The Road to the Throne of White Eyes

After agreeing on the standard answer, Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others began to assign tasks.

"As for the hospital, Xiaochun, please do the screening. After I have the list, I will arrange for them to plant the curse seal."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice became steady and powerful.

"As for the frame-up on the light screen, I will take the villagers of Konoha to the location shown on the light screen to see. There is no such thing as a graveyard in Konoha Village!"

Staring at Danzo with a determined look, Sarutobi Hiruzen's meaning was very clear: clean up the traces as soon as possible and don't leave any trouble!

After a moment of silence, Hiruzen continued, "Leave Sasuke to me. As for Itachi, I'll talk to him. For the sake of Konoha's peace, I'll have to let him down a bit!"

The old guys nodded silently and stood up to complete their part of the work.

That night, most people in Konoha stayed up all night, and Konoha F4 also started to take action overnight.

In the secret base of the Anbu, Itachi lay on his bed, resting with his eyes closed. He was seriously injured, and even after emergency medical treatment, he had only barely regained some mobility.

He was thinking about what had happened tonight and how to deal with his silly and cute Ou Doudou.

Knock knock knock, Sarutobi Hiruzen knocked on the door and came in. His face looked very heavy. When he saw Itachi lying on the hospital bed, he forced a bitter smile at the corner of his mouth.

"It seems that your injuries have healed well, which puts my mind at ease. Itachi, I have to thank you for what happened tonight. Although there were some accidents in the end, the civil war between Konoha and the Uchiha clan was indeed avoided. In fact, I am very sorry that the Uchiha clan should not have ended like this."

If it were in the past, Itachi would probably be so moved by Hiruzen's actions that he would struggle to stand up and salute even if his body could not move.

But after seeing the dark secrets revealed on the screen tonight, and seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen's act of giving in to the enemy for the sake of his family, he felt that he seemed to have been wrong before.

Itachi was confused. As the pillar of Konoha, Hokage-sama put his family above Konoha. So, for the sake of Konoha's safety, was it right for me to choose to slaughter the entire family?

Feeling Itachi's aloof attitude, Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart tightened, and he quickly continued, "The mysterious man tonight deliberately slandered Konoha, causing many villagers to doubt Konoha. Fortunately, most people are sober and will not be deceived."

After determining the nature of the light curtain tonight, Sarutobi Hiruzen continued, "Don't worry about Sasuke, Danzo has him well protected. He didn't see the rest of the content, he only saw you..."

Hiruzen was a little embarrassed and changed the subject abruptly, "Well, there's also good news. Sasuke has awakened the Sharingan."

Mentioning Sasuke, Itachi instantly perked up a lot, staring at Sarutobi Hiruzen, "Hokage-sama, what are you going to do about Sasuke and those Uchiha clan members who escaped?"

"Don't worry about Sasuke. I will keep my promise. He will continue to go to school and become an outstanding ninja of Konoha. However, this will require some preparation."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Itachi with complicated eyes. The situation was urgent and there were many things to do. He could not slowly influence Itachi.

......

The next day, all the problems that occurred last night were perfectly resolved.

Sarutobi Hiruzen apologized to the Konoha villagers who were frightened under the Hokage Building last night. He said that he had investigated the matter thoroughly and made a summary review of his work.

The video did not fully show the story of Itachi slaughtering his clan for his brother and Konoha, but the residents of Konoha knew that he slaughtered the Uchiha clan.

But the whole process of the incident is unclear.

So Itachi became a sinner in Hiruzen's mouth who, for personal ambition, contacted a mysterious organization outside to build momentum, instigated part of the Uchiha family to cause trouble, and then deceived Elder Danzo and massacred the entire family.

As for what the mysterious man created, it was confirmed to be a combination of illusion and film.

The Hokage personally led a team to search the scene but found no base or graves, proving that the things in the light curtain were all forged to smear Konoha's reputation and create chaos in order to kill people and get away.

Elder Danzo was deceived by Itachi and handled affairs improperly, so he was stripped of his position as Hokage's assistant and was punished to reflect on his mistakes in seclusion for three months.

It was proved that the Sarutobi clan did not have that many ninjas at all. Most of their combat power had been consumed in the process of defending Konoha last night, leaving only many old, weak and sick people.

To sum up all the processes, it means attaching great importance, holding special meetings, conducting joint investigations, thoroughly investigating the problems, punishing them severely, and never tolerating them, drawing lessons from them, conducting special inspections, publishing them in a timely manner, and investigating the enemy's conspiracies.

When he got excited, Sarutobi Hiruzen even trembled all over, tears welled up in his eyes, and he patted his chest to assure that Konoha would gather experts to form a team to track down the mysterious man and eliminate this madman who dared to challenge Konoha.

Behind the so-called truth.

The Root quietly recruited more than 500 civilian ninjas who had been infected with the Mark of the Root of Tongue Trouble, and its strength was greatly improved compared to before.

As for the Anbu, Sarutobi Hiruzen, relying on his personal prestige over the years, ignored the staffing quota and directly expanded it by more than 1000 people. These new members were all taciturn and loyal.

As for those family members, most of them were released, and only a small number of them "voluntarily" asked to join the Anbu and serve the Hokage.

After Sarutobi Hiruzen and his men visited the various clans of Konoha one after another, they reached an agreement. They sent some of their clansmen to take over the positions of the lost members of the Sarutobi clan and shoulder more responsibilities for Konoha.

Then they all agreed to the truth of last night and said that they would not allow rumors to spread and destroy the overall harmony and stability of Konoha.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Tsunetsugu and Mitomon families also expanded slightly and absorbed a small number of elite members into the family.

When the villagers of Konoha calculated that their families had not suffered any losses and the dumpling shop owner had even made a small profit, everyone was happy. They also said that they would supervise their children and not let them talk nonsense.

In this way, the villagers of Konoha have apparently believed the truth investigated by the Hokage.

As for the real thoughts in my heart, I can only say that those who understand will understand.

Konoha F4 felt a little relieved about this situation. They had used self-examination, clarified slander, diverted hatred, and blocked public opinion many times, and this time they would definitely be able to successfully maintain the order that Konoha should have.

Those civilian ninjas whose will of fire is not pure enough, who still have doubts about Konoha and are unwilling to join the Anbu or the Root, will be arranged to exchange posts with the border guard forces and key domestic checkpoint ninjas.

I believe that in the battle of blood and fire, their will of fire can be purified and enhanced.

Of course, there are also sad people.

Sasuke inexplicably woke up in the clan's land, and was extremely frightened when he saw the ruins of the clan's land. Fortunately, he saw Itachi again, and even though his brother was holding a bloody ninja sword in his hand, Sasuke still felt happy.

Then, he saw the three magatama in his brother's eyes spinning and changing, and he experienced an immersive nightmare.

Hinata Feng had never expected that Itachi would ignore his injuries and forcibly use Tsukuyomi again, forcibly rewriting Sasuke's memory, making him think that Itachi had slaughtered the entire family by himself.

When elite ninjas such as Might Dai and Kakashi who were out on missions returned to the village, Konoha's combat effectiveness was replenished and the overall situation stabilized.

It seemed as if there was an invisible force that restored the world line to its original channel, and on the surface the atmosphere in Konoha became harmonious and beautiful again.
