Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

Wu sat not far from where he was gathering wind, intently observing Ai and Shamen as they prepared for battle on the platform.

Qu Feng didn't try to get close to him, after all, he had just beaten him up, and it wouldn't be good to go up to him now.

Let's just ignore each other.

The battle on the stage was about to break out. Lightning Release had no advantage over Wind Release, so the two were basically evenly matched.

One is the successor of the First Raikage, and the other is the successor of the First Kazekage; it's essentially a clash between two villages.

Aisuwen, from the Land of Wind, was extremely poor and had never produced any powerful ninjas. So, while fighting, he tried to interfere with Shamon.

"The guys from Kumogakure are all simple-minded and physically strong."

A cool, clear voice sounded behind Qu Feng.

When Qu Feng turned around, he found Yue Ji standing right behind him, smiling at him.

"Can I sit here?"

"of course."

Before Qu Feng could even ask him his purpose, Yue Ji spoke up, "They're definitely planning to deal with me first. Do you want to cooperate with me?"

Their purpose is very clear: to find a protector who is actively approaching them.

If Wu wins, I'm afraid Yueji will make the same choice.

However, his judgment was correct; everyone's stamina was insufficient, while Yueji was at full health and mana.

In this situation, a normal person would choose to activate and defeat it first, otherwise no matter how they fight, the other party will benefit.

Therefore, if it were someone else, Yueji would definitely not agree to his idea of ​​finding someone to cooperate with.

But Toru didn't care about any of that; he had only used about two or three chakras in the previous battle.

The body still has plenty of chakra, not to mention it can recover little by little.

"Sure, I don't mind."

Seeing that Qu Feng agreed so readily to have some free time, Yue Ji smiled again.

If Qu Feng joins forces with him, they will inevitably face attacks from three people. Once Qu Feng's chakra is exhausted, he can seize the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, and success will be his.

Wuyin doesn't care about the idea that attacking from behind doesn't make you a real man.

After all, the Hidden Mist Village's method, the Hidden Mist Technique, involves ambushing and killing in the thick fog.

The two chatted casually in the stands as the battle on the field intensified.

The thunderous aura around Ai crackled, while the storm swirling around Shamen formed a protective umbrella.

The two unleashed their final, all-out attack! Lightning flashed, thunder roared, and a fierce wind howled! Sand and stones flew everywhere, obscuring all visibility.

Large amounts of lightning still occasionally shot out from the flying sand, making it impossible for anyone to get close.

After the flying sand and lightning gradually dissipated, everyone discovered that Shamen and Ai had both collapsed.

Medical staff rushed to the scene to treat the patient. They thought it would take a lot of effort, but after examination, they found that the patient had fainted because of insufficient chakra.

There were almost no external injuries.

"It was a very exciting match. The Raikage and Kazekage must have put in a lot of effort to teach their students, right?"

Hearing Hashirama say that, the Raikage felt a surge of pride: "Of course, I've put in a lot of effort on him."

He then laughed loudly and said, "But it seems we still need to practice more."

"We still need to be careful not to overwork young people; they need to get adequate rest."

Bai Lian, like a health expert, explained all sorts of dangers to Lei Ying.

The Raikage, with his fiery temper, couldn't stand such nagging and was about to explode when Hashirama stopped him.

"Let's just watch."

A very short sentence was enough to calm Raikage down.

About an hour later, Ai, Shamen, and the others had almost fully recovered their strength.

At this point, Jing walked onto the field and announced a series of rules.

"Next is the final round of sparring, which will also be a mixed sparring mode."

"The five of you can choose to form a temporary team or go it alone, but only one of you can win in the end."

"And the final victor will receive a reward from the Hokage!"

Ai had long been unable to suppress his desire to fight, and the draw with Shamen had made him very unhappy.

"Let's get started!"

Chapter 99 Battle

Ai had long been unable to suppress his desire to fight, and the draw with Shamen had made him very unhappy.

"Let's start quickly!"

Jing didn't pay much attention to Ai's urging and continued to proceed with the process at her own pace.

This action infuriated Ai, who was about to swear when she heard a soft voice from the side.

"That's someone from the Uchiha clan. You'd better not mess with him, you big oaf."

Ai looked around but couldn't find who it was, but the name of the Uchiha clan did make him somewhat wary, though only slightly.

"Hmph!" All the anger in his heart finally turned into a light hum.

Finally, with Jing's announcement, the mixed sparring officially began.

As if they had planned it all along, Shamen, Ai, and Wu attacked Yueji directly!

Yueji nimbly dodged the physical attacks of the group and countered with a Water Release: Water Shotgun!

The sky was filled with tiny water spheres that swept across the entire area like machine guns, and all three people except Qu Feng were targets of the water slingshots!

However, this move was easily neutralized by Wu's Earth Release technique.

"Are you all targeting me? Wouldn't it be better if we joined forces and defeated Kumogakure?"

Yueji's tone remained unchanged; he had already anticipated being targeted.

"Among us, you are the only one who has never made a move. We don't know your strengths and weaknesses, so we can't let you live!"

"Wind Release - Wind Slash!"

A fierce gust of wind erupted from the sand gate! It slashed straight at Moon's Trail like a sharp blade!

But Yueji didn't dodge at all; he just stood there motionless.

Just as the wind blade was about to hit the moon trail, several thick crystal spikes emerged from the ground, directly shattering the gale.

Everyone immediately realized that this guy had actually recruited that seven-year-old child, whose name was Qu Feng, I think?

"How come you're on his side?" Wu asked aloud.

Qu Feng spread his hands with a slightly helpless expression: "If he is eliminated, you will definitely join forces to deal with me, so we will definitely have to cooperate."

Now that he's confirmed to be an enemy, there's no need for further words. Ai unleashed a burst of intense lightning from his hand and thrust it towards Qu Feng! Straight to Qu Feng's throat!

But Qu Feng simply did a backflip, and suddenly a crystal mirror appeared, into which Qu Feng disappeared.

"Damn it! It keeps darting around and is so annoying!"

Ai complained loudly, and Wu then spoke up to remind him: "Defeat Yueji first, then it's not too late to find Yunzhongqufeng."

When Yueji realized that his teammates seemed to have disappeared and that the enemy was plotting to kill him, he quickly fled.

But Shamon immediately noticed: "Wind Release - Flowing Sand!"

A powerful gust of wind stirred up the sand across the entire training ground, causing it to coalesce and form a long, winding serpent that snaked its way toward the moon.

Its speed was far beyond what Moonwalk's two legs could match.

I might as well stop running away, since I have teammates anyway.

"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!"

Chakra gathered in his throat, and then he spewed out a huge water sphere that shot towards the quicksand!

The water balloon collided with the quicksand and exploded instantly, with a massive amount of water completely soaking the sand, making it impossible for the wind to control it.

The water on the ground also made it easier for Yueji to unleash her ninjutsu.

His hands kept forming hand seals, shooting out countless water arrows from the puddles on the ground, but their power was very weak, and a single earthen wall could block them.

Seeing that Zi had been completely useless, Ai felt embarrassed and plunged her hand into the water, unleashing a torrent of lightning!

But no one expected that this attack would actually work; Yueji was shocked by the electrical conductivity of water, and his feet went numb.

The speed of action has slowed down significantly.

Without taking advantage of the situation to pursue, several earth-style ninjutsu techniques were used in succession, leaving Yueji with no choice but to use ninjutsu to counter them.

Just as Shamen was about to add to the damage, a mirror appeared behind him.

The wind silently emerged from within: "Crystal Release - Whiplash!"

A crystal vine materialized in his hand and lashed out at Shamen's back! The attack caught Shamen completely off guard, so much so that he didn't even know what had happened before he was sent flying!

Immediately following was a burning pain in my back.

He reached out and touched it, and found blood seeping out: "Damn it, they didn't even notice me coming all the way behind me."

Shamen complained about himself and his 'teammates', but everyone's attention was focused on Yueji, so they naturally ignored Qufeng's presence.

So I had no choice but to put up with it.

Wu knew from Shamen's appearance that he had been ambushed, so he told Ai to be careful.

But Ai was focused on increasing the power output of lightning at that moment, so he didn't hear the whole thing.

After getting up from the ground, Shamen quickly adjusted his condition and chased after Yueji with Wu. Just then, the mirror reappeared.

This time, it was Ai from behind. Qu Feng formed a hand seal, and then around Ai, several crystal vines broke through the soil, binding Ai tightly and pulling her into the water.

"Lightning Release - Lightning Ball." Five golden-yellow ball-shaped lightning bolts appeared out of thin air.
