Naruto: After traveling through time, I became the disciple of the first generation

Chapter 1824 Hiruzen's Heartache

"When I was little, I used to pester you for candy. Now that so many years have passed, it's time for me to stand on my own. Let's all give way to the old folks."

Hiruzen sighed, "It's time to step aside. Although I still look young, my mindset is old, and I feel a bit tired."

Toruka glanced at Hiruzen: "Has he had enough of living? That won't do. I have plenty of fruit in my hand. Keep eating!"

Hiruzen was genuinely pleased to hear that Toru would also give him the Fruit of Life.

"It's not that I'm tired of living! I just don't want to work anymore, I want to lie down and relax, just like you!"

Qu Feng laughed and said, "You were the most energetic one when we were young, but now you're really old and just want to lie down and relax."

"What did Asma say again? Seventy is the age to make a name for yourself, why lie down?"

Hiruzen never expected that Torifu would tease him with his son's words: "You, Torifu! It's good to have an obedient son, you don't even feel the pain of standing."

"He's talented, strong, and obedient, so you don't have to worry about him."

"My two kids are really something, sigh..."

Hiruzen was truly at a loss. Although Shinnosuke was deeply loved by him and was a very sensible child, Hiruzen was helpless.

However, it seems that fate didn't want Hiruzen to have a perfect ending, as Shinnosuke's ninja talent wasn't that outstanding.

It's about average, neither good nor bad. With some effort, it's possible to achieve three-quarters of the daily kill rate.

However, surpassing Hiruzen would be quite difficult.

But Asuma is quite talented; with hard work, he might be able to surpass him.

But he's a rebel, always trying to go against him.

Some time ago, he even said he wanted to become a bodyguard ninja for the daimyo!

This really infuriated Hiruzen.

The child is too young to understand Da Ming's current situation, but how could he not understand?

The so-called great name is now nothing more than a puppet.

All matters, big and small, concerning the Land of Fire, including cooperation, alliances, and wars with other countries, are managed by Konoha Village.

With a single thought, the wind could wipe out an entire daimyo family from this world, and replacing them with an ordinary person would be a piece of cake.

This kid insists on becoming a bodyguard ninja for the daimyo.

If the couple hadn't given him some inside information, this kid would have really thought that being famous was some kind of glorious position.

But ever since I explained things to him, this kid has started to contradict me again.

Enraged, Hiruzen gave him a good beating.

"What you're saying is just because you spoiled Asma too much when he was a child. When I was a child, I used a combination of firmness and gentleness in disciplining Haoyuan, so he is very sensible but not rigid now."

"You, all you do is spoil your youngest son. Now you regret it, but it's probably too late."

Hiruzen was filled with remorse and regret, but there was nothing he could do; he had indeed spoiled his son too much when he was young.

"Let me give you a suggestion."

Hiruzen's eyes lit up upon hearing this: "What! Really?!"

Qu Feng nodded: "Of course, would I lie to you?"

"Say it quickly!"

After listening to Feng Ting, he smiled and said, "After you die of old age, he will definitely realize his mistake, and the relationship between you and your son will improve."

Hiruzen was taken aback for a moment, then immediately realized that Torifu was teasing him.

"That's bullshit! What good will it do me to care whether things have improved or not after I'm dead!"

"Get out of here, don't delay my work."

Toru laughed heartily, attracting the attention of the surrounding ninjas.

"Lord Hiruzen and Lord Torifu have a really good relationship."

"That's right, no wonder they're brothers who grew up together."

"Alright, alright, what does this have to do with us? Go get to work, or you'll get yelled at again."

Sure enough, Hiruzen heard people talking around him and immediately looked around.

The ninjas immediately lowered their heads and began working diligently.

"All of you, behave yourselves and get to work quickly. Let's finish today's tasks so we can all get some rest!"

Then, he waved his hand at Qu Feng and said, "Alright, alright, you should leave now. Don't make me angry here, or I'll really be driven crazy."

"Haha, okay, I'm leaving now. You can get back to work."

As soon as he finished speaking, he vanished into a cloud of mist.

Hiruzen shook his head helplessly: "This wind-transferring thing, really..."

After returning home, Qu Feng sat in the pavilion and couldn't stop laughing.

When Zhili saw him, she thought he had gone mad: "What's wrong? Did you get a shock while you were out?"

Takefusa turned her head and glanced at Chiri. She was dressed very beautifully today and even had makeup on.

"No, I just chatted with Hiruzen for a bit. What are you up to?"

"Let's go shopping with my sister-in-law, we don't have anything else to do anyway."

As Konoha Village has gradually developed, it now boasts several large department stores.

It gathers things from all over the ninja world, such as jewelry, clothing, and gems from various countries.

Merchants can even bring over items from other worlds, which truly shows their remarkable abilities.

This has made it one of the most popular places in Konoha Village.

Zhili often went shopping with his sister-in-law, and they would often manage to buy some nice things.

"Alright, go ahead. The other world has been closed recently, and there are fewer tourists from other countries, so there probably won't be many good things left."

Chiri was also worried about this: "Then...won't it affect the mall's sales? If the mall goes out of business, what will I do shopping there?"

Qu Feng spread his hands: "There's nothing we can do. If it really goes bankrupt, it just means the boss isn't capable. We can just find a new boss."

After hearing this, Zhili agreed wholeheartedly: "Yes! That makes sense. If there is a real risk of bankruptcy, I will contact them in advance and buy the mall."

Qu Feng was speechless. That wasn't what he meant at all: "Please don't! Our family already has enough businesses. If you buy the mall, it will be squeezing out the living space of other families."

Qu Feng rarely buys anything directly anymore; otherwise, he would have been able to buy the entire village.

But what good is that? The other families have no way to survive; they're all just working for the wind-collecting tribe.

There will definitely be families that can't stand it, and that's when conflicts will gradually arise.

Qu Feng now controls two schools, several restaurants, a factory on the back hill, and some scattered investments.

Although there are quite a few, there is definitely room for other families to survive, and a very large one at that.

"Fine, whatever you say. I won't buy it. Besides, I was just saying it casually, so don't take it seriously."
