Inuzuka Hana's Gratitude

Shouhon Yihan looked at Qingcheng's stern face and thought to herself, "The minister's gaze is absolutely awful. Just one look from him and my underwear is soaked."

Shouhon Yihan thought to herself, "Acting with the Minister is so tiring, both mentally and emotionally. The pressure is just too much."

Shouhon Yihan thought to herself, "I really admire the Third Hokage. He dares to stare into the Minister's Mangekyou Mangekyō Sharingan and still remain calm and composed, arguing with the Minister for dozens of rounds each time. If it were an ordinary person, staring at the Minister like that would have killed them seven or eight times over."

Seeing this, Inuzuka Hana was extremely grateful. Seeing that Qingcheng dared to contradict the Third Hokage to protect her, she said with a moved expression, "Minister Qingcheng, I'm so grateful to you. I'm willing to pay the fine."

Inuzuka Hana said with a look of adoration, "If we meet again in the future, I will be extremely grateful to you, and I will agree to any request you make."

Nara Ji watched as Inuzuka Hana immediately started pulling out her money, thinking to himself, "Hana has been completely ruined by Minister Qingcheng." He then sighed, "Ugh! This is just too much trouble."

Looking at Inuzuka Hana, who had already been thoroughly exploited, Qingcheng thought to himself, "This innocent girl, if she were in that era, would have been sold out and would still be counting the money for the seller."

Then Qingcheng roared to the sky, his face full of anger, and said, "Hiruzen Sarutobi, I'd rather die than see this! How dare they issue such a demand? What Beautiful Konoha Plan? It's just turning our Police Force into a 'security pot'!"

Shouhon Yihan accepted the fine from Inuzuka Hana and said with a serious expression, "Inuzuka Hana, since Minister Qingcheng is protecting you, we won't send you to jail. You should go back now; we need to hand over this fine to the village."

Inuzuka Hana looked at Qingcheng with gratitude, her eyes reddening, and said, "Minister Qingcheng, I'll be going back now. Hope we meet again someday. I'm so grateful that you stood up for me. Please come visit our Inuzuka Clan sometime; my mother is the clan head."

Qingcheng then said to Inuzuka Hana, "When I took over as the Police Force, Sarutobi Shirauo made things difficult for me at every turn. After I dismissed him, the Third Hokage must have made this request as revenge."

Qingcheng then said with a serious expression, "Ahua, go to my office and wait for me. I'll come find you after my meeting."

Upon hearing this, Inuzuka Hana smiled broadly and said, "Yes, Captain. I'll be waiting for you."

After saying that, Inuzuka Hana took the dog and walked towards the office on the other side.

A hint of smugness and anticipation flickered across Inuzuka Hana's face as she thought to herself, "Qingcheng-kun wants me to wait for him in his office. This means Qingcheng-kun has feelings for me. That's wonderful!"

Inuzuka Hana then said to the large wolfhound beside her, "Hanamaru, go wait for me in the courtyard. You're shedding dog hair, which will dirty Qingcheng-kun's office."

Nara Ji stared at Inuzuka Hana, who was completely infatuated with him, and thought to himself, "How Evil Uchiha! To oppose a guy like that is certain death. They're just too despicable."

Nara Ji thought to himself, "The most terrifying person is not someone with brute force, but someone who possesses immense strength, coupled with a brilliant mind and the skill to manipulate power with cunning. When all these qualities are combined in one person, that person becomes the most terrifying being."

Looking at the expectant Inuzuka Hana, Shouhon Yihan thought to herself, "The club president has gained another girl's affections. This is too fast. I think the Uchiha Clan will definitely become the main clan of Konoha in the future, just like the Sarutobi Clan today."

Qingcheng looked at Shouhon Yihan's fawning face and directly reprimanded her, "You've overstepped your bounds again! You're taking the fine and don't know how to hand it over? Are you planning a rebellion?"

Shouhon Yihan said with a smile, "I'm sorry, Minister, I'll hand it over right away." She then handed one million Ryo to Qingcheng and said with a flattering expression, "How was my performance just now, Minister?"

Qingcheng then took out two more B-rank Water Release Ninjutsu from his pocket: Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet and Water Release: Water Dragon Biting Explosion, and handed them directly to Shouhon Yihan.

Shouhon Yihan stared in astonishment at the two Ninjutsu, and said with gratitude, "Thank you, Minister. These two advanced Water Release Ninjutsu are truly amazing. I, Shouhon Yihan, will definitely continue to work hard in the future."

The members of the Police Force all looked on with envy, secretly thinking, "We could actually do what Captain Zhang did."

The members of the Third Squad, mostly clan ninjas, weren't as envious of these advanced Water Release Ninjutsu. They simply asked expectantly, "If we're outstanding members, will the captain reward us with A-rank Ninjutsu?"

Qingcheng deliberately placed these clan members in the Third Squad because these clan ninjas are picky about supplies, and they generally prioritize their clans, so they won't stick with you to the bitter end.

So Qingcheng's tasks for them were to arrest people or do dirty work; they weren't allowed to do classified missions.

The First Squad and Second Squad are mostly composed of civilian ninjas. If you gather them up and feed them regularly, they might even dare to stage a coup with you. They're a potential foundational force.

However, the strength of these civilian team members was so poor that it was impossible to look at them directly. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe them as ugly and deformed. They were basically all Chunin, and they would only be cannon fodder if they went to stage a coup. They could usually only wave flags and shout slogans, or add another mouth to slander the Third Hokage.

Qingcheng thought to himself, "Another day of missing my Uchiha Clan cousins. If they were all alive, I could have easily swept through Konoha with those Uchiha Clan warriors. I wouldn't have needed to resort to all this political maneuvering."

Then Qingcheng said with a serious expression, "Shouhon Yihan! I hereby appoint you as the deputy minister of the Konoha Police Force, in charge of the First Squad, and as the commander-in-chief of the Beautiful Konoha Plan. You will be fully responsible for this operation and will make the most of the oil-scooping tactics."

Upon hearing this, Shouhon Yihan looked excited and immediately exclaimed, "Thank you, Minister! I will do my utmost to help the Konoha Police Force reach new heights!"

Looking at Zhang Ben's excited face, Qingcheng then said, "That street of our Uchiha Clan are all my shops. You don't need to worry about those illegal buildings; I'll just raise the rent next time."

Upon hearing this, Shouhon Yihan replied respectfully, "I understand, Minister. There are no illegal buildings on that street."

Qingcheng then said with a serious expression, "The open space around Ichiraku Ramen Restaurant belongs to our Uchiha Clan. They are currently building the Uchiha Food Street. Don't worry about those illegal buildings, even if they are built on the road."

Upon hearing this, Shouhon Yihan chimed in, "Those buildings are legal, there's absolutely no problem with them, so everyone doesn't need to look at them."

Qingcheng then said with a serious expression, "All guards, remember this: everything can be fined, even things that are illegal in appearance will be fined."

Upon hearing this, Shouhon Yihan said excitedly, "Understood, Minister! We must thoroughly punish Konoha and leave no trace of evil alive!"

Qingcheng then emphasized, "Since it's the Third Hokage's request for the Beautiful Konoha Village Plan, let's start with the Sarutobi Clan's ninja tool shop. All members of the Police Force, charge! Run!"

Upon hearing Qingcheng's words, all the members of the Police Force shouted, "Charge! Let's go to the streets and grab some scraps!"

Immediately, the entire Police Force building began to shake, the rumbling sound echoing through the sky. All the members of the Police Force followed Shouhon Yihan, running towards the streets of Konoha like a pack of hungry wolves.

Shouhon Yihan shouted directly, "Take the big ones first, surround the Sarutobi Clan's ninja tool shop!"
