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

"An investigation has revealed that the Uchiha clan has no connection with the Nine-Tails' attack. The guards have not had any contact with the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and all Uchiha clan members are within the barrier. This is not related to the Uchiha clan at this time."

The Uchiha clan has been cleared of suspicion, which is cause for celebration.

Brother Fugaku beamed with joy.

"When the turmoil occurred, I was engaged in a fierce battle with the Nine-Tails. Although I saw the tomoe in the Nine-Tails' eye, the situation was urgent and I couldn't attend to some things. This was my oversight."

"However, Danzo ordered the Uchiha to stay away from the battlefield without my confirmation, which ultimately led to the disaster."

"Shimura Danzo should bear the main responsibility for this incident. As the Hokage, I was also extremely derelict in my duties. However, I was not the Hokage at the time, and everything in the village was directed by the Fourth Hokage."

So you even shared half of the pot with Little Sun?

Hinata Himo stared in shock at the old village chief, who was shamelessly dividing the pots despite everyone's stares.

As expected of Hiruzen Sarutobi.

He knew that the old village chief would eventually smooth things over, but it's wrong to blame a dead person.

According to the Third Hokage, it was because the Fourth Hokage failed to restrain Danzo that Danzo acted on his own.

But aren't you treating everyone like fools?

Everyone knows Danzo is one of your men.

"Furthermore, Kakashi Hatake's Sharingan was transplanted later in life. Tests have shown that he does not yet have the ability to control the Nine-Tails, but we must take what Chief Hiroshi said seriously."

After a pause, the old village chief looked at Hyuga Hijin. He himself was also somewhat shocked by the Sharingan's aura.

"Chief Richeng, can you take responsibility for what you said?"

If what Hinata Hisei said is true, then there are only two possible outcomes to this matter. The old village chief's question clearly indicates that he wants to continue to distribute the blame.

"I never lie. Kakashi's Sharingan does indeed have the same aura as the Sharingan that controls the Nine-Tails. Chief Fugaku can also testify to this."

Hinata Hijiro scratched his head with a憨厚 (honest and simple) expression.

"That's right, it's Obito's eyes."

Fugaku, without hesitation, even revealed Obito's identity.

"In my opinion, the Nine-Tails attack can be attributed to someone using Obito's eyes, or perhaps it was Obito himself who did it!"

The old village chief said with a heavy expression.

Kakashi, standing in the corner, looked up upon hearing this, his eyes filled with confusion. His old friend's Sharingan was still draining his chakra, reminding him of what had happened in the past.

"Obito is dead."

He believed in Obito, his hoarse voice defending his friend.

Or rather, he didn't believe that Obito, if alive, could have done something that killed his teacher and his teacher's wife.

That was Obito Uchiha of Konoha, who once aspired to become Hokage!

How could he possibly do such a thing?

Kakashi believed that the Third Hokage's speculation was disrespectful to the dead, but he didn't dare to speak too loudly.

What's even more terrifying is what the old village chief said next.

"Whether Obito is really dead is just your opinion, but what is certain is that Kakashi's eyes will probably grow to the point of being able to control the Nine-Tails someday."

"I suggest that Kakashi be closely monitored to prevent any unforeseen circumstances."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Kakashi was completely defined; he had truly been abandoned.

Perhaps in the future, it will be expelled by three generations, allowing the villagers to vent their anger.

Yes.

After all, that eye can control the Nine-Tails.

Obito is dead, and he will have to bear the burden of that darkness.

Actually, this result is already quite good for Kakashi.

If it weren't for the limited time, the immense pressure the Third Hokage was under, and Danzo not being there to huddle with him, Kakashi would have lost that eye.

The Sharingan that can control the Nine-Tails is incredibly tempting to the higher-ups, but they dare not claim it for themselves at all!

Even now, the old village chief is still suspected of using Obito's other eye to manipulate the Nine-Tails' chaos. Thinking further into conspiracy theories, was Obito's death orchestrated by the old village chief from the beginning to cover up today's Nine-Tails' chaos?

Is it all for the purpose of unleashing the Nine-Tails' rampage and reclaiming the Hokage position?

Therefore, considering all the above, it is impossible for the old village chief to take Kakashi's eyes under the pretext of monitoring.

As for Danzo

"During the Nine-Tails' rampage, Shimura Danzo issued orders without permission, causing enormous damage to the village. His crimes are even greater than those of the mastermind behind it all! He should atone with his death!"

Are you willing to execute Danzo?

Brother Fugaku sneered, "As expected, there will be a 'but' later."

His voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just enough for everyone in the meeting room to hear clearly. His older brother was expressing his dissatisfaction. He hoped that the Third Hokage would resign, but Fugaku also knew that with war approaching, changing the Hokage was simply impossible.

The old village chief paused upon hearing this, glanced at Fugaku, and then coughed.

"but!"

Hmph, I won't say "but"!

"However, considering the urgency of the situation at the time, and the fact that the Nine-Tails' manipulator was not known immediately, Danzo Shimura's overstepping of authority is understandable. He may be spared the death penalty, but he will not escape punishment!"

"Remove Danzo from his high-ranking positions in Konoha, remove him from his position as leader of Root, and send him to the battlefield to atone for his crimes!"

It sounds like he's farting!

Fugaku Uchiha was shocked. Even with his intelligence, he could tell that this was a case of lifting something high and then letting it fall gently!

He was already dispensable as a high-ranking official in Konoha, so this was hardly a punishment.

Stepping down as the leader of Root certainly sounds like a heavy responsibility, but if you think about it carefully, Root has long been his personal fiefdom. What's the point of sending someone else to take over? If he just puts in Danzo's confidant, wouldn't it just end up back in Danzo's hands anyway?

What's even more disgusting is that they're sent to the battlefield to atone for their crimes through meritorious service.

This is a perfectly legitimate opportunity for Danzo to make a comeback!

None of the people present were fools, and they naturally understood what the old village chief meant.

However, they all tacitly refrained from saying anything.

the reason is simple.

With war approaching, Konoha needs to gather all its strength to possibly withstand the overwhelming force of Kumogakure. Danzo deserves to die, but he should die on the battlefield.

finally.

This reconvened pot-dividing meeting, held before the wartime conference, has come to an end.

Among them, the old village chief, Hiruzen Sarutobi, lost both face and substance, and was blamed for his poor command and dereliction of duty.

The old village chief's right-hand man, Shimura Danzo, lost his position and was forced to take responsibility for the village's losses after being given the burden of overstepping his authority.

Kakashi Hatake, the son of Konoha's White Fang and a general under the old village chief, was the one who was most seriously injured by collateral damage because he inherited Obito's Sharingan. He will even have to be monitored by the village in the future, and he is currently in a state of complete confusion.

But what no one expected was that Obito Uchiha, who was rumored to have died, became the one who took the most blame at the end of the meeting. The reason was that if Obito hadn't died, his eyes wouldn't have been used, the Nine-Tails attack wouldn't have happened, so it was all Obito's fault, and he had to take responsibility for it!

This news has caused a stir in Konoha!

Later, it was said that the stone tablets in the memorial park with names containing the character "土" (tu) were smashed, and many angry villagers spat at the stone tablets. In the dead of night, some people even excreted unidentified substances.

Of course, when Chief Richeng learns of this news in the future, he will understand.

look.

Heaven is watching what people do, and the eyes of the masses are discerning. Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt its debtor—doesn't that make sense?

If Obito knew this news, he would surely be very pleased.

Chapter 35 For the Village!

But let's leave that aside for now.

at the moment.

After the pots were divided, the meeting continued.

Hinata Hijima watched the old village chief's performance from the perspective of a spectator.

In fact, Chief Richeng highly praised the old village chief's response.

Most people would probably have given up resisting after being hit by Fugaku's combination of punches, but the old village chief was different. He stood up again, abandoning what needed to be abandoned and comforting what needed to be comforted.

You can say he's not a qualified Hokage, but you can't say he's not a qualified politician.

However, just after the division of labor was completed, Hinata Hiroki also took on a job.

Himaru Hyuga glanced at Kakashi, whose expression was completely different from Danzo's, in the corner, and smiled.

The old village chief has already assigned the task of monitoring Kakashi to the Hyuga clan.

Actually, this is a test.

It's also a warning, but more importantly, it's a prelude.

But what the old village chief didn't know was that his actions had already affected the future.

The teacher of the chosen one will become completely corrupted under his guidance, and then train a completely corrupted chosen one!

While this is a difficult task, it's not impossible if Naruto's saintly personality is eliminated beforehand.

There are indeed saints in the world.

Especially this kind of passionate world.

But the truth is, in this place full of flesh and blood, some ideas are simply incomprehensible.

Chief Richeng felt he had an obligation and a responsibility to awaken the protagonists of this world and help them establish correct values.

Regardless of what constitutes so-called correct values.

If someone kills your parents and you forgive them, that's clearly not right.
