Capturing Natives from the New World

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

"There are more and more islands lately."

"There are also more traces of life activity."

Two Combat Ninja 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 water currents, islands, and the movement of fish schools."

Of the two ninjas with Jonin 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 Flight Device didn't need to return to recharge. This is also the basic configuration for flight explorers in Oceanic Fleet.

Currently, the area that can be explored in a day is as high as 200 kilometers. The three Aircraft Carrier 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 Hokage Building's Military Affairs Department.

Every morning, Uchiha Shikata and Mito Uzumaki would review the sea chart they had hastily completed the previous night. The numerous islands scattered across the chart ignited a burning passion in the hearts of these two Konoha High Command.

No one dislikes fertile land, for 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 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 Flight Device, his Byakugan open, observing the strength of his opponent.

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

"They have no Chakra, and judging from their behavior and strength, they are not even as strong as an 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 an agreement, they floated lightly onto the sea surface.

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

Several armored natives tried to fight back, but were easily knocked to the ground. However, the natives 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 Carrier came into view, and on the decks of the carriers were the Uchiha Three Heroes 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 Ninja who were obeying his orders.

"They're in your hands now. Make sure you extract every memory from their minds!"

"Here you are!"

Under the fearful gazes of the people from the other continent, the three squads of Yamanaka Ninja 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 Takeyasu, who had just emerged from a life of pleasure.

The Hokage-sama, 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 Minamoto Kaori's seat, adopting a dignified and elegant posture.

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

A Minako Uzumaki's eyes as she took out a handkerchief and wiped the lipstick mark off Uchiha Takeyasu's face.

This intimate gesture elicited a complex look from Mito Uzumaki, who unconsciously tapped her finger on the table.

"Minako, we're outsiders."

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

Her face, once vibrant with youthful beauty, grew ever more charming and captivating.

"The Hokage-sama 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 Uchiha Takeyasu, and then returned to her seat.

"You two look quite like siblings now."

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 Takeyasu's wolfish ambitions, was not happy about this. While keeping her distance from Uchiha Takeyasu 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.

Regarding the barrier Sealing Jutsu her daughter-in-law used at night, she guessed that the other party was just comforting herself, and Mito Uzumaki didn't dare to think about anything deeper.

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

Under Uchiha Takeyasu's meaningful gaze, and recalling the constant probing he had received over the past three years, Mito Uzumaki'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 Oceanic Fleet. Please, Hokage-sama, refrain from discussing topics unrelated to official business."

Upon hearing this Uchiha Takeyasu straightened his posture and adopted an attentive listening attitude.

"Currently, nine thousand kilometers off the coast of the Ninja World Continent, the Oceanic Fleet has successfully captured a fishing boat from another continent. The boat is a wooden sailing vessel, and on board are twenty-three natives from another continent, all of whom have had their brains searched by Yamanaka Ninja."

"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 transmitted back by the Oceanic Fleet, handed it to Uchiha Takeyasu, and continued speaking.

"The natives on the fishing boats have very limited knowledge and understanding; the information they possess can be roughly categorized into two main types."

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

Uchiha Takeyasu gazed at the lifelike inhuman creature on the scroll—a short, ugly Red Eye dwarf with dark green skin—and a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.

"Does Hokage-sama know what kind of creature that is?"

Minako Uzumaki had been observing Uchiha Takeyasu, spoke up and asked.

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

"Oh."

After the brief exchange, Mito Uzumaki continued.

"The second type is those whose training methods are completely different from our Ninja World's; their strong individuals rely on combat techniques and magic."

"Judging from their memory performance, and considering the two armored warriors on the ship who were quite 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 matter to you."

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

"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 Technique, then just take its place!"

"Let that city become a bridgehead Ninja World Continent!"
