Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

"I'll use ninjutsu so I can ignore the terrain. You'd better hold on tight to me!"

Zhili nodded in agreement: "Okay, don't push yourself too hard. If it really comes down to it, we can go camping."

Qu Feng smiled and said, "It's nothing. You're very light, so it won't be a problem for you."

Seeing that Toki had said this, Jiri felt relieved.

Takefusa walked behind Chiri and, just as she had carried Jiraiya in flight, secured Chiri with crystal vines.

Then, a large amount of mist burst forth from their sleeves, and the two of them flew into the sky.

With Yun's cover, discovering the two, Qu Feng and his companion, is not an easy task.

"It would have been better to just fly from the beginning; that would have saved a lot of time."

Upon hearing this, Toru smiled sheepishly and said, "I just wanted to be cautious, since we don't know how well the defenses are on the border of the Land of Lightning."

Persuaded by this reason, Chiri focused intently on the view below, barely moving to avoid burdening Tsurugi.

Looking down on the Land of Lightning from mid-air, it is truly a beautiful sight, with towering peaks and babbling streams, quite different from the scenery of the Land of Fire.

Such a beautiful scene, accompanied by the sunset, has a different charm.

Fortunately, the two finally arrived at the first village before dark.

Upon entering the village, I found that there were very few people there.

There are only a handful of households.

Upon seeing the outsiders, the village chief came out to inquire.

"How did you two children get here? Did you get lost from your family?"

Upon hearing this, Zhili immediately put on a pitiful expression: "Grandpa Village, my brother and I are going to the royal city to find our father and mother. They haven't been home for several days."

The village chief was also at a loss after hearing this, not knowing what to do.

"Children, would you like some food or some money? If I can help, I certainly will."

Qu Feng shook his head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but we just want to stay in the village for one night. Is that alright?"

The village chief thought it was something serious, but it turned out to be just a temporary overnight stay.

So he readily agreed, just as his son wasn't home; he'd gone to find the village beauty from the next village.

The empty room can be used by two children to squeeze in.

After thanking Feng Hezhi, they followed the village chief into the village.

You can tell from his words that although the village chief is cautious, he is a good person.

There aren't many houses in the village; it's quite a small village. We arrived at the village chief's house not far from there.

He pointed and said, "You two can stay in that room. My son won't be back anytime soon."

After thanking Feng Hezhi, he walked to the front of the house, pushed open the door, and went inside.

Although no one lives there, it is still cleaned spotlessly and is very tidy.

After all that work, it was completely dark. The village chief came to give some instructions and then went back to his house to sleep.

He used wind to lock the door and then used ice magic to freeze it from the inside, making it impossible to open from the outside.

The two of them finally relaxed completely.

Chiri slept on a bed, while Toki slept on a crystal platform made of crystal magic, which was no different from a bed when covered with a blanket.

"Feng, where are we headed tomorrow? Straight to the royal city?"

Qu Feng rolled over on the crystal bed: "The place with the most people in the Land of Thunder is the royal city. If we want to complete the mission, the first stop will definitely be the royal city."

"If you want to go sightseeing, let's go after the mission is over."

What Takafumi said makes a lot of sense; Chiri was just asking out of boredom.

After chatting for a while longer, Fuu and Chiri stopped their idle chatter and fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, the two were woken up by the village chief, but the chief pulled on the door for a long time without opening it. Just when they thought it was broken, the wind melted the ice from the inside.

The two thought they were being seen off, but to their surprise, the village chief had prepared a meal and invited them to eat together.

"Grandpa Village, we'll stop eating now. We plan to head to the royal city right away."

But the two of them couldn't resist the old man's insistence, and after being forced to eat two steamed buns, they finally left the small village.

"It must be because the village chief was worried that we would go hungry that he made so many steamed buns."

But the two of them couldn't resist the old man's insistence, and after being forced to eat two steamed buns, they finally left the small village.

"It must be because the village chief was worried that we would go hungry that he made so many steamed buns."

"He's a very good person."

The village chief was the first person they met after arriving in the Land of Lightning, which improved their impression of the Land of Lightning.

However, judging whether a country is good or bad cannot be done by a few people.

To get a more direct understanding, one must go to the royal city, as it is where all the nobles and people of status and power gather.

Large numbers of young people flocked to the capital, hoping to be noticed by the daimyo and make a name for themselves.

The attitude of the people of the royal city directly reflects the attitude of the daimyo.

After getting acquainted with the area yesterday, Qu Feng directly summoned Qingyun and Liufeng for transportation.

This place is a hundred and eight thousand miles away from the capital; if we were to run, it would probably take two days to get there.

Two cranes carried Tsukaze and Chiri into the high sky. The clouds obscured their figures, and only the silhouettes of the two cranes could be seen flying above the clouds.

"We'd better speed things up. After we find out what the people of the Land of Lightning think about the war, we still need to make contact with our informant in the Hidden Cloud Village."

After hearing this, Zhili responded. Tori was the captain of this operation, and Zhili only needed to carry out orders.

Gathering intelligence isn't particularly difficult; as long as you don't go too far, you'll generally go unnoticed.

However, it would be difficult to find an informant in Kumogakure to make contact. If they were discovered, Kumogakure would have an excuse to launch an attack on Konoha.

Ranran was still far from the royal city, so the two chatted about various topics to pass the time.

As they chatted, Toru remembered something and asked, "By the way, Chiri, is the Two-Tails being controlled by your grandfather or your father?"

Chiri didn't know why Tori asked this, and then shook her head: "No, since we were assigned the tailed beasts, Grandpa and Father have never intended to control them."

"Instead, it was kept sealed away, waiting to be handed over to my brother after he achieved something."

Then, Chiri continued, "Didn't my brother recently become a member of Tobirama-sama's guard and secretary?"

The father gave the two-tailed beast as a gift to his older brother, and he should be quite adept at handling it now.

Toki was naturally unaware of these things, and even more surprisingly, Kagami became the Jinchūriki of the Two-Tails.

How should we evaluate this? It seems that the Uchiha clan really loves cats.

Both the tailed beasts and the summoning beasts are cats, so they must be from a cat-loving family.

However, speaking of which, the Two-Tails' abilities are somewhat compatible with the Uchiha clan.

The two chatted idly, one sentence after another, and soon they could see the view of the capital from the sky.

It is much larger and more prosperous than Konoha Village, and now it has established a ninja village system.

The daimyo is basically a useless person, with no real power, just guarding his own little corner of the land.

The ninja villages are responsible for war, and the Raikage handles diplomacy as well.

Even so, the daimyo is still the most respected person in the entire country, and even the Five Kage must give way to the daimyo.

Torifu had never understood this at all; how could such a powerful ninja have to be so subservient to the daimyo?

"Land."

Qingyun and Liufeng always obeyed the orders to take the wind, and the two cranes landed safely behind a patch of grass.

It didn't attract too much attention and was not noticed by anyone.

"Phew, we've finally arrived." Qu Feng shook off non-existent sweat and looked at the gates of the royal city in the distance.

He had been to the royal city of the Land of Hot Water, but it was certainly not as good as what he was seeing now; they were worlds apart.

The size of the Kingdom of Thunder's capital city is almost enough to contain two of the Kingdom of Hot Springs' capital cities.

I just don't know what it's like inside.

After Qingyun and Liufeng finished their spirit communication spell, the two headed towards the city gate.

The guards did not notice that Tokiwa and Chiri were dressed differently, nor did they question them in detail.

So far, everything is going quite smoothly.

But once you arrive in the capital, the first thing to consider is accommodation; you can't just sleep on the streets, can you?

Tori and Chiri had no idea what day it was, and they went to several hotels, only to find that they were all fully booked.

After running around for a while, the two finally found a hotel that was relatively clean. They paid for two days and went inside to rest.

Upon entering the house, we found that there were two beds inside, so we wouldn't need to sleep on the crystal bed to draw air.

"The capital of the Land of Lightning is not bad. When we went to the capital of the Land of Fire, it seemed quite ordinary."

"I don't know if it's fixed yet."

Chiri's first impression of the capital was quite good; if she had to deduct a point, it would only be the large number of people.

Qu Feng lay on the bed and said leisurely, "A few years have passed, and things must be even better now."

When Chiri arrived in the new place, she was curious about everything, looking around at this and that, but she found that she had all the furniture and decorations in her home.

It can only be said that the Uchiha clan truly lives up to its reputation as a major clan.

Someone's stomach growled, and then the two of them said in unison, "How about we go out to eat in town?"

After saying that, they both smiled. This wasn't the first time; they had become increasingly in sync.

"Let's go and see what good food the Land of Lightning has to offer."
