Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

Moreover, although Hiruzen Sarutobi was already the Hokage at that time, he was too young and many people were not particularly convinced of his authority.

Taking Tsunade as a disciple may also be to stabilize the relationship with the Senju clan, since although the Senju clan has been integrated into Konoha, Mito Uzumaki is still alive.

Mito Uzumaki was undoubtedly the strongest fighter in Konoha at the time, and the major clans certainly wouldn't dare to disrespect him.

Hiruzen thus successfully secured his position as Hokage.

However, Hiruzen is currently only an elite Jonin of Konoha. Although he is Tobirama's disciple, he is not yet at the level where he can casually take the Konoha princess as his apprentice.

This might just be fate.

Since neither Jiraiya nor Orochimaru's parents participated in the First Shinobi World War, they would not have been killed.

Their fate in this world will likely change because of this.

"It's good to have Hiruzen-nii-san's guidance, as it will allow those two children to fully develop their talents."

Afterwards, Tobirama talked for a long time with Tobirama, mainly about the village's current systems.

Tobirama wanted to see if Toki could offer any useful suggestions.

Qu Feng also provided answers to each of the village's current situations.

"Then, Lord Tobirama, I'll head back now; it's getting late."

Tobirama turned to look out the window; it was already dark. "Well, you should go back now. I have to go back too. I'm a little tired after reviewing documents all day."

After bowing to Tobirama, Torifu turned and left.

The Senju clan's territory and the Cloud Clan's territory are not on the same route, so Tobirama didn't wait for them to travel together.

After taking the wind home, he heard from Ah Bai that the craftsmen had just left. He then took the wind to Amado's house.

Just a few hours ago it was ruins, but now it's almost completely cleared. I think it can be started tomorrow.

Turning around, I walked to Amado's temporary residence and saw that the light was still on. I said to him from outside the door, "You have to go to school tomorrow, don't stay up late."

"Okay, brother, I'm going to sleep now."

Qu Feng shook his head and smiled. He felt like an old father, nagging his child to go to school every day.

Anyway, Amado was obedient, so I decided to leave him alone and go home to wash up before going to bed. I still had to smelt ore for Amado tomorrow.

The next morning, Qu Feng stretched and got out of bed. It was around nine o'clock.

For some reason, he really wanted to sleep in today. After the system notification woke him up, he slept for a few more hours.

I guess I didn't get enough sleep the past few days, and I'm making up for it all today.

Qu Feng glanced at a very old-fashioned clock hanging on the wall and realized that it was almost ten o'clock.

Perfect, I don't need to eat breakfast now, I can just wait and eat it together with lunch.

This bell was obtained by exchanging calmness points for wind-gathering. It's been hanging in my house for a year now, and I've accumulated about 5,000 calmness points, which still hurts a bit.

However, it is also very practical, as it eliminates the need to estimate time every day by taking in the wind.

After a quick wash, Qu Feng grabbed a bag of ore and headed out.

There were quite a few people on the street; everyone was working at this time.

When I passed by the Oya Castle family, I saw Oya Castle Tsuki strolling in the courtyard. However, I still had some things to do, so I didn't go in to chat with him.

Then they went straight to the blacksmith's shop.

Miya Shiki vaguely sensed a familiar figure in her peripheral vision, but upon closer inspection, she couldn't find anyone.

The wind-drawing technique was swift, and the user intentionally concealed their aura. This move was learned from the Aburame clan, and it seems to be quite effective.

As insect users, the Aburame clan's physical bodies are too fragile, so their clan's concealment technique is extremely powerful, capable of greatly reducing a person's presence.

Qu Feng is now weaving through the crowds, unnoticed by anyone, all thanks to the Concealing Breath Technique.

Otherwise, it would take more than an hour just to go out and greet the villagers, which is really frightening.

When they arrived at the blacksmith's shop, Qu Feng placed the ore on the wooden table and then dispelled the Concealing Breath spell.

Chapter 192 Brothers! Let's grit our teeth and get to it!

When they arrived at the blacksmith's shop, Qu Feng placed the ore on the wooden table and then dispelled the Concealing Breath spell.

Suddenly a person appeared, scaring everyone in the blacksmith shop half to death; they almost threw away the red-hot iron.

"Ghost!!!"

The blacksmith at the front shouted, and the hammer in his hand fell to the ground, just centimeters away from his toes.

Qu Feng was speechless. How could so many burly men with prickly beards be so timid?

"Hey, hey, look closely, I'm a person, not a ghost!"

The blacksmiths stopped panicking when they heard the sound of wind being drawn.

The foreman blacksmith looked closely and exclaimed, "Hey! Isn't this Lord Qu Feng? His sudden appearance has given us quite a fright!"

The people working at this blacksmith shop are all old acquaintances of Qu Feng, because this blacksmith shop is run by the Earth Spider clan.

The burly men inside were the same group of people brought back from the time they went to retrieve the wind, and although they had the talent of ninjas.

However, in Konoha Village, he was neither good enough for high-level jobs nor good enough for low-level ones, so there weren't many missions he could take on.

He then went back to his old trade, blacksmithing.

In their original country, they made a living by blacksmithing, and they were still very adept at it after returning to their old trade.

He quickly gained some fame in Konoha, and his business is currently thriving. He mainly forges ninja tools for various clans and supplies kunai to the village.

"I learned a breath-concealing technique from the Aburame clan a while ago, and I'm going to try it out today. It seems to be working quite well."

The blacksmiths were exasperated, thinking, "Are you using us to test your ninjutsu?" But they had no choice but to remain silent.

"Lord Torifu, is there anything you need to do? You shouldn't be lacking in ninja tools, right?"

The blacksmiths were also puzzled by the sudden visit of the Cloud Clan. Shouldn't the Cloud Clan, with its great undertaking, not need to come to them to forge ninja tools?

Qu Feng pointed to the bundle on the table: "I bought some ore from the Yuya Castle clan, and I need you to refine it."

He then handed a blueprint to the blacksmith: "Can you make this thing according to this blueprint?"

The blacksmith patted his chest and said, "What are you talking about? It's definitely going to work!"

What the wind gave to the blacksmiths were the parts that Amado needed. The blueprints that the wind gave to Amado were for a mechanical alarm clock, the kind that is wound up.

The parts were left to the blacksmith. The parts for the alarm clock are quite delicate, and it's unclear whether they can finish them.

"Then, Lord Feng, you can come back to collect it in three or four days."

Qu Feng nodded upon hearing this, then turned and left.

This alarm clock is mainly for Amado to practice with, because I heard him say recently that he always has no sense of time.

So I made these blueprints for him to play with.

If he can develop it, he might even be able to mass-produce it, which would allow Amado to earn some extra money.

After taking the wind away, the blacksmith, who had just patted his chest and made a promise, picked up the blueprints and looked at them.

It would have been better if he hadn't looked, because what he saw almost made him gasp for breath and fall into the furnace, but his brother next to him pulled him up.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

The foreman didn't say anything, but simply handed the blueprints to the brother next to him, and then the entire blacksmith shop began to collapse one after another.

After a long while, a group of blacksmiths leaned against the wall, panting heavily: "Brother! What are we going to do? This thing is simply beyond our ability to make!"

The foreman blacksmith scratched his head frantically, at a loss for what to do: "There's no other way! We'll just have to bite the bullet and do it!"

"Brother, let alone forcing ourselves to do it, we still can't do it even if we force ourselves. Don't you know your own limitations?"

Annoyed by his brothers' complaints, the leader suddenly stood up and shouted at them, "So what do you suggest we do? That's Lord Qufeng, we can't refuse! What other options do you have besides gritting your teeth and going for it?"

After he said that, the other brothers fell silent, as if they really had no other choice but to grit their teeth and bear it.

"Alright, alright, stop dawdling and get to work!"

At the foreman's command, the blacksmiths got busy again.

Qu Feng, who was on his way home, was naturally unaware of this, but even if they didn't finish it within the allotted time, Qu Feng wouldn't blame them.

After all, the difficulty of the project was evident, and the person in charge made a guarantee without even looking at the blueprints.

It seems unreliable no matter how you look at it, so I'll wait another ten days or so before picking it up.

When Touko passed by the Miyajo clan again, Miyajo Tsuki was standing at the door waiting for him.

"My lord, I knew it was you who went there just now. Sure enough, I waited for you."

Three years have passed, and Miyajo Tsuki still calls Torifu-sama "Lord Torifu." No matter how Torifu tries to persuade him, he remains unchanged, so there's nothing that can be done but let it be.

"Yes, Yan brought me the ore yesterday, so I took it to the blacksmith to forge it."

Afterwards, Miyajo warmly invited Torifu to the clan's territory. Since Torifu had nothing better to do, he went in with him.

"I just saw you pacing back and forth. Is something bothering you?"

Miya Shigetsu sighed: "I shouldn't have said anything about this, but it's really worrying."

"Oh?"

Miya Shigetsu continued, "As a businessman, I naturally need to be well-informed. I've recently heard rumors that the Land of Lightning intends to start a war. What should we do?"

Miya Shiki wasn't worried that the outbreak of war would affect his business; he was currently in a dilemma.

If the clansmen participate in the war, given their physical condition, they will definitely not be able to return. But if they don't participate in the war, how can they have the face to be openly protected by Konoha?

With no one to confide in, he paced back and forth in the clan's territory, burdened by his sorrows.

As for Torifu, Miyajo completely trusted him, after all, he was the benefactor of their entire family, which is why she confided her worries to him.

But then, Qu Feng waved his hand and said, "You're overthinking it. The Senju clan makes up the majority of your business. If there really is a war, do you think they wouldn't get the news?"

Miya Shirozuki was also puzzled by this. He had intended to inform the Senju clan about it, but the rumors were unconfirmed, and spreading them indiscriminately would plunge the village into chaos.

Miya Shirozuki definitely didn't want this to happen.

"Alright, don't worry about that. Focus on your business and getting well sooner is the most important thing."
