White Fang was dead!
Early the next morning, the news seemed to have grown wings of its own, spreading through every street and alley of Konoha in an instant and triggering Tremor-like chain reactions.
Who was the White Fang of the Leaf?
At this point in time, he was Konoha's premier ninja.
In terms of strength, he was second only to the Hokage. Of course, some believed he was no weaker than the increasingly aged Third Hokage.
In terms of achievements, during the Second Shinobi World War, he led his forces against Sunagakure and personally killed the Puppet Corps' commander and deputy commander—Elder Chiyo's son and daughter-in-law. It could be said that he had single-handedly secured Konoha's victory on the frontal battlefield.
He fully deserved the title of hero!
In the hearts of many, he was even the best candidate for Fourth Hokage!
After all, compared to him, the Sannin seemed to fall slightly short in both achievements and strength. As for everyone else, they were not even qualified to be mentioned in the same breath as him.
Yet such a powerful man had suddenly died in his own home. How could that not draw attention and spark discussion?
Crack!
The Third Hokage crushed the teacup in his hand and barked in a deep voice, "Danzo! What did you promise me yesterday? How did things end up like this?"
Shimura Danzō, who had handled the entire matter, lowered his head in silence. He had not expected White Fang to be so unyielding. He had clearly pointed out a way out for him, but who could have imagined...
"Say something!"
A teacup flew from the Third Hokage's hand and smashed violently against the floor in front of Danzo.
Bang!
Danzo's eyelid twitched. Seeing that the Third Hokage's fury had not diminished
