Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

Under such harsh measures, the elders never dared to use the incantation of the caged bird again.

Their spoiled sons were also severely punished by Hinata Nozomi and subjected to intense training.

Anyone who dares to resist will be given a good beating.

By now, almost all of the clan elders from before have died.

Although the old clan members had always had some complaints, they only dared to talk about it behind their backs, and no unrest occurred.

Everything was moving in a positive direction, and the Hyuga brothers, Hiashi and Hizashi, were both chosen as successors to the clan headship.

Both brothers had the potential to become clan leaders, so they both trained very hard.

This is the best possible outcome for the Hyuga clan.

Once this group of children grows up, the Hyuga clan's strength will definitely increase significantly.

Because Tokifu helped Hinata Shima, the Hinata clan members respected Tokifu greatly, as he was a great benefactor to them.

This incident caused quite a stir back then, and the elders of those clans all went to the Hokage to complain, but they were told to resolve their own family matters themselves.

After all, both Hashirama and Tobirama wanted to prevent the mark of the caged bird.

But the elders all said it was their own family matter, and even the Hokage had no right to interfere.

Who would have thought that they themselves had blocked their own escape route.

They wanted to seek help from other clans, but the other clans also knew what the Hokage was thinking, and besides, Toki was Hashirama's disciple, so who would dare to offend him?

The elders had no choice but to fight back themselves, and were severely beaten by Qu Feng, almost losing half their lives. In the end, they trembled when they saw Qu Feng.

It was only after Hinata Nozomi intervened and obtained the wind that the matter was dropped.

Chiri was also present at the time, sitting to the side cheering for Toru. It was at this time that she became interested in the Hyuga clan and chose a Hyuga disciple.

"Alright, we've collected all the gifts. Shouldn't we head into the village? What's the point of just standing here at the gate?"

Qu Feng nodded: "That makes sense, let's go in."

Takafumi and Chiri led the three children into Konoha Village. They first went to the mission meeting place to hand in their missions, and then Chiri let the three of them go about their own business.

The three children were very tired from the journey, and when they heard that they had free time, they happily ran home to rest.

Meanwhile, Toru and Jiri strolled through the streets, and to avoid being disturbed, they both used the Concealing Breath Technique.

"How was it this time? Did you bleed?"

Zhili couldn't help but laugh after hearing this: "Don't even mention it! They almost wet their pants when they saw me kill a bandit! They looked so funny."

Qu Feng smiled slightly: "I still remember the first person I killed was a spy from Kumogakure, right outside Konoha."

"That spy was supposed to be used by Lord Tobirama to carry out a double plot, but I killed him. I've been thinking about it for days."

After hearing this, Chiri finally couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Hahaha, I can imagine Tobirama-sama's expression! He'll definitely say very seriously, 'Evil Uchiha!'"

"That's right, that's right! That's exactly what he said back then!"

They both burst into laughter at each other's antics.

Chiri didn't care what Tobirama said, after all, there were indeed people in the Uchiha clan who wanted to rebel at that time.

It's understandable to say a few words, but now it's simply because the habit of saying things can't be broken.

Occasionally, I'd hear him say something that I found quite amusing.

"Now that you're on duty, you'll probably be traveling a lot, right?"

Zhili thought for a moment and said, "Hmm... that should be true. After all, we need to take them on a training mission. This time, eliminating a few bandits scared them half to death. You could say they're completely theoretical."

There's nothing we can do about it; it's a perfectly peaceful time right now, and there's not even a hint of war brewing.

Children who grow up in this environment may be carefree, but they will lack the fighting spirit of a ninja.

However, it is possible to develop these skills through training, although it will be very difficult for them.

After all, Chiri's ninjutsu isn't like Tokito's, which involves various crystals, clouds, and the like.

How about disemboweling or burning him to a crisp? I guarantee you won't be able to eat for three days.

"I always have a feeling."

"How does it feel?" Zhili asked, somewhat puzzled.

"The ninja world is too quiet right now; perhaps something that will stir up trouble will happen soon."

Chiri stood on tiptoe and patted Torifu's head: "Relax, relax, maybe you've been too idle lately. Konoha is so strong now, who would dare to invade us?"

Qu Feng was caught off guard by the head pat. He was always the one patting other people's heads, and he never expected to be the one being patted on the head today.

But why was he still somewhat happy? The corners of his mouth were slightly upturned.

"maybe."

In this Konoha village, there are his friends, relatives, and lovers who take the wind, as well as countless ordinary villagers who respect him.

Everyone is living happily together, and this peace is hard-won. Qu Feng will not allow anyone to destroy it.

No one can.

Chapter 251 Sending You Home

In this Konoha village, there are his friends, relatives, and lovers who take the wind, as well as countless ordinary villagers who respect him.

Everyone is living happily together, and this peace is hard-won. Qu Feng will not allow anyone to destroy it.

No one can.

Then Toruka added, "You've only just returned, so you might not be entirely clear on the details. Tobirama-sama has assigned us a mission to go on a long journey."

"What?"

Zhili was a little confused. How come he had just returned and hadn't even had a bite to eat before he had to go on another mission?

"That day I took Minato for a stroll outside the village, and we ran into a little red-haired girl..."

Qu Feng explained the whole story to Zhi Li in detail.

After hearing this, Zhili also felt that the plot was going very absurd.

It's really absurd that such a small country as the Land of Whirlpools would stage a coup.

The fact that all nine princes sent letters requesting to borrow troops makes it even more puzzling.

There was no alliance among the nine princes; they all fought their own battles, but there could only be one daimyo position.

It's not realistic to expect Konoha to send out nine waves of troops and then let them fight each other.

"Alright, stop thinking about it. We don't know enough information to figure anything out. We'll have to go to the Land of Whirlpools to make a judgment."

Chiri nodded. Torifu was right; they knew far too little information. Besides the disappearance of Ashina Uzumaki and the death of a prince, there was nothing else of value.

"Ugh, this is really troublesome."

Torifu shrugged: "Who says otherwise? Luckily, we have a lot of help this time, and Hiruzen and the others will be going too."

Upon hearing this, Zhili perked up: "My brother and the others are going too? That makes things much easier. You should be leading the team, right? You can just order them around."

Qu Feng smiled and said, "I wouldn't dare. That's my future brother-in-law."

Zhili rolled her eyes at him: "Tch, you're actually afraid of these things? You even dared to talk back to the Hokage."

Qu Feng scratched his head: "What's this compared to your blatant and subtle mockery of the Third Hokage? Isn't that even more impressive?"

After hearing this, Chiri put her hands on her hips and said, "When did I ever mock the Third... Hokage...?"

His voice grew softer and softer until finally he looked at Torufu in disbelief: "You're going to become the Third Hokage!"

Qu Feng smiled slightly: "What? Are you surprised? With my qualifications, I should be able to handle this easily, right?"

Chiri shook his head: "I'm surprised because you're going to become Hokage so soon, and you're only twenty-two!"

Torifu said with a hint of helplessness, "I was tricked. If it weren't for Lord Tobirama's painstaking efforts and various methods, I wouldn't want to be in this position."

"Hmph! I knew this wasn't something you wanted to do."

"Alright, alright, we've gone off-topic. We were talking about the Land of Whirlpools, weren't we?"

Upon hearing this, Zhili realized that they had indeed gone off-topic, but it was Qifeng who had led them astray! Now they were turning the tables on him!

Toruka smiled and said, "The most difficult part is that Lord Tobirama asked me to act according to my heart this time."

"To put it simply, whoever I support will become famous..."

Chiri seemed quite surprised: "So, does that mean all these princes have to come and curry favor with you?"

Qu Feng flicked his sleeve and said, "Of course, don't you know who I am?"

Just as he was about to veer off-topic again, Zhili grabbed his ear and pulled him back to the main point.

"I know you've had this idea for a while now, so tell me about it."

Hearing Zhili say this, Qufeng shook his head: "I have absolutely no clue. I just received the mission and came out to pick you up. My mind is a mess. But you have two days to rest, so you can plan it out properly."

The nine princes each sent letters, and one of them died soon after, as mentioned in the letters of the later princes.

Everyone wanted Konoha's support, so they portrayed themselves as incredibly wronged and incredibly righteous.

Each prince said they would borrow Konoha's forces to eliminate the traitors, but not one prince suggested searching for the missing Uzumaki Ashina.

Although he has disappeared, he is still the head of the Uzumaki clan and their father. It is strange that not a single child asked Konoha for help in finding him.

"Come to my house for a while first. I'll go to my master's place tonight to ask him for some information."

Upon hearing this, Chiri agreed to the suggestion of taking the wind, since the people most familiar with Uzumaki Ashina should be his master's wife and Lord Hashirama.

Take the wind and bring Zhili back to the Cloud Clan's territory. In the pavilion in the courtyard, Shuimen was sitting cross-legged on a stool, cultivating.

Hearing footsteps, he opened his eyes and found his older brother and an older sister he didn't recognize.

"Big brother, who is this lady?"

Takefusa pulled Chiri over, then smiled and introduced her to Minato: "Minato, this is your future master's wife. You can just call her Chiri-nee."

Upon hearing that this was his future master's wife, Minato bowed and said, "Hello, Jiri-nee. My name is Namikaze Minato. I am your disciple, please take good care of me."

Zhili walked up to Shuimen and helped him up, saying, "There's no need for so much formality in the future. We're all family."
