Naruto, aspiring to become a well-known figure in the ninja world

Didn’t you see that the Fourth Hokage was very polite when he met the Fire Nation envoys representing the daimyo?

but……

This guy Gojo Kegetsu is not a ninja in the traditional sense at all. He has no awareness or ethics of a ninja at all.

He has operations in both the black and white worlds.

In fact, he secretly colluded with and bribed many nobles and ministers of the Fire Nation.

It was said that there were several powerful samurai bandits entrenched near the capital. Gojo Jieyue personally led the ninja to "suppress" them, but it didn't take long for a new group of bandits to appear near the capital with their faces covered.

Even a disobedient "special envoy" like him would often have burly men with tattoos of dragons and tigers roaming around the base where he lived.

It’s hard to imagine that there would be such a cheap ninja!

Whenever he thought of this, Ichiro Koyama would feel so angry that he trembled and felt cold all over.

"Oh~ It's Xiaoshan-kun~ What do you want to talk to me about?"

Gojo Jieyue skillfully took out a kunai from the drawer with his free hand, put it on his index finger and rotated it in circles leisurely.

After traveling through time, Gojo Jieyue always had this question: How could an ordinary person like a maggot dare to order the ninja master?

Before Gojo Kegetsu took this position, these special envoys representing the daimyo were all blood-sucking bugs lying on the big tree of Konoha.

Every day, the energy sucked away his five-month life.

Asking for money, ordering ninjas to serve as their free labor, trying to promote bureaucracy, and laymen guiding experts in the administration of ninja villages... let’s not talk about these for now.

They even dared to ask Konoha to provide decent girls to dance while they drank and ate meat. The most outrageous thing they did was to ask Konoha's female ninjas to do some unnecessary things.

Even he, Gojo Jieyue, hasn’t enjoyed his life yet!

How dare they.

It's as if the people who were born and raised in the ninja world are naturally acquiescent with such things.

But soon, Gojo Kegetsu used some ninja methods to subdue these special envoys.

"It's like this, Advisor Gojo." Koyama Ichiro rubbed his hands and showed an expression that you know what I mean: "That~ before the publishing house settled in Konoha Village, we agreed on the 70% to 30% profit split..."

"Oh, it's about money."

Gojo Jieyue nodded without denying, "It's time to divide the money. I'll have the financial specialist contact you later. The 30% of the profit that belongs to the daimyo won't be reduced by a single cent."

Thirty percent?

Koyama Ichiro's smile froze, and he blurted out, "Why only 30%? You got it wrong, Mr. Gojo. We agreed before that Konoha Village would get 30% and the daimyo would get 70%. That's why I agreed to the publishing house moving into Konoha."

"Really? Maybe you heard it wrong~" Gojo Jieyue put away the smile on his face, stuck the kunai into the solid wood table, and leaned forward:

"Even this 30% depends on my mood. Xiaoshan-kun, are you sure you want to make me feel bad today?"

"I...you..."

Ichiro Koyama's face turned as red as liver, and he knew in his heart that Gojo Kegetsu didn't want to speak according to the rules.

But...he really couldn't say no.

Gojo Jieyue nodded with satisfaction: "It seems that Xiaoshan-kun really remembered it wrongly. You should exercise more to avoid memory loss."

These small groups of special envoys have embezzled a lot of special funds from the Fire Nation and have plenty of money.

The system's prompts are irrefutable evidence!

In the past, Gojo Jieyue had no power, but now, he has to use a blunt knife to cut the flesh off the special envoys bit by bit.

"Maybe I remembered it wrongly." Xiaoshan Ichiro took a deep breath:

"Well, the printing work is also done. Over the past period of time, the workers' calls for wage adjustments have been growing louder and louder. In order to respond to the workers' expectations, Gojo-kun, do you think we should..."

Ichiro Koyama rubbed his hands again.

Gojo Jieyue had a pretty good attitude towards the firewood, so he definitely couldn't refuse such a reason.

After the salary increase, he has plenty of means to launch a salary recovery plan. This part of the money can also be regarded as an explanation to the interest groups behind him.

As for deducting money from his personal account? Absolutely impossible!

I'm so tired, so alone

Unexpectedly, Gojo Jieyue responded at a rapid speed almost the second after he made his request:

"I didn't think well enough."

"In order to respond to the workers' eager anticipation for wage adjustments, I, Gojo Jieyue, have listened to everyone's opinions and, after careful study, have decided—"

"From today on, the workers' wages will be reduced by 1000 taels per month!"

Volume 24: "Adaptability Required for Living in the Ninja World"

"No, how can it be lowered?"

"If it's lowered, isn't it an adjustment?" Gojo Jieyue looked unhappy:

"I am a kind-hearted person. Not only will the wages be reduced, but the workers will also receive at least one cent less. I will leave the coordination of funds to you, Mr. Xiaoshan."

Ichiro Koyama's face became darker and darker. Not only did he not get paid, but he was also asked to pay for firewood?

He suppressed his anger and said, "Then you see, the matter of giving bonuses to outstanding workers..."

“That’s true.”

Gojo Jieyue nodded again: "Each imitation printer will be rewarded with a Konoha Village residence, or they can choose to discount it to 1 million taels."

"oh?!"

Ichiro Koyama's expression changed dramatically. When he heard the decision made by Gojo Kegetsu, a smile as beautiful as a chrysanthemum bloomed on his face.

Misunderstanding cleared!

It turns out that everything just now was a misunderstanding. The reward is waiting here.

But just to be on the safe side, Ichiro Koyama still asked tentatively: "Does every model worker get this reward?"

"There are so many outstanding workers in our publishing house, and it is not realistic to reward every model. So, let me add some preconditions -"

"Age: 24, height: meters, hair should be white."

"Those who meet the above conditions can go to the finance department to report and claim the prize. By the way, this prize money also needs to be coordinated by Xiaoshan-kun. The 70% of the profit that belongs to our Konoha cannot be reduced by a single cent~"

24 years old? meters tall? Hair must be white?

Ichiro Koyama's brain seemed to be stuck for a moment.

He came to his senses, and the anger in his heart broke through his fear of Gojo Jieyue: "Gojo Jieyue, you are going too far!"

"Are there still village laws?! Do you really think that Konoha is your sole authority?!"

"Just wait! I'm going to go to Elder Danzo and Elder Menyan to impeach you!"

bang——

Ichiro Koyama slammed the door and left, leaving only his angry voice echoing in Gojo Kezuki's office.

[You have protected the rights and interests of Konoha Village, prosperity +3]

"Humph, I don't know what it means."

Gojo Kezuki's body suddenly relaxed, and he didn't take Koyama Ichiro's threat seriously at all.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly. After being interrupted by Ichiro Koyama, Gojo Jieyue was inspired.

The content of the next issue of "Yimu" gradually took shape in Gojo Jieyue's mind.

The invasion plans of the four major powers are divided into multiple dimensions.

Attracting foreign businessmen to invest in Konoha is just one of them.

Another purpose is to inspire the "resistance" and "progress" will of the workers and ninja classes of the four major countries.

Let them know that they are free!

In the final analysis, it can be summed up in one word: "chaos"

“The messier, the better.”

Gojo Jieyue grabbed a pen and paper and immediately wrote down the inspiration in his mind.

This time, Yimu is also a fake story, but with specific names appearing in the story——

That’s him, Gojo Jieyue!

Swish, swish, swish, the pen tip rubbed against the paper, and sharp words were generated on the paper:

["Adaptability Required for Living in the Ninja World"]

[There is a special ninja in the Konohagakure of the Land of Fire. His name is Gojo Kegetsu]

[Gojo Kegetsu has a positive sense of challenge. He never has a day off and works more than 18 hours a day, which is twice as much as other ninjas.]

[This made him a professional Genin at the age of 14, a Chunin at the age of 16 and entered the Hokage Building to work, and at the age of 24 he became the Hokage advisor of Konohagakure. At the same time, he was also the youngest and weakest Hokage advisor since the establishment of Konohagakure.]

[Gojo Kegetsu became the only "Ninja Legend" in the entire Ninja World who became the Hokage's advisor as a Chunin]

[Today, I want to talk about the story of Gojo Kegetsu. It is not about the magnificent battles between ninjas, but about the story of Gojo Kegetsu's pursuit of "freedom" before he became the Hokage's advisor.]

[Gojo Kegetsu was not a ninja who kept to himself. Before and after the Third Ninja World War, he was not only concerned about the plight of his friends' families, but also the major political issues facing the village.]

[In the 50th year of Konoha, during the Konoha-Kirikura peace talks, Konoha did not ask for any compensation for the various intrusions that Kirigakure had in the past, and was eager to normalize relations between Konoha and Kirigakure]

[The villagers of Konoha were furious, and the protests were getting louder and louder. As an ordinary Chunin leader, Gojo Kegetsu was always at the front of the protests, but in the end he was arrested and imprisoned by Konoha's "secret police"]

[One day in the 50th year of Konoha, Gojo Kegetsu heard that his good friend Namikaze Minato came to visit him in prison, and he felt uneasy. He was ready to accept criticism from his friend. It was not easy for him to become a Chunin, and now he was "causing trouble" and ran to prison. Namikaze Minato would definitely be very sad and disappointed.]

[But no. Namikaze Minato looked at Gojo Kegetsu first, then ran up to him and grabbed his hand. Then there was a silence... After a long time, Gojo Kegetsu said as if he had made a great decision: "Gojo, I believe you are right. Just do whatever you want!"]

[After saying that, Namikaze Minato let go of his hand and hurried to the battlefield that belonged to him]

[In twenty minutes, Namikaze Minato only said this one sentence, this one sentence to comfort Gojo Kezuki]

[But this has made Gojo Kegetsu understand that Namikaze Minato recognized his free will.]

[Later, Namikaze Minato became the Fourth Hokage of Konohagakure. And Gojo Keizuki became his Hokage advisor.]

[In response to this, an unnamed minister commented: "It is precisely because of the courage of the Chunin Gojo Kegetsu to pursue freedom of speech, and the broad-mindedness of the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze, that the Hidden Leaf Village has become a powerful hidden village that the Land of Fire is proud of. If a village chooses to stifle the will of the ninjas to pursue freedom, it is undoubtedly a failed ninja village."]

[“Even if something like this happens again, I will stand by Gojo Jieyue without hesitation. I will encourage him mentally and even allow him to use force as a ninja to win the right to pursue free will!”]

Snapped--

Several hours passed and the sun set.

Gojo Jieyue loosened his grip on the pen, held the manuscript paper with both hands, read it from top to bottom with a lingering look, and finally nodded with satisfaction.

"That's right, the Ninja Village must have freedom of speech!"

Gojo Jieyue touched his chin, although he didn't know what exactly happened in the Hidden Cloud Village.

but if……

Given Raikage Ai's hot-tempered personality, will he punish those ninjas who have read the banned books?

And what kind of sparks would be ignited in those ninjas who were punished for reading banned books after reading his article advocating freedom of speech?

Gojo Jieyue fantasized about a bright future.

thump—

The familiar, masked, white-haired ninja Kakashi appeared behind him again and brought bad news -

"Gojo-sama, the Yondaime requires you to go to the Hokage building now."

"Elder Danzo is leading a special envoy to impeach you."
