The orphan girl 's death came as hard news to the general population of Konoha and many of the civilians raised their voices in anger. At first, it was towards the Police and the orphanage, but eventually, most of their resentment was redirected towards the Hokage and the Council, after finding out ' very conveniently, by the way of Haruno Mebuki ' that they had dawdled with providing the Uchiha proper access to the missing kids ' case.

The situation on its own felt both like a blessing and a disaster to Sakura. For once, yes, Konoha 's citizens, civilians and shinobi alike, were questioning the people in power, but she could only dread what a potential uprising could result in. Their village was a military state, after all, and since Danzo and his cronies had no qualms about silencing individuals, it wasn 't hard to imagine a massive apprehension of sorts. Or even worse.
