Chapter 20 Rumors? Do you want the tragedy of White Fang to happen again?
Go to the village and have a look?
Hearing Kakashi's words, Namikaze Mirai's expression became solemn.
What happened in the village?
He has been staying at home these past few days and has not gone out.
He turned his head and looked at Konoha Village outside the courtyard.
The world in the field of vision changes, like countless twisted lines connecting the entire world.
In these lines, you can see a large number of individuals with different shapes, radiating outward.
Biomagnetic field.
Namikaze Mirai's unique perception ability.
When the roots surrounded him before, it was because of his ability to perceive the biomagnetic field that he discovered the opponent in advance.
"There are many strange biological magnetic fields nearby..."
Namikaze Mirai's eyes became more solemn.
It seems necessary to find out what happened.
…
Konoha streets.
The villagers gathered around the entrance of the alley were chatting away, their brows and eyes full of disgust.
"That demon fox, why don't you die!"
"That's right! He was the one who killed the Yondaime couple!"
"There are so many villagers, and the Third Hokage actually tolerates this kind of demon fox staying in Konoha!"
"If I were that demon fox, I would be so ashamed that I would commit suicide directly to avoid suffering so many looks!"
…
There were endless filthy words and curses, as if he wanted to vent all the disgust in his heart.
The greatest evil in human nature is clearly visible at this moment.
But they didn't notice that a figure slowly walked past them.
The fruit vendors picked out the rotten fruits in the shop and threw them into the trash can with disgust on their faces.
"It's all because of that demon fox that my fruits have rotten so much recently. It's really unlucky!"
"That's right, when will that demon fox die?"
The same scene happened almost on the entire street.
Every few steps you take, you can hear all kinds of curses on the demon fox.
Vitriolic!
Namikaze Mirai walked by without saying a word.
He used the transformation technique to become a different person, as if he was just an unrelated passer-by.
But those hands couldn't help but clenched tightly.
He finally understood what was wrong with Naruto.
He raised his head and looked at the village in front of him.
The midday sun was warm and comfortable, but he felt a bone-crushing chill.
Countless twisted malices, like dense black air, rose from the sky above the village with claws and fangs, converging into a ferocious smiling face.
Uh-huh!
Kakashi jumped down from a nearby tree.
Before he could speak, he heard a chilling voice.
"When did it start?"
Kakashi's expression stiffened slightly.
He immediately calmed down his expression.
Based on his understanding of Namikaze's future, he knew that this time he was really angry.
"It was probably the day before yesterday. At that time, it was just a small-scale rumor. Starting yesterday, it became more and more intense. As of today, almost the entire village..."
Kakashi did not continue.
Although there have always been rumors about Naruto being a demon fox, they have never evolved as violently as they do today!
This scene brought back memories buried deep in his memory.
That past that I don’t want to be touched.
Namikaze Mirai's eyes gradually narrowed.
If there was no one behind such a large-scale rumor, he wouldn't believe it even to death.
This similar scene reminded him of a past event a long time ago.
Hatake Sakumo, Kakashi's father, Konoha White Fang.
That was a ninja that even the Sannin needed to respect.
But after a mission failed, he was spurned by almost the entire village.
Faced with such pressure, Hatake Saku's faith collapsed and he took his own life with the White Fang dagger he had used to kill countless enemies.
The situation that time was very similar to this time.
It seems that there is an invisible big hand behind the scenes, fueling the flames and secretly guiding the direction of public opinion.
Namikaze Mirai is well aware of the power of this kind of public opinion.
As a social animal in his previous life, he has seen many cases of suicides caused by online violence.
This kind of bullying by an entire village is even more terrifying than online violence!
On the way back, Namikaze Mirai's eyes were cold.
Someone who has the ability to guide the public opinion of the villagers and can benefit from this matter...
There seems to be only one.
"Demon fox! Go to hell!"
A sudden curse interrupted his thoughts.
Looking around, he saw four or five children holding rocks and smashing them against the window of Naruto's room.
Bang!
The glass of the window was shattered.
Stones flew into the room, causing the items inside to clang.
"Where did this kid come from!"
Kakashi scolded and rushed forward.
"Run!"
The children who were throwing stones a second ago were so frightened that they immediately dropped the stones in their hands and dispersed.
Namikaze Mirai did not choose to tangle with those brats, and quickly rushed to Naruto's room on the second floor.
Opening the door, the room was already in a mess with stones thrown at it, and cold wind poured in from the broken windows.
Naruto huddled in the corner of the bed, covering himself with the quilt, only exposing his golden hair.
Namikaze Mirai stretched out his hand.
As soon as his fingertips touched Naruto's hair, the latter's body trembled and he curled up deeper into the bed.
"Don't hit me, I'm not a demon fox!"
Namikaze Mirai's fingers stopped in the air, and the tip of his nose was slightly sore.
Then, he covered it gently and stroked Naruto's blond hair.
"Naruto, it's me."
"uncle."
Naruto poked his head out of the quilt, his eyes were red and swollen, it was obvious that he had cried a lot.
"Am I really a demon fox..."
He raised his head, his pure blue eyes filled with longing and grievance.
"Why does everyone call me the demon fox? What did I do wrong?"
Namikaze Mirai gently messed up his blond hair.
"Silly nephew, of course you are no longer a demon fox."
"Uncle will prove it to you."
…
Almost at the same time, in a hidden alley.
The two Root members knelt on one knee and reported to the figure in the shadow.
"Lord Danzo, according to your instructions, everything has been done."
The face in the shadow slowly lifted up, its sinister smile making the scar-covered left face look even more ferocious.
"well done."
He was the one who figured out the best way to get revenge by using public opinion to attack Naruto.
Namikaze will be strong in the future, and using force will most likely lead to the same result as last time.
Public opinion is different.
As long as you grasp the weak point, it becomes very simple to deal with a person.
And Naruto is Namikaze Mirai's weakness.
Setting off a storm of public opinion is something Danzo and Nebu are already familiar with.
That afternoon many years ago, he used the same method to force Hatake Sakumo to death.
Now, it's just a repeat.
The smile on Danzo's ugly face became more and more sinister.
Now, just wait for the results.
Being at the center of a public opinion storm, what will Namikaze do in the future?
"Sir, there's a situation!"
A sudden report interrupted his thoughts.
"What, has Namikaze made any moves in the future?"
"No, it's Uchiha."
