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

Qi Ye's smile vanished instantly. He started coughing and quickly pressed a button to retract the two mechanical arms.

The Third Hokage watched the chaotic scene with a flickering gaze.

After a long while, once Qiye had finished tidying up, he finally spoke.

"Actually, you are quite capable, after all, you are able to make so many things."

"Don't praise me, I still won't go."

"You've been in Konoha for so long, have you learned the Will of Fire?"

"I learned the importance of everyday willpower; a peaceful and comfortable life is the true path."

"..."

So, are you even going to give me any face?

The Third Hokage chewed on his pipe with a somewhat annoyed expression; if he hadn't been reluctant to part with it, he probably would have already bitten it into pieces.

But thinking back to when we were still at the Ninja Academy, Shichiya once said something like, "I want to stay at home and live my daily life." So I knew that getting Shichiya to help with those things wouldn't be so easy.

So that's the only option?

The Third Hokage hesitated for a moment.

Some things are easy to say, but the consequences can be quite bad.

After thinking it over, it seemed that reasoning with him and appealing to his emotions wouldn't work, so I had to resort to bribery.

"There will be benefits if you go and help."

"I have no worries about food and drink now, the whole mountain is mine, so forget about any benefits."

Qi Ye continued to lie on the table, looking completely content.

But he quickly frowned again.

The Third Hokage is smoking here, and the smell of smoke almost fills the entire living room.

The Third Hokage seemed to have noticed this as well, but he had no intention of giving up his pipe.

After thinking for a moment, he spoke directly.

"I have no worries about food and drink, but it's clear that you're lacking a mistress here."

"……what?"

"If you'd like to help, I wouldn't mind playing matchmaker and introducing you to someone."

"Oh? One?"

Chapter Four: Revised Version

"If you really want, you can have a few more."

The Third Hokage didn't mind, since it wasn't a monogamous system here anyway. Although it was mostly monogamous in Konoha, it wasn't like that outside. If you really want to talk about it, which of those daimyo or nobles didn't keep several women?

Therefore, the Third Hokage did not mind.

Nanaya seemed somewhat interested in this.

"Really? Then I can have that person too?"

"Who is it?"

"Hinata Hyuga, I've heard... well, never mind, you wouldn't understand."

Before he could finish speaking, Qi Ye shook his head.

It's said that most transmigrators who travel to this world try to marry Hinata Hyuga, which shows how famous that girl is.

However, Qiye couldn't say whether he liked or disliked it; he was just joining in the fun and talking for fun.

But the Third Hokage frowned upon hearing the name.

"Hinata Hyuga... Is there such a girl in the Hyuga clan?"

I tried to recall carefully, but it seemed that I had no memory of this name at all.

That's normal. The girl hasn't even been created yet, so it would be a miracle if anyone knew.

Even if he knew, the Third Hokage wouldn't dare to make a guarantee.

"The Hyuga clan... as you know, bloodline clans mostly practice intra-clan marriage, with very few women marrying out, and you're not even a ninja."

To prevent the secrets of a family's bloodline limits from being revealed to the outside world, large bloodline clans generally practice endogamy.

In other words, they are all cases of consanguineous marriage.

This vivid fact illustrates...

Consanguineous marriage is not as terrible as the propaganda makes it out to be.

Not only were those people not fools, but they were also geniuses.

Sometimes, Shichiya would want to capture them and study them, but then he would think that would anger the public, so he decided against it.

"I know, it was just a casual remark, don't take it to heart."

Qi Ye waved his hand and yawned, saying he was exhausted after talking for so long.

Then I pressed the button next to the table; there were several buttons there.

Soon, the robotic arm brought out stationery such as paper and pens.

Qi Ye took out a pair of glasses from his white lab coat and put them on. He wore the white lab coat because he considered himself a scientist, but the glasses were just for show.

Then he waved his hand impatiently.

"Alright, alright, old man, hurry up and leave. Don't disturb my daily life. I still need to draw my sketchbook."

"That won't do."

The Third Hokage took a deep breath.

Now that we're here, we can't leave empty-handed.

But now that things have come to this, that's the only option left.

"Nanaya, do you know how you got into Konoha?"

"Ok?"

Nanaya squinted his open left eye and looked up at the Third Hokage.

What are you trying to say?

"If Jiraiya and the others hadn't brought you back, you probably wouldn't be alive today, so..."

"So you're planning to take advantage of my kindness?"

Although Shichiya didn't believe that he would die outside if the Sannin didn't bring him back, there are no "what ifs".

The truth is that the Sannin brought him back, and Konoha provided him with food, lodging, and even sent him to the Ninja Academy, although he soon left again.

In general, it is a fact that the Sannin and Konoha were kind to him.

But if you use something like that to blackmail him...

Do you think I'll give in just because you say that?

“I don’t think you will give in, but you are a smart man, and I think you should understand that if Konoha is defeated, the daily life you want to live will be gone.”

The Third Hokage remained expressionless, finishing his sentence word by word, and stared at Nanaya, awaiting his decision.

Qi Ye squinted and started biting her nails again, as was her habit.

This is thinking.

However, his eyes were fixed on the Third Hokage.

Neither side showed any intention of backing down.

a long time.

"Ha ha……"

Shichiya opened her left eye again, the red pupil reflecting the body of the Third Hokage.

This old man was so determined that he even asked someone who wasn't a ninja for help for the sake of Konoha.

No matter what, we still owe Konoha a debt of gratitude.

Although Shichiya knew perfectly well that Konoha wouldn't be defeated, the Third Hokage had already put it that way...

"Okay, I can help."

"Really?"

At this, the Third Hokage seemed to cheer up, beaming with joy.

If Seven Nights can really...

"Don't be so happy yet, I have conditions."

"You said."

"First, I want the greatest autonomy. You can't interfere with what I do. I also need to gather a certain number of people to help me, preferably ninjas, even those who are unable to go to the battlefield due to injuries or disabilities."

"Well... no problem, I agree."

"Secondly, you can provide the funding."

"Of course."

"Third, I've helped you win, so we're even now. Don't bother me with anything after this."

"it is good."

The Third Hokage nodded. These were not difficult tasks, and he could easily agree to them.

Is there anything else?

"Oh, about matchmaking..."

"We'll talk about that later. If there's nothing else, I'll head back and make preparations now. Goodbye."
