Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

The sheer volume of information flooded his mind in an instant, causing him to momentarily lose his composure.

He also experienced intense pain in his brain, but he quickly adapted and recovered.

They began to search intently for Hanzo and Yan's location amidst the clouds and mist.

Time passed second by second, and the Wind Shadow and Earth Shadow could already see that everything outside the central city was a vast expanse of white.

But there was no sound when we tried to find it, and we didn't know if we had actually found it or not.

The Kazekage tentatively asked, "How is it, Hokage? What did you gain?"

He thought that Tokifusa would not answer because he was focused on probing, but to his surprise, Tokifusa immediately said, "No, probing is more difficult than I thought. It will take some time, and there are too many interfering substances. The heavy rain in the Land of Rain will affect my ninjutsu."

If I had known, I would have simply cleared the skies over the entire Land of Rain by taking the wind.

However, doing so might make Hanzo and his men more wary.

After being washed away by heavy rain, the clouds and mist will become thinner, only slightly thicker than ordinary water mist, and will not attract their attention.

Only in places like outside the city center where it doesn't rain can you see a vast expanse of white clouds.

Qu Feng thought that these two guys probably wouldn't use such a stupid tactic.

"Time is not an issue, Hokage, just go all out. We're ready to fight no matter what happens."

Onoki gave him the best support he could offer, and he dared not promise anything else.

Qu Feng didn't reply, but simply nodded and continued his investigation.

'No...no...no, it's not here either, not here...not here at all.'

Where exactly is it?

Qu Feng meticulously searched every inch of the Rain Province in the Land of Fire, turning the entire province upside down, but still found nothing.

"Time is not an issue, Hokage, just go all out. We're ready to fight no matter what happens."

Qu Feng didn't reply, but simply nodded and continued his investigation.

'No...no...no, it's not here either, not here...not here at all.'

Where exactly is it?

Qu Feng meticulously searched every inch of the Rain Province in the Land of Fire, turning the entire province upside down, but still found nothing.

They then explored the territories of the Land of Wind and the Land of Earth, and obtained the same result.

They searched every cave in the entire Land of Rain, but found absolutely no trace of it.

'Could he be in the water?' If he's in the water, Qu Feng really can't find out. But Yan is such a afraid of water, it's impossible for him to hide in the water.

Neither of them had the ability to live underwater.

So Qu Feng quickly dismissed the idea: 'It can't be in the sky, so the only possibility is underground.'

Thinking of this, Qu Feng started moving his hands, forming a hand seal and raising them above his head before slowly pressing them down.

As they moved to gather the wind, the Earth Shadow and the Wind Shadow could see that the clouds and mist surrounding the central city began to 'dissipate'.

"What's going on? Is the Hokage not planning to investigate?"

The Tsuchikage was also puzzled. Didn't they just say they needed time? Why did they cancel the ninjutsu?

But after staring at the clouds and mist outside for a while, they realized something was wrong.

"Wait, that's not right. These clouds aren't dissipating; they're slowly descending. The Hokage is controlling them!"

Qu Feng thought to himself that Feng Ying's judgment was quite accurate. Qu Feng was planning to force the clouds and mist to squeeze into the various cracks in the ground.

The clouds and mist have covered the entire Land of Rain, and now, as long as there is even the slightest crack or gap in the ground, it will be covered.

These clouds can penetrate into anything, whether it's a dead end or an underground cave; they will quickly be taken over by the clouds.

Even if Hanzo and Yan hide in some underground cave, Tofu will still be able to find them.

However, this ninjutsu requires far more chakra than simply releasing sensory techniques.

Qu Feng also felt a bit tired at this moment.

Half an hour has passed since the detection began, and the ninjutsu that the Wind-Gathering Technique has been maintained without interruption has consumed an enormous amount of chakra.

This used up almost half of his chakra.

After all, it's a ninjutsu technique that covers an entire country, so it's normal for it to consume a lot of energy.

However, his efforts were not entirely fruitless.

For example, he discovered several mines in the Rain Province of the Land of Fire, and quite a few in the territories of other countries as well; he didn't mind doing them a favor.

The clouds are descending little by little, seeping into every crack in the ground. The wind can sense this, and the clouds have detected many underground caves.

This area is mostly inhabited by various creatures, and there are no signs of human activity.

With so many caves, glancing over them at a glance could lead to oversights, so the search team meticulously searched each one individually.

The Land of Fire remained stable with no unusual events, as did the Land of Wind.

But just as he was exploring the Land of Earth, he sensed a strange underground cave.

The walls inside are smooth and have been treated to prevent water and moisture. There are many traces of life that have been lived in the cave.

It seems that it hasn't been abandoned for very long.

This news immediately focused Qu Feng's mind, and after carefully sensing the surroundings, he indeed found a small opening.

Go inside, and you'll find another cave that's pretty much the same size.

There is still a small opening, but it is very tiny, only about the thickness of a finger.

Qu Feng wasn't sure if Hanzo and his group had created this, but it was the only clue with human traces, so he could only continue investigating along it.

One after another, entering one and then another.

After exploring nearly twenty caves, Qu Feng finally found something that excited him!

'This...this is a salamander!'

A black-headed salamander covered in bumps was fast asleep inside the cave.

The entire cave is filled with its slime and poisonous gas. If a person were to enter, they would likely be detected by the salamander instantly and swallowed whole.

But now, the clouds and mist are the eyes that sense the wind, and the salamander cannot detect their existence. Its skin is too thick and smooth, and it cannot feel the brief chill brought by the clouds and mist at all.

"Great! Great! I've finally found it!"

The sudden sound from the wind startled the Kazekage and Tsuchikage, who were chatting quietly nearby.

But they quickly realized that the one who had been asking for help had finally been found!

"Hokage! Have you found Hanzo and the others' location?"

Qu Feng withdrew some of his mental energy to ensure he could talk to the two of them normally.

“That’s right! I discovered the salamander in a very deep underground cave, and there are traces of human habitation in other caves connected to this one. It must be Hanzo and his group!”

This news is truly exciting. An hour has passed, and we've finally made some progress. Moreover, the Kazekage was worried that Touka might suddenly run out of chakra and faint.

They have no way to fight Yan. Although they are reluctant to admit it, they are no match for Yan at all.

In the entire ninja world, the only ones capable of fighting Yan are the two Hokage of Konoha.

"Can we really find Hanzo and Yan? Otherwise, if we act rashly and they are not there, we will only alert them."

"Okay, I'll give it a try."

The clouds successfully found a gap and entered the next cave, where there was still nothing.

But when he used wind to control the fog and move it into the next cave, he reduced the fog concentration to the lowest level, making it almost invisible to the naked eye in the dim cave.

He then adjusted the chakra contained within the mist to an extremely low level, making the mist indistinguishable from ordinary mist, before slowly entering.

As soon as he entered, Qu Feng immediately obtained what he wanted.

A middle-aged ninja wearing a respirator was leaning against the wall, his eyes closed and saying nothing.

This person is none other than Hanzo, whom Toru has been longing for!

He then discovered that the cave was very spacious, and in the very center, there seemed to be a raging fire burning, which the fog could not get close to.

Qu Feng thought that it must be Yan.

The fog couldn't get close, and Qu Feng could only judge from the general outline that she seemed to be cultivating.

It was too vague for Qu Feng to guess, but finding their location was enough.

"Found them! They didn't detect my ninjutsu, but I've pinpointed their location!"

These words once again invigorated the Kazekage and Tsuchikage, but tension followed.

The war a few years ago really caused heavy losses to both villages. Only Konoha Village, with its stronger strength, avoided too many casualties.

This time, they were about to face Yan, who was like a fire lord, once again, and they were very nervous.
