Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

Moreover, with so much money that it's impossible to spend it all, this kind of life can be described as heaven on earth.

Rain Province has been peaceful and stable for many years, but it has started to become chaotic in the last few months. However, Kakuzu believes that it will be quelled soon.

"Uncle, after all these years, you haven't changed at all!"

Minato was a little confused. Kakuzu looked just like this when he was a child and Kakuzu brought him to Konoha.

Ten years have passed, and she still looks the same; her appearance has not changed at all.

Kakuzu didn't know how to answer, so he just chuckled and said, "It's because of ninjutsu."

Minato nodded after hearing this.

He had previously asked his older brother what Kakuzu's ninjutsu was, and Torifu's answer was: 'A ninjutsu that can extend lifespan.'

But what Minato didn't know was that the prerequisite for extending one's lifespan was to remove someone else's heart and use their lifespan to increase one's own.

It can be described as an extremely evil ninjutsu; in the entire ninja world, only Kakuzu knows it.

"Are you going on a mission? You seem to have adapted to the pace here."

Yahiko and Konan nodded: "Yes, Uncle, we must complete the task assigned by our master properly."

Kakuzu smiled knowingly after hearing this: "That's right, you two are absolutely right."

At that moment, Jiraiya and Kushina walked over. Jiraiya knew Kaku, but they weren't close.

On the previous visits to Amegakure, Jiraiya had met Kakuzu, but the age gap between them was too great, so they didn't have much to talk about.

Kakuzu thought Jiraiya was just a kid, so their relationship remained at the stage of getting to know each other.

But this time, he didn't use the same attitude as before. When he saw Jiraiya walking over, he took out a map from behind his back.

He handed it to Jiraiya: "I have something here that can help you increase your speed and save you a lot of travel time. This is a rough map of an enemy camp that the leader drew yesterday, but it's not 100% guaranteed. You can use it as a reference."

"This! There's actually something like this?"

Jiraiya immediately took the map, opened it, and saw that it was indeed full of punctuation marks.

Kakuzu smiled and said, "You are the first to have it, so you can seize the opportunity. This thing will be distributed soon, so you'd better take advantage of this time to wipe out as many as possible."

All five of them patted their chests confidently: "Don't worry, that's for sure."

Jiraiya thought this person wouldn't be easy to get along with, but it turns out he just seems cold on the outside, but is actually a very nice person on the inside.

Kakuzu waved his hand: "It's alright. It was going to be deployed on a large scale anyway. It's no big deal to do you a favor. But remember to mark some of the camps that were wiped out, and then come back and tell me tonight."

Kakuzu smiled and said, "You are the first to have it, so you can seize the opportunity. This thing will be distributed soon, so you'd better take advantage of this time to wipe out as many as possible."

All five of them patted their chests confidently: "Don't worry, that's for sure."

Jiraiya thought this person wouldn't be easy to get along with, but it turns out he just seems cold on the outside, but is actually a very nice person on the inside.

Kakuzu waved his hand: "It's alright. It was going to be deployed on a large scale anyway. It's no big deal to do you a favor. But remember to mark some of the camps that were wiped out, and then come back and tell me tonight."

Even so, Jiraiya and the others thanked him repeatedly, as this item would undoubtedly save a lot of time for Minato to train.

If Minato can master Sage Mode, then Konoha Village will have four Sages.

"Alright, you guys should go and carry out your mission now. I need to go to my office too. Come find me after the mission is over."

Kakuzu has been incredibly busy lately, a lifestyle completely different from his usual routine.

With so many people pouring into the central city, it all needs to be managed. The managers of the other two villages are somewhat afraid of the Hokage, so they have Kakuzu relay the matters on their behalf.

Kakuzu was actually a bit annoyed, but he had no choice but to help out for the sake of friendly relations between the villages.

Although Kakuzu is not from Konoha, he is a member of the Wind-Taming Organization, so he must think about the leader's interests.

"Okay, Uncle Kakuzu, we'll be going now. We'll come find you another day."

Kakuzu waved and turned to leave, while Minato and the others once again embarked on their mission.

"Ah, such a good thing happened so early in the morning, I feel much more energetic."

Jiraiya stretched and said comfortably, "I spent the whole day yesterday running around searching, and I only found about twenty camps."

With punctuation marks now in place, they only need to sweep through the area methodically, planning their routes carefully to launch a sweep.

The remaining time was left for Minato to practice his immortal arts.

It was a huge help.

I don't know if it was because Tofu discovered the problem with Minato's training that this map was created.

This would allow him to have more time to cultivate immortal arts.

"Jiraiya-senpai, where should we go first?"

Jiraiya opened the map in his hand, which was no different from his own map, except that it had many more red dots on it.

"Let me take a look first. We need to find a road we didn't take yesterday, and one that's a bit further away."

Jiraiya looked around and thought the western direction was pretty good, as the camps there were more concentrated and the locations were relatively far from the central city.

Given the current pace of exploration by ninjas, they probably haven't been there yet.

"Alright, let's head west today and wipe out the ronin in the west!"

After setting their destination, everyone quickly left the central city and headed towards the first camp.

The journey was filled with lakes and puddles, with almost no flat land. The land area of ​​the Rain Country was actually not small; it was quite good among small countries.

However, due to the year-round rain, the country is unable to grow its own food and has to purchase it from other countries.

It's unpleasant to have your lifeline in someone else's hands, which explains why Hanzo chose to cooperate with Yan and declare war on other countries.

His idea was good, but his approach was wrong.

If you start with a small country, the big countries probably won't stop you.

If a country can conquer some countries with land and produce its own food, then the country will have nothing to worry about.

Unfortunately, he took too big a step and overestimated his own abilities.

"Attention everyone, we're almost at the first camp. Let's finish this quickly."

Upon hearing Jiraiya's prompting, everyone immediately went into battle alert.

A few minutes later, the five quietly arrived at the side of a thicket of bushes. In front of them was a small campsite with about ten people.

These ronin wore straw hats, but their clothes were already soaked by the rain.

They sat in front of a rather simple tent, talking about something.

"It's a small camp, so let's leave it to Kushina."

Jiraiya's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for the ronin to hear.

They immediately became alert, picked up the weapons beside them—knives and swords—and seemed to be quite skilled.

Seeing that she had already alerted the enemy, Kushina's plan to launch a sneak attack failed. She rolled her eyes at Jiraiya and walked out of the bushes.

The ten ronin were on high alert when they noticed a little red-haired girl walking out.

He was stunned for a moment, then smiled, his eyes filled with greed.

"I was just getting bored guarding this place, and here comes someone to relieve my boredom. Let's grab her."

There seemed to be a leader among this group, but it didn't matter anymore. Kushina quickly formed hand seals and then clapped her hands together.

More than a dozen golden chains shot out from her, attacking the group of ronin!

The ronin's expressions, which had been filled with desire, changed rapidly, turning into expressions of pleading in an instant.

Kushina's chains were faster.

In the blink of an eye, it took their lives.

Only the leader remained, and he used his steel knife to defend himself.

Kushina found it amusing: "Chakra, you're a ninja? Then you should know the difference between us."

Kushina knew from his crude chakra control that his strength was definitely that of a genin, or even weaker.

The gap between them is undoubtedly huge.

"Stop talking nonsense!" The ronin raised his steel sword and pointed it at Kushina. At this moment, he had no intention of avenging his brothers.

He didn't intend to fight Kushina to the death, and was looking for an opportunity to escape.

His eyes were fixed on Kushina, while his brain raced, trying to find a way to escape.

But before it could run for long, it suddenly crashed.

Because his head had been pierced by a trident shuriken.

"Alright, Kushina, there's no need to waste time on him. Let's go."

Kushina spread her hands and pouted helplessly: "Fine, I was thinking of playing with him for a bit."

Before leaving, the group disposed of the body using ninja-specific methods of corpse disposal.

Otherwise, if we let them stay here, it could cause a plague, which is no joke.

"Alright, kids, our first stop went very smoothly. Now we're heading to our next destination."

Jiraiya never made a move; he simply watched from the sidelines to prevent Kage-level ninjas from attacking the children.
