Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

“Even before I started school, I often heard the villagers tell the children not to mess with the Uchiha clan after they started school.”

Hashirama frowned upon hearing this. He had heard about such things before. Most of the Uchiha clan members were arrogant and often treated the villagers with haughtiness, so they did not have a good reputation among the villagers.

Hashirama really couldn't do anything about it. As one of the two great clans that founded Konoha, the Uchiha couldn't very well get involved himself.

It is possible that this kind of thinking of his made more and more people in the Uchiha clan arrogant and conceited, and made the reputation of the Uchiha clan worse and worse.

"When I first heard these words, I felt only sadness and grief. Why do people hate me so much when I haven't done anything?"

As Zhili spoke, a hint of bitterness and sadness lingered in his voice.

"As I grew up, I discovered that there were many children in the clan like me. They all wanted to try to fit in, but often failed because of the Uchiha's 'bad reputation'."

"I've always considered myself a genius of the Uchiha clan, believing I could easily change people's perception of the Uchiha."

"But I found that I could do very little, and I felt frustrated at times, but I didn't want to give up!"

At this moment, Chiri had lost all her initial timidity and nervousness. She stood before everyone, before the ninja she admired most, and expressed her weak and seemingly unrealistic will.

"I want to unite the family and the village as one, I want everyone to be united, and for there to be no discrimination or fear among people!"

"Children of all races can become friends and trustworthy partners!"

At this moment, Chiri no longer had the airs of a young lady; she was more like a ninja with unwavering conviction!

Chapter 40 Time Flies, Turmoil Is Imminent

At this moment, Chiri no longer had the airs of a young lady; she was more like a ninja with unwavering conviction!

"Although I am not yet able to achieve all of this, I will always remain steadfast in my will! Until the day it is truly achieved."

Chiri's words won the approval of everyone present, especially Uchiha Kagami, whose eyes were full of satisfaction.

His younger sister, who used to just follow him around, is now starting to grow up.

However, putting such a will into practice is extremely difficult.

But he still has his older brother, who will help Zhili.

Seeing everyone's positive feedback, Zhili was greatly encouraged, and everyone looked at her with kindness.

“Very good, Zhili.”

"I'm very pleased that someone so young has such thoughts and awareness!"

Gaining Hashirama's approval made Chiri even more confident, but Hashirama's next words made Chiri ecstatic!

"I want to take you as my disciple, are you willing?"

At this moment, Chiri nodded frantically, repeatedly saying, "I'm willing! Hokage-sama, I'm willing!"

Hashirama was in a great mood, feeling that the test he had set was a wise choice.

This gave him a clear understanding of the will in the hearts of these children.

He can also select from them those who are suitable to lead Konoha Village forward in the future.

The title of Hokage is not simply about having great strength; it requires a genuine love for the village.

They can treat everyone in the village as their own family and protect them.

Only someone like this is qualified to become Hokage!

"Haha, good boy, remember to call me master next time."

Tears of happiness welled up in Chiri's eyes; she had finally become the Hokage's disciple.

The ninja I admire most! The strongest man in the entire ninja world.

"Master!"

Hashirama patted Jiri's head, signaling her to return to the group.

"Children, I have come to understand the Will of Fire in each of you today, and I am very pleased."

“Apart from Toki and Chiri, you are all already very excellent ninjas.”

"However, I hope you will remember that your Will of Fire is built upon the honor of the village and the safety of the villagers!"

"Never disregard the safety of the village and the lives of the villagers in order to carry out your own will!"

Hashirama's tone was serious, and he inadvertently revealed a hint of authority!

If someone were to actually do that, it would be putting the cart before the horse! He needs to make these children understand this.

Upon hearing this, Tokifu and the others also promised Hashirama that such a thing would never happen.

Hashirama then withdrew his aura, gave some instructions, and then sent them all down the mountain.

Only Hashirama and Tobirama remained on the mountaintop. Hashirama was wearing a wide robe when a gust of wind suddenly blew, causing his sleeves to flutter.

"Tobirama, among these children, whose will do you think is most suitable to lead the village?"

Tobirama didn't think too much about it, and simply smiled faintly: "Brother already has someone in mind, doesn't he?"

Hashirama turned and looked in the direction of the village. Whenever he wasn't on official business, he would come here alone to sit.

Sometimes I sit for an entire day.

"No one can say for sure what the future will hold; we need to observe it closely."

Tobirama nodded. It was too early to draw conclusions about these children.

They are not yet at the age where they need to choose a successor.

They will dedicate themselves to nurturing these children until they truly relinquish their responsibilities.

And from among them, the most suitable person to protect Konoha Village will be selected.

Hashirama suddenly asked out of the blue, "Tobirama, what do you think Konoha will be like in fifty or even sixty years?"

"I don't know, all I know is that by then we would have all turned to dust."

The two brothers smiled at each other.

"That's true, but if I had the chance, I'd really like to see what Konoha Village will be like in the future."

Everyone will eventually die, just as even the mighty Sage of Six Paths from ancient times could not escape death.

But will and ideals can be passed down from generation to generation, and Hashirama has found that person.

Time, like the fleeting nature of ordinary people, passes by in the blink of an eye, nearly twelve months have gone by.

There are three days left before Madara Uchiha launches his rebellion and attacks Konoha.

During these nearly twelve months, Toru learned a great deal of knowledge and physical techniques from Hashirama.

Whenever he has free time, he also follows Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others to carry out some missions.

Tokiwa is a very strong combatant, so Hiruzen Sarutobi was naturally happy to accept.

This has caused the wind's calmness value to keep increasing, and it has now accumulated to a total of 74300 calmness points.

This should finally allow Qu Feng to weather this major chaotic event.

If possible, he did not want his master to fight Madara Uchiha.

Torifu believes that the reason why Hashirama Senju, the god of the ninja world, died suddenly is because of this.

It was because he used cell regeneration to heal his injuries without restraint during numerous battles.

This causes the cells to reach their limit of division and ultimately die.

If the teacher hadn't fought Madara Uchiha, he might have been able to extend his lifespan by a few more years.

And perhaps then he will be able to find a cure.

After all, the items in the system store are constantly being updated, and who knows, there might even be items that can make cells grow again.

Qu Feng and Zhi Li have just finished their training and are planning what to eat for lunch.

Torifu was somewhat nervous about Madara Uchiha's impending attack.

However, one should not show any abnormalities, but only remind Zhili.

“Zhili, it’s best not to drive too far from your brother three nights from now.”

Hearing this, Zhili asked with some confusion, "What's wrong, Tsukasa? Is something the matter?"

She hadn't been in a good mood since she first went to fetch the wind this morning, and now he was mysteriously saying things she couldn't understand.

"I just have a bad feeling about it, but just do as I say."

Although she didn't know what Feng was hiding from her, since he had said so, she might as well listen to him.

Anyway, he and his brother just lived in different houses, but they weren't far apart.

Moreover, during the year or so they spent together, Qu Feng helped Zhi Li resolve many crises.

Therefore, Zhili chose to believe in the wind.

After much deliberation, the two decided to go for barbecue.

Ever since Tofu took Zhili to eat barbecue for the first time, Zhili has fallen in love with that restaurant and has been going there frequently over the past year.

The owner made a fortune and renovated the entire shop, making the business even more prosperous.

After the meal, Qu Feng bid farewell to Zhi Li and returned to his tribe's territory.

Throughout the past year, Tu Feng has had almost no free time, as he has been working hard to accumulate calmness points!

He became increasingly certain that this so-called peaceful life system was nothing but a sham!

He has never had a moment of peace since the system came into existence.

"System! Open the store!"

Chapter 41 My Mysterious Ancestor

"System! Open the store!"

The store interface opened, and Qu Feng began searching among the numerous items on the screen.

It wasn't that he didn't want to use product search, but he didn't know what category the item he wanted to buy belonged to, since that item was too unique.
