Naruto: Did i Just Get Reincarnated as Gojo?

Chapter 3: The Book You're Reading is Truly Harmful!

"Last week, we printed an additional 996 copies of *Ninja Girls Descend to Hell*, all of which have been sent to Iwagakure."

"*Hidden Chronicles of Female Ninja*. a total of 1,000 copies. has also been printed and will be sent to Kirigakure for sale next week."

"And *Young Ninja Kodai* and *Bright Ninjutsu* have already been sent to Kumogakure and Sunagakure, respectively..."

Sitting at the head of the meeting room table, Gojo Kaigetsu casually cracked some sunflower seeds as he listened to his subordinates' reports, nodding in satisfaction.

[1. You have poisoned the minds of Iwagakure's ninja. Prosperity: +20]

[2. You have poisoned the minds of Kirigakure's ninja. Prosperity: +20]

[...]

Listen to that. What a sweet sound.

Boosting prosperity can also be achieved by affecting external environments. Simply put, weakening the enemy = strengthening oneself.

[4. You have poisoned the minds of Kumogakure's ninja. Prosperity: +5]

"Hmm?"

Gojo Kaigetsu furrowed his brow, sensing something was amiss.

Every other village's weakening brought Konoha a prosperity boost of 20 points. But for Kumogakure, why only 5?

"Yamashita, bring me a copy of the book we sent to Kumogakure this week."

"Y-yes, sir!"

Yamashita, the chief editor of the High Academy Publishing House, wiped the sweat from his brow as he quickly fetched a copy of *Young Ninja Kodai* from the printing room and handed it to Gojo Kaigetsu. Then he stepped back, cautiously observing Gojo Kaigetsu's expression.

Chief Editor Yamashita had deep respect for Gojo Kaigetsu.

First, he was an ordinary person, while Gojo was a ninja; second, Gojo held a high position in Konoha, with titles like "Shadow Hokage" and "Konoha's Mastermind" among their circles; third, distributing such borderline illegal books to the other major nations could easily get them wanted.

Gojo Kaigetsu flipped through the book carelessly. It was exactly as per his instructions. no quality issues whatsoever.

So, the problem wasn't with the book itself. Where, then, was the issue? Gojo Kaigetsu fell into deep thought.

Yamashita took a step forward and cautiously suggested, "Sir, recently, the borders of the four great nations have seen new patrol teams, and many of our books have been seized. Should we perhaps... grease some palms?"

Gojo Kaigetsu waved his hand dismissively. "You handle those matters yourself. Use the funds from the accounts as you see fit. The main goal is to get the books over there. I don't care how much profit or loss we incur."

"I ask you, has anything happened recently in Kumogakure?"

"Kumogakure?"

Yamashita drew in a sharp breath, thinking how astute Gojo Kaigetsu was, as if he had eyes everywhere.

"Yes, specifically in Kumogakure, our books have faced the strictest scrutiny."

"I fear... we're reaching a breaking point. If we keep pushing, we might get exposed and end up on a wanted list."

"Then let them issue a warrant." Gojo Kaigetsu shrugged. "The publishing house is under your name. If something goes wrong, it has nothing to do with me."
