They All Wanted to Figure Out Yun Yan's Background
Hiruzen Sarutobi bowed deeply and remained so for a long time until his back could no longer bear it, at which point he slowly rose.
Standing on the judge's platform, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked sadly around at the Konoha citizens below, but ultimately said nothing, turned and walked towards the platform, and left.
After Hiruzen Sarutobi left, the large crowd of Konoha citizens below began to whisper among themselves. Most of them were discussing Hiruzen Sarutobi's situation, and their feelings were mostly quite complicated.
However, some of them, especially the heads of the ninja clans, were subtly observing Yun Yan, who was still sitting above them, because they really couldn't figure out where Yun Yan came from.
Moreover, the public trial has ended today, and these people have seen it from beginning to end and have noticed some clues.
On the surface, this public trial was presided over by Hiruzen Sarutobi, but in reality, Hiruzen Sarutobi was also among those being tried. So, strictly speaking, it was Yun Yan who controlled the conduct of this public trial.
It's possible that Yun Yan initiated this public trial himself, because such a thing as a public trial is unheard of in Konoha's history, and this style is definitely not like Hiruzen Sarutobi's style.
He controlled the entire process, remaining silent throughout, yet he managed the pace and details of the trial. Hiruzen Sarutobi, on the other hand, became a figure even less capable than the host.
How could Yun Yan, upon closer examination, not inspire fear? Therefore, these observant individuals began to observe Yun Yan closely, feeling both curiosity and apprehension towards Yun Yan.
Under such gazes, Yun Yan almost instantly understood what these intelligent people were thinking.
With a smirk and a disdainful laugh, Yun Yan ignored them completely. He stood up and left decisively and gracefully, stepping off the judge's bench.
As soon as Yun Yan left, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura could finally breathe a sigh of relief. They didn't care about anything else and fled as if they were running away, quickly running off the judge's bench.
In an instant, there was no one else left on the judge's bench, and the public trial came to a complete end.
Immediately afterwards, Anbu Ninja appeared from all directions, and these Anbu Ninja seemed to have become laborers, beginning to dismantle the hastily erected trial platform.
Seeing so many Konoha citizens watching, wow, even the trial bench was being dismantled; the public trial was clearly over.
Having realized this, the Konoha citizens had no reason to stay any longer. They left in twos and threes, still discussing the unprecedented public trial as they departed.
Although the public trial has ended, the profound impact it has caused is only just beginning.
First and foremost are the Konoha citizens who participated in this public trial from beginning to end. The emotions of so many Konoha citizens today can be described as a rollercoaster. They have finally truly learned about the dirty secrets of Konoha, and therefore they are angry and indignant.
Fortunately, the public trial ended well. Danzo is finished, and this culprit and instigator will soon meet his end. As for the other three old guys, they will probably pay the price they deserve.
The current situation is that the entire village of Konoha is abuzz with discussion about this public hearing. People's emotions have not subsided, and they are still recounting what happened today.
Looking around, the entire Konoha was filled with people recounting the day's events. They were all in different moods and had different spirits, constantly reviewing the public trial that day, which had clearly stirred up a new wave of discussion.
Aside from the widespread discussion about these matters, the ordinary citizens and ninjas of Konoha are now most looking forward to Danzo's execution tomorrow!
Danzo must die! He'll die tomorrow!
This was such an important event, a truly historic moment for Konoha. Almost the entire population of Konoha decided that they would go to the Memorial Stone the next day, no matter what, to witness Danzo's death with their own eyes.
They probably wouldn't be satisfied unless they witnessed Danzo's death firsthand, and they probably wouldn't be able to sleep well. So, the people of Konoha absolutely must witness this historic moment tomorrow.
While ordinary citizens and ninjas of Konoha reacted in one way, some Konoha ninja clans, including their leaders, had a different reaction.
After the public trial ended, these people almost tacitly returned to their homes immediately.
Upon returning, the seasoned ninjas who had fought alone began to mobilize their connections to gather information from higher-ups, trying to figure out the real reasons behind this public trial, especially Yun Yan's situation.
After the clan ninjas returned to the clan, they were immediately summoned by the clan head and elders for a secret meeting. The meeting discussed similar matters, including the reasons behind the public trial and Yun Yan's situation.
The clan ninjas were unaware of the reasons behind the public trial; they wanted to find out later.
However, Yun Yan's situation was clearly a very important matter that these clan ninjas urgently needed to understand.
First and foremost, it is certain that Yun Yan's situation is unusual, and his identity is quite extraordinary, as can be seen simply from the fact that he was able to sit next to Hiruzen Sarutobi on the trial platform.
Besides, the clan's ninjas could also see that Yun Yan's abilities and role were extraordinary, and that this public trial might have been orchestrated by him.
Furthermore, the clan's ninjas speculated that, although they didn't know exactly what was going on with Yun Yan, just when it seemed that the Third Hokage and the three elders of Konoha were about to be crippled, this person had suddenly appeared.
Another noteworthy point is that this person's surname is Uchiha, and he seems to be a member of the Uchiha Clan, but strangely, the Uchiha Clan seems to know nothing about him.
Because it involved the Uchiha Clan, the clan's ninjas immediately sensed that the situation had become even more complicated.
The public trial revealed a great deal, which will have a significant impact on the Uchiha Clan. The Uchiha Clan was already marginalized, and this incident, coupled with Uchiha Yun Yan's actions, raises questions about their future and how they will respond.
Completely unaware of the inside story and unable to predict what will happen in the future, the various families were all extremely distressed and had no idea what to do.
But regardless, one thing is certain: we must first find out about Yun Yan's situation.
As a result, all the major clans dispatched their most capable ninjas to investigate Yun Yan from three directions: the Konoha High Command, the Konoha community, and the Uchiha Clan.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Yun Yan was unaware that these families were spying on him, but even if he knew, he wouldn't care, because he was already prepared.
He knew that by stepping into the limelight this time, he was essentially exposed to everyone, and those with ulterior motives would definitely try their best to figure him out, but that wasn't the most important thing.
The public trial was over, and Yun Yan had completed one of his tasks. He leisurely planned to go home, avoiding attention.
However, on his way home, Yun Yan happened to pass by Kakashi's house and glanced over there. He noticed that something was wrong with Kakashi's house.
At this moment, Kakashi was sitting on the roof of his house, holding a bottle of liquor, looking like a decadent middle-aged man, silently chugging the liquor.
Looking at Kakashi from afar, Yun Yan felt a pang of unease.
He could understand why Kakashi reacted that way, because during this public trial, through the interrogation of Danzo, the things that happened to his father, Hatake Sakumo, back then were completely exposed and he was completely exonerated.
The matter of Kakashi's father remains a deep-seated issue for Kakashi.
This matter was completely overturned, and the people of Konoha finally knew what kind of person his father was. Kakashi's long-cherished wish was fulfilled, and his long-standing inner conflict was resolved.
This has indeed caused Kakashi to be in a bad mood, so he's drowning his sorrows in alcohol... or perhaps he's venting his frustrations through alcohol?
To be honest, Yun Yan had never seen Kakashi when he was drinking. Not only had he never seen him, but Yun Yan had never even imagined it.
Especially when this guy was drunk on his roof, he completely let loose, not even wearing the two or more layers of masks he usually wore, and just drinking on the roof with his face bare!
Seeing Kakashi like this, Yun Yan was a little worried. After thinking about it, he decided to go and check on him, lest Kakashi really do something rash.
