Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

Haoyuan was taken away by Jing to visit the Uchiha clan for a few days. Qufeng did not refuse, since Jing should take better care of him than Qufeng himself.

Since Haoyuan was bored at home alone, it would be better to let him go and play with Aihua and her brother.

Although there is a significant age gap, it doesn't matter, as long as there is emotional support.

Tu Feng would lie on his chair all day, letting the sun shine on him from dawn till dusk, often forgetting to spend time with Hao Yuan.

When Zhili was at home, he was in charge, so it didn't matter much to Qufeng. But now that Zhili is gone, only Qufeng and Ama are left at home.

He couldn't possibly expect Amado to come and play with Haoyuan, could he? So Qufeng decisively called for reinforcements.

Otherwise, Haoyuan would feel too stifled staying at home all by himself.

Time flew by, and soon it was lunchtime. Amado naturally returned from the office, coming back alone.

The first thing he did upon entering the courtyard was to ask Tōfū: "Brother, is this research department absolutely necessary for Konoha Village?"

Although Amado knew how to invent and manufacture, his thinking was ultimately limited.

"Of course, all electrical appliances are now monopolized by Konoha Village. Other villages have to buy them if they want them, and these are all real money."

"But if others learn our techniques and create their own new ones, they will definitely compete with us for the market."

Without pausing, Qu Feng continued, "The job of your research department is to learn all kinds of advanced knowledge and technology, and then use them to develop even more advanced inventions, so that Konoha Village will always stand at the pinnacle of science and technology."

This explanation was simple and clear, and Amado immediately understood that this was what his elder brother was thinking.

"Then I understand. Brother's concerns are indeed very reasonable."

The factories in Konoha Village generate countless amounts of real money every day.

The other villages were envious, but could only watch helplessly as they did not have the strength to seize it.

Imitation is possible; similar products can be copied and sold.

At the same time, people will delve into the process of imitation, which will also improve their research capabilities.

With improved capabilities, the products we make in the future might be self-sufficient. Even if we don't sell them, simply using them ourselves would be a great loss to Konoha's economy.

Once everything else has been imitated and replaced, Konoha's inventions will become dispensable and will no longer be able to be sold worldwide.

A large number of villagers will lose their jobs, which will lead to panic, unrest and other unstable factors.

It can be said that it is entirely harmful and has no benefit. We should establish a research department as soon as possible and start learning the latest knowledge so that Konoha Village can win at the starting line.

Then other ninja villages will definitely not be able to surpass Konoha.

Qu Feng took out a cell phone and a pile of books from the ring.

"Well, look, this is mathematics, physics, and chemistry. As long as you master these two subjects, you won't have to worry about inventions and creations in the future."

"There are learning videos on my phone that I need to watch simultaneously."

Amado was a little confused. Why did he have to start school already? He hadn't even started dating yet!

"You can take a look in your spare time. Once the research department is officially established, you will start classes. I hope you still remember what it felt like to go to school when you were a child."

Amado took the books and phone in a daze. Only now did he realize, "Brother, are we supposed to study? But I don't have enough time."

Qu Feng gave an OK sign: "Don't worry, it will only take about an hour and a half each day, so it won't interfere with your daily life."

Amado nodded and reluctantly agreed. As it turned out, no one likes to study, especially when it's something they don't understand at all, or even whether they're interested in it.

Amado thought it was awful that he was about to start studying.

But there's no other way; this is the only option.

"By the way, brother, if I were to become a minister, what kind of work would I mainly handle? It seems like you didn't finish explaining back in the office."

Qu Feng nodded, then began to list on his fingers: "Managing subordinates, reporting work, maintaining order during study sessions, actively trying to develop one's own inventions, and finally, inspiring the research enthusiasm of researchers."

That's about it. There's not much else. I think you should be able to handle it.

Amado's lips twitched slightly. He really couldn't understand how his older brother had streamlined so many tasks into a single "management" team.

Qu Feng patted Amado on the shoulder: "It sounds like a lot, but it's actually not that much. You'll know once you try it yourself."

Amado nodded, his mind now numb; all these tasks had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

How could he then concentrate on completing the invention on the blueprints?

"Becoming a minister already gives you real power in Konoha. Don't be ungrateful."

Seeing Amado's dissatisfied expression, Qufeng began to use coercion and enticement.

This trick proved to be quite effective, and Amado immediately smiled and said, "Alright, I'll give it a try. If it doesn't work, then I'll ask someone else for help, brother."

Once we get to this point, there's not much more to say.

The afternoon passed quickly, and Amado had only read a few pages of his textbook.

I didn't understand anything about what was said above.

After opening his learning phone and watching the video, he barely understood a little bit: "This is so difficult! Where did you even get this stuff from, bro?! Isn't this just pure torture? Will it really help with my research?"

Amado remained skeptical; at least for now, he didn't seem to have grasped anything, perhaps because he had only just begun learning.

Chapter 701 The Role of the Gate?

If the relationship is confirmed at this speed, then Tu Feng will truly panic.

The fact that things are like this now shows that Anwar is an honest and upright person, and that he has the same personality as Ammad. The two of them are so compatible, and as they get along better and better, things will probably get better and better.

After leaving the building, Toru didn't know what to do. Haoyuan wasn't home, and neither were Shuimen and the others.

My wife has also gone on a long trip.

The vast Cloud Clan territory is now reduced to just one person, Qu Feng, and a few birds.

It was so deserted that Qu Feng felt as if he had returned to the time when he was a child and lived alone.

It's really hard to get used to when it happens so suddenly.

"Otherwise, I might as well go to Yu Province to find them. Staying at home by myself is really boring."

But this idea was quickly rejected by Qu Feng: "Let's forget it. If Hao Yuan is left alone in the village, the child will definitely cry and make a fuss."

Let's wait until we need you to go. Let's take care of things in the village first.

The first task on the system panel is almost complete. I estimate that the ninjas will be able to finish it in another day or two.

We'll see what the second task is then.

It's likely that Qu Feng is asking him to kill Yan or Hanzo, since these two can be considered remnants of the last Chaos event.

It was only reasonable to eliminate them this time, and Qu Feng didn't pay too much attention to these two people.

What he cared about most was what the reward would be; he hadn't received anything good in a long time.

So I'm really looking forward to this reward, hoping it will be something interesting or useful.

Don't give me that kind of thing again. It's been sitting in my ring for five years without me using it. It's really annoying.

It would have been better if I hadn't thought about it. Ever since I found this broken door in the ring during the Chinese New Year, Qu Feng has become more and more annoyed by it.

Whenever he thought of this thing, he couldn't help but take it out and look at it.

It looks like an ordinary door, nothing special, and the door frame and door panel are somewhat corroded.

It's made entirely of wood, and it seems to be quite old; the wood is a dark brown color.

There seemed to be some kind of pattern drawn on the door panel, or perhaps some kind of writing? Qu Feng could no longer make it out.

It has remained unchanged since he acquired this door panel.

Including the blurry pattern above, Qu Feng has been trying to crack it many times recently, and maybe he can find a way to use it.

Unfortunately, all attempts ended in failure.

It's like an ordinary door panel, completely useless. You can smash it with ninjutsu or cut it with a knife, but it won't leave any marks or cause any damage.

"Is this some kind of shield I've been given?"

He had already tried attacking with half his strength, but the door remained completely unharmed.

This already demonstrates that the door panel is capable of withstanding attacks from a Kage-level attacker.

Qu Feng squinted and muttered, "If I still can't find a way to use you after studying it for a while, I'll use you as a shield."

The blatant threat didn't suddenly make the door panel reveal any special abilities; it still looked as ordinary as ever.

And it's rather old-fashioned.

Having lost interest, Qu Feng put the door into his ring, out of sight, out of mind.

This brief 'interrogation' had already made Qu Feng extremely unhappy.

This broken door was something he had gone through countless hardships to obtain, and even hundreds of Konoha ninjas had to sacrifice themselves for it.

It turned out to be completely useless! After gathering dust like this for five years, no one would be happy about that, right?

Feeling irritable, Qu Feng decided to bask in the sun and get some rest to relax.

It's sunny and bright in Konoha Village, but in Rain Province, it's raining continuously.

Zhili set off to carry out the mission in the direction she was in charge of. The mission area was reasonably allocated after everyone discussed it, and the other teammates were not far away.

If we encounter problems that we can't solve, we can quickly support each other.

At this moment, Zhili was pondering something: how many enemies were actually in the area she was in charge of?

One might not be enough, two would be just right, but three might be too much for us.

While she was thinking, she had already quietly crossed the safe zone and entered the radius of the Rain Province.

That is, deep in the outer perimeter of the central city, there is a place guarded by a Kage-level enemy.

Chiri's Sharingan was always active, and his blood-red eyes and clover-shaped pupils looked particularly imposing under the dark, cloud-covered sky.

Chiri reached out to touch the rain, but the rain was all absorbed by the cloud.

She could only smile calmly and slowly walk into the forest.

Under the Sharingan's gaze, nothing can be hidden; within its range, the number of enemies is crystal clear.

"It seems peaceful here. Let's venture deeper into the area and see what's there."
