Naruto: From Fake to Real, Deceiving the Ninja World.

After a moment, he sighed softly and said in a low voice, "At least, that guy's record in the Moon Kingdom is real."

"The schemes they employed were meticulously planned, one after another, using artificially created thunderclouds to kill thousands of Cloud Village ninja and capture the Two-Tails Jinchuriki..."

"These achievements truly deserve the title of 'hero.' They weren't faked, nor were they obtained through the Hyuga clan; in fact, the Hyuga clan was a burden to him..."

Upon hearing this, Tie Huo choked for a moment, unable to vent the bitter feeling in his chest.

After holding it in for a long time, he could only mumble a "hmm" and look at the figure surrounded by people in the distance with complicated eyes, without saying anything more.

Having seemingly finished receiving the villagers' greetings, or perhaps because it was already quite late, Hinata Kumokawa bowed again to the surrounding villagers in thanks, politely declining any further offers of kindness with a smile.

Then he turned around, his steps seemingly slow but unusually steady, and walked along the path illuminated by lights towards the other end of the street.

The last rays of the setting sun fell on his departing figure, as if gilding him with a hazy, dazzling edge.

"Let's go too."

The Eighth Hokage withdrew his gaze, his voice as steady as ever, as if the conversation had never happened, and prepared to lead the three to continue their unfinished patrol route.

However, just after Hinata Kumokawa's figure disappeared at the end of the alley.

Under the influence of some unseen force, the villagers who had been smiling just moments before quickly lost their enthusiasm, and the resentment that had been suppressed resurfaced like sediment.

The woman who had been smiling the most enthusiastically and stuffing fruit into Hyuga Yunchuan's hands glanced at the four Uchiha clan members who were about to leave in the distance.

Her tone suddenly changed, becoming deliberately casual, and her voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for Yashiro and the others who had just turned around and taken a few steps to hear:

"Sigh, this is a true hero who risked his life for the village. Despite being so badly injured, he remains so gentle and humble, without a trace of arrogance..."

"That's right! Considering his achievements and his demeanor..."

The villagers nearby glanced at the four members of the Eight Generations in the distance, their voices rising slightly like the woman's as they chuckled, "Tsk tsk, not like some cowards."

"They only know how to hide in the back and bully their own people. In fact, they probably don't even have the courage to go to the battlefield!"

In the end, guided by that invisible malice, the contempt and sarcasm in his tone became undisguised.

"Shh! Keep your voice down..."

Someone tried to stop them with a fake smile, but their voice was loud enough for those around to hear: "If some people hear this, they'll cause trouble again!"

Laughter mixed with hushed whispers rose from the crowd, sharp and piercing like poisoned needles, stabbing fiercely at the four Uchiha who had stopped in their tracks once more.

hum!

Uchiha Inahisa, known for her fiery temper, felt a rush of blood to her head, her ears ringing, and even her vision blurring and distorting.

The bitterness and slight resentment I felt towards Hinata Kumokawa were instantly swallowed up by this overwhelming anger and humiliation!

"What did you say?!"

Uchiha Inahisa suddenly turned around, her voice hoarse and distorted with extreme anger, a cluster of scarlet light suddenly shone in her eyes, and her right hand pressed hard on the hilt of the sword at her waist!

He appeared in front of the speaker almost instantly. Several villagers were startled by his sudden appearance and took a step back, their eyes instantly becoming wary and hostile.

Meanwhile, on a tree in the distance, Tianzang watched the conflict unfold, his usually indifferent face showing a furrowed brow.

"Kakashi, should we stop them?" he asked.

However, there has been no response for a long time.

Tenzo subconsciously turned his head, only to see Kakashi clutching his heart, his face deathly pale.

“Kakashi, you…” Tenzo was also stunned for a moment, pointing at Kakashi’s face.

"I……"

Kakashi Hatake subconsciously raised his hand to touch his face, only to feel a wet sensation.

This feeling, as if something had been severed, this feeling, as if something had been lost...

what is the problem?

Chapter 128 The Collective Will Ignited by Anger

"Don't……"

Uchiha Hachiro instinctively called out, but it was too late the moment he opened his mouth.

After Uchiha Inahisa was the first to rush out, Uchiha Tetsuka and Uchiha Yakumi also had bloodshot eyes, and their anger made them instantly activate their Sharingan!

coward?

The Uchiha clan was actually mocked by these guys as cowards who dared not go to the battlefield to fight, only daring to bully their own kind!

This is no longer just questioning the law enforcement of the police force as before; this is a blatant denial and insult to the honor of the Uchiha clan!

It is even a complete trampling of their values ​​and dignity!

"What are you saying?" Uchiha Yakumi, who valued the "Uchiha" surname the most, said coldly, "If you have the guts, say what you just said again!"

Three pairs of scarlet eyes looked particularly cold in the twilight, and the chilling killing intent that erupted seemed to freeze the air itself!

"You, you guys..."

Under the gaze of those bloodshot eyes filled with murderous intent, the villagers who had just been chuckling froze instantly, their faces draining of color and turning deathly pale.

At that moment, at the far end of the alley, Hinata Kumokawa's figure appeared, his face shrouded in shadow.

"It seems that the current 'cognitive dominance' has not had a strong enough impact on emotions. Is this the only level of 'contempt' one can achieve under fear?"

"So……"

Sensing the resistance from 'greed', Hinata Kumokawa smiled and said softly, "Besides 'contempt', let me try to pluck other strings."

As he spoke, his hand, which was gripping the hilt of the knife at his waist, raised its index finger and then gently lowered it again.

Hey.

As his fingers rose and fell, invisible ripples spread, this time stirring "anger" and "disgust".

In the distance, the villagers, who had been overwhelmed by fear and contempt, suddenly felt a surge of intense resentment, born from disgust and anger, welling up in their hearts.

"Oh, oh, oh, what's wrong? Did we say something wrong?"

Instead of backing down, the woman became even bolder, fearlessly pointing at the three Uchiha's crimson Sharingan eyes, her sharp and piercing shouts tearing through the evening's tranquility.

"Isn't this what you're doing with your Sharingan, watching your own people swagger around?"

"Look at Lord Kumokawa of the Hyuga clan, that's what you call truly risking his life for the village! He killed hundreds or even thousands of Kumogakure ninja without batting an eye, that's real power! That's real skill!"

"All you Uchiha Sharingan do is pick fights with us. If you're so capable of bullying us civilians here, why don't you go to the battlefield and fight the Hidden Cloud Village!"

Her shouts were like drops of boiling oil thrown into water, startling all the neighbors on the street.

The window was pushed open, and the curtain was lifted.

Countless gazes, filled with curiosity, inquiry, and even pent-up resentment, were cast upon him.

"What's wrong? What are you arguing about?"

"Sigh, it's those Uchiha guys again..."

"Tsk, it's them again. Last time they made a mountain out of a molehill..."

"My family was the same. No matter how much we pleaded, they wouldn't budge and had a terrible attitude. In the end, it was only after the third generation of the family's secret service came to mediate that the problem was resolved smoothly."

"That's right. Although the Dark Guard looks intimidating, they are actually very humane, unlike some people who just use their power to bully others in the village..."

The residents of this street are mostly shop owners who have had a lot of dealings with the rigid, strict, and unapproachable police force on a daily basis.

Minor flaws, rigid standards, and a lack of flexibility... the accumulated dissatisfaction and resentment are like a powder keg buried deep inside.

Now, under the influence of that invisible and colorless fluctuation, the resentment they had harbored towards the Uchiha clan found an outlet and poured out.

The clamor and complaints grew louder and louder, eventually coalescing into a massive, hostile wave of noise.

The sound waves grew louder and louder, from whispers to open accusations, like a surging tide that instantly overwhelmed the four Uchiha clansmen at the alley entrance.

They could clearly feel the tangible malice; the accusations and insults, like a tsunami, seemed to have turned into poisonous thorns.

Every word was like a heavy hammer blow to the already taut heartstrings of the three Uchiha, tearing their steadfast sense of duty and honor to shreds!

Humiliation, anger, and resentment surged within him like molten lava. He wanted to explain but couldn't utter a sound. His body trembled with extreme rage, and his last remaining rationality completely collapsed!

"Shut up! What do you guys know?!"

Uchiha Inahisa could no longer bear it and roared at everyone, the three tomoe in her eyes beginning to spin.

Anbu? Those damned Anbu again! Hyuga Kumokawa? Those damned Hyuga clan again!

The Uchiha clan worked diligently in the police force, but their request to go to the battlefield was rejected by the Konoha leadership, who argued that Konoha could not do without the police force.

But in the end, what did we get in return?!

The fact that the Uchiha clan was excluded from the battlefield was already the deepest and most painful thorn in the clan's heart, and now it was being used as a reason for ridicule!

Thinking of this, Daohuo's eyes turned bloodshot as if they were about to bleed. He suddenly turned his head to look at the woman who had first spoken and started everything.

It was her! That mean and ugly face, that shrill and piercing voice—the source of it all! The chief culprit who trampled on the reputation of the Uchiha clan!

"I now suspect you are a spy who infiltrated Konoha to sow discord. Take him away! Anyone who resists will be punished for obstructing official duties!!"

Uchiha Inahisa suddenly took a step forward, her voice as sharp as a biting wind, and reached out to grab the woman's shoulder.

"what!"

The woman's face froze instantly, her expression a mixture of scorn and smugness, before she instinctively let out a piercing scream of extreme terror.

But just as he pressed down on the woman's shoulder, a figure suddenly appeared and grabbed his bulging arm.

It was the Eighth Hokage of the Uchiha clan.

"Rice fire! Enough!"

Uchiha Hachimoku's cold face was equally somber, his facial muscles twitching slightly from extreme repression, and his icy Sharingan eyes were also churning with blood.

But he controlled it! He controlled it tightly!

Although he was equally angry and ashamed by the woman's words, he was more composed than the three young and hot-tempered Inahashi.

He knew he couldn't continue like this.

This is no ordinary conflict. In this sensitive time, and in front of the villagers who are already in agitated, it is undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire!

Although I don't think Uchiha Inahisa did anything wrong, if things continue to escalate, it will definitely not do them any good.

Unfortunately, it's too late.

At the far end of the alley, Hinata Kumokawa watched the chaos unfold, half his face hidden in shadow, a malicious smile playing on his lips.

He lifted the fingers that were gripping the knife, and the pupil on the hilt opened again, its depths also filled with malice.

hum! !

"Bastards! What do you want to do!"

"Let her go!"

"They're trying to take people away by force!"

"Who gave you the right to do this!"

Seeing the woman being choked by the fierce-looking Uchiha Inahi, and even being forcibly taken away under the pretense of being a "spy," the pent-up anger of the surrounding villagers was instantly ignited!

The collective will, ignited by anger, coalesced into a destructive torrent, causing them to forget the fear and intimidation posed by the three pairs of Sharingan.

They even forgot the difference between ninjas and civilians, only seeing that civilians, who were also a vulnerable group, were about to be forcibly taken away by the evil Uchiha clan!

The anger that stemmed from pent-up resentment overwhelmed all reason!

Chapter 129 The First Mass Incident in Konoha's History

"Stop them!"

"What spy? You're making baseless accusations!"

"The Uchiha clan is bullying others with their power! They're lawless! Let's fight them!"

The crowd, which had initially been observing and criticizing, completely lost control and surged forward in a frenzied wave.

Stones, sticks, even vegetable leaves and eggs on the ground...

Everything within reach was used as a weapon by the angry villagers, who hurled it at the four people surrounded in the middle.
