Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

The children had smiles on their faces and carried small schoolbags.

He is completely different from Orochimaru when he was a child.

Every child was dressed in bright and beautiful clothes. Even those that weren't made of expensive silk were clean and tidy, without any patches.

When Qu Feng saw the children, a smile appeared on his face.

These are the tender shoots of Konoha Village, and he needs to protect them.

However, these children are not the purpose today.

"Let's go, we'll be there soon. I imagine you're already quite familiar with this place."

"Yes, it feels very familiar. I never expected Lord Torifu would take me home," Orochimaru said with a hint of sarcasm.

Only in this way can he alleviate his tension.

He originally thought that this feeling would never arise again.

But his body told him that it was all just his own perception.

Orochimaru was only a hundred steps away from home, but those hundred steps proved impossible for him.

My legs felt incredibly heavy.

The Wind Spirit cast a Clarity spell on him, which calmed him down considerably.

"Why not be bolder? Perhaps what I'm about to show you is exactly what you've been thinking about?"

Upon hearing this, Orochimaru turned to look at Torifu: "What do you mean?"

Qu Feng smiled but didn't say anything. Instead, he pointed in one direction.

Orochimaru looked in the direction the finger was pointing, and there was a familiar courtyard—his own home.

A moment later, his pupils suddenly contracted.

An elderly woman in her fifties or sixties came out of the house and stood in the yard, looking around.

Upon seeing the old woman, Orochimaru trembled uncontrollably.

Orochimaru was only a hundred steps away from home, but those hundred steps proved impossible for him.

My legs felt incredibly heavy.

The Wind Spirit cast a Clarity spell on him, which calmed him down considerably.

"Why not be bolder? Perhaps what I'm about to show you is exactly what you've been thinking about?"

Orochimaru looked in the direction the finger was pointing, and there was a familiar courtyard—his own home.

A moment later, his pupils suddenly contracted.

An elderly woman in her fifties or sixties came out of the house and stood in the yard, looking around.

Upon seeing the old woman, Orochimaru trembled uncontrollably.

Although he hadn't seen her for decades, Orochimaru recognized the old woman immediately.

"Mother...Mother..."

He turned to look at Qu Feng, his eyes filled with disbelief: "My mother is still alive?"

Qu Feng was slightly bewildered: "Who said she was dead? Didn't I tell you to guess? I thought you could guess it easily, since you don't have any friends."

Orochimaru didn't seem to care that someone had just insulted him.

"So, does that mean my father also..."

Toruka nodded: "Of course, Konoha Village has never experienced a war in the first place, so of course they are all fine."

"Let's go take a look together? I'm quite familiar with them."

Orochimaru was at a loss for words; he had become the one who was unfamiliar with the situation.

Decades have passed, but his feelings for his parents have remained buried in his heart, though they have diminished to some extent.

But he will never forget the kindness of his parents in bringing him into this world.

He once had a happy and joyful time.

But with the deaths of his parents in battle, everything vanished.

Although Hiruzen Sarutobi later became Orochimaru's father, there was still a slight distance between them.

"Lord Qufeng, you have truly given me a huge scare."

The two walked together toward the familiar courtyard, and the old woman, who was looking around, also saw Qu Feng.

He stretched out his hand and called out, "Lord Torifu! Orochimaru!"

Hearing that long-lost call once again, Orochimaru's heart trembled.

My heart was filled with mixed emotions, but I didn't shed a tear.

Upon arriving at the courtyard, I found that it was somewhat different from what I remembered.

The bricks and stones are more solid, and the gates are all brand new and very beautiful.

The courtyard was clean and tidy, with bluestone slabs covering the entire space.

The house has been renovated and is different from what I remember.

My mother is different now; her face is full of wrinkles, but her smile is still so warm.

When the two arrived at the door, the mother excitedly stepped forward and hugged Orochimaru.

"My child, you've suffered so much these past years."

Orochimaru was momentarily stunned, unsure how to respond.

After a while, he slowly reached out and hugged his mother.

In his memory, his mother was so tall and had such broad shoulders.

But when he hugged his mother, he found himself feeling very relaxed.

My mother seems to have gotten shorter.

No, he's grown taller.

"Mother……"

Orochimaru uttered those two words that he hadn't said in a long time.

The mother immediately responded, "Good child, I know about your situation. You've suffered all these years."

Orochimaru, who had been making great strides on both the path of ninja and the path of science, found himself somewhat flustered when faced with an old woman.

After all these years, he has completely forgotten how to get along with his family.

After all, his mother and father had died in battle when he was six years old.

After parting ways with Orochimaru, the old woman said to Torifu, "Lord Torifu, please come in and have a cup of tea. The child's father is all ready."

Qu Feng waved his hand: "No, I won't disturb your family reunion."

Out of the corner of his eye, Feng could see an old man in the house constantly looking out.

He was muttering to himself, looking quite anxious.

That was Orochimaru's father; I often interacted with them when I was a teenager.

They're all old acquaintances.

Orochimaru followed his mother into the courtyard.

The layout of the courtyard has remained largely unchanged.

Memories flooded back in an instant.

Once inside the house, Orochimaru calmed down considerably.

The house has already been renovated and rebuilt once, and it's not the same as I remember it.

At this moment, the father also came over: "Orochimaru...you're back, come inside quickly."

He was so anxious inside the house just now, muttering to himself nonstop.

But when he actually met Orochimaru, he didn't say anything.

"Father."

As Orochimaru uttered those two words, it felt as if something that had been weighing on his heart had finally dissipated.

"Oh, good child, your mother will make you something delicious in a little while."

The mother replied directly, "Yes! You two chat first, I'll go to the market to buy some groceries!"

She left home with a big smile on her face; her other son had come to visit, and her joy was palpable.

According to Master Qufeng, his son is also a scientist, and is very outstanding.

In this way, she, as the mother, couldn't be of much help.

All I can do is cook a delicious meal.

The father then brought Orochimaru into the living room.

Even though it was his own home, he seemed very reserved: "Sit...sit down."

The two sat down together and immediately fell into an eternal silence.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became very strange.

The father didn't know what to talk about.

Orochimaru, upon seeing his aged father, had much to say, but didn't know how to begin.

Finally, it was the father who spoke first: "Orochimaru, can you tell me about your world? And your story, I'd like to hear it too."
