"Next!"

"Madam, please put your clothes on, roll your tongue back in, tuck away your lightning pouch, and tie up your hair! Don't try to tempt this official."

"Denied."

"Next."

"Approved. Pay the..."

Gojo Kaigetsu distributed the Konoha Green Cards at an astonishing speed.

He carefully selected elites among the Land of Water refugees.

Skilled workers, wealthy merchants, and seemingly ordinary civilian ninja... These individuals, who paid a hefty price to obtain Green Cards and join Konoha, quickly integrated into the village, becoming nutrients for the roots, fostering the growth of new leaves.

It was a new era led by Gojo Kaigetsu, imbuing the Will of Fire with a fresh meaning.

Standing at the entrance, Asuma Sarutobi watched the accumulating funds with astonishment.

Before Gojo-sama arrived, the Land of Water refugees hadn't shown much enthusiasm for joining Konoha; some even resisted the idea. The prevailing sentiment was to wait for the turmoil to subside before returning to their homeland.

Why the sudden change of heart?

To put it bluntly, was Konoha truly that great? Were these wealthy merchants willing to empty their coffers, skilled workers signing ten-year low-wage contracts, and civilian ninja signing mission contracts... all for a Konoha Green Card?

Sometimes, Asuma felt like the shinobi world had gone mad. He couldn't comprehend the mindset of these Land of Water defectors.

Of course, Gojo Kaigetsu wasn't just accepting any ninja. He rejected a considerable number of refugees, Those denied were advised to turn right and head towards the Kumogakure outpost.

Outside the tent, thousands of refugees still awaited their Green Card applications.

Based on rough estimates, in just one afternoon, Gojo Kaigetsu had extracted over a hundred million ryō in cash from the Land of Water refugees through the Green Card policy.

The logistics Genin reported that their storage scrolls were almost full.

"That's a wrap!" Gojo Kaigetsu handed out the last Green Card, declaring the day's work officially over. "Unfortunately, not a single ninja from a Kekkei Genkai family. Kirigakure sure keeps a tight leash on them."

He stretched languidly and instructed, "Asuma, Raidō, set up two more tents tomorrow and handle the Green Card applications the same way I did."

"We can't keep this up for long. Kirigakure's civil war will soon be quelled. They'll definitely come looking for their people then~"

"This, you see, is called 'village resource drain.' It's a serious problem."

"And with their own ninja defecting, we can't easily refute their claims of searching for lost soldiers."

"So, we need to act fast and suck as much blood as possible before Kirigakure reacts."

After an afternoon of hands-on teaching, Gojo Kaigetsu, now a hands-off manager, slipped out the back door with the Uchiha trio and headed towards the seaside.

It was his first time facing the vast ocean of the shinobi world.

He pointed towards the horizon and asked, "Shisui, Itachi, Izumi, let's test your knowledge. What do you think lies beyond the sea?"
