Sasuke followed the other two with growing annoyance, leaning against the doorframe and folding his arms. The mental timer was ticking, and while Lee had a point, Lee probably also didn't actually have a plan ready to follow the statement.
"Where you want to go is over there," he said, indicating the direction from which they'd been removed. "The girl who removed us is likely not a permanent guard, because we heard loud conflict."
They'd been handled with barely a sound. It was more probable that the girl, like the girl Sasuke had met the other night, simply wandered in search of victims. If she was anything like the other one, a few minutes and she would be gone, satisfied.
Of course, that meant that there were other enemies in the place, but an enemy who fought with weapons and caused physical damage was significantly easier to handle than one who could manipulate space and time.

Lee thought about the plan carefully. It was certainly the same thing that he had considered, though as to the idea that it was the only way to get to their destination was questionable. On the other hand, they had little time to go searching for another entrance. Or at least, the way that Naoe was acting certainly made it clear that they were not going to be given enought time to make a thorough search

Naoe shook his head. He considered both of the teenagers.
"No," he said after a pause. "This is too dangerous and I cannot ask either of you to put yourselves in harm because of this. If anyone is going to go in first, it should be me."
Everything was reduced in this place, which likely meant that even non-chakra-enhanced movement would be more sluggish than it usually was, but there was no need for anyone else to know that.
"I'll be quick enough," Sasuke said, and then shot Yoshiaki a dismissive glare. He raised the sword in his hand in a way that made it quite obvious that Sasuke was the only one present with what might be considered a truly dangerous weapon.
"As Lee said, I'm fast," he said shortly, hand already on the doorknob. "And I am trained in both physical combat and combat with the weapon I am using. Of the three of us, I would have the most advantage if I were to move first and meet an attack."
There were voices outside -- Alucard and Aidou were still there, judging by the sound -- and Sasuke itched to get moving already, because he'd planned to get things done tonight.

"Let's move. Or are there still objections?"
