Accepting a Disciple

Qingcheng looked at Shouhon Yihan, who was fleeing in panic, and said with a smile, "This child is quite cute. If it were any other time, I would have been amused by them, but now it's the time for the ninja village war and the harvesting of Ninjutsu Scrolls. They're still talking nonsense. Aren't they asking for trouble? They need to be scolded to become smarter?"

Yamanaka Inoichi and the group of medical ninjas, looking at the serious-faced Hokage, were all taken aback. They thought to themselves, "Is this the Hokage's aura? It's so domineering. I can't even look him in the eye, even without his Mangekyō Sharingan."

Qingcheng looked at the astonished Yamanaka Inoichi, then smiled slightly and said in a very friendly manner, "Yamanaka, you have completed this mission exceptionally well. I, the Hokage, am very pleased. Would you be interested in further improvement?"

Looking at Qingcheng's calm demeanor, Yamanaka Inoichi was secretly amazed. He then said respectfully, "Thank you, Hokage- sama. I am eager to improve. I wonder what guidance Hokage can offer? I will do my utmost to complete the mission."

Yamanaka Inoichi thought to himself, "Could it be that the Hokage can't stand the current Police Forces and wants me to become the 'Pot Kage'? If it's for the Fifth Hokage Pot Kage, I wouldn't mind. Hmm, I'll become the 'Pot Kage'."

Looking at the determined Yamanaka Inoichi, Qingcheng said directly, "I don't have anything important to entrust to you. I just wanted to ask if you'd be interested in collaborating with the Uchiha One-Dragon Company. As you know, the Uchiha One-Dragon Company's business is booming right now, with several big orders every day. Doing this kind of business definitely requires white flowers. If you could offer a discount, I'll have Yunye source his flowers from your shop from now on! What do you think?"

Because of the war that broke out in Konoha, some Konoha Ninjas still died in battle. Yunye, along with members of the One-Stop Company, performed several religious rites every day to send these fallen Konoha Ninjas to heaven!

The Uchiha One-Dragon Company logistics model has been accepted by the Konoha. Everyone knows that when a ninja dies in battle, they are sent to the Konoha Cemetery with great fanfare, instead of just receiving a bouquet of flowers as before.

Even Hiruzen Sarutobi, burdened with thirty-one crimes, was escorted up the mountain with great fanfare, except that along the way, celebratory music was played, such as a welcoming song and announcements like "Today is a very auspicious day!"

The villagers of Konoha were eating wedding candy, dressed in red, and lining both sides of the street! They stretched out long banners, set off fireworks, and celebrated Hiruzen Sarutobi's downfall. Some villagers even went to the Konoha Cemetery to watch Hiruzen Sarutobi being buried in a stinking ditch.

Upon hearing Qingcheng's words, Yamanaka Inoichi nodded immediately and said with a smile, "Hokage, Manager Yunye can pick up flowers from our Yamanaka Clan's flower shop from now on, and I won't charge you a penny."

Looking at the sincere expression on Yamanaka Inoichi's face, Qingcheng nodded directly and said with great appreciation, "Yamanaka, your Hokage will is very solid. Giving things to the Hokage is the duty of every villager. I may not accept them, but you cannot refuse to give them! If you don't want to give them, then there is something wrong with your thinking."

Qingcheng looked at Yamanaka Inoichi, whose face was dark with disbelief, and then smiled and said, "I really like your Will of Fire. You can tell me any ideas you have, as long as they're within my power. But I can't guarantee I'll grant them. After all, I'm a Hokage, not some wishing well."

Upon hearing the Hokage,"Yamanaka Inoichi's face twitched. He then exclaimed in surprise, " The Hokage's way of speaking is so straightforward, which I greatly admire. I like this kind of Hokage, unlike Hiruzen Sarutobi! He just likes to make empty promises and give verbal checks to swindle money and harm people."

Looking at Qingcheng's smiling face, Yamanaka Inoichi knew he was right. He thought to himself, "The Fifth Hokage is the little black-faced captain of the Sarutobi Clan; he just loves hearing people Hiruzen Sarutobi."

Then Yamanaka Inoichi cursed a few more times, saying, "Hiruzen Sarutobi is trash. He takes money from Konoha and uses it to pay reparations to other ninja villages."

Looking at Yamanaka Inoichi, who clearly hated Hiruzen Sarutobi, Qingcheng couldn't help but think to himself, "He seems to hate Fujikawa Hiruzen Sarutobi even more than Fujikawa. If I had known, I would have made Yamanaka Inoichi the head of the Sarutobi Clan's anti-fan club."

Qingcheng waved his hand again, smiling, and said, "Yamanaka, I fully understand your hatred for Hiruzen Sarutobi. I wonder what your thoughts are? This Hokage can provide additional support."

Upon hearing Qingcheng's words, Yamanaka Inoichi's face filled with excitement. He thought to himself, "The Uchiha Clan's Enhancement Vaccine can change the physical attributes of our Yamanaka Clan, and it will also allow us to learn Water Release and Earth Release Ninjutsu. If I were to take Ino under the Hokage's tutelage, Ino would become a powerful ninja, and perhaps even a high-ranking member of Konoha."

The entire Yamanaka Clan uses Yin Release Chakra, so they can only train in Mind Body Switch Technique and basic Genjutsu; they cannot train Ninjutsu of other elemental attributes.

After receiving the Uchiha Enhancement Vaccine, Yamanaka Fu immediately performed a series of Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet, Water Release: Water Wall, and Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bomb within the Yamanaka Clan.

This stunned the entire Yamanaka Clan. They all started asking Yamanaka Fu how he did it. "We're all from the Yamanaka Clan, why can you use Water Release Ninjutsu and Earth Release Ninjutsu? Is your bloodline impure?"

Looking at his fanatical and worshipful clansmen, Yamanaka Fu arrogantly declared, "Who says we're from the same clan as you? In my eyes, only the Hokage and I are from the same clan. Only by worshipping the Hokage and becoming his right- Hokage man can one have the right to defy fate."

Therefore, the Yamanaka Clan idolizes Uchiha Qingcheng, and even eight-year-old Ino is a devoted fan of the Uchiha Clan Uchiha Clan, aspiring to join them.

Looking at the respectful Yamanaka Inoichi, Qingcheng nodded directly and said solemnly, "Alright, I'm willing to accept Ino. This girl is brave, and becoming my disciple, Uchiha Qingcheng, will not bring shame to her."

Upon hearing that Qingcheng had agreed, Yamanaka Inoichi was overjoyed and excitedly said, "Thank you, Lord Hokage! Thank you, Lord Hokage! Your subordinate pays his respects to the Lord Hokage!"

Looking at the excited and incoherent Yamanaka Inoichi, Qingcheng said again, "This is just a small matter, don't take it to heart. But there's one thing I must say: I'm very strict with my disciples. If you don't meet my requirements, I will punish you."

Yamanaka Inoichi immediately nodded, his face beaming with excitement, and said, "Everything is up to the Hokage -sama. Ino will be overjoyed to hear this news!"
