Xiao Ge Arrives

Kakashi was walking down the street, holding a copy of "Family Paradise," when he was suddenly surrounded by a large group of Police Force.

Kakashi was also dumbfounded, staring at the large group of Police Force, all of whom were glaring at him fiercely. Some of the Police Force personnel, however, had eyes full of greed, as if they were looking at a beautiful woman.

Kakashi raised his hands above his head, looking embarrassed, and said, "Next time I walk, can I please not look at 'Icha Icha Paradise'? Can this fine be cancelled?"

Upon hearing Kakashi's words, Monashi Chuji said with a serious expression, "Let's go to the Police Force prison first! You're Elite Jonin of Konoha, you have a lot of savings."

Yamanaka Fu also said sternly, "Kakashi, Jonin, your influence is extremely negative. As the captain of the Anbu, you've been reading obscene books while walking, ruining the Third Hokage's Beautiful Konoha Plan."

The Monashi Chuji shouted again, "We're fining you ten million Ryo. Pay up now, or you'll be eating at the Police Force!"

Kakashi felt his pockets, preparing to pay the fine, then rummaged through his pockets again and pulled out a bunch of "Icha Icha Paradise" items.

Kakashi then said awkwardly, "I'm sorry everyone, I've spent all my money. I bought the limited edition 'Icha Icha Paradise. Could I use this to pay off the fine?"

Seeing Kakashi pull out another bunch of "Icha Icha Paradise, the Monashi Chuji (a term for someone who is overly enthusiastic about pornography) added several more marks to the fine slip, then scolded, "You actually publicly distributed pornographic books, the fine is increased by another 20 million Ryo!"

Yamanaka Fu also said sternly, "An additional 20 million in fines will be imposed. I am still a minor, and you dared to distribute pornographic books to me. I'm going to report you to the minister."

Kakashi instantly broke out in a sweat, looking embarrassed, and said, "Could I owe you this for now, and pay you back as part of a mission?"

Upon hearing this, Yamanaka Fu immediately rebuked him, "Kakashi, you've overstepped your bounds. Our Police Force never allows fines to be paid on credit; it's all cash. If you can't pay, you'll be in jail."

Kakashi, the Monashi Chuji, spoke up again, "Kakashi, don't even think about running away. We will surround the Hatake Clan chief's residence and follow you when you go on missions until we collect the fine."

Upon hearing this, Kakashi wore an embarrassed expression again, and said angrily, "This is really too much trouble. This Police Force is so greedy. I have to pay 50 million Ryo just for reading a romance novel."

Yamanaka Fu then said with a serious expression, "Although you are Copy Ninja, don't even think about arresting me. This is the Third Hokage's order. You don't want to become missing-nin, do you?"

Upon hearing this, Kakashi immediately raised his hands, looking utterly astonished, and said, "Remember to tell the Third Hokage that I'm going to the Konoha Police Force prison. Also, take good care of my 'Icha Icha Paradise'."

Immediately, a group of Police Force personnel took Kakashi away.

Looking at the books Kakashi left behind, Yamanaka Fu said excitedly, "They're all custom editions! I'll keep them safe and take them home tonight to read slowly, hehe."

The Monashi Chuji quickly spotted the business opportunity and said greedily, "Captain Yamanaka! These bookstores must be very rich. They're probably still selling pornographic books. Let's go and raid them!"

Upon hearing this, Yamanaka Fu exclaimed with delight, "Yes, yes, yes! These bookstores selling pornographic books must be rich. Let's raid them first!"

Immediately afterwards, a large Police Force personnel, following Yamanaka Fu, looking like wolves and tigers, rushed directly to various bookstores in Konoha, intending to wipe out all of Konoha's erotic books in one fell swoop.

Kakashi was taken to the Police Force building, where he watched as Police Force personnel went in and out, busy with fines and raids.

Kakashi heard screams echoing from the Police Force's prison again, and thought to himself, "This is truly terrible. These Police Force members are incredibly brutal."

The Police Force who had grabbed Kakashi said menacingly, "Hurry up and go inside. You're Elite Jonin of Konoha, so we've prepared a private room for you. Otherwise, you'll have to pay the fine, or our Police Force will raid your home."

Upon hearing this, Kakashi quickly added, "Could you please inform Minister Qingcheng for me? He's a good friend of mine. Could you make an exception and say that Brother Xiao has arrived?"

Upon hearing Kakashi's words, the Police Force immediately said, "You can't lie to us. Our captain's fines are much heavier. I advise you to be honest."

Kakashi's face darkened, and he said sternly, "They really are good friends. Quickly call them for me. We're all from the same village, how could I lie to them?"

Some of the Police Force personnel had heard of Kakashi's reputation, so they immediately said, "Kakashi-senpai, please wait here for a moment. We'll go and inform the captain right away."

Meanwhile, in the minister's office, Qingcheng was still playing ranked games with Inuzuka Hana when he suddenly heard a report from the doorway, "Minister, Jonin Kakashi wants to see you. He said Xiao Ge is here."

The office, which had been making a creaking noise, suddenly fell silent.

The member of the Qingcheng Police Force who came to inform him was instantly drenched in sweat and said with an embarrassed look, "I overstepped my bounds again. I shouldn't have been so reckless and disturbed the minister's rest. I hope he won't give me a hard time later!"

Qingcheng quickly stood up, started dressing, and then yelled at the door, "What? Brother Xiao is here? How dare you disturb my ranked game? You've overstepped your bounds again!"

Inuzuka Hana was also drenched in sweat; the camouflage paint on her face had been wiped off by Qingcheng, leaving her fair complexion slightly flushed.

Then, Inuzuka Hana said seriously, "That Owl-senpai is Kakashi. His codename in the Anbu is Owl."

Upon hearing this, Qingcheng immediately realized what was happening and said to the door with a serious expression, "Just tell me Kakashi wanted to see me, why all this Brother Xiao coming?"

Soon, Qingcheng arrived at the hall and saw Kakashi surrounded by a group of Police Force personnel, looking like a lamb among wolves.

Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Qingcheng's arrival and said with a smile, "Minister Qingcheng, I'm really sorry to trouble you this time. I didn't know the Third Hokage had issued such a plan."

Upon seeing Qingcheng's arrival, the members of the Police Force greeted him, "Good afternoon, Minister."

Qingcheng looked at Kakashi's beaming face and nodded directly, indicating that it wasn't a big deal.

Qingcheng rebuked the security personnel, "You've overstepped your bounds again! You even arrested Xiao Ge! Do you have any Konoha? Do you even respect me, your department head?"

One of the Police Force officers, seeing Qingcheng's wicked smile, knew he was about to say something sarcastic and said directly, "Minister, we haven't overstepped our bounds. Look at this Beautiful Konoha Plan; it's all the Third Hokage's request. We've always acted legally and in accordance with regulations."

Qingcheng spoke again, saying, "You have indeed not overstepped your bounds. This Beautiful Konoha Plan was indeed a request from the Third Hokage."

Kakashi looked like he'd swallowed a fly, thinking to himself, "Didn't you ask the Third Hokage for his signature last night? How did it become the Third Hokage's request? What's going on?"
