Killing his way through the ninja world, starting from being adopted by the second generation!

"When Renya-sensei learned that Jiraiya had not returned, he went back to the Land of Rain to search for Jiraiya's whereabouts," Orochimaru said, stepping forward.

As his teacher's disciple, he naturally had to cover for his teacher.

Moreover, Lianye had given him instructions before leaving.

"So that's how it is."

Danzo Shimura calmly observed Orochimaru, and finally nodded slightly.

Orochimaru maintained a smile throughout.

All he had to do was find excuses for the teacher; whether the Hokage believed him or not was none of his business.

As for where Lian Ye really went?

Only the parties involved probably know the truth.

……

"Master Poisoner, are you serious?"

With a complicated expression, Hanzo the Salamander looked at Renya and asked in a deep voice.

The scroll left by Lian Ye reads: "Come in three days; I have important matters to discuss."

He knew Lian Ye needed him to do something, but he never expected it to be capturing a tailed beast!

"I'm not joking, I need you to capture the Tailed Beasts for me." Lianye looked at Hanzo with a serious expression. "I hope you won't disappoint me..."

Only by persuading Hanzo to join their ranks can they lower Old Man Ban's guard.

This successfully buys them time...

After a moment of silence, Hanzo the Salamander nodded.

"I understand, Master Poison."

Although he didn't know the specific reason, he had no choice but to agree in order to keep his promise.

This scene was witnessed by Bai Jue, who was secretly monitoring from the shadows.

Chapter 445 A Good Candidate

"Lord Madara, Lord Renya has invited Hanzo of the Salamander, the leader of Amegakure..."

Bai Jue, who was in charge of monitoring Lian Ye, gave a detailed account of what had just happened.

Madara Uchiha's face remained as calm as ever, revealing no emotion whatsoever.

"What is this kid trying to do?"

He didn't understand why Renya wanted Hanzo the Salamander to capture the Tailed Beasts for him.

With Lian Ye's strength, she doesn't need anyone else's help at all.

We can only ask about this when that kid arrives.

However, in his view, it doesn't matter who captures the tailed beasts.

All you need to do is eventually collect all nine tailed beasts.

"Lord Madara, Lord Renya has slain the Second Raikage, the Third Mizukage, the newly appointed temporary Mizukage, and the Third Tsuchikage on the battlefield..."

White Zetsu continued to recount everything that happened on the battlefield.

A rare hint of surprise appeared on Madara Uchiha's usually calm face.

Why is this kid's bloodthirstiness getting worse and worse?

Could it be true, as Tobirama Senju said, that other personalities have emerged within Renya?

Hopefully, the other personalities won't interfere with the process of capturing the Tailed Beasts.

"Keep a close eye on Lian Ye and don't let him out of your sight."

Madara Uchiha said in a deep voice.

Although he never trusted Lian Ye, it didn't mean he was willing to abandon this junior.

Who can refuse free labor?

If only Renye were truly sincere in joining the "Eye of the Moon" project.

Unfortunately, Madara could tell that the kid wasn't sincere.

Madara Uchiha wasn't stupid; he wouldn't be fooled by a few words.

Before he awakened the cycle of reincarnation, he didn't mind Lian Ye's little scheme.

But since it concerns the "Eye of the Moon" project, no one can be allowed to interfere.

He has never seen Hashirama since he awakened the Rinnegan.

He was worried that his friend was deliberately causing trouble.

If that really happens, the only option is to send Hashirama down ahead of time.

It was precisely because Madara didn't want to do that that he deliberately distanced himself from Hashirama...

This shows that Madara still cares about Hashirama, his only true friend.

They had lived together in the mountains for over ten years.

But in the face of true peace, nothing is irreplaceable!

Including so-called friendship...

"There are still seven tailed beasts left." Madara Uchiha clenched his fists secretly.

By collecting all nine tailed beasts, the Ten-Tails can be revived, at which point true peace can be achieved in the ninja world!

This corrupt ninja world needs a savior.

And he, Uchiha Madara, was that savior!

"Lord Madara, the war is over."

Shortly after Bai Jue finished his report, Lian Ye appeared in the underground space.

“Kid, remember this: only the ‘Eye of the Moon’ project can bring true peace.”

Madara Uchiha looked up at Renya in front of him.

"Ending a war with overwhelming force is not true peace..."

Renya's approach was no different from Hashirama Senju's back then; it was simply a matter of using overwhelming force to intimidate.

The two had a disagreement over their views and eventually parted ways, but time will prove everything.

Ban was reminding Lianye not to be blinded by the temporary peace.

"I understand, Lord Madara."

Madara Uchiha remained noncommittal on this matter, and whether he truly heeded it is unknown.

"Kid, don't you have anything to explain to me?"

He narrowed his eyes slightly, staring intently at Lian Ye.

"Lord Madara, it's a bit difficult for me to capture the Tailed Beasts by myself, so I found a helper in Amegakure..."

Renya explained in detail how she bribed and won over Hanzo of the Salamander.

It seems he has quite a few White Zetsu around him!

Just after bribing Hanzo the salamander, Old Man Ban learned the news.

Madara Uchiha listened quietly to Renya's story, his face expressionless.

White Zetsu has already said these words once.

"No matter what method you use, as long as you capture one tailed beast every month, that's fine."

"I will try my best, Lord Madara."

Lianye couldn't guarantee that she would get one tailed beast every month.

Otherwise, wouldn't the Ten-Tails be able to revive in less than a year?!

For now, we can only delay. Every day we can delay, Grandpa Ban's health will weaken.

It would be best to delay for three to five years, and then strike hard.

Despite having an oxygen tube inserted early, the aging process of the elderly man was still ongoing.

The Demonic Statue of the Outer Path could only keep him alive, not stop his bodily functions from deteriorating.

"Let's proceed in order. I want to see one next month."

Madara Uchiha was worried that Renya would not comply, so he directly specified which tailed beast to capture.

“Received!” Lian Ye replied respectfully.

At worst, we can catch one every month for the first month, and then catch one every two months thereafter.

Delaying will only lead to disaster!

Since the village has lost its tailed beast, they will definitely increase their vigilance.

It's perfectly normal for the difficulty to increase at that point...

Madara wouldn't be so insane as to let him take on an entire ninja village by himself, would he?

That would be far too inhumane.

I believe Uncle Ban wouldn't do such a thing!

Yes, that's right!

The plan to collect nine tailed beasts in a year is ultimately just a plan.

The reality is certainly not like that.

After all, plans can't keep up with changes.

Who can guarantee that no other problems will arise during this period?!

Madara Uchiha kept observing Renya's subtle facial expressions and did not detect any resistance.

It seems this kid is at least somewhat obedient.

As long as Renye doesn't betray him, he will soon be able to collect all nine tailed beasts.

If it's betrayal...

A barely perceptible glint of determination flashed in Madara Uchiha's eyes.

He was the only one indispensable to the "Eye of the Moon" project.

Everyone else can be replaced at will.

"Lord Madara, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now."

Madara Uchiha didn't speak, he just waved his hand wearily.

Upon seeing this, Lianye immediately turned and left.

Once Lianye had completely left the underground space, Uchiha Madara reopened his eyes.

"Have you found the person we asked you to find?"

"Lord Madara, we've found several Uchiha who meet the criteria within the Uchiha clan's territory..."

As he spoke, White Zetsu took out the list of clan members that he had stolen from the Uchiha clan head's study.

Madara Uchiha reached out and took the list, then looked at it carefully.

He couldn't rely on Lian Ye alone; he needed other pieces to ensure the plan would succeed.

The Uchiha clan members are easy pawns to use.

With just a little guidance, one can awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan, and then with a little persuasion, they will willingly join the "Eye of the Moon" project.

As the former head of the Uchiha clan, he naturally knew the personalities of his clan members very well.

"Uchiha Kagami...?!"
