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

Well, that's fine then.

……

Keep moving forward.

After leaving the Land of Fire, they entered the territories of some small countries.

On this day, while I was still walking on the road, it started to rain heavily.

It was probably a storm; the wind was strong and the rain was heavy.

Instead of using teleportation to take Tenten and Hinata away, Shichiya went straight into a cave and hid inside.

The cave was quite damp, and it wasn't very comfortable to stay inside.

So seven nights a great fire was set on fire, which evaporated all the water.

When the heat inside the cave subsided, he nodded in satisfaction.

"Okay, that's fine."

"Oh?"

Tenten and Hinata, who had been waiting at the cave entrance, also came in.

It was windy and rainy outside, and a bit chilly, but it warmed up once we entered the cave.

Seven Nights over there used his palms, as if wielding a large knife, to easily cut open some rocks in the cave.

Upon seeing this scene, both Tenten and Hinata couldn't help but widen their eyes.

"Brother Qiye, are you even human?"

"...How am I not human?"

"Can a human cut through a rock with their bare hands? Even a ninja couldn't do that."

While some ninjas can easily shatter rocks, Tenten doesn't know anyone who can slice through them like tofu.

Hinata Hyuga also found it amazing, but she didn't say anything.

When she was with Qi Ye, she was relatively quiet and mostly played the role of the silent one. She would only speak when asked, and she rarely took the initiative to speak.

Perhaps it was because she felt awkward about not being familiar with Qiye, or perhaps it was for some other reason.

Qi Ye, however, paid no attention to any of this.

"Once you learn Sage Mode, you will also be able to gather natural energy around your palms and turn it into a blade. At that time, not only rocks, but even steel will be easy to cut."

"Really?"

"Of course, why would I lie to you?"

Qi Ye was not lying, but it's not easy to reach his level; it's very difficult to do without a long period of practice.

But there's no need to elaborate on these points for now, and they're not things you absolutely need to learn.

Ninjas aren't as particular as Shichiya, who insisted on cutting stones to piece together a bed.

Yes, it's just a bed.

Qi Ye dug out a lot of rocks from the cave wall and pieced them together to make a platform to use as a bed.

"Alright, I'll sleep here tonight."

That's what Qiye said.

But suddenly I felt like something was wrong.

There are only one bed for three people...

This doesn't seem like a good idea.

However, the cave wasn't very big, and it couldn't fit more beds.

So what to do? Sure enough, this is the time to be a "gentleman" and push the two little girls away...

"Uh, I'll go gather some firewood."

Qi Ye felt she couldn't continue thinking about it, so she decisively changed the subject and walked outside.

Hinata opened her mouth, but no sound came out.

Instead, it was Tian Tian's voice that rang out.

"It's still raining so hard outside, Brother Qiye."

"It's alright, I have an energy shield."

He waved and left in the rain, quickly disappearing into the rain curtain.

Tian Tian didn't say anything more, she just looked at the bed that Qi Ye had pieced together with stones.

Without thinking much, I walked over and sat down.

Although it was hard rock, as a ninja, there was no need to care so much.

He looked at Hinata Hyuga and smiled again.

"Hinata...sister-in-law?"

"Ah, that..."

"Okay, okay, I'm not kidding you."

Seeing Hinata's face turn red instantly, and that she seemed anxious to explain, Tenten quickly waved her hand, indicating that it was just a joke.

Since they were already engaged, calling her "sister-in-law" didn't seem like a big deal.

However, this kind of marriage agreement...

It can only fool outsiders; for now, it's just wishful thinking on Jiraiya's and Hyuga's part.

The parties involved haven't agreed yet.

Nanaya didn't care, but Hinata Hyuga, while unable to ignore it, also felt a little... something.

Anyway, she felt quite awkward when she was with Qi Ye, so she didn't dare to talk much and tried to keep her presence to a minimum.

Tian Tian had no idea what was going on; she just thought it was a bit strange that a twelve-year-old girl was engaged to Qi Ye.

It's worth noting that although she called Qiye "brother," she had always called him "uncle" before losing the bet.

There is no mistake that Qiye is of the uncle generation.

However, a girl a year younger than her is engaged to a man of her uncle's age...

The ninja world is truly amazing!

Chapter 81: The Wedding Night...

It started raining in the afternoon, but it wasn't until evening that Qiye returned carrying a huge pile of things.

As soon as he got back, he threw all his things on the ground and climbed onto the stone bed.

Hinata Hyuga and Tenten were sitting up there, chatting.

When Shichiya returned, Hinata fell silent, but Tenten seemed eager to say something.

However, after climbing onto the stone bed, Nana climbed up to her side and used her legs as a pillow.

"Oh, that feels so good! My legs are so soft every day!"

"..."

Tian Tian's face was slightly flushed.

He glanced at Hinata Hyuga, then spoke directly to Nanaya.

"Brother Qiye, you should go to Hinata's side."

"Huh?"

Hinata Hyuga was startled.

Seven Nights blinked too.

He turned his head to look at Hinata Hyuga, then turned back to look at Tenten.

"why?"

"Is that even a question?"

Tian Tian also kept her head down, looking at him with a cute smile on her face.

Her face was still a little red, like an apple.

"Anyway, you'll all be family in the future."

"..."

Qi Ye found that Tian Tian's words made a lot of sense, and he didn't know how to refute them.

So, they shouldn't have ignored Jiraiya and the others in the first place, but instead stepped forward to clarify things?

Jiraiya is a real menace.

Although one could more or less guess Jiraiya's plans, Jiraiya wouldn't be so naive as to think that he could be bound to Konoha by a so-called marriage contract, would he?

Or is there another hidden story?

Qiye started biting her nails again.

Hinata Hyuga, standing over there, had her head down, her face even redder than Tenten's, and she didn't dare to speak.

Tian Tian glanced at what Qi Ye had brought back; it was two large bags.

"Brother Qiye, weren't we supposed to be going to find firewood?"

"Oh, one of them contains that, and the other contains snacks, all bought from town."

"...From town? Bought it?"

"Yes, is there a problem?"

"..."
