Chapter 178: Group, Me, Shadow!
In the evening, Zhang Shan and the others also learned about Bai Ya's affairs.

Everyone sat in the yard, looking somewhat unhappy.

"Lord White Fang is the hero of Konoha. He only made a small mistake this time and didn't cause much loss. How dare these people say that? I must seek justice for Lord White Fang!" Rope Tree clenched his fists angrily and was about to get up and go to the Hokage Building to have a good talk with Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Although he, Nawaki, is just an inconspicuous Chunin now, his words still carry weight after he awakened the Wood Release.

No one stopped Sheng Shu as he left.

There are not many people in the ninja world who can hurt Rope Tree.

"I'm going to talk to White Fang and check on his condition." Tsunade stood up and left.

Zhang Shan looked at Shuimen and the others again and asked, "Do you know what mission White Fang went on?"

"The rumor out there is that we were protecting the daimyo, and he was attacked along the way, which frightened the daimyo. But in fact, the daimyo's route of action is kept secret, and the route has been surveyed several times, so there will definitely be no problems." Minato said, his face already very gloomy.

The absolutely confidential route was leaked, and from the information Minato obtained, he knew that White Fang had killed two high-ranking officials of the Sand Village this time, and he himself was also seriously injured.

It is still unknown who was killed, and Minato did not receive any news in this regard. Instead, negative news about White Fang came out first, and spread throughout Konoha in a very short time. Now you can hear people discussing this matter in almost every street and alley.

Their tone was cold and full of disgust, as if White Fang had killed their loved ones.

Although Zhang Shan had already had some knowledge about the ungrateful people of the Konoha villagers, this time he still broadened his horizons.

"Is there a traitor among the higher-ups in our village?" Mikoto frowned.

Minato nodded heavily. Someone from within betrayed his own people, and this person was a high-ranking official in Konoha, which made Minato very unhappy.

I secretly swore in my heart that when I became Hokage, I would clear out all the termites in Konoha!
It just so happens that I am quite capable now, so it is not difficult to do this!
What's more, Zhang Shan can help.

Although Zhang Shan has always said that he would not interfere in those messy matters, Minato believes that as long as he opens his mouth, Zhang Shan will definitely not refuse!

At most, I can just treat Zhang Shan to a meal afterwards.
Meanwhile, in the Hokage's office.

Bang!
Nawaki kicked the door open and shouted to Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo inside: "Third-generation sir! Please come out and clarify for Senior White Fang! He obviously did nothing wrong!"

Danzo looked at Nawaki with a hint of gloom in his eyes.

But when he thought that his target was not the boy in front of him, his anger subsided a little, but his tone was still stiff: "Shengshu, we are discussing confidential matters, it is not appropriate for you to come in!"

Rope Tree was even more upset and directly retorted: "Now the matter of Senior White Fang is the biggest matter in Konoha! What else is more important? Fighting or negotiating? I will drive the wooden man to talk to them!"

When Danzo and the Third Hokage heard what Rope Tree said, their faces turned dark.

Because they knew that Shengshu was telling the truth.

Although Ropewood's Wood Release was a bit weird at the beginning, after three years of training, Ropewood has completely mastered it and can use most of the Wood Release ninjutsu skillfully. If he really drives a wooden man out for a trip, Sarutobi Hiruzen will have to abdicate when he comes back.

Isn’t it because White Fang is too famous that Danzo has done something trick on him?

After all, Danzo had been waiting for the Third Hokage to abdicate so that he could take over.

Although they are the same age, the age difference between the first and second generations is less than five years, so it is not unacceptable that the third and fourth generations are of the same age, right?
After all, Hashirama originally planned to let Uchiha Madara be the second generation.

Therefore, Danzo believed that his plan would succeed and that he would become Hokage.

However, recently the younger generations of Konoha have been too outstanding.

There is White Fang in front and the Three Ninjas behind, and behind the Three Ninjas there are super geniuses like Nawaki and Minato. They have seriously threatened Danzo's plan.

Therefore, Danzo chose to destroy White Fang so that White Fang's generation would not block his way.

As for Orochimaru and the others, they are too young and not a threat.

When they really grow up, Danzo will force the third generation to step down and become the king himself.

"Okay, Shengshu, stop messing around." Sandai frowned and said, "I know you're angry now, but this matter is full of strange things. We are investigating it, so don't make things worse!"

"As for the villagers, I will give an explanation."

Rope Tree was tricked into leaving, and soon, the sound of the argument between the Third Hokage and Danzo was heard in the room again.

"Danzo! I am the Hokage!"

"Hiruzen! You will regret this!"

After a hearty conversation, the two parted unhappily.

However, under the suppression of three generations, public opinion has indeed decreased a lot.

But although there are fewer people on the surface, secretly...

Zhang Shan came to Bai Ya's home. After all, they had worked together before, so Zhang Shan was still very worried about Bai Ya's condition.

The main reason is that I’m afraid that this guy will really commit suicide.

It doesn’t matter if he committed suicide, but Kakashi’s mentality was completely ruined by this incident!
Looking at the entire Naruto Shippuden, many things were caused by Kakashi's negative mentality.

From Obito's transformation to evil to Uchiha Itachi's massacre of his entire clan, it was all because of Kakashi's failure.

By the way, it was Kakashi who leaked the time and place of Kushina's unloading during the Nine-Tails Rebellion.

Although Kakashi was talking to the grave, you should at least wait until Kushina has successfully unloaded the cargo. Are you in that hurry?

In short, in order to prevent anything bad from happening in the future, Zhang Shan felt that Bai Ya should be saved.

At this time, White Fang had locked himself in his room all night. Kakashi, who was only seven years old, was preparing lunch. When he saw Zhang Shan coming, he immediately greeted him, "Master Zhang Shan! Are you here to see my father?"

He rubbed Kakashi's white hair and said, "Well, is your father okay?"

Kakashi was in a low mood and brought Zhang Shan to the door of White Fang's room.

When I opened the door, I saw Bai Ya sitting at the table with a negative look on his face. There were dark circles under his eyes and he looked very haggard.

Seeing Zhang Shan, Bai Ya forced an ugly smile and said, "Sorry, I made you laugh."

Zhang Shan sat next to Bai Ya and asked, "Can you tell me the specific situation at that time? The daimyo's route cannot be leaked."

"Yes, the route was absolutely impossible to be leaked, but it was ambushed by the people from the Sand Village." Bai Ya's tone was full of fatigue. After this incident, Bai Ya saw many things clearly.

Don't be fooled by the fact that he is usually the captain of the Anbu and has been a bodyguard of Rope Tree for several years.

I thought that with my experience, becoming the Fourth Hokage was a foregone conclusion, but I didn't expect that something would go wrong at this time.

Moreover, White Fang knew clearly that it was Konoha’s top leaders who were targeting him!

Whether it was the third generation or several other elders, they all had the motive to do so.

Even the Sannin had their reasons.

After all, I seem to have blocked a lot of people's paths...

"Don't worry, the third generation has already suppressed public opinion. After a while, those people will forget about this matter." Zhang Shan said.

"Maybe..." Those people may forget, but White Fang will remember it for the rest of his life!
After saying a few more words, he pulled Kakashi to show his presence in front of White Fang, telling the boy not to forget that he has a son.

Tie up White Fang with bonds!

After encouraging Bai Ya a few more words, Zhang Shan went home.

The reason he came here to persuade White Fang was not because he was a selfless person, but simply because there would be another Ninja World War in the future, and if too many people died in Konoha, it would not be able to crush other major powers.

"The Third Ninja World War was Konoha's fight against the whole world. At that time, the only person in Konoha who was worth looking at was Orochimaru. The others were all unlikely to achieve anything significant. In the end, if it weren't for Minato's maneuvering on several major battlefields, Konoha would have been defeated." Zhang Shan was thinking about the future in his heart.

Now that Konoha has him, it can even go to war with the whole world.

But Zhang Shan knew that even if he conquered all those villages now, there would be no so-called peace in the future.

At most, the competition among everyone will shift from open to covert.

If we can’t fight with hot weapons, then we can fight economic warfare, public opinion warfare... and so on.

Anyway, there are plenty of ways.

Therefore, if we want to bring peace to the world, we need not only the use of force, but also common interests!

Zhang Shan has not yet found the common interests of everyone, so he has not taken any action.

In fact, common interests are easy to find. Just release Kaguya Otsutsuki and create a common external enemy for everyone. In this way, they will not kill each other in a short period of time.

As for things that are more distant, that is not something Zhang Shan should consider.

"Kaguya."

Looking up at the sky, the sun is about to set and a waning moon is looming in the sky.

"I wonder what Kaguya looks like in real life, if she's pretty~"

Zhang Shan had a bold idea and plan in his mind.

"Zhang Shan!"

Minato's voice called out from behind. Minato quickly came to Zhang Shan and said, "Zhang Shan, is Senior White Fang okay?"

"He's very good!" Zhang Shan said with a smile, "Except for the bad, everything else is good!"

Minato's face darkened, "Okay, no more jokes at this time!"

He was really worried about White Fang's condition. If White Fang became depressed because of this, it would be a huge blow to Konoha.

Zhang Shan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, from what I can see now, the most White Fang will do is not to be a ninja anymore, and he has no intention of going to extremes."

Hearing Zhang Shan say this, Minato also breathed a sigh of relief. He had been worried that White Fang would rush directly into the Konoha high-level and chop the three elders directly...

As a powerful Kage-level warrior, it is not completely impossible for White Fang to kill Danzo and the other three.

First of all, Xiaochun and Menyan couldn't withstand Bai Ya's blow.

Danzo has not yet started to transform himself, and if White Fang fights for his life, he may not be a match for White Fang.

Zhang Shan didn't know about Minato's worries. If he knew, he would definitely laugh out loud.

In Zhang Shan's opinion, although Bai Ya is not a cunning person, he is not the kind of person who does things without considering the consequences. Such a reckless man cannot be the captain of the Anbu.

"So, why did White Fang commit suicide in the original book?"

After saying goodbye to Minato, Zhang Shan returned home. Xiaonan was preparing dinner in the kitchen, and Xiaoguang was lying barefoot on the sofa, staring at the ceiling in a daze.

Even when Zhang Shan came back, he didn't let her even look at him.

Sitting next to Xiaoguang, he placed his white and tender feet on himself and asked with a smile, "What? Are you thinking about life?"

Facing Zhang Shan's sudden big face, Xiao Guang stepped on his face and said disdainfully: "Don't bother me, I'm feeling unwell!"

"Let your husband warm you up~"

While the two were flirting here, Xiaonan had already prepared the meal. He shouted to the two of them, and dinner officially began.

"White Fang doesn't have a big problem, he's just a little depressed. He should be fine after a while."

"Oh."

"Ow."

The two women obviously didn't care about this matter. After all, they didn't even know who White Fang was, so how could they care?
Speaking of which, Zhang Shan and Bai Ya are not very familiar with each other, they just worked together on the battlefield of the Wind Kingdom before.

Because Zhang Shan single-handedly scared the ninjas of the Sand Village and forcibly stopped the battlefield there, Bai Ya had a deep impression of Zhang Shan.

After returning to Konoha, the two were nothing more than nodding acquaintances.

A few days later, public opinion had indeed calmed down. I don't know whether it was because Danzo was suppressed or because Ropeki's words had an effect.

We learned from Minato that White Fang's mood has improved recently and he has returned to work in the Anbu.

After this incident, White Fang seemed to have figured something out and was not so hardworking at his usual job. He spent more time with Kakashi and Zhang Shan saw him on the street more often.

This day, in the park.

Kakashi, Obito and the others were playing together in the distance, while White Fang and Might Dai were sitting on chairs nearby and watching, their eyes full of satisfaction.

"Kakashi is gradually opening up his heart." White Fang said to Mighty Dai beside him, "I have to thank your kid for that!"

Because of Might Guy and Obito's endless harassment, Kakashi's image of a cool and handsome guy was shattered by the two of them several times at school. Over time, Kakashi simply gave up that so-called image and became like other kids, playing and fighting every day.

Matt Dai laughed, "Hahaha! No way! They are just kids who get along well!"

Looking at the children playing in the distance, Bai Ya felt that the haze that had been surrounding his heart for the past few days had dissipated a little, and a sincere smile appeared on his face.

Although he was very disappointed with the ninja, there was always something in this world that he missed, wasn't there?

"But is that brat really an Uchiha? He looks more like... Napeki?"

~
Pirate world.

After several months of sailing, Zhang Shan came to Punk Hazard from Egghead Island and now arrived on the island.

This time Aokiji did not fight Akainu, and Pangdao was no longer a world of ice and fire, but a barren deserted island.

After Zhang Shan and his men arrived, Mingdi above had already made full preparations. All members gathered together, ready to fight Zhang Shan to the death.

"You didn't run away? That's surprising."

"Fufufufu! I'm really honored to be hunted all over the world by a big shot like you!" The veins on Mingdi's head bulged and his expression was a little distorted.

Today, let Doflamingo kill the gods!
