Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

The wind in the sky slowly rose into the clouds and disappeared.

Just when Hashirama thought the great Buddha had finally left and was preparing to annihilate these white monsters, another unexpected event occurred!

All the clouds in the sky were rotating and converging in one direction, affecting clouds within a radius of hundreds of miles, all converging towards the center point.

Just as all the clouds gathered together, almost condensing into a tiny white dot in the sky!

A sudden explosion occurred! The clouds that had gathered together surged outwards in a frenzy, spreading outwards from the wind-driven center.

At the same time, a large number of clouds began to rise continuously, forming nine layers of cloud rings!

"Ten Thousand Immortals Formation! Return!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the nine-layered cloud ring instantly transformed into a nine-tiered celestial palace! Each layer was filled with pavilions and towers, cranes flew among the clouds, and rare beasts stood on the clouds overlooking the earth!

Immediately, countless pillars of light lit up in each of the heavens, and each pillar of light released an incomparably powerful pressure that swept across the ground!

As the beam of light dissipated, figures appeared in the clouds, some fat, some thin, some male, some female, but without exception, they all wore jade crowns, wore white robes, and held sharp swords!

They were all people with an air of otherworldly wisdom and refined demeanor.

Tens of thousands of White Zetsu were unable to stand up under this pressure, while Hashirama was stunned, completely forgetting why he was unaffected.

That magnificent heavenly palace was something that Zhujian had never seen or heard of before, let alone that there were thousands of people on each layer of clouds!

Everyone else is many times stronger than him!

Everything happening tonight is reshaping his understanding of the world. Although Hashirama is not arrogant, he is undeniably the strongest ninja in the ninja world today.

But there were at least ten thousand people in the sky who were stronger than him! And they all seemed to obey the man standing in the sky.

"Everything is for the sake of all living beings."

"Ten Thousand Immortals Formation! Activate!"

With a flick of his wrist, countless cloud swords rained down like a torrential downpour, ruthlessly reaping the lives of White Zetsu!

At the same time, all the immortals on the Nine Heavens Palace made hand seals together, and in an instant, lightning, storms, raging fire, extreme ice, metal and stone, and rain frantically attacked the White Zetsu on the ground!

If the previous giant sword attack was a world-destroying power, then Hashirama couldn't find the words to describe this attack.

Lightning and ice shards struck the White Zetsu's head with divine precision, each strike capable of taking the lives of dozens of White Zetsu!

Then the fire burned the bodies to ashes, while the gold, stones and rainwater continuously filled the cracks in the earth and extinguished the spreading fire!

As the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation unleashed its devastating attack, the earth's 'wounds' gradually began to heal.

Apart from the scorched earth caused by lightning and fire, the deep pits and cracks that were previously created have been smoothed out and disappeared.

All that's missing is planting some trees, and it will be exactly the same as before.

After a series of 'cleansing' operations, not a single White Zetsu could be seen on the ground. In the end, using this technique to fight tens of thousands of White Zetsu was really a waste of its potential.

But for Qu Feng, he'd saved up for a year just for this one day! And you're not letting him have it? Are you even human?

Through the techniques of the ancestor, it can be completely confirmed that the ancestor is not from this world!

Because none of the techniques used to obtain wind require hand seals, and the energy used is not chakra.

Qu Feng himself couldn't explain what kind of energy it was, since he knew nothing about how his ancestors cultivated.

"Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, depart."

After speaking, the nine-tiered celestial palace, along with the celestial cranes and rare beasts, transformed into clouds and dissipated, while the thousands of immortals rode away on the glow of the sunset and vanished without a trace.

Hashirama finally came to his senses. It seemed the battle was over, but it was probably his turn soon.

Hashirama felt a little uneasy. Judging from the posture of the person in the sky, it seemed to be a friend rather than an enemy.

However, it's still best to be cautious.

He then transformed into a shooting star, arriving in an instant not far from Hashirama.

The startled Hashirama, who was still feeling uneasy, took a long time to recover before quickly bowing in greeting.

"Junior Senju Hashirama greets senior, but does not know your name."

He stopped Hashirama from bowing, since no matter how much he used the trial card, he was still essentially still taking the wind from the clouds.

If I were to receive a bow from my master, I fear it would shorten my lifespan!

"There's no need for that. I know what you're thinking." Qu Feng spoke calmly, his voice seemingly possessing a magical quality that gradually calmed Hashirama's emotions.

But actually, it was just that Qu Feng added a calming mantra to his speech, and it seems to have worked well.

"I am the progenitor of the Cloud Clan, who turned to dust in the clouds."

As expected! Hashirama had suspected from the beginning that this person might be a member of the Cloud Clan, but he never expected that he would be the ancestor of the Cloud Clan.

This person must be at least several hundred or even a thousand years old, right? How come they look younger than me?

"I am very grateful to Senior Yunzhong for his help today."

Hashirama was being sincere; tonight he could say he did nothing, yet he resolved everything.

Konoha was unharmed, it's just a pity that Madara died, but after all, the two had already risked their lives, it's just that I was a little luckier.

Qu Feng, feigning maturity, waved his hand and said, "It's nothing. That person disturbed my peace, so this is just punishment."

"Speaking of which, it seems I have a descendant still living in this world?"

(The protagonist doesn't know how to cultivate immortality! The protagonist doesn't know how to cultivate immortality!)

Chapter 51 Peace Has Never Existed

"Speaking of which, it seems I have a descendant still living in this world?"

Upon hearing this, Hashirama smiled and said, "Yes, senior. Although I don't know which generation of your descendant I am, the Cloud Clan does indeed still have bloodlines in the world."

Qu Feng nodded calmly: "That's fine too."

"I have accepted your descendant as my disciple, please do not take offense." Hashirama said with a respectful expression, for he had to show the proper attitude towards such a powerful figure.

If you accidentally anger someone, the consequences won't be good.

Qu Feng waved his hand: "It's alright. You are already the strongest in this world. It would be best if you taught me."

For Yu Qufeng, being lectured by his master was a very novel experience. Usually, his master would strictly teach him and point out his mistakes.

Today, it's the other way around.

"With you here, how can I claim to be the strongest? Senior, please stop teasing me."

Qu Feng, feigning a profound expression, shook his head: "I already told you, I am just a lonely soul, and I have long since died."

Hashirama was momentarily stunned, thinking that the term "lonely soul" that the Cloud Ancestor had mentioned was just a niche name given to him by a powerful figure.

Who would have thought it really was a soul? If even a soul is this powerful, what about a real person? Hashirama immediately fell into a state of depression.

The thought, "So I'm not even as good as a soul," lingered in Hashirama's mind.

But this was just an excuse for Qu Feng to run away. Who knows whether the ancestor is really dead or not?

Anyway, it has nothing to do with me; it's just a way to raise a banner and complete a task.

But it seems that I have inadvertently offended my master, triggering the hidden version of Hashirama.

"Young man, you have a long road ahead of you. Don't argue with a dead man like me about these things." Seeing his master like this, Qu Feng had no choice but to offer words of comfort.

Hashirama then recovered and said, "I may never reach your level of strength in my lifetime, but I will do my best to teach your juniors well."

Qu Feng understood his master's character; he wouldn't lie just because of circumstances. So, Qu Feng felt very warm inside.

"Here, let me give you a gift."

Qu Feng opened his palm, and a cloud of mist swirled around him. Then, a cube that looked like it was made of white jade floated in Qu Feng's palm.

It also has a nine-tailed fox pattern engraved on it.

"Senior, what is this?"

Hashirama was somewhat puzzled. Although the item was exquisitely crafted, he couldn't guess the Cloud Ancestor's intention.

"It's that nine-tailed fox."

Hashirama suddenly realized that the Nine-Tails had been captured and taken into the sky and had never appeared again. It turned out that it had been captured by the Cloud-Sage and turned into a decoration.

Seeing Hashirama's expression shift from confusion to sudden realization and back to confusion, Torifu decided to explain.

This is a sealing technique I created. It can seal any object or life form into this jade stone, but each jade stone can only be used to seal once.

"What if we seal it one more time?"

It's going to explode!

Hashirama then understood, and he carefully took the sealing jade from the hands of the Cloud Ancestor.

It feels cool to the touch, but after touching it for a while, it feels warm and smooth. It's truly a wonderful product.

"Senior, does the seal on this item have an expiration date?"

This thing is good, but if the sealing time is not long enough, it would be better to seal it into a person's body.

Qu Feng smiled calmly: "Don't worry, as long as no one of equal strength as me tries to break it, it can remain sealed indefinitely."

Thus, Hashirama breathed a sigh of relief. As the most powerful tailed beast in the world, Kurama had been hunted by various countries.

Although the tailed beasts never harm humans and even try to coexist with them, human greed still drives them to hunt the tailed beasts.

Over time, all the tailed beasts became irritable, easily angered, and aggressive.

"There is a small space inside this jade, enough for that nine-tailed fox to live comfortably."

Then, with a wave of his hand, eight more square pieces of white jade were created. Unlike the previous ones, these eight pieces of white jade had no patterns on them.

is brand new.

Hashirama was still hesitant to reach out and accept them. He glanced tentatively at the Cloud Ancestor, who nodded in agreement, before finally taking the eight white jade pieces along with the one that sealed the Nine-Tails.

"You should know that besides this nine-tailed fox, there are eight other such strange beasts in the world."

Hashirama nodded. The Cloud Ancestor was probably referring to the other eight tailed beasts, which are now scattered around the world, and some have already been brought under control.

"The sealed jade I gave you can merge with the human body, allowing one to control the sealed objects within the jade at will."

Hashirama's mouth dropped open in astonishment! Why is this old man spouting such bombshell news today? He shocks me with every few words he utters?
