Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

At this stage, Mifune is still in its early stages, and this act of taking wind is considered a form of financial assistance.

It leaves a good impression, at least to some extent.

This village is different from Mifune's village; it belongs to a more prosperous area of ​​the Land of Iron.

The population is significantly larger, and there is no situation where it consists entirely of the elderly, weak, women, and children.

After a brief questioning, the guards at the village entrance let them through, since quite a few people come here to take the boat every day.

There's simply no time to check them one by one carefully.

The first thing to do upon entering the village was to gather intelligence, which Tobirama learned from an old fishmonger.

There are warriors in this village who protect its safety.

The ship to the Land of Hot Springs wouldn't depart until the afternoon, so the two of them had to wait a little longer.

So, Qu Feng suggested finding a small restaurant to fill their stomachs first.

Tobirama naturally had no objections, but he discovered that Torifu really didn't like eating soldier rations.

But that doesn't matter, even he himself can't stand the taste of the soldier's rations.

It's edible, to say the least.

While waiting for all the dishes to be served, Tobirama discussed with Torifu how to quickly defeat and seal the Six-Tails.

But in the end, it's just an idea. Real battles are unpredictable and can't be planned in advance.

The two could only analyze the Six-Tails' abilities and devise corresponding countermeasures.

Meanwhile, Tobirama explained to him that he had developed a new bloodline limit - Ice Release.

He believed that Ice Release would be useful in this battle.

"Ice Release? Is it the same Ice Release technique as the Minazuki clan?"

Qu Feng shook his head to indicate that he didn't know, but he picked up a glass and poured himself a drink.

With a light touch of my finger, white steam began to rise from the wine glass.

The wine in the glass had frozen into ice.

Chapter 62 Six-Tailed Rhinoceros

Tobirama picked up the sake cup and glanced at it: "As expected, it's Ice Release. It should be no different from the Minazuki clan's."

Qu Feng scratched his head: "It was accidentally created when I was developing new techniques. I haven't developed many corresponding ice-style ninjutsu yet."

Tobirama smiled faintly: "It's alright, we can just adapt to the situation."

Soon after, all the dishes they ordered were served, and the two began to eat and chat.

Time flies, and the ship bound for the Land of Hot Springs will set sail soon.

The two paid early and boarded the boat, finding a relatively quiet spot.

This was actually Qu Feng's first time going out to sea by boat.

Whether in his previous life or this one, Qu Feng has never been on a boat, which is a small regret.

Now it's all complete.

Soon after, the ship set sail. The weather was quite nice today, with no storms at sea.

Standing on the deck, looking out at the boundless sea, the gentle sea breeze felt quite pleasant.

Some kind of unidentified seabirds flying around the ship occasionally take a break.

They landed on the ship's mast to rest.

"Brother, how long will it take us to get to the Land of Hot Springs?"

The sailor replied enthusiastically, "The port where we set sail is not far from the Land of Hot Springs; we should arrive around dusk."

"Okay, thank you, sir."

The sailor said it was alright and went back to his work.

I thought it would take another night to sail to get the wind, but I didn't expect it would only take half a day.

They've been gone for far too long since they left the village.

Previous missions only lasted a day or two, but this time it will probably take about half a month for the round trip.

Having learned the exact arrival time, Torifu didn't ask any further questions and quietly sat down next to Tobirama.

Nothing unexpected happened along the way; the two of them deliberately found a relatively quiet place where they wouldn't be disturbed.

There were no foolish bandits or villains who dared to come looking for trouble.

They arrived at the Land of Hot Water safely.

Stepping onto the ground, Qu Feng couldn't help but stretch and yawn: "Finally here!"

"Okay, let's rest for the night first. Next, we need to find the cave where the Six-Tails is hiding. We only have a general direction, not the exact location."

In other words, the real trouble is just beginning.

The land of hot springs, known as Yu-no-Kuni, is full of hot springs and volcanoes, and has numerous underground caves.

Having only a general location can save the two of them a lot of time.

Toru didn't complain, after all, this wasn't about taking away the Tailed Beasts from the Land of Hot Water, but about capturing them.

As soon as they landed, people from the Land of Hot Springs came to investigate, but the two of them already had perfect identities.

They entered the Land of Hot Water without being recognized.

The two randomly chose a hotel that looked decent and settled in.

Then, Qu Feng bought some dry food for the road in a village near the port and brought it with him.

Although it would add some weight, he thought it was better than eating soldier's rations.

And so, the two set off for the area where the Six-Tails was located early the next morning.

The land of hot springs truly lives up to its name; every pond we encountered along the way was bubbling away.

The air was filled with the smell of sulfur.

However, the steam from the hot spring did lift Qu Feng's spirits.

If there is water vapor or mist in the cave, then finding the Six-Tailed Fox is a piece of cake!

Sure enough! When the two arrived at the cave area, Qu Feng discovered that although there were no hot springs, the entire area was shrouded in wisps of morning mist because it was early morning.

He exhaled a breath of cloud air, which mixed with the morning mist, and quickly brought the mist under control.

And under the control of the wind, it spread into every cave entrance.

But after a while, Qu Feng still couldn't sense any life containing chakra.

"Six-Tailed Fox is a giant slug. Don't just look at large caves; essentially, slugs can squeeze into anywhere."

Seeing that Torifu hadn't made any discoveries after so long, Tobirama offered a reminder.

Upon hearing this, Qu Feng manipulated the clouds and mist to explore the small and medium-sized caves.

Sure enough, some clues were found this time.

"Lord Tobirama, I have discovered a trace of chakra, which appears to have been left by the Six-Tails during its movement."

Tobirama nodded: "Direction."

"To the northwest, there is a medium-sized karst cave."

After confirming the location, the two immediately set off for the cave entrance where the six-tailed creature had been found.

The cave was filled with water and very damp.

The sound of the two entering startled a flock of bats, which flew haphazardly around the cave.

Following the direction sensed by the wind and clouds, the two did not get lost in the intricate cave.

They quickly located the spot where the traces they had sensed earlier from the wind.

Tobirama scooped up a handful of 'water' from the ground; it felt slippery and sticky, probably bodily fluids left by some kind of animal.

"It should be the Six-Tails, no doubt."

The slime was moving deeper into the cave, so the two had no choice but to follow the trail.

The wind is always guided by clouds at the forefront, because the terrain inside the cave is complex, and if you are not careful, you may fall into a bottomless pit.

As Tobirama and Tokifu ventured deeper into the cave, the light grew dimmer, and the few cracks in the cave ceiling that used to let in light were now gone.

Now they're gone too; we can only determine our location by sensing things and using torches.

Just as the two turned a corner, Torifu suddenly changed his expression and shoved Tobirama aside!

But he himself was swallowed up by a waterfall of pale yellow acid!

"Humans! Leave my territory!"

A shrill voice came from behind the corner.

Then a huge white slug with six tails slowly emerged, crawling along the wall with its paws.

"Take the wind!" Seeing that Take the wind was being swallowed by the acid, Tobirama ignored what the Six-Tails said and rushed straight up.

"Humans, how dare you ignore me!"

The six-tailed creature spewed out a thick acid mist from its tiny, hole-like mouth, which quickly corroded even the walls of the cave when it came into contact with it!

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"

A ferocious water dragon formed beneath Tobirama's feet and then lunged at Rokubi, dispersing all the acid mist along its path.

However, when the Water Dragon Bullet hit the Six-Tails, it only caused it to stumble slightly and did not suffer any real damage.

"Crystal Release - Crystal Poison!"

From the river formed of acid, a giant crystal serpent leaped out and opened its massive jaws, biting down hard on the six-tailed fox!

The venom quickly spread across the Six-Tails' body, and half of its tail had already crystallized.
