Started as a Hokage

Chapter 72 Conflicted Villagers

When Genshu Yi returned to Konoha, the treatment he had imagined for a hero did not appear. It seemed that everyone in the village chose to ignore this incident.

Even the villagers and ninjas who had been shouting about the greatness of Gen Shuyi in the past were extremely silent this time.

Yuan Shuyi expressed his understanding of this situation. In any case, it was indeed his selfishness that almost led to a war. It was just that the positions of the two sides were somewhat different.

Gen Shuyi needed the Fire Nation's status as a great power to ensure its dominant position in foreign transactions and had to join the war.

However, the village believed that Minamoto Shuyoshi wanted to rely on war to gain more say in the Hokage election, so he insisted on provoking conflicts between the two parties.

Naturally, the Hokage family also contributed to this, making this matter known to the whole village.

Don't think that these old-school guys don't know how to fight for public opinion.

At that time, Hatake Sakumo was criticized verbally and in writing because of his failure in the mission, and his final suicide was very strange no matter how you look at it.

An elite Jonin, no matter which village or force he is in, has an extraordinary status. He is a high-end combat power that even the top leaders must treat with caution.

It's weird no matter how you look at it, to be ridiculed by everyone for just a simple task.

Don't talk about missions being the most important. There are very few ninjas who have a 100% mission completion rate. Mission failure is not an uncommon thing in the ninja world.

After all, ninjas are not gods and cannot be perfect in everything.

What's more, the details of the village's missions are usually sealed in files, and S-level missions are even more secrets among secrets.

But only the failure of Hatake Sakumo's mission was made public.

You can say that Konoha suffered heavy losses because of that mission, but as a leader, shouldn't it be more appropriate to block the news when the mission failed to avoid causing a second panic?

At the very least, a former hero shouldn't be cast aside by the villagers because of a failed mission.

Of course, Minamoto Souyoshi felt that it was unlikely that Sarutobi Hiruzen did this. After all, Sarutobi Hiruzen was the one who could spare Orochimaru even his human experiments. Hatake Sakumo had no control over Orochimaru. It's not worth mentioning in front of those evil things you did.

There is a high probability that it was the work of those elders. After all, Hatake Sakumo, as the leader of the ANBU, had a position conflict with Danzo.

The root tissue at that time was attached to the ANBU.

If Hatake Sakumo recruits people from the Root Organization, do you think Danzo agrees or disagrees?

Yuan Shuyi will receive a cold reception this time, and it cannot be escaped from the handiwork of these people.

When Yuan Shuyi made it clear that horses and horses were competing for the position of Hokage, it was almost equivalent to a public declaration of war. It would be strange if Yuan Shuyi made a mistake at this time and they didn't chase him and bite him.

If Yuan Shuyi had not succeeded in repelling Yunyin Village this time, the storm of public opinion might have been even more intense.

But if that were the case, Yuan Shuyi wouldn't be polite. He was just playing with public opinion.

This was mainstream in his previous world, and this little kiddie thing in the Naruto world wouldn't even make it onto the UC page on Blue Star.

What's more, looking at the current situation in the village, we know that the Hokage series did not get the results they wanted in this public opinion war.

The villagers were dissatisfied with some of Yuan Shuyi's actions, but they would not dislike Yuan Shuyi because of it, not to mention that everyone was happy with the final result.

They will not spurn a leader who can directly benefit them because of a possible event.

But it is an indisputable fact that Yuan Shuyi almost put them in danger. Some villagers who are afraid of war or have been hurt by war are very resistant to this.

Precisely because of various reasons in the village, they selectively forgot about this incident and pretended that nothing had happened.

The war won't start anyway, life is still the same as before, why think so much.

Although Minamoto Shuyi felt thankless for the indifferent attitude of the villagers, but because of this incident, Minamoto Shuyi finally succeeded in gaining the support of the Hyuga clan.

Especially the gratitude of the two brothers Hyuga and Hizu. If it weren't for Minamoto Shugi, one of these two brothers would have died.

Originally, the Hyuga family was never willing to participate in any partisan disputes, but this Wuwu disaster made them understand that sometimes just because you don't fight doesn't mean others will let you go.

This time, Sarutobi Hiruzen's attitude towards Hinata Hinata really chilled them.

No one wants to die. Sacrifice for the peace of the village is the consciousness of all Konoha ninjas, but being forced to death is another matter.

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't say a good word for the Hyuga clan or even defend himself in this incident. Secondly, he didn't speak up for the victims and find the real murderer.

Instead, he rudely handed over the choice directly to the Hyuga clan.

To put it nicely, it's a scapegoat, but to put it worst, it's to force Hinata Hizashi to die.

How can this not make Hinata Hinatsu feel resentful.

What's more, Hiruzen Sarutobi did it wrong.

After the Fire Country daimyo heard about this, he directly issued a document denounced by the Thunder Country for intending to provoke disputes between the two countries under the pretext of forming an alliance.

The specific reaction of the Kingdom of Thunder is unknown.

But the Daimyo of the Fire Country was very angry, and even sent an envoy to Konoha Village, scolding Konoha from top to bottom, especially Sarutobi Hiruzen, who almost pointed at his nose and called him stupid. Sarutobi Hiruzen was so embarrassed when he scolded him.

The Fire Nation usually doesn't get involved in ninja matters, but matters related to the national reputation should not be decided by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

At the very least, he should report it to the Fire Nation and make a decision after knowing the Fire Nation's attitude, instead of trying to calm down the incident on his own initiative.

The intention was to use the head of the Hyuga clan leader to apologize to the envoy of the Kingdom of Thunder. This was simply to put the face of the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Fire under the feet of the Kingdom of Thunder.

How could such a proud Daimyo be so angry, otherwise he wouldn't have fought so many consecutive wars during his term in office.

The daimyo's attitude settled this matter, and the Hokage family lost a big person in the top management of Konoha.

Although Minamoto Shuyoshi did not receive any praise or widespread support from the villagers, he at least gained the friendship of the Hyuga clan.

Especially the friendship between the two brothers Hyuga Hizashi and Hyuga Hizashi.

In particular, Hinata Hizashi's gratitude not only meant that the Hyuga clan would clearly stand by Minamoto Shuiyi in the future, but also directly gave Minamoto Shuiyi a third-category contact: swearing to die in repayment of your kindness.

This time, if not for Minamoto Souyoshi's tough attitude, Hinata Hizatsu was almost forced to death. Even if he didn't die, his brother might also die. It is equivalent to saying that Minamoto Souyoshi saved two lives at once (?)

What's more, Konoha wants to be shameless, but the Hyuga family is shameless?

The patriarch of the Hyuga family died for an envoy who was so useless. How could Hyuga Hizashi have the face to meet his ancestors after his death?

Not to mention him, even other Hyuga clan members will inevitably be looked at with strange eyes in the future. This is also a great shame for a thousand-year-old clan.

This alone was enough for Minamoto Shuyoshi to gain enough goodwill from the Hyuga clan.
