The Uchiha's Path to the Top, Starting from Konoha

Chapter 107 Capturing Natives of Another World

On the boundless blue sea, two figures carrying aircraft streaked through the air, leaving white trails of flame that startled nearby seagulls and birds. They flew steadily in their predetermined directions.

"There are more and more islands lately."

"There are also more traces of life activity."

Two combat ninjas and sensory ninjas bearing the Konoha crest chatted idly in the air.

"According to intelligence, at this rate, it's only a matter of time before we discover traces of human activity. Hopefully, we can be the first to succeed."

"It all depends on luck. The direction of the other continent is still uncertain. We can only rely on the people of Kirigakure and the staff to make calculations based on the water flow, the islands, and the movement of fish."

Of the two ninjas with Jonin-level strength, one is from the Uzumaki clan and the other is from the Hyuga clan.

With their exceptional perception and superior vision, the two of them could handle all the exploration work in the open ocean if the aircraft didn't need to return to recharge. This is also the basic configuration for flight explorers in ocean fleets.

Currently, the area that can be explored in a day is as high as 200 kilometers. The three aircraft carriers start exploring outwards in a fan shape. After eliminating the overlapping parts, the area covered by the 24 flight exploration teams is over 1,000 kilometers per day.

A constantly revised and expanded nautical chart was posted on the wall of the Naruto Building's Military Affairs Department.

Every morning, Uchiha Yomo and Uzumaki Mito would review the sea chart they had rushed to complete the previous night. The numerous islands scattered across the chart ignited a burning passion in the hearts of these two high-ranking Konoha officials.

No one dislikes fertile land, as it represents an inexhaustible source of gold!

"Look over there!"

At that moment, under the blue sky above the sea, a Uzumaki ninja suddenly shouted and pointed. The nearby Hyuga ninja looked over immediately, and his Byakugan eyes snapped shut.

"We've spotted a ship!"

In Byakugan's view, about twenty kilometers away on the sea, a sailboat about thirty meters long was drifting on the water, with fishermen on board who looked much like humans from the ninja world!

The two were startled. The ninja summoned a ninja hawk, tied a letter to its leg, and sent it back to the fleet to deliver the good news.

The Hyuga ninja controlled the flying vehicle, his Byakugan open, observing the strength of his opponent.

Before long, he and the whirlpool ninja descended towards the sea.

"They have no chakra in their bodies, and judging from their behavior and strength, they are not even comparable to ordinary genin."

"Hmm, from my perception, their vitality isn't very strong either."

"Let's take them down together."

Both possessed Jonin-level strength, and after reaching a consensus, they floated lightly onto the sea surface.

To the astonishment of the fishermen, they quickly subdued the men who were trying to resist.

Several armored natives tried to fight back, but were easily knocked to the ground. However, the other side spoke in a completely unfamiliar language, which made the two give up on interrogating them for information.

Nearly an hour and a half later, three aircraft carriers came into view, and on the decks of the carriers were the three Uchiha heroes who were eagerly waiting.

"You two did a great job. Go back and rest. You'll get all the credit."

An excited Uchiha Rai patted the two men on the arm, then his gaze fell on the Yamanaka ninjas who were obeying his orders.

"They're in your hands now. You must extract every memory from their minds!"

"Here you go!"

Under the fearful gazes of the people from the other continent, the three squads of mountain ninjas stepped forward.

………………

The Hokage Building, six floors.

The unexpected good news caused the shadow clone sitting in the Hokage position to automatically dispel the spell, summoning Uchiha Takeoshi, who had just come out of a harem.

The Hokage, with a faint lipstick mark still on his face, made Mito Uzumaki, who had come to report the news, roll her eyes and sit down directly in the seat of Kaori Minamoto, assuming a dignified and elegant posture.

"Lord Hokage, although there are no outsiders in the office, you should still pay attention to your basic appearance."

With a hint of envy in her eyes, Minako Uzumaki took out a handkerchief and wiped the lip print off Uchiha Takeo's face.

This intimate gesture caused Mito Uzumaki to give a cryptic look, and she unconsciously tapped the table with her finger.

"Minako, we're outsiders."

Time has not left any trace of vicissitudes on Mito Uzumaki; on the contrary, with the passage of years, her elegance and nobility have become more refined with the passage of time.

Her face, once vibrant with youthful beauty, is now increasingly charming and captivating.

"The Hokage is Tsunade's teacher, so he shouldn't be considered an outsider, right?"

Under Mito Uzumaki's watchful gaze, Minako Uzumaki quickened her pace slightly, exchanged a tender glance with Takeo Uchiha, and then returned to her seat.

"You two look somewhat like siblings."

Over the past three years, the two of them have been using Tsunade's name, and in the eyes of outsiders, their intimate actions have gradually deepened.

However, Mito Uzumaki, who knew of Uchiha Muan's wolfish ambitions, was not happy about this. While keeping her distance from Uchiha Muan with resentment, she also kept a close watch on him, fearing that the tender and delicious white sheep, Minako Uzumaki, would fall into the tiger's mouth.

She was fully aware of the loneliness of being without a husband.

Mito Uzumaki guessed that her daughter-in-law's barrier sealing technique at night was just self-comfort, and she didn't dare to think about anything deeper.

"From now on, will Mrs. Mito be considered my godmother?"

Under Uchiha Takeo's meaningful gaze, and recalling the constant probing he had received over the past three years, Uzumaki Mito's heart skipped a beat. He coughed lightly, put his hand to his mouth, and said in a deep voice.

"Now it's time to talk about the good news from the ocean fleet. Please, Hokage, don't bring up topics unrelated to official business."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Wu'an straightened his posture and adopted an attentive listening attitude.

"Currently, on the ocean nine thousand kilometers away from the Ninja World Continent, the ocean fleet has successfully captured a fishing boat from another continent. The boat is a wooden sailboat, and there are twenty-three natives from another continent on board, all of whom have had their brains searched by mountain ninjas."

"Due to cultural differences and language barriers, the current information is somewhat inaccurate, but not too far off. Our skilled ninjas are also working hard to learn the language of this other continent, and we expect to see some results today."

Mito Uzumaki took out the scroll that had been sent back by the ocean fleet, handed it to Takeo Uchiha, and continued speaking.

"The natives on the fishing boats have very limited knowledge and information, which can be roughly divided into two categories."

"The first type is their homeland, which should be a kingdom on a different continent, a port city with a strong marine fishing industry. The people are mostly blond and blue-eyed. It is worth mentioning that in their memories, they discovered non-human beings, and there are pictures depicting their appearance on scrolls."

Uchiha Takeo gazed at the lifelike inhuman creature on the scroll—a short, ugly red-eyed dwarf with dark green skin—and a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.

"Does the Hokage know what kind of creature that is?"

Minako Uzumaki, who had been observing Uchiha Takeoshi, asked a question.

"I don't know, I just think these things should all be killed."

"oh."

After the brief conversation, Mito Uzumaki continued.

"The second type is those whose training methods are completely different from our ninja world. Their strong individuals rely on combat techniques and magic respectively."

"Judging from their memory performance, and considering the two armored warriors on the ship who were highly respected in daily life, their combat strength was not strong."

"But after all, it is a different continent where non-human beings exist. We still need to carefully gather intelligence so that we can know ourselves and our enemy."

"Okay, I'll leave this to you."

Uchiha Muan put down the scroll and looked at Uzumaki Mito.

"Also, inform Uchiha Rai that sometimes, there's no need to be timid. Give him the freedom to act boldly and adapt to changing circumstances."

"If that port city's military strength is inadequate and it can't detect our ninja transformation techniques, then just take its place!"

"Let that city become a bridgehead across the ninja world!"
