Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

Qu Feng waved his hand, indicating that there was no problem.

It was just a joke with Hiruzen; there was no way I would actually let him go.

Moreover, he and Biwako are currently in the midst of a deepening relationship and may soon be getting married, so even Tobirama is no longer sending him on long-distance missions.

They mostly just wandered around the vicinity of Konoha Village.

After all, the marriage of the young clan leader Sarutobi was a great joy for Konoha Village. Although Biwako was just a commoner girl, she did not feel that she was not good enough for Sarutobi Hiruzen.

The two were very close and harmonious, and she always comforted Hiruzen when he was anxious.

In the original world, the elderly couple had a very good relationship, and they even had two sons with Hiruzen.

It's a pity that Biwako sacrificed herself on the night of the Nine-Tailed Fox. It can be said that she devoted her whole life to the village and Hiruzen.

After returning home, Qu Feng immediately began packing his things, including the dry rations he would need for the journey.

He then told Ah Bai, who had regained consciousness, that he was going on a long trip.

Qingyun and Liufeng still followed Qufeng. If they were to walk such a long distance on their own, they probably wouldn't be able to return for half a month.

With Qingyun and Liufeng, this time can be shortened to within three or four days.

After killing the Raikage, make your escape immediately. It would be best to have Qingyun Liufeng snipe the remaining strong members of Kumogakure.

It would be even better if we could wipe out the Hidden Cloud Village and leave only civilians, so that a great ninja village would become an ordinary village.

They would naturally want to take all the village's resources and secret techniques, since these all belonged to Konoha.

"Azure Clouds and Flowing Wind! Full Speed ​​Ahead!"

With two crane cries, the villagers of Konoha Village saw the wind-gathering ceremony for the first time in a long time.

"Look, it's Lord Qufeng! What's he going to do now?"

"I don't know, but it's definitely going to be something big!"

The view from high above is beautiful, but it's just a routine task for them to collect wind.

Being able to fly allows you to see beautiful scenery that others cannot, and also allows you to observe the world from a different perspective.

It takes half a day to get from Konoha Village to the border, and you have to cross two countries to reach the border of the Land of Lightning.

Today will almost entirely be spent on Qingyun's back.

Qingyun's back is quite broad, enough for him to lie down and relax in the breeze.

When Qu Feng had nothing to do, he would always wonder when Qing Yun and Liu Feng would be able to get married.

May your family have many children soon.

After all, these are two crane immortals who know immortal arts. It's hard to guarantee that they won't become like the Great Toad Immortal after cultivating for a hundred or two hundred years.

By then, the Cloud Clan's territory will have become the fourth sacred land.

However, it's uncertain whether we'll actually benefit from the wind-gathering at that time.

Everything is still unknown.

However, judging from the current situation, although these two cranes are very large, they are still like children and have no interest in that kind of thing.

Qu Feng never imagined that he would be so concerned about the lifelong happiness of two cranes.

"Qingyun, how long can you maintain this flying speed?"

Qingyun didn't even hesitate: "Keep flying!"

"Don't be reckless, is it really possible?"

Liu Yun, who was standing to the side, said, "We can absorb natural energy at any time to recover from physical fatigue, so we can keep flying without any problem."

Qu Feng nodded. Since even Liu Feng said so, Qing Yun probably wasn't just showing off.

"Alright! In that case, let's fly all the way to Kumogakure in one go!"

Last time I came with Zhili to gather intelligence, I was filled with all sorts of worries and caution, and I even got off Qingyun and Liufeng as soon as we reached the border.

This time, instead of being cautious about such an important mission as beheading the Raikage, they were preparing to swagger into Kumogakure.

Three years have passed in the blink of an eye. Hell Valley has now become a mine for Konoha Village, but no one in the Land of Lightning has noticed it.

This mine has brought Konoha a great deal of mineral resources, which cannot be measured in monetary terms.

These rare ores used to forge equipment for ninjas are generally strategic resources, and most of the ores in Miya Castle have been purchased by the village.

Chapter 217 Revisiting Hell Valley

A day later, Qu Feng had entered the Land of Thunder, and Qing Yun and Liu Feng carried him freely flying in the sky above the Land of Thunder.

Things are different now. Even if we are discovered taking the wind, we are not afraid at all, since our mission is to kill the Third Raikage.

Being discovered will only hasten his death.

After all, according to the plan to obtain the wind, they should wait until late at night to sneak in and assassinate him.

It's really blatant to do this in broad daylight, which is inconsistent with the identity and ethics of this profession.

But it's only around nine in the morning, and we can't just sit on Qingyun's back and wait all day.

However, he remembered that the Land of Lightning also owned a property in Konoha Village.

This caused Qingyun Liufeng to fly towards Hell Valley.

It's not much different from when I came three years ago. The surrounding area is still barren and desolate, and you can still see animal skulls and even human remains from time to time.

It might be some adventurer who stumbled upon it.

Qu Feng felt that over the years, there had always been people who would go to Hell Valley to explore it, but when they discovered the Konoha ninjas entrenched in Hell Valley, they probably would understand why it was called Hell Valley.

When Qingyun and Liufeng landed in front of Hell Valley, almost instantly, a kunai was pressed against his throat.

Qu Feng remained calm and said indifferently, "Take a look at who I am."

The ninja took a closer look and immediately removed the kunai: "Lord Torifu! What brings you here? I'm truly sorry for the intrusion."

Qu Feng waved his hand: "It's alright. You've all done your duty to protect this place, how could I blame you?"

"My master sent me here to carry out a small task, but I can only take action at night, so I came here to rest for a while."

The Senju clan ninja immediately smiled: "That's great! We were just worried about the red mist in the valley, and you can help us solve it."

"No problem, I'll take care of it."

"Lord Qufeng, my name is Senju Jie. I haven't been back to the village for several months. How is the clan chief?"

As he followed him, Toki said with a smile, "Master is in good health, playing with Tsunade every day, and Nawaki is doing well too."

Senju Jie smiled sincerely after hearing this: "It's good that everything is safe and sound."

Qu Feng nodded: "Don't worry, Master is in good health. Living to be eighty or ninety years old is no problem."

The two entered the Valley of Hell. The cave that Hashirama had punched through was still the same, except that the rubble had been cleared away.

As you walk in, apart from the ninjas moving around inside and out, it's basically the same as when you first came here.

But once inside, it's a different story. Various mining tunnels and ore-carrying carts are scattered throughout the cave.

The former sacred sites of Oya Castle have now been replaced by houses, though they are rather simple.

When people saw that the wind-bringer had arrived, they all crowded around him.

The ninjas here are all from the Senju and Miyajo clans, and they have a very good relationship with Torifu.

They had met Feng and the others many times in Konoha Village and were not unfamiliar with each other.

However, everyone was busy with their work, and after chatting with Qu Feng for a few minutes, they all went back to their own tasks.

Qu Feng also breathed a sigh of relief; he disliked chatting the most.

"By the way, you just told me to deal with the red mist. Is there a problem with the cloud sphere?"

Senju Kuro nodded: "Why don't you come with me and take a look? After all, it's your ninjutsu, and I don't really understand it."

Qu Feng did not refuse and got up to follow him to the bottom of the cloud sphere.

As expected, the cloud spheres left here were already operating beyond their capacity.

Although it can still absorb the red mist, it can no longer be completely purified.

"How long has this been going on?"

Qian Shoujie did not hide anything and answered truthfully, "It will be about two weeks. I was thinking of asking you to come and see me when I returned to the village next time, but I didn't expect you to come by yourself."

Qu Feng nodded, then stretched out his right hand and quickly created a high-speed spinning cloud.

Three years have passed, and the wind has become increasingly adept at creating cloud spheres.

The cloud slowly rose into the air, absorbing all the scattered red mist in the valley, and the air became fresh again.

Then, with a gentle wave of his left hand, the previous cloud spheres flew into the sky and exploded into the clouds.

The impurities inside also flew in all directions.

"Thank you so much, Lord Qufeng, for today. Otherwise, the brothers would have had to work wearing masks, which would have made things much slower than usual."

The members of the Miyajo clan have long since recovered, and those who are not skilled in ninja have come here to work.

Although it's quite hard work, the salary is still very high.

Almost everyone here comes here because they lack ninja talent, except for ninjas like Senju Suguru.

There were about twenty people with similar skills to him, mainly responsible for protecting Hell Valley and the miners.

In the event of a landslide or if someone accidentally wanders into this area, they can provide immediate rescue or clear the area.

Although the living conditions here are poor, it's all for the sake of the village and my family. Thinking about that makes me forget all the hardships.

"Lord Qufeng, what mission are you here on this time? It's been a long time since we've seen you travel far from home."

Senju Suguru was sent by Hashirama and is considered one of the stronger ninjas among the new generation of the Senju clan.

Therefore, there was no need to hide the fact that he was taking the wind; he could find out by asking around after he returned to the village.

"Go and kill the Third Raikage."

"Eh?"
