After Tomoki left, the Third Hokage picked up today's Konoha Daily again.
He also discovered the true use of newspapers at this time. They could not only be used to protect himself, but also to attack enemies.
He was well aware of the power of public opinion and there was no reason why the village should not have control over newspapers.
Konoha had no written regulations regarding public opinion before, so it was difficult to target Sarutobi Hiruzen. In addition, the Konoha Daily was the Uchiha's property and could not be taken away by force.
But Sarutobi Hiruzen once again thought about publishing his own newspaper, so he quickly summoned his think tanks.
They discussed starting a 'Hokage Newspaper'.
Tomoki spent the entire afternoon running around with the members of the security department.
The villagers of Konoha spent their day in panic.
The next day, the Konoha Daily was sold out as soon as it appeared.
People opened the newspaper and found that the newspaper had returned to its previous layout.
The most conspicuous section was inscribed with large, bright red characters: "Security Department - The First Line of Defense for Konoha Villagers"
The first thing that opens is a picture of Tomoki being taken away by the Anbu, which details Tomoki's identity as the patriarch of the Uchiha clan and the head of the Konoha Security Department.
Because the existence of "Root" was exposed by Konoha Daily, the evil Danzo was resentful and sent "Root" ninja disguised as Anbu to take Tomoki away.
But the careful Youshu had already noticed something was wrong, because those Anbu were lifeless, completely different from the usually kind Anbu.
So he quietly arranged for the security members to follow, and eventually found the hiding place of the roots and launched a cleanup operation on the roots.
Attached are pictures of Tomoki leading the Security Team to fight against the Root. Both the composition and the angle perfectly show the handsomeness and strength of the Security Team.
This battle killed a large number of Root ninjas and rescued many children who had undergone brutal training.
The pictures show the corpses of Root ninjas and the heartbreaking children with empty eyes.
And a photo of the child's parents bowing in gratitude when the child was finally sent back to his family.
The whole thing is well-coordinated, the plot is full of ups and downs, and the logic is rigorous.
At the same time, Youshu sent a large number of security personnel disguised as ordinary villagers to stir up trouble everywhere.
"The child of the XXX family was sent home by the security department yesterday. I saw it with my own eyes at the scene."
"Yes, ×× offered his own savings to thank Youshu-sama, but he refused, saying that it was the responsibility of the Security Department."
Later, there was an article specifically interviewing Tomoki, in which Tomoki stated that the purpose of establishing the Security Department was to protect the safety of the Konoha villagers.
The Guard will continue to fight to protect the villagers of Konoha.
In addition to these articles praising the Uchiha, there are of course articles that criticize Danzo.
"Shimura Danzo - The Life of 'Anshinobi'" only briefly introduces Danzo's deeds when he was young.
It was simply mentioned that Danzo was an excellent ninja, but after the death of the Nidaime, Sarutobi Hiruzen was chosen to become Hokage instead of him.
At that time, darkness began to grow in Danzo's heart, and he became the embodiment of "evil" from then on.
After this issue of the newspaper was published, Uchiha's reputation was instantly boosted, which was much greater than the effect of Shisui's hard work singing and dancing for nearly two months.
Subsequent newspapers continued this style, with the unshakable interpretation of the Will of Fire, a daily praise for Uchiha, and a daily criticism of Danzo.
Another half month passed, and the Root had completely become an illegal armed force in Konoha.
The Security Department alone destroyed eight secret bases of the Root.
Every time the villagers of Konoha saw the Root stronghold being destroyed, they would applaud.
And Danzo has been completely criticized.
In the case of Orochimaru's defection, it was actually Danzo who was behind the scenes. When he was discovered, he erased his own traces and put all the blame on Orochimaru because Orochimaru threatened him to seize the position of Hokage.
However, the net of heaven is vast and nothing can escape it. After the security department destroyed a stronghold, they obtained key evidence and even took clear photos to print in newspapers.
The death of the Fourth Hokage happened because Danzo dealt with Orochimaru, but the position of Hokage was taken away. Danzo held a grudge and deliberately colluded with outsiders to kill the Fourth Hokage.
The Konoha White Fang incident was also because White Fang threatened him to seize the position of Hokage. As an elder, he arranged a death mission for him. As a result, White Fang gave up the mission to protect his companions, so he arranged for the "Root" ninja who was carrying out the mission together to kill White Fang.
After the death of the Fourth Hokage, the Third Hokage resumed his duties as Hokage. Danzo, unwilling to accept this, arranged for a ninja to assassinate the Third Hokage.
Tomoki arranged for everything in his memory that was even slightly related to the topic to be published in the Konoha Daily. As for whether the evidence was true or false, a random picture would be enough.
People don't really care about your truth or logic, they just enjoy the pleasure of slandering big figures, just like they did against Uchiha.
However, after the issue of the newspaper that reported the White Fang incident was published, Kakashi came to question him.
Tomoki directly said that it was written by "Konoha Ippondoku". I don't know either, but I felt that what he wrote made sense, so I published it in the newspaper.
"If you want to know the answer, Kakashi-senpai, you can go find it yourself."
Looking at Tomoki with sincere eyes in front of him and thinking of the scroll he gave him, Kakashi finally didn't say much and left.
When the newspapers slandered Danzo, they had to use some logic and facts, but the internet trolls that Tomoki arranged privately used all means possible.
"The Nidaime died because Danzo, hoping to become Hokage, deliberately leaked information to Kumogakure."
"The Shodaime was secretly poisoned by Danzo because he wanted to become Hokage."
"Xx's wife died during childbirth because Danzo discovered that his child had unparalleled ninja talent, and out of fear, he deliberately poisoned her to death."
"…"
All kinds of outrageous rumors were flying around, and it was Tomoki who arranged it at the beginning.
Later, the villagers spontaneously created and spread rumors, and the entire Konoha Village was caught in a wave of discrediting Danzo.
Tomoki just watched the scene quietly with a heavy heart, while Mitsuha beside him had fear in her eyes.
This had obviously long been out of their control, and Youshu also realized that although the weapon of public opinion was powerful, it needed to be guided correctly.
After dealing with Danzo this time, Tomoki planned to completely abandon the Konoha Daily, and he had only set a wrong example at the beginning.
Now all the writers in the tribe are making up stories based on pictures. If they keep doing this, people will eventually discover the truth.
Then these villagers would turn their spearheads that were now pointed at Danzo towards the Uchiha.
"Complete freedom of speech, while the truth can be arbitrarily distorted, will only cause enormous chaos and ultimately destroy everything."
Tomoki reflected in his heart that although he wanted to deal with Danzo, he did not want to push Konoha into the fire pit.
At this time, a villager not far away accidentally tripped over a stone on the side of the road.
The villagers stood up, dusted themselves off, and cursed, "Damn Danzo!"
Seeing this scene, Youshu said to himself with a smile on his face, "It's time."
