Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

The villagers on the street gradually began to go home, but the fireworks continued to be set off without stopping.

This demonstrates the advantage of allowing fireworks to be set off at different times.

The fireworks display lasted almost all night, creating a beautiful spectacle over Konoha Village.

It seems that no one has heard any news of a fire.

This made Qu Feng quite satisfied.

"Alright, we've come all this way, it's time for us to go home."

As he spoke, Toru took out his phone and called Hashirama: "Master, don't forget to come to my house for dinner tonight."

Hashirama was out for a stroll somewhere, hand in hand with Mito, looking very happy: "Alright, let's go right now."

After hanging up the phone, Qu Feng went home with Zhi Li, reminding the villagers to have fun before leaving.

Once the wind had blown away, the villagers felt that the festival was over, and a large number of them chose to go straight home.

It's still quite cold after playing outside all night. Even the Naruto characters have gone home. It's pretty good that we've played this far today.

A fireworks display that lasted all night, plus the appearance of monsters never seen before in Konoha Village.

It was truly unforgettable. Even decades from now, I should be able to easily recall what my first Spring Festival was like.

When Qu Feng and Zhi Li returned to their tribe's territory, Amado was already in the courtyard.

Minato and Kushina also returned together.

Yahiko and Konan actually came back with Tsunade. According to Tsunade, Dan will stay at the Kato family's house for the New Year, while he will spend the New Year with Hashirama.

"Okay, no matter whose house you spend the New Year at, we'll definitely treat you well. Sit down, you should be able to eat soon."

While Touko and Chiri were being all lovey-dovey on the street, their clones were already busily cooking.

The aroma is already wafting from the kitchen.

"Hahaha, taking the wind, today has truly broadened Master's horizons once again!"

A familiar loud laugh came from the doorway. When Torifu looked up, he saw that it was indeed Hashirama. He smiled and went to greet him.

"Master, Mistress, you've arrived. Please sit down."

After wandering around outside all night, Hashirama's legs were really sore. He found a random spot in the courtyard, put down the chair that Furu had handed him, and rested his feet.

Then Hashirama sighed and said, "That Nian Beast was so huge, it felt like it was comparable to a Tailed Beast. However, its weakness was too obvious and fatal, which is why we were able to successfully drive it away."

Qu Feng smiled slightly: "Master is right. If we don't take advantage of its weaknesses, it will probably take a lot of effort to get rid of it."

Hearing the explanation from the wind, Hashirama nodded: "That's right. That monster was indeed powerful, but it's all in the past now. It can be banished countless times after the first banishment, so there's nothing to fear."

Hashirama laughed loudly. He had been watching the Nian beast attack from a distance on another street and had no intention of helping.

As expected, Qu Feng easily defeated the Nian beast.

Hashirama was never worried at all, because he knew that obtaining the wind would definitely solve the crisis.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have held the Spring Festival activities as scheduled, and he wouldn't have gambled with the safety of all the villagers in Konoha.

But what if Hashirama knew that all of this was a virtual image created by Tokifuru using a projector?

I wonder if Hashirama will give Torifu a beating.

But the secret of obtaining the wind will never be revealed to anyone.

The master and apprentice chatted a lot about the upcoming Spring Festival activities, and before they knew it, the meal was ready.

There were eighteen dishes in total, enough for this large family.

Just as the food was served, Tobirama and Ashina, the last two pieces of the puzzle, arrived at the Cloud Clan.

Now everyone is here, and they are all sitting around the table, listening to Qu Feng's New Year's address.

The speech was sincere and brief, seemingly shortened intentionally so as not to delay everyone's mealtime.

"Alright, that's all for now. Everyone, have a good meal and drinks tonight, and let's welcome the new year together!"

Family members raised their glasses together to welcome the upcoming new year.

No one knows what challenges or dangers the coming year will bring, but they are all prepared.

Chapter 604 The New First Day

Just as the food was served, Tobirama and Ashina, the last two pieces of the puzzle, arrived at the Cloud Clan.

Now everyone is here, and they are all sitting around the table, listening to Qu Feng's New Year's address.

The speech was sincere and brief, seemingly shortened intentionally so as not to delay everyone's mealtime.

"Alright, that's all for now. Everyone, have a good meal and drinks tonight, and let's welcome the new year together!"

Family members raised their glasses together to welcome the upcoming new year.

No one knows what challenges or dangers the coming year will bring, but they are all prepared.

Dinner lasted about an hour. Hashirama and Ashina were all drunk and passed out, slumped over the table.

Qu Feng used his clone to send the two of them back to the Senju clan.

Mito and Tobirama, however, did not drink excessively.

"Your master was in such a good mood today that he made a fool of himself. Don't laugh at him."

Mito said with a slightly joking tone.

Qu Feng shook his head, then chuckled and said, "How could that be? Master's happiness is an affirmation of my Spring Festival celebration. I couldn't be happier than him. How could I laugh at him? Master's wife, you're overthinking it."

Mito patted him on the shoulder: "Of course your master's wife knows. I was just joking."

"Happy New Year, is that how you wish us a happy new year? Then, Master's wife will be taking her leave now."

Mito offered a word of blessing, then turned and left the Cloud Clan.

Happy New Year, Master's Wife. See you next year.

Mito was momentarily taken aback when she heard "see you next year," before laughing heartily and saying, "Okay, see you next year, mother and daughter."

Tomorrow will be next year.

Tobirama also confided a lot of his innermost thoughts to Torifu, such as the fact that the Flying Thunder God Technique had been surpassed and that the Water Release Technique was about to be surpassed.

However, he did not complain. Instead, he was genuinely pleased with how outstanding the disciple he had taught was.

After that, she went back to the Senju clan's territory with Mito.

Tsunade was taken away by Dan himself; the meal had been going on for about half an hour when Dan arrived.

The reason he gave was that he had already finished eating and was about to go to bed, so he came to keep Tsunade company.

Tsunade was initially a little unhappy because she couldn't spend the New Year with Dan, but when she saw Dan arrive, a smile immediately appeared on her face.

The young couple sat together, but because there were many elders around, they didn't do anything in the end, just held hands under the table.

"Well then, brother, we'll be going now. See you next year."

Duan waved his hand and, mimicking Qu Feng's words, said, "See you next year."

Qu Feng smiled and waved his hand, signaling them to go back and rest quickly.

After the guests left, all that was left was a huge mess.

Most of the adults had drunk some alcohol, and the table and floor were quite dirty, so they needed to be cleaned up.

However, this is no longer a task to gather wind; that can be left to the children.

They hadn't been drinking, so they were clear-headed and naturally wanted to help with the work.

Toru left a clone behind to tell them how to clean, while the real Toru went back to the house to sleep with Chiri.

Kushina seems to have been forgotten by her grandfather; even now, she's still in the Cloud Clan's territory and hasn't gone home.

Amado, seeing that it was getting late, decided to let her stay the night and go back the next day.

If you have a task tomorrow, don't worry about it being delayed.

Kushina naturally agreed; having eaten so much, she didn't want to move around easily.

After helping Minato and the others clean up the mess, Kushina was also starting to feel the strain.

She went straight back to the room where she had stayed a few days ago to sleep.

The children and Amado all went back to their rooms to sleep, choosing not to stay up all night.

The next morning, another year had passed.

The weather was very bright and sunny on the first day of the new year.

It raised the outdoor temperature by about three or four degrees, making it quite warm.

It seems that even the heavens knew it was a workday today, so they gave us such beautiful weather.

After getting up and washing up, I went to the courtyard.

Because I drank some alcohol last night, I didn't wake up until nine o'clock this morning.

Minato has long since finished his morning exercise and is probably off on a mission.

Only Yahiko and Konan remained in the courtyard. They didn't seem to have received any missions, or perhaps they had their own plans.

So they ignored them.

The two little ones immediately surrounded Qu Feng after he came out: "Master, when are Haiyuan and the others leaving?"

So they're asking about this? Looks like Haiyuan's training is working well.

"It should be in the next day or two. What, it seems you haven't sparred enough yet?"

The two nodded hesitantly: "It's very beneficial to spar with Haiyuan. He improves every time and always surprises us."

So, Haiyuan must be a genius, able to improve his strength with every training session.

However, all good things must come to an end, and gatherings and partings are inevitable.

"General Mifune and his party will probably be leaving in the next couple of days, and the other Kage will be the same."

Qu Feng patted their heads: "So cherish today's sparring session, because you might not be able to spar with Hai Yuan tomorrow."
