Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

By severing cooperation with Kusagakure, their leader should understand the implications.

If they dare to cause any more trouble, they'll suffer a terrible fate.

"Rest here for the night, and send a few agile ninjas to scout out the location of Amegakure. We'll annihilate them in one fell swoop tomorrow!"

As soon as the order to fetch the wind was given, someone volunteered to step forward.

"Lord Hokage, I'll go. I also work in intelligence in the village."

Following the direction of the sound, Toru looked over and saw a member of the Hyuga clan.

“That’s right, rolling your eyes can make this mission much easier, but just in case, you should pick a few teammates to go with you.”

"Yes, Hokage-sama!"

Next, the Hyuga ninja selected several ninjas, all of whom were people who usually went on missions together and had good teamwork.

After obtaining Feng's permission, they ventured deep into the jungle to investigate the situation in Yuyin.

Meanwhile, the Konoha Village troops had already set up camp briefly, and the ninjas in charge of logistics had begun distributing ration pills to the ninjas. Although these pills didn't taste very good, they were enough to replenish their strength.

Hashirama, Tobirama, and the other squad leaders sat around Tokifuru, eating soldier rations and discussing their next move.

Even Torifu, who hated soldier pills the most, started chewing them. After all, this wasn't a mission, and during wartime, it was best for the Hokage to share the hardships with the ninjas.

"We do not yet know how many ninjas Kusagakure sent to Amegakure, nor do we know whether other small countries have been in contact with Hanzo in private. Therefore, the number of enemies is currently unknown, and we would better proceed with caution."

Hashirama is absolutely right. That's exactly what Torifu planned too. Torifu won't act rashly until he has a clear understanding of the enemy's strength.

Then, Toru said, "Amegakure has a secret medicine that can allow Jonin to break through to Kage level directly. The quantity is unknown, but Hanzo will definitely not be stingy in order to deal with us."

"So your battles might be a bit tough, and there's a high chance you'll be fighting multiple opponents. However, their strength is much weaker than a normal Kage-level character, so the pressure won't be that great."

About an hour later, the ninjas who went out to investigate returned. Judging from their clothing, there had been no conflict.

Everyone returned unharmed, which put Qu Feng at ease.

"Tell me quickly, what news have you received?"

The Hyuga ninja breathed a sigh of relief: "The Amegakure ninjas are only a few hundred meters from the border between the two countries, and they sent some ninjas to infiltrate the Land of Fire from various directions. We took care of a few of them."

The group nodded in agreement: "That's good news. Is there anything else?"

"Of course, Lord Hashirama, we observed that the number of Amegakure's army is about five to seven thousand, the exact number is unknown, but we saw several genin-level ninjas among them, so the strength is probably uneven."

"Then there are some ninjas in the main camp whose strength surpasses that of Jonin, and they are suspected to be Kage-level, about twenty of them."

More than twenty people—this number was within the wind's expectations; it wasn't particularly many, and the clan leaders of Konoha Village could handle it.

Last time, I easily took down thirteen ninjas in just half an hour; this time it just took a little longer.

However, we shouldn't underestimate them, since no one knows whether the ninja from last time was the strongest or just a test.

If they are all like the leader from last time, then things will get tricky.

"You did a good job. Go to the logistics department and get a soldier's ration pill to replenish your strength. You can rest here tonight."

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

After the three intelligence gatherers left, Qu Feng and the others resumed their conversation.

"We'll face them head-on tomorrow. The Kage-level opponents we encounter might be the same as those from that night, or they might be even stronger."

"But I believe you can handle it. As long as you don't make any major mistakes, you can hold them off for a while. I will come to your aid once I have resolved the situation."

Hiruzen nodded and said, "Don't worry, Hokage-sama. We've been through countless battles and became Kage-level through our own hard work. How could their power, obtained through crooked means, possibly compare to ours!"

Everyone present shared the same thought as Hiruzen, and were very confident in their own strength.

This was naturally a good thing, so Qu Feng didn't say anything more about it. He just needed to deal with his own enemies as soon as possible before going to help others.

"Lord Hokage, what should we do after we defeat these enemies?"

Hearing what the ninja said, Qu Feng shook his head and smiled: "It's impossible to completely defeat them. They know we outnumber them, so they will only fight and retreat, slowly wearing us down."

"Otherwise, they would have come and fought us to the death long ago. How could we be so safe and sound?"

The ninja scratched his head after hearing this: "Is that so?"

Faced with Konoha's 10,000-strong army and so many Kage-level fighters, how could Amegakure possibly fight to the death? They would definitely use the terrain to their advantage to constantly harass and launch feint attacks.

By the time the final battle was about to begin, the group, including Toru, would be exhausted and their strength would naturally decrease significantly, giving Hanzo a chance to succeed.

However, obtaining the wind wouldn't be so easy for him.

Chapter 377 War breaks out

By the time the final battle was about to begin, the group, including Toru, would be exhausted and their strength would naturally decrease significantly, giving Hanzo a chance to succeed.

However, obtaining the wind wouldn't be so easy for him.

The night passed quickly, and the next morning, the army set off immediately, advancing rapidly towards the border.

Along the one-kilometer journey, they encountered some ninjas who came to gather intelligence, but were easily dealt with by Toruka.

They sent out mostly genin (lower-ranking ninja), which seemed intentional, since genin have very low combat strength and wouldn't be of much use even if they stayed in the army.

If sending them out yields useful intelligence, it's a win; if they die, there's no real loss.

After marching for about ten minutes, the Konoha Village army reached the border of the Land of Fire.

At this point, the Amegakure army could be seen, and the Konoha army, judging from their formation alone, was half again as large.

With a wave of his hand, all the ninjas behind him immediately stopped in their tracks.

Meanwhile, a ninja slowly emerged from the opposing Yu Yin's team.

His blond hair stood out from the rest of the group, and a black filter obscured his face, making it impossible to see his features.

But you can tell from his aura that he is the leader of the team and also the strongest.

Then, more than twenty ninjas came out and stood behind the blond man without saying a word.

"I've only ever heard about the Hokage's reputation from other people before, and I used to think he was very imposing, but seeing him today, I'm somewhat disappointed."

Qu Feng smiled calmly: "Oh? Tell me, what did I do that disappointed you?"

The blond man looked Takayuki up and down and said, "I can't quite put my finger on it, but I just feel that you don't deserve the title of Hokage."

The blond man showed no fear in the face of Toru, and even continued to belittle him, which made the Konoha ninjas somewhat unable to tolerate it.

They were all eager to teach him a lesson.

"Whether I am worthy or not is not for you, an insignificant nobody, to decide. If Hanzo hadn't gone mad and started a war against Konoha, would you even be qualified to look me in the eye?"

The blond man was about to say something more when Qu Feng interrupted him: "Alright, I don't have time to waste with you here, kill!"

At Toru's command, the Konoha ninjas surged towards Amegakure like a raging sea!

The blond man panicked when he saw this. He wanted to stall for time, but he didn't expect that the Hokage wouldn't fall for his tricks and would launch an attack directly.

However, he quickly regained his senses: "For Lord Hanzo! For the future of the Land of Rain! Kill!"

Although the ninjas of Amegakure are not as strong as those of Konoha, they are willing to give their all for their country!

The two armies quickly became entangled in battle!

In an instant, Qu Feng arrived in front of the blond man, a bright green crystal blade appearing on his arm, aimed straight at his throat!

Upon seeing this, the blond man immediately retreated! His hands rapidly formed hand seals: "Water Release: Water Chaos Wave!"

A stream of water spurted from his mouth, washing directly over Qu Feng's body.

The water, sharp as a blade, relentlessly sliced ​​through Qu Feng's body.

Not long after, the wind-catching vessel was cut in two.

But the blond man didn't relax at all. He wasn't stupid; he couldn't possibly think that such a low-level ninjutsu could kill the Hokage!

At this moment, he was fully focused on sensing everything around him, not missing any tiny fluctuations.

Suddenly, the ground beneath my feet began to tremble! An extremely sharp crystal pierced through the ground!

She narrowly dodged to the side, just one centimeter away from piercing the blond man.

"Is the Hokage only good at hiding in the shadows? It seems I was right."

The resources come from the Internet and are only used for learning and communication. The copyright of the novel resources belongs to the original author

But his provocation had no effect on Qu Feng. Qu Feng was just a clown, and naturally he wouldn't care what Qu Feng said.

Then, more and more crystal spikes appeared on the ground, and even though the blond man dodged very quickly, he was still cut in several places by the crystals.

Blood was flowing out continuously.

"Your strength isn't much, but you're good with words. I haven't even used much force yet, and you're already in such a sorry state."

A mirror materialized out of thin air, and the wind emerged from it.

Upon seeing this, the blond man immediately formed a hand seal, and the next second a water vortex appeared beneath his feet, from which a ferocious water dragon shot out!

Bite towards the wind!

Ke Qufeng simply snapped his fingers, and a blue-white halo emanated from beneath his feet.

Everything in its path was frozen solid, and the water dragon bullet still had its mouth wide open, ready to tear it apart.

However, it was frozen in mid-air and shattered into powder when it hit the ground.

"Judging from your somewhat superficial strength, it's unlikely that you obtained it through any legitimate means."

Upon hearing Qu Feng's words, the blond man panicked: "What nonsense are you talking about! My strength is something I've earned through hard work and cultivation!"

Qu Feng waved his hand: "You can deny it all you want. When I arrive at Amegakure, I'll see what kind of underhanded methods you use to increase your strength."

With a clap of his hands, countless white cloud chains shot towards the blond man from all directions, binding him tightly and rendering him unable to move.

He was about to say something when a crystal spear pierced his chest in the next second.

But no blood flowed out, and his body turned into a puddle of water.

"You're quite skilled at using the Substitution Technique to escape."

"Rainbow Army, retreat!"

Upon hearing the blond man's voice coming from somewhere, the Amegakure ninjas immediately abandoned their current battle and turned to use their various ninjutsu to cover their retreat.
