Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

This could also break Yahiko's current somewhat awkward situation.

Konan has developed many lethal ninjutsu techniques, but Yahiko's ninjutsu seems to have gone a bit astray.

With the addition of Boil Release, Yahiko is even more inclined to rely on attrition.

In order to correct the situation in time, we can only ask Yahiko to work a little harder.

Chapter 574 officially concludes

They simply used ninjutsu to wear down their opponent.

That's why I gave the wind to Yahiko as a backup plan.

Tokiwa's swordsmanship is quite good; if he were to teach it to Yahiko, it would greatly enhance his strength.

This could also break Yahiko's current somewhat awkward situation.

Konan has developed many lethal ninjutsu techniques, but Yahiko's ninjutsu seems to have gone a bit astray.

With the addition of Boil Release, Yahiko is even more inclined to rely on attrition.

In order to correct the situation in time, we can only ask Yahiko to work a little harder.

Yahiko liked the sword very much when he saw it, so he took it from Torifuku's hand.

"Thank you, Master."

Then he stepped aside.

It is essential for a ninja to learn multiple attack methods, and this is also the key to advancing to the rank of elite Jonin.

A Jonin is an all-around ninja who, in addition to their area of ​​expertise, must meet the standards of a Jonin in all other aspects.

The requirements for becoming an elite Jonin are extremely stringent, and there are not many ninjas in Konoha who can become elite Jonin.

Yahiko naturally understood this principle as well. This time, his master was going to teach him swordsmanship, so he wouldn't have to worry about ninja tools.

Torifu nodded at Yahiko, then turned his gaze to Konan.

"Konan, you did very well. You successfully surpassed yourself and defeated Yahiko fair and square. I am very happy for you."

Toki was genuinely happy; to be honest, Toki wasn't very confident about Konan's victory.

In retrospect, it seems that Qu Feng underestimated Xiao Nan's ambition and her efforts.

"Tell me what you want. Whatever you want, your master can reward you."

Upon hearing this, the other figures were somewhat shocked, but they didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

The Hokage is just using the title of champion to reward his disciple; they just need to watch.

When Xiao Nan heard her master say that she could choose whatever she wanted, she was at a loss for words.

To be honest, Konan has been working so hard these past few days to win against Yahiko that she has completely forgotten about wanting any reward.

And without winning the championship, she wouldn't even dare to think about these things.

So when asked about the wind, Xiao Nan didn't know what to ask for.

Seeing that Xiao Nan seemed to have some decision-making anxiety, Qu Feng didn't rush her and let her choose one at random.

"Well then, since you can't think of anything right now, your master will give you this promise as a reward. You can use it at any time to exchange for the reward you need."

Xiao Nan was overjoyed upon hearing this and quickly nodded, "Thank you, Master!"

The other actors present also burst into laughter.

Once the awards ceremony is over, that's it.

There was no one else in the arena besides them, so Qu Feng suggested that everyone disperse.

If anything happens, you can go to the Cloud Clan's territory to find him.

If nothing else, then see you at the Spring Festival in three days.

The shadows had no objections; watching the games these past few days had prevented them from properly exploring Konoha Village.

Now that the competition is over, they can finally get some rest and relax.

After leaving the arena, the group went their separate ways. Toru, along with Yahiko and Konan, did not use the Concealment Technique.

They strolled leisurely through the streets of Konoha Village.

The villagers greeted them warmly, and the voices greeting Xiao Nan even slightly drowned out Qu Feng's.

It seems that the villagers are quite satisfied with Xiao Nan's victory.

Xiao Nan was flattered and didn't know how to respond to the villagers' calls.

The advice was to tell her not to be too nervous and to just be natural.

On the way home, Xiao Nan was greeted by a constant stream of calls, and she tried her best to greet every villager.

In the past, I would encounter this situation when I went out, but it was only a few people.

This was the first time so many people had gathered, and the overwhelming scene left Xiao Nan somewhat at a loss.

Fortunately, the arena wasn't too far from the Cloud Clan, and they arrived home in about ten minutes.

After entering the courtyard, Xiao Nan sat in the pavilion, panting heavily.

Yahiko leaned against a pavilion pillar and smiled slightly: "Why are you still so tired? Isn't it good to be popular?"

Xiao Nan shook her head: "It's not that it's bad, it's just that I can't keep up, I'm too busy."

Xiao Nan quite liked this feeling, but with so many people, she couldn't take care of every villager's feelings, and she became a bit flustered.

Qu Feng poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip: "You'll get used to these things."

"Including Yahiko, your fame will definitely grow even greater in the future; this is just a small matter."

Yahiko and Konan finally understood why their master liked to go out with the Concealment Technique active.

Without the ability to conceal one's breath, it would be truly difficult to withstand such a situation.

"Master, can you teach us the art of concealing one's breath?"

Qu Feng glanced at Yahiko: "No need. The reason so many villagers like you is because of your status as Hokage disciples and because this tournament has allowed you to shine."

"The villagers have given you the title of genius, which is why there's been such a reaction. Once the hype dies down, things will quickly return to normal."

Moreover, teaching the Concealing Breath Technique was too complicated; it took a long time even for a Kage-level ninja like Chisato to teach it.

These two kids can't even use A-rank ninjutsu, so they shouldn't even think about using the Concealing Breath Technique.

After being rejected by Touko, Yahiko and Konan were not too disappointed and instead opened Naruto.

I want to see if my master has made them.

However, upon logging into the game, it was discovered that apart from Mifune, there were no new ninjas; it was just a teaser.

Three pitch-black silhouettes paired with a short, awkwardly written, passionate quote—the master knows marketing.

"No need to look, I haven't even started making it yet, it will definitely be released on time."

Thus, the two could only try out the new character Mifune to see if they could learn how to use him to climb the ranks in the new season.

Just as Yahiko and Konan were having a great time, Jiri returned with Kohara, followed by Minato and Kushina.

"Eh? You guys are back so soon? I thought the awards ceremony would take a long time." Zhili smiled at Qufeng, while Haoyuan in her arms waved his little hand, gesturing for Qufeng to look at him.

Qu Feng smiled and reached out to take Hao Yuan, holding him in his arms.

These two men spent all their time in the arena and barely had time to play with their son. Now that the competition is over, they can finally spend more time together.

"Where did you go? I didn't see you on the way back."

Zhili tapped Qufeng's forehead with her hand: "It would be strange if you could see me. I took Haoyuan and Shuimen to visit Master."

"You don't know, Master has already started practicing Mifune diligently. I was just being perfunctory with my words, so I came back in the end so as not to disturb him while he was playing games."

As Zhili spoke, it seemed as if she was also complaining.

Qu Feng knew exactly what his master was like: very dignified and domineering in front of outsiders, but like a little child in front of his own family.

Chapter 575 Paving the Way

Zhili tapped Qufeng's forehead with her hand: "It would be strange if you could see me. I took Haoyuan and Shuimen to visit Master."

"You don't know, Master has already started practicing Mifune diligently. I was just being perfunctory with my words, so I came back in the end so as not to disturb him while he was playing games."

As Zhili spoke, it seemed as if she was also complaining.

Qu Feng knew exactly what his master was like: very dignified and domineering in front of outsiders, but like a little child in front of his own family.

All I do all day is take walks and stay home playing video games. After all these years, my rank is still the same, barely not declining.

However, I think it's quite good. Hashirama is already quite old. Although his physical functions are still in their prime, his soul is already that of an eighty-year-old.

It's already quite remarkable that he can remain so optimistic and cheerful. Let him have fun if he wants to; nothing bad will happen anyway.

It can also help pass the time and relieve boredom, which is always a good thing.

"Alright, don't be angry anymore. Let Master play if he wants to, as long as he stays healthy."

Zhili agreed with Qufeng's words: "You're right, it's already a rare thing that we still have a master."

After reflecting for a while, Zhili got up to prepare lunch.

To celebrate Xiao Nan's victory today, she specially bought a lot of fresh vegetables on the street.

It's not easy to get vegetables in winter; greenhouse production is low, so prices are naturally very high.

Most people wouldn't be willing to buy it, but Zhili naturally doesn't have that concern.

With Shuimen helping her carry her bags, she practically emptied the entire street.

"If you're tired, we can go out for a meal. You don't have to cook yourself."

Zhili waved his hand: "No way, this is a big event in Xiaonan's life, it will take several years to complete. It just so happens that the cooking is no longer pungent, so there are no worries about cooking."

Seeing that Zhili seemed quite happy, Qufeng didn't say anything more and let her be.

After helping to put all the bags and packages in the kitchen, Minato went to the pavilion to have some tea.
