Volume 1 Chapter 343 Things can be turned over, but the hearts of the people who are hurt cannot be turned over.
It was easy for Danzo to ruin someone's reputation.
Even though the Root is gone and all the people in the open have been imprisoned, there are still Danzo's people hiding in other departments of Konoha.
It is like the dark area that has been sieved through.
"Yes, sir."
The Anbu ninja left obediently.
Looking at the sunset in the sky, Danzo said in a grim tone:
"The war has been going on for nearly two months. It's time to start planning."
The next morning, some rumors about Hatake Sakumo spread in the village.
The rumor roughly said that he assassinated the Third Mizukage on his own initiative, which led to the outbreak of war between Konoha and the Mist Village. The village suffered heavy losses, countless ninjas died on the battlefield, and a large number of families were broken up.
The villagers knew that the reason why the Mist Village declared war on Konoha was because of Hatake Sakumo.
As for the specific content, I have no idea.
Danzo ordered people to spread the news and added some information to it.
To direct public opinion toward those families whose families have been broken up by the war.
The villagers whose relatives died in the battle were plunged into grief, and the rumors spread by Danzo began to ferment at this time.
Coupled with deliberate guidance, Hatake Sakumo became the culprit who started the war.
"No way, how could Lord Hatake Sakumo do such a thing?"
"That's true. It's said that his mission was to gather intelligence, but while gathering intelligence, he also sneaked into the Mizukage's office building and assassinated the Sandaime Mizukage, which led to the outbreak of the war."
"No wonder the Mist Village won't let go. They want the village to hand over Hatake Sakumo."
"If Hokage-sama was assassinated, we would be angry too."
The villagers began to talk, and as time went by the wind began to change.
Some people began to blame Hatake Sakumo, thinking that everything was his fault. If he had not taken the initiative to assassinate the Third Mizukage, the war would not have broken out.
Hatake Sakumo is also responsible for all this.
Some families who lost their loved ones lost their minds because of the guidance of public opinion and began to accuse Hatake Sakumo of wrongdoings?
The more serious ones even went to the Hatake clan's territory to cause trouble and protest.
"Father, these people are simply slandering!!!"
Kakashi was very angry. He never thought that one day his father, whom he regarded as a hero and idol, would be slandered as a sinner of the village.
"Kakashi, stop talking nonsense."
Hatake Sakumo forced a smile and comforted his angry son. He was afraid that his son would do something impulsive because of the public opinion.
It would be difficult to end the matter then.
Things that happened so long ago suddenly broke out, and everything was going in the direction of discrediting him. This was something Hatake Sakumo had not expected.
Fortunately, he doesn't have extreme ideas.
Because he did not do anything to assassinate the Third Mizukage.
He was just trying to gather information and never expected to run into the Third Mizukage in the bathroom.
The purpose of drawing the sword and attacking was to evacuate safely, not to kill the Third Mizukage.
"Be good, go and train. You will soon be attending the Ninja School. You must not let your father down."
Because he had a clear conscience, Hatake Sakumo naturally had no extreme thoughts.
In addition, the exclusion incident happened not long ago, and Hatake Sakumo was not a fool. He naturally knew that someone deliberately brought up the past in order to discredit him and make his reputation bad.
The purpose is to cut off his possibility of becoming a candidate for Hokage.
"Is it Orochimaru? Or is it Danzo?"
Looking at the Hokage half-sleeved robe hanging on the wall, which he regarded as an honor, Hatake Sakumo laughed at himself.
At this moment, he felt very tired and heartbroken.
In the past, he didn’t quite understand why Qianyue’s relationship with the top management was so bad.
I am not willing to go to the Hokage's office to complete or submit tasks.
He would rather queue up in the mission department than salute when meeting the higher-ups.
"Maybe I should really take a break?"
Thinking back on Chitsuki's growth experience, Hatake Sakumo felt that he could really retire and rest.
Looking at his son who was training with gritted teeth and holding back his anger, Hatake Sakumo suddenly felt that perhaps retirement might be a good choice.
At least I can spend plenty of time accompanying Kakashi as he grows up.
"Where did the news come from?"
When the Third Hokage learned this, a series of question marks appeared above his head.
Is this a smoke bomb set off by the enemy?
That’s not right. If the enemy really has the ability to control Konoha’s public opinion, do they need to fight with Konoha?
"The source of the news has not been found, but it spread throughout Konoha in just one morning. There must be someone behind the scenes fanning the flames."
The people in the Anbu were also speechless. Who did this?
That's so immoral.
There was a war going on in the village, and the news spread.
If the situation gets out of hand, the consequences will be serious and may even affect the morale of the troops and the combat operations on the front lines.
Could it be Danzo?
The Third Hokage's eyelids twitched twice.
The possibility of him being a spy is very small, and the people in the Anbu haven't found any problems.
In addition to thinking about who would target Hatake Sakumo, the Third Hokage used the method of elimination and quickly locked on Danzo and Orochimaru.
Orochimaru was commanding the battle at the front line, so it was unlikely that he did it, although he had a strong motive.
But the Third Hokage believed that Orochimaru would not do such a thing. He thought he understood his disciple, so he excluded Orochimaru.
Excluding Orochimaru, the remaining suspect is Danzo.
If it was Danzo, how did he do it?
The people of Root were imprisoned, and the people of the Shimura clan did not dare to contact Danzo easily.
So the question is, who is helping Danzo do these things?
The Third Hokage's face darkened when he thought that Danzo had a hidden trick up his sleeve.
"Continue to investigate, and also inform Danzo not to mess around in the village during the war."
This is already a warning.
The Third Hokage believed that Danzo could understand what he meant.
“Does public opinion need to be controlled?”
The ANBU asked cautiously.
"unnecessary."
The Third Hokage pulled a face and snorted:
"I have a lot of things to deal with and don't have time to deal with these. As long as no one stirs up trouble, this matter will be over soon."
It is true that he was busy, and the Third Hokage needed to give Danzo a warning and also give Hatake Sakumo a small warning.
As long as no one continues to make trouble, this matter will be over soon.
After all, the war is still going on and everyone's attention will soon be diverted.
At worst, we can issue an announcement and spread some good news to cover up the matter of Hatake Sakumo.
What the three Hokage didn’t expect was that things can be turned over, but human hearts cannot.
Once a person's heart is broken, it will be extremely difficult to recover.
"Shameless old thing!!!"
Tsunade, who was busy in the logistics department, heard her subordinates talking about this matter and couldn't help but curse a few words.
Tsunade knew without any hesitation who did this; it was either Orochimaru or Danzo.
The possibility that it is Orochimaru is not high, it is definitely the old guy Danzo who is causing trouble.
As for why Danzo was reluctant to do such a thing, the answer was obvious: to pave the way for Orochimaru.
