The Konoha ninja present reacted with suspicion, just as Kakashi had expected.
As the Third Hokage who had ruled Konoha for decades, Hiruzen Sarutobi's image as a Ninja Hero had long been deeply ingrained in people's hearts. Even though the Third Hokage's decisions had been somewhat misguided in recent years, they still believed that his original intentions had been good.
He had merely become a little muddleheaded due to his age.
However, if the Third Hokage could be brought down so easily, Kakashi would not have delayed until now, only choosing to join the plan targeting the Third Hokage's reputation after Naruto extended an invitation.
After a brief pause, Kakashi continued, "The third matter concerns the truth behind Uchiha Night. It was true that Itachi Uchiha wielded the blade against his own clan that night, but the village's higher-ups had also tacitly approved and guided it from behind the scenes..."
As Kakashi lowered his voice, everyone present pricked up their ears to listen.
Although the "truth" Kakashi revealed was rather horrifying, it successfully stirred their curiosity, leaving them eager to learn the rest of the "truth."
Tsunade's expression changed repeatedly when she heard Kakashi publicizing this so-called truth.
Several times, she wanted to go onstage and stop Kakashi from speaking, but Jiraiya stopped her each time with a look. This left her unable to discern Jiraiya's true stance, unsure whether Kakashi's actions had been directed by Jiraiya.
After all, during the two years since becoming Hokage, Jiraiya had changed considerably and gradually become a qualified Hokage.
Tsunade could still endure it, but the Sarutobi Jonin was clearly panicking. Ignoring the Anbu's attempts to stop him, he rushed straight up to Kakashi and shouted:
"Hatake Kakashi, everything you said is a rumor. Lord Hiruzen never did any of those things."
"Rumors?"
