The events that had occurred in Konoha were all witnessed by the ninjas from the other ninja villages who had come to Konoha.
Even the villagers and ninjas of Konoha are the same.
The common people were fine with it; they just thought it was a light show. But the ninjas had a completely different experience.
The more powerful the ninja, the more they can appreciate the terror of it.
The Hokage Building didn't wait for people to speculate before issuing a statement.
Everything that just happened was to demonstrate to the Shinobi World Konoha's newly developed combination Ninjutsu and defensive methods.
It was all a drill, and the reliability was 100%.
As for the specific type of Ninjutsu and defensive measures involved, due to certain matters that are not suitable for public disclosure, we cannot provide further information.
All participants were given a unified story and signed confidentiality agreements.
The villagers of Konoha were naturally overjoyed, marveling at the strength of their village.
Although the ninjas sensed something was amiss, they didn't dwell on it too much after hearing their superiors' responses.
Most of the participants were also completely bewildered, first being urgently assembled with the news of an enemy invasion.
They then went to fight zombies, but the zombies disappeared on their own. They were told that it was just a drill to test the ninja team's combat capabilities.
It sounds strange, but it makes perfect sense because there were no casualties!
A complete set of hastily prepared reports detailed the participating parties, the resources invested, and the final results of the exercise.
The extremely detailed information and the seemingly rigorous data inspire trust.
Regardless of the truth, everyone in Konoha believed it.
Lacking independent thought and easily influenced by authority, whether commoners or ninjas, they believed without hesitation and were proud that the village possessed such power and execution.
Among the Konoha Ninja, most of the intelligent ones, who knew things were definitely not that simple, were more inclined to believe the official account.
Why would a smart person go against the village? Regardless of what you think, I unconditionally believe in the village!
The other ninja villages were mostly shocked.
Among the ninjas who were trusted by their respective village leaders to lead their teams to Konoha, there might be a few who weren't very bright.
However, without exception, all the leaders are formidable in both strength and intelligence.
Well, except for Amegakure, since its situation is special.
What happened in Konoha this morning most likely means that Konoha was attacked!
Otherwise, Konoha wouldn't have been so tense, surrounding them in layers upon layers.
The leaders of the various ninja villages who came to Konoha were all quite composed, regardless of their intelligence, including those from Amegakure.
They weren't too nervous after being surrounded by Konoha Ninja, since they were all standing outside and hadn't entered the area.
When something like this happens, the village leaders don't leisurely sit in their courtyards drinking tea; they all leave their own homes.
Arrive at an open space or square in the residential area.
They sized each other up, wondering which village's warrior had chosen this moment to make his move!
No one spoke first; they merely exchanged glances, trying to find a flaw in each other's demeanor.
The smarter ones have already launched their offensive, engaging in a silent battle through their expressions and glances.
For example, the clash between Dodai and Kitsuchi.
"It was your Iwagakure that did this, wasn't it? You really are the most shameless people in the Shinobi World!"
"No, don't talk nonsense!"
"It's confirmed, it was Iwagakure who did it!"
"***!"
The silent exchange of glances and expressions had come to an end, and Dodai spoke to the ninja beside him.
"Please submit my request to meet with the Fifth Hokage of Konoha. I have crucial information to report!"
Not only are ninja villages from large countries framing each other, but ninja villages from small countries are also slandering each other.
In the Shinobi World, everyone has enemies or people they don't like.
Unlike the initial gloating that everyone wanted to see Konoha suffer, now that the matter is over and Konoha is fine, they decided to find a way to annoy the others.
As for Konoha's official explanation, not a single person present believed it!
The defensive barrier was definitely set up by Konoha, but the offensive Ninjutsu was most likely created by one of the braver villages present.
It doesn't matter who did it, as long as I'm sure my own village didn't do it, then I have nothing to fear!
Then Ren received a whole bunch of requests to meet up.
After meeting several people and witnessing several scenarios of framing and falsely accusing each other, Ren rejected all subsequent applications.
A bunch of idle bastards!
Ren then issued another announcement in the name of the Hokage, emphasizing that this was just a Konoha offensive and defensive exercise, and that the teams from different villages should not suspect each other of something that did not exist.
Seeing Konoha's shameless actions in pursuit of face, everyone backed down.
Let's carefully plan how to write tonight's report.
Ren didn't care about outside speculation; he just wanted the ninjas of Konoha to believe it.
Fortunately, the ninjas from other villages were kept in sight when the incident occurred. They could only see the scene above Konoha from their residences, and they were completely unaware of what was happening outside the village.
Otherwise, if a ninja village were to find out the truth—that the mastermind behind the attack on Konoha was a ninja from the Land of Fire —it would be a huge disgrace.
