Chapter 682: Where Is Zhang Men?

Madara Uchiha, the Rain Hidden Village is just ahead.

Senju Hashirama pointed at the distant outline of the village, his expression puzzled as he asked.

Can you tell us why you came here?

At first he simply thought Madara Uchiha had come here for sightseeing, but now it seemed not to be as he imagined.

Madara Uchiha seemed to have another purpose for coming here.

Qianshou Feijian and Yuzhibo Quannai both cast puzzled glances at him.

Madara Uchiha, seeing this, could only speak plainly; after all, they were already here, and even if he didn't say it now, they would soon find out.

I want to reclaim the Akatsuki leader's Rinnegan.

"Rinnegan?!" Qianshou Feijian's face showed surprise.

Didn't that kid already give the eyes back to Madara Uchiha?

Then why does he still come here to take back the eyes?!

Moreover, strictly speaking, those Rinnegan aren't his, are they?

I wonder what this timeline's Madara Uchiha will think upon learning this…

Facing the shocked and puzzled gazes of the few, Madara Uchiha said in a deep voice.

I intend to give these eyes to Lian Ye.

They do not know what happened in the Fourth Ninja World War timeline.

Naturally they also do not understand why Madara Uchiha would do this.

Qianshou Feijian originally wanted Madara Uchiha not to meddle with the timeline at will, but upon hearing the eyes were for Lian Ye, he stopped short of speaking.

As long as Madara Uchiha does not destroy the Ninja World, he has no right to interfere with the other's choice.

"Brother."

Yuzhibo Quannai felt a tinge of jealousy: why does brother only prepare a gift for Lian Yejun and not a pair of Rinnegan for him?

If he were to have the Rinnegan, surely Qianshou Feijian would not dare speak loudly to him.

"I'll give you a pair when the chance arises."

Madara Uchiha naturally saw Quannai's little thought and gently patted his head.

Yuzhibo Quannai, seeing this, obediently nodded.

As long as brother doesn't forget me, that's all…

The four did not continue the discussion and instead headed to Rain Hidden Village.

Unfortunately, when they reached the Akatsuki base, there was not a single person inside.

Qianshou Feijian carefully observed the surroundings and voiced his analysis.

"Looking at the surroundings, they must have left not long ago."

"Madara Uchiha, should we chase after them?"

Senju Hashirama looked at his close friend, seeking his opinion.

Madara Uchiha was silent for a moment, then gave a slight nod.

"Chase!"

He was determined to obtain the Rinnegan; he could not let anyone escape.

The few did not hesitate, following the trail left by the Akatsuki members.

Meanwhile.

The Akatsuki members arrived at the cave where Lian Ye and Tuan Cang had previously hidden.

At that moment, it was empty.

"Their trail vanished here."

Heavenly Way Pain stared at the marks inside the cave, his voice cold as he said.

In other words, the clues end here.

"Damn it!" Jiaodu nearly fainted with anger, "Leader, let's search the area again!"

He was unwilling to just watch Lian Ye roll up the money and escape successfully.

That was the wealth their organization had amassed over countless years, now all taken by Lian Ye.

That hurts more than being killed!

"Continue the search."

Heavenly Way Pain, seeing this, could only continue issuing orders.

In reality, he did not think they could locate Lian Ye and Tuan Cang's trail.

Someone who could defeat Mask Man so easily would not be so easily found by them.

Those funds are probably never coming back.

Fortunately, Zhang Men is not very interested in money; earning it is merely a means to better achieve his ideals.

Having no money is fine; capturing all Tailed Beasts can also fulfill his ideals.

Moreover, the organization's funds are also a way to recruit Jiaodu.

Since the money is gone now, it is only natural to let Jiaodu work for free to repay the debt.

Letting him handle the money caused it to be taken; this guy is certainly at fault!

"Jiaodu, I feel you're doomed."

Fei Duan looked at Jiaodu's miserable state and began to kick him while he's down.

"The money's gone, the leader will definitely be angry."

"You, shut up!" Jiaodu shouted furiously, "I will definitely find Lian Ye and take all the money back."

Not only to get the money back, but to take it back even more aggressively!

Who gave him the nerve to scheme about his own money!

"I hope you can find someone."

Fei Duan doesn't think Jiaodu can find anyone.

Thinking carefully, Lian Ye and Tuan Tuan's appearance back then was too abrupt.

It was as if the encounter was deliberately staged, the purpose being to infiltrate the Akatsuki and swindle money.

At that time, he felt something was off.

Why would someone so powerful voluntarily join the Akatsuki?

You have to know that most of the people in the organization were basically forced to join.

"Mr. Itachi Uchiha, can we find your clan members?"

Gan Shi Gui Jiao carefully observed the surroundings, yet found no trace of anything.

He habitually asked Itachi.

Itachi Uchiha frowned but said nothing.

He kept wondering who Lian Ye actually was, and why he had never seen him before.

He doesn't claim to know every member of the Uchiha Clan, but at least has some impression of them.

But he has no impression of Lian Ye at all.

He originally intended to find a suitable opportunity to gather intelligence.

Who could have thought that the other party would, on the second day after arriving at the organization, grab the money and run!

Now there seems to be little chance of finding Lian Ye.

Di Da La and Red Sand Scorpion wandered aimlessly, indifferent to the matter of finding the traitor.

If it weren't for the leader's orders, they would have left long ago.

To the two of them, everything else was unimportant; only the art they pursued mattered most.

"Where is Zhang Men?"

At that moment, a magnetic voice sounded behind them.

Suddenly, Madara Uchiha and three others appeared out of nowhere, watching Di Da La and Red Sand Scorpion.

"What Zhang Men?" Di Da La curled his lip, "I don't know him."

He truly wasn't lying; he had never heard that name.

Red Sand Scorpion said nothing, the few people in front of him gave him a very dangerous feeling.

"You're a member of the Akatsuki, aren't you?" Qianshou Feijian stepped forward and asked, "Where is your leader?"

Upon hearing that, Di Da La instantly understood—they were here to cause trouble for the leader!

Thinking that, he instantly prepared for battle.

"You have no right to inquire about the leader's whereabouts!"

Saying that, he pulled out a clay bomb.

Red Sand Scorpion, seeing the situation, could only assume a combat stance, cursing Di Da La as a fool in his mind.

Didn't he notice that the other looked trouble right away!

"Brother, leave it to me."

Yuzhibo Quannai was eager to show off in front of his brother.

When he was fighting the defiled earth Feijian in Konoha, his brother went to handle the Tailed Beast and didn't see it.

Now finally he had a chance to show himself.

Madara Uchiha nodded, choosing not to stop Quan Nai.

With him around, the younger brother couldn't possibly be in danger!

"Madara, aren't we here to find the Akatsuki leader?"

Senju Hashirama scratched his head, asking with some confusion.

"Why do they seem about to start fighting?"

Madara Uchiha and Qianshou Feijian: "…"
