A Bountiful Haul

That evening, all the Police Force personnel returned to headquarters, looking smug and proud, clearly having achieved great success in the operation.

Shouhon Yihan said excitedly, "Minister, we have gained 13.8 billion Ryo from the Beautiful Konoha Plan. Some of these were converted into goods, such as more than 50 million Explosive Tags and more than 200,000 sets of various brand-new ninja tools."

Shouhon Yihan turned to another page of the list and said with a smile, "There are still more than 150 people in the current Police Force Prison who haven't paid their fines. Once they all pay, we'll have to add another 300 million Ryo."

Qingcheng, sitting in the minister's seat, initially maintained a serious demeanor, but upon hearing that Shouhon Yihan had amassed over 13.8 billion, he began to lose his composure.

Qingcheng immediately stood up and said with a face full of praise, "Vice Minister Zhang, you are truly a genius of the Police Force. I have decided to award you 100 million. You are undoubtedly the outstanding member of the Police Force this year."

Upon hearing this, Yamanaka Fu replied earnestly, "Minister, our contributions are also partly due to Aburame Torune and me. Don't we deserve to be considered outstanding cadres?"

Looking at Yamanaka Fu, who was asking for a reward, Qingcheng immediately praised him, saying, "You and Aburame Torune are both outstanding cadres in our Police Force. You two are also eligible for this year's Outstanding Cadre Award."

Upon hearing Qingcheng's words, Yamanaka Fu's face lit up with a smile, and he excitedly said, "Lord Captain! Do you have any Ninjutsu suitable for our Yamanaka Clan? I also want to learn powerful Ninjutsu!"

Aburame Torune nodded expectantly, smiling broadly, and said, "Lord Captain! I also want powerful Ninjutsu. Do you have any Ninjutsu suitable for our Aburame Clan?"

Seeing these two directly asking Qingcheng for Ninjutsu, Shouhon Yihan immediately seized the opportunity and sternly reprimanded them, "You two brats, you've overstepped your bounds! You can only take what the Minister gives you; you can't ask for what he doesn't give you!"

Then Shouhon Yihan looked at Qingcheng with a fawning expression and said expectantly, "Minister! I also want a few advanced Ninjutsu. My strength is starting to wane in Konoha."

Shouhon Yihan then said with a pitiful look, "Today I was fined by the Hyuga Clan members and almost got beaten to death by them. Minister, you don't want to lose a brave subordinate like me, do you?"

The other members of the Police Force looked at Qingcheng expectantly and said one after another, "Minister, the Beautiful Konoha Village Plan is an extremely dangerous plan. Our strength is limited. We might sacrifice ourselves for Konoha next time we go to collect fines."

Qingcheng looked at these Police Force, all of whom were improving their strength, and then thought to himself, "This Beautiful Konoha Plan can't be done Tenten. Once a month will do. We need to give the villagers of Konoha and the major ninja clans a break."

Qingcheng said with a serious expression, "Killing the goose that lays the golden eggs is a very foolish method. Letting these members of the Police Force improve their skills will allow them to better engage in shady dealings in the future."

Qingcheng said with a serious expression, "You are all outstanding members of the Police Force. You all completed your missions exceptionally well today. When the Third Hokage finds out, he will praise you for being full of the Will of Fire."

Upon hearing Qingcheng's words, all the members of the Police Force shouted, "Where leaves dance, fines will never cease!"

Qingcheng looked at these Police Force personnel; their pockets were bulging, and some even had seven or eight ninja tool pouches hanging from their bodies, clearly indicating they had been smuggled from the Sarutobi Clan's ninja tool shop.

Qingcheng smiled and said, "You've all made a fortune, so I won't give you any monetary rewards. Instead, I'll give you ten scrolls of advanced Ninjutsu. You can study them together!"

Shouhon Yihan smiled and said, "Minister, are we still going to carry out the Konoha Beautification Plan tomorrow? I see those Hyuga Clan and some wealthy people who consider themselves the strongest clan in Konoha. Why don't we go and take care of them tomorrow!"

Some members of the Hyuga Branch Family's Police Force immediately shouted, "Those are members of the Hyuga Main Family. They have many properties in Konoha. I'll lead the way; let's just raid them, how about that?"

Looking at this member of the branch family's Hyuga clan, Qingcheng was filled with hatred for the Main Family and wished he could lead the Police Force to raid their home.

Qingcheng then said with a serious expression, "What's your name? Your suggestion is good, but you've overstepped your bounds. The Beautiful Konoha Plan is the Third Hokage's decision, not our Police Force's raid."

Qingcheng emphasized again, "Don't get things backwards. All of this is at the request of the Third Hokage, don't you understand, you idiot?"

The member of the Hyuga Branch Family said with a look of shame, "I'm sorry, Captain. I overstepped my bounds. I spoke without thinking. Please forgive me."

Qingcheng then took out ten more scrolls of B-rank Ninjutsu and placed them directly on the table. These Ninjutsu were: Wind Release: Great Vacuum Sphere, Wind Release: Vacuum Sphere, Fire Release: Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique, and Fire Release: Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique.

There are also Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique, Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique, Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet Technique, Earth Release: Earth Release: Earth Flow Connecting Wall Technique, Lightning Release: Lightning Tiger Pouncing, Lightning Release: Lightning Tornado Technique, and so on.

There are two copies of each type of Ninjutsu, and they are all B-rank Ninjutsu.

Qingcheng then said, "You can take them and observe each other first. Anyway, with your Chakra, you can only release three B-rank Ninjutsu at most. Learning more will not help improve your strength."

Qingcheng generally wouldn't bother learning those B-rank Ninjutsu; he'd only go for at least A-rank Ninjutsu, because that's what he'd be willing to spend time studying.

Shouhon Yihan was utterly shocked by Qingcheng's generous gesture of releasing ten volumes of advanced Ninjutsu in one go. She said with admiration, "As expected of the club leader, his performance is truly impressive."

All the members of the Police Force looked at Qingcheng in astonishment and shouted, "Long live the Minister! Long live the Police Force! We are willing to dedicate ourselves to the Police Force until our dying breath!"

Looking at the high-spirited members of the Police Force, Qingcheng was overjoyed. He thought to himself, "With the morale of the troops in hand, I can consider a coup and get the Third Hokage kicked as soon as possible."

In front of all the Police Force, Qingcheng handed Shouhon Yihan a scroll of advanced Ninjutsu, and said seriously, "This Ninjutsu is called Water Release: Vortex Water Blade. It's a powerful A-rank Water Release Ninjutsu that can cut through huge steel plates with sharp whirlpool water blades. It's an extremely powerful Ninjutsu."

All the security personnel exclaimed in surprise as Qingcheng pulled out A-rank Ninjutsu, "The department head is so generous! He actually used a forbidden-rank Ninjutsu to reward an outstanding officer!"

Even Shouhon Yihan was stunned, exclaiming in shock, "My god? It really is top-tier Ninjutsu! Thank you, Minister! From now on, I'll be your dog, woof woof woof!"
