Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

Now, Toruka fears no one in the ninja world; he has reached the pinnacle of ninja power! Even if this is Isshiki Otsutsuki's lair, Toruka will not be afraid.

After a large amount of cloud vapor surged out, it was ultimately swallowed up by the invisible suction force, leaving not a trace behind.

This undoubtedly aroused the competitive spirit of the wind, and he concentrated his mind and mobilized all his chakra to release a large amount of cloud energy!

However, the speed at which he could unleash cloud energy was almost equal to the speed at which he could absorb it, so it appeared as if he was just standing still, without moving at all.

But in reality, he is playing a game.

After releasing the cloud for about ten minutes, the suction force seemed to gradually weaken.

Before he could even feel happy, all the absorbed cloud energy surged out at the same time!

In an instant, the wind enveloped everything, leaving only a white expanse before our eyes.

To his surprise, Qu Feng discovered that he could no longer control the clouds and mist.

They completely disobeyed his commands. Even when he poured his Cloud Escape technique into them, it was like throwing a mud ox into the sea; they disappeared instantly.

This is the first time something like this has happened since I successfully mastered Cloud Escape.

He did not panic, but instead conjured the Seeking the Dao Jade to protect himself.

The Seeking the Way Jade will defend itself against attacks, and at this moment, Qu Feng is unaware of anything within the clouds and mist.

We don't know if there will be a crisis, so it's understandable to be cautious.

Just as they were gathering winds in preparation for a great battle, the surrounding clouds and mist gradually dissipated.

As his vision gradually cleared, he was surprised to see houses.

"What...what's going on? Why were you brought home?"

Through the hazy mist, the surrounding houses appear almost identical to those in the Cloud Clan's territory.

But when the clouds and mist all dissipated, Qu Feng discovered that all the houses were old-fashioned, just like the original Cloud Clan's land.

Moreover, this place is now in a terrible state of disrepair.

The courtyard was filled with fallen leaves, and weeds covered every corner.

The windows of the houses were broken and some houses had even collapsed.

The whole place was a desolate scene. Qu Feng felt that this place was both familiar and very strange.

He had never been here before, but everything here was exactly the same as the Cloud Clan's territory.

The clouds and mist all dissipated, and everything around him became clear. Only then did Qu Feng realize that he was indeed in a valley.

A ring-shaped mountain range surrounds this place, neither too high nor too low, allowing sunlight to shine in perfectly.

Upon closer inspection, the mountain peaks appear to have been repaired, with many exposed areas.

"What's going on? Where is this place?"

Qu Feng didn't know if he was asking himself or the system, and no one replied to him.

A questioning voice echoed through the valley, ethereal and clear.

Chapter 749 Home?

He had never been here before, but everything here was exactly the same as the Cloud Clan's territory.

The clouds and mist all dissipated, and everything around him became clear. Only then did Qu Feng realize that he was indeed in a valley.

A ring-shaped mountain range surrounds this place, neither too high nor too low, allowing sunlight to shine in perfectly.

Upon closer inspection, the mountain peaks appear to have been repaired, with many exposed areas.

"What's going on? Where is this place?"

Qu Feng didn't know if he was asking himself or the system, and no one replied to him.

A questioning voice echoed through the valley, ethereal and clear.

Since no one answered, I'll have to explore on my own, but the yard is just too messy.

The courtyard was already covered with weeds and fallen leaves. It was about the same size as the Cloud Clan's territory. If it were fully occupied, it would probably house more than a hundred people.

However, Qu Feng thinks this should be the private residence of an ancestor of the Cloud Clan, perhaps used for vacations.

I don't know why the system brought him here.

But in any case, if you want to explore, you have to clean up first.

Point your finger at the ground, and a flame will appear from your fingertip and spread to the ground.

Weeds and fallen leaves are highly flammable, and the fire spread rapidly throughout the entire courtyard.

However, with the control of the wind, the flames only cleared away the debris, without destroying anything else.

In just one minute, all the debris was burned to ashes, leaving only a yard full of black ash.

These can be successfully handled with just a small cloud sphere.

After the entire courtyard was cleaned, Qu Feng finally took the first step.

He strolled slowly through the courtyard, carefully examining each building.

"Since it's similar to the Cloud Clan's territory, it should also have a main hall, right? Maybe there will be some useful information there."

The main hall was very conspicuous, and it didn't take long to find it.

"Thank goodness, you haven't collapsed yet."

However, just in case, before going inside, Mr. Feng made some crystal pillars to support the house.

To avoid the collapse caused by a sudden disturbance during ventilation, which would be disastrous.

After completing all the preparations, Qu Feng entered the main hall.

The basic layout of the main hall is no different from that of the Yunzhong tribe.

Even the secret chamber in the sleeping quarters remains in the same location.

Qu Feng found a lot of money, weapons, and other items inside, as well as the cultivation method for Cloud Escape. Qu Feng opened it and took a look, only to find that it was completely different from the one he had cultivated back then.

The scroll states that the chakra ratio required for each person to practice Cloud Release is different. The scroll only presents a basic concept, and the rest requires learners to experiment gradually.

However, the formula for cultivating back then was given directly, which made it impossible for him to cultivate no matter what he did. In the end, he had to try to find a way to modify it himself before he was able to cultivate successfully.

"Damn it, could someone have tampered with my Cloud Escape technique?"

As soon as the idea came to mind, Qu Feng immediately thought of that guy Black Zetsu. Madara Uchiha was tricked by him back then, so Qu Feng had reason to believe that his own Cloud Release was also done by him!

"You almost ruined my family, so don't let me catch you."

Qu Feng then searched again, but there was nothing left. Although the harvest was very valuable, it was the last thing Qu Feng needed.

"Well, something is better than nothing, but after wandering around the main hall, I didn't find a single clue."

Qu Feng didn't even know who the owner of this valley was.

He then toured the side hall again, but found nothing.

The remaining houses in the front yard were either dilapidated or had already collapsed. Qu Feng used the clouds and mist to go in and investigate.

As he expected, there was nothing there, just an ordinary house.

Then we'll have to check the backyard. If there's still nothing there, then we'll use our perception spell one last time to investigate.

If they didn't get any useful information, they could only leave with a huge pile of gold and silver jewelry.

Having reaped an unexpected windfall, it's as if the air force has finally been wiped out.

Following a pebbly path, Qu Feng arrived at the backyard.

This place is even more desolate than the one before. The weeds that died last year are now as tall as a person and have grown densely all over the backyard.

Qu Feng casually unleashed two air slashes, snapping all the weeds in half.

From a distance, you could see something peeking out from the pile of weeds.

It was a dull gray color, and it looked like a stone pier?

Qu Feng quickly cleared away all the weeds and then ran to the stone block.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be an altar, not a stone pier at all.

The emblem of the Cloud Clan is also engraved on it, which means that this item belongs to the Cloud Clan.

As the patriarch of the Cloud Clan, Qu Feng naturally had the right to study it.

"What's this thing used for? Is it for cultivation?"

He fiddled with the stone for a long time, but there was no reaction from the stone block. He couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried.

Suddenly, a thought struck him: "Hey! The circular groove on this stone block seems to be the same size as the chakra bead."

Moreover, this inference is also reasonable. The map and the chakra bead were rewards from the same event, and even now, the Wind Lord still doesn't understand the function of the bead.

It's hard not to suspect that this is a system where each link is interconnected.

After taking out the condensed bead, Qu Feng was a little puzzled. This blue bead looked like a gemstone, and it was hard to imagine that such a beautiful bead would have any connection with the gray altar in front of him.

However, in order to verify his conjecture, Qu Feng still put the bead on, since he had no other choice but to try anything.

Once the condensed bead was embedded in the groove, the altar immediately changed.

The altar, which was originally grayish-brown, gradually began to develop blue vein-like patterns.

The scene became quite magical, and Qu Feng couldn't believe that such a stone pillar had actually transformed.

Moreover, the effect of this condensed bead is actually to activate the altar.

But then what? Why does it end after the light comes on? Keep going!

"Hey! Get the performance going! I didn't come all this way just to see your light show!"

"Hehehe, young people are just so impatient."

A man's voice rang in Qu Feng's ear. Qu Feng felt that the voice was very familiar, but he couldn't remember whose voice it was for a moment.

Then, clouds and mist surged from the altar, enveloping Qu Feng.

When Qu Feng opened his eyes again, he found himself in a small courtyard with wisps of smoke rising from the chimneys.
