Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

He slapped Hiruzen so hard he couldn't distinguish between reality and imagination.

Sarutobi Sasuke responded, "Since you've already hit your son, then don't hit me."

But in the end, she couldn't escape the beating. It was already the limit for Meiya to endure it for so long. Today, she was going to teach these lecherous father and son a lesson.

The clansmen who had come to report on clan affairs overheard the lady reprimanding the clan chief and the young clan chief outside the door, and wisely left.

I can only feel sorry for the clan leader for two more seconds.

Hilarious! Anyone who dares to offend the lady during this time period will probably be dragged into the house and given a good beating.

Throughout the Sarutobi clan's territory, cries of agony echoed endlessly. To uphold the clan leader's authority, everyone tacitly pretended not to hear them and went about their own business.

About an hour later, the noise inside finally stopped. Meiya opened the door, picked up a small basket, and went out into the street.

Only the father and son, their faces bruised and swollen, were left in the mess inside.

They were initially discussing the Miyajo clan, weren't they? How did it turn out like this?

Looking at his bruised and swollen face in the mirror, Hiruzen thought to himself that Koharu would definitely laugh at him tomorrow, and how could he possibly go see Biwako looking like this?

We can only ask Xiaochun to help treat it.

However, after being beaten up like that, Hiruzen's resolve only grew stronger! He had to find a way to spy on people in the bathhouse without being discovered!

Unlike his son, Sasuke, who was full of fighting spirit, looked worried. This woman was too ruthless, always aiming for his face.

How am I going to face anyone tomorrow? He has a tea appointment with Miyajo Tsuki tomorrow. Sigh.

It seems the only option is to seek treatment from Lord Mito.

By putting on a hood resembling that of a kidnapper and changing into ordinary clothes, a person's entire demeanor instantly changes.

Taking advantage of the fact that there weren't many people in the clan's territory, he ran out in a few steps.

Hiruzen was left standing there, bewildered: "This old man is way too skilled!"

From this smooth and skillful technique, you can tell how many times Dad has been beaten by Mom.

However, Hiruzen didn't care about all that and was focused on his grand plan, a plan that would allow him to stay away from violence forever!

Sasuke had already nimbly moved to the gate of the Senju clan, his agility so great that he was almost undetected.

Even if someone discovers it, they only see a fleeting afterimage and have no way of knowing who it is.

"I am Sarutobi Sasuke, and I have something to ask of Lord Hashirama."

After showing the token to the Senju clansman guarding the gate, the ninja reluctantly allowed Sasuke to enter.

He clearly didn't understand why the Sarutobi clan leader would come to see him dressed like that.

He easily found his way to the door of the pillar and knocked.

When Hashirama opened the door, he saw Sasuke looking like a ruthless bandit and was stunned for a second or two.

Although she quickly regained her senses, her expression was still somewhat stiff, and she forced a smile: "Sasuke... come in quickly."

Who can understand the feeling of someone who has just woken up from a nap opening their door to find a ruthless bandit standing in front of their house?

Judging from Hashirama's reaction speed, this wasn't the first time Sasuke had done this.

"Miya really goes all out."

Sasuke waved his hand: "It's alright. The main thing is that I made her angry. I would feel bad if I didn't get a beating. This makes me feel much better."

In response to Sasuke's outrageous statement, Hashirama said that everyone has their own unique quirks, and although he didn't understand them, he didn't respect them either.

After the two entered the house, Sasuke did not remove his hood, mainly because he was afraid of scaring Hashirama and Mito. He would continue the treatment with the hood on, so that everyone would be fine.

"You went to the Oya Castle Clan at noon, right? How did it go?"

In response to Hashirama's question, Sasuke replied truthfully, "Clan head Miyajo Tsuki is a polite and humble person, and it is quite pleasant to talk to him."

"However, the family's strength is too weak, and it is unknown when it will be able to recover."

Hashirama nodded after hearing this: "That's right. I didn't expect you to be the first to befriend Oya Castle. I thought it would be the Ino-Shika-Cho trio."

Sasuke chuckled and said, "Shika is too cautious. He won't be the one to stick his neck out. After all, it was Lord Hashirama who brought him back personally. I don't think anything will happen, so he just took the money with him."

"Haha, Lu Yuan's thinking is different from ours. After all, he is advising three families, so it's normal for him to be cautious."

The two chatted for a while and eventually ended up in the living room.

Mito was playing a game with Tsunade, making Tsunade laugh non-stop.

Upon seeing this 'bandit' enter the house, there was no particular reaction; the only thing to do was to blindfold Tsunade, lest she be frightened.

Chapter 165 Mysterious Place

Upon seeing this 'bandit' enter the house, there was no particular reaction; the only thing to do was to blindfold Tsunade, lest she be frightened.

"Lord Mito, I'm here again. This is really troublesome."

Mito waved her hand: "It's alright, I guess you've made Miya angry again."

Sasuke scratched his head and said, "Hehe, yeah, they beat me and my son up together."

Upon hearing this, Mito shook her head and gestured for Sasuke to sit down on the stool.

Mito placed her hands on either side of Sasuke's head and cast a healing jutsu, her hands emitting a green glow.

Sasuke could also clearly feel that the pain on his face was gradually lessening.

It's a pity that the Sarutobi clan doesn't have any ninjas who know medical ninjutsu, otherwise we wouldn't have had to go to so much trouble to trouble Lady Mito.

After a while, Mito stopped the healing jutsu, and Sasuke's injuries were completely healed.

Only then did he take off his hood and put it in his pocket.

"The Hyuga and Uchiha clans probably won't be on good terms with Miyajo, since they don't interact with each other in private. Now that a third family with dojutsu has appeared, it's bound to be the same."

"As for the other families, you should spend more time among them to help Miya Castle integrate into Konoha more quickly."

Sasuke naturally agreed to Hashirama's request, since the Sarutobi clan was well-liked in the village and had connections with both small and large clans.

The Ino-Shika-Cho trio had already formed an alliance with the Sarutobi clan during the Warring States period, and the three clans eventually decided on a successor.

The earrings will be distributed by ninjas of the Sarutobi clan as a testament to the eternal mutual support among the three clans.

Without a solid foundation of trust, the Ino-Shika-Cho trio would never have allowed the Sarutobi clan to act as witnesses.

"Don't worry, Lord Hashirama, I will do my best."

Hashirama patted Sasuke on the shoulder. As the first clan to join Konoha after the village's founding, Hashirama had considerable trust in Sasuke.

Then, he suddenly asked again, "How is the Four-Tails? Did you use it?"

The tailed beasts have been distributed for a long time, and apart from the Nine-Tails inside Mito, this is the first time Hashirama has done a follow-up visit.

"Of course, the power of the Four-Tails is very strong, and it also allows me to use Lava Release, but unfortunately it can only be used in the Tailed Beast form."

"It's already very good. Think back to that feeling and the chakra manipulation more often. Maybe you can develop Lava Release."

Seeing that Lord Hashirama thought so highly of him, Sasuke could only smile and remain silent. To be honest, for a middle-aged ninja like him, he had already reached the pinnacle of his life.

Although he occasionally gets a beating, his family is still very harmonious, and his wife is very virtuous, although she has a bad temper.

He was also the head of a clan, and his son was very promising, serving as a disciple and bodyguard of the Second Hokage.

Even if their strength improves further, there's not much room for further progress; they've already reached the pinnacle that an ordinary ninja can achieve.

Therefore, he didn't need to train in Lava Release. Sasuke even planned to pass the Four-Tails to his son after a while.

After all, his son is very skilled in ninjutsu, so developing a Lava Release technique shouldn't be difficult for him.

I certainly can't refuse Hashirama-sama's offer right now, so I'll wait a few months before bringing it up again.

After his injuries were healed, Sasuke chatted with Hashirama for a long time in the living room, while Mito listened without interrupting.

Every now and then, he would peel an apple and hand it to Hashirama. The couple had such a great understanding, which made Sasuke feel a pang of sadness.

"Lord Hashirama, Lord Mito, I still have some matters to attend to within the clan, so I'll head back now."

Upon hearing this, Hashirama didn't linger any longer. He got up, saw Sasuke to the door, and then turned and went back inside.

I chatted with Sasuke for a long time, and now it's almost time for dinner.

Turning his head, he saw Tsunade standing beside him, looking at the yard, seemingly wanting to go out and play.

Unable to refuse his granddaughter, Hashirama let Tsunade ride on his shoulders and they played wildly in the yard for a while.

They didn't go back until Mito called them to eat.

When Toki woke up, he felt dizzy and disoriented. He dreamt that he was still on a mission in the Land of Lightning, but when he woke up, he found himself at home.

This feeling made him sit on the bed in a daze for more than a minute before he came to his senses.

Fortunately, I had just taken a nap and was in pretty good spirits. I was too lazy to go out to buy food, so I just grabbed some snacks from my ring to tide me over.

When they went outside, they found that Qingyun and Liufeng were not there. They asked Abai and learned that they had gone to cultivate.

Toki felt somewhat ashamed about this; even the summoned beasts were working so hard, while he was still just slacking off.

I'm afraid that by then Qingyun and Liufeng will have become immortals, while I'll only be getting started or not even starting at all.

Thinking of this, Qu Feng felt very embarrassed and immediately ran to the woods in the backyard to try to cultivate.

I practiced for an hour and could barely sense the power of nature, but overall there was no progress.

It was getting dark, and visibility in the woods was already very low.

There's no other way but to continue cultivating tomorrow. I'll take advantage of this free time to quickly master the immortal techniques.

The Hidden Cloud Village has never given up on its desire to wage war and has always been eager to do so. Who knows when this sage technique might come in handy.

However, when Qu Feng first arrived, he took a stroll in the woods but did not see Qing Yun and Liu Feng.

They wouldn't lie to Ah Bai; perhaps they've found a more suitable place to cultivate.

I'll ask around later. If it's nearby, I can consider going with them tomorrow.

Sure enough, when Qu Feng returned to the front yard, Qing Yun and Liu Feng had also returned home.

As soon as they landed, they started being affectionate with Ah Bai, like children who never grow up.

"Qingyun and Liufeng, where have you two gone? Have you left the village again?"
