Sky Curtain: Short Video Commentary on Konoha Villagers

Logically speaking, this amount of money would be enough for him to eat 26,000 meals of barbecue.

Even if you deposited all that money in a bank, the daily interest alone would be enough to eat seventeen meals.

In the 60th year of Konoha, at the entrance of a barbecue restaurant.

Asma stood outside the shop, looking at the words on the canopy and the curious gazes of the diners around him, and turned his face slightly away.

Shikamaru leaned against the wall next to him, speaking lazily with a playful smile on his face.

"Asuma-sensei, you didn't give all your money to Kurenai-sensei for safekeeping, did you?"

The moment these words were spoken, the surroundings fell silent for a moment.

Asma seemed to have choked on the smoke, his face turning bright red.

"Cough cough cough! What did you say?!"

Konoha Year 48, Hokage's office.

Shikaku rarely showed a smile: "That kid Asuma, he's even stingy about eating barbecue. Looks like Red is keeping a close eye on him."

Minato asked with some curiosity, "Red? Is she that girl from the Yuhi clan?"

Shikaku nodded. "Asuma has been pursuing her since they were kids. Given Asuma's personality, it's normal for him to give all his earnings to his partner to manage."

Kushina stood beside her, resting her chin on her hand, looking quite puzzled.

"That's true, but to feel guilty about spending money on just one barbecue meal? Isn't that a bit too strict?"

The text on the screen continued to scroll.

[As mentioned above, although the ninjas may seem to live a frugal life, they are actually all secretly wealthy.]

[A low-ranking ninja can easily eat ramen every day after working for a few days, while a high-ranking ninja can achieve financial freedom after working for a few years.]

Konoha Village, on the street.

Upon hearing this, the ninjas couldn't help but let out a wry smile.

"The average number of people with hidden wealth... if you only look at income, that's true."

"No matter how much money you earn, you still need to be alive to spend it."

An elderly ninja squatted in the corner and sighed.

"Lord Jiraiya is a prime example. He amassed so much money, but what happened? In the end, he died and couldn't take any of it with him."

There was a moment of silence.

"Yes, ninjas earn a lot, but they are always at risk of being killed."

"What's the use of making a lot of money if you're gone?"

..

The screen went dark, followed by a very gossipy title.

Why didn't Mei Terumi, who was always in a rush to get married, choose Kakashi?

Mizukage Village, Mizukage's Office.

Mei Terumi, who was holding a teacup, trembled upon hearing this. She quickly steadied the cup, looking a little embarrassed.

"W-How did this get involved?!"

Qing, who was standing next to her, turned her head away silently, pretending not to have heard anything.

Chojuro, being quite honest, muttered under his breath, "The Mizukage has indeed been in a real hurry to get married..."

"Chōjūrō, what did you say?!"

"N-Nothing! Lord Mizukage, I didn't say anything!"

The curtain continues to fall:

Why does Mei Terumi prefer to swoon over Sasuke, who has a chance of getting electrocuted, rather than cast a glance at Kakashi?

Konoha Training Ground.

Kakashi looked somewhat bewildered upon hearing this.

"...Mei Terumi? Is that the Mizukage that Tenbu mentioned before?"

"But what does it matter to me if she wants to find a partner?"

Meanwhile, in the Mizukage's office in Kirigakure.

Mei Terumi rested her chin on one hand, unconsciously tapping the table with the other, her brows furrowed, a hint of distress on her face.

"Kakashi...?"

Information about this man swirls through her mind: Kakashi Hatake, an elite Jonin of Konoha, the Copy Ninja, strong, famous, and good-looking.

Logically speaking, these conditions are indeed quite good.

But the thought of that man watching Made Intense Paradise all day long...

Mei Terumi's expression immediately turned strange.

"He reads those kinds of books all day long... I'm afraid his health isn't good, is it?"

Qing, who was pretending not to hear, almost choked on her own saliva when she heard this.

"Lord Mizukage?!"

"I'm telling the truth!"

Mei Terumi shrugged confidently.

"Think about it, if a man spends all his energy on those kinds of books, how good can his actual fighting ability be? I can't just marry him and live like a widow!"

The text on the sky continued to scroll:

The answer is actually quite cruel.

Mei Terumi's logic for choosing a partner is very straightforward and passionate.

She wanted someone who could catch her flames, someone who, after she unleashed her Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique, would be soaked to the bone but still smile and say, "Let's do it again."

Konoha Year 60, Hokage's office.

Tsunade was stunned for a moment, then realized what was going on, and her expression became a half-smile.

"This Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique... it probably doesn't actually refer to water-based techniques, right?"

Jiraiya leaned back on the sofa, his shoulders shaking with laughter.

"Hahahaha! Tsunade, aren't you just asking a question you already know the answer to!"

"You're such a grown man, what are you pretending for!"

Sunagakure Village, Kazekage's office.

Gaara stared blankly at the sky, seemingly not understanding.

Kankuro, however, reacted instantly, and his expression was priceless.

"Wow... what a metaphor..."

Temari understood immediately, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she glared at Kankuro.

"Say less!"

Kankuro shrugged. "I didn't say anything!"

In Iwagakure, Onoki stroked his beard and nodded with a subtle expression.

"At Mei Terumi's age, that statement doesn't seem to be wrong."

Heitu rolled his eyes beside him: "Grandpa! What are you doing analyzing this, an old man like you!"

Onoki coughed, pretending not to hear.

I don't know why, but I've developed a love for gossip ever since I got older.

The curtain continues to fall:

It seems Kakashi isn't suitable.

[After all, Kakashi is hampered by his Sharingan and frequently watches "Make-Out Paradise."]

[Plus, that guy doesn't seem very interested in women, otherwise he wouldn't have remained unmarried his whole life, right?]

[So it seems Kakashi is a person with low desires.]

If Mei Terumi goes with him, she's likely to suffer.

Konoha Year 60, Training Ground.

Sakura's expression was extremely complicated. She turned to look at Kakashi, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

"Kakashi-sensei, Tenbu says you have low desires."

Kakashi's expression under the mask was unreadable, but the one eye that was visible was clearly somewhat unnatural.

"I'm single, but that doesn't mean I have low desires."

Naruto leaned closer, his face full of gossip: "So, Kakashi-sensei, why don't you ever find a girlfriend?"

Kakashi turned his gaze to the group of women who had just been discussing what to do with the money they had saved, and said.

"trouble."
