Chapter 343
Chapter 343
It was very easy for Danzo to ruin a person's reputation.
Although the Root was gone and all the people in the open were imprisoned, there were still people from Danzo hiding in other departments of Konoha.
It was like the Anbu that had been sieved through.
"Yes, sir."
The ninjas from the Anbu left obediently.
Looking at the sunset in the sky, Danzo said in a grim tone:
"The war has lasted for nearly two months, and it's time to start the plan."
The next morning, some rumors about Hatake Sakumo appeared in the village.
The content of the rumor was that he assassinated the Third Mizukage on his own initiative, which led to the outbreak of war between Konoha and the Mist Village, causing heavy losses to the village, countless ninjas died on the battlefield, and a large number of families broke up.
The villagers knew that the reason why the Mist Village went to war with Konoha was because of Hatake Sakumo.
As for the specific content, they didn't know anything.
Danzo ordered people to spread the news and added some materials to it.
Push public opinion to those families whose families were broken up because of the war.
The villagers whose relatives died in the war and lost their relatives were all in grief, and the rumors spread by Danzo began to ferment at this time.
Coupled with deliberate guidance, Hatake Sakumo became the culprit of the war.
"No way, how could Lord Hatake Sakumo do such a thing?"
"This is true. It is said that his mission is to spy on intelligence, but while he was spying on intelligence, he also sneaked into the Mizukage office building and assassinated the Third Mizukage, which led to the outbreak of the war."
"No wonder the Mist Village is holding on to him and must hand over Hatake Sakumo."
"If the Hokage was assassinated, we would be very angry too."
The villagers began to discuss, and the wind direction began to change as time went by.
Some people began to blame Hatake Sakumo, thinking that everything was his fault. If he hadn't assassinated the Third Mizukage on his own initiative, there would be no war.
Hatake Sakumo should also be held 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.
Some even went to the territory of the Hatake clan to make 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, don't talk nonsense."
Hatake Sakumo forced a smile and comforted his angry son. He was afraid that his son would do something impulsive because of these public opinions.
It would be difficult to end it at that time.
It had been so long, and it suddenly broke out. Everything was developing in the direction of discrediting him. This was something Hatake Sakumo had not expected.
Fortunately, he did not have extreme ideas.
Because he did not assassinate the Third Mizukage.
He was just trying to spy on intelligence and never thought that he would run into the Third Mizukage in the toilet.
The attack was also for safe evacuation, not to kill the Third Mizukage.
"Be good, go to training, you will soon enter the ninja school, you can't let your father down."
Because he has a clear conscience, Hatake Sakumo naturally has no extreme thoughts.
In addition, the exclusion happened not long ago, Hatake Sakumo is not a fool, and naturally knows that someone deliberately brought up the past to discredit him and make his reputation bad.
In order to cut off his possibility of becoming a candidate for Hokage.
"Is it Orochimaru? Or Danzo?"
Looking at the Hokage half-sleeved battle robe hanging on the wall, which he regarded as an honor, Hatake Sakumo laughed self-deprecatingly.
At this moment, he felt very tired and very chilled.
In the past, he did not quite understand why Chitsuki had such a bad relationship with the senior management.
He was unwilling to go to the Hokage office to connect tasks and submit tasks.
He would rather queue up in the task department and would not salute when he saw the senior management.
"Maybe I really should take a break?"
Thinking back on Chitsuki's growth experience, Hatake Sakumo felt that he could really retire and take a break.
Looking at his son who was training with a rage, Hatake Sakumo suddenly felt that retirement might be a good choice.
At least he could spend a lot of time with Kakashi as he grew up.
"Where did the news come from?"
After the Third Hokage learned this, a series of question marks appeared above his head.
Is this a smoke bomb released by the enemy?
No, if the enemy really has the ability to control the public opinion of Konoha, do they still need to fight with Konoha?
"The source of the news has not been found, and it has 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?
It's too immoral.
The village is at war, and these are spread.News.
Once it gets out of hand, the consequences will be serious, and it may affect the morale of the frontline troops and the operations on the frontline.
Could it be Danzo?
The third Hokage's eyelids twitched twice.
It is unlikely that he is a spy, and the people in the Anbu have not found out the problem.
In addition, who would target Hatake Sakumo? The third Hokage used the method of elimination and quickly locked Danzo and Orochimaru.
Orochimaru was commanding the operations on the front line, and it was unlikely that he did it, although he had a great motive.
But the third Hokage believed that Orochimaru would not do such a thing. He thought he knew his disciples, so he ruled out Orochimaru.
Excluding Orochimaru, the remaining suspect is Danzo.
If it was Danzo, how did he do it?
The people of the Root were imprisoned, and the people of the Shimura clan did not dare to contact Danzo easily.
Then the question is, who is helping Danzo do these things?
When he thought that Danzo still had a backhand hidden, the old face of the third Hokage darkened.
"Keep investigating, and notify Danzo that during the war, don't mess around in the village."
This is already a warning.
The Third Hokage believed that Danzo could understand what he meant.
"Does public opinion need to be controlled?"
The man from the Anbu asked cautiously.
"No."
The Third Hokage pulled a face and snorted:
"I still have a lot of things to deal with, and I don't have time to care about these. As long as no one adds fuel to the flames, this matter will soon be over."
It's true that he's busy, and the Third Hokage needs to give Danzo a warning and give Hatake Sakumo a small warning.
As long as no one continues to make trouble, this kind of thing will soon be over.
After all, the war is still going on, and everyone's attention will soon be diverted.
At most, a notice will be issued to spread some good news, and Hatake Sakumo's matter can be covered up.
But what the Third Hokage didn't expect is that things can be over, but people's hearts can't.
Once a person's heart is hurt, 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 didn't need to think about who did this, it was either Orochimaru or Danzo.
It's unlikely that it was Orochimaru, it must be the old guy Danzo who was causing trouble.
As for why Danzo was not very good at doing this kind of thing, the answer is obvious, to pave the way for Orochimaru.
