Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

"Ah, it's that uncle from the other day! What can I do for you? Would you like something to eat?"

The Thousand Hands ninja shook his head and said, "No, the Hokage has something to discuss with you. If you've finished eating, come with us."

After hearing this, Yun Zhongqufeng had a rough idea of ​​why the Hokage had summoned him. Seeing that he had finished eating the meat on the grill, he paid the owner and prepared to follow the guard to the Hokage's office.

Seeing that the Hokage must have something important to discuss with Torifu, Chiri said, "Since the Hokage has summoned you, Torifu-kun, I won't disturb you any longer. Thank you for your hospitality today."

"Why don't you come with me? Haven't you admired the Hokage for a long time?"

Upon hearing this, Zhili's eyes lit up with excitement, her big, watery eyes fixed on the guard: "Really?"

The guard scratched his head, looking somewhat conflicted, and said, "I'm not so sure about that. Tobirama-sama said the Hokage only summoned Kumo no Torifusa."

Before Zhili could react, Qufeng said, "Just come with me, I'll take care of the rest."

Zhili wasn't a coy girl, and since Tokifu-kun had said so, there was no reason for her not to go, but she would have to owe Tokifu-kun a favor again.

She had long admired the Hokage and regarded him as her role model, but she rarely had the opportunity to meet him in person like today, and she did not want to give it up.

After hearing this, the guard stopped refusing. After all, the other party had said they could handle it, so they must have some confidence. If he continued to refuse, he would be making things difficult for them for no reason, and he wouldn't do anything that would offend people.

Now that everything was settled, the four of them left the barbecue restaurant and returned to the Hokage Building. Along the way, Yunzhong Qufeng did not appear restrained, but rather looked around in a relaxed manner.

Chiri seemed quite nervous, perhaps because it was her first time meeting her idol in person, fearing she might do something impolite that would leave a bad impression on the Hokage. In reality, she was worrying unnecessarily.

"You two go in. The Hokage and Tobirama are inside."

After speaking, the two Senju ninjas continued their guard duties, while Torifu and Jiri entered the Hokage's office.

"Haha, Qu Feng is here! It's been a month since we last saw each other, hasn't it?"

Hashirama laughed heartily, showing no airs of a Hokage whatsoever, but rather acting like a friendly neighborhood uncle.

"Good afternoon, Hokage-sama and Tobirama-sama. This is my friend. I have long admired you and have always regarded you as my idol."

The words "take the wind" made Zhili's face turn as red as a tomato, and he stammered as he spoke.

"Gentlemen, good afternoon."

"Yes, Uchiha Chiri! I know you, you're Kagami's sister."

Chiri thought the Hokage wouldn't recognize her, but she was surprised to be called by name so quickly, and she was very satisfied!

"Qu Feng, I called you here today mainly to ask you something."

"Sir, please speak."

Would you like to become my disciple?

This statement truly baffled Yunzhong Qufeng. Shouldn't it be the Second Hokage who should take him as a disciple? Why is it the First Hokage? If he remembered correctly, Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others were all disciples of the Second Hokage, Tobirama, though the two brothers taught them together.

Am I about to become Hashirama Senju's disciple directly? Isn't that a super seniority boost?

"Of course I'm willing!" Yun Zhongqufeng shouted!

Hilarious! This kind of opportunity only comes once in a lifetime! If you don't seize it, you'll regret it! Becoming a disciple of the second generation is certainly good, but it's still a little bit different from becoming Hashirama's disciple, just a tiny bit.

After Hashirama received the wind's agreement, he burst into laughter: "Hahaha! Good! From now on, you are my disciple, Hashirama Senju!"

Yun Zhongqufeng bowed deeply and said, "Master, please accept my bow."

Hashirama was moved, but on the surface he pretended to be indifferent and said, "There's no need for this between us, master and disciple."

Upon hearing this, Yun Zhongqufeng turned around and stood properly. This was not a pretense, but a genuine expression of respect. He would have done the same even if he had been accepted as a disciple by a second-generation master. This was a matter of respecting one's teacher and valuing the Way.

Chiri was so shocked by what she saw that she was speechless. She thought that the Hokage had summoned Tofu to inquire about today's practical lesson, but she did not expect that it was to take Tofu as his apprentice!

To be honest, she was incredibly envious at that moment! However, she wasn't jealous. In the academy, whether it was theory or practice, she always ranked first, and she was also the most popular in the class. She wasn't jealous that such an outstanding person was taken as a disciple by the Hokage.

Hashirama noticed the little girl with her head down next to Torifusa, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Chiri, you are Kagami's sister and a genius of the Uchiha clan. If you are willing, you can follow me to train, but whether you can become my disciple depends on your performance."

Chapter 14 Spraying Makes You Healthier

Upon hearing this, Zhili instantly cleared her mind of all distractions and uttered three words with the fastest speed she could muster: "I do!!!"

The sound was so loud! The speed so fast! Even Yun Zhongqufeng couldn't help but look on in surprise: 'This girl is really something! My ears are ringing.'

"Haha, good! From now on, you will all follow me in your cultivation."

"What about government affairs, brother?"

Hashirama Senju casually said, "Just leave it to the Wood Clone, and besides, we still have you, don't we?"

Tobirama stared at his elder brother with a dark expression on his face. He knew this would happen! His elder brother wasn't good at politics, but he would still handle some things normally. Now that he had taken on a disciple, he would probably push all the political affairs onto him.

Hashirama felt a little embarrassed by his younger brother's death stare, so he chose to change the subject directly: "Touken Ranbu, come to my house tonight. I'll have your mistress cook you something delicious, and we can also talk about your Crystal Release."

When Tofu heard that this meant he was going to get special training, he readily agreed. Although he had already developed some Crystal Release ninjutsu on his own, their power was limited and they were not effective in causing large-scale damage.

My master definitely has the authority on this matter, and with his help, things should be much easier for me.

Tobirama suddenly spoke up, "Starting tomorrow, you don't need to go to school anymore. You can train with me and my older brother, and get to know my disciples."

Torifu and Jiri agreed in unison, and then chatted for a while until a ninja came to report on the mission, at which point Torifu and Jiri left.

Walking on the streets of Konoha, Jiri still felt as if it were a dream, and it all seemed so unreal.

"If this is really a dream, I hope I don't wake up."

Tori was also amused by Chiri; this little girl really admires the Hokage.

Hearing Torifu's laughter, Chiri turned around, a little shyly: "Thank you so much, Torifu-kun. I really owe you a huge favor this time. I never expected that the Hokage would let me train with him!"

"This is just the beginning. If you work hard, becoming your master's disciple won't be difficult. After all, your talent is undeniable."

That's the truth. Chiri's talent far surpasses that of Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado. If she were to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan in the future, her potential would be even more unpredictable.

After hearing this, Chiri looked longingly at him. She was already very satisfied with her current situation, and it would be even better if she could become the Hokage's disciple!

"I will try my best!" Zhili said with great determination.

The two chatted casually on the street, both expressing high expectations for their future cultivation.

Rokufuchi began to think about the next step of his plan. He had already achieved his goal of becoming a disciple of the Hokage, and even exceeded it!

He became the First Hokage's disciple, which meant that no one in the village would have a higher status than him in the future! After all, he was the only true disciple of the Hokage right now!

As the disciple of the First Hokage, he would undoubtedly be one of the most influential elders in the future. However, Yunzhong Qufeng is not interested in power; his main goal is to live a peaceful and comfortable life and enjoy the good things in life.

However, now that he has become his master's apprentice, he has an obligation to protect the home that his master built with all his might.

"By the way, Lord Tokifumi, when is the sparring session we agreed on going to start?" Zhili asked impatiently, eager to know how much she was inferior to Lord Tokifumi.

"Anytime is fine, you decide."

After thinking for a moment, Zhili said, "You're going to the Hokage's house tonight, and we have to train during the day tomorrow, so let's do it tomorrow night!"

"Okay." Yun Zhongqufeng readily agreed. He hadn't used any of his strength in his previous battle with Uchiha Kyo; that idiot had completely killed himself.

Since killing the Cloud Village spy, in the past month, Toru has been constantly training in taijutsu and ninjutsu, and has also been relentlessly developing Cloud Release, so his strength has increased a lot.

His chakra level had long since reached Jonin level, but he lacked practical combat experience, which is why the system panel showed that he was only Chunin level.

Sparring with Chiri would also give him a general understanding of his current strength.

"Hehe, well then I'll head back to my tribe first. See you tomorrow!" Zhili waved goodbye with a bright smile.

"See you tomorrow."

Watching Zhili's figure gradually disappear into the distance, Yunzhong Qufeng also prepared to return home and begin his daily Cloud Escape training.

……

Uchiha clan.

"Have you seen your brother?" a hoarse, withered old voice asked.

"I saw it! He stole the forbidden drug! He's probably not going to survive. Who gave it to him?" A boy of about fifteen or sixteen years old asked, his eyes bloodshot, with three tomoe swirling in his pupils.

"Take it back! Shasha! Do you still want to attack me?" the old man roared.

Startled by the old man's shout, Uchiha Setsuna angrily withdrew his Sharingan, but still couldn't contain his anger and shouted, "He's only six years old! His future is limitless, how can he die like this!"

The old man sighed softly, "He stole the medicine himself. He thought it was just a medicine to enhance chakra, in order to defeat one of his classmates."

The old man's feelings were also complicated at this moment. After all, Uchiha Kyo was his grandson. Although he was not a genius, he was not comparable to those commoners. How could he be so reckless as to steal the medicine without even understanding its effects just to defeat a classmate?

Moreover, he not only lost the match but also lost his life! His clan also had to pay compensation for his intentional injury! Even as an elder of the Uchiha clan, he could not cover up such a disgrace.

"Which family are you from!"

The old man said sternly, "This matter ends here! Jing's situation is entirely his own fault! You must not cause any more trouble! Otherwise, our lineage will lose all prestige within the family!"

But Uchiha Setsuna completely disagreed. Uchiha Kyo was his younger brother and only brother, and he couldn't just die like that!

"If you won't tell me, I'll find out myself! I'll make him pay!" Uchiha Setsuna roared, then slammed the door and left.

This action enraged the old man so much that he spat out a mouthful of blood! His plan, which he had painstakingly worked on for several years, was about to be ruined by these two unlucky kids!

His only goal was to follow in Madara Uchiha's footsteps and restore the glory of the Uchiha clan. However, if the clan was repeatedly disgraced because of these two fools, his status as an elder might be stripped away!

"Why is my life so miserable!"

My son and daughter-in-law died, leaving behind two children who are not only not very talented, but also not very bright. I am the only old man who is almost buried in the ground to support this lineage. In my old age, I will have to ruin my reputation!

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he spat out another mouthful of blood!

Chapter 15: A Complete Passerby

At this moment, Toru was practicing Cloud Release ninjutsu at home, unaware that because of him, a poor old Uchiha man was spitting out blood.

He is currently at a critical stage. If he can overcome this, he will have mastered the Cloud Escape technique; otherwise, it will take much longer.

Qu Feng was surrounded by light blue energy. His eyes were closed and his expression was serious. Large beads of sweat slid down his temples.

Trying to fuse the three natures of chakra—water, fire, and wind—into one according to the method recorded in the scroll is by no means an easy task!

Equal amounts of water and fire chakra are evenly matched, but if wind-type chakra is added, the fire will be fueled and the water will be suppressed, making it impossible to achieve perfect fusion.

Although the scroll already had the proportions, in practice, it was found that it was impossible to succeed by following the proportions of the ancestors.

With a muffled thud, Qu Feng's face suddenly turned deathly pale.

"Failed again."
