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

Family ties?

It seems not.

Friendship?

It seems too early to say.

love?

Although there are indeed people who want to marry him...

So, is it Fuuka Koyuki? Or his nominal fiancée Hinata Hyuga? Or perhaps Hinata Hanabi...?

Okay, Hinata Hanabi is too small.

How about a yukata?

Yes, the yukata belongs to the disciple.

So what do you actually possess?

Chapter 109: Hidden Cloud Village

Humans are strange creatures.

We don't appreciate what we have until we lose it and then we regret it.

Qiye now understands this sentence very well.

I originally thought it was just a monster, and that killing it wouldn't be a big deal.

Who knew that after it was burned, Hinaka also disappeared.

Because its wish was fulfilled, it disappeared.

How can we even begin to work on this? What kind of nonsense can we possibly research?

No, this time it's really impossible to even study ghosts.

It's not easy to encounter a ghost in this life. This was Qiye's first encounter, but she failed to seize the opportunity.

If I had known, I wouldn't have rushed to burn that monster; I could have kept Hinaka busy studying it for a while longer.

Now, all we can do is waste this one piece of material.

However, this did remind Qi Ye that perhaps he needed to cherish what he had now.

Just like how they failed to cherish their daily lives and plunged headlong into the struggle between the major ninja villages.

Now, I have to travel all over the world.

However, if those things hadn't happened back then, Feng Hua Xiaoxue probably wouldn't be doing too well.

He quite liked that little girl.

She was just too naive and didn't learn much from him, not even as much as Hinata Hanabi.

However, after truly getting involved in politics, he gradually matured.

The fact that she wanted to marry him was something he wasn't quite used to.

But Shichiya didn't think too much about these things.

Regret was useless, so Qiye decided to study those giant animals.

With his abilities, catching some animals would naturally be easy for him.

They didn't take any lives; it was unnecessary.

However, they still managed to collect quite a few corpses.

Animals fighting each other can be seen as a situation where the snipe and the clam fight and the fisherman benefits.

Then we sailed away from the island.

He moved all the books from the house to the ship, since having a lot of research materials would help him avoid detours.

Although he believed that no one could compare to him in this field of research.

But in literature there is no first place, and in martial arts there is no second.

Research is also a type of literature, and everyone has different perspectives on the same research. If we don't learn from each other, we won't be able to continue on the path of research.

Just like those mad scientists back then, everyone was a genius, everyone had their own research methods, but they just came together to do research, and there were even so-called Taoists, magicians, wizards and the like.

Among them, Qi Ye had the most contact with scientists and Taoist priests, and had relatively little contact with magicians.

Perhaps it was because he was Chinese that those Taoist priests were asked to take care of him.

Unfortunately, the so-called Taoist priests and magicians are actually just ordinary people who are only knowledgeable about related things. The only true ability user is Qiye.

But that doesn't matter anymore.

……

After drifting on the sea for more than a month, Shichiya successfully landed in the Land of Lightning.

The Land of Lightning also has ports.

Overall, the Land of Lightning has a relatively high altitude, with many peaks that seem to reach straight into the clouds.

The cities of the Land of Lightning are basically built amidst such mountains.

Due to geographical reasons, the people of the Land of Lightning have a darker complexion.

It's not so much that it's black, but rather that it's red from being in the sun.

Anyway, they're different from people from other places.

Therefore, outsiders are easily recognized here.

There is no war now, and many outsiders come here to do business and travel.

Before even getting close to the coast, Shichiya destroyed the medical ship and the books, and flew to the Land of Lightning with the fishing lights.

Anyway, I've already memorized all the contents of the book. The Land of Lightning can't get the medical ship, otherwise who knows what they might research and develop.

Qi Ye would never underestimate the talents in this world.

In addition, the Snow Country is currently receiving a lot of attention, so its technology has become a subject of research for various countries.

However, it's unlikely that there will be any results in the short term.

After landing, we arrived in a city.

While eating at the restaurant, Qiye also learned a lot of information.

The war between the Land of Snow and the Land of Water has ended, but the entire land has fallen, and the Land of Water has been destroyed.

During the attack on the Daimyo's residence, the Daimyo of the Land of Water was killed in a bombing raid, and his family, clan, and others were also wiped out.

The Land of Water is now part of the Land of Snow, which has become one of the new Five Great Nations.

Although the number of ninjas remains a serious problem.

As for any other more specific information, Qi Ye couldn't find out.

Those things don't just spread out casually.

However, now that the Land of Water has been conquered, Nanaya no longer intends to pay attention to it; Hinata Hanabi will handle everything.

As for Shichiya himself, he planned to stay in the Land of Lightning for a while.

He had been to the Ninja Continent and several other countries, but he had never been to the Land of Lightning.

Kumogakure, the Hidden Cloud Village in the Land of Lightning.

At this time, the Fourth Raikage was in power, and the overall strength was very strong. Most of the Cloud Village ninjas were skilled in using Lightning Release and swordsmanship. They carried a sword with them all day long, as if they were ready to start a fight at any time.

Perhaps most of the people here are also rather short-tempered.

Anyway, Yu Huo was quite scared, looking weak and submissive, following behind Qi Ye with one hand tugging at the hem of Qi Ye's clothes.

Nana didn't care at all and took the little girl for a stroll around Kumogakure.

He could always swagger into other people's villages and rarely get caught.

Even if he discovers it, he can get away instantly.

So unless someone can monitor the entire village, there's no way to find him.

"This place is quite unique!"

Some houses were built by hollowing out the mountainside, such as Raikage's office.

That's the highest point; from there you can overlook the entire Hidden Cloud Village.

Unlike Konoha, Konoha's terrain is mostly flat, with small hills and such being the only uninhabited areas.

Yunyin is more like a mountain town.

"Lord Nanaya, shall we be staying here from now on?"

Yu Huo couldn't help but ask.

She didn't like it here. Seeing all those girls with darker skin tones, she worried that she would end up like them.

Girls, well, they all love to look good.

As for how to address Seven Nights...

She couldn't just call Qi Ye "brother" like Tian Tian and the others, nor could she directly call Qi Ye by his name.

That's why he's called Lord Seven Nights.

This is equivalent to putting yourself in the position of a subordinate.

Or should I just call him Master Seven Nights?

Then she wouldn't be a subordinate, but rather a maid.

Even if she wanted to, Qiye wouldn't agree, even though it sounds pretty good.

"Yes, we'll stay here for a while and gather some intelligence."

Qi Ye nodded.
