Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

Whether it was because of last night or something else, Hashirama's gaze towards Torifu held an indescribable meaning.

Hashirama nodded to Torifu, then turned to the crowd: "The village will be carrying out a very important plan in the coming period."

Chapter 58 Capturing the Tailed Beasts

Hashirama nodded to Torifu, then turned to the crowd: "The village will be carrying out a very important plan in the coming period."

Hearing Hashirama say this, everyone was curious, wondering if it was related to the commotion last night.

Hashirama didn't keep them in suspense and stated it directly: "In the near future, the village will be capturing the Tailed Beasts."

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned. They thought it was related to what happened last night, but they didn't expect it to be about capturing the tailed beast.

According to the book, the tailed beasts are extremely powerful. There are nine of them, each with different abilities, and they can be resurrected after a period of time even if they are killed.

Lord Hashirama is now trying to capture something like this?

"Hiruzen, Danzo, and Akimichi Torifu will be following Sarutobi Sasuke next week to capture the Eight-Tails."

"Kagami, Koharu, and En will follow Uchiha Kagura to capture the Seven-Tails."

Hiruzen and the others accepted the order without hesitation, and the importance of the mission could be understood from the ninja leading the team.

Sasuke and Kagami are both clan leaders, with unparalleled strength and status. It takes a mission to capture ninjas of this caliber.

This shows how much the Hokage values ​​this matter.

"To obtain the wind..."

As for obtaining wind, Hashirama really didn't know whether or not to assign him the task.

In terms of strength, Tofu is undoubtedly a powerful ninja, but he was sent to capture the tailed beast at the age of seven.

It was something that Hashirama couldn't overcome psychologically, or perhaps he was afraid that if something unexpected happened, he wouldn't be able to explain himself to the Cloud Ancestor from yesterday.

After all, they gave Konoha a great gift yesterday, and today I'm sending their descendants to carry out such a dangerous mission.

I feel somewhat guilty.

Qu Feng also saw his master's dilemma. If his master assigned him a task, it would break his own principles.

As a disciple, having received the guidance and care of my teacher, I should naturally share his burdens.

Besides, he had even defeated Madara Uchiha, so what was there to be afraid of?

“Master, I am already a ninja.”

Yes, Toru was already a ninja, and he even personally bestowed the headband upon him.

I've said it before, Qu Feng is different from other children, but why is he being so hesitant today?

With that in mind, Hashirama no longer hesitated: "I will use Cloud Reaper to capture the Six-Tails, following Tobirama. We will set off next week."

"Zhili's strength is not enough, so he doesn't need to participate in this mission."

Hearing this, Zhili wasn't too disappointed, after all, she had a clear understanding of herself.

Although she has made considerable progress this year, asking her to capture a tailed beast is a pipe dream.

It's practically like they went to deliver snacks to the tailed beasts.

Of course, Chiri was quite envious of Tobirama's ability to accompany him to capture the Six-Tails.

But after all, Tokifuku's strength is undeniable; even Hiruzen, the elder brother, lost more often than he won when sparring with Tokifuku.

Not to mention myself, I've never won.

[Ding - Quest accepted: Capture the Six-Tails, Quest Rank: S]

Judging from the wind, the system would definitely say: 'An S-rank mission should yield a lot of tranquility points, right?'

Qu Feng's desire to carry out the mission also had a bit of personal motive involved.

With his current strength, he should have no problem following a powerful ninja to capture the tailed beasts.

And following Tobirama would be even better.

Although Tobirama's strength is not as good as his master's, it is only second to his master.

Moreover, the Six-Tails' strength is considered average among the tailed beasts, which undoubtedly reduces the difficulty a lot.

However, we still need to be wary, as none of the Tailed Beasts are incompetent.

Even the weakest tailed beast is not one that anyone can mess with.

After assigning the tasks, Hashirama gave a few more instructions and then dismissed Hiruzen and the others.

Hiruzen and the others are already seventeen years old, and there's not much left for them to learn from Tobirama, so they don't need to train much.

Meanwhile, Tsukyo and Chiri began their daily practice.

Over the past year, Hashirama did not simply teach the two martial arts, but began to train them based on their strengths in wind manipulation and sage.

This led to a significant improvement in both of their abilities.

Unfortunately, Hashirama wasn't very good at illusions, so Chiri had to go home and learn illusions from her father or grandfather.

After a morning of cultivation, Qu Feng and Zhi Li were exhausted and covered in sweat.

Hashirama's training method perfectly balanced the limits of both of them, without putting a burden on their bodies, and allowed them to improve themselves to the greatest extent.

Neither of them complained. Although they were tired, they could clearly feel their strength increasing.

"Let's go, Zhili, let's go eat." Torifu wiped his sweat and said to Zhili.

Zhili shook her head. She hadn't slept well last night, and then she had to cultivate all morning, which made her feel like she couldn't hold on any longer.

"I'm not going today, I want to go back and rest for a while."

Upon hearing this, Torifu expressed his understanding. Fearing that Chiri might faint on the way, Torifu escorted Chiri all the way home.

He only turned and left after seeing her enter the clan's territory.

Since Zhili wasn't there, there was no need to go to that barbecue restaurant. I just bought some food from a small shop and went home.

But as soon as he stepped into the house, he remembered that he needed to borrow the old hen to hatch his eggs.

So he left and walked towards the Kato family's house. The Kato and Torifu families were neighbors, and he arrived not far away.

Three-year-old Duan was playing in the yard when he saw Qu Feng coming, so he ran into the house.

Before long, Mamiko came out with a smile, and Dan followed timidly behind her, peeking out his little head.

"How have you been these past few days, Qu Feng?"

Qu Feng smiled and said, "Not bad, Aunt Kato."

He then added, "I came here today to borrow a hen from you."

Mamiko was puzzled after hearing this. Why would someone borrow a hen for no reason? Did they want to eat chicken?

"Does Qu Feng want to eat chicken? Come inside, Auntie will go kill a chicken right away."

Seeing that Aunt Kato had misunderstood, Torifu quickly said, "No, Aunt Kato, I just found two eggs by chance."

"I feel like I have a special connection with them, so I wanted to hatch them and keep them as pets or something, but..."

Upon hearing this, Mamiko finally understood. It turned out that they wanted their own hen to help incubate the eggs. What a joke!

"Haha, I see. You wait here, I'll go find you a stronger one."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the chicken coop in the yard.

Young Kato Dan stood there, and Torifu tried to squat down and tease him, but instead, he ran away crying.

Why is this child so afraid of me?

From their first meeting, Kato Dan had been somewhat afraid of Torifu, and even Mamiko didn't know why.

There's no way around it; kids always have people they don't like.

A short while later, Mamiko returned, carrying a white hen that looked quite robust!

It is twice the size of a normal hen.

"Let's get some wind and see if this one is suitable."

Chapter 59 Departure from the Land of Hot Springs

"Let's get some wind and see if this one is suitable."

Mamiko specifically chose a hen that she had raised for several years and had hatched several broods of chicks, so she was very experienced in incubating eggs.

He wasn't picky about the wind he was taking, since he didn't understand these things; as long as it could hatch eggs, that was fine.

Carrying the hen in his hand, he thanked Mamiko and went home.

Upon arriving at the tribe's territory, Qu Feng found an empty room, laid out some straw, and placed the crane eggs on it.

Then they threw the chicken in too.

The old hen was a little unaccustomed to the new environment and kept clucking incessantly in the house.

Qu Feng simply ignored it and turned to leave.

Crane eggs have very hard shells; they won't break even if dropped from a table, so there's no need to worry about them being pecked and eaten by the hen.

After being busy for so long, the lunch that Qu Feng bought on the way was cold. Too lazy to go out and buy a new one, I could only make do with what I had.

A week later, it was time to set off to carry out the mission.

Before leaving, Qu Feng checked on the condition of the crane eggs, but they were still the same as they had been a week ago.

Perhaps there will be a surprise when Qu Feng returns from this mission.

When Toki arrived at the Hokage's office, he ran into Hiruzen Sarutobi and his group who had just come out.

Hiruzen was still complaining to the middle-aged ninja beside him.

Judging from the wind, this should be Sarutobi Sasuke, the current head of the Sarutobi clan and an extremely powerful ninja.

For this operation to capture the tailed beasts, the Sarutobi clan mobilized a large number of ninjas to ensure the mission's success.

This applies to every clan that accepts the mission to capture a tailed beast, including the Sarutobi clan.
