Konoha's logic genius

The sky is high and the clouds are heavy, the trees are moving and the wind is blowing.

In Konoha Village, in one tavern after another, you can often hear civilians talking about Hatake Sakumo.

"It seems that our Lord White Fang of Konoha has failed in his mission."

"Really? What's the specific situation?"

"I don't know, but it is indeed a failure. This matter is being spread in many places."

"Oh, I didn't expect that a ninja like him would fail the mission."

"No, I heard that he seemed to have given up on the mission directly."

"Abandon the mission! Is it so serious? Then he did something wrong this time."

"Yes, yes."

Uzumaki Kiyoshi walked to the street. Even if he didn't open Kagura's eyes and his perception was fully activated, he could still hear the rumors spreading about Hatake Sakumo with just a pair of ears.

Uzumaki Qing didn't care too much, he only cared about who was behind this matter.

In fact, with Hatake Sakumo's status and strength, even if he really failed in his mission, because he was doing a confidential mission, his information would only be disclosed to a few people.

Moreover, if there is no one behind such large-scale rumors, Uzumaki Qing does not believe it.

In all likelihood, it has something to do with Konoha's so-called advisory group.

But the good thing now is that there are not many ninjas talking about it. This may be one of the long-term effects of killing Danzo.

If Shimura Danzo were still alive, facing a ninja like Hatake Sakumo whose reputation and strength were even greater than those of the Sannin, he would definitely be regarded as a strong contender for Hokage.

Danzo Shimura's desire for the position of Hokage is known to be obsessed to a certain extent.

"It's time to stop this farce."

Uzumaki Qing thought to himself.

Rumors are very light, but rumors are very heavy.

It's not like the ninja's shurikens, kunai and ninjutsu that hit the ninja's body. It hits deep in the ninja's heart and directly tortures the ninja's soul.

Especially, when facing a situation like Hatake Sakumo who was slandered by the Konoha villagers he protected.

It's not surprising to Uzumaki Kiyo what kind of things Hatake Sakumo does. After all, in the original work, Hatake Sakumo can even commit suicide to prove his will.

Thinking about it, Uzumaki Qing disappeared silently into the street.

His actions also began quietly.

......

"Father, there are so many people out there talking about you without knowing anything. It's really hateful!"

Young Kakashi Hatake said angrily.

He was very unhappy.

Hatake Sakumo touched Hatake Kakashi's head.

"Kakashi, don't think like this in the future."

"As ninjas of Konoha Village, we protect the villagers of Konoha Village."

"Most of the villagers have no malicious intentions. They are just being taken advantage of by others without realizing it."

Hatake Sakumo, he sees this matter very clearly.

The average person is neither kind nor evil. Most of them catch a wonderful stunt and can't help but tell it to their companions. They then spread the word to others, eventually causing a discussion that swept the whole village. .

It's not like Hatake Sakumo has never seen this kind of scene before.

Hatake Sakumo knew that the heat of this matter would subside within a day or two at most.

However, Hatake Sakumo was indeed a little disappointed.

Because he knew that if this matter could be passed down, it must have been with the acquiescence of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

......

"You two have gone too far."

In the Hokage conference room, Sarutobi Hiruzen slammed the table and said to Koharu and Mito Monen who were sleeping.

Sarutobi Hiruzen is now over fifty years old. He is ten years older than Uzumaki Kiyoshi when he first entered the ninja school, and his face shows more age.

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen's ambition has not been completely wiped out in the end. At this moment, he is facing tit-for-tat with Koharu and Mito Kaden.

"Hiruzen, we are here for your own good."

"No matter how good he is, Hatake Sakumo is still just an outsider."

"We don't do too much, we just lower his prestige slightly. In this way, no matter who among your three disciples succeeds you as Hokage, they will have greater confidence, right?"

Mito Kadoba said without changing his expression as he picked up the tea in front of him.

He knew Sarutobi Hiruzen's bottom line very well. Sarutobi Hiruzen would only turn his back completely in situations involving the safety of the village and the lives of his subordinates.

As for a simple loss of reputation like this, Sarutobi Hiruzen wouldn't care too much.

"It's up to you to decide how this matter goes."

"Anyway, once we have the few ninjas rescued by Hatake Sakumo in our hands and those few ninjas speak out, this matter can be completed in a day or two at most."

"It doesn't require you to do it, and it can weaken Hatake Sakumo very well, and it can also greatly increase the probability of your disciple becoming Hokage."

"That's how it is."

Mito Kaden looked directly into Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes and said calmly.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked into Mito Kadoyan's eyes and sighed after a long time.

"the last time."

"And you must stop within three days."

Sarutobi Hizan said.

After all, Hatake Sakumo was the ANBU minister he single-handedly promoted, and he didn't want to let Hatake Sakumo lose too much of his energy.

He still had feelings for Hatake Sakumo after all, so he proposed this three-day time limit.

"it is good."

Mito Kadenen smiled, as expected, as long as he grasps Sarutobi Hiruzen's weakness, he can successfully gain sovereignty.

After saying that, Mito Kadoyan left directly and left the Hokage conference room without any regrets.

Hiruzen Sarutobi stood up at this time, looking out from the glass of the Hokage conference room, looking at the prosperous Konoha Village, looking at the streets with heavy traffic, looking at the villagers with smiles on their faces, and felt in his heart Some mixed flavors.

He didn't believe that Hatake Sakumo would not react to this matter, because Hatake Sakumo was such a person who valued his dignity.

After all, Sarutobi Hiruzen was still seriously considering the fate of one of his generals, Hatake Sakumo.

Perhaps in the original work, although Sarutobi Hiruzen contributed to the flames, he may not have intended to force Hatake Sakumo to die.

The reason why Hatake Sakumo died in the end was probably because he was too loyal and loyal.

Not to mention Uzumaki Kiyoshi's current actions, two days later, there was another rumor among the villagers.

"I heard that Hatake Sakumo's companions are accusing him."

"Really? Sure enough, that kind of person is not worth keeping company with. He doesn't even get the respect of his friends."

"If he is not favored by his friends, his character must be bad. In this case, no matter how strong he is, he is not worthy of respect."

Uzumaki Qing passing by heard such rumors again and shook his head.

I guess this is the last resort of the mastermind behind the scenes.

So next...

He is going to close the net.
