Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

I don't know why I'm talking about a little girl from the Uzumaki clan.

"What is this?" Minato and Kushina were both very interested, as if the people around them had suddenly disappeared from sight.

"It's just a concealment technique, which I modified myself. They won't notice us anymore."

Kushina nodded, thinking that this older brother was really a good person, as he could notice even these small details about her.

Not long after, Qu Feng brought the two of them to the territory of the Thousand Hands Clan.

Kushina stood at the door, hesitant to go in: "Big brother, do you think my great-aunt and great-uncle will like me?"

Qu Feng thought for a moment and said, "She definitely will. Your great-aunt loves children."

"Big brother, big brother, what about me? Will my grandmaster and grandmother like me?"

Torufu patted Minato's prickly head again: "Of course, you're my apprentice, what are you afraid of? Take courage!"

Qu Feng teased the two children at the entrance for a while until they were completely relaxed before entering the Thousand Hands Clan's territory.

Even Jonin can no longer easily detect the Wind's Concealment Technique.

This explains why there was no one to stop or anything when someone was shouting loudly at the entrance of the Senju clan.

However, this little trick couldn't fool Hashirama.

Hashirama sat in front of his house, sipping his drink: "I noticed you the moment you stepped out the door. What brings you here today?"

Qu Feng dispelled the concealment spell, then pointed at Kushina: "This is the princess of the Uzumaki clan, who has come to see my master's wife."

"And this one, he is my disciple Minato Namikaze, who will become Hokage in the future."

Hashirama didn't feel anything when his younger brother relayed his words, but he was still somewhat surprised when he heard Torifu say those words today.

After all, this child is only six years old now, and it's a long way from him to become Hokage.

Moreover, becoming Hokage isn't something you can just decide to do!

However, Hashirama quite liked this child. He seemed very intelligent, and with a master like Tokito, such a child would surely achieve great things in the future.

Mito heard the noise outside and pushed open the door to come out.

He spotted Kushina Uzumaki at first glance and immediately came down.

"You must be Kushina?"

Kushina nodded: "It's me, Grandma."

Kushina naturally saw Mito first, and her first impression was, "How can she be so young and beautiful? Her grandfather's teeth are almost all gone."

I never expected my great-aunt to still be so young. I guess she's been using her age to star in some kind of book.

Mito stroked Kushina's long hair: "You've suffered a lot on this journey. It's also your grandfather's fault. Why did he send you here all this way?"

Kushina smiled and said, "Grandpa said it was too dangerous at home, so he sent me here."

Mito was somewhat puzzled. Her home was only in the Land of Whirlpools, what danger could there be? Could it be that another country was invading?

But why did they send Kushina, a girl, to Konoha?

Mito said kindly, "You should live here from now on. It would be very lonely and unsafe for you to live alone in the Uzumaki Mansion."

"Thank you, Grandma. I will definitely study ninjutsu hard."

Mito patted Kushina's head with relief. Although it was the first time the two had met, the blood ties between them were unbreakable.

“Oh, right, Master’s wife,” Qu Feng suddenly said.

"what happened?"

"This morning, when I took Minato to play outside the village, I found this little girl. She was surrounded by a group of ninjas."

"It seems they want to capture or kill her."

Mito's eyes narrowed upon hearing this: "Are you serious?"

Qu Feng nodded: "Of course, how could I dare to lie to my master's wife? Those ninjas were killed on the spot, not even their bodies were left."

Mito thought for a moment, then spoke softly to Kushina, "Kushina, can you guess what those people's motives were for attacking you?"

Kushina shook her head: "Grandma, I couldn't have guessed. I haven't made any enemies along the way, and I've kept a very low profile with the guards."

This is a bit tricky. There haven't been any conflicts along the way, so finding clues might not be easy.

Moreover, the corpse was turned into clouds and mist by the wind, leaving not a trace behind.

Once the trail goes cold, it's impossible to know where to begin searching for the source of the energy.

Mito sighed, "In that case, I'll remember this for now and send someone out to investigate later."

Kushina nodded: "Okay, Grandma, I'm not in a hurry."

Hashirama was sitting to the side, and there was no way to get a word in edgewise. He tried to speak several times, but was interrupted each time.

"Or should I send in the Anbu to investigate? To attempt an assassination openly within Konoha Village is an insult to the village."

Mito waved his hand: "That's a good idea, but it's better to let Tobirama prepare it. He's the Hokage now, so it's not appropriate for you to mobilize the Anbu."

Hashirama nodded. Mito's words made sense. Although he was the First Hokage, Konoha was now under the rule of the Second Hokage.

But soon he will be under the rule of the Third Hokage; he is his own student.

Although he has a tendency to be lazy, his contributions to Konoha Village are unparalleled.

"Alright, let's leave it at that for now. Let's get together again tomorrow. I need to give Kushina a bath first; she must be exhausted after all this traveling."

After Mito finished speaking, she led Kushina into the house, while Hashirama continued to sit at the door.

“Your grandmaster was too worried about Kushina, so she neglected you a bit. Don’t worry about it, Minato.”

Minato shook his head: "It's alright, Grandmaster. I understand. I'm already very happy to see Grandmaster and Grandmother today."

Hashirama took a sip of sake and then laughed loudly, "Hahaha, he's a good boy. Torifu, you must teach him well, just like I taught you back then."

Toki walked over and sat down next to Hashirama, pouring himself a glass of wine.

"You have no doubt about my teaching ability; Rope Tree is a perfect example."

Hashirama rolled his eyes at Toru: "You're getting cocky when I say you're fat. You're really shameless. My blood flows in Nawaki's veins, so his talent is naturally good."

After listening to the wind, I was furious! I really wanted to have a good talk with this old man, Deng! Back when he was teaching Nawaki.

He exchanged many rare flowers and herbs from the shop and fed them to Rope Tree, which improved his talent.

Otherwise, how could Rope Tree have achieved its current capabilities?

Chapter 244 The Meeting of Two Abducted Children

After listening to the wind, I was furious! I really wanted to have a good talk with this old man, Deng! Back when he was teaching Nawaki.

He exchanged many rare flowers and herbs from the shop and fed them to Rope Tree, which improved his talent.

Otherwise, how could Rope Tree have achieved its current capabilities?

“Master, my elder brother also has your blood in him, but why isn’t he a genius?”

"This……"

Hashirama was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to refute it. This brat had stabbed him in the heart with his first words!

Only family members truly know which spot hurts the most when you get hit!

Although Hashirama was already a little emotional, he still pretended to be indifferent: "Do you even know what it means to skip generations? Nawaki's talent is so outstanding because he inherited it from me!"

Toru didn't bother arguing with Hashirama any longer. The old man knew perfectly well what was going on, but he just wouldn't admit it and was only good at talking.

"Alright, Master, whatever you say goes. We probably won't be able to have lunch today, so I'll take Minato out to eat. You and Master's wife should take good care of Kushina."

Hashirama waved his hand dismissively, as if shooing someone away: "Go on, go on, all you do is annoy me."

Torufu led Minato away; it wasn't time for a meal anyway.

So I took Minato home to rest first, since he woke up so early in the morning and probably hadn't had a good rest.

"What do you think of that girl?"

Minato, who had been intently observing the buildings surrounding the streets of Konoha Village, hadn't yet reacted: "Huh? What did you say, Master?"

Qu Feng asked somewhat helplessly, "What do you think of that girl?"

Minato scratched his head: "I don't even know her, how would I know what she's like? But she seems to be quite polite."

"You two will probably be classmates in the future, so get along well."

Minato looked at the passersby on the street and felt that everything was very new and interesting: "Isn't she a princess of the Land of Whirlpools? How could a princess be friends with a commoner like me?"

Although Minato joined Konoha Village and became a full citizen, he has not yet fully accepted his identity.

I still feel inferior, especially when I'm around princesses or princes.

After all, he had always believed that he was an ordinary person who could simply farm the land steadily.

The world of the aristocracy was beyond their reach.

Although I have come to this new place and have a new identity, the ideas I have been taught before cannot be changed overnight.

Torifu patted Minato's head: "There are no nobles or commoners in Konoha Village. The so-called princesses and princes are just identities."

"If you think she's a princess, then she is a princess; if you think she's just an ordinary friend, then she is just an ordinary friend."

Minato was a little confused: "Big brother, what you said is so convoluted... I didn't quite understand."

Qu Feng smiled and said, "What I mean is that you shouldn't underestimate yourself. Konoha is a place that values ​​strength. No matter how noble her status is, no one will care if she doesn't have strength."

Minato nodded, this time he understood, it meant he had to work hard to improve his strength.

"As long as you cultivate diligently and improve your strength, the villagers will naturally recognize and respect you, because that's how your elder brother got here."

Minato's blood boiled at Toru's words, and he clenched his fist, saying, "Don't worry, Master! I will definitely make something of myself!"

Toru patted Minato's head again: "As expected of my disciple, it's good that you have such confidence."

After being patted on the head twice, Minato's hair was all messed up. He covered his head and said, "Why does Master always like to pat my head?"

"Ahem... Of course, it's because it feels good. As for the other reason, you'll find out later."

The master didn't explicitly say what he was going to do, and Minato was still confused, but it wouldn't hurt to have his master pat his head.
