Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

Qu Feng and Feng Ying watched the children running around in the courtyard from the pavilion.

"This kid Sasori is quite good. No wonder he's the grandson of the First Kazekage."

Kazekage did not deny this, but nodded proudly: "This little guy is the most talented in the village. Granny Chiyo entrusted him to me for training, intending for him to compete for the future position of Kazekage."

After thinking it over, I realized that with Sasori's talent, becoming Kazekage should be a piece of cake. I just don't know if he can still develop the Red Secret Technique - Hundred Puppet Manipulation if his mind isn't twisted.

This ninjutsu is the pinnacle of puppetry; no one else can surpass it.

"In a little while, let Scorpion have a small spar with my two disciples, as a warm-up."

Upon hearing this, the Kazekage nodded. Besides paying a visit, his second purpose for coming here today was to see just how strong the Hokage's disciple really was.

While other families may have clues to follow, the disciples taught by the Hokage are truly difficult to predict.

"Okay, let the younger generation play around as they please, but they mustn't hurt their feelings."

Qu Feng said calmly, "That's natural."

The two chatted enthusiastically in the pavilion, discussing everything from the village to the ninja world. It was a rare opportunity for Torifusa to have such a conversation with other Kage.

I was a bit too unrestrained today.

Just as they were about to move on to the next topic, Amado's door opened.

"Huh? We have guests?"

Amado walked out the door, rubbed his eyes, and took a good look before realizing it was Kazekage.

He had known the Kazekage for a long time, and Amado knew almost all the important figures in the ninja world.

After all, he was the most powerful inventor in the ninja world, and his status was no lower than that of a Kage.

"Brother Amado, I came here specifically to visit the Hokage, you're up quite late."

Amado chuckled and scratched his head: "Oh dear, I was doing some random research last night and lost track of time. I haven't stayed up late in a long time."

As he spoke, Amado walked to the pavilion, sat down, and casually picked up a fruit, a specialty of the Land of Wind, that the Kazekage had brought, and began to eat it.

He then pointed to Sasori, who was playing with Yahiko and the others: "Is he your disciple? He seems like a pretty good kid. I wonder how strong he is?"

After listening, Qu Feng smiled slightly: "Maybe he's even stronger than you. How many years has it been since you last used ninjutsu? It's almost rusty by now."

Amado naturally understood that his older brother was teasing him, so he chuckled and said, "No matter what, I'm a Jonin. If a little kid like him can beat me, I'll just stand upside down and eat the TV."

Then, Amado called over Yahiko, Konan, and Sasori.

"What's wrong, Uncle Amado?"

Amado waved his hand: "It's nothing. The three of you are all disciples of the Shadow, so your strength must be about the same. It's a good opportunity to have a small competition now."

Chapter 548 Discussion

After listening, Qu Feng smiled slightly: "Maybe he's even stronger than you. How many years has it been since you last used ninjutsu? It's almost rusty by now."

Amado naturally understood that his older brother was teasing him, so he chuckled and said, "No matter what, I'm a Jonin. If a little kid like him can beat me, I'll just stand upside down and eat the TV."

Then, Amado called over Yahiko, Konan, and Sasori.

"What's wrong, Uncle Amado?"

Amado waved his hand: "It's nothing. The three of you are all disciples of the Shadow, so your strength must be about the same. It's a good opportunity to have a small competition now."

"Huh?" Yahiko and Konan were surprised and puzzled. The battle was going to start in a few days. Why would they have to have a match now?

However, Scorpion seemed eager to try it out, as if he was very interested.

"Oh, it's just a friendly match, nothing more. I'd like to see how good you guys are."

Knowing they couldn't refuse, Yahiko and Konan could only nod and say, "Alright, let's do it this time."

Qu Feng nodded in agreement: "No matter the outcome, I will give you three small rewards. Don't expect too much; they're just some worthless things."

That being said, the three children were still looking forward to it, but the Kazekage didn't react much.

After all, he felt that the Hokage wouldn't give anything valuable for such a small sparring match.

It's just a small gift, nothing more than a little encouragement.

Qu Feng rose and led everyone to a large training ground in the backyard of the Cloud Clan.

This place has just been completed and is intended for use by Minato or Yahiko in the future.

It's also perfect as a temporary training ground.

"Yahiko, you come with Sasori first." Torifu directly decided on the contestants.

Compared to Konan, Yahiko is definitely stronger.

Not to mention, having acquired Boil Release, they now have even more attack options.

Let Yahiko try it first; by taking the wind, he can make a judgment about Sasori.

"Yes, Master." "Yes, Hokage-sama."

Both of them politely greeted the referees before heading to the center of the training field.

"Looking at them, I can't help but think of the sparring I participated in at the Five Kage Summit when I was a child. Although I was the youngest at the time, I defeated the Second Kazekage, Raikage, Tsuchikage, and the Third Mizukage."

"Thinking about it now brings back so many memories."

Feng Ying, standing to the side, clicked his tongue. Good heavens, how was he supposed to respond to that?

However, the Hokage's strength is indeed truly formidable; the other four Kage couldn't even defeat the Hokage when he was a child.

I wonder if any of the Hokage's disciples will be as strong as him.

The sparring began quickly. The two bowed slightly, and then, at Qu Feng's command, Xie quickly took out his scroll, unrolled it, and threw it into the air!

Four sealing points were neatly arranged on the scroll, and the next second they dissipated with a puff of white smoke.

Four exquisitely crafted puppets appeared in mid-air.

Sasori immediately released chakra threads to connect them!

"One person controlling four puppets, no wonder he's Chiyo's grandson."

Even a puppeteer who has been trained for many years can only control one puppet at a time, but Scorpion, at such a young age, can control four at the same time.

In the future, they will definitely be able to inherit Bai's secret techniques.

Seeing this, Fengying proudly said, "This child has had an exceptional talent for puppetry since childhood, which even surprised Granny Chiyo."

On the training field, Yahiko looked at Sasori opposite him with some surprise. These four puppets were still putting some pressure on him.

Seeing that Yahiko was hesitant to make a move, Sasori decided to strike first.

With a flick of his right hand, two puppets shot out instantly. With a light touch of his fingers, countless mechanisms set inside the puppets began to operate.

Several steel needles shot out from inside the puppet, quickly heading towards Yahiko.

Upon seeing this, Yahiko immediately dodged to the side and began to constantly move his body, making it difficult for the puppet to locate him.

He began to form hand seals: "Water Release - Water Arrow Rain".

"Crimson Secret Technique - Heaven and Fire!"

A puppet suddenly appeared in front of Yahiko, then spewed out a large amount of flames.

But Yahiko's ninjutsu was already fully prepared. The next second, he spat out a large amount of water, but before it could condense into a water arrow, it collided directly with the flames.

The puppet was silenced in an instant.

Seeing this, Scorpion could only lament his bad luck. He quickly withdrew the abnormal puppet and let the other three take its place.

This puppet manipulation was extremely skillful; even watching from the sidelines, Qu Feng showed no signs of unfamiliarity, which meant that Scorpion's control of the four puppets was not something he was forced into.

It is actually very easy to control.

"This competition is going to be quite interesting."

"What the Hokage says is true. Yahiko's reaction was very quick. He wasn't hit or restrained by Sasori even once. It must be because of your excellent teaching, Hokage-sama."

Qu Feng smiled and shook his head: "No, no."

The three puppets quickly advanced towards Yahiko, forming a pincer movement that left him nowhere to hide.

Scorpion smiled as he saw that his plan had succeeded. One of his puppets had the ability to seal, and if he took a few more steps, he could use it together with the other puppets!

But plans are always subject to change. Yahiko exhaled a white mist from his mouth, which also had a sour smell.

The Kazekage was very surprised to see this scene and immediately turned to look at the Hokage.

He could hardly believe that the Hokage would pass on his clan's secret technique to his disciple.

Ke Qu Feng simply shook his head: "It's not Cloud Release, but this kid's own bloodline limit, Boil Release."

This……

The Kazekage was speechless again. Was it really that easy for Konoha ninjas to awaken their bloodlines? One bloodline after another, it was like they were getting free bloodlines.

"Sorry, I lost my composure a bit. This does indeed look very similar to your Cloud Release, Hokage."

Qu Feng nodded in agreement, saying, "That's right, except that mine is Bloodline Elimination, which has one more attribute than his. Just one attribute makes all the difference."

After that, the two stopped talking and quietly watched the exchange on the field.

When the scorpion saw a cloud of white mist appear, it immediately became alert.

The white mist obscured his vision, making it impossible for him to locate Yahiko with the naked eye.

and……

Scorpion quickly retrieved the three puppets, which were covered in signs of corrosion, and their shells were scratched.

Decorations such as hair even melted.

"What amazing ninjutsu! What is that?"

Sasori wasn't angry; he was just curious about the ninjutsu, as he had never seen one before.

However, it's too early to think you can defeat him with just this one move.

"Crimson Secret Technique - Blowing Snow!"
