Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

But Kakuzu was on high alert the whole time, and upon seeing the Second Elder's actions, he immediately manipulated the masked monster to capture the Second Elder.

Break his arm.

The second elder continued to curse and swear, and Jiao Du was getting annoyed by his repeated sneak attacks.

So I stopped arguing with him.

He reached out and ripped his heart out.

The Second Elder, who had been constantly swearing, suddenly became like a toy whose battery had been removed after losing its heart.

His head tilted to the side, and he could no longer speak.

The masked monster tossed the Second Elder's corpse aside, and then it all returned to Kakuzu's body.

At this point, Kakuzu's appearance finally returned to normal. Although he wasn't afraid of taking the wind, his previous appearance always caused both psychological and physical discomfort.

After killing the Second Elder, Kakuzu stood there motionless for a long time. It was only when Toru patted him on the shoulder that he came back to his senses.

Kakuzu felt incredibly empty at this moment; his purpose for tonight was to kill the five elders.

Now that his goal has been achieved, Kakuzu is not happy because he has lost his home and friends.

Although his family members had long since passed away, he had lived in Takigakure for over twenty years and had developed very deep bonds with them. Moreover, his subordinates trusted him implicitly.

Now that I've suddenly become a rogue ninja, the next time we meet, we'll be facing each other with swords drawn.

"Is there anything else? If not, we should be going."

“The elders have considerable wealth, which can serve as seed money for our organization, since there are only the two of us at the moment.”

It seems that Kakuzu's ability to distinguish between the two people in his words is quite good.

"Where is it? Hurry up and grab it and leave."

Kakuzu nodded. It wasn't a good place to stay any longer. If they were discovered, it would be difficult to escape.

Kakuzu searched the elders' houses for valuables, while Tokifuku cleaned up the battlefield.

If so many corpses aren't cleaned up, they'll definitely scare at least half the villagers to death by tomorrow morning.

Using the Uchiha puppet's fire jutsu, the corpses were reduced to ashes in just a short time.

After a while, Kakuzu also came out of the house, carrying two very large packages.

When he opened it, he found it was full of gold coins. Wow, there was quite a lot of money inside.

However, compared to Qu Feng's wealth, it's just a drop in the ocean.

But the funds used for the organization's expenses are already sufficient, since there are only two people at the moment. Taking the wind doesn't require much expense, and it's basically all used by Kakuzu.

"Where do we go next?" Kakuzu asked. Now that he was a rogue ninja, he had nowhere to go.

If the villagers find out tomorrow that Kakuzu was responsible for tonight's actions, he will immediately be added to the black market's bounty list.

There will be people who want to take his life no matter where he is.

"Let's go back to the Land of Fire first, and then see where we can establish a base for the organization."

Kakuzu nodded in agreement. It seemed that this was the only way for an organization in its early stages of development.

But then he asked, "We still don't know what our organization is called."

Qu Feng thought for a moment and then said, "Let's call it Lotus."

"Oh? Why?"

"The lotus rises from the mud unsullied, and this ninja world is a muddy mess. Only the lotus can break free from the mud and bloom."

Kakuzu pondered for a moment after hearing this, then nodded, though he didn't know if he was suitable to be called a lotus.

However, breaking free from the mud does fit his current situation quite well.

After tonight, everything will be rewritten.

Kakuzu is no longer Kakuzu, the Jonin of Takigakure, but Kakuzu of the Lotus Organization.

He placed his headband on the ground, took out a kunai, and drew a line on it.

He had no connection with Takigakure Village from then on.

"Let's find a place to rest for the night, and then head back to the Land of Fire tomorrow morning."

After Kakuzu responded, Toru controlled the puppet to transform into a stream of light and return to the mark.

Then, Qu Feng brought his thoughts back to his body.

I opened my eyes and got out of bed. My clothes and sheets were soaked with sweat. I felt a little tired while controlling the puppet.

It seems that prolonged separation of consciousness from the body for manipulation does put a certain burden on the body.

Qu Feng feels a bit weak right now, but changing the sheets and taking a shower shouldn't be a problem.

Just as I was taking a bath, the system's voice sounded.

[Ding - Chaos Event: Kakuzu's assassination attempt on the First Hokage has ended. Completion: S. Reward: 8000 Calm Points.]

The S-rank rating only gave 8000 points, which is just average. But since the system came out, I unlocked Kakuzu's character encyclopedia at the same time.

Another 1,000 points have arrived, bringing the total to 9000 points, which is not bad.

In fact, the actual rewards for the tasks are more than that; I created an organization and recruited Kakuzu.

These are the takeaways from this event, and overall it's been pretty good.

With an organization, we can do many things that are inconvenient to do on our own. However, we are currently short-staffed and need to recruit more people.

However, there's no rush. After all, apart from Kakuzu, there aren't any particularly strong rogue or wandering ninjas in the ninja world right now.

We can only take one step at a time.

After taking a shower, I felt much refreshed, and the fatigue from controlling the puppet disappeared.

This chaotic event made him realize that having a puppet was actually quite convenient.

For cross-border operations, there's no need to leave home at all; just have the puppet follow along, and then take control once you reach your destination.

However, there isn't really any special or powerful bloodline limit at the moment, otherwise, I could make a few more puppets to play with.

Chapter 136 New System Reform

However, there isn't really any special or powerful bloodline limit at the moment, otherwise, I could make a few more puppets to play with.

Perhaps we could have Kakuzu keep an eye out in the ninja world for children or ninjas with special abilities.

All you need to do is draw a vial of blood; it shouldn't be too difficult.

It's already late at night, and if it weren't for the Chaos incident, Qu Feng would have been asleep by now.

I felt sleepy as soon as I finished showering, so I quickly went back to bed to get a good night's sleep.

I think I'll be full of energy again tomorrow.

Two days later.

Tokiwa woke up in bed. He didn't need to train with Hashirama today, so he didn't get up very early.

After being woken up by the system, I went back to sleep, and it's probably close to ten o'clock now.

After dressing and washing up at a leisurely pace, he left the tribe's territory.

For some reason, Ah Bai seems to have run off to play today. I searched for him in the yard for a long time but couldn't find him.

I hope I won't get caught and eaten.

But I doubt anyone would dare eat a talking hen, right?

The weather was nice today, very sunny, but also very hot, and there were far fewer pedestrians on the street.

Everyone is probably staying home to avoid the heat.

Toru was about to head to the Hokage Building to see if there was anything he could do.

Arriving at the Hokage's office, I knocked on the door.

Tobirama's voice came from inside: "Come in."

He pushed open the door and went inside. There were quite a few familiar faces inside, including people from Chiri and Hiruzen's squad.

Such a scene made Toru think that something serious had happened, but judging from the smile on Jiri's face, it shouldn't be too serious.

When Zhili saw Qufeng arrive, she greeted him with a smile: "Qufeng, come here quickly!"

Qu Feng smiled and strode over.

He bowed to Tobirama, who nodded in return.

"According to information from the underworld, five elders of Takigakure Village were murdered two nights ago."

Tobirama placed his hands on the desk and looked at the children: "According to the bounty issued by Takigakure, the culprit is Kakuzu, a rogue ninja from their village."

"According to sources, he was sentenced to death by the elders after failing to carry out a top-secret mission, and he took such drastic measures because he was dissatisfied with the verdict."

"Their entire family was also wiped out, and only some women and children were found in a secret room."

After speaking, Tobirama's gaze swept over Torifu and the others.

What are your thoughts?

The crowd sighed upon hearing this, but didn't feel anything particularly special, since it wasn't something that happened in their own village, and they had killed quite a few people.

"Wouldn't Takigakure be leaderless? Fortunately, it is bound by Lord Hashirama's treaty, otherwise Takigakure would have disappeared by now."

Hiruzen said calmly, showing no sympathy for Takigakure's plight; he'd rather spend that time training.

Everyone shared their opinions, and Tobirama nodded repeatedly, showing his satisfaction with his disciples.

As Kazue Tokiwa is practically his apprentice, he naturally has to offer his opinion.

What Zhili said was quite good; he analyzed the possible causes of this incident and the pros and cons of it for Takigakure Village.

As one of the parties involved in the incident, Qu Feng also gave a serious account of his views.

It's basically about taking yesterday's events, outlining a framework, and then polishing it a bit.

After he finished speaking, everyone fell into deep thought, seemingly taking Qu Feng's account as the truth.
