Police Force Movements

Shouhon Yihan, still pursuing the fleeing Cloud Shinobi, looked at most of the Cloud Shadows! They had all been beaten to the ground, kneeling and trembling.

Looking at the surrendered Cloud Shinobi, Shouhon Yihan said with a serious expression, "Hand over all your money, your ninja tools, and the Ninjutsu you've learned, and I'll spare your lives."

Then Kameida Meikai chimed in, "Don't even think about running away. Get to Cloud Gorge first, then Hidden Cloud Village. Don't let me catch you! We've already killed over seven hundred stubborn fools along the way."

The Cloud Shinobi kneeling and begging for mercy looked terrified upon hearing Shouhon Yihan's words. They all knew that the members of Konoha's Police Force were ruthless killers. Killing over seven hundred was an understatement; anyone who didn't pay up or surrender had become a victim of the Police Force's blade.

Immediately, a large number of Cloud Shinobi began to pull out money and Ninjutsu Scroll, dumping them all on the ground.

Shouhon Yihan slapped Kameida Meikai on the head again, then said seriously, "Go pick them up? Are you stupid? Do you expect me to pick them up myself? These Ninjutsu Scroll, including these ninja tools, are spoils of war from our Konoha."

After being slapped, Kameida Meikai immediately reacted and led a group of Police Force personnel to collect Ninjutsu Scroll and a large amount of Ryo from the ground.

Hayakumo Sōma and a group of Konoha Ninja watched as the Police Force began looting again, and watched as their own team had already crossed into the Land of Land of Lightning.

Bai Yun spoke to Shouhon Yihan that Hayakumo Sōma, saying, "Minister Zhang! Our two families are going to separate. One route leads to Hidden Cloud Village, and the other leads to Kyoto, the Land of Lightning. Which route does your Police Force want to choose?"

Hearing Hayakumo Sōma, and seeing his serious expression, Shouhon Yihan thought to herself, "What a dilemma! Going to the Kyoto of the Land of Lightning to make a living through shady dealings—the profits there are higher, and there are more wealthy families, but the rewards are less."

Shouhon Yihan said with a conflicted expression, "Hidden Cloud Village doesn't have many troops left, and the Raikage Building still has many female ninjas and the Scroll of Seals. If we could get our hands on it, the achievement would be enormous."

Immediately, Zhang Benyihan made a snap decision and shouted, "Morning Captain! Our Police Force is going to Hidden Cloud Village to investigate shady dealings, and you're going to Land of Lightning to investigate shady dealings. We'll meet here tomorrow afternoon, and it can't be too long."

Upon hearing Shouhon Yihan's words Hayakumo Sōma smiled and said, "Then I wish Minister Shouhon Yihan a successful operation, that he establishes merit soon, and that he can showcase the style and spirit of our Konoha, making these Mountain Barbarians tremble with fear at the mere mention of our Konoha Ninja."

Upon hearing Hayakumo Sōma's congratulations, Shouhon Yihan smiled and said, "Captain Zaojian, I wish you every success in conquering the Land of Lightning! From now on, you'll belong to Konoha! To the wealthy and powerful, I wish you great success and boundless wealth!"

Upon hearing Shouhon Yihan's words Hayakumo Sōma smiled and said, "Thank you, Minister Zhang. I knew you were a remarkable person when we went to the border near Hidden Mist Village last time. Your Police Force's methods of illicit activities have truly impressed me!"

Upon hearing Hayakumo Sōma's words, Shouhon Yihan chuckled and said directly, "Same here, same here. Captain Zao is also an interesting person. I'm willing to teach you, my good friend. We're all working for the Hokage, so we're all from the same family. Next time we're all free, let's sit down together and discuss the Fat Water Plan.' We're all in the same boat, so I won't stand on ceremony."

Upon hearing this Hayakumo Sōma smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Zhang. I'll definitely share some of the profits I've made with you through shady means."

Upon hearing this, Shouhon Yihan excitedly added, "Little brother Zaojian! Just tell me what kind of Ninjutsu you want to learn. I may not have much skill myself, but I'm quite knowledgeable about shady dealings. We must keep in touch after we part ways this time!"

The two then cupped their hands in a respectful greeting, exchanged a smile, and exclaimed, "We'll meet again someday in Konoha!"

Shouhon Yihan shouted to the Police Force behind her, "All Police Force personnel! Charge! Attack Hidden Cloud Village fiercely and storm Raikage Building!"

Hayakumo Sōma, and directly addressed his troops. "Everyone, change into Cloud Shinobi uniforms. It's despicable for ninjas to rob ordinary people, violating the Three Ninja Prohibitions. But if we impersonate Cloud Ninja, then the Hidden Cloud Village is despicable."

Upon hearing what Hayakumo Sōma, Teyano Hisashi excitedly replied, "Captain, after we change into the Cloud Shinobi uniforms, can we just start robbing? Last time I saw the Police Force members robbing the Kirigakure Ninja of their money, stuffing all that glittering stuff straight into their pockets—it was so exciting!"

Hayakumo Sōma observed that all the team members had changed into Cloud Shinobi uniforms and were wearing Cloud Shinobi Forehead Protector, but their demeanor was not quite like that of the Mountain Barbarians.

Then, Hayakumo Sōma asked again with a puzzled look, "What's going on? Why is it that even though we're wearing the same clothes, our aura is still inferior to that of the Hidden Cloud Village ninjas? Is it a problem with the aura of our Konoha Ninja, or is it a problem with our appearance?"

Upon hearing Hayakumo Sōma's words, Teyano Hisashi turned to look at the Konoha Ninja behind him, then noticed something and said with a serious expression, "Captain Hayato, all of us Konoha Ninja are either white or yellow-skinned; there isn't a single black-skinned one. In Hidden Cloud Village, the majority of the Cloud Shinobi black-skinned, more than white-skinned or yellow-skinned ones!"

Upon hearing this Hayakumo Sōma said with an embarrassed expression, "As expected, the Tenth Generation of Black Dye is so dark that even Ninjutsu can't bleach him."

Immediately, a Konoha Ninja knew the Ink Release Ninjutsu shouted, "Captain Hayashi, I know the Ink Release Ninjutsu. I can dye the rest of our team members black, making them look like they have dark skin."

Upon Hayakumo Sōma nodded and said with a serious expression, "Good lad, you've actually learned Ink Release! That's wonderful! Let's dye them black!"

Hayakumo Sōma, "What's your name? I don't seem to remember you. Did you just join my team?"

The Ink Release ninja nodded respectfully and said, "Reporting to Captain Hayashi, my name is Kogane Sōsuke, and I just joined your team."
