Give Me Some Face

Looking at the serious and stern Police Force, Anko Mitarashi felt extremely flustered. She thought to herself, "It's over, it's all over. They're actually going to arrest me. Should I just surrender, or should I just surrender?"

Anko Mitarashi swallowed hard, her face filled with panic, and said, "Big brothers, I promise I won't eat dumplings anymore, please don't be angry, I really don't dare to say anything more. I just came back from a mission, and I didn't know that the Third Hokage had actually implemented the Beauty Plan. I'm so sorry."

A ninja from the Police Force standing nearby snapped, "If 'sorry' was enough, what would be the point of having our Police Force? Are you going to pay your fine first, or come back with us to sit on the Tiger Bench?"

Anko Mitarashi was also full of surprise. Hearing these members of the Police Force say that she would have to eat prison food and be put on the Tiger Bench, she thought to herself, "Will my perky and sexy butt be scarred if I sit on the Tiger Bench? No, I can't sit on the Tiger Bench, and I can't eat prison food either. How can I face people otherwise?"

Then, with a smile, Anko Mitarashi said, "Brothers, if I choose to pay the fine, can I avoid sitting on the Tiger Bench?"

Upon hearing this, the Police Force smiled and said, "Paying the fine will save you from going to jail at the Police Force and being put on the Tiger Bench, but the amount is a bit high. Can you afford it?"

Hearing this, Anko Mitarashi's face tensed up, and she swallowed hard, making a gulping sound.

Anko Mitarashi looked nervous and uneasy again, and then said, "How much of a fine should I pay? Can you make an exception? I'm just an ordinary Chunin, and I don't have much money left. I spent it all on dumplings, sob sob sob."

These Police Force, with serious expressions, said, "You were eating dumplings while walking, ruining the village's beautiful image. Since this is your first offense, we'll just fine you ten million Ryo as a token gesture."

Upon hearing this, Anko Mitarashi's face filled with surprise, and she said angrily, "I just ate a dumpling, and you're fining me ten million? This is robbery! I'm going to the Hokage Building to report you!" With that, Anko Mitarashi turned to leave.

The Police Force all looked excited and said, "This isn't robbery. This is our Police Force generating revenue for the Hokage. How dare you slander us? Add another ten million to the fine!"

The Police Force said excitedly, "Nobody in Konoha dares to talk to us like this now, because anyone who does is bankrupt. If you can't pay the fine, our Police Force will raid your home tonight, and you won't be getting out of the Police Force Prison."

Hearing this, Anko Mitarashi was shocked. She thought to herself, "What's going on in Konoha? The changes are too drastic! First, the Uchiha Clan was wiped out by Uchiha Itachi, then Uchiha Qingcheng appeared out of nowhere and killed Danzo, and then the Third Hokage announced the Konoha Beautification Plan."

Anko Mitarashi exclaimed in surprise, "Konoha has become something I don't recognize. Am I under Genjutsu?"

A large group of Police Force personnel immediately arrested Anko Mitarashi and prepared to take her to the Police Force Prison.

This scene was witnessed by Qingcheng and the others. Yugao said with a serious expression, "Is that Anko Mitarashi? Why is she being targeted by the Police Force?"

Kurenai Yuhi and Anko Mitarashi were very close. Seeing Anko Mitarashi being arrested by the Police Force, she turned to Qingcheng and said with a smile, "Qingcheng! I'll have to trouble you again. She's a good friend of mine. Go and bail her out! Otherwise, she'll be going to jail."

Yugao said very seriously, "The prison of the Police Force is too dark. It's full of pepper spray and Tiger Benches. Meiling's father, Ashi-moto Kankan, such a powerful Elite Jonin, came out with his buttocks rotting and had to pay a fine of more than 100 million."

Kurenai Yuhi also started to worry about Anko Mitarashi, and then said, "Yes, Anko Mitarashi's bottom is very tender. If she sits on the Tiger Bench, it will never recover."

Upon hearing Hong and Yugao's words, Qingcheng nodded directly and said with a smile, "It's alright, I'll protect her. The Third Hokage will give me face."

Qingcheng dared not take the blame. If he told Kurenai Yuhi and Yugao that he was the one who orchestrated the Konoha Beautification Plan, they would immediately pack their bags and leave the Uchiha Clan. Therefore, it was safest for Qingcheng to place the blame on the Third Hokage's forehead.

So Qingcheng told everyone he met, "This plan was done by Shouhon Yihan and the Third Hokage, and it has nothing to do with me, Uchiha Qingcheng. I didn't do anything."

Qingcheng strode directly to the Police Force personnel. A group of them, seeing Qingcheng approach, all wore respectful expressions and greeted him, "Minister! Why have you come in person? What are your orders?"

Upon hearing this, Qingcheng said with a serious expression, "You have all overstepped your bounds. This woman is a friend of the minister. Your actions were far too rough, like you were catching a chick."

At this moment, Anko Mitarashi's feet were dangling in the air, being lifted up by seven or eight Police Force like a little chick.

The funniest part was that Anko Mitarashi was tied up by the Police Force, and the fishnet outfit she was wearing couldn't cover her impressive figure at all.

At this moment, Anko Mitarashi saw Qingcheng walking over, so righteous and indignant, her face full of gratitude. She then said, "Minister Qingcheng, thank you for your help. Could you please help me as well? I don't want to be put on the Tiger Bench; my butt can't take it at all."

The officer from the Police Force glanced at Qingcheng and immediately realized what was going on. He said with a serious expression, "Reporting to the Minister, we did not overstep our bounds. It was all done by the Third Hokage. Look at the Beautiful Konoha Plan. These are all the Third Hokage's requirements. We are just doing what the village's higher-ups want. Please forgive us if there are any shortcomings."

Upon hearing this, Anko Mitarashi's face filled with anger, and she immediately retorted, "The Third Hokage is truly senile, actually launching such a vicious extortion plan! I refuse to accept this!"

A member of the Police Force standing nearby immediately reprimanded, "Mitarashi Anko, how dare you insult the Third Hokage! Add a fine of ten million yen and a year of torture on the Tiger Bench!"

Upon hearing this, Anko Mitarashi's face filled with surprise, and she said in a panic, "I was just saying, can you pretend you didn't hear me?"

Qingcheng then said with a serious expression, "I will cover her fine and deduct it from my salary next month. I've protected this woman, and I hope everyone can give me some face."

Immediately, a large group of Police Force personnel shouted, "Understood, Minister! We'll release her right away!"
