Konoha's Movements

The Nara Clan members were gathered in the clan head's room. Nara Ji said with a serious expression, "Clan Head! This coup in Konoha is legitimate and legal. Minister Qingcheng has already sent someone to the Land of Fire and obtained Letter of Recommendation from the daimyo of the Land of Fire. Becoming the Fifth Hokage is just around the corner."

Upon hearing these words, the members of the Nara Clan began to ponder, and then each offered their own opinions.

The Nara Clan members spoke up, saying, "The Third Hokage is old and no longer the Former Ninja Hero. Uchiha Qingcheng is too evil, and his methods are extremely insidious and ruthless. The Third Hokage is no match for this Uchiha Clan."

Nara Ji said sternly, "Clan Head! Our Nara Clan simply cannot afford to offend this Uchiha Qingcheng. He will retaliate against everyone who offends him, at best confiscating their property, at worst wiping Danzo. His ruthlessness surpasses even that of Danzo."

Nara Shikadai also made his decision. With his arms crossed and a serious expression, he said, "Remember, when Uchiha Qingcheng takes over as Hokage, we must be the first to support them, and then we should arrange for some of our clansmen to join the Uchiha Police Force. The Third Hokage is indeed not the Shinobi Hero of the past. It might not be a bad thing for Konoha to have an ambitious Fifth Hokage."

All the members of the Nara Clan responded, "Understood, Clan Head. We will act according to the circumstances and will not cause trouble for the clan."

The heads of the various ninja clans began to warn their members against conflict with the Police Forces or the Sarutobi Clan, arguing that it would bring no benefit to their clans and that they should not become political pawns in a losing political battle.

The head of the Yamanaka Clan summoned all the clan members, except for Yamanaka Fu, who was still participating in the coup. The Yamanaka Clan was small, with only a little over a hundred members in total, including Yamanaka Jieyi.

At this moment, Yamanaka Jieyi looked conflicted. Looking at Yamanaka Inoichi, who had a serious expression, she thought to herself, "It's really too reckless for my Yamanaka Fu to participate in such a threatening coup."

Yamanaka Inoichi warned the clansmen, "It's good to offer help in times of need, but the very act of giving might backfire. So, I urge everyone not to act rashly. If the coup at the Police Force fails, we must sever ties with Yamanaka Fu and declare to the outside world that Yamanaka Fu is at odds with our Yamanaka Clan."

All the Yamanaka tribesmen, upon hearing their chieftain's words, replied solemnly, "We understand, Clan Head. We will not act rashly like the Yamanaka Fu."

Looking at all his clansmen, Yamanaka Inoichi understood the seriousness of the matter and said solemnly, "Kikui, you stay here. The rest of you, go back and rest! See what the situation is like in Konoha this morning. We'll suspend business for the next few days."

All the clansmen replied solemnly, "Yes, Clan Head. We've been staying within the clan these past few days and won't easily venture into the streets of Konoha. We'll wait until things stabilize in Konoha."

Soon, all the Yamanaka tribesmen left the chieftain's room, leaving only Yamanaka Jieyi and the Yamanaka chieftain.

Yamanaka Inoichi said with a serious expression, "It's not that I'm deliberately preventing you from going to find that Uchiha Qingcheng, but at this time, the situation in Konoha is too complicated, and that Uchiha Qingcheng is still plotting a coup in Konoha."

Yamanaka Inoichi emphasized again, "If you go and stay with him now, you'll be pushing the Yamanaka Clan into a fire pit. If you miss this Uchiha Clan coup, you can do whatever you want."

Upon hearing this, Yamanaka Jieyi immediately nodded and said obediently, "Uncle Inoichi, I understand. The Police Force is now a target of public criticism and it's easy for them to get burned. I can't drag the family into this mess, so I haven't left the house this month."

Upon hearing Yamanaka Inoichi said with a look of satisfaction, "You're much smarter than A-Feng. If he had thought of the family, he wouldn't have been so stubborn as to stage a coup."

Yamanaka Inoichi continued cursing, "This Yamanaka Fu is still on the street, arresting so many villagers. He's just causing trouble for our Yamanaka Clan. He even fined his own family members and shut down our two flower shops, saying they were all illegal buildings and would be closed if we didn't pay the fines."

After saying that, Yamanaka Inoichi shook his head in disgust and continued, "He probably had his brain damaged by Danzo when he was in Root, and now he can't distinguish between clans anymore. Kiku, you and Afu are very familiar with each other, tell him next time not to arrest any more Yamanaka Clan members, and also not to shut down our clan's flower shop."

Upon hearing this, Yamanaka Jieyi immediately nodded, looking surprised, and said, "I understand, Uncle Inoichi. Next time I'll tell Yamanaka Fu to be more rational."

Meanwhile, a large group of bespectacled members of the Aburame Clan were gathered in the patriarch's room.

Seeing that all the clansmen had arrived, Aburame Shibi said with a serious expression, "Torune went to the Land of Fire and even got Letter of Recommendation from the Daimyo. Uchiha Qingcheng will soon take over. Hiruzen Sarutobi can't defeat Uchiha Qingcheng, so we must be prepared. When the Uchiha Clan become Hokage, we must stand behind him, just like Torune, and support the Uchiha Clan."

All the Aburame tribe members, upon hearing their chieftain's words, replied solemnly, "Understood, Clan Head. We will stand with Torune on the same side."

Aburame Torune is one of the strongest fighters in the Aburame Clan. Although he is only fourteen years old, his Nano Parasitic Insects are currently the strongest insects in the Aburame Clan, capable of killing anyone who touches them.

Therefore, Aburame Torune the Aburame Clan to support Uchiha Qingcheng to become the Fifth Hokage. All members of the Aburame Clan began to side with Uchiha Qingcheng, declaring they would be the first to stand up and support him.

The Uchiha Clan members, Yugao, Anko Mitarashi, and Kurenai Yuhi, hadn't slept all night. Hearing the deafening explosion coming from the Sarutobi Clan's location, Yugao and the others became even more worried.

Kurenai Yuhi said with a serious expression, "I wonder how Qingcheng is doing. Did he defeat the Evil Hiruzen Sarutobi? I really want to go and see him."

Seeing the worried Kurenai, Yugao comforted her, "Sister Kurenai, I think the war will end soon. Qingcheng has the Mangekyō Sharingan and such a huge amount of Chakra; Hiruzen Sarutobi simply can't handle him."

Hearing Yugao's words, Anko Mitarashi's face filled with confidence. She said seriously, "Qingcheng also knows powerful Sealing Jutsu. Although Hiruzen Sarutobi is known as the Strongest Hokage, I estimate that he can't even beat Orochimaru. But Qingcheng can beat Orochimaru to a pulp. Qingcheng 'Orochimaru weak spot with Genjutsu."

At this point, Anko Mitarashi subconsciously wanted to imitate Orochimaru and stick out her tongue to lick her lips, but then she remembered that she had only stuck out her tongue in front of Qingcheng and been praised by Qingcheng, saying, "Your tongue is very flexible; it should be quite useful." Then Qingcheng pressed her head down.

Anko Mitarashi immediately stopped Orochimaru's signature move and said awkwardly, "Sister Kurenai, do you guys like sticking your tongues out?"

Upon hearing Anko Mitarashi's question, Yugao said with a serious face, "Why are you sticking out your tongue? That weird gesture is too unsightly."
