Raiding Houses at Night

All the civilian ninjas were astonished, secretly thinking, "If we perform well, the reward of three B-rank Ninjutsu would be fantastic!"

However, the clan ninjas weren't very interested in B-rank Ninjutsu; they were more interested in the money. They immediately asked, "Lord, what exactly constitutes excellent performance?"

Uchiha Qingcheng looked at the Inuzuka Clan were asking questions and explained with a serious expression, "For example, if we catch a spy, we go and raid their house, and then see who raids it the cleanest. That person is considered an excellent member of the Police Force."

Qingcheng looked at the members of the Police Force, their appetites whetted by the promises he had made, and some of Police Force had even completely surrendered, ready to work alongside him.

Qingcheng then said with a serious expression, "When it comes time to distribute the year-end bonuses, I'll give him three million Ryo, plus three B-rank Ninjutsu, so he can take it home and have a prosperous New Year. What do you guys think?"

The civilian ninjas were in an uproar, shouting, "Lord Minister, give the order! We will all follow you to the death!"

Some civilian ninjas, with fervent expressions, directly asked, "If we learn these Ninjutsu, can we pass them on to our families?"

Qingcheng observed that most of the commoner ninjas had fallen into this trap. Because they were commoner ninjas, they had very few resources and basically no advanced Ninjutsu. Their descendants were in much the same situation; once the Ninja World War or special missions occurred, they would essentially be cannon fodder.

Privately, ordinary ninjas would find friends and exchange Ninjutsu to learn from each other. However, the skill level of ordinary ninjas was relatively low; most of what they could exchange were C-rank Ninjutsu, and B-rank Ninjutsu were their most treasured secrets.

So when they heard that Qingcheng was going to offer three B-rank Ninjutsu as a reward, they were all very excited, and even began to fantasize about becoming outstanding employees and already having obtained B-rank Ninjutsu.

Uchiha Qingcheng further enticed them, saying directly, "You can pass on your Ninjutsu to your family members, or exchange Ninjutsu with your friends. You can even write a guarantee that you can have any type of Ninjutsu you want. I have Ninjutsu of all five elements: wind, fire, lightning, earth, and water."

Qingcheng took a breath and said with a serious expression, "Even Sealing Jutsu are available in the Uchiha Clan's warehouse. Everyone, the Uchiha Clan is a great ninja clan with a five-thousand-year history. The Ninjutsu in our warehouse are almost moldy. Even my dog is practicing Fire Release Ninjutsu."

The Hyuga Clan ninjas, upon hearing about Sealing Jutsu, instantly perked up and asked expectantly, "Minister Qingcheng, can your clan's Sealing Jutsu break the Caged Bird Seal?"

These are all ninja from the Hyuga Branch Family, wearing Konoha Forehead Protector to cover the Caged Bird Seal on their foreheads.

Qingcheng deliberately threw out this smokescreen to see if the Hyuga Branch Family members wanted their freedom. If they wanted their freedom, they'd have to work hard and strive to become outstanding members.

Qingcheng said with a serious expression, "Our Uchiha Clan Sealing Jutsu are indeed exceptionally powerful, already considered A-rank Forbidden Jutsu, and there are several S-rank Mission Sealing Jutsu that could potentially break the Caged Bird Seal."

Upon hearing this, several Hyuga Branch Family ninjas were instantly filled with surprise and said in shock, "S-rank Mission Sealing Jutsu is truly amazing. No wonder it is a family of Dōjutsu that is on par with our Hyuga Clan."

Then these Hyuga Clan ninjas spoke up again, saying, "The Mangekyō Sharingan is indeed superior to the Byakugan; we, the Hyuga Clan, are convinced."

Qingcheng asked with a serious expression, "Who is in charge of the finances of the Konoha Police Force?"

Immediately, a young man with a ponytail spoke up, saying, "Minister Qingcheng, I am the head of the finance department of the Konoha Security Forces. My name is Nara Ji. Nice to meet you."

Upon hearing this, Qingcheng thought to himself, "As expected of the Nara Clan with their high emotional intelligence, they are meticulous in their words and actions, never taking sides or getting into conflicts with others. What they fear most is trouble."

Qingcheng said with a serious expression, "How much money does our Konoha Police Force have left? Is it enough to celebrate the New Year this year?"

Upon hearing this, Nara Ji replied respectfully, "Reporting to the Minister, we still have 59 million yen left in our treasury, which was brought over by Sarutobi Shirauo. If you dismiss him, those who left are all officers from the Police Force. They took the lion's share of our salaries, which should be enough to last until the New Year."

"Yamanaka Fu and Aburame Torune, after locking up the Hachikaku Tetsuma in the basement cell, returned to the conference room."

Yamanaka Fu said with a serious expression, "Minister Qingcheng, we have already detained that war criminal. When are you going to interrogate him?"

Qingcheng waved his hand, gesturing for the two to sit down. Yamanaka Fu and Aburame Torune casually chose seats and sat down, ready to learn about Qingcheng's advanced theories.

Looking at these members of the Police Force, Qingcheng began assigning personnel roles, speaking to Yamanaka Fu, "You will serve as the staff officer of the Konoha Police Force Police Force, leading all the team members in daily patrols of Konoha's main streets. At night, we'll arrest spies and raid their homes."

Upon hearing this, Yamanaka Fu was instantly filled with surprise and said in shock, "Lord Qingcheng, can I really do it? I'm afraid I won't be able to raid the houses properly, but patrolling is definitely no problem."

Qingcheng said sternly, "You good-for-nothing, you've been in the Root for two whole years, and you can't even do a proper house raid."

Upon hearing this, Yamanaka Fu said in a panic, "Minister Qingcheng, I've only been in the Root for two and a half years. According to your logic, two and a half years equals one Kun year. I only have one Kun year. It was Aburame Torune for two Kun years."

Qingcheng immediately rebuked him, "Yamanaka Fu, you've overstepped your bounds again!"

Qingcheng then added, "Confiscating property isn't difficult. First, find those families that Danzo, arrest them all, and then confiscate all their money and Ninjutsu. That's what confiscating property is all about."

Qingcheng then said with a serious expression, "Tonight, we'll wipe out the Hakkaku Clan. They're all war criminals. We'll give you a taste of what's what."

All the Police Force personnel were shocked, thinking to themselves, "They've already planned this all out? This is terrifying."

Another group of civilians looked excited and shouted, "I want to become an excellent member of the Police Force! Don't worry, Minister Qingcheng, I will perform well in this operation and wipe out the Hakkaku Clan completely!"

Qingcheng looked at the member who was shouting the most excitedly and said directly, "Hey, the member with glasses, what's your name? I think you're an old hand at this. Do you have any experience or insights into raiding houses?"

The member wearing glasses, upon hearing Qingcheng call his name, excitedly said, "Minister, my name is Zhangben Zhihe. I used to rob bandits and outlaws when I was on missions, so I'm very skilled at looting and I love cash."

Qingcheng thought to himself, "He even matches my major. No wonder he looks so much like Zhang Benyihan, he's practically the 'Mad Demon' of the Shinobi World."

Qingcheng said with an approving look, "How about you be called Shouhon Yihan from now on? It's unlucky to be called that cardboard box name. From now on, you'll work for the department head, okay?"

Zhangben Zhihe, beaming with excitement, said, "Thank you, Minister. From now on, my name will be Shouhon Yihan."
