Chapter 413: A Sect with Two Supremes

Three years later, Konoha was in its thirty‑second year.

"Lian Ye, it seems Madara no longer wants us..."

At the Qianshou Feijian Residence, Senju Hashirama wore a worried expression.

Since four years ago when Feijian discovered his identity, he was forced to reveal Madara's whereabouts.

Since then, he has not seen his close friend again.

During that time, he went out a few times.

He went to the cave where he and Madara once lived, hoping to find his friend's trace.

But he came up empty each time.

Madara Uchiha seemed to have vanished into thin air, leaving no trace in the Ninja World.

Hashirama often wondered, if he hadn't been discovered by Feijian back then.

Perhaps this wouldn't have happened.

"Uncle Hashirama, relax," Lian Ye said softly. "Lord Madara hasn't abandoned us; he must have his own reasons, so you needn't worry."

These years, Hashirama would occasionally come over to ask him about Madara's whereabouts.

He felt a bit helpless about it.

If Ban Daye doesn't show himself, no one can hope to find him.

He is probably hiding in some nook right now.

"If Madara contacts you, be sure to tell me immediately!"

Before leaving, Senju Hashirama specifically reminded him.

"Understood, Uncle Hashirama."

"Ban Daye, you really aren't abandoning me, are you?" Lian Ye muttered softly.

If Ban Daye doesn't tell him where he is and one day dies...

Who will inherit his legacy?

Would it be like in the original work, tricking an unlucky fool like Zhang Men into inheriting?

No way!

Better to keep it for myself than give it to that Zhang Men kid.

Has Ban Daye forgotten that he is the only one who supported Madara's Moon's Eye project?

Lian Ye only feels abandoned.

It feels like an old father handing his inheritance to outsiders while denying it to his own.

He plans to wait a while longer, then leave the village to search for Ban Daye's whereabouts.

Although Dao Ba refuses to tell him, if he tries he can still extract information!

"Kid, has Big Brother come looking for you about Madara again?"

On his way back, Qianshou Feijian ran into a disappointed Big Brother and immediately understood what was happening.

After all, over the years Big Brother has come looking for Lian Ye more than once.

"Yes, Uncle," Lian Ye did not deny.

"That Madara fellow is probably hiding in a dark corner, plotting the Moon's Eye."

Qianshou Feijian snorted coldly.

As long as Madara doesn't show himself, they basically can't find him.

The Ninja World is too vast; locating someone who deliberately hides is extremely difficult.

But from another perspective.

If Madara stays hidden, he cannot carry out the Moon's Eye plan.

Since that's the case, he doesn't bother to intervene.

Perhaps in a few years Madara will die in some dark corner, unknown to anyone.

Qianshou Feijian's gaze fell on Lian Ye.

"Kid, if you have any news about Madara, be sure to tell me at once."

"Understood, Uncle."

Lian Ye agreed outwardly, but thought otherwise inside.

If he truly tells this old kid Ban Daye's location, how will he inherit the legacy later?

Ban Daye wouldn't give the inheritance to a White-eyed Wolf.

Perhaps Ban Daye's silence is inseparable from this old kid.

Looks like he'll have to find a time to seek Ban Daye.

Maybe by now he has already awakened the Rinnegan.

According to the original story, in a few years the Second Ninja World War will break out.

And Zhang Men has possessed the Rinnegan since childhood.

This indicates Ban Daye awakened the Rinnegan during this period and transplanted the eyes onto Zhang Men.

Lian Ye must go to stop Ban Daye's foolish actions.

Leaving the Rinnegan to others is less good than keeping it for himself.

All that scheming is just to make Zhang Men use Reincarnation Born to revive himself, right?

Give the Rinnegan to himself.

He would tell him that Infinite Moon Reading is merely Heijue's plot.

Thus, if Ban Daye learns that the ideal of pursuing Ninja World Peace is wrong, he won't need to use the Rinnegan to live another life.

Tsk tsk, the plan is truly perfect!

Now I can get a pair of Rinnegan for free.

Lian Ye feels like he's an absolute genius!

He alone was able to stop Ban Daye from carrying out the "Moon's Eye" plan, directly averting a war.

Hashirama Residence.

Back home, Hashirama sat on the eaves, gazing at the distant Hokage Rock.

"Ban, where exactly are you?"

He hadn't expected that a perfectly ordinary family visit would cause his close friend to leave his side.

If he were given another chance.

He would never be so careless as to let Feijian discover his trail.

Unfortunately, there is no Regret Medicine in the world.

"Grandpa, stop spacing out."

Gangshou, at some point, leapt onto the roof and said with a smile.

"Xiaogang, what's up?"

Senju Hashirama heard his granddaughter's words, still resting his chin on both hands while looking into the distance.

Having not seen his close friend for several years, he always felt a hollow emptiness inside.

Now he is uninterested in anything.

Ordinary people simply don't understand this feeling.

He couldn't help recalling the scenes of living in a cave with Ban back then.

Those were his lost youth!

"Grandpa, shall we go to the casino and play a couple of hands?"

Gangshou's words pulled his thoughts back, and his dim eyes regained their sparkle.

"Really?"

"Xiaogang, do you still have money on you? I recall you lost everything yesterday, didn't you?"

"Of course I do!" Gangshou pulled a thick stack of silver notes from her bosom, "A friend of mine got a publishing fee today and lent me some."

She said, taking out about half of them and handing them to Hashirama, confidently adding.

"Grandpa, I have a feeling that today the two of us—grandfather and grandson—can turn the tables!"

"Hahaha, I have the same feeling!"

Senju Hashirama took the silver notes, and a bright smile reappeared on his face.

Only while gambling can one temporarily forget the sorrow of losing a close friend.

"Believe that this money will be the key to our comeback!"

"Exactly, that's it!"

"Hahaha!" The two laughed upward in unison.

In the courtyard, Xuanwo Mizuto: "……"

The grandfather and grandson are heading to the casino to deliver money again.

She is completely out of tricks regarding this.

If you like to play, just play.

Anyway, the money they've lost over the years could buy another mansion.

I wonder why Xiaogang's friend lent her so much money?

Xuanwo Mizuto could only silently watch the grandfather and grandson leave the house cheerfully.

The ninja world lost two unimportant powerhouses, and the gambling table welcomed a once‑in‑a‑century prized lamb.

In a short span, two such prized lambs appeared.

It could be called a double supreme.

The gamblers instantly boiled over at the sight.

The outcome was obvious without even thinking.

The two lambs, as soon as they entered the arena, were targeted by all the vicious wolves.

In the end, the two ended up heavily in debt and left the casino dejected.

If the casino weren't Lian Ye's property.

Hashirama and Gangshou couldn't get out at all; they could only stay inside, waiting for family to bring money to ransom them.

Lian Ye, at home, was daydreaming about how to inherit Ban Daye's legacy.

Unconsciously, another large sum of money was deposited.
