Stone Rain of Konoha

Everyone was talking and laughing, and soon integrated into the harmonious atmosphere of the store.

Gradually, the team of ninjas also heard some discordant sounds, which to be precise should be intelligence.

"Have you heard..."

"What did you hear?"

The man pointed to the sky and said cautiously: "The adult above us was arrested. I heard that Konoha didn't have key evidence, so they just forcibly arrested him."

"No way? Isn't this a violation of the law?"

"What do you know? The law was made by these people. The law can only control us poor people, but it can also control the officials above us?"

The man said with some humor: "What did the adult above us do? Don't you know that he was caught? Isn't it a good thing?"

"You are being superficial. The people of Konoha can arrest people without any evidence. Although that adult deserves it, he can also arrest anyone without any evidence next time. I am afraid that one day it will fall on us."

"You're laughing me to death. Who are you? This kind of thing can't happen to us. Different classes mean different people. Why do you need to catch us to deal with us? Anyway, that scumbag has been caught. Isn’t it a good thing? What are you worrying about here?”

"People above know the law and break the law without going through formal procedures, so aren't these laws and regulations in vain? Even if a series of laws are promulgated that are beneficial to poor people like you and me, the people above will just wave their sleeves and say no, let me tell you , why don’t you understand?”

"If you say so, it seems so."

These gossips naturally fell into the ears of the four people in the team.

"It's strange, the teacher shouldn't be so reckless."

Sarutobi Asuma muttered to himself in confusion.

Kakashi glanced at him and said, "Stop talking. When we take him back, we will naturally know the reason. Set off as soon as you are full."

With that said, everyone said goodbye to the boss and paid the bill. The old lady wanted to give everyone a free bill, but when they turned around, a few people had already left the shop, and no one was even seen.

Along the way, there were more and more such rumors. The streets and alleys and entertainment venues on the streets were filled with the same remarks just now.

When this kind of public opinion increases, it actually covers up what crazy things the mayor above has done.

Public opinion fell entirely on Konoha's head.

This is someone secretly causing trouble.

The middle-aged man naturally knew the reason for this and couldn't help but smile: "Even the Fire Nation faces the same troubles. The most dangerous person is never the external enemy, but the parasite within the body."

Sarutobi Asuma pushed the middle-aged man and said, "Stop talking crazy here. These things will calm down soon."

"Just calming down is not enough. We can never kill all the traitors."

Asuma turned his head, no longer wanting to talk to this sinister four-eyed boy.

Everyone was just silent along the way.

During this fast journey, the sun soon set on the cliffs on the horizon, and the setting sun gradually disappeared with a dim halo.

The distance to Konoha is also getting closer.

At this time, in Konoha Village:

"Fifdai, this is obviously someone who is doing something secretly. As long as this public opinion persists, it will be difficult for us to arrest these people again."

"Really, if this thing was done in secret, they could still do it, but now these people don't even have the shame to expose everything directly. Although they are dirty, they are only probably dirty, and we are indeed jumping To arrest them after going through legal procedures will make things difficult."

Nara Shikaku had a headache. He sat aside with the document and looked around.

Kuroba Shiyu sat behind the Hokage's desk and looked at the lists one after another, lost in thought.

The two guards standing behind him, one on the left and one on the right, also frowned.

They were two Uchiha brats.

Black Feather Shiyu naturally took this into consideration, but he did not expect that the minds of these people below were still very fast, and they directly revealed what was going on secretly.

Naturally, the scum they caught cannot escape their guilt, because all the crimes have been shouldered by these people.

Slave trading, underground trading, and a series of other crimes are all blamed on the people who have been arrested.

It's like a parasite in the body. Half of the body has been pulled out, and the other half still remains in the body of the parasite, and it is still highly toxic due to the break.

Disgraceful things about the central government were also exposed and used by those people to generate a lot of public opinion.

Those who have not been caught can take advantage of this chaotic period to destroy evidence or even escape.

Black Feather Shiyu showed a sneer.

The temperature in the entire Hokage's office seemed to have dropped a few degrees.

"Don't worry about these public opinions. Catch those who deserve to be caught and kill those who deserve to be killed. Since the matter has been made clear, let's arrest them justly and kill them justly."

Nara Shikaku was frightened: "This is too reckless. In this way, the central government of Konoha is also likely to lose the trust of the people."

"Shikaku, you are wrong."

"what?"

"The trust of the masses, is the trust of the masses useful? Human nature is like this. The basis of trust is not the loss of credibility after the government has done something contrary to its promise, but what is the starting point for us to do these things."

"If our starting point is to take advantage of others and increase taxes at will, then we will truly lose credibility."

"And what we are doing now is to get rid of the pests. The borers that really threaten the vital interests of the people below. To deal with borers and animals, there is no need to use legal means to manage people."

"The government's means of maintaining order are, on the surface, laws, but in fact they are the coverage of powerful military forces and violent institutions. This is fundamental. I don't like to cover the essence of things with hypocrisy. The facts are what they are. That's it."

"After this matter is dealt with, all the evidence of these people's dirty transactions will be put on the table, broadcast on TV stations and radio programs, and then these people will be tried one by one, and public opinion will naturally be eliminated."

This……

If the problem cannot be solved, then the person who raised the problem should be solved?

"Shikaku, don't worry. Use extraordinary measures in extraordinary times. The people below will get used to it. Most people have food to eat and won't abandon their jobs and become moths in the fire."

Just as the stunned Nara Shikaku was about to open the door and walk out of the office, he heard Kuroba Shigure say: "Don't they want evidence? Release all the videos of the interrogation of those people. I don't want the results of the interrogation after hypnosis. Interrogate them separately and do not allow them to speak the same language. You can use coercion and inducement secretly to make them confused. The more loopholes that these people can use to lie, the better. Remember to record them."

"Also, find a few people who have committed relatively minor crimes, ask them to confess, and then spare their lives in public, and reveal the matter to this gang, and then find a few who are the most recalcitrant..."

As he said that, Black Feather Shiyu wiped his neck.

The human heart cannot withstand temptation. Unless you are a patriot with a strong will or a fanatic with extremely strong religious beliefs, not many people can withstand it, let alone these criminals who have their own hidden agendas.

Nara Shikaku nodded. This was to gradually divide this group of people. Although the methods were a little despicable, Nara Shikaku would not have any qualms about his conscience when dealing with these people.

Afterwards, Nara Shikaku headed towards the Uchiha station.
