Ever since his son was born, the frequency with which he stirred up trouble had dropped significantly, causing his attributes to barely change recently.
Sigh, he couldn't afford to stagnate.
Thinking this, Gekko Chizan suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with motivation—but in Chōmei's eyes, that look meant one thing:
Hah, this kid's about to stir up trouble again!
"Chizan, we're in the Land of Earth now. How are you planning to cause trouble?"
"Give me a hint, will you?"
Chōmei was especially curious. After all, Gekko Chizan had come to Kusagakure and Iwagakure this time specifically to cause trouble and take revenge.
Kusagakure had already been thrown into chaos because of a few pills, and now he was really eager to know what big "gift" Gekko Chizan had prepared for Iwagakure.
"Chōmei, you have to understand—there are endless ideas when it comes to causing trouble."
"But the most convenient method is poisoning, hehehehe."
The smile on Gekko Chizan's face only made Chōmei even more curious.
"Come on, tell me already. Satisfy my curiosity."
"Alright then, let me ask you—where is Iwagakure built?"
Chōmei was instantly dumbfounded. How would he know where Iwagakure was built?
The last time they came to the Land of Earth, they hadn't even gone near Iwagakure.
"Hehehehe, Chōmei, let me teach you something else. If you want to cause trouble, you have to thoroughly understand the other side's situation."
"Only then can you strike properly."
Amid Gekko Chizan's extremely sleazy laughter, Chōmei's head spun even more. Causing trouble was just causing trouble—why bother with all this analysis?
"Iwagakure is surrounded by rocky mountains, possessing extremely strong defenses. Enemies find it hard to break into its interior, but at the same time, it's also relatively difficult for them to interact with the outside world."
"This means that Iwagakure is, to a certain extent, far more closed off."
"Hehehehe, get it now, Chōmei?"
Chōmei: ??? Get it my ass—damn riddlers should all go die!
"Forget it. I know your brain doesn't work too well. Just watch what I do."
"But Chōmei, make sure you prepare enough scale powder. No matter what we do, your scale powder is the top priority."
Only after hearing this did Chōmei feel a bit better. Hmph, in the end you still have to rely on my scale powder to cause trouble!
The next day, Gekko Chizan set out again, heading straight for the town closest to Iwagakure.
While traveling, to improve efficiency, he directly sent shadow clones to the Land of Frost to begin purchasing large quantities of seafood.
All kinds of sea fish and seafood were bought by the crate—after all, Minato was footing the bill.
But before he bought much, he realized the money was running low. That was easy to deal with.
By the time Gekko Chizan finally arrived at the town outside Iwagakure, he rented a room, then directly placed a marker, and with chakra supplied by Chōmei—
He returned straight to Konoha.
"What?! You spent all ten million ryō?!"
"Chizan, what the hell did you do?!"
Minato Namikaze, who was working in the Hokage Building, was dragged out of his work by Gekko Chizan and hit with an earth-shattering bomb.
Ten million ryō! Not one thousand! Not ten thousand! Ten million!
How the hell did this bastard spend it all? It had only been a little over a month!
Gekko Chizan picked at his ear, looking completely calm.
"Hey, dear Hokage-sama, do you have any idea how expensive intelligence work is?"
"First I went to the neutral country, the Land of Waterfall, and finished setting up the corresponding intelligence outpost in Takigakure."
"Then I rushed nonstop to the Land of Grass and the Land of Hot Water. Intelligence operations are now underway in both places."
"If you're asking where the money went—well, in the Land of Grass I recruited some ronin. They gather intelligence for me at all times."
"In the Land of Hot Water, I opened a flower shop as a front. Secretly, it's also used to collect intelligence."
"As for the Five Great Nations, I'm personally in the Land of Earth right now. Oh, here—Land of Earth specialty, rock-skin cake. Want one?"
Coincidentally enough, rock-skin cake really was a specialty of the Land of Earth.
After hearing Gekko Chizan's report, Minato Namikaze felt a bit less angry. After all, these expenses were reasonable in his eyes—but ten million ryō!
Back when he did an S-rank mission, he only earned one million ryō! That was the pay for ten missions—just gone like that???
It hurt! It hurt like hell!
Thinking this, Minato Namikaze didn't hesitate and grabbed a rock-skin cake from the bag Gekko Chizan had placed on the table, stuffing it straight into his mouth.
"Crunch!"
Then came a crisp sound, and Minato Namikaze's face froze.
Hard! No wonder it's called rock-skin cake! It's damn hard!
"Hey, hey, hey, I told you it's called rock-skin cake. Biting it like that—didn't you chip a tooth?"
Seeing Minato's expression, Gekko Chizan burst out laughing. Minato Namikaze endured the pain in his teeth and set the cake down, a neat row of tooth marks clearly visible on its surface.
"Bastard! You did that on purpose, didn't you?!"
"No, absolutely not. This really is a specialty of the Land of Earth. They even said not to bite it directly—cut it up and eat it slowly! Hahahahaha!"
Minato Namikaze's entire face darkened. He swiftly pulled a sheet of paper from a drawer, scribbled a line on it, and tossed it to Gekko Chizan.
"Go get the money yourself!"
"Got it!"
Gekko Chizan accepted the note with a grin, then vanished in a flash of Flying Thunder God.
