My name is Uchiha Touhuan, and I beat the villagers so badly they cried out in pain.

Kakashi was a little confused by Uchiha Touhuan's words. The Land of Waves? Does the Uchiha clan have some kind of business there?

Kakashi wanted to ask more questions, but a series of loud calls suddenly rang out from the doorway, forcing him to stop in his tracks.

"Kakashi! Kakashi!" A man in a green suit with a beanie-shaped haircut kept waving at him at the entrance of the banquet.

Seeing this, Kakashi could only facepalm, not knowing what to say. He had told him yesterday that he should wear something more formal today, and Guy did listen to his advice, but this guy just couldn't stand this color.

Moreover, it's clear that this guy didn't come all the way upside down because he was being considerate of the Uchiha clan.

In addition to the Inuzuka and Aburame clans and former members of the Fourth Hokage, some members of the Anbu and some Jonin were also invited to the banquet. They were all those who chose to give up during the martial law incident last night.

After the banquet began, the Uchiha clan, as the hosts, quickly demonstrated their generosity, serving dishes made with various expensive ingredients that even many of the Jonin present had only heard of.

Among these items were specialties from the Land of Lightning, the Land of Earth, and the Land of Water. It's worth noting that the price of these items was secondary; the most important thing was that Uchiha Touhuan had just told him last night that he was going to hold this banquet, and in less than half a day, the Uchiha clan had gathered so many things. Seeing this, Kakashi couldn't help but marvel at the wealth of his ally once again.

Naruto was overwhelmed by the sheer number of options and didn't know where to begin.

At this moment, Uchiha Touhuan, holding a wine glass, came to the front of the long banquet table and raised his glass.

Upon seeing this, everyone at the banquet turned to look at him.

"I am honored to have you all here today. The Uchiha clan has nothing much to offer, but we have managed to purchase these items overnight from all over the ninja world through our clan's summoning beast, the ninja cat clan. I hope you enjoy your meal and are satisfied with what you have to say," said Uchiha Tohwan.

"Thank you for the hospitality, Clan Chief Touhuan and the Uchiha clan! To Clan Chief Touhuan!" Inuzuka Jaw, who was not far from Uchiha Touhuan, took the lead in raising his glass.

"Homage to Chief Tohwan!" In the Dark Division's ranks, Nagai Seiichi also raised his wine glass.

"Homage to Clan Chief Dou Huan!" Upon seeing this, the Jonin who had come to the banquet also raised their glasses.

Kakashi then raised his glass and said loudly, "To Clan Chief Tohwan!"

The fourth generation's former subordinates who came with him, along with Kai, raised their glasses together: "To Chief Doo-hwan!"

"It's all thanks to your kindness, everyone." Uchiha Touhuan smiled brightly, raised his glass, and drank the wine in one gulp.

Everyone raised their glasses and drank the wine in them.

After finishing his drink, Uchiha Touhuan looked at Kakashi not far away and said with a smile, "Well then, let's have our three World War heroes, the legend of the Anbu, Hatake Kakashi, say a few words to everyone."

Kakashi, who had been called out, walked over to Uchiha Touhuan very naturally and refilled his empty wine glass.

"It is an honor to stand here with you all," Kakashi said. "As the center of this incident, I did not expect things to develop to this point. As things unfolded, I felt very helpless. Fortunately, at the critical moment, the Security Department intervened in time to stop this farce. With the trust and help of my colleagues, I was able to successfully weather this storm. I raise this glass to you all."

After Kakashi raised his glass and drank the wine in it, everyone else raised their glasses again.

After a round of drinks, Uchiha Touhuan spoke again: "This operation by the Security Department is to purge those who collude with rival villages and attempt to tarnish the purity of the Will of Fire by smearing the village's heroes. It's all to ensure the purity of the Will of Fire! The village's current state owes much to the spiritual legacy left by the First Hokage—the Will of Fire. It is under the guidance of the Will of Fire that the village exists today. Therefore, the Security Department has zero tolerance for any act that tarnishes the Will of Fire!"

"And the reason why you all lent a helping hand yesterday was because of that noble Will of Fire in your hearts, wasn't it? It was the Will of Fire that united us and helped us thwart this conspiracy!" Uchiha Touhuan continued.

After speaking, Uchiha Touhuan smiled and looked around at everyone at the long table: "To be able to drink with so many colleagues who share the Will of Fire, today is the happiest day of my life!"

"Chief Douhuan's words are truly profound!" At this moment, Kakashi also stepped forward and said, "I propose that we raise a toast together to the Will of Fire!"

"A toast to the will of fire!" Everyone raised their glasses in unison, and another round of drinks followed.

"Everyone, enjoy your meal and drinks today!" Uchiha Touhuan chuckled as he put down his wine glass, announcing the official start of the banquet.

……

After the banquet ended, the attendees gradually dispersed, while Kakashi and Uchiha Touhuan went to the banks of the Naka River, with Yamato following far behind them.

After arriving at an open area on the riverbank, Uchiha Touhuan called Yamato over, handed him a blueprint, and pointed to the open space, saying, "Please build a building here for me. Just make it the same size as the current prison of the Security Department, but make sure the internal facilities are good. After all, this is not a place to detain ordinary criminals."

Yamato approached the two, appearing somewhat reserved in front of Uchiha Touhuan. However, Uchiha Touhuan simply patted him on the shoulder with a friendly expression and said, "Relax. You didn't really have a choice about what happened before, but now the person who forced you is dead. As long as you hold onto the Will of Fire, then we can all be good partners, right?"

"Yes, I understand." Yamato nodded, took the blueprint from Uchiha Touhuan, looked at it carefully, then gestured for the two to step back a little before rapidly forming hand seals.

"Wood Release: Linked Pillars!" After forming the hand seals, Yamato placed his hands on the ground. After a surge of chakra, saplings sprouted from the soil on the open ground, quickly grew into giant trees, and then gathered together, beginning to transform into the shape of buildings.

"Are you planning to lock those two advisors up here?" Kakashi asked.

"Yes, after all, the Third Hokage has spoken up, so we have to consider his feelings. We can't just lock the two advisors up with those ordinary criminals," Uchiha Touhuan said. "By the way, how about we take up a temporary post here?"

"Want to work here?" Kakashi glanced at the building that was taking shape. "Sure, as long as you don't mind me being late every day."
