Naruto: The Strongest Training System

Chapter 30: The Crowd's Accusations

If you can't even respect others, then you shouldn't expect to be respected by others. Because respect is only reserved for those who know how to respect others. A person like you could never gain the respect of others.

Orion stood straight on the street of the Konoha ninja village, his face grim as he quietly watched Hyuga Hefeng standing in front of me. He didn't say a word, just stood there silently, watching him.

The people walking on the street all stopped in their tracks. Some of the bolder ones stood directly near me and him, forming a circle. And Orion was standing in the center of this circle.

There were also some who were more timid or didn't want to stir up trouble. They had originally wanted to leave directly, but seeing more and more pedestrians on the road stopping and gathering around him and that Hyuga Hefeng person, they also decided not to leave.

It was also because their gossip-loving souls began to burn fiercely that they stopped in their tracks. However, those who were timid or didn't want to cause trouble didn't get close to me. They just found a place where they could clearly see the drama unfold and watched Orion from afar.

As there were more and more people on the scene, and more and more people watching the show, the atmosphere on the scene became more and more tense. There were even some who weren't afraid of trouble and started chatting right next to the circle that had been formed, their voices at about the same volume as normal conversation.

There were quite a few people surrounding Orion now, and among them, many were quite bold. So, as soon as someone started a topic, everyone began to chat heatedly. And what these people said made the face of that Hyuga clan member grow uglier and uglier.

One of the onlookers who had gathered looked left and right, lowered his body, and secretly said to a person next to him, "Hey, do you know what's going on here?"

That person heard someone talking to them, so they also turned their head, looked at the person talking to her, and said to him with a helpless expression, "I don't know! I saw so many people gathered here, so I also came over to see what was going on, to see why so many people were gathered here."

Just after that person finished speaking, another person joined their conversation. "You guys don't know what's going on here? I was here the whole time just now. I know what happened here."

"You know what happened? Quick, quick, tell me what happened here, why are so many people gathered here?"

That person looked at him eagerly, wanting to know what had happened. The other person also looked at him eagerly, very much wanting to know about this matter.

After all, to be able to stand here and spontaneously form a circle, these people couldn't possibly not be gossips. If they weren't gossips, they would have left directly and wouldn't have stayed here to watch the excitement.

The person who knew what had happened smiled smugly, looked at the two eager people in front of him, and said to them slowly, "You two come here, come a little closer. Let me tell you, this is what happened."

The person who knew the course of events spoke very excitedly. As he spoke, drops of saliva would fly from his mouth from time to time. Some of that saliva even sprayed onto the faces of the other two people, but those two didn't pay attention to this small matter. They were not disturbed in the slightest and listened intently to that person's explanation.

After talking for a while, the informant's mouth was a little dry before he finally finished telling the whole story. When that person was done, the two who had been in the dark finally knew what had happened.

According to the informant, that older child was really not a good person. At such a young age, his mouth was already so venomous. The other child, Orion, had only accidentally bumped into that person because he hadn't seen him.

But the matter didn't end there. If it had ended so quickly, it wouldn't have attracted so many people to watch.

After that child accidentally bumped into the person, he also fell down himself. But it was nothing serious, and he quickly got back up. After getting up, he even apologized to the person who was knocked down and extended a hand to help him up.

But the unexpected happened at this moment. When the person who was knocked down saw Orion extend his hand to help him up, he slapped that hand away at once, not wanting to be helped up.

After the person who was knocked down got up, he not only didn't accept Orion's apology but also directly gave him a harsh scolding. The things he said were so nasty that it's estimated no one could stand to listen to them.

But the result of this was that it attracted a large number of people to come and watch. Only a few people had actually seen the course of events. A large number of people had just seen that many people were gathered here, and due to their gossipy nature and desire to watch a show, they also rushed over one after another.

After the two people heard the whole story, they also felt a great deal of hatred in their hearts for that child who looked slightly older. His mouth was already so venomous at such a young age; what would he be like when he grew up?

So, the two people wanted to let others know about this matter. They began to tell the people who were closer to them one after another. While speaking, they would from time to time point at that child with the venomous mouth. Just like that, one told two, two told four, and it began to spread at the speed of a virus.

Not much time passed before basically everyone on the scene who wanted to watch the excitement knew about the situation. After knowing, they all began to criticize that child one after another, constantly speaking ill of him.

They said how bad Hyuga Hefeng was, how venomous his mouth was. Some people even said that Konoha shouldn't have such a person, and also said that it was pitiful for Orion to be scolded like that by Hyuga Hefeng.

As the saying goes, gossip is a fearful thing. What people say can sometimes be very terrifying. It can have a very great power. It can control your emotions and make you become irrational without you even realizing it.

When one person speaks, criticizing another, you can still ignore it. But if the number of people speaking increases, it can be very difficult to ignore. After all, people are social creatures and are very concerned about what others say.

Now, so many people on the scene were all criticizing Hyuga Hefeng, speaking ill of him. In fact, Hyuga Hefeng was already very angry and furious. But there was nothing he could do. He couldn't control what other people said, and he had no right to control them either.

Hyuga Hefeng trembled with anger amidst the accusations of the crowd. His eyes had long since widened to their maximum from the others' accusations, and the color of his eyes had also long since turned bright red. At this moment, Hyuga Hefeng was like a mindless, crazed bull, his expression utterly frantic.
