After listening to the explanation from the two ANBU members, even the Third Raikage felt that this matter was quite tricky.
"What about that kunoichi? Bring her over for me to see!"
The two ANBU immediately went and, very obediently, quickly brought Akame up, presenting her before the Third Raikage.
At this, everyone in the ANBU base, from the Third Raikage down to the ordinary ninjas, all meticulously scrutinized Akame, who lay unconscious on the ground.
Her appearance, though very beautiful, was not what concerned them. What concerned them was the identity of this kunoichi.
The Third Raikage crouched down, suspiciously observing Akame's condition.
He sequentially examined various aspects of Akame's body: her muscles, bones, palms, and so on.
From this observation, "993" discovered many things.
Her bones were tough, her muscles powerful. Clearly, although this kunoichi looked delicate and frail, she had definitely undergone years of training. Moreover, there was a layer of calluses on her palms, clearly the result of long-term weapon usage. Furthermore, the Third Raikage could feel active chakra within her.
Based on these reasons alone, there was no need to think further; she was definitely a ninja!
Although they didn't know what kind of ninja this kunoichi was, or why she was currently unconscious, since other ninjas had entered their village, they absolutely could not be tolerated!
Standing up, the Third Raikage immediately issued an order:
"Someone! Never mind anything else, sealing squad, thoroughly seal this kunoichi from head to toe and confine her in the ANBU prison. Once she wakes up, then interrogate her!"
The ANBU ninjas naturally heard him. Immediately, an ANBU member skilled in sealing techniques stepped forward and used sealing jutsu to completely seal Akame's entire body!
Of course, the Hiraishin no Jutsu (Flying Thunder God Technique) hidden within Akame's body was also affected and sealed.
Although Kumogakure's sealing jutsu was not as good as Konoha's, it was not bad.
And what was worse, when Uchiha Madara had initially cast the Hiraishin no Jutsu on Akame, he had completely not anticipated this kind of situation occurring. Therefore, the Hiraishin no Jutsu on Akame was the simplest form of the Hiraishin no Jutsu.
However, no matter what, this Hiraishin no Jutsu was still Madara Uchiha's Hiraishin no Jutsu. Coupled with Kumogakure's not-so-profound sealing jutsu, Akame's Hiraishin no Jutsu was not completely sealed, allowing Uchiha Madara, although unable to teleport via Hiraishin no Jutsu, to perceive Akame's approximate location via Hiraishin no Jutsu.
This was also a blessing in disguise.
After the sealing was complete, the Third Raikage didn't concern himself too much. Although he felt suspicious and wary about this matter, he still didn't take it too seriously and left afterwards.
The ANBU, also very obedient to the Third Raikage's command, promptly threw Akame into the cold ANBU dungeon after the sealing was complete. Poor Akame, still unconscious, had no idea where she was.
On this side, these people from Kumogakure didn't care, but Uchiha Madara cared.
He instantly transferred Ace and the others to his Kage's office in Kumogakure.
Fourteen people simultaneously appearing in the office inevitably startled people, but at this moment, in the office, there was only the reliable wood clone that Uchiha Madara had left behind earlier. Coupled with the wood clone sensing Uchiha Madara's return, there was no surprise.
However, seeing Uchiha Madara's main body suddenly bring back so many people, the wood clone was still astonished.
The wood clone stood up to greet Uchiha Madara:
"Main body... After more than ten years, you've finally returned! Also, you brought back so many people? When you first returned to this world, why did I feel your mood was unstable? What exactly happened?"
Seeing his wood clone, Uchiha Madara sighed softly:
"It's a long story. Time is a bit tight now, so I won't explain it to you. Return!"
Nodding his head, Uchiha Madara's reliable wood clone dissolved into several pieces of wood, returning to Uchiha Madara's body.
In an instant, Uchiha Madara gained all the experiences his wood clone had accumulated over so many years.
...
The amount of information was truly a bit large. Uchiha Madara didn't have the time to carefully digest it, directly shouting loudly for White Zetsu:
"White Zetsu! If you're there, come out!"
It seemed that sensing Uchiha Madara's displeasure from his expression and tone at this moment, White Zetsu, with a "whoosh," emerged from the ground, startling the others who were still bewildered.
White Zetsu was still as servile and obsequious as before:
"Lord Madara! You've finally returned, what can I do for you!?"
"White Zetsu, activate all the clones you can! Disperse them throughout the north to search! Find me a black-haired, red-eyed girl. Once found, protect her at all costs!"
White Zetsu stammered, his expression contorted:
"This... Lord Madara... there are many black-haired, red-eyed girls. Could you provide a little more information?"
Walking to the office desk, Uchiha Madara directly grabbed a piece of paper, picked up a pen, and exerted his painting talent to the extreme. His hand moved like the wind, quickly sketching.
Three minutes later, a lifelike sketch of Akame appeared in Uchiha Madara's hand. Uchiha Madara showed it to White Zetsu:
"Akame, age sixteen, height one meter sixty-four, Elite Jonin level strength. Her chakra control is not very proficient, but her assassination skills are extremely superb, having killed over a hundred people. She is likely currently unconscious and might also be sealed, or even imprisoned."
White Zetsu nodded subserviently, jotting down these characteristics in his heart, then taking the sketch from Uchiha Madara's hand.
"Remember, search with all your might. Contact me immediately once found, and protect her at all costs!"
"As you command, Lord Madara!"
White Zetsu respectfully sank into the ground, diligently going to work, immediately activating all his clones.
Uchiha Madara still had considerable trust in White Zetsu's ability, and his suspended heart relaxed slightly.
Of course, relying solely on White Zetsu wasn't enough. Uchiha Madara needed to set out immediately and personally head north!
