Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

This ninja was at least an elite Jonin, and his hand seals were incredibly fast; he released his water clone in just two seconds.

The clone and the main body together wielded a steel chain and surrounded Hiruzen!

When Hiruzen activates his Four-Tails form, his body becomes somewhat cumbersome, and the leader is also very fast on water.

They easily wrapped the steel chain around Hiruzen's body!

Then he manipulated his clone to behead Hiruzen with a long sword! All of this was done in less than five seconds, incredibly fast!

But just as the longsword was about to sever Hiruzen's head, the magma surrounding Hiruzen suddenly exploded!

The gushing lava completely covered the water clone, which instantly turned into water and disappeared.

And the situation of the main body isn't much better!

Because of the heat conduction of the steel chain, the high temperature directly burned his entire palm into charcoal.

And it's already stuck to the steel chain! If it's not dealt with quickly, the entire arm might be lost!

He gritted his teeth and stomped his foot! With one stroke, he severed his hand! The blood splattered onto the steel chain and evaporated instantly.

At this moment, the seawater beneath Hiruzen's feet was steaming.

Just as the leader was uncontrollably staggering backward due to the pain, Jing appeared before him in an instant.

Eyes open! A pair of scarlet Mangekyou Sharingan appear! In an instant, the leader is under control.

Just as Jing was trying to get him to reveal who was behind it all, the leader suddenly grinned!

The corners of his mouth were at a very strange angle.

Upon seeing this, Qu Feng was startled and immediately sensed something was wrong, so he slapped his hands against the sea!

Suddenly, a giant claw appeared beneath the leader's feet! It grabbed him firmly and dragged him to the bottom of the sea!

Just three seconds later! A violent explosion occurred on the seabed! Water splashed tens or even hundreds of meters high!

If such power were to explode near Kagami and Hiruzen, they would both be doomed.

Chiri's face turned pale; she had almost witnessed her brother's death.

Jing was also a little confused, but she recovered quickly.

"What is that thing? How could the explosion be so powerful?"

Hiruzen plopped down on the sea surface, panting heavily.

Was this mission really that dangerous? I almost died here!

Qu Feng stepped forward and casually cast a healing spell on the two of them. Although they were not injured, it had a calming effect.

"If the assassins we sent are like this, who knows what dangers are on this island? We must be careful and come find me immediately if there is any unusual activity."

Hiruzen nodded. This time, he really had to get serious, otherwise it would be really dangerous.

Jing kept replaying the scene in her mind. It didn't seem like the leader had broken free of the illusion on his own. It was as if his illusion had been interrupted by someone else's illusion, and then the leader was manipulated to explode.

But why does the Land of Whirlpools have such a powerful illusionist?

Jing then shared her thoughts with her friends, who were all quite surprised.

Hiruzen, equally incredulous, said, "Stronger than your genjutsu? You're currently the strongest genjutsu master in Konoha."

Jing nodded: "If my guess is correct, then this person's strength is definitely above mine."

Qu Feng smiled slightly. This is really interesting. We haven't even set foot on the island yet, and we've already given them a taste of their own medicine.

With such powerful illusion masters, why would these princes need to call for reinforcements from Konoha? What exactly are they planning?

"In short, everyone should be careful. The three people who possess the tailed beasts are not easily controlled by genjutsu, and Chiri has the Sharingan, so he is not easily controlled either."

Then Qu Feng turned his gaze to Xiao Chun and Yan: "Sister Xiao Chun and Brother Yan are different. I suggest that you two act together. I'll take care of the remaining prince."

Xiaochun and Yan nodded after hearing this. It concerned their safety, so there was no reason not to listen to their advice.

Chapter 262 The action begins

Then Qu Feng turned his gaze to Xiao Chun and Yan: "Sister Xiao Chun and Brother Yan are different. I suggest that you two act together. I'll take care of the remaining prince."

Xiaochun and Yan nodded after hearing this. It concerned their safety, so there was no reason not to listen to their advice.

"Alright, this show of force can't stop us. Let's keep going."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qu Feng dashed off toward the island, and his companions quickly followed.

This operation is definitely not just a simple internal strife among princes; there must be other forces involved.

But who exactly is it?

Although it is not clear at the moment, since they have already taken on this troublesome matter and have already landed on the island.

Then we can only gradually reveal the truth to the world.

For them, a distance of several hundred meters is less than a minute's work when collecting wind.

In a few quick leaps, they reached the shore.

Although the sand on the coast is very soft to walk on, it makes people feel exceptionally safe.

"Wait, is it just my imagination? Why do I feel like it's raining?"

Upon hearing Zhili's words, everyone looked up at the sky, but they couldn't find a single dark cloud.

However, they could definitely feel raindrops falling on their faces.

Qu Feng reached out and caught a drop of rain, feeling it for a moment.

It turned out to be just an ordinary raindrop, and that it's possible for rain to fall on a sunny day.

However, he still remembered this incident, since he had encountered such a strange thing as soon as he landed on the island.

It just didn't feel particularly unusual.

"It's nothing, just ordinary rainwater."

They all nodded. Since Qu Feng said there were no problems, no one paid much attention to it.

"Let's go then, but it's just barely dawn, they probably haven't woken up yet."

Hiruzen's words do make some sense. Those princes live a life of luxury every day, how could they possibly get up so early?

Moreover, they didn't inform the prince when they set off; they just rented a boat and came over.

Qu Feng nodded: "Let's check out the situation on the island first."

Then, with a wave of his hand, a wisp of cloud transformed into four or five small cloud birds, which flew towards the island.

Their vision is shared with that of the Wind Chaser; in the sky, the entire terrain of the Whirlpool Country is visible to the Wind Chaser.

After a while, Toru opened his eyes: "If you walk about three or four kilometers ahead, there will be a village. That's probably the Uzushio Ninja Village."

Hiruzen put his hand on Torifu's shoulder: "Then what are we waiting for? Let's just go straight into the village and then each of us can go find our own prince."

Danzo expressed great helplessness at Hiruzen's stupidity.

"We should split up and secretly go find our princes. You're still thinking of swaggering into the village?"

"Are you afraid that the entire Land of Whirlpools will know that Konoha has assigned ninjas to each of its princes?"

Hiruzen scratched his head awkwardly after hearing this: "It seems so. I was a bit inconsiderate."

Jing laughed loudly, "Monkey, you're not just being inconsiderate, you haven't considered it at all."

He then added, "Which prince are you all going to take charge of? Since Qu Feng is taking charge of three by himself, then I'll go find the fourth prince."

Danzo crossed his arms and said calmly, "Fifth Prince."

Koharu and Jiri each offered to take responsibility for the sixth and seventh princes, respectively.

As for the remaining Hiruzen, there was naturally no choice but to keep only the youngest, the Ninth Prince.

However, he didn't really care who he approached, since he didn't know any of them anyway, and it wasn't about making friends with them.

The goal was to extract information from the prince, find out who killed the eighth prince, and identify the prince who truly wanted to launch a rebellion.

As for Ashina Uzumaki, perhaps there's no need to rush. If the Land of Whirlpools is safe, then he naturally won't need to hide anymore.

At this moment, Qu Feng suddenly remembered something: "I almost forgot to mention, the Seventh Prince you're looking for, Zhi Li, is Kushina's father. You can focus on talking about Kushina's life in Konoha, which will help you build a closer relationship more quickly."

After hearing this, Zhili replied, "Okay, I understand."

This news undoubtedly reduced the difficulty of getting along with Chiri at the beginning.

Talking to a father about his daughter is definitely the quickest way to get to know each other, but you need to find the right balance, otherwise it might backfire.

However, it's very simple for an elite ninja like Chiri.

"Alright, now that everyone has chosen who they are responsible for, let's go find them and achieve our goal as quickly as possible."

The companions nodded and vanished in the blink of an eye.

Only Qufeng and Zhili remained on the beach.

"You're dealing with three at once, so be very careful."

Tori looked into Chiri's eyes and smiled: "Don't worry, I'm the future Third Hokage."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhili disappeared from Qufeng's sight in an instant.

Qu Feng stretched and began to stroll on the beach.

The sand was very soft, so soft that you wouldn't feel any discomfort even if you went barefoot, but he didn't have the leisure to play in the sand right now.

It would be impossible for one person to deal with three princes, but it just so happens that Qu Feng is not alone.

The golden mark on his arm emitted a soft glow, and then ten streams of light emerged from it.

Ten puppets stood neatly in front of Qu Feng, their heads bowed.

"Uzumaki, Dust Release, Sharingan, Byakugan, Scorch Release, Blood Dragon Eye, Lava Release, Storm Release, Wood Release, Boil Release, let's use these ten puppets for now."

After saying that, Qu Feng walked out of the beach and into the forest.

Meanwhile, the Wood Release and Boil Release puppets also left the wind-gathering team, dodging and weaving through the forest before finally disappearing.

"Giving them a certain degree of independent thought has indeed saved me a lot of trouble."
