Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

After learning the news, Toru remained silent for a long time. He still remembered the pleasant conversation he had with the two Kage when he was in Konoha Village.

They were the ones who introduced me to my grandfather's story from his youth.

Life is so short; a farewell on that day may become a final farewell.

The deaths of the Water Shadow, Hakurenkawa, and the Earth Shadow, Ishigawa, were somewhat acceptable to everyone, given that both Shadows were quite old and had accumulated health problems from their years of fighting.

It will more or less affect lifespan; living to seventy or eighty years old is still considered worthwhile.

After all, the average lifespan of a ninja in that era was only around thirty years.

But what puzzled the entire ninja world was why the Raikage also died?

The Raikage isn't particularly old; he's probably only a little older than Hashirama.

How could someone in the prime of their life suddenly pass away?

The Hidden Cloud Village couldn't possibly tell the Raikage how he died, so everyone could only speculate and discuss it in secret.

Rumors spread like wildfire.

After the three Kage died, their successors immediately took over the title of Kage and led the village again.

The mindset of young ninjas is different from that of the older generation of ninjas.

After the Second Kage took office, he immediately began to carry out sweeping reforms in the villages, which greatly improved the strength of the three villages.

It's clear that this successor wasn't cultivated in vain.

Fortunately, no one seemed to have any intention of breaking the peace treaty; it seems they were still wary of Hashirama.

However, the news of Hashirama's sudden announcement of his resignation as Hokage spread throughout the entire ninja world in less than a week.

This has given some people with ulterior motives pause for thought, as they seem to believe that Hashirama's downfall might also be due to some unspeakable reason.

For example, lifespan.

But regardless, even if they really wanted to start a war, it would be quite presumptuous of them.

The fighting strength of Konoha Village is not limited to Hashirama. Underestimating Tobirama will make them suffer.

Qu Feng was woken up by the system. He stretched and got up to get dressed and wash up. In the past two years, Qu Feng had hardly used his calmness value.

I have accumulated nearly 20 calmness points, and the chaos points have dropped to two.

It seems to decrease a little every year, and Qu Feng also discovered that two points of calmness can be directly erased by consuming 5 calmness points.

However, Qu Feng did not choose to erase it, because as long as he seriously completed each chaotic event, the chaos value could not increase.

There's no need for two sets of 5 calmness values.

"Come get some wind, come get some wind, aren't you going out yet?"

A clear male voice came from outside the window.

Qu Feng had just finished washing up and replied casually.

"If you want to go out with Liuyun, then go ahead. You don't need to come and tell me."

Chapter 112 Changes

Qu Feng had just finished washing up and replied casually.

"If you want to go out with Liufeng, then go ahead. You don't need to come and tell me."

The male voice belonged to none other than Qingyun, the wind-controlling spirit beast.

In the two years that followed, it learned to speak and also learned ninjutsu from Liuyun.

They are now a major force in the battle against the wind.

"Okay, let's go out and have some fun then."

Before Qu Feng could say anything, the sound of wings flapping came from outside the window.

It was obvious that Qingyun and Liufeng had already flown away.

Qu Feng had originally planned to have Qingyun and Liufeng breed baby cranes, but let's just see how they are now.

Every day, it runs around like a child, and Qu Feng thinks he might have to wait until the Year of the Monkey to hold the baby crane.

So I simply stopped caring about it and let things take their course.

"These two kids are really a handful for the chickens."

Another woman's voice came from outside the window, her words filled with melancholy.

"Ah Bai, you don't need to worry about them so much. They are already very strong and can protect themselves."

An ordinary old hen has learned to talk in the past two years.

They named it Ah Bai, which was quite fitting for its appearance—a white old hen.

The fact that Ah Bai could learn to speak was something Qu Feng had never expected. He had only intended for Ah Bai to live comfortably until the day its lifespan ended.

This can be considered as repaying it for hatching Qingyun Liufeng, but unexpectedly its body is becoming stronger and stronger.

Finally, he even learned to speak. If this doesn't prove that Ah Bai was nourished by the immortal energy within Qingyun and Liufeng, then...

There's no better explanation for this.

After Ah Bai learned to speak, she started nagging every day, like an old hen, and her biggest concern was her two chicks.

Having lived together for several years, they could be considered part of the Wind Chaser's family.

The once quiet and deserted tribal area is now bustling with activity every day, and Qu Feng doesn't dislike this feeling.

"Even so, what mother doesn't worry about her child? Are you going out today too?"

Qu Feng pushed open the window and saw Ah Bai walking and talking in the yard.

"Yes, these days are the ceremony for Tobirama-sama's succession to Hokage, and almost all the ninjas in the village will be there."

Ah Bai preened his feathers: "Go on, all of you go on. This old hen won't interfere in your young people's lives."

Qu Feng was speechless after hearing what A Bai said. It was as if he was an old, empty-nest hen.

Too lazy to say anything more, I got dressed, ate a simple breakfast, and went out.

It's worth mentioning that Aunt Kato's child was also born last year; it's a boy.

He named him Heng, and Feng also gave him some of his own childhood toys, which are perfect for children his age to practice grasping.

When he has free time, Qu Feng will visit Duan and Heng, and they are now like brothers.

As long as Tu Feng doesn't go on a mission, Duan will follow him around like a little tagalong.

In the past two years, Qu Feng has grown quite a bit taller, reaching about 1.7 meters, and is now considered a very mature person.

He has a high reputation and prestige in the village.

This is mainly because none of the large or small missions that Qu Feng has carried out have failed.

Moreover, he was humble and never viewed ordinary villagers or prominent families with prejudice.

Hashirama even considered assigning a few subordinates to Torifu so that he would have an assistant when not working with Hiruzen and the others on missions.

However, Qu Feng always refused with various reasons, mainly because he believed that subordinates should be trained by himself to be trustworthy.

Otherwise, they might sell you out if you encounter a life-threatening situation.

After being rejected several times, Hashirama gave up.

As I walked through the streets, I noticed that Konoha Village was much more lively in the early mornings than it had been two years ago.

In the past two years, with the development of Konoha Village, people from surrounding small villages have gradually moved to Konoha to live.

There was even a samurai family that wanted to settle in Konoha and learn ninjutsu.

After the ninjas checked his identity, Hashirama agreed to let him join Konoha.

Qu Feng was strolling around aimlessly when a voice called out to him near the center street.

"Hey, Feng, you're up so early."

“Weren’t you here early too, Chiri?”

Chiri wore a dark blue robe, her purple hair flowing down her back. Two years had passed, and Chiri had become more and more beautiful.

However, he was still a bit shorter than Qu Feng.

"Brother Jing must be busy preparing for the succession ceremony, right?"

Chiri smiled and said, "Yes, Lord Tobirama wants to appoint my brother as his secretary."

He had a vague premonition about this matter since the Five Shadows Summit two years ago.

“Kagami is the young head of the Uchiha clan. Would your father agree to that?”

“My father isn’t old-fashioned either; he certainly wouldn’t let my brother miss such a good opportunity to develop his abilities.”

Qu Feng also realized that he was overthinking things, after all, being the Hokage's secretary was a very important position.

Moreover, it's great for developing one's abilities, and Jing should be able to learn from it how to be a good head of the household in the future.

"So, what's Zhili up to do so early?"

Zhili made a mischievous face: "Guess! If you guess right, I'll tell you."

Tori could only smile helplessly. When Jiri was alone with Tori, she was becoming less and less like a young lady.

"I guess you have a mission to complete, otherwise you would have gotten up even later."

Chiri rolled her eyes. "There's definitely a mission involved. Do you even need to guess?"

"Alright, I'll tell you. I went to Aunt Red Woman's place to get the Naruto skin for my brother."

Is it an embroidery shop?

"That's right. In the entire Hidden Leaf Village, only Aunt Red Woman is qualified to embroider the Hokage cloak. Her craftsmanship is absolutely superb."

Qu Feng nodded. If it were Hong Nu, Qu Feng might not recognize her, since he didn't know much about embroidery.

But if we're talking about the embroidery shop, then everyone in Konoha Village should know about it.

The shop owner of the embroidery shop made the First Hokage's cloak, which is why the embroidery shop has been doing booming business for fourteen years.
