Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

Although the culprit has been found, he still has to hold back, putting on a harmless smile: "Thank you, uncle, I'll head back now."

After leaving the Hokage Building, I could finally openly complain: "You little brat! Wait another thirty years, and I'll show you what it means to be bullied by the Minami clan when you're old and weak!"

"Of course, now is definitely not a good time. He used Water Release: Mop in the Water! He just rushed me into the sewer."

Are you kidding me? Can anyone just conjure water out of thin air?

"Let's go home first and see what's in Dad's will."

After saying that, he walked towards the territory of the Cloud Clan.

……

"Brother! My plan has failed! The spy died on the way here! It must be the evil Uchiha clan!" Tobirama Senju said viciously in the Hokage's office.

Upon hearing this, Hashirama Senju sighed and said, "What does this have to do with the Uchiha clan? Besides, this is ultimately not conducive to peace."

"Hmph! I was just taking precautions, and it was the Cloud Village that sent out the spy. I was just going with the flow, but I didn't expect it to be ruined! Don't let me find him!"

Tobirama Senju once learned by chance that Kumogakure had sent spies to Konoha.

The plan was to capture and torture him upon his arrival in Konoha to extract information about Kumogakure, but this ultimately failed.

Seeing his younger brother going all out, Hashirama Senju could only say helplessly.

"In that case, go ahead and do it. I trust your intelligence."

Hearing his elder brother say this, Tobirama Senju's anger finally subsided.

The eldest brother's idea is too naive. The current peace is only because the major ninja villages are forced by Konoha's strength.

If something happens to the eldest brother, he will likely be attacked by everyone in an instant!

"By the way, what clan did that white-haired child belong to?"

“That’s right, he’s from the Cloud Clan. I’ve observed that he has already refined his chakra, and the amount is more than that of ordinary ninjas.”

Tobirama Senju nodded as well; he had observed the scene carefully as soon as he saw Yunzhong Qufeng.

The chakra contained in that small body was no weaker than that of a top-tier ninja in the village.

If they can receive proper guidance, they will definitely be the pillars of Konoha's future!

"It seems the Cloud Clan is about to rise again."

"Ah," Hashirama Senju said earnestly.

"If Yun Zhongshan hadn't failed to learn their family's secret escape technique, the Yun Zhong clan probably wouldn't have joined Konoha at all."

"This is the downside of having only one son in the family. What are your thoughts on this child, elder brother?"

Hashirama Senju pondered for a long time: "He has good talent, and I intend to take him as my disciple, but I still need to observe his character."

"Then so be it. If he has both talent and good character, we will take him as our disciple."

"Achoo!" Yun Zhongqufeng, who was on his way home, felt his ears getting hot.

He then sneezed: "Who's talking about me behind my back? Could it be the Hokage?"

Yunzhongqufeng was naturally unaware of the conversation taking place in the office.

However, he did not believe that the First Hokage would not be able to see that he already possessed chakra; on the contrary, that was his purpose.

If you want to live a peaceful life in Konoha, there is no better title than being a Hokage's disciple.

Look at those two old extras, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado.

Although he's a bit senile and has dementia, and has made a mess of Konoha, he doesn't have any ambition!

It's just that he lacked ability; in the end, he still lived peacefully until Boruto.

Even if you are the patriarch of a powerful clan, you still have to address him as "Elder" when you see him.

That's why Cloud Wind chose to show off a little in front of Hashirama Senju.

However, entrusting Konoha to these few incompetent people can only be considered a helpless move by the Second Hokage.

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen, could be considered a hero in his youth, but his later years were truly less than impressive.

They walked and complained as they went, and soon arrived at a large manor.

The buildings in the manor are all carved with a white crane flying in the clouds.

This is the emblem of the Cloud Clan, the Crane Hidden in the Clouds.

The clan's territory is quite large; I heard it was secured by the grandfather who "tried the wind from the clouds."

He himself passed away three years ago in Konoha.

The huge manor appeared quite deserted because there were no servants.

But they were used to taking the wind from the clouds; even when their parents were still alive, there were only three people in the family.

It's not much different from now.

After entering the house and finding a place to sit down, Yun Zhongqufeng opened his father's will.

He was very curious about what it was about, and specifically instructed that it could only be read by the age of six.

Gently unfolding the letter, the first thing you see is the father's vision for his son's future, along with greetings and apologies.

"Qufeng, you're six years old this year. Have you grown any taller? Please forgive your father for only being able to see you in this way."

……

Looking at his father's will, there wasn't a single word about love in it, but Yun Zhongqufeng could clearly feel his father's deep love.

"Old man, it must be really hard for you to write so much, considering you're not good with words."

In Yunzhong Qufeng's memory, Yunzhongshan has always been a man of few words.

He was rather taciturn, whether speaking to his son or his wife.

Yun Zhongqufeng was quick to learn, and this was the first time he realized that his father was such a sentimental person.

Although he is usually quiet and reserved, his love for his wife and children is no less.

Suddenly, the words of advice came to an abrupt end.

The last remaining paragraph made Yun Zhongqufeng rub his eyes with some uncertainty, but it was still clearly written on it.

'To draw air, there is a hidden door in my room.'

"Remove the obscuring calligraphy and painting, and you'll find hidden within—our Cloud Clan's most prized secret escape technique: Cloud Escape!"

'If you can learn this, the Cloud Clan will rise again!'

Yun Zhongqufeng, realizing he wasn't seeing things, was stunned for a moment.

???

"The Cloud Clan's escape technique? Cloud Escape? Aren't we just a minor family with a few hundred million in cash? Isn't that what I thought?"

Chapter 4 I'm already lying down! You're telling me there's a secret technique in my house?

If Yun Zhongshan were still alive, hearing his son say that would probably make Yun Zhongqufeng taste what true fatherly love is like!

Back in the day, the Cloud Clan was quite famous in the ninja world, so how did he come to call them a worthless nouveau riche?

"Hey Dad! I've noticed you're just like this broken system! Always so wise after the event!"

"I was ready to give up and settle down! I was prepared to cling to a powerful figure and start a peaceful life! You're telling me our family is incredibly powerful, with some kind of secret technique!"

“I made it!”

Despite his complaints, Yun Zhongqufeng still set off for his father's room to find the secret door.

To be honest, when I learned that my family possessed a secret escape technique...

My first feeling about taking the wind from the clouds was bewilderment, followed by excitement.

Although Yunzhongqufeng has now mastered the Crystal Escape technique, having more escape techniques means more strength and more safety.

Moreover, this Cloud Release technique allows clans like the Cloud Clan, which have a single lineage, to continue in the ninja world.

This demonstrates its power! Similarly, it must be difficult to learn.

Otherwise, why have we never seen his father use it? No way!

"Hey, let's go take a look first. If we still can't learn it, then we're doomed."

If he really can't learn this Cloud Escape technique, Yunzhong Qufeng will probably have to kneel in front of Yunzhongshan's grave and beg him.

"Father! This Cloud Escape technique is too difficult! Today we sever our father-son relationship. You should find someone more capable!"

Filial piety breeds strength.

Yun Zhongqufeng's father's residence was not far from here, and it didn't take long to get there.

The room was furnished just as it had been when the father was alive, except that Yun Zhongqufeng would occasionally have someone come and clean it.

He spotted the painting his father had mentioned at a glance.

Yun Zhongqufeng carefully took it down and placed it on the table beside him.

These are all old things passed down from our ancestors, they're very valuable!

Sure enough, on the wall covered by calligraphy and paintings, there was a square stone that stood out from the rest of the wall.

It is also engraved with a crane hidden in the clouds.

With a gentle press, the bricks on the wall shifted, and soon a dark passage appeared before Yun Zhongqufeng's eyes.

Without hesitation, I quickly walked inside.

A few points of light appeared on the walls on both sides; though few, they were enough to provide illumination.

He kept walking and soon arrived at his destination, a very spacious and bright room.

Inside, countless display cases were filled with all sorts of scrolls and ninja tools.

Clearly, this is the true wealth of the Cloud Clan.

Seeing the room full of scrolls and all sorts of ninja tools, Yunzhong Qufeng couldn't help but sigh.

"Goodness, I thought my family was rich enough, but I didn't realize my vision was still too narrow."
