The Shinobi World's Richest
After accepting the gift from the Police Force, Qingcheng praised Shouhon Yihan, saying with admiration, "You and Hayakumo Sōma, but Little Demon, you are even more outstanding. Keep it up!"
Looking at Shouhon Yihan Benyihan's smug face in the Hayakumo Sōma thought to herself:
"The Daimyo's Storage Hall is so large, how could it only contain a little over 80 billion Silver Coin? It must have been stolen by Shouhon Yihan. That guy is truly evil, a despicable and shameless Police Force. At first, he told me that we would split up and take the spoils, that I would take the backyard of the Daimyo's Estate, and he would take the wealthy merchants and high-ranking officials of the Land of Fire. This hateful guy actually sent people to raid my territory. He is truly despicable."
Shouhon Yihan looked at Hayakumo Sōma and smiled, then said excitedly, "Brother Hayakumo Sōma, hahaha!"
Hayakumo Sōma looked at Qingcheng, who had a smile on his face, bowed slightly, and then said with a serious expression:
"Lord Hokage, although I only seized a little over 80 billion Silver Coin, I killed Sarutobi Asuma. This guy served as Guardian Ninja in the Land of Fire, along with Kazuma and others, responsible for protecting the Daimyo's safety. He fought against my Fat Water Squad while protecting the other Guardian Ninjas, and I killed him here with just one move."
"Hahaha, "Qingcheng laughed heartily, his face full of admiration, and said:
"Hayakumo Sōma, you've done a fine job too. I, the Flame Blaze Emperor, am very pleased to hear your words. Your growth is indeed remarkable. I'll leave this place to you for now. I'm preparing to return to Konoha and use my Shadow Clones to complete the succession ceremony tomorrow morning."
Hayakumo Sōma heard that the Hokage was leaving that morning, he immediately nodded and said respectfully:
"Lord Hokage, these are the Silver Coins we looted in Daimyo's Estate, along with a large amount of gold. I'm offering them to the village as a token of my appreciation, hoping it will please you, Lord Hokage."
After saying that, Hayakumo Sōma directly opened his Storage Scroll, took out more than a dozen Storage Scrolls from Storage Scroll, and put them all in front of Qingcheng.
Qingcheng took the Storage Scrolls that Hayakumo Sōma handed him, put them all away, and then praised the two of them:
"You two have both worked very well. You've done an excellent job with the affairs of the Land of Fire. I, the Hokage, have seen it all. Once things are completely stable in the Land of Fire, we'll begin our next move."
Upon hearing Qingcheng's words that morning, Shouhon Yihan and Hayakumo Sōma immediately stood at attention and replied, "Understood, subordinates."
After accepting the spoils of war from the Land of Fire, Qingcheng immediately formed hand seals and shouted, "Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
With a bang, a cloud of white smoke rose, and a Shadow Clone of Qingcheng emerged from the main hall of the Blaze Emperor Hall.
Qingcheng smiled and said to his Shadow Clone, "I'll leave the succession ceremony of the Blaze Emperor to you. I need to return to Konoha; there are still over a million people there."
Upon hearing Qingcheng's words, the Shadow Clone said awkwardly, "Your real self should go back to making soy milk! There aren't any pretty women here, so you have no interest in staying."
The Shadow Clone directly spoke the original's thoughts, "Qingcheng came here for the Land of Fire's inventory; he didn't care that much about the position of Land of Fire's Daimyo."
However, this money represents decades of savings for the Land of Fire, the wealthiest country in the entire Land of Fire Shinobi World. Qingcheng had been eyeing it for some time, but hesitated to act because Konoha didn't need the money. Even now, Konoha still doesn't need it; it's just that Qingcheng enjoys robbing the Land of Fire's wealth.
After clearing out the entire treasury of the incredibly wealthy Daming Daimyo's Estate, Qingcheng was extremely excited, secretly smiling to himself:
"This is so exhilarating! It's even more satisfying than warming Tsunade twice. The Land of Fire has yielded a total of 300 billion Silver Coin, and with the 100 billion Silver Coin in my Yomi Space, my entire fortune is 400 billion Silver Coin. I could buy an entire country right now! Hehehe,"
The thought of all that money made Qingcheng want to laugh. It was no exaggeration to say he was the richest man in the Shinobi World, and he could leave Tomoki a substantial fortune.
Qingcheng thought to himself, "I'll go find Konan again later and see if she knows anything about Nagato's movements. I'll also leave her some gifts. After all these years, she hasn't been warmed by anyone. Let's see if I can win her heart."
Shouhon Yihan looked at Qingcheng's face, which was always smiling, and said with a fawning expression, "Hokage, are you happy today? I have a small idea,"
Qingcheng immediately nodded, smiling, and said, "Tell me about it."
Upon hearing Qingcheng's agreement, Shouhon Yihan excitedly added, "Today, several members of the Uchiha Clan want to join my Konoha Police Force. Could I accept them? I think they're quite excellent."
Qingcheng smiled and said with a serious face, "Little Demon, did you take bribes? This guy is really something, actually sending money to you. I was thinking of forming an Uchiha Clan squad."
Upon hearing this, Shouhon Yihan quickly shook her head and said with a surprised expression:
"Hokage, I didn't take their money. It's just that those Uchiha Clan members approached me, all claiming to be friends of Uchiha Yongcheng, and wanted to work for the Police Force. They even praised me as a good dog of the Uchiha Clan, so I agreed."
Upon hearing this, Qingcheng's forehead creased with a few black lines, and he said with a serious expression:
"Shouhon Yihan, you have no bottom line. Although what they said is also true, you are my good Houmi and my loyal Hachiko, not their pet dog. Next time, you need to learn to say no. If anyone calls you a dog, you should bite them."
Upon hearing the Hokage's words, Shouhon Yihan exclaimed in surprise, "Hokage -sama, baring your teeth and biting others, isn't that still being a dog?"
Qingcheng waved his hand and said with a serious expression, "Shouhon Yihan, you are one of Konoha's Five Tiger Generals, not a dog of the Uchiha Clan. Live with dignity, and don't be afraid to do anything bad. I, the Hokage, will cover for you."
Shouhon Yihan said with tears of gratitude, "Thank you, Lord Hokage! Thank you, Lord Hokage! I will definitely do my best to do bad things!"
Seeing this explosive scene in the Hayakumo Sōma thought to himself, "Shouhon Yihan is becoming more and more outrageous. How did he learn to flatter so skillfully, and to the point that it's ingrained in his very bones? This kind of person is practically a saint among officials; he has absolutely no bottom line."
Qingcheng used the Flying Thunder God Technique to leave Shadow Clone in the Land of Fire to complete the succession ceremony of the Blaze Emperor.
He then used the Flying Thunder God Technique, and with a whoosh, returned directly to Konoha.
Shouhon Yihan and Hayakumo Sōma watched as Qingcheng vanished, leaving only a Shadow Clone. Both wore smiles and said, "Please come in, Lord Hokage."
Qingcheng put away his clothes, changed into ordinary attire, and headed straight for Samui's villa area.
