The Propaganda Department's Exaggerated Members

Qingcheng took out 1.5 million Ryo and gave 100,000 Ryo to each of the children who participated in beating the fake Danzo. He then said, "This money is for you, but you must take it home and tell your parents that this is Hokage Hokage's support for you. He hopes that your lives will get better and better in the future."

Each of these children had one or two large bumps on their heads, all from kowtowing. A few children, showing off their recently lost front teeth, smiled and said, "Thank you, Hokage- sama! We will definitely tell our parents!"

Qingcheng took out another 500,000 Ryo and gave them directly to Nobi Fat Tiger, then said with a serious face, "Your parents have both sacrificed their lives, so your family must have some compensation money. Take this money home and give it to your grandfather so he can live a better life from now on. Considering how much you look like Danzo, it's really not easy for you."

Fat Tiger took the Ryo handed to him by Qingcheng, looked at the denominations—all ten thousand yen notes, all brand new—and then said with a face full of gratitude, "Thank you, Hokage -sama! I will definitely study hard from now on, and after I graduate from the Ninja Academy, I will act in plays in Konoha."

Looking at the excited little Fat Tiger, Qingcheng then said, "You could also consider making movies. After you go back, study Danzo's evil, and then you can specialize in playing villains."

Upon hearing this, Fat Tiger began to question his existence, then said in a panic, "Hokage -sama, although I look like that beast Shimura Danzō, I also have a dream of becoming a hero. Could I play a righteous Uchiha Clan at least once?"

Qingcheng looked at the expectant Fat Tiger and shook his head, saying seriously, "You are a natural Danzo's Holy Body. How can you play the Uchiha Clan? Letting you play the righteous Uchiha Clan would ruin the reputation of our Uchiha Clan."

Qingcheng rubbed Fat Tiger's little head again, then said with a smile, "It's not easy to play a villain well. Don't try to beautify these villainous characters. You need to think more about their disgusting and ugly aspects, and then study them deeply. You have to portray their ugly faces completely!"

Fat Tiger nodded immediately, his face serious, and said, "Hokage, I understand. I will definitely play Danzo well. I will expose this beast's evil face to everyone."

At this moment, the idea of playing a villain had already been planted in Fat Tiger's mind. He was thinking about how to imitate Shimura Danzō and portray his sinful life vividly.

Qingcheng gave Xiaoshui another 500,000 Ryo, and then said, "Your portrayal of Hiruzen Sarutobi was also excellent. You must continue to work hard and fully express Hiruzen Sarutobi's evil nature."

This little boy named Shuiping, whose full name is Tieli Shuiping, is a villager who moved to Konoha last year. He's only seven and a half years old and lives with only his grandmother. Due to political vetting, he can't go to school yet. His appearance is similar to Hiruzen Sarutobi, because they both look like monkeys. More importantly, Tieli Shuiping has a perfect grasp of the same temperament.

Qingcheng waved to the children again, then left and headed straight for the streets of Konoha.

As the children watched Qingcheng leave, they all said with reluctance, "Lord Hokage is so kind, he even gave us so much money. I will study the Will of Fire so that I can repay Lord Hokage in the future."

As Qingcheng walked down the street, she put on a black mask and continued towards the bustling street.

Qingcheng had originally planned to travel incognito and didn't want to be surrounded by those enthusiastic villagers. If they recognized him, they would call their friends and acquaintances and surround him like a celebrity, forcing him to spend the entire day on the streets.

Because of the Konoha Propaganda Department, Tenten constantly boosts the reputation of the Fifth Hokage, even the smallest things Qingcheng does are blown out of proportion by the Propaganda Department.

For example, in Qingcheng, they occasionally give 100,000 Ryo to some poor villagers! And these Propaganda Department team members will take these photos and carry out endless, frantic propaganda, even going so far as to edit and promote them.

What was originally a meager 100,000 Ryo, after a few edits, instantly became a huge sum of money, amounting to tens of millions, or even a hundred million. Then, with an eye-catching headline, "The Fifth Hokage, with a heart full of compassion, takes out the Uchiha Clan's money to help a certain villager,"

These members of the Propaganda Department would also spread these incredibly exaggerated news stories to every Konoha by distributing leaflets, newspapers, and issuing Konoha announcements.

The funniest thing is that Fujikawa also arranges for members of the Propaganda Department to search everywhere for dirt on Hiruzen Sarutobi or Shimura Danzō. If they can't find any dirt on them, they take matters into their own hands, leading Propaganda Department ninjas directly to the abandoned Root Base to gather material, and then continue to denounce Hiruzen Sarutobi and Shimura Danzō. This has been going on for a year now.

The most outrageous news story Qingcheng had ever seen was about Shimura Danzō wanting to see if humans and pigs could reproduce, so at the Root Base, he directly ordered Root ninjas to gang up on an old sow and beat it to death.

Then, the news photo frame directly showed a picture of an old sow, with the background image still showing the Root Base.

The villagers of Konoha, seeing Danzo's inhuman cruelty, cursed angrily, "That beast Danzo! We never imagined he could be so perverted, not even sparing an old sow! And Hiruzen Sarutobi, you won't escape either; it must have been you who ordered this!"

Immediately, large numbers of Konoha began another street parade, speaking out for the tragically killed old sow and emphasizing that Hiruzen Sarutobi must have done it too.

All the Qingcheng who see the news from the Propaganda Department are sometimes speechless, especially some outrageous and explosive news that can cause a huge uproar in Konoha.

However, these newspapers were bought up by the Konoha. Initially, the Propaganda Department distributed the newspapers for free. Once all Konoha villagers had developed the habit of reading newspapers, the Propaganda Department started charging money, selling each newspaper for fifty yen. But with such a large population in Konoha, they were making a fortune from selling the newspapers.

However, Fujikawa, the head of the Propaganda Department, would hand over all the money earned directly to the village, keeping only the cost of materials or overtime pay, and not taking a single penny of the rest.

Looking at the bustling streets, Qingcheng saw many new snack shops: Konoha BBQ, Konoha Fried Chicken, hamburger shops, and newly opened mala tang (spicy hot pot) shops. All of these shops were rented out by Uchiha Qingcheng.
