Chapter 1219 Tide
Qu Feng agreed on this point: "Lan is indeed a capable child, otherwise I wouldn't have come all the way here. You should know what I discussed with him, right?"
The Third Prince nodded, then stood up and bowed to Qu Feng: "Thank you, Lord Qu Feng, for training my son. He will definitely not let you down."
Qufeng waved his hand and said, "Don't be so polite. Lan is the grandson of Lord Ashina. I am just helping him a little. He is also the cousin of my brother and sister-in-law, so we are related by blood."
Then he smiled slightly: "What's more, this kid is very interesting, smart, and very capable. He will be able to reach the shadow level this year. He has great talent and a promising future."
The third prince smiled self-deprecatingly: "In order to train him, I have used all my skills. At least his talent has not been wasted. Who knows, in the future, Arashi may really make the name of the Whirlpool Country spread throughout the ninja world again."
Qu Feng glanced at him and said, "Back then I thought you were a capable and ambitious person, but I didn't expect that you would end up like this."
The third prince shook his head and said, "I thought so too, but in the end, it was proven that I did not have the qualifications and talent to manage a country. If my father had given the positions of daimyo and clan leader to other brothers, perhaps it would have been better."
Qufeng didn't say anything because this situation did not exist and no one could turn back time.
There are only two situations when you do something: satisfaction or regret. Obviously, the third prince is regretting it now.
"I am very decisive when facing the enemy, and I dare to fight and kill, but it is completely different when facing my family."
"Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to get the brothers together to do that."
Qufeng looked at the sea, without any emotion.
In his opinion, what the Whirlpool Country did back then was neither big nor small, but it was over in the end.
He came this time just to give the Whirlpool Country a chance, and to see if the new daimyo is worth training.
"So, are you apologizing to me?"
The third prince turned to look at Qufeng and said, "I guess so. After all, it was done by the Whirlpool Country. Not only did it cause great damage to the reputation of the Whirlpool Country, it also affected the relationship with Konoha Village."
"In fact, after the incident, the other brothers regretted it, but for the sake of face, they did not choose to retrieve the money and apologize, which led to the bitter consequences."
Somehow, after these words were spoken, the third prince felt much better. These brothers of theirs were truly too many failures.
The Whirlpool Country that his father founded has become a country that everyone hates.
Now he wants his son to go abroad to study in order to save his country.
It was so embarrassing.
But after admitting his mistake, the third prince's knot in his heart was much relieved.
"It's all in the past. I stopped caring about this matter a long time ago. It's just that I no longer have a good impression of the Whirlpool Country and I have no reason to continue helping you, so I haven't contacted you."
"Now I am very satisfied with Arashi. With him as the link between Konoha Village and Whirlpool Country in the future, your Whirlpool Country will be able to restore its former glory."
Thinking of his son, the third prince sighed. This son was really nothing like him in any way.
A genius mind, with strong talent in every aspect.
If this child didn't look exactly like him when he was young, he would have suspected that he had taken the wrong child.
"Where are your other brothers? After all, we are old acquaintances. Why don't you come to see me? The seventh prince's daughter is still in Konoha Village. Doesn't he care?"
"Of course I care. My seventh brother has said many times that he wants to visit Konoha Village to see his daughter and grandson, but he is afraid of angering you again. He is also afraid that others will say that he only came to reunite with you because he saw his daughter become successful, so he simply disappeared."
Qufeng nodded: "It's better not to meet, so as not to affect Kushina's mood. He is really useless as a father, just a father in name only."
The third prince did not refute, because this was indeed the fact, and he could also see that Qufeng was very dissatisfied with his seventh brother.
"The sea of the Whirlpool Country has not changed at all since then, but you have all changed a lot."
When Qufeng and his friends came together that year, these princes were all full of ambition and wanted to seize the position of daimyo and realize their ambitions!
Everyone has endless dreams, just waiting for themselves to take the lead and start realizing them.
At that time, the Whirlpool Country was also thriving and full of vitality.
But now, these princes are more incompetent than each other, and the tribesmen are even lazier, they just want to stay alive.
Qu Feng even suspected that it was because these princes were not born to rule the country, or because of the world's adjustment that the Whirlpool Kingdom was forced to be destroyed.
After thinking about it, I decided not to make excuses for them. Losers are losers.
"Okay, your biggest task now is to assist your son. During the time he is away from the Whirlpool Country to study, my clone will pretend to be him."
"Then you just need to provide cover and help with the affairs."
The third prince understood and agreed: "Of course, for the sake of the Whirlpool Kingdom, I will complete this task seriously."
After saying that, Qu Feng turned around and prepared to leave.
The third prince also stood up and called him: "Wait! ... Is father okay? Has he forgiven us?"
Qu Feng turned his head slightly and said, "You should ask this question in person later."
"This country is in such a mess right now. You, as Lord Ashina's sons, have watched this country fall into ruin, but you did nothing."
Then a complicated look appeared in Qufeng's eyes: "In this situation, what capital do you have that allows you to ask such a question?"
This sentence made the third prince stunned on the spot. Yes, did he have any achievements that his father could be proud of? No.
Was there any great merit that benefited the entire Uzumaki clan?
Should we forgive him just because he gave birth to a good son who will lead the Whirlpool Country to prosperity in the future?
There was nothing about him that would make his father proud, nor anything about him that would make his father forgive him.
The country is in its current state because of his incompetence.
"I know what to do, Master Qufeng. I will go to Konoha Village to ask my father about this issue in person later."
After hearing this, Qufeng didn't say anything, but left the beach directly.
Seeing this, the third prince also left the beach, leaving only two chairs alone on the beach.
The two chairs began to shift under the constant erosion of the sea water, and eventually disappeared into the sea bit by bit.
