Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

Qingyun and Liufeng are both veteran actors, and they didn't do anything after hearing about Qufeng's telepathic connection.

He acted as if nothing was wrong, continuing to eat and drink as usual.

Unfortunately, Qu Feng forgot to scatter some crystal seeds into the forest while in mid-air.

Otherwise, we wouldn't be in such a passive position.

After calming himself down, Qu Feng began to cultivate, since this was the main purpose and he couldn't let the trip be in vain just because someone was watching him.

Interestingly, Qu Feng discovered that the natural energy at this time was even higher than before.

This feeling lasted for more than an hour before it finally began to subside, along with the extra surge of natural energy.

A somewhat outlandish thought popped into his head: 'Could this natural energy be related to the ninja watching him?'

Once the feeling of being watched completely disappeared, Qu Feng exhaled a small cloud of mist, which transformed into tiny little girls, and directed them to disperse into the forest.

Find and track people nearby.

About twenty minutes later, just as Tofu was beginning to doubt whether he had really misjudged the situation, the first cloud bird spotted a ninja and followed him very carefully.

After connecting the field of vision with the wind, he looked for a long time but still couldn't recognize who it was, so he could only let the cloud bird continue to follow.

Half an hour later, a place resembling a village appeared before Qu Feng's eyes, which completely baffled him.

Did we find the lair of a primitive tribe after all this time?

But he doesn't look like one, and everyone in the village looks like a ninja.

Fortunately, there weren't many people, only about a hundred, which wasn't much different from the Miya Castle clan.

But just as Qu Feng was about to control the cloud bird to investigate more information, a hand suddenly scattered the well-hidden cloud bird.

The ninja being followed was completely bewildered and had no idea what was going on.

Meanwhile, the situation was rather complicated for Qu Feng. It was clear that they had been discovered, and judging from the last image left by that person, they were definitely not from the Fire Country clan.

The clothing and village style are also different from those of Muye Village.

Everyone was wearing a light blue jacket, but no one wore a headband, making it impossible to tell which country they were from.

"Qingyun, Liufeng, get ready, there may be a battle."

Qingyun and Liufeng, who were cultivating, suddenly opened their eyes. Although they didn't move their bodies, Qufeng knew that they had already assumed a fighting stance.

Now that the other party has discovered the surveillance, they will not give up so easily.

Moreover, Qu Feng was alone, which made him even easier to deal with.

Sure enough, not long after, a water arrow shot out from the forest.

However, this move doesn't seem to be aimed at attacking the wind, but rather a test.

Qu Feng didn't even try to dodge; the water arrow flew past his ear and landed in the lake behind him with a loud bang.

Countless fish and shrimp in the lake perished as a result.

"How did you find us?"

A clear voice came from the forest.

"You've driven us to this point and you still won't give up!"

Qu Feng was completely stunned after hearing these remarks.

What is all this nonsense? Why does it make him sound like the one who's chasing him?

However, Qu Feng is not a good-tempered person. Not only did he monitor him, but now he has also taken direct action, so he can be regarded as an enemy.

"I don't understand what you're saying. I was just visiting this lake. You attacked first."

As soon as Qu Feng finished speaking, a tall man with long, flowing hair emerged from the forest.

Judging from his age, he should be about the same age as Hiruzen Sarutobi, but much taller and stronger.

"You seem quite capable at such a young age. Leave here immediately and don't bother us again, then I'll spare your life."

Even Qu Feng, with his fiery temper, was starting to lose his temper; this guy, on the other hand, was quite outgoing.

To directly claim a piece of land within the Land of Fire's territory and not allow others to come—what kind of logic is that?

"This is the land of the Land of Fire. Just because you say I can't come doesn't mean I can't come."

To everyone's surprise, the man smiled and said, "Then I can only make sure you can't come back."

Then he rushed forward in a flash! He stretched out his right hand to grab Qu Feng's throat, but just as he was about to touch him, Qu Feng turned into a cloud of mist and dissipated.

The man's momentum was unstoppable, and he snapped into a large tree, breaking the trunk, which was about the thickness of a bowl, in two.

Seeing this, Qu Feng frowned deeply; this guy was quite strong.

I really don't know who this person is. Their brute force alone is already so great. It really piqued my interest.

The clouds condensed in the distance around the man, forming the figure of Qu Feng. Then, the remaining clouds were condensed by Qu Feng into a cloud sword.

With a flick of his finger, the cloud sword flew out and shot towards the man.

The man tried to defend himself, but the cloud sword pierced through his hands and entered his body.

He suddenly felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and his breath seemed to be filled with ice shards, which made his lungs ache.

However, he could still hold on, patted his chest a few times, and then went to attack the wind again.

"Water Release: Water Thorns!" Seeing that he couldn't catch the wind, the man stood on the lake and used a ninjutsu.

He had the advantage of the entire lake to use his ninjutsu.

As soon as he finished speaking, the water surface began to tremble violently, and huge thorny vines emerged from the water.

Each vine was as thick as a bowl, and by this time there were countless thorny vines on the water's surface, intertwining and twisting as they swirled towards Qu Feng.

"Kid, remember my name, Yi no Kyouja! In your next life, you'd better stay away from me! Hahahaha."

Chapter 168: Fight on the Lake

"Kid, remember my name, Yi no Kyouja! In your next life, you'd better stay away from me! Hahahaha."

Meanwhile, the thorny vines on the water's surface were now countless, intertwined and twisting as they swirled towards Qu Feng.

Seeing this, Qu Feng did not panic. He gently waved his left hand, and a pale blue halo spread out from beneath his feet.

Wherever it went, it froze everything in its path. The water thorns were instantly frozen, collapsed, and shattered after being affected by the halo.

But the halo didn't stop; it continued until the entire lake was frozen solid before it dissipated.

The Traveler looked at the little boy in disbelief. How powerful must one be to freeze a lake in an instant?

"Ice Release? That's someone from the Mizuki clan of Kirigakure! Damn it! When did the Mizuki clan produce such a genius?"

The traveler thought that the wind was a pursuer, and after seeing the ice escape technique, he assumed that the wind was a member of the Mizuki clan.

The distance to obtain the wind was too far, and no one heard the murmurs of the traveler.

While keeping a close eye on the actions of the En no Gyōja, he also recalled the plot of Naruto.

There's nothing special about it; it just feels somewhat familiar.

The Traveler is skilled in water escape techniques, but the large lake that would have been advantageous to him is now frozen over, so he doesn't dare to make another risky move.

His arrogance just now was merely because he thought that Qu Feng was an enemy scouting ahead.

Now that we know the strength of the Wind-Taking Technique, we must be serious and not act rashly.

The Traveler with flowing long hair and a greyish-white robe stood on the ice, his posture somewhat similar to that of the Wind Chaser.

The two remained locked in a stalemate for a long time. Seeing that Qu Feng was not making any moves, Yi Zhi Xing Zhe took the initiative to make his move.

His aura solidified instantly! Then he began to channel his energy into his hands, and a powerful shockwave erupted from his body!

In an instant! The solid ice on the lake was shattered into pieces and melted away in the chase.

The calm lake waters became turbulent, with waves rising everywhere, but the traveler stood steadily in the lake, letting the water splash and wet his robes.

The giant wave generated by the shockwave is now hurtling towards Qufeng!

The waves were already four or five meters high; if someone were swept into the lake, they would definitely suffer.

But Qu Feng didn't seem to want to dodge. With a light leap, he landed steadily on Qingyun's back and flew into the air.

Huge waves crashed against the shore, uprooting thick trees with the force of the water and shockwaves! The ground was also cracked.

This move is definitely at the level of an S-rank ninjutsu.

"This guy is pretty strong, isn't he? He can take the wind."

"Did you feel any natural energy emanating from him? I always felt that the strangeness of this place might be related to him."

Before Qingyun could reply, Liufeng said, "The surrounding natural energy is all converging on his back; this place was created by him."

Since even Liu Feng said so, then the feeling of sensing the wind must be correct. I originally thought that my cultivation was not up to par and I was sensing it wrong.

So it seems that the traveler in this battle is no ordinary person.

"Qingyun, Liufeng, go and meet him."

After saying that, Qu Feng transformed into a cloud crane and flew away from Qing Yun's back.

The two cranes looked at each other and then nodded. This was their first real battle, and they couldn't afford to lose face.

The Traveler was extremely displeased to see his spell being neutralized.

But the person disappeared in the sky again. Just as Yi Zhi Xing Zhe was searching everywhere, two swords formed from clouds and mist came from the sky and stabbed at him!

Sensing the danger, the En no Gyōja immediately dodged. He had just been tricked by this unknown ninjutsu, and he wouldn't fall for it this time.

If I can't resist, can't I just dodge?

They intended to follow the direction of the ninjutsu to find the person who took the wind, but only saw two very large cranes circling in the air.

"This is that guy's summoned beast, could it be..."

A bad thought popped into Yizhi Xingzhe's mind, and then he saw the two cranes swooping down toward him!

"That's perfect!"

The traveler chuckled to himself, having been worried about not being able to catch it in the air, but unexpectedly it delivered itself to his doorstep.
