Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

"You did a great job with the wind-gathering. This will make Konoha Village much safer. You must be exhausted today?"

Hashirama looked at his student with satisfaction. To be able to unleash such a wide-range ninjutsu at such a young age, he was truly a genius!

Chapter 46 Madara Uchiha, not worth mentioning

Hashirama looked at his student with satisfaction. To be able to unleash such a wide-range ninjutsu at such a young age, he was truly a genius!

"Because we prepared a long time in advance, the energy expenditure today was not particularly severe."

Hashirama nodded upon hearing this. Torifu had always been a very worry-free child for him, which made Hashirama feel that he was not doing his job very well.

"Why would you want to set up a cloud and mist formation outside the village?" Hashirama asked.

"Because I feel that the forest outside our Konoha Village can be considered a natural barrier, I had an idea to see if we could make this barrier even better."

Hashirama smiled. He was very satisfied with what he had done today. This way, the village wouldn't have to send so many ninjas to stand guard and patrol.

This frees up more manpower for other tasks. Everything in Konoha Village is thriving right now, and there's a shortage of people for many jobs.

This ventilation system should alleviate the current staffing shortage to some extent.

"Not bad, not bad, I'll give you credit for that."

"Thank you Master!"

I just came to report on my actions, and I'm afraid I'll be mistaken for an enemy attack.

Unexpectedly, not only did he receive praise from the two adults, but he also gained merit.

This is an honor that countless ninjas dream of! But taking the wind is indeed worthwhile; this cloud formation might save many lives in Konoha.

Afterwards, Qu Feng chatted with the two adults about cultivation matters, and during this time he subtly reminded them that tonight might not be peaceful.

However, Hashirama seemed not to understand the meaning behind Tobirama's words, while a thoughtful look flashed in Tobirama's eyes.

Anyway, Qu Feng has done everything he can now. He has set up a large array of cloud and mist perception techniques and told the security guards at the gate that tonight is going to be dangerous and they need to be more vigilant at the gate.

It was practically like they were shouting in the street: "Madara Uchiha is coming tonight! Everyone be careful!"

But if that's the case, they'd probably be arrested and locked up in a dark room.

In truth, Touko was still somewhat worried, mainly because he feared that Madara Uchiha's first stop would be the Uchiha clan, in order to rally his former clansmen.

Tingjing once said that almost every hawk in the Uchiha clan is a bit off-track; they'd rather have a good life than go out and fight.

If Madara Uchiha were to arrive, he would surely run off to follow him without hesitation.

Ke Qu Feng thought about it again. Back then, when Madara Uchiha wanted to lead his clan away from Konoha, not a single person followed him. Now that he's back, it's unlikely that he still has any attachment to this clan.

He probably wouldn't even look down on these 'foolish' tribesmen, after all, he had seen true 'peace' with his own eyes.

Tokifusa has to fight Madara Uchiha tonight, so he won't be able to keep an eye on Chiri. But with Kagami by Chiri's side, he should be fine.

Konoha Village is definitely not peaceful today. When the Uchiha hawks hear the news of Madara Uchiha's return, there is a very high chance that they will start to cause unrest.

Hopefully, it won't affect too many people. With Tobirama-sama here, there shouldn't be any problems.

While Tu Feng was repeatedly thinking about whether any link had been missed, time quietly slipped away.

Night fell quickly, and people went home to sleep. Because it was the first day the great formation was activated, the number of ninjas patrolling the village did not decrease.

After all, the practicality of the large formation still needs to be tested.

Qu Feng sat cross-legged on his bed at home, eyes closed, concentrating on perceiving everything within the clouds and mist.

Occasionally, one or two kittens would run by, and a few wild boars would wander around. In short, after searching for a long time, no life form with chakra was found.

Just as Qu Feng was about to relax for a while, a life form with an immense amount of chakra slowly walked into the clouds.

The man strolled over, seemingly taking a leisurely walk, surveying the surrounding clouds and mist.

Without any doubt or hesitation, Toru immediately blurted out, "Uchiha Madara is here!"

The man he had been waiting for a whole year has finally arrived!

Qu Feng couldn't quite articulate his feelings; excitement, hesitation, anger, relaxation, and so on.

But he wasn't afraid, perhaps because he held a trump card, or perhaps because he had mentally rehearsed the day Madara Uchiha would attack Konoha countless times throughout the year.

Perhaps he's gotten used to it, but in any case, this man, whom only Hashirama Senju could rival, still made Torifu feel nervous.

"Cloud Escape - Flowing Clouds and Flying Birds Technique".

The cloud and bird slowly condensed. Qu Feng whispered something in the bird's ear and then released it, sending it flying towards the direction of the Hokage Yan Yan.

"This day has finally arrived, System! Open the shop!"

A light blue shop panel unfolded before Qu Feng's eyes. Without bothering to browse other items, Qu Feng quickly searched for the Ancestor Experience Card.

"Found it! Redeem it through the system!"

[Ding - Congratulations, host, you have successfully redeemed the item: One-day trial card for Cloud Dust Transformation.]

Watching his 6 calmness points vanish in an instant, Qu Feng felt a pang of pain in his heart.

I saved up money for a year, but spent it all in an instant.

Qu Feng believes that God's way of punishing Qu Feng for being too rich is to arrange a system for him. In reality, he is extremely wealthy, but unfortunately, his calmness value teaches him a lesson.

But just a moment later, Qu Feng suddenly felt a huge surge of energy enter his body!

He then discovered that he could no longer control his body skillfully, and that his skin, voice, and appearance were all changing!

At first, I was a little flustered when I tried to get the wind, but I calmed down after remembering the system's description of the products.

"This experience card feels really strange," Qu Feng said, but the voice sounded unfamiliar to him.

It was a voice that sounded like that of a young man, but it also carried a sense of having seen through the vicissitudes of life.

The absurd idea that the ancestor was actually a young man immediately took hold of Qu Feng's mind.

Otherwise, this sound is completely inexplicable!

After a while, Qu Feng began to have control over his body. He walked to the mirror, but saw a different person instead.

This person was eight feet tall, wearing a jade crown, with a handsome and dashing appearance. His hair was white, like the wind, hanging down his back. He wore a white robe with a pattern of cranes hidden in the clouds.

If what Qu Feng said is true, and the ancestor Yun Zhong Hua Chen is a swordsman from another world, then the ancestor must be a handsome man who has captivated countless female cultivators!

Just as Qu Feng was still looking in the mirror, trying to find the differences, a memory that didn't belong to him flooded his mind.

To Qu Feng's surprise, these memories were all the techniques and moves of his ancestors, which were completely different from the ninjutsu he had learned!

For a moment, the shock made Qu Feng's head spin. It took him a minute to clear his mind and then he began to examine the techniques of his ancestors!

Qu Feng doesn't know his exact strength level, but he is incredibly relaxed right now.

After examining the memories, it was discovered that Madara Uchiha was utterly insignificant.

Chapter 47 The True Road to Peace

"fog?"

Madara Uchiha walked through the forest. Although he hadn't returned to Konoha for many years, he really didn't remember when the forests surrounding Konoha had been so foggy.

“No, there’s chakra in the mist.” Madara Uchiha said calmly, seeing through the essence of the mist in just a few breaths.

But he continued walking unhurriedly. He knew this forest very well, and even with thick fog obscuring his vision, he would not get lost.

"When did the ninjas of Konoha learn the Hidden Mist Technique?"

Even with the Sharingan activated, the three-tomoe Sharingan couldn't see through the forest beneath the mist.

"The Hidden Mist Technique can conceal the Sharingan, but this is a bit too dense."

Then the image of an old man flashed through my mind.

"Was he an old man from the Cloud Clan? But he should have been dead when I left."

As Madara Uchiha walked, he analyzed who might have created this thick fog, without any other thoughts, just out of sheer boredom.

Although Ban left the village early on, he knew a lot about the prominent figures in the village, and of course he knew that the old man in the clouds' son was a good-for-nothing.

He didn't suspect Yun Zhongshan at all. Ban would never have imagined that it was Yun Zhongshan's son, a mere seven-year-old child, who had caused this great fog.

When he reached a spot not far from Konoha Village, Madara Uchiha stopped. He wanted to look up at the moon tonight, but it was obscured by thick fog.

"Then... the art of spirit communication!"

……

Hashirama sat atop the rock, enjoying the evening breeze. At this time, everyone was preparing dinner, and the village of Konoha was filled with the peaceful aroma of cooking smoke.

"Where are you now, Madara?"

A few leaves were blown wildly through the air by the wind. Hashirama casually picked one up and played with it in his hand.

Suddenly, I noticed a hole in the leaf that had been eaten by insects, so I picked it up and held it up to my eyes.

What kind of belief did you hold back then?

Hashirama couldn't help but feel a pang of regret as he recalled how the two of them had built their own village at the foot of this cliff, full of youthful vigor.

The village remains the same, but sadly, he is all alone now.

Hashirama was not a pessimistic person. After a brief period of reminiscing about people through objects, he returned to his normal state of mind.

Even if I'm alone, I can protect the village and everyone else.

At that moment, several small white birds flew slowly from a distance. When they flew right up to him, Hashirama realized that they were Cloud Release ninjutsu that could capture the wind.

The birds fluttered around the pillar's ear, bringing a touch of coolness, before transforming into wisps of cloud that entered the pillar's ear.

"Master."

"Madara Uchiha is back."

Upon hearing this, Hashirama jumped to his feet, his face beaming with joy, momentarily forgetting how the child Torifu could possibly know Madara.

"Ban is back!"

My good brother, whom I haven't seen for several years, is finally back. I must make some good preparations.

Just as Hashirama was preparing to return home so that Mito could cook him a good meal.
