Chapter 740: May I ask, is this the founder

Konoha Detention Center.

"The person you're looking for is right here."

Members of the Uchiha Security Forces, leading the Akatsuki crowd, arrived at the doorway of a cell.

Behind the iron bars, they saw a white‑haired figure lying inside.

"Zilaoye Teacher?"

Miyan called out tentatively.

The sleeping Zilaoye suddenly opened his eyes, sat up from the bed, and looked toward the doorway.

At the doorway stood five people dressed in red‑cloud black robes.

The three youths at the front were, astonishingly, the disciples he had once taken in at Rain Country.

"Miyan, Zhang Men, Xiao Nan, why are you here!"

Zilaoye grabbed the iron grate, his face excited, and said.

"Are you here to bail me out!"

Because he was a repeat offender, the detention period was extended from the original fifteen days to a month.

And today was his third day of serving the sentence.

Jiaodu frowned slightly at the sight, thinking, is this the leader's teacher?

He looked rather unreliable.

If the teachers are so unreliable, can that so‑called wealthy founder be reliable?!

For a moment, Jiaodu felt he was being toyed with again.

But since they're already here, he could only wait and watch for now…

"Zilaoye Teacher, why are you locked up?" Miyan asked anxiously.

They came to Konoha to inquire about Zilaoye Teacher's whereabouts, and learned from others that the teacher was detained in the detention center.

"Ha ha, it's a long story," Zilaoye hurriedly changed the subject; he didn't want to ruin his image before his disciples. "Do you have any money on you that could bail me out?"

Since Teacher Lian Ye stopped looking after him, no one has ever bailed him out.

Friends and disciples were also helpless.

Gangshou that guy is buried in debt; not coming to ask him for money would be a mercy. Orochimaru spends all day holed up in the Laboratory doing research, completely unreachable.

Minato and Kushina are at home watching their child; he doesn't want to disturb their family.

He originally thought he'd be locked up for a month, but Miyan and the others' arrival gave him hope.

The three of them exchanged glances, then pulled some change from their pockets.

"Zilaoye Teacher, is this enough?"

The Akatsuki were so poor that their only funds went into making the group's uniforms.

Now this money could be said to be all their possessions.

If it weren't truly unavoidable, they wouldn't have come to trouble the teacher and the founder.

Zilaoye: "……"

He looked at the change, opened his mouth, but said nothing.

He hadn't expected that over the years his disciples had become so wretched, saying that

"Hey, they say your teacher is very rich, is that true or false?"

Jiaodu couldn't stand it any longer and looked at Zilaoye to ask.

Zilaoye noticed that their clothes were the same, guessing they were companions of the disciples.

"That's right, my teacher is very rich!"

Upon hearing this, Jiaodu fished a Storage Scroll from his crotch, looked at the Uchiha Clan's Members standing nearby, and said, "It contains one million taels; I will bail him out."

This money was all the cash he had on him; the rest he had hidden away.

He did this to prevent the day he might unlucky encounter Yuzhi Bo Lianye.

Even if he truly ran into him, he would only lose a little, not be completely robbed as in the previous few times.

"One million? You'd send a beggar?"

The Uchiha Clan's Members crossed their arms, sneering disdainfully.

"The bail for a repeat offender is five million; without that, you must honestly wait until the sentence ends."

Jiaodu: "???"

Five million?

Why doesn't this guy just rob it!

Konoha truly lives up to being the most advanced Ninja Village in the Ninja World; even the bail amount is terrifying.

He couldn't imagine how rich that wealthy founder in Miyan's mouth really is!

It seems joining the Akatsuki was the best choice he made.

As long as he can get money from the wealthy master, he'll be able to manage the organization's huge funds in the future.

But now, he simply doesn't have that much money!

"Tch, no money, just get out," the Uchiha Clan's Members sneered. "Don't stand here blocking the view."

Jiaodu, hearing this, coldly stared at the Uchiha Clan's Members who spoke.

Sure enough, all the Uchiha Clan's Members were extremely hateful!

It seems a profound lesson must be given to the other side.

He can't beat Yuzhi Bo Lianye, and also can't defeat the Uchiha Clan's Members before him!

"Do you dare to lay a hand on me here?"

That Uchiha Clan's Member sneered as his words fell.

Countless Uchiha Clan's Members rushed out, tightly surrounding them, their pairs of Three Tomoe Sharingan staring at them.

Jiaodu: "……"

Damn it, it's just a detention center, how could there be so many Uchiha Clan's Members!

"Don't misunderstand, they mean no harm."

Zilaoye, seeing this, hurriedly spoke up as a mediator.

Miyan and the others are no match for this group of Uchiha Clan's Members.

If a fight broke out they'd not only lose, they'd also be locked up in Konoha Prison.

"Heh, the way he looks at me doesn't seem like a misunderstanding!"

……

In the end, Jiaodu voluntarily donated one million taels to the detention center, allowing the few of them to emerge unharmed.

"Damned Uchiha!"

Jiaodu clenched his fists in anger.

Following the naturally evil Yuzhi Bo Lianye, he was again robbed by the damned Uchiha Clan's Members.

If it were a single Uchiha, he'd be fearless, but a whole group of Uchiha can only suffer a silent loss.

"Jiaodu, don't be angry," Miyan comforted, "once I get the money from the Grandmaster, I'll compensate you for the one million taels you just lost."

Jiaodu heard this and his anger faded a little.

I have to admit, his leader is rather righteous.

If he could demand an apology from the Konoha's richest, he'd probably not choose to leave the organization.

Although Miyan and the others lacked the money to bail out Zilaoye, they learned the Grandmaster's address from him.

The five of them set off according to the address.

Soon, they arrived before a grand and magnificent mansion.

Jiaodu subconsciously swallowed.

No wonder he's Konoha's richest; the house looks extremely valuable!

Looks like he'll soon be able to manage the organization's finances.

Jie jie jie!

Miyan stepped forward and knocked on the door.

In the courtyard.

Lian Ye was lying on a chair, leisurely sunbathing, and showed a puzzled expression when he heard someone knock.

Usually, no one would disturb their tranquility.

"Tuan Cang, open the door and take a look."

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang: "……"

Obviously this guy is nearest the main gate, yet he's lazily beyond belief, spending all day just being commanded!

Fine, after all these years he's gotten used to it.

Tuan Cang opened the door, and the five people at the entrance made him freeze in shock.

Akatsuki?!

In other timelines, he had infiltrated it with his good brother to steal the organization's wealth.

He was naturally not unfamiliar with the few people before him.

"Excuse me, is this the Grandmaster's home?" Miyan introduced himself first: "We are disciples of Teacher Zilaoye, here especially to visit the Grandmaster."

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang nodded at the words, realizing they were Zilaoye's disciples.

As for the Grandmaster they mentioned, it was naturally the sunbathing fellow.

"You all follow me."

Saying that, he opened the door and let the few inside.

"Who came?"

Lian Ye rose from the chair, curiously looking toward the doorway.

He met Jiaodu's curious, peering green eyes.

Their gazes locked, and both were stunned.
