Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

Hashirama grumbled slightly, "If Nawaki hadn't come back, I wouldn't have been able to enjoy a big meal with him."

The old man has really recovered and has even started joking around, which puts Qu Feng at ease.

His biggest fear was that Nawaki's return would affect Hashirama, but it seems nothing has happened.

"Is there anything else you need to assign? If not, I'll be leaving now and will come back for dinner tonight."

San Deng smiled and waved to Qu Feng: "Okay, just remember to be on time. Everything's fine here, go ahead and get back to work."

Upon hearing this, Qu Feng bid farewell and turned to leave the Thousand Hands Clan territory.

The land of the Thousand Hands tribe is currently in a state of great activity, with every household preparing a variety of delicious foods to send to Rope Tree as an extra meal.

Therefore, the entire Senju clan's territory was filled with fragrance at this time!

Qu Feng was getting hungry, but when he remembered that none of the dishes were for him, he stormed off in a huff.

"Honestly, we're starving. The Thousand Hands Clan's territory is so lively, while the Cloud Clan's territory is much quieter."

But thinking about it, it's alright. They're all trustworthy family members, so Qu Feng isn't envious anymore.

After leaving the Senju clan's territory, Torifu did not go home but went to the Hokage's office.

This is the busiest time of day, as it's almost time to clock out and finish work. Anhua is also rushing to meet deadlines, as she needs to show the daily schedule to Qufeng.

But to his surprise, when An Hua turned around, he saw the Hokage standing at the door waiting for him.

"Lord Hokage, what brings you here? I'm almost done with my work, and I'll show you the task list right away."

As he spoke, An Hua's hands moved even faster. Seeing this, Qu Feng waved his hands repeatedly: "Hahaha, no need, no need. I'm not here to urge you to work. I just came to take a look around. You guys continue."

Qu Feng sat at the edge of the office, not disturbing the puppet as it completed its task.

But sitting there like that was really boring, so I started chatting with Anhua: "Shengshu is back, did you know?"

"Lord Rope Tree? You've finally returned to the village after being away for so long?" An Hua breathed a sigh of relief. Now is the time when Konoha Village needs manpower, and the return of such a powerful force can alleviate some of the personnel shortage problem.

This should give Anwar a sigh of relief.

But then she suddenly remembered that Nawaki might leave again at any time, so she quickly said to Torifu, "Lord Hokage, it would be better if you asked Lord Nawaki not to travel for the time being, but to stay in the village and help out until the current troubles are over, and then let him leave."

Qu Feng immediately realized that An Hua had misunderstood: "After Sheng Shu came back this time, he stopped traveling around the world. The child has had an epiphany and decided to stay in the village and develop his career."

"Huh?" An Hua was clearly surprised; the habit of traveling around the rope tree had lasted for ten years.

They always use taking on long-term tasks as an excuse to leave for half a year or even a year.

This resulted in almost every task running out of time.

An Hua still harbored some resentment towards him, but since even the other man's master hadn't said anything, An Hua, as the Hokage's secretary, had even less right to complain.

Besides, Lord Nawaki is Lord Hashirama's grandson, so it's not her place to give orders.

She only spoke up this time because she was so busy and overwhelmed.

Unexpectedly, this was the result: "Thank goodness, Lord Nawaki is finally going to stabilize."

Seeing this, Qufeng laughed heartily: "Alright, alright, Nawaki was indeed a bit too self-centered before, but he will definitely correct himself in the future. Just keep an eye on him."

An Hua smiled and replied, "Alright, then I'll be watching closely."

An Hua still harbored some resentment towards him, but since even the other man's master hadn't said anything, An Hua, as the Hokage's secretary, had even less right to complain.

Besides, Lord Nawaki is Lord Hashirama's grandson, so it's not her place to give orders.

An Hua smiled and replied, "Alright, then I'll be watching closely."

The return of a fighting force to Konoha Village is something to be happy about no matter what.

Although Anwa didn't have a particularly good impression of Nawaki because of his previous travels, as the Hokage's secretary, she just needed to do her job well.

Furthermore, since the Hokage said that Nawaki was settling down and would no longer travel, she had no reason to dislike Nawaki.

As a secretary, you definitely need to be on good terms with every ninja in the village. Even if you can't be on good terms with them, you can't be on bad terms with them, otherwise it will be difficult to carry out your work.

Anhua understood this principle well, so she was always smiling and very polite to everyone.

So much so that when they first inquired, they thought Anwar's attitude toward Amado was just out of professional ethics. Only after asking did they discover that Anwar actually had some affection for Amado.

That's why the wind-catching process started to facilitate connections.

"There doesn't seem to be much work to do today. Let's just leave when it's time to go home and not work overtime."

An Hua nodded after hearing this: "Okay, Lord Hokage. Actually, I haven't been working overtime much lately, and I'm actually a little unaccustomed to it."

Anwar is usually very busy, and he should be even busier with the arrival of the new year.

But for some reason, the workload in the office has decreased significantly, and now Anhua is able to leave work on time every day.

We can also go out for a stroll and eat at some delicious restaurants. In short, life is much more relaxed than before the New Year.

But perhaps her previous busy work had made Anhua accustomed to it, and suddenly having free time always gave her a strange sense of crisis, feeling that there must be a lot of things that hadn't been dealt with.

What should we do if it affects the village?

But in fact, she had already completed her mission perfectly; it was just that she had taken the wind to get the puppet to help with some of the tasks.

This gave Anwar ample time.

"What's there to be unaccustomed to? Going to work is for a better life, but you're not living just to go to work better. You need to distinguish between what's important and what's not."

After being given a few pointers by the wind, An Hua smiled and said, "Yes, Hokage-sama, I will. But I really need some time to get used to it. I feel like my daily routine has become a bit chaotic."

After listening to the wind, a barely perceptible smile appeared on his face, and his fingers tapped lightly on the table: "If you feel really bored, you can go to the Cloud Clan's territory and chat with Zhili. She's always alone at home, which is quite dull."

"Lord Chiri? Sure, I'll have a chat with Lord Chiri when I have the chance."

The villagers of Konoha get off work relatively early; normally they finish get off work at four o'clock.

However, the work is usually quite complicated, so all the employees of the Hokage Building have to stay one or two hours longer to leave work.

Of course, there is triple overtime pay.

Today, An Hua left the Hokage Building at 4:01 PM: "Phew, time to get off work."

Qu Feng stayed in the office for about half an hour before leaving. After An Hua finished his own work, he left work on time.

"The Senju clan will definitely be holding a welcome party today. The Hokage and Lord Jiri will definitely be there, so I don't need to go and chat with Lord Jiri. Where should I go for a stroll?"

Anwar had no particular destination in mind, so he simply strolled around the streets.

The streets of Konoha Village at this time of day were relatively unfamiliar to her; she was usually working at this time.

Even during holidays, Anwar would help Tsukfeng with some things.

"Going home is just being alone anyway, so I might as well wander around the streets."

Anhua started walking along the main street, talking to himself.

We passed by a barbecue restaurant and a hot pot restaurant, and the aromas were absolutely irresistible.

But eating alone is really boring. Not only does he lose interest in eating, but seeing other tables filled with friends drinking and chatting makes Anhua feel very lonely.

So she almost never went to those two restaurants; she would just randomly pick a restaurant to eat at each time.

Ichiraku Ramen is her favorite. Although the business is so popular that there are long queues, Anhua is not afraid. Toru is a shareholder of Ichiraku Ramen.

He once gave Anwar a voucher for unlimited, no-queue dining at Ichiraku Ramen as a gift.

This can be considered as Anwar experiencing a privilege.

Just as Anhua was about to turn around and go to Ichiraku Ramen, he seemed to spot someone from a distance.

The man also saw An Hua and quickly walked over.

"Miss Anhua, why are you shopping alone?" Amado asked in confusion. Shouldn't Anhua be at work at this time?

When Anwar saw that the person who came was Amado, he smiled. This was one of the few people he had contact with besides his tribe and work.

Moreover, she had some affection for Amado, so she was naturally quite happy.

"It's Lord Amado. I don't know why, but my workload has decreased a lot lately, so I'm leaving get off work earlier. Maybe it's because Konoha Village is becoming more and more stable."

Amado nodded after hearing this, "So that's how it is."

"I could see you hesitating from a distance, were you choosing between barbecue or hot pot?"

Seeing that Amado had misunderstood, Anwar immediately explained, "No, no, no, actually I wasn't planning on eating at either of those places. I was just about to go to Ichiraku Ramen."

Well, he gave two wrong answers right off the bat. Amado scratched his head awkwardly. He hadn't expected that Anwar, who was standing right in front of both shops, wouldn't go in.

"Are you having ramen again tonight?"

"Yes, that's right. It's mainly because I'm eating barbecue or hot pot by myself, which just doesn't really interest me." An Hua's tone was slightly apologetic, with a hint of helplessness.

For so many years, she has focused on her work, and she really doesn't have many friends to have meals with.

She had tried hot pot and barbecue, but all the other tables were full, and she was all alone.

Anwar never went there again after that.

"I'll go with you."
