Naruto: The dungeon I developed went viral throughout the entire ninja world.

Chapter 33 Execution within a Painting: Roy's Ultimate Move

The sky above shook again.

The huge light screen did not turn off after the live broadcast ended; it remained suspended there.

Roy activated the system's picture-in-picture real-time comparison feature.

Just as Hiruzen Sarutobi was passionately recounting how he protected Naruto, a small window suddenly popped up in the lower right corner of the screen.

The scene is silent, yet it is highly ironic.

It shows a scene of three-year-old Naruto rummaging through a trash can for food, accompanied by subtitles of Hiruzen Sarutobi's lines at that moment.

"Let him grow up as an ordinary person; at least his life won't be in danger."

Immediately afterwards, the scene shifts to Naruto being pushed to the ground by villagers, blood streaming from his forehead, with the caption:

"This is a disguise, and also a necessary sacrifice."

This real-time execution, where words and actions contradicted each other, instantly made the villagers, who were just about to forgive the Hokage, feel nauseous.

Roy watched the villagers' anger reignite and took a satisfied sip of his soda.

"That's more like it. How can you welcome the big gift if you're not in the right emotional state?"

For the Third Hokage, misfortune struck again, and just then, the screen switched.

The text, highlighted in bold and illuminated with lightning, is a signal from the distant Hidden Cloud Village.

At this moment, through Roy's system, it traversed thousands of miles and was projected directly into the sky above Konoha.

[Kumakushi Village - Fourth Raikage A]

"Hiruzen Sarutobi, stop talking nonsense!"

It's a bit crude, but it's direct and easy to understand, without any diplomatic embellishment.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's already anxious heart became even more tense, as Roy's earlier words had left him feeling completely lost.

This was a direct confrontation with an enemy village, and he was genuinely nervous, resulting in a double kill.

"Protection? You call this protection?"

"Is our Kumogakure's intelligence department just sitting around doing nothing?"

The text scrolled by very quickly, revealing the sender's irritable nature.

"That blond brat, and the sealing technique."

"Anyone who isn't blind can see that it's Minato Namikaze's offspring."

"We knew seven years ago!"

"Do you think we're all fools? I may have a short temper, but I'm not brain-dead. Besides, everyone in the ninja world knows this!"

"We didn't make a move because the strong have their bottom line! I wouldn't stoop to killing a nursing infant!"

"Are you hiding your loneliness?"

The entire audience erupted in uproar.

The villagers stared wide-eyed.

The Hidden Cloud Village already knew? The enemy nation already knew?

The idea that one conceals their background to prevent assassination is just a huge joke.

Before everyone could even process this information, another comment appeared on the screen.

The font is tan.

【Iwagakure Village - Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki】

"really."

"Although I am old, I am not senile."

"When Minato died, I guessed that the Jinchuriki would be his child."

"The physique of the Uzumaki clan, combined with Minato's bloodline, makes them the best vessel to seal the Nine-Tails."

"This kind of thing is no secret at the high-level meetings of the major ninja villages."

Onoki's words delivered the final blow.

"Hiruzen Sarutobi, you can fool the idiots in your village all you want."

"Trying to fool the entire ninja world with such a reason?"

"I think you're just doing this to make it easier for you to control the jinchūriki!"

"Tread the son of a hero into the mud, make him deserted by everyone, and make him only able to rely on you, the Hokage."

"Is this your imperial strategy?"

"Hahaha!"

The last three words.

It was full of mockery and contempt.

A mockery from the enemy's shadow is more deadly than any accusation.

Roy's eyes nearly lit up as he read Lei Ying Ai's furious words.

"Well said. This kind of excellent mouth double deserves a reward."

He pressed the Enter key.

[Announcement: A, the Fourth Raikage of Kumogakure, has revealed the truth and will be rewarded with a High-Level Dungeon Trial Ticket!]

[Announcement: This comment has been pinned to the top and will be played three times in a loop throughout the entire ninja world!]

This move was not only an insult to Hiruzen Sarutobi, but also a signal to the entire ninja world.

As long as you dare to trespass on Konoha, I will reward you.

Sure enough, upon seeing the reward notification, Onoki, who had been observing, immediately followed up and made the same sarcastic remark about the emperor's mind.

Roy watched the negative sentiment value in the background rise like a stock market manipulator watching a stock market crash—cold and greedy.

"Even a shadow is nothing more than a pawn on my chessboard."

On the rooftop of the Hokage Building.

As Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at those words, he felt his vision go black and he almost coughed up blood again.

Are these enemy ninja villages really going to take your illness and kill you without giving you any face or leeway?!

The lie was exposed, and to make matters worse, it was exposed by the person I least wanted to see.

The Raikage and the Tsuchikage, these two old rivals, joined forces to push him into the abyss at this most crucial moment.

"No……"

Hiruzen Sarutobi wanted to refute, but after thinking it over, he couldn't find a reason.

If the enemy country already knew, then what was the purpose of his seven years of concealment and seven years of torture?

Was it really just to control Naruto? Was it to keep the Jinchuriki under his control?

He seemed unable to convince even himself, because the answer was yes.

But you absolutely cannot tell the villagers this answer.

After a moment of silence, the square erupted in an even more intense fury than before.

"fraud!"

"You big liar!"

A young man picked up some rotten vegetable leaves from the ground and threw them onto the rooftop with all his might.

"Even Kumogakure and Iwagakure know!"

"The entire ninja world knows! Only we don't!"

"They're really treating us like fools, and they're keeping it from their own people!"

The feeling of being treated like a fool drove everyone to lose their temper.

They recalled how, for the past seven years, they had acted like clowns, shouting and threatening to kill the hero's son.

I was moved to tears by the Third Hokage's plight.

It was all an act, full of scheming.

"They even made us bully Naruto, and even made us their accomplices!"

"Hiruzen Sarutobi! You have no morals or conscience! Has your conscience really been eaten by dogs?!"

A rotten egg flew through the air and hit Hiruzen Sarutobi's divine robe.

After the egg yolk exploded, the foul-smelling liquid flowed down the white robe, instantly turning the "fire" character, representing the glory of the Hokage, into something filthy.

Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't dodge; he just stared blankly at the stain on his chest.

This was the first time in his decades as Hokage that he had been pelted with rotten eggs.

He used to be a beloved Hokage, receiving flowers and applause wherever he went.

Now, he has become a pariah.

"Get out!"

"Step down!"

"You're not fit to be Hokage!"

More things flew up, rotten tomatoes, shoes... raining down on the rooftop.

The secret agents panicked and immediately tried to step forward to stop them.

"Don't move!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi stopped them.

The Third Hokage was well aware of the current situation; at this point, it was either impossible to stop them or completely unnecessary.

You can hold back the stones, but you can't win back the people's hearts. You can hold out for today, but you won't make it to tomorrow.

The era of Ren Xiong was an era in which the balance was maintained through brainwashing with the Will of Fire and dark methods.

Today, it has come to a complete end.

Hiruzen Sarutobi swayed, barely managing to hold onto the railing.

He looked towards the distant Hokage Rock, where the Fourth Hokage's statue still watched over the village.

His eyes were resolute, as if questioning him: Lord Third Generation, is this the promise you made to me?

"Watergate..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's vision went black, and he fell backward.

This time, no ANBU could bolster his crumbling faith, and no one could support Konoha's shaky future.

The Third Hokage lay on the rooftop, covered in egg yolk and vegetable scraps, looking like a comical clown.

On the sky.

The taunts from the Raikage and Tsuchikage continued to roll.

[Raikage A] "He fainted already? This Third Hokage doesn't seem to be doing well either! His mental fortitude is too weak, isn't it?"

[Ōnoki] "Hahaha, I'm about to die laughing. I can't take it anymore. Konoha is about to change."

Inside the illusionary dojo, Roy stared at the screen.

"change of weather?"

Roy smiled.

"No! It's not over yet."

"Since the Hokage is about to fall..."

"Next, it was the rats' turn in the sewers."

Roy looked down into the ground beneath Konoha.

There was also a one-eyed old man there who dreamed of becoming Hokage. Although he probably didn't have much hope, the allure of power surpassed everything.

In the distance, there is a venomous snake plotting the infamous Konoha Crush.

"The show keeps going, I'm really looking forward to what's next, hahaha."
