Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

Moreover, it has no side effects whatsoever; they definitely want to try and get their hands on such a herb.

Besides, if such a precious herb were won by someone from another village, wouldn't Konoha Village suffer a complete loss?

Regardless of who wins the championship, as long as one of them wins, the master will definitely be happy.

That's what the two apprentices thought, but Qu Feng didn't really care about these things. It was just a herb; he had plenty of them in his spatial ring.

This is just a lucky draw; the competition is simply to make the holiday more fun and lively.

It doesn't matter who wins the championship; the one from our own village is the best, and congratulations to those from other countries as well.

Qu Feng isn't such a petty person.

"Alright, the list of participants is out. Now we just have to wait for the competition in three days. I'm a little sleepy, so I'll go back and rest first."

After saying that, Qu Feng went back into the house, and Hao Yuan was also called back by Zhi Li to go inside and go to sleep.

There are still 9 days until the Spring Festival, and the competition is estimated to have about 3 days left after it ends.

The time is a bit tight, but three days is enough to set up the Spring Festival event venue.

The craftsmen of Konoha Village are known for their incredibly fast execution.

While Qu Feng slept peacefully, the patriarchs of the large clans couldn't sleep well.

After the list of contestants was announced, they discovered that every contestant was a genius! And they were all young masters or ladies from various families.

Everyone brought out their family's most valuable secrets, and the clan leaders began analyzing the weaknesses of each contestant based on the list of participants.

So that their children can go further in competitive sports.

While the players from Konoha Village can be analyzed, players from other countries are completely out of the question.

If we don't even know the other party's clan or what methods they have, how can we analyze it? We can only selectively analyze the ninjas from some of the more familiar major clans.

The clan leaders were all giving it their all to achieve good results in the competition.

This situation is not limited to the territories of the major clans.

Even the apartment where Kazekage was staying was brightly lit.

Because the Kazekage visited Konoha Village quite often, his entourage had also visited Konoha many times.

I know more or less about the major families in the village.

At this moment, Kazekage is using all his abilities to educate Sasori about the characteristics of these families, their secret techniques, or their bloodline limits.

"Look, I don't need to say anything more about the Hyuga clan, right? The whole family has Byakugan."

"The Uchiha clan is quite easy to recognize. They look pretty arrogant, and those with the fan-shaped family crest on their bodies are the ones."

"besides……"

The Kazekage went to great lengths to explain to Sasori the abilities possessed by these major clans of Konoha.

He talked until his throat was dry, while Scorpion listened, feeling drowsy.

"Oh, teacher? Are you finished?"

Scorpion scratched his head, looking embarrassed.

Kazekage, seeing this, was also very helpless: "Sigh, forget it. Just remember not to be careless. None of the major clans in Konoha are easy to deal with; each of them possesses unique skills."

"They're nothing like the simple village of Sunagakure."

After hearing this, Sasori secretly wiped away a bead of sweat. What do you mean by saying our Sand Village is simple? It's clearly because there isn't a single family in Sand Village with a bloodline limit!

Even the unique skill of puppetry has only been developed for a few years. How can it compare to Konoha Village?

The only one that can be considered a bloodline limit is the Magnet Release of Sunagakure, but there have been very few ninjas with Magnet Release in the past ten years.

Not to mention families.

"Master, don't worry, I'm quite confident in my abilities. I'm sure I can get into the top five, if not first place."

The reason Sasori is so conservative is because his grandmother told him that the people of Konoha Village like to hide their strength. They may seem ordinary, but they all possess extraordinary skills.

If pushed to the limit, I'll explode in a heartbeat.

This made Scorpion extremely cautious, and he dared not underestimate this competition.

However, Feng Ying's lecture was so boring that it made him very sleepy.

"By the way, Sasori, besides the Konoha clans I told you about, you also need to be careful of the samurai from the Land of Iron."

"warrior?"

This word has appeared more and more in Sasori's ears in recent years, seemingly a formidable rival to ninjas, though it seems to have declined in popularity.

"Your puppet body lacks defense. If you are careless, you may be caught off guard and attacked directly. Samurai are best at one-hit kills."

Although he didn't understand it, it sounded pretty impressive, so Scorpion silently memorized it.

Indeed, the ninja world is a place where outstanding talents emerge in great numbers. Even though he was already a very strong new generation ninja in Sunagakure, he was still considered a very strong one.

However, after arriving in Konoha Village, he discovered that many people were far stronger than him in terms of academic ability, which put him under pressure.

I don't know if it's true or if the teacher exaggerated on purpose to make him more cautious.

"Don't worry, Master. Before I left, my grandma and parents taught me not to be arrogant or look down on others. I will do my best in every match."

Fengying nodded in satisfaction. Scorpion was very obedient, which made Fengying very happy.

"Alright, that's enough for tonight. Go upstairs and go to sleep. Tomorrow I'll take you to meet the Hokage's two disciples. They should be strong contenders for the championship."

Sasori was very interested in this. He had long heard that the Hokage was the strongest ninja in the world, and that his disciples must also be very strong.

Who knows, we might have a direct sparring match tomorrow.

Thinking about this, Scorpion suddenly felt a little nervous. Wouldn't it be too embarrassing to lose before the match even started?

"What are you thinking about, you brat? Go to sleep right now."

"Oh! Okay!" After replying, Scorpion dashed upstairs to rest.

Seeing this, Kazekage stretched and looked at the long list of analyses of the Konoha Village contestants written on the table. He couldn't help but shake his head.

Chapter 547 Visiting the Cloud Clan Territory

Sasori was very interested in this. He had long heard that the Hokage was the strongest ninja in the world, and that his disciples must also be very strong.

Who knows, we might have a direct sparring match tomorrow.

Thinking about this, Scorpion suddenly felt a little nervous. Wouldn't it be too embarrassing to lose before the match even started?

"What are you thinking about, you brat? Go to sleep right now."

"Oh! Okay!" After replying, Scorpion dashed upstairs to rest.

Seeing this, Kazekage stretched and looked at the long list of analyses of the Konoha Village contestants written on the table. He couldn't help but shake his head.

The clans of Konoha Village have sent out nothing but geniuses, and the more the Kazekage analyzes this, the more anxious he becomes.

How come the younger generation of Konoha Village is so powerful? Even more outrageous is that the First Hokage of Konoha Village is still alive and well, and shows no signs of aging.

This is truly an outrageous thing.

Perhaps Konoha Village possesses some secret technique for eternal youth? He himself had no idea.

But he knew that this was a secret he couldn't just casually explore. If he angered the Hokage, the good relationship he had built up over the years could collapse instantly.

Sunagakure will definitely be implicated, so it's better to just pretend we don't know.

"It seems that Sunagakure will never surpass Konoha."

He once made a bold statement, wanting to make Sunagakure a very wealthy village.

He did indeed do it, but only with the help of the Hokage.

The two Kazekage, despite their tireless efforts and lifelong dedication, failed to achieve their goals. The Third Kazekage merely maintained good relations with Konoha and completed a few collaborations.

In just ten years, Sunagakure Village has undergone earth-shattering changes.

How could the Kazekage possibly have the ambition to compete with the Hokage for the title of the greatest ninja village in the world? And what qualifications did he have to compete for it?

Moreover, since Sunagakure has received such a great favor from Konoha, he certainly cannot forget this kindness.

Now that the ninja world is at peace and the village is prosperous, this kind of life is quite good, and he no longer has any unrealistic expectations.

After tidying up the list of participants on the table, Fengying went upstairs to rest.

The next morning around eight or nine o'clock, Fengying brought Xie to the Cloud Clan.

Being a teenager, he was curious about everything and kept asking questions along the way.

Fengying didn't find it annoying at all, and patiently answered Scorpion's questions.

“The Cloud Clan, Master, I’ve read about them in books. They seem to be a very ancient clan.”

Kazekage nodded: "Yes, it is said to be the clan from the time of the Sage of Six Paths. The Hokage is the current clan head. Let's go in."

Sasori nodded. He had only briefly met the Hokage that day and hadn't had a chance to get a proper look at him.

Upon learning that he could visit the Cloud Clan, Scorpion was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night.

Fengying knocked on the gate of the Cloud Clan's territory, and then the master and disciple slowly walked in.

"Is the Hokage home? I've come to visit you with my student."

Qu Feng, who was sitting idly drinking tea in the courtyard, immediately got up after hearing the sound.

"Oh, Fengying has arrived. Please have a seat."

He greeted Kazekage very warmly, and when he saw that Sasori had also arrived, he called over Yahiko and Konan.

"Yahiko, Konan, this is the formidable opponent I told you about, the Kazekage's beloved disciple, the puppeteer Sasori."

Yahiko and Konan immediately smiled and extended their hands to Sasori: "It's a pleasure to meet you. I am Yahiko, the Hokage's disciple, and this is Konan."

"Hello, I am Scorpion."

Scorpion chuckled as he spoke, and seemed a little shy, as if he were somewhat embarrassed.

Kids always have things to talk about, even if it's awkward when they first meet.

Before long, the three of them started playing, chasing each other in the yard, with one of them occasionally cheating with chakra.
