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

The ninjas following the airship were speechless at the sight, perhaps even wanting to complain in their hearts.

That guy, Nanaya...

Perhaps even on the street, they are the kind of people who can lie down whenever they want, without considering the time, place, or environment.

Seven Nights is too lazy.

Although they hadn't worked with Qiye for long, they had already gained a deep understanding of this.

He always orders his subordinates to do things, and he's too lazy to even walk. If there's no specific need, he could just lie down anywhere and stay there all day.

No, I should say they could stay there for a lifetime.

Moreover, they neglect their duties and will never get involved in anything unless absolutely necessary.

For example, right now, all matters, big and small, of the massive air fleet are managed and commanded by his deputy, Nara Shikaku; otherwise, things would probably be in complete chaos.

Therefore, these ninjas could only secretly complain about Nanaya.

Even Nara Shikaku wanted to complain, but he held back because he wasn't familiar with Nanaya.

But this time, he really wanted to say a few words.

"Lord Qiye, if you need to rest, could you please go back to your room?"

Although many other functions were sacrificed to increase carrying capacity, it is still equipped with some rooms, which were originally mainly provided for female ninjas and female staff to rest, while the men could just find a place to lie down and rest.

Unlike others, Shichiya has her own private room.

They are considered a privileged class, so such treatment is nothing unusual.

Hearing Nara Shikaku's words, Nanaya showed no intention of paying any attention.

"Oh, then drag me back."

"..."

How should I put it...

Anyway, Nara Shikaku wisely changed the subject.

"Lord Shichiya, according to the latest news, our army and the Sand Village ninjas are engaged in battle in the vicinity of Mount Kikyo, and the battle is currently raging."

"Oh, who's the attacker and who's the receiver... Pshaw, who's the attacker and who's the defender?"

"Sunagakure has a numerical advantage, so they are on the offensive."

"I see..."

Qi Ye started biting her nails, her left eye open, listlessly watching the white clouds drifting across the sky.

Nara Shikaku looked at Nanaya, who was still lying on the ground, and felt helpless.

He was originally on the front lines, but the Third Hokage called him back and appointed him as the vice-captain of the so-called Strategic Support Force, assisting Nanaya.

As a loyal member of the Hokage faction, he was puzzled by the appointment of the Third Hokage, but he didn't waste any words and took office immediately.

But now, he really regrets it, because Qiye is too unreliable.

He has absolutely no sense of tension about going to the battlefield, and he doesn't like to get involved in things. Since the establishment of the Strategic Support Force, he has basically been the one doing everything.

He originally thought that Shichiya was worried that he was not experienced enough and was not a ninja, so he would not be able to win people's respect, which was why he asked him to take charge.

But after talking to Qiye once before, he realized he was wrong.

Qi Ye was simply too lazy to care; she didn't give it any extra consideration or make any extra plans.

This is the same person who became the head of a department, the captain of an elite unit, and even went to the battlefield.

If he hadn't known that the Third Hokage had personally invited him to come out of seclusion, and if he hadn't trusted the Third Hokage's judgment, he would have definitely kicked Qiye aside and taken charge himself, or he would have resigned.

Working under a boss like that makes me feel so insecure.

But since it's already out, there's no point in thinking about it anymore.

"What should we do? Should we contact the troops stationed at Kikyo Mountain?"

Since this concerns military operations, we should consult with Shichiya about such matters.

Although Nara Shikaku did not believe that someone who had never been on the battlefield or even received systematic training could give any correct advice.

However, he doesn't require things to be correct; he just wants Shichiya to avoid making mistakes.

Or you could leave the matter to him to arrange.

But Qiye didn't answer directly; he just asked a question.

"Is Orochimaru from Mount Kikyo?"

"Lord Orochimaru? Yes."

"Then let's not contact each other. Give the order to slow down. We just need to reach Kikyo Mountain tonight."

"This……"

Nara Shikaku hesitated upon hearing Shichiya's instructions.

They came out as reinforcements; if they weren't going to get to the battlefield as quickly as possible, how could they possibly slow down?

And why didn't they contact the ninja units at the front?

This seems inappropriate both morally and logically.

Therefore, we are prepared to oppose it.

But then he suddenly remembered that before he set off, the Third Hokage had spoken to him and told him to do as Nanaya instructed, and that he only needed to play a supporting role.

This means that everything is arranged by Qiye, and he only needs to ensure that Qiye's orders are fully carried out.

After hesitating for a while, I still didn't raise any objections.

"I understand."

He nodded, turned around and walked towards the airship's command room, where there were radio communication devices to contact other airships.

This was also created by Qiye. It greatly facilitated communication between various units and saved a lot of time.

However, they were not issued to frontline combat troops; they were only available on airships.

Nanaya ignored Nara Shikaku and didn't intend to explain his behavior further. He simply looked at the blue sky.

After a long while, he sighed again.

"I knew I shouldn't have come out!"

There was no entertainment on the airship, it was so boring.

Silence, for a long time.

Suddenly, he raised his hand and waved to a ninja who was admiring the scenery with his companion.

"You, come here."

"I am!"

Although Qiye didn't have much prestige, he was still a minister or captain, and he was also the one who built the airship, so he still came over when he heard Qiye's summons.

"Lord Qiye, what are your orders?"

"Come on, let's play rock-paper-scissors. If I win, you'll introduce your sister to me. If I lose, I'll make you the male lead in the next book."

"...Lord Shichiya, I have no younger sister."

"Then a daughter is fine too."

"..."

If the time, place, and people were different, Qiye would definitely be knocked unconscious and thrown off the airship.

Absolutely.

But the ninja didn't, he just gave a mocking laugh.

"I don't even have a younger sister, how could I possibly have a daughter?"

"that's true."

Qiye nodded in agreement.

But then I realized something was wrong.

How could I possibly have a daughter if I don't even have a younger sister...

There doesn't seem to be anything strange about it.

Is it just an illusion?

Chapter 19: Shinto Shrine, Obtaining a Doujinshi

The history of the ninja world is a history of war, and so is the history of humankind.

War has never been far from this world, nor has it ever disappeared from humankind.

Throughout history, there have been very few truly peaceful days in the world.

There has never been a time of peace in the ninja world.

Even outside of the Ninja World War, battles of all sizes occur regularly due to various missions and the like.

Some small countries also fought and annexed each other.

The Ninja World War was merely the largest battle in the world.

Once upon a time, the protagonists of war were ordinary people, the so-called samurai, until now it has become ninjas.

This is already the Third Shinobi World War.

Sunagakure and Konoha made the first move, with Sunagakure on the offensive and Konoha on the defensive.

Konoha has never had a dominant partner; he's practically a perpetual bottom.

The same is true on Mount Kikyo.

The Battle of Kikyo Mountain didn't just begin today; in fact, it started a long time ago, only gradually evolving from a small-scale conflict into a large-scale ninja war.

Although Sunagakure had a large and powerful army, it was unable to conquer Kikyo Mountain despite repeated attacks. Konoha had fewer people, but it was rich and had no shortage of food and drink. Various war supplies were also being continuously transported up from behind.
