The Third Hokage's face immediately showed surprise when he heard Qingcheng, then he said with a serious expression, "Qingcheng-kun, you want to become the head of Konoha's Police Force? I'm afraid that's not possible."

The Third Hokage then began to explain, "Qingcheng-kun, the current Police Force is made up of shinobi from many different clans, and there are also many civilian shinobi among them. It's no longer exclusively the Uchiha Clan."

Hearing the Third Hokage's excuses, Qingcheng immediately shouted, "That was an order left by the Second Hokage! We Uchiha have autonomy over Konoha's Police Force! Are you trying to discriminate against us Uchiha?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a sudden tightness in his chest and an unprecedented pressure when he saw Qingcheng's anger.

The Third Hokage then said with a very awkward expression, "Qingcheng-kun, it's not that we disagree. I'm just afraid you won't be able to command the members of the Police Force, which might affect the village's public order."

Qingcheng heard the Third Hokage's words and immediately reprimanded him, "Third Hokage, you're overstepping! Our Uchiha Clan is the highest authority of the Police Force!"

Qingcheng continued to reprimand, "If I can't command them, I'll summon Uchiha Yongcheng and have the God of Asura take them all away!"

Qingcheng then shouted with a serious expression, "This is an order from the Second Hokage! Is your Will of Fire just for show?"

The Third Hokage and the other Konoha high-ranking officials were all dumbfounded by Qingcheng's words.

Mitokado Homura said with a shocked expression, "What is he saying? The Third Hokage overstepped? Isn't that Hiruzen's catchphrase?"

Utatane Koharu was also shocked, thinking to herself, He seems to be scolding Hiruzen for overstepping. How is this possible? Who is the Hokage, really?

Hiruzen Sarutobi was also shocked, thinking to himself, Those seem like my words. How can this be? The Uchiha actually learned it! It feels like I've swallowed a fly.

Konoha's Police Force was actually a scapegoat department. It was Tobirama, the Second Hokage, who deliberately assigned the Uchiha to the Police Force to restrict them, and then granted them autonomy to appease them.

A Police Force with autonomy was a powerful department. The literal meaning of this autonomy was that the Uchiha could arrange everything concerning the Police Force.

However, under the combined suppression of the Third Hokage and the 5.5th Scapegoat Hokage, the Police Force was eventually taken advantage of by the Uchiha.

And Qingcheng was preparing to reclaim the Police Force, to reclaim everything that belonged to the Uchiha.

The Third Hokage immediately broke out in a sweat. Seeing Qingcheng pull out a Three-pronged Kunai again, ready to summon Uchiha Yongcheng, he instantly compromised and said with a serious expression, "Qingcheng, I agree. You can handle the Police Force matters as you see fit."

Qingcheng smiled immediately upon hearing the Third Hokage's compromise and said, "Lord Third Hokage, you truly are wise and mighty! You certainly wouldn't go against the orders of Lord Second Hokage!"

The Third Hokage saw Qingcheng's sudden change in expression and felt intense regret, thinking, Danzo, I should have listened to you back then and just eliminated this brat. Missing you on day one.

Just then, Mitokado Homura immediately spoke up, "Konoha still needs the hidden Root. Danzo has been deposed. I propose that I temporarily take over as Root's leader. I will truly protect Konoha."

Then Homura looked at Qingcheng and said with a serious expression, "Qingcheng-kun, what do you think? Although I am over sixty years old, for the sake of Konoha, I can still work for another twenty years."

Qingcheng saw Homura's serious expression and thought to himself, He's so eager to backstab Danzo; he must be desperate to gain real power. Even though he's a Scapegoat Hokage, his power is astonishing, and he has his own private military force.

To be fair, while Root was a scapegoat department, its strength was still formidable, second only to Konoha's Anbu. All the wealth Danzo had accumulated over the years now belonged to Mitokado Homura.

Hiruzen looked at Homura, who was preparing to take over, and said angrily, "All Root shinobi have the Tongue Curse Seal. Can you manage those people?"

Mitokado Homura said seriously, "If I don't go to Root, who will? Konoha still needs the Root beneath the leaves. Qingcheng-kun, what do you think?"

Qingcheng heard Homura's words and nodded directly, saying with a serious expression, "I think this is an excellent proposal. Advisor Homura is a fair and just person and will surely lead the Root shinobi towards justice."

Qingcheng thought to himself, Homura has been hammering Danzo just now, so I'll give him a hand. Root shinobi aren't that easy to manage; you might even get bitten by Root yourself.

Mitokado Homura then spoke to the shinobi at the door, "Take what I've recorded and post it all over Konoha for the villagers to see that Danzo is a demon!"

The shinobi at the door heard Mitokado Homura's words and immediately said, "Understood, Advisor Homura."

These shinobi then took their notebooks and headed to the printing room.

Meanwhile, Kakashi, with Danzo looking like a dead dog, went directly to Konoha Prison and said to the guard shinobi, "This is Danzo. His case is very difficult. All of you must keep a close eye on him and absolutely do not let him escape."

Danzo still looked utterly dejected as he watched Kakashi throw him into the cell, then he began to recall the past.

Danzo thought to himself, If only I had bravely raised my hand back then to be the one to stay behind, the one sitting in the Hokage's seat now would be me, leading Konoha to become the strongest in the Ninja World.

Kakashi looked at Danzo, who was still lost in thought, and said with a serious expression, "You were the one who forced Konoha's White Fang to his death, weren't you?"

Danzo just glanced at Kakashi and then said softly, "The Konoha White Fang incident was indeed my doing. His existence had threatened Konoha."

Kakashi heard this and said just as seriously, "Shimura Danzo, when you say he threatened Konoha, doesn't that just mean he threatened the position of Hokage? You just stay put right here."

Kakashi then led a large group of Anbu shinobi towards the Hokage's office, preparing to report back to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Meanwhile, Konoha's public announcement department had already started posting notices throughout the village. Everyone was saying with a serious expression, "By order of Lord Third Hokage, Shimura Danzo has been apprehended. Above are Danzo's crimes."

Qingcheng's Shadow Clone held Hashirama Senju's cells and Uchiha Shisui's Sharingan, feeling extremely happy, even laughing out loud.

Qingcheng thought to himself, Although Danzo's arm, modified by Orochimaru, is a weakened version of Hashirama Cells, its uses are more varied, and when transplanted into a human body, it's safer and more stable.

Hashirama Cells are highly aggressive. Back then, many shinobi died during Konoha's cell experimentation program. Those volunteer shinobi, after having Hashirama Cells transplanted, directly transformed into trees, and some had trees growing out of their bodies, piercing through the experimental shinobi.

Finally, Hiruzen Sarutobi personally ordered the experiment to be terminated, but his student Orochimaru and Danzo were both obsessed with the power of Wood Release and secretly continued their experiments. The only one who survived was Yamato, also known as Yamato.

Qingcheng also knew that the Sharingan had a suppressive effect on Hashirama Cells, but at the same time, Hashirama Cells would repair the Mangekyo Sharingan. The two complemented each other; once transplanted, the Mangekyo Sharingan would not go blind.

Qingcheng, with a smiling expression, said to the Third Hokage, "Lord Third Hokage, I'll be heading back now. In a few days, I'll go and take over the Uchiha Police Force."

The Third Hokage looked at the smiling Qingcheng, thinking, What exactly is this evil Uchiha up to? But then he remembered the terrifying, mysterious Uchiha Yongcheng, and he couldn't make up his mind, so he started to compromise again.

Immediately, the Third Hokage put on a smiling face and said kindly, "Qingcheng-kun, take care. If you encounter any trouble in the Police Force, you can communicate with the village in a timely manner."

Qingcheng heard this and said with a serious expression, "No need for such trouble. I'll just summon Yongcheng. My good-for-nothing father would certainly be happy to."
