Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

When Minato and his group left the city in the morning, they saw that Jiraiya was accompanying them, and the Konoha ninjas inside the city were extremely envious.

But they knew that this was the Hokage's arrangement, and ordinary people like them certainly wouldn't have this treatment.

But it also gives me a day off, so in the end I still benefit from not having to work so hard.

The rewards for completing the tasks are all the same.

"Kids, it's almost time now. We just received an invitation from our eldest brother to have dinner at his place tonight."

Jiraiya entered the living room and spoke to Minato and the other two.

"Shall we set off now, Jiraiya-senpai?"

Jiraiya snapped his fingers: "Sure, we can chat for a while over there, so let's all get moving!"

Jiraiya's outfit was typical casual wear in Konoha Village, a loose robe that gave off a relaxed vibe.

Meanwhile, Minato and his two companions wore the robes of the Cloud Clan, making them stand out from Jiraiya.

This annoyed him, but he couldn't vent his anger because they were wearing items belonging to Brother Feng's family, and saying too much would be disrespectful.

The ancestors of the Cloud Clan were even known to the Great Toad Immortal, which shows how ancient and prestigious the clan is.

His clothes and everyday items were all carefully chosen, but as an outsider, he wouldn't comment on them.

Soon, Minato and the other two had changed their clothes, and the four of them immediately headed towards the Hokage's residence.

Qu Feng currently lives in the most unique apartment building in the apartment complex. Qu Feng said that once you see it, you know it's his home.

Jiraiya was initially puzzled, but when he saw that the exterior wall of the apartment was covered with dense writing, he immediately went up and knocked on the door.

"Brother Qufeng, open the door, we're here."

After a while, it was indeed Qu Feng who came to open the door: "Haha, I knew you could find it, after all, I'm the only one in the entire central city who did this."

Jiraiya chuckled, unsure of what to say, as he couldn't understand the writing at all. He could only make out a few characters; the rest were completely unfamiliar.

"Brother, what kind of character is this? I've never seen it before?"

Chapter 708 Casual Chat in the Apartment

Qu Feng currently lives in the most unique apartment building in the apartment complex. Qu Feng said that once you see it, you know it's his home.

Jiraiya was initially puzzled, but when he saw that the exterior wall of the apartment was covered with dense writing, he immediately went up and knocked on the door.

"Brother Qufeng, open the door, we're here."

After a while, it was indeed Qu Feng who came to open the door: "Haha, I knew you could find it, after all, I'm the only one in the entire central city who did this."

Jiraiya chuckled, unsure of what to say, as he couldn't understand the writing at all. He could only make out a few characters; the rest were completely unfamiliar.

"Brother, what kind of character is this? I've never seen it before?"

Qu Feng waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to pay attention: "This is the script of our Cloud Clan. Just treat it as an art piece and don't take it too seriously."

Jiraiya scratched his head, but eventually went inside.

This sudden movement, however, left him somewhat numb.

Chiri sat on the sofa watching TV, while Tsunade peeled and ate an orange; they were both dressed in the clothing of the Cloud Clan.

Jiraiya was the only one dressed in the Konoha style, and it was the oldest version of that style, seemingly influenced by his father.

Because no one in Konoha Village dresses like him anymore; he's purely a product of the old era.

"You guys came pretty fast. We haven't even cooked yet. Come in and have a chat."

Tokiwa greeted them warmly, and Tsunade also got up and handed an orange to Jiraiya.

When treating the black wolf, Tsunade chatted with Jiraiya for a bit, but they didn't seem to get along particularly well.

I never expected to see you again at home.

This made Tsunade a little embarrassed.

Jiraiya gave a big, carefree smile, then accepted the orange and sat down on the sofa.

"Tell me, how did you feel about today's task?"

Feelings? Minato thought for a moment. If he had any feelings, it would be that he understood the power of a Kage-level being.

Jiraiya's ability to face four upgraded Kage-level opponents single-handedly is already quite an achievement.

Yahiko and Konan felt that life was too fragile; a gentle poke could kill a person.

They've killed countless people these past few days, which has led them to this feeling.

After hearing the three people's answers, Qu Feng could only say that they were all quite quick-witted, but that was about it.

The compliment I had planned to give vanished before I could even utter it.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. What do you want to eat tonight? Let your teacher's wife cook it for you."

Minato was the first to raise his hand: "Sweet and sour fish! I love my master's wife's sweet and sour fish!"

Yahiko and Konan quickly added, "We want sweet and sour fish too!"

Although she hadn't cooked yet, Zhili was immediately happy to see how much the children liked her sweet and sour fish.

"Just wait, we're having sweet and sour fish tonight."

However, we can't just eat sweet and sour fish; we need to make some other dishes as well.

Zhili opened the refrigerator, and sure enough, it was empty, cleaner than her face.

There wasn't even a single fish scale, let alone any fish. The refrigerator was brand new and had never been used.

"Oh well, looks like I need to go buy groceries. You guys wait at home for a bit."

"OK!"

"Yes, Master's wife, please go and come back quickly."

After Chiri left, the room fell into a brief silence. Minato, Yahiko, and Konan didn't know what to talk about.

The awkward silence continued until Jiraiya finally spoke up: "Big brother, did you assign tasks to the other two countries this afternoon?"

Qu Feng nodded upon hearing this: "Of course, I am in charge of everything in Yu Province. Before the other Shadows arrive, I am the highest-ranking official here."

"That's good. It seems that once the Kage-level enemies in their two countries' territories are eliminated tomorrow, our mission will be completed soon!"

The only obstacle currently blocking our progress is the Shadow-level enemies. Once we kill them all, we can proceed with the remaining red dots on the map.

It is estimated that it will be completely cleaned up in one day.

Qu Feng also looked at the map: "Yes, the speed is about what I expected. After the camps are all wiped out, I want to see what they will do next."

The system will provide hints about the conspiracies hidden within the chaotic events, so Qu Feng isn't afraid of their schemes or anything like that.

Once the second mission is unlocked, everyone will know what to do next.

This second task has been on my mind for a long time, and I still haven't opened it yet.

It seems that the only way to unlock new missions is to wipe out all the camps.

Everyone in the apartment sat together and chatted about many things. Tsunade had been sitting on the sofa listening to them talk until they got to know each other better, at which point she joined in the conversation.

"Once the mission is over, you can all go home. Do you miss home?"

Minato shook his head: "No, I'm used to it because I'm always on missions and I have companions with me, so I don't miss home that much."

Yahiko and Konan both shook their heads, indicating that they didn't miss home much.

Tsunade, however, found the place rather boring and already missed Duan after only a short while.

That makes perfect sense, since their relationship is still as passionate as when they first fell in love.

It's normal for each other to miss each other.

Children are playful and don't think about home. Seeing the unique scenery of the Land of Rain and their daily tasks makes them forget about home altogether.

Jiraiya goes without saying; he practically lives wherever he goes. If it weren't for his mother and father in Konoha, he probably wouldn't have returned to Konoha even once in over a decade.

He is the kind of person who is naturally free-spirited and loves to explore, discover, and experience things everywhere.

In the process, he will grow, and he also has the prophesied child left to him by the Great Toad Sage to find.

This made him even busier, and he would go out to look for things whenever he had a spare moment.

After all these years, nothing has been found, but a lot of imperial edicts have been written, and they have become incredibly popular by accident.

It's now a bestseller throughout the entire ninja world, even outselling some older appliances.

It also means achieving complete financial freedom.

If it weren't for the incident in Yu Province, which led to Qu Feng keeping him behind and giving him some tasks to complete, he probably would have already gone out to travel and search for the Child of Prophecy.

If you pursue such illusory and ethereal things as prophecy, you may never find it in your lifetime.

If you let things take their natural course, one day you will find that the prophecy has already come true, but you just didn't realize it at the time.

Jiraiya took this prophecy very seriously, since it was related to him.

Because of a vague and unfounded prophecy, Jiraiya has taken in countless disciples.

Jiraiya took this prophecy very seriously, since it was related to him.

Because of a vague and unfounded prophecy, Jiraiya has taken in countless disciples.

However, each time he would conquer the other party with his own strength, then preach a few words, teach them some profound principles, and point them in the right direction.

Jiraiya considered this as enough to be his disciple, which was quite casual of him.
