Battle Village

When the members of the Uchiha One-Dragon Company finished playing the Konoha Battle Song, the villagers, still unable to contain their passion, shouted again with burning enthusiasm, "Long live the Fifth Hokage!"

The voices of hundreds of thousands of people were incredibly powerful and majestic, especially those of the Police Force, whose voices became hoarse from shouting.

Naruto said with a look of admiration, "Brother Qingcheng is so cool! When I become Hokage, I will definitely spend money to invite this band over and have them play a song for me. This Konoha Battle Song is so inspiring, it truly deserves to be the Hokage's coronation song."

Upon hearing Naruto's words, Sasuke said with a mocking expression, "This is the band from our Uchiha One-Dragon Company. If I become the Sixth Hokage, I only need to shout it, and they'll all have to play the Konoha Battle Song for me for free."

Yamahuku and Toraji stood by, completely bewildered as Sasuke and Naruto started fighting again.

Yamahuku then shouted with a serious expression, "Could you two please keep your voices down? This is the Fifth Hokage's Fifth Hokage to speak. We need to hear his policies and guidelines."

The villagers nearby also chimed in, criticizing Naruto and Sasuke, saying, "Can't you two elementary school kids behave yourselves? Today is the Fifth Hokage's inauguration ceremony, and you've been making a racket like this all day. When will you stop?"

Naruto looked at the many villagers who were starting to blame him, and then shouted angrily, "Uchiha Sasuke did it too, so why are you all criticizing me?"

Some villagers, seeing Naruto's defiance, spoke up, "Are you from the Uchiha Clan? He's the Fifth Hokage's brother, you're not from the Uchiha Clan, why should we tolerate you?"

Upon hearing such accusations, Naruto's face flushed red and then paled, before he angrily retorted, "I'm also the son of the Fourth Hokage, why can't I have some privileges? Besides, I'm going to become the Sixth Hokage someday, and you still talk to me like this!"

Some villagers directly cursed, "Your father is dead. Wait until he gets out before you ask for special privileges!"

Some clan ninjas, seeing the noisy crowd, shouted, "Stop arguing! The Police Force is coming again soon. Do you want to be tortured on the Tiger Bench?"

Upon hearing this, Naruto immediately became obedient, his face falling silent.

However, Naruto was still very resentful and thought to himself, "I almost got arrested by the Police Force for fighting with Sasuke. These Police Force officers are so biased! They only came to arrest me and not Sasuke. They even fined me, an elementary school student, more than two million yen, and said that blond-haired guy was a delinquent and wanted to double the fine. If it weren't for Uncle Yamahuku speaking up for me, I would be in jail now."

Qingcheng watched Naruto and Sasuke causing quite a commotion below the Hokage Building and thought to himself, "Those Uchiha Sasuke idiots, they actually came here to cause trouble, they're such fools."

Qingcheng also saw the Konoha 12 Genin and the heads of the various ninja clans; almost all of them were there, applauding below the Hokage Building.

Sakura's mother, along with Sakura, were downstairs holding a banner, while Sakura's father, having shaved off his beard, was shouting among the villagers.

Most of the jubilant civilians had received financial aid from Qingcheng. Fujikawa and a group of the Publicity Department members were still there, holding cameras and filming Qingcheng's profile.

Tsunade stood behind Qingcheng, looking down at the crowd of villagers welcoming Qingcheng, none of whom mentioned her name. She sighed inwardly.

Tsunade said awkwardly, "I didn't expect Konoha to have become like this. Has my reputation in the village become so weak? I don't even have a single supporter."

Qingcheng stood on the high platform and waved his hand, indicating that everyone should wait a moment, as the Fifth Hokage was about to speak.

All the shouting villagers stopped shouting upon seeing Qingcheng's gesture, looking at Qingcheng with admiration and waiting for the Fifth Hokage to speak.

Seeing the hundreds of thousands of people completely silent, Qingcheng smiled and said, "Good morning, fellow Sarutobi Clan of Konoha! Today we have successfully thwarted the Sarutobi Clan's Konoha Crush Plan and intercepted 100 billion Ryo from them."

Upon hearing the Fifth Hokage's words, all the villagers were filled with anger and began to curse, "I knew that Hiruzen Sarutobi was no good! He embezzled public funds to build up the Sarutobi Clan and even let Danzo harm the villagers!"

Some villagers even shouted, "Down with Hiruzen Sarutobi! Down with this damned pedophile!"

Tsunade watched as Qingcheng used the Third Hokage as a stepping stone, and cursed inwardly, "That Evil Uchiha, after toying with the Third Hokage to death, they still drag him out to trample on him."

Qingcheng waved his hand again, signaling all the villagers to be quiet.

The villagers, who had just been furious, changed their expressions to respectful upon seeing Qingcheng's actions, and all called out, "Fifth Hokage, please continue."

The scene immediately fell silent again, with hundreds of thousands of people standing there respectfully, waiting for the Fifth Hokage to speak.

Qingcheng then said with a serious expression, "Today is my first day as the Fifth Hokage. I will keep in mind the original intention of First Hokage First Hokage and his Will of Fire, and help all the villagers get out of poverty and become rich as soon as possible, so that everyone's pockets will be full. Is that alright?"

All the Konoha and Konoha Ninja, upon hearing that the Fifth Hokage would help them become wealthy, shouted with gratitude, "Thank you, Fifth Hokage! Thank you, Fifth Hokage! Long live the Fifth Hokage!"

The Konoha are now penniless after being fined numerous times by the Police Forces. Many elderly ninjas are struggling to afford food. All these Konoha have become more realistic, no longer foolishly believing in the Will of Fire, and instead idolizing the Will of Ryo.

Seeing the enthusiastic villagers and the excited Konoha Ninja, Qingcheng thought to himself, "We must reform as soon as possible, help them become stronger, and then turn Konoha into a fighting ninja village. We can then go to the Land of Fire and other major ninja villages to plunder their resources and bring them all to Konoha."

Qingcheng then said with a serious expression, "I will carry out ninja reforms, sharing all the Ninjutsu of the Uchiha Clan so that all Konoha Ninjas will have the opportunity to learn more advanced Ninjutsu."

Upon hearing this, the villagers reacted as if they had heard a bombshell, their faces lighting up with excitement as they shouted, "Long live the Hokage! Long live the Fifth Hokage!"

All the civilian ninjas were filled with happiness, shouting, "We also have the opportunity to learn the Uchiha Clan's Ninjutsu? This is amazing!"

Some students from other schools, upon hearing this, looked excited, thinking to themselves, "We can learn advanced Ninjutsu too! The Uchiha Clan's Ninjutsu is the strongest in Konoha!"

All the ninjas and civilians shouted at the top of their lungs, "Thank you, Fifth Hokage! Thank you, Fifth Hokage!"

Looking at the lively and excited villagers, Qingcheng waved his hand again, preparing to drop a few more bombshells.

Qingcheng then said with a serious expression, "I will also create more job opportunities in the village so that you can all receive appropriate wages, change the current situation of Konoha, and make our Konoha once again the strongest ninja village among the Five Great Nations."

Upon hearing these words, all the Konoha were filled with passion and shouted in unison, "Konoha is the strongest! Konoha is the strongest!"

All the civilian ninjas and villagers looked at the Fifth Hokage with excitement, thinking to themselves, "We'll never be bullied again. It really is thanks to the Uchiha Clan that Konoha can become the strongest ninja village."

Some villagers directly cursed, "It's all that Evil Hiruzen Sarutobi's fault! He actually took our money to pay reparations to other ninja villages. He deserves to die! He used our money to support our enemies!"

Some villagers even shouted, "And that Danzo! He actually led the Hidden Cloud Village to invade Konoha, turning our Konoha into the weakest Kage village! They're all a bunch of bastards!"
