Precisely speaking, it was Uchiha Madara who discovered the person who had temporarily distracted Sayo.
By the way, Sayo had two childhood friends and companions: one was the deceased Ieyasu, and the other was Tatsumi, the protagonist from the original story!
That's right, the person Uchiha Madara discovered before them was Tatsumi!
Uchiha Madara didn't even turn his head, directly reaching out to pinch Sayo's chin, stopping her incessant chattering.
"Mmm... Master Madara, what are you doing?"
Uchiha Madara said nothing, merely pinching Sayo's chin, forcibly twisting Sayo's head and her gaze, redirecting her sight towards Tatsumi in front of them.
Upon seeing Tatsumi, Sayo completely panicked!
She recalled that indeed, before leaving the village, Tatsumi had agreed with her that she and Ieyasu would go to the Imperial Capital first, and he would soon follow to find them there!
Damn it, Ieyasu had already died because of their carelessness and naiveté. Tatsumi, that idiot, obviously hasn't discovered the true face of the Imperial Capital yet! No! I must go warn him!
Sayo almost abandoned Uchiha Madara then and there, about to run towards Tatsumi. If Uchiha Madara hadn't been pinching her chin, she would have long since run off!
Even so, Sayo still wanted to open her mouth and call out to Tatsumi, but was stopped by Uchiha Madara's grip on her chin, unable to utter a sound.
Sayo struggled repeatedly, emitting muffled, indistinct pleas towards Uchiha Madara:
"Mmmph... Master Madara... he's my... my other companion! He's in too much danger in the Imperial Capital, I have to go stop him!"
Uchiha Madara continued to hold and restrain her, pointing out the figure trailing behind Tatsumi:
"Don't be so anxious… I know he's Tatsumi, your companion, and he just arrived in the Imperial Capital today. If I didn't recognize him, I wouldn't have shown him to you. But Sayo, look, that boldly dressed woman behind Tatsumi seems to be following him. She surely has ill intentions!"
Only after saying this did Uchiha Madara release his grip. Sayo, now free, rubbed her somewhat sore chin, her eyes wide as she stared at the woman Uchiha Madara had pointed out, who was tracking Tatsumi.
It was indeed as he said. There truly was a boldly dressed woman with fiery, golden hair and a voluptuous figure following Tatsumi. There was no need to think too hard about it; in a cursed place like the Imperial Capital, a woman tracking Tatsumi either intended to swindle him for money or for lust!
She hadn't expected her companion to be targeted the moment he arrived in the Imperial Capital. How detestable!
Sayo was filled with righteous indignation, but she also knew this wasn't the time to shout and alert the enemy. She quietly asked Uchiha Madara:
"Master Madara… what should we do?"
"Hmm, since he's your companion, we can't just stand by and watch him fall into a trap. So, we'll quietly follow them and see what this woman is up to. The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!"
"Alright!"
Sayo was greatly invigorated by this, nodding vigorously!
And so, four individuals in three groups began their three-layered pursuit.
The blond woman tracked Tatsumi, and Uchiha Madara, with Sayo, tracked the blond woman.
Watching Sayo, who was utterly serious beside him, Uchiha Madara secretly chuckled to himself.
How could he not recognize the person tracking Tatsumi? It was clearly Leone from Night Raid!
Now the plot has returned! Isn't this exactly the scene where the original story just begins, where the protagonist Tatsumi is about to be swindled out of all his money by Leone? Speaking of which, what a coincidence! Thinking of Night Raid, Night Raid, it turns out to be a lucky shot!
Now, things were perfect. With Sayo in tow for a double-layer pursuit, he watched the unfolding events with keen interest.
Of course, Leone's Imperial Arm was Beast King Transformation: Lion King, a powerful Imperial Arm capable of transforming its user into a beast-human. When Leone used her Beast Transformation, she truly became like a lion beast-human, terrifyingly agile, flexible, and with greatly increased strength, also possessing the sharp senses of an animal.
Of course, although Leone wasn't using her Imperial Arm at the moment, her natural killer training experience, combined with her acute perception and keen senses, would still allow her to detect both her own tracking and being tracked.
The reason she hadn't discovered being tracked by Uchiha Madara and Sayo until now wasn't because Sayo's tracking ability was good; in fact, Sayo's tracking ability was quite poor.
This was entirely due to Uchiha Madara. His ninja training from childhood certainly included learning stealth and tracking. Uchiha Madara's skill in this was, of course, already perfected, and combined with his use of various wondrous natural Chakra, Leone was completely unaware that she was being tracked while she was tracking others.
With Uchiha Madara's assistance in tracking, Sayo watched with her own eyes as Tatsumi was accosted by Leone, and also witnessed Tatsumi being lured by this big-breasted woman, drowsily falling into her trap.
Sayo was practically grinding her teeth. During the tracking, several times she couldn't resist the urge to rush out, but each time she was stopped by Uchiha Madara, who enjoyed watching the spectacle!
"Master Madara! Tatsumi, that idiot, has already been utterly charmed by this woman! Why won't you let me step in and stop her?!"
"Oh… Sayo, right now this woman is just tempting Tatsumi, and Tatsumi is merely charmed. After all, this woman hasn't actually done anything yet. If you rush out recklessly, she'll surely deny everything cleanly. Let's just wait, wait for this woman to make her move, then you can immediately burst out and catch her red-handed. Then she'll have nothing to say!"
Uchiha Madara's words sounded very reasonable to Sayo, and she nodded in sincere agreement.
In reality, Uchiha Madara was thinking to himself: The good show has only just begun. How could I let Sayo ruin it like this? I absolutely must watch this play reach its climax!
And so, the tracking continued until Leone led Tatsumi into an ordinary tavern. Uchiha Madara and Sayo also followed them inside, unnoticed by others.
