Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

Chapter 697 New Mission

Upon hearing what Ebizo said, Toruka noticed that the man behind him had red hair, just like that kid Sasori.

The man also took a step forward: "Greetings, Lord Hokage. I am Sasori's father and Elder Chiyo's son."

"Scorpion gained a lot during his trip to Konoha with the Kazekage, and I am very grateful for the Hokage's generosity."

Qu Feng nodded inwardly, thinking that the boy was quite polite. He then waved his hand and said, "It's alright. I just liked Scorpion, so I gave him some small gifts. Don't worry about it."

"This matter in Rain Province involves three of our countries and the Ninja Village. I hope we can unite as one and completely resolve this troublesome issue."

Ebizo was the first to nod: "Of course, our three countries are allies, so of course we must work together. The Kazekage specifically instructed us to obey the Hokage's orders."

Qu Feng smiled slightly at this: "That's good. With such a luxurious lineup, clearing out some Kage-level ninjas who have been forcibly promoted should be a piece of cake."

"But for now, everyone should rest for a while, and we can discuss these matters together this afternoon."

Both Ebizo and Rōshi agreed, saying that nothing could be accomplished in a morning.

Instead of rushing out and wandering around aimlessly, it's better to plan ahead and then complete the task in a reasonable manner.

This will save a lot of time.

After watching them chat on the street for a while, Minato turned and left.

Discussing plans is their business; he has a mission today.

They were supposed to go with Jiraiya-senpai to wipe out the camp, so they must have gotten up by now.

Shuimen then turned around and went back into the apartment.

Upon entering, they found Jiraiya sitting on the sofa writing a book: "Minato, I thought it was someone coming over so early in the morning."

"Why are you awake so early? Did you not sleep well last night?"

Minato shook his head upon hearing this: "No, I just heard some noise outside and thought something had happened. It turned out that the ninjas from Sunagakure and Iwagakure had arrived, and my brother even went to greet them."

Jiraiya responded but said nothing, seemingly unconcerned about such matters, and continued to concentrate on writing his book.

That's true. If they were really curious, they probably would have run out already.

Minato also couldn't figure out Jiraiya's preferences; sometimes he would show great interest in something.

But when I saw it a second time, I really disliked it.

But he has always had a great fondness for beautiful women. Is this what it means to be a grown man?

Jiraiya scratched his head, seemingly out of inspiration: "Oh well, I'll write it later."

Then he looked at Minato and said, "Go and call them. We'll grab something to eat and then we'll leave."

"Alright." Just as Minato was about to leave, he noticed that Yahiko and Konan had already come out.

Kushina finished getting ready and came down from the second floor: "Ah, it's so noisy so early in the morning, what's going on outside?"

After Minato recounted what he had seen, Kushina understood: "Well, it looks like our mission is getting easier and easier."

Once these reinforcements kill the Kage-level enemies, they can advance quickly and probably wipe out the entire camp in no time.

"Isn't this good? Let's quickly kill all these ronin so we can go back to the village. We really don't feel comfortable here."

The things Shuimen wasn't used to were the food, transportation, and the weather, but the accommodations were fine.

It's inferior to Konoha Village in every other aspect, but when going on long-distance missions, we have to make do.

After everyone woke up and went downstairs, they ate something simple and then set off.

Their destination today is the east of the central city. According to the information they've gathered, there is only one Shadow-level character in a large area to the east.

Jiraiya will deal with that Kage-level opponent, while Minato and the others will take the opportunity to wipe out the surrounding camps.

After making the plans, they set off in a hurry.

The clan leaders who arrived in the central city last night have also left the city to carry out their assigned tasks at the places they were assigned yesterday.

The clan leaders' mission areas are relatively close to each other, and the remaining areas are handed over to the Kage-level members of Sunagakure and Iwagakure, who are only responsible for their own tasks.

Meanwhile, the two teams that had just arrived in the central city were heading to their lodgings under the guidance of their respective national administrators.

Each village has its own residence in the central city, and they are all at a certain distance from each other, so they are not mixed-use.

The samurai from the Iron Kingdom were temporarily staying in the houses of the natives in the central city. Since not many samurai came to help, there was no housing crisis.

The morning passed quickly, and both teams were assigned their respective areas of responsibility, ready to set off early the next morning.

Now, Qu Feng was truly relieved, as long as he killed or drove away all the Kage-level enemies.

Then we can quickly wipe out the camp. Seeing that the mission progress has slowed down recently, Qu Feng is not in a good mood.

But now I can relax.

"Then let's wait for their good news." Qu Feng put his hands behind his head and leaned back leisurely in his office chair.

He was all alone in the empty office, which made him seem rather lonely.

"Hey, Chiri's gone on a mission too, there's no one to talk to. And Kakuzu! Where did Kakuzu go?!"

No sooner had Qu Feng finished speaking than there was a knock on the office door: "What is it, Chief? Did you need to see me?"

Qu Feng was stunned for a moment. How come this guy is always available whenever we call?

"No, it's nothing. I just wanted to ask you about work."

Kakuzu understood immediately: "Then let me report to you. Currently, the total number of camps cleared in the entire central city has exceeded six thousand. The remaining ones are being protected by the Kage, so it seems that we can soon begin a full-scale offensive."

Qu Feng glanced at his panel and saw that the numbers were roughly the same, indicating that Kakuzu had not lied or exaggerated his workload.

He is an excellent subordinate.

"Have any of our brothers in the Lotus Organization been injured or killed?"

It's been a long time since I've asked about the organization. I've almost forgotten that I'm the leader. I'm really oblivious to what's going on around me.

He left everything to Kakuzu to handle.

Kakuzu was very happy to hear this; the leader was finally taking them seriously!

"That's right. So far, none of our staff have been killed, but we have a lot of injured people, ranging from minor to serious injuries."

Kakuzu then added seriously, "We treated it immediately, so it won't leave any aftereffects."

Chapter 698 Learning to Be Balanced

He is an excellent subordinate.

"Have any of our brothers in the Lotus Organization been injured or killed?"

It's been a long time since I've asked about the organization. I've almost forgotten that I'm the leader. I'm really oblivious to what's going on around me.

He left everything to Kakuzu to handle.

Kakuzu was very happy to hear this; the leader was finally taking them seriously!

"That's right. So far, none of our staff have been killed, but we have a lot of injured people, ranging from minor to serious injuries."

Kakuzu then added seriously, "We treated it immediately, so it won't leave any aftereffects."

Currently, all members within the organization were recruited by Kakuzu through various methods, and there is already a group of very loyal core members.

The members are all very strong, with the lowest level being Jonin. They were all recruited from all over the country. If it weren't for Kakuzu's long lifespan, no ordinary person could have done something like this.

Hearing Kakuzu's answer, Torifu was quite satisfied, as he had never been very concerned about the members of the organization.

His welfare benefits were also worse than those in the village, which somewhat overlooked the fact that the organization members had risked their lives for him.

'Sigh, it seems I need to learn how to be fair from now on.' It's quite difficult to be impartial.

Tu Feng always gives the best things to the villagers, and the villagers are always the first to buy and use the latest inventions.

The welfare benefits provided to the Lotus Organization are almost non-existent, only slightly better than those in other countries.

But they had no complaints and continued to follow Qu Feng loyally.

"Okay, as long as no one dies, that's fine. Tell everyone to be careful and only move when it's safe. Remember, no one is more important than the mission."

Kakuzu nodded: "Chief, I understand."

The two of them managed the Lotus Organization, but their thoughts were completely opposite.

Kakuzu felt that the wind-transferring technique had been done very well.

The Lotus Organization has abundant funds and excellent benefits; all the materials for building the base were provided by the leader.

It's enough to give our brothers, who have been wandering around, a place to stay.

These were ninjas who wandered from place to place for various reasons, and there was nothing they longed for more than having a home.

Although it's just a small house, as long as you have a house and a home, you have hope and motivation in life.

The brothers' request was very simple, and the leader has already granted it all for them.

"Chief, is there anything else? If not, I'll continue with my business."

Qu Feng thought for a moment, and since there seemed to be nothing else to do, he nodded and said, "I'm all set here, you can go ahead and get back to work."

The central city is currently extremely busy. Don't be fooled by the leisurely atmosphere here; it's because he has delegated all his tasks to others, which gives him time to rest.

The three managers had no objections, feeling that the Hokage had already done enough.

Not only are the people of Konoha Village taken care of, but the other two villages receive similar treatment, so it won't arouse envy or jealousy.

Bored, the Wind Clone took out his phone, skillfully logged into his Naruto account, and prepared to start playing the game.

But then I suddenly remembered that the main character was still playing, and I was already logged in.

Upon checking the game history, there was indeed a record of a recent defeat.

The clone awkwardly spread its hands: "There's nothing I can do, main body. Why didn't you tell me?"

Far away in Konoha Village, Toru was looking at his game interface that had been taken down, lost in thought.

After being stunned for five minutes, I finally decided to let it go and not bother with a clone.

Since we can't play games, we might as well go for a walk.
