Chapter 55: Spreading Rumors
After leaving with Maitkai, the two returned to their previous cultivation location, and after practicing again for a period of time, Maitkai suddenly remembered that there was something else to do, so he hurriedly said goodbye to Uchihaji, and then the two left separately.
The journey back was not far, and the Uchiha returned home after walking alone for a while.
Pushing open the door, there was a scroll on the ground, and there was nothing written on the cover, except the family crest of the Uchiha clan.
"Was it delivered so soon?"
Uchiha said in surprise, and then picked it up, sure enough, it was about the follow-up development direction of the Sharingan, and he didn't plan to delay, since he had seen Kakashi before, and at the same time, it was clear that Konoha was about to have turmoil.
For the next period of time, he didn't plan to continue going out, but followed the instructions of Uchiha Fugaku, stayed at home and devoted himself to cultivation, and tried to adapt to the power of Sangotama as soon as possible.
……
Meanwhile.
Konoha Village, Hokage Building.
Inside the Hokage's office.
Just after the Uchiha decided not to go out for the next period of time, the atmosphere in the Hokage's office at this moment began to be silent, and the four people who held the supreme power of Konoha sat on their sides, each with different emotions in their eyes.
“……”
After a period of silence, Mito Menyan spoke first:
"Guys, have you decided?"
As Konoha's senior advisor, although he is an idle position on the surface, with his relationship with Sarutobi Hiza, coupled with his own qualifications, he is now middle-aged and has a huge amount of power, so he can participate in this meeting.
Yuan Fei Ri Chop, Zhuan Koharu, Mito Menyan, and finally Shimura Danzo.
Being able to have these four high-level leaders who hold the power of Konoha attend at the same time, this meeting is to some extent related to the change of power, once it fails, even if there are three generations to protect it, the only way waiting for them is to step down.
After all, what they are going to discuss now is a plan for what to do with Hachiki Shuo Shigeru next.
Syllable!
Shimura Danzo slapped the table, then got up suddenly, and said angrily to Sarutobi who was sitting on the side:
"It's been decided a long time ago, Yuan Fei! If you want me to say that you should act decisively, it is because you have been hesitant that we are so passive now. ”
"If I had acted before, even if the war was not over, I would have been confident that the impact would have been minimized with the means of the roots!"
Today's ape flying sun slash rarely wore a robe of the gods, a shadow hat representing the identity of the three generations of Hokage, and the white cloth covered his expression at this time, making it impossible to see through what he was thinking.
Knock Knock......
Tapping his fingers on the tabletop, Yuan Feiri looked up after a moment of silence, his eyes under the brim of his hat looked very calm:
"Danzo, do you know what you're talking about? We are not dealing with an unknown person, but a flag tree that became famous as early as the middle of World War II and is known as Konoha White Fang! ”
"So what! With the roots in my hands, he can't make waves at all! ”
"That's not the problem!" was rebuffed by Shimura Tunzang in person, which made Sarutobi feel that his majesty was offended, and immediately said angrily, then crossed his hands together, put his chin on it, and looked at Shimura Tunzang with a calm look:
"The question now is how to eliminate the negative effects of this incident and ensure the stability of the village without causing turmoil among the ninjas on the front line."
"That's the most important thing."
“……”
As soon as these words came out, the other three suddenly fell silent, and Shimura Danzo had the intention to speak, but opened his mouth, and finally chose to shut up.
Subsequently, Mito Menyan and Koharu also glanced at each other, and then shook their heads at the same time, feeling that this matter was very tricky.
Hachiki Shuomao is not an unknown person, after such a long war, Konoha has certainly sacrificed a large number of ninjas, but with it, a considerable number of powerful ninjas have also risen, and among this group of ninjas, Hachiki Shuomao is the most famous, known as Konoha White Fang.
Even in the ninja manual, it is recorded that if you encounter White Fang, you can run away directly, and it is not considered as abandoning the mission, which shows that the strength of Hagi Shuo Shigeru has been unanimously recognized.
For this kind of person, if he wasn't forced to be helpless, Sarufei Sun Slash wouldn't want to do anything to him, but there was no way, as the war was coming to an end, the contradictions accumulated during the last ninja war were basically cathartic, as long as the battle of the land of rain on the front line was declared successful.
Then Konoha Village will immediately get a precious period of development, and with the return of many strong people accumulated by the war to the village, Konoha will soon be able to get rid of the current predicament, and within a few years, it will be able to become the first ninja village that oppresses the ninja world again!
But a problem also arises.
That is the candidate for the next Hokage, as we all know, the third generation is the Hokage who succeeded after the accidental death of the second Hokage, and now with the end of the Second Ninja War, the voice about the election of a new Hokage is gradually getting louder.
"Hmph, the younger generation of ninjas can't wait to make a move, can't they wait to get rid of the older generation?"
Shimura Tuanzang on the side snorted coldly, they naturally knew the truth behind this matter after experiencing a succession, it was nothing more than a group of ninjas who rose in this war and wanted to have the right to speak, but there were so many locations in a village, so they were unwilling to give up and thought of Hachiki Shuomao.
They plan to use the influence of Sakushige Hachiki to force their high-level leaders to step down.
"What a crude trick, do they think they can beat us so easily?"
Zhuan Xiaochun also snorted coldly, and then said to Yuan Feiri: "Yuan Fei, we can't drag it out, if it goes on like this, it's not just a matter of us stepping down, it's more serious, and it may even cause turmoil in Konoha." ”
"At this time, Konoha can't withstand the turmoil of a change of office, and when the time comes, as a large number of ninjas are liquidated, the ninja village that has already signed a peace treaty will not be able to bear it."
"Yuan Fei, you have to focus on the overall situation!"
The earnest tone, coupled with the last paragraph, really hit the worry of the ape flying sun.
Yes, the long war has consumed a lot of Konoha's heritage, and Konoha at this time can no longer withstand consumption.
Creak......
Clenched the teacup in his hand, the teacup made an overwhelmed sound under pressure, and after a moment of silence, Ape Fei Ri suddenly let out a sigh, and said in a lonely tone:
"Alas, it's all for Konoha, presumably ...... Hachiki Sakushige will understand us, right? ”
Then he said no more, bowed his head and returned to silence.
Seeing this, the other three glanced at each other, already understanding the decision of the ape to fly the sun, and then nodded at the same time, and turned to Koharu to stand up to end the meeting.
"So, the meeting ends."
……
……
Time passes.
With the results of this meeting, the atmosphere of Konoha soon began to change, and in the next few days, there was first gossip that framed Qimu Shuo Shigeru for communicating with the ninjas of the enemy village, resulting in the defeat of a certain battle, and then soon after, all kinds of rumors began to spread in Konoha Village.
At first, the people who heard it just smiled contemptuously, not believing that Hachiki Sakushige would do such a thing, but as the rumors grew, these people began to waver.
In this case.
Soon, a man who was said to have been saved by Sakushige Hachiki suddenly appeared on the street, tearfully accusing Sakushige Hachiki of his 'crime', and hinting that he was attacked because Sakushige Hachiki had leaked the news to the enemy!
Immediately afterwards, a ninja who came down from the battlefield confirmed this sentence, and said conclusively that Qimu Shuo Shigeru was a spy in the enemy village, specially sent to Konoha Village to steal information, causing a large number of casualties among ninjas on the front line.
These words are full of loopholes, as long as you think carefully, you can find the flaws, but at this time, the villagers have been provoked, from mere spectators to enthusiastic participation, eager to uncover the hypocritical 'appearance' of Qimu Shuomao.
This situation reaches its climax with teammates who are on a mission with Sakushige Hagi.
In the end, this public opinion quietly guided by Konoha senior management finally got the best feedback at this time, with the violation of the ninja code by Sakumo Hagiki, when performing the S-class mission, because of his own choice, after the evidence of the failure of the S-class mission appeared.
The entire Konoha was in an uproar.
