Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

For the past ten years, Qu Feng has been researching these puppets. With the puppets around, Qu Feng is a one-man army.

However, even with Kage-level strength, controlling too many puppets at the same time is not enough.

After all, this is different from puppetry, which uses chakra threads to move puppets.

Each of Qu Feng's puppets is a person without any thoughts. As long as one's thoughts are fully invested, Qu Feng can even directly replace the body!

Fortunately, after a long period of research and development, they were finally able to develop some independent thinking, and could execute orders perfectly as long as they were given.

But they are still puppets in essence. Taking the wind will not give them complete consciousness, and they may turn against themselves in the end.

When no orders are given, the puppet will obediently follow the wind-taker, saving the wind-taker the trouble of having to distract himself and control it.

And so, one man and eight puppets set off towards the Uzushio Ninja Village deep in the forest. Along the way, the events that occurred made Toru increasingly curious about this small island.

Chapter 263 Rain

And so, one man and eight puppets set off towards the Uzushio Ninja Village deep in the forest. Along the way, the events that occurred made Toru increasingly curious about this small island.

The island where the Land of Whirlpools is located should be in a tropical region, and the various trees on the island are all in line with the characteristics of tropical plants.

As soon as you enter the forest, you are hit by a wave of humid heat, and the further you go in, the more humid and hot it becomes.

Moreover, the smell of soil and decaying leaves is quite pleasant.

There were just too many insects, so to avoid being bitten, it had to release a cloud of mist to cover itself.

The effect is quite good, and it doesn't affect the speed of travel.

Qu Feng swaggered around with the puppet, not caring whether he was discovered or not, as long as his companions were not exposed.

That's exactly the kind of swaggering attitude he wanted.

We've been in the forest for about ten minutes now, and have walked about a kilometer.

Through the Cloud Bird's vision, I discovered that we were not too far from Uzushio Ninja Village. There were several small villages near Uzushio Ninja Village, but they were quite populated.

Qu Feng walked along, looking at the surrounding scenery as if he were on an inspection tour, with the eight puppets behind him all bowing their heads and following behind.

Then he noticed that a young man carrying a blue umbrella seemed to be coming from the front.

Upon seeing Qu Feng, the man immediately smiled, then bent down and jogged over to Qu Feng, behaving like a servant.

"My lord, you must be the envoy sent by Konoha!"

Qu Feng glanced at the young man sideways before asking, "Who are you?"

The young man bent down and looked up at Qu Feng with a fawning smile: "Sir, you can just call me Yu."

Qu Feng waved his hand: "Alright, take me to see the prince. It's fine if you don't know your name."

Yu was not angry at Qu Feng's rudeness after hearing this, and still smiled: "Sir, I still need to verify your identity, otherwise I can't bring you into the village."

"What did you say!"

He unleashed a torrent of chakra, causing the trees around him to snap in half instantly.

The rain was also blasted away by this chakra, rolling several times on the ground before stopping.

But as soon as he stopped, he forced himself to get up quickly, wiped the blood he had just spat out with his sleeve, and ran back to Qu Feng.

"My lord, I need to verify your identity on the orders of the prince, not to offend you."

Toruka's lips curled into a slight smile, which vanished instantly as he feigned anger: "It was your prince who sought help from Konoha! Is this your attitude?!"

But Na Yu still insisted on proving her identity, adopting an extremely humble attitude.

Seeing that he was so humble, Tokifu couldn't make things difficult for him any longer. So he turned around and revealed the Konoha ninja insignia, and then took out Tobirama's handwritten letter.

After quickly glancing at the contents of the letter, Na Yu smiled again: "My lord, the prince has been waiting for you for a long time. Please come with me."

Qu Feng rolled his eyes at him: "Lead the way, the roads in your Whirlpool Country are really difficult to travel."

Yu maintained her smile after hearing this: "Please forgive me, my lord, the Land of Whirlpools has been like this for the past few decades."

He then ran quickly to Qu Feng, bent down and pointed the way.

It was obvious that he was walking with a limp, which was clearly caused by the sudden burst of chakra he had just obtained.

But seeing Yu's disheveled appearance, Qu Feng felt no remorse whatsoever.

Led by the rain, Qu Feng and the puppets quickly left the forest. The moment they stepped out of the forest, Qu Feng's vision suddenly opened up.

A village about the same size as Konoha appeared before him.

Actually, Qu Feng had observed the Uzushio Ninja Village through the Cloud Bird quite early on, but seeing it from his own perspective still gave him a different feeling.

The overall style is not quite the same as that of Konoha Village.

The walls are carved with masks of various sizes, which should be one of the sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan.

The Death Mask, sealed by the Reaper Death Seal, is also among them.

"My lord, this is the center of the Land of Whirlpools, the Whirlpool Village, where the daimyo and princes reside."

Qu Feng nodded: "Hmm, you did a good job. I'll ask your prince for a reward for you later."

After hearing this, Yu bowed and clasped his hands, saying, "Thank you for thinking so highly of me, sir. Your arrival in the Land of Whirlpools with the elite ninjas of Konoha has relieved the prince of a great worry."

As he spoke, a hint of sadness crept into his voice—what a loyal servant.

"Don't worry, now that I'm here, the internal troubles of the Land of Whirlpools will be quelled in an instant!"

"Thank you, sir."

Yu turned around and continued leading the way, while Qu Feng watched his limping figure and smiled faintly, the smile vanishing in an instant.

And so, following the rain, they entered the village of Uzushiogakure, with the puppet behind them naturally bowing its head and following without making a sound.

However, from time to time, Qu Feng would control them to make them perform certain actions, pretending that they were real people.

Unless deliberately guided, no one will think they are puppets.

Upon entering the village, a sea of ​​red immediately caught Qu Feng's eye; the streets were filled with people with red hair, both men and women.

There are also many people with unusual hairstyles, who are probably foreigners who have married into the community or joined the family.

After all, intermarriage within the family is forbidden; otherwise, within a few generations, everyone in the family would become an idiot.

And this rain wasn't from the Whirlpool Clan either; the Whirlpool Clan doesn't have sky-blue hair.

When Qu Feng arrived, the people on the street were a little confused, wondering who he was. However, no one was on guard; they just looked on with a bit of curiosity, and no one dared to come forward.

"Don't worry, my lord, no one will offend you. I carry the eldest prince's token, and they all recognize me."

Qu Feng, looking impatient, waved his hand and said, "Of course I don't care about these things. Take me to your prince."

After hearing this, Yu obediently shut up, lowered her head, and walked forward.

Rokufu swaggered into Uzumaki Village and headed towards the Daimyo's residence under the watchful eyes of most of the Uzumaki clan members.

Given the current relationship between these princes, they definitely won't be living together.

Listening to the rain makes it clear that the eldest prince is now in charge of the Uzushio Ninja Village, and this eldest prince happens to be someone with some suspicious points.

By now, everyone should have found their prince.

Led by Yu, Torifu and his group headed towards the Daimyo's residence, where the sharp-eyed Uzumaki clan members recognized the Konoha emblem on Torifu's back.

The people from Konoha have come to Uzushiogakure, which means that the Land of Whirlpools is about to descend into chaos again.

The princes are constantly embroiled in conflict, and the daimyo has suddenly disappeared. Hopefully, this will not affect the continuation of the Land of Whirlpools.

These ordinary clansmen naturally cannot influence how the country operates; they can only hope that the ninjas of Konoha will remember the friendship of the older generation and contribute more.

Let's help this country get out of its current predicament.

The rain carried Qu Feng through several streets. With each street they passed, Qu Feng noticed that there were fewer and fewer people on the streets, but their clothes were becoming more and more luxurious.

Unexpectedly, even within the Vortex Clan, there are different ranks.

Chapter 264 The Eldest Prince

The rain carried Qu Feng through several streets. With each street they passed, Qu Feng noticed that there were fewer and fewer people on the streets, but their clothes were becoming more and more luxurious.

Unexpectedly, even within the Vortex Clan, there are different ranks.

"Are all the residents here nobles from the Land of Whirlpools?"

After hearing this, Yu turned around and said, "No, sir. There is no such thing as nobles in the Land of Whirlpools. The people living on this street are officials."

Qu Feng was speechless. What was the difference between this and the nobility? It was just a nicer way of putting it. Why did such a tiny country need so many officials?

However, this is an internal problem of that country and has nothing to do with us. The Land of Fire also has this situation.

However, the daimyo and his ilk didn't have much real power, so as long as they didn't do anything particularly outrageous, they were left to their own devices.

After all, the official ruler of the country is still the daimyo, and the Hokage is just a subordinate of the daimyo.

But everyone knows the real situation; they're just maintaining a facade of peace.

Before long, Yu led Qu Feng and his party to a very luxurious mansion.

The outer wall was engraved with various inscriptions and secret techniques. Qu Feng didn't understand these, but he could sense the chakra contained within them.

It might be some kind of sealing technique used for defense.

After all, it's Daming Prefecture, so it's understandable that this would make things safer.

There are two Hannya masks painted on the gate of the mansion, a custom of the Uzumaki clan, which is quite interesting.

However, there was no time to admire the gate. Yu went up and told the guard, and then walked over to Qu Feng.

"My lord, let's go in. The eldest prince has been waiting for a long time."

Toki responded and then followed Ame into the daimyo's mansion in the Land of Whirlpools.

As soon as he stepped through the door, he felt a sudden pressure, and the flow of chakra was somewhat suppressed.

However, this doesn't seem to have much effect on wind manipulation; it only appears to suppress ninjas below the Kage level.

If Hiruzen and Kagami were to come, their strength would likely be suppressed by one-third.

"My lord, it is normal to feel pressure. This is a sealing technique that Lord Ashina inscribed to ensure the safety of the Daimyo's residence."
