Under the gaze of all the villagers, Koharu Utatane, the most senior figure among all the remaining high-level officials in Konoha, slowly opened her mouth with a serious face.
She said to everyone in a deep voice.
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere at the scene became even more oppressive. Even someone like Koharu Utatane had said such words.
It could be seen that what happened last night must have been earth-shattering.
"What happened last night is closely related to the Hyuga clan, and even said to have been caused entirely by the Hyuga clan. Therefore, let Lord Hizashi Hyuga tell you about this matter."
Koharu Utatane said to the villagers again, pushing Hizashi Hyuga out.
Hizashi stepped forward and told everyone the whole story of how the Cloud Village envoy tried to kidnap Hinata, but was killed by Kouki of the Konoha Military Police Force.
The death of someone from the Cloud Village envoy could be said to have caused a lot of noise in Konoha at that time, and everyone knew about it.
The official statement at the time was that the Cloud Village envoy and the people of the Hyuga clan were competing in martial arts, but the people of the Hyuga clan didn't hold back their strength, resulting in accidental injury to Kuroki.
This led to Kuroki's death.
But in the end, with Konoha's efforts, the two sides reached a reconciliation, which didn't affect the progress of the peace talks.
But what Hizashi gave now was a completely different version, which immediately set off a great uproar in the village.
"Lord Hizashi, weren't the people of the Cloud Village envoy accidentally killed by your clan members?"
"Yeah, why is what you said different from what the Hokage told us?"
"I thought the explanation was a bit strange at the time. Is there such a hidden secret behind it?"
The villagers reacted greatly, with some questioning, some denying, some suddenly realizing, some pondering silently, and of course, even more ruthlessly criticizing.
"Everyone, aren't so many of us standing here enough to reassure you? What Lord Hizashi said is all true!"
Koharu Utatane spoke heavily on the side, which temporarily dispelled everyone's doubts.
After all, what Koharu Utatane said made a lot of sense. Standing beside Hizashi were more than a dozen important figures in Konoha.
With so many big figures endorsing it, how could it be fake.
"But... Lord Hizashi, if that's the case, doesn't that mean that the Hokage is lying?"
Someone shouted loudly in disbelief.
"That's right, the Third Hokage is lying! Things are not like what he said at all!" Hizashi gritted his teeth and said loudly to everyone.
Even though the Third Hokage was really lying, Hizashi had always been loyal to the village. It was also very against his original intention to reveal the Third Hokage's faults in front of the villagers.
But now, in order to push Kouki to power and stabilize the village as soon as possible, he had to do so.
"Nonsense, how could Lord Third Hokage lie!"
"Yeah, Lord Third Hokage is not that kind of person!"
"Lord Hizashi, is there some misunderstanding?"
"I don't believe it, why would Lord Third Hokage do that?"
The Third Hokage had been in charge of Konoha's power for a long time, and he was still very prestigious in the hearts of the villagers.
Hizashi had only revealed the truth, and many villagers shouted loudly.
"Please listen to me explain slowly, and you will know why the Third Hokage did that."
Hizashi's voice was full of energy, and it drowned out everyone's discussions, clearly reaching everyone's ears.
"Kouki killed the people of the Cloud Village envoy in order to save Hinata, and in order to give the Cloud Village envoy an explanation, the Third Hokage actually planned to kill Kouki!"
"However, Kouki's strength was unexpectedly strong, so the Third Hokage's assassination of Kouki failed."
"The conflict between the village and the Uchiha clan was pushed to a peak in this way."
"In addition to the long-term accumulated conflicts between the village and the Uchiha clan, the Third Hokage actually made a terrible decision at this time."
"The Third Hokage planned to take this opportunity to destroy the Uchiha clan in one fell swoop!"
"What everyone saw last night was the extermination operation against the Uchiha clan launched by the Third Hokage!"
"It's just that because the Third Hokage misestimated the strength of the Uchiha clan, it led to the failure of the mission!"
"The Third Hokage, including my brother Hiashi, Inoichi Yamanaka of the Yamanaka clan, and many other adults, all died in this turmoil."
"For Konoha, this is a dark day. Many heroes of Konoha died in an internal strife that shouldn't have happened."
...
Hizashi told all the villagers this story after modifying it slightly.
This was also the result of Suzaku and others discussing together.
After all, Kouki's hands were stained with the blood of many high-level officials in Konoha. If they wanted to make the villagers accept Kouki, they had to let Kouki occupy the moral high ground.
They needed to shape Kouki into a victim!
Only in this way could the villagers not criticize Kouki's actions.
After all, Kouki didn't have any faults. He was just acting according to the village regulations, and even saved the princess of the Hyuga clan.
Under this circumstance, the Third Hokage actually wanted to exterminate his clan. What was wrong with Kouki rising up to resist?
However, doing so was far from enough. Even if they really managed to convince the villagers, the villagers would at most only forgive Kouki's "heinous crimes."
It was impossible to accept such an executioner as the Hokage. After all, the Third Hokage had died at the hands of this person.
Everyone wouldn't let the murderer who killed the Third Hokage replace their beloved Third Hokage.
So everyone needed to carry out the second step: smearing the Third Hokage.
They needed to shatter and trample the Third Hokage's image in the hearts of the people, so that the Third Hokage's prestige would be lost, and even make the people feel disgusted with the Third Hokage!
The more this was the case, the higher the acceptance of Kouki as the Hokage would be.
That's why there was the above statement by Hizashi. They were all helpless methods that a group of bigwigs had finally come up with after countless discussions.
"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"
"How could the Third Hokage be this kind of person!"
"Lord Hizashi, what you said must be a lie, right?"
As soon as Hizashi finished saying those words, the entire central square exploded, and the noise almost lifted the sky.
