As Aizen in Naruto and Joined a Chat Group Chapter 487: War Approaching?

"Damn it, this is fake!" DeKola clutched his head and shouted, "A scam! All a scam!" Shouting, he ran off into the distance.

"Hey, Mr. Malfoy!"

"Wait for me!"

Seeing this, his lackeys quickly followed, completely abandoning Harry and the others in front of them.

"What’s wrong with him?" Ron looked at DeKola’s retreating back, completely baffled, and said, "Did he go crazy?"

"It’s probably because this news hit him hard," Hermione mused for a moment before replying, "He was just saying earlier that noble pure-bloods would never do such a loathsome thing."

"Oh, he’s showing his true colors," Harry said, a bit gleeful, which made him feel much better. "But it really is surprising. Are these pure-bloods really this dirty?"

Although he detested the entire pure-blood family because he detested Malfoy, he had previously only hated their arrogance, rudeness, and condescension. He never expected them to be so dirty and vile.

To abuse their house-elves, they even specially built a basement. This is almost anti-human.

"Hey, guys... if we really think about it, you and I are pure-bloods too," Ron said, scratching his head with some distress. "Are we going to get dragged into this with them?"

"Don’t worry, we’re different," Harry winked. "We don’t pride ourselves on being pure-blood, and we don’t think pure-bloods are superior."

"That’s true," Ron agreed with a nod. "That way, even if the house-elves retaliate, they won’t come after us. We don’t have any house-elves at home..."

"I think this isn’t just about revenge," Hermione said softly, looking at the newspaper in Ron’s hand. "This must be some kind of premeditated plan. Absolutely!"

"What do you mean?" Harry and Ron both turned their gaze to her.

"If it were just about revenge, wouldn’t its purpose have been achieved long ago?" Hermione pointed to the newspaper. "They even imprisoned Mr. and Mrs. Pollard and intended to put them on public trial."

"You mean..." Harry seemed to understand something, a hint of surprise on his face.

"Its revenge was achieved long ago, so why would it brazenly accept an interview with the media?" Hermione let out a sigh. "And it contacted the Daily Prophet? It’s just a house-elf with no connections. It should be on the wanted list. But now it’s acting so calmly. There must be something wrong here!"

"Is there a big shot behind this, pushing things along?" Ron also understood, frowning. "But what’s their goal?"

"I’m afraid it’s about controlling public opinion," Hermione raised an eyebrow. "They will definitely have other plans next. As for what those plans are, I can’t guess yet."

"War!" Harry Potter suddenly said. "That person wants to start a war between house-elves and wizards! Damn it, what that guy said is actually true!"

"War, war?" Ron’s eyes widened, and he gasped. "Are you kidding me? How is that possible..."

Hermione, however, noticed another detail and asked curiously, "That guy?"

"Yes, it’s a house-elf named Dobby," Harry Potter no longer hid it and explained to his companions, "He once told me that war was coming and that I should prepare myself. Only someone like me could truly stop this meaningless war. It also said that house-elves should serve their masters; that’s the meaning of a house-elf’s existence."

"I don’t think that’s the meaning of a house-elf’s existence," Hermione shook her head, disagreeing. "Every intelligent species should be born equal, and there shouldn’t be such differences between high and low."

"But the war it mentioned is too terrifying. Is it really going to lead to war?" Ron swallowed. "I don’t want to die at the hands of house-elves."

"If we follow the direction of public opinion in this newspaper, it is indeed possible,"

Hermione pondered for a moment and said softly, "Even after war breaks out, they can still argue their righteousness on a moral level. With these preconditions, even most wizards will think they are a righteous rebellion. What a brilliant plan!"

Hermione sighed inwardly, genuinely admiring the mastermind behind this. By using a propaganda offensive to put themselves on the moral high ground, even if they did ignite a war between elves and wizards, the wizards would likely be in the wrong.

In that case, they had already won the first move. Even if the wizards won the war, any conscientious wizard would not consider themselves a victor.

Public opinion warfare is indeed a form of warfare; Hermione now had a deeper understanding of Gerard’s previous words.

Furthermore, her admiration for Gerard had grown even stronger. She felt that without his guidance, she might not have seen the truth of the matter.

"Now is not the time to praise," Ron said anxiously, burning with impatience. "The key is how we stop the war from happening. Even if the elves’ actions to start this war are justified, that person behind it is definitely not righteous!"

"There will be many deaths in a war, and we really need to stop it," Harry nodded in agreement.

He didn’t really understand the meaning or definition of war, only that war led to deaths. This was very bad, extremely bad. Wizards and house-elves should coexist harmoniously; war was always wrong.

"We need to tell the professors," Hermione also felt that the person pushing this matter had ulterior motives, but she didn’t think they could stop it with their own strength. "If we want to stop it, we need to act quickly."

She planned to talk to her idol after school, believing that Professor Zickrein would definitely have the ability to handle it.

However, at this time, she was unaware that the mastermind behind this entire event was actually closely related to her idol.
