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

However, Kakashi didn't feel well.

I thought I was going to relax and unwind on the high seas.

It was okay at first, but after a while, it really didn't feel that great.

"It's definitely better to finish the task as soon as possible!"

That's what he was thinking.

We've already searched most of the small island nations in the ocean; all that's left is the Land of Snow.

Before I knew it, I had been out for quite some time.

We are about to enter the fiftieth year of Konoha.

"Perhaps I should go back and report before that."

Although they had been away for a long time and had kept in touch through letters, at this point, it was still time for him to return and personally report to the Third Hokage.

"Alright, let's go back and look for it again after the New Year."

Kakashi made a decision.

Moreover, there might be something else that needs help from home. It's said that the war with Kumogakure is still ongoing, and the situation with Iwagakure hasn't been completely resolved yet.

"If that guy were still around, I wonder if he would have any ideas."

Kakashi thought of Nanaya again.

Nanaya made two moves; the first caused Sunagakure to retreat, and the second caused Iwagakure to suffer heavy losses.

If Nanaya could deal with Kumogakure, the war might end soon.

Of course, most importantly, only with Nanaya can there be new doujinshi to read!

Chapter Thirty-Nine: Space

Leaf.

The Hokage Building, office.

Kakashi has returned and reported on the progress of his work.

It's a long, rambling story, but it can all be summed up in one sentence.

"We haven't found Shichiya yet."

"I see."

The Third Hokage sat at his desk, smoking, and after listening to the report, he simply nodded and remained silent.

a long time.

Seemingly having made up his mind, he finally looked up at Kakashi.

"You've worked hard. Take a rest at home for a while, then go to the Land of Snow to search again. If you really can't find him, then this mission ends here. Go to the front line to help with the battle against Kumogakure. If you find him, try to persuade him to come back. If that doesn't work... then don't worry about him for now, and go to the front line to help again."

"learn!"

……

Time flies, and fifty years have passed in Konoha.

Qi Ye left in 1949, which is more than half a year ago.

The shrine is still there, but the doujinshi that used to be updated every month is no longer there.

The believers have not been illuminated by the glory of the shrine for a long time.

Even the people of the entire ninja continent gradually forgot about the original shrine and the original doujinshi.

I've also forgotten the excitement and...excitement I felt when I was dominated by the shrine's doujinshi.

Few people mention Qi Ye anymore; it's as if he never existed.

But Qiye is still closely related to their lives.

Whether it's the bicycles that are now ubiquitous in the Land of Fire, the well-developed power grid in Konoha, or some practical household appliances, they are all related to Nanaya.

The war with the Hidden Cloud Village continues, devolving into a protracted war of attrition, with people dying every day.

This battle also made the atmosphere in Konoha heavy.

The shadow of war has not yet dissipated.

However, this has nothing to do with the Land of Snow.

For so many years since its founding, the Snow Country has basically never been ravaged by war.

The main problem is that Yukigami Village doesn't have many ninjas; if they were to be sent out, there wouldn't be enough to fill a gap in their teeth.

Furthermore, the current daimyo, Kazahana Hayayuki, is also a pacifist... I mean, a pacifist, who has never even considered waging war to seize resources for survival.

The Snow Country has only one source of resources: doing business with the outside world.

Frankly, this has made some ambitious people very unhappy.

Moreover, this dissatisfaction is growing daily.

Qi Ye didn't know who was the ambitious one and who wasn't; he only knew that life in the Snow Country was actually quite good.

Aside from the fact that it's snowing everywhere, it's pretty good.

There was no war, and no one bothered him.

The only one who comes regularly is Feng Hua Xiao Xue.

The main reason is that there are fun things to do here at Qiye, and there are plenty of snacks of all kinds.

In this country where even food is scarce, snacks are rare, even for a princess, because her father is too focused on the traditional concepts of benevolence and righteousness.

Qi Ye doesn't like dealing with cunning people, but Feng Hua Xiao Xue is obviously not cunning at all.

Therefore, Qiye is still willing to interact with a young girl.

And he likes to hug her all the time, as if he really treats her as a pillow.

Today is no different from any other day.

Under the eaves, Qi Ye held Feng Hua Xiao Xue in his arms, and together they watched the snowflakes falling outside.

It snowed again today.

"By the way, Brother Qiye."

Feng Hua Xiaoxue seemed to suddenly remember something and put down the camera she was using to film the snow scene.

"We have a guest at home today, who came from the Land of Fire."

"Guests from the Land of Fire?"

"Yes, they said they came from Konoha Village and were looking for you, Brother Shichiya. I think their name is... Kakashi."

"Oh, Kakashi, I know."

Qi Ye nodded.

She let go of Feng Hua Xiaoxue, lay back down, and lay directly on the ground with her hands under her head.

Kakashi and he were quite familiar with each other.

Of course, most importantly, Kakashi is also a staunch shrine follower.

So Kakashi is... probably harmless.

Hmm, I guess giving him a few new notebooks will be enough to get rid of him.

Therefore, Shichiya didn't care much.

"Let him come if he wants, ignore him."

"Oh."

Feng Hua Xiao Xue was still sitting on Qi Ye's body.

But that location...

Something seems a little off.

Fortunately, nothing embarrassing happened.

Besides, she's not even ten years old, she wouldn't understand.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have run into Qi Ye's arms so easily.

We didn't continue the conversation; we simply enjoyed the peaceful life.

Influenced by Shichiya, it seems that Fuuka Koyuki has also come to like this kind of life.

……

Just when you think life will continue peacefully, that peace is often quickly shattered.

Yes, this is a flag.

Often, if you don't act recklessly, you'll suffer the consequences.

……

night.

The Land of Snow, the Welfare Shrine.

Kakashi arrived here.

Qi Ye did not avoid him, nor did he run away. Instead, he brewed hot tea and waited for him.

Seeing the boy who always kept his right eye closed again, Kakashi was quite moved.

"Life would be so much less fun without your notebook!"

"So you've come to take me back?"

"After all, no one but you can draw such wonderful manuscripts."

More importantly, only the Seven Nights are in full color.
