Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

Then the princes stepped forward one by one to express their gratitude to Qu Feng and his companions. If it weren't for Qu Feng and his friends' selfless act, they probably wouldn't be standing here now.

A few minutes later, the conversation ended, and Qu Feng and the others boarded the ship one by one to return to Konoha Village.

"This boat is definitely different; it doesn't have that fishy smell anymore."

Zhili laughed and said, "Of course, this is a warship from the Land of Whirlpools. It needs to be maintained every day. We are just taking advantage of Ashina-senpai's help."

Hiruzen replied earnestly, "In any case, the journey will be easier. This warship won't rock much while sailing on the sea, so it's less likely to cause seasickness."

Before long, the warships prepared to set sail, gradually leaving the port and heading towards the boundless sea.

Having resolved these troublesome matters in the Land of Whirlpools, Toru was in a pretty good mood. Although Uchiha Setsuna had escaped, they would meet again someday, and he wouldn't be able to escape so easily next time.

"Ah, I can finally go home. The journey to and from home, plus the mission, has kept me away from home for more than half a month."

Qu Feng nodded and smiled, "Yes, to be honest, we rarely take on missions that are this long. It feels quite novel."

At this moment, Hiruzen walked out of the cabin: "By the way, Torifu, you should be succeeding as the Third Hokage after you return to the village, right? You'll be very busy then."

It's better not to bring this up, because it gives me a headache. Why did they have to make me the Third Hokage? They were just giving them the fruit so that these older generation ninjas could continue to shine.

As a result, it actually gave them more time to enjoy life after retirement.

Moreover, given how popular Touko is in Konoha, the villagers would definitely be very supportive of him succeeding as the Third Hokage, and they wouldn't be able to refuse him even if they wanted to.

With a wry smile, Torifu said, "I never expected this mission to turn into my vacation? Tobirama-sama really cares about people."

Hiruzen patted Torifu's shoulder upon hearing this: "Hey, Master, don't you know his personality? The more you struggle, the happier he is, just like... cough cough, you get it."

Torifu agreed with Hiruzen's words, and it's worth mentioning that he didn't tell Hiruzen and the others about how Ame had infiltrated Konoha and subtly influenced Tobirama.

After all, the matter is in the past, and bringing it up again is pointless and would only damage Tobirama's image in their eyes.

Since Yu has already been killed, let's just leave this matter buried forever.

The group set off early in the morning and after a day's sailing, the warship arrived at Yuhai Village, where they had departed, after nightfall. However, it was already too late, and there was probably no place to stay in the village.

The group spent the night crammed onto the warship, and the next morning they left the small port village before the villagers had woken up.

The warships also silently sailed away from the port.

"Alright, let's quicken our pace and get back to Konoha Village as soon as possible."

"it is good!"

Then everyone sped up their pace. Although Uzumaki Ashina was old and his strength had declined somewhat.

But the speed is still quite fast, not lagging behind these young people at all.

Around four o'clock in the afternoon, the group returned to Konoha Village.

It's been so long since I've seen it, I really miss it. Even that somewhat dilapidated gate looks so familiar.

Upon seeing Torifu and his group return to the village, the guarding ninja immediately ran up to them: "Lord Torifu, you're back!"

Then he looked at Ashina behind him: "And who is this?"

Torifu first greeted the guards and then introduced Ashina's identity.

When he learned that the white-haired old man was the daimyo of the Land of Whirlpools, he immediately became somewhat flustered.

After all, this is Lady Mito's own brother!

Torifu patted him on the shoulder: "Alright, we can talk again when we have time. We're going to report to Lord Tobirama."

"Alright, sirs, please take care."

Ashina Uzumaki, who hadn't been to Konoha Village for decades, curiously observed everything in the village.

"I don't feel that the changes are particularly big. It's just that it has become more prosperous, with more high-rise buildings and new houses."

Toruka nodded: "That's right. Konoha Village has been expanding or renovating around its original appearance over the years, which is why there haven't been any major changes."

Along the way, the villagers greeted Toru and Hikigami, and their enthusiasm remained undiminished despite not having seen them for half a month.

Even Tokifumi couldn't imagine what the villagers would be like when he became the Third Hokage.

They arrived at the Hokage Building, where the guards had a brief conversation with Torifu and the others before letting them pass.

After all, they hadn't seen Qu Feng in a long time, so they were naturally curious about where he was going to carry out his mission.

When they arrived at the Hokage's office, they found that the door was not closed. After knocking, Toru and his companions went inside.

"Tobirama, it's been a long time."

"I sensed your presence a long time ago, Ashina-kun. You haven't changed much over the years."

Tobirama walked up to Ashina and gave him a hug. Ashina was puzzled because although Tobirama was much younger than him, he couldn't possibly be this young, could he?

Chapter 294 Grow Up Quickly

"I sensed your presence a long time ago, Ashina-kun. You haven't changed much over the years."

Tobirama walked up to Ashina and gave him a hug. Ashina was puzzled because although Tobirama was much younger than him, he couldn't possibly be this young, could he?

However, he suppressed his curiosity and did not ask about it.

"Well, brother, the fact that you came to Konoha means that the Land of Whirlpools has returned to normal, right?"

Ashina laughed and nodded: "Yes, yes, these kids have helped me a lot, especially the boy who takes the wind. Without him, we might be separated forever."

Tobirama frowned slightly upon hearing this. It's just a power struggle between a few princes, how could it be so serious?

He then looked at Tobirama, who understood what Tobirama meant and recounted to him everything that had happened since they landed on the island.

Tobirama remained silent after hearing this, never expecting such a huge mess to have occurred. Moreover, he wondered about the origins of that ninja named Rain, who was so powerful that he could control the entire Land of Whirlpools.

Although there were only a few thousand people, that was still incredibly impressive!

He had never seen such a powerful illusion before.

He then sighed, "Well, thankfully you didn't run into any trouble this time, otherwise I wouldn't know how to explain it to your master."

After taking a sip of his breath, Tobirama waved his hand dismissively: "It's alright, Tobirama-sama. If it weren't for this experience, I'm afraid I would still be complacent about my strength."

He was telling the truth, because Toru has always possessed memories of the Naruto world, and with his strength at this stage, he is already invincible; no one can harm him.

But little did I know that because of his existence, the world has changed a lot.

Many things he didn't understand happened.

However, this also served as a wake-up call for Qu Feng, who stopped being arrogant and complacent and realized he needed to continue to increase his strength.

They almost failed to deal with a single rain, so what if an even stronger opponent appears in the future?

"Yes, Master, we have truly witnessed this time that there are always people more capable than ourselves and that there is always something beyond our understanding."

"Thank you for your hard work, kids. I understand what happened. I'm awarding each of you a major commendation. This mission will count as three S-level missions."

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen and the others immediately smiled. Three S-rank records were the greatest honor for them, the heads of their clans.

It is especially useful when used to educate younger generations in the family or to highlight the great achievements of the clan leader.

The group chatted in the office for a while longer, after which Tobirama told Torifu and the others to go home, saying he wanted to catch up with Ashina.

Of course, Toki was delighted. He was the first to rush out of the Hokage Building and, after saying goodbye to Chiri, quickly ran towards the Cloud Clan's territory.

When I arrived at the door, I saw a little boy with yellow spiky hair squatting on the steps in front of the clan's land.

He was holding a small wooden stick and poking something on the ground.

With light, quick steps, he reached him in a few strides: "What are you doing, Minato? Why don't you go back to the courtyard?"

Minato was stunned when he heard the sound of wind being drawn, and then he trembled slightly.

Without looking up, she immediately hugged Qu Feng, seemingly sobbing slightly.

"Big brother, why are you only coming back now...it's been half a month."

Toru patted Minato's head: "The situation of the mission is a bit complicated, so it has been delayed for a while."

He then picked him up and took him back to the clan's territory.

Ah Bai, who was strolling in the yard, looked at Qu Feng and asked, "You're back?"

"Well, I'm back."

Ah Bai then walked away, having grown accustomed to it over the years.

However, Minato had only been in this house for a short time and was still quite dependent on Tofu, who was gone for half a month.

Minato was naturally somewhat uncomfortable and saddened.

Toru patted Minato on the back: "Alright, alright, I won't go out for so long next time. Even if there's a mission, I'll leave a clone at home."

Minato nodded, then wiped his eyes with his sleeve.

"You haven't eaten yet?"

Upon hearing the word "eat," Minato's stomach rumbled in response, making him blush slightly.

Qu Feng smiled, then whispered in Minato's ear, "Big brother will take you to eat barbecue, just the two of us, without your second brother."

Minato was tempted by the thought of barbecue, but he hesitated. Was it really okay not to bring his second brother?

“He’s so rich, let him eat by himself. It’s just the two of us today. I’m the older brother who brought you here especially.”

Minato was visibly pleased: "Alright, let's go then, brother."

"go!"

After a long day of traveling to fetch wind, he took Minato out for barbecue without even resting when he got home.

However, he seemed quite happy about it, and the smile on his face was genuine.

Torifu truly considered Minato as family, and Minato felt the same way.

And so, Torifu led Minato strolling over to the barbecue restaurant, where the owner immediately came out to greet them upon hearing that Torifu had arrived.

"Hey, isn't this Torifu and Minato? It's been a while since we've been here."

Qu Feng chuckled and said, "I went out on a mission a while ago and just got back today. I'm treating my brother to some barbecue."

The boss was very generous upon hearing this: "Oh, is that so? Then this meal is on me today, to welcome you back and wash you off your journey. Eat as much as you like!"

Qu Feng hasn't had barbecue in a long time and is craving it.
