Naruto: Ming Dynasty people roaming the ninja world

Mo Congfeng chatted with Hatake Sakumo for a while, repeatedly telling him not to take the failure of this mission to heart, as no ninja could always successfully complete a mission. Hatake Sakumo's emotional state was also relatively stable, so Mo Congfeng left with peace of mind.

After Mo Congfeng returned home, he carefully thought about how to spread the terror of the Uchiha clan throughout Konoha and intensify the conflict between the Uchiha clan and the entire population of Konoha.

The network of personal connections of Kinoshita Ichiro cannot be used easily, as that would be a self-inflicted disaster. Perhaps the large-scale use of clone and transformation techniques would be a solution.

Orochimaru had threatened him with rumors. Danzo Shimura of the Root organization might have mastered the ways to spread public opinion. They have enough manpower, and perhaps the current deterioration of the Uchiha clan's reputation was due to them.

But before Mo Congfeng made his move, some people had already started.

A few days later, Kinoshita Ichiro told Mo Congfeng that he had noticed that there were more and more unfavorable remarks about Captain Hatake Sakumo in recent days. Many accusations against Hatake Sakumo had gradually emerged, and he believed that they would soon turn from private discussions to public accusations.

Mo Congfeng sensed the scent of conspiracy, and his first suspect was Danzo Shimura and his men. Danzo Shimura was about to jump out to compete for the position of the next Hokage, and this was his chance to eliminate a competitor.

Danzo Shimura has the motivation and ability to do so, but Hatake Sakumo has already submitted an application to give up his candidacy for Hokage. If it were Danzo Shimura, his actions would be really superfluous. Didn't he receive the news that Hatake Sakumo had given up?

Mo Congfeng noticed that Kinoshita Ichiro seemed to be hesitant to speak, "What's wrong? Is there anything else?"

Kinoshita Ichiro sighed, "When you returned last time more than ten days ago, you asked me to pay attention to the rumors in the village. You also said that something was about to happen. At that time, were you aware of the situation today?"

Mo Congfeng was stunned. This was a suspicion that he had ignored Hatake Sakumo's predicament. He shook his head slightly and explained, "The last time I came back, I noticed that the relationship between the Uchiha clan and the civilians of Konoha had deteriorated rapidly. I suspected that this was the result of someone's manipulation, so I wanted to pay special attention to it."

Kinoshita Ichiro smiled awkwardly, "The Uchiha clan has assumed the responsibility of the Konoha Police Department. It's normal that they have a bad relationship with the civilians of Konoha!"

Mo Congfeng shook his head again, "This is very abnormal. The duty of the Konoha Police Department is to stop ninja crimes. It is normal for them to have a bad relationship with the civilian ninjas of Konoha, but they are actually the protectors of the civilians of Konoha, and their relationship with the civilians of Konoha should not deteriorate.

You have to know that Konoha civilians and civilian ninjas are two different groups and two different concepts."

Kinoshita Ichiro shook his head. "No, they are actually the same group. Where do Konoha's civilian ninjas come from? They come from civilian families. The restrictions imposed by the Konoha Police Department on civilian ninjas are actually restrictions imposed on Konoha's civilians."

What Kinoshitarou said made some sense, but Mo Congfeng did not agree with his remarks, "Although there are many civilian ninjas in Konoha, they are still too few compared to the civilians of Konoha.

I don't believe that all civilian ninjas are law-abiding and respectful of the elderly and the young. There should be conflicts between civilian ninjas and ordinary people. It goes without saying which side the Konoha Police Department is on.

Even though Konoha's civilian ninjas and ordinary people are one and the same, the Uchiha clan's reputation has been ruined too quickly recently!"

Kinoshita Ichiro obviously disagreed with the statement that the Konoha Police Department was on the side of the ordinary people of Konoha. "Even if there is oppression of ordinary people by Konoha civilian ninjas, when the Konoha Police Department enforces the law roughly, ordinary people still cannot distinguish as carefully as we ninjas.

Perhaps in their eyes, the Konoha Police Department are also ninjas. In their eyes, there are actually only two groups, ninjas and civilians. Only when their identities reach a certain level can they distinguish the differences between the groups.

Civilians and ninjas, civilian ninjas and family ninjas, ordinary ninjas and Anbu ninjas, Anbu ninjas and Root Organization ninjas, these identities can only be reflected in the eyes of people with different identities.

But you are right, the bad rumors about the Uchiha clan have indeed increased since this year."

Mo Congfeng remembered that Kinoshita had said this a long time ago, so he stopped arguing with Kinoshita, "Then I will tell you my guess. When did the rumors about the Uchiha clan increase? Did it happen after Shimura Danzo was attacked by the legendary Uchiha Madara?"

Kinoshita nodded in agreement. "Are you saying that everything is the work of the Root Organization, including the rumors about Captain Hatake Sakumo?"

Mo Congfeng nodded, "That's what I mean. Captain Hatake Sakumo said that he has submitted a report to the Third Hokage and that he will give up his candidacy for Hokage. Do you know the result of this matter?"

Kinoshita nodded, "The Third Hokage has agreed to this matter, and the results will be announced soon."

Mo Congfeng was a little confused, "This is a bit strange, Hatake Sakumo is no longer a threat to Shimura Danzo, Shimura Danzo already knows about this, so their purpose is not as simple as it seems.

unless……"

A more sinister guess flashed through Mo Congfeng's mind.

"Unless what?"

Mo Congfeng hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether he should tell Kinoshita Ichirō about this guess.

Kinoshita Ichiro was a little anxious. "I admire your wisdom. You can tell me what you think. I promise to keep it a secret."

Mo Congfeng sighed, “The rumors that appear to be targeting Captain Hatake Sakumo are actually meant to deal with Senior Jiraiya.

I think after Captain Hatake Sakumo's unfavorable remarks ferment for a period of time, another voice will be heard, that is, all this was done by Senior Jiraiya, after all, he is a vested interest.

This voice is that Jiraiya created such rumors in order to win over his rivals and then forced Hatake Sakumo to retreat."

Kinoshita Ichiro frowned, "This doesn't make sense at all. After Captain Hatake Sakumo's mission failed, he actually lost the qualification to compete for the candidate for Hokage. There is no need for Jiraiya to do such a thing!"

Mo Congfeng suddenly felt enlightened, "What if Captain Hatake Sakumo's mission itself was a conspiracy? What if this mission was planned to fail in advance?

Captain Hatake Sakumo's mission itself was suspicious. The assassins on the opposing side learned the intelligence too early. They had known about the mission long ago and had made preparations in advance.

By then, as long as the news comes out that Jiraiya-senpai is the mastermind of the incident, Jiraiya-senpai will be put in a passive position, and he might even give up his candidacy for Hokage to prove his innocence.

In this way, the two candidates for Hokage will withdraw one after another, and Shimura Danzo's chance will come."

There seems to be a key step missing here, and Mo Congfeng has not been able to figure it out yet.
