Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

Qu Feng also felt a pang of sorrow for him in his heart.

When the time is right, he will inevitably become one of the many people urging him to get married.

For the next hour or so, Nawaki told Torifu and Minato about his journey and all the things he had seen and heard.

Needless to say, the more roads you travel, the more stories you'll naturally have.

They kept talking until Chiri came back from the street, and they still hadn't finished.

When Chiri saw Nawaki, she was a little stunned, then overjoyed: "Hey! Nawaki! When did you get back?"

"Hehe, Master's wife, I just got back not long ago. I chatted with Master for a while and was planning to mooch a meal here."

Zhili immediately agreed, "What do you mean by 'mooching'! I'll personally cook you a meal to welcome you back."

Nawaki is someone I've watched grow up since he was little, so the bond between us is incredibly strong.

He's no different from my own brother.

Having been away from the village for so long, we're finally back! Shouldn't we have a proper celebration?

Moreover, when Jiri heard Torifu say that Nawaki wouldn't be leaving after returning this time, Jiri was even more delighted.

He immediately carried the groceries into the kitchen.

"Haha, your teacher's wife is still the same as before, but you have matured a lot and become a real man."

Rope Tree said somewhat embarrassedly, "If I were truly mature, I wouldn't have left the village for so long."

"In order to find my father, I have been somewhat lax in my cultivation over the years, and I must work harder in the future."

Nawaki is someone I've watched grow up since he was little, so the bond between us is incredibly strong.

He's no different from my own brother.

Having been away from the village for so long, we're finally back! Shouldn't we have a proper celebration?

Moreover, when Jiri heard Torifu say that Nawaki wouldn't be leaving after returning this time, Jiri was even more delighted.

He immediately carried the groceries into the kitchen.

"Haha, your teacher's wife is still the same as before, but you have matured a lot and become a real man."

Rope Tree said somewhat embarrassedly, "If I were truly mature, I wouldn't have left the village for so long."

"In order to find my father, I have been somewhat lax in my cultivation over the years, and I must work harder in the future."

While Nawaki might say that, Torifu was quite satisfied, even though Konoha Village was relatively stable and not lacking in manpower.

However, the fact that Rope Tree can come back to help also increases the village's high-end combat power, enabling them to assist in handling various emergencies.

Zhili went into the kitchen to cook, leaving Haoyuan at Qufeng's place.

Haoyuan was relatively unfamiliar with Shengshu, having only met him a few times, and didn't know who this older brother was.

After some introductions from Toru, I learned that he was actually Hashirama's grandson, so he should call him "brother."

In fact, the generational order of the Torifu and Hashirama families has been completely messed up.

Logically speaking, Torifu is of the same generation as Hayato, but Tsunade calls Torifu "brother".

Rope Tree used to call me Brother Wind, but now I call him Master.

Sometimes, Qu Feng just throws all the blame at him and calls people whatever they want. He himself doesn't quite understand the concept of seniority.

I just did whatever made me comfortable.

Haoyuan chatted with Shengshu for a while and found that he wasn't interested in many of the things Shengshu said, finding them quite boring.

It left the embrace of the wind and went to play with other people.

Although Minato was also nearby, Haoyuan knew they were chatting together, so he didn't disturb Minato.

"Haha, Haoyuan thinks I'm too boring. I can't help it, I've been away for so long, I'm not very good at interacting with kids anymore."

Qu Feng smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay, you'll get to know each other better once you settle down in the village."

The three of them sat in the courtyard chatting, and as they talked, they began to discuss matters concerning Yu Province.

Rope Tree was involved in the war in Rain Province back then, but he was completely unaware of it from the outside.

Back in the village, seeing the ninjas talking about forming groups or something, I asked Minato about it.

Only then did I realize that Yu Province was in trouble again.

"Master, do you need me to go over there? I'm quite strong now, and I think I can hold my own against Brother Hiruzen."

Toruka nodded in agreement, estimating that Rope Tree's strength was also at this level.

Unfortunately, if this kid hadn't run off to find his father, he would probably be able to rival Tobirama by now.

"If you want to go, that would be the best. It just so happens that your three junior brothers and sisters are also going to train. If you go with them, you can also strengthen your relationship."

Nawaki agreed, "Okay, then I'll set off with Minato. I can keep an eye on them along the way."

"Haha, the group that Minato joined will probably have a thousand people by the time we set off. It will definitely be a spectacular sight when we travel. I'll just go and sign up with Minato on my way home this afternoon."

Rope Tree had already learned a little about the so-called group formation, so he wasn't puzzled and simply nodded: "Okay, Master, come home with me this afternoon too. I'm really scared... hehe."

Qu Feng knew what this kid was afraid of: he was afraid his grandfather would give him a good beating.

If the wind source is located nearby, the firepower can be greatly reduced, allowing Hashirama to quickly de-escalate the situation.

"Fine, since you're someone I've watched grow up, I can't just stand by and watch you get beaten up."

In reality, Hashirama might not actually beat up Nawaki. His grandson hasn't been home for so long, so he'd definitely want to give him a proper greeting.

Besides, there's Mito there; she dotes on Nawaki very much.

Speaking of this couple, Hashirama doted on Tsunade, spoiling her into having the temperament of a pampered young lady. Fortunately, she met Ryakudan and gradually corrected her ways.

Mito dotes on Nawaki and supports his decisions in everything, which has resulted in the boy being away from home all the time even though he's already in his mid-twenties.

This suggests that the couple's parenting philosophy is not particularly sound.

However, he was quite skilled at training apprentices, having taught two outstanding ninjas, Touko and Chiri.

This can be considered a way of salvaging his reputation.

The three of them chatted in the courtyard, and before long, Zhili had prepared the meal.

Meanwhile, Yahiko and Konan, who were training in the backyard, returned just in time, carrying Kohara with them.

Seeing this, Torifu also asked them to call for help, as Yahiko and Konan had met Nawaki before.

However, when they first arrived in Konoha Village, Nawaki had already started running away every few days.

At first, he would come back once every month or two, but later he became more and more unrestrained and was not home for whole years.

Therefore, Yahiko and Konan naturally had no feelings for Nawaki; they only knew that he had a senior brother.

When Haoyuan went to the backyard to look for them, he also told Yahiko and Konan, but the two of them felt a little embarrassed and didn't come to find Nawaki.

It's lunchtime now. They've been training all morning and are very hungry, so it's impossible for them not to eat.

That's when they came to the front yard.

Qu Feng understood their thoughts and simply asked them to call someone; he didn't make any other requests.

However, considering the bond between his apprentices and his own reputation, Qu Feng still offered a word of advice.

"Your senior brother Nawaki has completed his mission and will be staying in Konoha Village from now on. He won't be going that far anymore, so you should get to know him as soon as possible."

This was no difficult task, and Yahiko and Konan nodded, then obediently called him "Senior Brother" a few times.

Both parties were very satisfied.

"Alright, alright, stop chatting and come inside for dinner," Zhili said. The food was already cooked, and it would get cold quickly if they didn't eat it while it was hot.

"By the way, where's Amado?" Zhili suddenly remembered that someone was missing from the family, so he asked.

Qu Feng scratched his head: "I asked him to handle some official business for me in the office. I don't know if he'll be back by noon."

After hearing this, Zhili understood. "Good, good, you're creating another opportunity to be alone, huh? Well done!"

"Then let's go inside and eat first. We'll discuss what Amado wants to eat when he comes back."

As they spoke, the group went inside, and had barely sat down before they hadn't even started eating.

A voice came from outside: "I'm back! I'm exhausted!"

"By the way, where's Amado?" Zhili suddenly remembered that someone was missing from the family, so he asked.

Qu Feng scratched his head: "I asked him to handle some official business for me in the office. I don't know if he'll be back by noon."

After hearing this, Zhili understood. "Good, good, you're creating another opportunity to be alone, huh? Well done!"

"Then let's go inside and eat first. We'll discuss what Amado wants to eat when he comes back."

As they spoke, the group went inside, and had barely sat down before they hadn't even started eating.

A voice came from outside: "I'm back! I'm exhausted!"

At this time, Amado knew it was time to eat, so he went straight into the dining room.

Upon entering the room, he found the table full of people, with no room for him at all.

He looked at Qu Feng, and Qu Feng looked at him in return.

"Then I'll go?"

Qu Feng laughed and said, "Why are you leaving? Just add a chair and it'll be fine. It's just that Rope Tree came back and took your spot."

After saying that, Qu Feng took out a wooden chair from his ring and placed it beside him.

Amado scratched his head and chuckled, "Oh dear, I had a feeling today was going to be an extraordinary day, but I never expected that Rope Tree would be back!"

Amado and Rope Tree were old acquaintances with a deep bond, but now was definitely not a good time to connect.

So he simply went up and hugged Rope Tree, then went back to his seat to eat.
