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

Tian Tian was very anxious. Before anyone knew it, she had already pulled out two kunai and was holding them in her hands.

"Uncle Qiye..."

"Call me brother."

"...Brother Qiye, what do we do now?"

"Don't ask me. You should know that as a rogue ninja, it's already a great favor to Konoha that I'm not causing any destruction right now!"

Qi Ye curled his lip, having no intention of getting involved in such matters at all.

Ultimately, he used to live a good life in Konoha, spending his free time hiding in the shrine, eating snacks, drinking hot tea, and occasionally drawing in his notebooks.

How wonderful that kind of daily life would be.

However, the Third Hokage first used the favor of bringing him back to Konoha by the Sannin to ask him to participate in the war against Sunagakure, and later used the promise of exporting doujinshi to lure him into getting more deeply involved in the war.

That's fine, but they helped Konoha so much, they deserve credit for their hard work even if they didn't get any credit.

However, Danzo actually framed Orochimaru when Orochimaru's crimes were exposed, forcing him to flee Konoha and go to the Land of Snow to live the daily life he wanted.

As a result of a series of unexpected events, he was once again tied to the Land of Snow, and his daily life there was now under threat.

So Shichiya's idea wasn't wrong. At this time, not taking advantage of someone's misfortune to cause trouble was already doing Konoha a favor.

That's the logic, but Tian Tian doesn't understand it.

"but……"

"There's no buts. You're just a genin, so you can't help much. You might as well stay here with me."

Although Tenten's strength is not bad, it would be of no use in this kind of battle.

Such a surprise attack was carried out by elites from both Sunagakure and Otogakure.

In other words, this is an elite battle between Chunin and Jonin; Tenten is still far from being a match for them.

If I had to say, Hinata Hanabi could be involved.

"Little Fireworks."

Qi Ye bit her nails.

Yukata is here again this time, and Hinata Hanabi is here too.

So what will the two of them do?

……

On the other side, on the Hokage Rock.

Hinata Hanabi and yukata are both here.

Before anything even started, they had already run out of the exam room, because they already knew what was going to happen.

It was found in a yukata.

Having mastered Sage Mode, she is highly sensitive to chakra and aura, and can easily detect that the Fourth Kazekage has been replaced.

But even if she told people this, no one would believe her.

Orochimaru is too dangerous, and even if she enters Sage Mode, she's not confident she can expose him.

So I never said anything.

I just think that since Orochimaru dared to impersonate the Fourth Kazekage, the Fourth Kazekage has likely already been imprisoned or killed by him.

So he wanted to find the Fourth Kazekage, because only by finding the Fourth Kazekage could he expose Orochimaru's conspiracy.

Unfortunately, even after things started, he still hadn't found it.

"I still couldn't stop it from happening."

"This is not your fault. If anyone is to blame, it is those ambitious people."

Hinata Hanabi's face remained expressionless as she simply observed everything below.

Several giant snakes were wreaking havoc in Konoha Village, and Sand Village and Sound Village ninjas rushed in from outside, advancing along the streets and alleys towards the center of Konoha.

On Konoha's side, not many ninjas came out to resist.

The Sand Village, as an ally, seems rather unreliable.

Looking at the destroyed houses and the dead ninjas.

As for the yukata, all I could do was sigh.

"An ambitious person without power is merely a dreamer; an ambitious person with power and influence is an executioner."

How many people can be killed by a single order from an ambitious person?

There won't be a single answer; it could be many or few.

But undeniably, some people will die because of ambitious people.

They didn't have to die.

"Orochimaru……"

Yukata clenched her fists, her heart filled with resentment, but there was little she could do.

She is no match for Orochimaru.

What are you planning to do?

Hinata Hanabi also spoke up.

She didn't believe that the yukata would join in the destruction of Konoha, after all, they had lived together for more than two years.

Moreover, Yukata is a disciple of Shichiya.

The term "disciple" refers not only to learning ninjutsu, but also to one's ideology.

What are Nanaya's thoughts?

I lazily spend each day in my daily routine, occasionally drawing doujinshi (books/manga), spreading the glory of the shrine and doujinshi.

That's it.

Anyway, I'm not thinking about war.

She didn't want to wear a yukata; she simply wanted to change some things in Sunagakure.

For example, to make life better for war orphans.

But now, she seems to have understood.

If we don't defeat all those ambitious people, ordinary people will never have a good life.

Moreover, her individual strength is ultimately limited; changing Sunagakure doesn't have much significance.

Because outside of Sunagakure, there are many more war orphans living a precarious life.

Even many adults are still poorly clothed and hungry.

This is the current state of the world.

It is true that no matter what era, only a small percentage of people are ever truly wealthy.

But if most people can't even guarantee three meals a day, then it means that the world already has a huge problem.

However, this is not the time to consider these things.

Chapter 73: Sage Mode

Take a deep breath and clear your mind of all those random thoughts.

The yukata was the first to speak.

"Let's deal with this attack first."

"Then I'll deal with the Sand Village ninjas, and you go deal with the Sound Village ninjas..."

"No, I'll deal with the Sand Village ninja."

"Can you really do it?"

"You don't need to go all the way; just knock them out."

The yukata shook his head.

They were comrades after all, so naturally they wouldn't kill them.

But if the other party is truly stubborn, then she can't be blamed.

Moreover, by taking action herself, she was essentially protecting the Sand Village ninja. If Hyuga Hanabi were to actually do it, she might just get killed.

Despite being only seven years old, he and Qi Ye have taken down quite a few fools when they're out together.

How could a ninja not be able to kill someone?

"Alright then, I'll deal with the Sound Ninja."

Hinata Hanabi nodded, which was taken as agreement.

The two girls didn't say anything more, closed their eyes, and stood there for a while.

When he opened his eyes again, his demeanor had changed.

Although there seems to be no change in appearance, the feeling one gives off has changed a lot.

It added a sense of ethereal bliss.

Perhaps it's because Shichiya himself has a detached and unambitious personality that the Sage Mode he developed truly resembles a legendary immortal untouched by the mortal world.

It's not just Hinata Hanabi and her yukata; even Guren feels the same way.

As for Qiye, he seems quite ordinary.

Perhaps it's about returning to simplicity?

None of that matters.

The Sage Mode developed by Nanaya is different from the one Jiraiya learned.

If it weren't for the two toads helping him to gather and absorb natural energy, his immortal mode would automatically deactivate due to excessive consumption in a short time.
