"Last week, we printed an additional 996 copies of *Ninja Girls Desd to Hell*, all of which have beeo Iwagakure."
"*Hidden icles of Female Ninja*. a total of 1,000 copies. has also been printed and will be sent takure for sale week."
"And *Young Ninja Kodai* and *Bright Ninjutsu* have already beeo Kumogakure and Sunagakure, respectively..."
Sitting at the head of the meeting room table, Gojo Kaigetsu casually cracked some sunflower seeds as he listeo his subordinates' reports, nodding in satisfa.
[1. You have poisohe minds of Iwagakure's ninja. Prosperity: +20]
[2. You have poisohe minds of Kirigakure's ninja. Prosperity: +20]
[...]
Listen to that. What a sweet sound.
Boosting prosperity also be achieved by affeg external enviros. Simply put, weakening the enemy = strengthening oneself.
[4. You have poisohe minds of Kumogakure's ninja. Prosperity: +5]
"Hmm?"
Gojo Kaigetsu furrowed his brow, sensing something was amiss.
Every other vilge's weakening brought Konoha a prosperity boost of 20 points. But for Kumogakure, why only 5?
"Yamashita, bring me a copy of the book we sent to Kumogakure this week."
"Y-yes, sir!"
Yamashita, the chief editor of the High Specialized Publishing House, wiped the sweat from his brow as he quickly fetched a copy of *Young Ninja Kodai* from the printing room and ha to Gojo Kaigetsu. Theepped back, cautiously Gojo Kaigetsu's expression.
Chief Editor Yamashita had deep respect fojo Kaigetsu.
First, he was an ordinary person, while Gojo was a ninja; sed, Gojo held a high position in Konoha, with titles like "Shadow Hokage" and "Konoha's Mastermind" among their circles; third, distributing such borderline illegal books to the other major nations could easily get them wanted.
Gojo Kaigetsu flipped through the book carelessly. It was exactly as per his instrus. no quality issues whatsoever.
So, the problem wasn't with the book itself. Where, then, was the issue? Gojo Kaigetsu fell into deep thought.
Yamashita took a step forward and cautiously suggested, "Sir, retly, the borders of the freat nations have seen new patrol teams, and many of our books have been seized. Should we perhaps... grease some palms?"
Gojo Kaigetsu waved his hand dismissively. "You hahose matters yourself. Use the funds from the ats as you see fit. The main goal is to get the books over there. I don't care how much profit or loss we incur."
"I ask you, has anything happened retly in Kumogakure?"
"Kumogakure?"
Yamashita drew in a sharp breath, thinking how astute Gojo Kaigetsu was, as if he had eyes everywhere.
"Yes, specifically in Kumogakure, our books have faced the strictest scrutiny."
"I fear... we're reag a breaking point. If we keep pushing, we might get exposed and end up on a wanted list."
"Thehem issue a warrant." Gojo Kaigetsu shrugged. "The publishing house is under your name. If something goes wrong, it has nothing to do with me."
"Uh... I uand, sir. Gojo-sama has never visited our publishing house."
Chief Editor Yamashita inwardly mented his misfortu dared not harbor any rebellious thoughts.
Gojo Kaigetsu had shown him great kindness. Over the years, publishing these borderline illegal books fojo had brought his family a life of wealth and fort. Bearing these risks was only fair.
"If something does g, I'll take full responsibility," Yamashita vowed, biting his lip in a dispy of loyalty.
"Good." Gojo Kaigetsu patted his shoulder. "But there's o be so tehings may not turn out that badly."
"Keep up the good work. I have some other busio attend to."
As Gojo Kaigetsu stepped out of the publishing house, he headed toward the official publishing office of the Land of Fire stationed in Konoha to oversee the printing process of *Shinobi Journal*.
The pn to poison the freat nations with harmful literature must be unwavering for at least five years!
This operation ot afford any mistakes, so Gojo Kaigetsu decided to approach it with the utmost caution.

Meanwhile, in the distant Kumogakure...
Killer Bee, the Jinchuriki of the Eight-Tails, was currently being harshly whipped while suspended from the ceiling by the Fourth Raikage, A.
*Crack. crack. crack.*
Each sh reflected A's frustration with his brother for failing to live up to his expectations.
"Bee! I've tolerated your obsession with rap that's beeing into your training time!"
"But now, you're secretly reading this kind of garbage!"
*Crack. *
Another sh nded, and A pointed angrily at the strange book titled *Young Ninja Kodai* lying on the wooden table. His rage had reached its boiling point.
At the edge of the room, a few young ninja, all of whom were around Killer Bee's age and the offspring of Kumogakure's high-ranking officials, were huddled together, trembling with their hands csped before their stomachs. They were, to some extent, aplices in this mess.
A snatched up *Young Ninja Kodai*, flipped through a few pages, and his anger only intensified. "What kind of trash are you reading? This book is truly harmful!"
"Damn it, you brats! Do you know that Killer Bee didn't pass a single se of his ret evaluation?!"
"If you spend all day reading this kind of junk, it's going to get you killed!"
"Killer Bee is at a critical juncture in his development as a ninja! Reading this kind of nonsense. do you want to get distracted otlefield and end up dead?!"
A's furious roars echoed through the small room, lingering long after.
The whole i started when Killer Bee, along with a group of young ninja, began perf poorly in their ret evaluations. Even during missions, they were often distracted and sluggish...
Suspicious, the Fourth Raikage ordered the Kumogakure ANBU to iigate, and it didn't take long to uhe cause.
Who would have thought? The Eight-Tails Jinchuriki of Kumogakure, Killer Bee, had beely reading this kind of trash...
A's gaze hardened as he looked at the young ninja, the ss of Kumogakure's elite. These useless heirs had clearly led Killer Bee astray. But as the Raikage, he couldn't impose any real punishment on them.
Every vilge has its untouchable parasites.
What worried A even more was... if these upper-echelon brats were this way, what about the on ninja? How many of them were secretly reading this forbidden literature?
At this rate, how could Kumogakure maintain its strong, battle-hardened culture?
He couldn't say for sure.
If things kept going this way, the vilge would fall into dee!
"B-Bro, don't be mad," Killer Bee cautiously spoke up, his eyes hidden behind his sungsses but clearly fixated on the book in A's hand, afraid that his brht destroy this precious treasure in a fit e.
"You idiot!"
A's temper fred, and in the moment, he activated his Lightning Release Chakra Mode, crushing the book into dust.
"Order a full iigation and fiscation of all copies of *Young Ninja Kodai* within Kumogakure!"
"Find out who's behind publishing these books!"
"And finally, all of you are to be fio your homes for refle! Without my order, none of you are to step outside!"
