Konoha: I, Ninja War Sakura, rely entirely on skills!

Chapter 328 Execution, Three Years, Wedding
Almost all the prominent figures among the Konoha ninjas had gathered at Konoha Square, along with a large number of villagers.

They all held their breath and stared silently at the scene before them.

The venue, which can hold tens of thousands of people, was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Under the blazing sun, Nadarui and the others could still endure it, but those so-called daimyo, who had been pampered since childhood, had never suffered like this before. Before long, their bodies were trembling and they were sweating profusely.

The Hokage on the high platform, dressed in a red and white Hokage robe, rested his cheek on one hand, his emerald eyes looking lazily at the dozens of people kneeling at his feet.

Who is in the audience?

The Hokage slightly opened his mouth, and Mitokado Homura immediately stepped forward, his voice booming like a great bell, showing no signs of age, and addressed the crowd below:
The Hokage asked, "Who is below the stage?"

The sound resounded throughout the hall, causing the nobles and dignitaries to tremble slightly.

“A sinful subject…a sinful citizen, Xia Dalu Long.”

"We have offended the Hokage before, and we hereby offer up the Land of Water as an expression of our remorse. We hope that His Hokage will forgive us."

The former daimyo of the Land of Water prostrated himself before the steps, raising his hands high the heavy seal representing the Land of Water.

"We humbly request Your Hokage's forgiveness!"

After he finished speaking, the so-called daimyo below all knelt down and raised their seals.

The Hokage, seated at the head of the table, watched this scene with a hint of boredom in her languid emerald eyes. She spoke softly:
"Someone, smash these stones!"

The sound wasn't loud, but it caused everyone present to stare in astonishment at the Hokage on the high platform.

Even if they didn't understand the Hokage's actions, some onlookers immediately began to agree.

"Smashed!"

"Smashed!"

"Smashed!"

This is the benefit of being so powerful that no one can stop you.

No matter what you do, even if no one understands, you will definitely have supporters.

Moreover, Konoha is now only one step away from conquering the world.

As the Hokage, Sakura was unchallenged.

As a group of ninjas appeared in the plaza, they snatched the seals from the daimyo and slammed them to the ground right in front of them!
As the emperor watched the seal he had played with for who knows how long being smashed in front of him, he felt a mix of emotions.

But at this moment, no one cared what they were thinking or how they felt.

As these famous figures... the commoners left the stage, Koharu Utatane glanced at them a couple more times.

These are the most powerful people in their respective countries, practically above everyone else.

Once this matter is settled, we can take stock of our family's assets for national use.

At this moment, only four people remain on the field.

Darui, Kankuro, Huangtu, Yuanshi.

These four individuals are representatives of the other four major ninja villages.

"Yūnin Darui, is willing to lead Yūnin to submit."

The white-haired, dark-skinned man shifted his knees, raised the Raikage seal in his hand, and looked up at the Hokage high above.

“Iwagakure Village… yellow earth, too… is willing to submit.”

Huang Tu looked at the man beside him, sighed inwardly, and could only helplessly raise the seal representing Tu Ying in his hand.

As the son of the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, the Hokage on the high platform is his father's killer.

But there is no way.

For the sake of Iwagakure, and to prevent blood from flowing into Iwagakure, Huang Tu had no choice but to kneel before the Hokage.

Then, Kankuro, trembling all over, offered up the Kazekage Seal.

As the son of Rasa, the younger brother of Temari, and the older brother of Gaara, his entire family, except for Gaara, died at the hands of the Hokage.

Now, asking him, who is only sixteen years old, to kneel before his enemy at the most impulsive, irritable, and hot-blooded age of his life, is far more painful than killing him.

But he couldn't not do it.

The seventy- or eighty-year-old Master Yuan seemed completely unconcerned.

He had long since come to terms with everything.

Nowadays, Kirigakure can't even find a suitable candidate for Mizukage.

Destruction is inevitable, so it's better to defect and surrender to the Hokage.

Moreover, among the reanimated beings on the battlefield in the Land of Frost, besides the ninjas from Konoha, the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, was the only one who didn't put in any real effort and even used the opportunity to help Konoha.

The Yuan general had no psychological burden whatsoever about surrendering.

And isn't there Mei Terumi in Konoha too?
No rush. That's life. Even if someone doesn't want to do something, someone else has to do it.

"Elder Yuan is already so old, why didn't you even bring him a stool?"

Mitomon En understood what was going on and then gave the order.

Immediately, someone brought a stool for the elderly man, who was over eighty years old.

"Thank you very much, Elder Yan."

Master Yuan rubbed his aching back and thanked Mitomon En.

Sakura ignored all of that and instead focused her gaze on Mei Terumi and Yugito, who were hiding behind the crowd.

Both women looked at this side with hesitant and worried expressions.

"The five great ninja villages have always been at odds, but now you have submitted to Konoha."

"Won't there be any objections from the village?"

Upon hearing this, Darui and the others' eyes narrowed instantly.

Just as the Hokage said, the voices of opposition almost occupied half of the village!

"Don't worry, Lord Hokage."

"I have finished cleaning up."

"The rebels are all here."

In Darui, while Kankuro and the others stood frozen in place, Genshi slowly took out a scroll from his rest area and handed it to a ninja standing nearby.

After receiving the Hokage's approval, the ninja went to an open area in the plaza and opened the scroll.

The moment the scroll was opened, countless dark figures poured out from it!

The stench of blood instantly filled the square!

Those were thousands of blood-soaked corpses!
The bright red blood stained the white paving stones in the square, and some of the more timid onlookers turned pale at the sight.

Even a ninja would feel a chill run down his spine upon seeing this scene.

Mei Terumi's beautiful eyes narrowed even more upon seeing this scene.

“These people disrespected the Hokage and attempted to rebel. They have been captured by this old man. I hope that His Hokage will show mercy to Kirigakure.”

Yuan Shi's voice remained calm and indifferent, his murky eyes fixed on the Fire Shadow on the high platform.

Even the Hokage paused for a moment at this scene, feeling a pang of emotion as he looked at the wrinkled old man below.

Old ginger is spicier; these people are all loyal ninjas of Kirigakure.

In just three days, he was killed without hesitation. His ruthlessness and efficiency were probably even inferior to those of Mitokado Homura.

"Elder Yuan, you're too kind."

The Hokage nodded slightly upon seeing this, then looked at the other three.

"I, I will bring the ringleader of the traitor to justice before His Hokage within seven days in Kumogakure!"

Darui gritted his teeth and spoke.

He had no choice but to do it because of the example set by the master.

Yuan Shi's actions not only won him the favor of the Hokage, but also set an example for the other three villages, which made others have no choice but to follow suit.

"The same is true for Iwagakure Village."

Huang Tu sighed.

“Sunagakure… Sunagakure Village, too… is like that.”

Kankuro's steel teeth were practically crushed at that moment.

After the crowd was dismissed, two more people were brought to the square.

Obito Uchiha and Orochimaru.

Both of them were in extremely poor condition at that moment.

Not only did they not drink any water for three days, but they also administered anesthetic every three hours to keep him unconscious and prevent him from escaping.

Only then did the two gradually come to their senses.

"Uchiha Obito, a sinner, has committed heinous crimes!"

"Eighteen years ago, although he had contributed to Konoha, he was misled by Madara Uchiha, lost his sense of right and wrong, and became ungrateful. In the 48th year of Konoha, he attacked Konoha and released the Nine-Tails, which led to the sacrifice of his mentor, the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze. After that, he opposed Konoha in the Fourth Shinobi World War, causing countless deaths and injuries."

"They even attempted to trap the world in an illusion, ultimately leading to the annihilation of humanity!" "Their crimes are countless; they deserve... to be torn apart by chariots!"

"Sinner Orochimaru!"

"As a disciple of the Third Hokage, and a fellow student of the current Fifth Hokage, I was raised by Konoha and received all the knowledge and skills from Lord Hiruzen!"

“He was heartless and treacherous, a traitor to Konoha. The Third Hokage was too soft-hearted to kill him.”

"Unexpectedly, Orochimaru joined forces with Sunagakure to attack Konoha in the sixtieth year of the Shinobi World War, intending to assassinate the Third Hokage. During the Fourth and Fifth Shinobi World Wars, he openly became an enemy of Konoha!"

"They even attempted to assassinate the Fifth Generation, putting him in grave danger!"

"Not only that, they also colluded with the Communist Party of China to study taboos, using children under ten years old and even newborns for research. Their crimes are heinous, and killing them is the only way to appease public anger!"

"As punishment... slow slicing!"

Orochimaru looked at the countless ferocious gazes before him that seemed to want to devour him, and felt the impermanence of life.

Was my choice wrong back then?
Orochimaru asked himself a question.

No... he did nothing wrong!

He felt the same way when the knife scraped against his skin.

One hundred dollars.

Two hundred dollars.

Five hundred dollars.

A thousand knives.

$1,500!

"I was wrong."

Orochimaru was now completely unrecognizable as a human being; his body was a gruesome sight, with blood flowing everywhere.

As for Obito Uchiha, he was already dead.

He was the only one still enduring this seemingly endless torture.

But what good is it for him to know he's wrong at this moment?
A total of three thousand six hundred dollars, and two thousand one hundred dollars are still waiting for him!
……

In an instant, the entire ninja world was in turmoil, and nations across the land turned against Konoha.

Konoha acted swiftly, quickly silencing all dissenting voices.

The leader was none other than Itachi Uchiha, who had replaced his Sharingan with the most ordinary three-tomoe Sharingan.

Holding his sword, and looking at the special squad organized entirely by the Chakra Armor Force, Itachi Uchiha gazed at everything before him, his heart as still as a deep well.

Even if he didn't want to do these things, it was all for the sake of peace.

He could only keep hypnotizing himself.

He is atoning for his sins.

He would spend his entire life atoning for his sins.

As he personally severed one head after another, Itachi Uchiha felt only numbness.

At this moment, thanks to the efficient cleanup efforts of Konoha's Chakra Armor Squad, all dissenting voices were swept away.

An unprecedentedly vast empire rose from this land that had been in turmoil for thousands of years.

National title...

Tianhe.

It means "a galaxy of stars".

The imperial journey leads to the stars and the sea!

—Three years—

"Come!"

"Smile, newcomer!"

Three years have passed, and under the rule of Emperor Qin Shi Huang, the lives of people in various places have gradually stabilized.

The seed improvement program previously undertaken by Yamato has already been completed with promising results, and sowing has begun nationwide.

Meanwhile, Hashirama Senju and Yamato spent their days wandering the wilderness, using Wood Release to plant trees everywhere.

Meanwhile, two years ago, oases began to appear in the desert that originally belonged to the Kingdom of Wind and is now renamed the Great Wind Protectorate, and the oases are spreading extremely rapidly.

In just two years, the oasis swallowed up half of the desert.

Konoha is no longer the same size as before. Under the design of Konoha's chief architect, An Lushan, it has become a city with a very modern character.

Every now and then, you can see airships built by Tobirama Senju using sky fortress technology slowly flying between skyscrapers.

Meanwhile, in a lush green park within Konoha, a couple is holding their wedding.

"Kakashi-senpai, cheer up!"

Why do you have such a stiff face?

Ino, with her beige ponytail, looked at Kakashi, who seemed like a block of wood, with some dissatisfaction.

"Okay, okay."

Kakashi responded somewhat awkwardly.

"Sister Ming, hold onto Kakashi-senpai's arm."

Ino waved to the bride.

"Hmm~~~"

Mei Terumi, dressed in a white wedding gown, took Kakashi's arm with a charming smile and leaned against him.

"it is good!"

"That's it!"

With a crisp click, the image of the two was captured in the photograph.

"Well!"

"Kakashi-senpai is really too lame!"

As the photo shoot ended, a tall, blond young man with a buzz cut walked over with a grin, wanting to see how the photos turned out.

"After all, it's the first time."

"Naruto, you weren't much better back then either."

Ino waved the camera in her hand, looking at the blond youth with a mocking expression, which made Naruto feel a little embarrassed. He tried to explain himself, but helplessly realized that he didn't seem to have any right to comment on Kakashi.

"Well, I didn't realize you were so shy."

"I've never seen you like this before?"

"Dear~ dear~"

Mei Shirami, dressed in a wedding gown, was stunningly beautiful. She gazed at Kakashi, who had removed his mask, her emerald eyes practically glued to him.

"Ming, there are still so many people watching..."

Kakashi was finding it hard to withstand Mei's intense gaze.

He always felt like the other person would take advantage of him completely.

Mei Terumi looked in the direction Kakashi was looking.

Yellow soil, black soil, Darui, Matsuri, Nara Shikamaru, Might Guy, Asuma, Sasuke, Hikari, Karin...

Most of them were old acquaintances.

"I don't mind, so why would you mind..."

After saying that, Mei Terumi disregarded her image and jumped onto Kakashi's back in her wedding dress, wrapping her arms around his neck. This scene was captured by Ino, who had quick eyes and hands.

"Wuhu, successful capture!"

Ino was very satisfied with her masterpiece.

"Let me see it, let me see it!"

Naruto tries to snatch the camera from Ino's hand.

"Idiot Naruto!"

"Behave yourself!"

Before Naruto could make a scene, Karin, who was already nineteen years old, punched him.

"hey-hey."

Naruto took his wife's fist and held it in his hand, which made Karin blush.

This guy is really something...

There are so many people watching...
