The news of the death of the Daimyo of the Fire Nation spread, and a week passed, and everyone had almost reacted from shock and fear. Everyone also has different opinions about the death of the daimyo, although there are different theories, but privately it is suspected that Konoha did it the most.

“Eh, have you heard?” Inside the Ichiraku ramen shop, two villagers sitting side by side on benches eating noodles buried their heads and whispered.

“I heard?” The person being questioned was confused and stopped the chopsticks flying up and down, “What did you hear?” ”

“You don’t know yet?!” The questioner’s eyes widened in surprise, as if he had heard something strange, “I went to the Land of Winds to trade items the other day, and I heard everyone discussing the matter of our daimyo!” ”

“Oh, I thought it was a big deal! Isn’t it that the daimyo was assassinated by a mysterious man? Who doesn’t know as if! ”

“Mystery Man? Do you know who this mysterious man is? The questioner had a smug smile on his face and looked confident, as if he had heard some important secret.

“Aren’t you embarrassed?” The person who was asked had a mouthful of noodles in his mouth and had not swallowed it, “If you know who did it, is it still called a mysterious person?!” ”

“I’ll tell you, actually-” The person who asked the question brought his mouth to the ear of the noodle eater and lowered his voice, “The people outside say that it was Konoha’s hand, which was ordered by Naruto-sama!” ”

“Ahem! You! The noodle eating brother choked into his trachea with a mouthful of noodles, coughed repeatedly, and his eyes scanned the surroundings in horror, “This can’t be nonsense!” Our Hokage-sama’s character, since he was an assistant for three generations, everyone knows it well, how could he order such a thing!? ”

The person who asked the question “sighed” a few times, slapped the noodle eating brother’s thigh, and continued to suppress his voice: “That was before, now that Konoha and the daimyo have fallen out, the Hokage doesn’t have to worry about the daimyo’s instructions at all.” That daimyo, three generations of adults three times and twice, now Konoha is autonomous, and the fourth generation of adults is taking revenge for the old Hokage, that’s a matter of course! ”

The noodle eating brother looked at the person who asked the question with half a doubt, thought for a while, and felt that what he said was not completely unreasonable, so he nodded in agreement, drank a sip of delicious noodle soup, and said: “Although it is not unreasonable, but big brother, you have heard this outside.” Back in Konoha, you can’t talk nonsense! ”

“That’s that, eating noodles and eating noodles, these are not our things to worry about…”

Behind the curtain of Ichiraku’s ramen kitchen, the boss trembled and bowed to Watergate, apologizing in his mouth: “Naruto-sama, I have warned these customers several times not to spread rumors, but there are still people who like to chatter, I’m really sorry.” I beg your pardon, please! ”

Watergate shook his head, there was no anger on his face, but still a gentle smile. Watergate lifted the bowed boss up and reassured him: “It’s okay, Konoha is an open and inclusive village, as long as it is not an excess, some speculation in everyone’s hearts is inevitable, don’t be too nervous.” ”

After saying that, the water gate was a flying thunder god and teleported himself back to the Hokage’s office. He sat in his chair, somewhat anxiously flipping through the news sent by the scout ninja from all over the place, the influence of Konoha’s conspiracy theories had grown, and Konoha could not remain indifferent.

In order to clear the relationship with the death of the daimyo, Watergate specially spent a lot of money to hire the famous assassination organization “Xiao” to start, and found the old guy Big Snake Pill, it stands to reason that no one will leak the wind. If it was really just everyone’s guess, then Konoha only needed to say something about the daimyo’s death to shut up most guessers.

“Teacher, the mission of Oto-Ninja Village has been completed.” Just as Watergate was thinking about how to refute the rumors, Kakashi appeared at the right time.

“Kakashi, you came back just in time!” Watergate walked around to the office and patted Kakashi on the shoulder, “I need you to help me arrange a big ceremony.” ”

“A ceremony to mourn the daimyo?” When Kakashi went out on a mission, he also heard a lot of rumors that he was not very friendly to Watergate, some said that he was ungrateful, some said that he fell into the well, and even scolded the whole of Konoha, Kakashi did not bother to explain and argue with them, and rushed back after completing the task with one mind.

Kakashi came back to see his teacher’s expression and asked him to run a big ceremony so that he could know what Watergate meant with a little thought.

“Worthy of being my proud protégé!” Watergate looked Kakashi up and down appreciatively, pacing behind his desk with his back to his hand, “I have to do it vigorously, show Konoha’s temperament to the entire ninja world, and let those vicious rumors be dispelled.” ”

Although Kakashi received the order on his lips, he was very puzzled in his heart, he personally accompanied the teacher to trade with Orochimaru, and naturally knew the truth of the death of the daimyo very well. What Kakashi didn’t understand was that since Konoha had already fought head-on with the daimyo and had also gained the autonomy of the ninja village, why did he care so much about the daimyo and kill if he killed, even if he admitted it directly in front of all the ninjas, why did he spend so much energy to cover up his actions after the assassination?

“Teacher, I don’t understand…”

“I know what you’re trying to ask,” before Kakashi could ask, Watergate snapped up the conversation, “Konoha has represented the light and justice of the ninja world since its establishment, and as a Hokage, it is necessary to maintain and shape the glorious image of Konoha while ensuring the interests of the ninja of the village. The unquenchable fireworks in everyone’s hearts cannot tolerate a single stain, and the more dazzling the flame is, the more substances need to burn. The day you become the Hokage, you’ll understand. ”

“If I have to give up my position and cheat for the sake of the so-called rules, then I would rather never be the Hokage.” Kakashi replied, as if gambling.

“Oh, I’m really sorry.” Watergate wanted to ruffle Kakashi’s hair as he had done before, but found that the student had grown almost as tall as him, so he had to put his hands behind his back, “The teacher disappointed you.” ”

“No, I’m not disgusted with teachers, I just hate unreasonable, humane rules.” Saying that, Kakashi gradually disappeared, “Please rest assured Naruto-sama, Kakashi will definitely complete the mission.” ”

Watergate let out a long sigh and sat down in his chair, looking very tired. The assassination of the daimyo was not the result of Watergate to avenge someone, but the result of careful consideration by him and several advisors, and as long as the daimyo did not die, Konoha’s peaceful autonomy would only be temporary. _
