Chapter 1055

It was exactly the incident where Danzo failed to capture the Five-Tails Jinchuriki in the Land of Frost, and the matter was eventually exposed and he was defeated.

Although this matter had been kept quiet so far.

But sooner or later, someone would need to come out and take the blame.

Clearly, Sarutobi Hiruzen intended to push all the responsibility for this matter onto Hatake Sakumo to protect Danzo.

Still the same saying.

Unless it was a last resort.

Sarutobi Hiruzen could not bear to abandon Danzo.

Because Danzo knew too much.

If handled poorly, it might damage Sarutobi Hiruzen's glorious image.

Under these circumstances, Sakumo, whose "achievements overshadowed the master," became a pitiful scapegoat.

A few days later.

Some discordant voices began to appear in Konoha village.

And the target of these discordant voices was none other than the Konoha hero who had heroically sacrificed himself not long ago—Hatake Sakumo.

At first, it started among the Anbu ninja.

Rumors spread that when Hatake Sakumo was the Anbu Commander, he had carried out many inappropriate operations and made mistakes in handling certain missions.

Gradually, the rumors spread wider and wider.

Some "inglorious" anecdotes from Hatake Sakumo's early years were also dug up.

For example:

Rumors like him not helping old ladies cross the street, or liking to eavesdrop on widows at night, also grew with the wind, becoming increasingly intense.

Even if a few ninja who knew Sakumo's character occasionally defended him, in the face of the general trend, this little voice was like an inconspicuous splash in a river.

In just a few days, Hatake Sakumo went from a Konoha hero respected by everyone to a rogue ninja with a bad reputation.

And just then, a mission file "sealed" in the Anbu was suddenly made public.

It was exactly that "Land of Frost incident."

However, in this mission, the roles of Shimura Danzo and Hatake Sakumo were completely reversed.

Some of Danzo's shady operations were all attributed to Hatake Sakumo.

Once this file came out, Hatake Sakumo instantly turned from the "hero" who ended the war into the "villain" who instigated the war.

Along with it, even the contributions he made on the Sand ninja battlefield were discounted accordingly.

Subsequently, the Third Hokage appeared, bringing out some "ironclad evidence" investigated by the Root leader, Danzo.

He expressed deep criticism of the inglorious history of "Konoha's White Fang."

Finally, he attributed everything to "when a person dies, the lamp goes out" and "dust to dust, earth to earth."

In an instant, "Konoha's White Fang" completely became a street rat that everyone shouted to beat. ===== CHAPTER 1057 =====
