This time, the rewards included Puppet Creation Jutsu, as well as the abilities of the Human Path, Animal Path, and Hell Path.The Puppet Creation Jutsu needs no explanation; it allowed him to master the technique for creating the Six Paths of Pain. The Human Path's ability is to ext...

Chapter 128: A New AbilityHearing Byakuya's blatant mockery, Danzo clenched his fists but could only stare intensely at Byakuya's back.Byakuya knew very well that Danzo wanted to become the Hokage, but Byakuya constantly used this to taunt him, rubbing salt into his wounds repeatedly, even going so far as to encourage him to launch a military coup.Danzo admitted that when he first heard By...

Chapter 127: Danzo-senpai, please do your bestSeeing Jiraiya’s predicament, Byakuya couldn’t help but smile faintly.Jiraiya, who had promised to treat him to a meal, ended up sneaking away midway, which was a clear breach of brotherly loyalty. Even if it was just a pretense of brotherhood, he should have paid up.But that was Jiraiya for you—always pulling little tricks, but when it came to c...

Chapter 126: Law-Abiding ByakuyaAs a transmigrator, Byakuya was well-acquainted with the Third Hokage's life history. While people's thoughts might change over time, their general character usually remains consistent. In his impression, the Third Hokage was mediocre and ineffective. If he had died during the three Shinobi World Wars, his reputation might have been better than the Second Ho...

Chapter 125: The Contented Retired ElderAfter finishing a day of accompanying duties, Jiraiya stretched and headed towards the streets of Konoha. He planned to enjoy a bowl of Ichiraku Ramen, relax with a bath, and gather material for his next manuscript. It was a way to indulge his physical needs while also giving back to his beloved readers.Unfortunately, readers didn’t show much interest in ...

Chapter 124: The Sigh of the Third HokageAfter dealing with the giant snake, Byakuya returned to Jiraiya’s side, waving his hand in front of the latter’s eyes. "Jiraiya-sensei, are there any other fierce beasts in the training grounds? This giant snake wasn’t enough for me to warm up."Hearing this, Jiraiya’s mouth twitched slightly.Considering the giant snake’s size, it had to be...

Chapter 123: Opinions VaryAfter Yahiko and Minato finished their discussion, Byakuya and Jiraiya had already become close friends, engaging in a relationship akin to that of old comrades.Yahiko and Minato both recognized that Jiraiya was trying to bridge the gap between them and Byakuya, but this inadvertently lowered their status in a way they hadn’t anticipated.Fortunately, in the ninja world,...

Chapter 122: Lord ByakuyaThe Third Hokage’s questioning left Danzo in a brief moment of contemplation. Six months ago, he had indeed engaged in espionage activities in the Land of Rain, attempting to exploit the conflicts between the Akatsuki and Amegakure to create chaos.He had invested in Byakuya, aiming to use him to seize control as the leader of the Akatsuki. However, Danzo hadn’t anticip...

Chapter 120: The Various Faces of KonohaApart from Danzo, several other ninjas in the crowd had their eyes on Byakuya.After observing for a while, the Uchiha guards who were maintaining order recognized Byakuya's figure and couldn't help but grit their teeth.They remembered the humiliation they had endured a few months ago.The young man before them had captured all of them alive in just a ...

Chapter 119: Master and Apprentice ReunitedSoon after leaving the Land of Rain, a team of ninjas wearing animal masks blocked the path of the delegation.Byakuya looked at the team in front of him, frowned, and said, “These people aren’t from Konoha trying to attack us, are they? I’ll go over and kill them all.”“Byakuya, don’t be so hasty…”Konan said this, but she was already prepar...

Chapter 118: Amegakure Diplomatic TeamCompared to Konohagakure, Amegakure is undoubtedly weaker.Although in terms of Kage-level ninjas, Amegakure is not far behind Konoha, but other than that, Amegakure is far inferior to Konoha.To be blunt, the number of ninjas in Amegakure doesn't even match the number of upper-level ninjas and ANBU in Konoha.However, there is one aspect where Konoha cannot ...

Chapter 117: Young Minato“Black Zetsu, what are you thinking about?” Obito asked when he saw Black Zetsu standing still, lost in thought.Black Zetsu snapped out of his thoughts and replied, “I was considering how to deal with Konoha. Kushina and Minato are too powerful. Capturing the Nine-Tails seems impossible.”“So, have you come up with any plans?” Obito inquired.Black Zetsu shook hi...

Chapter 115: Unbreakable AlliesA week later, during a break, Minato sought out Kakashi.At that moment, Kakashi was lying on a tatami mat, staring blankly at the ceiling fan spinning above him. His hands were wet, dripping water onto the floor, and his eyes were filled with negativity and despair.Ever since Obito and Rin had died, Kakashi had often woken up in the middle of the night, haunted by th...

Chapter 114: A Day in the Life of the Fourth HokageOnly someone with space-time abilities can counter another with space-time abilities.Obito wasn’t sure if Byakuya was offering him a warning or mocking him yet again, but if he truly wanted to weaken Konoha’s strength, his best chance was to target Namikaze Minato.As Minato's former disciple, Obito was well-acquainted with the Flying Thund...

Chapter 113: The Next Target is KonohaSeeing Kakuzu's puzzled look, Byakuya patiently explained:"Kakuzu-senpai, our Akatsuki organization is dedicated to peaceful development and promoting mutual exchange among the Five Great Shinobi Villages. To achieve this goal, we may have to employ some unconventional methods, both now and in the future.""Unconventional methods?!" Kakuzu w...
Mastermind of the Akatsuki 112
Chapter 112: Kakuzu's SurpriseYahiko was long accustomed to Byakuya's flippant remarks.Byakuya lacked sufficient respect for the demigod of Amegakure and even the Kage of the Five Great Ninja Villages. However, given Byakuya's displayed strength, he did have the right to be somewhat irreverent.After pondering for a moment, Yahiko continued,"Minato is a disciple of Jiraiya-sensei, w...

Chapter 109: Shisui and Uchiha Itachi"To kill an enemy at the age of four or five!"Shisui was incredibly surprised. Even though he was considered the clan's top genius, he didn't see blood until he graduated from the Academy at eight and completed his first mission.Tetsuka chuckled, "Yes, Itachi didn't even flinch when he killed the enemy. Maybe that's what a real geniu...

Chapter 108: Shisui ReflectsAfter spending over ten minutes, the Uchiha squad still couldn't find any traces. With no other choice, they returned to Fugaku to report the situation.Hearing this, Fugaku's face became cloudy and uncertain.To rescue Shisui, he had searched the Land of Fire for three whole days. He had finally heard news of Shisui, but upon arriving at this place, the attackers...

Chapter 105: Kakuzu's BeliefOnce the figures of Uchiha, including Tetsuka, had disappeared, Byakuya turned to Shisui and said:"Shisui Uchiha, they abandoned you. Not one of them volunteered to stay in your place. Is such a family worth your loyalty?"Shisui looked at Byakuya, who was trying to sow discord, and replied, "I stayed of my own volition. Don't ruin the relationship I ...

Chapter 104: Byakuya, the Greedy Bitch"Who exactly are you? The Uchiha shouldn't have any conflict with you, right?"Judging by Byakuya’s behavior, this young ninja, who seemed to be from the Amegakure, didn’t appear to have any intention of killing them. It might be because he was wary of their clan and village or for some other reason.Shisui wanted to understand why the boy attack...

Chapter 102: The Origin of the Title "Demi-God"Hanzo didn't like betting, especially with Byakuya. From his experience, no matter whom he bet on, unexpected events always seemed to unfold in Byakuya's favor. Even if he wins, there were few benefits. Heck, he might even be outsmarted by Byakuya.I mean, if he had the capacity to even race Byakuya, he wouldn’t have become Byakuya’...

Chapter 101: Kakuzu and Uchiha freeAfter leaving the Land of Rain and entering the Land of Fire, the weather became noticeably clearer. Basking in the warm sunlight, Byakuya couldn't help but reflect on how much more suitable the Land of Fire was for human habitation compared to the Land of Rain. It was not only better for farming, but the air lacked that damp, moldy smell.With such rich natur...

Chapter 100: The Possibility of Forming the AkatsukiHanzo couldn't understand Byakuya and had no idea where Byakuya's sense of crisis came from in the first place. During his rule over Amegakure, having a qualified elite Jonin successor was already a luxury.Now, the Akatsuki not only possesses several Kage-level combatants but its leader, Byakuya, seems intent on recruiting more subordinat...
