Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

Firelight? Sound? Is it really that simple? Then it seems this monster isn't so remarkable after all.

Before the clan leaders could even ask, Qu Feng said, "Small bursts of fire and sound won't do. To drive it away, we'll need a massive operation."

"Fireworks will do for the light; they can also block out the view after they explode. As for the sound, I've found a good solution."

Then, Qu Feng took out a piece of paper from his ring and handed it to the clan leaders: "This is a ninjutsu I developed called the Fire Bamboo Technique. It has no offensive power, but it makes a very loud noise."

Upon hearing the description given by the wind, the clan leaders understood that the Hokage intended for them to be in charge of the sound.

If every ninja learns this technique and they use it together, it will definitely be loud enough!

"Give this ninjutsu to your clansmen; that will be enough for your clans."

With everything arranged by the wind, the clan leaders were relieved. What could a mere monster possibly do to harm Konoha Village?

Moreover, since this guy's weakness is so simple, how powerful can it be?

The clan leaders assured the wind that the clansmen would learn this ninjutsu immediately, and that it would definitely come in handy that night.

A ninjutsu with three seals is so simple that it can't even be graded.

"Remember, ninjutsu needs to be released in waves, with continuous sounds to drive away monsters, not just a single sound."

The clan leaders bowed to each other, indicating that they understood, and then left the Hokage Building to begin their discussions.

Qu Feng was very happy because the firecracker issue had been resolved.

What kind of New Year is it if there are no firecrackers or fireworks?

This is a perfect opportunity to turn these ninjas into living firecrackers, adding a touch of joy to Konoha Village.

Now that the monster's reputation has been spread, it's time to find a place to put the projector.

We don't want things to go wrong unexpectedly, which would not only make everyone work for nothing but also affect the credibility of the wind-collecting order.

After the clan leaders left, Nara Anwa looked somewhat conflicted: "Hokage-sama, is this really enough? Why not have all the village's ninjas learn the ninjutsu you developed?"

After listening to the wind, he waved his hand and said, "It's alright. Too many people using it would be bad. It might even set the village on fire. Clan ninjas are organized into clans, which makes them more uniform and easier to manage."

"I see. Alright then, is there anything I need to do?"

News is spreading rapidly within Konoha Village these days, and the villagers have already begun discussing it.

However, people's anticipation for the Spring Festival was not dampened by the fear caused by this unknown monster.

They all wanted to contribute to the village and work together to drive the monster out of Konoha.

Furthermore, even the Hokage couldn't guarantee that this monster would definitely come to Konoha. If we scare ourselves like this, we might end up delaying the Spring Festival Gala, which won't do.

Anyway, the villagers had different opinions, but overall there was no major disturbance.

Konoha Village has weathered many storms and various attacks over the years, yet the villagers have never suffered any harm.

So people weren't too afraid; they believed that getting wind could solve this unknown crisis.

The villagers chatted excitedly in the village, and naturally, the news reached Qu Feng's home as well.

Inside the clan's courtyard, Minato and Yahiko were discussing this matter.

"A monster is about to attack Konoha Village, but my brother never mentioned it before. Could it be that he discovered something in the ancient books of the Cloud Clan again?"

Yahiko shook his head. He didn't know. When he heard the news on the street, he just found it funny.

Besides this year's grand celebration of the Spring Festival, the Cloud Clan also celebrates the festival in previous years, but they just don't tell outsiders.

Yahiko himself has celebrated five Lunar New Years in a row, but he has never heard of any monsters.

These villagers, having heard ghost stories from who-knows-where, passed them on and on until they became monsters.

Yahiko was young and impetuous, and after hearing this ridiculous news, he wanted to go up and argue with them.

Upon learning that the news came from his own master, Yahiko felt quite uneasy.

"There are rumors everywhere that monsters will come to Konoha Village at night, but everyone seems quite interested and doesn't seem scared."

Xiao Nan nodded in agreement: "Yes, the villagers are still guessing what this monster looks like, and I'm getting a little curious myself."

Minato shook his head helplessly. Since the message was sent by his older brother, it must mean that his older brother had discovered something.

If it were a rumor, the police would have arrested him long ago. How could this news have been allowed to spread in Konoha Village?

Just then, Qu Feng returned from outside, and the three of them immediately surrounded him, asking about the latest news regarding the monster attacks.

Qu Feng naturally told them his story in detail, and to make it more believable, he added some descriptions.

"I got up this morning to look through ancient books in order to make the Spring Festival atmosphere in Konoha Village even more festive, and that's when I learned about this news."

Qu Feng shook his head helplessly: "Even pasting couplets and paper-cut window decorations originally meant to drive away this monster, and only later did they gradually evolve into a symbol of celebration."

The children understood the whole story and were shocked to learn that the truth was so simple.

And there really are monsters coming to attack Konoha Village!

"Master, should we also participate in driving away the monsters?" Xiao Nan looked at Qu Feng with bright eyes.

Ke Qufeng did not agree to her request: "You should just stay and watch quietly. Monsters are dangerous, and you are still too weak. If this thing resists strongly or is no longer afraid of its weaknesses, then I will have to take action at any time."

“Okay…” Although Xiao Nan felt a little regretful, she did not act willfully and followed Qu Feng’s arrangement.

Meanwhile, Minato, who had been pondering for a long time, asked, "Brother, does this monster have a name? The Cloud Clan has been fighting it for so many years, surely its name must be recorded? And does it have offspring or a clan? We can't just suddenly have a whole bunch of monsters appear, can we?"

Minato's question was quite interesting; most people wouldn't focus on something like that.

Tokifumi looked at Minato with admiration: "The monster's name is Nian, you can also call it the 'Nian Beast,' it was named by my ancestor. This thing seems to have a very long lifespan, and it seems to be the only one in the world, without any other kind."

This introduction undoubtedly made the three children even more confused and curious.

The exact origins of the Cloud Clan are now impossible to verify, should this monster reappear...

Doesn't that mean it has lived for a thousand years?

Is it really possible for something to live that long? And there's only one such monster in the world, specifically opposing the Cloud Clan; it's truly quite rare.

After receiving the answer, Minato fell into thought once again.

At this moment, Xiao Nan raised her hand: "Master, since this thing is so rare, can we catch it? We can use it as your mount."

Her face was all smiles, but what she said didn't match her expression at all.

Qu Feng, sweating profusely, scratched his head and chuckled: "I don't know. After all, none of our ancestors tried it. I suppose this thing is probably very strong, because it has a weakness that makes it difficult to subdue."

Seeing that her idea had failed, Konan was a little discouraged. Yahiko, who was standing next to her, then asked, "So, which is stronger, the Nian Beast or the Tailed Beast?"

This is an excellent question, but even I, Qu Feng, cannot provide a perfect answer.

If the Nian Beast truly existed in the original world, then the Tailed Beasts are not worthy of comparison.

But in the end, this is just a myth, something that doesn't exist, and the Nian beast at night is just a holographic projection.

It's just a scare tactic; it has no real power and can't hurt anyone.

Therefore, there is absolutely no comparison. However, in order to maintain the mystery of the Nian Beast, Qu Feng still said without batting an eye.

"Tailed Beasts? They're completely incomparable."

This is an excellent question, but even I, Qu Feng, cannot provide a perfect answer.

If the Nian Beast truly existed in the original world, then the Tailed Beasts are not worthy of comparison.

But in the end, this is just a myth, something that doesn't exist, and the Nian beast at night is just a holographic projection.

Therefore, there is absolutely no comparison. However, in order to maintain the mystery of the Nian Beast, Qu Feng still said without batting an eye.

"Tailed Beasts? They're completely incomparable."

Upon receiving this answer, the children immediately understood the power of the Nian beast!

If even the most terrifying creatures in the world, the "Tailed Beasts," cannot compare, then just how powerful must this year be?

Can it really be driven away by some low-level ninjutsu and fireworks?

Minato remained skeptical, as each of the Cloud Clan's patriarchs was a powerful ninja.

The main way to drive away the Nian beast is through force; fireworks and such only have a weakening effect.

So it seems that the eldest brother should still be the one to defeat the Nian beast.

A being even more powerful than a tailed beast is indeed difficult to deal with, but my brother is now the strongest ninja in the ninja world, so defeating this Nian beast should be a piece of cake.

As he thought about it, Minato felt much more at ease.

Toki was naturally unaware that Minato had imagined so many things. After explaining to the children, he went inside.

Zhili and Haoyuan are not at home right now; they seem to have gone to the Uchiha clan's territory. They should know about this as well.

However, I had already explained it to Kagami and the others in the office, so there was no need to explain it to Jiri again.

It was a line he made up to evoke emotion, and even he himself forgot the words a little when he said it a second time.

Therefore, Qu Feng still felt that the less he said, the less mistakes he would make. If the villagers found out that there were suddenly many versions of the news, all of which they heard from Qu Feng, then they would become a laughing stock.

They've even come up with news headlines for themselves.

Shocking! The God of Ninjas openly deceived the villagers!
