Konan sensed that the soul within the ordinary-looking woman's Edo Tensei body was one that had only recently perished, completely different from the souls of those long dead...

Moreover, the woman's clothes were Amegakure style!

"We were supposed to only use corpses! And… this woman clearly wasn't on the list of preferences you showed me!"

Konan's voice was filled with barely suppressed rage. It seemed that if Black Zetsu couldn't give her a satisfactory explanation, she would attack him right then and there.

Black Zetsu immediately raised his hands in surrender, feigning innocence. "I'm just following orders, Vice-Leader~"

"Orders? Whose orders?"

"In our organization, whose orders could possibly take precedence over yours, Vice-Leader? It could only be the leader's~" Black Zetsu explained, "Unfortunately, Nagato is the leader!"

"I showed the report to the leader. He believes that the report was altered due to your… sympathy, so he ordered me to resurrect two beautiful women…"

"Since time was short, and the organization is facing even greater financial strain due to the addition of new members, I had no choice but to target Amegakure citizens~"

"But don't worry, Vice-Leader, I handled it cleanly. They were all smiling before they died, without a hint of pain. And they were all women I found in the border regions…"

"No one will notice their deaths; no one will speak up for them; no one will blame the leader… The leader will still be the revered as 'God' in their eyes."

Konan's face turned pale, but she didn't question Black Zetsu's words.

This sort of thing, to the increasingly extreme Nagato, was indeed possible.

This time, he was in line with the "stereotype."

Nagato must be very proud of himself right now! To be so eager to achieve his twisted version of peace that he even approved Black Zetsu's actions against Amegakure citizens.

The air seemed to freeze.

After a long while, Konan spoke in an icy tone, "I understand. I'll handle things here. You can report back to the organization."

"Yes! Vice-Leader!"

"I'll be back later. The leader wants to bring more Edo Tensei bodies to strengthen the organization's base in Yūkaku-jō. When the Fourth Shinobi World War begins, we can also launch a lightning attack on Konoha!"

Black Zetsu's body sank into the ground, but he didn't leave completely. Instead, he hid in the shadows, observing Konan's next move.

He saw Konan take out a sealing scroll and store the poor woman who had gotten caught in the crossfire.

Seeing this, Black Zetsu was satisfied and sank completely into the ground.

The seed he wanted to plant had apparently taken root~

...

As the Kirigakure ambassador to Konoha, Gonbee was living the high life.

Tight budget in the front, tighter budget in the back.

Kirigakure was tightening its belt, focusing on construction and the economy. Even the standard of living for the noble-born class had begun to decline. But as Kirigakure's representative abroad, his standard of living had only improved.

In the "Yagura Treatment" supply chain, he played the role of the middleman.

During the day, he would occasionally clock in, inquiring about Mei Terumi's progress in her studies. At night, he would strut into the foot massage parlors, enjoying the company of the ladies.

By consistently doubling treatment fee quotes, he was raking in nearly ten million ryō in cash every month. Even with his lavish lifestyle, he couldn't spend it all.

After a while, Gonbee started to crave something more exciting, something he couldn't normally experience.

But while Konoha was prosperous, the truly exciting stuff was written in Konoha's penal code. Although he, Gonbee, held a position of authority in Kirigakure, if he broke the law in Konoha and was reported to the elders, his career would be over. He'd be sent back to the village immediately, where the noble-born class would make his life a living hell.

So, if he wanted to play, he couldn't do it in Konoha!

So where could he go?

The answer was obvious.

Gonbee looked up at the large sign for Yūkaku-jō, drool practically dripping from the corners of his mouth.

If Konoha was the most prosperous and civilized city in the Shinobi world, then Yūkaku-jō was likely the most prosperous and civilized city of sin in the Shinobi world.

According to the regulars at the high-end foot massage parlors, in Yūkaku-jō, as long as you had the money, there was nothing you couldn't experience.

Gonbee got it—

After entering Yūkaku-jō, he exchanged pleasantries with his buddies, and then, amidst knowing laughter, they navigated through a maze of alleys, arriving at an unremarkable-looking house.

A buff, Kumogakure security guard stood at the entrance, reaching out to stop Gonbee and his friends.

"You two, there's a cover charge to enter. No less than ten million ryō in cash."

"Hmph! Here, take a look!"

Gonbee, well-versed in the routine, casually tossed his sealing scroll. The Kumogakure security guard inspected it and quickly let them through.

After more twists and turns, Gonbee was led to a secret room. A masked attendant approached. "Sir, what would you like?"

"What's the most exciting thing you've got?"

"Since you're here, you've probably tried everything else~ We have something you definitely can't get anywhere else. But the price…" The attendant rubbed his fingers together.

"Money is not an issue."

"How about experiencing an octopus that can't be killed no matter how hard you try, some animal friends, or perhaps… an esteemed Guardian Shinobi of the Land of Fire?"

The attendant's voice was like a siren's call, tugging at Gonbee's deepest desires.

Gulp

"You mean… an octopus…?"

"That's right."

"Let's start with an unkillable octopus. If it's good, I'll try the Guardian Shinobi of the Land of Fire later!"

Soon, an Edo Tensei octopus was brought before Gonbee. As a native of the Land of Water, Gonbee was naturally familiar with octopi.

Three minutes later…

"Strong! Powerful! Amazing! Awesome!"

Gonbee wiped the sweat from his brow and asked his friend how it was.

His friend's voice trembled.

"I… ordered a former Guardian Shinobi of the Land of Fire. I feel like my soul is about to be sucked out, my chakra too. I think I'm going to suffocate… It's like nothing I've ever experienced before."

Gonbee was intrigued, a mischievous glint in his eye.

"Two customers, that will be 30 million ryō in cash. No credit or discounts."

"...."

"30 million?!"
