Bang!
Chiyo slammed her hand on the table, fuming.
"There's no way this is true! Lord Kazekage would never do something like that. Even if he did say he was under a genjutsu, it's obvious they're just trying to overhype this Uzuki Xin kid. And now, the Leaf is seizing the opportunity to smear our Kazekage's name."
"Spread the word, no one is to discuss this matter any further. Also, contact the camp in the Land of Rivers. We need Lord Kazekage to clear up this misunderstanding as soon as possible."
If these rumors continued to spread, not only would the Third Kazekage's reputation be ruined, but the Sand Village's name would be dragged through the mud as well.
The Daimyo was already displeased with the Sand Village. Hearing these rumors would likely send him into a rage.
Meanwhile, in the Sand Village's command post in the Land of Rivers, the entire camp was covered in iron sand.
One could only imagine how furious the Third Kazekage was.
In the days that followed, the Third Kazekage's reputation took a nosedive, but the Sand Village's attacks on the Leaf grew more frequent and intense.
Hatake Sakumo was feeling the pressure.
Yet, amid the complaints, he couldn't help but chuckle at the irony of the Third Kazekage digging his own grave.
Even if the Sand Village came forward to debunk the rumors, this incident would stick to the Third Kazekage for the rest of his days.
He'd be forever nailed to the pillar of shame.
From then on, whenever someone mentioned the Third Kazekage, this disgraceful incident would inevitably come up. Even Uzuki Xin's name would be dragged through the mud as people reminisced about it.
Under the gloomy, rain-soaked sky that had persisted for days, Nawaki couldn't hold back his complaints.
"I think walking into the battlefield right now is a terrible idea."
"If you have a problem with it, you should take it up with our grand commander," Xin retorted, causing Nawaki to fall silent.
Despite his high status, Nawaki wasn't Tsunade-he didn't dare to openly criticize Danzo.
"It was a decision made by the command post after some discussion. It's not fair to blame just one person," Minato countered with a smile.
Their squad had been pulled from their post at the outpost. The reason?
Some jonin felt it was a waste for a squad like theirs to be stationed at an outpost.
With Xin's abilities, he could be on the front lines, taking down more enemies and doing more for the cause, rather than being holed up in one spot, guarding a relatively insignificant post.
After some deliberation, the squad was reassigned to reinforce the front lines.
