As soon as this statement appeared, the Allied Shinobi Forces erupted in uproar!
The hostility that had been directed at Madara Uchiha, Obito Uchiha, and the Ten-Tails now all pointed toward Sasuke Uchiha.
Especially since he'd already caused chaos at the Five Kage Summit, killed Danzo Shimura, attacked the Eight-Tails Jinchūriki Killer B, and forced the Raikage to amputate his own arm—these crimes meant Sasuke had earned the wrath of the shinobi world, or at least Konoha and Kumogakure.
In an instant, Sasuke became the target of everyone's ire.
Naruto stepped beside Sasuke. He wouldn't believe what those words said. Even if—and this was a huge if—Sasuke really wanted to do that! He would still keep his promise to Itachi and bring Sasuke back to everyone's side!
"Naruto..."
Sakura saw Naruto's determination and chose to stand beside Sasuke with him.
The First Hokage stepped forward to maintain order. Though the Allied Shinobi Forces were unwilling to let Sasuke Uchiha off the hook, they had to give face to both Naruto and the First Hokage.
Only Madara Uchiha raised an eyebrow, quite satisfied with Sasuke Uchiha's supposed ambitions.
However, he still believed that only his 'Eye of the Moon Plan' was the truly correct way to let humanity permanently escape war and loss.

The low pressure around Obito dropped even further. "I'm just completely disappointed in this world."
"Hmph." Madara Uchiha also sneered at the comments above, but he never bothered explaining himself to weaklings.
However, he was somewhat curious about this 'Itachi Uchiha' who kept appearing in the text.
When he'd been betrayed by the Uchiha clan back then, Madara had lost all sentiment for the clan. Now, hearing that Itachi Uchiha killed his entire clan for Sasuke Uchiha's sake, he merely found it somewhat interesting.
In the barrage, someone finally couldn't tolerate these comments and stood up to refute them:
[People who don't understand anything and just criticize from behind their 'barrage' are no different from trash! Garbage belongs in the trash can! Don't come out here stinking up the place!]159 likes
Barrage...
Minato Namikaze turned to look at Tobirama Senju. "It appears all this text is something called a 'barrage,' Lord Second."
"Mm." Tobirama Senju had also noticed this key term.
And it wasn't just the two of them...
The term 'barrage' immediately spread throughout the shinobi world. They began using 'Barrage Wall' to refer to this massive milky-white rectangular pillar!
As soon as that previous 'barrage' comment appeared, it immediately received support from many people.
[That's right! Without Itachi, if Konoha had fought a civil war with the Uchiha after the Third War, the Fourth Great Ninja War would've broken out much earlier! Whether Konoha would even still exist is questionable! Don't forget that most of Konoha's fighters were dead by then]259 likes
[Forget about the Fourth War for now—I remember Danzo Shimura only told him to spare Sasuke, right? Or did Danzo tell him to spare others but he killed them anyway?? These haters are absolutely ridiculous]521 likes
Without Itachi Uchiha, the Fourth Great Ninja War might have broken out earlier?!!
What does that mean?!!
Isn't Itachi Uchiha a rogue ninja from Konoha?!!
And what about that earlier barrage comment saying Obito Uchiha also participated in the massacre?!
[There's no point talking to haters. They just pour their own malice onto the characters! They've long abandoned what "Naruto" was originally about!!]799 likes
Haters? Malice? Characters? Naruto?
The fixed beliefs of the Konoha ninja were suddenly shattered!
When faith and intelligence collided, their thoughts became chaotic!
The ninja looked toward the Third Hokage. Beneath the old man's calm exterior, there actually seemed to be... guilt?
Could there be hidden circumstances behind Itachi's massacre?!
But wasn't Itachi killed by his own brother, Sasuke Uchiha?!!
Just what kind of entanglement is hidden between them?!
"Lord Third—"
Someone couldn't help but ask, but Hiruzen Sarutobi raised his hand to stop them.
[Heh, why were all the capable fighters dead? Isn't it because the Third Hokage governed so well?!! Sakumo Hatake was driven to suicide, the Sannin left in disappointment, and don't even get me started on the Fourth! Shortly after taking office, he was basically pressured to death by Konoha's elder council working together]5 likes
"!!!!" The Konoha ninja were dumbstruck.
"Please don't easily believe what's written there!" The Reanimated Minato Namikaze immediately clarified. "As everyone knows, I died to stop the Nine-Tails. It has nothing to do with Lord Third or Konoha's elder council!"
"Phew—" The Konoha ninja clutched their chests. They'd almost been fooled.
"So it was fake news! I almost believed it."
"Yeah, scared me for a second!"
Kiba Inuzuka: "So what the hell are these people even saying?! Insulting the Hokage! Even supporting Sasuke killing the Hokage to take the position himself?! The Hokage position is MINE!!"
"Kiba, now's not the time to argue about the Hokage position." Shino Aburame: "If you ask me why, compared to us..." He looked toward Uzumaki Naruto and Sasuke Uchiha. Both their expressions could only be described as black as the bottom of a pot. "Sasuke and Naruto are way more furious than you."
Their friends from the same class all worried about the two, especially Naruto. The Hokage wasn't just his dream—it was his faith.
Watching the Hokage being so brazenly insulted, he must be absolutely exploding with rage!
Actually, it wasn't just about the Hokage. The insults toward his father and Sasuke's brother were also unbearable for Naruto!
But Sasuke's fury absolutely exceeded Naruto's!
His Sharingan spun in his pupils! Those were Itachi's eyes! The light Itachi had given him!
For Konoha, for the Uchiha's honor, for the entire shinobi world! For his little brother! Itachi had sacrificed his entire life!! Yet here he was being slandered by others' words!!!
These people weren't even ninja! They just knew some intelligence! They couldn't possibly understand their lives!!
His lungs felt like they were exploding with rage. His heart ached unbearably as if being stabbed with needles...
