Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

"What's wrong, my little wave? Why are you crying here?"

Ashina immediately rushed forward and hugged Kushina. Hearing the familiar voice, Kushina looked up and asked, "Grandpa, is that you?"

"Of course, the previous one was an imposter, and it must have made Kushina suffer. This time, Grandpa is really here."

Upon hearing this, Kushina threw herself into Ashina's arms and cried even louder.

Chapter 332 Reunion

"Of course, the previous one was an imposter, and it must have made Kushina suffer. This time, Grandpa is really here."

Upon hearing this, Kushina threw herself into Ashina's arms and cried even louder.

Kushina remembered that one night when her grandfather carried her for a walk on the beach, she suddenly noticed that when the waves crashed on the sand, they emitted a blue fluorescent light.

The entire beach was a dreamy color.

She was having a great time, while her grandfather watched her with a smile from the beach.

"Grandpa, look! The waves are blue, how beautiful!"

"You are very beautiful, but in Grandpa's eyes, you are the most beautiful. You are the most beautiful princess of the Land of Whirlpools. Grandpa hopes that you can be as free, happy and unrestrained as the waves in the future."

Therefore, just because Ashina uttered the words "Little Wave," Kushina was certain that this grandfather was real and not an imposter.

Ashina gently patted Kushina's back: "Alright, alright, good girl, Grandpa won't leave this time. He'll stay with Kushina, okay?"

"Can't we...can't we go home?"

Ashina patted Kushina's hair upon hearing this: "The Land of Whirlpools is just a small place. You will see a wider world in Konoha. Don't worry, Grandpa will always be with you."

Kushina doesn't quite understand what Ashina means yet, but since her grandfather said to stay, she will stay in Konoha Village.

"Brother Ashina, are you going to summon the wind?"

Hearing the noise in the courtyard, Tobirama came out of the house and unexpectedly found Ashina there.

He looked at Ashina warily and asked, "Torifu, is this for real this time?"

Torifu nodded somewhat awkwardly: "Yes, Kushina has also confirmed that it is indeed the real Ashina-senpai."

Upon hearing what Tobirama said, Tobirama's expression immediately changed, turning into a warm smile.

"Brother Ashina, I've finally met the real you this time. That fake one almost turned Konoha upside down."

Ashina laughed loudly, "I heard from the wind that Brother Hashirama was injured in the arm? I'm afraid it had already healed before he even pulled out his sword, right?"

"No wonder I felt so good when I woke up this morning, it turns out it was Ashina-san who came."

Hashirama and Mito came out of the house after hearing the noise, while Tsunade and Nawaki stood at the door.

For them, seeing someone they were chatting with last night again today won't evoke much emotion, even if that person was an imposter.

Ashina froze on the spot when he saw Hashirama and Mito.

"You two, how come you seem to get younger and younger? You look exactly the same as when you were young!"

Then he looked at Tobirama: "And you! I didn't notice, but you've gotten a lot younger too!"

Upon hearing this, Mito covered his face and laughed: "Brother, there are some things that are inconvenient to say, but we are indeed young, while you have white hair."

Ashina waved his hand dismissively: "It's normal not to tell such a secret. Besides, I've had white hair for thirty years already. Little sister, have you forgotten about your brother?"

"How could that be? It was just a joke. It's true what they say, the truth is always the truth."

A few short chats were enough to bring back the feeling of their youth. This was the real Ashina. Although they hadn't seen each other for more than 30 years, he was still the same person, unchanged.

Hashirama beckoned to Tsunade and Nawaki: "Come here, this is your Grandpa Ashina, come and pay your respects."

Upon hearing their grandfather's command, Tsunade and Nawaki immediately ran downstairs.

"Hello, Grandpa Ashina," the siblings said in unison.

"Good, good, good, you two are good too. I used to hold your father in my arms back then. I wonder where that kid has run off to now. He even came to the Land of Whirlpools the year before last."

The siblings weren't particularly interested in the topic of their father, since they had never met their parents since childhood, and talking about such topics didn't resonate with them.

It was Hashirama who broke the awkward silence: "Alright, alright, let's not stand in the yard anymore, let's go inside and talk."

The group went inside, while the guards that Ashina had brought stayed outside to keep watch.

They will be setting off back to the Land of Whirlpools to deliver the message around tomorrow.

Everyone sat down on the sofa in the living room, and Ashina naturally found the remote control and turned on the TV.

"Yes, the timing is perfect, it's the time for Hashirama's story."

When Hashirama himself heard this name, he shuddered.

I don't know who came up with this TV series, but it's been airing almost non-stop for 365 days a year, making Hashirama not really want to watch TV anymore.

Mito brought over a plate of fruit and placed it on the coffee table, then sat down next to Hashirama.

“Brother Ashina, tell us what you’ve been through in the past two weeks.”

Mentioning painful memories, Ashina couldn't help but get irritated: "Ugh, I get angry just thinking about it."

"That day, when I was fighting the enemy with Toru, I said I would help him hold off that Iron-Faced Guard. I thought that with my Kage-level strength, restraining him would be a piece of cake, but I didn't expect him to be from the Uchiha clan!"

"I never expected this, so I was caught off guard and fell into his illusion. When I woke up again, I felt like I was about to die. Fortunately, I survived and returned to the royal city."

"After resting for a while, he rushed to Konoha Village, but he was still too late."

Those present felt a pang of sadness upon hearing Ashina's words. Such an elderly woman had endured so much that she shouldn't have had to bear. Fortunately, her life was not in danger, so everything was alright.

"Brother Ashina, you're really lucky to be alive."

Ashina nodded: "Who says otherwise? It's my fault for being careless and underestimating my opponent, otherwise I wouldn't have ended up like this. I never thought that at my age, I would still make such a mistake."

Mito felt very sad when she heard about her brother's experience. Although the siblings had not seen each other for more than 30 years, their feelings for each other remained.

"What did the clan doctor say? Could there be any lingering problems?"

Upon hearing this, Ashina patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, little sister, I'm still in good health. This little injury won't do anything to me. Besides, after the examination, it's just some superficial wounds. I'm just a bit weak."

Mito nodded. As long as there are no hidden dangers, it's fine. The biggest fear for older people is having lingering health problems, which might suddenly flare up and kill them.

"Brother Ashina, are you going back to Konoha after this trip?"

"I'm not going back. I'll just wait for Kushina to grow up here. The Land of Whirlpools is too small. I don't want her to be tied down there for the rest of her life."

Chapter 333 Zhili's Phone Call

"Brother Ashina, are you going back to Konoha after this trip?"

"I'm not going back. I'll just wait for Kushina to grow up here. The Land of Whirlpools is too small. I don't want her to be tied down there for the rest of her life."

Tobirama nodded upon hearing this. It was good to live here; the brothers could chat with each other when they had nothing to do.

Kushina could make more friends, which was definitely better than living in that small world of the Land of Whirlpools.

At this moment, Kushina was playing with Tsunade and Nawaki in another room and did not participate in the adults' discussion.

Her father and mother didn't care much about her; only Ashina was very protective of Kushina, and when danger came, he would immediately move Kushina away.

He came in such a hurry because he was afraid that the person impersonating him would hurt Kushina. He wasn't worried about Hashirama at all, because he knew his brother's strength best.

But Kushina is just a little girl. If that imposter uses Kushina to threaten Konoha, he can't guarantee that anyone will care about a girl from another country.

Fortunately, everything is fine now, no one was hurt, and Kushina is alright.

Originally, Qu Feng planned to go straight home, but due to his master's wife's strong insistence, he could only have lunch here.

The craftsmanship was still so good that Ashina burst into tears after taking just one bite.

"I haven't tasted this flavor in over thirty years. Even the best chef can't replicate it."

Mito's eyes reddened upon hearing this: "Eat more. We'll live together from now on. We have a long life ahead of us. It's just a pity that your sister-in-law is gone."

"Alas, she was unlucky. If she had lived a few more years, she could have enjoyed the conveniences of this new era."

Kushina's mood also became somewhat downcast upon hearing this, as if she missed her grandmother.

Hashirama managed to change the subject in time, which livened up the atmosphere again.

"Hey Ashina-kun, Amado has made something new again, called a cell phone. You probably haven't heard of it before."

Ashina glared at Hashirama and said, "How could I, living far away in the Land of Whirlpools, possibly know anything about what's going on in your Konoha Village?"

Then, with some curiosity, he asked, "Tell me, what is this phone? Is it like these little squares you're holding?"

"That's right, that's it. Kushina will teach you after we finish eating. She's already learned it."

Ashina immediately looked at Kushina, his face full of pride: "As expected of my granddaughter, she's so smart. How about she teach Grandpa later?"

"Of course! I will definitely teach Grandpa!"

Kushina was overjoyed when the real Ashina arrived. Before, when the White Zetsu was impersonating her, she always felt that her grandfather was acting strangely, didn't like her as much, and didn't like talking to her.

Looking back now, it seems that her grandfather back then was a complete imposter, and it's a shame she went to such lengths to please him.

After chatting for a while, lunch was almost over, with only Ashina and Hashirama still drinking and bragging.

Seeing this, Toru didn't want to disturb the two old brothers, so he said to Mito, "Master's wife, I'll go back to the building first. I still have some official business there."

Mito smiled and waved, "Go ahead, come and eat when you're hungry."

"Yes, I will."

After saying goodbye, Qu Feng left the Thousand Hands Clan territory and used the Concealing Breath Technique to head straight home.

What official business? Did I just say so? He forgot.

Anyway, the puppet has always been working in the building and has never left. Saying it's for official business is just an excuse.

After returning to his clan's territory, he hadn't been comfortably in his rocking chair for long when his phone rang.

He pulled out his phone and saw it was Zhili's number, so he immediately answered: "What's wrong, Zhili?"

Where are you? I'll be at your house in three minutes.

"I'm at home, come on over."

Then Toru hung up the phone, and less than three minutes later, Chiri walked in, looking very hurried.
