  “Minato, you came to see this me today. Is there something you need?”

  Hiruzen Sarutobi puffed on his pipe, his face adorned with a benevolent smile.

  Indeed, just based on appearance, he seemed much more amiable than Danzo Shimura or Homura Mitokado.

  Siepping down from his position, Hiruzen Sarutobi appeared to have pletely relinquished his authority to Minato, no longer interfering in Konoha’s political affairs.

  However, a person’s reputation and influence, even without their scious effort, could still be leveraged by those with ulterior motives.

  “Third Hokage, it’s been a while.”

  After exging pleasantries, Minato produced the manuscript for “Adaptability.” “Please take a look.”

  “Oh? What’s this?”

  Hiruzen raised an eyebrow, surprised that Minato, with his busy schedule, had brought a manuscript on his rare visit.

  What could it be? Surely not a lewd magazine like those penned by that rascal Jiraiya.

  Hiruzen opehe manuscript and began reading, word by word.

  As he progressed, his expression grew increasingly peculiar, especially when he came across the term “secret police.”

  Without any explicit text, such a loaded term could easily be associated with the vilge’s ANBU Bck Ops. And the leader of the ANBU was her than the current Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi himself…

  Hiruzen narrowed his eyes. “Minato, this article… was written by that Gojo boy, wasn’t it?”

  “Yes.”

  Minato didn’t attempt to hide it.

  Because… Kaigetsu’s usual behavior, both spoken and written, always carried a distind easily reizable style.

  Hiruzen nodded, uanding the purpose of Minato’s visit.

  It was most likely due to the phrase “Secret Police.”

  Minato was a kind and straightforward individual, not proo beating around the bush. Hiruzehis well.

  Therefore, this was essentially a test from Gojo Kaigetsu.

  He could choose to protect his own influence by explicitly direg the ambiguous term towards Danzo. Or he could choose to turn a blind eye a slide.

  Without much hesitation, he made his choice.

  Hiruze down his pipe and csped his hands behind his back, fag the Hokage Rock.

  “Minato…”

  “I am a remnant of the old era. The new era has no brane.”

  “Don’t worry about my thoughts. Do what you believe is right, boldly and without hesitation!”

  Minato was taken aback. He stood up and positioned himself behind Hiruzen. “Yes, Third Hokage.”

  Looking at Hiruzen’s back, Minato thought to himself, “Kaigetsu-kun, you were wrong this time.”

  …

  …

  Several things happened in Konoha during those days.

  Firstly, the grand opening of “Ichiraku’s Ninja Tools” in the new ercial district. With its excellent craftsmanship and affordable prices, it quickly gaihe same reputation as Ichiraku Ramen.

  It geed a surge in spending among Konoha’s ninjas, tributing signifitly to the vilge’s tax revenue.

  Moreover, the owner of the ninja tools shop, Teuchi’s son, po search for substitutes for the main ingredient of the Body Tempering Potion within Konoha.

  If successful, they could manufacture ahe potion within the vilge, further bolstering Konoha’s ability to Create taijutsu specialists.

  It was a figurative sp in the faura Mitokado.

  Furthermore…

  An article titled “Not Stealing Soldier Pills Out of Hunger,” with an unknown source that even the ANBU couldn’t trace, began cirg withiurbulent undercurrents of Konoha.

  …

  …

  Samui’s Temporary Residence

  “Huh? A package for me?”

  Upon opening the unmarked package, Samui discovered a thick stack of cash inside.

  The sender aurn address were both from the Land of Flowers.

  Even with her ample bosom, she khis was aid from Kumogakure.

  “Eh? I didn’t request financial assistance…”

  Samui quickly ted the money. It was exactly ten million ryō.

  She quickly pieced together the cause and effect.

  Because she had mentioned a ferior that she would do her best to solidify Gojo Kaigetsu’s position as advisor, the vilge had allocated this substantial sum specifically for that purpose.

  Uanding the situation, Samui clutched the cash, feeling a warmth in her chest.

  The vilge… valued her words. They sent the money even though she hadn’t explicitly requested it.

  At least, in her experience, Samui had never heard of any deployed ninja receiving such a rge amount of support.

  While feeling grateful, Samui also felt the crushi of responsibility.

  “But… Gojo Kaigetsu’s advisor position ’t be secured with money alone.”

  Soon, Samui was once again troubled. She recalled Gojo Kaigetsu’s predit from a few days ago-having children.

  Surely, she couldn’t use this moo buy fertility-enhang potions…

  Absurd!

  Now, the vilge’s aid had arrived, but Samui still hadn’t devised a pn to utilize it.

  If Gojo Kaigetsu were ultimately removed from his advisor position… as a failed kunoichi, she wouldn’t have the face to return to Kumogakure.

  Samui was a kunoichi who alreached “ess.”

  After a few deep breaths, she began to ponder.

  As Gojo Kaigetsu had said, this was a deade by Konoha’s higher-ups. She couldn’t bear his child… at least not so soon, without any foundation of feelings.

  Then, si was a deade by the higher-ups, there must be a possibility of swaying them.

  A spark of iy ignited in Samui’s eyes. A daring idea formed in her mind-bribery!

  Back when she was a trainee in the ANBU, an instructor had once demonstrated a se-

  [A cup ced beside a running faucet. The instructor held the cup, repeatedly flipping it upside down, causing the water to flow in and out.]

  [Instructor: “Do you uand?”]

  [One of Samui’s cssmates answered: “You’re reminding us to prioritize and not be indecisive. We must diligently plete our ANBU missions to climb higher.”]

  [Samui’s answer, however, was: “If you don’t find the right approach, you ’t eve your foot in the door.”]

  In the end, Samui successfully graduated from the ANBU training program.

  That’s right, even if she wao bribe someone in Konoha, she o find the right approach, to cater to their preferences.

  As an outsider, btantly money would likely lead to her capture and interrogation in a dark and gloomy basement.

  “Koharu Utatane? No. Homura Mitokado? No. Danzo Shimura? Even worse.”

  “Is there someone in Konoha with siderable influence, someone whose words and as could signifitly impact Konoha’s decisions? Someone who wouldn’t raise suspis if offered money?”

  Information about Konoha rapidly fshed through Samui’s mind.

  As if guided by some unknown force, Samui touched her golden hair and gnced down at her ample bosom. In the shinobi world, there seemed to be a legendary kunoichi with simir hair color and physique.

  An absurd yet strangely pusible answer emerged in Samui’s mind-

  “Tsunade.”
