Konoha: The Female Ninja Fell Apart After the Diary Was Exposed

"Yeah. Even now, Konoha has produced someone as powerful as Naruto Uzumaki. It's terrifying."

After hearing the full extent of Hiruzen Sarutobi's crimes,

it wasn't just the Ninja of Konoha who despised him.

Even the Ninja from other villages looked down on him.

He had thrown away every advantage Konoha held just to protect his own power.

Orochimaru leaned close to Hiruzen Sarutobi and whispered so only the two of them could hear.

"Teacher, the one behind all this
