At this point in time, the attention of most people in Konoha Village is still focused on the public opinion incident between Danzo and Orochimaru.
After all, they have invested a lot of energy in this matter before, and they have never encountered such an outrageous thing before.
I have to say that this thing is indeed very outrageous.
After all, Danzo is a very powerful person in Konoha Village. He is the boss of the ANBU and is in charge of the root. Looking at the entire Konoha Village, his power position can be said to be less than one person and more than ten thousand people, even for many families. They all need to please him.
Orochimaru is a disciple of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, and one of the Three Ninjas of Konoha Village. He has great prestige in Konoha Village and even the entire ninja world, and it is difficult for ordinary people to shake his status.
Looking at such two people in Konoha Village, it can be said that they occupy a very high status and voice, and it is almost difficult for anyone to match them.
It is precisely because of this.
What these two people said has just attracted much attention.
If ordinary people talk about these things, there will definitely be many people who don't believe what happened this week.
After all, others do not have the authority of these two people.
These two people really have such a strong position in Konoha Village that everyone's first instinctive reaction is to believe whatever they say, and there will not be too much doubt about these two people.
Therefore.
After something like this happened in Konoha Village.
The entire ninja world has fallen into a state of madness.
Whether it was Konoha Village or other villages, they all believed what Danzo and Orochimaru said, and understood what the two of them had done and what they ultimately pointed to the Third Generation. This had become a scandal for the Third Generation and Konoha. Scandal in the village.
Look at these things.
The shady secrets in Konoha Village are far beyond the Chunin's imagination.
actually.
If you look at it from the perspective of other villages.
If those people were the top leaders of the village, then they would be able to understand what Danzo and Orochimaru said. After all, these things are all about making the village better and people are working hard.
Even the eradication of dissidents can be said to be consolidating the Hokage's rule and power.
These things actually depend on the angle from which they are viewed.
From the perspective of the top management of Konoha Village, what these people do is actually nothing in their hands, and they are even doing it, so there is no sense that Danzo and Orochimaru made any mistakes. , just feel that the last decision they should make is to speak out these things.
Speaking of these topics will cause trouble for the Hokage.
If it were them or the shadows of other villages, then they would definitely not want them to do such a thing, or their subordinates to do such a thing.
so…
In fact, what is different from their ideas is that it does not mean that you cannot do such things, but that you cannot let others know that you do such things.
Even if people in the village know something that the higher-ups may do, no one can know what the specific things are.
It’s like this at all times!
but.
If it were for ordinary people in these villages...
This kind of thing puts everyone in a very unbearable feeling.
Not only is it difficult to understand.
and.
Almost everyone was outraged.
After all, in their impressions and ideals, the village should live in harmony and have a place for everyone, rather than a place where people compete for power.
This is completely inconsistent with their ideas!
But.
Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes.
This is quite common.
It's just that ordinary people don't see these often.
So they have the hardest time understanding this kind of thing.
This is also normal.
After the incident between Danzo and Orochimaru had been fermented for a period of time, everyone in the ninja world knew about it. However, everyone had been thinking about it for a while and it all passed, and they no longer continued to be immersed in these things.
No matter how big a melon is, it has a time limit.
People can comment and chat freely while eating melon, but when the timeliness of the melon expires, everyone loses interest.
This is what happened to Danzo and Orochimaru.
At this point in time, no one is very interested in this matter. What everyone is thinking about is very simple other things, because in their opinion, this matter is almost over. .
When this incident was first exposed, it instantly swept through the entire Konoha Village and even the entire ninja world. People were amazed at what Danzo and Orochimaru had done, and even more amazed at the Third Hokage's response to these things. the default.
It is precisely because of these reasons that people's discussion instantly reached an extremely high level.
Everyone was not only discussing the third generation, but also the things that Danzo and Orochimaru said.
Those things that sounded bizarre but happened around them all got their answers at this moment.
For example, the case of corpses floating in rivers at that time.
Another example is the missing persons case in Konoha Village.
These cases were all explained in the mouths of Orochimaru and Danzo, and everyone successfully understood who did these old strange things.
This is not easy.
You must know that all kinds of bizarre incidents have been happening throughout the ninja world, including assassinations and disappearances, which are common, especially in war-torn times, when human lives are worthless and worthless.
After the incident happened, many people might go to investigate to find out what happened, but after the investigation, they found that there was no result, and in the end it was dropped.
Don’t do too many things like this!
Look at the entire ninja world.
Many things end up being fruitless.
There are still only a few cases that can be solved.
Most of them are unsolved cases, and people accept the ones that have no results.
after all.
The current ninja world does not have so many technological means of solving crimes, and there are too many things happening, and there is simply not enough ability to complete them.
Strength is not equal in the ninja world.
After many things happened, the instigator was so powerful that they had no way of peeking into their methods.
People in the ninja world are accustomed to this kind of thing and don't have much thought about it. However, precisely for this reason, when Orochimaru and Danzo told many things in the past, people suddenly felt a sense of decryption. , so the popularity of these topics continues to increase.
After people learned about these things, they began to discuss with each other, and the topic and heat continued to rise, eventually forming a whirlwind of public opinion. In this whirlwind of public opinion, people continued to pursue, and finally found many previous question marks. The answer also gave them an indescribable sense of accomplishment.
Through mutual discussions, people learned about what happened in Konoha Village recently, and the people who lived in Konoha Village also found answers to what they had experienced.
They had discussed many things before, and then guessed what the possible results would be. But now that the results have truly come to light, some people guessed it right, and some people guessed it wrong, which brought even more confusion. Lots of topicality and discussion among friends.
It is actually very difficult to create such a situation.
But it is precisely because of this that even after the popularity of this matter has lasted for half a month, it can still arouse the desire to discuss in people's hearts.
You must know that there was no new information about this matter for half a month, no response from the parties involved, and no follow-up progress. It was just that the matter at that time was over after the discussion, and Danzo and Orochimaru left. After leaving Konoha Village, there was no news at all, and the Third Hokage involved in this incident also chose to take the blame and resign without giving any explanation.
These things have caused the original whirlwind of public opinion to completely disappear after this point in time. There is no hope of continued progress, and things gradually seem to have reached an end.
The people of Konoha Village have some thoughts in their hearts. They know that when the fourth generation Hokage Namikaze Minato officially succeeds and becomes Hokage, all the previous things will come to an end. The chapter that belongs to the third generation will officially end, but will belong to the fourth generation. The glory of the era is about to begin.
This is a very normal feeling.
After all, people cannot stay immersed in the past, but have to look forward. At this point, people in the ninja world are actually more accepting than people in the real world, because they are facing death all the time. Anyone Family members may sacrifice at any time, and everyone is already prepared for this, even the children who are attending ninja schools.
In the ninja world, pain is always present, so people have learned to keep the pain in their hearts and continue to move forward. Only in this way can they better welcome a better future.
otherwise.
Once immersed in pain.
Then everything will change.
It's very likely that a lot of bad things will happen.
If we can turn over the past events, this is actually a very open-minded manifestation.
At least.
The vast majority of people can still do it.
Only a few extreme beings will always be immersed in pain and bring pain into their lives, allowing these pains to affect their lives and eventually go astray.
Originally, this matter was about to turn over, and people were already ready to welcome the arrival of the fourth generation Hokage of Konoha Village.
For the people of Konoha Village, it is actually not easy to catch up with the change of Hokage.
The average lifespan of a ninja is very short.
Like a brilliant shooting star burning across the sky, it burst into brilliant light and quickly disappeared into the darkness.
Many ninjas did not live long enough.
Often in their memories, they faced a Hokage from the time they were born, and they still faced the same Hokage from the time they left the world.
Being able to experience the change of Hokage in a short period of time is also a very fresh thing for them.
People often have an expectation for new things and imagine everything to be very beautiful in their hearts. Especially when the reality is already messy, they look forward to new things even more.
Originally, when the Third Ninja War was going on, there were many voices in Konoha Village looking forward to the replacement of Hokage. After all, the third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, had been here for a long time, and everyone was looking forward to the arrival of a new Hokage. Take his place and lead Konoha Village to a more glorious tomorrow.
Konoha Village is no longer the status it once was. It no longer has a nearly dominant position in the ninja world. During the Third Ninja World War, it was in a state of insecurity.
This caused strong dissatisfaction among many people and families in Konoha Village.
Originally, they had hoped that there would be a change of Hokage, allowing someone more powerful to lead them forward.
It's just that they had many candidates in mind at the time, but they were not completely sure which one they were, so there was no such voice, and they had no way to stir up the rhythm. After all, it was still when the third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen was in power. If they rashly say that they want to change Hokage and propose an accurate name, it is likely to cause the third generation to retaliate, and even others may think that they may have some special relationship with the nominated new Hokage.
Therefore, people have always had some expectations for the replacement of Hokage, but at the same time there are many taboos and there is no way to execute it as they wish.
After all, people can't help themselves in the world, and no one can express their feelings clearly. In such a relationship, they can only place their hopes on the third ninja world. What drastic changes happened during the war, so that they could have a reason to push a new Hokage up.
In fact, at that time, Hatake Sakumo had become the best choice in many people's hearts.
Hatake Sakumo frequently performed extraordinary feats during the Second Ninja War. At that time, he was awarded the Hankage Hokage robe. His status in the Leaf Village was extremely high, second only to the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.
In their hearts...
After the Second Ninja War, the replacement of Hokage could be completed. At that time, Hatake Sakumo already had the abilities and qualifications of Hokage, and even now they are far above the third generation.
It was just because of the half-sleeved Hokage robe that Hatake Sakumo enjoyed a certain degree of praise, but it also caused him to lose his achievements that were enough to impact the Hokage. Between the gains and losses, everyone gradually discovered that the losses actually outweighed the gains.
But with the outbreak of the Third Ninja War, there was a precedent of those Anbu ninjas dying on the battlefield, and people's dissatisfaction with the third generation once again reached a limit. At this time, whoever can make contributions will eventually become Konoha. The most popular candidate for the new generation of Hokage in the village.
So much so that at this point in time, after people think of what happened at that time, they still feel that the person most likely to be the key to all this is Konoha White Fang Hatake Sakumoge.
Especially at…
When the subsequent Konoha Village ninja army went to the battlefield, Hatake Sakumo also served as the commander.
If nothing unexpected happens, Hatake Sakumo will receive this huge achievement. This is also the answer that everyone thinks of.
Therefore, the top management of Konohagakure focused all events on Hatake Sakumo. They hoped that Hatake Sakumo could make great achievements in the Third Ninja War and wait until the war started again. , they will support Hatake Sakumo to become the Fourth Hokage of Konoha Village.
During this period of time, people's favorite candidate for Hokage was Hatake Sakumo. They didn't see any other hope at all. But when they received the information that the frontline troops were retreating steadily, everyone's thoughts were Very low.
This is no longer just a matter of the position of Hokage of Konoha Village.
This even involves how Konoha Village should develop in the future.
After all, once the Third Ninja World War is in a losing position, Konoha Village will be the loser and will have to pay a lot of compensation, and will be continuously squeezed by other villages. This may not necessarily be the case. When can I recover again
This kind of failure is very painful!
Make it unacceptable for them!
This can be said to make it impossible for anyone in Konoha Village to accept such a status quo, which will completely make them fall out of their comfortable environment and become a being bullied at will by other villages.
It is precisely for this reason that many senior officials in Konoha Village and people from major families in the village were in a state of panic after hearing such things.
At that time, what they want is not to change the historical process of Konoha Village, not to study the replacement of Hokage, but to achieve the current stage of victory so that it can be preserved in the Third Ninja War. Come down.
This is a very difficult thing!
after all.
For now.
Konoha Village is still at a disadvantage.
They are no match for the ninja army of Iwagakure Village.
Plus…
The ninjas in Yunyin Village are still in a wait-and-see state, and have not taken any action at all. They may attack them at a disadvantage at any time.
on the other hand.
Sunagakure Village, which is very close to Konoha Village, has not made any other moves, which can be said to be very fatal.
For these reasons.
The top management of Konoha Village are no longer thinking about these simple things. What they hope more is that Konoha Village can survive the current crisis safely and truly put themselves in a safe relationship.
They long for a hero to appear!
That hero is who they always had in mind.
Konoha's white teeth, Hatake Sakuma's.
But…
However, Hatake Sakumo did not step up at this time, still failed to stand up successfully, and failed to complete a reversal of the situation. This is what they feel very regretful in their hearts.
The situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly. They were unable to react to the many changes and felt a little unprepared. Especially the senior officials of Konoha Village were very passive in these things. They could only pin their hopes on On the frontline battlefield, there is no way at all.
Of course, if they are allowed to participate in the battle in person, they will not be able to achieve a staged victory, because they do not have such ability. Now they can only entrust their fate to the hands of others. At that time point, , it is a very unbearable suffering for anyone.
Not surprisingly…
Konoha White Fang Hatake Sakumo did not stand up amidst their expectations.
Konoha Village is still in a state of retreat on the battlefield.
Although there was no news of defeat.
But because of the constant and repeated pulling of that kind of battle situation, everyone in their hearts knew that Konoha Village was actually at a disadvantage, and it was only a matter of time before the final defeat, and this time was already very close.
It is because of these reasons that the top management of Konoha Village and the people of the major families feel even more panicked. They know that if Konoha Village really fails, everything will be over. becomes more troublesome.
This is something they don't want to see at all, and it's something they don't want to happen, but it is happening and it is foreseeable.
However.
At this point in time.
Konoha Village has ushered in a new turn of events.
That young genius.
It is called the existence of yellow flash by the ninjas of Iwagakure Village.
He suddenly appeared on the battlefield at the most critical moment, and then turned the entire battle situation around in one fell swoop.
This boy's name is Namikaze Minato!
In an instant, it spread throughout the ninja world and resounded throughout Konoha Village, making all the senior family members in the village know this name, and a new hope was rekindled.
In their hearts, although this achievement did not fall on Hatake Sakumo, it did fall on Namikaze Minato. In their opinion, Namikaze Minato is indeed more suitable to become the fourth person than Hatake Sakumo. The newest candidate for Daime Hokage.
After having such a thing.
Everything went smoother and simpler.
Almost every high-level executive in Konoha Village knows that they are more inclined towards Namikaze Minato in their hearts, who can become the new generation of Konoha Village, and then break the current situation of Konoha Village again and start everything over. .
restart.
This is still very important.
After all, in the minds of many people, the current Konoha Village feels very rotten, as if everything has a lot of dirt on it. If everything is not washed away, there will be no way to reappear with new glory.
As the saying goes, if you don't break, you don't build. If you break, you will build. What people are more looking forward to is that Konoha Village will show a new look and color after the change of Hokage.
This is how Namikaze Minato came about, and now he has a very loud voice.
actually.
At that time, all the families were thinking of taking this opportunity to push Namikaze Minato forward.
The accident happened again.
Danzo and Orochimaru broke the news together.
He directly poured a basin of dirty water on the third generation.
The third generation took the blame and resigned.
These things were unexpected by them, but they actually happened. They all accumulated in this issue, directly leading to Namikaze Minato's natural change of becoming Hokage.
But.
Just when these people thought this change was over.
Now the trend of public opinion has begun to return here again.
It became that everything Orochimaru and Danzo did was done by the roots.
Such a change made them feel indescribable melancholy in their hearts. It seemed that they had already met the third generation, and they might not be able to give up the position of Hokage so smoothly if they had to do something again.
after all.
Except for three generations.
They don't think anyone would make such a move!
