Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

But this doesn't include the wind; at this moment, a faint burning sensation is emanating from his arm, which is Kakuzu summoning him.

Takefusa channeled his consciousness into the puppet and emerged from the mark on Kakuzu's arm. He looked around; it was pitch black.

Only one fire was burning, barely going out.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Kakuzu said in a low voice, "A war broke out on the border of the Land of Fire, and the Second Raikage died. You should know that, right?"

Qu Feng smiled and said, "Of course, I participated too."

These words shocked Kakuzu. Wasn't the news from the outside world about Hashirama and Tobirama? It seemed that Konoha was deliberately covering something up.

"You didn't come here in the middle of the night just for this, did you?"

Kakuzu shook his head: "Of course not, it's just some information, and I can't guarantee its accuracy."

"Rumors? Tell me about them."

"I heard from the underworld of the Land of Lightning that the Third Raikage has already succeeded to the throne; he is the son of the Second Raikage."

Qu Feng nodded. This kind of thing can't even be called news; anyone with a toe could figure it out.

Of all the Raikage in the Land of Lightning, the Third Raikage is the most powerful, and he is currently in his youth, which can be considered his peak period.

Kakuzu continued, "It's said that the Third Raikage seems to have no intention of coming to Konoha to pay reparations or apologize. He's even started spreading rumors throughout the ninja world that Konoha started the war."

After listening to the wind, I don't know if the Third Raikage is stupid or what, all my praise to him was for nothing.

The entire ninja world already knows the whole story, so isn't it a little late to start crisis management now?

All I can do is wish him success.

And he doesn't even want to come to Konoha to apologize? Spreading rumors is one thing, but he wants to gloss over it with an apology?

"The veracity of the news remains to be verified, but it's probably about 50% true and 50% false."

Qu Feng nodded. "You've said about 50% of what you meant and 50% of what you didn't."

This 50/50 probability is related to spirituality.

"Okay, I understand. You even found out about this. Did you make a special trip to the Land of Lightning?"

Kakuzu quickly denied it: "No, it's just that I've been under a lot of work pressure lately, and I wanted to look for someone suitable to join me."

Kakuzu's personality and other traits have changed a lot over the years he's been following Tokito.

Although they still appeared sinister on the surface, their interactions had become very relaxed and pleasant.

"Okay, okay, I don't know what excuse you came up with, since I haven't asked you to do anything recently."

Now that it was dark, Qu Feng was too lazy to argue with him any further. After confirming that there was nothing else, Qu Feng controlled the puppet back into the mark.

Regarding the matter concerning the Third Raikage, he felt it necessary to discuss it with Tobirama and let him decide what to do.

In any case, the fact that this rumor has already spread in the ninja world shows that he still harbors this intention.

The next morning, Qu Feng couldn't wait to rush to the Hokage Building. He was in such a hurry that he forgot to activate his Concealment Technique. Fortunately, there weren't many people in the morning, which saved him from traffic congestion.

"What's got you in such a rush? You came all this way first thing in the morning."

After calming his breathing in the office, Torifu recounted to Tobirama the news that Kakuzu had told him the day before.

As for the source of the information, Qu Feng simply mentioned a rumor.

But Tobirama teased him, saying, "Well done, kid. You even have your own people now."

Qu Feng pretended not to understand: "My lord, I don't quite understand what you're saying. You should see how to deal with this matter."

However, Tobirama did not follow the wind's lead: "Alright, kid, I won't pursue your past, but you need to learn to make judgments and not pose a threat to the village."

Tobirama continued, "I've also heard about the Third Raikage, which means the news has already spread throughout the ninja world, and they definitely don't plan to come."

"What can we do? We can't just let him stay here so comfortably, can we? He only lost his father and 30,000 ninjas! We've already wasted half a day's effort on him!"

Tobirama was speechless for a moment after hearing the words "take the wind." He had already been ruthless enough, but he hadn't expected this kid to be even more ruthless.

"Behead!"

Upon hearing this, Qu Feng's body trembled!

"what do you mean……"

Tobirama smiled and said, "Konoha is not a place that anyone can trample on. You start a war and think you can get away with it without paying a price? There's no such thing as a free lunch."

Qu Feng scratched his head: "Would Master agree?"

"Why do you care about him? Is he the Hokage or am I the Hokage? He's just an old man taking care of kids right now, his words carry no weight with me."

Wow! Such bold words! I wonder who was scolded by their brother and dared not say a word but only flatter?

Now that the war is over, they've become tougher.

Helpless, and to save face for the elderly man, Toru could only nod: "Yes, Master is no match for you! You are the Hokage! How can a firefly compare to the bright moon!"

This barrage of flattery stung Tobirama, making him increasingly reluctant to listen. This kid dared to say anything! Wasn't he afraid his master would beat him up?

Fortunately, after a short while, the wind-catching team returned to the main topic.

"Then who should be chosen for the beheading?"

Tobirama Kazemiya, who had been staring intently at him, immediately understood everything.

Good heavens, before, a thousand people disagreed with him going to the battlefield, but now they're sending him to behead the Third Raikage!

That's a huge leap!

But the key problem is that Qu Feng has absolutely no desire to go!

"Don't look at me like that! I know how strong you are."

Upon hearing Tobirama's words, Torifu could only avert his gaze.

There's nothing I can do; I exposed too much of my strength. If I hadn't shown off and resolved things quickly back then, none of this would have happened these past few days.

Right now, I can only feel two words: regret!

"Alright, then I'll leave this to you. I've heard the Third Raikage is quite strong. If you're not a match for him, retreat immediately."

Although Qu Feng nodded on the surface, he thought to himself, "Brother has a lot more to hide. What you've seen is nothing."

Those puppets alone are enough to give the Third Raikage a run for his money.

"Alright, then you should get ready. It's best to go and come back quickly. We can leave in a bit."

Qu Feng was filled with questions. If he hadn't made this mistake, would he have avoided all this trouble?

He insisted on announcing his news so early in the morning, only to find that the other person already knew and not only did he not say anything, but he also ended up taking on a chore for himself.

Who can I talk to to explain this?

Chapter 216 Departure for the Decapitation!

He insisted on announcing his news so early in the morning, only to find that the other person already knew and not only did he not say anything, but he also ended up taking on a chore for himself.

Who can I talk to to explain this?

There was no other way; since he had taken on the job himself, he had to finish it. However, it was a bit harsh to make him leave immediately. At least let the Raikage live for a few more days.

Turning away, his face was full of exhaustion. He came with a light heart, but returned as if carrying a mountain on his back.

Fortunately, he activated his breath-concealing technique this time, otherwise he would have been even more exhausted.

Just then, Hiruzen arrived at the Hokage Building to report for duty and saw Torifu walking out of the building with a dejected look on his face.

It was rare to see Qu Feng in this state, so I went up to ask him about it.

"Qu Feng, what's wrong? You seem a bit listless."

When Torika saw Hiruzen, he forced a smile: "Hehe, I just received a mission, can you help me with it?"

Hiruzen patted his chest: "Oh, so that's what it is. Look how worried you are. Leave it to me! What mission is it?"

Torifu immediately grabbed Hiruzen's hand excitedly!

"Great! Then set off for Kumogakure now to behead the Third Raikage."

Hiruzen's confident smile froze upon hearing this, like a bizarre painting.

He then slowly withdrew his hand, turned around, and left.

"Hey! Hey!"

Toru turned around and grabbed Hiruzen: "Why are you running! Didn't you say you'd help me share the burden?"

"I suddenly remembered that I have a date with Lake Biwa today, let's talk about it another day."

"Don't run! He's just the Third Raikage, you can beat him!"

Hiruzen turned around, grabbed Torifu's hand, and said, "I can beat the Third Raikage, but whether I can escape is another matter."

Okay, thinking about it carefully, Hiruzen has a point.

Seeing this, Toru no longer pressed the matter and let Hiruzen Sarutobi go.

Hiruzen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why did you go and behead the Third Raikage? Shouldn't he be coming to pay reparations?"

Qu Feng raised an eyebrow: "You've already told the truth."

Hiruzen gaped in disbelief: "You mean he's not coming?"

Qu Feng looked like he had answered correctly, and then added, "Not only are they not coming, but they are also spreading rumors in the ninja world that we sent troops first."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded. "In that case, the Third Raikage really should die."

"This guy is making me want to go there myself."

"Then come on, it's not like you can't beat them."

Hiruzen was genuinely tempted to go now. The Third Raikage's actions had touched upon the interests of Konoha, which he could not accept.

But after thinking about it, I decided against it. After all, finding a way to get the wind was definitely more reliable than doing it myself, and I did have other things to do.

"Forget it, you go. We'll throw you a celebration party when you get back."
