Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

The eldest prince sighed helplessly after hearing this: "There's no other way, we have to make this clear. Father's disappearance has nothing to do with us! At this critical moment, we brothers should work together, not like this."

Throughout the entire event, Qu Feng listened quietly without saying much. After all, this was a family matter between the two brothers, and how they acted and stirred up emotions at the gathering was not something Qu Feng could interfere with.

His goal was to obtain more information in order to find out about Uzumaki Ashina.

"Lord Qufeng, I am so sorry. I got so engrossed in chatting with my brother that I neglected you. I will punish myself with a drink."

He then picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it all in one gulp.

Seeing this, Qu Feng waved his hand and said, "It's alright. I understand how the eldest prince feels right now. It's natural for brothers to talk things out when conflicts arise."

Upon seeing this, the eldest prince smiled and asked with a hint of curiosity, "Judging from what Lord Feng is saying, you also have brothers?"

"Having two brothers makes things easier for me."

The eldest prince was very envious after hearing this: "If we hadn't been born into this kind of family, we would probably have lived happily together forever. But there's nothing we can do about it; it's just fate."

The second prince also showed a helpless expression upon hearing this.

"Let's not talk about that anymore. Did Lord Torifu go for a stroll in the streets today? The Land of Whirlpools has quite a lot of things, and some of their specialties are never exported. Konoha Village probably doesn't have them."

After listening to Feng, he took a small sip of wine: "I went out quietly, not wanting to attract too much attention. There were indeed many things I had never seen before, but most of them were food, which I don't care much about."

"I see. That's a real shame. The industry in the Land of Whirlpools isn't very developed; they rely solely on importing and exporting agricultural products to survive."

The second prince then chimed in, "What you say is true, elder brother. Speaking of which, the various electrical appliances invented by Konoha Village have greatly improved life in the Land of Whirlpools. Almost every household has one."

"This guy named Santu Amado is really something else."

Qu Feng remained calm upon hearing this, and ate a couple of bites of food: "Indeed, Amado is quite a celebrity in the village. I've always wanted to meet him, but he's just too busy."

Upon hearing the words about taking the wind, a glint of shrewdness flashed in the eyes of the second prince, but it vanished in an instant.

"Oh? Even a ninja like Lord Torifu can't get a meeting with Amado?"

Upon hearing this, Toru Kaze waved his hand and said, "I'm just an ordinary elite Jonin, and I don't have much influence in the village."

Upon hearing this, the second prince immediately looked bewildered: "I apologize, Lord Qufeng, I truly meant no offense."

"it's okay no problem."

Qu Feng always felt uneasy chatting with the second prince, as if his lies had been exposed.

The second prince has never been to Konoha Village, so he probably wouldn't know about the Wind Chaser. Even if the Wind Chaser is famous in Konoha, his fame shouldn't have spread overseas.

"Lord Qufeng, you flatter me. My younger brother is always interested in what he sees and hears about the outside world. Amado is quite a celebrity now, and he's thinking of using your connections to meet him."

After listening, Qu Feng laughed and said, "I'm really sorry to have made His Highness the Second Prince look forward to nothing. My status and position are indeed not as good as Amado's."

The second prince's expression was slightly regretful, but he still managed a forced smile: "This has nothing to do with Lord Qufeng, it's my fault. I'll punish myself with a cup."

He then picked up his glass and drank it all in one gulp.

Qu Feng was quite speechless at this moment. Why did the people here punish themselves with a drink so easily?

It made even getting wind a little awkward, and I couldn't help but punish myself with a drink.

However, after chatting for a while, their conversation broadened and was no longer limited to matters concerning the Land of Whirlpools.

They started by talking about poetry and songs, and then moved on to the philosophy of life. Perhaps they had drunk a little too much as a self-punishment, because the two princes had lost the airs they had when they first met.

Just like the older brother next door.

However, Qu Feng did not open up to them, although on the surface he still drank and talked with them about everything.

But secretly, he was still carefully observing their facial expressions and movements.

During the conversation, I could feel a gaze on me every now and then when I tried to catch a whiff of wind.

There seemed to be anger in his eyes, but whenever Qu Feng looked up to search, the gaze would disappear instantly.

This made Qu Feng feel quite uncomfortable.

Besides the three of them, there were also the guards behind the second prince and the ninjas from the Land of Whirlpools hidden in the shadows in the banquet hall.

It's difficult to discern whose gaze it is, and the direction is nowhere to be found.

"How was your meal, Lord Qu Feng?"

Qu Feng gently placed his chopsticks on the plate: "Thank you for your hospitality, Your Highness. It's a very sumptuous meal, and I enjoy it very much."

"Haha, I'm glad you like it. If you want to eat it, just tell the maid."

He nodded in agreement.

The three chatted for a while longer, but it was getting too late, and it was time to rest.

"I had a very enjoyable chat with Lord Qufeng today, but you must be tired after traveling all this way, so I won't disturb your rest any longer."

The second prince stood up, cupped his hands in greeting to Qu Feng, and said, "Lord Qu Feng, please take care. My elder brother and I still have some official business to discuss, so we won't see you off."

Qu Feng waved his hand: "Of course, there's no need to see me off."

Then Qu Feng got up and left the main hall.

When I got to the door, I found Yu standing there with her head down, not saying a word.

Seeing this, Qu Feng looked at it curiously a few more times, but then suddenly looked up, smiled and said, "Lord Qu Feng, it's getting dark, please be careful."

This startled Qu Feng, and he was also a little embarrassed.

He could only scratch his head and pretend to ignore it as he walked towards his residence.

From an angle unseen by others, Qu Feng turned and looked at Yu, who was standing at the door.

What I noticed was that his posture, movements, and expression were exactly the same as before, without any change.

Chapter 271 Whispers in the Great Hall

From an angle unseen by others, Qu Feng turned and looked at Yu, who was standing at the door.

What I noticed was that his posture, movements, and expression were exactly the same as before, without any change.

"This rain is a big problem."

When we first arrived on the island, it suddenly rained, although we confirmed at the time that the rain did not contain any chakra.

But after that, Toru felt a mysterious chakra, which was very faint and could not be detected unless one had a very strong sense of perception.

Judging from the wind, it must have quietly covered the entire beach along with that rain.

They entered the Land of Whirlpools secretly. Although a battle took place on the beach, it was just dawn, and few people were still awake.

And this rain was waiting for him on the only road leading to the Uzushiogakure village.

That's why the wind took action to test the waters. If one were a ninja, the first thing they would do upon being injured would be to defend themselves or find a good position to minimize the damage.

But the rain withstood the blow from the wind without showing any displeasure.

He acted like a servant, with an extremely obsequious expression.

Although the Land of Whirlpools is divided into different classes, after taking a stroll through the streets, Torufu didn't find any official whose servants were so obsequious.

But all of this can be explained by the fact that Yu is a masochist. After all, with Hidan, a masochist, as a precedent, he didn't find Yu particularly suspicious.

Until tonight's incident, the eldest prince was having a pleasant chat with Qu Feng when Yu's voice suddenly came. The eldest prince was clearly stunned for a second, seemingly very puzzled.

But it disappeared in an instant.

Qu Feng initially thought he might be seeing things, but Yu's performance just now rekindled that thought in his mind.

By connecting all these events together, a conclusion can be drawn.

The person who has been in contact with the wind these past few days may not be the eldest prince, but rather someone controlled by the rain.

"Is it an illusion? But I've never seen someone who casts an illusion get trapped themselves."

It was not a good place to stay, lest he be discovered. Qu Feng transformed into a cloud and flew over the wall, returning to his residence.

After the wind left the damsunate, the rain's behavior suddenly changed.

He glanced at the spot where he had just taken the wind, and then his smile twisted into a grimace.

"You're indeed a smart one. You're the kind of person the adults need... I'm just a failure."

Then he reverted to a respectful demeanor.

At this moment, the second prince also came out of the hall.

"Respectfully seeing off His Highness the Second Prince."

The second prince didn't even glance at Yu, and walked straight towards the gate of the mansion.

After the second prince left, Yu tilted her head in confusion: "He's an interesting person too. Where did you come from? And what brought you here?"

"Rain! Rain! Where have you gone!"

The eldest prince's shouts came from inside the palace.

"I'm here! I'm here! What are your orders, Your Highness?"

Yu quickly jogged to the eldest prince's side and gently massaged his shoulders.

"I vaguely saw my second brother walk out of here just now. Does that mean my illness has worsened again?"

Yu tightened her grip slightly: "No, Your Highness, the doctor said that if you take your medicine on time, you'll get better soon."

The eldest prince slammed his fist on the table in anger: "I've been taking this medicine for almost a month now! Why is there absolutely no effect? ​​This medicine is so bitter and astringent, it's practically impossible to swallow! They're all a bunch of quacks!"

The eldest prince's face turned red, and the veins in his neck became slightly bulging.

Yu smiled slightly and kneaded and pressed the prince's temples with both hands.

"Your Highness is mistaken. In fact, you have only taken the medicine for two days."

The eldest prince frowned slightly upon hearing this: "Impossible, I remember it clearly, you came to the Land of Whirlpools a month ago, on that very day..."

“You really only took the medicine for two days, while I was taken in by you and have been serving you ever since…”

The sound of the rain was low and gentle, each word spoken sounding like a deep murmur.

The sound lingered in the hall like clouds and mist, refusing to dissipate for a long time.

The ninjas lurking in the shadows saw that things were not going well and were about to make their move! But upon hearing the sound of rain, they all briefly lost their senses, and the next second they all forgot what they had been planning to do.

"Of course I know. Is it necessary to repeat this again? I remember the day I met you very clearly, on the east coast of the Land of Whirlpools."
