Chapter 541 Rumor Escalation
Chapter 541 Rumor Escalation
Public opinion is always a terrible weapon.
At this time Kakashi realized this feeling.
There is no denying it.
The way the villagers look at Kakashi has become completely different from before.
It's really not that difficult to discredit a person.
Half-truths and half-false facts are enough to convince more people that this is the truth.
As for things like public opinion, those who speak up later will often suffer.
This is the reason for preconceptions.
Even though Tsunade has tried his best to eliminate the influence of this kind of speech, it cannot be completely eliminated in a short time.
What's more, the greater crisis in the village at this time lies in the hostility of the other four ninja villages.
Beiruhu's words put Konoha on the cusp of the storm.
Although the truth will come sooner or later, the truth that comes late will often cause great losses.
Some truths will even be lost forever in the torrent of history.
Just like the death of White Fang back then.
White Fang had a great reputation, and he was notorious because of rumors.
Until his death, not many people justified his name.
At this time, among the roots, Yiban knelt in front of Danzo.
Danzang said, "B, how's the situation?"
"Reporting to Mr. Danzo, the rumors about Kakashi have been spreading since yesterday, and now they have all been spread, and the effect is good. Among the common people, most of them have doubts about Kakashi, and a small half of them are suspicious of Kakashi. Cassie has a feeling of complaining. It's just that the effect among the ninjas is not so ideal."
"Okay, it's enough to achieve this effect. Has the daimyo sent someone to summon Tsunade? Has she left Konoha?"
"Yes! The daimyo-sama has just summoned Hokage-sama, and he is already on his way to the city of fire. He is not expected to return within two days." B replied.
"Very well, Tsunade is not in Konoha. With Kakashi who has been cut off from his position, these rumors cannot be suppressed at all. Next, it will be the last fire. Hmph, Kakashi, back then I was able to use rumors to suppress the rumors. Your father Sakumo forced you to death, today, even if I don’t force you to death, I will ruin your reputation! Even become a traitor! This Konoha doesn’t need an existence like you!”
Danzo sneered endlessly, as if he had seen the unexpected victory and Kakashi who was forced out of the village by himself.
"B, prepare to spread the next news."
"Please Danzo-sama give instructions!"
A cold light flickered in Danzo's right eye, and he said in a low voice: "The civilians have been shaken, but this is not enough. I want the ninja to shake their trust in Kakashi too. Otherwise, my plan cannot be carried out. Now, you will immediately The news of Jinnin Village spread! It is said that Kakashi has close contacts with Jinnin Village, and it is very likely that he will betray Konoha! There are also people from the Hatake clan in Jinnin Village, and it is very likely that the Hatake clan has Some premeditated, Kakashi is likely to be a spy."
Yi felt a little cold when he heard the words, he didn't expect that Danzo would force Kakashi to die.
But the training he has received for a long time, B still responded immediately: "Yes! Danzo-sama."
"Go down."
B heard this and left the room, went down to prepare the next plan.
This requires a lot of manpower.
Soon, Danzo was the only one left in the empty room.
"As long as Kakashi's cancer is removed, Konoha's future is in my hands. Hirizhan, since you have relieved this burden, I will take it without hesitation. How can Konoha be left to Tsunade and Kakashi?" An incompetent person like Cassie. Only I can lead the village to a higher peak."
Danzo's cold voice echoed in the room.
At this time, the third Hokage was playing shogi with Asma in Sarutobi Mansion.
The chess game was in a stalemate, but upon closer inspection, the Third Hokage had all the advantages, but there was no aggressive momentum, only a peaceful offensive.
Asma lit a cigarette, scratched her hair, sighed, and said, "Old man, I lost."
"Hehe, I gave up so quickly, there is still a chance to take a few more steps."
"No, I know it's the result of losing, so why continue. Anyway, the kid who lost to Shikamaru is used to it." Asma chuckled lightly.
Doesn't seem to be bothered by failure at all.
The Third Hokage shook his head with a smile, and said, "It seems that after getting married, your competitive personality has softened a bit."
Asma was a little embarrassed when she heard the words, with a happy smile on her face.
After marrying Hong and knowing that Hong is pregnant, Asma has indeed softened a lot.
Seeing Asma showing such an expression, the Third Hokage also felt comforted.
At his age, what he really wants to see is a family living happily together.
Konoha, who has been on his mind for a lifetime, has already been taken over by Tsunade, and Kakashi will take over after that, so there should be no problem.
It is precisely because of this that the third Hokage enjoys this peace with peace of mind.
Asma suddenly thought of something, so she said, "Old man, Lord Godaimu has gone to the City of Fire, and the rumors about Kakashi are raging in the village now. What do you think?"
The Third Hokage sighed and said, "It should be Danzo playing tricks again."
"Tuanzo?"
The Third Hokage looked at Hokage Rock in the distance, and said: "Master Nidaimu entrusted Konoha to me, but I let him down. Master Nidaimu can maintain the terrifying balance between peace and threat, but I can't do it." That’s why Danzo exists. Danzo and I are mutual externals, so we can manage this Konoha. Now Danzo may be restless again.”
"Old man, Lord Wudaimu is not here. If Danzo is allowed to toss like this, something will happen." Asma whispered.
The Three Hokages were silent when they heard the words.
How could he not know.
Back then, he allowed Danzang to spread the news about Shuo Mao, which led to Shuo Mao's untimely death.
Now, Danzo seems to have begun to repeat his old tricks.
"Old man, you are the only one in the village who has the ability to suppress this rumor."
Relying on the prestige of the Three Hokages, suppressing this discordant voice will definitely bring immediate results.
After all, for so many years, the dedication of the three generations of Hokage to Konoha is obvious to all.
Just as Sandai Hokage was thinking about it, Konoha Maru ran in from the outside!
"Grandpa! Uncle! It's not good! Something happened!" Konoha Maru panted heavily, and put his right hand on the doorpost beside him.
"What's the matter? Konoha Maru, you're still frizzy at such a big age." Third Hokage blamed.
Konoha Maru took a deep breath, and then said: "Grandpa! Some people in the village say that Kakashi-sensei is going to rebel!"
"what!"
The Third Hokage and Asma stood up at the same time, with shocked expressions on their faces.
