Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

Minato would only be truly happy when his elder brother and master, Torifu, praised him.

Because his efforts were recognized by his older brother, they were not in vain.

Moreover, Qu Feng advocates encouragement-based education and will not suppress children's self-confidence. On the contrary, he will continuously strengthen their self-confidence through praise.

When praised, the children will work even harder in their cultivation, hoping to receive further praise from their master.

This is a virtuous cycle, far better than the methods the Uchiha clan used to teach their members.

At least for now, the disciples that Qu Feng is teaching are almost unmatched among their peers.

Even other ninjas couldn't last a single round against them before being defeated.

Constantly suppressing and criticizing talented children will only make them rebellious and damage their self-confidence, which is not a good approach.

However, the Uchiha clan has always been proud of this, so it's not appropriate to comment too much on it.

After all, their family has stood strong for so many years. Perhaps it's because of the Sharingan that the family members are so awkward, causing the children to harbor resentment from a young age? This is to pave the way for the awakening of the Sharingan?

Tokifusa didn't quite understand, and neither did Chiri. As a young lady from a wealthy family, she hadn't experienced those things since childhood because she had awakened her Sharingan at the age of five.

No one in her family dared to cause her trouble. She didn't experience much oppression when she was young, and her life was smooth sailing, which is why Zhili has such a good personality.

"You guys, stop chatting and come eat."

Zhili called out from the kitchen, and everyone immediately responded.

Then he went inside to eat. He had spent the whole day cleaning the house inside and out.

They're all small, tedious tasks, not particularly tiring, just time-consuming.

Fortunately, everything is clean now, and Zhili feels much more at ease.

At the dinner table, Zhili learned that the aquaculture plan to obtain wind was also going to be given to the other two shadows.

Although it's still just a draft, barring any unforeseen circumstances, this is already the final version.

Because he would never show the two shadows anything that he didn't like.

"Looks like Konoha Village will be busy again soon," Jiri joked.

After listening to the wind, he nodded with a smile: "That's right. We'll probably have to send a lot of ninjas to Amegakure to help. It's a huge project, but it has to be all done before March."

"Otherwise, if the fish fry are released too late, all our work this year will have been for nothing."

These are things that Zhili can't help with, but if it's about killing someone, Zhili, you can at least help with that.

However, Zhili was not keen on doing these official matters, as they were both troublesome and mentally taxing.

Qu Feng was aware of this as well, so he now desperately hoped that Amado would take the next step and bring An Hua back.

In this way, Qu Feng can delegate more authority to handle affairs to Anwar.

When he steps down, Anwa can continue to assist Minato and help him handle some trivial matters.

They practically turned the Hokage's business into a family enterprise; the Hokage's secretary is actually the Hokage's own sister-in-law...

However, taking the wind was merely a matter of deciding on his successor. As for when Minato would step down or who he intended to hand over the Hokage position to, he didn't care about any of these things.

Then I can truly enjoy my retirement life, it couldn't be more wonderful.

He had never longed for Minato to grow up quickly and reach Kage-level strength so much.

'Five years, just five years, and I can start enjoying a peaceful and stable life. Just thinking about it makes me happy.'

Five years is just a blink of an eye for Qu Feng. How many five-year periods have passed since he took office? He has still managed to persevere.

Within these five years, Tofu will fully elevate Minato's strength to Kage level and teach him all the ninjutsu he should learn.

However, he only has one Rasengan left now. As for sealing techniques and the like, he'll have Kushina teach him after he and Kushina start dating.

If we take the wind, we won't have to dig anymore.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they all went about their own business, with the younger generation taking care of washing the dishes.

Today it was Xiao Nan's turn, and she happily went into the kitchen to get busy.

The more time Qu Feng spent with these children, the more he discovered their shining qualities.

They are not only talented, but also have excellent personalities. If nothing unexpected had happened in the original world, they should all be the protagonists.

Unfortunately, there is only one true protagonist.

The same applies to this world. No matter how much Qu Feng wants to slack off, he is undoubtedly the protagonist of this world.

However, they are not the main characters, but the wind can protect them so that they can live peacefully and have a life that truly belongs to them, instead of just a few short scenes.

Qu Feng felt that this might be the meaning of his journey to this world.

Every time I think about this, I feel really excited! I think he could continue as Hokage for another forty or fifty years.

But once that initial enthusiasm wore off, they went back to their old ways, eager to hand over the Hokage position to someone else immediately.

Every time Zhili saw him like this, she felt helpless.

Time passed quickly, and for two consecutive days, Qu Feng dealt with various miscellaneous matters in the village.

Today, he finally had some free time. He changed into clean clothes early in the morning and mentioned it to Zhili.

Are you going today?

Qu Feng nodded: "Yeah, I guess I'll be back soon, nothing will happen."

"Okay, be careful," Zhili said with a hint of worry.

Qu Feng waved the map in his hand, signaling Zhili to hurry back.

Then it transformed into a cloud and flew into the sky, disappearing from sight.

Chapter 748 Searching for the Valley

Every time Zhili saw him like this, she felt helpless.

Time passed quickly, and for two consecutive days, Qu Feng dealt with various miscellaneous matters in the village.

Today, he finally had some free time. He changed into clean clothes early in the morning and mentioned it to Zhili.

Are you going today?

Qu Feng nodded: "Yeah, I guess I'll be back soon, nothing will happen."

"Okay, be careful," Zhili said with a hint of worry.

Qu Feng waved the map in his hand, signaling Zhili to hurry back.

Then it transformed into a cloud and flew into the sky, disappearing from sight.

Zhili looked up at the sky, but could no longer find Qufeng.

Although I don't know what Qu Feng is going to do, I can only wish him success and hope that he can come back soon.

Then he went back to the house.

Meanwhile, the wind was moving at a steady pace through the clouds.

Although he was incredibly fast after reaching the Six Paths level, he had never been to that location on the map.

Therefore, they were afraid of walking too fast and overshooting the mark.

"The more I look at this map, the stranger it seems. There are places in the Land of Fire that I haven't been to?"

He thought the map might just be a prank, a trick the system was using to mess with him.

After all, having spent so many years in the Land of Fire, he believed he had a good understanding of the Land of Fire, having even been to the deepest parts of those dense forests.

This map clearly marks a valley located on the border of Konoha Village.

When I was a kid, I often went to the border to wipe out wandering ninjas, so there's no way I wouldn't have discovered this valley.

The route that Qu Feng is currently traveling on is the same route he took when he was a child on a mission.

He was very familiar with this; if there really was a very large valley, how could he not remember it?

This feeling of doubt grew stronger and stronger, so Qu Feng quickened his pace, wanting to see what was going on with the locations marked on the map.

It's as if even he, a native of the Land of Fire, has no recollection of it whatsoever.

At the speed of the wind, they arrived near the marked point on the map in the blink of an eye.

From the air, one can clearly see that there is a vast, dense forest nearby.

There's no valley, not even a mountain.

There are no roads in this dense forest; it looks like an ordinary primeval forest. What is there here that is worth marking by the system?

Toru used his sensory ninjutsu to try and investigate the surroundings, but even with his Six Paths level strength, he couldn't detect anything unusual.

This area is clearly just an ordinary forest, as common as any forest in the Land of Fire.

"This damn system, is it really just using me for amusement?"

But having come this far, Qu Feng walked to the location marked on the map and slowly landed on the ground.

I looked around but didn't find anything.

Qu Feng looked at the map and was able to confirm that he hadn't gone the wrong way and that he had indeed arrived at the marked location.

But nothing happened, and nothing was observed.

They circled around several times, even hollowing out the roots of the thickest trees, but still found no treasure.

This caused Qu Feng some distress. It seemed that the system had really tricked him, and he had been taken for a ride for nothing.

Let me try one last time. If it still doesn't work, I won't waste my time.

He used his cloud and mist perception technique to try and find out what was different about this forest.

With his current chakra reserves, he could fill the entire forest with Cloud Release in just a moment, with almost no energy expenditure.

But as soon as the first wisp of cloud was released, an invisible suction force was generated around it, absorbing the wisp of cloud.

Although the speed was very fast, Qu Feng still noticed it.

"has a problem."

But he didn't stop; instead, he increased his chakra output even more! A massive amount of cloud-like energy surged from his sleeves!
