Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

However, the news of the impending war still made the villagers somewhat fearful, especially the ninja's family members.

Although I knew my husband and children would go to the battlefield sooner or later, I didn't expect it to be so soon.

All they could do was pray.

Before the war broke out, Toru kept the ninjas undergoing high-intensity survival and wilderness combat training.

But this training lasted for a month, and during that month, Amegakure did not launch a war.

Even the wind spirits suspected that Amegakure might be too afraid to fight. The villagers were also very puzzled. The Hokage had said that a war was about to break out, but a month had passed and there was still no news!

"Lord Hokage, Lord Sakumo's team has returned."

"Oh? Let them in quickly."

The secretary's words made Qu Feng realize something. He hadn't expected that even Shuo Mao and the others would return. This month had really passed peacefully.

Sakumo pushed open the door and walked in, followed by three children who all looked tired, but Minato was full of energy.

He seems to have plenty of energy.

"I can't believe this month has passed so quickly. Did you encounter anything interesting along the way?"

Shuo Mao smiled and said, "There weren't any interesting things, but the children's strength has improved, which is a good thing."

Have you seen Mifune?

Shuo Mao paused for a moment: "We did encounter him, but he was already on the verge of death. We gave him some basic first aid and left in a hurry without asking too many questions, but we left him a note."

He was on the verge of death, probably due to his battle with Hanzo. He hadn't made a move for a month; it turned out he was out causing trouble for the Land of Iron.

Now that I think about it, they should have already withdrawn from the Land of Iron.

"That's good. We've only met a few times anyway. It's already very kind of you to leave a note. If we're meant to meet, we'll meet again."

After Sakumo finished speaking, Minato stepped forward: "Hehe, big brother! My Flying Thunder God Technique has improved a bit more!"

Hearing this, Qu Feng was pleasantly surprised. This kid hadn't been seen for a month, and he had made progress with Flying Thunder God Technique again? He really was a genius.

"Very good, show it to me."

Minato swiftly pulled out a kunai with a mark on it and threw it at the office door.

The sharp kunai was immediately embedded in it. Then Minato began to form hand seals. The next second, he flashed a distance towards the door, but did not reach the kunai.

Seeing this, Torifu nodded: "Very good, very good. You've made great progress, but you still have a long way to go to reach the level of Tobirama-sama."

The praise from the wind was rather simple, mainly because he was afraid that Minato would become too arrogant, and Sakumo knew very little about the background of the Flying Thunder God Technique, so he was naturally quite calm.

But if Hashirama and Tobirama saw this, they would probably just snatch Minato away and take him away to teach him.

Such speed is absolutely unmatched among all those in Konoha who have trained in the Flying Thunder God Technique!

This technique was practically created just for him!

Minato was naturally very happy to receive his older brother's praise.

The wind was not biased; after listening to Shuo Mao's report, he also praised the remaining two children.

Receiving praise from the Hokage will keep them motivated for a long time to come.

"Your squad is the only one still outside Konoha. After this mission is completed, stay in the village. The war is about to begin."

Hearing this word, the three children were a little confused. How could a war break out just because they went out?

But Sakumo had no questions and nodded directly: "Yes, Hokage-sama, I will follow your instructions."

Minato and his two companions were only genin, so they couldn't go to the battlefield and had to stay in the village.

Just as Qu Feng was about to assign a new squad to Shuo Mao for training, the system notification sounded suddenly.

[Hanzo, who calls himself a demigod, is dissatisfied with the scarcity of resources and harsh environment of the Land of Rain. Determined to conquer the former territory of the Land of Lightning, he launches simultaneous wars against the Land of Wind, the Land of Fire, and the Land of Earth.]

Chapter 372 Fear of War

[Ding - Chaotic event triggered, the Second Shinobi World War! Event Level: S+]

[Hanzo, who calls himself a demigod, is dissatisfied with the scarcity of resources and harsh environment of the Land of Rain. Determined to conquer the former territory of the Land of Lightning, he launches simultaneous wars against the Land of Wind, the Land of Fire, and the Land of Earth.]

This sudden chaotic event caught Qu Feng somewhat off guard.

They were just saying war was about to break out, and now they've declared war.

It must be said that Hanzo was quite bold to declare war on three major ninja villages at the same time. Although the outcome is uncertain, this one act alone is enough to make him famous for all time.

However, it will still be some time before the army from Amegakure arrives near the Land of Fire, about half a month.

This also allows the ninjas to train a little longer, which is a safeguard for the war effort.

"Sakumo, I plan to assign you to the elite squad to train with Jiraiya and the others. However, you came back relatively late, so you need to work harder to catch up."

Sakumo nodded: "Yes, Hokage-sama, I will follow your instructions."

After discussing some mission-related matters, Qu Feng told them to go to the mission gathering place to turn in the mission.

It's not time to announce that Hanzo has started the war yet. After a while, when the ninjas' training is perfectly completed, it will be the best time for Konoha Village, when their morale is at its peak.

When the news is announced, the morale of the ninjas will surely be greatly boosted. Even if Amegakure receives help from outsiders, its population is limited and it is simply unable to withstand the flood of ninjas from Konoha. Defeat is only a matter of time.

Before that, Hanzo had attacked the Land of Iron for no apparent reason, which was something that Toru didn't quite understand. Although the Land of Iron was rich in steel, it couldn't be turned into a strategic resource overnight.

Attacking the Land of Iron at this time would undoubtedly make matters worse for them.

The office was unusually quiet with only Qu Feng left, so he summoned the puppet and slipped out.

With the Concealment Technique activated, even if the secretary is guarding the door, they won't notice that the Hokage has been replaced.

A tense atmosphere permeates the streets of Konoha Village. War could break out at any moment, and the villagers worry about whether their families will survive on the battlefield.

This is why Konoha has always opposed war, but since Amegakure has already provoked us so much, Konoha will naturally not allow itself to be bullied. Otherwise, Konoha's reputation as a great ninja village will be completely destroyed.

In the future, no one will listen to what a great ninja village says in the ninja world. Once it loses its credibility, it will be no different from an ordinary existence.

I just hope the villagers can understand. I will do my best to protect them.

When they got home, Tofu found Minato training in the yard, and Sakumo had already gone to participate in training. The children naturally had to do things on their own initiative.

During the war, those who diligently trained and those who slacked off will become clear once the war is over.

There will be a significant gap in strength.

Minato was undoubtedly the most diligent among these children, and whenever he had free time, he would practice the Flying Thunder God Technique, which he used to draw wind from the wind.

Now it's possible to teleport simply, although it still requires hand seals and cannot effectively catch opponents off guard in battle.

But this is a very good step forward, and Qu Feng is very happy.

"Big brother, why are you back?" Minato asked in confusion, then seemed to remember something.

"Oh, I remember now, you left the 'fake big brother' in the office, right?"

Qu Feng smiled and tapped his head with his finger: "You little rascal, you know everything. Hurry up and start training. Your progress is good. You might become the second ninja in recent years to master the Flying Thunder God Technique!"

"Then the entire Hidden Leaf Village will know your name! You will no longer be an unknown person!"

Minato was still a child, with some hot-blooded emotions. Hearing the words "take the wind," he became as excited as if he had been injected with chicken blood, and began to form hand seals and flash repeatedly.

He collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, only after all his chakra was exhausted.

"Big brother, I feel like I've made some progress again."

"Of course, I've seen your progress, but there's no need to rush. Just take it one step at a time."

Minato nodded seriously: "Don't worry, big brother, I will become the second ninja to master the Flying Thunder God Technique!"

Seeing his confidence, Tofu felt relieved. He had never doubted that Minato would be able to master the Flying Thunder God Technique; he had only been wondering when Minato would be able to.

But Minato always manages to shatter the speculation about wind.

"Brother, is war terrible?"

Upon hearing this question, Torifu turned to look at Minato, then walked over and sat down beside him.

"Terrible, of course it's terrifying."

"Even a powerful figure like my elder brother is afraid of war?"

Qu Feng nodded: "Of course I'm afraid, but not because I'm afraid of being killed. What I'm afraid of is that after killing so many people, I'll end up thinking that killing is a common thing."

“The loss of a life in my hands is no different from the budding of a blade of grass being knocked down with a stick. That’s what scares me.”

People become numb after killing too many people; this feeling arose during the First Shinobi World War.

The Radiant Crimson Lotus Technique instantly claimed thousands of lives, leaving countless limbs flying through the air, and blood staining the white robes of the Wind Chaser.

It should have been a terrifying thing, but Qu Feng thought it was perfectly normal and there was nothing to be afraid of.

At that time, Qu Feng knew that his mindset had completely changed, and that it could never be changed back.

Subconsciously, he believed that killing was a perfectly normal thing, requiring no fear or remorse.

Hearing what Toru said, Minato seemed to understand. When he killed someone for the first time, his hands trembled uncontrollably, but now that they were clearing out the bandits, Minato no longer felt any psychological impact.

Killing someone is as common and ordinary as pulling weeds.

But he had never experienced war and could not truly understand what it meant to be surrounded by mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

"Remember, never become a killing machine. You must know why you are wielding the knife and why you are killing."

Minato nodded after hearing this, understanding what he meant: "Don't worry, brother, I'll remember."

He is only ten years old. According to the rules of Konoha Village, he cannot go to the battlefield and can only stay in the village.

Minato hopes that he can step onto the battlefield when the next war breaks out, but he also hopes that the next war will never break out again.
