Promoting the Konoha threat theory, and talking about the Hidden Mist Belt!

However, Hozuki Shingetsu shook his head and smiled mysteriously, offering no further explanation, only telling him to quickly find someone to write it down.

After Hozuki Shingetsu left, Ao curiously unfolded the paper in his hand and began to read it. At first, he didn't understand what Hozuki Shingetsu was writing, but soon, realizing what it was, his eyes widened as if struck by lightning, his face turned red, and he swayed unsteadily, breathing heavily involuntarily, as if he had seen something that shattered his worldview.

"Transformation?"

"Impossible... Shadow clones can actually be used for something like this..."

"?! There's such a ninjutsu?"

"Hiss~ This country is number one!"

Chapter 62 The Concept of Color Revolution

As a transmigrator, Hozuki Shingetsu really understands what ordinary people like to watch.

When high-ranking leaders suffer misfortune, or when the heads of various factions have scandals and gossip, these things undoubtedly become sources of amusement for ordinary people during their leisure time.

The stark class differences in reality allow them to experience an extraordinary spiritual enjoyment when discussing these topics.

The greater the contrast, the stronger the resulting spiritual enjoyment.

So, Hozuki Shingetsu simply added fuel to the fire, targeting Konoha's leader Hiruzen Sarutobi and others, and using the various classic erotic novels he admired in his previous life as templates, directly initiating the first case of erotic literature in the ninja world.

Once this kind of erotic novel is published, it is foreseeable that the vast majority of onlookers will frantically read and share it.

After all, the combination of Naruto and Momoiro is just too exciting for a time when entertainment is so scarce.

In this way, firstly, funds can be quickly recovered and used for other strategic deployments of Hozuki Shingetsu.

After all, in the small country of my previous life, the adult film industry was hailed as one of the three pillars of the national economy. Thanks to the sensational nature of this book, there's no worry about sales, so using this money to tide me over is definitely a viable option.

The second point concerns Hozuki Shingetsu's ultimate plan for Konoha, which he conceived from the very beginning of his propaganda offensive.

As a time traveler, Hozuki Shingetsu certainly knew that the greatest achievement of propaganda was nothing more than a "color revolution".

However, it is undoubtedly impossible to recreate this in the ninja world.

The most crucial point is that there aren't enough naive intellectuals to hold state power, and the ninja world doesn't contain a combination of two completely different ideologies.

However, Hozuki Shingetsu could still try a mini version of a "color revolution" in his youth, for example... removing Hiruzen Sarutobi from power.

In Hozuki Shingetsu's vision, to achieve a "color revolution," the key is to start with these yellow rumors.

As the saying goes, a balance of strength and gentleness, and the harmony of literature and martial arts, are essential. Public opinion campaigns don't necessarily have to be exaggerated or directly address sensitive issues; they can also subtly and gradually change people's perceptions by gradually changing their attitudes.

For example, Hozuki Shingetsu starts with the fact that Hiruzen Sarutobi is a womanizer, deliberately making him the protagonist and fabricating a lot of related information through erotic books, fake news, etc., hiding the truth and falsehood in his series of achievements.

Over time, when people talk about Hiruzen Sarutobi, they subconsciously think: "He was a capable Hokage who had virtually no flaws except for his lechery."

After all, when it comes to important figures, people not only don't care about their moral failings, but a considerable number of them even think that this is how it should be.

Once this impression is achieved, Hozuki Shingetsu's plan will be a success.

Being attracted to women is fine under normal circumstances, but what if the person you're with is a sensitive individual?

For example... the widow of a martyr?

For example... when the war is lost and everyone is eager to vent their frustrations and find someone to take the blame.

For example, what if, in an extremely solemn occasion, a martyr's widow sacrificed her life to expose Hiruzen Sarutobi's "crimes"?

Even worse, at this very moment, one of Hiruzen Sarutobi's closest comrades is preparing to strike him deadly from the shadows at any time.

If Hiruzen Sarutobi were to bear such a reputation, and given his long-standing reputation for being a lecher, would he still be able to remain Hokage?

As for how to do it... well, that depends on Hozuki Shingetsu's methods.

As for whether this operation has any chance of success, that's too simple.

After all, compared to overt public opinion, this kind of subtle, insidious propaganda is less likely to be guarded against.

Once a noble term, "comrade" has long since vanished, and now even being mentioned is met with ridicule. Not to mention, the deliberate provocation of sensitive topics and the stigmatization of leaders are commonplace.

The struggle on the hidden front has never ceased; the battle for public opinion will never stop.

Originally, Hozuki Shingetsu wanted to wait a while, at least until the situation became more chaotic, before launching this plan. However, since financial support is urgently needed now, he has no choice but to launch it now.

So… “Hiruzen Sarutobi, enjoy these days!”

Hozuki Shingetsu gazed eastward across the continent, towards Konoha, his eyes serene.

-

Chiming City is an important transportation hub in the northeastern part of the mainland.

A thin, lifeless middle-aged man walked into a small shop in an alley with practiced ease. He went to the owner's counter, fumbled around in his pocket, and finally laid out three banknotes on the counter.

"Any new stock? Same as always, one of each."

The boss, reclining in his rocking chair, glanced at the newcomer, then at the amount of banknotes, and shook his head.

“If it were before, that would have been enough, but not this time. This time, a batch of amazing new goods has arrived, I guarantee, a brand new version you've never seen before.”

As he spoke, he pulled out several booklets from under his pants, gesturing for him to take a look.

The middle-aged man ignored the suspicious liquid on the manual, took it, and began to quickly flip through it. However, he soon changed his expression. His previously listless eyes became bright and alert, his thin cheeks flushed with excitement, and excited panting came from his nose.

"These books, 'The Unofficial History of Konoha,' 'The Stockings of the Jonin of the Utatane,' 'The Tale of the Konoha's Rooted Ninja,' and 'A Ninja Is No Ordinary Person,' cost me a fortune. You can't buy them for this price," the shopkeeper said excitedly.

"I'm not bragging, but in all my years in this industry, this is truly the first time I've seen such an imaginative book, especially the use of ninjutsu, like shadow clones, water bursts, and knuckle punches... It really opened my eyes. I strongly suspect that the author of this book must be a ninja, otherwise he wouldn't be able to imagine so many tricks."

"What a pity... I didn't have the chance to learn ninjutsu back then, otherwise, I would have at least tried that kind of play..."

The shopkeeper rambled on, then glanced at the still flushed middle-aged man and snatched the book from his hands.

"Alright, alright, that's enough for now! If you want to see the rest, you'll have to pay!"

"How much?" the middle-aged man's hoarse voice rang out.

"It'll be at least five times the original price!" the shopkeeper said, estimating the price and pointing to the banknotes on the counter.

The middle-aged man looked at the money, then at the book in the shopkeeper's hand, his face showing strong hesitation.

If I spend that much money on this book, I won't even be able to afford food.

However... after a moment of hesitation, the middle-aged man finally made his decision, thinking about the exciting plot and the unheard-of gameplay.

You can skip meals, but you can't skip hitting the target.

"Thank you for your patronage!" The shopkeeper smiled broadly, watched the middle-aged man leave, then took out a new book and began to read it with great relish.

"I really envy Hiruzen Sarutobi, he's such a lazy bum! He has so many ways to play..."

Chapter 63 I never expected that Danzo, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, would also...

What happened in Akamatsukyo was not an isolated incident, but rather a microcosm of the events that occurred in various important cities across the Ninja World.

As the starting step of Hozuki Shingetsu's ultimate propaganda plan, Hozuki Shingetsu put a lot of effort into this soft propaganda, investing all available resources into this propaganda project.

Ao was heartbroken and repeatedly suggested slowing down the pace, but Hozuki Shingetsu sternly rejected her suggestion each time.

So he had no choice but to bite the bullet and carry out Hozuki Crescent's plan, but he was soon shocked by the amount of money that was quickly returned.

"So... making money through sex is the key to wealth?" Qing pondered, staring at the ever-growing sums of money in his hand.

In contrast to the ever-increasing funds, Hiruzen Sarutobi, as Hokage, once again became famous throughout the ninja world. However, unlike before when Konoha was the center of attention, this time it was Hiruzen Sarutobi himself who gained renown in the ninja world.

With the help of like-minded individuals, these erotic books quickly spread throughout Konoha Village, reaching every household with the speed of a virus.

In an instant, envy of Hiruzen Sarutobi spread like wildfire throughout Konoha.

"I never imagined the Hokage would be so wild, often throwing parties with the Jonin in his office. But I really didn't expect the Jonin to have such a great figure."

"Tsk tsk, no wonder he's called the 'Professor of Ninjutsu'! He knows so many ninjutsu, many of which I've never even heard of. They must be forbidden techniques recorded in the Scroll of Seals, right? And that exquisite chakra nature transformation is something we can only dream of!"

"The way this Yin Release ninjutsu was used...it's absolutely amazing!"

"Shh! Quiet! Don't let anyone hear you. The Hokage might be watching you with his telescope right now!"

"What are you afraid of? The Hokage only uses that kind of ninjutsu on the women's bathhouse, why would he look at two grown men like us?"

Such discussions continued to take place throughout Konoha.

Every man who passes by the Hokage Building will smile knowingly if he sees the Hokage's office upstairs with the curtains drawn. If two men happen to meet at this moment, they will exchange a knowing smile to show that they are on the same page.

The Uchiha clan was the first to notice this, since they controlled the Konoha Police Force and were the group with the most contact with merchants.

However, for the Uchiha clan, although Fugaku Uchiha had become Hiruzen Sarutobi's disciple at this time, the two still needed a lot of time to get to know each other.

So, are these kinds of erotic novels featuring Hiruzen Sarutobi as the main character... contraband?

isn't it?

It's just a popular form of entertainment for the masses, so why make such a big deal out of it?

Meanwhile, the increasingly frenzied public opinion finally came to the attention of the Anbu ninjas. When Hiruzen Sarutobi was presented with several volumes of "The Source of Evil" by the Anbu ninjas, his reaction was...

"Wow~ This book is really exciting!"

"Wow, I didn't know ninjutsu could be used like this? And it can be combined with other ninjutsu? I've learned something new. I'll go back and try it out at Lake Biwa."

"No, Xiaochun doesn't have a birthmark on her right breast, but she does have one on her left buttock, though it's not black, it's red."

"Wow~ That expression is amazing! It's the first time I've seen Xiaochun make such an expression. I'll save this."
