Lord Hokage, Long Live! We Would Lay Down Our Lives for You

The Police Force acted swiftly, fulfilling Uchiha Kō's demands in just one day.

The next morning

The villagers spontaneously gathered at the foot of the Hokage Building; most of them were relatives of ninjas who died in the Second Shinobi World War and First Shinobi World Wars.

They all knelt down, waiting for Sarutobi Hiruzen appear. At this moment, Uchiha Kō hadn't slept all night and was about to take a nap when he was notified that villagers were gathering below the Hokage Building and that he needed to come out and maintain order.

Uchiha Kō understood and said to the night shift members of the Police Force, "Everyone, stay a little later and go inform the Lord Hokage. We need his intervention now. Remember, this is a priority. Even if the Lord Hokage is sleeping, wake him up."

The night shift members glanced at Uchiha Kō's resolute eyes, then nodded and immediately sprang into action.

Uchiha Kō immediately went alone to the Hokage Building to organize discipline.

As Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen? The moment the villagers gathered at the Hokage Building, the Anbu knelt outside his room.

Although he is now the Hokage, he still possesses the keen senses of Kage Level powerhouse, and he stood up in an instant to assess the situation.

Just as he finished dressing and was about to leave, two ninjas in Konoha Police Force uniforms came to report. He nodded and said, "Go back and tell Owl-kun that he was kind enough."

Having said that, Sarutobi Hiruzen, wearing the Hokage Haori, headed towards the Hokage Building.

"Fellow villagers, please be quiet. I am Uchiha Kō, the head of the Konoha Police Force and an elder of Konoha. Please be patient. I have already informed the Lord Hokage, and he will be here shortly!" Uchiha Kō's voice was bright and clear.

"Kō Division, it's Kō Division! Yesterday, the Police Force came to my house and gave us a large sum of compensation. They also said that the Lord Hokage said our family is a family of heroes, and we can't let heroes shed blood and our families shed tears!" one of the old ladies cried.

"Kō Division, the Lord Hokage is the best leader we've ever seen! He hasn't forgotten us ninjas who shed blood and sacrificed our lives for the village!" The speaker was a crippled ninja, standing on one leg with a cane.

Seeing this, Uchiha Kō quickly reassured everyone, "Don't worry, everyone, the Lord Hokage will be here soon. I also believe that our Lord Hokage is the most benevolent and kindest Hokage!"

Just as those words were spoken, someone saw the arrival of Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen and exclaimed, "The Lord Hokage has arrived!"

"Lord Hokage!"

"Hiruzen!"

"Third ~"

In a flash, everyone changed direction and headed towards the direction of Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Back off! Back off, all of you!" The Anbu Ninjas drew their weapons to prevent the villagers from advancing any further; their duty was to protect Sarutobi Hiruzen's safety.

The villagers calmed down after witnessing this, but their eyes still held gratitude.

Sarutobi Hiruzen grabbed the wrist of one of the Anbu and shouted, "What are you doing! Put your weapons away! These are villagers of Konoha, our family. Weapons should be pointed at the enemy, at those who threaten the safety of Konoha!"

"Yes!" all the Anbu answered in unison, then sheathed their weapons and stood guard around Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Seeing this, Uchiha Kō smiled. "That's more like it. Mercy is for your own villagers, cruelty is for the ninjas of enemy countries."

"Lord Hokage! I was a Jonin in this war. My leg was severed by Sunagakure Ninja puppet, so I had to retreat from the front lines. I never expected that you, Lord Hokage, would not forget us and would send such a large sum of money." After saying this, the ninja threw down his cane and knelt on one knee.

This terrified Sarutobi Hiruzen, who quickly pushed aside the Anbu in front of him and helped him up. "What are you doing! You are a hero of Konoha! I should be thinking about your life."

"Lord Hokage ~" The ninja with the broken leg cried, while Sarutobi Hiruzen patted him on the shoulder, picked up his cane, and handed it to the ninja.

Then came the cries of Lord Hokage!, all filled with gratitude and respect. Sarutobi Hiruzen's handling of this scene was masterful.

Someone shouted, "Lord Hokage!" and the villagers immediately echoed, "Lord Hokage!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was a little stunned. He felt an instant surge of pleasure, and his face even turned slightly red—it was excitement!

"I am willing to Lord Hokage to the death!"

"I am willing to Lord Hokage to the death!"

Then the villagers repeated these words and shouted them out. Nara Seifu quietly ran out from the crowd and walked up to Uchiha Kō.

"Well done, Breeze." Uchiha Kō patted him on the shoulder.

Nara Seifu smiled and said, "Well, it's nothing special. But Kō Division, your ability to persuade the Lord Hokage to increase the compensation is truly admirable."

"Did Lu Ming teach you that?" Uchiha Kō chuckled.

Nara Seifu shook his head. "I only heard from the clan chief that it was Owl Lord who did these things. As for what follows, that's what I wanted to say myself." Nara Seifu became very serious as he said this.

Uchiha Kō looked at his expression and couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Alright, don't be so serious. You're clearly younger than me, but you look older than me!"

Uchiha Kō looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen. He was saying that everyone didn't need to be like this, but the corners of his Kakuzu stretched to his ears!

About two hours later, after everyone had dispersed, Sarutobi Hiruzen, in a good mood and carrying his various titles, arrived at the entrance of the Hokage Building and said to Uchiha Kō, "Owl-kun, come here for a moment."

Uchiha Kō quickly replied, "Yes!" He then followed Sarutobi Hiruzen up the building. It wasn't until he was seated in his office that Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke.

"King Owl, well done! This compensation is excellent! It ensures that the heroes and their families have clothing, food, and shelter." After saying this, he poured a pot of tea for Uchiha Kō.

Uchiha Kō quickly waved his hand, "It's all thanks to the Lord Hokage's excellent teaching!"

"It's just the two of us here, Lord Owl. Just say what you want to say, there's no need to be so cautious," Sarutobi Hiruzen helplessly.

Uchiha Kō is good at everything, good at everything, handsome, and strong, but he's too cautious, more cautious than a young man.

Uchiha Kō blinked and said, "The Lord Hokage have united the people and made everyone work together with one heart. Everyone believes that the Lord Hokage can lead Konoha to new heights."

Uchiha Kō thought that Sarutobi Hiruzen's words shouldn't be taken too seriously. When a leader tells you not to be reserved, it's just a polite remark. If you take it seriously, it means you've narrowed your path!

Seeing how slippery Uchiha Kō, Sarutobi Hiruzen Ichiraku, "You, you... thank you for this, Owl-kun. Is there anything you want?"
