Chapter 447 Please Die

"you are tired."

After a moment of astonishment, Yamanaka Ino slowly walked to the center of the room.

Yingying squatted down and picked up the pencil that had suffered an unexpected disaster.

She slowly came behind Sasuke and gently pressed her boneless fingers on his temple.

The slightly cool touch instantly drove away the irritability in Sasuke's heart.

Uchiha Sasuke closed his eyes, reached out and gently held Ino's right hand, and his mind rarely became empty.

After a moment of relaxation, Sasuke's emotions calmed down a little.

He looked up and closed his eyes, still feeling dissatisfied with Kakuzu, and muttered:
“A year of great disaster is a time when we incur deficits.

"If you don't take action at this time, what use will the people have for your ruling department?"

"Indeed."

Yamanaka Ino's breath was as sweet as orchid. She rubbed Sasuke's forehead attentively and spoke softly in his ear.

Hearing that gentle tone, Sasuke felt a little soft in his heart.

He exerted force with his hands, grabbed the soft little hand, and pulled it. Ino then leaned down behind him and hugged Sasuke to her chest.

Turning their heads back, the two of them looked at each other.

The smell of lust gradually rose in the air.

breathe.

Uchiha Sasuke closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

He let go of Ino's hand and sat up again.

While reorganizing the documents in front of him, he asked:

"So, are there any new developments in the Land of Earth?"
-
Earth Country, Iwagakure Ninja Village.

In the Iwagakure Building, the Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki of the Two Heavenly Scales, sat dejectedly in his office, staring at the TV in a daze.

Regarding this invasion of the Wind Kingdom, even if it failed, he had imagined countless outcomes.

But everything that happened before his eyes far exceeded all his previous expectations.

A big gamble.

The ninja coalition that the Iwagakure Ninja Village had accumulated for many years, a total of 10,000 people, set foot on the territory of the Wind Kingdom, but it was like a drop in the ocean, and all the money they invested was lost.

His son Huangtu, granddaughter Heitu, and direct disciple Chitu all died in this disaster.

At the beginning, facing the tide of red demons, Ōnoki still had a strong will to fight.

Just think of it as a despicable sorcery from Konoha.

However, ever since he discovered the indiscriminate attacks of the red demons, Ōnoki fell into a deep state of emptiness and pain.

Faced with this huge failure, he couldn't even find who the enemy was to blame?
Today, a piece of video footage that was widely circulated in the ninja world finally found the answer for him.

"Red Ghost."

A very deep voice slowly came from the TV.

Following this, there are flashbacks of horrifying real-life tragic scenes, the dense tide of red demons, the sick and wounded camp of Konoha ninjas, and the tattered clothes of the Wind Kingdom refugees.

"It is the ninja world's punishment for arrogant humans."

That day, in front of the Daimyo's mansion in Frost Country, Kitano Takeshi witnessed with his own eyes the slaughter of hundreds of Kumogakure ninjas by Hoshigaki Kisame, and he was greatly shocked.

After that, he often asked himself, if he had taken better video footage, wouldn't so many stupid ninjas have died in vain?
Compared with the previous frivolous ones, the image style this time has undergone a drastic change in temperament.

In this short film, Takeshi Kitano showed a very strong personal style.

He expressed his sorrow for death and his strong aversion to war in a very intense way.

Regarding the problem that Ohnoki couldn't figure out, Takeshi Kitano gave a very decisive answer in this film.

"war!
"It was the bloody haze of war that brought about this unprecedented disaster!
"The initiator of the war, the source of the Red Demons, the provider of nearly 10,000 ninja Red Demons, the ambitious Oonoki.

"You must bear all the blame for this."

Accompanied by the judgment-like voice of the Lord God.

On the screen, countless pairs of ninja and civilian eyes flashed at an extremely fast speed.

Sad, painful, desperate, dim eyes.

At the end of the scene, the scene freezes on the eyes of a red ghost.

There is nothing in it but endless disappointment in human nature.

Unlike the flat land of the Kingdom of Wind, the roads in the Kingdom of Earth are mostly rugged and difficult to travel.

The Iwagakure Ninja Village, in particular, is surrounded by rocky mountains and has an extremely solid defensive location.

Therefore, in the early stages of the crisis, Ohnoki had relatively ample time to make decisions.

After they decisively chose to defend the city and clear the fields, people's livelihood in the Land of Earth could still be maintained for a short period of time.

However, as time went on, when the tireless red demons truly roamed into the Land of Earth, the disadvantages of insufficient numbers of ninjas soon became apparent.

At present, most areas within the Land of Earth have been occupied and infected by the Red Demons.

Only the small Iwagakure Ninja Village headquarters is still barely holding on with the help of the few remaining ninjas.

In addition, the rescue work of the Fire Nation also had a great impact on the rule of the Earth Nation to some extent.

The legend of the "Uchiha Ark" (the armored rescue vehicle) spread quickly among the people of the Land of Earth.

Faced with the choice of going east or west, the vast majority of the civilians of the Land of Earth, out of disappointment with Ōnoki himself, actually made a very risky choice:

Rush to the territory of the Wind Kingdom where red demons are everywhere, seeking a chance to be saved by the Fire Kingdom.

In the face of the threat of death being eaten away, the glory of the nation and the attachment to the homeland seem so fragile.

Of course, the Fire Nation’s publicity efforts with the help of new media have also had a significant social impact in this process.

"Boom boom boom——"

Suddenly, there was a steady knock on the door.

Oonoki didn't say anything. After a moment, the person outside the door pushed the door open and walked in.

"Lord Tsuchikage."

The man was covered in blood and dust.

It was Wen Ya, one of the few remaining elite jonin in the Iwagakure Ninja Village.

"Is there a problem?"

Ohnoki sat on the chair, his whole temperament was listless, and he even refused to raise his head.

"I am here to ask you to surrender."

Wen Ya said coldly without changing his expression.

"!"

Ohnoki was startled. He looked up at one of his most trusted subordinates, his face full of disbelief and shock.

“I’m not a coward.

"As ninjas, it is our honor and duty to die on the battlefield.

"But the tens of thousands of civilians in the Iwagakure Shinobi Village should not die here in vain."

Wen Ya said coldly:

"Right now, the red demons are rampant, and it is only a matter of time before the Iwagakure Ninja Village is breached by those monsters.

"By then, we may be able to protect ourselves, but the fate facing many civilians in the village is only death."

After a pause, Wen Ya took a deep breath and said again:
"Surrender, Lord Tsuchikage.

"Now, only the Fire Nation can give our people a way out."

After an unknown amount of silence, Ōnoki stared at his subordinates silently, and finally asked:
"Have you completely forgotten the will of stone that never gives up?"

Facing Ōnoki's questioning, Wen Ya did not back down.

He just shook his head and answered firmly:

"In contrast, we are more willing to accept Lord Sasuke's 'people-oriented' approach."

"us?"

Ohnoki's heart sank, and he heard Wen Ya say coldly:

"good.

"Please surrender. This is the opinion of the entire Jonin group."

As he was speaking, someone walked quickly towards the door.

A young woman in business attire respectfully handed a letter to Onoki and said:

"A message from the Lord Daimyo of the Land of Earth."

As the Red Demon crisis spread, the daimyo of the Land of Earth also left the capital and hid in the Iwagakure Ninja Village under the protection of the Iwagakure Ninja.

And this woman is the close retainer of the Daimyo of the Land of Earth.

Oonoki looked down and saw that the content of the letter was nothing more than urging him to resolve the crisis as soon as possible.

He also sternly warned that if they sought help from other countries, they must not contact Orochimaru.

At the end of the letter, it was clearly written that the daimyo had already contacted the daimyo of the Frost Country.

It is hoped that Ōnoki will use his flying ability to personally escort the noble families of the Land of Earth away from this chaotic country.

So, nobles, are you going to give up too?

Did you really do something wrong?
Ohnoki leaned back on the chair, tortured by the external pressure of reality and the inner torture of conscience.

That thin body seemed to be carrying an invisible boulder, pressing down on him and making it hard for him to breathe.

"I see.

"Please go back first."

After an unknown amount of time, Ōnoki finally stood up again.

Years of back problems caused a dull pain in his back, but at this moment, he no longer cared.

He first sent away the daimyo's close retainers, then turned to the jonin Bunga and said:
"If so, my life alone can be used to ensure the safety of all ninjas and civilians in the country.

"Then I'll do it."

Wen Ya was stunned for a moment, but then he quickly understood what the Tsuchikage meant.

Originally, he had already made plans to die today.

At this moment, after hearing Ohnoki's answer, I was filled with disbelief.

He immediately knelt down, tears welling up in his eyes.

He wanted to say something, but no words came out.
-
In later generations, scholars have different opinions on the historical evaluation of Ōnoki, especially when talking about his death, they are always unable to reach a unified opinion.

Some people believe that his surrender brought about the peaceful liberation of the Land of Earth.

It saved all parties in the ninja world from continuing to suffer from that war.

Moreover, at a certain time, Ōnoki used his own life to protect the safety of hundreds of thousands of people.

In this regard, the people should not forget his sacrifices and contributions.

But on the other hand, some people believe that if we restore the historical scene at that time, Oonoki would have no better choice.

Moreover, the Land Kingdom at that time still had the strength to fight, and surrendering directly would be tantamount to being a traitor to one's own nation.

On the other hand, even from a humanistic perspective, Ohnoki is just a historical sinner who stepped on the brakes at the last moment.

Appropriate affirmation can be given, but over-high historical evaluation is inappropriate.

In short, Ōnoki of the "Two Libras" is the last traditional Kage in the Five Kage era.

His death is recognized by the academic community as a landmark event that marked the official end of the "Five Shadow Era".

From then on, the ninja world officially entered a new era of three-way competition.

They are the infected areas occupied by the red demons;

The humanistic New Fire Republic Alliance led by Uchiha Sasuke;
Also, under the rule of Orochimaru, "Kisawa" advocates individual struggle and condones the law of the jungle where the strong prey on the weak.

Now, let us go back to the afternoon when Ōnoki was publicly executed.

The execution site was chosen to be the Imperial Palace Square in Kyoto.

People were extremely excited and came from all directions, determined to witness with their own eyes the death of this old man who had brought endless disasters to the ninja world.

Yes, with Uchiha Sasuke's tacit approval, people put all the blame on Ōnoki.

In fact, even Ōnoki himself thinks so.

He himself, who brazenly launched the war of invasion, was the culprit behind this terrifying red demon tide.

Although sufficient plans had been made, the excitement at the execution scene still far exceeded the expectations of the ANBU captain in charge of security, the Wood Release ninja Tenzo.

Needless to say, the refugees from the Wind Country, almost everyone present had relatives or friends who died in the Red Demon Tide;

The anger of the people of the Fire Nation is even more naked. The influx of refugees and the fall of the Wind Nation have greatly affected their daily lives.

Originally, the economy and culture were thriving, but this war and the "Red Devil Plague" it brought were interrupted, and all of this was because of that damn skinny old man in the center of the square;

Among the crowd, the number of refugees from the Land of Earth was the smallest, but their reaction was the most intense.

It is self-evident that life is difficult, but beneath the angry shouting and extreme behavior, it is hard to say whether there is a kind of performance.

Compared with the people of the other two countries, the refugees from the Land of Earth all have a more or less intractable fear in their hearts.

It was precisely because he saw the undercurrent of national integration that Uchiha Sasuke made up his mind that Ōnoki had to die.

His death provided the entire repressed society with an excellent emotional outlet.

It also gave the refugee group in the Land of Earth an opportunity to express their loyalty and integrate into the new country.

In the center of the square, at the base of the giant statue of Uchiha Sasuke, the gate opened.

From there, Oonoki was escorted and slowly walked into the public's sight.

The appearance of this person was like sparks splashing into an oil barrel, instantly causing a violent reaction among the people.

Some were so emotional that they even wanted to go over the ninja's blockade and beat the poor guy themselves.

As a last resort, Tenzang once again used the Wood Release Ninjutsu, but it still failed to ease the excitement in the hearts of the people.

"Quiet."

Suddenly, a cold voice echoed loudly above the square.

The sound was not loud, but it had a captivating power that made everyone feel awe, and the commotion quieted down.

On the top of the stairs, Uchiha Sasuke, wearing the robe of the Hokage and holding a sword, calmly scanned the dark crowd.

The crowd looked back at their leader eagerly, and everyone stopped talking, quietly waiting for the ceremony to take place.

The great affairs of the country lie in sacrifice and military affairs.

Since Ohnoki started it, the "Execution Ceremony" has become an annual ritual in the Land of Fire.

The supreme ruler Uchiha Sasuke walked down the stairs and came to the side of the war criminal.

The sharp sword flashed and chopped off Ōnoki's head very neatly.

Blood spattered on the flagstone floor, as red as fine grape wine, bright red in summer.
