Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

"Oh, it's over already? What a pity. I thought I could stay for a while longer."

The person who spoke was a ninja from Sunagakure. It seemed that he had killed many enemies in this operation, so he felt it was a bit of a pity, after all, it was such a good training ground for combat!

Although the training process is brutal, it is also part of the mission. When the two sides collide, the mission is definitely more important.

"Staying here for a while is no problem at all. The central city is permanently open, and it can be considered your second village. If you stay here for a while, Fengying won't say anything to you."

Chapter 717, Second Mission Begins

"Oh, it's over already? What a pity. I thought I could stay for a while longer."

The person who spoke was a ninja from Sunagakure. It seemed that he had killed many enemies in this operation, so he felt it was a bit of a pity, after all, it was such a good training ground for combat!

Although the training process is brutal, it is also part of the mission. When the two sides collide, the mission is definitely more important.

"Staying here for a while is no problem at all. The central city is permanently open, and it can be considered your second village. If you stay here for a while, Fengying won't say anything to you."

Ebizo shook his head: "Never mind, there are many things to do in the village. Speaking of which, Hokage, although the apparent crisis and rebellion have been resolved, the person behind it all has not yet appeared. Is the matter truly over?"

Whether it was a Kage-level enemy or a ronin camp, these people could be said to have no strength at all, and they won easily.

It's as if they were deliberately sent out to be killed.

Why is the person behind this doing this? What is their next plan? Ebizo has questions about all of these.

But after listening to the wind, he waved his hand and said, "I will handle the rest. If your two villages are worried, you can have the Kazekage and Tsuchikage come to support us personally. As for the others, there is no need to come, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."

Ebizo had considered that he might not know what would happen after obtaining the wind, but he never expected that Ebizo would say something like that.

"You mean, to fight against the person behind this all by yourself? I heard from Lord Fengying that he suspects Yan is behind this again. Back then, she escaped despite being surrounded by so many people, but now..."

Qu Feng smiled slightly: "The me of yesteryear is not the me of today."

With his current strength, Qu Feng has already stepped into the Six Paths level, but he still hasn't found a way to truly break through to the Six Paths level.

It seems that cultivation alone is no longer enough for Qu Feng to improve; he has already reached the pinnacle of cultivation that humans in this world can achieve.

To break through, we must rely on external forces.

This is why Qu Feng values ​​this Chaos Event so much; he hopes to complete it perfectly to obtain generous rewards and see if he can find an opportunity to break through to the Six Paths level.

If he can reach the Six Paths level, then he can be said to be invincible in this world.

We don't need to be afraid of even the Otsutsuki clan from outer space.

Even so, Qu Feng was still unsure. What if the reward had nothing to do with his breakthrough? Wouldn't that be a waste of effort?

"But Hokage, you're not the only one who's improved. Yan was already so powerful back then, and his strength has only increased over the years. You must be careful!"

Ebizo's suggestion was very pertinent, and Torufuchi nodded in agreement: "Of course, thank you for your reminder."

Despite his words, Qu Feng never underestimated his opponent, and Yan's strength must be very formidable now.

Until the actual battle begins, it's impossible to say for sure what will happen when it comes to taking the wind.

However, there are many ways to harness wind, and with magic as a backup, we can eventually manage a draw with them.

"Alright, Hokage, we'll go and heal our wounds and rest first, and then set off back to Sunagakure the day after tomorrow."

Qu Feng responded and then watched them leave, before returning to his office to continue observing the situation across the entire Land of Rain.

Time passed slowly, and soon it got dark. At this moment, something that made Qu Feng happy finally happened.

[Congratulations, host, on successfully completing the first task. Rewards have been accumulated.]

[Second mission begins. The Land of Rain has suffered too much blood and tears. Schemers and ambitious individuals have turned this land into a living hell. Find them and kill them.]

Sure enough! Qu Feng's guess was correct. Once the first task was completed, the second task was unlocked on its own.

However, the reward wasn't given out directly, but rather accumulated until the event was completed, which made Qu Feng unhappy.

But it doesn't matter, a day or two won't make a difference.

"This will definitely be a tough battle. It's been a long time since I've fought like this. I wonder if my body has gotten rusty."

Looking out at the bright moon in the office, Qu Feng muttered to himself, "Schemers and ambitious people, that must be Yan and Hanzo, right? One is after my body, and the other wants to obtain supreme power."

To be honest, Toru never had any attachment to power; back then, he even planned to focus on assisting Hiruzen Sarutobi in becoming the Third Hokage.

Unexpectedly, he ended up being arrested. After becoming Hokage, Tohka was either looking for a successor or training one.

In any case, he has absolutely no attachment to the position of Hokage.

Perhaps it's because everyone's pursuits are different, but Qu Feng's dream has never changed. Everything he does is to enable himself to live a better life.

Instead of becoming the king of a country and controlling the whole world.

Qu Feng felt that was too tiring, and being busy every day might even shorten his lifespan.

He lived his life leisurely and easily, pursuing the wind.

However, there are just too many and too chaotic things going on right now, making it impossible for him to achieve his goals.

Therefore, he had no choice but to work hard.

"If I could, I really wouldn't want to fight and kill."

Inside the Cloud Clan's territory, the Wind Spirit dialed Hashirama's number: "Hey Master, it's almost time for me to be here. I'll leave Konoha Village in your care."

Hashirama's expression on the other end of the phone was somewhat grave: "Is the progress so fast? It's already time for the final battle."

Qu Feng's reply was rather nonchalant: "It's alright, he'll be back in about three or four days. Once this is over, the ninja world should be able to enjoy peace again for a long time."

Hashirama sighed, "Go ahead, but please be careful."

Qu Feng responded and then hung up the phone.

Entrusting the village to Hashirama was a completely worry-free arrangement, and his son was being well taken care of at his maternal grandfather's house, so he had absolutely no concerns.

Now I can finally have a serious match with Yan.

The next morning, Qu Feng changed into a more fitting long robe, still white, embroidered with golden cranes, with a jade crown on his head and a long sword at his waist.

Judging from appearance alone, there is no difference between them and immortals.

But in terms of strength, they are probably far behind.

"I wonder how much my current strength compares to that of my ancestor? I'd probably be less than half of it."

Qu Feng shook his head self-deprecatingly, then leaped into the air and whistled. Qing Yun and Liu Feng, who were incubating eggs in the crane's nest, flapped their wings together and flew towards Qu Feng's direction.

Chapter 718 Arrival in the Central City

Entrusting the village to Hashirama was a completely worry-free arrangement, and his son was being well taken care of at his maternal grandfather's house, so he had absolutely no concerns.

Now I can finally have a serious match with Yan.

The next morning, Qu Feng changed into a more fitting long robe, still white, embroidered with golden cranes, with a jade crown on his head and a long sword at his waist.

Judging from appearance alone, there is no difference between them and immortals.

But in terms of strength, they are probably far behind.

"I wonder how much my current strength compares to that of my ancestor? I'd probably be less than half of it."

Qu Feng shook his head self-deprecatingly, then leaped into the air and whistled. Qing Yun and Liu Feng, who were incubating eggs in the crane's nest, flapped their wings together and flew towards Qu Feng's direction.

As the wind surged, his chakra exploded, and a large amount of cloud-like energy poured out from his sleeves, propelling him forward at high speed through the air.

Wherever it passed, the clouds and mist were dispersed, as if the heavens had been opened, forming a 'sky road' that led directly to the central city of Yu Province.

Their speed is incredibly fast; a Kage-level ninja can travel from the Land of Fire to the border of Rain Province in just half a day.

Kefeng flew from Konoha Village to the central city in just over an hour.

The amount of chakra consumed during this process is enormous. A normal person would have died long ago if they had consumed that much chakra, and might even have used it up for their next life.

The wind was only used for traveling.

As a crane cried out in the sky, people on the streets of the city center looked up at the sky.

"This...this is Lord Hokage! And Lord Qingyun and Lord Liufeng!"

The ninjas of Konoha Village immediately recognized Toru and his summoning beast.

The ninjas from the other villages were still a bit confused. Wasn't the Hokage always in the city? When did he go out?

When the wind took hold and landed, the clouds and mist swirled, and the entire street was instantly filled with white clouds.

The ninjas didn't care about any of that and rushed forward, completely surrounding Qu Feng.

Fortunately, Qingyun and Liufeng had the foresight to simply hover in the sky and did not fall.

Seeing the trouble, the two of them simply ran away and flew to the top of the office building to rest.

"Lord Hokage, what business did you go out to run this morning? Do you need our help?"

Those who can be in the central city are at least Chunin level; they have both the qualifications and the ability to offer help.

"Thank you, but no need. I just arrived in the city center and there's nothing I can help with. You can just do what you want."

After saying that, Qu Feng transformed into a cloud and disappeared into the crowd.

"Just arrived in the central city... Could this be the Hokage's true form?!"

Based on what they had just witnessed, a thought couldn't help but cross their minds: 'Could the Hokage have flown all the way here?'

However, this idea was rejected as soon as it came to mind. Qingyun Liufeng had been by their side the whole time, so he must have flown over on their backs.

The ninjas, having nothing better to do, started chatting about how the Hokage had come to Central City, but this was irrelevant to Qu Feng, so he let them say what they wanted.

He was standing at the entrance of Jiraiya's and the others' apartment.

After the doorbell rang, Shuimen opened the door: "Brother? What are you doing here?"

"I just arrived this morning. I thought Zhili might still be resting, so I didn't want to disturb her. I just came to sit here for a while."

Upon arriving this morning, Minato quickly grasped the key words, meaning that the person in front of him was the true form of his elder brother.

"Big brother, why did you send the main body out personally? Is there something the person behind the scenes is up to?"

Qu Feng shook his head: "The people behind the scenes haven't made any moves, but I'm going to make a move. Waiting like this isn't a good idea. Since they're not coming to me, I'll go to them."

Good heavens, Minato is really something. He didn't expect that Tokito would take the initiative to attack. It seems he really intends to go alone.
