At dawn, the entire Konoha was shrouded in a thick fog, and light rain fell from the sky. Coupled with the dense forest around Konoha, the humidity became more and more intense, and the air was filled with thin moisture everywhere.

It feels like you are in a mist ninja village.

At this time, Nobunaga had no time to care about this. He dragged his tired body back to the Iga clan's old house and almost fell asleep, not even doing the normal foraging after training. In addition to the three days of teaching Nobunaga's assassination knowledge, plus the two days of teaching the secrets, the total of five consecutive days of high-intensity study was too much for his physical fitness.

He stayed awake for five days and five nights, which meant that the physique of the ninja was different from that of ordinary people. A normal person would probably be on his knees.

It's simply heartbreaking.

Nobunaga has indeed benefited a lot from these days of study. Although there is no dramatic improvement in strength, as long as he digests and converts the knowledge taught by Sakumo into his own things, then his strength will undergo a significant transformation. .

However, Nobunaga vaguely felt that Mr. Sakumo was a little too anxious this time.

Many things could obviously be taught slowly in the future, but now they were all taught to me in one go.

It seems like he wants to give himself all his knowledge and experience.

But Sakumo didn't say it clearly before, and Nobunaga didn't ask. Later, he was so absorbed in studying that he forgot about this matter.

Probably the teacher will be going out to perform some long-term tasks in a while and will not be able to guide him for a long time, so he is so anxious.

Just as he was thinking this, Nobunaga fell into a deep sleep in a daze.

Nobunaga had not even left the front door of Hatake's house in the past five days. Naturally, he did not know that a terrible storm was brewing in Konoha Village in the past few days.

And at the center of this storm is Hatake Sakumo.

Five days ago, at the gate of Hatake Mansion, several ninjas, led by Tsuruta Juzo, spread the news that Konoha's White Fang mission failed and caused heavy losses to Konoha.

Except that Nobunaga was very angry, Sakumo didn't take it to heart at the time. He just thought that his opponent wanted to throw some dirty water on him and slander the Hatake family's reputation.

The world is like this, you are not money, not everyone likes you. Even if a strong man like Hatake Sakumo was dedicated to Konoha, some people would still look down upon him.

This is normal.

His previous mission was indeed a failure. After all, it was a conspiracy set up against him. There was no top-secret document and it was impossible to complete it from the beginning.

After returning to Konoha, he immediately reported the situation to the Third Generation.

To be honest, failing a mission is not a big deal in the ninja world.

It can even be said to be a trivial matter. Isn't there a rumor circulating in the ninja world that abandoning a mission when encountering the 'Konoha White Fang' can not be regarded as a mission failure?

It is enough to show that a mission failure is indeed a trivial matter.

Even if it is an S-level mission.

Sakumo had no intention of hiding the mission failure from the beginning.

Although Hatake Sakumo has maintained a % mission completion rate before.

The worst case scenario is that the title of % completion rate will be removed.

For Sakumo, it's just less missions and less mission commissions. Life goes on as usual, and this little thing will fade away soon.

Just like that day at the entrance of Hatake's old house, most of the villagers just responded as if they were watching a good show.

What was unexpected was that this rumor did not disappear. Instead, it spread throughout Konoha at an incredible speed, and was widely circulated among the villagers of Konoha, even spawning countless versions.

Rumors stop among wise men, but not everyone is a wise man, or do wise men choose to keep their mouths shut?

If human beings are just one person, they will be extremely shrewd. But if they develop into a group, as long as one person chooses to believe in it, the remaining people will follow suit one after another. Everyone will believe it.

Three people become tigers, this is the so-called herd mentality, or the mentality of obscuring the people.

There are only a few sober people, and there are no wise men among the ignorant people. However, the wise men in the big families who can see through this rumor have collectively chosen to keep their mouths shut.

In just three days, with the help of thoughtful people, public opinion in Konoha was developing in a very extreme direction. Hatake Sakumo's reputation has almost reached the point where everyone calls him a street rat.

Then the fourth day...the fifth day...and now the sixth day...

Deterioration, fermentation... terrible chemical reactions took place... forming a series of unimaginable chain effects.

"A butterfly in the Amazon rainforest in South America, flapping its wings occasionally, can cause a tornado in Texas two weeks later." ’

In less than a week, it seemed as if Sakumo Hatake had done something heinous and outrageous, and the reputation of the Hatake clan had become notorious among the villagers of Konoha. This is true even among some genin and chuunin who don't understand what they heard.

The rumor eventually evolved into the fact that because of the failure of Hatake Sakumo's mission, Konoha suffered heavy losses and its development was set back twenty years, so that it was in danger of being annexed and destroyed by other ninja villages at any time.

This is a joke that no one with the slightest bit of brain would believe.

Will the failure of an S-class mission drag Konoha into an abyss of eternal destruction? Then this kind of ninja village may not need to be invaded by other villages at all, and it will self-destruct in a short time.

However, those ignorant Konoha villagers took it seriously. For a time, everyone was in danger, and excessive fear indirectly led to madness. They put all the blame on Hatake Sakumo, thinking that he was the cause of the disaster.

Terrible!

What makes people feel ridiculous is that Hatake Sakumo himself had no idea that he had committed such a big 'sin'.

...That's what the so-called trumped-up charges are...

They wanted the 'sinner' Hatake Sakumo who caused the disaster to get the 'punishment' he deserved, but they did not dare to break into the Hatake mansion without permission. They were afraid of Hatake Sakumo as a ninja and the intimidation of Konoha White Fang. .

So, they changed their direction and organized themselves to protest against the Hokage...

They didn't even know what mission Sakumo Hatake carried out, what happened in the middle, and why he failed. They just listen to what others say as ‘facts’ and hold high the big stick of so-called ‘justice’ to knock down the ‘sinners’ in their eyes.

They firmly believe in their ‘justice’!

Disgusting ‘justice’!

As for what the real truth is, who cares. People only want to see the truth they want to see.

Public opinion makes gold, but accumulation destroys bones!
