Seastone Hidden Weapons

Hidden Leaf's South District had originally been a gathering place for merchants, with wide roads and densely packed shops.

Holding an official document stamped by the Hokage Building, Qian Ye temporarily requisitioned a spacious abandoned cargo warehouse and hung up a wooden sign reading "South District Patrol Command Post."

The courtyard had long since been cleared out. The warehouse, once filled with miscellaneous junk, was now packed with crates of standard-issue equipment and supplies.

The three secret armories Danzo had handed over were thoroughly cleared out overnight by Pakura and her people. The materials were transported in batches via Sealing Scrolls and gathered at this command post.

A full three thousand high-quality Explosive Tags, over ten thousand refined steel Kunai, and several hundred sturdy sets of chainmail-lined armor had all been delivered here.

Outside the warehouse, twenty Auxiliary Brigade members stood guard with hands on their blades, watching their surroundings vigilantly.

Qian Ye sat in the command post's large chair, holding an inventory list and feeling quite pleased.

Pakura pushed open the door and entered, tossing a stack of account books onto the desk.

"If Danzo finds out you even dug up the spare Military Ration Pills hidden beneath the armory floor tiles, he'll probably come after you with his cane and fight you to the death."

Qian Ye leaned back in his chair and casually flipped through the ledgers.

"Since he gave me the keys, it means they were a token of the old man's goodwill."

"When elders bestow something, it must not be refused."

"Taking it all is showing him respect. Leaving even a little behind would be looking down on him."

Pakura could not help curling her lip at that.

"With that mouth of yours, it'd be a waste of talent not to become a diplomatic envoy."
