Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

Qu Feng didn't beat around the bush with Hui Yao, and directly stated what wasn't a secret: "I estimate that there are around 10,000 ronin camps that I've discovered so far, and ninjas from various countries have been constantly going to hunt down these ronin these days."

"Many ronin have died, but they were mostly low-level fighters. The ninjas haven't suffered any major losses. Overall, things are currently in a stable period."

After hearing Qu Feng's description, Hui Yao could roughly understand the situation there.

"Is that so? It seems it will take some time to find the mastermind. But what's the point of him setting up so many ronin camps?"

Even the wind doesn't know the details of this matter. If it weren't for the joint efforts of the three countries to wipe out the 10,000 ronin camps, it would have taken who knows how long it would have taken.

Hanzo was truly unafraid of trouble and generous with resources, even feeding these ordinary ronin so much food.

I just don't know how he's going to make this move.

Qu Feng was also quite curious about this and wanted to see how things would turn out.

"When do we need to take action?" Jing asked after a long silence.

He tried to analyze the situation, but he had no idea what Hanzo was planning. He was just sending people to their deaths.

Is he trying to buy time with this? But if he wanted to buy time, why did he have the ronin launch a rebellion?

Why not just wait quietly?

Even a quick-witted ninja like him couldn't figure it out, so he had no choice but to give up.

Then he inquired about when the war would begin.

"Hmm... I'm not too sure either, but I'll definitely let you know if there's any news, though I doubt we'll need it."

Qu Feng smiled and then said, "This time I want to try it myself and see if I can defeat Yan."

"This..." Huiyao and Jing were both unsure whether they should offer advice or not.

Jing was present during the last battle with Yan. So many Kage-level fighters joined forces, yet Yan still managed to escape.

Can Feng really defeat Yan by himself this time?

“If you have already made up your mind, I, as your father-in-law, will naturally not say anything more, but you must remember that the ninja world is peaceful and stable today because of you.”

Huiyao's expression was very serious: "If anything happens to you, or your strength drops drastically, the ninja world will definitely be engulfed in war again."

Huiyao's expression was very serious: "If anything happens to you, or your strength drops drastically, the ninja world will definitely be engulfed in war again."

Qu Feng nodded: "Of course I understand that, Father can rest assured."

Since that was the case, Huiyao didn't say anything more, and they simply chatted about some everyday things.

"How are Fugaku and Mikoto getting along? I haven't heard from them lately," Jiri asked.

Jing chuckled after hearing this: "Pretty good. This young couple gets along quite well, and their relationship is quite stable."

"I see. Then I can rest assured." Jiri thought highly of his apprentice, Fugaku.

Both his talent and his ideas are quite remarkable.

He is extremely loyal to his family and has great insight into the family's future development.

Although he is still relatively young, he is already quite well-known within the family.

Many of his clansmen surrounded him, and he was also Jing's very capable assistant.

He usually helps Jing with the family's daily affairs.

After Chiri got married, the master and apprentice still kept in touch frequently, and Fugaku would visit Chiri every now and then with various gifts.

However, there seem to be a lot going on within the family lately, especially since the various families were learning ninjutsu to drive away the Nian beast.

And I was busy coordinating various matters, so I didn't have time to visit Zhili.

It just so happens that Zhili came by today, so it's normal to inquire about the situation.

Zhili was relieved when he realized that his apprentice and wife had a good relationship.

"Haha, Zhili, you don't need to worry about these things. Fugaku is really good at coaxing his wife. Even though they work very late on weekdays, they have never quarreled."

Chiri nodded: "Okay, I understand. If Fugaku makes any mistakes, please remember to point them out to him, brother."

Jing gave an OK sign: "Okay, leave it to me."

The following topics were quite casual, ranging from the highest to the lowest of the low, from trivial matters in Konoha Village to life-or-death issues affecting the entire ninja world.

The main idea is to talk about whatever comes to mind.

When it was almost time, it was time to eat.

The Uchiha clan's cooks are quite good at cooking. I ate quite a lot of it, and it's different from their own cuisine, so I just treated it as a change of pace.

"Then Father, elder brother, we'll head back now," Zhili said with a smile.

It's rare for a family of three to have the opportunity to visit Huiyao together, so everyone was very happy this time.

Huiyao stood at the door waving: "Alright, alright, you guys go back now, come visit often when you have time."

Qu Feng nodded and agreed to the matter.

"I really didn't expect this. I was just planning to go out for a stroll, but I ended up getting a free meal."

"Yeah, who would have thought? It's just the three of us at home, it's really boring. I wonder how Minato and the others are doing."

After finishing their meal, the family of three did not continue strolling around, but returned directly to the Cloud Clan's territory.

Time flew by, and night quietly fell. In the central city of Rain Province, Jiraiya and his group had completed their mission for the day and returned to their apartment before it got completely dark.

"Phew, this journey has been tough, everyone is really amazing."

To be honest, Jiraiya initially thought this mission would be very time-consuming and laborious. After all, with so many kids on a mission together, there would definitely be times when they wouldn't listen to orders or would throw a tantrum.

But to his surprise, this did not happen at all; the children were all very talented and got along very well with each other.

I wasn't distracted by anything.

So by the end of the day, the squad had eliminated more than twenty camps.

The number may not seem large, but conducting both searches and eradication operations is a very laborious task.

An ordinary squad is already considered very capable if they can eliminate around ten.

Jiraiya and his group more than doubled in number, which is an extraordinary achievement.

It's a pity I can't tell anyone, otherwise these kids would be so proud of themselves.

But it's the same if they celebrate in their own apartment.

"Haha, today is our first day on a mission and we've already had a great success! Everyone did a great job. Let's have a nice meal tonight!" Jiraiya praised the children repeatedly.

He felt that it was remarkable for a ninja of that age to have achieved this level of skill, and he was genuinely happy for him.

After Yahiko and Konan graduated from his school, they acted together again after several years, and Jiraiya could clearly feel their growth.

It's not just their strength that has grown; they've improved significantly in every aspect.

As for Minato and Kushina, one is a Jonin and the other is about to be promoted to Jonin.

They definitely meet the standards in all aspects, and Jiraiya was very satisfied with their performance today.

They did not disgrace their elders.

"Jiraiya-senpai, what are we eating today? Have you found a place to eat?"

Jiraiya spread his hands: "Of course not, but I have your older brother's phone number. I can just send him a text message and have him order takeout to be delivered."

Jiraiya had a grin on his face and looked quite unreliable, but Minato had to admit that it was indeed a good idea.

Jiraiya had barely finished speaking when the doorbell rang: "Look, they're already here. Set the table, we'll eat there today."

The children immediately got busy. Although they were tired after a long day, they were all very enthusiastic when it came to food.

"Okay! Let's go now!"

Jiraiya walked to the door and opened it. It was the same familiar face: "Lord Jiraiya, we meet again. This is the dinner that the Hokage ordered for you. Please enjoy."

A group of people entered the house, placed various dishes and staple foods on the dining table, and then left the apartment.

They also knew about the relationship between Jiraiya and the Hokage, and that these children were all actually recruited through connections.

He was naturally more respectful than yesterday, and his words carried a slight hint of flattery.

However, Jiraiya couldn't understand any of this; all he was thinking about was eating as soon as possible!

"Alright, alright, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now. Thank you for your service."

Jiraiya then impatiently closed the door and went to the dining table to begin his feast.

The person outside could only sigh helplessly: "Oh well, this guy doesn't seem very bright. Let's go."

The delivery people behind him also felt somewhat helpless and could only leave dejectedly.
