Chapter 310: The Village Was Attacked
Several people looked up at the sky. Above the blue expanse, there were no white clouds — only the scorching sun hanging high above.
Uchiha Itachi glanced at the sun, then lowered his head in thought. The time in both worlds didn't match.
Is this why Father determined this was another world?
"Huh, that's strange… was it dusk when we came in, Sasuke?"
Naruto, sensing something was off, asked Sasuke beside him, frowning.
"Yes, it was dusk," Sasuke replied, his small face grave.
"Look! What's that!"
Naruto suddenly exclaimed and dashed forward.
"Hey, Naruto!"
Uchiha Itachi called out, but Naruto had already sprinted toward a patch of grass ahead.
He crouched down, picked up a stick, and began poking at something.
Having seen it through his Shadow Clone's memories, Uchiha Fugaku already knew what Naruto was looking at — a Slime, the lowest-tier monster in a world of swords and magic.
"What did you find?" Sasuke asked, running up.
Itachi and Uchiha Izumi followed closely.
The two Hyūga jōnin stood like silent sentinels until Lord Fugaku passed. Only then did they move, keeping formation behind him.
When the Hokage approached, they too saw what Naruto had discovered — several blobs of translucent blue slime.
"What is this?" one of the Hyūga murmured, confused.
"Hey, Sasuke, look — this thing moves!" Naruto said.
Sasuke frowned. "Moves? They're just jelly blobs. Maybe some animal's leftovers."
"It really moves! Watch!"
Naruto poked one harder. This time, the slime suddenly bounced — landing right on Uchiha Izumi.
Startled, Izumi ducked instinctively, and Itachi, reacting fast, drew his short sword and batted the slime aside.
Splish!
The slime splattered on a tree and slowly slid down.
"It really does move," Sasuke muttered, intrigued. He too picked up a stick and poked another slime.
"Hey, what is this thing? It looks like jelly, but it's alive!" Naruto said excitedly.
Although Fugaku knew what it was called, he kept silent — it would be difficult to explain how he knew.
After some observation, they continued their journey.
Fugaku instructed Shibata Hyūga to leave chakra markers so they wouldn't get lost on the way back to the Moonview Fortress.
Shibata Hyūga, the shorter of the two, obeyed silently. The taller one, built like a stone wall, was named Hyūga Yokoyama.
After walking ten minutes, they still found no signs of human life.
Fugaku decided to summon Susanoo and scout from the air. He wanted to locate settlements — towns or cities, anywhere humans might live.
While Naruto and Sasuke had been distracted by the slimes, Fugaku noticed something new appear in his System mission log:
[Mission: Identify the anime world you are in.]
Time limit: 24 hours
Reward: Kusanagi Sword
Not bad, Fugaku thought. Since I took Itachi's Mangekyō, this could serve as fair compensation.
But only if he succeeded — there was one chance to submit the correct name.
No penalty for failure, but failure meant losing the reward.
Fugaku himself was curious. If this was a world he'd seen before, it could prove advantageous.
And now that he possessed such power, he could move freely — doing whatever he pleased, like an ancient shinobi wandering the world.
"Uncle, look over there!"
Naruto pointed from Susanoo's shoulder.
Susanoo flew low — less than a hundred meters up, perfect height for observing details.
Fugaku followed Naruto's gaze. "That… looks like a village. Small one."
Barely ten houses, scattered across farmland like those in the southern Fire Country's countryside.
He decided to descend and ask around — maybe someone could tell them where they were.
"Wait, why is there smoke?" Naruto asked suddenly.
"Maybe they're burning crops," Izumi guessed.
But as they drew closer, Naruto shouted, "No! The houses — they're on fire!"
Thick black smoke curled upward.
"It looks like goblins are attacking the village!" Sasuke said sharply.
"That's right — goblins!" Naruto echoed.
Below, small green humanoids wielding crude cleavers clashed with farmers armed with hoes and pitchforks.
The numbers seemed even, but the goblins were faster, more savage.
A few hundred meters away, villagers — women and children — were fleeing, chased by more goblins.
Bodies lay motionless on the ground.
Fugaku's Susanoo descended swiftly.
As its massive hand touched down, Naruto and Sasuke slid down eagerly, kunai drawn, ready to charge.
