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

There was no one else in the Hokage's office besides the two of them.

There was silence at first, with the Third Hokage smoking a cigarette to himself.

After a long silence, he finally spoke.

"Kakashi, what do you think of Nanaya?"

To be honest, Kakashi is only twelve years old this year, even though he is already a Jonin.

But the fact that the Third Hokage discussed these things with a twelve-year-old boy can be seen as a sign of his high regard for Kakashi.

However, Kakashi at this time lacked political acumen and didn't quite understand why he asked that question.

If someone has doubts in their heart, they won't easily speak out.

After a moment's thought, I gave a somewhat conservative answer.

"Yeah, a very lazy person."

Qi Ye is very lazy; anyone who knows Qi Ye knows this. Qi Ye's laziness is notorious.

Giving such an answer is merely adequate and nothing special.

The Third Hokage smoked a cigarette but didn't say anything.

After a long while, he seemed to sigh, but it was barely perceptible.

"Now that Jonin Minato is not here, I think you know him quite well, so I want to ask you a question."

"Please speak."

"Could Minato's Flying Thunder God Technique be used to teleport a leaf into someone else's head?"

"Transmitted into the head?"

Kakashi was taken aback, wondering why the Third Hokage would ask such a question.

However, after thinking about it carefully for a while, I still shook my head.

"I don't know the specifics, but the teacher's Flying Thunder God Technique requires a spell positioning to move or teleport items. Without spell positioning, it's impossible."

Yes, the procedure.

This is a very important point in the Flying Thunder God Technique, which requires a specific technique to help with positioning.

This makes the Flying Thunder God Technique rather troublesome to use, and if someone discovers the location of the technique, they might be able to launch an ambush.

However, that would be difficult, since there can't be just one technique for localization.

Moreover, Minato Namikaze is very powerful; he can leave spell marks on any object, anywhere, at any time.

It can be done even on someone else.

Once a spell is cast on someone's body, it's practically the same as death.

But the prerequisite is that the technique can be preserved.

There is no doubt that Minato Namikaze's Flying Thunder God Technique is very powerful.

Furthermore, Minato Namikaze can also teleport objects he touches to locations with specific spell settings.

But it's impossible that he didn't vomit.

In other words, if Minato Namikaze could leave a spell mark on someone, he might be able to teleport a leaf into that person's head, but that's highly unlikely.

After all, even if the spell is left behind, it is impossible to accurately transmit a leaf into the brain, because the leaf is too small, and the spell is only imprinted on the surface of the body, not in the brain.

"Spell..."

The Third Hokage didn't ask any further questions, but instead silently smoked his cigarette.

The cause of death of several Hidden Rock Village members has been determined. There had been no discovery until their heads were cut open, where a perfectly intact leaf was found inside.

It's more normal for water to get into someone's head than for leaves to grow on it, so they easily determined the cause of death.

This was quickly reported to the Third Hokage.

There were no wounds on his body, but a leaf was stuck in his head...

Naturally, the Third Hokage thought of Minato Namikaze's Flying Thunder God Technique.

However, Minato Namikaze wasn't in Konoha at that time, and it seems that no one else knew how to use it.

Chapter Thirty-Three: Belonging

The technique is a crucial aspect of the Flying Thunder God Technique; without the technique, it is practically impossible to use the Flying Thunder God Technique.

However, Qiye's spatial abilities are different.

Seven Nights' spatial abilities can be located through his eyes and mental power, without needing any special techniques.

It can move to any place that the eyes can clearly see and that the mind can precisely scan.

This limits the distance that can be traveled, unlike the Flying Thunder God Technique, which allows you to move from Konoha to places like Sunagakure or Iwagakure without any problem, as long as you have the technique to locate it.

However, Shichiya estimates that there are certain limitations.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be possible to move from one side of the universe to the other?

I doubt even a god could do that.

However, Shichiya had no interest in studying the Flying Thunder God Technique. After all, his spatial abilities were far superior to the Flying Thunder God Technique.

The Flying Thunder God Technique is simply a movement technique, but Nanaya's ability is a real spatial ability.

Of course, if it weren't for the requirement of a specific technique, the Flying Thunder God Technique and Nanaya's spatial teleportation wouldn't be that different.

Instead, they all require contact with a person or object to be used.

In other words, you can teleport items you touch to other places, but you cannot teleport items from other places to your own hands.

Otherwise, Shichiya could easily transfer the leaves out of Iwagakure's head, and no one would notice.

The reason we don't relocate isn't because we don't want to, but because we can't.

Therefore, Shichiya was mentally prepared for the revelation of Iwagakure's cause of death.

However, this is not a big deal, because there is no evidence to prove that he did it.

Even if he had some suspicions, the Third Hokage wasn't the type to kill the innocent rather than let the guilty go free. Without clear evidence, he would simply pretend not to know.

The only thing that worried Nanaya was Danzo; the cause of Iwagakure's death couldn't be hidden from him.

That guy is different from the Third Hokage. If he becomes suspicious, he might send someone to attack Shichiya for safety reasons.

"If that's the case, then it's going to be troublesome."

Sitting in the shrine's reception room, he bit his nails and pondered with his head down.

One or two seven-night sessions are not a problem, but if it happens too often, it becomes quite troublesome.

If Danzo is forced to take action himself, things will become even more complicated.

Seven Nights secretly estimated that although his abilities were also very powerful, his left eye's fire ability and mental strength alone were probably not much different from an elite Jonin, which would be considered to be at the level of the Five Kage.

However, the ability to teleport is difficult to achieve effective results when the opponent is prepared and the strength is similar.

Although Danzo was a bit shady, he was still very strong. After all, he was a classmate of the Third Hokage and a student of the Second Hokage.

Whether we can win or not, our strength will be exposed.

Once exposed, their daily lives will be gone.

"Ah! I really shouldn't have agreed to get involved in this war just for the sake of book sales!"

Now, all that's left for Qiye to lament is to herself.

Fortunately, Danzo is still under the control of the Third Hokage, so he probably won't do anything reckless.

"Forget it, let's just take it one day at a time."

……

Perhaps it was because a large number of ninja units were freed from the Sand Village battlefield and were able to reinforce other fronts; or perhaps it was due to some kind of concern.

Anyway, after that incident, the Third Hokage basically never came to Nanaya to ask for his help again.

Danzo also made no move.

Perhaps the Third Hokage had warned him, or perhaps he still didn't believe that the deaths of Iwagakure were related to Shichiya.

Regardless, the fact that no one came was a good thing for Qiye.

This allows him to live his daily life without being disturbed by external factors.

In reality, Konoha is not entirely peaceful either.

Sunagakure has conceded defeat, and Iwagakure is in a stalemate, unable to engage in a full-blown battle for the time being. However, every day, numerous small squads are infiltrating behind the enemy's defensive lines to carry out sabotage.

With this relatively stable situation, the Third Hokage also began to busy himself with the matter of electing a successor.

Although he chose Minato Namikaze.

But it's not enough for him to make the choice alone; the vast majority of people must agree, and the daimyo of the Land of Fire must also give his approval for it to be legitimate.

They operate on the principle of majority rule.

Statistics have already begun to be collected among civilians and lower-ranking ninjas.

Under the secret instructions of the Third Hokage, Minato Namikaze was the one who received the most publicity.

Orochimaru is no weakling either; his reputation, earned since World War II, continues to this day, hence his high prestige.

Therefore, the most popular choices are Minato Namikaze and Orochimaru.

There were other nominations, of course, but none of them could compare to these two.

Therefore, there is no doubt that the Fourth Hokage was chosen from among these two.

They had both prestige and strength, and their battle achievements were not much different. One of them almost broke into the territory of the Land of Wind with the help of Shichiya, and the other suppressed Iwagakure to the point that it could not raise its head.

However, there is one difference.

Minato Namikaze had the support of his master, but Orochimaru did not.

His master went to support Minato Namikaze.
