Uchiha Madara couldn't help but burst into laughter. After such a prolonged effort, he had finally completely subdued Night Raid.
The hovering throne descended, and Uchiha Madara stood up from it. With a smile, he walked forward and single-handedly helped Najenda to her feet: "Haha... Excellent! Excellent! From this day forward, you, Night Raid, are under my Uchiha Madara's command!
There's no need to worry too much. I, for one, am quite ruthless to my enemies, but for my own people, there's absolutely nothing to say.
All that you endured before was purely because you were still my enemies then. Now it's different. Soon, you'll feel the benefits of being my Uchiha Madara's subordinates!"
"Hmm... Najenda, I can give you some benefits right now!"
"Hmm!?"
Najenda, having been helped up by Uchiha Madara, looked at him with a bewildered expression upon hearing his words, not understanding what "benefits" Uchiha Madara was referring to.
Looking directly into Najenda's eyes, Uchiha Madara clearly stated: "It will be very painful. Endure it for a while!"
Before Najenda could even comprehend what "very painful" meant, Uchiha Madara had already made his move.
A hand blade sliced through. Infused with Wind Release chakra, the hand blade was incredibly sharp. It directly severed Najenda's stump where her right arm connected to the mechanical arm.
With a thud, the mechanical arm fell to the ground. Blood gushed from the severed limb, even exposing yellowish-white bone!
The members of Night Raid were greatly startled.
Before Najenda could even scream, Uchiha Madara continued his actions, directly removing the eye patch from Najenda's right eye, revealing the unsightly atrophied flesh beneath. Uchiha Madara extended two fingers, delving into Najenda's right eye socket, and directly twisted out the necrotic muscle and nerve tissue!
This series of actions caused unbearable agony, and Najenda immediately cried out in pain.
Akame, who was nearby, urgently tried to scramble up and rush over, but her severely injured and weakened body couldn't support her.
"Endure...!"
With a sharp command, Uchiha Madara slapped Najenda's shoulder. The Yin Release within Yin-Yang Release, along with a vast surge of life force, poured into Najenda's body, healing her wounds.
Under the astonished gazes of Night Raid, a dense green aura of life force could be seen emanating from Uchiha Madara, flowing down his arm and into Najenda's body.
Then, from the severed stump of Najenda's right arm, flesh began to sprout!
It was only then that the members of Night Raid realized Uchiha Madara wasn't trying to harm Najenda; he was healing her!
But... could it be that Uchiha Madara was even capable of limb regeneration?
Holding onto this unbelievable thought, under the very eyes of Night Raid, the flesh and bone at the severed stump of Najenda's right arm grew at a visibly insane speed, directly beginning limb regeneration!
Not only that, the bloody cavity where Najenda's right eye had been also began to sprout flesh, and these flesh growths began to differentiate and grow into various tissue parts of an eye!
Approximately three minutes later, Uchiha Madara released his hand.
And as for Najenda, her right arm and right eye had completely regenerated and recovered!
She herself realized this, raising her newly regenerated, fair right arm, gazing at it in disbelief, clenching it disbelievingly, feeling the tangible presence of her own arm. Then, with joy, she caressed her right eye, tears of overwhelming happiness streaming from both eyes.
This valiant female general finally revealed her vulnerable side, turning away, trying her best not to let others see, silently shedding tears.
Uchiha Madara patted Najenda's shoulder and said: "Najenda, you are now completely healed. Esdeath is also my woman. I hope you no longer hate her."
With her back to Uchiha Madara, Najenda silently nodded.
Najenda's right arm had been severed by Esdeath, and her right eye had been blinded by Esdeath.
Leaving Najenda, Uchiha Madara proceeded to walk towards the others, one by one.
He first went to Lubbock, pulling the unfortunate fellow out from under the ground as if pulling a radish. Then he casually cut the binding wires on his body, and finally infused a surge of life force into him to heal his minor injuries.
Lubbock, now rescued, awkwardly thanked Uchiha Madara.
Then Uchiha Madara walked over to Bulat. Because Bulat was gay, Madara did not make physical contact, instead projecting green life force and Yang Release from a distance to heal him.
Soon, Bulat's fractured spine and all his other injuries were completely healed.
Standing up, Bulat thanked Uchiha Madara with a steady demeanor.
Uchiha Madara then walked to the four crucifixes. He waved his hand, making the four crucifixes descend, and released Leone, Sheele, Mine, and Chelsea who were bound to them. He likewise healed their flesh wounds, lifted the seals on their powers, and promised to return their Imperial Arms to them.
He then unsealed the Chibaku Tensei on the ground, releasing Susanoo's Man from within. The remaining compressed rock was buried underground.
Susanoo's Man, upon emerging, seemed to have a telepathic connection with Najenda, knowing that Uchiha Madara was no longer an enemy. He thanked Uchiha Madara, then jumped to Najenda's side, silently guarding her.
Finally, Uchiha Madara walked back and approached Akame, who was lying on the ground.
Akame had just been severely shocked by her own purple lightning.
Looking at her, Uchiha Madara reached out and placed his hand on Akame's head. A dense life force, along with creation-imbued Yin Release, poured into Akame's body, healing her wounds.
After just a few breaths, Akame's injuries recovered.
Akame stood up, straightened her clothes, and looked at Uchiha Madara indignantly, complaining in a slightly dazed, adorable tone: "...You... gah! I thought you weren't going to heal me!"
Shaking his head, Uchiha Madara said with a somewhat meaningful tone: "The reason I left you for last is because there's someone you absolutely must meet. I hope you can reconcile with her!"
"Reconcile?"
The somewhat dazed Akame was a little confused, but after chewing on the words "reconcile," she immediately realized something, and her pretty face turned stark white.
Akame's reaction also caught the attention of the other Night Raid members.
Uchiha Madara turned around with a smile and shouted towards the manor's main gate behind him: "Esdeath, let her out!"
With a creak, the manor's main gate opened. Esdeath, of supreme beauty and exceptional aura, appeared at the doorway. She sent a kick, sending a large chunk of ice flying over!
This man-sized block of ice arced through the air and accurately crashed down in front of everyone!
Frozen within was Kurome...
