Leaf Village: I, Uchiha, Am Done Lying Flat!

You had to understand.

They were still in the middle of a war. Who had the mind to investigate some case?

Besides.

The ones who died were merely Uchiha.

The village had always been wary of the Uchiha. A few more deaths would be a good thing.

Even if they did not die in the village, he would sooner or later find a way to have the Uchiha die in the war.

The Uchiha had to be restrained. They could not be allowed to grow too powerful.

Under such circumstances, dead was dead.

Taking that into account, Hiruzen Sarutobi made the decision on the spot, effectively defining the nature of the incident.

He could also take the opportunity to smear Cloud Village and boost Leaf Village's morale.

This was a good thing!

So, without any hesitation, he issued the order directly.

And Shikaku Nara lived up to expectations, immediately spreading the matter throughout the entire Ninja World.

Naturally, as the matter fermented, Cloud Village's reputation plummeted even further.

It could not be helped.

There were pictures, there was truth. There was no reason not to believe it.

Especially given the state of the three Uchiha corpses. It looked like they had not resisted at all.

Before Might Duy made his move, the entire Ninja World generally believed that only Cloud Village possessed Taijutsu experts of this level.

Kumogakure: "..."

They had ten thousand curses to spit out, but did not know whether they should say them.

This scapegoat was so heavy that they wanted to cry.

Rumor had it that after the Third Raikage learned of this, he hurriedly issued a declaration to the Ninja World, saying it was all Leaf Village's slander. He, the Third Raikage, was an upright man and would never stoop to doing such a thing.

But unfortunately.

Leaf Village soon produced all kinds of evidence left behind when a Cloud Ninja squad had gone to Leaf Village two years ago to steal a Kekkei Genkai and was captured.

This time.

Leaf Village merely presented the evidence without saying a single word.

Silence spoke louder than words!

Third Raikage: "..."

He had no answer!

In the end, furious and aggrieved, he smashed everything in his office.

Damn it.

He was truly enraged!

If he had really done this, then even if it had failed, he would have accepted it.

But the problem was.

He could swear to the heavens that he had not done this!

He was a victim too!

But it was useless.

In the current Ninja World, no one believed him at all.

Even Iwagakure, their secret ally, felt that the people of Cloud Village had terrible character. Every time they negotiated with Cloud Village, they were extremely cautious. The distrust in their eyes drove the Third Raikage mad.

This scapegoat was too heavy. He truly could not bear it!

He silently swore that the real culprit had better not let him find out who they were.

Otherwise, even if the Third Great Ninja War ended, he would still have to kill that bastard.

It was simply too disgusting.

Of course, unlike Cloud Village, Leaf Village's morale had soared because of this incident.

Especially when fighting Cloud Village, they charged forward with wild howls.

Clearly.

Cloud Village's actions had disgusted them. At that moment, every one of them wanted revenge.

Elsewhere, Leaf Village.

Uchiha compound.

As the person involved, Uchiha Jin had no idea just how great a storm his actions would stir up.

At that moment, he was sitting in the living room, receiving Shisui as a guest.

"Can you tell me?"

"What exactly happened?"

"Today's commotion was a bit too big, wasn't it?"

"Of course, if it's confidential, then you don't need to tell me."

Uchiha Jin could not help but speak.

Looking at Shisui before him, he could not help asking.

Shisui merely smiled and shook his head. "Don't worry, it's already been figured out."

"Actually, there's nothing that can't be said. Uchiha Yoshio and the other two died last night."

"And the investigation has already made things clear. From beginning to end, this was Cloud Village's conspiracy, intended to stir up internal strife in Leaf Village."

"What wolfish ambitions!"

"Fortunately, Leaf Village has the wise Nara Clan. After an analysis by the current Nara Clan Leader and Jonin Squad Leader, Shikaku Nara, Cloud Village's conspiracy has been completely exposed."

"And now, the matter has been announced to the entire Ninja World."

"We'll let everyone in the Ninja World know just how filthy and vile Kumogakure is."

Uchiha Jin: "..."

He was completely dumbfounded.

What was all this?

Cloud Village's conspiracy?

How did he, the person involved, know nothing about it?

Although he had indeed wanted to pin the blame on Cloud Village, he had not thought too much about it. It was simply a backup plan to conceal himself.

In truth.

Even he did not know how much effect it could have.

He only felt that as long as it did not get traced back to him, that would be the best possible outcome.

Looking at Shisui's furious expression, as if he wanted to rush to the Frontline and start killing people, Uchiha Jin did not know what to say for a moment.

This kid was far too earnest, wasn't he?

However.

He still vaguely felt that something was off.

Thinking of this, he could not help frowning.

"Shisui, don't be so quick to get angry."

"Can you explain it to me in detail? After all, this matter concerns me too. I want to understand exactly what happened."

"What did the Nara Clan Leader say?"

Uchiha Jin's tone was serious.

Yes.

He did not dare underestimate this Nara Clan Leader, the current Jonin Squad Leader, in the slightest.

He was renowned throughout the entire Ninja World for his high intelligence!

He was not some little brat like Shisui, believing whatever others told him.

So.
