As a member of the Hokage, one dares not be a loyal subject of Konoha!

Absolutely not!

"Brother, you're brilliant. So, what's next?"

Hinata Hijiri nodded admiringly, looking like he was listening attentively.

"Then find out the other party's identity and demand an explanation from their three generations of relatives!"

"It's only natural," said Fugaku.

"And then what?"

Hinata Hiroshi said calmly.

And then.

The Fugaku brothers fell silent.

Yes.

Then again?

His brows furrowed in silence, and Fugaku's eyes held a slight bewilderment.

"So, brother, you didn't use this incident to seek any real benefits for the Uchiha?"

Hinata Himeko asked suspiciously.

"Nobles are still seen as the culprits of the Nine-Tailed Fox's rampage in the eyes of ordinary people. What's the difference between then and now?"

There might be some differences.

The higher-ups will understand the Uchiha's determination to fight to the end.

this.

A bead of sweat appeared on Fugaku's forehead.

Oh no, I showed off too early!

But Fugaku was always a man who could bend and stretch!

He took a deep breath, his eyes gradually becoming sincere as he gazed at Hinata Himo's handsome face.

"Brother Cheng, teach me!"

Chief Nichisei raised an eyebrow, his expression slightly hesitant, seemingly somewhat disappointed in Fugaku.

"Mikoto will be there soon!"

Fugaku spoke again.

"Speaking of which, I also miss Sasuke."

Chief Richeng smiled and naturally continued the conversation.

"So, Brother Fugaku, we're all on the same side, there's no need for us to act tough with each other. Why are you still clinging to the traditions of the Uchiha clan when you're with me?"

"Look how awesome I am, but I never brag to others about how awesome I am? Because even if I don't brag, others will still know how awesome I am, so I don't need to pretend."

Brother Fugaku didn't dare to say much, he just kept smiling apologetically.

This is also his fault; he's been a bit excited lately, and his Uchiha bloodline has become active again.

"So, Yuezi..."

After a brief pause, Nichisei looked at Fugaku.

Fugaku was taken aback, then nodded repeatedly.

"I'm listening, Cheng-ge, please continue."

Chief Richeng was fairly satisfied with Yuezi's attitude and patted him gently on the shoulder.

"Politics cannot be explained in a few words, but Yuezi, you must understand that sometimes a combination of punches is more powerful than a single big punch."

Combination punches and a big shove?

Fugaku frowned, finally seeing the hand that had been patting his shoulder now patting his face.

"Of course, relatively speaking, the big 'bucket' is more insulting, but it depends on what kind of ending you want."

Got it, arresting a single person is just putting pressure on the higher-ups.

After apprehending someone, combine that with other actions, and you've got a combo punch!

Fugaku's eyes showed understanding, but he still didn't know exactly what to do.

And Chief Richeng did not disappoint him.

"Science shows that it's not just the Sharingan that can make tailed beasts go berserk, but also some kind of hallucinogenic drug."

Richeng said with a smile.

"As far as I know, Mr. Snake once used this method to make the Eight-Tails go berserk and wreak havoc on Kumogakure."

"And the one who ultimately destroyed Mr. Snake's laboratory was none other than Mr. Snake's teacher, the old village chief himself."

and then?

Fugaku's breathing quickened, and he vaguely understood something.

"Kushina Uzumaki was delivered by Biwako Sarutobi."

The highly persuasive words reached Fugaku's ears.

At this very moment, a conspiracy drama that would overturn his worldview was officially unfolding in his mind!

Chapter 17: The Master of Conspiracy Theories.

A major event in the ninja world.

Towards the end of the Third Shinobi World War, thanks to the wise leadership of the Third Hokage, Konoha was under immense pressure across the board.

If it weren't for Mr. Orochimaru's desperate defense of Kikyo Mountain and the young Sun's bloody battle at Kami-no-bi Bridge, this great battle would have been a truly crushing defeat for Konoha.

However, the three generations of village chiefs could no longer withstand the pressure from all sides and had no choice but to step down and support Shui Men to take over.

But with power shifting downwards, how could the old village chief tolerate this?

He also understood that clinging to power after stepping down would easily draw criticism.

Therefore, we must come up with a new approach.

Just then, he learned that his disciple had committed a taboo and that the human experimentation had finally been exposed. To demonstrate his righteousness in putting aside his own family, he personally took charge of arresting the person.

However, he still couldn't bring himself to harm his former disciples.

Or perhaps he had some shady deal with his old buddy, knowing that Orochimaru was a pawn that couldn't be touched, so he left unscathed.

But the experimental results he left behind greatly excited the old village chief.

And so, a grand conspiracy to regain power began.

Seizing the opportunity of Kushina's delivery, he sent his own wife to deliver the baby and used the replacement drug that had previously caused the Eight-Tails to go berserk to unleash the Nine-Tails!

In order to regain power, he did not hesitate to sacrifice his wife and countless souls of the dead in Konoha.

Then release the news that the Sharingan can control the Nine-Tails, making the Uchiha clan take the blame, which will make it easier to suppress and exclude them in the future!

As for the three tomoe in Kurama's eyes?

What if the medicine left behind by Orochimaru could produce such a special effect?

It's hard to say!

Besides, during the middle of the Nine-Tailed Fox's rampage, didn't everyone see that it regained its beast eyes?

The great battle between the First Hokage and Madara Uchiha lasted for several days!

If the Nine-Tails were controlled by the Uchiha clan, they would definitely have taken a thorough approach and wouldn't have controlled it for such a short time!

Since the Uchiha clan is unpopular, they have plenty of excuses to shift the blame!

And our old village chief.

He is the undisputed final boss!

When the devil's whispers rang in his ears, Fugaku Uchiha felt a chill run down his spine.

He stared at Hinata Hime with a chill running down his spine, a hint of fear even lurking deep in his eyes.

Chief Richeng remained calm and composed after speaking. He returned to his seat, sipping his tea with the same elegance he always maintained.

Tsk.

Where is this?

If he wanted, he could start fabricating conspiracy theories from the very beginning of Konoha's founding!

But now, there's no need to go that far at all.

So-called rumors need to be combined with the existing situation, real factors, and then enriched from multiple perspectives. Finally, the organized information should be released in stages and little by little.

The ninja world is oppressive and despairing. Only a small minority believe in the light, while most people are preoccupied with how to survive during wartime.

In this distorted world, people are more willing to believe more negative news.

As for those with the mindset of the future great sage Naruto, it's not that there weren't any in the entire ninja world, but those who shared his belief that the world is warm and that love knows no bounds were basically all dead.

Look at Yahiko, he's a typical example of someone who has the ability of a protagonist but dreams of being one.

Hinata Hijiri believed that compared to the Uchiha's retaliation against the village for their dissatisfaction, this version of the old village chief using underhanded means to regain power would definitely be more believable!

They don't need to completely agree; as long as the villagers and ninjas can change their way of looking at the old village chief, the rumor will be enough.

Chief Nichijo himself really wanted the old village chief to experience some form of passive-aggressive treatment, since it was the same treatment Kakashi's father had received, and it was much milder than what Sakumo Hatake had experienced.

At least he's still the Hokage, so no one dares to talk about him to his face.

"In my earlier years, I only heard rumors about the smell of the Sarutobi clan's monkeys, which might cause the tailed beasts to go berserk."

After calming down for a while, Fugaku Uchiha looked at Hinata Hyuga with even more complicated emotions. He now deeply regretted his arrogant attitude in front of the other party.

He probably can't match that level of wisdom in his entire life.
