Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

Yu smiled and said, "It's like this, Your Highness. You've been sleeping a lot this past month, and there are some things you may have forgotten. Let me remind you."

The eldest prince closed his eyes, enjoying the massage from the rain: "Go ahead and tell me, I'm listening."

"Your father disappeared a month ago, and Prince Hachiji also suddenly committed suicide. You wrote to Konoha for help, and they sent an elite Jonin named Kumo no Torifu..."

Yu's voice was gentle, like listening to music playing on a vinyl record; her words rose and fell in a measured way, making people feel very relaxed.

She recounted everything that had happened in the past month to the eldest prince in an orderly manner.

Strangely, the eldest prince showed no reaction whatsoever to news of his father's disappearance and his brother's death.

If anyone could still resist these ever-present whispers, they would see that the eldest prince's expression was utterly blank, his eyes as black as two black holes.

Rain's hands were emitting faint blue fluorescence, like layers of ocean waves surrounding the Great Prince's head.

His eyes also emitted a blue light, and several fish-like scales appeared on his arms, but disappeared in an instant.

"Three days from now, you will gather your brothers for a Uzumaki clan assembly, the purpose of which is to resolve the conflict between the brothers..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the light surrounding the eldest prince's head, like waves, exploded! A dreamlike blue light swept across the entire hall, and the flickering lights inside instantly went out, leaving only the electric lights still on.

A moment later, the blue light faded, and Yu gently snapped her fingers, and the candlelight reignited.

A few minutes later, the maids were the first to wake up.

"His Highness the Crown Prince has had too much to drink. Let's take him back to rest first."

The maid bowed and said, "Yes, Your Excellency."

He then went out and summoned two guards, who carried the eldest prince into a sedan chair and escorted him back to his bedchamber.

The main hall was brightly lit, while it was pitch black outside.

It stood out starkly in the boundless darkness.

Yu walked slowly to the entrance of the main hall, and in a few quick movements, she arrived at the roof of the main hall.

He rolled up his sleeves and touched his skin: "It's a bit dry, it should rain."

As soon as he finished speaking, a light drizzle began to fall from the sky.

Chapter 272 Gathering Action

Yu walked slowly to the entrance of the main hall, and in a few quick movements, she arrived at the roof of the main hall.

He rolled up his sleeves and touched his skin: "It's a bit dry, it should rain."

As soon as he finished speaking, a light drizzle began to fall from the sky.

Just as I returned to the mansion to get some fresh air, I suddenly noticed a light drizzle starting to fall outside the window.

I walked to the door and caught a few drops of rain in my hand to feel them. It was just ordinary rain, and I didn't sense any strange chakra in it. It was probably just an ordinary rain.

Rainfall is normal on islands like this...maybe.

It's so dark, we can't even take out a sample to check if someone is playing tricks.

We'll have to talk about it tomorrow.

With puppets guarding the door, Qu Feng can sleep peacefully without fear of being ambushed.

The night passed just like that, and the next morning, Qu Feng woke up from his sleep.

The morning sunlight streamed into the room through the window; it looked like a nice day.

After a quick wash, Qu Feng opened the door and found a lot of water standing in the yard.

"I didn't expect the rain to be so heavy."

With a casual wave of his hand, a burst of fire appeared, evaporating all the accumulated water.

I need to tell Chiri about the intelligence I discovered yesterday today. It would be best if the rest of them met before the gathering.

About two hours later, Qufeng felt that Zhili should have finished tidying up, so he communicated with her through the mark.

"Zhili, are you ready? I have something to tell you."

While taking a walk in the village, Zhili felt a slight warmth on the mark on his arm, and then heard the sound of wind.

Zhili said softly, "I'm taking a walk in the village. I'll go back to the house first."

After saying that, Zhili immediately returned to her residence, closed all the doors and windows, and after confirming that no one was listening in, she contacted Qu Feng.

"Okay, are you coming over?"

As soon as Zhili finished asking the question, a point of light flew out of the mark and transformed into the shape of a wind-collecting creature in the room.

"Good morning, Zhili. Did I interrupt your shopping trip?"

Zhili rolled her eyes at him: "We're here on a mission, stop teasing me. Tell me what important intelligence you've obtained? Why are you here so early in the morning?"

Toru gave an awkward laugh, then sat down on a chair and told Chiri about what happened last night and his guesses.

"You mean, the eldest prince is being controlled by Yu, the one beside him?"

Qu Feng nodded: "That's right. When the two of them are present at the same time, the eldest prince speaks while Yu remains still in one position, and when Yu speaks, the eldest prince will return to his original position."

Upon hearing this, Chiri gasped. So, Torifumi had been dealing with some kind of rain all day yesterday? The eldest prince had no idea that Torifumi had come to Konoha?

Even the letters that were sent out might not have been written by the eldest prince.

"Does that mean we can be certain that the rain is the culprit?"

Hearing Zhili say this, Qufeng also shook his head: "I can't be sure. Actually, that's what makes me suspicious. I always feel that he deliberately exposed it to me."

Zhili wasn't very good at these complicated things, and she really disliked using her brain. In the past, she would just do whatever the wind decided.

But today, Zhili has some ideas.

"The Whirlpool Gathering will be held in two days, and Yu will definitely be involved. What if we expose him at the meeting and let everyone see that he has been manipulating the eldest prince all along? Would that work?"

He then added, "According to the Seventh Prince, he doesn't have any villainous intentions. He's just very disappointed in his eldest brother. But once he learns that the eldest prince is being manipulated, he definitely won't continue to cause trouble. Then, he can take down the other princes one by one, and the rebellion will be resolved."

Tori looked at Chiri with surprise, as if he had discovered something rare.

"I never expected that Zhili would be able to analyze the situation."

Chiri wiped her nose with a cool air: "Of course, I'm the young lady of the Uchiha clan! I usually just interact with you as an ordinary person."

Based on the clues we have so far, Zhili's method is actually not bad, but we are afraid that some other unexpected changes may occur.

But this can't go on forever. If things don't progress, they'll just stay stuck here. Rallies can't be held every day, and we might have to wait several weeks for the next one.

This is the only method we can try.

"Okay, then I'll do as you say. I'll find an opportunity to inform Hiruzen and the others."

Chiri was overjoyed to learn that her method had been adopted: "Okay, then let's act according to the situation at the rally."

"Okay, then I'll be going now. I remember that Sister Xiaochun and Brother Yan live relatively close to you, so you can go and inform them."

Upon hearing this, Zhili snapped his fingers: "No problem, leave it to me."

Seeing Zhili's enthusiasm, Qufeng smiled slightly, then transformed into a point of light and flew into the mark.

The next second, he appeared in his house.

"The gathering in two days... I have a bad feeling about it. I hope everything goes smoothly. I'll go home as soon as it's over. Minato is waiting for me."

Although he had just met with Chiri, his mission was not yet over, and he could not rest for the time being.

After activating the Concealing Breath technique, he transformed into a thin wisp of cloud and flew off towards the direction where Hiruzen was.

He also needed to inform his companions about Chiri's plan and ask them what intelligence they had received.

But as Torifu had predicted, Hiruzen and his men did not obtain any useful information.

They were basically the same as those in Zhili; they had no intention of rebelling. After all, none of them aspired to the position of daimyo, and with so many brothers, they couldn't escape the fate of the daimyo anyway.

However, all of this was because the eldest and second princes suddenly became interested in the position of daimyo, which disgusted the other princes, and then the incident of Ashina Uzumaki's disappearance occurred.

Only after that did they finally reach their breaking point and move out of Uzushio Ninja Village.

After noting down the general information, Qu Feng shared his intelligence with them and reiterated Zhi Li's plan.

No one objected to this, since they hadn't gained anything from the day, and now that there was a plan to break the calm, they naturally wanted to give it a try.

Even if they fail, no one will say anything about them as ninjas from Konoha who came to provide support; it's just that some people will lose face.

After finishing all these matters, Qu Feng finally returned to his residence. It was already three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and he had been busy all day.

Finally, he had a short break, and Qu Feng lay down on the bed and quickly fell asleep.

Chapter 273 Vortex Gathering

After finishing all these matters, Qu Feng finally returned to his residence. It was already three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and he had been busy all day.

Finally, he had a short break, and Qu Feng lay down on the bed and quickly fell asleep.

Two days later, the day of the rally arrived.

Today, the village of Uzushio is unusually lively, as the villagers all know that the princes who are away are returning to the village to hold a gathering.

Everyone hopes that this gathering will have a good outcome, allowing the princes to reconcile and return to Uzushio Ninja Village.

After all, we're all from the same family, and nobody wants their family to split into several gangs.

Unity is the only way for the Whirlpool Clan to achieve long-term development.

I just don't know where the old patriarch is now. If he were still alive, all these difficulties would be easily resolved.

"Lord Qufeng, are you awake yet?"

The maid knocked on the door of the room where the wind was drawn and asked softly.

Qu Feng walked to the door and pushed it open. The little maid immediately bowed and said, "Lord Qu Feng, please don't miss the gathering at noon today, but don't arrive early either."

Qu Feng nodded upon hearing this: "I certainly won't miss it, but why can't I arrive early?"

The maid smiled slightly: "This is the rule of our Whirlpool Clan. The Whirlpool Gathering is sacred and glorious, so it must be held at noon."

Since that's the case, we can only follow the local customs. After all, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. At worst, we can just go to the door a few minutes early and wait there before going in.

"In that case, I'll head back to report. The other princes will all be back today; it's sure to be a lively affair."
