This was the third day since Uchiha Madara subjugated Night Raid. The intervening day was spent with Night Raid recovering their mental and physical exhaustion, resting peacefully and steadily at Uchiha Madara's estate for a full day.
At this moment, in the living room of Uchiha Madara's estate, Uchiha Madara himself sat at one side, while all the members of Night Raid, plus Kurome, sat opposite him in a row, all staring at Uchiha Madara with ill intent.
The reason this situation occurred was that after Night Raid had fully recuperated and regained their strength, they learned of the experiences of Leone, Sheele, Mine, and Chelsea.
Night Raid had initially fantasized quite a bit about their four comrades' experiences, even imagining various tortures. But they never expected Leone, Sheele, Mine, and Chelsea to have such an experience! Being sealed, stripped of Imperial Arms,
hit with Flying Thunder God, and even later subjected to Esdeath's "tutoring" sessions! The most outrageous part was that they were tied to crucifixes the night before, subjected to severe torture and beatings,
and then forced to believe that these people were not naked!? The other members of Night Raid had worried their hearts out for Leone, Sheele, Mine, and Chelsea, thinking they were being tortured to death by Uchiha Madara. Had they worried for nothing all these days?
Upon learning all this, Night Raid suddenly felt that they had been thoroughly tricked by Uchiha Madara, and that they had completely lost Night Raid. This feeling was very bad. This was why the entire Night Raid,
plus Kurome, were currently glaring at Uchiha Madara. Facing this posture, even with Uchiha Madara's thick skin, he felt somewhat uncomfortable. After all, he had calculated them first.
Not to mention Uchiha Madara, even Zetsu, standing silently behind Uchiha Madara, felt immense pressure from the grievances of the Pond Fish. He almost wanted to abandon Uchiha Madara and flee.
Slowly sipping his tea, silently wiping a large drop of cold sweat from his forehead, Uchiha Madara chuckled: "Heh heh... how is it? Is it comfortable living here? Did you all sleep well yesterday?"
Najenda, with her heroic aura and long legs, chuckled: "Thanks to Lord Madara, we slept very well yesterday!"
"Oh? Is that so? You slept well, huh! Hahahaha..."
Akame blinked. Kurome, sitting beside her with the same hostile look, directly asked Uchiha Madara: "Lord Madara, I want to ask, what exactly happened to Leone, Sheele, Mine, and Chelsea!?"
Kurome chimed in, equally agitated: "Exactly! What exactly happened?!"
A row of black lines appeared above his head. Uchiha Madara looked at Akame and Kurome, unable to resist complaining: "Yesterday, you two were still fighting each other to the death, and now you've unified your front lines. Truly sisters!"
Akame was speechless, not knowing what to say.
But Kurome, although young, had an imposing aura. She directly slammed the table and questioned Uchiha Madara: "Don't change the subject! Answer our question directly! What exactly happened to the four sisters? They seemed to be unable to run away."
Having reached this point, Uchiha Madara became even more thick-skinned. He took a sip of tea, his face expressionless: "Leone, Sheele, Mine, and Chelsea... their four problems are simple! It's just that I used them to lure all of you Night Raid! That's all!"
As victims, Leone, Sheele, Mine, and Chelsea jointly complained and sighed: "What a shameless thing to say!" (For awesome novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
Uchiha Madara shrugged. His meaning was clear: This is how I am. What can you do to me?
Night Raid instantly seethed with anger, but they truly had no way to deal with Uchiha Madara. Their outburst of anger was also to divert their attention. Uchiha Madara started talking about serious matters: "Alright! Alright! Stop fussing, let's get down to business! The plan to purge treacherous officials that I mentioned to you the day before yesterday, I already started preparing for it yesterday!"
Upon hearing this important question, Night Raid's attention was indeed diverted. They all looked at Uchiha Madara without blinking.
"Yesterday, while all of you in Night Raid were resting, I called Bulat over and told him about the general plan. He readily accepted. I estimate he's currently secretly contacting the army under his command."
"Esdeath is with me, so no need to worry. Her army is always devoted to Esdeath, so they should respond when the time comes."
Actually, the main thing was Bulat's side. Bulat had a lot of work to do: gathering statistics on the army, testing other officials and generals who could also rebel, secretly weakening the power of major ministers, etc.
And these tasks were not something Bulat, who was in the open, could do himself. So, he found this position for Night Raid. It just so happened that you all used to act in the shadows, so you can just listen to Bulat's instructions.
Remember, your identities are different from Bulat's. At the very least, on the surface, you are still an assassination group wanted by the Empire, so you must act in secret!
Uchiha Madara assigned work to Night Raid, and it was also the work they yearned for. Hearing Uchiha Madara's command, Najenda, as the boss of Night Raid, secretly agreed. Naturally, secret operations like a rebellion had to be conducted secretly. Work that required relative secrecy was most suitable for Night Raid.
At this point, due to their attention being diverted by serious matters, the entire Night Raid overlooked the matter of Uchiha Madara tricking them earlier. They all turned their attention to the upcoming serious work. Hurriedly, on this day, Night Raid, having just finished resting, quickly threw themselves into new work.
