Chapter 499: Let Him Take Some of the Nine‑Tail Chakra

Madara Uchiha stopped, turned around again, and looked at Lian Ye, his face smeared with blood.

"Kid, are you still Unrelenting?"

He didn't understand what belief this kid had been steadfastly clinging to all this time.

Even knowing he was outmatched, he still stepped forward to block.

"I said I'd stop you from carrying out the 'Moon's Eye' plan, so you could return to your village and retire in peace."

Lian Ye's gaze was firm, with no hint of joking.

"But now I may have to break my word..."

Ban Daye was too powerful; a normal fight couldn't defeat him.

He could only employ the power of his right eye, and during the gap when he couldn't use the Rinnegan, he used a killing technique to slay him.

Sorry, Hashirama Uncle.

"Hahaha!"

Madara Uchiha was amused by Lian Ye's naive look and couldn't help but laugh heartily.

Those words were surprisingly as naive as Hashirama's.

"In the current Ninja World, no one can stop me from realizing my plan; your prideful Kaleidoscope Sharingan is merely a shallow shoal I've long since crossed."

His eyes have long left the ordinary Sharingan range, advancing into a far more powerful domain.

The Rinnegan is not something a mere Kaleidoscope can compare to.

Moreover, this kid's eyes aren't even an Eternal Kaleidoscope, so where does his confidence to contend with him come from?

"It seems my excessive mercy gave you the illusion of being able to match me."

Madara Uchiha's gaze turned slightly cold as he silently stared at Lian Ye before him.

"Since that's the case, stay here and wait for the day my plan succeeds."

He wouldn't kill Lian Ye; at most he'd grievously wound him, leaving him unable to resist.

Before the words finished, he simultaneously commanded four shadows to launch an attack.

Lian Ye suddenly covered his left eye; his right eye emitted a scarlet glow, and a stream of blood tears instantly spurted from his sockets.

"Hachiman God!"

The right eye's Dojutsu possesses the ability to forcibly strip a target's attributes; this is his second time using the right eye so far.

Temporarily deprive the Rinnegan of its power!

The moment he employed the right eye's Dojutsu, he only felt his right eye's pupil power vanish wildly, the eye filling with blood, rendering it completely blind.

At the same time, Madara Uchiha suddenly noticed the four dispatched shadows vanished without any warning.

Moreover, his control over the Rinnegan also disappeared.

He could not use any ability of his eyes.

"Kaleidoscope's Dojutsu?"

Madara Uchiha's face showed surprise, but he quickly composed his expression.

He naturally knew that Lian Ye's right eye Dojutsu could temporarily strip others' attributes, but didn't expect this move to also affect the Rinnegan.

"But with your meager pupil power, how long can you sustain it?"

According to Ban's estimation, Lian Ye's move couldn't last long; a brief delay would suffice.

"Now!"

Lian Ye drew the Tachi planted in the ground and slashed at Madara Uchiha.

At present, Ban Daye cannot wield the Rinnegan's power, making this his weakest moment.

He only needs to cut him down, and it will be over.

But Lian Ye, having used his right eye's ability, suffered severe aftereffects on his spiritual energy.

Combined with his earlier injuries, he still struggled to match Madara Uchiha.

Qianshou Feijian, seeing this, immediately dragged his severely wounded body into the fight.

Unfortunately, both were at the end of their strength, far from being Ban's opponents.

"Given your condition, even if I don't use the Rinnegan, you two are still no match!"

Madara Uchiha seized the opportunity, threw a backhand punch at Qianshou Feijian's face, and side‑stepped to kick Lian Ye's chest.

The two, already at the end of their strength, were instantly blasted away by the massive force.

The entire process didn't even last a minute.

Lian Ye lay on the ground, staring blankly at the sky.

His right eye was completely blind after using "Hachiman God".

Had he known, he should have used the right eye's ability at the start of the battle.

In his current grievously wounded state, using his eye's ability again was too late.

Sometimes overthinking makes one waver, leading to ultimate failure.

If he had begun with the resolve to kill Ban Daye, things would never have escalated to an irrecoverable point.

"Kid, I know you want to change everything, but without great power, nothing can be altered."

Madara Uchiha looked down at the fallen Lian Ye and said coldly.

He didn't know what Lian Ye desired, but it no longer mattered to him now.

"The 'Moon's Eye' plan is about to be realized; the Ninja World will soon usher in true peace."

"The dream you cannot fulfill, I can help you achieve in Infinite Moon Reading!"

"Now lie here and cease any futile resistance."

Madara Uchiha said this and headed toward Senju Clan Land.

Before leaving, he gathered two black rods with his left and right hands, drove them into Lian Ye's and Qianshou Feijian's arms, pinning them firmly to the ground.

He did not choose to kill the two, but instead spared their lives.

Perhaps it is that those who want to oppose him will witness the day of Ninja World Peace with their own eyes.

When the Hachiman God in his right eye finished stripping the Rinnegan, Madara Uchiha casually flicked away the Konoha ninja who attempted to stop him.

"Kid, are you okay?"

Qianshou Feijian pulled out the black rod from his arm, covered his injured arm and trudged laboriously to Lian Ye's side.

Madara Uchiha's power far exceeds imagination; Konoha may truly be unable to stop him.

Could it be that we really have to let him succeed?

"Uncle, I'm fine."

Lian Ye pulled out the black rod, sat up from the ground, and his face showed no despair that Feijian had imagined.

"Uncle, let's take some of his Nine‑Tailed Chakra away."

"Kid, are you about to give up?"

Qianshou Feijian's expression was complicated; he could understand Lian Ye's feelings.

Madara Uchiha is too powerful; even if they gave their all, they could not defeat him.

"I haven't given up; isn't there still a Tailed Beast that hasn't been captured?" Lian Ye looked at Qianshou Feijian and smiled, "The situation isn't as bad as we imagined; we still have one final chance to block him!"

Qianshou Feijian silently nodded.

At this point, this is all we can do.

The two supported each other and headed toward Senju Clan Land, and along the way they saw countless Konoha ninja lying on the ground.

Fortunately, Madara Uchiha seemed not to intend total slaughter, and since those present were all Jonin rank, most were merely gravely wounded on the ground.

At this moment, Medical Ninja have already begun treatment.

Tsunade moved among the casualties, using a slug to treat the severely wounded ninja.

Lian Ye watched the scene and sighed helplessly.

Ban Daye is unreasonably strong, but fortunately the Three‑Tails did not fall into his hands.

The reason he agreed to let Madara Uchiha take away part of the Nine‑Tailed Chakra is not because he is out of options.

Of course, there are also reasons of that sort.

But primarily, he knows the Three‑Tails has already revived.

Lian Ye once forced a Spirit Summoning Contract with the Three‑Tails, assuming that with the Three‑Tails' death the contract would vanish.

But a few days ago, he suddenly sensed a connection with the Three‑Tails.

This shows the Three‑Tails has revived, and the Spirit Summoning Contract remains valid!

As soon as Madara Uchiha leaves, he can summon the Three‑Tails and then kill it outright.

Without the Three‑Tails, the Moon's Eye plan cannot hope to be realized.

But he did not tell anyone; not because he deliberately concealed it, but because he feared that Bai Jue would learn of it.

He cannot guarantee whether Bai Jue has been watching him all along.

Such words are best left unsaid!
