Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

The Cloud Clan's territory is far from other major clans, but very close to the location of ordinary villagers.

I really like this lively atmosphere; it's so warm and welcoming.

After wandering around the streets for a while without finding anything I wanted to eat, I finally ended up at a barbecue restaurant.

I was warmly greeted by the waiter and entered the shop, only to find that Zhili was also there.

Qu Feng was a little confused. Zhi Li had been away from home for so many days. Shouldn't he be having a proper lunch with his family now?

Why did you come to a restaurant?

At this moment, Chiri was sitting in her and Toru's private room, seemingly lost in thought.

It took several calls from Qu Feng to bring her back to her senses.

"Oh, Qu Feng, what brings you here? Please have a seat."

As he spoke, Zhili ordered the waiter to bring out more than twenty plates of meat.

"And you're talking about me? Why don't you eat at home with your father and grandfather? Instead, you come to a restaurant."

Zhili looked helpless: "Ugh, don't even mention it. For some reason, my father insisted on cooking today, and the food he made was absolutely awful."

“My brother didn’t dare say anything, but I really couldn’t stand it, so I sneaked out when they weren’t looking.”

Qu Feng hadn't expected it to be this simple: "I thought it was because your father disagreed with the Miyajo clan joining Konoha and was angry with you."

“How could that be? You’re overthinking it. Before I told my father, he didn’t even know there was such a family as the Miyajo family.”

"Even after I understood it, I didn't feel anything was wrong, so there's no need to worry too much."

Hearing what Jiri said, Torifu felt relieved. Although Jiri had already spoken to her father, Torifu was still a little worried.

Now that it's confirmed the Uchiha clan doesn't harbor hostility towards the Miyagi clan, the Miyagi clan should be able to integrate into the village more quickly.

Soon, all the dishes were served, and the two chatted and grilled meat leisurely.

Chapter 163 Let's get married in the next two years!

Soon, all the dishes were served, and the two chatted and grilled meat leisurely.

"It's been a long time since I've seen Sister Xiaochun and the others."

When Zhili mentioned it, Qufeng suddenly realized that it had indeed been a long time since they had last met.

Since Tobirama took over, Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others have been promoted to positions such as guards and secretaries.

You can still see Kagami quite often, since he's always in the office helping Tobirama with some things.

But we really can't see Hiruzen and the others anymore. Maybe the guards are all hiding in the shadows?

The wind didn't quite understand either, and the group rarely went on missions together anymore.

However, this is also good, as he can make the choice whether to carry out the mission alone or with Chiri.

It also allows for more freedom.

Of course, there are advantages to having more people. When everyone is on a mission together, there are always endless topics to talk about, making the journey very pleasant.

"Anyway, we need to rest during this period, so let's see when they have time to get together."

Zhili agreed with the suggestion to seek wind, so the two began to discuss and plan a good time.

We ate and chatted, and time flew by.

They kept serving meat after they finished it, and even after many other diners had left, the two of them were still eating.

Finally, before they were too full to walk, they came up with a solution.

After paying the owner a full three thousand taels, Qu Feng and Zhi Li left the barbecue restaurant satisfied and went their separate ways to go home.

On his way home, Toki passed by the Kato family's house and discovered that Oyajo En was actually in the Kato family's yard.

Moreover, they were playing something together. Seeing this, Qu Feng didn't disturb them, and quickened his pace to leave.

It seems that Yuuya Shiro and Dan have become friends, and their friendship is heating up. If Tokifu disturbs them at this time, Dan's attention will be focused on Tokifu.

This friendship may simply end there.

Actually, after saying all this, what I really want to say is that I think children are too troublesome; they always call me "brother" the moment we meet.

It's great that he has someone his own age to play with.

After returning home, I comfortably lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

I haven't slept well these past few days due to all the running around, so I need to get some rest now.

In the Sarutobi clan's territory, Sarutobi Sasuke, who has lost all his hair, is chatting with Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Hiruzen, what do you think of this new family?"

Hiruzen thought for a moment, then said, "I haven't come into contact with them yet, but I've heard they're a family with ocular jutsu bloodline limits."

Sarutobi Sasuke nodded: "I just went to check on them, and I have to say it's really a sorry sight. Everyone looks pale and thin."

"However, his spirit and energy are quite good. I didn't see the special eyes that Tobirama-sama mentioned, so I guess they haven't been activated yet."

Hiruzen nodded. Although he had only glanced at the family from the shadows, he could clearly see that they were all very weak.

Even the most ordinary ninjas are physically stronger than them.

After hearing his master recount the ordeal his clan had endured, Hiruzen felt a pang of sympathy. Any clan would have faced immense hardship surviving in such circumstances.

"I believe this family has unlimited potential, so I took the lead and was the first to contact them. I think the Uchiha and Hyuga clans probably won't send anyone to make contact."

That makes perfect sense. Konoha only had two major families with eye techniques, and their status was irreplaceable. The Sharingan and Byakugan were incredibly precious in the entire ninja world.

Now a third family specializing in pupil techniques has arrived. Although their clan strength is relatively weak, they cannot pose any threat to the status of the two major families in the short term.

But the future is uncertain.

Especially for the Hyuga clan, after the passing of the clan's old patriarch, the Hyuga clan doesn't really have any particularly strong ninjas now.

Their strength was incomparable to that of the Uchiha clan. In addition, the family structure of the main family and branch family led to disunity among the clan members. The main family only cared about enjoying themselves, while the branch family members were treated like slaves and were ordered around.

If things don't change, decline is only a matter of time.

"I have to say, that kid Qu Feng is really lucky. He managed to find a bloodline family in such a remote corner."

Hiruzen laughed and said, "Yeah, when he came back to report, I was quite stunned listening from the shadows. I thought he made it up."

After Hiruzen finished speaking, Sarutobi Sasuke tapped him on the head: "You still have the nerve to say that? You can't even beat someone who's ten years younger than you. You're really a disgrace to your old man."

"This isn't my fault!" Hiruzen complained, clutching his head. "It's your fault for not having a bloodline limit. If you don't have one, your son naturally won't either, but he does!"

"Several times I was about to win, but his bloodline limit neutralized it, which was a pity."

"Hey! You can't beat them, so you're blaming your old man? I'm going to beat your butt so badly today!"

The father and son chased each other around the house, leaving the entire house in a mess, with books and scrolls scattered all over the floor.

When Hiruzen's mother, Sarutobi Miya, returned, she kicked the father and son out of the house and gave them a good scolding.

After Meiya calmed down, the father and son went into the house with smiles on their faces.

Upon seeing his mother sitting in the chair, Hiruzen immediately ran behind her to massage her shoulders.

It took the father and son taking turns to coax him for quite a while before they were finally able to calm him down.

Miya rubbed her temples to relieve her headache and said to Hiruzen, "You're such a grown-up, why are you still playing around like a child?"

Then she turned her gaze to Sasuke, who was gloating beside her: "And you! I mean, you're practically half-buried in the ground, how can you be so careless?"

Upon seeing that the flames of war had spread to him, Sarutobi Sasuke immediately stopped smiling and adopted a listening posture.

"He's always causing me so much worry."

Then, as if suddenly remembering something, she asked Hiruzen, "How are things between you and Biwako lately? You're quite busy every day, you haven't been neglecting her, have you?"

Hiruzen repeatedly denied this, saying, "We're doing great, how could it be like what you're saying! I go shopping and eat with her every day, you don't need to worry too much."

Finally, some good news: Miya still loves Lake Biwa. Although she comes from a commoner background, the Sarutobi clan doesn't care about that at all.

Most importantly, their relationship is very stable, and they haven't had many arguments over the years. It's always best to live a harmonious life.

“Very good, then you two should prepare for your wedding in the next two years. Your father and I have already prepared the betrothal gifts, and we are just waiting for the new bride to come to our home.”

Hiruzen was completely dumbfounded. Just a moment ago, the conversation was about shopping and eating, and everything was normal. How did it suddenly turn into a new bride entering the family?

Chapter 164: Neither Understanding Nor Respect

Hiruzen was completely dumbfounded. Just a moment ago, the conversation was about shopping and eating, and everything was normal. How did it suddenly turn into a new bride entering the family?

"No, no, this is too sudden!"

Seeing her son's disappointing state, Meiya angrily retorted, "Nothing! I didn't say you had to get married next year, I said within the next two years!"

When Hiruzen saw his mother getting angry, he immediately deflated and muttered under his breath, "Even in two years, I'll only be twenty-one. There's no rush to get married."

"Yes, yes, you're not in a hurry, but I'm afraid your dead father won't be able to get married in time for you."

Sasuke, who was watching the show from the sidelines, was suddenly brought up and was a little confused. He was just watching the show, how did the battle get to him?

Miya rolled her eyes at Sasuke and continued, "Your deadbeat dad is never home. Every time he comes back, he looks deathly pale. He must have been spying on some women's bathhouse!"

"At this rate, I'd be grateful if I could live another year or two. I advise you to learn how to manage the family as soon as possible, otherwise you'll be in a lot of trouble."

Goodness, this combo has left Sasuke dizzy and disoriented. He's in the prime of his life, and even though the wind blew away his last hair, he shouldn't be dying in the next two years, right?

Hiruzen realized that his mother was ostensibly urging him to get married quickly, but in reality, she was subtly mocking his father for sneaking peeks at the women's bathhouse every day and not coming home.

Hiruzen verbally condemned his father's actions, but his actions betrayed his true feelings.

Otherwise, Biwako wouldn't have caught them red-handed.

Seeing his mother's outburst, Hiruzen realized that if he wanted to peep into the women's bathhouse, he would have to do it in a more sophisticated way.

Ideally, it should be something I can see from my home.

In that case, you can enjoy the beauty of hot springs without even leaving home. Wouldn't that be wonderful!

As he thought about it, a lewd smile appeared on Hiruzen's face. Miya immediately knew that this kid was up to no good.

He slapped Hiruzen across the head!
