Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

"And you? What news did you get?"

"Apart from Ashina's part, the rest are similar to yours. The Seventh Prince believes that the First Prince and the Second Prince joined forces to seize the position of Daimyo, which is why they left Uzushio Ninja Village."

Qu Feng nodded, then looked around the unfamiliar room.

The space is large, and the walls are inlaid with all kinds of pearls and seashells, creating a marine atmosphere.

There was also a pot of white coral, which looked like jade, placed on the bedside table in Chiri's room, which shows that the room was very luxurious.

"How is the Seventh Prince?"

Hearing Qu Feng ask this, Zhi Li had something to say: "I feel like he's the kind of prince who's just taking advantage of the situation. Anyway, his words were full of disappointment with the eldest prince, but he clearly didn't have the urge to rebel. He just chose to leave."

"It's too early to tell. After all, we just met, and there's bound to be some pretense. Let's observe for a few more days."

After hearing this, Zhili nodded and replied, "Of course."

Then, looking unhappy, he said, "Don't underestimate me, okay? I'm an elite Jonin from Konoha Village, so I have some ability."

Qu Feng nodded noncommittally: "Of course, I have never doubted your abilities, I was just worried about your safety."

Zhili snorted, still sounding fierce, but secretly she was quite pleased with herself.

"By the way, won't you be discovered if you come here?"

Qu Feng waved his hand: "It's alright, I left the puppet there."

Upon hearing what Chiri said, Torifu suddenly remembered the story of those rogue ninja from Kirigakure.

"I ran into that ninja's companion from this morning while I was sleeping, but I killed him with my clone. You should be careful too, I don't know if there are any remnants."

After hearing this, Zhili nodded in agreement. Although the person was not particularly troublesome, caution was still necessary, as carelessness was the worst thing a ninja could do.

"They must have seen you in Uzushio Ninja Village, which is why they chose you as their target. I sneaked in, so there shouldn't be any problems, right?"

Qu Feng shook his head: "It's hard to say. Who knows who hired the assassin? Maybe it's the Seventh Prince, maybe it's the First Prince. It's all uncertain. It's best to be careful."

"I understand."

The two then talked for a long time, about everything from everyday trifles to information about the Uzushiogakure incident, and they were very engrossed in their conversation.

Before they knew it, they had lost track of time. When they came to their senses, they realized that the sun was about to set.

Chapter 269 The Second Prince

The two then talked for a long time, about everything from everyday trifles to information about the Uzushiogakure incident, and they were very engrossed in their conversation.

Before they knew it, they had lost track of time. When they came to their senses, they realized that the sun was about to set.

"It's getting late, I'm going home now. Be careful on your own. Let's meet up sometime."

"Okay, you should also be careful."

Just as Qu Feng was about to transform into a beam of light and enter the mark on Zhi Li's arm, he suddenly remembered something.

"Are you aware that the eldest prince will be holding a meeting with his brothers in three days?"

After hearing this, Zhili nodded: "I already know. The Seventh Prince told me right away, and I will also be there to ensure his safety."

"Okay, there might be situations that affect the mission in three days, or nothing might happen. In any case, we need to be prepared."

After saying this, Qu Feng twisted his body and turned into a point of light, entering the mark.

The sudden disappearance left Zhili feeling a little uneasy, but then she suddenly felt extremely hungry.

So he left the house to go find something to eat.

At this moment, a slight fluctuation appeared in the space inside the mansion where Qu Feng lived. Then, a point of light appeared from it, which kept rotating and eventually transformed into the shape of Qu Feng.

"Phew, space travel is really quite amazing."

Previously, the task of obtaining wind was always accomplished by puppets, but experiencing it firsthand this time was quite different.

I could vaguely hear footsteps coming from outside, but they were stopped by my puppet.

Upon opening the door, he discovered it was the maid who had led him there.

"My lord, the eldest prince invites you to dinner."

Qu Feng nodded: "I understand, I'll go right away."

He then said to the puppets around him, "You all stay here and guard the area. If you get hungry, eat some dry rations."

The eight puppets nodded and bowed, naturally without complaint.

But this action made the little maid secretly complain a few times in her heart.

'This gentleman looks so refined and distinguished, I never expected him to treat his subordinates so poorly. What a miserable life!'

However, he still smiled and said, "Sir, this way please."

Qu Feng was unaware that his actions had already left a huge "X" on his image in the mind of the maid before him.

But even if they knew, they would just laugh it off.

"Aren't we going to the room from this morning?"

The maid shook her head: "Of course not, sir. The eldest prince is hosting a banquet for you in the main hall tonight; this morning was just the reception room."

Qu Feng simply said "oh" without any further comment.

The maidservant shut up and continued leading the way, not surprised by Qu Feng's attitude. After all, he was an adult from Konoha Village who must have seen a lot of the world.

After passing through a bushy path, Qu Feng arrived at a house that was completely different from the ones he had seen before, or rather, a palace.

"Good heavens, so this is the real Daming Prefecture."

This style is completely different from the house in the morning; it has a very distinctive Uzushiogakure (Vortex Country) feel, with various masks neatly arranged on the walls.

At the very center of the roof ridge, there is a huge bronze statue of Prajna, and all the lights are suspended in mid-air by iron chains.

However, these only serve a decorative purpose; what truly makes this hall brightly lit is the use of lamps.

The maid led the wind-bringer to the entrance of the main hall.

"Lord Yu, our distinguished guest has arrived."

Yu responded and then said to Qu Feng, "Lord Qu Feng, please come into the palace for your meal."

After taking a deep breath and letting out a shower, he looked into the palace and saw the eldest prince sitting on the high throne, like an emperor.

However, he didn't seem to be in a particularly good state. He kept covering his head and looking around.

He seems quite different from the composed prince I saw this morning.

At this moment, Yu bowed again and said, "Lord Qufeng, please enter the hall."

Although something felt off, we were already at the door, and it would be impolite not to go in.

“Very well, the eldest prince has invited me to a banquet, I’m really looking forward to it.”

With Yu's standard smile, Qu Feng walked into the store.

At this moment, he noticed that the eldest prince had suddenly changed his appearance again, completely different from before, with a joyful smile on his face.

"Lord Qufeng has arrived. Please have a seat."

Qu Feng sat down in his seat, a place where the eldest prince looked like a subject looking at an emperor.

I don't know if it was carefully designed or what, but Qu Feng doesn't mind. Anyway, sitting here won't hurt him, and sitting higher than him doesn't mean he's really his subordinate.

The eldest prince raised a cup of wine and bowed to Qu Feng, saying, "Lord Qu Feng, please forgive my rudeness. My headache just flared up, and I was a little impolite. Please don't take offense."

Qu Feng also raised his wine glass in a gesture of greeting, and smiled slightly: "It's alright, but headaches are not easy to cure. Does the eldest prince have a solution?"

The eldest prince said with a wry smile, "It's an old problem. I've had it since I was ten years old, and it's still going on."

Good heavens, this pain has lasted for over forty years. What kind of disease can be so stubborn that it cannot be cured for over forty years?

With a gentle wave of his hand, Qu Feng sent a beam of green light flying from his hand and into the eldest prince's head.

The ninjas hidden inside the shop, seeing this, thought that Qu Feng was going to assassinate him, and they all drew their swords, ready to kill him.

"Wait, Lord Qu Feng is healing me."

He then stood up and bowed to Qu Feng: "Thank you, sir. The pain has been relieved. Although it cannot be cured, thank you nonetheless."

Qu Feng frowned slightly. This was the strongest healing technique he had mastered, capable of curing almost any disease except those that were life-threatening. Yet it couldn't even cure a headache.

Just as the eldest prince was about to say something, his eyes suddenly became vacant, and just as Qu Feng was about to examine him closely...

The sound of rain could be heard outside the door: "His Highness the Second Prince has arrived."

The palace doors were slowly pushed open, and a red-haired man in a white robe walked in, followed by a guard wearing an iron mask.

"Big brother, it's so lively here. I'd like to come and ask for some food too."

When Qu Feng looked at the eldest prince again, the prince was perfectly normal, as if Qu Feng's dazed expression was just his imagination.

"Second brother, what are you saying? We are brothers, and Father has appointed us to oversee the country together. Of course you are free to come and go as you please."

The second prince smiled and bowed to the eldest prince.

Then his gaze turned to Tokifu: "This must be the distinguished guest who has come all the way from Konoha. Thank you for coming from so far away to help the Land of Whirlpools get out of this predicament."

"On behalf of all the Whirlpool Clan members, I would like to express my gratitude to you."

Chapter 270 Night Banquet

Then his gaze turned to Tokifu: "This must be the distinguished guest who has come all the way from Konoha. Thank you for coming from so far away to help the Land of Whirlpools get out of this predicament."

"On behalf of all the Whirlpool Clan members, I would like to express my gratitude to you."

Tokifu nodded to the second prince, indicating, "Second prince, there's no need for that. Konoha and Uzushiogakure are staunch allies, so it's only natural that we're here to help."

The second prince smiled slightly and then sat down opposite the one who was fetching the wind.

The eldest prince instructed the maid to serve the second prince a meal, and then chatted with the second prince.

"I heard that my second brother has been sick these past few days. He must take good care of himself and not miss the gathering in three days."

The second prince nodded: "It's just a minor illness, I'm almost better, it won't take any longer."

"But you, elder brother, are in such a hurry to hold a meeting that your younger brothers may still be reluctant to come."
