Comparison of the two Hokage: Both ninja worlds are devastated.

"That probably won't look good."

Minato Namikaze chuckled, while Jiraiya seemed lost in thought.

Chapter 162 The Shadow of the Pot Jumps Up and Down

Once this plot unfolds,

Others haven't reacted much yet.

A well-known figure who had previously kept a low profile suddenly jumped out with a face full of grief and indignation.

Shimura Danzo (the ghost):

"You see now, right? I'm innocent, I'm innocent!"

I'm so frustrated! My two most trusted right-hand men turned out to be people from Uehara Siming's faction.

They used my money, consumed my resources, mobilized my troops, and occupied my bases.

Then they used my name to do bad things everywhere, and then tried to pin the blame on me.

Shimura Danzo (the ghost):

"I schemed and plotted to line my own pockets, stealing, robbing, and swindling, and became Hiruzen Sarutobi's henchman."

It took countless resources and money to build this base.

They risked their lives searching the entire ninja world for bloodline limits and special talents, and devoted themselves to training them.

There are also the intelligence networks and channels I established, and the top-tier biotechnology laboratories I built.

The various ninja techniques and secret arts I collected, the Book of Sealing I secretly copied

I've worked hard for over a decade, and in the end, it all benefited Uehara Siming.

Shimura Danzo (the ghost):

"Who would have thought, who would have thought that he could even break the curse seal invented by the teacher?"

I thought that with the cursed seal controlling me, my subordinates would never dare to betray me, so I didn't even have any wariness towards them.

I never imagined it would end like this. I regret it so much.

Shimura Danzo (the ghost):

"You call me the Darkness of the Ninja World, but Uehara Shinmei is clearly a thousand times darker than me."

This person has absolutely no conscience; he killed someone and then tried to destroy their spirit—it's utterly despicable.

……

Danzo Shimura repeatedly protested his innocence.

It was a truly moving performance, filled with emotion and tears, deeply touching the heart.

However, the audience in both ninja worlds didn't seem to be buying it.

"I don't know why, I just want to laugh."

"Strange, why do I find it increasingly enjoyable to watch?"

"We ninjas are professionally trained, and we won't laugh no matter how funny it is, unless we can't help it, hahaha, hahahahahaha."

"Danzo, Danzo, you've finally met your match?"

"Well done. People like this need to be dealt with severely, the more severe the better."

"Without Danzo's interference, Konoha is indeed incredibly prosperous."

"The Hokage is right. To deal with evil people, you have to be even more evil than them."

……

Return video.

With the addition of the root,

In addition, many members of the Uehara faction turned against them, some even extinguishing their own power.

The public opinion situation, which was initially somewhat controversial but had not yet escalated into a major storm, instantly became completely one-sided.

Moreover, it is developing at a terrifying speed that even the instigators could not have imagined.

There's a saying that the eyes of the masses are discerning.

But when people gather into a group...

In reality, most of the time it is blind and herd mentality.

Because when most people around you share the same opinion on something, or when all the voices you hear are commenting in the same direction,

Even if they have different opinions, they will still verbally agree with them.

Especially since these opinions and comments tend to be negative.

When everyone was indignant and loudly condemning this,

This phenomenon becomes even more obvious.

No one wants to be seen as an oddball by their peers, nor do they want to be perceived by those around them as having problems with their thoughts, values, or beliefs.

They didn't want to face the "cyberbullying" that attacked them from all sides.

Everyone is so angry and condemning him, how dare you openly speak up for him?

By standing out, one might really become a target for criticism.

If I can't do anything to Uehara Siming, can't I at least do something to you?

It is not uncommon for such incidents to turn against each other and become targets of public anger.

In addition, what everyone was worried about before,

What if I criticize the other person like this, and the slapping maniac comes back to life?

This worry gradually disappeared over time, and Uehara Siming herself did not seem to have any extreme reaction.

With a variety of reasons at play, the public outcry grew louder and louder.

It was so large that even Hiruzen Sarutobi himself hadn't expected it.

Until a few days later,

Suddenly, earth-shattering shouts of battle erupted from the gates of the Uchiha clan compound.

A piece of news that sent chills down everyone's spines and sent a shiver down their spines was released.

Uehara Shinmei forcibly stormed into the Uchiha clan, causing heavy casualties to this ancient and powerful family.

Everyone was stunned by this news.

All sound in Konoha came to an abrupt halt in an instant.

Everyone, including F4 themselves,

They all seemed to have accidentally committed a terrible disaster, and suddenly became extremely silent.

Driven by this trouble-making mentality,

In addition, there was the immense fear that Uehara Siming might come to retaliate against him.

And what about the Uchiha clan? After suffering such a huge loss, won't they take their anger out on those who started this trouble?

What about the village? What if it's used to quell the anger of the Uchiha and Uehara Shimei?

What if someone turns around and tries to take the blame, only to end up dealing with you instead?

Very quickly, with a snap.

Public opinion took a complete 180-degree turn.

Uehara Siming? Possesses a great heart, capable of risking everything for a beautiful woman.

What can people do in that situation? They can't just abandon their loved ones, can they?

Uchiha Mikoto? A woman of passion and unwavering love, a remarkable woman of the new era.

Such sincere feelings were described as shameless. Who is shameless here?

Hiruzen Sarutobi? Danzo Shimura? Morally corrupt schemers.

What business is it of yours if a young couple is dating? You've really lost all sense of shame for the sake of power.

"Hei~tui, tui, tui, tui, disgusting."

……

At the top of the Hokage Rock,

Jiraiya gazed with a complex expression at Konoha below, and at the skyscraper that towered even higher than his line of sight.

Uehara Shimei returned unscathed from the Uchiha clan, and the village failed to take any effective countermeasures.

He knew it,

The thing I worried about many years ago is finally about to become a reality.

His teacher's life was probably already on a countdown.

For Uehara Shimei, the current Hokage position is nothing more than a hat she can wear at any time.

Whether to wear it or not, and when to wear it, is entirely up to him.

As a core member of the Uehara Siming circle

Jiraiya was well aware of his disciple's plan.

The option of inheriting power directly from the third generation was never even on the other person's mind.

Or rather, even if Hiruzen Sarutobi wanted to voluntarily relinquish that position through a normal handover process,

Uehara Shinmei would never agree to that.

What he needs to do is completely dismantle and eliminate all the influence of the previous generation.

Reallocate resources and restructure power.
