"Uzumaki Kushina, this is too disrespectful!"

  Namikaze Minato quickly stopped his wife from her impulsive as.

  Gojo Kaigetsu, however, didn’t seem to mind at all and shrugged his shoulders. He flipped his chopsticks around and tapped them lightly: "It’s a woman, but she’s not one of my members."

  "Huh?!"

  The couple excimed in unison, their voices full of fusion. Kushina was the first to speak up: "Not a member? Then... is she someone who admires your reputation and is pretending to be a member to enjoy some bes?"

  "No, that's not it."

  Gojo Kaigetsu casually picked up a bite of food and put it in his mouth: "She’s a spy sent by the Kumogakure. Her goal is to impersonate a member of the Gojo family to gain my trust and gather information about the Konohagakure."

  "What?! A spy! How did she infiltrate Konoha? How could the Hyuga 's ninja not notiything wrong?"

  At the mention of this dangerous term, Namikaze Minato's fastantly became serious: "How strong is she? We should send the Anbu to capture her immediately..."

  "Minato, you're being too hasty."

  "As Hokage, you should think carefully before speaking about such matters!"

  "Sit down and enjoy the meal Kushina made for you."

  Gojo Kaigetsu reprimanded.

  When it es to work, he respects the authority, but when they're off duty, he’s the boss, and Namikaze Minato is sed-in-and!

  Only when Minato bees a mature Hokage will the is of the Konohagakure be maximized, bringing tinuous prosperity to Gojo Kaigetsu!

  "I got carried away."

  After refleg on his knee-jerk reainato sat back down and quickly uood the implication of Gojo Kaigetsu’s words.

  "Kaigetsu, are you pnning to turables and use the Kumogakure’s spy against them?"

  "Exactly."

  "I’m just giving you a heads-up so that one day if she uses the Gojo o get something important from you, you won’t be caught off guard."

  "Such a thing... is impossible."

  Minato chuckled and shook his head, though curiosity got the better of him: "Even the Hyuga ’s ninja didn’t see through the Kumogakure’s spy. Kaigetsu, I’m really curious how you figured it out."

  "That's... a secret. Secrets make a ninja more of a ninja."

  "Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. Let’s eat."

  "So, Kaigetsu, what do you pn to do with that Kumogakure ninja spy?"

  Kaigetsu paused his chopsticks for a moment, then revealed a meaningful smile: "Don’t miss a good kunoichi, and don’t waste a bad one."

  ....

  The day.

  Samui, with a look of disbelief on her face, was brought into the High Academy Publishing House by Gojo Kaigetsu.

  Ihis dipidated-looking building were advanced printing presses that were stantly printing forbidden books aimed at her vilge, the Kumogakure.

  No, it wasn’t just the Kumogakure, but also the Hidden Sand, Hidden Mist, and Hidden Stone Vilges...

  It was only now that Samui realized that the High Academy Publishing House president, whom the Raikage had ordered her to eliminate, was actually Gojo Kaigetsu, another of her mission targets!

  What oh is this guy up to?!

  As he printed so many forbidden books, what...

  Gojo Kaigetsu suddenly turned his head and g the seemingly dazed Samui, then spoke in a lecherous tone: "Hehe, Ai, this is my secret business."

  "I’m tinuously printing these forbidden books to be sent to the Freat Nations."

  *Smack-*

  Gojo Kaigetsu’s hand smmed down heavily on a newly printed book still smelling of ink, and he greedily said: "Do you know how much money I make from these books? The cost of one book is just one hundred ryō, but the selling price is over ten thousand ryō!"

  "The money I’ve earned could eveacked into a wall. The Hokage of Konoha and the Anbu have no idea about this, otherwise, I’d be in big trouble~"

  This guy...

  Samui felt even more disgusted, to the point where her fair skin, hidden under her clothes, was covered in goosebumps.

  Even as a ninja from an enemy vilge, she deeply despised Gojo Kaigetsu. Useless, lecherous, and now greedy-he was an insult to the ninja name!

  If they were in the Kumogakure, Samui would have likely tied Gojo Kaigetsu to a post without hesitation, then spread her long legs and stomped her boot down hard on his detestable face!

  But even she didn’t realize that her inal suspi of Gojo Kaigetsu’s ulterior motives had quietly faded.

  "Of course, Ai, you’re not responsible for these. What you o do is ehe printing of a certain article~"

  "Hmm? What article?"

  Despite her extreme disappoi, Samui’s ninja instincts made her highly sensitive to terms like "responsible" and "task."

  Even when a task was given by someone like Gojo Kaigetsu, o was defined as a mission, she would still strive to plete it with all her might. Gojo Kaigetsu didn’t hide anything and immediately pulled out the article he had writteher night at the request of Uchiha Fugaku.

  "Take a look, Ai. This is an article that the Uchiha of Konoha secretly issioned me to print."

  "If I fail to plete the ission, they might even kill me!" Gojo Kaigetsu theatrically portrayed the image of a weak, helpless, and pitiful ninja, his words dripping with fear and dissatisfa towards the Uchiha .

  ‘Hmph, someone like you deserves to die.’

  Samui first pined inwardly, then silently he new intelligence: 1. Gojo Kaigetsu and the Uchiha have a poor retionship, which suggests that the Uchiha 's retionship with Konoha’s higher-ups is very tense; 2. The Uchiha is quite arrogant, even privately daring to threaten the life of a Hokage advisor.

  Then, Samui set aside her personal feelings, and her curiosity iqued. What kind of article would make the Uchiha go to such lengths to keep it secret? Could it be... some kind of decration of rebellion?

  If that were the case, it would be an incredible discovery.

  Her eyes fell oicle, and she was immediately drawn in by the title-

  *"Not Stealing Soldier Pills Due to Hunger"*

  ‘Huh? What kind of title is that?’

  Samui was initially puzzled. While ninjas generally didn’t have high levels of education, they could at least uand the basic meaning of words. She reized each character, but when put together, they veyed a strange meaning.

  ‘Fet it, I’ll read on...’

  *["The 39th year of Konoha was the most eically depressed period in the vilge's history..."]*

  Samui’s gaze slowly moved dowicle. Her brows first furrowed, then rexed, and soon, her expression was filled with fusion.

  ‘Elderly stealing soldier pills, Konoha’s Police Department, leading the donation efforts... What is this all about? The Uchiha is printing such a b article?’

  Unsciously, Samui’s assessment of the Uchiha grew more critical. As one of the most famous ninja s in the world, instead of printing something bold that promotes their ideology, they chose this historical reminisce...

  ‘Are they reminisg about the past?’

  ‘This is the ninja world! The Uchiha are so weak and cowardly!’

  Samui cluded her assessment of the Uchiha .
