Chapter 100: The Truth About The White Fang Incident, Alternate Sasuke Actually Guessed It Right?
In the real world, in the stands, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt bitter. It wasn't over yet! Uchiha Sasuke had just finished asking, and now Kakashi was coming again.
"Hehe, Mr. Sarutobi, you should know best how many things you have done," Orochimaru said with a smile. Anyway, the current content had nothing to do with him; he just wanted to enjoy the show now. The most he'd been was misunderstood by that idiot Jiraiya, who thought he was working with Jin Sasuke in another world.
However, this shouldn't be a big deal for him in another world.
Ohnoki said, "Hatake Kakashi... it seems to be Konoha's White Fang's turn."
Luo Sha added, "I'm also curious about the truth of the White Fang incident. This should be the incident during our Third Kazekage period."
The gold frame on the screen started playing.
"Kakashi... why did you betray me too?!" Sarutobi Hiruzen glared at Kakashi.
Suddenly, he thought of something. He looked at Anbu, one of Konoha Jōnin's crowd. It was the Wood Style Ninja, Tianzang! Before, he had noticed that Tianzang was inquiring about Konoha's White Fang! He had briefly asked Tianzang a few questions but didn't pay much attention to it. Now, combined with Kakashi's attitude towards him, Sarutobi Hiruzen instantly understood!
"Seems like you understand the Third Generation…" Kakashi's voice was a little dull through the mask. "You have to stop investigating," he said.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression kept changing.
"… Third Generation, don't you need to explain?" Kakashi asked in a deep voice. "Or, do you already know and don't want to explain clearly?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen remained silent.
They hadn't figured out Kakashi's intention until now. Uchiha Sasuke, being a descendant of the Uchiha clan who was exterminated, seeking revenge on the Third Hokage made sense. But Hatake Kakashi, did he have any hatred towards Sarutobi Hiruzen?
"It's probably about Kakashi's father, Konoha's White Fang," Nara Shikaku recalled.
"Konoha's White Fang... it's been almost twenty years since that happened…" Inoichi Yamanaka frowned and said. Konoha's White Fang committed suicide in Konoha's 41st year, and now it was Konoha's 60th year. A long time had passed! Even Jōnin in the village, many were unfamiliar with this name.
"Kakashi's father? I think I saw him the day I entered the ninja school…" Might Guy tried to recall. Because he failed his grades and didn't enroll that day, he was very impressed.
For Konoha's White Fang, most Jōnin of Kakashi's generation didn't have much impression.
"This is history… my father's name is about to disappear from the textbooks of the ninja school. Maybe in another generation, no one will know it at all," Kakashi said with emotion.
Then, the Sharingan suddenly aimed at Sarutobi Hiruzen! "Now, tell me, what exactly was my father's mission?! What was the mission that could bring heavy losses to Konoha in peacetime?!" Kakashi's voice was clearly angry!
Under Sharingan's control, Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke slowly, "The content of the mission was to ask White Fang to go to a certain place in the Land of Winds to pick up something, but there was actually no such thing."
Boom! Kakashi's brain exploded with thoughts. It was confirmed! A conspiracy! It really was a conspiracy! "What other arrangements did you make?! My father performed such a fruitless mission; why did he have to give up the mission for the sake of his teammates?!" Kakashi asked urgently.
"Danzo reported the news of White Fang to Sunagakure through the spies of the root organization. When Sakumo rushed to the mission site, he happened to meet the attacking Third Kazekage and chose to retreat with his companions," Sarutobi Hiruzen replied with a dull expression.
"Leaked Sakumo's operation information to Sunagakure?!" Jiraiya on the side was stunned. "Isn't this murder?!"
Third Kazekage left straight away! Hatake Sakumo was able to retreat with his teammates; this was no easy feat!
In the chat room, the same shock spread.
Ohnoki said, "Sure enough! This was a purposely designed mission that was bound to fail! It was completely a trap for Konoha's White Fang!"
Fourth Raikage exclaimed, "Konoha is too crazy! Weren't you afraid that Konoha's White Fang would be surrounded by Sand Shinobi ninjas and die directly in the Land of the Wind?!"
Orochimaru added, "If my guess is correct, this plan should be written by Danzo. He calculated Sakumo's movement speed, and then at the right time, let the root spy leak the information to Sunagakure to ensure that the two sides could just collide!"
Namikaze Minato pondered, "In this case, Senior White Fang would probably arrive at the mission location at the same time as the Sand Shinobi ninja and then choose to retreat… Wait, how to ensure that the Sand Shinobi ninja would let Senior White Fang retreat in spite of difficulties?"
Konoha's White Fang encountered Third Kazekage in that mission, but what if Third Kazekage didn't go there?
Jiraiya clarified, "Minato, you don't know what Sakumo means to Sunagakure… During the Second Ninja World War, the Sunagakure puppet army was almost completely wiped out by Sakumo. Many Sunagakure ninjas died at Shuo Mao's hands."
Chiyo muttered, "Damn Konoha's White Fang!"
Tsunade said, "So, if Sakumo went to the Land of Winds… Sunagakure got the news, and Third Kazekage dispatched directly, which is also normal."
Ohnoki remarked, "Is this Danzo's plan? Sure enough, he is worthy of being Shinobi... Danzo is really good at calculating to kill his own people!"
Fourth Raikage agreed, "Indeed, a mission was designed to make Konoha's White Fang fail and at the same time try to ensure the safety of Konoha's White Fang. As long as Konoha's White Fang retreats, he should still be able to escape if he wants to leave."
Uchiha Madara said, "Senju Tobirama, your disciple is worthy of you; he has the same nature as you."
Senju Tobirama replied, "When did I ever think of my own people like that?!"
Orochimaru added, "Hehe, you arranged a security department for the Uchiha clan to offend people, and at the same time managed to keep Uchiha away from the high-level core power. Isn't this all done by you, Hokage?"
Senju Tobirama remained silent.
The powerful Uchiha was generally mentally disturbed, so he was on guard for something.
The gold frame on the screen continued playing.
In the empty Chūnin exam room, the older Konoha Jōnin were almost all stunned. Konoha's White Fang, this name might not be remembered by young people. But for them, this could be said to be a title that they heard of in their youth second only to Hokage! They even remembered that it was neither Sannin, Orochimaru, nor Namikaze Minato, who was still growing up in the village and spoke the most about Fourth Hokage.
It was this Konoha's White Fang! As a result, such a hero, a few years after the end of the Second Ninja World War, ended hastily and committed suicide in his own home.
Later, the name gradually disappeared from Konoha.
Until today, they didn't know that the failed mission of Konoha's White Fang was actually a well-designed conspiracy!
Kakashi gasped, and Sharingan's scarlet color grew darker. "Come on, face them, tell everyone! Why did you plot against my father like this?!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen said with distant eyes, "Sakumo is not one of us. We can't make him the next Hokage. We need to suppress his prestige."
Wow!
Almost a burst of news!
Sarutobi Hiruzen's true purpose is exposed. This is another big shock for Konoha Shinobi fans.
"That was almost twenty years ago... Was Third Hokage already like this at that time?" Might Guy couldn't help scratching his head.
A group of Konoha Shinobi shuddered.
Twenty years! More than half of the people present were probably just ninja school students at that time.
At that time, they must have respected the Third Hokage very much, right? It should not be said that until today, they still respect the Third Hokage.
Thinking that the Hokage they respect is actually such a person behind the scenes, they feel sick!
Vomit!
Third Hokage, how does he have the face to preach the will of fire every day? Don't you blush when you lie?!
"Power will corrode a person...well, it will especially corrode those whose power does not match their strength," Nara Shikaku shook his head and said.
Senju Hashirama: "Oh, it feels like they're starting to doubt the will of fire..."
Fourth Raikage: "It's time to doubt it! If Konoha's will of fire really guards some new leaves, it wouldn't always be these old guys in power!"
Namikaze Minato: "Although the Third Hokage has done a lot wrong, we can't completely deny the will of fire because of this..."
Ohnoki: "Wait, I just discovered something. Before, Alternate Sasuke pretended to be a mysterious person and went to contact Hatake Kakashi. He mentioned Konoha's White Fang. Do you remember?"
Orochimaru: "Interesting, I remember now, hehe."
Hatake Kakashi: "I remember. He pretended to be a Sand Shinobi ninja and said he found out that the Third Kazekage somehow repelled the invasion of Konoha's White Fang."
The voice fell.
A group of people are all shocked!
Alternate Sasuke, did you guess it right?! Is it a coincidence?
Senju Tobirama: "For this kind of thing, if you think about it, you will know the possible approach."
Orochimaru: "Indeed, if I were Danzo, I might have devised such a plan."
First, assign Konoha's White Fang a quest that had no results. Then, find a way to cause the mission to fail. How to do it? Report the news to other villages. Then you need to continue to optimize. On the one hand, Konoha's White Fang cannot be allowed to discover the truth of the mission.
On the other hand, White Fang cannot be surrounded by Sand Shinobi ninjas. Control the timing of the spies revealing information to Sunagakure. Just enough to allow both parties to meet at the mission location! In this case, the results can be determined. Konoha's White Fang confirms that the task is impossible to complete and retreats with his teammates. The whole plan is completed.
Hatake Kakashi: "So... Alternate Sasuke was right"
Nara Shikamaru: "The point is, he actually guessed it right... the fact is exactly what he guessed!"
Aburame Shino: "He has almost no information, yet he almost guessed the truth... Simply scary!"
Jiraiya: "It is because he can do this that he can pretend to be a mysterious person and fool Kakashi around."
Hatake Kakashi:
Ohnoki: "Think empathetically and devise a set of conspiracies and tricks... This is simply not something a decent person can do!"
Uchiha Madara: "Alternate Sasuke, Senju Tobirama, Shimura Danzo, and Orochimaru, all of them, are cunning!"
Senju Tobirama: ".....too lazy to talk to you."
Orochimaru: "It's called having good brains."
"Next question," Kakashi continued to ask Sarutobi Hiruzen, "After that, how did the public opinion about my father arise in the village?"
"Danzo's root sent people to spread the news, which gradually stirred public opinion," Sarutobi Hiruzen replied with a dull expression.
"Heh!" Kakashi sneered, "In order to suppress my father's prestige, you bastards really did everything you could!"
It's all for power! For this, they trampled on his father's faith!
"Third Generation... Have you ever thought about the will of fire that you often talk about?! The will of fire clearly taught us to protect our companions! And my father did the same! But you guys used public opinion to suppress my father's prestige! You talk about the will of fire every day, but you use it to trample on my father's will of fire! Sarutobi Hiruzen, damn you!"
Kakashi became more and more angry and kicked Sarutobi Hiruzen over! Thinking of that morning, the morning when he saw his father's dead body! Kakashi felt the pupil of his left eye trembling! The night before his father committed suicide, what kind of entanglement, pain, doubt, and despair did he fall into?! Thinking of this, an urge to tear everything apart almost ran through Kakashi's heart!
He rushed forward and kicked Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo both punched and kicked. No one stopped him either. These two people who originally held the number one power in Konoha have now become sandbags for others to vent their anger!
"Oh, the will of fire," Jiraiya shook his head helplessly. How did my teacher become like this... Twenty years ago, since then he has been plotting against Sakumo for power.
After a while, Kakashi seems to have vented enough for the time being and stopped his actions: "Last question. I checked before, and the teammate my father rescued died in the tenth Ninja World War. Is the truth of the matter like this?"
This time, Kakashi got the answer from Danzo. After Konoha's White Fang committed suicide, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo immediately regretted it. They just wanted to suppress the prestige of Konoha's White Fang so that he would never become Hokage! But they didn't expect Konoha's White Fang to commit suicide! They knew this incident was disgraceful, so they immediately began to eliminate all traces of it.
The task carried out by Konoha's White Fang was forbidden to inquire about. The teammate who performed the mission with him was secretly dealt with by Root. And afterwards, Sarutobi Hiruzen also made people slowly delete the content about Konoha's White Fang in the ninja school textbook. This disgraceful history was slowly faded in Konoha.
"Oh, it's a pity Sakumo, it's because of this kind of thing..." Jiraiya said very regretfully. At the beginning, Hatake Sakumo had a good relationship with Sannin. After White Fang committed suicide, he still didn't know the reason. He didn't expect to know the truth behind it until today.
Now, Jiraiya looks at Sarutobi Hiruzen with complicated eyes. Although this is my teacher, Sarutobi Hiruzen is Hokage! As Hokage, he has done so many wrong things, and he must give Konoha an explanation today.
