Naruto: The Caged Bird Cannot Confine Me - Feng Hou Qi Men

It was euphemistically called "hardship fee".

As one of the legendary Sannin, and one of the top medical ninjas in the ninja world, it's unbelievable that he's ended up like this...

Feng Qi had no choice but to return to his old ways.

The three's progress was thus significantly hampered—the residents of the Oni Kingdom, whose thinking was still stuck in the feudal era of priestesses, were truly susceptible to fortune-telling and were willing to spend a lot of money on it!

Just as more and more people arrived after hearing the news and surrounded Feng Qi.

A burst of purple light suddenly descended from the sky, its sacred aura swirling around it, painting the entire street with a dreamlike hue.

"That is, Lady Shion!"

"Lady Shion has come all the way from the Shrine Maiden Castle!"

Under the residents' gazes of utmost respect and awe, the clear sound of a bell rang out, and long hair fluttered gently in the breeze.

A graceful figure dressed in traditional shrine maiden attire landed lightly, her fair toes lightly touching the ground.

"Hey, it's been a long time, Shion."

Feng Qi, standing in the crowd, raised his eyes and glanced at the purple chakra wings behind Zi Yuan that were gradually dissipating into nothingness, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

I never expected that after just one or two months apart, Shion would be able to use the transformation of chakra to such an extent!

She truly lives up to her reputation as a priestess who harbors power even greater than that of a demon...

and……

Feng Qi narrowed his eyes slightly.

Besides the changes in chakra form, he also detected an unexpected ninjutsu in Shion.

Earth Release: Light and Heavy Rock Technique from Iwagakure, the village of Earth in the neighboring Land of Demons.

Ziyuan stood there without saying a word, her pure light purple eyes, which resembled white eyes, shimmering with tears as she stared blankly at Feng Qi.

A few seconds later, the girl's pace gradually quickened, from tentative small steps to strides forward and then to a sprint. A sliding tackle—no, a flying dive—carried the ball and crashed into Feng Qi.

"Damn you, Feng Qi! I thought you were never coming back..."

Ziyuan buried her head in Fengqi's chest, wrapped her arms around him, and hugged his waist tightly.

Ever since Feng Qi helped her break the curse on the bell and completely escape the hopeless fate of the "death prophecy," she has regarded him as her destined one.

During the time Feng Qi was away, she would often stare blankly at the Bagua necklace around her neck, sometimes for most of the day.

Shion, who never saw Fuuki return, worked even harder to train her priestess powers. She not only mastered the most basic ninjutsu such as the Shadow Clone Technique and the Substitution Technique, but also learned the transformation of chakra forms.

So that one day I can keep up with Feng Qi's pace!

"Really, didn't you say you'd come back?"

Feng Qi sighed helplessly, not pushing Zi Yuan away, but instead focusing his mind on the weight pressing on his chest.

He wasn't a pervert; he was doing this to try and find out Shion's condition through physical contact.

His chakra was abundant and powerful, flowing out like a fountain.

Under the constraints of the Bagua pendant, and without any signs of going berserk, it can be said to be quite perfect!

Feng Qi was completely open and honest, but to the unsuspecting residents of the Ghost City, it was a completely different story.

Everyone was completely stunned, their eyes wide open, never expecting that the usually aloof and noble priestess would do such a thing in public!

In an instant, countless ideas surged from the depths of their minds, and the practical actions that followed were...

They all turned their heads to look elsewhere; some went to buy groceries, while others strolled around.

This is not fun to watch!

"No wonder the kid refused so tactfully."

Tsunade carefully examined Shion, then glanced at a tablet beside her, and sighed with deep regret, "Shizune, you didn't lose unfairly."

"Lady Tsunade! I have absolutely no thoughts in that regard!"

Shizune instantly bristled, tightening her grip on the ninja pig she was holding. "And that look of disdain you gave me was so rude!!"

"Aha, ahahaha." Tsunade chuckled and scratched her head.

You know what, sometimes it's kind of fun to tease someone about muting it.

Who is this woman?

It was only at this moment that Ziyuan belatedly noticed the presence of the two, and released Feng Qi with her eyes full of vigilance.

Her gaze skipped over Shizune and landed directly on Tsunade, who posed a significant threat.

Silence: I feel hurt.

Seeing the girl's extremely wary eyes, Tsunade suddenly became interested, put one hand on her hip, raised her head and puffed out her chest, and said: "Hello, little sister. To be honest, I am a ninja who was specially invited by Hyuga Kazeki."

"A very powerful ninja." She added.

Upon hearing this, Shion's competitive spirit was instantly ignited, and she stepped forward without fear, looking directly into Tsunade's eyes.

"Really? An older lady."

"I can't pretend I didn't hear that. You're a newbie who can't even figure out how to use chakra."

Tsunade's lips twitched, she cracked her knuckles, and forced out a very kind smile.

An invisible aura suddenly erupted, and Feng Qi could even see almost tangible flames burning fiercely on the two people who were facing each other face to face.

Before the ninja village was even established, the shrine maiden (daimyo) and the kage were already fighting...

Even Feng Qi, who can freely change the attributes of ninjutsu, is helpless in this situation.

Feeling extremely troubled, he sighed deeply and stepped forward to separate the two who were about to fight.

"Lady Tsunade, you're such a grown woman, stop teasing Shion."

"And Shion, Lady Tsunade is an assistant I invited to build a new ninja village and strengthen the defense of the Land of Demons."

Tsunade and Shion: "Get out of my way! Mind your own business!"

Feng Qi: "..."

The transition chapters were a bit awkward, so I'll have to make up for the second update tomorrow. Sorry!

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 109. If it's Feng Qi, then of course it's possible.

109.

The Castle of Demons, the Shrine of the Priestess.

"So, Feng Qi, you want to establish a ninja village in the Land of Demons?"

After listening to Feng Qi's conjecture about the establishment of the new ninja village, Shion, sitting in the main seat, frowned slightly, seemingly having great doubts about this unexpected idea.

"That's right. The ninja world may seem peaceful now, but a large-scale war will definitely break out in the future, and no country can avoid it."

Feng Qi sat opposite him, took a sip of the special flower tea brought by the maid, and then continued, "Establishing ninja villages in advance can minimize the risk of them being consumed by war."

As long as the Akatsuki organization, or more precisely, the Akatsuki organization secretly controlled by Black Zetsu, exists, Kaguya will eventually break the seal again.

Even if the Akatsuki organization is eliminated in advance, the long-standing grievances in the ninja world order will eventually collapse under the impact of enormous interests such as land, talent, and resources, leading to the Fourth Shinobi World War.

In this situation, both neutral and neutral countries would inevitably be drawn into the war.

After all, the so-called neutrality is not determined by the country itself, but by the five strongest nations!

Moreover, the Land of Demons no longer has the ticking time bomb of the demon spirits. This territory, which is relatively fertile compared to the Land of Wind and the Land of Lands, is only a matter of time before it is targeted by others.

This is actually the fundamental reason why Feng Qi wanted to locate the new ninja village in the Land of Demons.

Aside from his convenient relationship with the supreme leader, the priestess Shion, he wanted to make some compensation for "taking away" the demon—even though the people of the Land of Demons couldn't wait for the demon to disappear.

Listening to the conversation between the two, Tsunade, sitting next to Feng Qi, couldn't stop twitching at the corner of her mouth.

His inner self was screaming: "It's not you, Feng Qi! You didn't even have a single word with the Land of Demons before coming here?!"

When it came to establishing a new ninja village in the Land of Demons, Fuuki seemed completely confident, as if all the pre-prepared procedures would immediately begin once she entered the scene.

I never expected it to turn out like this!

It should be noted that the Land of Demons has maintained its neutral status for quite some time, and was almost unaffected by the previous three Shinobi World Wars, making its territory quite stable.

The establishment of a ninja village, a military force that poses a threat to neighboring countries, would undoubtedly break the neutrality of the Land of Demons!

Even if the priestess Shion has special feelings for Fuuki, this involves the entire country. As the supreme leader, she wouldn't just give up so easily...

"If it's Feng Qi, then of course it's possible."

Ziyuan casually rested her chin on her hands, tilted her head slightly to look at Feng Qi, and smiled, "The reason doesn't matter. I believe you won't do anything to harm the Land of Demons."

From her perspective, Feng Qi is someone who can subdue demons and even break predetermined fates like death prophecies; he is a hero who pulls her out of the endless abyss of darkness.

Moreover, he will be the future king of the Demon Kingdom!

How could I not believe what he said?

Tsunade's lips twitched even more violently as her thoughts were interrupted, and she immediately labeled Shion as a love-struck fool trapped in a love snare.

Of course, this only applies to the decisions made by a country's top leader.

In believing in Fuuki, Tsunade was no less trusting than Shion, otherwise she wouldn't have followed him to the Land of Demons.

"but……"

Shion abruptly changed the subject, her charming smile vanishing abruptly. She pointed at Tsunade and exclaimed, "Can this hot-tempered aunt really be a good leader of a ninja village?!"

That's right, this is the root cause of her initial doubts and distrust...

"Huh? Are you questioning my abilities, you little girl who hasn't even grown all her hair yet?!"

Tsunade's fiery temper flared up immediately. She slammed her hand on the table, stood up, and glared at Shion with disdain.

She doesn't care whether you're the country's top leader or not.

"Lady Tsunade..." Shizune, standing behind, tried to persuade her.

Just as the two were about to start fighting again, Feng Qi, who was calmly sipping his tea, slowly put down his teacup.
