Personnel Deployment

Hyuga Hiashi hearing the Fifth Hokage's words, Hiashi Hyuga's face lit up with joy. His eyes fixed on Qingcheng, he spoke directly, "Fifth Hokage, during the Third Shinobi World, a member of our Hyuga Clan's Main Family died in battle, and the Hidden Mist Village stole one of his Byakugan. I wish to request Hokage Majesty's intervention to reclaim this Byakugan; it is the eye of my Hyuga Clan member, and we cannot allow it to remain unclaimed."

Looking at Hyuga Hiashi's pleading expression, Qingcheng knew that they valued the Byakugan very much. This Byakugan belonged to a member of the Main Family and was being used by Ao, a Jonin from Hidden Mist Village.

Qingcheng immediately nodded and said seriously, "I understand your request. If I encounter this Aokiji, I will defeat him severely and retrieve the Byakugan. Giving such an eye to Hidden Mist Village is simply weakening the power of Konoha."

Qingcheng then turned to Hyuga Hiashi and said with a serious expression, "The only people with long-range reconnaissance capabilities can be from the Hyuga Clan. The Hyuga Clan must be ninjas from our Konoha."

Qingcheng changed his expression again, slammed his hand on the table in a very serious manner, and shouted, "Whoever tries to steal our Konoha's Ninjutsu and Kekkei Genkai is going against Konoha Konoha. The consequences for them will be the thunderous wrath of Konoha, and they will be subjected to the punishment of swords and axes. The weak Hiruzen Sarutobi is a thing of the past. The current Konoha is a village that fears neither heaven nor earth, and no one can come to it."

As the head of the Uchiha Clan and the Hokage of Konoha, Qingcheng naturally wouldn't allow Konoha's Kekkei Genkai to remain in other ninja villages. Whether it's the Byakugan or the Sharingan, Qingcheng intends to reclaim them; that would be a reasonable explanation to his clan and village.

Upon hearing the Fifth Hokage's words, Hyuga Hiashi Hyuga's face lit up with joy, and he said respectfully, "Thank you, Fifth Hokage. Our Hyuga Clan can dedicate its entire strength to this war."

Tsume Inuzuka was also shocked. Seeing Qingcheng's domineering demeanor just now was like seeing Uchiha Madara in his prime. He thought to himself, "Konoha needs a strong leader like him to restore its former status, but Qingcheng also seems to have more humanity than Madara."

Tsume Inuzuka also looked delighted, thinking to himself, "He's probably a combination of the First Hokage and Madara, and has the mind of the Second Hokage. Someone like that can definitely restore Konoha to its former glory."

Immediately, Tsume Inuzuka also said with a serious expression, "I also support the Fifth Hokage's proposal. I have decided to dedicate the entire clan's strength to this great war and teach Hidden Mist Village a painful lesson."

Seeing that the other clan heads had all spoken and expressed their opinions, Aburame Shibi immediately spoke up, saying, "Our Aburame Clan also supports the Fifth Hokage's proposal to dedicate the entire clan's strength to this battle."

Several heads of medium-sized clans also spoke up, shouting, "We support the Fifth Hokage! We will dedicate the entire strength of our clans to this battle against the Hidden Mist Village!"

As Qingcheng watched the Kurama Clan shouting for war, he thought to himself, "Your entire clan only has seven or eight members left, and all of them are Chunin. If you go to war, it might end up like in the original story, with only Kurama Yakumo left, and the whole clan wiped out."

Qingcheng nodded directly and said with a serious face, "Kurama Clan, your clan only has seven or eight members left. You should withdraw from this battle to preserve your clan's flame. Konoha still needs righteous clans like yours. So you can withdraw from the battle, stay in Konoha, and wait for the next Ninja World War. If it really comes to that, even if you want to withdraw, I will make you go."

Upon hearing the Fifth Hokage's words, Kurama Tetsuyun hesitated for a moment, then nodded, knowing that the Fifth Hokage cared for him. He said gratefully, "Fifth Hokage- sama, thank you for your care. If that time truly comes, our Kurama Clan will shed our last drop of blood for the village."

Upon hearing Kurama Tetsuyun's words, Kakashi's expression changed, and he said, "Clan Chief Tetsuyun, your Kurama Clan has shed enough blood for Konoha."

The Kurama Clan is a rather pragmatic clan. They were initially quite prosperous, considered a first-rate clan in Konoha. However, after the Three Ninja World War, they weren't even considered a third-rate clan anymore. Furthermore, they maintained a relatively good relationship with the Uchiha Clan. Both are pragmatic clans.

Qingcheng also didn't want to see this honest Kurama Clan wiped out, so he left them in Konoha.

Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu were also utterly astonished. It was the first time they'd seen a ninja clan so united. During the previous Ninja World War, most clans had only gone through the motions, unwilling to become scapegoats for the Sarutobi Clan. Now, they were all preparing to commit their entire clan's strength to support Uchiha Qingcheng in their war against Hidden Mist Village. So these two old men were also marveling at this.

Seeing everyone accepting the challenge, Shouhon Yihan immediately shouted, "Our Police Force members can also be mobilized in full! We can even storm the Land of Water, crush the daimyo of the Land of Water under our feet, and take all the women of the Land of Water to Konoha, so that the villagers of Konoha can live a prosperous life!"

Upon hearing their minister's address, all the officers of the Police Force shouted in unison, "Invade the Land of Water! Invade the Land of Land of Water! Raid the Hidden Mist Village! Raid the Hidden Mist Village!"

A group of Anbu Ninja, seeing the intense atmosphere, all shouted, "Accept the challenge! Attack Hidden Mist Village!"

A group of Konoha also stood up and shouted, "Start the war! Start the war with Hidden Mist Village!"

Seeing everyone so united, Qingcheng nodded with great satisfaction, thinking to himself, "As expected of someone who has accepted the new Will of Fire, burning others to illuminate Konoha, turning the protection of Konoha into the annihilation of all enemies of Konoha."

Qingcheng then said to Kakashi, "Prepare the list. We should act quickly and send troops to the border of the Land of Fire this afternoon. We can't let these lazy bums into the Land of Land of Fire's territory. We should try to defeat them at sea."

The current Konoha Ninja really like to give nicknames to other villages. They call the Hidden Stone Village ninjas "Shorty Bandits," the Hidden Cloud Village ninjas "Mountain Barbarians," and the Hidden Mist Village ninjas "salted fish eaters. "The Hidden Sand Village generally doesn't participate in battles and doesn't dare fight against Konoha, so it doesn't have a nickname yet. This can be interpreted as the Konoha ninjas not really disliking the Hidden Sand Village.

Shouhon Yihan then said with a serious expression, "Hokage, I want to participate in the battle in Hidden Mist Village this time. I don't want to go to Hidden Grass Village to do some underhanded stuff. Could you please change my team?"

Shouhon Yihan stared at Qingcheng again, afraid that Qingcheng would refuse, and said with a fawning expression, "Or let Aburame Torune and go to Hidden Grass Village to do some side business. Their large force can already crush those fence-sitters. I want to participate in the battle against Hidden Mist Village."

Qingcheng nodded directly and said with a serious face, "Alright, let Aburame Torune to Hidden Grass Village to do some shady business. You take the members of the First Squad's Police Force and come with me to participate in the Battle of Hidden Mist Village."
