Speaking of which, Cold Wind and the Aburame Clan have a very close relationship.
Cold Wind and Yui were classmates in the Ninja Academy, and after graduating early, they became teammates, and the one who guided them was the legend of the Aburame Clan, Shihei Aburame.
It just so happens that Shihei Aburame and Shihei Aburame have a close relationship, so Shihei Aburame will definitely congratulate Shihei when Shihei Aburame has a son.
If Cold Wind goes to the Aburame Clan in the name of visiting Shihei Aburame, he might be able to sneak into Shihei Aburame's house and meet Shihei Aburame who is still a baby.
But … forget it.
Cold Wind shook his head and then asked: "Brother Iwasi, when will Naruto -sama come back?"
"I'm not sure, but there is a meeting at 3 o 'clock in the afternoon, Naruto -sama will definitely come back before then." Iwasi said.
Cold Wind looked at the time, it's not 11 o 'clock yet, there are still 4 hours before 3 o' clock in the afternoon, it's not a good idea to wait in the Naruto Building, so he said goodbye to Iwasi and left the Naruto Building, preparing to stroll around the neighborhood to pass the time and solve the problem of lunch on the way.
Cold Wind strolled slowly to Ichiraku Ramen, and after eating a large bowl of noodles, Cold Wind continued to stroll around.
After the war ended, the economy of Wood Leaf recovered at a very fast speed, various clothing stores, snack shops, flower shops, dessert shops, gambling houses, izakuas, jewelry stores, toy stores, photo shops, and other shops have sprung up on both sides of the street, bustling with people coming and going.
Correspondingly, the scale of the Ninja Tool Shop gradually shrank with the end of the war.
Cold Wind walked and looked around, suddenly he found that there was chaos in front of him, dozens of pedestrians were talking in front of a shop, and from time to time there were screams coming out from the crowd.
Cold Wind immediately squeezed into the crowd with his monstrous strength.
Coming to the innermost part, Cold Wind saw several fierce looking thugs holding down a thin young man and beating him violently, scolding and yelling at him with a lawless and arrogant appearance.
As for the young man, he was very experienced in squatting down and covering his head to protect his vitals. From time to time, he would howl miserably. This was probably not the first time.
Cold Wind didn't rush forward to fight for justice. Instead, he looked at the shop behind the thugs.
Outside the shop, there was a big signboard with the word 'Gambling'.
Gambling house?
Cold Wind suddenly remembered that he had seen many gambling houses along the way.
Why are there so many gambling houses in the village all of a sudden?
Cold Wind's heart skipped a beat, and he walked directly to the gambling house.
When the thugs saw Cold Wind walking over, they immediately glared at him, as if to intimidate Cold Wind to mind his own business. But when they saw that Cold Wind was walking towards the gambling house behind them, they immediately smiled flatteringly.
"Ninja-sama, this way please, this way please."
"Ninja-sama, I can see that you are very lucky today. You will definitely win money!"
Cold Wind glanced at them from the corner of his eyes. Interesting.
Since they have already recognized that he is a ninja, why did they still have a fearless and intimidating expression?
Does this gambling house have a ninja background?
Walking into the gambling house, he walked through a three-meter-long corridor and opened a sliding door. A burst of noisy noise instantly entered his ears, and then a hot wave mixed with sweat hit his face.
It was obviously winter, but the inside of the gambling house was in full swing. A group of gamblers with red faces and red ears were competing with each other, all sweating profusely.
There are quite a lot of people.
Cold Wind narrowed his eyes and looked around. Inside this small gambling house, there were nine gambling tables. Each table was surrounded by gamblers. Roughly counting, there were nearly a hundred people!
In the corners of the gambling house, there were many fierce thugs, wearing the same uniform as the thugs outside.
Cold Wind walked around inside and then came out.
Then he walked back and visited several gambling houses that he had passed before. As a result, he unexpectedly found that these gambling houses had many similarities.
For example, the thugs all wore the same uniform.
For example, there were no more than ten gambling tables.
For example, the same three-meter-long corridor.
If it weren't for the different names of the gambling houses, Cold Wind would have thought that these gambling houses were chain enterprises.
However, even if the names are different, the boss behind the gambling house may be the same person!
And from the fact that these thugs are not afraid of ninjas, the boss behind the gambling house must be related to ninjas.
Cold Wind suddenly remembered that many years ago, when he was in the second class of Aburame Shihei, they went to watch the ninja selection competition together. At that time, the staff of the Chrysanthemum Gambling house opened bets everywhere outside the competition venue. Cold Wind was itching to bet.
Of course, this is not the main point. At that time, Aburame Shihei told him that Wood Leaf's number one gambling house, Chrysanthemum Gambling house, has a high-level background!
High-level?
How high?
Is Danzō high enough?
Cold Wind put the blame on Danzō without any psychological barrier.
Then why did Danzō open so many gambling houses?
Collecting information?
Impossible.
Raising funds?
Cold Wind suddenly remembered that Po Shui Mun cut half of the funds of the Anbu and the root department!
How can Danzō tolerate the halving of the root department's funds?
But so many days have passed and he hasn't stirred up any trouble. This is not in line with his character at all!
The only explanation is that he is raising funds through these small gambling houses, and then … he is developing wretchedly?
The more Cold Wind thought about it, the more likely it was!
He looked at the time. It was almost two o 'clock. He immediately rushed to Naruto's building.
Outside Naruto's office, Eva saw Cold Wind coming and said with a smile, "Naruto -sama has returned. He knows that you are looking for him. Just go in."
"Thank you."
Cold Wind thanked him, then pushed the door and went in.
"Naruto -sama."
Seeing Po Shui Mun handling documents at the desk, Cold Wind said with grief and indignation, "Something bad has happened!"
"What's wrong?" Po Shui Mun looked up with a serious expression.
"Naruto -sama, I found that there are suddenly many small gambling houses in the village. There are so many of them!" Cold Wind described vividly.
"Small gambling houses?"
Po Shui Mun was a little puzzled, "What's wrong with these small gambling houses?"
Cold Wind immediately exaggerated the dangers of gambling. It made people lose their will to play, damaged their physical and mental health, caused people to lose their family fortune, went on the road of crime, stole and robbed, endangered the harmonious development of Wood Leaf …
Po Shui Mun's scalp went numb as he listened.
Is this an alarmist?
Po Shui Mun wasn't stupid. After careful consideration, although Cold Wind's words were a little extreme, if there were too many gambling houses in the village, such an extreme situation was bound to occur!
His expression gradually became stern!
"I didn't expect the existence of gambling houses to cause such terrible consequences!"
Po Shui Mun's tone was serious, "I didn't even notice this before!"
Cold Wind continued, "Naruto -sama, and I suspect that these small gambling houses didn't pay taxes!"
Cold Wind didn't know much about Wood Leaf's tax system, but he was certain that if Danzō was really using these small gambling houses to raise funds, there was no way he would pay taxes!
Po Shui Mun nodded solemnly, then shouted, "Kakashi!"
"Yes!"
A figure suddenly appeared in a flash.
Cold Wind turned to look. The person was wearing a mask, and only a head of long silver hair could identify him.
"You heard everything Cold Wind said just now," Po Shui Mun said slowly.
Kakashi nodded.
"Investigate these small gambling houses immediately!"
Po Shui Mun said solemnly, "Pay attention to your safety!"
"Understood," Kakashi replied and disappeared instantly.
Po Shui Mun then turned to Cold Wind and said with a smile, "Cold Wind, thank you for your information!"
"As a Wood Leaf ninja, this is what I should do!"
Cold Wind smiled shyly, then got down to business. "Naruto -sama, there's actually one more thing that I've come to see you about this time."
"What's the matter?" Po Shui Mun asked.
"It's about that technique."
Cold Wind said tactfully, "I found that Brother Genma and the others can't keep up with my cultivation progress, and we can't communicate or learn from each other."
Po Shui Mun nodded, "Actually, I also noticed that Genma and the others haven't made any progress in their cultivation over the past month, so I plan to split the Flying Thunder God into three parts."
Cold Wind was overjoyed. This way, he wouldn't have to act as a middleman!
But on the surface, Cold Wind showed a puzzled expression, "What does Naruto -sama mean?"
Po Shui Mun smiled and said, "After splitting it into three parts, Genma and the others will each learn one part. This way, they can communicate, learn from each other, and speed up their learning progress!"
"As expected of Naruto -sama, you actually came up with such a good idea!" Cold Wind praised exaggeratedly.
Po Shui Mun smiled and shook his head, "This isn't the idea I came up with."
Cold Wind was stunned. It wasn't Po Shui Mun? Could it be … that he saw through my thoughts?
"It was Shinna Kushina who thought of it." Po Shui Mun smiled happily.
Cold Wind breathed a sigh of relief and immediately gave a thumbs up, "As expected of Naruto -sama's wife, you actually came up with such a good idea!"
Wait, didn't I just say this sentence?
Forget it.
After the matter was resolved, Cold Wind left.
…
In the evening.
Wood Leaf, in a dense forest.
A Root Ninja was running at full speed in the forest. As the giant trees in the forest gradually thinned out, a secret training ground appeared in front of them.
"Danzō -sama!" The Root Ninja saw one of them and immediately flashed over and knelt on one knee.
"What's the matter?"
Danzō -sama stood on the side with his arms crossed.
In the training ground not far away, a young man with the code name 'A' was training!
"Wood Release: Wooden Block!"
A used Chakra to activate Wood Release, but on the grass in front of him, there were only two pieces of gray wood that were tens of centimeters long.
A looked at Danzō -sama with a guilty conscience and found that Danzō -sama was talking with someone else. He couldn't help but sigh in relief.
"Danzō -sama, an Anbu is investigating the small gambling house." The Root Ninja reported in a low voice.
Danzō -sama frowned, "Anbu? Yondaime-sama's order? "
"Yes, the Anbu in charge of the investigation is Yondaime-sama's disciple, Kakashi."
Danzō -sama's eyes were closed, and no one could tell what he was thinking.
"Danzō -sama, how should we deal with it?" The Root Ninja asked.
Danzō -sama snorted, "Yondaime-sama's target is not these small gambling houses! He is coming for me! From the beginning of the reduction of Root's funds, he has been targeting me! Hmph, let him investigate! I want to know what Yondaime-sama wants to do with these gambling houses!! "
"I understand!" The Root Ninja nodded and immediately disappeared.
Then Danzō -sama calmly turned to A and said, "That's all for today, let's go back, A."
"Yes, Danzō -sama!" A responded loudly.
