Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

Even if you've heard the jokes beforehand, you'll still laugh out loud at some of them.

"You kid, you haven't come to nothing. You've been through so much, and these will all be precious memories for you in the future."

Hashirama didn't actually object to Nawaki going out to train; he himself had traveled throughout the entire ninja world several times when he was young.

His main concern was that he didn't want Nawaki to bother the morning couple repeatedly.

Now that Nawaki has come to terms with it, everyone is naturally happy. Earlier this morning, on New Year's Day, he sent a text message to Hashirama using his mobile phone.

They talked about their recent situation and mentioned that Nawaki had given up looking for them.

At that time, Hashirama knew that Nawaki might be coming back, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

This was all the news that came out of the only time of the year. Although Hashirama was quite annoyed, he gradually accepted it.

He and Zaojian were perhaps destined to have only a short-lived father-son relationship, starting from the moment Zaojian left the Senju clan's territory.

Their lives no longer intersected.

Hashirama has gradually come to accept this point.

He and Zaojian were perhaps destined to have only a short-lived father-son relationship, starting from the moment Zaojian left the Senju clan's territory.

Their lives no longer intersected.

Hashirama has gradually come to accept this point.

However, Hashirama has come to terms with it now, and he and Mito are more concerned with making the most of their lives.

Hayashi's choice of this lifestyle is largely due to the education he received from Hashirama when he was young, so Hashirama doesn't blame Hayashi.

Instead, he kept reflecting on his own problems, and after taking Feng as his disciple, he completely changed all his original wrong teaching methods.

Now, taking the wind is no different from his son, but the morning will always be a scar in Hashirama's heart.

The couple has now benefited from the fruits of life and will live a long time. Who knows, they might even see the day when they return to the village with his wife in the morning.

Hashirama treated this matter as a minor lingering thought and didn't take it too seriously.

If it comes true, it will be a great joy; if it doesn't, Hashirama won't complain.

Hashirama was very happy that Nawaki returned today; in fact, the entire Senju clan was very happy.

Mito, in particular, is already starting to prepare dinner, getting ready to go out and buy some fresh meat and seafood.

Since his grandson has been traveling for so long, the food he eats must not be as good as what he eats at home. Mito should cook him a big meal to properly welcome him back.

Rope Tree had taken a shower at home, and his body was quite dirty from the long journey.

After returning home, I could finally relax and take a hot shower, which was a completely different experience from soaking in a hot spring in the Land of Hot Springs.

Although hot springs are more comfortable, they can't make Nawaki relax like that.

Only when he returns home can Nawaki truly relax.

Having walked outside for so long, I felt incredibly tired as soon as I relaxed, so I went back inside to rest for a while.

After seeing that her grandfather hadn't scolded or hit Nawaki, Tsunade felt relieved and went home after a while.

They said they would come back at dinner time.

Hashirama nodded without saying anything. At that moment, he was talking to Minato, Tobirama, and Ashina about the Ministry of Rain.

The news of the rebellion in Yu Province is spreading like wildfire, and it's estimated that it will reach the capital within a day.

"Qu Feng, how are you handling the rebellion in Yu Province? I haven't been involved in village affairs much lately, so I assume you've taken care of it by now?"

Hashirama inquired, and indeed it was as he said; Toki had already arranged everything, and now all that was needed was to carry it out step by step.

Once the mastermind behind the scenes gradually comes to light, Qu Feng will go directly and wipe them all out!

"Yes, Master, the missions have already been assigned, we just need to wait."

Tobirama and Ashina have been paying close attention to the Rain Ministry these past two days, especially Tobirama. Although he also believes in the ability to obtain wind, he is always worried that he might be careless when obtaining wind.

Now that he heard the answer from his own mouth, he was finally relieved.

"That's good. Do you need any help from us old bones? If it's still that Yan, he might be difficult to deal with."

Back then, it took the combined efforts of three powerful figures from different countries to defeat Yan.

Now that she seems to be making a comeback, we must be on guard.

After listening, Qu Feng smiled slightly: "If it's a decisive battle, I'll go alone. You can just help with the village affairs. Although Yan is strong, I'm not the same person I used to be."

Although Qu Feng's cultivation level is still stuck at the half-step Six Paths level, his strength in other aspects has improved by an unknown amount.

Ninjutsu has reached a point where a single thought can produce countless variations.

He believed that if he were to face Yan again, he would definitely be the one to win.

However, Qu Feng wasn't careless either; who could guarantee that Yan hadn't made progress over the years?

Back then, the pills he concocted could turn ordinary people into Jonin. If he has improved, wouldn't he be mass-producing Kage?

But upon closer reflection, it's probably not very realistic.

Hearing what Toru said, Hashirama and Tobirama were clearly stunned. They had only said that they were old, but they never thought that they would actually be eliminated!

They're practically the strongest fighting force in Konoha besides the Wind Hunter, right? Why can't they go to the front lines now and are instead staying at the base?

"You're serious, not trying to get the wind? You want me and Tobirama to stay in the village while you go alone?"

Qu Feng naturally understood the meaning behind Hashirama's words, and said with a smile, "Master, if the three of us make a move, Yan will definitely be powerless to fight back. I also know that your strength has improved and you want to try your hand. I'll spar with you sometime."

"This time, I want to test the newly grown batch of ninjas in top-tier combat."

"You mean? Rope Tree? That's right... He does need a top-tier battle to strengthen his will."

Qu Feng chuckled and said, "There's still a part to go. If possible, Minato will come along too."

"Napaki and Broken? And Minato..."

These are all names that Hashirama knew well and was very close to. Now, all of them have been dragged to the battlefield by Toruichi... isn't that a bit...?

"I have no objection to Dan and Nawaki. Their strength is already quite good. They are at the level of Hiruzen in his youth, or even surpass him."

But Minato... Hashirama shook his head. He didn't think that a Jonin like Minato would be of any help in the battle, which was a battle that only Kage could participate in.

Making him join a battle beyond his capabilities would not only be of no benefit to him, but could also damage his confidence or cause him serious injury.

Therefore, Hashirama directly raised his opinion regarding the idea of ​​involving Minato in the wind-gathering process.

After listening, Qu Feng nodded and said, "As I said, I would only let Minato go up if possible. I was thinking of letting Minato practice after we were all exhausted. Since you are so opposed, Master, then I won't take him."

Hashirama was finally satisfied. From the moment Minato arrived in Konoha, Torifu had always said that he would make Minato the Fourth Hokage.

Hashirama hadn't paid much attention before, but seeing Minato's rapid growth and his mastery of the forbidden technique Flying Thunder God, which no outsider could learn, he became more aware.

Hashirama had already considered him a strong contender for the Fourth Hokage.

Now that Tokiwa is trying to push the future Fourth Hokage into the fire pit, Hashirama naturally cannot agree to it.

Chapter 667 An Hua's Unexpected Turn of Events

After listening, Qu Feng nodded and said, "As I said, I would only let Minato go up if possible. I was thinking of letting Minato practice after we were all exhausted. Since you are so opposed, Master, then I won't take him."

Hashirama was finally satisfied. From the moment Minato arrived in Konoha, Torifu had always said that he would make Minato the Fourth Hokage.

Hashirama hadn't paid much attention before, but seeing Minato's rapid growth and his mastery of the forbidden technique Flying Thunder God, which no outsider could learn, he became more aware.

Hashirama had already considered him a strong contender for the Fourth Hokage.

Now that Tokiwa is trying to push the future Fourth Hokage into the fire pit, Hashirama naturally cannot agree to it.

Tobirama and Ashina both objected to Minato participating in such a strong battle despite his Jonin strength.

They are all potential backers of the Water Gate, so when taking advice, we must listen to their suggestions and not act unilaterally.

Tobirama can be considered Minato's second teacher, and he practically taught him everything he knew about the Flying Thunder God Technique.

As for Ashina, his granddaughter is always running off to the Cloud Clan's territory. You're telling me this is friendship? Who would believe that?

The old man is almost ninety years old, and he's quite shrewd. He can tell what's going on just by looking at him.

Kushina and Minato's relationship is currently in the shy and innocent stage of adolescence, and in some ways it has already gone beyond the scope of good friends.

Ashina couldn't possibly be unaware of it, but Minato was a reliable and honest guy, and also extremely talented, with a top-tier background.

Ashina chose to turn a blind eye; if the young couple could really get together, Ashina would be quite happy.

Therefore, he was even less likely to let Watergate get into danger.

Even Minato himself didn't know when Minato had developed such a large power, and had inadvertently curryed favor with the three old men of Konoha.

I feel like I can go solo now.

"Alright, alright, gentlemen, I won't let Minato participate." Hearing Toru's words, the three old men smiled with satisfaction.

They ignored all other missions issued by the Rain Province, as long as they didn't send Minato to participate in suicide missions that were completely out of his league.

Konoha Village has entered a new era; ninjas no longer need to sacrifice themselves for the village on missions.

"Well, that's good. We old men won't interfere with your decisions on other matters. You can do it yourself."

Hashirama finally smiled; he had been looking rather gloomy ever since Nawaki returned.

It seems to have recovered now.

"Your teacher's wife left really quickly. If you ask me, we should just go to a hot pot restaurant for a meal. Why bother going grocery shopping?"

Hashirama waved his hand: "You don't understand, the taste of home can't be replaced anywhere else."

“Even during the busiest mealtimes in Konoha, Nawaki never feels at home when he eats there. That’s why your master’s wife does this. Actually, she’s quite perfunctory when it comes to cooking.”
