Chapter 6 The Gradually Rising Public Opinion

Speaking of which, the reason why Uchiha Feiyu was called the last one was just because of his age and his lack of effort during the exam. In fact, the teachers and students in the school knew that this guy was still very good at fighting.

It was just because of his age that most people looked down on him.

"Yeah, yeah, that's right. I can only bully you because of my age... After all, you are the eldest son of the Hokage family!"

"Asshole! What do you mean by the eldest son of the Hokage family? I am who I am, and I have nothing to do with the old man!"

As soon as Asuma heard the question about the Hokage, his defense was quickly broken. This guy has been a problem child since he was a child. What he hates most is that others regard him as a subordinate of the Hokage. In the original book, he went to the Daimyo's mansion to be one of the 12 guardians for a period of time.

However, there is one good thing about the Naruto world, that is, few people belong to the type of father-based type (referring to background, not bloodline). There is definitely care, but there will never be spoiling.

Although Asuma is the son of the Hokage, Uchiha Feiyu beat him up, so let him be beaten up. As long as he is not dead or disabled, even if the Hokage or other ninjas know about it, they don’t care about such things at all.

“Okay, I know you have nothing to do with the Hokage. Your father never takes special care of you. You beat your first student by punching and kicking yourself…”

Uchiha Feiyu looked indifferent and weird, and Asuma’s face turned pale. Although he said the truth, why did it sound so awkward?

But before Asuma could say anything else, Lin, who was watching the others, spoke gently and changed the subject:

"By the way, Asuma, you should know the most about the movements of the upper echelons of the ninja village. Do you know what went wrong? Why did we suddenly have to fight?"

"I heard... I heard! It seems that it was because a powerful ninja in Konoha made a mistake when performing an important task, which aroused the hostility of the Sand Village..."

The anger of a child comes and goes quickly. Asuma is only eight or nine years old now. After being changed by Lin, he quickly put the matter behind him and started talking about the "secrets" of the upper echelons.

Of course, what Asuma could find out was definitely not a real secret. At least the official ninja circle in the ninja village now knows much more detailed information than Asuma.

For example, what is the name of the core ninja who performed the mission... Uchiha Feiyu believes that most of the Chunin and all the Jonin in Konoha should know that it is Hatake Sakumo, but Asuma, even if he is the son of the Hokage, still does not know this information.

In fact, the confidentiality of this S-level mission is extremely high. In theory, it is impossible to tell other people except the ninjas who carry out the mission and several Konoha high-level officials, let alone spread it to the ninja students.

Even if it is just a rough idea, it is definitely pushed by someone behind the scenes, and looking at the current situation, it may become known to everyone in the end.

Hatake Sakumo, he was really tricked, otherwise the news would not spread so quickly!

Just when Uchiha Feiyu was thinking, at this moment in the Hokage's office, the Third Hokage was smoking a pipe and looking at his good friend Danzo with a serious face.

"Danzo, there have been rumors in the village recently, all about the failure of the White Fang mission. Is this your handiwork?!"

"I don't know what you are talking about!"

Danzo denied it with a righteous face. He knew that what he did could not be hidden from the Third Hokage, but he certainly could not admit it.

"White Fang messed up the mission this time, it's normal for everyone to talk about it. You know, because of this mission, we may soon go to war with the Sand Village!"

"Such a big mistake has happened, it's normal for the ninjas in the village to talk about it. Can't people talk about it when they do something wrong?!"

The Third Hokage ignored Danzo's sophistry. He knew his old friend too well and said coldly:

"Put away your little thoughts. No matter what, Sakumo is the most capable ninja in Konoha now, and he has been punished. Let's stop here!"

"Humph! Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with me!"

Danzo was annoyed and turned away.

It's impossible to stop here. Sakumo's prestige in the village is so high that these rumors alone are not enough to shake his position, nor are they enough to completely undermine his prestige. If I don't take this opportunity to completely defeat Sakumo's prestige, how can I compete with him for the position of Hokage in the future?

Ninja, isn't it better to be a tool man? Why do you have to have such a big reputation?

Thinking of this, Danzo secretly made up his mind.

"Not enough, far from enough, I need to increase the intensity of the attack on him until he has no capital to inherit the position of Hokage!"

For Sarutobi Hiruzen, he is a high-ranking Hokage. Although the reputation of Konoha White Fang is high at this stage, it does not have much impact on him. As long as the reputation of White Fang is slightly hit, he can make better use of this sharp blade.

But for Danzo, who is full of the position of Hokage, Hatake Sakumo is simply a thorn in the eye. If he doesn't pull him out, he won't be able to sleep well at night!

Uchiha Feiyu naturally didn't know anything about the confrontation in the Hokage's office. He is now full of the loss of not being able to finish the six years of ninja school. When he thinks that he will soon be incorporated into the official ninja team, he is full of anxiety.

In theory, Uchiha Feiyu's strength is not weak, at least he has reached the level of Chunin, and he is not bad among Chunin.

Although in the original work, Chunin-level ninjas are just cannon fodder, in fact, Chunin has left the bottom of the ninja system and is basically considered a middle-level cadre. Generally, in ordinary teams, they are all team leaders.

If this kind of strength is in peacetime, the danger is not great, but the problem is that it is not peacetime now. Once the Ninja World War begins, even the Jonin will die one by one, let alone Chunin.

For example, the most dazzling record of Minato Namikaze in the Third World War was that he wiped out 50 elite ninjas of Rock Ninja in one battle - these so-called elite ninjas are at least Chunin, and none of them are weaker than Uchiha Feiyu.

Anything can happen on the battlefield. It is impossible to say that Uchiha Feiyu is a Chunin, and the opponent will only send Chunin to deal with him.

You never know, bad luck, when performing a mission, look up and see: Oh, isn't it the Kazekage, Raikage, and Tsuchikage coming from the opposite side? This time, young man, start over!

So during this last period of time, Uchiha Feiyu often passed by Kakashi's house, just to see when Hatake Sakumo would commit suicide.
