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

However, Qiye didn't remember many of them.

Instead, he stared at Asuma for a while, and then at the Third Hokage for a while.

At this time, the Third Hokage was not as old as he was at the beginning of the story, after all, there was still a difference of more than ten years.

So upon closer inspection, they do indeed look somewhat alike.

So he raised his hand and patted the Third Hokage on the shoulder.

"No problem, they're definitely my biological children."

"..."

For a moment, the Third Hokage didn't know what to say.

The little ninjas surrounding them didn't seem to understand either.

Perhaps there's a generation gap between them and Qiye?

Qi Ye didn't care what they were thinking.

"In short, there's no need for introductions. I can't remember faces; I'll forget what I see today by tomorrow. Just tell me what you need me to do."

"Okay, come with me to the back first."

"The back? You mean, the kind of place where delinquents call someone to the restroom or behind the school building?"

"...No, there's another open space behind it."

"Oh."

Qi Ye nodded, but did not continue speaking.

The Third Hokage was also happy to relax.

The main problem is that sometimes, I simply don't understand what Nanaya is saying.

Is it really because I'm getting older and there's a generation gap with the younger generation? Should I consider retiring?

The Third Hokage pondered for a moment.

He then shook his head.

Even if I were to retire, it would have to wait until the fighting on the front lines was resolved.

However, we really should consider the matter of a successor.

The two, each with their own ulterior motives... each with their own thoughts, walked through the factory-like building to the back.

Once outside, I discovered that there was indeed a fairly large open space over there.

There were some things piled up on the open ground.

It mainly consists of bicycles.

Of course, unlike single or double bicycles, it was a tricycle with a cargo bed.

There are standard-sized ones, as well as ones with a standard-sized cab but an ridiculously large cargo bed in the back, and ones that are larger in size overall.

Especially that one piled up at the edge of the forest, that size...

Chapter Six: Revised Version

"Is that the car prepared for the Akimichi family?"

Qi Ye couldn't help but complain.

He had no idea what those researchers in Konoha were trying to do, making a perfectly good tricycle so big...

That must be taller than a two-story house, right? And the truck bed is so long and wide...

Is the road that wide?

The Third Hokage seemed to be in an awkward position, since most of these were just failures, while some were acceptable for civilian use. However, it seems that the civilian tricycles are also being prepared for launch by the family store that collaborated with Shichiya.

So, to sum it up: it's all for naught.

"Ahem... In short, these are the results of research, so we need your help."

"Oh, so all you need to do is build a vehicle?"

"of course not."

The Third Hokage shook his head. Right now, he wished he could split himself in two and use him as two people, so of course he wouldn't let Shichiya have it so easy.

With Qi Ye looking completely calm and collected, he could guess that Qi Ye would be able to easily assemble the transportation vehicle and the like.

If we only let him study this, it might not be long before Shichiya runs back to hiding in the shrine.

Therefore, we need to give Qiye more work.

"Besides transportation, we should try to find a way to speed up the production of weapons like kunai and shuriken, as well as explosive tags. Currently, the production rate can't keep up with the consumption rate, and if we could produce more, we could also..."

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Before the Third Hokage could finish speaking, Shichiya interrupted him.

Even if we can make kunai shuriken, mass production would be no problem at all if we could manufacture some equipment.

But what the heck is an explosive tag?

"I'm not a ninja, how could I possibly make explosive tags?"

“You should take a look…”

"I want to cut you open and see if your heart is black."

Qi Ye pouted.

If we really want to do these things, it won't be a matter of just one or two days.

Just kidding, he wants to go back to the shrine as soon as possible and doesn't want to waste time and energy here.

"Alright, alright, I understand your request. If there's nothing else, you should leave now. I need to think about it carefully."

"Then I'll wait for your good news."

The Third Hokage patted Shichiya on the shoulder, turned around, and left.

Looking at the pile of failed attempts, Qi Ye started biting his nails again.

A short while later, seemingly because the Third Hokage had left, several ninjas ran over, along with a few middle-aged men and women who appeared to be in charge.

Upon discovering that Qiye was biting his nails, one of the little girls immediately grinned.

"Biting your nails is very unhygienic. Don't you know that at your age?"

"Ok?"

Qi Ye glanced at her and found that she looked somewhat familiar.

And it's not red eyes, which means...

"Your name is Red Bean? If biting your nails is unhygienic... then come here and let me bite your nails?"

"Humph!"

The little girl pouted.

At that time, she was just a child and didn't seem to have much contact with Orochimaru.

Seven Nights Bites His Nails.

Then I was too lazy to think about it further, since it had nothing to do with him anyway.

Mitarashi Anko wanted to say something, but Yuhi Kurenai tugged at her clothes and shook her head at her.

It seems that Red Girl is more obedient.

The others, however, were curiously observing Qi Ye.

Qi Ye ignored them and instead considered what would be the most worthwhile thing to do.

Transportation vehicles are no challenge for Seven Nights.

Before transmigrating, he had been exposed to the design concepts, blueprints, and various technologies of launch vehicles in the research institute. Moreover, with his strong mental power, he could basically remember everything he had seen once.

It's not that he has a photographic memory, but rather that in addition to the abilities his eyes give him, he also possesses mental abilities.

This is easy to understand. Just like the Uchiha clan, in addition to the Sharingan's eye techniques, they can also cultivate various chakra.

For Qiye, the abilities granted by his eyes are like pupil techniques, while mental strength is an ability that he needs to constantly cultivate.

The benefits of strong mental strength include exceptional memory—it's no exaggeration to say that one can remember everything seen—and a strong learning ability.

As for why Shichiya couldn't refine chakra...

This might be related to the fact that he is not from this world. However, what Qiye cultivates is natural energy, which is much more powerful than chakra, so Qiye does not feel any regret about not being able to cultivate it.

Furthermore, Shichiya can simulate various attribute changes through natural energy, but that is not very meaningful because the power will be greatly reduced.

None of this matters.

The important thing is that as long as Qiye is given the materials and related equipment, he can even build a carrier rocket, let alone other transportation vehicles.

What Qiye is struggling with now is what kind of transportation vehicle would be best to make.

Bicycles were obviously not an option. The researchers in Konoha were thinking about improving bicycles, but they never considered creating other means of transportation based on imitation of bicycles.

Qi Ye felt that they lacked the most basic creative ideas as researchers and scientists.

However, there may only be one person in this world who can truly be considered a scientist or researcher.

Orochimaru.

I wonder if Orochimaru's various experiments have started yet; he seems to have some interesting research topics.

Thinking of this, Nanaya looked directly at Mitarashi Anko, who was standing to the side with Yuhi Kurenai and the others, and waved to her.

"Red Bean Girl".

"what?"

She seemed annoyed; it was unclear what Qi Ye had done to offend her.

However, Qi Ye didn't care. In his previous life, when he was in the research institute, he had dealt with many female researchers. They taught Qi Ye a lot, one of which was: if a girl you don't know well acts childish towards you, just ignore her.
