Flourishing Konoha

Yamanaka Fu gritted his teeth, his face resolute, and said again, "Thank you, Fifth Hokage. I will definitely repay you."

Then, changing the subject abruptly, Yamanaka Fu said awkwardly, "And what about my cousin, Yamanaka Jieyi, the Fifth Hokage? Do you still want her?"

Qingcheng pointed to Tsunade opposite him and said awkwardly, "I can't take her yet. You can make her wait. When I drive Tsunade out of Konoha, I can take her, and I can even take two more."

Upon hearing Qingcheng's words, Yamanaka Fu nodded immediately and said excitedly, "I'll go back and tell my cousin that the Fifth Hokage is being suppressed by Lady Tsunade and can't get married for the time being."

After saying that, Yamanaka Fu immediately received the Uchiha Enhancement Vaccine. Seeing that saplings were almost sprouting from Yamanaka Fu's arm, Qingcheng immediately activated the Mystical Palm Technique to help Yamanaka Fu fuse with Hashirama Cells.

After resolving Yamanaka Fu's frustrations, Shouhon Yihan went to the Uchiha Clan the very next day, weeping uncontrollably as if her father had died.

He even clung to Qingcheng's leg and cried, wanting an Uchiha Enhancement Vaccine to improve his strength so he could better serve the Uchiha Clan in the future.

Qingcheng, seeing a man cry for the first time, looked at him with disgust. He then gave Shouhon Yihan another vaccine and used the Mystical Palm Technique to help her fuse with the Shouhon Yihan Hashirama Cells within her body.

After Shouhon Yihan, all the members of the Police Force knew that the Fifth Hokage possessed an Uchiha Enhancement Vaccine that could help others increase their Chakra and also grant them water and earth Chakra.

At the gates of all the Uchiha Clan, members of the Police Force frequently visit, all wanting to get an Enhancement Vaccine.

As soon as the Fifth Hokage stepped out, a large number of Police Force surrounded him. Qingcheng initially thought they were there to maintain order, but then joined the crowd in cheering.

Several members of the Police Force cried out, "Fifth Hokage, my aptitude is too poor. Could you please give me an Enhancement Vaccine? I want to serve Konoha and the Fifth Hokage with my life. Please, give me a chance! Waaah!"

Amidst the cries of the Police Force, the Konoha also cried out, "Fifth Hokage, I also want to receive the Uchiha Clan Enhancement Vaccine! I'm only forty-eight years old this year. As soon as I cultivate Chakra, I'll join the ninja ranks immediately. I also want to serve the Fifth Hokage!"

Qingcheng looked at the crowded people, all crying and clamoring for the Uchiha Enhancement Vaccine, some even threatening to burn themselves to light up Konoha. Someone shouted, "I will shed my last drop of blood for the village!"

Most of these villagers were either unable to cultivate Chakra, or were frustrated commoner ninjas, while others were members of the Police Force —essentially the old guard of Qingcheng —all hoping to defy fate and become Elite Jonin of Konoha.

Seeing the increasingly crowded throng, with some people even deformed from the pressure, Qingcheng, with a serious expression, shouted, "Stop! Stop pushing! People are going to die if you keep pushing like this!"

All the ninjas, including civilians, heard the Fifth Hokage speak. His voice was soft, but it reached everyone's ears like a thunderclap. All the Konoha were completely stunned, stopping in their tracks and staring at the Fifth Hokage.

Qingcheng looked at the crowded people, who stopped pushing and stood there blankly. Qingcheng then called out, "I understand that everyone wants the Uchiha Enhancement Vaccine, but this vaccine is too powerful. Only one dose can be made per month. I will give it to those villagers or cadres who have performed well. Everyone, go back to work! This year's outstanding villagers and outstanding cadres will be rewarded with one dose of the Uchiha Enhancement Vaccine."

All the Konoha, including the civilian ninjas and members of the Police Force, became obedient upon hearing Qingcheng's words and shouted, "Fifth Hokage, what does it mean to be an outstanding cadre? What does it mean to be an outstanding villager?"

Seeing the villagers' puzzled expressions, Qingcheng explained directly, "An outstanding villager is one who promotes the new Will of Fire in Konoha, supports the village's decisions, such as supporting the Hokage, working as a laborer for Konoha, or helping with village construction."

Qingcheng also saw an honest-looking person in the crowd, who was Sakura's mother. She had just been shouting for the Uchiha Enhancement Vaccine, wanting to become an excellent Konoha Jonin and serve Konoha in the future.

Last time, she even took Sakura to the Uchiha Clan's place to wash dishes and do odd jobs in the kitchen. Yamahuku even gave her 500,000 Ryo. Now she often hangs around the Uchiha Clan and frequently asks Yamahuku if the Uchiha Clan needs any more workers, wanting to earn some extra money."

Yamahuku politely declined, saying seriously, "Mrs. Haruno Sho, our Uchiha Clan doesn't need servants for the time being. But if we do need servants in the future, I'll definitely reserve a place for you."

Upon hearing the Fifth Hokage's words, the villagers were all excited and shouted, "We want to become outstanding villagers of Konoha! We want to support the village's policies! We all support the Hokage!"

The Konoha civilian ninjas were all excited, shouting, "We want to become excellent Konoha Ninja! We will definitely support the Hokage!"

After Qingcheng dispersed the villagers and ninjas, several Anbu Ninja remained, raising their right hands and shouting, "We will become excellent Anbu Ninja!"

Qingcheng looked at the group of Anbu Ninja and shouted, "Why are you still standing here? Don't you have to work? Don't you want to become outstanding Anbu Ninja?"

Upon hearing Qingcheng's words, the Anbu Ninja finally realized what was happening and said awkwardly, "Reporting to the Fifth Hokage, we've come to inform you that, according to reports from Konoha spies, the entire Hidden Mist Village has been mobilized and is heading towards the border of our Land of Fire."

Qingcheng looked at the Anbu Ninja with a suspicious and speechless expression, then said seriously, "You came to inform me, why are you still partying in the crowd?"

Upon hearing the Fifth Hokage's words, the Anbu Ninja realized what was happening and quickly lowered their raised right hands, saying awkwardly, "We're sorry, Fifth Hokage- sama. We were just too excited when we heard about the outstanding officer, and that's why we raised our right hands."

Qingcheng looked at them, all of them beaming with excitement, eager to become outstanding cadres and then receive the Uchiha Enhancement Vaccine.

Qingcheng nodded directly and said with a smile, "Do a good job. The village will consider you for this year's outstanding cadre award."

Upon hearing the Fifth Hokage's words, the group of Anbu Ninja raised their right hands and shouted at the top of their lungs, "Long live the Fifth Hokage! Long live Konoha!"

Upon hearing this, Qingcheng's face darkened, and he said, "Stop shouting! If you keep your voices up, those villagers will gather around again. I finally managed to chase them away."

This is the herd mentality. As soon as a few people step forward and shout "Long live the Fifth Hokage!", a large crowd will rush over and surround them, shouting for ages.

The villagers who had just dispersed, hearing the shouts of the Anbu Ninja, prepared to surround them again and shout it out once more.

Seeing the villagers disperse and preparing to return the way they came, Qingcheng awkwardly waved his hand and called out, "Everyone, can you disperse now? The village will definitely see your Will of Fire, there's no need to crowd around anymore."

Upon seeing this, the Anbu Ninja all said awkwardly, "We're sorry, Fifth Hokage, we've caused you trouble."

Looking at the self-reproaching Anbu Ninja, Qingcheng smiled and said, "These are the villagers' genuine feelings. They have high hopes for the Hokage, and we can't dampen their enthusiasm. But now there's an urgent matter, which is a bit troublesome."
