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

"That's Sayu's brother, right? Do you think there's any way to save him? Aren't you even better than Orochimaru at this?"

"Who said I'm better than Snake? Go find whoever said that, I'm not responsible for anything."

Nanaya shrugged again, pulled Tenten and Hinata who had already walked up to him, and casually stepped on the girl he had grabbed, and disappeared with a "whoosh".

This is spatial movement.

Jiraiya opened his mouth, looking at the spot where Nanaya had disappeared.

In the end, all they could do was sigh helplessly.

Well, that guy Nanaya has never cared about the lives of others, after all, he was able to coldly watch Minato Namikaze and the Third Hokage die in front of him.

Compared to people he was somewhat familiar with, such as Minato Namikaze and the Third Hokage, Nanaya didn't care, let alone someone he didn't know.

Although he knew Fuma Sayu, Nanaya had no idea who her brother was.

Moreover, while they claim to know each other, they only know each other's names.

As for whether such a tragedy would evoke any pity in Qiye...

If Nanaya had been more compassionate, Minato Namikaze and the Third Hokage wouldn't have died.

Ultimately, this world is full of tragedies.

Or to put it another way, the death of one person is a tragedy, but if a hundred, a thousand, or even more people die, then all that's left is numbness.

Some people living in peacetime clamor for war all day long; I don't know if it's ignorance or just innate cold-bloodedness.

And then there are some people who can squeeze out a few tears over the death of a cat or dog. What if someone were to die? Would they cry their eyes out and then accidentally unlock a Sharingan? Or perhaps have red eyes?

I reckon there are quite a few people with conjunctivitis.

"Ugh……"

Shaking his head helplessly, Jiraiya could only sigh.

It seems that Hinata Hyuga made a mistake in this move.

Unfortunately, it's too late to regret it now; after all, backing down at this point is not a good thing.

Jiraiya has seen it all. Some people seem indifferent when you offer them something, as if it doesn't matter whether you give it to them or not. But if you suddenly stop giving it to them, they'll hold a grudge against you.

Of course, Jiraiya believed that Nanaya wouldn't be that kind of person.

But what can be done now that it has already happened?

Let's just go down this path to the bitter end.

Besides, given Nanaya's personality, even if he eventually becomes indifferent to Hinata Hyuga, he wouldn't actually leave her to live a life of widowhood.

"You lecherous immortal, let's hurry up and leave."

Naruto Uzumaki has already received some information about Sasuke Uchiha from Fuma Sayu's brother.

Although they ultimately failed to find Sasuke Uchiha, the fact that they received information that he was relatively safe for at least three years provided them with some peace of mind.

Sakura Haruno's expression seemed off; she wasn't able to help much, and even put Naruto in danger several times.

But now is not the time to think about these things.

"Lord Jiraiya, this place is about to collapse."

"Okay, let's go."

Jiraiya nodded.

However, before leaving, he also took with him the monster that the three of them had failed to combine, as mentioned by Qi Ye.

It's probably Orochimaru's doing.

Since Fengmo Shayu had helped them in some way, they planned to reciprocate by asking Qiye to see if he could cure her.

Therefore, I gave them special instructions.

“That guy Qiye won’t do anything without a profit. See if there’s anything that might interest him. Give it to him and let him treat your brother.”

"I understand."

Having received the hint, Fengmo Shayu quickly nodded.

For her now, Qiye is her lifeline.

Of course, she saved her brother's life.

Chapter 93: Superficial

I went in in the afternoon and came out in the evening.

Qi Ye did not continue on his journey, but turned back and returned to the town where the Wind Demon Clan lived.

Because of Jiraiya, one of the legendary Sannin, the Fuma clan was quite welcoming to them.

What's more, he even helped them rescue two of their clansmen.

The woman who intercepted Qiye was also from the Fengmo clan.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that only the Wind Demon Clan remained in that base.

Orochimaru wasn't stupid; he had already retreated with his trusted subordinates.

As for the Wind Demon Clan...

They were just trying to trick the Konoha ninjas into causing some trouble for entering the base; how could they possibly treat them as real subordinates?

If they weren't of some use, they might not have even seen Orochimaru, let alone had the surgery to merge the three of them into one to increase their strength.

However, such a fusion only produces monsters, not some Saiyan or anything like that.

Nanaya didn't like crowds, so she didn't join in the fun. Instead, she took Tenten and Hinata Hyuga and found another hotel to stay at.

Now that it's confirmed Orochimaru has escaped, he can go and investigate those barren hills to see if they contain any mineral deposits.

This is not what he needs, but what the Snow Country needs.

As night fell, Qi Ye, having eaten and drunk his fill, stood by the window of his room, looking at the moon hanging in the sky.

"I wonder how the war with the Land of Water is going."

Although someone who is focused on living a normal life shouldn't be concerned with these things.

But Nanaya also wanted to know just how far Hinata Hanabi was capable of, and whether she was truly a monster.

Unlike the grotesque monsters that Orochimaru experimented on, these were real monsters.

If he weren't a monster, how could he stir up such a storm at the age of seven?

……

The Land of Water.

The army of the Land of Snow has landed.

The army of the Land of Water and the ninja of Kirigakure were ordered to withdraw from the coastal areas, and even to move out of the range of the naval cannons.

But it was still bombed by planes.

However, without the threat of naval guns, and with the Hidden Mist Ninja forces being relatively dispersed, the threat posed by aircraft mainly manifested in disrupting logistics.

However, this was an operation fought on the land of the Land of Water, and the people of the Land of Water were still loyal to the Land of Water, so the logistical pressure on the Hidden Mist ninja was not much.

At this point, we'll have to rely on the combat capabilities of the Snow Country's army.

The Snow Country's army force of about 100,000 people is divided into two armies. Currently, only one army has been transferred over, consisting of an armored division, an artillery division, and an infantry division that is not as mechanized and is mainly composed of infantry.

In addition, there are several logistics units, totaling approximately 50,000 troops, accounting for half of the total army strength of the Snow Country.

As one of the five great nations, the Land of Water has relatively good road conditions.

This also provided conditions for armored divisions, with armored divisions, artillery divisions, and infantry divisions cooperating with each other. The armored divisions took the lead in breaking through the enemy's defenses, while the infantry divisions followed up to eliminate the enemy's manpower. The artillery divisions, as well as aircraft from aircraft carriers, provided support.

They also began constructing an airport in the occupied port, where an air force unit would be stationed.

However, Kirigakure also began its counterattack.

The Hidden Mist Village has many ninja, and although its strength has been greatly weakened due to internal strife, it is still far superior to the Land of Snow.

The Land of Snow only has special ninja units, not ninja villages. There are fewer than two hundred people who can go to the battlefield, most of whom are chunin or genin, and there are no jonin.

Perhaps they can grow stronger in the war, but the war has only just begun.

Therefore, if a swift victory cannot be achieved, the Land of Snow cannot compete with the Land of Water in terms of resources and strength.

Given this situation, how to inflict heavy casualties on the Hidden Mist Village's ninja forces is something the Land of Snow needs to consider.

Some advocated concentrating all forces to attack the Daimyo's residence in the Land of Water, capturing the Daimyo, taking the Daimyo prisoner, and forcing Kirigakure to surrender.

Others also advocate concentrating all forces, but instead of attacking the Daimyo's capital, they attack in all directions, forcing Kirigakure to concentrate its superior forces for a large-scale battle.

Once the ninja forces of Kirigakure are assembled, the army of the Land of Snow will be able to leverage the advantages of their new weapons to inflict massive casualties on Kirigakure's chuunibyou and genin.

As for Jonin, those require skilled fighters to deal with.

In addition, there are various other opinions, and no consensus seems to have been reached.

Under these circumstances, the telegram was quickly delivered to the Daimyo's residence in the Land of Snow and Konoha Village in the Land of Fire, reaching the hands of Kazahana Koyuki and Hyuga Hanabi respectively.

It was nighttime.

Hinata Hanabi hadn't rested yet, so Hinata Natsu came to find her with a telegram.

After reading it, she didn't say anything.

After a long silence, Hinata Natsu finally spoke.

"Miss Hanabi, aren't you going to reply?"

Is there really no solution for Hinata Hanabi?

Hinata Natsumi had some doubts about this.

But this seems to be a good thing, at least it proves that she is not an omnipotent monster.

Is that really the case?

A smile appeared on Hinata Hanabi's lips.
