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

"What time is it now?"

"In the middle of the night."

Mitarashi Anko pouted slightly, seemingly unhappy that she couldn't see Nanaya's right eye.

She's still just a young girl, as expected.

Unfortunately, he later followed Orochimaru and went astray.

Well, to be precise, they've become more ruthless and decisive.

"What do you mean, the middle of the night? It's bright and sunny."

He patted his bottom and stood up.

"Let's go, it's already noon, time to hit the road."

Noon at 3:45...

If you didn't know better, you'd think this guy was going to die.

However, Mitarashi Anko wouldn't understand this point, since there's no such thing as noon in this world.

He simply looked up at the sky...

You can't even see the moon, the sun is shining brightly...

Well, that's enough to prove that Qiye is completely upside down.

But that doesn't matter, at least Shichiya has started working.

Thinking about it this way, Mitarashi Anko suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment. It was she who got Nanaya to stop slacking off and start working!

Actually, Qiye is working hard now only so that he can be lazier later.

Preparations were already underway at the construction site, with several spotlights illuminating the area as bright as day.

Upon closer inspection, Qi Ye discovered that the ship's hull had been roughly erected, mainly the keel. With that completed, the subsequent work became much simpler.

It is indeed like a ship, which is the means of transportation that Shichiya decided on after careful consideration.

There are many types of transportation vehicles, including those used by land, sea, and air.

Putting everything else aside, there are vehicles that run on land, such as cars and trains, so it's not impossible to make one if we really wanted to.

But even if you manage to make it, it's all for nothing without fuel.

There is no oil in this world. Even if there were, we would first have to explore, then extract it, and then use equipment to refine it into gasoline and diesel. That would be a huge project, and Qiye would never do such a troublesome thing.

So Shichiya decided to build an airship.

It has no terrain restrictions, flies directly in the sky, and is not dependent on roads.

If the design is good enough, the load capacity will not be low, but the speed may not be ideal.

However, for a world that relies on things like oxcarts and horse-drawn carriages, that was fast enough.

The only troublesome thing is controlling the forward-moving engine.

Of course, Shichiya had already planned it out. He would send a few ninjas who knew fire-style techniques to build a steam engine and have them take turns boiling water to power it.

Asuma seems perfectly suited for this kind of thing.

Okay, that's what they say, but Shichiya had already thought of the power system.

Whether it flies in the sky, runs on the ground, or swims in the water, the troublesome thing is the power system.

"It would have been much faster to just get a few hot air balloons!"

Qi Ye muttered to himself.

Hot air balloons are indeed quite fast, can be mass-produced in a short time, and are relatively easy to operate.

It's a bit disappointing that the load capacity is limited.

But there's no point in arguing about this now.

After calling over several responsible persons and arranging new tasks, Qi Ye himself threw himself into the intense manufacturing work.

It has to be said that ninjas are really useful creatures; one ninja can be as effective as a dozen ordinary people.

"Maybe it can really be made in two days!"

Chapter Twelve: Ideas

According to later records, during the Third Shinobi World War, an airship, an aerial transport vehicle, was finally launched into the sky on a certain day after two days and two nights of intensive work by the Konoha Research Department. This caused a huge crowd of Konoha residents to flock to watch, creating a scene of thousands of people turning out to watch.

Later generations unanimously agreed that the invention of the airship was of epoch-making significance, and Konoha, having gained air superiority, laid the foundation for victory in the Third Shinobi World War.

……

No one knows how future generations will comment on it.

Anyway, under the pressure of the contractor Qiye, after two days and two nights of hard work, they finally managed to build the so-called airship and successfully took off into the sky. After a huge cheer, everyone went to find a place to rest, all slumped over.

When the Third Hokage arrived, almost no one was still awake.

Except for the seven nights.

Qi Ye, relying on his strong mental strength, worked for two days and two nights without sleep, but he wasn't actually that tired.

But in order to be lazy, he pretended to be sleepy and kept yawning.

He met the Third Hokage, said a few words, and ran away.

"These are all experienced people. They can just supervise the production. Don't bother me unless there's a problem."

Then he went back to the shrine to sleep.

Seeing this, the Third Hokage, who still had many questions he wanted to ask, gave up on seeking out Nanaya for further information.

But looking at the workers and ninjas sleeping all over the place, all he could do was sigh.

Another day passed.

The next day, after the members of the research department had rested, the Third Hokage, along with two advisors and other high-ranking officials, summoned several responsible persons.

This does not include Qiye; even if they ask Qiye, he will not go.

Nanaya wouldn't give face to anyone, and the Third Hokage was too lazy to make a fool of himself.

After inquiring about detailed data on payload, flight speed, and other aspects, I discussed it with several senior executives.

A new order was then issued.

"Produce at full capacity, the more the better."

To this end, a large number of logistics personnel were mobilized to help, and Konoha's war machine was running at full speed.

……

To be honest, Nanaya doesn't really care what happens to Konoha.

He knew that Konoha would not be defeated, and his daily life would not be disrupted.

That's enough to know.

As for how the war is progressing, and how many people have died on the front lines...

Anyway, they're not Qiye's family, nor are they Qiye's compatriots.

He's not from this world.

Before transmigrating, he had been hunted down for several years and had become accustomed to life and death, and war always involves death.

Therefore, after the airship was built, Nanaya continued to hide in the shrine, indulging in a life of debauchery.

The new release date arrived, and Shichiya piled stacks of doujinshi at the shrine entrance according to their connections.

The new notebooks, still smelling of ink, quickly attracted ninjas, civilians, and others who would take one, throw money into donation boxes or similar places, and then leave.

Everything was orderly and orderly, without any fighting or grabbing.

There are far fewer people. Before, they would sell out in no time, but now it's sporadic. After a whole morning, there are still more than half left.

This made Qiye understand.

"Looks like the war isn't unrelated to me after all; it's affecting my business!"

Standing at the entrance of the shrine, looking at the unsold notebooks piled on the ground, Nanaya bit his nails and fell into deep thought.

We should definitely sign a contract with the Third Hokage, designating the doujinshi as military supplies, and sell them to ninja units to be sent to the front lines.

Or perhaps expand the sales reach and sell directly in busy city centers? Or even sell to other cities and other countries?

That seems like a good idea.

Qi Ye didn't want to make money; he just thought it was fun. In reality, he was already financially secure.

However, thinking about it, it seemed quite troublesome, so Shichiya simply gave up on the idea.

"Whatever, let's go back to sleep."

After saying that, he ran back to drink tea and eat snacks.

However, the lack of entertainment options made Qi Ye wonder if they should get a television.

But even though it was put together, there weren't any shows...

Or perhaps we could sell some filming equipment to others to film?

This way, not only TV programs, but also movies can be made.

Yes, it seems there were movies in this world, even though we can't see them now.

But more than a decade later, it seems there are quite a few movie theaters, and it seems to involve something like the princess of the Snow Kingdom.

By the way, where is the Land of Snow?

Qi Ye frowned and casually pressed a button.

Soon, a map was delivered to him; it was a map of the ninja world.

The map is not accurate; it only shows the approximate shape. The surveying methods in this world are still very primitive. It is considered good if a country's territory can be roughly shaped. There are even many small countries that are not marked on the map.

In reality, the ninja world was once unified, but later evolved into the Warring States period, with large and small vassal states fighting each other, just like the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods before the time travel.
