune had to wait long. Soon, Bai Ye came out of the house. Tsunade and Shizune hurriedly looked at the room, only to see the daimyo from the Land of Fire coming out with a smile on his face. It seemed that the result of the negotiation was very good. 

"Tsunade, I have fully accepted Master Bai Ye's suggestion. From now on, as long as I am in power, you will always be Konoha's Hokage." 

After finishing speaking, the daimyo glanced at Bai Ye, who had walked away, and there was some kind of... almost fanatical 'worship' in his eyes?

Tsunade and Shizune stayed where they were and looked at each other with an incredulous look in their eyes. What exactly did Bai Ye say to the daimyo? 

And so far, Bai Ye can be considered to have completely controlled the entire Fire Nation. Everything went much smoother than Bai Ye had imagined. 

"Then, the next step is to face Pain."
