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

Chapter Sixty-Seven: The Eve

Konoha may have bad feng shui; it has suffered many disasters since its founding.

Surrounded by covetous nations and plagued by internal instability, the country faced both external and internal troubles.

In the sixtieth year of Konoha, Orochimaru, one of the Legendary Sannin, also turned his snake-like eyes toward Konoha, his gaze flashing with a dangerous light.

Sunagakure Village.

In the Third Shinobi World War, Sunagakure gained absolutely no advantage.

Not only did they fail to gain any advantage, but the Daimyo of the Land of Wind also cut their funding, making it impossible for them to train ninjas on a large scale. They could only take the elite route and prioritize training a small number of ninjas with potential.

However, due to a lack of assigned tasks and funding, even with reduced expenditures, the situation remains unsatisfactory.

Therefore, when the Hidden Sound Village contacted them, many people saw it as an opportunity.

An opportunity to take back what is rightfully ours from Konoha.

But what do they deserve?

It seems there isn't one at all.

However, the people of Sunagakure don't think that way. The ninjas and civilians of Konoha are living so well that many people are already envious to the point of going crazy.

Or perhaps it was jealousy?

I guess they all do.

There weren't many conscious Sand Village ninjas, so the matter was quickly discussed and approved.

Both sides agreed to begin their attack on Konoha during the third Chunin Exam.

Moreover, this time, they chose to send a group of elite ninjas to raid Konoha Village, while the rest prepared at the border.

There's nothing that can't be done. During the Third Shinobi World War, didn't Konoha launch a surprise attack on Iwagakure's headquarters?

The so-called rules of war have long been broken.

And it was Seven Nights who broke all of this.

With Orochimaru's assistance, or perhaps with the covert assistance of others, the ninjas of Sunagakure easily crossed the border and gathered in Konoha.

While Sunagakure and Otogakure were planning their actions, Nanaya was also doing his own thing.

He was drawing a notebook.

Moreover, this time, there are quite a few drawings. Some of the better quality ones from the past have been combined with some new ones to form a collection.

It's a thick book, probably containing dozens of articles.

Then it was printed and bound in large quantities.

With the robots working day and night and the help of other printing plants, more than 100,000 copies were printed in just half a month.

Then, apart from a portion sold in the Land of Snow, the rest were all loaded onto ships and transported to the Ninja Continent.

The Welfare Shrine, the doujinshi of Nanaya, will once again spread the shrine's glory throughout the entire ninja world!

……

The sixtieth year of Konoha, at the end of July.

Konoha Ninja Village.

Nanaya's new collection of doujinshi is already on sale in the Land of Fire, and naturally many people in Konoha have also bought it.

Gradually, it seems that many people have started to remember Konoha.

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

Nanaya also noticed this.

He was secretly pleased with this, and a smile appeared on his face.

Sure enough, everything else was fake except for the notebook.

Ultimately, Japan is a great entity capable of contributing to world peace.

Because many single people choose to read doujinshi, and then... well, you know... they don't have the extra energy to think about anything else. They certainly won't take the risk of raping someone or seducing young girls because they've been holding back for too long.

With the buying and selling of notebooks, the world will eventually become harmless.

Although Shichiya himself had abducted young girls before.

He took Hinata Hanabi away when she was three or four years old, and she was not sent back until she was seven.

If it weren't for Hinata Hanabi's young age, many people would probably suspect that there's some untold story between the two.

At this time, Nanaya was in Konoha.

He did manage to escape from the Land of Snow after all.

Recently, the oil field issue has caused a dispute within the Snow Country, splitting it into three factions.

One side advocates obtaining mining rights through negotiations, arguing that since other countries are unaware of the importance of oil, it is possible to obtain mining permits by paying certain benefits.

Another faction advocates sending troops to occupy areas where oil fields may exist; these are outright radicals, and possibly warmongers.

Another group remains neutral, seemingly still observing the situation.

Or perhaps, they are waiting for Qiye to make a decision.

As more and more people got involved in the dispute, Nana ran away in order to find some peace and quiet.

From the Land of Snow, we came to the Land of Fire, and to Konoha Village.

This is the second time I've come back since I left; the last time was when I took Hinata Hanabi away.

Yes, I remember meeting Tiantian once back then.

"Tian Tian has grown up so much!"

Walking through the streets of Konoha, Nanaya sighed with emotion.

I have maintained contact with Tian Tian's father almost continuously, so there are many photos of Tian Tian.

Perhaps Tian Tian's father simply wanted to show off that he had a lovely daughter.

Now that we've arrived in Konoha, we'll probably see him soon.

It was already evening.

Konoha remains bustling, with streetlights dispelling the darkness and making it as bright as day.

Tomorrow is the start of the third Chunin Exams, so many outsiders have come to Konoha, making the place even more lively.

"Sunagakure and Konoha are really incomparable!"

Qi Ye sighed with these thoughts.

A young girl shared the same sentiment as him.

A girl carrying a huge fan on her back.

That was Temari, the eldest daughter of the Fourth Kazekage, from Sunagakure.

She was alone, perhaps out shopping by herself.

Anyway, her two younger brothers are both... well, one spends all day tinkering with puppets and such, and the other is always saying things like "I'll kill you, I'll kill you."

They're all problem children; it must be really tough for her as the older sister.

I finally had some free time, so I decided to go out and have a stroll.

There isn't such a bustling night market in Sunagakure.

She envied the bustling atmosphere, the dazzling array of goods, and the innocent, carefree smiles of the children.

This is something that is rarely seen in Sunagakure.

There's always a repressive atmosphere in Sunagakure, as if everyone has forgotten what a smile is.

I don't know when it started.

Even her own home has become somewhat unlike a home.

Perhaps it's because of her younger brother Gaara?

Who knows?

Comparing the two ninja villages, there doesn't seem to be much to say about them.

Faced with such a ninja village, can the plan really be successfully implemented?

At this moment, Temari felt a growing sense of doubt deep down.

Ultimately, she didn't approve of such military adventures, even though she was considered a hardliner.

But being tough doesn't mean acting recklessly, especially without sufficient preparation.

Just like in the Third Shinobi World War, Sunagakure was not well prepared, resulting in its defeat and leaving the village even poorer than before the war.

Now? Will the same mistakes be repeated?

Temari doesn't quite understand.

But now there's no turning back.

Regardless, let's strive to create a better living environment for the new generation of ninjas.

Although she is only fifteen years old this year.

But compared to Yukata, who is only ten years old, she is indeed a senior.

Temari couldn't help but admire the yukata.

That's a truly talented junior, arguably the most promising junior in Sunagakure at present.

But she couldn't understand why the yukata hadn't shown any outstanding features before. Was there something hidden behind it?

This is hard to understand.

"Hmm? That person..."

Suddenly, one person in the crowd caught Temari's attention.
