Kakashi, looking perplexed, was whisked away by the film crew from the Land of Snow to various locations around Konohagakure for filming. Judging by the length of the movie, Gojo Kaigetsu likely wouldn't see his prized subordinate again for the next ten days to half a month. Hatake Kakashi, officially making his debut!

After handling this matter, Gojo Kaigetsu stretched and left his workstation. Two more tasks required his attention today.

"Kobori Taiten and that big-shot businessman from the Land of Water are really disrespecting me, the advisor~"

First, there was Kobori Taiten. Gojo Kaigetsu had tried both gentle persuasion and stern warnings, and Kakashi had even attempted to intervene several times, but to no avail. Taiten refused to cooperate with the publicity stunt, claiming his kunai were washed seven times a day with water. He kept ranting about honesty and integrity in business.

The next issue of *Iki III* was about to be released, and as the owner of Konoha's currently most successful and influential ninja tool shop, Kobori Taiten's participation was crucial.

However, his stubborn refusal was irritating Gojo Kaigetsu.

Then there was the businessman from the Land of Water. If his honey wasn't selling, shouldn't he reflect on his own shortcomings and efforts? He had only been in Konoha for a few days and was already complaining that it wasn't what he had imagined... Wouldn't he eventually flee back to the Land of Water and have a sudden epiphany?

Action was needed.

Gojo Kaigetsu first went to Taiten Ninja Tool Shop and settled into a relatively secluded corner.

It was around three in the afternoon, and the shop was bustling with ninjas and villagers. Some were enjoying restorative tonics with friends, while others, fresh graduates from the Academy, meticulously examined the lower-tier ninja tools displayed on the shelves.

Their anxious expressions as they fretted over tools costing only a few hundred to a thousand ryō... Looking at them, Gojo Kaigetsu saw a reflection of his younger self.

He too had struggled to accumulate his initial capital, taking on low-rank missions every day, carefully selecting affordable ninja tools, and steadily climbing to the peak of success through hard work.

If one disregarded the fact that a ninja's profession mostly involved missions against other people, they were quite similar to adventurers in fantasy tales.

Both accepted missions from an adventurer's guild (or the Hokage Tower) and purchased equipment from specialty shops (or ninja tool stores)... The only difference was that adventurers had a touch of romantic fantasy... while ninjas... their stories were filled with blood and tears.

Gojo Kaigetsu, being a benevolent ninja, had quickly implemented a medical insurance system for ninjas after assuming his position as advisor. This allowed ordinary ninjas to afford treatment at Konoha Hospital without hesitation.

He had also intervened in the ninja tool market, using the village's authority to reduce the average price of common ninja tools by a fifth, making them accessible to all ordinary ninjas.

"Excuse me, customer... what can I get for you?"

Kobori Taiten busily greeted customers, and seeing no response, he looked up. His face immediately broke into a smile upon recognizing Gojo Kaigetsu.
