Naruto: Reborn as an Otsutsuki Chapter 182 - 181: Inside the Goblin Lord’s Lair!

Ultimately, Touma and Haneda spent nearly three more minutes finishing off all the remaining goblins before walking toward Seii in a leisurely manner.

Their mission was almost finished. Now, all they had to do was search the goblins' lairs carefully to see if they could find any valuable intel.

As for the riches and treasures they were about to find inside the goblin lair…

Of course, that would go inside their pockets.

Their mission was to find clues about the missing people and caravans, and to eliminate those responsible, if possible.

So, except for intel and staff that might be crucial for Konoha, they could gobble up everything else.

And since the already-dead goblins looted quite a few rchant caravans before they ca over to eliminate them, the goblins should have a lot of gold, silver, precious minerals, dical herbs, and other valuable things.

Just thinking about that, Ishimori Haneda couldn't help but rub his hands together with a greedy expression on his face that felt borderline perverted.

His expression was akin to a perverted old man looking at the passing beauties.

On the other hand, Seii and Touma could no longer bear to watch Haneda's actions. But what could they even say?

They didn't know why Haneda was acting like that.

All they knew was that Haneda started rubbing his hands with a perverted grin on his lips after confirming that all the goblins, including the goblin lord, had been dealt with.

If they didn't know that Haneda had a rather stable ntality and a strong willpower, they would have thought that the constant slaughter in this mission had finally made him crazy.

Now, Seii and Touma could only stare blankly at Haneda.

And Haneda, who felt the scrutinizing gazes of his friends on him, quickly wiped the grin from his face, looked at Seii and Touma a couple of tis, and raised his eyebrow in an arch in confusion.

Unable to withstand the piercing gazes anymore, he asked, "What? Why are you looking at like that?"

Touma still looked at him strangely before replying, "Nothing! It's just… the way you were grinning like a retard...I thought you finally lost your mind."

Haneda's expression visibly darkened after hearing Touma's reply.

"Who are you calling retard, you battlecrazy bastard? You are retard, your ancestors are retard, your whole fourteen generations are retard."

This reply instantly angered Touma. "How dare you curse our glorious ancestor?"

anwhile, Seii was watching them squabble from the side with an amused grin.

Actually, if what I watched in ani in my previous life really happened, that ancestor of Uchiha, Otsutsuki Indra, is indeed a retard. Uchiha ninjas are proficient in casting Genjutsu to control the battle rhythm and the enemy's actions. But their ancestor was manipulated by the filial and dutiful son of my grandma Kaguya, the Black Zetsu.

That Asura was no good, either. Naruto's talk-no-jutsu might be inherited from his chakra reincarnation's influence, but he was way too passive. If that second cousin of mine weren't as powerful as he was, preaching love and peace might have gotten him killed, similar to how Yahiko was killed in the ani.

Honestly, if Hagoromo, that lazy biological uncle of mine, had a decisive and direct descendant like my father, Senju Tobirama, the family drama of the Shinobi continent wouldn't have stretched this long.

Tsk, tsk! Truly tragic!

Then again, this is an alternative Narutoverse. I can't be sure.

Just as Seii was cursing his biological relatives from thousands of years ago, he suddenly heard Haneda cursing at the relatives of the Uchiha ancestor as well.

And this ti, it was Seii's forehead that was suddenly covered in imaginary black lines.

Cursing the Uchiha ancestors' relatives? Isn't this fellow indirectly cursing at ?

Hmm?

Never mind. As a generous person from a forgotten age, I shall be rciful this ti.

With that, Seii decided to intervene and stop them from squabbling. Otherwise, they might really run at each other with their blades drawn.

"Alright. That's enough. You can fight after we get back to Konoha. Right now, let's search the house of the goblin lord."

Seii's words imdiately caused them to snap out of their verbal spar. They looked at Seii, looked at each other, and then looked at Seii once more before finally calming down.

Although Touma and Haneda eyed each other with an expression that scread 'I will slice you up later', Seii knew they would forget about this little argunt soon.

So, without further ado, he directly led his teammates to the largest house within the goblin hideout, which was also the lair of the goblin lord.

The atmosphere of the goblin lord's hideout was nothing short of eerie.

Torches and ancient goblets flickered with fire, illuminating the abode with a haunting glow. Right at the entrance, there was a hall that led toward the center of the abode.

As they walked through the hall illuminated by the flas of the torches, a nauseating sll of rotten blood and dried waste entered Seii and his friends' nostrils, causing them to grimace.

"Goddamn it. I have been to the lairs of other chakra beasts. But none of them slled as bad as this. Even with all the disgusting things I have witnessed and endured, the stench here still almost made vomit."

Seii grumbled in a low voice as he walked forward.

Behind him, Touma's face was almost green in disgust as he pressed a hand on his nose. "If it weren't for the goods stored here, I would have burned this place down with a supercharged Great Fireball Jutsu."

anwhile, Haneda, who was relatively calr than Touma, chuckled.

"Now, now, Touma. Suppress your Will of Arson. You will have plenty of opportunities later."

Hearing this, Touma said nothing. With the nauseating stench perating the air inside the goblin lord's abode, he had completely lost the will to argue anymore.

It was better to grab everything valuable and burn this place as soon as possible.

Soon, they reached the end of the hallway and entered a large room that resembled a budget version of a throne room.

In the middle of the room, there was a throne made of polished white-grey bones. The seat of the throne was covered in soft white fur of so chakra beast that they couldn't quite recognize.

Well, the goblin lord did place a lot of expensive jewels of different varieties inside the bone cavities of the throne to make it look grander.

It was honestly pretty crude, but the jewels there could at least fetch a few million Ryo. So, Seii and his team plucked the jewels without any hesitation.

Next, they focused their gaze on the entrance to another area behind the throne.

Seii and Haneda looked at each other before nodding their heads.

If their speculations weren't wrong, behind that entrance, there should be the rooms where the goblin lord usually rested and hoarded everything it deed valuable.

They walked forward without hesitation.

"There are several rooms here. But why is the stench getting even stronger?" Touma couldn't help but speak up.

Even Seii found the stench too nauseating and couldn't help but manipulate the Wind Release chakra around him to keep the stench at bay.

However, along with the rotten stench, his nose also picked up a sll that felt almost fishy, coupled with a hint of rusted tal, before he filtered the sll by circulating Wind Release chakra to manipulate the air around him.

This made him slightly uneasy.

Because that sll felt like blood that hadn't rotted yet.

Even the expressions on Touma's and Haneda's faces turned solemn.

Any thought of treasure had evaporated from their minds.

Because they knew that they were about to witness sothing truly horrifying.
