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

Hashirama laughed loudly. He looked at the children in front of him, all of whom were covered in dirt, especially Tofu, whose white hair had turned gray.

Hiruzen said with great remorse, "I'm sorry, Hokage-sama, I failed in my duty!"

Hashirama patted Hiruzen's head and said, "I have seen all your actions. Everything was perfect, except that the enemy's strength exceeded our expectations."

"There's nothing we can do about it. Intelligence is never 100% accurate. We must remember this lesson!"

Hiruzen felt warm at heart when he heard that. He felt better that the Hokage could say that.

But dereliction of duty is dereliction of duty. If it weren't for the Hokage's intervention, he really had no idea how to deal with it!

If they were on the battlefield, they would probably have no choice but to die.

At this moment, Zhili threw himself into Jing's arms with a slightly crying voice.

Jing stroked Zhili's head and said gently, "I'm glad you're okay. Now you know how dangerous it is to carry out a mission, right?"

Zhili didn't say anything, just nodded.

She was completely stunned in front of the huge fire tornado, and she found that she could not intervene in a battle of this level.

She even found it difficult to escape, but luckily, the Hokage saved her at the critical moment.

When she heard the Hokage's voice in that shabby house, she was suddenly not afraid of anything.

Jing lowered his head and whispered to Zhili, "If you want to fight alongside Qufeng, then work hard to improve yourself."

Zhili still said nothing, but held Jing a little tighter.

"Everyone performed very well in this operation." Hashirama praised several people.

"But the most important thing is that Qufeng attacked Luo Wan by surprise. This is the key to the turning point."

Everyone agreed with this point. If Luo Wan had not been seriously injured and dying, it is unknown how long this battle would have lasted.

Hashirama also commented on the strengths and weaknesses of each person in this battle, so that everyone could clearly recognize their own shortcomings.

In the world of ninja, never become complacent, as this can have fatal consequences.

"Alright kids, mission accomplished, let's go back to the village and report."

Hashirama said with a smile: "I will not accompany you for the rest of the journey."

Then Hashirama's whole body began to stiffen gradually, and finally turned into wood.

Hiruzen couldn't help but click his tongue: "He released such a powerful ninjutsu, but it was just a clone!"

Danzo patted his shoulder and said, "Hokage-sama is very busy with government affairs, how could he possibly come on such a low-level mission in person?"

"That's true, Lord Hokage is really strong!"

There is no doubt about this, the God of Ninja is not kidding you.

"Okay, let's go back and report back. This battle is really exhausting."

With that, Hiruzen led his companions towards the valley entrance.

But later on he remembered that the entire valley was blocked by the wind-taking jutsu.

"Wind-taking, can this ninjutsu be unleashed?"

Qufeng nodded, walked forward and touched the crystal.

Then he snapped his fingers, and the crystal vine net shattered instantly, and all the crystal vines on the outside of the valley also collapsed and disappeared.

Hiruzen looked at the bloodline limit of Kaze and felt an indescribable envy. This endless supply of crystals could be generated by only consuming chakra.

Isn’t this a constant source of money!

Seeing that there were still a few large crystal blocks remaining on the ground, Hiruzen collected them.

He planned to take this beautiful crystal back and give it to Lake Biwa. I think girls all like this kind of gem crystal.

Without the obstruction of the crystal, everyone set out to return to Konoha Village.

Although the mission was completed, Qufeng did not receive any reward from the system, not even a prompt.

Qufeng thought that it was because the task had not been officially delivered yet, so he was not in a hurry.

After all, there is not a single living person left in the entire valley, so there is no reason not to complete the mission.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, Danzo and Uchiha Kagami were leading the way, while Koharu, Kado En and Akimichi Touka were at the back.

Protect Qufeng and Zhili in the middle.

"Qufeng, are you hurt?"

"No, I'm still pretty strong." Qu Feng answered jokingly.

After hearing this, Zhili pouted and said, "I knew I shouldn't worry about you."

Just now, Zhili heard from Jing that Qufeng wanted to go and save her alone, which made Zhili extremely moved.

To be honest, her relationship with Qufeng had only lasted for a little over a month, yet Qufeng was willing to risk his life to save her.

In order to avoid situations like today in the future, and to avoid being left behind by Qu Feng, Zhili decided to practice harder in the future.

Qufeng wanted to laugh when looking at Zhili, but he didn't know what Zhili was thinking.

Although he and Zhili had only known each other for a short time, friendship was something that could not be measured by time.

Although Qufeng's dream is to live a peaceful life, when his relatives or friends are in danger, his conscience tells him to help to the best of his ability.

This is Qu Feng’s principle in life. If he lies down just to avoid danger and lets his friends fall into crisis, he is not himself.

"Come on, Chiri. You're a genius of the Uchiha clan. You're no worse than me."

Hearing Qufeng's encouragement, Zhili became more determined. Qufeng was right. As a genius of the Uchiha clan, she would not be worse than anyone else!

Although they were traveling at night, with Uchiha Kagami, who possessed the Sharingan, leading the way, they were still able to travel very quickly.

They returned to the small village just as daybreak was approaching.

When the villagers learned that the bandits had been completely wiped out, they didn't quite believe it at first. After all, it only took them a little over a day to go back and forth.

After Hiruzen explained it many times and even brought up the Hokage, the villagers finally believed it.

This news will soon spread to various villages, and within a month, this small village will be able to resume normal operations.

We fought and traveled the whole night yesterday and are now very tired.

In order to prevent accidents on the road, everyone decided to take a short rest in the village before continuing on their journey at Hiruzen's suggestion.

Everyone returned to the hotel where they had stayed before, and the owner welcomed them warmly.

Not only were fresh fruits given to us for free, but the accommodation fee was also waived.

But everyone still paid the boss according to the original price. Life is not easy for ordinary people, and Hiruzen and the others are not short of money.

After resting for about four hours, everyone set off again.

This time we will go straight to Konoha Village in one breath.
