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

Nanaya was not happy when she found out this. After all, she was wearing a "yukata" and could not be just a background figure.

Okay, yukatas and haoris aren't important either.

The important thing is that as his disciple, as his disciple of Qiye, being a background figure, where does that leave his face?

Therefore, Qiye's training is no longer a spur-of-the-moment thing, but a decision to train him properly.

As the eldest disciple of the Seven Nights School, he should leave a significant mark on the history of the ninja world.

Although Shichiya himself didn't know what Shichiya Ryu was.

A style of play that focuses on being lazy and living an ordinary life?

It doesn't matter.

Nanaya is not a ninja, but he has done specialized research on ninjas.

Especially for Sage Mode.

What is Sage Mode?

To put it simply, it's a combination of natural energy and chakra.

Natural energy exists widely in nature; it is virtually everywhere, except in a few special places.

Chakra is also quite special.

One theory is that it is a combination of physical and spiritual energy, while another is that it was obtained from the fruit of the Divine Tree. The progenitor of chakra is Kaguya Otsutsuki, who was first seen as a goddess by the world and then became seen as a demon.

Its origins are unknown, and it was born with white eyes.

She was the first being to possess chakra, and after giving birth to two children, her chakra was dispersed.

In the end, he turned against his two children and was sealed away by his son.

One of them is the Six Paths Immortal, who is praised and celebrated by the world.

When the Sage of Six Paths traveled the world and helped others, he began to distribute his chakra to those in need.

Gradually, it evolved into what it is today.

The exact number of nights is unknown; this is the official statement.

He had no intention of studying how chakra is generated; it was like studying how natural energy is generated—a thankless and arduous task.

Back when he was still in Konoha, Shichiya did a lot of research, but he didn't conduct any actual experiments.

Later, upon arriving in the Land of Snow, they conducted an in-depth study because they had to strengthen the Land of Snow's defense capabilities.

Honglian was one of the people who cooperated in the experiment.

After dozens of improvements, Shichiya developed a method to quickly refine chakra and increase a person's chakra reserves.

Simply put, the human body has unlimited potential.

What Nanaya needs to do is to unleash this potential.

In conjunction with meridian theory, medicine, and other related fields, this purpose is mainly achieved through medication and acupuncture in traditional Chinese medicine.

Because Shichiya is an ability user, his research at the research institute was not just a simple scientific experiment, but also incorporated theological aspects.

Therefore, what Qiye knows is not only science, but also a lot of miscellaneous knowledge.

The most important thing is Taoist teachings. There were several Taoists in the research institute at the time, including a female Taoist priest who was responsible for Qi Ye's daily life, so Qi Ye was greatly influenced by them.

Perhaps it is because of this influence of "quiet and inaction" that I have become so lazy and indifferent to national affairs.

But that's all in the past, so there's no need to dwell on it.

Sunagakure is also a major ninja village, but it is more famous for its puppetry techniques and its poisons.

The ninjas of Sunagakure cultivated many herbs, including poisons and medicinal materials for treating illnesses and injuries.

Seven Nights sneaked into their planting base and found a lot of the medicinal herbs they needed.

Then they began to explore the potential of the yukata, and Hinata Hanabi was included as well.

Hinata Hanabi is a genius.

Perhaps there are many geniuses in the Hyuga family. Her cousin, Hyuga Neji, is one, and her sister, Hyuga Hinata, is also one, but due to her personality, she cannot fully realize her potential.

For these bloodline families, the way to assess a genius has always been very direct: whoever awakens their talent first is considered a genius.

Of course, afterwards, we also looked at various learning speeds, combat awareness, and so on.

Hyuga Hanabi was still young; even back in Konoha, she had only just begun receiving instruction and had not yet undergone rigorous training.

Starting formal training too early can affect development.

However, Hinata Hanabi can already use her Byakugan.

That's why Qi Ye called her a genius.

In terms of qualifications, she is undoubtedly far ahead of Yukata.

Although Shichiya wasn't a professional ninja, he felt that with Hyuga Hanabi's talent, if he trained her for another ten or eight years, she would probably be no worse than the Five Kage, easily becoming an elite Jonin and one of the candidates for Kage.

He might even become a legendary figure like the First Hokage in his lifetime.

Or perhaps, one could be like the Sage of Six Paths?

This is also possible.

In the ninja world, Sage Mode is very powerful. The First Hokage knew Sage Mode, Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin, also knew Sage Mode, and the future Seventh Hokage, Naruto Uzumaki, also knew it.

These are all individuals capable of making a name for themselves in the ninja world.

So, what would happen if the user of the Byakugan also learned Sage Mode?

"Worth studying!"

That's what Nanaya thought.

In the eyes of scientists, everything in the world is divided into two categories: those that have research value and those that have no research value.

Those things that are worth studying will naturally be studied.

Not only Hinata Hanabi, but even her yukata is like this.

Qi Ye himself is a user of natural energy, and in this world, probably no one understands natural energy better than him.

Combining natural energy and chakra is not difficult for Nanaya.

The only difficulty is how to get the two little girls to learn.

"It seems I won't be able to leave Sunagakure for a while... Clan Chief Hiashi Hyuga, it seems impossible to go back after a few days of fun. But don't worry, I will bring your grandson back to see you in ten years."

Nanaya muttered a few words in the direction of Konoha, then continued with his own business.

But then I suddenly realized that something seemed off.

Ten years later, I'll take my grandson back...

It seems that even ten years later, Hinata Hanabi will only be thirteen or fourteen years old. Shouldn't we reduce... or increase the age by a few years?

Chapter 55: Questions

Time passes day by day, and people grow up or grow old day by day.

Under Nanaya's care, Yukata's life improved a lot, although she herself didn't seem to realize it.

She might actually be a little slow-witted.

However, she had never told anyone about Qi Ye's existence; Qi Ye had instructed her not to reveal it.

Although she didn't quite understand, she didn't even tell her best friend, Matsuri, this secret.

If Shichiya himself doesn't expose himself, no one in Sunagakure will be able to find him.

They settled down in Sunagakure without any pretense of decency.

Sunagakure is indeed incomparable to Konoha; it is far less prosperous than Konoha.

Moreover, they lived a very frugal life.

This may be due to budget constraints, coupled with a limited number of assigned tasks.

Konoha probably has the most commissioned tasks.

First, Konoha won the Fourth Shinobi World War, although it wasn't an easy victory.

However, most people are unaware of these inside stories. They simply think that Konoha won, and that Konoha was the strongest since they were able to defeat several opponents. Therefore, they believe that Konoha is the best choice for any requests or commissions.

Especially for merchants and the like, Konoha's finances are far less dependent on the daimyo than Sunagakure's.

Therefore, Konoha has more autonomy, while Sunagakure is subject to constraints at every turn.

The Third Shinobi World War ended in defeat, and the Daimyo cut military spending, forcing Sunagakure to abandon training the vast majority of its people and instead focus on an elite system.

What about those who are abandoned?

Although they are still attending classes at the ninja academy, and although there are still some teachers giving them lessons.

But that's the difference between being raised by your biological mother and being raised by a stepmother.

She wore a yukata, the latter type, and was not given much attention, perhaps because she performed only moderately in all aspects.

On the contrary, her good friend, Matsuri, was a talent that was being groomed and nurtured.

At first, she didn't think anything of it.

Moreover, Qiye would buy her lots of delicious food, cook meals, and buy her pretty clothes.

Sometimes, when she has too many snacks, she shares some with her best friends, or even brings them to the ninja academy to share with everyone.

Over time, she suddenly noticed that many people looked at her with envy and were rather reserved when talking to her.

Why is this happening?

She couldn't quite understand it.

There are plenty of people who can wear nice clothes and eat lots of snacks, so what's there to envy?

Later she realized that those who envied her were people who didn't have parents.

Yes, just like her, they are people without parents.
