Amado nodded when he heard this, took the three bowls and chopsticks, and sat in the gazebo.
"Big Brother, Second Brother, I'm home!" Minato jogged into the yard and was immediately attracted by the aroma. "It smells so good!" Amado smiled and greeted Minato. "Your Big Brother is cooking today. Come on over and wait for dinner." Minato nodded happily. "Okay, I'll go wash my hands first."
In a little while, Torifu brought the dishes over. There were a total of three dishes, which was enough for the three brothers to eat. "I forgot to buy groceries today. Let's just make do with this meal."
Minato shook his head. "How can you call this 'making do'? This is delicious." Torifu saw that the boy seemed very happy today. Could it be because of the trophy he had given him this morning? He was still a child, and it was so easy to make him happy. If he had given Amado a trophy to brush him off, although he wouldn't be able to say anything to his face, he would probably scold Torifu behind his back.
The three brothers ate like a storm. The three dishes and a pot of rice were all finished very quickly. Only some rice was left, which was just enough for breakfast tomorrow morning.
"What did your teachers teach you this afternoon?"
"Nothing much. They just explained some of the deficiencies we had in the practical combat class this morning."
Torifu nodded when he heard this. This was quite good. Knowing one's weaknesses and deficiencies would help them try to overcome or avoid them in future battles. After observing the practical combat class for an entire morning, there were indeed some promising young talents. However, Torifu didn't plan to take on any more disciples. He would have to find others to share the load. Kagami, Danzō, Koharu, and the others hadn't taken on any disciples yet. He couldn't let these highly talented children be buried.
After dinner, Amado and Minato consciously started cleaning up the table and put everything in the sink. Minato stood on a small stool and seriously washed the dishes. It was only three people's tableware, so he finished washing them in a little while. The sky was also getting dark. There were very few pedestrians on the streets at this time, but every house was still brightly lit. Ever since the invention of lights, the villagers' bedtime had been extended by an hour.
At this moment, Torifu was sitting on the rocking chair in front of his house, playing a game. The clouds around him were preventing mosquitoes from biting him. The mosquitoes were the most ferocious right before autumn.
"Sigh, why can't I stop myself from wanting to click on the duel field? I clearly said I wouldn't touch the duel field until the villagers' strength improved." Torifu didn't say less words of repentance, but his flawless victory record had not stopped. He didn't even want to give away two kills. So his words had no credibility at all. The twenty wins that Hashirama had to work so hard for, Torifu completed with ease. This was the difference between people. Even though he hadn't played this game in over twenty years, after practicing for a few rounds, he could still easily crush the primitives.
"I'll just play for twenty wins and then stop. I really will stop." Saying that, Torifu clicked on another duel field match. Just like that, in the middle of the night in Konoha, countless teenagers couldn't sleep because they were being poked on the head. And Torifu, on the other hand, had washed up and was sleeping soundly in his bed.
But when everyone was deep in their dreams, Uzumaki Ashina walked out of his room. The entire Senju Clan compound was pitch black, but Uzumaki Ashina showed no signs of panic. He walked directly to Hashirama's house and slowly sank underground. He then slowly appeared in the living room. He walked without making a sound and easily snuck into Hashirama's bedroom. Ashina stood by the couple's bed and revealed a creepy smile. Then, from a small bag on his waist, he took out an unknown powder and sprinkled it in the air...
[Alert! An enemy has appeared outside Konoha! Alert! An enemy has appeared outside Konoha!]
Torifu was instantly woken up from his sleep! The system's alert kept ringing in his mind.
"There's an enemy!"
For a moment, Torifu couldn't figure out why someone would choose to invade Konoha in the middle of the night. But he acted very quickly. He immediately got out of bed, put on his clothes, and rushed out. Torifu continuously moved through the streets and on the rooftops of Konoha and opened the map built by the Cloud Palace to check the enemy's location.
"They're not attacking Konoha. They're running away?"
This meant that it wasn't an enemy invasion but an enemy who had been lurking in Konoha for a long time and was immediately identified as an enemy after leaving the Cloud Palace's range. The Cloud Palace's ability was to detect outsiders. Torifu didn't expect its ability to be so rigid that it couldn't even detect people who had been lurking in Konoha. But there was no time to dwell on that now. Torifu didn't know who was secretly leaving Konoha in the dead of night, but since they had ruined Torifu's rest time, they would definitely have to pay a price!
Torifu leaped high into the air and transformed into a giant cloud crane, flying toward the Hokage Rock. The Cloud Palace's map showed that the enemy was in that direction.
"This person's movement speed is actually so fast. They seem to have some skills. It's not some petty thief."
However, trying to compete with Torifu in speed was simply too ridiculous. Torifu flapped his wings and immediately increased his speed, catching up to the enemy's location!
In an instant, a white sword rain washed over the forest beneath Torifu's feet. But it did not force the enemy out. He was still moving forward quickly. Seeing that this move didn't work, Torifu immediately turned into a crystal seed and fell toward the enemy's location! In an instant, a large area of trees was covered with a layer of crystal armor, and countless crystal spikes shot out from the ground! The land was turned into crystals by Torifu. And the constantly fleeing enemy finally appeared! He was impaled by a crystal spike and was struggling in pain.
"White Zetsu! How could it be a disgusting thing like you!"
Torifu never expected that the one who had infiltrated Konoha was White Zetsu! This guy's disguise jutsu was top-notch. Not even the most advanced perception jutsu could detect him. When his name was called out, the White Zetsu was also shocked. "How do you know our name?! How do you know?!"
Torifu shook his head when he heard this. "How I know isn't important. Luckily, I set up the Cloud Palace in advance, or I really would have let you get away."
"Tell me, what did you take from Konoha? Going back so hurriedly, are you going to see your master?" Torifu pulled out the Crane's Cry Sword and held it to the White Zetsu's throat. "Hand it over. I know you're not afraid of death, but please cooperate."
At this moment, a sound of footsteps came from deep within the forest and was constantly approaching Torifu. The footsteps were very steady and gave off a strange sense of pressure.
"Kid, this guy is very useful to me. How about you hand him over to me first?"
