Naruto: Did i Just Get Reincarnated as Gojo?

Chapter 1: Konoha Store Attack!

[Konoha's Ninja Village was plunged into darkness as a store was suddenly attacked by bandits.]

[Soon after, the store owner announced over the intercom, "For the safety of our customers and to avoid any trampling incidents, you may take the items in your hands for free as compensation for this unfortunate attack. Please exit the store in an orderly manner." Upon hearing this, the villagers left the store in a calm and orderly fashion.]

[When Konoha's reinforcements arrived, the store owner was shocked to find the cash registers filled with bills ranging from hundreds to tens of thousands of ryō. It turned out that after the announcement, the conscientious villagers of Konoha had estimated the value of the goods they held and left the appropriate amount of money behind before leaving. What a civilized, harmonious, honest, polite, and friendly ninja village!]

[An anonymous official commented on this, saying, "The strength of a ninja village is not determined by the number of powerful ninjas it has, but by the values of its people. Clearly, Konoha has achieved this, as even when given the opportunity to take goods for free, they still chose to pay! If I were a ninja, I would feel genuine happiness in protecting such kind-hearted people!"]

"Lord Fourth Hokage, Gojo Kaigetsu reporting as per your orders."

Gojo Kaigetsu entered the Hokage's office, standing straight with his hands clasped behind his back, facing the blond man in front of him, who was dressed in ceremonial robes.

"Kaigetsu, I've told you before, just call me Minato in private."

"That wouldn't be appropriate, Lord Hokage. When working, we should address each other by title."

Minato Namikaze waved his hand, refusing to communicate with Gojo Kaigetsu in a superior-subordinate manner.

After finishing the first article in the magazine titled Iroha, Minato raised his head with a peculiar expression, looking at his former comrade and friend.

He couldn't help but ask, "Kaigetsu... Is this the 'Invasion of the Four Great Nations' plan you requested 3.5 billion ryō for? From a conceptual standpoint, it seems feasible..."

Minato hesitated, aware that as the Hokage, he needed to consider the bigger picture and avoid favoritism, even with someone like Gojo Kaigetsu. 3.5 billion ryō was no small amount, and he needed a compelling reason to approve it.

Gojo Kaigetsu nodded solemnly. "Yes, this is my plan. I've already paved the way for distribution routes to the major nations. Wind, Water, Lightning, and Earth. Due to time constraints, the smaller nations' channels will be established later. All we need now is money to make it happen."

"Also, the article on the front page was written by me, while the rest are standard pieces. But even this much is sufficient."

"I'm concerned that if we push too hard, it might alert the other four ninja villages."

Gojo Kaigetsu tapped his temple with his index finger. "All related articles are already written and stored in my mind, ready for weekly or monthly publication. By the time the four great ninja villages realize what's happening, it will be too late."

Minato nodded thoughtfully, refraining from discussing the funding immediately. Instead, the straightforward man voiced his curiosity:

"The store mentioned in your article, which one is it?"

"If they made such a decision during a rogue ninja attack, I believe as Hokage, I should reward them."

"And this anonymous official, which Fire Country minister is it?"
