Chapter 428: War Diverts Public Conflicts

The source of the news came suddenly. A man named Kaiyuan Wulang used money to win over a group of people in the village, and then let these people spread the news in various ways.

"Has anyone been caught?"

"He's dead. We only found his body. His heart was pierced by a kunai. It must have been done by a ninja because the wound was neat and punctured right in the middle of his heart. There was no deviation. This is something that an average person wouldn't be able to do."

Eagle answered in detail.

I was about to continue listening, but it got disconnected here.

Jingyi opened her eyes and asked doubtfully:

"No information on exhumation of bodies?"

"Because the body was severely damaged, so......"

The eagle was also speechless. The person responsible for spreading the news was found, but unfortunately he had become a corpse when he was found, and the corpse was severely damaged.

The other party planned it in advance to prevent the secret of the corpse from being unearthed.

All we can be sure of is that it was a ninja who did it.

The problem is, there are so many ninjas in the ninja world, how can we lock on to the target and determine the target?

"understood."

After waving his hands, Jingyi handed the scroll to Ying:

"Take the scroll to the Hokage's office and tell Hokage-sama everything you know."

"Yes."

Ying took the scroll and prepared to send it to the Hokage's office and report on his work.

As for the loss of clues and intelligence, he was also helpless, as ninjas were not omnipotent.

The people from Zhu Lu Die all said they were helpless, so what could he do?

We can only blame the other party for being too cunning.

I had anticipated that I would be tracked down, so I cut off the clues in advance.

Now the Third Hokage is going to have a headache.

Jingyi couldn't help but gloat over other people's misfortune.

He had some information that the Anbu didn't have, but he wouldn't tell the Third Hokage, so let the old guy worry about it.

Punch out on time.

When I got home and opened the door, I saw Tsunade sitting on the sofa, frowning and silent.

Jingyi looked at her in surprise: "I thought you wouldn't have time to go home for several days."

"........."

What are you talking about? Is it illegal for me to go home?

Giving Jingyi a sidelong glance, Tsunade said unhappily, "Why are you staying in the Hokage's office if you don't come back? The old man is upset, and I am upset too."

"By the way, the old man has planned to push the families that have received benefits to the front line. If nothing unexpected happens, they will become the main force in the war between the village and the Iwagakure."

Nice idea.

If it weren't for being so selfish and having moral issues, the Third Hokage would be capable enough.

If this happened to a person, there would definitely be chaos. However, the Third Hokage was ruthless in dispersing the crowd and investigating the incident while also making some backup plans.

Push out several benefited families and let them become the main force on the battlefield to reduce the casualties of other ninjas in the village.

If the ninjas from these families become the main force, the number of civilian ninjas participating in the war will decrease, as will the number of ninjas from other families. In this way, even if there are more casualties, it will not easily arouse dissatisfaction among the villagers and grassroots ninjas.

After all, it wasn't them who died.

At the same time, it can also allow these families to earn merit and gain reputation on the battlefield. Even if the misappropriation of village financial funds is not handled properly in the end and becomes a bombshell, they can still restore some reputation because the benefited families have all gone to the battlefield.

Even if we can't say that the merits and demerits offset each other, at least it can ease the situation.

It will not cause the people of these families to become rats crossing the street, and it will also save some face for these old guys.

The prerequisite is that in the war against the Iwagakure, the village must fight beautifully.

In addition to these factors, launching a war immediately is also the best way to divert conflicts outward.

Before the war starts, the villagers will have a strong anti-war sentiment. Once the war starts, even if they are not happy, the villagers will endure it.

During this period, the Third Hokage and others actively admitted their mistakes, apologized, and compensated, and a series of measures were taken.

Maybe it will really help the Third Hokage to get through this difficult time smoothly.

"Your teacher has a really big heart."

After seeing clearly the arrangements made by the Third Hokage, even though Jingyi really disliked the Third Hokage, he had to admire him. This old guy was really capable.

Do you need to say this?

If he doesn't do this, what other options does he have?

Tsunade was helpless.

She didn't want the worst to happen.

"By the way, Mitomon En became the commander-in-chief of this war........."

"Great! You can do good deeds and avoid being attacked by public opinion. What about the other one?"

Jingyi couldn't help but applaud the Third Hokage. This arrangement was simply amazing.

But one has been arranged, what about the other one?

No, there are two. Danzo Shimura is closing the door to visitors. Maybe nothing happened before. If the news of misappropriation of financial funds comes to light, he will be implicated. The Third Hokage can't take care of him at this time.

Since he can't take care of it, it means that Danzo Shimura is in trouble.

What do you say?

Tsunade said she didn't want to answer this question.

Isn't this obvious?

The reason why Mizuto Kado En can be sent to the front-line battlefield is because Mizuto Kado En has the ability to do so. As for Utane Koharu... forget it, if she doesn't cause trouble, the Third Hokage will just say Amitabha.

The premise of all this is to be based on victory in the war.

If the war goes badly or if they lose, then no matter how brilliant the Third Hokage's arrangements are today, it will be just as tragic when the time comes.

The commotion in Konoha was quite big.

If it were peacetime, it would definitely attract the attention of the ninja world and make everyone look at Konoha. Unfortunately, the Ninja War was raging and not many people cared about what happened in Konoha at this time.

Even Konoha's ally, the Cloud Village, had no interest in this matter. They just wanted to know when Konoha and the Sand Village would take action.

You are short of supplies, and the Cloud Ninja Village has sent the supplies over. So isn't it time for you to take action?

We gave money and supplies to you, but your two villages are slow to act. This is outrageous.

If the war situation on the front line hadn't been so tense, the Third Raikage would even want to come to Konoha in person to ask what kind of planes Konoha was developing.

My Cloud Village is fighting a life-and-death battle with the Mist Village and the Rock Village. As our allies, you have collected the supplies but have not made any moves. Are you planning to take advantage of our Cloud Village?
