[Extra] The Sixth Hokage's Work

The league lasted 7 years.

After being repeatedly recommended by the Konoha High Command, Hatake Kakashi succeeded his father as Hokage, becoming the Sixth Hokage.

The first thing he did after taking office was to remove Obito from his position as captain of the Military Police Force and promote him to be the Hokage Assistant.

Before the emotion that flashed in Obito's eyes had completely faded, Kakashi dumped a lot of work that he was too lazy to handle onto Obito, and then, like Kazashiro, became the mastermind in charge of the whole situation, assigning tasks to Minato, Jiraiya, Uchiha Itachi, and others.

Everyone: It feels numb.

After Obito stepped down, the position of captain of the Military Police Force was handed over to Iroha Hyuga.

Upon learning that the new captain of the Military Police Force was a member of his own clan, Neji Hyuga, suppressing his fear of the "Ball Buster Kid" title, braced himself and went to find him. He then reported that Otsutsuki Toneri had been stalking Hinata, the eldest daughter of the Hinata Hyuga Clan.

Upon receiving the news, Iroha took the report very seriously and personally led a team to arrest Toneri, who was following Hinata. When Toneri tried to resist, he was beaten to his knees, clutching his groin and howling in pain as he was sent to the Medical Unit headquarters.

Of course, these are all unimportant things.

So Kakashi simply tossed the report aside upon receiving it.

"AUV, isn't this Brother Lu Yuan? Greetings! Aren't you the pillar of the Nara Clan? What brings you to the shopping district?"

"It's Brother Hayate! I just couldn't get used to the takeout food, so I came to find some authentic Konoha cuisine."

On the commercial street, Hagoromo Roku and Gekko Hayate met and began a conversation among the old Konoha people.

"Don't even mention it. Konoha is full of beggars from out of town these days. For example, just the other day, a guy from the Military Police Force stopped me and said he needed to check my ID."

Who am I? I'm the cousin of Jonin Hayate Gekko Hayate! Every old Konoha resident in the Military Police Force knows me! I asked around, and guess what? That kid's name is Gaara, and he immigrated from the Land of Wind. Isn't he just here to beg for food?

Moonlight Hayate mingled there as they chatted eloquently.

Hagoromo Roku, standing to the side, nodded in approval.

"That's right. My Hagoromo Clan is the most low-key elder clan in Konoha. Many of the secret techniques of the Land of Fire were contributed by our clan. Yet, a few days ago, when the Jonin were promoted, my little brother couldn't even beat a guy named Kazashiro."

"That kid has some kind of Typhoon Release Kekkei Genkai; he's obviously not from Konoha."

Their conversation was not an isolated incident; similar discussions could be heard in other parts of the timber city.

Kakashi naturally learned of these things as well.

"The Land of Fire is developing too fast, and some elderly people have begun to act arrogantly, causing conflicts with new residents, which has severely hampered law enforcement by the Military Police Force."

Kakashi then handed over some difficult cases recently reported by the Military Police Force to Uchiha Itachi.

"The Hagoromo Clan, if I remember correctly, the reason they handed over their secret techniques was entirely because of my teacher... his respect for elders."

It's hard to describe how Kazashiro Uchiha Itachi was at the time; the only way to describe it was as respecting his elders.

"None of that matters. What matters is that because of the promised benefits, many members of the local Konoha Ninja Clan are unwilling to pursue a career in ninja, and instead dye their hair in various colors and cause trouble everywhere."

Whenever the Military Police Force tried to intervene, their fathers would get involved, which made things very difficult for Iroha.

Kakashi turned to look out the window, and in his line of sight, he could see idle and aimless Ninja Clan members everywhere.

"Compared to them, those noble sons who surrendered voluntarily and received preferential treatment are more willing to become ninjas. I think it won't be long before Konoha's military strength declines to a terrifying level."

As he spoke, Kakashi turned his head back and asked, "As Kazashiro's disciple, what are your thoughts on this?"

Uchiha Itachi blinked and, without hesitation, gave his answer, "Take them down."

" ah?"

Kakashi, having received the answer, was too slow to react.

"I said, let's take them down. That's what our teacher said when he faced the nobles; now we've simply reversed the roles."

As Uchiha Itachi spoke, he subconsciously reached for the spot where he usually carried his Ninja Blade.

"Ahem, I understand, Itachi." Kakashi coughed lightly, stopping Uchiha Itachi's actions.

He strongly suspected that the young man in front of him intended to do it himself.

But should we treat them the same way we treat nobles...?

Kakashi had made up his mind.

"I understand, Itachi. Please call Obito over here."

After Uchiha Itachi left the room, Kakashi stood up from his chair, went to the spot where the photos of the past Hokage were displayed, and stared intently at the photo of Kazashiro.

In the photo, Kazashiro has a serious expression.

This was also one of the few truly serious moments in his life.

"It's true, the best people always leave first." Reaching out to touch the glass outside the photograph, Kakashi's mood was somewhat low, and he unconsciously recalled the scene of their first encounter.

"Kakashi, did you call me?" Obito pushed the door open without knocking, but Kakashi, who reacted even faster, was already in his seat after Obito opened the door, his expression returning to normal.

"If you'd like, I hope you can call me the Sixth, my Hokage Assistant."

Seeing Obito, a father of two, still so energetic, Kakashi tilted his head back to make his neck more comfortable.

"Stop saying all that useless stuff, you know perfectly well how busy I am every day!"

Obito's tone was hurried; he still had a lot of work that Kakashi had forcibly dumped on him, and heaven knows just how busy he was right now.

Fortunately, he had Shirakumo Hayama, Fugutake Tonbo, and others to help him, otherwise he would have died of exhaustion at his post long ago.

I don't know how Kazashiro's father managed to stay awake 24/7, keep up with the Shinobi World's intelligence, and live for so long.

I heard that he stays home with his child Tenten now, and you can sometimes see him taking walks on the street.

In contrast, the Third Hokage has formed an old-age fishing group with Ōnoki, spending his days either fishing or on his way to fish.

"Well, just leave those things to Shirakumo Hayama and the others. To lighten your burden, didn't I already transfer Kabuto Yakushi over to help you?"

Kakashi pressed his hands down, signaling Obito to calm down, and then explained why he had called him over.

"Peace has lasted too long, and I've found that many people have forgotten the suffering they endured, degenerating into dregs that harm society. I think you're very clear about this, aren't you?"

After hearing Obito snorted disdainfully, "What, it's because Iroha can't control the situation, right? I told you long ago, our old classmate, apart from having some Bakugan skills, is completely incapable of handling such a complex situation on his own."

"Shiranui Genma is exceptionally strong, he doesn't have any prominent family backing him up. Furthermore, the Hyuga Clan behind Iroha is corrupt and scheming with various other families, making it impossible for them to enforce the law seriously."

Kakashi was certainly aware of the drawbacks Obito mentioned, but rather than making Obito the captain of the Military Police Force, he needed a reliable ally standing behind him.

"You can't say that. Didn't you say when you were young that you wanted to become the Hokage Assistant? I'm just helping you fulfill your dream."

"I don't want to be your assistant!" After Obito retorted, both of them looked somewhat dejected.

After a while, Kakashi took the initiative to smooth things over. "Alright, let's not talk about these things for now. The reason I called you here is to ask you whether the Internal Affairs Department should get involved in village security."

Five years into the alliance, on the eve of his resignation, Sakumo streamlined the massive and bloated Internal Affairs Department, separating it from powers that conflicted with other departments, such as those related to internal security, allowing them to focus on dealing with external enemies and internal traitors.

With the suppression of the Ministry of the Internal Affairs Department gone, the Ninja Clan entered a period of happy development.

However, they had no intention of forming cliques or vying for power with the higher-ups; they simply relied on the wealth granted by the policies of the past to vigorously develop their own assets.

They also realized the importance of unity from their confrontation with Kazashiro, so the connections between the various families became closer.

In this wave, only members of the Uchiha Clan, the Nara Clan, and those loyal to Hyuga Hiashi from the Hyuga Clan did not participate.

"The Internal Affairs Department alone is not enough. The current Internal Affairs Department is a mixed bag, with members from all races holding positions there. It has long lost its original complete loyalty to the Hokage."

Obito did not agree with Kakashi's plan.

Hearing this, Kakashi felt a headache coming on. Did they really have to do as Uchiha Itachi suggested and give some of them to Tutu?

"However, appointing someone that everyone fears as the captain of the Military Police Force, or an advisor, would be a feasible solution."

A guy who instills fear in everyone?

Kakashi fell into deep thought.

Then, he had his answer.

A few days later, the tribal Clan Head received a notice almost simultaneously.

The notice required them all to attend a meeting organized by the Military Police Force tomorrow.

The meeting was organized by the newly appointed captain of the Military Police Force.

"Iroha Hyuga has been dismissed?"

Upon receiving the news, the Ninja Clan members immediately began to coordinate, trying to find out exactly what had happened.

The answer was simple: Iroha Hyuga was indeed transferred elsewhere, along with the Vice Captain, Shiranui Genma.

It is still unclear who the newly appointed captain and Vice Captain are, but they are certainly not members of any of the races.

"Hmph, I'd like to see what kind of person this new ninja is. If he's just a commoner ninja, then he has no right to point fingers at us." The new Clan Head of the Hagoromo Clan, Hagoromo Naen, made a call to action, which immediately garnered a response from everyone.

But the next day, when the Clan Head saw who was sitting there, they immediately became terrified and dared not utter a sound. They sat obediently in their seats, waiting for the person above to give them instructions.

"They're all here?" Danzo was holding Kamui and Kagura's hands, let go of the two children's hands after seeing that all the seats were full.

Kamui, seeing Hagoromo Naen far away from Danzo, walked up to her with a smile and gently touched her arm.

"Uncle, didn't you say yesterday that if they are commoner ninjas, they have no right to point fingers at you? Does my grandfather count as a commoner ninja?"

Upon hearing this, Hagoromo Naen was terrified and hurriedly stood up, vehemently denying what she had said.

"I, I, I, I, I..."

After stammering for a while, Hagoromo Naen's eyes rolled back, and she fainted, almost hitting Kamui next to her.

Seeing the other person fall to the ground, Kamui gently patted their cheek to make sure they wouldn't wake up for the time being, then plopped down in their spot.

"The Sixth Hokage rehired me, appointing me as the new captain of the Military Police Force. However, I am getting old and do not wish to waste too much energy on these matters. If you have any issues, you can speak with the Vice Captain, Aburame Torune. Understand?"

Only then did everyone notice Aburame Torune, who had been silently standing to the side, and hurriedly nodded in agreement.

"Alright, Kamui, Kamui, let's go."

Amidst the fearful gazes of the crowd, Danzo slowly rose and left the meeting room with the two children.

Danzo's intervention was very effective; just a few days later, Kakashi received good news from Temari.

"The Ninja Clan have become much more obedient. After some disobedient members were captured, their clans no longer exerted pressure on them as they had before."

Temari now works at the Hokage Building and occasionally participates in combat missions.

"Yes, that's good. Temari, no matter what, you and your brother are ninjas of the Land of Fire. Don't listen to the nonsense of those Ninja Clan. The Land of Fire welcomes all friends."

"I know, Sixth." Temari nodded.

She never tolerated the taunts from the Ninja Clan members. Upon hearing them, she unleashed her Wind Release and then sent her younger brother to clean up the mess.

Therefore, they are often targeted by certain individuals.

However, all these attacks disappeared after Danzo was rehired.

Anyway, let's get back to work.

Kakashi stretched after finally finishing one task, and was about to get back to work when the office door was pushed open by someone else.

Upon recognizing the person approaching, Kakashi immediately broke out in a cold sweat and frantically searched for a place to escape.

"Hmph, Kakashi, you've been so focused on work that you've forgotten you have a wife at home?" Mei Terumi looked at Kakashi with ill intent and licked her lips.

"Um, this is the office, no, please!"
