Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

The eldest prince shook his head: "Honored guest, you may not know, but my second brother is an ordinary person and cannot cultivate ninjutsu. The title of Daimyo is synonymous with the clan leader, and the clan leader must be a powerful ninja, so..."

Needless to say, Torifu already understood that it wasn't just the Uzumaki clan; every ninja clan in the entire ninja world was like this.

It's impossible to let an ordinary person become the clan leader; that would be extremely irresponsible to the entire clan.

At this point, the eldest prince shook his head with great regret: "If my second brother hadn't been unable to cultivate, I definitely wouldn't be as good as him. He's so intelligent."

"Your Highness, there is no need to underestimate yourself. Being smart does not mean you can be a good ninja. It would be good to be your right-hand man and offer you advice."

After being comforted by Qu Feng, the eldest prince felt much better: "What you say is true, esteemed guest. This may be the fate of my brother and me."

Although the eldest prince did not make a good impression on Qu Feng at first meeting, he was somewhat overtly aggressive, even to the point of being pretentious.

After chatting for a while, Qu Feng could sense that the eldest prince seemed to have some real skills, though not many.

"This is the last thing, Your Highness. Do you know where Lord Ashina is now?"

The eldest prince looked troubled upon hearing this: "It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that I don't know where my father is either."

"Kushina has already arrived in Konoha Village. I suppose she has told you about what happened that day."

Chapter 266 Your Highness, please take care.

The eldest prince looked troubled upon hearing this: "It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that I don't know where my father is either."

"Kushina has already arrived in Konoha Village. She must have told you about what happened that day."

Torifu nodded: "That's right, she said that Lord Ashina met with you and the Second Prince before he disappeared."

The eldest prince sighed: "Well, that's how it is. Because Father is getting old, he's discussing the matter of succession with us."

He then added, "Father wanted me to be his heir, with my second brother assisting me. We both agreed, but at the last minute, Father suddenly went mad!"

"Have they gone mad?"

How could a Kage-level powerhouse like Ashina Uzumaki suddenly go insane for no reason?

"Yes, Father was all smiles, but he suddenly went crazy, tied us both up with a lock, and ran away."

"With the help of his men, my second brother broke free first. I told him to go find our father immediately, but by the time he reached the beach, our father had already disappeared."

"I only saw Kushina leave by boat, so he must have sent her to Konoha."

This was somewhat unexpected; did things really develop this way?

Qu Feng thought that the eldest and second princes had joined forces to force the emperor to abdicate.

The eldest prince was extremely frustrated and helpless at this moment. Judging from his expression and eyes, he was not lying, unless he was a very good at pretending.

"Prince, do not be discouraged. I have come here to help you find your father."

Upon hearing what Qu Feng said, the eldest prince immediately stood up, walked up to Qu Feng, and excitedly took his hand.

"Honorable guest, I am truly powerless to help you. The brothers don't trust each other anymore, so we can't sit down and have a proper talk. I can only rely on you."

Takefusa grasped the eldest prince's hand and patted it gently: "Don't worry, Konoha and Uzushiogakure are allies, and my subordinates and I will do our utmost."

"Thank you! Thank you!"

The eldest prince was overjoyed, his previous dejection vanished, and he was full of energy again.

"Someone, bring the meal."

At a command, several maids brought steaming hot food to Qu Feng's side and then carefully placed it on the table.

"Honored guest, these are specialties of our Whirlpool Country, specially prepared to entertain distinguished guests. Please try them and see if they suit your taste."

Another group of palace maids arrived, carrying food and placing it on the eldest prince's table.

"please"

"please"

Looking at the various dishes on the table in front of him, Qu Feng didn't know where to start. The scallops looked good, so he picked one up and put it in his mouth.

The taste is excellent, quite in line with local flavors, and feels similar to the taste of the restaurants in Yuhai Village.

However, the added fruity sweetness makes it even tastier.

Perhaps the promise to fetch the wind had put the eldest prince at ease, and the conversation turned into a long reunion.

He recounted his father's alliance with the Senju clan many times, and also mentioned that he was always thinking about his aunt.

His words were full of praise for Konoha.

Qu Feng let these words go in one ear and out the other, focusing intently on enjoying his delicious food.

How old is he? He's only in his forties, almost fifty. His master's wife has been married to him for many years.

Back then, he was just a little kid. What feelings could he possibly have for an aunt he hadn't seen for thirty or forty years?

It's simply a matter of wanting to get closer to Qu Feng.

Taking advantage of the situation, the two of them praised each other to the skies.

In the end, even the eldest prince became a little embarrassed and could only cover up his lack of words by drinking.

"We have been talking for a long time, but we still don't know the name of our distinguished guest."

"Kunjō Tōfū, an elite Jonin from Konoha Village."

After hearing this, the eldest prince combed Torifu's hair and then picked up a cup of wine: "Lord Torifu, you have the strength of an elite Jonin at such a young age. I really have to thank Uncle Tobirama for sending me such a good talent."

"Your Highness is too kind."

After saying that, the two drank it all in one gulp.

The wine tastes sweet; it must be made from some kind of fruit. I've never tasted wine like this in Konoha before.

The two had been chatting for quite a while and showed no signs of drunkenness, so it seemed the alcohol content was relatively low.

"These days, all the things that have happened in this country have really put me under a lot of pressure. Now I can finally understand my father's hard work. Fortunately, with my second brother's help, we have managed to get through it."

"The eldest prince seems to be a little drunk."

He waved his hand after hearing this: "How can this kind of wine make you drunk? It's just a sigh. Of all these brothers, only my second brother believed me in the end."

Qu Feng had somewhat figured out the eldest prince's personality; he always liked to lament the passing of spring and the coming of autumn, and he was fond of all sorts of sighs.

This is different from taking the wind.

About half an hour later, the banquet came to an end, and there was nothing left on the table.

The eldest prince couldn't continue the conversation: "Honored guest, you must be exhausted from your long journey. I'll send someone to take you to rest. Your lodgings have already been prepared."

He clapped his hands, and a little maid walked to Qu Feng's side, bowing slightly: "My lord, please come with me."

Qu Feng nodded to the eldest prince, then beckoned the puppets to follow him.

After Qu Feng left the reception room with the maid, Yu gently pushed open the door and walked in.

After the servants left, the maids immediately came in and cleaned up all the dishes from the banquet.

The entire reception room was restored to its original state before Feng arrived.

At this moment, the eldest prince was pinching his head, and his expression looked very uncomfortable.

Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, he looked up and saw Yu carrying a bowl of herbal soup toward him.

"It's raining. What were you doing just now?"

Yu smiled and said, "I just went to brew medicine for the eldest prince. Your headaches are a chronic problem."

The eldest prince smiled upon hearing this: "Yes, it's time to take your medicine. This headache is really bothersome."

Yu brought the medicine to the eldest prince and handed him the bowl.

She smiled as she watched the eldest prince drink the medicine in one gulp, then handed him a handkerchief to wipe his mouth.

After drinking the herbal medicine, the eldest prince's headache was relieved a lot, and his brows relaxed.

He stood up, stretched, and paced around the hall a few times.

"Oh, right, it's raining."

"What are your orders, Your Highness?"

"I think someone just came by. Was that you?"

Yu bowed and smiled at the eldest prince: "Yes, Your Highness, no one else has come this morning except for me."

The eldest prince scratched his head, feeling that something was strange, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

"I'm a little tired, I'll go back to my palace to rest first."

"Your Highness, walk slowly."

Chapter 267 The Rogue Ninja Squad

The eldest prince scratched his head, feeling that something was strange, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

"I'm a little tired, I'll go back to my palace to rest first."

"Your Highness, walk slowly."

Watching the eldest prince's departing figure, Yu's face remained expressionless.

However, he still bent down to tidy up the table, and then took out the bowl that had just contained the medicine.

Led by a maid, Qu Feng arrived at a small mansion next to the Daming Mansion.

"My lord, this is a residence in our Land of Whirlpools specially reserved for distinguished guests. It is located next to the Daimyo's residence to show our respect for you."

Qu Feng nodded. This place looked like a miniature version of the Daming Mansion, complete with all kinds of facilities, but all of them were of a lower standard than the Daming Mansion.

That's only right, since they are the hosts, and no matter how distinguished the guest is, they cannot overstep their bounds.

"Thank you, I can do the rest myself."

The maid bowed slightly: "Yes, sir, then I will take my leave."

Qu Feng smiled and waved goodbye to her before stepping into the mansion.

The basic layout remains the same: fishpond, flowers, bamboo grove. After passing through all these, I arrived at the place where I was to stay.
