Chapter 451: The Aged Seven-Tails Jinchuriki

"The sun in Konoha Village is as warm and pleasant as always!"

At the Qianshou Feijian Residence, Lian Ye, as usual, wore sunglasses, lay on his private chair sunbathing, and his face rarely showed a contented expression.

After two months of fighting in Rain Country, his clothes were almost molding.

He could hardly feel the warmth and comfort of sunlight.

Now that he's finally back to the village, he can enjoy a leisurely retirement life.

After lunch, Qianshou Feijian ate and then went with Orochimaru to the Laboratory for research, leaving only Lian Ye at home.

Sunbathing without anyone disturbing him is simply a contented life!

"Lord Lian Ye, there are ten days left."

Bai Jue, inopportunely, stuck his head out from the ground and softly reminded.

From the one-month deadline given by Lord Ban, only the final ten days remain.

If Lian Ye doesn't hand over the tailed beast on time, Lord Ban will definitely be very angry, and the consequences will be severe!

"What are you panicking about?" Lian Ye glanced at it sideways, "Didn't you see I just returned to the village?"

"Urge, urge, urge—just as expected, always urging."

Will they even let anyone rest now?

Never mind, I'll rest for two days first, and after I've rested enough, I'll go capture the tailed beast.

"Lord Lian Ye, I've already reminded you; when Lord Ban blames you later, don't drag me into it, okay?"

Bai Jue said weakly, then his body slowly sank into the ground.

Lian Ye's good mood vanished instantly after Bai Jue's interruption.

Lord Ban's existence is indeed a hassle.

If I just ignore him, I'm sure he'll look for pawns to implement the "Moon's Eye" plan.

Then perhaps he'll actually be able to gather all nine Tailed Beasts in a short time.

Rather than letting others capture the tailed beasts, I'd rather catch them myself.

As long as I outwardly obey while secretly defying, continuously dragging out the time.

Until Lord Ban's body ages to a certain extent, then I can tell him the truth.

I hope that once Lord Ban learns the truth, he can abandon the "Moon's Eye" plan and honestly return to the village to retire; otherwise I'll have to make him submit with my fists.

But now Lian Ye can't gauge Lord Ban's exact condition, so confronting him directly carries a higher risk.

Might as well delay another two years...

Currently Lian Ye's success rate in defeating Lord Ban is only seventy percent, but in two more years it could rise to eighty percent.

The longer the delay, the higher the probability of success.

If it really doesn't work, I'll summon my little companions to gang up on the aged Lord Ban.

Though it's a bit unchivalrous, there's no other way.

At worst he'll be crippled, and I'll take care of his retirement and end of life.

Lian Ye stared at the deep blue sky, his eyes behind the sunglasses complex.

Poor Lord Ban, was tricked by Heijue into being crippled.

If it weren't for this behind-the-scenes mastermind, Lord Ban would have long since retired in the village.

He wouldn't be an old man still worrying about Ninja World Peace.

One can only say that Heijue that guy has caused deep harm!

Unfortunately, that guy's whereabouts are unpredictable and he's extremely good at hiding, so he can't be found at all.

But it seems that in the future it will pretend to be Lord Ban's will.

Then we'll see if we can deal with it.

After all, in his view, Heijue is not a good thing.

Day by day, he only knows how to swindle people.

Lian Ye finally resolved in his heart to delay another two years, then tell Lord Ban the truth and bring him back to the village to retire!

In the following days, he kept lying at home sunbathing.

Until only three days remained before the one-month deadline, he leisurely packed his things and left the village.

On the surface it was a long-term mission, but in reality he was going to capture a tailed beast.

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang once again covered for Lian Ye, to handle Qianshou Feijian's inquiries.

One can only say the bond between the two is unusually strong.

"Lord Lian Ye, we've already scouted the whereabouts of all the tailed beasts and jinchuriki; which one do you plan to capture first?"

Bai Jue's intelligence network spans the Ninja World, and has long clarified the distribution of the tailed beasts.

All Lian Ye needs to do is infiltrate and capture according to the instructions.

"Which tailed beast is closest to me?"

Lian Ye intends to first capture the nearby tailed beast, then gradually go after the distant ones.

This not only saves time, but also gives other villages time to react.

Thus strengthening defenses and increasing capture difficulty.

"Lord Lian Ye, the tailed beast nearest to you is the Seven Tails of Longyin Village."

Bai Jue accurately reported the intel.

"The Seven-Tails jinchuriki is old, Longyin Village is looking for a new jinchuriki, and now is a good time to act!"

"Longyin Village?"

Mentioning this small ninja village inevitably reminded Lian Ye of Jiaodu.

I have no idea after all these years whether that guy has been seriously taking bounty missions to earn money.

Currently, he no longer lacks Jiaodu's petty money.

But it's not a matter of lacking money; he mainly enjoys the thrill of robbery.

Unfortunately, he hasn't encountered Jiaodu all these years, otherwise he could have harvested Jiaodu's petty cash.

But it's fine; that guy possesses the secret technique Chidō, and with Five Lives he basically can't die.

During the Capture and Seize Tail Beast, they will inevitably meet.

No need to rush.

At a Di Xia Huan Jin Suo in Someplace in Ninja World, while reviewing the bounty on Jiaodu, his body suddenly shivered without any sign.

It felt as if he were being stared down by a primeval beast!

He, wary, scanned the surrounding Bounty Hunters, and to be safe, he suddenly erupted and slaughtered all those comrades.

Jiaodu stared at the severed limbs on the ground, and the unease in his heart still did not dissipate.

"Looks like I shouldn't go out for a while."

His intuition has always been accurate, having relied on it to get through several crises.

Being cautious is definitely the right move!

Late night, Longyin Village.

A moonless, windy night, a time for murder and arson.

A black silhouette slipped silently into Longyin Village, unnoticed by the guarding ninja.

He appeared on the roof of a house, the brief moonlight briefly illuminated his attire.

Clad in a Black Robe, his face wore a white Uzumaki Mask that revealed only his eyes; those two eyes emitted an eerie red glow in the darkness.

It was Lian Ye, after disguise.

No, now he should be called Madara Uchiha!

When traveling abroad, of course one must wear a cover; accidentally revealing one's identity would be troublesome.

His target is clear: the village's elderly Seven-Tails Jinchuriki.

According to information supplied by Bai Jue, due to age and weakened strength, his control over the Tailed Beast is far inferior to before, and he has been tightly guarded and isolated by the village.

Until a new jinchuriki is found, he has no freedom at all.

"Poor guy, let me free you,"

Anyway, once Longyin Village finds a new jinchuriki, that old guy will have only a dead end.

It would be better for him to die appropriately, using his life to steady Ban Daye.

Lian Ye's figure rose and fell a few times on the roof; the insight of the Sharingan allowed him to easily evade all patrolling ninja.

He soon located the courtyard guarded by special runes, which was the residence of the elderly jinchuriki.

"Got you."
