  In the official publishing house of the Land of Fire, located in Konoha:

  "There's no such thing as a poor market, only poor efficy!"

  "Streeam building, improve work efficy!"

  "Long-term pnning, produ es first!"

  "op produ, even if it means breaking the rules!"

  Such slogans were everywhere, strategically pced by Gojo Kaigetsu. Under his deliberate design, the entire printing factory was filled with simir motivational phrases, creating an enviro charged with a spirit of "struggle."

  The st of ink wafted through the air.

  The workers' feet were moving so fast on the printing pedals that they seemed to leave afterimages, as page after page of clear, legible text rinted out.

  Limited by the current level of teology, the printing output was somewhat low, so they had to resort to such extreme measures to speed up the printing of *Ideology of the Wood*.

  Produ! Produ! It's all about damn produ!

  To un offensive against the freat nations, a massive quantity of ideological magazines was o overwhelm them. Gojo Kaigetsu wao ehat the citizens of those nations would open their eyes to see "the Land of Fire" and close their eyes to "advanced civilization," deeply embedding these ideas into the minds of their merts.

  As soon as the workshop supervisor saw Gojo Kaigetsu approag, he immediately shouted out the prepared slogan: "Thank you for your hard wojo-sama!"

  The workers, who were frantically stamping the pedals, also shouted the same slogan in unison.

  The atmosphere in the printing factory became even more fervent.

  Gojo Kaigetsu had a great reputation among these ordinary workers. In such war-torn times, where else could they find a stable, well-paying job?

  Gojo Kaigetsu smiled without speaking, merely raising his hand in the air to quiet the fervent shouts.

  The afternoon passed in the blink of an eye, and as Gojo Kaigetsu y ba his boss's chair, taking a light nap, he slowly opened his eyes.

  A strange light flickered deep within his eyes. With his Six Eyes, he could see things that were previously invisible... like the chakra-beariy rapidly approag from afar.

  "It seems I o start wearing protective goggles or a bck silk band, or else these eyes... might draw unwatention."

  Gojo Kaigetsu muttered to himself as he casually opened a drawer and took out a bck silk band, tying it over his eyes.

  Three seds ter, the twelve-year-old Kakashi Hatake, dressed in an Anbu uniform and wearing a bck mask, arrived behind Gojo Kaigetsu.

  Kakashi looked at the Anbu's de facto leader before him and noticed that his appearance was somewhat unusual today, but he didn't dare ent, quickly rep:

  "Gojo-sama, there's been an i."

  "Hmm? What is it?"

  Gojo Kaigetsu zily stretched, knowing that sihe system hadn't alerted him to any ges in prosperity, it wasn't anything worth w about.

  "The funds that the Fourth Hokage was going to approve for you today were intercepted by Danzo-dono. He told me to inform you to meet him at the Root base."

  The atmosphere instantly grew tense. Kakashi instinctively held his breath, feeling no warmth from the su's rays falling on him.

  Because of his position behind Gojo Kaigetsu, he couldn't see the expression on his face.

  But he could tell... that Gojo-sama's face must not look ght now.

  Kakashi quickly lowered his head.

  "Intercepting funds approved by the Fourth Hokage is ohing, but summonihe deputy ander of Konoha's Special Assassination Tactical Unit, to meet him at the Root base? Isn't he overstepping his bounds?"

  "What does he io do? Rebel? Is Minato the Fourth Hokage or is Danzo the Fourth Hokage?!"

  Gojo Kaigetsu spoke with a bnk expression.

  He had always known that Minato's position as the Fourth Hokage was not secure.

  There weren't many who were absolutely loyal to him and followed his orders. In the eyes of the major s of Konoha, his authority wasn't absolute. Now, Danzo had essentially shown his hand, telling Gojo Kaigetsu that Konoha's financial allocations were under his trol.

  After all, Minato was just a oner, despite being Jiraiya's disciple and sidered part of the Hokage's fa; he was still a oner. Even though his strength, talent, and character were well-suited for the role of Hokage, his background was still too shallow.

  The main reason he became Hokage was that he held the "nuclear unch button" of Konoha.

  Despite so many unfavorable factors, he was still the Hokage! Reized by the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, he was the Fourth Hokage in the eyes of Konoha's vilgers and the nominal leader of Konoha. How could Danzo dare to pull such a stunt?!

  Kakashi stood silently behind Gojo Kaigetsu, not daring to say a word. Today, Gojo Kaigetsu's presence felt even more oppressive than usual.

  'This level of pressure... a in really possess this?'

  Gojo-sama was officially recorded as a in, no doubt about it. Although his administrative abilities were on par with those of a Kage-level ninja, he was still somewhat g as a ninja.

  When it came to Konoha's internal power struggles, Kakashi chose to remain silent and py deaf, only wanting to leave this whirlpool quickly aurn home to secretly read the *Female Ninja's Dest into Hell* that he had purchased at a high price from the bck market.

  "In that case, Kakashi..."

  "Yes?"

  "Go and deliver a message to Danzo for me~," Gojo Kaigetsu said in a calm tooday, if he doesn't e to me and expin this matter clearly, tomorrow I'll take it up with the Fourth Hokage."

  "And who knows what unpleasant things might happen then."

  "Uood, Gojo-sama."

  "Mm, go ahead."

  Gojo Kaigetsu waved his hand, then suddenly seemed to remember something and called out to Kakashi, who was about to leave, "While you're at it, go to the Konoha Police Ford let Leader Fugaku know that dinner is set for tonight. Keep it casual. He should still be at work."

  Once again, Gojo Kaigetsu was alone in the empty president's office.

  He turned his head to look at the setting sun outside the window, feeling a headache ing on.

  "The Uchiha problem..."

  Despite his tinuous efforts to mediate, the flict between the Uchiha d Konoha tio deepen.

  Murphy's Law states that whatever g will g. From the moment the Sed Hokage established the Konoha Police Force, the seeds of distrust had already been sown.

  The vilge versus the Uchiha, the Uchiha versus the vilgers, and the vilge versus the vilgers...

  The hawkish voices within the Uchiha were growing louder and harder to igo the point where Gojo Kaigetsu could no longer avoid addressing the issue.

  "If the flict between the Uchiha d Konoha ultimately escates to the point of violehe vilge's prosperity will surely crumble."

  "Such a thing absolutely ot happen~"

  Gojo Kaigetsu tapped his fingers on the armrest of his chair, lost in thought. An article suitable for the current situation with the Uchiha began to form in his mind.

  "In that case... let's start by addressing the most fual flicts."
