Study Room

The entire conference room fell silent again, with over two thousand people looking expectantly at Qingcheng, waiting for the Fifth Hokage to continue speaking.

Seeing that the meeting room was quiet, Qingcheng said with a serious expression, "Our Konoha's system still has some unreasonable aspects, and I want to change some of the rules here."

Everyone looked at Qingcheng expectantly, eager to hear what systems the Fifth Hokage wanted to change, and what those systems were unreasonable.

Qingcheng then said with a serious expression, "Do you all still remember Konoha's White Fang?"

Kakashi was shocked again upon hearing the Fifth Hokage's words, and thought to himself, "Could it be that the Fifth Hokage is preparing to vindicate my father?"

The Konoha Jonin, upon hearing the Fifth Hokage's words, were all surprised and exclaimed, "White Fang abandoned his mission for his comrades, and was ultimately forced to his death by Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo!"

Some clan ninjas also said with regret, "White Fang was a powerful ninja, but unfortunately he was born at the wrong time, meeting Hiruzen Sarutobi and Shimura Danzō, those bastards. It's really a pity."

Even Tsunade was there with regret, saying with a sigh, "White Fang is an excellent Konoha Ninja, he will always be worthy of Konoha."

Looking at the ninjas who were discussing amongst themselves, Qingcheng said with a serious expression, "White Fang Assistant Hokage is an excellent ninja. He was right to abandon the mission to protect his comrades."

Qingcheng emphasized again with a serious expression, "And that's absolutely right. Missions are always static, but people are dynamic. Anyone can do a mission, but there's only ever one person. Once they die, they're gone forever."

Qingcheng sighed again and said with a serious expression, "The death of White Fang Assistant Hokage is a loss for Konoha. Otherwise, Konoha would not have fallen to such a predicament during the Third Great Ninja War, where even retired old ninjas were sent to participate in the Ninja World War. This was all caused by the weak and incompetent Hiruzen Sarutobi."

Kakashi, upon hearing Qingcheng's words, was filled with shock and then said with deep emotion, "I am truly grateful to the Fifth Hokage. You have cleared my father's name and washed away the shame from his body. I am deeply grateful."

Kakashi's face was filled with anger again. He recalled his childhood, how his father had abandoned a mission to save someone, and was secretly slandered by Danzo and others, who spread rumors about him. Even the Hokage's half-sleeve was taken back by the Konoha High Command. That half-sleeve was his father's last honor. Unable to bear the villagers' insults, his father ultimately chose to commit suicide.

Kakashi recalled how he had been insulted by the villagers because of his father's situation. They pointed at him and called him a coward, a weak and incompetent son of White Fang, saying he would be a coward forever.

However, upon hearing Qingcheng's words, Kakashi said with a serious expression, "My father is not a coward, nor is he the weak and incompetent Hatake Sakumo. He is Elite Jonin of Konoha, and the Konoha's White Fang who strikes fear into the hearts of his enemies."

Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu didn't dare to speak. They were somewhat involved in the White Fang incident, though not a major one. But seeing the impassioned Konoha Jonin, they were certain that if they said anything wrong, they'd be beaten to a pulp by these ninjas.

Hizashi Hyuga was the first to speak up, agreeing, "The suicide of White Fang Assistant Hokage must be attributed to Hiruzen Sarutobi. I propose that Hiruzen Sarutobi's Hokage Rock be removed, and the Fifth Hokage's Hokage Rock be Hiruzen Sarutobi there instead. All related books left behind by Hiruzen Sarutobi should also be burned."

Hizashi Hyuga spoke up again, saying, "The expenses for this work will be covered by our Hyuga Clan. Our Hyuga Clan will meticulously carve the Fifth Hokage's Hokage Rock until it is flawless."

Hizashi Hyuga deeply resented the Konoha High Command, especially Hiruzen Sarutobi, so he naturally held Uchiha Qingcheng, who Hiruzen Sarutobi, in higher regard.

Qingcheng thought for a moment, then said with a serious expression, "Hizashi, your suggestion is excellent. You will take the lead in this matter. Hokage Rock cannot be too big, just one or two times larger than the Third Hokage's. If it's too big, I'm afraid it won't be able to fit on the Shadow Cliff and will crowd the Fourth Hokage's Kage Rock."

Upon hearing this, Hizashi Hyuga said with an embarrassed expression, "I understand, Fifth Hokage. As for the matter of burning books, our Hyuga Clan can also take responsibility."

Looking at Hizashi Hyuga, who volunteered to take the blame, Qingcheng thought to himself, "These things would be best left to Shouhon Yihan. She could even make a quick buck from these missions. But Hizashi Hyuga volunteered because he wants to get revenge on Hiruzen Sarutobi."

Qingcheng then said with a serious expression, "Chief Hizashi, you can also send your clansmen to assist the Police Force in completing such a mission."

Upon hearing Hizashi Hyuga immediately nodded and said respectfully, "Yes Fifth Hokage."

Shouhon Yihan looked at Hizashi Hyuga, who had suddenly appeared, her face filled with resentment. She thought to herself, "Is this 'cataract' trying to steal my position? I am the Fifth Hokage's loyal dog, Hachiko! How dare you try to compete with me? I need to be wary of all you 'cataracts'!"

Shouhon Yihan then said respectfully, "Fifth Hokage, your Hokage Rock should be entrusted to our Police Force for construction. My ancestors for Yashiro have all been tombstone carvers. I will definitely carve your Hokage Rock to be lifelike, so that every villager of Konoha can clearly and intuitively see your great and domineering majesty."

All the Konoha Jonin looked shocked, thinking to themselves, "The Konoha Madman truly lives up to his reputation as Konoha's number one sycophant. He'll suck up to anyone, even the position of Konoha Police Force Director was obtained through flattery. But I also want it."

Qingcheng waved his hand again, gesturing for everyone to sit down, as he had something to say.

Qingcheng then said with a serious expression, "I'm leaving these matters to you. Be quick about it; I want to see results by next week."

Shouhon Yihan said excitedly, "Understood, Hokage -sama! I will do my utmost to make your Hokage Rock the most beautiful sight in Konoha!"

All the Konoha Jonin looked at Shouhon Yihan with astonishment, secretly thinking, "As expected of the Konoha Madman, he flatters her in every situation; it's terrifying."

Qingcheng returned to the main topic and continued, "We also need to write White Fang Assistant Hokage's words into those students' textbooks: 'Those who don't respect their comrades' lives are not even trash.'"

Just then, a Jonin teacher stood up and said awkwardly, "Hokage, our Ninja Academy's principal, the Evil Hiruzen Sarutobi, has committed suicide out of guilt. Shouldn't we elect a new principal?"

Qingcheng thought for a moment, then said with a serious expression, "You take charge of this matter first, and I'll arrange a new principal for you in a few days!"

Qingcheng then said, "Let's convert that intern teacher, Iruka, into a full-time teacher and make him a homeroom teacher first!"

The school principal, Qingcheng, already had a plan: Meiling's father, Ashi-moto Kankan, a member of the Senju Clan, wielded four types of Chakra and possessed the strength of an Elite Jonin.

The Jonin teacher, with a serious expression, said, "Understood, Hokage -sama."

Qingcheng continued, "Starting today, I will prepare a Ninjutsu Learning Room inside the Hokage Building. All mission ninjas, as well as ninjas from various departments, can go there to learn one Ninjutsu each month. However, these will all be B-rank Ninjutsu. For any higher-level Ninjutsu, you will need to report to the Anbu Chief."

Qingcheng then spoke up, "These matters are entrusted to you, Commander Kakashi. If any of the Jonin don't understand something, they can ask Commander Kakashi for guidance. He is a high-level Elite Jonin is proficient in the five elements and Chakra form transformations. Guiding you will not be a problem for him."

All the civilian ninjas said respectfully, "Thank you, Fifth Hokage! Thank you Fifth Hokage!"
