You know.
We are still in the middle of a war, so who has the time to investigate a case?
Besides.
It was just Uchiha who died.
The village is already wary of the Uchiha, so a few more deaths are a good thing.
Even if they don't die in the village, he will eventually find a way to make the Uchiha die in the war.
The Uchiha must be restrained; they cannot be allowed to become too powerful.
In such a situation, it doesn't matter if they die.
Therefore, considering this, Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately made a decision, which also settled the matter.
He could also smear Cloud Village and boost Konoha's morale at the same time.
This is a good thing!
So, without any hesitation, he directly issued the order.
And Nara Shikaku lived up to expectations, immediately spreading the news throughout the Shinobi World.
Of course, as this incident fermented, Cloud Village's reputation plummeted.
No choice.
There are pictures and truth; there's no reason not to believe it.
Especially the way those three Uchiha died, it seemed they didn't resist at all.
Before Might Dai made his move, the entire Shinobi World generally believed that only Cloud Village had such high-level Taijutsu experts.
Cloud Village: "..."
I have ten thousand 'motherf*ckers' I want to say, but I don't know if I should.
The way this blame was pinned on them, they wanted to cry.
It is rumored that after the Third Raikage learned of this, he immediately issued a declaration in the Shinobi World, saying that it was all slander from Konoha, and that he, the Third Raikage, was an upright person who would never stoop to such actions.
But, unfortunately.
Konoha quickly produced various pieces of evidence left behind two years ago when a Cloud Ninja squad was caught trying to steal a Kekkei Genkai from Konoha.
This time.
Konoha only presented the evidence, without saying a word.
Silence is golden!
Third Raikage: "..."
He was speechless!
Finally, frustrated to the point of anger, he smashed everything in his office.
Motherf*cker.
He was truly furious!
If he had actually done it, he would accept the failure.
But, the problem is.
He could swear to the heavens, he really didn't do it!
He was a victim too!
However, it was useless.
In the current Shinobi World, no one believed him.
Even Iwagakure, their secret ally, thought Cloud Village's character was too poor, and they were extra cautious during every negotiation with Cloud Village, the distrust in their eyes driving the Third Raikage mad.
This scapegoat was too heavy; he really couldn't bear it!
He silently swore in his heart, never to let him find out who the real culprit was.
Otherwise, even if the Third Shinobi World War stopped, he would still have to kill that bastard.
It was simply too disgusting.
Of course, unlike Cloud Village, Konoha's morale soared because of this incident.
Especially when fighting Cloud Village, they charged forward, howling.
Clearly.
Cloud Village's actions disgusted them; at this moment, they all wanted revenge... On the other side, Konoha.
Uchiha Clan Grounds.
Uchiha Jin, the person involved, was unaware of the immense storm his actions would stir up.
At this moment, he was sitting in the living room, receiving Shisui as a guest.
"Can you tell me?"
"What exactly happened?"
"The commotion today was a bit too big, wasn't it?"
"Of course, if it's classified, then you don't need to tell me."
Uchiha Jin couldn't help but ask.
Looking at Shisui in front of him, he couldn't help but inquire.
Shisui, however, smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry, it's already clear."
"Actually, there's nothing that can't be said. Uchiha Yoshio and the other two died last night."
"And this matter has been thoroughly investigated. From beginning to end, it was a Cloud Village conspiracy, aimed at causing internal strife in our Konoha."
"Truly, a wolf's ambition!"
"Fortunately, our Konoha has the wise Nara Clan, and the current Nara Clan Head, Jonin Squad Leader Nara Shikaku, thoroughly analyzed and completely uncovered Cloud Village's conspiracy."
"And now, this matter has been announced to the entire Shinobi World."
"We must let everyone in the Shinobi World know how dirty and despicable Cloud Village is."
Uchiha Jin: "..."
He was completely bewildered.
What was all this about?
A Cloud Village conspiracy?
How did he, the person involved, not know anything about it?
Although he did want to pin the blame on Cloud Village, he hadn't thought too much about it, merely seeing it as a backup plan to hide himself.
In reality.
He himself didn't know how much effect it would have.
He just thought that if it couldn't be traced back to him, then everything would be fine.
Looking at Shisui, who was filled with anger and eager to go to the front lines to kill, Uchiha Jin didn't know what to say for a moment.
This child, is he too honest?
However.
He still vaguely felt that something was not right.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but frown.
"Shisui, don't rush to be angry."
"Can you tell me in detail? After all, this matter also involves me, and I want to understand it specifically."
"What did the Nara Clan Head say?"
Uchiha Jin's tone was serious.
Yes.
He dared not underestimate the Nara Clan Head, the current Jonin Squad Leader.
This was a famously high-IQ individual in the entire Shinobi World!
He wasn't a kid like Shisui, believing whatever people told him.
So.
