  Exiting the Hokage Tojo Kaigetsu smiled and walked towards Konoha Hospital. From a distance, he waved at Guy, whose arms were ed in bandages.

  “Yo! Guy, how’s your recovery ing along?”

  Might Guy, having spotted Gojo Kaigetsu, froze. He quickly turned his body, feigning ignorance, and made a dash for the hospital entrance.

  The painful experien the training grounds had given him a psychological scar regarding the Hokage’s advisor.

  Was that even human?

  I seds, he'd been elbowed over twenty times, the speed so fast that even with the Sixth Gate open, he couldn’t react, only managing to cross his arms in defense. He’d been elbowed into unsciousness, forcefully deactivating the Eight Gates.

  Even his hospital nightmares were haunted by flickering bck elbow strikes.

  Such a Hokage advisor… was utterly scary.

  And! And he was a in, right?! A in like that?!

  Even Might Guy, a taijutsu specialist, khe general upper and lower limits of in abilities. He was well aware that in the eyes of ojo Kaigetsu erceived as an ordinary in.

  He’d believed that with the Sixth Gate open, he was invincible amongst in, but he hadn’t expected someone like Gojo Kaigetsu to be even more ferocious.

  In the year Konoha 51, for the first time…

  “This kid, why does he run away at the sight of me?”

  Gojo Kaigetsu gnced around, notig that no one aying attention to him. He quietly activated Blue, his figure flickering before appearing behind Guy. He raised his hand and cpped him heavily on the shoulder.

  “Guy~ Your advisor is greeting you. Isn't it a bit rude to just run off without a word?”

  “Ah… Gojo-sensei… I didn’t notice you waving at me just now.”

  Might Guy’s heart pounded. He and Gojo Kaigetsu had been at least a hundred meters apart! Or had he seen wrong? How did he get behind him so fast…

  “Guy, I paid your hospital bills and even applied for a monthly stipend of 200,000 ryō for you from the Hokage. Are you sure you want to upset me?”

  Hearing the figure of 200,000 ryō, Guy’s eyes widened. He stopped in his tracks, the muscles in his injured arm suddenly feeling much lighter.

  Grinning, he revealed his pearly whites. “R-Really? 200,000 ryō? Gojo-sensei, if you have any requests, please don't hesitate to ask. The youthful Gree of the Might family never fears hardship.”

  “Actually, it’s nothing much. I just wao take you for a spin, to see how your dear friend Kakashi is doing o.”

  “Kakashi? O? What happeo him?”

  “You don’t know yet? Your dear friend is preparing to debut as a Konoha idol!”

  A short while ter, Gojo Kaigetsu led Might Guy to the outdoor set structed in the Land of Snow. Many Konoha vilgers, with time on their hands, had gathered to watch. Konoha fan children, with snack trays hanging from their necks, weaved through the crowd, selling treats.

  Among the onlojo Kaigetsu even spotted his old acquaintance, Genzo, enjoying the show with a bag of sunflower seeds.

  Travelers with tempreen cards and immigrants with perma green cards were also present.

  A film set, no matter the time or pce, always attracted a crowd, especially these out-of-towners who hadn’t seen the world of Konoha. From elders' fidants to travelers from small nations, no one was an exception.

  Might Guy, his hand still bandaged, stood on his tiptoes, trying to catch a glimpse of his dear friend.

  Gojo Kaigetsu, meanwhile, casually found a spot behind the crowd, using his height advao get an unobstructed view.

  The director from the Land of Snow seemed quite adept at adding drama. To emphasize the righteousness of [Kakashi saving ordinary Mist vilgers], he had even hired two extras, a man and a woman, to py a newlywed couple.

  [This newlywed couple, married for only three days, was mercilessly murdered by Cloud invaders. The Cloud invasion squad, havirated deep into the Land of Water, discovered this couple alessly blew them to pieces with explosive tags.]

  [Life, it's a bittersweet song, only love is eternal…]

  [The Cloud’s cruelty enraged Kakashi…]

  The crew had reached the climax of the se. Kakashi’s ninja uniform was tattered, his prop headband covered with kunai scratches. His deadpan eyes perfectly veyed the meaning of “forced to work.”

  At the director's signal, Kakashi removed his prop headband and, grabbing a branch, raised it high.

  The inscription on the prop headband articurly spicuous in the refracted light.

  “Ily evil Cloud ninja!”

  “Yes! Excellent ag!”

  “So moving!”

  “No matter where you are… this is Konoha!”

  Gasps of amazemeed from the crowd of Konoha natives and out-of-towners. The bold decration on the headband shocked the travelers, while the Konoha natives and perma green card holders puffed out their chests with pride.

  “Konoha’s War Shinobi” hadn’t even been released yet, but its impact was already subtly spreading amongst these people.

  ...

  “Kaigetsu-kun… What are you doing here?”

  From afar, Samui, having finished a day of arduous work, approached while rubbiiff shoulders.

  During the days when she couldray informatiojo Kaigetsu, she had been diligently fulfilling her duties as an undercover kunoichi.

  Through her extended cultural and intelligence work in Konoha, Samui had gradually gleaned some patterns in Konoha’s development. Based on these observations, she had devised several potentially beneficial policies for Kumogakure.

  Konoha seemed keen on promoting the positive image of the Hokage and war heroes as role models.

  There ur neer in Konoha called "Konoha News," which published heroic deeds, positive stories about the Hokage, a vilge policies.

  From Samui’s experie the publishing house, this model seemed quite effective.

  Kumogakure could adopt it without any risk!

  Lost ihoughts about how Kumogakure could be from implementing simir strategies, Samui’s first instinct upon seeing Gojo Kaigetsu was to avoid him. However, remembering that she had already divulged everything she could, further avoidance ointless. She steeled herself and approached him.

  She couldn’t lose this petition for Mei Terumi's favor!

  The crowd was thick, and the atmosphere lively. She could vaguely hear words like “Cloud,” “despicable,” and “bandit.” Samui took note of these, her curiosity piqued.

  “Oh, it’s Ai~ Off work? e watch the filming with me.”

  “Filming?”

  Samui stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Gojo Kaigetsu, finding a prime viewing spot.

  The director, seemingly dissatisfied with the actor opposite Kakashi, yelled “Cut!” and stepped forward to give instrus.

  “How many takes has this been?”

  “You represent the ninjas at the Konoha outpost, ready to provide support. Your rades are being attacked by Cloud ninja. You o deliver the order for a le attack with vi!”

  The director roared, “Fire!!”

  “You o yell it with passion, uand? With tears in your eyes, filled with rage!”

  Samui’s eyes narrowed.

  Cloud? What did the Cloud have to do with this?

  A quice at the set and the prop headband revealed that they were filming the i during the Mist rebellion, back when she was in Tanzaku Quarters.

  But… filming was ohing, why drag the Cloud through the mud? If the vilge elders found out about this director from the Land of Snow… hmph, he would be signing his owh warrant!

  Samui began to plot, devising a way to teach the director a lesson, to demonstrate that Kumogakure’s authority wasn't to be trifled with.

  As if readihoughts, Gojo Kaigetsu said with a sigh, "It's wonderful to have a film like this, spreading the words engraved on Konoha's headbands to the entire shinobi world."

  “Eh? The words on the back of the headbands?”

  At this point, Samui still hadn’t realized that the tent of her Heart-to-Heart chakra thread had been tampered with by Gojo Kaigetsu.

  “Yes, there’s a message on the back of the headbands: No matter where you are…”

  Hiss-

  “That’s… quite a bold decration, just like you, Kaigetsu-kun.” Samui smoothly delivered a pliment.

  She failed to notice the cold glint in Gojo Kaigetsu’s eyes beh his dark gsses.

  “Konoha’s War Shinobi” was made specifically for Kumogakure to see. By the time they realized the inscriptions on their headbands were pletely different… they would likely hold Samui atable.

  And then, Samui would discover the alteration of her chakra thread…

  Perhaps that would be the time for a plete showdown? Although it ity, all good things must e to an end. The game he ying with Samui was nearing its clusion.

  Gojo Kaigetsu had already tasted Samui’s initiative in Ai’s hospital room that day. , he would savor the moment the undercover kunoichi’s cover was blown.

  Unlimited Void deployed, followed by a merciless… ahem.

  Of course, if Samui reached her own clusions about the situation, the game could tinue.

  Gojo Kaigetsu gently stroked Samui’s smooth, golden hair as if petting a docile Persian cat.

  The performance tinued:

  [Fire-!!!]

  [Ugh! Aargh!]

  [The Cloud ninja who had ered Kakashi colpsed, their unsightly forms on full dispy.]

  Samui felt a wave of disfort. She forced herself to look away from the se that tarhe image of Cloud ninja.

  Their Cloud ninja, no matter how cruelly treated, would never dispy such weakness! Samui had already proven this duriime in the Konoha Hospital!

  Even now, with the lingering ache in her chest, she hadn't yielded then!

  Turning her head, she saw a bushy-browed, strangely dressed man in green spaears streaming down his face, his bandaged hands raised as he shouted about his dear friend and youth.

  Samui instinctively turned her head back, meeting Gojo Kaigetsu's downward gaze.

  "What's wrong, Ai? Don't you like it? I think this movie is quite eaining."

  "Eh, i-is that so? Actually, I… quite enjoy it too."

  Samui's face paled as she lied through her teeth. To witness her vilge being sndered right in front of the enemy… she was no longer pure.

  But as a spy, the mission aramount.

  She could py along too! She could feign indiffereowards her vilge!

  "If you enjoy it, then watch attentively. Don't look away~ Those who aren't attentive have to swallow a thousand times..." Gojo Kaigetsu wiggled his joined index and middle fingers.

  So inappropriate!!

  Seeing Gojo Kaigetsu’s gesture, Samui seemed to recall a scary memory. A blush, like the flush of drunkenness, spread across her fair face, and she turned her head away.

  Just then, an impassioned Konoha child shouted tearfully, "Go, Kakashi! Defeat the evil Cloud! Everyone, lend your chakra to Kakashi!"

  Cupping his hands around his mouth, Gojo Kaigetsu joihe cheer. "Defeat the evil Cloud!"

  As he shouted, he g Samui, urgio join in.

  Samui, suppressing her disfort and anguish, joihe t, each cry a stab at her sce.

  When the final reshoot of "Konoha's War Shinobi" was plete, the crowd gradually dispersed.

  Gojo Kaigetsu first told Samui to head home, then led Guy towards the Uchiha District.

  "Gojo-sensei, isn't this the Uchiha District? Why are ying me here?"

  "To meet your future colleagues~"

  "?"

  Along the way, the younger geion of Uchiha stopped to greet Gojo Kaigetsu with utmost respect.

  News of Gojo Kaigetsu’s visit to the Uchiha quickly spread throughout the district. Upon hearing the news, Fugaku, dressed in his Konoha Military Police Foriform, hurried over, followed by the familiar trio that Gojo Kaigetsu had previously taken for training.

  "Yo, Fugaku, long time no see." Gojo Kaigetsu waved with a smile and patted Guy’s back. "Here, Guy, the three behind the Uchiha Head are your future colleagues."

  "You all get along now~"

  "Ah… Oh… Colleagues."

  Guy hesitated, gng at himself, then at the three young Uchiha. He felt a siderable age gap between them, at least in terms of youthfulness.

  However, Guy quickly accepted this, revealing his bright smile and giving a thumbs-up. "Hello, everyone! We'll be colleagues in the Advisuard from now on."

  Leaving the future powerhouses of Konoha to mingle, Gojo Kaigetsu beed Fugaku towards the main house where Mikoto resided.

  "Oh, it's Kaigetsu-kun."

  "Mikoto-san, it's been a while."

  Gojo Kaigetsu gnced down, notig Mikoto’s noticeably rger belly pared to their st meeting.

  ‘Sasuke’s almost here~’

  Gojo Kaigetsu thought to himself as he and Fugaku sat down.

  "Gojo-kun, is there something you need?"

  Fugaku personally poured tea fojo Kaigetsu. Knowing that Gojo Kaigetsu never did anything without purpose, his sudden visit to the Uchiha during Danzo’s absence likely meant there was an important matter to discuss.

  Could it be… eradig Danzo's influehin Konoha? A glint fshed in Fugaku’s eyes. If so, he would be more than happy to cooperate.

  "I heard that the Military Police Force is holding open recruitment in a few days, no longer limited to members."

  "I~ would like to have a junior of mine, who isn't an Uchiha, join the Konoha Military Police Force~ I wonder if that’s possible?"

  "...If that’s your request, Gojo-kun, it’s naturally no problem. Just give me the ninja’s information." Fugaku’s hand paused slightly as he poured the tea, a gentle smile on his face.

  Let alone one ninken joining the force, even ten would be fih him.

  A position sidered a highly desirable, secure job by ordinary Konoha vilgers was so easily promised away.

  "Eh, don't say that." Gojo Kaigetsu waved his hand. "The necessary procedures still o be followed, and the assessments must be taken. The main issue is that this ninja may not be able to e to wurly. His ninken will have to clo for him."

  "That's also...acceptable. Does this ninja have any distinguishiures?"

  "Eh, what are you saying, Fugaku? If you know his distinguishiures, you’ll defireat him differently! Don't make me it a mistake~"

  "I came here today specifically to give you a heads-up!"

  "During the interview, I’ll be standing behind him, whether your Konoha Military Police Force ducts the interview fairly and impartially!"
