Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

The two baskets full of food and clothing left Qu Feng speechless.

The teacher's wife is really well-prepared; she's practically brought the whole family along.

But Qu Feng only complained inwardly, and on the surface he still said sensibly, "Don't worry, Master's wife, I'll take care of all of this."

Then, with a wave of his hand, he stored everything into the spatial ring that allowed him to draw air.

Although the ring was already filled with many things, there was still plenty of space; this amount of stuff could be easily placed inside.

Mito was always tempted by Tokifu's 'ninjutsu', but unfortunately, Tokifu was created by accident and could not be replicated.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have to end her shopping trip so hastily because she couldn't fit everything in her bags.

Every time Mito goes to town, she feels like she could buy up half the street; I suppose that's just a woman's nature.

Chapter 157 Mysterious Organization

Every time Mito goes to town, she feels like she could buy up half the street; I suppose that's just a woman's nature.

Even a woman of Mito's high status couldn't escape the curse of shopping sprees.

After a simple meal, Torifu bid farewell to Hashirama and Mito. Hashirama then told Torifu the meeting place for the afternoon and asked him and Jiri to arrive on time.

After leaving the Senju clan's territory, Tofu was at a loss for what to do next.

He woke up a little too early today, so much so that the system hasn't notified him yet of his check-in for the day.

It's more than an hour earlier than usual.

No wonder Hashirama was angry. He had only slept for a few hours when he was woken up. Anyone would be angry in his situation.

There weren't many people on the street, and only a few shops were open, so I decided to go home after getting some fresh air.

He planned to see what Kakuzu had been up to lately, and he could keep track of his movements through the puppet left on him.

By this time, Jiao should have already regained consciousness.

Sure enough, when Touko focused his thoughts on the Sharingan puppet, he found Kakuzu leisurely eating breakfast.

We were unfamiliar with the surrounding environment and couldn't determine the exact angle.

"How have you been lately? Is everything going smoothly with what I asked you to do?"

Suddenly hearing the sound of wind, Kakuzu spat out the porridge he had just drunk.

Just as I was about to ask who was causing the trouble, I remembered that it was the sound of Qu Feng.

Only then did he calm down.

"Chief, could you please give us advance notice next time? Making a sudden noise like this is terrifying."

Qu Feng found it somewhat amusing and teased, "What are you afraid of? Don't you have five lives? Dying once won't matter."

Kakuzu was speechless and too lazy to argue with Torifu.

He then reported the recent situation to Torufu: "I recently heard news about several children who possess bloodline limits, but by the time I arrived, they had all been taken away."

"It is certain that besides us, there are others searching for bloodline limit holders, but they want the holders themselves, while we only need the blood."

Upon hearing this, Qu Feng's face became somewhat solemn. He had no clue about the organization that Kakuzu had mentioned, which was searching for bloodline limit holders.

However, this organization has already clashed with us, so we need to be careful.

Ultimately, the problem stemmed from the fact that there were too few people in the organization. With only Kakuzu running around, the efficiency was quite low.

It would be better to recruit more people, but the current situation in the ninja world is relatively stable, making it difficult to find suitable candidates.

Aside from forcibly taking people from other villages or luring them away, it all comes down to luck.

"There's also some news about the children you mentioned who are bright and good at making gadgets, and I'm planning to go check them out."

After listening to the wind, he nodded. He was quite satisfied with Kakuzu's attitude in carrying out the mission; he was a diligent and honest person.

If they remain loyal, they will surely become a pillar of the organization in the future.

"How are things going financially? Is there a shortage of funds?"

Tofu was quite concerned about this, since once the wealth plundered from the elders of Takigakure Village was exhausted, he would have to pay for the organization's operation himself.

If there's any profit to be made, this money isn't much.

The worst thing is to spend money and get nothing in return, which would be very frustrating.

"You can rest assured about that. I'm quite adept at financial management, and my finances hardly consume anything; in fact, they even grow."

This is good news; it's unexpected that the young Kakuzu is already so good at managing money.

Now we don't have to worry about funding anymore.

After all, Kakuzu managed all of Akatsuki's money. Later on, Konan was able to spend a fortune to set up 900 billion explosive tags, which must have been closely related to Kakuzu's financial management skills.

"That's good, as long as there are no problems with funding. Which country are you currently in?"

"In the Land of Earth, according to previous information, there are several children there who seem to meet your requirements."

"In that case, proceed as usual, according to your plan."

Kakuzu nodded. Although life was a bit busier now, it was more free. The leader wouldn't restrict him or point fingers at him.

It's much better than when we were in Takigakure.

After explaining a few more things, Qu Feng's thoughts returned to his main body.

I glanced at the time and realized that only about ten minutes had passed when the system notification sounded.

Bored out of his mind, Qu Feng decided to take a nap, ostensibly to recharge.

When I woke up, it was already around ten o'clock. Sure enough, sleeping is the best way to kill time.

Qu Feng got out of bed and went to the courtyard, but did not see Qingyun and Liufeng.

I asked Ah Bai and learned that they had gone to the backyard to cultivate.

Qu Feng hadn't expected the summoned beast to work so hard, but he had anticipated that Qu Feng would slack off so much.

However, even so, we can't be too lazy. It's not like the spirit beasts have all cultivated immortal arts, while their master can't even control the wind.

That sounds rather embarrassing.

Therefore, Qu Feng plans to start cultivating immortal techniques after everything is settled during this period.

With his talent for harnessing wind, his cultivation will not be too slow.

Time flies, and before they knew it, it was time to gather in the afternoon. Both Tori and Jiri arrived at the location requested by Hashirama on time.

Not long after, Hashirama arrived.

"Children, have you packed everything?"

Hashirama wore his battle-ready red armor, exuding an imposing aura. This armor wasn't something he wore on just any occasion.

Hashirama clearly takes this operation very seriously.

"Don't worry, Master, it's almost filled half a street."

Zhili then asked, "Shall we ride the Azure Clouds and Flowing Winds to the Land of Thunder, or shall we run there?"

This is indeed a very important question. There are three people in the group, but only two cranes.

Although Qingyun and Liufeng are very large, it would be a great burden for two people to ride on them.

At this moment, Hashirama spoke up: "No need to think about it. You can just ride the crane. I can catch up with you even if I run."

Qu Feng looked at Zhi Li, and Zhi Li looked at Qu Feng. Neither of them had a better solution, so they had no choice but to leave it at that.

When it's time to rest, you can take turns getting wind and standing by the pillars.

"Alright, since there's nothing else, let's set off as soon as possible and not waste any more time."

Hashirama crossed his arms over his chest, looking very energetic, seemingly very happy about joining the new family of Konoha Village.

Toru was also in a good mood about this. His master's acceptance of the Miyajo clan meant that his choice was correct and that letting Miyajo join Konoha was the right decision.

Chapter 158 Heaven Will Destroy My Clan

Toru was also in a good mood about this. His master's acceptance of the Miyajo clan meant that his choice was correct and that letting Miyajo join Konoha was the right decision.

And so, the three left Konoha Village and embarked on their journey to the Land of Lightning. Because Hashirama did not want to draw too much attention, the three of them traveled from the back of the mountain.

Hashirama runs on the ground, while Toki and Haruto ride cranes in the sky.

Since a day had already been wasted, Hashirama suggested speeding up their journey.

The three of them arrived at the Land of Lightning in just two days.

The journey was relatively smooth without any unexpected incidents.

"How long will it take to get to Hell Valley?"

This wasn't Hashirama's first time in the Land of Lightning, but he had never actually been to the so-called Hell Valley. He just hoped it wasn't too far away, otherwise the Miya Castle clan would be getting impatient.

"Don't worry, Master, we'll reach Hell Valley in less than half a day."

Upon hearing this, Hashirama said, "Then let's hurry up and try to reach Hell Valley before sunset."

After Hashirama finished speaking, he sped off. Seeing this, Torifu and Jiri also increased their speed and followed Hashirama's pace.

In order to communicate with Hashirama, Toru kept Aoandon and Ryuka flying at low altitudes.

Upon arriving in the Land of Lightning, he immediately dispelled the summoning jutsu, as he wanted to avoid drawing too much attention in another country.

This current speed is enough to keep up with Hashirama's pace without expending too much energy, which seems to be something Hashirama did intentionally.

Just as the sun began to set, the three finally arrived at Hell Valley.

This was also Hashirama's first time in this place, and he couldn't help but frown as he observed the environment along the way.

How can humans survive in such an environment?

But upon arriving at his destination, he realized that he had underestimated this Hell Valley.

For miles around, almost nothing grows; all that remains are scarlet rocks and dust, along with many unidentified animal bones.

Led by Toki, the three arrived at the entrance to Hell Valley. Hashirama looked at the narrow opening that only allowed half of himself to pass through and fell into deep thought.
