  That night, Gojo Kaigetsu returned home.

  “What?! You’re saying you want to leave the vilge?!”

  This time, Gojo Kaigetsu was genuinely surprised. He instinctively suspected that Samui had discovered something and nning to escape…

  That wouldn't do! It wasn’t time for the undercover kunoichi to be caught yet!

  ‘Six Eyes, activate-!’

  Huh?

  Why was the Heart-to-Heart unication chakra thread sealed?

  ‘System log, activate-!’

  Samui's impa prosperity was still recorded as boosting High Academy Publishing House's success…

  “Where do you want to go?”

  The question slipped out, but seemingly worried that his tone might arouse Samui’s suspi, Gojo Kaigetsu expined:

  “It’s too chaotic outside now. I’m worried about your safety if you go elsewhere.”

  Gojo Kaigetsu seized the opportunity to grasp Samui’s delicate hand, his gaze sincere and fervent, making Samui avert her eyes unfortably.

  ‘He smells strongly of alcohol.’

  “It’s nothing specific. Just a friend in the Land of Flowers invited me to Tanzaku Quarters.”

  Tanzaku Quarters?

  Tsunade?

  The familiar pame instantly reminded Gojo Kaigetsu of the number one woman in the shinobi world, the ideal woman in many men’s eyes. And the little something that had happened between them…

  His Six Eyes looked at Samui with a strange expression.

  Samui and Tsunade… he had a feeling they would create some unusual sparks…

  Gojo Kaigetsu’s sixth seold him that Samui’s sudden request to visit Tanzaku Quarters must be somehow ected to Tsunade.

  “Oh~ I see~”

  “You go, but I’m still worried about your safety. I’ll have a ninja escort you.”

  Yes!

  Samui was inwardly delighted. She hadn’t expected to get permission so easily, rendering her prepared excuses useless.

  “That’s… wouldn’t that be too much trouble? I heard ninjas are usually busy with missions.”

  “Nonsense, I’m the one who assigns missions. The vilge ninjas are here to serve important people like me.”

  Gojo Kaigetsu fidently grabbed a mission scroll and started writing with his brush:

  “Ess. Gojo Ai to Tanzaku Quarters and ensure her safety throughout the journey.”

  “Mission Rank: k, Bounty: 100,000 ryō, Special Requirement: Only female ninjas accept this mission.”

  After writing this, Gojo Kaigetsu tossed the brush aside and casually draped his arm around Samui’s voluptuous shoulders. “Ai, have you ever sidered being a different kind of person since meeting me?”

  “?”

  Samui’s pupils stricted.

  What was he implying?! Had her request to visit Tanzaku Quarters aroused his suspi after all?

  Was he trying to turn her? Unfortunately… Gojo Kaigetsu uimated her, Samui’s, unwavering ninja way!

  “Eh? Why do you ask? What kind of person?”

  Samui’s heart pounded with vigince, almost halluating the se of her killing Gojo Kaigetsu with a sirike after being exposed.

  “Of course… being my woman.”

  “There have been rumors in High Academy Publishing House tely… that you’re my woman. I’d like to crify that those aren’t rumors~”

  ‘…!’ Samui had already prepared herself for death.

  But instead of exposing her, Gojo Kaigetsu uttered such… cheesy lihat even the Raikage wouldn’t be caught dead saying.

  “It’s still too, too soon, Kaigetsu-kun,” she politely deed.

  Gojo Kaigetsu wasn’t bothered by the reje. He gave a mysterious smile. “Ai, do you know about a certai jutsu from Kumogakure?”

  “Secret jutsu… what is it?”

  Matters ing her vilge made Samui’s expression turn serious.

  Could it be that Konoha ninjas had infiltrated Kumogakure and stolen their jutsu? If that were true, the sequences would be dire.

  “Let me demonstrate it for you, Ai.”

  Gojo Kaigetsu spoke affeately, then suddenly moved.

  “Ninja Art: Hell Thrust - Two-Fingered Spear Hand!!”

  “Yame…”

  “Damn, such tight defehen try this!”

  “Ninja Art: Hell Thrust - One-Fingered Spear Hand!!”

  “Not there…Nnngh ahhh, Oh ho ho ho ho?--”

  …

  “When did it all begin?”

  Danzo Shimura and Homura Mitokado were hidden in the shadows of a teahouse.

  Their faces were grim as they discussed the unusual trend that had retly emerged in Konoha.

  The pn to suppress the Uchiha was something they had formuted long ago and had been persistently implementing.

  Eveively Uchiha-friendly Fourth Hokage’s assion couldn’t stop their pn.

  Their strategies included, but were not limited ting for pnted spies to be arrested ao the Konoha Military Police Force, only to be released and spread malicious rumors about the Uchiha; arranging for the elderly, weak, and disabled to stage acts and bme the Uchiha officers…

  They had anticipated many sarios.

  They had sidered the Uchiha resisting with force, colluding with enemy vilges, or even a lunatic within the wiping out their own…

  But they had never imagihat the Uchiha’s reputation, which had been taro a level parable to the average skin tone of Kumogakure, could be reversed.

  “This is serious, Danzo! It’s too te to trace the source,” Homura adjusted his reading gsses. “The ily evil Uchiha have learo disguise themselves.”

  “If those foolish vilgers truly believe the Uchiha’s lies, it will bee extremely difficult to elimihem.”

  “This s the future of our Konoha!”

  Danzo’s face darkened as he impatiently retorted, “Of course I know that, but do you have any solutions now?”

  “I have a pn to ter the Uchiha-”

  “Tell me quickly!”

  “The Anti-Uchiha Awareness Act!”

  Homura adjusted his reading gsses again. “I’ve summarized the main ges in public opinion into four points. I io address them one by one.”

  “Firstly, we ention that ‘secret ninjas’ trol Konoha’s will.”

  “Sedly, we ot say that ‘secret ninjas’ are perseg the Uchiha in Konoha.”

  “Thirdly, we ot criticize the previous Hokage's political fa, led by the Third Hokage. Criticism is equivalent to colluding with forces outside the Uchiha and is an act of treason!”

  “Fourthly, ‘Three Years in the Ninja Academy’ is illegal because it subtly implies that ‘secret ninjas’ persecuted the Uchiha. Anyone discussing this book in public will be arrested ao the… Root’s prison!”

  Hiss-

  Danzo couldn’t help but gasp.

  As expected of his trusted friend, Homura Mitokado!

  Despite his mediocre talent as a ninja, when it came to Konoha’s politics, especially dealing with the Uchiha, he was a true treasure!

  Hearing these eous proposals, Danzo felt as if he had been transported back to the Warring States Period before the vilge’s founding.

  He instinctively g his own ninja headband. It felt as if it wasn’t Konoha’s emblem imprinted on it, but rather… the insignia of the “secret ninja” Root.

  “Homura… it’s a good pn, but it’s a bit too extreme for the current situation.”

  “I’m not the Hokage yet. Implementing the act requires the Hokage’s approval, and with the Fourth’s personality, passing su act is unrealistic.”

  “If I were Hokage, I would definitely adopt ygestions.”

  Danzo shook his head, seemingly recalling something, and said with frustration:

  “Hmph, if not for Hiruzen’s indecisive nature, how could the Uchiha have grown to this point?”

  “If Sensei had chosen me back then…”

  Seeing his old friend starting to reminisce, Homura quickly interrupted, “Then what should we do? Without the vilge’s authority, we ’t stop the Uchiha’s reputation from rec.”

  “Don’t doubt my resolve in dealing with the Uchiha, Homura.”

  “Root was fouo operate in the shadows, resolving Konoha’s crises.”

  “Sihe Fourth Hokage won’t cooperate…”

  “I’ll dispatch Root ninjas to visit those smaller s.”

  “As for you, Homura, you’ll be responsible for influeng the vilgers’ versations using our old methods.”
