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

Yes, bicycle.

This thing is relatively easy to make and doesn't require much technical skill. With a little practice, almost anyone can use it, and the market for it is also quite large.

So he hit it off with a family that was in business, and Qiye invested his technology as shares, sitting at home waiting for dividends.

Of course, there are other things as well, which are mostly inconspicuous but can generate a steady stream of revenue.

After having money, you need a place to live.

But Qiye wasn't used to living with others and didn't like it; he was used to being alone.

So, with a wave of his hand, he bought a small hillside in a secluded corner, built a shrine, and from then on, devoted himself to Buddhism and the rest of his life. The End...

Pooh.

Perhaps Qiye thought that this kind of daily life would continue forever, but in fact, everything was just beginning.

Chapter Two: Revised Version

It was raining that day, not too much, not too little.

Dark clouds gathered in the sky, the low-lying clouds creating a sense of oppression.

Like the shadow of war, it's unclear when it will dissipate.

The war has been going on for a long time, many people have died, but there is still no sign of victory, and no one knows when it will end.

In order to maintain its status as the number one ninja village, to achieve victory, and to gain greater benefits, the Konoha leadership tried every means to support the front lines.

Even children under ten years old were sent to the battlefield.

For example, someone named Kakashi.

This war is closely related to everyone in Konoha.

Except for the seven nights.

Nanaya didn't care about those things at all, and didn't even know how far the war had progressed, let alone whether the situation was favorable or unfavorable to Konoha.

In any case, Konoha will ultimately win.

Qi Ye had no doubt about this, after all, everything about this world had already been told to many people in the world before he transmigrated, in the form of comics and animation.

Although in this world, no one else besides Qiye knows those things.

Anyway, I'll just take it easy and get by.

The people fighting desperately on the battlefield are his family, not his friends, so why bother?

"Aha..."

After waking up from a nap, I opened my right eye with its red pupil, opened the door to the shrine hall, breathed in the fresh air carrying the fragrance of rain, soil, and grass, stretched, and yawned.

"Just another ordinary day!"

He then sat down, grabbed some snacks, brewed some hot tea, and enjoyed the tranquility of the afternoon.

At this moment, Qi Ye felt that he resembled a certain priestess.

It's quite a coincidence that even the names of the shrines are similar; the other one is called Hakurei Shrine, and Nanaya's is called Ruri...

Pooh.

It's called Silent Moon...

bah bah.

It's called the Welfare Shrine.

However, despite the name "welfare," in reality...

There are indeed benefits.

Occasionally, Qi Ye would get the urge to buy paper and pens and draw comic strips.

Then it was discovered by a creature called Jiraiya, who was immediately amazed and shamelessly took a lot of it.

Eventually, for some reason, it was leaked, and all sorts of people came to me, asking to buy it.

Yes, it's obvious that those people used transformation magic. We don't know who their real identities are, but they're probably people who are embarrassed to be seen by others.

Or perhaps an old man? Or even a child?

Who knows?

If there's money to be made, Qi Ye will accept any offer.

Selling a batch each month provides enough for living expenses.

"So, anyone who becomes a ninja or Hokage is a fool; everyday life is the only true path!"

Qi Ye lay comfortably on the table, her eyes half-closed, seemingly preparing to go back to sleep.

The main gate of the shrine.

An old man walked over, and the writing on his back clearly identified him.

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

He held a pipe in his mouth and looked up at the sign hanging high up: Welfare Shrine.

His eyes flickered for a moment, then he walked straight over.

Putting aside the perks for now, I'm here on serious business.

He walked to the front door, raised his hand, and knocked a few times.

Actually, the door wasn't locked; knocking was just to let Nana know that a guest had arrived.

Then he opened the door and went inside.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Nanaya's shrine was also built in the Japanese style.

After changing into slippers, I walked down the hallway, opened the living room door, and immediately saw Nana lying on the table.

Two robotic arms, one on the left and one on the right, one responsible for feeding snacks and the other for serving tea and water, which they also brought to Qiye's mouth.

Although it wasn't the first time he'd seen it, the Third Hokage still wanted to complain.

That guy, Nanaya...

It's definitely ruined.

However, Qi Ye sat up straight and pressed a button on the side of the table, and the two mechanical arms retracted under the table.

Looking at the Third Hokage who had walked in, Shichiya opened his left eye with a look of confusion.

"Isn't this the Hokage? What a rare guest! It seems you've never been here before. What brings you here? Are you here to offer prayers for someone? Or perhaps you're looking for some perks?"

To be precise, it has never been here in its original form.

However, this point cannot be said.

On the surface, one still has to act like a virtuous person.

"Cough..."

He coughed twice, walked over to the table, and sat down in front of Qiye.

He held the pipe in his mouth in one hand and exhaled a smoke ring with a "whoosh".

Then he spoke.

"Old man, I've come to see you this time because I have something important to discuss."

"Is this serious business?"

Nanaya expressed surprise at this.

"You still have something important to say... ptooey, you still have something important to say to me? Do you want to order doujinshi as a perk for the ninjas fighting on the front lines?"

If that's the case, then it really could be considered a serious matter.

But notebooks are something like that...

It can't really be considered a strategic reserve material.

But after hearing what he said...

"Can you still make custom orders?"

The Third Hokage opened his eyes wide.

If that's the case, then I request that you draw a fanfic featuring yourself as the male protagonist...

Pshaw, this isn't the time to talk about that.

The Third Hokage took a few puffs of his cigarette to calm himself down.

Then he opened his mouth.

"Well, those things aren't important... Speaking of which, Shichiya, you've been in Konoha for over ten years now, haven't you?"

"Hmm, it seems like... it's been fourteen years."

Qi Ye nodded and took a sip of the hot tea on the table.

When I came into this world, my body was about two years old. Now I'm sixteen or seventeen, so saying it's fourteen years old wouldn't be a problem.

"But why are you asking this?"

"Fourteen years... what do you think of Konoha?"

"So-so."

"It's alright..."

The Third Hokage seemed dissatisfied with the answer, his face expressionless as he silently smoked.

Qi Ye didn't bother with him. Other people's troubles weren't his troubles, so why should he care?

So he continued to leisurely sip his tea and eat snacks.

There was a long silence.

Ultimately, it was the Third Hokage who lost patience first. With the situation on the front lines deteriorating, he didn't have much time left to wait.
