Konoha: I was living a peaceful life, but was backstabbed by the system

"Hahaha, are the kids scared?"

Chapter 33 Return to the Village

Hashirama laughed loudly. He looked at the children in front of him, all of whom were covered in dirt, especially Tofu, whose white hair had turned gray.

Hiruzen said with great remorse, "I'm sorry, Hokage-sama, I failed in my duty!"

Hashirama patted Hiruzen's head and said, "I have seen all your actions. Everything was perfect, except that the enemy's strength exceeded our expectations."

"There's nothing we can do about it. Intelligence is never 100% accurate. We must remember this lesson!"

Hiruzen felt warm at heart when he heard that. He felt better that the Hokage could say that.

But dereliction of duty is dereliction of duty. If it weren't for the Hokage's intervention, he really had no idea how to deal with it!

If they were on the battlefield, they would probably have no choice but to die.

At this moment, Zhili threw himself into Jing's arms with a slightly crying voice.

Jing stroked Zhili's head and said gently, "I'm glad you're okay. Now you know how dangerous it is to carry out a mission, right?"

Zhili didn't say anything, just nodded.

She was completely stunned in front of the huge fire tornado, and she found that she could not intervene in a battle of this level.

She even found it difficult to escape, but luckily, the Hokage saved her at the critical moment.

When she heard the Hokage's voice in that shabby house, she was suddenly not afraid of anything.

Jing lowered his head and whispered to Zhili, "If you want to fight alongside Qufeng, then work hard to improve yourself."

Zhili still said nothing, but held Jing a little tighter.

"Everyone performed very well in this operation." Hashirama praised several people.

"But the most important thing is that Qufeng attacked Luo Wan by surprise. This is the key to the turning point."

Everyone agreed with this point. If Luo Wan had not been seriously injured and dying, it is unknown how long this battle would have lasted.

Hashirama also commented on the strengths and weaknesses of each person in this battle, so that everyone could clearly recognize their own shortcomings.

In the world of ninja, never become complacent, as this can have fatal consequences.

"Alright kids, mission accomplished, let's go back to the village and report."

Hashirama said with a smile: "I will not accompany you for the rest of the journey."

Then Hashirama's whole body began to stiffen gradually, and finally turned into wood.

Hiruzen couldn't help but click his tongue: "He released such a powerful ninjutsu, but it was just a clone!"

Danzo patted his shoulder and said, "Hokage-sama is very busy with government affairs, how could he possibly come on such a low-level mission in person?"

"That's true, Lord Hokage is really strong!"

There is no doubt about this, the God of Ninja is not kidding you.

"Okay, let's go back and report back. This battle is really exhausting."

With that, Hiruzen led his companions towards the valley entrance.

But later on he remembered that the entire valley was blocked by the wind-taking jutsu.

"Wind-taking, can this ninjutsu be unleashed?"

Qufeng nodded, walked forward and touched the crystal.

Then he snapped his fingers, and the crystal vine net shattered instantly, and all the crystal vines on the outside of the valley also collapsed and disappeared.

Hiruzen looked at the bloodline limit of Kaze and felt an indescribable envy. This endless supply of crystals could be generated by only consuming chakra.

Isn’t this a constant source of money!

Seeing that there were still a few large crystal blocks remaining on the ground, Hiruzen collected them.

He planned to take this beautiful crystal back and give it to Lake Biwa. I think girls all like this kind of gem crystal.

Without the obstruction of the crystal, everyone set out to return to Konoha Village.

Although the mission was completed, Qufeng did not receive any reward from the system, not even a prompt.

Qufeng thought that it was because the task had not been officially delivered yet, so he was not in a hurry.

After all, there is not a single living person left in the entire valley, so there is no reason not to complete the mission.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, Danzo and Uchiha Kagami were leading the way, while Koharu, Kado En and Akimichi Touka were at the back.

Protect Qufeng and Zhili in the middle.

"Qufeng, are you hurt?"

"No, I'm still pretty strong." Qu Feng answered jokingly.

After hearing this, Zhili pouted and said, "I knew I shouldn't worry about you."

Just now, Zhili heard from Jing that Qufeng wanted to go and save her alone, which made Zhili extremely moved.

To be honest, her relationship with Qufeng had only lasted for a little over a month, yet Qufeng was willing to risk his life to save her.

In order to avoid situations like today in the future, and to avoid being left behind by Qu Feng, Zhili decided to practice harder in the future.

Qufeng wanted to laugh when looking at Zhili, but he didn't know what Zhili was thinking.

Although he and Zhili had only known each other for a short time, friendship was something that could not be measured by time.

Although Qufeng's dream is to live a peaceful life, when his relatives or friends are in danger, his conscience tells him to help to the best of his ability.

This is Qu Feng’s principle in life. If he lies down just to avoid danger and lets his friends fall into crisis, he is not himself.

"Come on, Chiri. You're a genius of the Uchiha clan. You're no worse than me."

Hearing Qufeng's encouragement, Zhili became more determined. Qufeng was right. As a genius of the Uchiha clan, she would not be worse than anyone else!

Although they were traveling at night, with Uchiha Kagami, who possessed the Sharingan, leading the way, they were still able to travel very quickly.

They returned to the small village just as daybreak was approaching.

When the villagers learned that the bandits had been completely wiped out, they didn't quite believe it at first. After all, it only took them a little over a day to go back and forth.

After Hiruzen explained it many times and even brought up the Hokage, the villagers finally believed it.

This news will soon spread to various villages, and within a month, this small village will be able to resume normal operations.

We fought and traveled the whole night yesterday and are now very tired.

In order to prevent accidents on the road, everyone decided to take a short rest in the village before continuing on their journey at Hiruzen's suggestion.

Everyone returned to the hotel where they had stayed before, and the owner welcomed them warmly.

Not only were fresh fruits given to us for free, but the accommodation fee was also waived.

But everyone still paid the boss according to the original price. Life is not easy for ordinary people, and Hiruzen and the others are not short of money.

After resting for about four hours, everyone set off again.

This time we will go straight to Konoha Village in one breath.

Chapter 34 Uchiha Setsuna is coming!

The group maintained a constant speed and did not encounter any special situations along the way.

If we continue traveling at the current speed for about three hours, we will reach Konoha Village.

Qufeng was also looking forward to the rewards he would get soon, but according to the system's prompts, it would probably be just the calmness value.

After all, the probability of obtaining a mysterious item is extremely low. Qu Feng feels that he does not have that luck, so he does not have too much hope and just wants to give it more calmness value.

Just as they were passing by a big river, Qufeng suddenly felt again the feeling he had when he was sparring with Zhili on the top of the mountain that day.

Qu Feng understood immediately in his heart, but did not show it on his face.

He followed the main group for a while, and suddenly squatted on the ground, holding his stomach.

"Qufeng, what's wrong with you?"

Zhili noticed the situation of taking the wind immediately and asked anxiously.

"I'm fine, my stomach just hurts and I need to go to the bathroom. You guys go first."

Qufeng was holding his stomach with an embarrassed look on his face, and it was not appropriate for Hiruzen and the others to stay here any longer.

After instructing Qufeng to catch up as soon as possible, he continued to move forward, but his speed slowed down a bit.

Seeing that the main force was already some distance away from here, Qu Feng returned to his normal appearance and said coldly: "Come out, don't hide anymore."

The surroundings were extremely quiet, with only a few birds flapping their wings and flying away, and nothing else happening.

"Stop pretending. It was you who attacked me on the top of the mountain last time, right? Uchiha Setsuna!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge blazing fireball suddenly came roaring towards him from the woods to the right of Qufeng. This was the Uchiha clan's signature ninjutsu!

Magnificent fireball technique!

"Water Release-Shui Luanbo!"

A large amount of water was spewed out from the air intake, forming a shock wave, which collided with the oncoming fireball, and the hissing sound of water evaporating into gas was endless.

The steam soon spread throughout the woods, and in this thick steam, a figure slowly emerged.

"You had a chance to survive. You can only blame yourself for your arrogance, stupid brat."

A pair of scarlet three-magatama Sharingan opened, and its gaze penetrated through layers of steam and fixed on Feng Qu.

Facing the threat from Uchiha Setsuna, Qufeng didn't care at all and even mocked him: "Do you think you can defeat me? It's just three magatama, do you think you are Uchiha Madara?"

Upon hearing this, Setsuna burst into laughter. "Hahaha, it's just three magatama? That's all? I was actually looked down upon by a six-year-old kid."

Then he showed a perverted expression: "Then I will let you see the power of Sharingan!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I'm afraid I won't be able to see it."

Before Uchiha Shanda could get furious, Qufeng quickly formed seals with his hands and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Cloud Release - Cloud and Mist Technique."
