After the world changed, Uchiha Feng had already gained some power, and the Sarutobi Clan was the first corrupt element he purged.
These members of the Sarutobi Clan, who have transformed into demons, will absorb the resentment of this world, making it cleaner and purer.
Another battlefield.
Some Konoha ninjas who cared about the common people gathered together to protect them with all their might.
This includes Might Guy and Hatake Kakashi.
They were now filled with doubt: where were those Anbu who always claimed to protect the village?
The ninjas from those ninja clans who usually enjoy the best treatment are also nowhere to be seen?
Those saboteurs would avoid these civilian ninjas whenever they saw them, instead targeting ninja clans and launching suicidal attacks.
These ninjas gathered together to exchange information, with Hatake Kakashi and Might Guy being prominent examples.
"Kakashi, have you noticed anything? Why do these people run away when they see me, and why is there so little damage to civilians?" Might Guy voiced his question.
There was another fact he didn't want to mention: these people all had traces of cultivation energy on them, and their aura was exactly the same as Tien Shinhan's.
That's right, all of these people have been trained by Crane Hermit, which is why they have that kind of aura.
"Among those rioting ninjas, I found some comrades who were all former Anbu ninjas. Due to some unforeseen events and the darkness within Konoha, they now want to take revenge on Konoha." Hatake Kakashi made no attempt to conceal his information and directly revealed this information.
Some of the ninjas had received favors from Hatake Kakashi, so they revealed some information, adding, "Also, the mastermind behind this might be someone from the Rice Kingdom."
As he spoke, Hatake Kakashi looked at Might Guy, knowing that Might Guy had close ties with some people from the Rice Kingdom.
"What?"
Screams came from all around.
They had considered many possibilities, but they never expected it to turn out this way.
"Is that so? No wonder!" Might Guy fell silent; his suspicion had come true.
Step~
Might Guy's body shot into the air, using his Flying Technique to try and escape.
"Kai~ Listen to me before you make a decision." Hatake Kakashi jumped up and grabbed Might Guy.
Might Guy was stopped by Kakashi, and things returned to calm.
The other civilian ninjas around all looked at Hatake Kakashi.
Hatake Kakashi's prestige among this group now probably surpasses that of the Third Hokage. He made a decision: to let these people know the true nature of the Third Hokage and the Sarutobi Clan.
He didn't want these people to have sacrificed themselves in vain, especially since Uchiha Feng's strength had far surpassed that of Konoha, and Uchiha Feng had been relatively restrained so far.
Only through Might Guy's connections with them could these innocent people's lives be saved.
Hatake Kakashi sighed and began to recount Uchiha Feng's identity, along with some information he had revealed.
"Konoha is now completely corrupt. The common people live within a web of lies woven by ninja clans. Once they have the chance to break free from the existing class system, they will be eliminated..."
This includes the darkness of Konoha, the actions of the Sarutobi Clan, and some of his father's experiences.
Hatake Kakashi spoke slowly, and silence fell over the surroundings.
Some commoner ninjas reflected on what had happened to them and realized that once they accumulated a certain amount of wealth, they would be exploited under various pretexts.
For example, sending a child to the Ninja Academy or a family member to the hospital when they are sick can easily wipe out all the wealth one has accumulated.
Moreover, despite having painstakingly learned Ninjutsu, they were told that it could not be passed on to the next generation. This distanced their children from those of ninja families with established lineages, leaving them as low-level servants of the ninja clans.
"The rioters I saw today were my former teammates. After he exchanged for a B-rank Ninjutsu, he was sent on a mission and never came back. Today he told me that he was conscripted into the Anbu, but he refused and was declared missing-nin by the village."
Is it true that his wife and children died as a result?
One of the civilian ninjas looked at Hatake Kakashi, wanting to confirm the truth of these matters, since Hatake Kakashi had once been a captain in Konoha ANBU, albeit a nominal position.
"I haven't carried out such a mission, but as far as I know, the Root has done this more than once." Hatake Kakashi nodded. He was well aware of Danzo's methods, and he wouldn't naively think that the Third Hokage was unaware of it.
A commotion broke out among the surrounding crowd.
These people were able to survive as ordinary ninjas not just because of luck, but also because they possessed some skill and intelligence.
"I don't believe it, I'm going to ask the Third Hokage." Some civilian ninjas couldn't accept it, but were controlled by those around them.
Snap
An old man slapped him across the face.
"Wake up and look around you. The real beneficiaries haven't stood up to protect us; we can only protect our family and friends."
Looking at the surrounding shops and facilities, we are never the real owners; these are just tools they use to control us.
Haven't you noticed? All of Konoha's wealth is controlled by the ninja clans, from food, clothing, and shelter to ninja tools, education, and healthcare. If it weren't for external intervention, we would have no chance of resisting.
Ultimately, we can't escape being enslaved anyway, so it's best to fight for even the smallest benefit for ourselves!
You wouldn't want your loved ones to be left without anyone to rely on, would you?
This might be a reshuffling. Those of us without control can only hope for a new ruler, one whose reign is less bleak than the past of Konoha.
A commoner ninja in his forties looked older than the Third Hokage.
