Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

All that the Wind Lord can do is to ensure that the ninjas of Konoha Village behave themselves, but there's no need to be overly tolerant. The basic principle of Konoha Village is: I will not offend others unless they offend me.

"Thank you, Lord Hokage! If you hadn't told us about the situation in Amegakure, we wouldn't have been able to carry out our mission immediately upon arrival."

The entire group of ninjas thanked Toru in unison, but everyone deliberately kept their voices down.

They were afraid of disturbing the sleep of the surrounding villagers.

Seeing this scene, Toru was very pleased: "Very good. With ninjas like you, this small rebellion will surely be quelled quickly."

"However, when you're out and about, the mission isn't the most important thing; safety is. Always remember that your family is waiting for you at home."

In Yu Province, nothing has reached the point where success requires sacrificing lives.

Any tricky task can be handed over to a more powerful ninja.

Just do what you're capable of. If all else fails, there's always the option of using the wind as a backup.

"Yes! We understand, Hokage-sama!"

The team waited another twenty minutes, during which time more people kept joining the team.

There were also some people who tried to take advantage of the situation before receiving any missions, but the leader found them and handed them over to the Wind Collector for handling.

But these ninjas didn't do anything wrong; they just wanted to observe for a while, but then the mission was canceled.

Whether it was for their positions or out of genuine concern for Yu Province, Qu Feng would not punish them.

They were only given a verbal warning before being allowed to leave.

Just as the team was about to set off, the last person arrived late.

"Haha, sorry everyone, we're a little late."

The newcomer had long hair that was spread out behind his head like a hedgehog, and carried a large scroll on his back.

His wooden clogs clattered as he walked towards the crowd with a cheerful smile.

"Lord Jiraiya, how could this be? You're not on the list!"

The leader was completely dumbfounded. His roster showed that everyone was present and ready to depart. What was Jiraiya doing?

Yahiko and Konan were overjoyed and waved to Jiraiya, saying, "Jiraiya-sensei! You're going to Rain Province too!"

Jiraiya first nodded to the leader, Yahiko, and Konan as a gesture of greeting.

Then he walked over to Qu Feng's side and said, "Brother Qu Feng, don't worry this time. I'll be carrying out the mission with these three little guys. Nothing will go wrong."

Qu Feng patted him on the shoulder: "OK, I believe in your abilities."

Although it was supposed to be a training trip for Minato and the others, there are hidden threats in Amusei Province after all. It's reasonable to arrange a protector for his younger brother and disciples, right?

Isn't that how it's always written in novels?

Chapter 678 The Long-Awaited Chaotic Event

Yahiko and Konan were overjoyed and waved to Jiraiya, saying, "Jiraiya-sensei! You're going to Rain Province too!"

Jiraiya first nodded to the leader, Yahiko, and Konan as a gesture of greeting.

Then he walked over to Qu Feng's side and said, "Brother Qu Feng, don't worry this time. I'll be carrying out the mission with these three little guys. Nothing will go wrong."

Qu Feng patted him on the shoulder: "OK, I believe in your abilities."

Although it was supposed to be a training trip for Minato and the others, there are hidden threats in Amusei Province after all. It's reasonable to arrange a protector for his younger brother and disciples, right?

Isn't that how it's always written in novels?

Jiraiya had already mastered Sage Mode and was a true sage. He was also the teacher who taught Yahiko and Konan.

It would be most appropriate for him to serve as this protector.

Furthermore, Toru had a small selfish motive: last night, Toru taught Minato his complete method for cultivating immortal techniques.

During this period, let him focus on cultivating immortal arts. With such a great immortal by his side every day, he will definitely provide guidance if he sees Minato making mistakes during his cultivation.

Although the wind-controlling techniques of the Sage Mode differ from those of Mount Myōboku, they are ultimately both applications of natural forces and are largely the same.

Moreover, the climate of the Land of Rain is abnormal, with rain falling continuously throughout the year.

According to Qu Feng, this should be a region with abundant natural forces.

He found a beautiful lake in the Land of Fire and that's how he mastered immortal arts.

The entire Land of Rain has become a lake; how immense must the power of nature be?

But this is just Tofu's guess. Even if Minato doesn't master the Sage Technique, it's good to have a good foundation. Tofu can teach him slowly when Minato returns.

"This...so Jiraiya-sama will be traveling with us to Rain Province?"

Jiraiya laughed loudly, giving a thumbs-up: "Of course. There are fewer combat forces in Rain Province, so I need to go there to oversee things and keep an eye on these three children."

Upon hearing this, the regimental commander immediately nodded, not feeling that this was any kind of special privilege.

Minato's talent is evident to everyone in Konoha. Yahiko and Konan also dominated their peers for a while, with no rivals to be found.

These two geniuses definitely need protection. The captain had originally thought that if he encountered them during a mission, he would definitely take care of them.

Unexpectedly, the Hokage had already arranged for Jiraiya, so he didn't need to worry about it.

The other ninjas had similar thoughts, even though their talent sometimes aroused jealousy.

However, Konoha Village is quite united; when it's time to unite against external threats, no one causes internal strife.

So even if someone is dissatisfied, they will just put up with it.

After the mission is completed, he comes back and complains a bit, but everyone just takes it as a joke and no one cares.

Jiraiya slowly walked to the front of the group, and the leader also consciously stepped down to the second position.

"Alright everyone, let's go!"

As he spoke, he started running quickly, and the whole group of people followed suit.

Minato and the others only glanced back briefly at Torufu before being swept away by the crowd and running off without even waving goodbye.

"In the end, I was just worried about letting the three of them go out and gain experience on their own."

If they really encounter a danger they can't handle, Minato can use the Flying Thunder God Technique to escape, but Yahiko and Konan can only wait to die on the spot.

As for Minato, judging from Tofu's judgment, he would definitely be the first to die in battle to cover his junior brothers and sisters.

After much hesitation, Toki finally decided to ask Jiraiya to protect the children, just in case.

This guy has a generous and easygoing personality, and he knows Yahiko and the others, so they'll definitely get along very well.

If it were someone else, it certainly wouldn't have been as effective as Jiraiya's.

It just so happens that he hasn't been traveling recently, nor has he been busy writing his obscene novels.

So they sent Feng to come over.

As the ninjas gradually moved away from Konoha Village, the first rays of dawn shone across the entire ninja world.

These ninjas, drawn by the light of hope, rushed towards the battlefield.

At the same time, the system, which had been inactive for a long time, spoke up again.

[Ding - A chaotic event has been triggered. Someone with ulterior motives is secretly plotting to take over the Land of Rain.]

[Mission Objective 1: Clear out the ronin camp in the Land of Rain, Current Progress: 1252/12780]

[Task Content 2: Not yet activated.]

Well, the Chaos Event hasn't been triggered for a long time, and even Qu Feng thinks that this system is no longer useful except for exchanging goods.

I didn't expect the function to still work.

"A chaotic event, huh? It's been a long time. The last time I heard about it was five years ago."

Back then, I was dealing with matters concerning the Land of Rain, and now I'm dealing with matters concerning the Land of Rain again. Such a small country has caused so much trouble for the Wind-Taming Clan.

It's a headache just thinking about it.

Qu Feng rubbed his temples and looked at the tasks displayed on the system panel: "Wow, it's evolved? There are even task prompts now."

"1252/12780, it seems the first batch of arriving ninjas have already started to exert their strength."

To Qu Feng's surprise, how could such a small country as the Land of Rain have so many camps? When exactly did this happen?

Can the Land of Rain become the Land of Waves?

Qu Feng found it hard to believe that this land was still his own territory.

"It must have been planned for a long time, otherwise so many ronin would not have suddenly appeared. Perhaps other small countries are also involved this time."

The small countries surrounding the Land of Rain have all been punished by the Wind-Taking Kingdom, and they are still in their most basic stage.

They had nothing; their place was the most backward in the entire ninja world.

This time, it's inevitable that they'll retaliate out of resentment.

However, they are just a mob. Even ants united can be crushed underfoot, just like they were back then.

Qu Feng never took them seriously, and only hoped that Qu Feng was overthinking things.

"The second mission is still locked? I guess it will only be unlocked after the first mission is completed?"

Qu Feng stroked his chin thoughtfully and said, "Then I hope everyone will work harder. I'm quite curious about this second task."
