Naruto: I, who fooled the ninja world, was hailed as a savior.

Chapter 387 You two, why don't you follow the Third Hokage's example and just retire?
Dead silence.

After Hinata Kumokawa finished speaking, all that answered him was a long and oppressive silence.

Around the oval-shaped table, every member of Konoha's high-ranking officials, from advisors and elders to department heads and clan leaders of various ninja villages, as well as representatives from Kisame and the other four ninja villages...

They were all frozen in their seats, as if under a spell.

Their gazes were either fixed blankly on the copy of the dossier that Hyuga Kumokawa had just distributed to them, or staring blankly ahead, as if their souls had left their bodies.

These files not only contain the preface to the scrolls brought back from the underground palace, but also integrate all the relevant information that Hiruzen Sarutobi had previously suppressed under the pretext of "avoiding panic."

This includes the deciphering of the underground palace stele by the Hidden Cloud Village.

The Lord of the Underground Palace is the one who created the "Hollow Realm." The "Hollows" that wreaked havoc in the ninja world originated from an Otsutsuki clan member from outer space.

The origins of chakra and ninjutsu, including those of the Sage of Six Paths and the Goddess of the Rabbit, are real and belong to a race from outer space.

Even their world, in the eyes of the Otsutsuki clan, was merely a "nursery" waiting to be harvested.

For thousands of years, the history of the ninja world has been shrouded in the shadow of the "Otsutsuki clan" since the arrival of the goddess of the rabbit.

Even now, in the shadows of the ninja world, the Sage of Six Paths still lives, and the threat of death to the Otsutsuki clan remains.

Behind the wars and hatred that have plagued the ninja world to this day, there have always been pairs of cold, indifferent eyes watching...

This completely overturned the perceptions and values ​​of everyone present.

Hiruzen Sarutobi needs to consider the panic, unrest, and even crisis of trust that may result from the disclosure of this information, and he needs to weigh the stability of the village against the hearts of the people.

But Hinata Kumokawa doesn't need that.

He didn't even urge them, but calmly watched this group of a select few standing at the top of the ninja world, seeing them lose their composure and their worldview collapse under the impact of these secrets.

[Your lie has been judged as [Falsehood Becomes Reality] and [Fake News]. Koharu Utatane, Homura Mitokado, and others experienced strong emotional fluctuations, reaching the level of [Disbelief in the World]. You have gained 10000 Truth Points...]

[Remaining realization points: 49041]

"Excellent, this is the reaction I wanted." Hinata Kumokawa was very satisfied as he listened to the voice in his mind constantly saying that he was gaining points.

He fully understood the devastating impact of this news on the ninja world.

If this were a past life, the feeling would probably be like...

On a peaceful afternoon, the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, which had been silent for thousands of years, suddenly rose from the ground, transforming into a giant mecha, announcing the emperor's return to the world.

Then, the state suddenly announced that the immortals in mythology were real, that Qin Shi Huang had not actually died, that he had taken the elixir of immortality, and that he had already led his Qin army out of the world.

To defend against the covetousness of extraterrestrials, he built a magnificent defensive line encircling the stars at the edge of the solar system, and then named it the "Great Wall"...

How outrageous and absurd! How utterly distorting of one's values!
At this moment, the truth that Hinata Kumokawa revealed was even more absurd and shocking to everyone present!

The impact they are facing now is far more intense than in the original story.

In the original timeline, they experienced the resurrected powerful figures of past generations, the terror of Madara Uchiha, the despair of the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, and finally faced Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Surrounded by formidable enemies, they were at least given time to gradually adapt, and their understanding of power was forced to improve in a step-by-step manner.

At this moment, however, the veil of a thousand years was suddenly torn apart, and a bloody truth far beyond imagination was directly thrust before their eyes.

Before this, aside from a few elders like Onoki and Hiruzen Sarutobi who had truly witnessed the power of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, most people present still regarded the power of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha as unattainable legends.

The fact that Nagato could destroy Konoha single-handedly, and that Hyuga Kumokawa could display power surpassing that, was almost the limit of their imagination.

In fact, if it weren't for Nagato and Hyuga Kumokawa's appearance, their understanding of power would still be limited to the level of the Five Kage.

Not to mention the Sage of Six Paths, Kaguya Otsutsuki, and even their entire clan, who are beings completely beyond their comprehension.

Now, Hinata Kumokawa has taken them directly to the "end," giving them a glimpse into the deepest shadows behind history.

This shadow has shrouded the ninja world for a thousand years, and now only a corner has been lifted, yet it has already made these elites standing at the top of the ninja world feel a chilling cold and a deep sense of powerlessness.

dong dong!

Two crisp, steady knocks rang out clearly in the deathly silent conference room, jolting everyone awake from their reverie.

"It seems that you all have a basic understanding of what we are facing." His tone was completely calm. "Tell me your thoughts on this."

His gaze fell on Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, clearly wanting these two most senior advisors to express their opinions first.

"hiss……"

A trembling gasp escaped from Koharu Utatane's throat.

Her fingers, gripping the edge of the file, turned white from excessive force. She wanted to say something, but after moving her lips for a long time, she couldn't utter a complete syllable.

Beside him, Mitokado Homura's eyes flickered, and fine beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead. He muttered, "Divine magic, the Otsutsuki clan... How could such a thing be possible..."

The boundaries of thought are often inversely proportional to the length of time.

A young mind is like uncultivated fertile soil, readily accepting new seeds, even those that seem strange.

The wisdom of old age is like a rock that has weathered many storms, every line of which is engraved with the marks of the past. It is indestructible, but it is difficult to carve new chapters.

If new knowledge is to be implanted, old ideas must first be uprooted.

Clearly, compared to young people whose cognition is not yet fully solidified, older people like Koharu Utatane and Erokazu Mitokazu have their entire world built upon their existing cognitive systems.

Faced with such a subversive "secret," they were simply unable to accept it in a short period of time, leaving only instinctive rejection and immense panic.

"What are you afraid of?" Hinata Kumokawa's tone turned cold. "No matter how strong the Sage of Six Paths was, judging from the inscription, he has long since died and is probably hiding in some corner, barely clinging to life."

"No matter how mysterious the Lord of the Void Realm is, now only a tomb remains, and it is still unknown whether he is dead or alive."

"No matter how high and mighty the Otsutsuki clan is, at least for now, they have not yet descended into this world."

He stared at Koharu and the other girl in the dormitory and said coldly, "Are you going to keep kneeling in the shadows of something that may no longer exist, losing even the courage to raise your head and face reality?"

"If this is the case……"

He paused slightly, a hint of sarcasm in his voice: "If that's the case, I think you two should follow the example of the Third Hokage and stop serving as advisors."

"Let's just retire and give our positions to those young people who still have courage and drive!"

Upon hearing this, the atmosphere in the meeting room immediately froze.
