Chapter 514: Excited Nine-Tails

"Have you decided?"

Zhi Cun Tuan Cang had no objection, but instead asked his friend's opinion again.

In his view, a village's strength should naturally be greater, and the Tailed Beasts of other ninja villages have all perished; only Konoha still has two Tailed Beasts.

Isn't that indirect proof of Konoha's greatness?

But since Lian Ye voluntarily suggested releasing the Tailed Beasts back to the mountains, he must have his own considerations.

He doesn't need to argue; he only needs to agree.

His friend is indeed correct; the village no longer needs to rely on the power of Tailed Beasts as a deterrent.

"I've decided; we don't need to look for a jinchuriki any more, just release the Tailed Beasts when the time comes."

Lian Ye had no hesitation and sealed the decision outright.

He knows that Zhi Cun Tuan Cang will not refute his opinion; Zhi Cun Tuan Cang has never opposed him.

This time is no exception.

Sure enough, just as Lian Ye had expected, Zhi Cun Tuan Cang had no objection.

After a moment of silence, he nodded in agreement.

"Fine, let's go with your idea."

Yuanfei Rizhan saw the two decide on releasing the Tailed Beasts after just a few words.

For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

You finalized it so quickly; why did you call us here?

It feels so unparticipatory!

Having only the right to suggest but no decision power is exactly that.

Zhi Cun Tuan Cang's authority in the village is unshakable; no one can veto his plan.

Of course, except Lian Ye.

In a sense, Lian Ye's decision is Zhi Cun Tuan Cang's decision.

But the reverse is not true...

Uchiha Jing felt a surge of emotion upon seeing this; Zhi Cun Tuan Cang actually allowed Lian Ye to partake in decision‑making.

One must know that Zhi Cun Tuan Cang has always prized power and never permits others to try to influence his decisions.

In the past, those Hokage Advisors of theirs have indeed refuted Zhi Cun Tuan Cang's decisions.

But none of them ever had any effect.

Only Lian Ye can make Zhi Cun Tuan Cang abandon his own steadfast plan.

The two truly are good brothers!

"Do you have any objections?"

Zhi Cun Tuan Cang looked at the few people, as if asking for their opinions.

Everyone: "……"

When Lian Ye and Zhi Cun Tuan Cang both agree, is their opposition really useful?

"Very well, then this matter will be handled by Lian Ye."

Since Lian Ye was the one who raised this, having him handle it poses no problem.

Qianshou Feijian Residence.

"You want to set the Tailed Beasts free?!"

Qianshou Feijian stared at Lian Ye with a strange expression, not understanding what he was thinking.

When did this kid become so compassionate?

He actually cares about the Tailed Beasts' freedom!

If he remembers correctly, most of the Tailed Beasts were killed by him, right?

After all, Madara Uchiha only captured half of the Nine-Tails; Lian Ye captured the other Tailed Beasts.

One could say he is the accomplice of the Moon's Eye plan, the chief culprit who indirectly caused the Tailed Beasts' deaths!

Could it be that after causing so much slaughter, his conscience finally awakened?

"Uncle, don't you think our method of imprisoning the Tailed Beasts is too cruel?"

Lian Ye could not say it was out of concern that a future Nine-Tails Jinchuriki would be killed by a Tailed Beast; he could only explain it this way.

Qianshou Feijian: "???"

It's broken; this kid definitely killed Madara Uchiha himself, causing mental issues.

There's a high possibility that another personality emerged.

Otherwise the current situation can't be explained; given this kid's lazy temperament, he wouldn't even care about Madara Uchiha's Ninja World Peace plan.

He certainly wouldn't care about the freedom of the two Tailed Beasts!

Qianshou Feijian's red eyes stared intently at Lian Ye, trying to read something from his expression.

"Uncle, what do you think I'm doing?"

Facing Qianshou Feijian's aggressively probing gaze, Lian Ye instinctively stepped back.

This old fool is crazy!

Isn't he just planning to release the two Tailed Beasts back to the mountains? Why such a big reaction?!

Why look at me with that kind of stare?

Qianshou Feijian stared at him for a while, found nothing amiss, and then withdrew his gaze.

"Since you've decided, it's up to you then."

Konoha Village is no longer in its founding days; now it no longer needs Tailed Beasts as a military deterrent.

Whether the village has a Tailed Beast is no longer important.

Besides, the other ninja villages have long lost their Tailed Beasts, so Konoha Village losing its Tailed Beast doesn't matter.

Everyone is on the same level, and Konoha Village still occupies an absolute hegemonic position!

When the time comes, we only need to warn the other ninja villages not to make any move on the Tailed Beasts…

Having obtained Senju Hashirama's permission, Lian Ye knows that this matter is settled.

As long as that old kid doesn't oppose him, no one in the village will oppose him.

Hashirama Residence.

"Lian Ye, are you saying the village will no longer need a jinchuriki in the future?"

Xuanwo Mizuto looked at Lian Ye with a surprised expression.

"Yes, Mizuto Ayi, in the future I will release the Nine-Tails and let it regain its freedom."

Xuanwo Mizuto smiled.

She hadn't expected Lian Ye to propose such a thing, but it's fine.

Hashirama's methods back then were indeed somewhat improper.

Having spent so many years with the Nine-Tails, she naturally knows its nature isn't bad.

Unless someone actively provokes a Tailed Beast, they won't arbitrarily attack humans.

Sealed Space.

"Is this guy really planning to let me out?!"

The Nine-Tails, hearing their conversation, showed an incredulous expression.

It thought it would forever be confined to the Sealed Space, but it never expected that the Uchiha kid wanted to set it free to regain itself.

Such a thing was unthinkable even in dreams, yet it actually happened!

For a moment, it was so excited that it couldn't speak.

Only the nine wildly swinging tails behind it displayed its current unrest.

"Hahaha!"

The Nine-Tails finally couldn't suppress its inner joy and burst into laughter.

The survivor becomes king!

The other Tailed Beasts absorbed by the Outsider Demon Statue probably never imagined they'd have a day of rebirth.

Fortunately, at that time Madara Uchiha still retained his humanity, though he had absorbed only half of the chakra.

Otherwise, how could it have a chance to break free?

"The other me believes you know this, and will surely be glad for me, right?"

If the shadow Nine-Tails were to learn its current attitude, it would surely be so angry it couldn't speak.

Unfortunately, the shadow Nine-Tails had long become part of the Outsider Demon Statue.

Originally, Lian Ye followed Madara Uchiha, so the Nine-Tails didn't have much affection for him.

But now it's different; he has become the first human recognized by the Nine-Tails since its sealing decades ago.

Someplace in the Ninja World, an unknown location.

"Lord Ban, that's the situation."

Heijue reported the events in Konoha truthfully.

"Oh? That kid actually wants to release a Tailed Beast..."

Madara Uchiha sneered; that kid wouldn't think his death would completely end things, would he?

But that's fine; in the future, capturing the Three-Tails won't be so troublesome.

"No need to monitor that kid any longer; has the Rinnegan been placed on the pawn?"

"Reporting to Lord Ban, it has already been arranged properly."
