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

Qi Ye sat to one side, holding a dozen or so fruits in his clothes, and was biting into one in his hand.

She sat opposite him in a yukata, tilting her head to tidy her wet hair, her face seemingly a little flushed.

If the visibility was so poor just now, Shichiya shouldn't have been able to see anything, right?

Yukata glanced at Shichiya, then looked away.

It should be invisible.

Perhaps, even if she saw it, her teacher probably wouldn't care, because in Qi Ye's eyes, she might just be an immature child.

"Speaking of which, Yukata, what are you doing here? On a mission?"

Seven Nights spoke up and asked.

He really doesn't seem to care about anything else; besides notebooks, perhaps only food can interest him.

Yukata didn't know whether she should breathe a sigh of relief or something, but she still answered.

"I've come to see you, teacher."

"Looking for me? What's up?"

"I've been feeling a bit lost lately."

"Oh? You have someone you like?"

"No."

Yukata quickly shook her head.

She couldn't be bothered to think about those things; she wasn't a lovesick fool.

Moreover, she didn't believe that any man in the world could compare to Qiye.

Qi Ye is so good to her, and he is also very strong. He doesn't have a bad temper, and he's lazy, which sometimes makes him quite cute.

Although it seems inappropriate for a student to view their teacher in this way.

Chapter 84: Looking for Trouble

"I'm here to see the teacher because of something that happened some time ago."

"A while ago? Around the time of the Chunin Exams?"

"Ah."

He nodded.

When it came to serious matters, Yukata stopped daydreaming.

His expression also looked a bit serious.

"Teacher, can war be eliminated?"

"Huh? How could that be?"

Qi Ye pouted.

Unless the world is at nuclear peace, war will continue.

Even if it's not a war that sweeps the entire world, it will still happen in local areas.

Conflicts are everywhere—between nations, between races, and even between individuals.

And frankly, even if humanity goes extinct, wars won't stop, they'll just be defined differently.

In the end, nature is a world of survival of the fittest, which is also a form of warfare.

The desire to eliminate war is ultimately just a fantasy.

Hearing his unquestionable tone, Yuka's mood also became somewhat depressed.

There was no talking, only the crackling sound of the fire.

a long time.

Nanaya stared at the yukata for a while, then asked a question.

"What, you're backing down now?"

"Ah."

The yukata responded.

Then another silence fell.

Only then did she raise her head and look at Qiye.

"I always wanted to change Sunagakure and the lives of war orphans, but during the Chunin Exams, when Sunagakure joined forces with Otogakure to attack Konoha, I realized that changing the lives of war orphans is simple; all it takes is enough money. But what then? There are still many more war orphans in the world, and they are constantly being created. War orphans exist because of war, and their lives are not guaranteed because their parents died in the war. If we don't change this, even if we can change the lives of some war orphans, what will happen after I die? Even if we change Sunagakure, there are still so many war orphans outside. Only a few can be brought back to the ninja village; most of them will probably starve to death soon."

Yukata was also a war orphan, and her life wasn't easy before she met Shichiya.

Moreover, because of his lack of outstanding talent, he has never received enough training.

Many times she wondered what her life would have been like if she hadn't met Qiye.

There is no answer.

But perhaps, like others, she would barely have enough to eat and wear, and then successfully graduate from the ninja academy to become a ninja. Perhaps she would die early in a mission, or perhaps she would grow up, marry someone, and have children.

The worst fear is that after giving birth, she dies on a mission, along with her husband, leaving her child an orphan and repeating the mistakes of the previous generation.

Such a world is truly frustrating and heartbreaking.

"Um……"

Qi Ye stopped biting the fruit in her hand and started biting her nails instead.

That's how the ninja world is—constant conflict, and so many orphans that even if people saw them, they wouldn't feel any pity. All that would remain is numbness and helplessness.

The ninjas continued fighting.

The First Hokage clearly wanted to change the world, but he chose the wrong method.

If it were Shichiya, he definitely wouldn't try to maintain a balance; instead, he would have wiped out the other ninja villages, unified the ninja world, established a unified country, and then started improving people's livelihoods.

Even if there is a balance, it shouldn't be done that way, because that way the military power would only be in the hands of the ninja village, and ordinary people still wouldn't be able to resist.

Madara Uchiha clearly saw through these things, which is why he parted ways with the First Hokage.

But Madara Uchiha went to extremes. What was the point of sending everyone into a genjutsu?

An illusion is still an illusion.

Madara Uchiha's mistake was that he believed there would be eternal peace in the world, which is actually impossible.

Human hearts are unpredictable, and everyone's thoughts are different. Therefore, wherever there are people, there will be conflict. So don't expect there to be eternal peace.

Even if everyone were put into an illusion, it would be difficult to change these things.

All living beings are pawns.

Putting everything else aside, at least for now, everyone in the ninja world is a pawn of Black Zetsu.

He manipulated everyone.

The purpose was simply to revive Kaguya.

"Ugh……"

Shaking his head and sighing, Qiye looked at the yukata again.

"so what?"

"I don't know what to do, teacher. Can you tell me?"

"Um……"

I bit my nail and hesitated for a moment.

Finally, he spoke up.

"Go find Little Firework, then go find Little Snow... oh, that is, the daimyo of the Land of Snow, you two discuss it yourselves."

Yukata, Hinata fireworks, Fuuka koyuki.

Kazahana Koyuki commands a powerful army, Hinata Hanabi is a "monster" in Shichiya's eyes, and Yukata is a disciple personally trained by Shichiya.

Without exception, all three were influenced by Qiye's ideas.

Therefore, when the three of them are together, they can naturally come up with a plan.

Seven Nights had also figured it out. In any case, the Snow Country would eventually embark on the path of external expansion, otherwise the Snow Country without resources would be paralyzed.

If that's the case, then we might as well change the name.

After all, external expansion sounds really bad, but what if it's to save people from suffering?

The policies of the Snow Country are good; if they are promoted more, they will surely gain a lot of support.

However, Fuuka Koyuki doesn't understand military affairs very well, while Yukata is patriotic and concerned about the people, but he's rather dull, though he's good at charging into battle.

Hinata Hanabi is different.

How could someone who is called a "monster" by Qiye be simple?

"But teacher, what are we discussing?"

"I can see that you wanted to change Sunagakure back then, and now you want to change the ninja world. But relying on the abilities of ninjas won't work. Military power is in the hands of ninjas, so ordinary people shouldn't expect to have an easy time. So go to the Land of Snow. The Land of Snow won't disappoint you. It took me a lot of effort to get there."

"I understand."

The yukata nodded.

She came to Qiye seeking guidance, and now that Qiye has pointed out a path, she doesn't need to overthink it; she can simply follow the direction Qiye has indicated.

That's how much she trusted Qiye.

At this moment, Qi Ye also stood up.

"Take these roasted animal carcasses with you, go rest for the night, and go again tomorrow."

"Oh."

Yukata nodded and began packing her things.
