Chapter 302 - Flooding
Uchiha Izumi looked in the direction Itachi was pointing, saw the snack stall, and nodded with a smile, "Okay!"
What Uchiha Itachi didn't know was that Uchiha Izumi wasn't particularly fond of dango; she only liked them because Uchiha Itachi did.
But she wouldn't tell Uchiha Itachi that.
"Then let's go, I'll treat you."
Uchiha Itachi said with a smile.
"Mm!"
Looking at Uchiha Itachi's smile, Uchiha Izumi thought of what Aunt Mikoto had said.
Her face bloomed with a smile like a flower, "Let's go!"
...
"I'm back."
Uchiha Itachi changed his shoes and entered the living room.
Uchiha Mikoto was waiting for Itachi to return, "Did you send her home properly?"
Uchiha Itachi nodded, "I did."
"That's good," Uchiha Mikoto nodded contentedly, then yawned, "I'm going to bed now, don't stay up too late, alright?"
After Uchiha Mikoto finished speaking, she went upstairs.
"Father."
Uchiha Itachi went and sat next to Uchiha Fugaku.
"What is it?"
Uchiha Fugaku said without lifting his head.
He was currently fighting a crucial boss.
"Ichikawa Ao mastered three more C-Rank Ninjutsu today."
It turned out that as he was about to return home, the Shadow Clone at Ichikawa Ao's side automatically dispelled, and the memories returned.
He learned that Ichikawa Ao had learned a total of three C-Rank Ninjutsu today, and could successfully perform all of them.
Although he already knew that their Goblin Ninjutsu talent was astonishing, such rapid progress still surprised him.
"Oh, I thought it was something important."
Uchiha Fugaku said indifferently, "You don't need to tell me about such minor matters."
A glint flashed in his eyes as he thought that the key moment was in two days; he would then see if this Goblin was truly a Transmigrator.
If it was a Transmigrator, he would decide whether or not to eliminate it based on the situation.
In any case, he was more inclined to eliminate it; any factors unfavorable to him had to be eradicated.
Therefore, he didn't care what this Goblin learned.
In his mind, the probability of that Goblin being a Transmigrator had already risen to 80%.
The reason for such a high probability was also due to the suspicious eye contact they had made earlier.
In any case, this Goblin wouldn't be able to learn any advanced Ninjutsu anytime soon.
Firstly, the Goblin extracted very little Chakra, and although its Ninjutsu talent was astonishing, its Chakra reserves could not rapidly catch up in just two days.
Secondly, he possessed all the advanced Ninjutsu, such as the book of sealing, and the advanced Ninjutsu snatched from Hidden Cloud Village.
Of course, he carried these precious items with him in a storage scroll.
Uchiha Itachi shouldn't have taught the Goblin his ultimate advanced Ninjutsu, right?
But it didn't matter; as long as the Goblin didn't have a system or some other heaven-defying cheat, he wasn't worried.
However, in just two days, it couldn't turn the world upside down.
"Okay, Father, I'm going to take a bath."
It was getting late, and Uchiha Itachi planned to take a bath and then go to his room to sleep.
The next day.
"Hokage-sama, this is the intelligence Assistant asked me to deliver."
Kisame Hoshigaki knelt on one knee, holding up a scroll with both hands.
Uchiha Fugaku took the scroll, opened it, and his gaze narrowed as he scanned it.
After intelligence gathering and investigation, it was discovered that sightings of green-skinned monsters had been reported in the coastal areas near Naoetsu, and many villages had even been attacked, resulting in casualties.
These green-skinned monsters were undoubtedly Goblins.
They're just like cockroaches.
Uchiha Fugaku sighed, Goblins reproduce too quickly, just like cockroaches; a nest of Goblins discovered in the Land of Hot Springs could mean they've already spread everywhere in secret.
Upon investigation by the intelligence department, they were indeed found within the Land of Fire as well, currently only in coastal areas; it was likely that some Goblins from the Land of Hot Springs had accidentally boarded fishing boats and reached the coastal areas of the Land of Fire.
Of course, Uchiha Fugaku didn't intend to ignore them. Currently, Goblins seemed to have the same strength as those in a sword and magic world. Whether the talking, highly Ninjutsu-talented Goblin that Uchiha Itachi had was an exception was unknown, but other Goblins probably weren't lucky enough to be taught Ninjutsu.
Therefore, the strength of other Goblins was just so-so; one-on-one, they might even lose to an adult male.
Because Goblins are generally only about 1.4 to 1.5 meters tall.
But Goblins are pack creatures, and with enough numbers, even adult males can't withstand them.
Goblins win by numbers.
However, the premise is that the opponent is an ordinary person; Genin should be able to easily defeat them one by one.
Although Genin don't master many Ninjutsu, dealing with Goblins is definitely not a problem.
It's a good opportunity to issue some missions and let the Genin in the village gain some experience and see some blood.
Let all the graduating squads this year head to the coastal areas to hunt Goblins.
Those Goblin pups haven't been born yet, so it's a good chance to catch some Goblins from the coast and see if they all have Ninjutsu talent like Ichikawa Ao.
After Uchiha Fugaku finished writing his reply, he handed it to Kisame Hoshigaki, telling him to take it back to Nara Shikaku.
Kisame Hoshigaki respectfully bid farewell, flipped out of the window, and quickly disappeared from sight.
"Father, who was just here?"
Uchiha Itachi came out of the bathroom after washing up, asking curiously.
He thought he heard his Father talking to someone in the living room just now.
"Mm, Kisame came over."
"Did something happen?"
Uchiha Itachi's gaze sharpened.
"Goblins have been discovered in the coastal areas of the Land of Fire, and it seems there are quite a few of them."
This wasn't something that needed to be kept secret, so Uchiha Fugaku said directly.
"They might have come from the Land of Hot Springs, like Ichikawa Ao, perhaps they left that nest early."
Uchiha Itachi said.
"Mm, the cave you discovered should be the source."
Uchiha Fugaku said, that Hyuga Castle mysteriously disappeared inside the cave, it's very likely that the Any Door is in that cave.
"I'm planning to send all the Genin of this graduating class to the coastal areas to hunt Goblins. Get ready, and take Naruto and Sasuke with you."
"Okay!"
Uchiha Itachi agreed and quickly went upstairs to wake up Naruto and Sasuke.
A moment later, Naruto and Sasuke were in the living room checking their ninja tool pouches.
"Won't you eat breakfast before you go?"
Uchiha Mikoto asked from the side.
"No, Kaa-san, we'll just buy some buns to eat on the way," Uchiha Itachi said, then turned to Uchiha Fugaku, "Father, I'm planning to take Ichikawa Ao with me. He already has Chunin level strength."
Uchiha Fugaku pondered for a moment, then objected, "No, there are still some things I need to confirm about Ichikawa Ao. If there are no problems, I will bring him to find you the day after tomorrow."
Uchiha Itachi asked curiously, "You're coming too?"
"Mm, I'll bring the Hyuga Clan members then. I'm preparing to go to the Land of Hot Springs to see the nest you discovered.
I'll depart the day after tomorrow. The day after that, don't go hunting Goblins; wait for me at the highest mountain near Jiangjin Pier."
