Chapter 687: Beast, You Still Dare to Return!

"The Rinnegan must never be returned to you!"

Heavenly Path Pain refused without hesitation.

Even if he is not Madara Uchiha's opponent, he still refuses to return the Rinnegan.

Without great power, he cannot obtain a Tailed Beast from the Five Great Ninja Villages, and thus cannot realize the ideal of Ninja World Peace.

People are always selfish.

Even if the Rinnegan truly belongs to Madara Uchiha, he still refuses to return it to its original owner!

Madara Uchiha saw this and knew it would be like this.

Zhang Men won't hand over the eyes so easily; it seems some measures must be taken.

Thinking that, his gaze fell on Xiao Nan.

Their relationship is unusual; as long as they capture someone, they can threaten Zhang Men into revealing his hideout.

By then, whether he likes it or not won't matter.

The weak have no right to oppose the strong!

"Feijian, where did you just run off to?"

Qianshou Feijian had just beaten Lian Ye and returned when he heard his elder brother ask concernedly.

He didn't answer immediately, his gaze landing on Madara.

In fact, he strongly disapproved of Madara's seizure of the Rinnegan, but thinking the eyes were a gift for Lian Ye, he could only turn a blind eye.

Moreover, without the Rinnegan, the Moon's Eye project cannot proceed.

It can be counted as an inadvertent good deed.

Noticing Hashirama's curious gaze, Qianshou Feijian said in a low voice.

"Brother, I just went looking for that Lian Ye kid."

He didn't mention beating anyone up; he just said it casually.

"They're really in this timeline!"

Senju Hashirama's eyes lit up, clearly delighted.

The members of Akatsuki heard this, and the surprise in their eyes vanished in an instant.

This timeline... what does it mean?!

Heijue finally understood the situation!

In front of him were indeed Madara Uchiha, Senju Hashirama and others, but they were not the ones he knew.

The few people it knew had long since died.

The people before him must be from other timelines!

They just used some unknown method to get here...

Heijue's eyes flickered, as if a better idea occurred.

Since they can come here from other timelines, it means he can follow them to other timelines!

If he can find a timeline where his mother isn't sealed, he can have his mother rescue her.

Heijue thought of a better plan; the gloom that Madara had previously stirred up was cleared away.

Hehehe.

What a blessing in disguise!

Having his mother rescue her is certainly far simpler than his own plan.

The other members of Akatsuki didn't have as broad a perspective as Heijue, but they could tell from his words that some people didn't belong here!

Just knowing is of no use; they cannot stop Madara.

Jiaodu already harbored a death wish.

Even the leaders aren't rivals of Madara; the stolen money is probably gone.

Uchiha Lianye!

In his mind, Lian Ye and the brute are equivalent.

Lian Ye is the brute, and the brute is Lian Ye!

Unfortunately, he is powerless, and can only curse the other in his heart to gain a sliver of solace.

"Unwilling?" Madara Uchiha sneered, "You didn't reject my power."

Saying that, he looked at Xiao Nan, who was tightly shielding Pain behind her.

"Little girl, it seems you care about Zhang Men, but you don't know whether he cares about you."

Before the words finished, he instantly appeared before Xiao Nan and grabbed her throat with one hand.

"Return the eyes to me, or you all will die!"

After learning that Lian Ye was also in this timeline, Madara Uchiha lost patience to continue negotiating with Zhang Men.

Sometimes force is the easiest way to solve a problem.

"Xiao Nan!"

Zhang Men, hidden in the Akatsuki base, wore a feral expression.

Miyan is already dead; he cannot lose Xiao Nan again!

Xiao Nan grimaced and shook her head at Heavenly Path Pain, as if she saw Zhang Men's expression in Pain's Rinnegan.

Achieving Ninja World Peace has been their lifelong dream.

She doesn't want Zhang Men to hand over the Rinnegan because of her, as that would make it difficult for Ninja World Peace to be realized later.

After all, Zhang Men is physically crippled and can only rely on the Rinnegan.

Without the Rinnegan, there is no means to achieve Ninja World Peace!

"Zhang Men kid, I'll give you one minute to consider."

Madara Uchiha stared expressionlessly at Pain.

He only wanted to get the Rinnegan back, yet made it so troublesome.

It's really annoying!

"Ban..."

Senju Hashirama showed hesitation, just as he was about to step forward and stop, he was grabbed by Qianshou Feijian.

In his view, Ban was different from before, acting with great restraint.

It's impossible that he would truly go mad enough to kill all the Akatsuki members.

He probably did it out of impatience, just wanting to obtain the Rinnegan quickly.

Senju Hashirama looked surprised; he didn't understand why Qianshou Feijian, who had always disapproved of Ban, would block him.

When did their relationship become so good?

The Akatsuki members wore grim faces, and none of them spoke.

They were all waiting for the leader's decision.

If they don't hand over the Rinnegan, they're most likely doomed.

Madara Uchiha's displayed power was overwhelming, even though they were all powerful rogue ninjas.

But they stood no chance against Ban!

Time passed second by second, just as Xiao Nan was about to suffocate from lack of oxygen.

"Ban, stop now!"

Pain finally spoke, his voice hoarse as he said.

"I am willing to return the Rinnegan!"

Madara Uchiha, seeing this, released his grip on Xiao Nan, and the coldness on his face softened slightly.

"Good choice!"

He didn't really intend a massive slaughter; his main goal was to obtain the pair of Rinnegan.

The Akatsuki members, seeing this, all breathed a sigh of relief.

If the leader refused to hand over the Rinnegan, they would definitely be dealt with here today.

Jiaodu looked at Madara Uchiha's back, feeling on the verge of tears but unable to cry.

What kind of people are they!

Not only did they sweep away all the organization's money, they almost wiped out the Akatsuki.

With such strength, why didn't they speak up earlier? No need to steal the money and run.

Madara Uchiha came to demand money, it's not like he wouldn't give it…

His mood today was like a roller coaster, soaring and plunging.

Not only the money was gone, his life was almost lost too.

"Lord Ban, what are you doing?"

At that moment, an ill-timed voice suddenly rang out.

The others followed the sound and saw Zhi Cun Tuan Zang supporting a bruised and swollen Lian Ye as he walked slowly.

"Beast, you actually still dare to return!!!"

Jiaodu saw Lian Ye appear before him, his blood boiled instantly, and he even temporarily forgot the fear Madara Uchiha had previously caused.

This is the beast!

Not only did he take all the organization's funds, he didn't spare even the private savings he had accumulated over the years!

He was knocked unconscious upon entering the room, and when he woke up, he had nothing on him.

For Jiaodu, this was no different from killing him.

Lian Ye saw the look in Jiaodu's eyes that seemed to want to kill him, and couldn't help but grin.

No matter which timeline Jiaodu came from, he is a good person to Lian Ye.

Jiaodu: "..."

In Jiaodu's eyes, Lian Ye's smile was a deliberate provocation!

With Madara Uchiha backing him, he deliberately provoked himself!
