Of course, Sarutobi Hiruzen was not stupid.
In his opinion, Danzo was still too naive. Did he really think Uchiha Jin was a soft persimmon?
Even if he gave Danzo these people, it was really hard to say how many would be left in the end.
Of course.
Even if Danzo really failed, it didn't matter. At least it could consume some of Uchiha Jin's pupil power, which was a great thing for him.
As for angering the Uchiha?
Hehe!
He was least afraid of this.
Why was he willing to choose forbearance now? It was because his power as Hokage was not enough, and he had no reason to actively target the Uchiha. Other ninja clans would not choose to support him.
If the Uchiha rebelled, those ninja clans would have no choice but to act!
"So, that's how it is!"
"In that case, I'm relieved."
Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura looked at each other and couldn't help but nod.
Subsequently.
After confirming that there was nothing else, the two naturally chose to leave directly.
...
Konoha was in chaos.
The tone of conspiracy theories was everywhere. Countless people were whispering to each other, especially when they looked at the Hokage Building, they subconsciously revealed a trace of fear.
Of course.
If you were careful enough, you would find that the street in front of the Hokage Building was so quiet today that there wasn't even a single pedestrian.
Even if people had to pass by for business, they would rather take a detour than pass in front of the Hokage Building.
"Lord Sakumo, how could it be like this?"
"Actually, I thought it was strange at the time. Logically speaking, a B-rank commission is top secret, but the S-rank intelligence was leaked so suddenly, and it became known throughout Konoha in one day. Even the Konoha higher-ups didn't make a statement about it..."
"I think Lord Sakumo committed suicide to protect Kakashi."
"Definitely. If he hadn't committed suicide, Kakashi wouldn't have survived!"
"..."
On the streets, discussions were rampant.
And Kakashi, who was an Anbu wearing a mask, was squatting in the shadows not far away, turning a deaf ear to the crowd's discussions.
Yes.
As an Anbu of Konoha, after all these years, how could he not have guessed?
It was just that now, he had long become completely numb!
Especially after the deaths of Obito, Rin, and the Fourth Hokage and his wife, he was now almost a walking corpse, just living numbly every day.
Revenge?
Meaningless!
Even if he took revenge, so what? Could his father come back to life?
Now he was like the name Hatake Sakumo gave him, like a scarecrow in a field. Now he was just a living shell, a walking corpse.
"Kakashi!"
Just as Kakashi was lost in memories, a watermelon head appeared above his head.
Kakashi had a black line on his forehead: "Guy, stop messing around!"
"I'm on a mission; I can't talk to you."
In response to this.
Might Guy turned a deaf ear and hugged him in his arms: "Is what everyone said true? Was your father really because of..."
"Guy, shut up!" Kakashi's eyes were cold: "Don't talk nonsense."
"This matter has nothing to do with you. Just pretend you didn't hear those words and do your own thing."
"Don't get involved in this matter!"
At this moment, Kakashi's tone was terribly cold.
Might Guy was one of the few friends he recognized now, without exception!
Even people like Kurenai Yuhi and Asuma Sarutobi could only be considered colleagues, limited to acquaintances.
So.
He didn't want Might Guy to be in danger. He knew very well how deep the water was here.
Might Guy: "..."
Looking at the serious-faced Kakashi, his heart instantly sank to the bottom.
Although he was simple, he was not stupid!
Since Kakashi had said so much, how could he not understand the truth of the matter?
So, sigh!
After a helpless sigh, he could only nod heavily.
"I—understand!"
His words were filled with a trace of helplessness.
Yes!
So what if he knew? How many years had it been since Hatake Sakumo died?
Even if he confronted the Hokage, what was the point?
Kill the Hokage?
He didn't want Konoha to be in chaos either. After all, this was his home!
Seeing this, Kakashi was also relieved.
His whole person became lazy again: "Guy, you go back."
"I know." Might Guy nodded.
Kakashi watched Might Guy leave, and then looked at the increasingly chaotic village. He couldn't help but let out a helpless sigh.
Headache!
But what could be done?
This was a struggle between the Uchiha and the Konoha higher-ups. How could a small fry like him participate?
Yes.
Even though he was an elite Jonin, in the current Konoha, he was indeed just a small fry.
...
Not far away, in the teahouse.
The clan heads of the Ino-Shika-Cho three clans sat on top drinking tea. Of course, they also heard the discussion below.
"The Uchiha are really ruthless!"
Yamanaka Inoichi shook his head, and then his tone became serious: "Shikaku, should we get involved?"
"Get involved?" The corners of Nara Shikaku's mouth twitched: "And then?"
"Although Sarutobi Hiruzen is not a good person, if we really get this old thing down, who are you prepared to let be the Fifth Hokage?"
"With Konoha's current situation, who is qualified to be the Fifth?"
"Danzo? Or the Uchiha?"
Hearing these words, Yamanaka Inoichi instantly became honest.
Yes!
The current Konoha was too weak; only Sarutobi Hiruzen could suppress the Uchiha.
If Sarutobi Hiruzen was really brought down, who could suppress the Uchiha?
After Namikaze Minato's sacrifice, everyone held their noses and chose to let Sarutobi Hiruzen take the stage. Wasn't it to let him suppress the Uchiha?
"Sigh, what a headache!"
"The current Konoha is in a period of decline, without a single person who can hold the fort."
"That old thing Sarutobi Hiruzen is really ruthless. So many of Konoha's strong people have been ruined by him."
Yamanaka Inoichi sighed.
Even Nara Shikaku revealed a bitter smile, but what was the point of saying this?
Even if he was angry, he had to hold it in!
Actually, let alone their Ino-Shika-Cho, didn't other ninja clans also not get involved?
Everyone's worries were actually the same.
Actually, they didn't care who took the stage, but the Uchiha were absolutely not allowed. Because the Uchiha were the founding family of Konoha!
Yes.
The so-called extreme temperament and so on were all nonsense. The real reason was just this simple point.
The Uchiha were too strong!
If the Uchiha were really allowed to take power, with the Uchiha's strength, if they also controlled the great power of Konoha, then Konoha would become a subsidiary of the Uchiha in the future.
When the Senju and Uzumaki clans were finished, why didn't these ninja clans take action?
The reason was the same; these great ninja clans were all too strong!
They all hoped that these great ninja clans would disappear; otherwise, these Kekkei Genkai families would not be able to stand out.
In fact.
This was not unique to Konoha; other ninja villages were also like this.
Although everyone had not reached an agreement, the steps of all villages were almost the same. While supporting civilian ninjas, they were also increasing their efforts to weaken the great ninja clans of each village.
However.
Compared to the troubled Yamanaka Inoichi and Nara Shikaku, Akimichi Choza was still eating now and had no interest in participating in these things at all.
