Public executions started with King Adonai

Shukaku: "What information?"

Gaara was silent for a moment, then said, "'Believe her'."

Shukaku was stunned: "Believe her? That's it?"

Gaara nodded, "That's it."

Shukaku blinked and scratched his head, "Okay! Then do you know where the 'she' you're talking about is?"

Gaara did not answer, and his consciousness returned to the real world from the consciousness space at this moment.

After taking a look at the Sand Village, he headed straight in one direction.

That direction was exactly where Fujimaru Tachibana and the others were.

The camera switched and returned to where Minato Namikaze and the others were.

At this time, Minato Namikaze looked slightly excited because he was holding a scroll in his hand. It was the message scroll sent by the Third Hokage, indicating that Uzumaki Naruto had returned to Konoha.

There is no doubt that as an old father, Minato Namikaze has very high confidence in his son, and Uzumaki Naruto's ability to deal with giant enemies is definitely stronger than that of his old father who specializes in killing.

If Uzumaki Naruto could come over, then there would still be a chance of solving Shukaku's problem.

But then, Namikaze Minato showed a gloomy look. Because of the series of battles and the repeated use of Flying Thunder God Technique during the retreat, his chakra was extremely consumed, and the ninjas who could form the Flying Thunder God Formation had also been killed or injured in the previous battles, leaving only one survivor.

In this situation, Minato Namikaze had no way of returning to Konoha directly and bringing Uzumaki Naruto over.

If he went straight back, Minato Namikaze felt that he could still hold on, but now the remaining army could not do without him, the only one who could lead them all.

If Minato Namikaze left at this time, the remaining 2,000-man army would be finished - if Shukaku broke free from the seal and chose to catch up, the entire army would be wiped out.

Moreover, Fujimaru Tachibana and the others are also here, and Namikaze Minato no longer has the ability to take the three girls away with him, so this is a dead end.

After thinking for a while, Minato Namikaze immediately wrote a scroll, explaining the situation here and stating the fact that support was needed.

Then, he sealed the scroll into a special communication scroll and prayed in his heart that Konoha could perform reverse communication as soon as possible and send the urgent letter back.

As for Minato Namikaze himself, he was leading a large army to evacuate while taking military pills to restore his chakra as much as possible.

The background music was very heavy throughout the whole process, and at the end of the shot, it showed a large army with low morale and almost everyone evacuating with injuries.

There is no doubt that such a remnant army, which includes some civilians besides ninjas, has almost lost its combat effectiveness.

If they are attacked by Shukaku again, the only outcome will be annihilation of the entire army.

In fact, the best way at this time is to abandon the civilians and the wounded who are unable to move, and Minato Namikaze quickly evacuates with the ninjas who can still move.

In this way, at least some people can survive.

If a leader is rational and ruthless enough, he will definitely do so.

Of course, cowardly leaders who are afraid of death will do the same.

However, Minato Namikaze was not such a person. He chose to save all the remaining people. He took the time to recover his chakra and was always ready to delay the enemy as a rearguard after the enemy caught up with him.

The reason has been thought of, that is, he possesses the Flying Thunder God Technique and has a first-class ability to protect his life. Even if he is responsible for covering the rear, he can use the Flying Thunder God Technique to escape in dangerous moments.

It seems to be true, but in the eyes of people in the real world, Namikaze Minato is just setting a mad flag, which is basically no different from "I will go back to my hometown and get married after winning this battle."

This made Uzumaki Kushina in the real world feel sick with stomachache, and she was so panicked that she simply called and got angry at Minato Namikaze, asking him to stop setting up flags casually.

Minato Namikaze was confused by what he said, but because it was his wife who was angry, he had to keep nodding and said that he would never make random promises.

……

The image on the light screen ended with Minato Namikaze frantically raising the flag and the large army continuing on their journey.

The camera then switched back to Konoha, where the sun had already set and people were starting to go back to rest.

However, the Hokage Building continued to operate, and the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen also stayed at his post.

After all, the situation in the Wind Kingdom is still unclear, so we need to wait.

As mentioned before, although the method of using sealing techniques and reverse spiritualism to communicate remotely is very fantastic, it is still very inconvenient and cannot achieve completely instant communication like modern technological creations.

Letters that are used for long-distance communication through sealed scrolls and the art of reverse spiritualism are all reverse spiritualized every once in a while. If something can be communicated, it means that information is being transmitted. If nothing can be communicated, then there is no information.

In addition, the scrolls used as anti-spiritual seals have a limited number of uses, so when the situation is not urgent, communication is generally carried out once a day to ensure the service life of the scrolls.

Communications will only become more frequent during wartime, but usually only up to three or four times a day, or an average of once every six hours.

Therefore, although the message was sent, it was normal not to receive a reply immediately. Sarutobi Hiruzen and the ninjas waited patiently and did not rush to use the reverse summoning technique. After all, it would be a waste if it was used too many times.

In fact, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not choose to try to summon the spirits at the usual six-hour intervals. He felt that it would be okay to wait for four hours before performing a reverse summoning. Now that he had already waited for three hours, he could wait one more hour and try to perform a reverse summoning.

After all, it would only take a few hours, and there shouldn't be any problems in the Wind Country - at least that's what Sarutobi Hiruzen and his think tanks thought.

This made the blood pressure of people in the real world soar. Countless people wanted to rush in and hold down Sarutobi Hiruzen's head, forcing him to quickly perform reverse summoning. After all, it was very clear how bad the situation in the Wind Country was, and the urgency of Minato Namikaze's letter for help was also shown by people in the real world.

In this situation, time is life. Sarutobi Hiruzen is simply courting death by dragging his feet like this.

However, such resentment cannot change anything. In fact, Sarutobi Hiruzen's behavior seems very "lazy" in the real world, but it is already very urgent in the ninja world.

It can only be said that Sarutobi Hiruzen still looked at this rescue with an old perspective, and felt that even if the situation changed suddenly, he would not be caught off guard. After all, he had confidence in Konoha's golden flash and was confident in Konoha's future fourth-generation Hokage.

What's more, Kikyo, the demon-slaying shrine maiden, was also going with them.

So, how could the rescue team sent to save Sunagakure lose? Just tell him Sarutobi Hiruzen, how could the rescue team lose?

This behavior is simply full of flags, but the truth is so cruel that nothing can be changed.

Then, darkness finally fell completely on Konoha.

Now that it was night, Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke were seen quietly staying on the Hokage Rock, looking at the night view of Konoha.

Looking at the smoke from stoves everywhere in Konoha when people returned home after a busy day at get off work, and the happy atmosphere of the family, Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke both showed a look of reminiscence on their faces.

Obviously, the scene brought back memories for the two of them, and they thought of their families and the Konoha they once had.

Unfortunately, things have changed and the past is no longer there. Although this Konoha is still Konoha, it is no longer the Konoha in the two people's memories.

Perhaps in the future, Konoha will become similar to the one in their memories, but it will no longer be their Konoha.

By then, there will be another Uzumaki Naruto and another Uchiha Sasuke, and everything those two people have will belong only to those two people. To the current Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke, they will be just similar strangers.

Well, the images on the screen were accompanied by a slightly sad background music, which brought a wave of literary and artistic style. Many people in the real world felt uncomfortable after watching it, and said, "It hurts, it hurts too much."

Then, the real pain came.

Suddenly, there were loud booming sounds and huge explosions occurred in various places in Konoha. The fierce roar and flames rushed up, shaking the warm atmosphere of Konoha and making it disappear.

Chapter 656: Danzo's Mangekyō Sharingan Abilities

It was very sudden, at least for the people in the image on the screen. The explosion came very suddenly and without any signs, as if someone suddenly transformed into 'Allahu Akbar', catching everyone off guard.

Moreover, the explosion was very large, and it exploded in many places in Konoha. The roar was endless, and in an instant, the originally peaceful and tranquil Konoha Village seemed to have turned into a war-torn area.

The Root ninjas dressed in black took action and began to attack the ninjas of Konoha.

Although the ninjas of Konoha are all companions, this is Shimura Danzo's order and they must obey.

The Root ninjas who have been brainwashed since childhood will unconditionally execute Shimura Danzo's orders even if they feel doubtful and hesitant in their hearts.

Moreover, the Root ninjas were all under a curse and seal, making them completely unable to resist Shimura Danzo's orders.

"Well……"

The camera turned and came to an alley about 500 meters outside the Hokage Building, where a middle-aged ninja was killed.

Before he died, he looked at the person who killed him with an expression of disbelief: "Who... are you..."

Along with this voice, Danzo Shimura appeared on the light screen with a cold expression, without a trace of emotion.

Seeing this, the ninjas following Danzo Shimura all trembled slightly, as if they were afraid and couldn't bear it.

Shimura Danzo sensed it and asked coldly without turning his head, "Do you have any questions?"

Upon hearing this, the Root ninjas lowered their heads in fear. One of them whispered, "No, I just feel that such a Jonin is also very precious to Danzo-sama. It would be a pity to kill him like this."

Upon hearing this, Shimura Danzo sneered with pleasure: "No, these are all necessary sacrifices. They are stepping stones for me to become the Hokage. Everyone who died in Konoha tonight, including him, will feel honored for this."

"Because it was their blood donation that paved the way for Konoha to welcome the greatest Hokage it has ever seen."

"Everything is for Konoha to have a bright future!"

The shameless remarks as usual are really hard to watch.

There is no doubt that Danzo Shimura is now a slave to his desires, and all his actions and will are driven by the desires to satisfy them.

In order to achieve what he desires, it doesn't matter who he has to kill or who he has to sacrifice.

The old man who once claimed that he bore the darkness in order to protect Konoha, his so-called Konoha has completely turned into 'Konoha for his own' - as long as he can obtain Konoha and become Hokage, it doesn't matter even if all the people in Konoha die.

In the face of Shimura Danzo's shameless remarks, the Root ninjas remained silent.

However, Shimura Danzo continued to talk. He seemed to be explaining, but in fact he was talking to himself: "Yes, I have mastered the power of Hashirama's cells and obtained the Mangekyō Sharingan. I am the God of Ninja and the Shura of the Ninja World combined!"

"Just like when the Shodaime-sama and Uchiha Madara joined forces to create Konoha, I now possess the power of those two strongest men in the ninja world. I can also be like them. Even if all the people in Konoha die, as long as I become Hokage, I can re-establish a new Konoha!"

Having said this, he was suddenly stunned for a moment, as if he had suddenly figured something out. His eyes widened with enlightenment, followed by an excited grin: "Yes! That's right! That's it!"

"So, the Konoha that bears Sarutobi's deep mark now is not the Konoha I want at all! The Konoha I need is the Konoha that belongs only to me, the Konoha that bears my mark alone!"

"Yes Yes!"

"Yes, why didn't I think of it before?"

"So……"

"Why not just completely destroy Konoha and let me build a brand new Konoha that belongs only to me from the ruins of Konoha!"

Frenzy, excitement, and excitement.

The more he spoke, the more abnormal Shimura Danzo's condition seemed, which made the Root ninjas even more frightened.

Logically speaking, seeing Danzo Shimura like this, his subordinates should think that their boss must be crazy, and then naturally have other ideas, or even stage a popular plot of the inferiors rebellion.

However, the Root Ninjas were brainwashed too thoroughly. Even though they felt that Danzo Shimura's mind was no longer normal and were very afraid of it, they still did not dare to rebel, let alone overthrow their superiors. Instead, they thought in fear about how to complete the orders given to them by Danzo Shimura.

A true loyal dog.

A group of true tools who don’t even have their own personality.

People in the real world couldn't help but shake their heads and frown, finding it difficult to understand the blind loyalty of the Root ninjas, and feeling a chill in their hearts.

However, for those ambitious people, heroes and some bigwigs, this situation made them see the light. They were very interested in Shimura Danzo's brainwashing methods and hoped to have such a group of tools under them.

It doesn't matter whether you are smart or not, what matters is being loyal and obedient.

……

Image on the light screen. At this moment, Danzo Shimura's strong emotions once again triggered the power of the Four Souls Jade fragments, causing the Four Souls Jade fragments to respond to Danzo Shimura once again.

From this perspective, Danzo Shimura can be regarded as the best host for the fragments of the Shikon Jewel. Simply by relying on desire, he can make the fragments of the Shikon Jewel continuously output power and continue to evolve. Even Shukaku, the One-Tailed Fox, is not as thorough as him.

Although the one-tailed Shukaku was about to change its species due to its intense anger and hatred, that was because it was a chakra-aggregating creature, and it was also directly possessed by a large number of monsters, thus acquiring the attributes of monsters.

On this basis, it undergoes transformation with the Four Soul Jade fragments and finally becomes an elemental creature.

There is no doubt that the Four Souls Jade is indeed magical. It is unconventional in making people stronger and allowing creatures to evolve, allowing the holder to always evolve in a unique way.

For example, now, under the transformation of the power of the Shikon Jewel fragments, a large amount of power has poured into the Mangekyō Sharingan on his right side, rapidly strengthening this eye.

When the mutation was over, Danzo Shimura's scarlet Mangekyō Sharingan was actually infected by the power of the Shikon Jewel and turned purple, and emitted an aura like burning flames.

Such enhancement made Danzo Shimura cover his right eye and show an uncomfortable expression.

Upon seeing this, the Root Ninja hurriedly asked with concern: "Master Danzo, are you not..."

Shimura Danzo hummed, interrupting the Root Ninja's speech. A smile appeared on his face again, and he released his right arm: "I see, I see, the Four Souls Jade, the power of the Four Souls Jade, has responded to me once again!"

"I gave the Four Souls Jade the intense desire it needed, and the Four Souls Jade responded to my thirst! This is the correct way to use the Four Souls Jade!"

The voice was trembling, and it was full of endless excitement.

"When the Mangekyō Sharingan awakens, it will respond to the emotions of its owner and awaken a unique eye technique. That eye technique also corresponds to everything the owner desires in their heart when the Mangekyō Sharingan awakens!"

"This is the emotion of the Uchiha clan, and it is also the embodiment of the evil Uchiha clan's desires!"

"However, I'm different. My Mangekyō Sharingan was awakened by the Four Souls Jade, so I don't have any unique eye techniques!"

"However, this doesn't matter, because the Four Soul Jade has responded to me once again!"

"Hahahaha~~~~This eye! This eye! It's the unique ability of the Mangekyō Sharingan! Yes, this is the ability I want! It's also the ability that suits me best!"
