Chapter 435: Inheriting the Legacy

The battle ended cleanly and decisively.

Bu Lu Bi was not a perfect jinchuriki like Lao Zi and could not perfectly use the Tail Beast Transformation.

He hadn't even had time to use the Tailed Beast's power.

The battle was already over.

"Done."

Lian Ye took off his mask and casually wiped away a line of bloody tears from the corner of his eye.

For him, the ability of his left eye was sufficient; there was no need to use the ability of his right eye at all.

Was it that he didn't want to use it?

Actually, he just didn't dare to use it.

The right eye's Dojutsu 【Hachiman God】 was extremely domineering, capable of forcibly "stripping away" a certain attribute of the target.

Such an ability required an enormous amount of Pupil Power to consume.

Ever since he awakened his eyes until now, he hadn't dared to use the Dojutsu of his right eye.

If he used it a few times, he might end up blinding his eyes.

Although he discovered that the Pupil Power consumed by the Kaleidoscope could slowly recover, he still didn't dare to use it.

Recovery couldn't keep up with consumption; he would still go blind.

He was still young now and hadn't yet inherited Ban Daye's legacy; he couldn't just play around and blind his eyes like this.

Another day of envying Er Zhu Zi.

Having a good big brother willing to voluntarily offer up his legacy really made a difference.

If you played your eyes blind, you could immediately transplant new eyes.

Unlike him, who could only silently wait for the right moment to inherit Ban Daye's legacy.

"Comparing people only makes you angry..."

Lian Ye sighed helplessly and hoisted Bu Lu Bi onto his shoulder.

Deep underground, dozens of meters down.

"You're telling me that brat is using my name?"

Madara Uchiha's expression was strange; this brat was actually flying his banner to swindle people.

But he didn't care about it.

As long as Lian Ye could collect the Nine Tailed Beasts for him, what harm was there in using his name in the Ninja World?

The "Moon's Eye" was originally his, Madara Uchiha's, plan to achieve Ninja World Peace.

In essence, there was nothing wrong with Lian Ye doing this.

"Lord Ban, I'm back."

Soon, Lian Ye brought the unconscious Bu Lu Bi to the Underground Space and casually threw him on the ground like trash.

Madara Uchiha looked at Bu Lu Bi on the ground, his eyes narrowing slightly.

He knew that this brat Lian Ye was not honest.

Capturing the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki was not difficult for him, yet he had dragged it out for a month.

If he hadn't given the order, who knew how long this brat would have delayed.

It seemed he would have to find another way to make Lian Ye capture the Tailed Beasts.

Directly issuing a time-limited mission would mean he wouldn't have to worry about him slacking off.

Lian Ye noticed Ban Daye's undisguised look of suspicion and couldn't help but feel helpless.

Ever since Ban Daye got old, he had started becoming paranoid.

He was actually doubting his loyalty.

Who didn't know that he was Ban Daye's most loyal follower?

Madara Uchiha had left the Village for so many years, and only he had loyally stayed by his side.

Now he was doubting his loyalty; it was truly disheartening.

Madara Uchiha, just like before, formed hand seals to control the Outsider Demon Statue, extending Lock Chains to absorb the Eight-tailed's chakra.

The Eight-tailed was pulled out of the Sealed Space by the Lock Chains, and seeing the Outsider Demon Statue, it felt like the sky was falling.

Why was this thing here?!

"No, no!"

No matter how its massive body struggled, it was futile, and it was soon absorbed by the Outsider Demon Statue.

As the Eight-tailed was absorbed, Bu Lu Bi on the ground also lost his life. And one of the tightly closed eight eyes of the Outsider Demon Statue slowly opened.

Lian Ye knew that once all Nine Tailed Beasts were collected, the Ten-Tails could be revived.

There were still seven Tailed Beasts left; he could continue to stall.

In a few more years, he would make Ban Daye pay.

It was only natural for Madara Uchiha to distrust Lian Ye; after all, he had never planned to carry out the "Moon's Eye" plan from the start.

Everything he was doing now was just to appease Ban Daye.

If the two of them really completely fell out.

Lian Ye wouldn't mind calling his buddies to gang up on the aged Ban Daye.

Fists fear the young.

He didn't believe Madara Uchiha could be strong enough to defeat a group of them, all young people, at the same time.

If he really was that strong.

He would have gone to capture the Tailed Beasts himself long ago; why would he still need to rely on him?

Lian Ye didn't strike directly simply because he wanted to give Ban Daye a respectable appearance.

Madara Uchiha being defeated by him alone and being defeated by a group.

The meanings of the two are different.

If Lian Ye alone defeats Madara Uchiha, he could use the truth to persuade him to return to the village and retire.

He could also inherit the inheritance or something along the way.

But if it's a group, it becomes an endless, unending situation.

He has spent so many years with Madara and does not want to reach that point.

Since the moment Madara Uchiha awakened the Rinnegan, their relationship could never return to how it was.

Madara indeed admires Lian Ye, but values the "Moon's Eye" plan even more.

Before the ideal of Ninja World Peace, everything else counts for nothing.

Even the so‑called Konoha friendship is no longer important.

"Kid, you've done well; now continue to Capture and Seize Tail Beast."

Madara Uchiha looked at the silent Lian Ye and said in a deep voice.

"I'll give you a month; I want to see a new Tailed Beast."

"Lord Ban, I'm still at war; where would I have time to Capture other Tailed Beasts?"

Lian Ye began to recount the hardships on the Battlefield, hoping he could thereby extend the time.

What a joke.

Catching one Tailed Beast a month means, in less than a year, we could revive the Ten-Tails, wouldn't it?

We must not let Ban Daye have his wish fulfilled!

Madara Uchiha's face showed little expression; he simply watched Lian Ye's performance quietly.

This kid is definitely trying to stall by playing the victim…

Even after Lian Ye finished speaking, Madara still said nothing.

After an unknown amount of time, Madara finally spoke slowly.

"Kid, you have the Flying Thunder God Technique; Capture and Seize Tail Beast is not difficult for you."

Lian Ye: "…"

Moreover, after he explained so much just now, Ban Daye didn't absorb any of it at all.

"Bai Jue."

As Ban's words fell, two Bai Jue emerged from the ground, each carrying a weapon.

Lian Ye saw the weapons in Bai Jue's hands and was instantly stunned on the spot.

These aren't Ban Daye's Flame Fan and sickle?

Could it be that he has already begun to inherit the inheritance now?!

Just as Lian Ye thought, the two Bai Jue respectfully handed the weapons to Lian Ye.

"This is the weapon I used back then; now I pass it to you."

Madara Uchiha's ancient, still eyes fixed on Lian Ye, and he whispered.

"Kid, I hope you won't disappoint me."

This was Madara's first time saying such words in front of Lian Ye…

He doesn't know why Lian Ye deliberately delays the Capture of Tail Beasts, but he wants Lian Ye to see the error of his ways and wholeheartedly implement the Moon's Eye plan.

The two will together achieve true Ninja World Peace!

"I understand, Ban Daye."

Lian Ye took the Flame Fan and sickle, and said solemnly.

Since he has inherited Ban Daye's legacy, he can only Capture another Tailed Beast.

Who gave him such short hands?

As for the later Tailed Beasts, we'll discuss them later.

Anyway, we can't let Ban Daye gather all the Tailed Beasts within a year…
