Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

"Can't you be serious for once, you old man?!"

Ashina coughed awkwardly twice after hearing this: "How is Mito? We haven't seen each other for a long time."

Qu Feng said irritably, "Master's wife is doing very well. She uses the Yin Seal to preserve her youth, and she still looks young."

Ashina reminisced after hearing this: "She loved beauty since she was a child, and it must have taken a lot of effort to develop the Yin Seal to such an effect."

"As her older brother, in order to establish relations with the Senju clan, I arranged for her to marry Hashirama without her consent... Fortunately, she is now living a happy and fulfilling life, which makes me feel a little better."

But Torifu looked at Ashina with a helpless expression: "Hey old man, can you please stop eating like crazy when you're being sentimental? This is your third bowl of rice already!"

Sometimes I really want to call the police.

Ashina scratched his head: "Don't worry about the details. Since you're Hashirama's disciple, please say hello for me when you go back. It's been a long time since we brothers have seen each other, and we may never have the chance to meet again in this lifetime."

"Don't worry, I'll pass on the message. By the way, you're planning to abdicate anyway, and you're no longer going to concern yourself with the affairs of the Land of Whirlpools. Why don't you just move to Konoha?"

Ashina's eyes lit up upon hearing this: "That's a great idea! How come I didn't think of that! After you defeat that rain, I'll go back with you!"

The second prince, sitting opposite Ashina, was somewhat at a loss. How could this guy have kidnapped his father in less than an hour? Is no one going to do anything about it?

Ashina's eyes lit up upon hearing this: "That's a great idea! How come I didn't think of that! After you defeat that rain, I'll go back with you!"

The second prince, sitting opposite Ashina, was somewhat at a loss. How could this guy have kidnapped his father in less than an hour? Is no one going to do anything about it?

"By the way, Ashina-senpai, do you know who's impersonating that second prince outside?"

Ashina shook his head after hearing this: "I don't know, and I know very little about things here."

The fact that the fake second prince's guards could ignore the rain's control indicates that he was also a Kage-level ninja.

But what was their reason for coming to the Land of Whirlpools?

Qu Feng didn't quite understand all of this. He hadn't recovered from the severe mental trauma he suffered, and he would still experience pain when he overworked his brain.

"Don't think about those things, young man. Focus on healing your injuries first. You still have a tough battle ahead of you. Although my strength has declined somewhat, I will still lend you a hand."

Qu Feng was surprised to find that the old man's previous frivolity was all an act; he turned out to be quite righteous when it mattered most.

"Thank you very much, senior."

Ashina Uzumaki waved his hand: "I'm just helping myself. After all, that's my country, and my stupid sons are still being controlled."

After quickly eating a few bites, Torifu stood up and bowed slightly to the Second Prince and Ashina: "Thank you for saving me, Ashina-senpai, and thank you for the lunch, Your Highness."

The father and son smiled at each other and then waved their hands: "No need to be polite, go and rest. Getting well is the most important thing."

Upon hearing this, Torifu nodded and walked towards Ashina's room, then went inside and closed the door.

The second prince cleared away the leftover food on the table and sat down on the sofa.

"Father, are you going to intervene too?"

Ashina replied, "Of course, we can't let that kid deal with so many people by himself. Although I'm old, I'm still useful, so I have to lend him a hand."

The second prince sighed. If he had the talent to be a ninja, he would definitely have gone to help! After all, it concerned the lives of his entire clan.

My father is so old and still has to fight, while I can only wait here. I feel really ashamed.

"The Land of Whirlpools will see the dawn, but everything depends on this future Third Hokage of Konoha."

"After all, he was Hashirama's disciple, so it's only natural that he became the Third Hokage."

Ashina Uzumaki took a sip of tea and didn't continue speaking.

"The tea's gone cold, pour me a fresh cup."

Upon hearing this, the second prince immediately got up and went to pour tea for Ashina Uzumaki.

Ashina's gaze remained fixed on the television, watching the imposing and spirited 'Hashirama' on screen, and he seemed to recall his own youthful days.

"I'm getting old, I'm getting old."

Inside the room, Qu Feng was resting on the bed, and the pain in his head was gradually subsiding.

However, according to his estimate, it would take at least four or five days for the injury to fully recover.

Mental injuries should not be underestimated. Na Yu's ninjutsu specializes in targeting the mind, and it would be bad if you were to be controlled by him if you were not careful.

Take a breath to clear your mind and suppress your thoughts.

And so I gradually drifted off to sleep.

Four days later, in the early morning, Qu Feng got out of bed. Although the room was a bit damp, it was still very warm with the fireplace burning continuously.

For the past four days, Qu Feng has been resting quietly and has been looking for some items in the system shop that can heal mental injuries.

He has now fully recovered, and has even benefited from the misfortune by gaining a significant increase in mental strength.

As Fuyu pushed open the door, Ashina and his son were having breakfast.

"Senior, we are setting off today."

Ashina Uzumaki waved his hand: "Of course I know, but we need to eat first."

Then he gestured for Feng to sit down: "There's no rush. Let's fill our stomachs first. He's right there and won't run away."

Unable to dissuade Ashina, Toki no longer obeyed and sat down to eat breakfast.

The second prince smiled, but Qu Feng could see the worry hidden in his eyes: "Qu Feng, I'm entrusting this to you this time. If my father encounters any danger, please help him if you are able to."

"Of course, if something were to happen to Senior Ashina, I wouldn't be able to explain it to my master and mistress."

Uzumaki Ashina glared at his son, annoyed. "Is your dad that weak? I'm a Kage-level ninja, don't underestimate me."

The second prince gave a helpless, bitter smile.

Torifu was in a hurry and finished his breakfast in a few big bites. Just then, Ashina also finished eating, and Torifu pulled him to leave.

"Hey! Why are you pulling me? There's no door here!"

Qu Feng was a little stunned after hearing this. It seemed to make sense. He had been here for so many days and had forgotten to ask how he got here.

Uzumaki Ashina rubbed his wrist: "You've almost broken my old bones. Move aside, I'll prepare my ninjutsu."

After taking a few steps back, Toruka saw Ashina's somewhat withered hands rapidly forming hand seals, so fast that Toruka could no longer make out what the seals were with the naked eye.

Then a red light appeared at the feet of the swirling Ashina, which seemed to be the shape of a magic circle.

"Come in quickly, we're leaving."

Upon hearing this, Toru Kaze entered the magic circle. Ashina turned to his son and said, "Take good care of the house and wait for your father to return."

The second prince nodded, then waved to Torifu and Ashina: "Father, Lord Torifu, please be careful."

The next second, the red light disappeared, leaving only a remnant magic circle on the ground. The wind and vortex of Ashina had vanished.

On a rocky beach somewhere in the Land of Whirlpools, a red beam of light flashed by, and Torifu and Ashina were teleported there.

This instantaneous teleportation ninjutsu amazed Toki: "Senior's ninjutsu is so powerful, it can actually teleport instantly."

Ashina waved his hand: "It's nothing special. It's just a pre-set node, a life-saving ninjutsu to prevent accidents."

"You were just lucky that day. When you escaped to Daming Prefecture, you happened to enter the range of the node I set up, which allowed me to pull you into that small house."

Qu Feng nodded upon hearing this, realizing that this was the principle behind it.

"I'm going to find them. Lord Ashina, please come with me."

Ashina shook his head after hearing this: "No need. That rain must have caught the light from my spell. It will come looking for us. This place is quite spacious; it's a battlefield I specifically chose."

Qu Feng looked around and said, "But this is the seaside, which is very favorable for rain."

“The Land of Whirlpools is a small island in the sea, so it is advantageous to him no matter where he is. It would be much more difficult for him to deal with him if he were in the jungle.”

Chapter 278 The war begins

Qu Feng looked around and said, "But this is the seaside, which is very favorable for rain."

“The Land of Whirlpools is a small island in the sea, so it is advantageous to him no matter where he is. It would be much more difficult for him to deal with him if he were in the jungle.”

Ashina's words made sense; in a wide open space, one could anticipate the rain's spell and take steps to defend against it.

However, there are too many obstacles in the jungle, making it easy for him to be hit by his ninjutsu.

After saying that, Ashina sat cross-legged on a relatively flat rock: "Wait, they'll be here soon."

Inside the residence of the Second Prince of Uzushio Ninja Village.

The imposter second prince sat upright in a chair, with no one serving him. Everyone on the island was under the control of the rain, including the maids in the mansion.

"Are you confident you can snatch the wind from the clouds from which rain?"

"I am the imposter second prince," the imposter asked.

The guard beside him still wore an iron mask, revealing no expression whatsoever: "Of course, his magic is ineffective against me."

The second prince looked at the guard: "You said the same thing when you first came to the island, but in the end you still lost to him. Your mission to control Ashina Uzumaki to get close to Hashirama Senju has failed, but the appearance of the Cloud Wind is an opportunity."

"If you get nothing and have to slink back, I don't need to tell you how the adults will punish you."

Upon hearing this, the iron-faced guard turned to the second prince and said, "Of course, you don't need to say anything more. You just need to shut your mouth and take notes!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful burst of chakra erupted from the guard, and his eyes instantly turned crimson!

Three black chains intertwined at the pupils, revealing a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan.

Are you going to kill me, friend?

"Shut your mouth and just watch. See how I turn Yun Zhong Qu Feng into my puppet."

"I'll see."

At that moment, a red beam of light could be clearly seen flashing across the horizon.

"You couldn't hold back so quickly!" The guard sneered and instantly left the mansion, rushing towards the pillar of light.

Yu, who was in Daming Prefecture, also saw the red pillar of light.

"It seems this mission will soon be completed perfectly. Using the wind from the clouds as a vessel for the reincarnation of an adult is simply perfect."

Then a strange smile appeared on his face: "Let's go, let's catch him!"
