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

Perhaps, the reason why Qiye mentioned that name was not just a joke or a perfunctory response.

In Jiraiya's view, the reason why Nanaya appeared cold and heartless was simply because he did not have anyone he cherished in his heart.

The name spoken by Qiye was undoubtedly the best breakthrough point.

He wanted to change Qiye, so he came regardless of everything.

"I want to arrange a marriage for your eldest daughter, Hinata Hyuga, with Nanaya as the potential partner."

"……what?"

Hiashi Hyuga was completely bewildered, saying he had no idea what was going on in this world.

Chapter 75: The important thing is...

Who is Qi Ye?

Hiashi Hyuga naturally knew him; wasn't he the little rascal who kidnapped his youngest daughter and acted like a child despite his advanced age? It was hard for him to forget.

Anyway, he really disliked Qi Ye.

There was no grudge or hatred between them; he was simply annoyed that Qi Ye had abducted his daughter for more than two years.

"Lord Jiraiya, what do you mean by this?"

"To act as a matchmaker."

"That's not how matchmaking works, is it? Qi Ye... he's from the same era as us. You want him to marry my daughter?"

"What does it matter? Anyway, Shichiya doesn't look very old."

That eternally seventeen-year-old—if Jiraiya hadn't known Nanaya to some extent, he might have thought he had developed some forbidden technique like Orochimaru.

In fact, Orochimaru's forbidden techniques were inspired by Shichiya. At that time, Shichiya's unusual behavior led Orochimaru to suspect that he was the soul of some old monster possessing a child.

Perhaps he developed the soul transfer technique based on this inspiration.

Of course, that's not important.

"That's what they say..."

Hiashi Hyuga also knew that Shichiya truly seemed like he would never grow up.

It's not that I'm immature in my thinking, it's just that my body hasn't changed much.

But this doesn't mean that Qiye's age can be ignored.

"In any case, Nanaya is almost twenty years older than Hinata, and..."

"And what?"

"The Hyuga clan's bloodline limit must not be leaked."

So that's the key point.

Jiraiya understood this perfectly well, and upon hearing this, he could only remain silent.

In families with bloodline limits, intermarriage within the clan is common, and marriage between cousins is also very frequent and not unusual.

For example, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Hyuga Neji could have married either Hyuga Hinata or Hyuga Hanabi, even though their fathers were brothers.

However, an accident occurred.

But that's not important.

Importantly, the rule that bloodline limits cannot be leaked is a fundamental family rule in almost all clans, which generally manifests as women not being allowed to marry outside the clan.

Men can marry outsiders, since they are bringing women home, not sending them away.

Of course, there are exceptions, such as marrying into the wife's family.

However, if you want to marry into the family, you have to be valuable; simply put, you need to have potential and strength.

However, who among those with potential and ability would choose to marry into the family?

Everyone has their own self-esteem and pride, so there are basically no exceptions.

Alternatively, if the family is wiped out and a few members are left to wander, then marriage would not be restricted.

However, the Hyuga family is present here, and their family rules are very strict.

Therefore, even if Jiraiya were to act as matchmaker, or even if the Third Hokage were to be resurrected and come in person, success was not guaranteed.

It's even less likely that Qi Ye will marry into the family.

So, this is destined to be fruitless?

Jiraiya didn't see it that way either.

After finishing the tea in my hand, I put down the cup.

Jiraiya decided to explain some things to Hiashi Hyuga.

“I’m not making this up; in fact, there are very important reasons.”

"reason?"

"Seven Nights, the Land of Snow, Akatsuki—the ninja world may appear peaceful, but in reality, turmoil is brewing. It may not be long before a catastrophe, an unprecedented catastrophe that will sweep across the entire ninja world, is about to unfold."

"?!"

……

"The pond is full, and the rain has stopped..."

Humming a little tune, Shichiya strolled leisurely through Konoha with great interest.

Although I've visited this place many times, each time seems to be a little different.

Moreover, I used to shop alone, but this time, Hinata Hanabi was with me.

Every day, she followed behind him, pouting, keeping a respectful distance.

She seemed unwilling to speak to Qiye, but there was something she needed to tell him.

But Shichiya didn't seem to want to say anything, and Hinata Hanabi just smiled and followed beside him, holding Shichiya's hand.

This made it difficult for Tian Tian to speak up.

However, Qi Ye eventually saw through her inner conflict.

Stop humming your little tune, turn around and wave to Tian Tian.

"Come here, Little Tiantian."

"Brother Qiye".

This time, the call was correct, which made Qiye very happy.

He raised his right hand, which wasn't being pulled by Hinata Hanabi, patted her little head, and then pulled her along as they walked forward.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Brother Qiye, you also know medicine, right?"

"Yes, I know a little about both traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine."

Traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine? What are those?

Anyway, I've only ever heard about medical ninjutsu, even though Konoha Hospital has a lot of medical equipment and the like.

But this seems irrelevant.

"Brother Qiye, can you help treat Li? Oh, Li is my classmate. He was injured by Gaara of Sunagakure during the elimination tournament a while ago, and he hasn't recovered yet. The medical ninjas all say it's very serious, and they can't do anything about it."

"Oh, if even professionals can't do anything about it, what can an amateur like me do?"

"Didn't Brother Qiye help me with my treatment a few days ago?"

"Really? I don't remember."

"..."

I don't know what to say every day.

Hinata Hanabi, on the other hand, understood.

Given Qiye's personality, it wouldn't have been a problem for her to ask him for help every day.

But it's estimated that Li's injuries are too troublesome, so Qiye doesn't plan to deal with them anymore.

Ultimately, it all comes down to laziness.

However, this also shows how serious Li's injuries were.

Tian Tian didn't understand this; she didn't know Qi Ye well enough.

So all he could do was pout and express his displeasure.
