The hidden past was revealed to the public.
The Konoha ninja who died tragically and in vain, the indifferent Sandaime Hokage, and Orochimaru who left calmly and caused countless tragedies in the future.
This should have been a secret that could cause an uproar, but it didn't seem to have the desired effect on such an occasion.
Of course, when they heard this news and it was acknowledged by the person involved, most of the ninjas in Konoha present were angry.
And it is uncontrollable anger!
After all, it was not just limited to the day when Orochimaru escaped. Before and after, in his human experiments to satisfy his selfish desires, and in Konoha's sacrifice to hunt down and bring him to justice, there were many ninjas. Some of them are their companions, compatriots, and even relatives! !
However, when they saw the Sandaime Hokage's spirit that suddenly declined, and saw the pale hair that he took off the hat that symbolized the Hokage because of self-blame.
Among the Konoha ninjas present, they couldn't bear to criticize and question him.
After all, it has been a long time since that incident, and everyone has already hidden the grief at that time deep in their hearts.
Moreover, the most distressed person at that time must have been the Sandaime. After all, whether it was Orochimaru or the fellow Konoha ninjas, his palms and backs must be flesh.
"Sandaime Hokage, please don't blame yourself too much."
"After all, Orochimaru was once your proudest and most satisfied disciple. He even said that he had transcended the scope of a disciple for a long time."
"He himself also made great achievements for Konoha and the entire Fire Nation in the Second Ninja War. He was even given the title of Sannin of Konoha by the demigod Sanshouyu Hanzo, making Konoha's The reputation has been raised again.”
"Such achievements cannot be easily erased."
"Let me ask, who can bear to kill such an outstanding disciple?"
Some Konoha ninjas were the first to step out of this shocking past and raised their voices to express their opinions.
Although there is no direct suggestion between the lines whether letting Orochimaru escape was a mistake or a right thing.
But the meaning of maintenance is beyond words.
"Yes, everyone present is the mainstay of the village."
"To a greater or lesser extent, all of them have led a team, or have students or juniors who get along with them day and night."
"If they suddenly commit an indescribable crime, can you all guarantee that they will be killed as soon as possible?"
Immediately after such impassioned questions, voices echoed.
And there is no family crest on their ninja uniforms, so they are obviously ninjas belonging to the common civilian family.
For these people, the Sandaime has a glorious meaning that is difficult to ban and discredit.
Even if you make a mistake, as long as it is not something that is really too difficult to describe or something that is nailed to the pillar of shame, most of them can be forgiven.
Subsequently, such voices and excuses came one after another like a tide.
This past incident in the past seemed to further confirm the Sandaime's label of being gentle and soft-hearted.
The crimes Orochimaru committed seemed to be offset by his merits and demerits at the same time.
After all, he was later classified as an S-class defective nin by Konoha and was executed by all the forces in the ninja world. This was the price he should pay.
It was at this moment that Huang finally understood something.
Here, this land is no longer the wooden leaves that run through the so-called 'land where leaves are flying and fire is endless'.
Instead, he completely implemented the decayed Konoha of the strongest Hokage in history, Hiruzen Sarutobi!
Under such a wave,
He watched the Sandaime wipe the tears from his eyes, his lips and teeth trembling as if he was saying something to the followers behind him;
Looking at Sarutobi Mame, he cast a look of hatred and provocation, as if he wanted to eat him alive!
but,
But there was no hint of embarrassment or rage in his heart.
Because, it is indeed understandable.
Just like the current Uchiha clan has long stopped mentioning the previous clan leader, Uchiha Fugaku, and has completely implemented its own ideas.
It would be a strange thing if Konoha, which had been dominated by Sarutobi Hiruzen and run for most of his life, could not hear some supportive voices when something happened to the Sandaime.
Moreover, everything related to Konoha has nothing to do with it at this moment.
Just wait quietly for that grand day to arrive.
Thinking of this, Huang opened his lips and teeth slightly in order to drive away these noisy guys from different paths.
But at this moment, Uchiha Linhuo behind Yu suddenly said:
"My companions were wantonly killed by traitors. As Hokage, I not only watched helplessly, but even allowed the other party to leave calmly."
"This kind of behavior can be condoned, excused and justified."
"Ah."
"Is it because too much time has passed that you, the older generation who are accustomed to peace and tranquility, have forgotten what blood is? Or is it just because the bystanders are the Sandaime, so you have no way to blame."
"Can you really still be considered ninjas?"
His voice and eyes were full of contempt and disdain.
Because this attitude of letting your companions die without caring or caring about it is very clear! !
No,
Not only himself, but also his companions, and the entire clan.
Such an attitude is exactly the same as that night of nightmare filled with blood and fire.
That night, countless tribesmen were calling out the name of the patriarch, ranging from frightened requests for help, to frightened helplessness, and finally to angry curses.
However, that person never appeared from beginning to end!
He allowed his eldest son to kill and wreak havoc in the clan area.
Such a memory is so profound that it has long been burned into his soul. It is an indelible hatred! !
Even after the incident, Konoha had given a response. The Fugaku couple also died under the blade of the traitor Itachi.
But he didn't believe it,
No one in the clan believed it!
Because it was Konoha who came to the conclusion, and the Sandaime even used the lame excuse that the deceased was dead, not allowing them to conduct an autopsy, let alone use the Sharingan to personally explore the eyes of the sinner's parents.
And this is enough to explain the problem.
It was that bastard clan leader who chose his own son when his clan needed him most!
What is the difference between this kind of behavior and the dark history exposed by the Sandaime Hokage?
"Or, you all think that other people's lives are not lives."
Uchiha Linhuo's voice was extremely depressed, and he didn't care at all about the identity of the Konoha ninjas in his field of vision.
All he knew was that such behavior disgusted him.
Extremely disgusting!
I have to express my emotions! !
Being treated with such blunt words made the expressions on the faces of these Konoha ninjas somewhat ugly. After all, they were also the seniors of these little guys.
"This matter involves a lot of depth, and the truth behind it is not something you little guys can discuss at will."
"When you really grow up and have your own students, you will be able to understand."
A Konoha ninja said in a low voice, trying to brush away such accusations.
But in response, there was a cold rhetorical question:
"Yeah?"
"Will you be able to understand when you grow up?"
"Isn't it the duty of a ninja to obey orders?"
"Isn't that order from decades ago that Orochimaru, who has committed countless crimes, must be captured?"
"Sandaime."
It's Hatake Kakashi.
At this moment, he looked at the white-haired old man in his field of vision with extreme restraint and indifference.
It feels like looking at a stranger.
Tonight,
The Sandaime led everyone to attack the Uchiha clan in order to get an explanation for letting Orochimaru go, which he could understand;
When the Sandaime was questioned, the surrounding Konoha ninjas showed their defense of the former, which he could understand;
Even in the past, he could understand the fact that the Sandaime let Orochi go with his own hands.
but,
In any case, he could not understand why the Sandaime chose to give up the mission and let Orochimaru leave. It could be understood as a matter of course, and even understood and defended.
However, why did my father, who chose to give up the mission in order to save the lives of his companions, be put on the opposite side of the entire village?
not understand,
He really doesn't understand.
That’s why I feel so emotionally out of control right now! !
[A ninja who doesn't abide by his mission is trash, but a ninja who doesn't cherish his companions is worse than trash! 】
[In my opinion, Senior White Fang is a hero. 】
The two voices from Uchiha were roaring in his ears and in his sea of consciousness! !
If my father could get a little support from even one person, he probably wouldn't have ended up like that!
Staring at the white-haired old man in his field of vision, Kakashi's eyes ached.
Earlier, those lies that came from Uchiha Ara's mouth and were suppressed deep in his heart gradually emerged again, and were desperately breeding in an extremely crazy manner.
"Kakashi!"
"As the leader of the team, do you want to fool around like these juniors who are ignorant of the world?"
"Hokage-sama has already admitted his mistake, why do he still insist on it?"
"Or do you really want to see the Sandaime abdicate?"
An indignant voice reached his ears.
However, it could no longer shake his heart at this moment.
Ridiculous and pitiful emotions gradually filled the eyes that stared intently at Sarutobi Hiruzen.
【see it? 】
[Have you seen everything, Father? 】
[It turns out that when you make a mistake, you just need to apologize and get down from your position. 】
[There is no need to commit seppuku at all! ! 】
【Ah,】
【Almost forgot. 】
[He did the same thing last time. 】
For a moment, Kakashi felt that a certain belief he had held on to for many years was suddenly broken.
However, unlike the Uchiha juniors who were dominated by intense emotions, he now possesses a certain degree of reason and restraint.
"mistake?"
"Can the mistakes you make always be forgiven?"
"And who are you forgiving for?"
"Do you want to forgive those Konoha ninjas who died in vain? Or do you want to forgive those people and countries who have been persecuted by Orochimaru over the years?"
"but,"
"Are you qualified to forgive?"
"Are you worthy to forgive on behalf of those who died?"
"Really, shameless."
The clear voice contained an easily palpable hostility.
It's Quan's voice.
Likewise, her scarlet eyes were also releasing unabashed intimidation at this moment!
Because he knows more things than the clansmen around him, many, many more.
Those things were enough to make him ignore all the aura possessed by the sanctimonious Sandaime!
"you,"
"I have no respect for my elders!"
"Huang, shouldn't you discipline your people properly?"
Sarutobi Shinga shouted angrily.
Things that should have been turned over a long time ago have been clinging to by these evil-natured guys. They really don’t know how to advance or retreat at all!
"Sandaime-dono, your clan members have slandered and called the head of my clan by name several times."
"Are you going to continue to be indifferent!!"
Uchiha Nashu responded without giving in, and the whole scene was like a farce.
"enough."
"Shut up, everyone."
In such a confrontation, under those complicated eyes, Sarutobi Hiruzen finally stopped the fight.
"Since this matter happened because of me, I will definitely take full responsibility."
"However, it is now the troubled time of the Chunin Exams. Even Orochimaru, who has fled the village for decades, has smelled the news and must be prepared to see if more special situations will arise."
"To do this, what we need now is to work together and help each other."
"Instead of such mutual suspicion and mutual accusations."
You can hear the righteous words in his voice.
And after a pause, he continued to add:
"When this joint chuunin examination passes, I will voluntarily resign as Hokage and accept all punishments."
"That's not going to change."
"So, I ask you all to put aside all contradictions at this critical moment, work together, and work together to maintain the image and glory of Konoha."
"Sarutobi Sarutobi, I will go to the clan's ancestral hall and be locked up for a month after tonight, and I won't be allowed to step out."
"Chief Ara also asks you to restrain the words and deeds of your own clan. The previous generation of Uchiha and Konoha had many conflicts. I hope they can be completely changed starting from this new generation."
"Do you understand everything?"
As he finished speaking, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked around at everyone, and an aura of self-indulgence and self-anger poured out of him.
After all, he is still the [Shadow] of this village! 】
"yes."
There was a chorus of responses.
Everyone present was obviously very aware of the importance of this joint examination, but on the contrary, no one from the Uchiha clan, which was clearly opposed to each other, responded.
However, I heard the leading young man say to a certain ninja who had made such nonsense before:
"Konoha's fame and glory?"
"Konoha's strongest reputation and most dazzling glory is the period created by the Senju of the Forest and Uchiha."
"Konoha Sannin?"
"If you want to add more, you can first recreate the glory of the past and then talk to yourself!"
"I won't send it."
And set the time back for a while,
In the Kingdom of Rain adjacent to the Kingdom of Fire.
A burly man wearing a special gas mask was running awkwardly in the city's underground drainage pipes, and the crisp sound of the chains entangled around him sounded like a life-threatening horn.
And at the corner of the pipe behind Yu, there are white paper cranes that follow him like a shadow.
'Tap tap tap. '
I don't know how long I ran at full speed, but the dull footsteps gradually became longer, and a dim skylight was also exposed in the man's eyes.
It's the exit of this underground pipe.
However, as soon as he stepped out of this passage, Sanshouyu Hanzo suddenly stopped.
Enter the eyes,
It was six human beings with no human emotions on their faces standing above the rolling river.
"Penn."
An unwilling whisper came from the man's mouth.
