Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

Zhili followed Qufeng and skipped away from the hotel. There were quite a few stalls set up on the street at this time.

Zhili walked ahead to order the food, while Qufeng walked behind to pay at each restaurant.

I ate almost all the food on the street in one trip.

It cost nearly five hundred taels of silver, inside and out, which wasn't a lot.

Zhili seemed not to have had enough, so he bought a little more, not much, only about one hundred taels.

These consumers didn't want to let the wind pay, so they took out their own wallets and prepared to pay.

But suddenly a figure flashed by, and when Zhili looked down again, his wallet had been snatched!

Instead of shouting, Zhili quickly followed.

The man didn't look very tall, and he was very thin; from behind, he looked like a child.

However, he ran very fast, and judging from the reactions of the people in the city, he must be a repeat offender.

Thinking of this, Qu Feng followed immediately, wanting to see if he could catch the thief.

However, since it was their first time visiting the capital of the Land of Lightning, they were not as familiar as the locals.

The two were unfamiliar with the roads, and the other person left them behind after only a few intersections.

Chiri was also very upset about this. Although the money was not much, she felt very embarrassed that it had been stolen from her.

The two were unfamiliar with the roads, and the other person left them behind after only a few intersections.

Chiri was also very upset about this. Although the money was not much, she felt very embarrassed that it had been stolen from her.

After being shaken off, Toru and Chiri didn't continue the chase. It was just a wallet being stolen; it wasn't a big deal.

However, it wouldn't be good to loudly proclaim it and attract too much attention, since the two of them came here to obtain intelligence and information.

"The child was very agile, perhaps he had been trained, but he was also excessively thin, which was probably due to long-term malnutrition."

Qu Feng roughly analyzed the basic situation based on the child's silhouette.

Zhili agreed, saying, "I didn't expect robbery to be so blatant in the capital of the Land of Lightning."

They didn't encounter anything like this when they visited the capital of the Fire Kingdom, but it seems they were given a rude awakening as soon as they arrived in the capital of the Thunder Kingdom.

"Judging from the expressions of the people around him, that child must be a repeat offender."

When the purse was stolen from Chiri, the onlookers showed some schadenfreude, while others had expressions like "It happened again" or "I knew it."

It's obvious that people here are frequently robbed, but why doesn't anyone arrest them?

Zhili waved his hand dismissively: "Never mind, there's not much money left anyway."

He then added, "He looks about five or six years old. He probably has his reasons for doing this. Let's just consider it a good deed, as long as he doesn't try to take it from me again."

Upon hearing this, Toki smiled slightly. Chiri was always so kind-hearted; even when faced with a robbery, she could laugh it off.

But hopefully that child won't come back a second time, otherwise things won't have ended so peacefully.

In their pursuit of the child, Toru and Chiri ran to secluded streets where there were hardly any people around.

Not knowing the way, the two could only rely on their memory to return the way they came.

Fortunately, their memories were pretty good, and after only going down one wrong street, they successfully returned to the main street.

The two had achieved their goal of having a meal on the street, and it must be said that the food in the Land of Lightning was quite good.

Perhaps it was because it was the first time the two of them had eaten there, and it had a rather exotic feel to it.

On their way back to the hotel, the two encountered some food stalls. After buying some snacks, Zhili's mood improved.

The bad mood from having my wallet stolen has completely vanished.

"These things from the Land of Lightning are not bad, but they're not as good as grilled meat."

Zhili's mouth was full of words, but he spoke very clearly.

Seeing Zhili's appearance, Toru couldn't help but poke Zhili's cheek with his finger.

As a result, Chiri stared blankly at Torifu and asked, "Why are you poking my face?!"

Then he poked back with his own hand: "I would never let myself be taken advantage of!"

Torifu chuckled, and Zhili, thinking he was being mocked, pretended to be angry and said, "Torifu, what do you mean!"

Qu Feng waved his hand and took a breath: "No, no, I just thought you were cuter just now."

Okay, so it turns out that Tori wasn't laughing at her. After realizing this, Zhili pouted and said, "I've always been cute, okay? Grandpa always says that to me."

Qu Feng immediately agreed, and the two returned to the inn amidst their playful bickering.

But what they didn't notice was that in a hidden corner, a little boy of about fifty or sixty was secretly watching them.

He was wearing tattered clothes, covered in mud, and very thin, but his eyes were surprisingly firm, something not typical for someone his age.

After seeing Toru and Chiri enter the inn, the little boy seemed to hesitate for a moment before quietly leaving.

The next morning, Qu Feng woke up first. Sleeping on the crystal bed was somewhat uncomfortable because it was quite hard.

He planned to ask the owner if there were any rooms available, so that it would be more convenient for him and Zhili, and they could sleep better.

After all, staying in a hotel doesn't cost much.

Toki carefully pushed open the door, afraid of waking Jiri, but something in front of the door caught his attention.

"Isn't this Chiri's wallet? How did it get here?"

Qu Feng muttered to himself, "Last night, Zhili's wallet was stolen, but today it was returned. What kind of drama is this?"

Qu Feng picked up the wallet, opened it, and saw that all the money inside was gone.

There was only a small note in the wallet. Instead of opening it without permission, he went to the bedside and woke up Zhili.

"Zhili, wake up, your wallet is back."

Zhili was still a little groggy when she was woken up by the wind, but she immediately perked up when she heard that her wallet had been returned.

"Where is it!"

"promise."

Qu Feng handed the wallet to Zhi Li.

"Ah, I never thought I'd get it back. This is my favorite wallet; my grandfather gave it to me on my fifth birthday."

It was only after hearing what Zhili said that Qufeng realized how much Zhili cared about the wallet, and how Zhili could have acted so indifferent yesterday.

It must have been a decision that he struggled with for a long time before making it.

"There should be a note left by that person inside. After all, it's your stuff, so I didn't open it without permission."

Zhili smiled after hearing this: "Tori, you're being too polite! We're not just good friends, we're fellow disciples. Don't do that next time!"

Qufeng smiled and agreed to Zhili's request, then urged her to open the note and take a look. Qufeng was also quite curious about what the note might contain.

After carefully reading the note, Zhili's expression immediately turned serious.

Seeing this, Toru immediately looked at the note, which read: 'You're an Uchiha, right? Thank you for your money.'

Now, Tokifu's expression also turned serious. He had only been in the Land of Lightning for less than three days, and his identity had already been exposed.

But how could that child be so sure that Chiri was a member of the Uchiha clan?

"How do we get wind?"

Zhili did not appear flustered, but calmly asked for Qufeng's opinion.

After all, in such a critical moment, the more flustered you are, the more likely you are to expose your weaknesses.

Moreover, the two have been partners for a long time and their cooperation is very smooth. This time it was just a slightly more difficult task.

"The fact that he was able to slip the note into his wallet and bring it over means that he doesn't intend to publicize it yet. Let's hold back for now and see how he reacts."

After folding the note and putting it in his wallet, Zhili put the wallet away. "Then let's proceed as usual, but we need to be more careful and watch out for our surroundings."

Chapter 145 The storm is about to arise

After folding the note and putting it in his wallet, Zhili put the wallet away. "Then let's proceed as usual, but we need to be more careful and watch out for our surroundings."

Torifuji affirmed, "Don't be so nervous. Since he's doing this, he must be trying to use it as leverage."

"Let's see what he wants."

Upon hearing this, Zhili sighed. This incident had just occurred while they were on a mission, so it seemed that this trip to the Land of Lightning was destined to be anything but smooth.

"I could have slept a little longer, but now I'm completely awake. Why did I have to choose this time in the morning?!"

Qu Feng patted Zhi Li's head and said, "Stop complaining, go out and see what kind of breakfast is available."

"Ok."

Chiri was clearly in a bad mood. After getting up and washing up, she went out with Tofu.

When I arrived at the shop, I met the owner and mentioned the matter of adding a room.

The owner readily agreed that there were still plenty of empty rooms and recommended the room next to where the two of them were currently staying, which would be much more convenient.

Takefu had no objections, and after paying, he and Zhili went out.

I thought there would be fewer people on the street, but I found that the whole street was almost the same as last night.

The main street was lined with stalls of all sizes.

"Goodness, so many people this early in the morning? Is the royal city really this bustling?"

Qu Feng stood at the shop entrance and sighed. At that moment, the owner also came out of the shop.

"You two must be from other villages, right? That's always been the case in the royal city."

Qu Feng didn't mind the shop owner's attempt to strike up a conversation, and instead went along with it, saying, "That's right, my brother and I came to the royal city to look for relatives, but we haven't found them yet."

The boss nodded: "I knew I was right. You were the ones who got robbed by that kid last night, weren't you?"

After listening to the wind, he scratched his head awkwardly and said, "It's a little embarrassing to say, but it really was us."
