[35L: Those two heroes who fought four battles?!]

[36L Cloud Ninja A: Yeah.]

[37L: So, what do you think? Is he handsome in person? Is he really that good-looking? What's he like as a person?]

[38L Cloud Ninja Armor: How about it... I can only say there's no change.]

[39L: Wow, the person upstairs is a pro! They know both heroes?!]

[40L Cloud Village Jonin A: Well... we fought together during the Fourth Shinobi World War. Naruto Uzumaki is still as carefree as ever, while Sasuke Uchiha is still as aloof as ever...]

[41L: I believe it now, the person upstairs must be a pro, their tone is so familiar.]

"Holy crap! It really is them!"

Chapter 34 The Underworld Scene: All the disciples are damned sinners!

"Holy crap! It really is them!"

Jiraiya had a feeling that he had just guessed right; it really was those two from Class 7.

"Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha..." Tobirama muttered these two names as he looked at Kakashi, who was completely bewildered.

Did you have to be so sudden?

He revealed their names without any warning; we should at least give him some mental preparation.

Although he wasn't very surprised.

Those kids are doing a great job, they're showing excellent growth.

A barely perceptible sense of relief appeared on his face. Minato-sensei would be very happy to know that Naruto had grown into a hero.

"Those two brats? How is that possible?!"

The meeting was originally scheduled to discuss the possibility of Madara Uchiha joining forces with the future Five Kage, but now the focus has shifted to Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha.

Mitokado Homura was the first to exclaim in disbelief.

One is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and the other is a descendant of the Uchiha clan.

Saving the world? That's utterly ridiculous.

Xiaochun, who was changing dorms, momentarily forgot that their teacher was still there. Accustomed to standing in a superior position, pointing fingers at others or looking down on them, judging others by external things or values, she couldn't stop talking for a moment.

"As far as I know, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki's strength has always been a drag, and he hasn't even been able to use the Nine-Tails' chakra well. As for Uchiha Sasuke..."

"That person's blood has always been Uchiha blood."

They didn't trust the Uchiha clan, and they didn't trust Uchiha Sasuke either.

The disdain and contempt on the faces of the two elders made everyone present feel uncomfortable.

Although they were surprised, it wasn't to the point of...

After all, they were all Kakashi's students, one of whom was the Fourth Hokage's child, and the other was a descendant of the Uchiha clan whom they owed a great debt to.

These two people have absolutely nothing...

Forget it, they already know what kind of people the elders are.

As the two were making their disdainful remarks, they didn't notice that their teacher, the Second Generation Lord, had suddenly turned cold.

"Kakashi, tell us about their situation. After all, they are your students," Tobirama said, ignoring the two of them and looking at Kakashi.

"Ah? Um..."

Kakashi had just nodded when Koharu Utatane frowned even more. "Tobirama-sensei, you don't really want to? That brat is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."

"It's hard to control; it's a ticking time bomb for the village."

Mitokado Homura nodded in agreement, "And that Uchiha, after learning the truth about the Uchiha clan massacre, his loyalty to the village..."

"Enough!" Tobirama coldly interrupted the two. "In the end, if you hadn't wiped out the Uchiha clan, why would that brat harbor resentment towards the village?"

These words left the two speechless. "Tobirama-sensei, we're all doing this for Konoha."

"The Uchiha clan..."

"Don't you have any remorse?" His face instantly turned cold, and he stared sharply at his two students. He was originally too busy to deal with them and was unsure how to handle them.

We wanted to wait until things settled down before taking action, and since we were short-handed in the meantime, we decided to let them redeem themselves by doing good deeds.

did not expect......

"You all deserve a lot of credit for the Uchiha clan's eventual demise!"

With a cold expression and bursting with suppressed chakra, the Second Hokage instantly transformed into a tyrant, silencing everyone present.

The two elders, in particular, dared not even breathe too loudly.

It feels like going back to when I was a student, when I was being scolded by Tobirama-sensei.

“You haven’t learned any balance, you’ve only learned isolation. Is that how I taught you?”

"And what's with your high and mighty evaluation? The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki? That Uchiha guy?"

"When did the village's ninjas become just code names?"

"Having sat in the position of elder for so long, have you even forgotten your own surname?"

When Tobirama gets angry, he's truly terrifying. His barrage of questions made the two elders so ashamed that they quickly lowered their heads.

Being reprimanded in front of so many people is a huge loss of face. How can they possibly maintain their airs as elders in the future? Absolutely not!

"Back then, I thought you were just a bunch of clueless brats. Even so, I believed in you and entrusted Konoha to you at the last moment."

"But you have disappointed me greatly."

These words made the two of them turn pale and tremble slightly, clearly thinking of Tobirama's dying words.

Now I've actually heard my teacher say he's disappointed.

This word is the greatest denial of them, like a sharp blade that cuts all their hard work and achievements over the years into dust.

Tobirama sighed deeply, "Trusting the younger generation and protecting their growth—that is the essence of the Will of Fire, and it is what I wanted to teach you back then."

"But you clearly haven't done that."

The constant references to the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki are incredibly annoying.

It's certainly not wrong to think about Konoha's interests, but we should also trust our juniors sometimes.

"I'm so sorry, Tobirama-sensei," the two, stunned, took a deep breath, their faces filled with deep shame.

Yes, it seems they've all forgotten what Tobirama-sensei taught them.

They gradually became arrogant and conceited, always believing that their decisions were for the good of the village.

But in fact?

Tobirama was vehemently opposed to the extermination of the Uchiha clan. They remembered Tobirama saying that it was tantamount to severing an arm of Konoha.

There are clearly better ways.

They misunderstood Tobirama's decision.

They never intended to genuinely try to retain the Uchiha clan.

This resulted in Konoha losing a large number of talented individuals, entering an awkward period of talent shortage.

"I haven't asked you about the White Fang of Konoha yet. What exactly happened?"

Kakashi's breath hitched as he heard this person's name.

Tobirama, keenly aware of his change, frowned helplessly. Even he had to admit that this village was full of trouble.

And it just so happens that they were all done by his disciples.

He has to clean up all the mess.

Those disciples are all curses!

He had privately inquired with Shikaku and learned that Hatake Sakumo had indeed committed suicide, at such a young and promising age.

The golden age of a ninja.

He could have done even more and made more contributions to the village.

He might even become an outstanding Hokage. Kakashi Hatake was so powerful when he became the Sixth Hokage, so his father must have been a very outstanding Hokage as well.

what a shame.

All because of a task.

It was just a task.

He neither completely believed nor completely disbelieved what was said on the forum.

It's true that he blocked the Hokage's path and posed a threat, but given the monkey's character, he wouldn't attack him.

Danzo, on the other hand, could very well have set a trap specifically for Sakumo Hatake to fall into.

It's also possible that the mission was a coincidence, but the subsequent rumors were instigated by Danzo and his group.

The monkey let the rumors run rampant and did nothing to stop them.

It's just unknown how much these two apprentices were involved in.

Koharu opened her mouth, then mumbled an explanation: "At that time, the war had not completely ended, and the failure of the mission had a great impact on the Land of Fire."

"The daimyo of the Land of Fire needs an explanation, and the villagers need someone to vent their anger on..."

"We didn't start the rumors; we just thought it would appease the Fire Nation, so we didn't step in to stop them."

This was also the reason that dissuaded Hiruzen from taking action.

If the fire daimyo's anger cannot be vented, Konoha Village will suffer.

Besides, even if Hiruzen takes some action, it might not be effective. Rumors are an invisible weapon of death.

Since it is invisible, it is difficult to stop.

"We didn't investigate the reasons for the rumors at that time..." Mitokado Homura said this with a hint of guilt.

Now that I think about it, it was probably Danzo who did it again.
