Chapter 312: Ranch
It also saved him the trouble of coming back himself.
The middle-aged man replied, "It takes a day to walk, but only half a day by carriage. My lords, do you have a carriage?"
Uchiha Fugaku shook his head.
"We don't have a carriage."
The middle-aged man looked embarrassed.
"I'm sorry. The only horse in our village was killed by a goblin. Originally, we could have sent you by carriage, but now we can only walk."
Uchiha Fugaku said to himself that he was only asking about the distance.
The middle-aged man thought for a moment and said,
"About fifty li."
Uchiha Fugaku nodded. At this distance, Susanoo could arrive almost instantly. Walking would take a full day, but flying would not even take half an hour — ten minutes at most.
"Do you know which direction Al Pacino is in?" Uchiha Fugaku asked.
The man hesitated, then pointed.
"Roughly in that direction."
He quickly added,
"I didn't account for detours. I mean Al Pacino is fifty li away in that direction."
"Alright. No need to lead us. We'll go ourselves."
Uchiha Fugaku glanced around. While they were speaking, Naruto, Sasuke, and Uchiha Itachi had almost finished clearing out the goblins.
He instructed Shibata Hyūga to call them back.
"Uncle!"
Naruto and Sasuke returned first.
"Are all the goblins dealt with?"
Uchiha Fugaku asked casually.
"Done! I killed way more than Sasuke!" Naruto said provocatively.
Sasuke scoffed. "How many did you kill?"
Naruto put his hands on his hips proudly.
"Seven!"
Sasuke smirked and raised his fingers.
"What does that mean?" Naruto asked.
Sasuke replied disdainfully,
"Idiot. It's eight."
Naruto refused to believe him and dragged Sasuke off to check the bodies. Uchiha Fugaku shook his head, not bothering to stop them.
On the other side of the house, Uchiha Izumi wiped the green blood from her short sword.
Five goblins lay dead on the ground, clutching various crude weapons.
Four had been killed by Izumi, one by Uchiha Itachi.
She sheathed her sword, pity flashing in her eyes as she looked at the woman on the ground. Before they arrived, the woman had been violated by the goblins. Even though the goblins were dead, the scars would follow her for life.
But she was alive.
As long as there was life, there was hope.
"Put your clothes on. The goblins are all dead."
Uchiha Izumi helped the woman cover herself.
"Thank you…"
The woman sobbed hoarsely.
Uchiha Izumi didn't know how to comfort her and looked helplessly at Itachi.
Uchiha Itachi frowned. He had never dealt with something like this before.
At that moment, Shibata Hyūga arrived.
"Uchiha Itachi, Uchiha Izumi. Hokage-sama is calling you."
Since Itachi held no official post, Shibata Hyūga addressed him by name.
"Oh. Alright."
"Let's go, Izumi," Itachi said.
Uchiha Izumi nodded, glancing back once more.
"It's safe now. Go find your family."
The three of them hurried back toward Uchiha Fugaku.
The woman clenched her teeth, forcing herself to stand despite the pain, calling out her family's names.
Everyone regrouped before Uchiha Fugaku.
Seeing they had all returned, he summoned Susanoo.
The red giant startled the villagers, but they soon realized it belonged to their benefactors.
After Susanoo flew away, the villagers stared into the distance for a long time.
Uchiha Fugaku flew swiftly in the indicated direction.
The speed was so great that without the chakra membrane covering Susanoo's hands, the wind alone could have blown them away.
After about ten minutes, the forest thinned out. The land flattened.
A ranch appeared ahead.
Uchiha Fugaku controlled Susanoo to land outside the fence, avoiding harm to the cattle and sheep inside.
