Living your daily life in a shonen anime seems to be wrong.

It would be different if it were Qiye.

Nanaya has always been quite image-conscious and pays great attention to maintaining her image as a doujinshi artist. She often brings up doujinshi drawing.

He also pays great attention to maintaining the image that he is not a lolicon, and he doesn't want others to think that he is a lolicon.

Is he a lolicon?

No.

He just has a particular fondness for young girls.

And she has to be a cute little girl; someone as wild as Sakura Haruno is out of the question.

However, Qiye can assure you that he absolutely had no intention of having anything happen between himself and the girl.

Although he drew many Lolita-themed books.

And there are all sorts of storylines...

Well, anyway, this guarantee has no credibility.

However, when giving Yuhu a physical examination, Qiye really didn't think about anything else. Although his eyes were full of fanaticism, it was fanaticism for the sake of research.

Originally, Shichiya planned to stay for a few days before heading to the Land of Water with Yuhuo.

He has already sent a message to Kazeka Koyuki, asking her to send a medical ship to the Land of Water, which he intends to use.

The Land of Snow has medical ships used to transport the wounded and the like. They currently travel between the Land of Water and the Land of Snow, so dispatching one wouldn't have any impact.

However, Shichiya needs an improved medical ship, with some equipment that wasn't originally there, and a stockpile of medicines, etc.

Seven Nights has no plans to return to the Land of Snow for the time being.

But on this day, I ran into a few acquaintances.

An acquaintance from Konoha Village in the Land of Fire.

Although they are called acquaintances, there are only two people I actually know: Naruto Uzumaki and Anko Mitarashi.

We met on the street, what a coincidence.

"Lord Shichiya, it's been a long time!"

Seeing Nanaya's Mitarashi Anko, she smiled broadly, but that smile seemed a little dangerous.

She and Qi Ye had indeed not seen each other for a long time.

Chapter 100: That's what they say...

On the island, in a teahouse.

Nanaya and Mitarashi Anko sat at one table, while Tenten and others sat at another.

Adults have their own circles, and children have their own circles; there's nothing strange about that.

Mitarashi Anko and her group came on a mission: to help the Land of the Sea transport gold to the Land of the Water.

To put it nicely, it's military spending; to put it bluntly, it's protection money.

The Land of Water is surrounded, yet someone is still thinking of sending them protection money, which surprises Nanaya.

However, I didn't ask any further questions.

If it were to be given to the Land of Water, it could only end up in the Land of Snow.

However, they actually asked Konoha ninjas for help with the escort...

Is this a plan to run straight into Konoha's arms if things go wrong?

The Land of Fire and the Land of Snow are allies, but their relationship has become slightly tense recently due to the events in the Land of Waves.

The main reason is that the daimyo of the Land of Fire wants the Land of Snow to secede from the Land of Waves so that the Land of Waves can be restored.

The Land of Snow was naturally unwilling. How could they just give away territory they had worked so hard to conquer?

Even if you give it away, there have to be conditions.

Therefore, the two sides have begun negotiations.

The details of the negotiations are still unknown, but it is estimated that both sides made concessions and gained some benefits.

Nanaya didn't know how Hinata Hanabi and Kazaka Koyuki would play their next move, but it was certain that they were unwilling to suffer losses.

However, in negotiations between major powers, it is likely that the interests of smaller countries will be sacrificed.

This is not something hard to imagine.

However, none of this matters, and Qiye doesn't care about these things.

Mitarashi Anko didn't care. She didn't have much political sense. Anyway, Tsunade assigned her a task, and she just had to complete it according to the requirements.

However, she had another matter to attend to when she came to the Sea Kingdom.

She was quite surprised to meet Qi Ye.

"Why is Lord Nanaya here?"

As he asked this question, he glanced around.

After confirming that no one was eavesdropping, he leaned close to Qiye's ear.

"Could it be because of Orochimaru's base?"

She had been here before, but lost part of her memory and hadn't been able to recall it for many years.

She originally thought that Qi Ye would know something, but a few years ago, Qi Ye had Tian Tian pass on a message to her, saying that he didn't know anything about her.

But now, the fact that Shichiya is here makes her suspicious again.

"You don't know what happened back then but you're unwilling to tell me, do you?"

"How would I know about your affairs? I'm not a mind reader."

Without looking up, Qi Ye stacked the cups on the table like a human pyramid with great interest.

He always focuses his attention on these trivial matters.

But Mitarashi Anko doesn't believe it.

"Then why are you here?"

"When you're traveling, you just go wherever the road takes you. Is it strange that you're here?"

"That's not surprising..."

I still feel there's something wrong with Mitarashi Azuko.

It's hard for someone who has never lost their memory to understand that feeling of confusion and fear.

After all, once a part of one's memory is lost, no one knows what that part of the memory actually was.

Perhaps something terrifying has happened to me.

However, Shichiya could understand.

He also lost part of his memory, which was from his childhood.

Anyway, I was already several years old when I first started out, old enough to remember things, but my earliest memories are of wandering alone outside, and I have no memories of anything before that.

Unlike Mitarashi Anko, Nanaya didn't care what kind of memories she had lost.

Anyway, there's no way to change it now, is there?

But precisely because of this, a suggestion was still given.

"Since you care so much, why don't you go and take a look at the old base? Maybe the sight of it will remind you of it."

Although Tenten and Hinata killed all those people, they didn't destroy the base.

That was a battle at sea, and the powerful attacks wouldn't affect that base.

"If you still can't remember by then, then forget the past completely and look to the future."

The past is only for reminiscing; those who live only in the past will never have a future.

Humans are beings that possess a past, present, and future.

The important thing is now.

Only by making the most of the present can we have a better future and create more wonderful memories in the past.

That being said, it's hard to imagine what kind of future someone as颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it implies a state of being listless, dispirited, or demoralized) as Qi Ye would have.

"...That makes sense."

Mitarashi Anko finally nodded.

There's no better way anyway.

Let's not even talk about whether Qiye knows or not. Judging from his expression, even if he does know, he probably won't say anything.

So the only way is to go and see for yourself; maybe then you'll remember.

"Maybe," what a beautiful word, it represents a kind of hope.

Although more often than not it is just an illusion.

Just like Yu Huo has had a persistent feeling these past few days that his innocence might be in jeopardy.

However, upon closer reflection, it seems that Qi Ye, under the guise of a physical examination, saw and touched everything that he should and shouldn't have seen or touched.

How can someone possibly be innocent?

The fishing lights were not quite understood.

But she dared not say anything, because now she could only place her hopes on Qiye.

She seemed somewhat afraid when facing the ninjas from Konoha.

Although she was sitting with people of similar age, she shrank into a corner, trying to minimize her presence.

Aburame Shino also eliminated her own sense of existence.

He, Naruto Uzumaki, and Ino Yamanaka were the three genin who accompanied Anko Mitarashi on this mission.

Ino Yamanaka and Hinata Hyuga are classmates. She gets to know Tenten through Hinata Hyuga, and then the three girls start whispering to each other.
