Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

"Have a safe journey, everyone."

Everyone nodded to Ebizo and then left the small building where they had stayed for two days.

I have a deep feeling after these two days. Unlike Konoha, which was prosperous from the beginning, Sunagakure truly rose from humble beginnings.

They built their own village amidst the endless yellow sand. Regardless of what happens in the future, at least now, the people of Sunagakure can see their affection for their village in their eyes.

However, for everyone in the ninja world, history has been slowly changing with the arrival of Touken Ranbu, and no one knows what the final outcome of the Five Kage Summit will be.

Even Tokiwa doesn't know what the ninja world will be like after the talks.

Whether war breaks out or peace is truly maintained rests entirely on the decision of the Five Kage.

After all, they are the ones who rule the entire ninja world.

After passing through the thick sand-blocking wall, everyone once again felt the raging storm in the desert.

The storm whipped up dust and sand, reducing visibility to very low, but everyone already knew their approximate location.

If you just keep going in the current direction, you will reach the oasis that day.

The sandstorms there should be much less.

However, it cannot be ruled out that the area may have already been occupied by someone else.

People communicated entirely through hand gestures while walking in the sandstorm; just by opening their mouths, they could feel the sensation of eating sand to their heart's content.

We walked for a long time, but because of the sandstorm, we couldn't see the sun and couldn't tell the time.

Even Qu Feng dared not fly into the sky rashly, otherwise he might get separated from his companions.

So everyone could only blindly keep going, but Hiruzen's direction was generally accurate.

Even if you don't reach the oasis, you can keep walking until you reach the border of the Wind Kingdom.

As they walked, they noticed that the sandstorm was gradually subsiding, and the oasis they had previously seen was slowly reappearing before their eyes.

"The sandstorm is so strong, it's suffocating me."

Xiaochun didn't say much the whole way, which made her feel really stifled, and her hair and ears were full of sand.

After uttering a complaint, Xiaochun immediately began tidying up.

"Impressive, Hiruzen. He managed to find the oasis accurately even with such a strong sandstorm."

Kagami couldn't help but praise Hiruzen, saying that if they hadn't found an oasis, he really didn't know how they would have spent the night in this sandstorm.

"No, it's just a little trick passed down in the family."

Hearing Hiruzen say that, no one pressed for details. They said it was a small trick, but how could it be simple to be able to pinpoint the location so accurately in this vast expanse of yellow sand?

After a while, Xiaochun and Zhili finished cleaning up and looked much cleaner.

The male ninjas didn't care much about these things; they just shook their heads, expelling most of the sand, and then ignored it.

"Let's go deeper into the oasis, and be on guard."

This oasis can block the wind and sand, so its area must be quite large, probably about half the size of Konoha Village.

It's unrealistic to say there's no one inside right now; let's just hope they're not blind.

Sure enough, when the group arrived at the center of the oasis, the water source had already been occupied by a group of people.

They looked like a passing caravan, but it would be a pipe dream to think that such a trick could fool Qu Feng and his group.

However, before you know the other party's motives, it's best not to expose them rashly, otherwise the enemy won't be on guard against you.

"Brothers, the sandstorm outside is too strong. We would like to rest here for the night. Is that alright?"

The scarred man, who was leading the group, said, "Hey, what are you saying, young brother? This isn't our territory either. We're just taking shelter from the sandstorm."

He then added, "My name is Hei Luo. May I ask your name?"

Seeing that the other party had taken the bait, Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled faintly: "My name is Fujimoto, it's a pleasure to meet Brother Kuroro today."

This so-called Black Luo is definitely not his real name, and this group of people is not a caravan, but ninjas!

It's highly likely they're in cahoots with the rogue ninja who attacked them before, but we don't know their strength, so it's best to be cautious.

"Young man, you don't look like you're from the Land of Wind, do you? Why have you come all this way here?"

After leaving Sunagakure, Hiruzen and his group removed their headbands and changed into ordinary clothes, which made it easier to move around and could also confuse the enemy.

"Ah, we're from the Land of Fire. We wanted to go to the Land of Wind to do some small business, but we got lost."

As he spoke, Hiruzen glanced at his luggage as if it were nothing out of the ordinary.

Hei Luo perfectly captured this scene, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.

He put his arm around Hiruzen's shoulder and said, "Come on, little brother, sit down."

Then he called on the group of people who had taken the wind, and offered them meat and wine.

That's incredibly generous. If they were just ordinary people coming to Feng Kingdom's capital to do business, they would probably have already been fooled.

Hiruzen and the others also pretended to be drunk and unable to speak coherently.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Hei Luo decided not to pretend any longer and eagerly asked, "Young brother, I'm a bit short on cash, could you lend me some money?"

After saying that, a kunai appeared in his hand without him noticing and stabbed straight into Hiruzen's stomach!

"Haha, brothers, we've got more drinks to drink!"

Seeing that he had succeeded, Hei Luo immediately shouted, seemingly because his frequent ambushes of civilians had made him forget how to be a good ninja.

A sound like a mirror shattering rang out, and Hei Luo suddenly discovered that the 'Fujimoto' beside him had been reduced to rubble!

He looked up abruptly and found 'Fujimoto' standing not far from him with a mocking smile on his face.

The man beside him had bloodshot eyes!

"Sharingan! You're Konoha ninjas! Damn it, brothers!"

Hei Luo called out loudly, but no one responded.

He looked back and saw his brothers lying on the ground, clutching their throats, their faces ashen and covered in a faint frost.

Only then did he suddenly realize that wisps of mist had appeared around him. How could there be mist in an oasis at dusk!

"You can still react, so it seems you're not too depraved after all," Qu Feng said calmly.

With a wave of his left hand, all the surrounding clouds and mist gathered in his hand.

Mirror spoke coldly: "The moment we met, you were already under the genjutsu of the Mangekyou Sharingan."

Chapter 79 Return to the Village

Mirror spoke coldly: "The moment we met, you were already under the genjutsu of the Mangekyou Sharingan."

Hei Luo gritted his teeth fiercely, never expecting that he would be defeated here today!

He just felt sorry for the brothers who had fought alongside him; they died without knowing why.

That ninja can actually control the clouds and mist, what a bizarre ability!

"You think you've got me cornered?" Black Luo suddenly burst into laughter.

"I, Hei Luo, haven't been around for nothing all these years! Even if I'm going to die, I'll take one of you with me!"

Everyone was extremely vigilant about Hei Luo's struggles before his death, and dared not be careless in the slightest.

"Wind Release - Sandstorm!"

Hei Luo exhaled a strong gust of wind, stirring up all the sand and gravel on the ground to form a small sandstorm.

The sandstorm blurred their vision, making it difficult to see their surroundings, but this did nothing to harm Jing and Zhili.

The Sharingan allows one to clearly see the enemy's movements.

"Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique!"

Flames like flowers carried shurikens into the yellow sand, followed by the sound of clashing metal.

The group immediately located the direction and simultaneously unleashed their ninjutsu towards the source of the sound.

But it seems like they didn't hit anything.

"Ice Release - Ice Sword Slash!"

He used the wind and ice to condense a giant sword blade, and slashed it fiercely towards the ground!

The ice sword shattered, scattering countless small ice crystals that merged into the sandstorm, where they then froze and bonded together.

Gradually, an ice wall formed, and the storm gradually dissipated due to the obstruction of the ice wall.

Qu Feng looked around but couldn't find any trace of Hei Luo.

"I didn't expect him to get away," Hiruzen said, clearly somewhat unconvinced.

Jing smiled and said, "After all, we've been through the desert, so some of our methods aren't unusual. Just don't mess with us."

Qu Feng didn't care about any of this. The fact that he managed to escape meant he was lucky. As long as he didn't bother him again, that was fine.

The surroundings were in chaos due to the battle, and there were corpses all over the ground. It would be really unlucky to get up to use the toilet in the middle of the night and see corpses everywhere.

So we still need to find a solution. The most direct way is to burn it, but that might attract other enemies.

"Crystal Escape - Clusters lead to spreading."

With a light step, the ground began to tremble slightly, and a small crystal sprout appeared next to each corpse.

Then it began to grow rapidly, and in just a few breaths, it enveloped all the corpses in the crystal.

Eventually, it became a large cluster of crystals, slowly sinking into the ground.

So many crystals encasing the body and burying it underground may remain an unsolved mystery for thousands of years to come.

After everything was resolved, we could finally rest in peace. We lit the fire again, raising the temperature in the surrounding area.

Qu Feng then took out some water and food for everyone to eat. After all, the things in the ring were meant to be shared with everyone, and he couldn't possibly eat that much himself.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, it was completely dark. In order to prevent Hei Luo from recklessly launching a midnight attack on them, they decided to...

Kagami took the initiative to keep watch during the first half of the night, while Akimichi Torifu was responsible for the second half.

When you're traveling, you have to trust your teammates, so everyone was able to rest peacefully.
