Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

The people of Konoha Village must be the same; otherwise, they wouldn't be queuing up in long lines at stores to buy goods for the Lunar New Year.

The villagers are also very much looking forward to seeing what tomorrow's Spring Festival will be like.

"There's nothing left to buy. I've basically bought everything. After I get back from the Spring Festival activities tomorrow, I'll cook a New Year's Eve dinner, and then this year will be over."

Qu Feng took a sip of tea and replied.

He did remember something he had forgotten to make: firecrackers.

Besides fireworks, firecrackers are also a standard part of Chinese New Year.

He had planned to do it a while ago, but he got so busy that he forgot about it.

The Spring Festival is tomorrow, and there's not enough time left unless we can get firecrackers from the system store.

Otherwise, we'll have to give this thing up.

Although it's a bit of a pity, many aspects are still imperfect during this first Spring Festival.

It's already quite good that it can be held smoothly, so we won't be picky about the wind.

He didn't intend to make everything perfect all at once; he could only keep improving it.

After all, the legacy of his previous life was something he couldn't completely replicate in just a few months.

As things stand, Qu Feng is already quite satisfied.

Since the chief planner of this Spring Festival was satisfied with everything, Zhili felt relieved.

The fireworks are ready, and we're just waiting to set them off tomorrow night.

Speaking of this, Zhili suddenly remembered something, and it was quite important: "By the way, Tsukuru, no matter how beautiful fireworks are, they are still fire. Won't setting them off too much pose a safety hazard?"

Chiri's reminder hit the nail on the head, and Toki realized the importance of the matter.

The houses in Konoha Village are arranged relatively densely, and most of them are made of wood, making them very easy to catch fire.

While not every household in Konoha Village has bought firecrackers, at least two-thirds of the families have.

If they are set off together, there's no guarantee that an accident won't happen.

“What you said makes sense. I’ll have Anhua come up with a reasonable solution right away. There’s still plenty of time. The official fireworks display won’t start until tomorrow night.”

Chiri was relieved to hear this, but the Hokage stayed home to relax and enjoy himself, leaving his secretary to do the work.

Isn't that a bit unfair?

Soon, Toruka dialed Nara Anwa's mobile phone number and explained the safety concerns raised by Jiri.

Anwar on the other end of the phone was also taking this matter very seriously.

If Konoha were to catch fire, there would be no danger even with the Hokage present.

But the shadow of those from other villages is still there, and it has a bad influence.

"Yes, Lord Hokage, I will come up with a solution right away. I will inform Lord Kato Dan and have him dispatch Anbu members to quickly distribute the notice to the villagers."

Qu Feng nodded: "I trust you to do things. Thank you for your help."

"Lord Hokage, you flatter me. It's no trouble at all. This is all for the sake of the village and its people."

The two then hung up the phone. Although Nara Anwa was a young girl, her love for the village was no less than that for Tokifusa.

That's why Qu Feng trusts her so much.

"As expected, I trust Anhua to do things. I don't need to use my brain at all."

Chiri, standing to the side, tapped Tokifumi's head: "You're just slacking off. If you keep going like this, we might as well just hand over the Hokage position to Anwa."

Zhili meant to tease Qufeng, but to her surprise, Qufeng's eyes widened: "How did you know I had that idea?"

Chiri was taken aback: "I don't know?"

Qu Feng shook his head and said with some regret, "An Hua has a serious work attitude and is good at handling various affairs, but her strength is too weak to protect Konoha Village."

"Otherwise, I was really planning to make her Hokage," said Tokifumi seriously.

Chapter 583 The Reward for Duan

Chiri, standing to the side, tapped Tokifumi's head: "You're just slacking off. If you keep going like this, we might as well just hand over the Hokage position to Anwa."

Zhili meant to tease Qufeng, but to her surprise, Qufeng's eyes widened: "How did you know I had that idea?"

Chiri was taken aback: "I don't know?"

Qu Feng shook his head and said with some regret, "An Hua has a serious work attitude and is good at handling various affairs, but her strength is too weak to protect Konoha Village."

"Otherwise, I was really planning to make her Hokage," said Tokifumi seriously.

Zhili sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation: "You're hopeless. Anhua doesn't have a Hokage background. Just that alone makes it impossible for him to become Hokage. I think you should stop thinking about it."

Historically, the Hokage position has always been held by the disciple or relative of the previous Hokage. This is because the older Hokage can use this position to judge the character and strength of the next Hokage.

Secondly, people you train yourself are more trustworthy. Entrusting the village to your carefully nurtured successors ensures that the village's future won't be too bad.

Anhua was merely hired as a secretary to obtain wind; this is hardly a proper Naruto background.

Qu Feng chuckled and waved his hand: "There's no such thing as the Hokage position. Wang Wei isn't the only one who can inherit the Hokage position; there's no such thing as the Hokage's apprentice or son having to take over."

"This is a position that anyone can compete for. It's just that the Hokage's disciples are often stronger and have higher moral character, making it easier for them to stand out in the competition."

Then, Qu Feng added, "Besides, it was just a fleeting thought of mine. An Hua's strength is only that of a Jonin; she has absolutely no way to protect the village."

Chiri nodded in agreement. The position of Hokage is one that requires someone to be perfect in every way.

Qu Feng was undoubtedly such a person. In dealing with villagers, handling government affairs, resisting foreign enemies, and establishing diplomatic relations with neighboring countries, Qu Feng was undoubtedly unmatched.

It was precisely because Tokifu was so versatile that Chiri was never able to find a true successor to Tokifu as Hokage.

Despite Torifu's repeated insistence on making Minato Hokage, Chiri still felt that Minato might not be able to do a better job than Torifu.

However, Toru trusted Minato very much and also really wanted to retire.

Chiri could only go along with his wishes, since only Torifu had the power to choose the next Hokage.

Even Hashirama and Tobirama only had the right to offer suggestions and could not directly interfere with the decision to take the wind.

Qu Feng felt that he hadn't brought up the topic very well, and the atmosphere had become a bit awkward.

He quickly changed the subject: "Anhua just mentioned Duan. He's been in the position of head of the secret service for several years without making any mistakes. Shouldn't I reward him with something?"

Upon hearing this, Zhili pondered, "We should give him some reward, but what should we give him?"

Kato Dan grew up with Torifu, and in Torifu's heart, Dan was no different from Amado and Minato.

Over the years, as Qu Feng's right-hand man, he has helped with many things that are difficult to handle openly.

And it has never made a single mistake.

Furthermore, he married Tsunade, which made their family relationship even stronger.

Therefore, there are many things to choose from regarding what rewards you should receive for taking the wind.

The first choice would be a Fruit of Life.

This is naturally very precious, and only the person Qu Feng trusts most will be given one.

Master and mistress, Tobirama, Jiri's father, Ashina, and only a few others have received it.

Duan had no doubt that Qu Feng trusted him greatly.

However, Duan is still very young, so giving him this fruit at present wouldn't be of much use.

He has no shortage of lifespan.

That option was naturally rejected.

“The Fruit of Life isn’t suitable. Are there any other options, like herbs?” Zhili analyzed earnestly.

Then she added, "The secret technique of 'severance' is to make the soul leave the body. How about giving him some herbs to enhance his spiritual power? That should be very helpful for him."

Qu Feng pondered for a moment: "...Herbal medicine? It's not something of great value to me. It can be given away as a free gift."

Zhili didn't think Qufeng was exaggerating. After so many years together, she and Haoyuan naturally knew that Qufeng had a lot of herbs, and they had consumed countless amounts of them.

"If you put it that way, then it is indeed true..."

Kezhili didn't know what to give, so she simply kept quiet and waited to see what Qufeng thought.

"Hey! How about the Bloodline Fruit?" Qu Feng asked with a hint of delight, finally having something decent to offer.

Chiri remembered that the Bloodline Fruit was a precious item that could grant a person a random bloodline ability.

However, only Yahiko in the family is suitable to use it; the others either have bloodline limits or secretaries, or they don't cultivate.

Therefore, only one of the five fruits was used.

Moreover, due to its preciousness, it cannot be given to outsiders or sold; it can only be given to trusted people.

The decision to end the relationship is quite fitting, but whether he's willing to accept it is another matter entirely.

"I have no objection. If you think it's okay, then you can discuss it with him?"

In Zhili's view, although a bloodline fruit is very precious, the spiritualization technique that can be developed from it may not be as powerful as a bloodline limit.

Therefore, whether Dan is willing to develop an unknown bloodline limit is also a question.

"You're right, I'll call Duan and ask him later."

Qu Feng felt that although the Spirit Transformation Technique was powerful, its weaknesses were also very obvious. If he could obtain a powerful bloodline limit, then Duan would have double insurance.

Whether or not to accept this bloodline is a choice for Duan himself.

However, it's still necessary to clarify the drawbacks of Bloodline Fruits. The bloodline limit they provide is very random, and you may not necessarily obtain a particularly powerful bloodline limit.

But no matter what, they finally came up with something usable; otherwise, they would have had to give away a bunch of herbs to boost his spiritual power.

As they chatted, the tea got cold, and Zhili felt a bit chilly outside, so she went back inside.

Meanwhile, Haoyuan was still running around the yard, sometimes strolling around in Shuimen's room, and sometimes wandering around in Yahiko's room.

There was no place in the entire Cloud Clan that he couldn't go.

However, Haoyuan was still very polite. He would knock on the door before going in and only enter if the person inside gave him permission.

Yesterday afternoon, Haoyuan suddenly disappeared, which made Zhili very worried, and she searched the whole yard.
