Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

If we disregard forbidden techniques, one could reach the level of an elite Jonin with just ninjutsu alone; with forbidden techniques added, one could be considered a near-Kage.

If it were possible to take away the entire clan of a near-Shadow Realm expert, it wouldn't be so unacceptable.

This will greatly increase the village's fighting strength, and it's something that can be seen with the naked eye, unlike the promising future of the Miya Castle clan.

"Does that mean you want to join Konoha Village?"

Yi Zhixingzhe nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "Yes, yes, but I'm afraid the higher-ups in Konoha Village don't trust me. After all, you've experienced my forbidden techniques."

What Yizhi Xingzhe said makes sense. A person like this, who is like a time bomb, will definitely cause some resentment in the village.

After all, what if one day you suddenly get angry, or feel that the village's system is unreasonable and want to leave the village?

They secretly used a forbidden technique to wipe out Konoha Village. Who can they complain to?

The dead cannot be brought back to life; this is not Nagato and Naruto.

If you are killed by the Earth Spider's forbidden technique, then you are truly dead.

"Indeed, this is something that needs to be seriously discussed, and I cannot guarantee that you will get what you want."

"So, are you willing to speak to the higher-ups in Konoha on my behalf?"

The traveler was overjoyed, never expecting this person to be so magnanimous, not only forgiving past grievances but also willing to help him.

"I am a disciple of the First Hokage of Konoha Village and have a good relationship with the Second Hokage, so I can put in a good word for you. However, I still can't be sure whether it will work out."

Yi Zhi Xing Zhe initially thought the child in front of him was someone's young master, but he never expected that he was actually the Hokage's disciple.

This was such a coincidence! He couldn't help but admire the magnanimity of the wind. If it were someone with a narrow mind, they would have been lucky not to complain at all.

"You're actually the Hokage's disciple? I'm so sorry about what happened earlier. Are you really willing to help us? My clan and I are tired of living on the run."

The wind vanished as a cloud of mist, and before the traveler could say anything, the wind condensed and reappeared before his eyes.

"Don't worry, we've become friends through a fight, and I can help with this. But as I just said, the final decision rests with the Hokage."

With the words "take the wind," the traveler's heart was already half calmed down. After all, if he were to go to the Hokage himself, the success rate would definitely be even lower.

As for why I had to come to Konoha, it was mainly because I had heard about the peace agreement signed by the five great nations at the Five Kage Summit, at the suggestion of the Hokage.

This brought a rare period of peace to the entire ninja world, so the ninja believed that the Hokage was credible, at least more so than the Hokage of other villages.

After sparring and talking with the Hokage's disciple, I can see the Hokage's character from his words and actions.

“I’ll call you Lan. Calling you ‘Yakuza’ feels awkward, so this will be more convenient.”

Lan nodded: "Of course."

"In that case, take me to your gathering place first, and then I will return to Konoha and bring this up with the Hokage."

He then added, "Whatever the outcome, I will let you know."

Chapter 172 The Shun Family

"In that case, take me to your gathering place first, and then I will return to Konoha and bring this up with the Hokage."

He then added, "Whatever the outcome, I will let you know."

Lan smiled and said, "Okay, let's set off now."

Just as Lan was about to set off with Qu Feng, she suddenly remembered something: "By the way, are your two cranes alright?"

Qu Feng waved his hand: "It's alright, they're all healthy and strong, who knows where they've run off to."

Since Qu Feng had said so, Lan decided not to waste any more time and ran straight into the distance.

Lan weaved through the forest, with Qu Feng following behind. The two moved quite quickly and arrived at the Earth Spider Clan's camp in no time.

However, the camp was now deserted, and most of it had been destroyed in the fight between the two men.

"I told them to evacuate to the west, so they shouldn't have gone too far."

Qu Feng didn't say anything, while Lan rushed off in the west.

After walking for about ten minutes, the two found the members of the Earth Spider clan in a relatively open area.

At first, they thought that pursuers had come to kill them while the chieftain was away, but upon closer inspection, they realized that it was the chieftain himself.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Just as they were about to step forward and ask the chieftain, Qu Feng emerged from the bushes.

The tribespeople tensed up again: "Chieftain, what's going on? Why are the enemies here too?"

The scene became somewhat chaotic for a moment, and everyone felt a little frightened.

Lan waved her hand, signaling the clansmen to relax, and then said, "This is a ninja from Konoha Village, not a pursuer, so don't worry."

The tribesmen were a little confused after the chief said that. Wasn't it because they encountered pursuers that they had to retreat so far?

Look at that battle just now, the sand and stones were flying everywhere, and even trees thicker than waists were flying through the air. It was such a terrifying scene.

In the end, they attacked the people of Konoha Village? That's the village they sought help from!

This gives a bad first impression, so it seems like this time it's all over.

Some women and children even cried, and it's not fair to call them dramatic.

They had been on the run for far too long, and just when they had a glimmer of hope, it was extinguished.

Having experienced too many disappointments before, they pinned all their hopes on Konoha Village accepting them.

Seeing this scene, Lan was at a loss for how to respond, and the disappointment of the tribesmen reached its peak.

He also began to blame himself for taking action without investigation, because he didn't think that the ninjas from Konoha would come to such a remote place, and he made a subjective assumption.

Qu Feng roughly understood what the Earth Spider Clan was thinking, but in reality, it wasn't that serious.

Lan didn't intend to kill them; she was just trying to protect her people.

"I am an elite Jonin from Konoha Village. Your clan leader has already told me about your clan's history. I will set off to return to Konoha and report to the Hokage."

"If the Hokage agrees, then you can join Konoha Village."

Despite what Toru said, the Tsuchigumo clan did not seem to be any better; they all believed that Toru was just looking for an excuse to get away.

They probably won't come back after leaving here, but there's nothing we can do about it, since they were in the wrong first.

"I will be back tomorrow to give you an answer."

After speaking, he summoned Qingyun and Liufeng. Seeing that they were not acting strangely, he rode Qingyun back to Konoha Village.

"Chief, is there still hope for us?" a little girl from the tribe asked timidly after Qu Feng left.

Lan walked up to her, squatted down, and patted her head: "Don't worry, he is the disciple of the First Hokage of Konoha Village. He is much stronger than me, so there is no reason for him to lie."

"Chief! Do you mean you were defeated by that child from before?"

Although she was reluctant to admit it in front of her clansmen, Lan finally nodded: "Yes, he is much stronger than me. If he were serious, I would be dead long ago."

For a moment, the clansmen couldn't quite believe that their chieftain had been defeated. After all, the chieftain possessed the clan's forbidden technique, and it was thanks to this technique that they were able to escape from the Land of Water all the way to the Land of Fire.

"Then perhaps, that child really might come back."

These words gave the members of the Earth Spider clan a sense of support.

Everyone has recovered from their grief.

Seeing this, Lan immediately encouraged everyone, "Cheer up, everyone! I believe that person will give us an answer."

"Even if Konoha doesn't accept us, the Tsuchigumo clan will never perish! We've survived countless hunts! What's this one?"

Lan's words had some effect, and the tribespeople's mood was no longer so low.

After all, Lan had only been the clan leader for a short time, and it was already quite remarkable that she was able to lead her people to the Land of Fire without suffering many casualties.

The tribespeople initially had some reservations about the young chieftain, but he resolved countless crises along the way, so they eventually accepted Lan.

They all hope that Konoha Village will accept them and give them a place to stay.

At this moment, Qu Feng was leisurely sitting on Qingyun's back, overlooking the beautiful scenery of the Fire Country.

"Are you two alright?"

Qingyun rolled his eyes. We're almost back in Konoha Village, and you're only just realizing we're injured? Isn't that a bit too late?

But there really isn't anything seriously wrong with it.

"Don't worry, it's just a minor injury, it's already healed."

Qingyun added, "Don't tell Mom when you get home, don't make her worry."

Qu Feng said he could keep quiet about it, since telling A Bai about it would be useless and would only make her worry unnecessarily.

It's quite a strange story. Originally, Qingyun discovered that the natural energy here was relatively high, so he came here to cultivate immortal arts.

As a result, he didn't master any of the immortal techniques, but he did get into a fight with someone, and might even bring back a family along the way.

There's no other explanation besides coincidence.

I'll go to the Land of Lightning and bring back the Miyajo clan. This time I don't even need to go abroad; I can just bring the clan back from the Land of Fire.

Hopefully, next time they can be more efficient and find the clan right outside Konoha Village.

In the fight with Lan, Qu Feng did not use his true strength. Even the Cloud Dispersion and Annihilation Technique he used at the end was only at the level of his full strength. Otherwise, he could have sucked the entire lake dry, let alone the ice surface!

Even if the Earth Spider's clansmen run further away, they can be sucked back and killed.

Chapter 173 Easy to Recruit Family Physique

Even if the Earth Spider's clansmen run further away, they can be sucked back and killed.

This Cloud Dispersion and Annihilation Technique is an extremely wide-range destructive ninjutsu. Once someone is sucked into the cloud sphere, they are almost certain to die unless they use wind to release it.

However, ninjas of Kage-level strength, like Tokito, can use their physical abilities or other methods to counteract the suction of the cloud ball.

It's not an unsolvable ninjutsu for strong individuals; it just makes clearing out mobs easier.

According to the Cloud Release scroll, this ninjutsu was created by the great-great-grandfather of the Wind-Taming Clan. It was because of this jutsu that the Cloud Clan became famous and no one dared to provoke them easily.

Otherwise, who wouldn't covet such a powerful escape technique?

Although the Tsuchigumo clan possesses extremely destructive forbidden techniques, their weakness is also very obvious: they require energy to be charged. Without energy, Tsuchigumo is no different from a Jonin.

Furthermore, there are a large number of clansmen who cannot learn forbidden techniques, which will become the clan leader's weakness and distract him in battle.
