Naruto: Two opponents versus Naruto, Konoha panics!

"Hey, hey, hey, have you heard?"

"What?!"

"It happened just yesterday!"

"Let me tell you..."

[After Iruka left.]

The students did not leave immediately.

[Perhaps they also realized that after graduation, and becoming genin, they would see each other less often.]

[This isn't just happening in Class 1; it's the same in other classes.]

【"ah?!"】

"Is this fake?!"

"How could the Konoha Guards do this?!"

"The Sarutobi clan...could they be related to the Third Hokage?!"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

"How could the Third Hokage possibly allow such a thing to happen?!"

"Those guys must have done it secretly behind the Third Hokage's back!"

"Damn it... how could they treat their comrades like livestock?!"

"Be careful what you say!"

"The Root organization... is very mysterious. My dad told me it's similar to the Anbu!"

"What?!"

"Why would an organization like this attack us?!"

【"......"

For a moment, everyone felt fear and anger.

Of course, I was also very puzzled.

[The Root organization... the Anbu... and the Konoha Guard, aren't they all there to protect the village?]

Why would someone do something to harm the village?

Suddenly.

The classroom suddenly fell silent.

Everyone looked at the group of students who were leaving the classroom.

[Naruto's help!]

In another corner (by the window, in the king's hometown), Uchiha Sasuke frowned.

"Hey, hey, hey, have you heard?"

"What?!"

"Uh... is there anything else?"

"You might not believe me when I tell you this!"

"Do you still remember the Uchiha clan?"

【"nonsense!"】

"On my way to school, I overheard someone say... the Uchiha clan was wiped out, and it seems there are many untold secrets!"

"This also involves villages!"

"Yes...it's that Root organization and the Dark Side!"

"Oh my god!!!"

"And there's more!"

"When the Uchiha were serving in the Konoha Guard, someone did it intentionally..."

【Well--】

The group lowered their voices.

"Don't worry about me, you guys continue."

Sasuke appeared beside them with a cold expression.

【Gurgle—】

However, his appearance startled the group.

Seeing this, Sasuke turned his head away.

Finally, I closed my eyes.

"Please."

【Um???】

In an instant, everyone was dumbfounded.

[Is this...the arrogant Uchiha Sasuke?]

Even the classmates who had gathered around after hearing the news were dumbfounded.

"That's right!"

"That's it!"

Suddenly, a girl cried out in surprise.

[Then she added, "After what happened last night... Anyway, my mom said that when the Uchiha clan served as the Konoha Guard, although they were all cool and aloof like Sasuke, nothing really happened in the village when the Uchiha clan was in charge of the Konoha Guard!"]

Someone chimed in, "Also, did you know that the back mountain was bombed a few days ago?"

"They said it was an enemy attack!"

"And there's more..."

The crowd was buzzing with discussion.

Sasuke's expression grew increasingly cold.

He glanced at the Naruto gang that had already left.

After hesitating for a moment, he still didn't chase after them.

However, just as he was about to leave...

Suddenly, the person who spoke first returned.

"Hey, hey, hey, have you heard?"

Everyone: "..."

Tobirama Senju: "You brat!"

Fourth Raikage: "Hahaha~"

Fourth Raikage: "Naruto with black-rimmed glasses is finally starting to show his strength."

Mei Terumi: "I'm really looking forward to seeing how the Third Hokage will respond."

Onoki: "That's easy!"

Onoki: "Let's shift the blame to Shimura Danzo, the Dark Lord of Konoha."

Onoki: "They even managed to suppress the annihilation of the Uchiha clan."

Rasa: After that, it's just a matter of cutting off the tail to survive. Just push out a few members of the Sarutobi clan on the list to take the blame.

Luo Sha: You can even use someone else to impersonate you.

Yamanaka Ino: "It's so dark!"

Tian Tian: "So dark!"

Sakura Haruno: "So dark!"

......

The large screen with its black border continues to display the image.

"What? What?"

"It's Naruto, it's about Uzumaki Naruto!"

"I'm telling you, I met Naruto a long time ago!"

"That was the first time everyone learned about fox... demons!"

【"......"

Sasuke stopped and continued listening, his brow furrowed.

Meanwhile, in Konoha, on a bustling street.

Even at this time, the commercial area is still very crowded.

Many people are discussing what they have seen and heard during this period.

[Including events that occurred previously.]

"Sigh... how did it turn out like this?"

【"snort!"】

"Is there even a question?"

"I told you long ago, those guys are ruthless and heartless!"

"That explains why I haven't seen Inoue in so long... even his shops have all been sold off."

"You can't reason with a damned devil."

"The so-called Will of Fire is laughable!"

"Also, I said back then that although the Uchiha are very arrogant, they never owe anyone anything, and they are always fair and just because some people do bad things and always try to smear the Uchiha!"

"And also, do you remember the fox demon, that is, the child?"

"I just don't understand why people would direct their anger and hatred towards that monster at a child."

【"......"

This sound could be heard from every corner of Konoha.

Unbeknownst to anyone, Naruto's shadow clones were constantly listening to their conversation and observing their expressions.

Write down all their reactions.

No one knew that this was their only and last chance.

In the future, Naruto will never let any of those people from the past get away with it.

However, this record can also be used to determine the severity of their punishment.

At first, Naruto wanted to kill them all, but... then he thought, death, compared to other forms of punishment, seemed too easy, too lenient on them.

[To slaughter through the entire Hidden Leaf Village would certainly be exhilarating, like a blast straight to the top of your head.]

It was only for a fleeting moment.

But if these people are forced to endure the same physical and mental suffering he once endured, day and night, while still being given some hope of survival... living in constant fear...

This is so much better than the others.

[And these people, while they're alive, might still be able to extract a considerable amount of value from us.]

A win-win situation!

Just then.

"What nonsense are you talking about?!"

A sharp shout.

[Next.]

【Bang--】

The genin, who had been indignantly expressing his views, was suddenly punched to the ground.

The man's face turned deathly pale.

"The Third Hokage has already spoken!"

"This is a dirty trick by ninjas from another village!"

"This was a serious mistake made by the former Hokage!"

"There are indeed a few scoundrels in the Sarutobi clan, but they have all been punished by the Third Hokage!"

"You ninjas of Konoha, don't you even have this much brain?!"

"Watch more of The Will of Fire when you have free time! How could the Third Hokage be that kind of person?!"

"If you dare say another word, I'll kill you!"

The man's face was filled with malice.

For a moment, this stunned many people.

[It was at this moment.]

"What are you doing?!"

The Konoha Guard arrived late.

"I did nothing wrong!" the man declared confidently.

The Konoha Police Department is handling matters strictly by procedure; if someone is injured, it must be dealt with.

This scene was playing out repeatedly in various locations throughout Konoha.
