Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

Chapter 345 Iwagakure Under Attack

Sakumo nodded: "Yes, Hokage-sama, I will keep a close eye on the two children's condition during this period."

He then turned and left, and the office fell silent once more.

After taking a look around and finding nothing serious, Qu Feng decided to head home.

There's no problem entrusting ordinary official duties to puppets.

Just as Qu Feng was about to get up and leave, a series of urgent knocks sounded on the door.

This startled Qu Feng, who was about to slip away, but he quickly recovered and sat back down in his chair.

"Enter."

The office door was pushed open, and upon closer inspection, it was Kato Dan. The head of the ANBU had come to report in person, so it must be something urgent.

After Dan entered, he bowed to Toruka and said, "Reporting to the Hokage, there is information coming from the black market."

"Oh? What information?"

The so-called black market is a small intelligence organization composed of rogue ninja from various villages. Although small, it is very well-informed and can know about any changes in the ninja world immediately.

Therefore, Konoha's intelligence organization and ANBU often deal with them.

Kato Dan took a small scroll out of his pouch and handed it to Torufu.

Qu Feng took the scroll and began to read it.

There was a slight smile on his face, but as he read, his brows furrowed.

"Iwagakure was also attacked?"

Duan nodded: "That's right. Last night, more than a dozen masked men attacked Iwagakure. Many buildings were destroyed, and a large hole was blown in the gate."

Hearing Duan's answer, Qu Feng was even more puzzled. These masked men had attacked Sunagakure and then Iwagakure.

But they didn't steal any property or carry out any fatal attacks; it was like they were having fun. Why was that?

Has any news come out from Iwagakure?

Upon hearing this, Dan shook his head and said, "No, Iwagakure is probably still in a state of panic and has no time to care about the outside world."

That makes sense. They were attacked last night, so they're probably busy stabilizing the situation and rebuilding.

The key question is, even if Mu and Onoki from Iwagakure joined forces, they couldn't withstand it? Is the enemy really that strong?

Qu Feng put away the scroll in his hand and tucked it into his pocket: "Send someone to keep an eye on things and see if any new information comes out. Notify all villagers that they are not allowed to leave their homes after 7 p.m. when it gets dark."

"Yes!"

Upon receiving the order to take the wind, Duan immediately took action, and at this point, Duan had no intention of going back to rest.

I thought the ninja world could remain peaceful for a while longer, but I never expected it to descend into chaos again so soon.

Fortunately, he has not stopped cultivating over the years, otherwise it would have been very difficult for him to survive one battle after another.

Especially now that Qu Feng is somewhat uncertain about the future direction of the ninja world, he needs to be even more cautious.

The attacks on these villages so far are probably just the appetizer. Only some buildings have been affected, and the attackers are all at the Kage level, so they shouldn't be too difficult to deal with.

After all, there are simply too many Kage-level experts in Konoha now, with each major clan having an average of one or two Kage-level experts.

If they really dare to launch an attack on Konoha, they might not return alive.

However, as Tokifumi just said, these are just appetizers. It is still unclear who the real mastermind is, and whether the other party knows anything about Konoha.

The enemy is in the dark while we are in the light, making us very difficult to deal with. A slight misstep could lead to bad consequences.

Having learned from Yu's experience back then, Qu Feng is no longer one to underestimate anyone. He still remembers the losses he suffered at Yu's hands back then.

"Having met Kakuzu, the organization must have members distributed in many villages and towns, so their information network must be very efficient."

After saying this, Qu Feng released the intelligent puppet to handle official business, while he transformed into a cloud and floated back home.

After closing the door, I lay down on the bed and focused my thoughts on the imprint.

In a cave in the Land of Rain, Kakuzu was looking at a map. Outside, the drizzling rain seemed never to stop, and even the fire was not burning very well because of the dampness.

Suddenly feeling a warm sensation on his arm, Kakuzu knew that the leader had come to ask for him again.

Sure enough, not long after, a puppet dressed in a white robe with blond hair emerged from the mark.

"It's been a long time since I contacted Kakuzu. How have you been?"

Kakuzu put the map in his hand aside: "Thanks to you, I've been doing quite well lately."

I smelled a musty odor in the air, and after looking around, I found that the cramped little cave was full of puddles.

Only the spot where Kakuzu was sitting was dry.

"Where is this place? It's so damp."

Kakuzu casually added a few pieces of firewood to the fire: "Land of Rain, this must be your first time here."

Upon hearing the name, Qu Feng paused for a moment. In all these years, this was truly his first time visiting the Land of Rain.

I had heard in my previous life that the Land of Rain experiences rain all year round without ever stopping.

I initially thought it was an exaggeration, but now it seems to be true.

"What are you doing here in the middle of nowhere?"

After hearing this, Kakuzu gave Torifu a deep look, then sighed: "Alas, what can I do? My leader is such a busy man. After becoming Hokage, he completely abandoned the organization. I'm the only one left to run around and recruit fresh blood for the organization."

Although Kakuzu's expression didn't change much, Torifu could hear the deep resentment in his words.

To this, Toki could only chuckle: "Sigh, there's nothing I can do. In the ninja world, it's impossible to find someone with both talent and a strong sense of belonging. And I'm the kind of person who would rather have nothing than something bad, which is why the organization is struggling."

"That's why I came to this lousy place to recruit talent. In this small ninja village in the Land of Rain, there is a ninja with great talent. If we can recruit him, the organization can reach a higher level."

The Land of Rain and the Talented One are both fine on their own, but putting them together creates a problem.

Who else could it be but Hanzo? This period was when Hanzo was at the height of his fame. A year earlier, I had heard that a super genius had emerged from the Land of Rain.

They even had the idea of ​​making the Land of Rain replace the already dormant Land of Lightning as the new fifth great ninja village.

This period should have been when Hanzo, brimming with confidence, launched wars against other countries.

However, perhaps due to the prestige and power of Qu Feng, no action has been taken for a long time.

Torifu initially thought the attack was caused by Amegakure, but if they had ten Kage-level fighters, would they be so timid? They could have just taken over the Land of Lightning.

"By the way, the person you're inviting isn't Hanzo, the leader of Amegakure, is he?"

Chapter 346 Progress of Flying Thunder God

Torifu initially thought the attack was caused by Amegakure, but if they had ten Kage-level fighters, would they be so timid? They could have just taken over the Land of Lightning.

"By the way, the person you're inviting isn't Hanzo, the leader of Amegakure, is he?"

Kakuzu glanced at Torifu: "Of course, otherwise, what powerful characters could there be in a place like Amegakure?"

"You're right. At this stage, Hanzo is indeed the only one worth trying to win over."

But who knows what will happen in the future.

"Let's not talk about that for now. I came to see you mainly because of the attacks on Sunagakure and Iwagakure. Do you have any information about that?"

Kakuzu thought for a moment and then said, "There are some, but not many. Those people appear and disappear quickly after an attack, much like those in the black market."

Hearing Kakuzu's answer disappointed Torifu, who had hoped to get some new information.

But found nothing.

However, this was within Feng's expectations. If it were so easy to find out who those people were, then Feng Ying wouldn't need to come to him to form an information-sharing group.

"Alright, how confident are you about successfully winning over Hanzo?"

Kakuzu shook his head upon hearing this: "Zero, not at all. I was just trying my luck. I mainly wanted to see how strong he is and whether he would become an obstacle for us."

Well, this is exactly what I expected. After all, Hanzo is the leader of a ninja village. No matter how eloquent you are, cooperating with you is possible, but joining you directly is out of the question.

Qu Feng sighed: "Then just treat it as a trip to relax. If you can't beat Hanzo, remember to run fast."

Kakuzu snorted coldly upon hearing this: "Of course I know that. That kid's poison is very difficult to deal with, and I'm not entirely confident either."

Then, Toru talked to Kakuzu about some organizational matters. They hadn't been in contact for a long time, and Toru knew nothing about the organization's development.

However, judging from Kakuzu's report, the organization is still on a growth trend, which is quite good.

Anyway, with Kakuzu as a financial master, there's no need to worry about assets. Moreover, Touko's management of the organization is just like his management of Konoha Village—he only works sporadically.

Reporting false data is not beneficial to the perspective, so it is also impossible.

After everything was over, Qu Feng's thoughts returned to his body. After staying in the Land of Rain for a while, he felt very damp all over.

The climate there is truly unbearable. I hope Kakuzu won't have any bad reactions there. As the most capable and only general under Toki, he can't afford to suffer any mishaps, otherwise the organization might really fall apart.

The original body, lying on the bed, opened its eyes and breathed in the air of Konoha Village, feeling much more comfortable.

He got up and went into the courtyard, only to find that Minato had already returned.

While he was practicing ninjutsu, Toru deliberately slowed his pace so as not to disturb him.

I'm afraid I won't have much time left to rest like this. I still need to have a talk with the Wind Shadow later.

After all, they're staying in Konoha for another day, so a meeting is necessary; otherwise, it would be disrespectful to the Kazekage.

While it's not a big deal to be disrespectful, it's always better to have more friends than more enemies. It's just a matter of moving your feet, nothing tiring.

"Focus on chakra control, concentrate the chakra to where you need to release it, and don't be impatient."

At the opportune moment, the wind gave Minato a timely reminder, slightly turning around what was about to fail as a ninjutsu.

It actually looks like it's somewhat successful.

A spell appeared on the shuriken: Sword of Endurance and Love.

"Very good, you've successfully taken the first step."

Minato was panting heavily; the ninjutsu he had just used had greatly depleted his chakra.

If it weren't for the timely reminder from the wind, he probably would have had all his chakra drained.
