Chapter 167 Rumors Spread
"Nakajima, why are you so kind to invite us to drink today?"

"That's right, didn't I hear that you, as the guard of the third generation, accompanied him to the Land of Rain to participate in the five shadows meeting? Why are you still in the village?"

"By the way, you guy, you probably made some unforgivable mistake, and you were kicked back by the three generations of adults, right?"

In a certain izakaya, several ninjas wearing forgiving vests sat around a table, teasing their friends with wine glasses.

Judging by their rosy faces and the empty wine bottles on the table, it was obvious that they had drunk a lot.

The ninja named Nakajima was the messenger ninja who had been hypnotized by Uchiha Kaizuki before. After delivering the order to Kakashi, Nakajima immediately called his friends and came to the izakaya to drink.

Even he himself didn't know why he wanted to invite someone to drink, but after saying goodbye to Kakashi, a strong impulse suddenly surged in his heart, and he couldn't suppress it no matter what.

"Don't talk nonsense! I was ordered by the three generations of adults to rush back to deliver the message."

"According to the speed of your journey, you should have not arrived at the venue, right? Why did the three generations of adults send you back in a hurry?" one person asked.

"If it's not confidential information, just say it."

Nakajima gulped down the wine in his glass, and explained: "Two days ago, the leader of the original Genbu, Shimura Danzo, sent people to assassinate the third generation of adults, and the assassin was temporarily repelled. No, the third generation of adults asked me to go as fast as possible Come back and inform Kakashi to arrest Danzo..."

"What? Assassination?"

"Isn't it a lie? It is said that Danzo once served as the assistant of Hokage for a long time, and has a very good relationship with the third generation of adults. How could he send someone to assassinate the third generation of adults?"

"Yes! When Danzo was young, he and the third generation were teammates in the same team. Later, both of them served as the second generation's target guards. I would never believe in assassination or something!"

The noisy voice of people at the table immediately attracted the attention of other guests. Nakajima put the wine glass on the table and said mysteriously: "You may not know it, this is not the first time that Danzo has assassinated the third generation. My lord!"

"Not long after the demon fox rebellion eight years ago, the third-generation lord went to the Daming Mansion, preparing to report his daimyo, and succeed him again as Hokage. In order to prevent the third-generation lord from ascending to the throne, Danzo sent root ninjas to assassinate him..."

"...Including that assassination, this is already the second time!"

"Ah?" "God!" "Are you kidding..."

"Why does Danzo repeatedly assassinate the three generations of adults? There must be a reason?"

Everyone was stunned, their consciousness was already blurred by Nakajima's words.

"Of course it was for him to be Hokage! That guy Danzo thought that it would be his turn after the death of the fourth generation, but he didn't expect that the third generation would come out of the mountain again and take the position of Hokage for the second time, so there would be a later assassination... ..."

"Damn it! Unexpectedly, there is such an insidious and evil guy hidden in the village. Why didn't the third generation master deal with him earlier?"

"Who knows, maybe it's because the three generations of adults care about the old love."

Similar conversations are not limited to Nakajima. At the same time, many restaurants and bars in the village are discussing this matter. There is no doubt that one of those ninjas has been hypnotized by Uchiha Kaizuki, and they are also promoting this protagonist of the matter.

What kind of news travels the fastest?
The answer is gossip!
In the beginning, the news of Danzo's assassination of the third Hokage was only circulated among ninjas, and it was far from becoming a trend. But within a few days, the news spread ten or ten times, and spread faster and wider. The aunts and aunts who went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables stopped talking about trivial matters in life after meeting, and they all talked about this amazing assassination case.

What is Zhongkou Shuojin?What is accumulating and destroying bones?
Undoubtedly, with Uchiha Kaigetsu's secret push, Shimura Danzo's reputation has completely stigmatized the street, and even the former root ninja's heart has been shaken a lot.

In the past, Danzo told them more than once that we are the roots buried under the ground, the darkness of the leaves, and everything we do, no matter how shady and dirty, is for the prosperity of the village and for the prosperity of those who bathe. Companions in the sun grow better.

But... Was the assassination of the Third Hokage really for the sake of the village?

In the Konoha interrogation room, Danzo Shimura sat quietly on a chair, his upper body and the back of the chair leaning behind him were tightly bound together by iron chains.

Morino Ibiki, who was in charge of the torture department, did not receive the order to interrogate Danzo, so he was only imprisoned and put under strict surveillance until Hiruzaru Sarutobi returned.

Squeak!

The door of the interrogation room was opened a crack from the outside, and a masked Anbu ninja came in with food, closed the door gently, walked up to Shimura Danzo, and said in a low voice, "Master Danzo, are you okay? "

Danzo opened his eyes and glanced sideways at the person who came. He was dressed in standard Anbu's attire. From the outside, he couldn't tell who the person was, but from the sound, it seemed to be a former subordinate, Shan Zhongfeng.

"Is it the wind?"

"It's me, Danzo-sama, I have something to report to you."

Shan Zhongfeng put the food on the ground next to him, and continued: "Since Master Danzo was imprisoned, some rumors suddenly spread in the village in the past few days, saying that Master Danzo secretly sent people to lie in ambush in the third generation to go to the Land of Rain Assassinate him on the way, and the third generation will order Kakashi to arrest you after knowing the truth..."

"Is there such a thing?" Danzo was surprised and asked in surprise.

"Yes, almost the whole village is spreading this matter now. The rumors are very unfavorable to Danzo-sama. At present, many ninjas have approached a few advisors, saying that they will deal with you seriously and cannot be tolerated any longer..."

Danzo suddenly understood, let me just say, the attitude of the ninja who delivered food to him these days has become more and more bad, looking at himself is like looking at his father and enemy, and he thought he was really that guy's father and enemy , it turned out not to be!
It's a pity, why didn't they get rid of the little bastard's parents back then, he was stared at for a few days in vain.

Hey hey!wrong!What time is it, how can I think about these messy things.

Danzo calmed down, and asked again, "Has the rumor that popped up suddenly been verified, that someone really assassinated the third generation?"

"The news is true!"

Yamanakakaze nodded affirmatively, "Before I came, I personally asked the ninja who came back for interrogation. He said that the assassination came extremely suddenly, and the guards were not prepared enough. They were beaten to pieces under contact. Fortunately, the third generation took action in time. , defeated the assassin..."

Danzo narrowed his eyes, completely understanding the cause and effect of the matter.

What is certain is that there was a guy behind the scenes who wanted to engage in Hiruzaru Sarutobi, but the assassination failed, so he took the opportunity to throw the blame on himself... Or in other words, the original purpose of the person who engaged in Hiruzawa was to set blame on himself!
It's just that he has too many enemies, and he can't think of who is doing things secretly for a while.

"Did you find out the identity of the attacker?" Danzo asked.

Right now, he urgently needs to find out the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes, and then clarify the misunderstanding with Sarutobi Hiruzen as quickly as possible, and then slowly deal with that damned bastard after this turmoil passes.

Shan Zhongfeng shook his head, "The assassin was wearing a mask at the time, so he couldn't tell his identity."

"That's right, if that's the case, Feng, go to the Land of Rain to meet Ri Zhan for me, and tell him that I was wronged... No! Now Ri Zhan is angry, the more he says that, the more he doesn't believe it. "

Danzo thought for a while, and said again: "Feng, you take the mission record of the root ninja recently, and give it to Ri Zhan. I believe that after reading the mission record, he will understand that the assassination incident has nothing to do with me."

"Yes!"

Shan Zhongfeng responded and quickly left the interrogation room.
