Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

"It's now!"

As the wind subsided, more than two thousand ninjas simultaneously formed hand seals: "Fire Release - Fire Bamboo Technique!"

After a burst of intense light, everyone found themselves holding a string of firecrackers.

There were about a dozen of them, but none of them were substantial; they were just ninjutsu made of condensed flames.

But it doesn't matter, as long as it works well.

With a wave of his hand, the firecrackers began to explode!

The explosions were not uniform; some exploded quickly, others slowly, with sounds rising and falling in waves!

To Qu Feng, that crisp sound was truly something to be missed.

But at this moment, the Nian beast was in a bad state. It tried to cover its ears with its front paws, but it couldn't reach them.

At the same time, fireworks were set off again.

The sky above Konoha Village was ablaze with vibrant colors.

On the ground, countless firecrackers were exploding.

When one string of pearls is gone, another string is served, until youth is completely banished.

During this time, villagers also brought out things from their homes that made loud noises to help.

These were all the villagers' heartfelt wishes, so naturally they didn't stop them.

As a result, more and more villagers began to join the effort, making as much noise and light as possible to drive away the monster.

The noise made the Nian beast somewhat listless, and its size shrank considerably.

The villagers were overjoyed to see such a change!

If we can continuously weaken its size, could we capture the Nian Beast alive?

Regardless of what the villagers thought, everyone was getting more and more enthusiastic as they worked.

The Nian beast was so bothered by these things that it decided to rise up in rebellion!

Then the Nian beast roared to the sky, letting out a piercing roar!

Then a large amount of fire swirled and swirled around it.

It was as if he was wearing a suit of fiery armor.

"Everyone get ready, this thing might be about to retaliate."

Hearing Qu Feng's words, the Shadows became worried. They had just treated it that way, and they wondered if the hatred would accumulate when it went berserk.

As they expected, the Nian beast didn't attack anyone else; it only targeted those who wanted to attack Feng!

The fireballs always hit the wind-taker or were intercepted.

We cannot let him do as he pleases, even when it comes to obtaining wind.

He immediately stepped into the sky!

Countless white clouds surged from the sleeves of the wind-catching hand! They transformed into sharp swords, piercing towards the Nian beast.

Upon seeing this, the Nian beast immediately dodged and quickly launched a counterattack against Qu Feng.

Qu Feng felt that the clone inside the beast's body was really having a lot of fun, so he decided to play with it a little longer.

However, the Tsuchikage and Kazekage thought differently; they believed that the Hokage might be struggling to keep up!

Immediately use all your strength to help obtain the wind!

For a time, Konoha Village was engulfed in fierce fighting, with smelted iron sand and clods of earth scattered everywhere.

The Nian beast didn't seem to be in good condition either; it looked listless and completely different from its energetic self at the beginning.

Qu Feng thought to himself, "It's time to leave now. Could it be that this clone wants to play around for a while longer?"

Before he could think any further, the Nian beast suddenly moved and flew to the top of the mountain behind the mountain.

He then unleashed a wall of fire towards Qu Feng and the others who were pursuing him, blocking their escape.

After the fire wall disappeared, the Nian beast was nowhere to be found.

When the villagers saw that they had successfully driven away the Nian monster, everyone was filled with joy and excitement!

They successfully protected Konoha from the monster attack!

Even though they weren't serious civilians, they still protected the village in their own way.

At that moment, they felt an immense sense of accomplishment.

"Fellow villagers, thank you for helping Konoha Village overcome yet another difficulty. I thank every single villager of Konoha!"

"Without you, Konoha Village certainly wouldn't have been able to drive away the Nian Beast so quickly. Tonight's victory belongs to every one of you!"

Afterwards, Torifu thanked Onoki, Kazekage, and Mifune for their help.

Amidst the cheers of the villagers, Torifu left the Hokage Building rooftop and continued shopping with Chizuri.

Haoyuan was also very excited: "Dad, is that Nian beast dead?!"

Qu Feng smiled and shook his head: "Of course it's not dead. It ran too fast. We might run into it again next year."

Will it come again next year?

Qu Feng pretended to think for a while and said, "Probably. After all, we made it suffer so much this year, it will definitely come back for revenge next year."

Haoyuan seemed to accept the answer well, clearly indicating that he was starting to look forward to it.

Zhili touched Tokifu's arm and asked, "Are you hurt anywhere?"

"Haha, no, with so many Kage with me and the villagers using ninjutsu to weaken him, there's nothing to be afraid of. He's just a giant version of a one-horned lion dog."

Zhili rolled her eyes at him: "Why are you bragging again? Without the help of a few shadows, you definitely wouldn't have been able to do it so easily by yourself."

Qu Feng casually spread his hands and said, "Who knows? I don't think there should be any problem."

Then, Qu Feng looked around and saw that the villagers were still immersed in the joy of defeating the Nian beast.

The smiles on everyone's faces were genuine, and Qu Feng could tell that.

"Finally, this matter is completely over. The next time we encounter the New Year should be this day next year."

Chiri nodded in agreement: "Yes, this year is almost over."

"When are we going back? Aren't we supposed to have a family reunion dinner?"

Upon hearing Zhili's words, Qufeng suddenly remembered that he still needed to go home to prepare the reunion dinner, as his master and the others would be coming to eat soon.

"You just mentioned it, and now I realize... Shall we go home?"

Kezhi shook his head: "There's no rush. You have a clone, so just have your physical body do it. Let's take another stroll as a family. It's a rare occasion like this."

"Okay, you're right. Then I'll send my clone back to cook."

He quickly cast the spell, explained the task, and then sent his clone home.

"Okay, now we can shop around a bit longer. Do you want to go talk to your brother and the others? I just saw him."

Chapter 603 The New Year Arrives

"You just mentioned it, and now I realize... Shall we go home?"

Kezhi shook his head: "There's no rush. You have a clone, so just have your physical body do it. Let's take another stroll as a family. It's a rare occasion like this."

"Okay, you're right. Then I'll send my clone back to cook."

He quickly cast the spell, explained the task, and then sent his clone home.

"Okay, now we can shop around a bit longer. Do you want to go talk to your brother and the others? I just saw him."

After the Nian monster was driven away, the villagers stopped worrying about it and began to enjoy the delicious food and beautiful scenery.

They took photos in every alley, these streets they knew so well, which became gorgeous because of the New Year decorations.

The lanterns hung high, like little red suns.

Just then, Qu Feng saw a scene that surprised him.

"Hey, look!"

Qu Feng nodded towards Zhili, then pointed in a direction.

Zhili looked in that direction and was immediately stunned.

"This...isn't this Amado? And Anwar too, what are they doing together?"

"No way……"

Zhili could hardly believe his own guess. Could it be that when he asked Amado to go out and find a partner, he actually found one?

However, Anwar and Ammad have met a few times, probably to discuss work-related issues for tomorrow.

After all, they're officially starting work tomorrow, so it's normal for them to communicate beforehand.

You can't completely trust what you see with your eyes.

"I'll ask Amado about this tomorrow. I need to go home for dinner later, and I don't want this to spoil the festive atmosphere."

After hearing this, Zhili nodded in agreement. It was indeed inappropriate to discuss such matters at a large gathering, as it would make it seem as if the whole family was interrogating Amado.

If there's a real misunderstanding, wouldn't that be terrible?

However, Qu Feng's active mind also started to stir. If Amado and Anwa were really interested, he would definitely try his best to bring them together.

Moreover, Qu Feng knows Anwar inside and out, so there's no need to worry about Amado being deceived.

"Alright, stop looking, it won't be good if we get caught."

Zhili tugged at Qufeng, signaling him to leave.

After looking back several times, Tofu finally left with Chiri.

At the same time, Zhili also warned Haoyuan not to tell anyone what he had seen today!

Haoyuan readily agreed.

The two walked for a while longer, and by then the Spring Festival was almost over.
