The Flying Raijin Jutsu was exceptionally fast, almost to the point of being instantaneous.
In the blink of an eye, Uchiha Madara, clutching Esdeath and Mine, instantly teleported back to the living room of his manor.
The moment he appeared, Uchiha Madara saw Susa waiting for him there. Seeing Susa's tense expression and evident exhaustion as she sat on the sofa, could it be that Susa hadn't slept all night waiting for him?
Uchiha Madara, taking the opportunity, released Esdeath and Mine and walked forward.
Susa, looking quite exhausted, brightened with immense joy upon seeing Uchiha Madara's sudden return. She immediately rushed over and hugged Uchiha Madara.
"That's wonderful, Lord Madara! You're finally back! Tonight truly scared me. Everything was quiet, and then suddenly there was a massive explosion over there. That enormous explosion was truly terrifying..."
Susa's words were a bit rambling, clearly indicating she had been overly stressed before.
Uchiha Madara, taking the opportunity, embraced Susa, soothingly patting her back gently, his tone softening considerably:
"It's nothing... nothing, just a minor disturbance. The explosion outside is nothing..."
After a few comforting pats, Susa finally realized her own lapse in composure. She broke free from Uchiha Madara's embrace, her face a little red, and said somewhat flustered:
"Well, anyway, Lord Madara, it's best that you've returned safely. Oh... right, who are those two? Lord Madara, why did you bring two beautiful young girls back so late at night?"
By the end of her sentence, Susa's tone carried a hint of displeasure.
This was understandable. She had gone out alone late at night, and the commotion outside was so loud and terrifying. In the end, Uchiha Madara brought back two beautiful young girls. It was hard to imagine Uchiha Madara going out late at night for anything proper.
Facing the visibly displeased Susa, who stood with her hands on her hips, Uchiha Madara calmly introduced Esdeath and Mine to her:
"Susa, I didn't go out late at night for pleasure. Here, let me introduce you: this naturally innocent girl with glasses is Esdeath, and this twin-tailed, flat-chested loli is Mine! Moreover, they are both Leone's colleagues!"
"Leone's colleagues..."
Susa looked at Esdeath and Mine, feeling a pang of surprise:
"Don't tell me all the assassins of Night Raid are beautiful women!?"
Uchiha Madara shrugged, expressing his helplessness:
"Who knows? Night Raid is indeed dominated by women. As far as I know, there are only two men in there; everyone else is a beautiful woman."
Uchiha Madara and Susa discussed these matters openly in front of Esdeath and Mine. Although it made some people uncomfortable, at this moment, Esdeath and Mine's attention was completely elsewhere, not on their discussion.
Just now, in Uchiha Madara and Susa's conversation, Leone was mentioned!
Esdeath and Mine simultaneously perked up, a terrible premonition forming in their hearts. They stared wide-eyed at Uchiha Madara.
Esdeath's eyes were wide, and she murmured in surprise:
"Leone... you just mentioned Leone..."
Mine's reaction was even more direct. She stared intently at Uchiha Madara, like a kitten ready to bite:
"You fiend... Leone, who went missing from our Night Raid... could it be that she also fell into your clutches!?"
It was then that Uchiha Madara suddenly realized he had inadvertently exposed the fact that Leone was here.
But it didn't matter. Esdeath and Mine were now his captives, just like Leone. What was there to fear?!
With a shift in thought, Uchiha Madara used his Shinra Tensei to perceive Leone's situation in the third-floor bedroom.
Leone had been sleeping soundly when she was suddenly awakened in the middle of the night by a massive tremor and explosion. Reflexively, Leone jumped out of bed and ran to the window to open it and observe the situation outside.
When she saw the Minister's Residence exploding and burning from a distance, her shock was understandable.
As an assassin of Night Raid, how could she not recognize that the place was the Minister's Residence!?
Leone instantly became like an ant on a hot pan, frantically pacing.
At this moment, she desperately wanted to go out and investigate. She wanted to know what exactly had happened, how the Minister's Residence was, how the Minister himself was, whether this incident was done by her companions, and what had become of them.
However, Leone had tried to sneak away at night more than once before, but had any attempt succeeded?
Therefore, she was frantic but helpless.
Perceiving Leone's anxiety at this moment with his Shinra Tensei, Uchiha Madara slightly smiled and shouted upstairs:
"Leone! I've invited two more of your companions here as guests. Won't you come out and meet them?"
Uchiha Madara's voice penetrated several layers of walls, clearly reaching Leone's ears. The previously anxious Leone instantly froze, slowly processing Uchiha Madara's words.
"Invited two of my companions here as guests!?"
"Don't tell me, this Uchiha Madara... also captured two more of my companions!?"
"No good, which two companions are they? Are they safe now!?"
Leone immediately abandoned thoughts of the situation outside. She snatched clothes from the hanger, slipped on her shoes, and dashed out of the bedroom, hastily putting on her clothes as she ran down the stairs.
In less than half a moment, Leone, whose shirt was a bit disheveled, rushed downstairs and arrived in the living room, where she immediately saw Esdeath and Mine.
Leone looked at Esdeath and Mine, and Mine and Esdeath also looked at Leone. The three of them had extraordinarily complex feelings at this moment.
Leone ran in front of Esdeath and Mine. Esdeath was fine, only a relieved smile. Mine, however, had a considerably complex expression. Her voice was even more complex as she said:
"Leone... you made us search so hard..."
Leone offered a bitter smile in return:
"Mine, Esdeath, were you two also captured and brought here?"
Esdeath and Mine nodded simultaneously. The three of them looked at each other, everything unspoken, and sighed together.
Then, Leone, Esdeath, and Mine turned around together, their gazes chillingly fixed on Uchiha Madara, who was seated on the sofa.
