Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

It's unclear when it hatched, and missing the first scene left Qu Feng somewhat disappointed.

However, this mother hen seems to be very good at taking care of her chicks, as both baby cranes are hiding under her wings.

Upon seeing the wind come in, the mother hen immediately crowed warily and protected the two baby cranes even more tightly.

Seeing this, Qu Feng stopped disturbing them. Once he confirmed that the baby crane had hatched successfully and was healthy, that was enough.

It's better to sign the contract when they're older.

Meanwhile, Toru also planned to buy the hen from Aunt Kato, since it was considered the 'mother' of the two little cranes.

It's almost evening now, and Qu Feng doesn't plan to go out.

See if there's anything else at home that we can eat to tide us over.

Not long after dinner, the sun began to set, marking the end of the day.

The next day, Qu Feng got up very early, even before the time indicated by the system.

After grabbing a handful of grains and other things from the kitchen and feeding them to the hen, Qu Feng began to think about new techniques.

There are many group and single-target ninjutsu, but there are very few ninjutsu that can cause large-scale damage.

The few techniques I've mastered are recorded in the Cloud Escape Technique inheritance, not techniques I developed myself.

I had a little inspiration in my head last night before I went to sleep, and this morning I couldn't wait to put it into practice.

I got up very early.

After about an hour or two, the panting and gasping for breath finally stopped.

The continuous depletion of chakra left him extremely exhausted.

Fortunately, Master gave everyone a day off today, so we don't have to go to the training session.

After making some progress in the new technique, Qu Feng stopped to rest and eat.

High-intensity training alone is not advisable, but fortunately he is a person who knows how to exercise restraint.

"Yes, we should go see Zhili today. We haven't seen each other for so many days. It's a good opportunity to tell her about what we've seen and heard along the way."

Chiri was quite disappointed that she couldn't participate in the tailed beast capture, as almost the entire village had mobilized for such an important mission.

If she hadn't experienced the family's internal strife the night before, she really would have wanted to try and fight for it, but that internal strife made her realize her own limitations.

During the days that Jiri was away on a mission to obtain wind, he trained and practiced under Hashirama's guidance.

His strength has improved significantly, mainly due to Zhili's own hard work and ambition.

Hashirama was satisfied with this, but he was still somewhat worried about Chiri's health.

Every two or three days, Mito would prepare some nutritious food for Chiri to replenish his strength.

It wasn't until almost noon that Qu Feng left his house.

It's lunchtime right now, so I can go to Akimichi BBQ restaurant with Jiri for a meal.

"Get the wind!"

Zhili spotted Qufeng from a great distance and jumped up, waving her arms in an attempt to get his attention.

Seeing this, Qu Feng strode up to Zhi Li and stopped steadily: "Long time no see, Zhi Li."

"Yes, if you count the time, you've been gone for almost a month now."

Toki nodded, confirming that what Jiri said was indeed true.

However, most of the time was wasted on the journey, and it didn't take much time to actually capture the tailed beast.

It was over in a few hours.

"Tell me quickly! How powerful are the Tailed Beasts? What do they look like? Are they the same as described in the books?"

Zhili's eyes gleamed, and he eagerly asked three questions about taking the wind.

"Don't rush, Zhili. Let's go eat first and talk while we eat."

"That's true, hehe, let's go then!"

Seeing how enthusiastic Jiri was, Torifu felt relieved.

He had been worried that Chiri would be discouraged by not being able to participate in the mission, but now it seems he had worried unnecessarily.

"Oh! Isn't this our shop's God of Wealth? Please, have a seat!"

When the owner saw Tokifumi and Chiri enter, he immediately went up to greet them and then led them to the best spot in the store with the best view.

"You're too kind, boss." Zhili smiled slightly.

"Is it the same as usual today?" the boss asked tentatively.

After thinking for a moment, Toruka glanced at Chiri again and saw a sense of affirmation in Chiri's eyes.

"Well, the old way."

The owner immediately shouted, "Bring all the side dishes to table number one, and another twenty plates of meat!"

The surrounding guests were amazed by the amount of food consumed at this table, but Toki and Chiri seemed to be used to it.

He ignored the stares of those around him.

They're still growing, so what's wrong with eating more?

The surrounding diners just watched the spectacle, and seeing that neither of them reacted, they all went about their own business.

The boss also went back to the kitchen and instructed everyone to hurry up and serve the dishes so as not to delay the God of Wealth's appetite.

"Qu Feng, tell me quickly!"

Seeing that Zhili was still in such high spirits, Qufeng told her about everything he had seen and heard along the way.

This includes the fact that he and Tobirama entered Amatera Village and stayed at the Mifune family's house.

"Eh? A samurai? I've never seen one before."

Qu Feng waved his hand: "It is said that most of the samurai nowadays are just half-baked and easily defeated."

Upon hearing this, Chiri pouted and said, "Who knows, maybe Mifune will be able to revive the samurai in the future?"

"You think so highly of him?"

"I'm just guessing. Judging from your description, this person has a strong will. Maybe."

Qu Feng didn't say anything more, but he thought that Zhi Li's judgment was really good.

"What are we going to do later?" Zhili asked while grilling meat.

"Go see Tsunade, I have a gift for her too."

"Huh? I wasn't prepared!"

Upon hearing this, Zhili immediately panicked. It would be really inappropriate to visit her master's beloved granddaughter empty-handed.

"It's okay, I've prepared it for you."

Take a small, exquisite wooden box from his pocket and push it in front of Zhili.

Zhili picked it up and examined it carefully, then gently shook it: "What is this? How much does it cost? Can I afford it?"

"You'll see when you open it. It's just a small trinket, not worth much, maybe around a thousand taels."

Upon hearing this, Zhili nodded; a thousand taels was indeed nothing to her.

"What? It's mysterious."

Zhili placed the box on the table and slowly opened the lid.

Suddenly, a warm and gentle light of pale green shone on Zhili's face.

Zhili felt incredibly relaxed, and even the soreness in her hands and feet from the intense training these past few days had disappeared.

People around were also drawn to the green light and turned to look.

Startled, Zhili quickly put the lid back on.

Chapter 69 Giving Gifts

Startled, Zhili quickly put the lid back on.

"What is this thing? It's called 'Wind-Taking'," Zhili asked quietly, afraid of attracting attention.

"It's a family heirloom; they say it can keep people from getting sick."

Upon hearing this, Zhili quickly pushed the box back: "How can I give away an heirloom? No, no."

Qu Feng smiled and said, "This must have been made by one of the elders in the family; there are quite a lot of them."

"If you like, I can give you one too."

Although Tokifu said so, Chiri was still somewhat skeptical, but after Tokifu's repeated attempts to persuade her, she finally accepted the box.

Of course, these so-called ancestral heirlooms are nothing more than fabricated stories used to deceive people.

It's actually a healing necklace that you can redeem from the system shop. It costs 200 calmness points and lasts for about five or six years.

It can only help recover from minor injuries and avoid common illnesses, but it's still worth it.

Seeing that there was no more commotion on Qu Feng's side, the other onlookers stopped paying attention and continued eating.

After settling the bill with Kaze and Jiri, they set off for the Senju clan's territory.

The barbecue restaurant owner's words, "Come again next time!" still sounded so warm and friendly.

A short while later, the two arrived at their destination.

Both Torifu and Chiri had visited more than once, so the Senju clan members were very familiar with them and greeted them warmly.

After all, this is the apprentice of their own clan leader, so they are all considered family.

"Master, Mistress, Lord Tobirama, we've arrived."

Mito, the master's wife, came out to greet Toki and Haruto, and gestured for them to come inside.

Since having her granddaughter, Mito has been all smiles every day, and her complexion looks much better.

"Master's wife, is Tsunade home? We've come to give her a gift."
