Chapter 687: You beast, you actually dare to come back!

"The Rinnegan absolutely cannot be returned to you!"

Deva Path said without hesitation.

Even if he was no match for Uchiha Madara, he was unwilling to return the Rinnegan.

Without powerful strength, he would not be able to obtain the Tailed Beasts from the Five Great Ninja Villages, nor would he be able to realize the ideal of peace in the ninja world.

People all have selfish desires.

Even if the Rinnegan truly belonged to Uchiha Madara, he was still unwilling to return it to its original owner!

Uchiha Madara already knew this would be the outcome.

Nagato would not hand over the eyes so easily. It seemed he would have to use some methods.

Thinking this, his gaze fell on Konan.

The relationship between the two was not ordinary. As long as he captured her, he could threaten Nagato into revealing his hiding place.

At that time, it wouldn't matter whether he was willing or not.

The weak have no right to oppose the strong!

"Tobirama, where did you go just now?"

As soon as Senju Tobirama returned after beating Renya, he heard his elder brother's concerned question.

He did not answer immediately. His gaze fell on Madara.

In truth, he did not agree with Madara's act of seizing the Rinnegan, but thinking that those eyes were a gift for Renya, he could only turn a blind eye.

Moreover, without the Rinnegan, the "Eye of the Moon" plan could not proceed.

It could be considered an unintentional good deed.

Noticing Hashirama's curious gaze, Senju Tobirama said in a deep voice:

"Big brother, I went to find that kid Renya just now."

He did not mention beating someone up, only said it casually.

"They really are in this space-time!"

Senju Hashirama's eyes lit up, clearly very happy.

Hearing this, the members of the Akatsuki had a flash of surprise in their eyes.

This space-time… what does that mean?!

Black Zetsu finally understood what was going on!

The people in front of him were indeed Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama, but they were not the ones he knew.

The ones he knew had long since died.

The people before him must be from another space-time!

They had simply used some unknown method to arrive here…

Black Zetsu's eyes flickered, as if he had thought of an even better idea.

Since they could come here from another space-time, that meant he could follow them to other space-times!

As long as he could find a space-time where Mother had not been sealed, he could let Mother come and rescue Mother!

Black Zetsu had thought of a better plan, and the gloom caused by Madara's interference earlier was completely swept away.

Heh heh heh.

What a blessing in disguise!

Letting Mother rescue Mother would surely be much simpler than his own plan.

The other members of the Akatsuki did not have Black Zetsu's vision, but they could still understand from those words that these people did not belong here!

Knowing that alone was useless; they could not stop Madara.

Kakuzu felt like dying.

Even the leader was not Madara's opponent. The money that had been taken was probably gone for good.

Uchiha Renya!

In his heart, Renya was synonymous with a beast.

Renya was a beast, and a beast was Renya!

Unfortunately, he could do nothing about it. He could only curse him repeatedly in his heart to gain a slight sense of comfort.

"Unwilling?" Uchiha Madara sneered. "You do not have the power to refuse me."

As he spoke, he looked at Konan, who was tightly protecting Deva Path behind her.

"Little girl, it seems you care a lot about Nagato. I just wonder whether he cares about you."

Before his words even finished, he instantly appeared in front of Konan and grabbed her neck with one hand.

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

After learning that Renya was also in this space-time, Uchiha Madara had no patience to continue negotiating with Nagato.

Sometimes, force is the easiest way to solve problems.

"Konan!"

Nagato, hiding in the Akatsuki base, had a ferocious expression.

Yahiko was already dead; he could not lose Konan as well!

With a painful expression, Konan shook her head at Deva Path, as if she could see Nagato's expression through the Rinnegan.

Realizing peace in the ninja world had been their dream since childhood.

She did not want Nagato to hand over the Rinnegan because of her. If that happened, it would become very difficult to achieve peace in the ninja world.

After all, Nagato's body was crippled and he could only rely on the Rinnegan.

Without the Rinnegan, there would be no foundation to achieve peace in the ninja world!

"I'll give you one minute to think."

Uchiha Madara stared expressionlessly at Deva Path.

He only wanted to take back the Rinnegan, yet it had become so troublesome.

It was truly irritating!

"Madara…"

Senju Hashirama showed hesitation. Just as he was about to step forward to stop him, Senju Tobirama pulled him back.

In his view, Madara was different from before. He handled things with restraint.

There was no way he would truly go insane and slaughter all the Akatsuki members.

Most likely, he was just impatient from waiting and wanted to obtain the Rinnegan as soon as possible.

Senju Hashirama looked surprised. He did not understand why Tobirama, who had always disliked Madara, would stop him.

Since when had their relationship become so good?

The Akatsuki members all had solemn expressions, and no one spoke.

They were all waiting for the leader's decision.

If they did not hand over the Rinnegan, they would most likely not escape this calamity.

The power displayed by Uchiha Madara was too overwhelming. Even though they were all powerful rogue ninjas, they had no chance of victory in front of him!

Time passed second by second. Just as Konan was about to suffocate due to lack of oxygen—

"Madara, stop!"

Deva Path finally spoke, his voice hoarse.

"I am willing to return the Rinnegan!"

Seeing this, Uchiha Madara released his grip on Konan's neck, and the coldness on his face softened slightly.

"A wise choice!"

He had no intention of going on a killing spree; he mainly wanted to obtain those Rinnegan.

The Akatsuki members all let out a sigh of relief.

If the leader had refused to hand over the Rinnegan, they would definitely have died here today.

Kakuzu looked at Uchiha Madara's back, almost wanting to cry.

What kind of people are these!

Not only did they sweep away all of the organization's funds, they almost wiped out the Akatsuki as well.

If they had this kind of strength, why not say it earlier? Was there any need to run off with the money?

If Uchiha Madara had come to ask for money, it wasn't like he wouldn't have given it…

His mood today was like riding a roller coaster, full of ups and downs.

Not only was the money gone, he had almost lost his life as well.

"Madara-sama, what are you doing?"

At this moment, an untimely voice suddenly rang out.

Everyone followed the sound and saw Shimura Danzō supporting a bruised and battered Renya as they slowly walked over.

"You beast, you actually dare to come back!!!"

When Kakuzu saw Renya appear before him, his blood boiled, and he even temporarily forgot the fear Madara had instilled earlier.

It was this beast!

Not only did he sweep away all the organization's money, he didn't even spare the private savings Kakuzu had accumulated over the years!

Knocked unconscious upon entering the room, and when he woke up, everything on him was gone.

For Kakuzu, this kind of thing was no different from killing him.

Seeing Kakuzu's murderous gaze, Renya couldn't help but grin.

No matter which space-time's Kakuzu it was, he was always a good person to him.

Kakuzu: "…"

In Kakuzu's eyes, Renya's smile was a deliberate provocation!

Backed by Uchiha Madara, he was intentionally provoking him!
