Chapter 541: Rumors Escalate

Public opinion is always a terrible weapon.

That's when Kakashi felt the feeling.

Having no excuse.

The way the villagers looked at Kakashi was completely different from before.

It's not that hard to smear a person.

The fact that the half-truth is enough to convince more people that this is the truth.

And public opinion is such a thing, and those who speak out later often suffer.

Preconceived notions, that's the truth.

Even if Tsunade has tried his best to eliminate the influence of this kind of rhetoric, it will not be able to eliminate it all in a short period of time.

What's more, the bigger crisis in the village at this time lies in the hostility of the other four ninja villages.

The words of Beryuhu have already put Konoha on the cusp.

Although it is said that the truth will come sooner or later, the truth that comes late often causes great losses.

Some truths will even be forever drowned in the torrent of history.

It's like the death of White Fang.

White Fang is not famous, but not discredited by rumors.

Until after his death, not many people justified his name.

At this time, in the middle of the roots, Oban knelt in front of Tuanzang.

Tuan Zang opened his mouth and said, "B, how is the situation?" ”

"Returning to Danzo-sama, rumors about Kakashi have been spreading since yesterday, and now they have all been spread, and the effect is good, among the civilians, most of them have become suspicious of Kakashi, and even a small half have a grudge against Kakashi. It's just that the effect between ninjas is not so ideal. ”

"Well, that's good enough. Has the daimyo already sent someone to summon Tsunade? Has she already left Konoha? ”

"Yes! The Daimyo-sama had just summoned Hokage-sama and was already on his way to the City of Fire. It is not expected to be back for two days. B replied.

"It's good, Tsunade isn't in Konoha, and with Kakashi, who has now been stripped of his position, he can't suppress these rumors at all. Next, it's the last fire, hmph, Kakashi, I was able to use rumors to force your father Shuo Mao to death, and today, even if I don't force you to death, I'm going to ruin your reputation! Or even become a traitor! This Konoha doesn't need an existence like you! ”

Danzo sneered, as if he had seen the victory that was within reach and Kakashi, who was forced out of the village by himself.

"B, get ready to spread the next message."

"Please instruct Danzo-sama!"

A cold light flickered in Danzo's right eye, and he whispered, "The civilians have been shaken, but this is not enough, I want the ninjas to shake their trust in Kakashi as well." Otherwise, my plan would not have been carried out. Now, you immediately spread the news of the Golden Ninja Village! Let's just say that Kakashi has a close relationship with the Golden Ninja Village, and it is very likely that he will betray Konoha! There are also people from the Hagi clan in the Golden Ninja Village, and it is very likely that it was a premeditated plan of the Hagi clan, and Kakashi is likely to be a spy. ”

Hearing this, Yi felt a slight chill in his heart, but he didn't expect Danzou to force Kakashi to his death.

But after receiving training for a long time, B still responded immediately: "Yes! Danzo-sama. ”

"Let's go down."

B left the room and went down to prepare for the next step.

It takes a lot of manpower.

Soon, in the empty room, only Tuan Zang was left.

"As long as Kakashi's cancer is removed, Konoha's future is in my hands. Richo, since you have unloaded this burden, then I will take it unceremoniously. How could Konoha be left to someone as incompetent as Tsunade and Kakashi. Only I can lead the village to a higher apex. ”

Danzang's cold voice echoed through the room.

At this time, the third Hokage was playing shogi with Asma in the Sarutobi Mansion.

The chess game was in a state of stalemate, but if you look closely, the three generations of Hokage have the advantage, but there is no forcing momentum, and there is just a peaceful offensive.

Asma lit a cigarette, scratched her hair, sighed, and said, "Old man, I lost." ”

"Hehe, if you admit defeat so quickly, you still have a chance to take a few more steps."

"No, I know it's the result of losing, so why continue. Anyway, the kid who lost to Shikamaru is used to it. Asma chuckled.

It doesn't seem to be at all annoyed by the failure.

The three generations of Hokage shook his head with a smile and said, "It seems that after getting married, your competitive personality has also softened a little. ”

Asma was a little embarrassed when she heard this, and a happy smile appeared on her face.

After marrying Hong, and knowing that Red was pregnant, Asma did become much softer.

Seeing Asma show such an expression, the three generations of Hokage were also comforted.

At his age, he actually wants to see a happy life together as a family.

Konoha, who has been worrying about him all his life, has already been taken over by Tsunade, and then Kakashi will take over, so there should be no problem.

It is precisely because of this that the three generations of Hokage can enjoy this peace of mind with peace of mind.

Asma suddenly thought of something, so he said, "Old man, Lord Goyome has gone to the City of Fire, and now the rumors about Kakashi in the village are very fierce. What do you think? ”

The third generation Hokage sighed when he heard this, and said, "It should be that the group is hiding again." ”

"Tuanzang?"

The third Hokage looked at the Hokage Rock in the distance and said, "The second Hokage-sama entrusted Konoha to me, but I disappointed him. Nidaime-sama can maintain the terrifying balance between peace and threat, but I can't, so I have the existence of Danzo. I and Tuanzang are each other's surfaces and insides, so that we can govern this Konoha. Now Tuan Zang is probably restless again. ”

"Old man, Lord Wudaimu is not here, if you let Tuan Zang continue to toss like this, I'm afraid something will happen." Asma whispered.

The three generations of Hokage were silent when they heard this.

He didn't know.

Back then, he allowed Tuan Zang to spread the news of Shuomao, which led to Shuomao's untimely death.

Now, it seems that Tuan Zang has begun to repeat his old tricks again.

"Old man, there are only people in the village who can suppress this rumor now, but you are the only one."

With the prestige of the three generations of Hokage, suppressing this discordant voice is absolutely immediate.

After all, over the years, the dedication of the three generations of Hokage to Konoha is obvious to all.

Just as the three generations of Hokage were thinking about it, Konohamaru ran in from outside!

"Grandpa! Uncle! Oh no! Something happened! Konohamaru gasped for air, his right hand propped up on the doorpost beside him.

"What's wrong? Konohamaru, it's so big and frizzy. The three generations of Hokage reproached.

Konohamaru took a deep breath and then said, "Grandpa! Someone in the village said that Kakashi-sensei was going to rebel! ”

"What!"

The three generations of Hokage and Asma stood up at the same time, their faces shocked.
