You're overthinking it.

Upon hearing Itachi Uchiha's words, many people from Konoha visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

Okay, okay, you were scared to death! It was a false alarm.

It's fine as long as it's not a real rebellion, personal grudges are fine.

"Personal grudge?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was slightly taken aback, clearly not expecting Itachi Uchiha to give such a reply.

"and you……"

Hiruzen Sarutobi hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Suddenly, someone from the back of the crowd shouted:

"Personal grudges? Lord Danzo is devoted to Konoha, how could he have personal grudges against you?!"

"Don't use this as an excuse! Show me the evidence if you dare!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned and looked back, trying to find out which clan's ninja was so presumptuous as to speak before he, the Hokage, had even given the order.

However, due to the deep darkness and the large number of people, he could not immediately identify who they were, so he had to leave it at that for the time being.

Just then, Itachi Uchiha across from him smiled, as if this was exactly what he wanted.

The online trolls have started their campaign.

"Of course there is. Please bring up the evidence."

Hiruzen Sarutobi sensed a hint of conspiracy.

Itachi Uchiha's answer was too fluent, as if everything was within his expectations.

Now that things have come to this, even as the Hokage, he can only wait and see.

As the evidence was brought to light, everyone was shocked by what they discovered.

The so-called evidence turned out to be mummified corpses! There were also mutilated pieces of flesh soaking in a medicinal solution, and a strange smell wafted out.

And in the bottles and jars that were subsequently brought up.

Some eyeballs and organs can be vaguely seen.

Fortunately, everyone present was a ninja who had experienced battle, so although they were a little physically uncomfortable, they could still endure it.

"what is this?"

One of the ninjas asked, trembling.

Uchiha Itachi calmly displayed these chilling pieces of evidence, responding with a cold gaze:

"This is exactly the evidence you've been asking for."

"Ironclad evidence of the cruel human experiments secretly conducted by Danzo Shimura."

"Danzo has been secretly researching the Sharingan for a long time, and he stole the bodies of our fallen clansmen many times during the war."

"Therefore, what I did was not a rebellion, but to seek justice from Danzo!"

As Itachi Uchiha finished speaking, most of the ninjas were shocked:

"What?! Human experimentation!"

"Wasn't this kind of thing explicitly prohibited back then?"

"Lord Orochimaru fled the village because he violated this taboo."

"Even Orochimaru was expelled, so why does Danzo still dare to do these things?"

"Heh, do you think Danzo would dare to do something like this without the Hokage's tacit approval?"

"So... is that how it is?"

"So, does that mean the Hokage was involved in conducting these evil experiments?"

"That's normal. That's how the higher-ups in Konoha are; they protect each other."

As he listened to the increasingly outrageous discussions behind him, Hiruzen Sarutobi's face gradually darkened.

Do you think I can't hear your sarcastic remarks?

He twisted his neck to look back, wanting to see which brat was trying to set him up.

He felt that the next moment he would be branded as an unforgivable sinner, even though he hadn't done anything wrong!

Across the crowd, Itachi Uchiha's lips curled into a slight smile.

This is the power of public opinion.

Among the more than a thousand people that Hiruzen Sarutobi brought, there were more than a dozen naval troops that Itachi had arranged beforehand, who were responsible for stirring up trouble as much as possible.

In this way, even Hiruzen Sarutobi would be unable to withstand the mix of nine truths and one falsehood in his words.

Furthermore, Itachi did not wrong him; at the very least, Hiruzen Sarutobi was absolutely aware of Danzo's human experimentation.

But he still chose to acquiesce.

"Ah... Ahhh!"

Suddenly, a wail rang out from the crowd.

Uchiha Itachi's spirits lifted. Here comes the most crucial link.

"What's wrong with you?" someone asked, puzzled.

"My poor brother!"

"I was thinking of my younger brother."

"Many years ago, my younger brother awakened a powerful bloodline limit. He had no intention of becoming a ninja, but the appearance of this bloodline limit gave him hope."

"Through tireless efforts, he graduated with excellent grades and became a genin."

"He told me with a smile that his dream was to become Hokage and make Konoha better and better."

He also said that if he became Hokage, he would expand Konoha, recruit talent from the entire ninja world, and guarantee to assign a husband or wife to any single person in Konoha.

"He is always willing to help others without expecting anything in return. No matter how busy he is, he will lend a helping hand whenever he sees someone in need, even if it takes away a lot of his time."

"But this optimistic and cheerful child disappeared without a trace after being summoned away by Shimura Danzo!"

“Every time I asked, I got the answer that he was out on a mission.”

“I would ask him every now and then, but in the end, all I got was the devastating news that he had died in a failed mission!”

"I have no choice. I don't know the truth. I can only accept it with tears in my eyes."

"But now it seems that my brother may not have died during the mission, but was instead used for human experimentation by that damned Danzo!"

As the unknown ninja recounted his story, the crowd's emotions were stirred.

A child born with the ability to love, a child with a bright future whose dream is to become Hokage.

He died a miserable death under Danzo's endless torment...

At that moment, everyone was filled with rage.

What kind of beast is this!

Most importantly, the enormous policy of allocating beneficiaries within the village is gone.

What kind of brain does it take to come up with such a brilliant idea?

What an incredible, unparalleled, super Tyrannosaurus Rex idea!

That Buddha statue at the Fire Temple should be thrown aside and let the younger brother sit on it!

Itachi Uchiha was slightly taken aback.

The person who just spoke was also a shill he sent.

But he simply told the other party to make up a little story so that everyone would turn their anger towards Danzo.

Unexpectedly, this guy's explosive story immediately ignited the entire audience.

Itachi Uchiha stroked his chin: "It seems everyone agrees with the idea of ​​dividing the village in half."

"Perhaps this is a good idea, but only if there are enough talented people."

This caused an uproar among the crowd, with complaints and everyone fuming.

Hiruzen Sarutobi realized that if he didn't suppress it, there might be unpredictable consequences.

As Hiruzen Sarutobi shouted, the noise from the crowd gradually subsided.

Despite his many years in power, Hiruzen Sarutobi still enjoys considerable prestige among the people.

Once the crowd had calmed down, he craned his neck to look back, wanting to see which bastard had been spreading this kind of thing.

They really seem to thrive on chaos.

But as I said before, it was too dark and there were too many people, so he couldn't see anything at all.

Chapter 133 The online army is still in C

With a helpless sigh, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Itachi Uchiha again.

He pondered for a moment and then said:

“I had no idea Danzo was doing these things; he did them behind my back.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a chorus of boos suddenly arose from among Hiruzen Sarutobi's many ninjas.

At first, it was just a few people's voices, but once someone takes the lead, others follow suit.

"Who started this?!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly turned around, glaring with gritted teeth.

There are bad people among the masses!

Hiruzen Sarutobi is now truly experiencing how disgusting online trolls can be.

Itachi Uchiha chuckled softly and extended his hand, saying, "We believe in you, Third Hokage. Please continue."
