Konoha Hypocrite (Part-1)

Chapter 80: A Victor's Speech, Winning People's Hearts

Yoshiwara Ao took a deep breath, slightly bent his knees, and jumped onto the North City Guard Residence gate. Then, he coughed softly, "Hello, everyone, I'm Yoshiwara Ao, the attendant leader of the North City Guard's Captain, Uchiha Tonan."

"In recent years, the North City Guard received several anonymous reports on people trafficking young children. But it's a pity that under the leadership of previous captains, no progress was made in the investigation. Since Tonan-sama assumed the post and heard about it, he attached great importance to this grave issue. He led the entire team and launched 'Rescue Hope' to resolve this crime."

"Under his heroic leadership, the North City Guard secretly investigated this for three months. After sacrificing several brave undercover agents, not long ago, we were able to thoroughly locate all human traffickers' hideouts outside the northern city."

"Last night, the North City Guard was finally ready to make a move. Under Tonan-sama's command, we fought a fierce battle with the underworld forces. In the end, North City Guard achieved a complete victory, wiping out three large-scale and six small-scale human trafficking organizations."

"Killed 26 stubbornly fighting people, that included 13 ninjas, 74 criminals were captured alive. We saved 63 young children. Now, let us welcome Tonan-sama to speak."

After Ao finished speaking, he jumped down from the gate.

Clap, clap, clap...

The North City Guard members took the initiative to applaud, and the onlooking civilians joined in, going with the flow. Tonan's figure flashed, and he instantly appeared on the gate.

This trick caught the onlookers' attention. Tonan raised his hand slowly. The North City Guard members stopped clapping, and the onlookers followed suit. Everything was completely under Tonan's rhythm.

Tonan coughed lightly and said with a stern look, "Ladies and gentlemen, we won a perfect victory in the operation to crackdown human trafficking organizations. But this is not my credit alone. It is the effort of all North City Guard members."

"In particular, I would like to commend the undercover agents of this operation. Their efforts, dedication, determination, and fearlessness allowed us to achieve such a positive outcome. I would also like to commend the spirit of the North City Guard itself for perseverance to exert, and not being afraid of hardships..."

"Through this special 'Rescue Hope' operation, we have greatly frightened the capital's criminals, and effectively curbed the rising trend of the underground forces. We vigorously defended the public security and stability outside the northern city and even the entire Fire Capital."

"But we cannot be conceited or satisfied because of this victory. As the solid line of defense for the people, we must understand the present situation. Crime is not limited to these vile acts. Various factors inducing and breeding crimes still exist in large numbers. The public safety situation is still a concern."

"Therefore, the work is still not over. Today, on behalf of the entire North City Guard, I take an oath. We will never shield or condone any criminal activities. We'll have a firm conviction, stick to our purpose, and refuse to live under the same sky as the underworld forces."

Tonan looked determined as he held his right fist high. In the next moment, a tsunami-like response resounded across the area.

"Long live, Tonan-sama!"

"Long live, North City Guard!"

"Long live, Tonan-sama!"
