Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

The three had exchanged the secret code and confirmed each other's identities.

Seeing that Tobirama and his companion seemed rather short, the man said, "Lord Tobirama only sent the two of you? Is there no one else?"

Torikazuchi knew he was being underestimated, but he didn't say anything.

"It's just the two of us. Where's your intelligence?"

After a brief hesitation, the man pulled a letter from his clothes: "This letter is of great importance; Lord Tobirama must open it personally!"

Upon hearing this, Qu Feng withdrew his hand, which was about to open the letter, and put it into his spatial ring.

"Don't worry, we'll deliver this letter to Lord Tobirama. How are you? Have you been suspected?"

The man shook his head: "No, the Second Raikage trusts me quite a bit, so I get more information. I've always been very cautious and won't act rashly."

Toruka also expressed his great admiration for this, saying that a spy must have put in a lot of effort to gain the Raikage's trust.

"How is Konoha Village? What about the First Hokage? Is he alright?"

"Don't worry, everything is fine. Remember, the village has not abandoned you. Konoha Village is your eternal home."

The man was moved, and tears welled up in his eyes. He hadn't been back to the village for a long time.

Everything in the village must have changed drastically by now. When I heard that the first lord had stepped down, I was caught off guard by the lack of information.

This caused him great anxiety, and then there were messages saying that the First Lord had passed away, which made him even more panicked.

Now that he has learned about the village, his condition has recovered to about 80%, and he can continue to carry out his mission for another two or three years.

Chapter 147 Little Boy

Now that he has learned about the village, his condition has recovered to about 80%, and he can continue to carry out missions for another two or three years.

"If you ever feel tired, just apply to the village, and we will get you out of here safely and back to the village as soon as possible."

With this statement from Qu Feng, the man felt even more motivated: "As long as I'm still in Yunyin, all their information will be transparent."

It was getting late, and he couldn't stay away from Kumogakure for too long, so it was time to say goodbye.

The man hugged Torifu and Jiri respectively, and the three of them exchanged words of encouragement. Then he turned and left, disappearing into the vast dense forest.

The two originally planned to set off directly back to the village under the cover of night, but the already complicated terrain, coupled with the darkness of night, made it difficult.

The two of them couldn't tell which way was which.

So they could only rest there for one night and set off again early the next morning.

Qu Feng brought out a small tent so that they could be more comfortable camping in the wild, instead of having to use the sky as their blanket and the ground as their bed.

"Judging from what that person said, he must have been here for three or four years. He works so diligently every day, afraid of revealing any flaws. He must be really working hard."

Qu Fengwen agreed, saying, "They generally don't have families and may live their whole lives alone. You could say they've dedicated their lives to the village."

They could have easily rebelled against the village and continued to pretend.

Perhaps the development will be even better than working hard for the village.

But no one chose to do so, which may be due to their sense of conviction.

Although they are thousands of miles away from the village, their hearts are always with the village.

"If war really does break out, we must bring him back to the village safely first."

Chiri nodded heavily: "Definitely! But I still hope that war will not break out."

The word "war" sounds easy; it can be said with a few words.

But real wars are fought with blood, and Zhili didn't want to see the villagers bleed.

So if a war really breaks out, the only thing that can happen is for the people of Kumogakure to shed blood!

The next morning, a thin layer of dew had gathered outside the tent, and the air in the forest was very fresh.

Takafumi and Chiri woke up at almost the same time. The tent was small, and the two of them slept together all night.

Qu Feng was the first to open the tent door, and a wave of dampness rushed out, mixed with the fresh scent of earth.

Just then, Qu Feng faintly heard the sound of arguing, seemingly coming from in front of him.

Curiosity drove him to tiptoe forward, wanting to see who was arguing in the woods so early in the morning.

He quickly determined the direction after quietly parting the branches of a bush.

Toru saw a five or six-year-old boy being surrounded by ninjas from Kumogakure.

The boy had his head down, clutching half of an unknown plant in his hand.

Among the ninjas surrounding him, the leader ninja relentlessly belittled him and occasionally shoved him.

They didn't seem particularly friendly at all; they were probably being bullied or something.

"Little thing, I've finally caught you!"

The leading ninja became increasingly agitated as he spoke: "If we weren't faster than you, you might have really gotten away!"

"What are you holding in your hand! Let me see!"

The leading ninja reached out to take the herbs from the child's hand, but the boy seemed determined to fight him to the end, not only refusing to give them away but also pulling his hand away from the leading ninja's.

"Why should you take our things?"

His eyes were fixed on the leader, without a trace of fear, neither humble nor arrogant.

But the ninja immediately lost face upon hearing this, his face turning bright red.

"You little brat! You want to die? Kneel down and apologize right now, and I might consider only keeping your arm."

The other ninjas joined in the commotion, forcing the child to kneel and apologize.

Seeing this scene, I felt extremely sorry for them; these ninjas really had no moral bottom line.

Where is the demeanor of a ninja? They are like a gang of bandits, forcing a child who is only five or six years old.

The oldest among them was nearly thirty years old, yet he was still able to do such a shameless thing.

It seems that the ninjas of Kumogakure are just scum.

However, the more he looked at the child, the more familiar he felt, as if he had seen him somewhere before.

As he was thinking this, a figure in his mind merged with the child in front of him.

"Oh! He's that petty thief! What's he doing here?"

Suddenly it dawned on him: wasn't this kid the petty thief who snatched Jiri's wallet that day? He disappeared for two days just to come to the mountains of Kumogakure to gather herbs?

The ninja was unaware of the details, but Qu Feng knew that the child was holding a relatively rare herb, primarily used to treat excessive inhalation of miasma.

This medicine is relatively rare even in large pharmacies. I don't know if the child dug it up to sell for money or to treat his illness.

However, it is known that these ninjas were not making things difficult for the child for money; they were simply trying to disgust him.

"I suspect you stole an important flower cultivated in our Hidden Cloud Village! Stop resisting and come back with us for investigation!"

The ninja leader's righteous words almost made Toru Kaze burst out laughing.

You don't even know what kind of plant it is before you accuse it of stealing important flowers. How dare you!

"You've gone too far! It's not some important flower! It's a medicinal herb! I used it to save people!"

The little boy was furious at the absurd remarks made by the group of ninjas.

This surprised Qu Feng greatly. Logically speaking, a six-year-old boy would definitely cry loudly in the face of such an oppressive scene.

But he actually wanted to resist, which showed some backbone.

"Oh, this stuff is herbs? Then I definitely can't give it to you. You're just a little kid trying to save someone? You'd be lucky if you ate someone to death."

The leader snatched the herbs from the boy's hand, then slapped his cheeks with the herbs, saying with a smile.

"You should thank me, I'm doing this to prevent you from becoming a murderer, hahaha..."

The little boy trembled with anger from the repeated insults, but he was helpless, as the difference in strength was too great.

This gap cannot be bridged by anger; one can only passively endure his insults and ridicule, hoping they will leave soon.

Perhaps we can find another herb before the dew dries, so that the tribesmen can feel a little better this month.

With this thought in mind, the little boy became resolute and remained unmoved despite their insults.

The ninja leader, finding it boring, shoved the boy a few times. Seeing that the boy still didn't react, he suddenly raised his hand and slapped the boy hard across the face!

Chapter 148 The Uchiha are our enemies!

The ninja leader, finding it boring, shoved the boy a few times. Seeing that the boy still didn't react, he suddenly raised his hand and slapped the boy hard across the face!

For a child who is only about six years old, a slap from the ninja leader could cause serious harm.

But the boy did not feel fear; Qu Feng even saw a hint of relief on his face.

Just as the slap was about to land on the boy's face, a crystal spike shot out from the ground! It pierced straight through the ninja leader.

One second he had a twisted smile on his face, the next he looked in disbelief as the crystal spikes beneath his feet pierced through his body.

Unable to speak, he died on the spot.

The surrounding ninjas were stunned to see their captain die like that.

But after a moment they came to their senses and scattered in all directions with expressions of terror on their faces!

Just as they opened their mouths to shout "Enemy attack!", they discovered a circle of white light appearing beneath their feet.

The next second, it was firmly encased in crystal, and its life was frozen at that moment.

The boy was splattered with the ninja leader's blood, but he didn't seem panicked.

Instead, he glanced mockingly at the leader who had already lost all signs of life, and said nothing more.

With a snap of his fingers, all the crystals shattered, disappearing into the world along with the ninjas they contained.

After everything was over, Qu Feng emerged from behind the bushes.

"Hey, we meet again."

The boy turned and glanced at Qu Feng, then lowered his head again: "Who are you? I don't know you, but thank you for saving me anyway."
