It's important to know that the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, was blocking the attack from Kumogakure at the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Lightning.

He single-handedly fought against the Kumogakure duo, namely the current Fourth Raikage and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, and held his own without being at a disadvantage.

His strength can be described as incredibly powerful, perhaps if he were around.

The Hidden Cloud Village no longer dared to have any designs on the Land of Fire.

There was also no subsequent theft of the Hyuga clan's bloodline limit.

It's a pity that the powerful Fourth Hokage died so young.

Fugaku was overjoyed. He never expected that Ryosuke could connect the Fourth Hokage's death to the Third Hokage, damaging his reputation. When his reputation was at its lowest, it was time to take action against the Third Hokage.

He will be put to trial in a just and righteous manner.

The Uchiha clan, who did all this, will also gain an image of fairness and justice.

The Third Hokage felt both helpless and furious; this bastard had blamed the Fourth Hokage's death on him.

Now, no one believes my explanation that it was to prevent a rebellion by the Uchiha clan.

He now doubts whether he made the wrong choice back then.

If they had ignored the Uchiha clan and gone to support the Fourth Hokage instead, Minato Namikaze might not have died.

Thinking about this made his heart heavy.

Because this bastard might be right.

If the Fourth Hokage were to help share the burden, he wouldn't be in this predicament, and he's starting to feel a bit regretful.

At this moment, Ryosuke Uchiha also asked the question that he had been wondering about.

"Speaking of which, the Fourth Hokage and his wife sacrificed themselves for the village, so their child Naruto should have been able to grow up peacefully under the care of the Third Hokage."

"But why is Naruto treated like a monster by the villagers?"

"Even if the villagers are ignorant and regard the son of a hero as a monster, how could they have obtained such important information that Naruto is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?"

Some of the clan leaders present looked quite displeased, because Uchiha Ryosuke was implying that they were being treated like fools.

They also felt guilty, having once looked down on Naruto and even insulted him. However, if they had known Naruto's true identity, they would never have done so.

The Fourth Hokage and his wife protected the village and stopped the rampaging Nine-Tails, thus sparing Konoha from its devastation. They even sealed the Nine-Tails into their own child, demonstrating their immense sense of righteousness.

They couldn't help but feel resentful towards the Third Hokage.

Why was the information about the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki leaked?

On the contrary, Naruto's identity as the son of the Fourth Hokage was kept very secret.

If Naruto's identity had been leaked, how could they have done something so shameful and ungrateful?

Faced with this sudden interrogation, the Third Hokage couldn't help but speak up in defense.

"I already had Kakashi inform you. I'm only doing this to protect Naruto."

"The Fourth Hokage was once renowned in the ninja world, and naturally he killed many ninjas from enemy villages."

"They naturally have many enemies. If they knew Naruto's true identity, wouldn't they want to find the young Naruto and take revenge?"

“Naruto is too young and has no power to resist. This is too dangerous. I have no choice but to do this.”

“I was just trying to protect him.”

The clan leader present pondered the Third Hokage's words, and realized that there was some truth to them.

Minato Namikaze did indeed kill many enemies back then.

The reputation of the Golden Flash was naturally accompanied by astonishing achievements.

In that case, Naruto would really be in danger.

Ryosuke completely disagreed with the Third Hokage's statement.

"Fearing revenge, he concealed his identity as the fourth generation's son very well."

"Does the fact that the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki's identity has been revealed mean he's not in danger?"

"Does the Third Hokage superficially believe that seizing the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is a lower priority than revenge?"

"Revenge is something only a few people would do, but seizing a Jinchuriki would probably be something that the entire ninja world would covet, right?"

"Even the Third Hokage failed to fulfill his responsibility to protect Naruto, and he was bullied by some naughty kids in the village."

"Even if he were smashed to a bloody head, wouldn't the Third Hokage be afraid that Naruto would hate Konoha Village and even betray the village?"

"Third Hokage, what explanation do you have?"

Chapter 194 You're the one who killed Konoha's White Fang too.

When the Third Hokage heard Ryosuke Uchiha throwing mud at him again, he still didn't understand that the other party was trying to undermine him.

To make himself bear more blame, so that it will be easier for the other party to conduct the trial.

Therefore, he must not give in to the other party's wishes.

However, he couldn't give a reasonable explanation, because he did it on purpose, making Naruto suffer.

"What you said makes sense, but I'm not a god after all, and I can't consider everything so thoroughly. As for Naruto being injured, it was because my Anbu operation went wrong, and I feel very guilty about it."

Ryosuke even mocked him.

"Interesting, another dereliction of duty?"

"That's no excuse; you're not doing anything for those perpetrators."

The third generation was seething with anger, unable to speak. He couldn't very well say that he did it on purpose.

The other family patriarchs also understood.

It was indeed a dereliction of duty on the part of the Third Hokage.

It would be far too dangerous to allow the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki to turn evil; there's even a possibility that the Nine-Tails could be unleashed.

The Third Hokage seriously neglected his duties.

At this moment, Ryosuke remembered something else: Hatake Sakumo.

He was a hero of Konoha during the Second Shinobi World War.

His suicide was also due to the inaction of the Konoha leadership, which is a great loss to the village.

This matter can also be attributed to the Third Hokage.

"Third Hokage, you should still remember Sakumo Hatake, right?"

"He was once one of the village's top fighters and made great contributions to the village. Why was he ultimately driven to suicide by rumors circulating in the village? The Third Hokage should take responsibility."

The Third Hokage naturally remembered this person; this person had once threatened his position as Hokage.

He led the ninja army to victory over the Sand Village, which greatly enhanced his reputation.

His reputation in the village was no less than his own.

We must suppress them properly, otherwise...

He, the Third Hokage, was about to have much of his power taken away; how could he allow that?

But he definitely didn't make a move against this guy.

he said angrily.

"Why should I be held responsible for this? He simply couldn't bear the villagers' gossip and committed suicide. Is that my fault? I didn't bully him. I also deeply regret his death."

The other clan leaders also felt great regret when they heard the name Hatake Sakumo.

This person caused a major mission to fail because he went to save his teammates, but afterwards even his comrades blamed him.

That's why he was so disheartened that he committed suicide. This incident caused quite a stir in the village.

They naturally felt it was a pity. How could someone with such high combat power be unable to withstand mere rumors?

Ryosuke, however, snorted coldly.

"If this isn't the Third Hokage's fault, then who is? Everyone here has witnessed the strength of Konoha's White Fang. It's a great loss of such a powerful force for the village."

"It was because the Third Hokage condoned the villagers' insults against the village's heroes that this happened."

"If Konoha's White Fang hadn't been injured by the villagers, and with such top-tier combat power cooperating with the Fourth Hokage, the Fourth Hokage probably wouldn't have died in the Nine-Tails' attack and fallen into such a difficult situation. All of this is due to the negligence of the three Hokage."

"There is no need for you high-ranking officials to conduct human experiments to obtain massive combat power."

"Third Hokage, am I right?"

The Third Hokage cursed inwardly, "What a load of rubbish!"

"I've said it before: he committed suicide because he failed in a major mission and couldn't bear the gossip from the villagers."

Ryosuke, however, disagreed with the Third Generation's statement.

"Should a major mistake warrant being ridiculed and insulted by the entire village?"

"I ask you, which tribal chief present hasn't failed a mission? Should he be insulted by the villagers and then commit suicide out of shame?"

Everyone present changed their expressions, feeling a deep sense of empathy.

They worked as ninjas for many years before finally reaching the position of clan leader.
