Sky Curtain: Short Video Commentary on Konoha Villagers

Naruto turned to look at him and asked.

"Kakashi-sensei, why are you suddenly so agitated?"

Kakashi coughed twice, regaining his usual composure.

"It's nothing, just a bit of a感慨 (gan3 kai3, a feeling of deep emotion or reflection). Jiraiya-sama is indeed a remarkable writer."

The Hokage's office.

Tsunade sat by the window, looking at the numbers on the sky, her gaze unconsciously shifting to Jiraiya.

"The mission income of 2.95 million taels, plus the royalties from 'Icha Icha Paradise'..."

The more she calculated, the brighter her eyes became.

Jiraiya noticed that Tsunade's gaze was gradually becoming more intense. He felt a chill run down his spine and instinctively shrank back into the sofa.

"Jiraiya".

Tsunade spoke, her voice carrying a chilling gentleness.

"Are you... very rich?"

Jiraiya swallowed hard. "...Not particularly rich."

"Then can you lend me some?"

"You still haven't returned the money you borrowed from me last time!"

"That's what you gave me."

"When did I ever give it to you?!"

"Last time I had good luck, and you offered to sponsor me."

"You clearly stole it!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi sat in the corner, silently took a puff of his pipe, and chose to play dead.

He knew all too well how chaotic the financial dealings between the two were.

Tsunade, meanwhile, stared intently at Jiraiya, her mind racing with calculations.

2.95 million taels...

Even though Jiraiya has spent some of it over the years, she still has enough money left to gamble for quite a while!

Jiraiya felt a chill run down his spine as he felt Tsunade's intense gaze upon him.

It's true that he's rich.

But no amount of money can stop Tsunade from gambling!

With her luck, she could easily lose 2.95 million taels of silver in one night, let alone 295 million taels!

The text on the screen continued to scroll.

Why then does he use the money Naruto saved to live a carefree life?

The answer is obvious: his money is in the bank, and withdrawing it would be too much trouble.

Konoha Year 48, Hokage's office.

As Kushina Uzumaki listened to the content displayed on the sky, her expression gradually darkened.

Jiraiya-sensei actually shamelessly used Naruto's money to do that kind of thing!

At that moment, she suddenly thought of saving some money for the unborn Naruto.

Then it can be removed when Naruto grows up.

But all of this has one prerequisite: we must prevent Jiraiya from outsmarting Naruto.

The light from the sky shifted and flowed, and lines of text slowly emerged.

Following closely behind is Orochimaru.

Orochimaru's mission involves a total of 233 million ryo to purchase 466 million bowls of ramen.

But scientific research is very expensive; otherwise, Orochimaru wouldn't be struggling with funding.

Sound Village, underground laboratory.

Orochimaru sat at the lab table, staring at the numbers on the screen, his face expressionless. Money was just a number to him.

This sounds like a lot of money.

But only he knows how quickly that money is spent on scientific research.

A single experimental reagent costs hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, a precision instrument costs millions of taels, and the cost of achieving research results is astronomical...

The text on the screen continued to scroll.

As for Tsunade, her reported income is 202 million ryo, enough to buy 4 million bowls of ramen.

Unfortunately, she was a huge gambler; the casino owner treated her like a god of wealth.

A single dice roll can cost you a building; a single night can wipe out an entire street.

The Hokage's office.

Tsunade, who was just thinking about how to trick Jiraiya out of his money, froze upon hearing this.

How come the money I earned from my missions wasn't much less than Jiraiya's?

But why didn't I feel it?

I'm so short of money, yet Jiraiya is so rich!

Konoha Year 48, Hokage's office.

Kushina Uzumaki looked at the sky and asked curiously.

"Minato, does Lady Tsunade really love gambling that much?"

Minato coughed lightly, not wanting to say anything unkind to his senior with his back turned.

"Well... I'm not too sure either."

Under the sky, people from different timelines did some calculations.

"Looking at it this way, although Jiraiya likes to go out for drinks and hire prostitutes, his total spending limit is still just so-so."

"But Orochimaru and Tsunade are different."

"Orochimaru's scientific research requires a constant influx of money, which is a bottomless pit."

"Tsunade goes without saying... the gambling never ends."

"No matter how much money you give Tsunade, she'll eventually gamble it all away."

"Two hundred million taels? Give it to her in two months, and it'll all go into the casino."

The text on the screen continued to scroll.

[Next, counting down, is Kakashi.]

His total task amounted to 7226 million taels.

As a representative of low-spending ninjas, Kakashi rarely uses ninja tools.

Her greatest hobby is intimacy, and her most expensive daily meal never exceeds four hundred taels.

Moreover, when Kakashi was Hokage, he didn't have time to go out and spend money.

Therefore, after retirement, Kakashi's savings would definitely be close to 200 million yen.

The crowd on the street was in an uproar.

"Kakashi's spending habits are that low?!"

"He almost never uses ninja tools? No wonder I've never seen him change his weapon!"

"The most expensive daily meal cost is no more than four hundred taels... This is incredibly frugal!"

"Exactly! I love watching 'Make-Out Paradise,' but how much does reading a book cost?!"

"Besides, when I was Hokage, I was busy approving documents all day long, and I simply didn't have time to go out and spend money!"

"Thinking about it... he must have saved quite a bit after all these years as a ninja!"

"It seems his savings are almost comparable to those of Jiraiya-sama!"

Near the training ground, several single female ninjas secretly glanced at Kakashi.

"Speaking of which... he'll stay single for the rest of his life."

"Moreover, he has excellent personal qualities: strong abilities, a great reputation, and good looks..."

"With such qualities, I wonder how happy I would be if I married into that family..."

"That savings alone is enough for me to live on for several lifetimes!"

"More than that! If I were to invest this money, I'm confident I could turn the Kakashi name into a top-tier ninja IP!"

"What are you guys thinking?! Can't you just live a peaceful life?!"

Kakashi, with his exceptional hearing, listened to these whispers and silently took a step back.

These women, who haven't even met him yet, have already planned how to use his money.

This is absolutely terrifying!

Besides, why make it an IP address for him? He already has so much money; if he just put it in the bank, the interest alone would be enough for him and Kai to travel the ninja world!

The text on the screen continued to scroll.

[Let's talk about Asuma. He gets very upset if a barbecue costs 3,000 taels.]

However, his estimated savings for completing the mission are likely over 8000 million.

Why would he feel bad about spending 3000 taels?

...

Help! I was helping out at my grandpa's hotel during summer vacation, and I accidentally broke the magic knife. What should I do? Now there's a green ghost talking to me. Oh, and my eyes were red when I looked in the mirror just now.
