Chapter 131 Information Cocoon

Time flies, and the years pass by like a shuttle.

In the blink of an eye, two years have passed.

In April of the 43rd year of Konoha, Kakashi passed the graduation exam and became a glorious Genin at the age of five.

In the following year, in February of the 44th year of Konoha, he passed the Chunin exam and became a Chunin.

Since then, Kakashi has replaced Orochimaru and become the representative and even the standard of measurement of the new generation of geniuses in Konoha Village.

If you can't even graduate at the age of five and become a Chunin at the age of six, what kind of Chunin are you?

But Kakashi's brilliance also strengthened Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo's determination to frame Hatake Sakumo.

The reason is simple. Even if you are awesome, Hatake Sakumo is a small family with a sparse population. At most, you can sit on the position of Hokage and the next generation will take it back!

Politics is the art of compromise. In any case, except for the Security Department, all major departments of Konoha Village are controlled by Sarutobi and Shimura. Even if you, Hatake Sakumo, come to power, there is no one to use if you want to change people.

But it’s different now. Your son is too dazzling!

Not only is your son talented, but he is also strong. What is this? This is a sure seedling of Hokage!

The appearance of such an outstanding son will make the ninjas and talented civilian ninjas who were originally in a wavering state firmly choose to follow Hatake Sakumo.

The reason is simple. Following Hatake Sakumo can at least ensure that you stand on the right side twice!

Moreover, Hatake Sakumo’s family is small, which means it is easy to control Sarutobi Hiruzen, but it is also a benefit for others, because no matter how nepotistic Hatake Sakumo is, he only has one son.

More positions will always be given up!

Unlike Sarutobi Hiruzen, who has many people and even more family members, he can’t wait to arrange all the dogs of Sarutobi’s family to Konoha Village to eat a share of the emperor’s food.

From this perspective, whether it is the ninja clan or the common people, they all hope that Hatake Sakumo will take the position!

So less than an hour after Hatake Kakashi was promoted to Chunin, Danzo had already rushed to the Hokage's office.

At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen was wearing a pair of glasses and flipping through a book.

I don't know what happened to the Fire Country in the past two years. Not only did the books published change to horizontal layout, but the printed words were also very small.

Sarutobi Hiruzen originally felt that it was a bit difficult to read such books, but an eyeglass merchant gave him a pair of glasses, and then it was much better.

"What's the hurry?" Sarutobi Hiruzen asked unhappily: "Come in without knocking!"

"Why knock at the door at this time?" Danzo's tone became more angry: "The kid from the Hatake family was promoted to Chunin? Didn't I ask you to suppress him?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen rolled his eyes: "You think he is a dough, you can suppress him if you want. There is no one in the entire examination room who can beat him. He even got full marks in the theoretical exam without cheating!"

Danzo was speechless.

If he cheated, no matter how clever his methods were, the Hokage's people would have reason to kick him out.

But if he didn't cheat and relied on his strength, what would you do?

Facing the father and son of Hatake Sakumo and Hatake Kakashi, Sarutobi Hiruzen also felt a headache.

Attacking a person is nothing more than attacking from the perspectives of justice and personal morality, but Hatake Sakumo has made countless contributions and has never failed in his mission. He even killed important figures from the enemy village on the battlefield.

This important person may even be the next Kazekage!

The prestige is too heavy!

In terms of personal morality, Hatake Sakumo is not greedy for money or lustful. He is even extremely loyal to his family and has not remarried even after his wife died for many years.

He also loves his subordinates very much and likes to promote newcomers. Even people like Might K and Might Dai, who are not very popular in the whole village, are not stingy with praise.

This is simply a moral saint!

Okay, you are a saint, you are invincible, then how about I attack your son?

Maybe he is a playboy?

As a result, Kakashi graduated at the age of five and became a Chunin at the age of six. He is a genius among geniuses!

Under the light of genius, no one cares even if he is a playboy, because this is Konoha Village, and people are all strong!

Not to mention Kakashi is not!

"So just watch the Hatake clan rise?" Danzo said coldly: "It's just a ruined samurai family. It was fortunate to be given a surname by the first generation. Just because of a little merit, it can be on an equal footing with us?"

Danzo has another reason to be hostile to Hatake Sakumo, that is, they are not from the same circle.

Sarutobi family, Shimura family, which one is not a family that has been passed down for hundreds of years.

What about Hatake?

To put it nicely, it is a small family. To put it bluntly, it is a ruined family that can't make it as a samurai and switched to being a ninja.

Why can you catch up with the efforts of several generations of our family in ten years?

"Don't say that!" Sarutobi Hiruzen knocked on the table: "Now is the era of Konoha, don't use your old ideas anymore, since young people have talent, we should give them opportunities!"

"Give you another chance?" Danzo said unhappily: "If I give you another chance, you will have to give up the position of Hokage!"

It doesn't matter if you give up the position, just give it to me!

"Hokage, it's not that easy to be one!" Sarutobi Hiruzen said faintly: "Back then, I also went through the test of life and death. Now, it's his turn!"

Speaking of the test, Danzo's facial features suddenly twisted together.

I wanted to speak too, but he got the better of me!

Ahhhhh! Damn bastard, you're bringing this up again now.

But now is not the time to think about these things, let's get rid of the competitor Hatake Sakumo first.

"Leave this matter to me, I will definitely handle him perfectly!" Danzo said quickly.

Sarutobi Hiruzen curled his lips. Look, Danzo will jump in without even opening his mouth.

"It's a test, not a success!" Sarutobi Hiruzen reminded.

"I understand!" Danzo nodded nonchalantly, then turned around and went back to make arrangements.

Sarutobi Hiruzen read the book with peace of mind.

With Danzo taking action, Hatake Sakumo probably won't have the chance to become Hokage again.

I just don’t know what means Danzo will use to defeat Hatake Sakumo, I’m really looking forward to it!

Little did he know that his chat with Danzo was instantly transmitted to a building not far from the Hokage's office building.

This place is the Konoha Intelligence Department. A ninja is watching the lines of writing automatically emerge from the pages of the book. When the page is full, he does not have to do anything. The pages will be pushed out automatically under the operation of the machine, and then the next page will begin. Keep writing.

After reaching a certain thickness, they are bound together and then handed over to a higher-level intelligence organization.

This is a device that combines machinery, sealing, incantation, paper escape, ink escape, and sound escape. It is called an automatic writing machine.

This machine is widely used in departments at all levels of the Ning organization. All meetings must be recorded by the automatic recording machine.

Not to prevent human recorders from making typos, but this thing is really convenient.

However, Hiruzen Sarutobi had never heard of such a widely used machine, let alone seen it.

It's not that he, the third generation, is incompetent, but that there are no other people around him, so that he has been surrounded by the information cocoon built by Ning's organization!

Information cocooning is a concept that emerged in the Internet era. It means that the Internet uses big data to count a person's gender, preferences, and chat preferences, and then pushes relevant content specifically for them.

Over time, this person has been locked in an online world that is only relevant to him. Things that are not relevant to him will never be pushed to him by the network as long as he does not actively search for them.

The situation of Sarutobi Hiruzen is similar.

He has a good habit of keeping files on all task orders and business orders he annotated.

This is something that any ninja clan with a long heritage will do, because their descendants will rely on these files to absorb nutrition and knowledge.

Why are the descendants of politicians more likely to become politicians? People are influenced by it. Is it not easy?

But these files also make it easier for Ningyuan to build an information cocoon for them.

By analyzing all the past annotations of Hiruzen Sarutobi, we can understand Hiruzen Sarutobi's language, diction, personality, and reaction habits. Then we encounter another thing. Even if Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't read it, Ning Yuan... Bian already knew how he would handle it.

By analyzing all the tasks in the 42 years since the establishment of Konoha, we can summarize all the types of tasks received by Konoha Village.

Many of these missions no longer exist after the Fire Nation was controlled by the Ning organization, such as bandit suppression missions and escort missions.

The bandits have been wiped out by the Ning organization, so why do we still need bandits and escorts?

But in order not to make Sarutobi Hiruzen suspicious, Ning Yuan still used the huge manpower and material resources of the Fire Country to fabricate a large number of related tasks to deal with Konoha Village.

Is it difficult?

It's actually very difficult. How difficult is it to act with thousands of ninjas without letting them see any flaws?

But soon Ningyuan discovered another bug in Konoha Village.

Various tasks in Konoha Village are based on teams, that is, a configuration of one chuunin and three genin, or one jounin and three genin.

It's nothing more than one jounin and three chuunin.

I dispatched four Jonin, didn't I take down this team properly?

To be on the safe side, eight jounin are dispatched!

In fact, there is no need to take down all of them, just take down the Jonin, because Konoha ninjas have been taught to listen to the captain since they were young.

There are only 150 jounin and 500 chuunin registered ninjas in Konoha. Through exquisite construction tasks and dispatched by Tsunade Orochimaru, those who are willing to join Ning's organization will be marked with a curse seal, and those who are unwilling to join will be marked with a curse seal.

In just one year, all the ninjas in Konoha who could go out on missions had joined the Ning organization!

At this point, Konoha Village, and even the Country of Fire, are still in a state of freedom, except that there are too many low-level ninjas and civilians with little independent will.

Regardless of whether they are voluntarily or forced, all the top ninjas and nobles have joined the Ning organization.

What Sarutobi Hiruzen sees and hears every day is what the Ning organization wants him to see and hear!

This set of flaws created by the Ning organization is actually quite big. As long as Sarutobi Hiruzen goes for a walk, he can see that roads are being built everywhere, schools are being built everywhere, and factories are being set up everywhere.

By then the drama can't go on, and I'm afraid I'll have to take action against Sarutobi Hiruzen.

That would be boring.

But Hiruzen Sarutobi was even worse than Ningyuan. He would never leave the village unless necessary, so he would never discover this problem.
