Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

Mito was even more puzzled after hearing this: "The Land of Whirlpools? What are we going there for? Could it be that something has happened in the Land of Whirlpools?"

Just as Mito finished speaking, a noise came from outside the living room.

"Kushina, come in. This matter concerns your grandfather. Come and listen."

Tobirama, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke and called Kushina, who was eavesdropping outside the door, in.

Kushina clenched her fists, lowered her head, and walked to Mito's side.

Mito pulled her into his arms: "What's wrong, my little princess? Are you homesick?"

Judging from this, Tobirama hasn't told his master and mistress about what happened in the Land of Whirlpools yet.

He looked at Tobirama, who finally nodded, so Torifu could speak freely without worry.

"It's like this, Master and Mistress, the Land of Whirlpools is currently..."

Qu Feng explained the whole story clearly, from beginning to end.

Mito's expression changed from confusion to shock, and finally to solemnity.

She never expected that her brother would encounter such a thing in his old age. The Uzumaki clan, which has always been united, should not have such a thing happen.

Kushina was sent out by a trusted confidant before Ashina Uzumaki disappeared, which is why she arrived in such a hurry and was escorted by only one guard.

After hearing what Torifu said, Kushina also buried her face in Mito's arms and started crying.

It seems the situation in the Land of Whirlpools is far worse than we imagined.

Hashirama frowned as well: "I didn't expect Ashina to have gone missing. As his ally, Konoha will definitely have to go and support him."

Then he looked at Tobirama and said, "If I were still the Hokage, I would definitely send you too. Don't blame Tobirama too much."

Qu Feng waved his hand: "Master, don't worry. Now that I've accepted the mission, I will definitely complete it well."

But who likes working? You're having a good rest, and then suddenly you're sent to a small island at sea to carry out a mission. Anyone would be upset!

Hashirama nodded after hearing this.

Ashina Uzumaki's disappearance worried him greatly, after all, the old man was much older than him.

The Land of Whirlpools is such a tiny place, where can they hide?

Kushina gradually stopped sobbing under the comfort of Mito and Tsunade.

"Grandma, can this big brother... save my grandpa... grandpa?"

Mito wiped away Kushina's tears and said gently, "Don't worry, he's a ninja who's stronger than me and your great-uncle now. He'll definitely be able to save your grandfather."

Hashirama immediately wanted to argue, but Mito silenced him with a single glance.

Then she said softly, "If you know anything, tell this older brother so he can save your grandfather as soon as possible."

Kushina nodded, her small eyes red and swollen from crying.

"Actually, I don't know much either. I only know that before Grandpa took me away, he met with my eldest and second uncles and then hurriedly took me away from Daming Prefecture."

"I had a guard take me away by boat at the beach, and then I saw my second uncle chasing after me with a large group of people. After a flash of light, my grandfather disappeared."

After recounting everything she had seen, Kushina lowered her head: "Grandma, Grandpa won't die, will he...?"

Mito patted Kushina's hair: "Don't worry, your grandfather is very capable. This little storm won't break him."

After listening to the wind, he obtained some information, but he felt that the situation was becoming increasingly chaotic.

The fact that the eldest and second princes met with Ashina Uzumaki together suggests that the two may have been working together.

But in the end, only the second prince chased after them, and then Ashina Uzumaki disappeared.

We can't determine which prince is good and which is rebellious, so even if we get to the island, we can't carry out any action.

"Kushina, what is your father's birth order?"

"Seven"

Qu Feng nodded. Of the nine princes, the eighth prince had been killed, and the murderer was still unknown.

However, Ashina Uzumaki ultimately sent Kushina away. Does this mean he trusted the Seventh Prince?

That being said, once you arrive in the Land of Whirlpools, don't easily trust anyone; rely on your own judgment.

Ashina Uzumaki sending Kushina away doesn't mean his father was a good person.

I originally came tonight to ask about Ashina Uzumaki, but now I realize it's probably pointless.

They simply turned into a beam of light and disappeared; where are we supposed to find them?

After discussing these heavy topics, I lost my appetite.

After taking a few bites, Qu Feng prepared to go home. Tonight, besides making his mind even more confused, he hadn't gotten much useful information.

Before leaving, Mito stopped Torifu: "My older brother is a very cautious person and he values ​​his life very much, so the light that Kushina mentioned disappeared after that might have been some kind of life-saving secret technique he used."

"I suggest you find him first, then many problems can be solved."

After listening to the wind, he nodded. The Land of Whirlpools wasn't a big place, and as long as Ashina Uzumaki hadn't left the Land of Whirlpools, finding him shouldn't be too difficult.

"Don't worry, Master's wife. Hiruzen and the others are coming with me this time. We'll definitely rescue Lord Ashina."

Mito patted Torifu on the shoulder: "I've always trusted you to get things done. This time, I'm really sorry to have troubled you. I didn't expect my brother to still like to cause trouble even in his old age."

Qu Feng shook his head: "Master's wife, sometimes trouble just comes knocking on your door."

Mito didn't understand what Torifu meant at first, but since Torifu had said he would rescue her brother, she stopped nagging.

She rarely troubled Qu Feng with anything, but this time it concerned her brother, so she had no choice but to ask Qu Feng for help.

After bidding farewell to his elders, Toru returned to his clan's territory. He would discuss the details with Hiruzen and the others tomorrow, and then set off for the Land of Whirlpools the day after.

This was the first time he had carried out a mission in such a vague way, without any useful information or knowing how to determine if the mission was successful.

Chapter 254 The Calm of the Morning

This was the first time he had carried out a mission in such a vague way, without any useful information or knowing how to determine if the mission was successful.

When he got home, he found Shuimen sitting on the steps in front of the door.

Upon seeing Qu Feng return, he immediately stood up and smiled, "Big brother, you're back!"

Qu Feng nodded: "Yes, I just went to my master's house to ask about some things. Were you waiting for me?"

Minato scratched his head: "Hmm... I'm a little worried since you haven't come home yet this late."

Toru patted Minato on the shoulder: "I'm really touched. Let's go, let's go into the courtyard first."

"Ok!"

The two sat down in the pavilion in the courtyard, and then asked Feng, "Have you had dinner yet?"

"I ate. My second brother took me to eat on the street."

Surprisingly, it was Amado who brought Minato the food; it seems the two of them get along quite well.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Touko tested Minato on his schoolwork, which Minato answered with ease.

"Minato, I'm going on a long trip the day after tomorrow. Amado is probably quite busy and may not have time to take care of you. If you need anything, you can go directly to your grandmaster."

Upon hearing this news, Minato was visibly disappointed. After all, they had only spent a little over a week together, and his older brother was about to go on a long trip, with no idea when he would be back.

"Okay, brother, I got it. You're going on a mission, right? Be careful."

Torufu patted Minato's head. He could see Minato's dejection, but in order not to affect his own mood, he pretended that nothing was wrong.

"Don't worry, I'll try to come back as soon as possible. I'm very strong, so there won't be any danger."

Minato nodded upon hearing this. During his week in Konoha, he had already learned about the ninja way of life.

Carrying out missions is the most important thing for a ninja; some ninjas will even give up their lives for a mission.

Therefore, the older brother certainly can't stay at home all the time, and he himself will also have to go out and carry out missions in the future.

Just consider it an early adaptation.

Qu Feng stretched and yawned: "Ah, since I came back from this mission, there haven't been any more annoying missions. It's finally my turn to rise up and sing!"

Minato didn't quite understand the meaning of "taking the wind" at first, but he seemed very happy.

Then he suddenly remembered that his older brother was going to become Hokage, right?

That's what Tobirama-sama said back then in the Hokage's office.

After my brother becomes Hokage, won't he no longer need to leave the village?

You can just sit in the office every day.

Thinking this way, Minato smiled again.

Seeing his expression, Qu Feng was also somewhat puzzled. Why was this child sometimes worried and sometimes happy?

But who cares? As long as I'm happy.

"Alright, Minato, it's about time you went to sleep. You have school tomorrow."

Minato nodded, said goodbye to Torifu, and went back to his room to sleep.

Qu Feng gazed at the stars and moon in the pavilion, drank a cup of tea, and then returned to his room to rest.

The next day at daybreak, the system's timely notification sound woke me up to take in the wind.

Qu Feng got up and walked to the windowsill. He opened the window and saw a bright and sunny morning. A ray of morning light shone through the window onto Qu Feng, warm yet with a hint of morning coolness.

After taking a deep breath, Qu Feng went to wash up. Although he had told them to come earlier, they probably weren't awake yet at this time of day.

There was no need to rush to get the wind. He put on a loose robe, held a cup of tea, and came to the recliner at the door.

Just as I was about to sit down, I noticed that my clothes were covered in morning dew.

With a wave of her hand, a gentle breeze dried the recliner.

She sat there comfortably, her hands covering the teacup, looking incredibly relaxed.

This kind of life was simply wonderful for Qu Feng.

It would be even better if we didn't have to perform any tasks.

Not long after, Minato also got up, pushed open the door, rubbed his eyes, and seemed not to be fully awake yet.
