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

"Brother Qiye, Father... Father was killed by them, waaaaah..."

The little girl choked up and cried, as if Qi Ye was her only support after her father's death.

Perhaps in her eyes, Qiye was indeed her last resort.

Anyway, Qiye had never met her mother, nor had she ever heard of her, so she probably had already passed away.

Her uncle killed her father and is now hunting her down.

Of course, the reason why Feng Hua Nu Tao wanted to hunt her down was not simply to kill her, but because he wanted what was on her.

A hexagonal crystal, the key to unlocking the so-called treasure.

As for that treasure...

It's just a device that aims to use geothermal energy to melt the ice and snow in the Land of Snow, although it might indeed be considered a treasure.

Ran and egg.

Nana no Shichiya believed that geothermal energy could melt all the ice and snow in the Land of Snow; there was no such thing as a free lunch.

Ultimately, it's because of its unique geographical location and climate that the Snow Country has been shrouded in ice and snow for thousands of years.

"It's okay, don't worry."

Qi Ye patted her little head and tidied her slightly messy hair.

Kakashi plopped down, a little out of breath.

In the distance, more than a dozen ninjas were rushing towards them.

"Be careful, their armor is a bit strange."

Kakashi spoke up to remind him.

With a formidable enemy at hand, Shichiya remained completely unconcerned, so there was no need to inquire whether Shichiya possessed any special abilities.

Those without real strength would probably have turned and run away by now.

Otherwise, they might be plotting to send Feng Hua Xiaoxue away in exchange for their lives, but that's clearly not the case.

"So what if it's weird?"

Qi Ye really didn't care much.

No matter how strange those armors are, they were developed specifically for ninjas.

Ordinary ninjas use chakra.

But what did Nanaya use?

Natural energy.

Natural energy and chakra are different.

Nanaya is not a ninja, but a user of special abilities.

With his right hand, he gently embraced Feng Hua Xiao Xue, while extending his left hand, palm facing up.

A glint of light seemed to flash in his red left eye, while a ball of fire erupted from his left palm.

This is the power of the flames belonging to Nanaya.

Chapter 41: Perhaps

"Is this all you're capable of?"

Kakashi adjusted his headband and examined it carefully.

It was less like a flame and more like a bead, a bead the size of an eyeball, encased in flames.

"What kind of move is this?"

Kakashi didn't quite understand.

But Shichiya didn't offer any explanation. Only an idiot would tell the characteristics of his skills to a second person besides himself.

However, he still revealed the name of the move.

"This is called a thermobaric bomb."

Of course, it wasn't actually a thermobaric bomb.

It's just that Qiye was too lazy to come up with a name, so he borrowed this name.

The effect is similar: the shockwave and violent vibration generated by the explosion kill the enemy, while the flames that erupt at the same time burn up the air, mainly oxygen, within a certain range, creating an oxygen-deprived zone.

In other words, even if they weren't killed directly by the explosion, they would be killed by the powerful shockwave, or even die from lack of oxygen.

However, lack of oxygen is nothing to ninjas or ability users, so the most important means of killing this move are still the first two.

For Nanaya, using this move is actually quite simple.

Open your right eye; spatial abilities are activated.

Kakashi saw it too; he saw the white right eye.

Is that a white eye?

This was the first thought that flashed through his mind.

But he immediately rejected the idea.

That's different from the white eye; it has a more transparent feel to it.

"Humph!"

Qi Ye curled the corners of his lips into a seemingly disdainful sneer.

His gaze sharpened, and the flame bead in his left hand vanished.

Spatial movement.

Of course, in Kakashi's view, that was another version of the Flying Thunder God Technique.

A version that allows moving items without requiring spell positioning.

Kakashi instinctively turned his head to look at the Snow Village ninja rushing towards them. Almost simultaneously, he saw it clearly.

Among the dozen or so ninjas, the one in the middle suddenly exploded, unleashing a dazzling burst of light that instantly enveloped all the Snow Village ninjas.

It's even spreading, ten meters, twenty meters...

The explosion had a diameter of over fifty meters, engulfing everything in flames. The Snow Village ninjas didn't even have time to react before being swallowed up by the scorching flames.

"Boom!"

The sound of the explosion then reached us, seemingly to prove that the speed of light is faster than the speed of sound.

Despite the distance of over a thousand meters, the sound that reached this side was still deafening.

Like an avalanche, the snow on the ground was swept up by an invisible force and rushed over.

Kakashi was ready, sitting on the roof, his body hunched over.

Qi Ye made no move, but in fact he had used the omnipresent natural energy around him to form an energy shield in front of him.

This is the difference between a Devil Fruit user and a ninja; a ninja's chakra cannot do this.

Even Naruto Uzumaki, who later learned Sage Mode, only superficially used the surrounding natural energy to create so-called invisible attacks.

Because natural energy is difficult to control, only those with abilities like Shichiya can use it freely.

"Whoosh..."

Even from a distance of over a thousand meters, the wind blowing here is still fierce, easily sweeping away the snow accumulated on the roof.

Feng Hua Xiaoxue seemed to only then realize what was happening, stopped crying, and hid in Qi Ye's arms in fear.

But to her surprise, she found that the wind didn't blow on her at all, so she was relieved.

Kakashi, on the other hand, was blown around and looked rather disheveled, with a lot of snow blowing into his clothes. He must have been freezing.

After a while, the storm subsided.

Upon closer inspection, a large open space appeared in front of them, and the white ground that had been visible before was now completely gone.

Perhaps the earth's color has already been revealed there, but because it's night, it's not clear.

The dozen or so ninjas who had charged forward were now completely gone, not even a trace remained.

"hiss……"

Kakashi gasped, feeling a bit of a headache coming on.

That was a ruthless move.

Rather, the flames were so powerful that they could easily vaporize a person.

Even the armor might have been evaporated.

only……

Why are you making such a big fuss?

Kakashi rolled his eyes.

If he had the ability to teleport, Shichiya wouldn't have needed to make such a fuss.

But Shichiya just shrugged.

"Why would they come over if we didn't make such a commotion?"

The bigger the commotion, the faster the enemy will arrive, including Feng Hua Nu Tao and his group.

Moreover, it can attract all of them to the maximum extent possible.

In this way, we can solve the problem of them all here once and for all.

He gently patted Feng Hua Xiaoxue's head and made her sit to one side.

The little girl still seemed scared, clinging tightly to his right arm.

Qi Ye just smiled.

Then he looked towards Daming Prefecture.
