Hatake Sakumo was verbally attacked and slandered by the villagers in the village. Although it would not cause any real harm, Hiruzaru Sarutobi always had an ominous premonition in his heart, so when he heard those words from Makoto Yuhi's mouth, he seemed to grasp Life-saving straw, maybe just want to ask for a comfort.
Facing the problem of Sarutobi Hiruzen, Feng Huo couldn't help being a little bit astonished. He felt powerless before, but he didn't expect to have such a good opportunity in front of him now. He immediately said: "Master Hokage, I think this matter is very problematic. , if it is not stopped in time, the situation will be very, very serious!"
Tsunade and Jiraiya also frowned, both of them thought it was nothing more than being scolded by a few civilians, there was no need to go to war at all, as long as they waited quietly for things to subside, everything would return to normal.
"Hey kid, what do you mean, there must be a limit to making a fuss over a molehill!" Tsunade rolled up his sleeves and puffed up his chest, ready to "breast kill" to seal the fire.
Ji Lai also shook his head and said, "That's right, even if there are people behind the scenes, Shuo Mao can't be convicted just because of this incident!"
Smoking a pipe, Sarutobi Hiruza ignored the two apprentices and asked Feng Huo: "Feng Huo, please explain carefully."
"Really!" Tsunade and Jiraiya were also very angry, who is your apprentice!
Fenghuo organized the next language, and the beginning was a famous sentence through the ages: "Water can carry a boat and overturn it!"
"Ah? What do you mean!" Tsunade said with a big chest and no brains.
"Are you going paddling?" Zi Lai was uneducated.
Sarutobi's decapitation is a bit big.
Feng Huo continued: "Civilians are like water in a river, and villages are like boats in the water. We ninjas are the ones who steer the boat. So here comes the question, what is the most important thing to keep the village moving forward?"
"Of course it's the people in the boat!" Tsunade said, but then his eyes widened, "No, yes, it's water!"
"That's right, if there is no water, no matter how many people are on the boat, they can only stay on the river bed!" Feng Huo looked at Tsunade with a childish look.
"But, what does it have to do with this matter?" Zi Lai didn't understand.
"The current situation is that a small part of the water in the river wants someone on the boat to leave. Of course, we can ignore it, but the situation spreads. When the water in the whole river asks that person to leave, what should we do?" Feng Huo said solemnly, "In order to keep the boat going, we can only push that person into the water!"
Everyone was startled, cold sweat dripped down their backs.
If it is true that all the civilians in the village want Hatake Sakumo to leave...
Hiruzaru Sarutobi's face became more and more serious. If that time came, would he risk going against the wishes of the whole village and keep Sakumo Hatake?
What's more, there is Danzo watching behind him!
"Shouldn't this kind of thing happen?" Namikaze Minato hesitated, "Let the civilians in the whole village... Hatake-sama is a hero, Konoha Shirato, who has made so many contributions to the village!"
Feng Huo felt that he could make some more serious news, and said: "Civilians are water, and water goes with the flow! Once someone stirs up behind the scenes, the water will quickly condense into lethal waves. This is public opinion, and someone is using public opinion to kill Hatake-sama !"
"Public opinion?" Tsunade and Jiraiya frowned in pain, water, boat, and now public opinion, they couldn't chat anymore.
"Does public opinion kill people?" Minato Namikaze seemed to understand.
After hearing Fenghuo's words, Hiruzaru Sarutobi's heart was really clouded. If this is really the case, then Danzo's scheming will be too terrifying. Moreover, if one day Danzo incites all civilians to let him step down …
At this time, Feng Huo said again: "And the most important thing is that the greater the public opinion, the greater the pressure on the people at the center of the public opinion. Maybe they will commit suicide."
"Suicide?" Hiruzaru Sarutobi was startled.
Feng Huo said: "An upright person is slandered by the whole village as a dark and humble person. He has nowhere to justify. He can only die to prove his innocence."
Hiruzaru Sarutobi's brows were already flickering, and his violent temper could hardly be controlled.
Tsunade and Jiraiya also looked at each other. Thinking about sealing the fire carefully, it is true that Hatake Sakumo was so slandered by others that he could only hide at home. If he couldn't bear such rumors, he might really...
The two finally showed serious expressions.
"Such a thing must not be allowed to happen, it must be stopped...stop it, then what?" Ziraiya said.
"Public opinion! Idiot." Tsunade said airily.
"That's right, public opinion must be stopped!" Hiruzaru Sarutobi also showed evil spirit in his eyes.
"Master Hokage, public opinion cannot be stopped, it can only be dredged." Feng Huo said hastily.
Hiruzaru Sarutobi took a deep breath. He had been sitting in the position of Hokage for many years, and he quickly recovered. The public opinion shifted to Shuo Mao, since some people scold Shuo Mao, we will guide the common people to praise Shuo Mao! Well, just take your sentence 'People who don't follow the rules are trash, and those who don't cherish their companions are even worse than trash' as a base , Turn public opinion over!"
Feng Huo glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen, and thought that he was indeed the third Hokage, and he had already understood the core of public opinion after a few touches.
"And Mr. Hatake made so many contributions in the previous war We can also tell these things, so that more people will support Mr. Hagi!" Namikaze Minato suggested.
"Zhenhong, I will leave this matter to you!" Hiruzaru Sarutobi was very excited.
"Yes, Hokage-sama!" Yuhi Makoto's eyes lit up looking at Fenghuo.
"And Sakumo, speaking of it, he has been staying at home for the past few days, and civilians surround his house and scold him every day..." Hiruzaru Sarutobi became more and more uneasy as he thought about it.
If it wasn't for the reminder from Fenghuo, he might really wait for the situation to calm down. If Hatake Sakumo couldn't think about it one day...
"Tsunade Jiraiya, the two of you go to Hatake's house to stay with Sakumo, you must not let him do stupid things, you know!" Sarutobi Hiruza said solemnly.
"Understood the old man, it's really long-winded!" Although he realized the seriousness of the situation, Tsunade still remained the same.
"Fenghuo, this time, it's really thanks to you!" Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Fenghuo, the affection in his eyes was thicker than chocolate, and Fenghuo's heart melted.
Crisp?
Crispy you uncle!
Don't look at me like that!
Feng Huo felt awkward and uncomfortable!
Yuhi Zhenhong's actions were very fast. Almost at night, many civilians praised Hatake Sakumo's previous military exploits in the streets and alleys.
On the next day, there were many scolding battles in the streets and alleys.
Some civilians shouted angrily: "People who don't follow the rules are trash!"
Some civilians retorted loudly: "If people who don't follow the rules are trash, then those who don't cherish their companions are even worse than trash!"
Opponent: "He caused the village to suffer huge losses!"
Zhengfang: "He made great contributions to the village in the last war!"
The scolding war continued to ferment, and Danzo was soon alarmed.
