I just returned to Konoha and found that all my clan members were gone.

"I will be the head of the military, and Xiaonan will be in charge of Yuyin's economy. What about you..."

What made Nagato even more curious was that Ye Lan did not assign any position to him. Logically, the plans and arrangements were all from Ye Lan's hands. Even if he held any position, Nagato would not have any objection, but he did not hold any position.

"Forget it. I'm not used to staying in one place for a long time. I have to deal with my own things once everything is settled."

Ye Lan has his own plans, and he also understands that many things still need to be done by professionals. The only advantage of a half-baked person like him is that he can come up with some novel ideas.

"Then I won't arrange for you to form a team with the others. You can move freely in Yuyin."

Not only Xiaonan, but Ye Lan was also surprised at Nagato's trust in her.

After being surprised, he nodded.

...

"So what did you come to see me for?"

Scorpion, who was in Feiliuhu, looked at the bustling construction site in front of him and said with dissatisfaction that he was originally going out to perform a mission, but was actually detained by the leader.

What’s even more surprising is that there are many ninjas helping out at the construction site, which greatly speeds up the progress.

"Don't say that. Isn't this also for the better development of the organization?"

Ye Lan said casually. At this moment, he only had a Yuyin forehead protector hanging around his waist. The Yuyin ninjas passing by all looked at him with respect.

"I just wanted to find a quiet place to study puppets. I didn't expect you to adapt so quickly. Did you throw away all the forehead protectors in Konoha?"

Scorpion's tone was slightly sarcastic. Even a traitor would not change his tactics as quickly as Ye Lan.

"Do not care of details."

Ye Lan seemed not to hear Scorpion's sarcasm and waved his hand casually.

Two days ago, Pein personally announced in Akatsuki that Itachi was a spy of Konoha and had been solved. And Ye Lan and Sasuke officially joined Akatsuki.

These people had different thoughts about the joining of Ye Lan and Sasuke. Some were disdainful, some just wanted to watch the show, and except for the clamoring Feiduan, no one wanted to fight with Ye Lan.

In order to allow Ye Lan to move around the village better, Nagato asked Konan to give Ye Lan the identity of a Yugakure Jonin, so he would wear the Yugakure forehead protector.

As for Konoha's forehead protector, it must have turned into powder by then.

"I just wanted you to come here because I think you have good hands-on skills, so I want you to help me make something."

Ye Lan took out the blueprint he had drawn and handed it to Xie.

Scorpion was also a little curious, and thinking of the leader's instructions, he took the drawings with rare patience.

He was about to throw away the drawings just after reading them, and his deep voice rarely showed some anger.

"Are you kidding me, asking me to make something that's not even a toy!"

Ye Lan hurriedly took the blueprint that Scorpion threw away. He was not so panicked when he fought with Danzo. Now that he had lost this thing, he really had to draw it again. He had spent a lot of effort to draw it in the first place.

"Why are you so angry? You are not young anymore, why are you still acting like a child?"

Ye Lan muttered while holding the blueprint.

"Uchiha Yelan, do you really think I don't dare to take action?"

Scorpion was really pissed off. People who didn't respect art were the biggest insult to him. It would be better for him to not wait for Xiao to make such a thing.

Just when Scorpion was about to take action, Ye Lan stretched out two fingers.

Scorpion was still puzzled by Ye Lan's actions, and Ye Lan directly told him the answer.

"Double! If you can make this thing, I will double the puppet materials I provide you next time!"

"You little brat, am I so easily bribed? You underestimate my pursuit of art!"

After hearing this, Scorpion not only did not show the happy expression Ye Lan imagined, but became even angrier, and that expression did not seem like he was pretending.

Ye Lan was puzzled. Seeing that Scorpion was about to take out the scroll for using the puppet, he quickly extended another finger.

"Three times. I'll give you three times the materials, okay? This is the most benefit I can get for you."

"make a deal!"

Scorpion took the scroll back in an instant and snatched the blueprint from Ye Lan's hand.

The skillful movements seemed to have been rehearsed countless times in his mind, and Ye Lan was stunned.

Didn't we agree to pursue art? We agreed that my works would be an insult to you, how come it has become like this now?

"How about the drawings I drew?"

Ye Lan looked at Scorpion and said unhappily.

"Compared to your strength, it's a pile of shit!"

Scorpion's merciless evaluation caught Ye Lan off guard.

"Your explanation of the principle is so rubbish. How did you come up with such a result? There is no process. How did you guess it? Apart from being a little creative, it is completely useless."

Ye Lan suppressed his unbalanced mood and kept his mouth shut. As expected, professional matters require professional people.

After Scorpion had seen almost everything, he couldn't help but ask.

"Can that thing be made?"

"As long as there are enough materials, it will be fine. Except for some places that need more experiments, it's not a big problem."

Scorpion put away the blueprint. He didn't expect that he could get so many puppet materials by making such a thing this time. It was indeed a big profit. It was much more comfortable than doing tasks outside in the wind and sun and getting a little reward.

"Then remember to show it to me when you're done."

If Yuyin wants to develop, the development of science and technology is the most important.

If he wants to quickly improve Yuyin's overall strength, he can train the next generation, but the time will not be able to keep up with Nagato's plan, so Ye Lan can only start from this aspect.

After sending the scorpion away, a familiar black cat appeared in Ye Lan's sight.

Ye Lan walked forward, picked up the black cat and said helplessly.

"Where have you been these days? I was just looking for you."

Originally, Ye Lan could have used psychic magic to summon him, but he was so busy that he forgot about it for a moment. If he hadn't seen him by chance, he wouldn't have known where this guy had gone crazy.

"Oh my, meow, Ye Lan, I just took a walk around Yugakure, and the food here really can't compare to Konoha."

This black cat is exactly the Naraku that Ye Lan signed with Grandma Cat.

Ye Lan weighed the cat and found that it seemed to have gained some weight.

"Since you miss Konoha so much, I will send you on a mission."

"Meow?"

Naraku was a little confused. They had just run away from Konoha, so why were they asking it to go back now?

"I just want you to deliver a letter. Here, give it to a man named Hatake Kakashi."

Ye Lan took out the letter he had already written and handed it to Naraku.

"Kakashi, who is that?"

Ye Lan covered his face. He forgot that Naraku had never seen Kakashi, so he had to describe it to him.

"Yes, he is a jonin from Konoha. He wears a mask, has white hair, and looks like he deserves a beating."

"Nyan, after delivering the letter, is it okay for me to stay in Konoha for a while?"

Naraku called out a few times to indicate that he remembered it, and then began to sweep his tail at Ye Lan in a flattering manner.

"The rest is up to you. Just give him the letter."

Ye Lan stood up. When it comes to things like delivering letters, the Ninja Cat clan is still quite reliable.

Seeing this, Naraku nodded, turned around and disappeared from Ye Lan's sight. This hidden method made Ye Lan a little envious.

"Heh, Uchiha Obito..."

After this failure, Obito is likely to set his sights on Kakashi. Ye Lan believes that Kakashi will give him a surprise.

Obito would certainly never have thought that he, a "rebel ninja", could have a connection with Konoha's elite jonin.

If he went there rashly, Obito would definitely suffer a great loss.

...

"Ahh~"

"What's wrong? Is Kakashi not feeling well?"

Kai looked at Kakashi who looked a little tired. For a Jonin, getting sick has become a rare occurrence.

"Ah, nothing? Maybe I just didn't get enough rest..."

Kakashi looked a little melancholy. Ever since he learned the truth about his father's death, he has changed a little and become more lazy.

Maybe Ye Lan was right, ninja is just a profession.

Sometimes Kakashi would have such an idea in his mind.

But Kakashi suddenly paused when he reached an intersection.

"What's wrong, Kakashi?"

Kai, who appeared to be careless but was a careful observer, noticed something unusual and asked directly.

"No, let's go."

Kakashi glanced at the black cat watching him in the shadows, and slowly answered Kai.
