Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

The next morning, Toru went to the Hokage Building for his routine inspection.

Anwar was preparing for the official business he needed to handle this morning, while the puppet sat there waiting foolishly.

Upon seeing that Toru had arrived, Anwa immediately put down his work and said, "Lord Hokage, you have come in person."

"I am very sorry about what happened last night. I'm sure Lady Mito is angry. Please apologize to her for me."

Qu Feng naturally knew what An Hua was talking about. He waved his hand and said, "Master's wife is not angry. You don't need to worry about it. Amado had also made excuses to decline several times before. Master's wife no longer cares whether he attends the dinner or not."

"Uh..." An Hua didn't know whether to congratulate him or not. Why did his words sound like he had completely given up on his father?

But that seems to be the gist of it...

"And you? Were you happy last night? Amado told me that it was your first time eating hot pot, is that true?"

An Hua smiled after hearing this: "I'm very happy. It's rare to have the opportunity to have a meal with friends like this. Yesterday was really the first time I ate hot pot. I never wanted to go alone before."

"If I hadn't run into Amado last night, I probably would have gone to eat at Ichiraku Ramen, since I had an all-you-can-eat voucher."

In fact, Anwar's lifestyle and social circle are quite related to wind-related activities.

Anwar is not introverted; on the contrary, she is quite extroverted and good at communicating with people.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to do the job of the Hokage's secretary.

The main reason for this is that work takes up most of her time, making it impossible for her to seriously make friends or maintain relationships with them.

Over time, aside from dealing with people at work, Anwar stopped making new friends.

After all, it took a long time to find a like-minded friend, but Anwar had to work every day and didn't have time to go shopping or eat with his friend.

In less than a week, her best friend became someone else's best friend.

"Is your workload too heavy? How about I hire an assistant for you? You can manage and assign tasks entirely, which should help you reduce a lot of the workload."

The idea is good, and the suggestion is also good, but Anwar has decided to think about it some more.

Qu Feng also respected her choice.

The main reason we didn't offer Anwar this option before was that he kept saying he was fine.

Therefore, he didn't pay too much attention to taking the wind.

It's still not too late to make some amends now.

"Lord Hokage, please have a seat for a while. I'll make you a cup of tea."

After An Hua finished speaking, he got up to leave, but Qu Feng stopped him again: "Don't bother, I'll stay here for a while and then leave. Will this clone cause any problems when handling official business? Like correcting mistakes or something?"

Anwar recalled that nothing like this had ever happened.

"No problems have been found yet, Hokage-sama, please rest assured. I handle all work matters very seriously."

Qu Feng nodded. As long as no mistakes are made, it's fine. This puppet is hard-won, so we mustn't break it.

Chapter 674 Ready to set off

"Lord Hokage, please have a seat for a while. I'll make you a cup of tea."

After An Hua finished speaking, he got up to leave, but Qu Feng stopped him again: "Don't bother, I'll stay here for a while and then leave. Will this clone cause any problems when handling official business? Like correcting mistakes or something?"

Anwar recalled that nothing like this had ever happened.

"No problems have been found yet, Hokage-sama, please rest assured. I handle all work matters very seriously."

Qu Feng nodded. As long as no mistakes are made, it's fine. This puppet is hard-won, so we mustn't break it.

He doesn't have the ability to repair puppets, so if the puppet breaks, he can only throw it away.

When it comes to handling official business, we'll have to send a clone over.

Afterwards, Toru also left the Hokage's office and prepared to go home.

Anwar and Ammad got along fairly well, and a good start had been made. Now it's just a matter of waiting for them to take things one step at a time.

Just after leaving the Hokage Building, Toruka activated his Concealing Breath Technique and prepared to go home, but Dan noticed Toruka and walked over to him.

"Lord Hokage, all the ninjas from the Anbu who applied to go to Amegakure for missions have been dispatched. Their whereabouts are very secretive and will not be discovered."

After listening to the wind, he nodded. The number of people in Konoha Village's Anbu is currently around one thousand.

He remembered that there weren't many people applying to go to Rain Province, only about a hundred, just enough to make a group.

It's not that the ANBU ninjas don't care about what's happening in Amegakure; it's just that Amegakure is already at full capacity. If a large number of ANBU members went there, it would create an awkward situation where there would be no missions to do.

Therefore, the number of applicants for the "Feng" (a type of wind-related service) program is also limited.

The recruitment quests for the Mission Gathering Hall have also been cancelled.

The ninjas, who had originally planned to observe for a while, were now all kicking themselves.

This task isn't particularly difficult, but it's high-level and offers very generous rewards, making it an excellent way to enhance your resume.

This is undoubtedly a very good opportunity for ninjas who want to improve their rank.

However, many people failed to seize the opportunity and let their hard-earned professional titles slip away.

The recruitment at the mission gathering place lasted only one day, yet several thousand ninjas went to Rain Province.

This shows how much the villagers value the unity of the country.

"Alright, leave the rest to my clone. The ninja world may not be particularly peaceful during this period, so you need to keep a close eye on things and make sure that the kind of attack that happened a few years ago doesn't happen again."

He immediately accepted the order after hearing the message; he had already ordered the ANBU ninjas to go out and gather information yesterday.

We expect to receive the latest intelligence soon.

After discussing some work-related matters, Qu Feng went straight home.

Aside from the Rain Province, there haven't been any major issues to deal with in Konoha Village recently, so everyone is quite relaxed.

The recruitment for the new factory in the back mountain has been completed, and construction of the factory has begun.

The villagers have recovered from the Spring Festival holiday and are back to work.

The entire Hidden Leaf Village began to function smoothly again.

Peace, stability, and harmony—that's what I want. Konoha Village's position in the ninja world is now unquestionable; all that's left is for it to continue developing.

Back home, Minato was practicing the Flying Thunder God Technique in the yard. He was going to Rain Province tomorrow, so he decided to practice his skills beforehand.

After all, we haven't been out on missions for so long during the Lunar New Year, so we need to take advantage of this time to train.

"Yahiko, Konan, after you two go to Rain Province, you must listen to your senior brother. You can only act when he tells you to, understand?"

The two little ones nodded and replied, "We know, Master. You've said it many times already."

Qu Feng smiled slightly upon hearing this: "Don't think I'm being long-winded. Safety is the most important thing. You don't know the strength of the person behind this, so you're naturally not afraid. But that person fought against many Kage-level experts for a long time back then, and in the end, she still managed to escape."

"She has a lot of methods, and they are very unpredictable. She can make people suddenly burn themselves, and she can also raise ordinary people to the level of Kage. You might have encountered a puppet she created. I'm just giving you a heads-up."

Hearing that the mastermind was so powerful, Yahiko and Konan became more cautious, but they were not afraid.

They always believed that no matter how strong they were, they could never surpass their master.

Minato stopped and walked to Torifu's side: "I will take good care of them, don't worry, big brother."

Minato is naturally very reliable, and with his promise, Takefu felt a little more at ease.

"By the way, you might run into Haiyuan on your mission this time. After all, the warriors have also joined the battle and are here to aid our three kingdoms."

Torifu only found out about this last night. The Kazekage and Tsuchikage sent a message to Mifune asking for help.

Later, when the Land of Iron occupies the former territory of the Land of Lightning, both countries will go to help.

Mifune readily agreed to the deal.

Although the former land of the Land of Lightning has few powerful figures, it is rich in bandits and wandering ninjas.

Each mountain was ruled by its own king, and the Land of Lightning had many mountain ranges, with almost every mountain peak having its own band of bandits.

It would be far too difficult for the warriors of the Land of Iron to take over the land of the Land of Lightning.

Over the past five years, we've only managed to get things done in a small area.

The main reason why the Tsuchikage and Kazekage decided to exchange the Land of Lightning for Mifune's territory is that the Land of Lightning is no longer of much use to them.

These two countries are too far from the Land of Lightning. Even if they wanted to send ninjas there for training or to mine resources, the losses from the round trip would be enough to cause them a lot of trouble.

Over time, they stopped sending ninjas there as often.

Only the Land of Fire still regards the Land of Lightning as a testing ground.

After all, it's closer.

The promises these two countries made to the Iron Kingdom were undoubtedly their own land, the part that had been agreed upon in the past.

The trials in the Land of Fire are naturally not included.

However, such a large territory is enough for the Land of Iron to eat for a long time.

Once they have complete control over the resources of the Land of Lightning, then the Land of Iron will be able to become a true superpower.

The fifth great nation of the ninja world is about to reclaim its place.

"Haiyuan is going too? Well, he's quite strong, so it's a good opportunity for him to gain some experience."

After training with Yahiko and Konan for a few days, Haiyuan's strength has greatly improved, and he has also gained new insights into Bushido.

Mifune specifically brought him along on this trip to Rain Province for training.
