Those Drawn into the Interrogation

Yun Yan sat on the judge's bench, coldly observing the psychological changes of the Konoha citizens below after learning about this matter.

After so many people learned that Naruto Uzumaki was the orphan of the Fourth Hokage, they were naturally shocked, then somewhat apprehensive, and finally felt apologetic and deeply sorry.

However, after learning that Danzo had Danzo the rumors that Naruto Uzumaki was the incarnation of the Demon Fox, they immediately seemed to find a plausible reason, becoming less apologetic and taking it for granted.

Look, this is all Danzo's sin. Danzo is the culprit, and it has nothing to do with us ordinary people of Konoha. We were misled back then.

Hehe, look, look, this is human nature. People are basically like this, and they can't change it. Yun Yan himself doesn't have much hope for them either.

However, although most Konoha citizens share this mentality, there are still quite a few Konoha remain calm and reasonable. They are still very apologetic and feel indebted to Naruto Uzumaki.

So these people started looking for the blond-haired kid in the crowd, wanting to express their apologies directly and try to make amends.

But unexpectedly, many people looked around in the crowd for a long time, but still couldn't find Naruto Uzumaki.

How could they not find him? Naruto Uzumaki has such distinctive blond hair, exactly like his father, the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze. Logically, he should be an obvious target. How come they can't find him?

Indeed, they couldn't find him. Many people searched for him several times but couldn't find him. In the end, everyone concluded that Naruto Uzumaki was not in the crowd at all; he didn't attend the public trial.

Perhaps this kid doesn't even have the concept of a public trial; maybe he was distracted or held back by something else and that's why he didn't come.

It's better that he didn't come; it saves everyone from awkward silences. Anyway, Naruto Uzumaki has already cleared his name at this public trial, and everyone knows his background and origins. He'll never have to go through that again, and everyone will make amends as they should.

So the people of Konoha temporarily ignored Naruto Uzumaki and continued the public trial, listening to Morino Ibiki interrogate Danzo.

Danzo, who was being interrogated earlier, either out of resentment or simply in desperation, threw out a new bombshell.

The latest gossip is nothing more than the fact that when Hiruzen Sarutobi spread the rumor that Naruto Uzumaki was the incarnation of the Demon Fox, the old man did nothing to stop him; he simply stood by and watched.

When Naruto Uzumaki was still a child, he was ostracized and bullied. Hiruzen Sarutobi, that old bastard, took advantage of the situation and approached Naruto Uzumaki with a hypocritical and benevolent face. From that time on, he wanted to control Naruto Uzumaki with the theory of the Will of Fire.

Hearing this, the people of Konoha below were naturally enraged once again.

Danzo is a scoundrel, and Hiruzen Sarutobi is a scoundrel too. The two of them are practically complementary, utterly and incomparably evil!

Undoubtedly, the enraged crowd launched another furious attack and hurled insults at Hiruzen Sarutobi, the various clamors almost drowning him out.

Hiruzen Sarutobi has completely given up and quit, displaying an attitude of "I'm done for, so I don't care what happens next." He seems to think, "I'm finished anyway, so you can curse me all you want, I'll admit it."

This complete surrender and submissive attitude left the people in the audience speechless. They were all at a loss, unsure how to condemn and vehemently criticize Hiruzen Sarutobi.

And so, the anger and condemnation, the outrage of the Konoha people, gradually subsided, and everyone began to shift their attention to the place where Morino Ibiki be interrogated next.

Next, Danzo confessed to how he and Hiruzen Sarutobi, along with other high-ranking members, had ostracized and targeted the Uchiha Clan, including how he had used various insidious methods to steal the Sharingan from the Uchiha Clan.

Upon hearing this, the atmosphere among the Konoha citizens below the judgment platform became somewhat subtle and strange. Many people looked at the Uchiha Clan members present with strange eyes, especially at the Uchiha Fugaku family.

Now, their family became the focus of everyone's attention. For a moment, many Uchiha clan members, including Uchiha Fugaku's family, had mixed feelings and felt very uncomfortable under everyone's gaze.

There was nothing they could do; they were caught up in this mess, and as a result, they learned a lot of inside information. It turned out that the reason their Uchiha Clan had fallen to such a state was because they had been ostracized by those bastards in Konoha High Command!

Of course, it's not just about exclusion, because...

As the interrogation progressed, and Danzo recklessly revealed Danzo true colors, he began to vent his anger by denouncing the Uchiha Clan and accusing Uchiha Clan of many terrible deeds.

It was because they heard Danzo his anger and accusations in front of so many people that many members of Danzo Uchiha Clan realized that their current predicament was not only due to the exclusion by the Konoha High Command Uchiha, but also largely due to their own actions.

So this is what the Uchiha Clan is like—so arrogant, so disdainful of others, so full of ambition but lacking in ability, and so hated by the people of Konoha.

It seems... it seems that their current predicament cannot be entirely blamed on the Konoha High Command; the Uchiha Clan itself does bear many significant responsibility.

Upon realizing this, many members of the Uchiha Clan present felt extremely awkward and uncomfortable under the gaze of so many people around them.

They didn't think Danzo's words were slander or defamation, because at this point, anyone could see that these were Danzo's true thoughts, and they were all facts.

For a moment, many Uchiha Clan members present looked at each other, bewildered and uncertain about their future. What should they do next? How should they maintain their Konoha Uchiha Clan?

Among the crowd, Uchiha Fugaku, the head of the Uchiha Clan, keenly sensed the confusion and changes in many of his clansmen. He felt conflicted and didn't know what to do.

He wasn't the only one at a loss; his family was too.

For example, his wife Mikoto Uchiha, was looking at her husband with concern. She didn't say anything, clearly not wanting to cause trouble.

As for Uchiha Fugaku's eldest son Itachi Uchiha, his mind was in a state of confusion at this moment.

To be honest, Itachi Uchiha never imagined that today's public trial would develop to this point.

From the beginning, he didn't quite understand what this public trial was all about. He came here with the attitude of watching a show and having nothing to do with me.

However, when he saw that the person sitting on the throne was actually Uchiha Yunyan, a dangerous individual, and then saw that the person being interrogated was Danzo, Itachi Uchiha could no longer remain calm.

How could he remain calm in this situation? Itachi Uchiha's mind was in a state of shock and confusion.

Uchiha Yunyan, this dangerous hidden danger—what abilities does he possess? What merits does he have? How can someone who doesn't even acknowledge the Will of Fire sit in such a high position? Sitting next to his beloved Lord Hokage?

As for Danzo Root an elder of Konoha... he may have done many wrong things, but does he deserve to be treated with such humiliation? Is it a bit much to be interrogated in such a public setting?

This was Itachi Uchiha's initial thought, but soon, as the interrogation progressed and Danzo revealed more and more facts and inside stories, Itachi Uchiha's shock and horror were beyond words!

It turns out Danzo wasn't a good person after all! He did so many bad things!

But... but... but...

These wrongdoings and sins should have been borne by Danzo. Why was the Lord Hokage also involved in so many wrongdoings? Why is so much responsibility placed on the Lord Hokage? Logically, this shouldn't be the case! The Lord Hokage should always be righteous and great!

Even the Will of Fire, which the Lord Hokage has always mentioned, should be righteous, should always be correct, and should be what all ninjas should uphold!

But the Will of Fire is actually the Lord Hokage's method of controlling the ninjas' minds! This...

When Itachi Uchiha learned this, his worldview collapsed, his mind went completely blank, and he was at a loss!

Can anyone tell him what happened? What's wrong with this world? How did everything become so corrupt? I feel like I was a fool before!
