Chapter 448: Crossroads

Killing was not a pleasant thing - at least, not for Sasuke.

What's more, the other party is such a pathetic old man who has completely given up resistance.

But for some people, dying is more useful than living.

It is more useful to die in glory than in obscurity.

On the live TV screen, Uchiha Sasuke's face turned pale. He silently put away his sword, turned around and left the Imperial Palace Square.

The land of grass.

On the east side of the Great Wall, at the border area that has not yet been infected, it is one of the many member states of the New Fire Alliance.

Township pub.

This place is located on a major transportation route, with countless travelers passing by every day, and it is a mixed crowd of all kinds.

In the tavern, ninjas and refugees from various places gathered together, watching this "execution ceremony" intently.

"I do not understand.

"Why did Sasuke have to do it himself?

"Based on my understanding of his character, he wouldn't be keen on this kind of thing."

In the tavern, watching the ugly expression on Sasuke's face on TV.

Hozuki Kizuki, who was staying here, couldn't help but say to Karin beside her.

"You don't understand that, young man."

A middle-aged man who looked like a businessman said:
“In our New Fire Alliance, we are very cautious about sentencing to death.

“Sasuke-sama believes that if you cannot kill the person by looking into his eyes, then the person’s crime may not be that serious.

“Death is a serious matter.

“As a citizen of the Alliance, I am happy to see that our leaders have such awareness.”

The businessman said proudly.

After a pause, he blinked his eyes and said under the influence of alcohol:

“Also, you just called Sasuke-sama by his first name, which was extremely rude.

"I don't like it very much."

"Ok."

Hozuki Suigetsu was no longer surprised by the public's protection of Uchiha Sasuke.

He just shrugged and smiled at Xianglin beside him without arguing with her.

"Humph!

"It's just a hypocritical show."

However, at the other end of the table, a young man with gray hair and brown eyes, his right hand wrapped in a bandage, snorted with disdain.

"You kid."

The businessman was about to get angry, but when he saw the ninja bag on the young man's waist and realized that he was a ninja, he immediately sobered up a little.

He just turned his head away and ignored it.

However, Gui Deng Shui Yue was in high spirits. He grinned and asked:
“In the New Fire League, everyone worships Sasuke as a god.

"It's rare to find a guy like you."

"There's no law that says people have to like him, right?"

The boy glanced at the image of Sasuke on TV and snorted coldly.

"That's true. Actually, I don't like him very much either."

Ignoring the warning glances from Karin, Hozuki smiled and approached with a glass of wine, asking:

"My name is Shuiyue, what's yours?"

"My name is Sora."

The ninja named "Sora" looked at Suigetsu in surprise.

Along the way, because of his attitude towards Sasuke, he had several conflicts with too many civilians and ninjas.

This is the first time I have met someone like Shuiyue who agrees with my point of view.

"If it weren't for Master Sasuke, you two would have already become part of the Red Demon now."

At the side, the businessman couldn't help but mutter.

"That's the fate reserved for ordinary people like you."

Kong responded coldly:
"Come to think of it, that Uchiha kid was just lucky."

Ever since Sasuke scolded him for "being shameless" in the Fire Temple, Kong's feelings towards Sasuke have become more and more twisted.

It was obviously he who provoked me first, but in the end he couldn't hide his cold heart. If he's not a hypocritical guy, then what else could he be?

At this time, I only heard Kong Kankan say:

“If I were given the same bloodline and the same teacher.

"My achievements may not be inferior to this person's!"

"Pfft."

On the side, even Gui Deng Shui Yue couldn't help but laugh out loud.

“You have no idea what he’s been through.”

Facing the young man's words, Xianglin couldn't help but curl her lips.

"Eh~"

Here, Shuiyue quickly stopped Xianglin, turned around and pretended to be serious, and said seriously:
"Then, shouldn't a young talent like you go to the Kuzi Country and join Orochimaru's army?"

"Suigetsu!"

On the side, Xianglin's face changed, and she couldn't help but feel that Shuiyue's intentions were too sinister.

Just as he was about to stop him, he saw the ninja named "Kong" was overjoyed and said excitedly:

"How do you know?

"I am planning to go to the Land of Hot Springs from here to contact Lord Orochimaru.

"Could it be that you have the same idea?"

Just as Kong was about to invite him to go together, Shuiyue was startled and immediately waved her hands:

“No, no, no, no.

"Brother, I don't have any big ambitions. I just want to live a peaceful and free life for a few years.

"With such a beautiful woman by my side, why would I want to risk my life?"

As Shuiyue spoke, she reached out her hand mischievously to touch Xianglin's arm.

The latter's face flushed, and he punched him hard on the head, splashing water.

"it is good
"Bar"

Kong stared at the scene in amazement, feeling that the strength of the man and woman in front of him was truly unfathomable.

"Anyway,"

Here, Kong finished the last sip of beer in his glass, straightened his clothes, stood up, and said loudly:

"The transformation of the ninja world has just begun.

"Such a hypocritical guy, I don't think he is the right answer."

He stood up and walked towards the door. When he reached the door, he turned back and said:
"If we meet on the battlefield in the future, I will show no mercy."

"Give my regards to Orochimaru~"

Here, Shuiyue raised her glass with a smile and said from afar:

"If you could see him alive."

Hearing this, a high-spirited smile appeared on Kong's face, then he turned around and headed east without looking back.

"."

"There really are people like this who are eager to die."

After Kong left, Xianglin lowered her head and drank the beer in front of her, feeling very depressed.

"After all, they have never seen Orochimaru, so it is inevitable that they have some romantic fantasies in their hearts."

Hozuki Suigetsu looked up at the TV program while chatting casually.

"The New Fire Alliance is a free nation."

On the side, the businessman boasted proudly again:
“She allowed anyone to come and anyone to leave.

"But~
“Go east, go north, go south.

“But no one would ever go west.”

"Ah? Haha, yes."

Listening to the merchant uncle's song-like tone, Gui Deng Shui Yue wondered what was in the west, and suddenly burst into laughter. When people talk about disasters, they always come up with a lot of inappropriate humor.

"Only a fool would go west."

In the tavern, someone shouted loudly, and everyone started laughing.

"That may not be the case. That may not be the case."

However, an old man with long eyebrows who had remained silent until then, was seen staggering to the side of the bar.

I heard him muttering as he pushed the money in his hand toward the bartender again and whispered:

"Give me another glass of camel wine, thank you."

"You can't drink any more?"

The bartender looked at the man with a little concern. He saw that his hair and beard were all white, and his long eyebrows drooped all the way to the sides of his cheeks. He didn't look like an alcoholic at all.

“Well, please let me buy this young lady a drink.

"Another camel wine."

The old man pointed at Xianglin beside him and nodded slightly drunkenly.

"Hey!

"If you want to pick up girls, you are too old, aren't you?"

Shuiyue looked at the old man very warily and spoke loudly with great dissatisfaction.

"If I'm not mistaken, three years ago, you also participated in the defense war of the Sand Village with Sasuke-sama, right?"

Faced with Suigetsu's hostility, the old man did not respond, but continued to speak to Karin.

As soon as these words were spoken, the relaxed atmosphere in the room was instantly swept away. Everyone looked at the woman again, and a solemn respect rose in their hearts.

“In fact, I participated as well.”

After noticing the change in the atmosphere in the tavern, Gui Deng Shui Yue curled his lips and muttered:
"It's just that I didn't let you see it."

"Are you from the Sand Village?"

In response to the old man's question, Xianglin did not answer, but asked politely in return.

"It's you, no doubt about it."

At this time, the camel wine in the tavern had been prepared. The old man stared at Xianglin carefully for a while, pushed the wine glass in front of him, and said lightly:

“Although the camel wine here is not as good as that in the Sand Village, it is somewhat similar.

"You left in such a hurry that day that I was not able to treat you to a drink. It was really rude of me."

"you are."

Xianglin took the wine glass and asked hesitantly.

"Ebizo."

The old man picked up the wine glass in front of him that he had refilled and drank it all in one gulp.

The old face was glowing with an incredible glow because of the alcohol.

"I say, I will pay for the drinks for everyone present today."

Ebizo stood up shakily, took out a lot of money from his pocket and stuffed it into Karin's hand.

Then he glanced at everyone and said loudly:
“The red ghost is actually not as scary as you think.

"People will eventually die. Becoming a red ghost is also a form of eternal life."

"Uncle, you've had too much to drink."

Seeing his appearance, some kind-hearted people couldn't help but step forward and want to help him.

However, Ebizo pushed the person away, pointed to the west, and said loudly:

"What do you foreign guys know?!

“The infected area you mentioned is where I grew up.

"My family, my comrades, and everything I have are there."

He staggered out of the door, and when he reached the door, he also stopped and turned back and said:

“There is one thing that the kid just said that I have to agree with.

“The answer from the ninja world may not only be Uchiha Sasuke’s.

"Connecting everyone together through the red devil is a kind of eternal peace."

After he finished speaking, his eyes were clear and he didn't look drunk at all.

He took a deep breath and walked towards the west without looking back.

"Hey!"

The bartender strode out, turned his head to look at the bar of his own pub, then hesitated and stopped.

His face was filled with worry, and he shouted to the customers in the room:

"Who of you go take a look?

"This old guy might really be going to die."

"."

Just as people were hesitating, a response came from inside the house.

"forget it."

In a far corner, a refugee from the Wind Country said coldly:
"The famous Ebizo doesn't need the attention of a nobody like you."

"."

For a moment, everyone in the room looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

After a while, Gui Deng Shui Yue laughed at himself and interrupted the awkward silence jokingly:
"If he were to become a red ghost, he really wouldn't need to be like the first guy.

"Put some harsh words like 'If we meet on the battlefield, I will show no mercy.'"

With Ebizo's departure, the smell of death seemed to still linger in the air of the tavern.

Everyone was thinking about Shuiyue's words.

The crowd burst into laughter again.
-
With Ōnoki's execution, the ninja world once again ushered in a brief period of peace.

Rescue and disaster prevention became the main theme of the New Fire Alliance under Uchiha Sasuke's leadership.

Regarding the handling of the Land of Earth, it is taken into consideration that except for the Iwagakure Village, large areas of the country have been infiltrated and infected by the Red Demon.

After discussion, the alliance decided to leave the people behind, that is, to abandon the territory of the Earth Kingdom and evacuate all refugees to various lands of the New Fire Alliance.

Regarding how to deal with the Red Demon Tide, Uchiha Sasuke considered several solutions in his mind.

But all of them require indiscriminate destruction.

It will be difficult to introduce a radical solution by taking drastic measures until it is ensured that all refugees have been successfully found and rescued.

To everyone's surprise, Orochimaru did not behave abnormally during this period.

Such a calm state actually made Sasuke feel a little uneasy.

But no matter what, the ninja world has once again returned to its normal balance.

Under the heroic protection of the Great Wall guards and the stationed ninjas, the territory of the New Fire Alliance remained peaceful.

For ordinary people who already live on this land, the existence of the red ghost seems a little distant.

Only occasionally do we see in the media recognition of heroic deaths and the continued influx of refugees at the border.

Just now, they were subtly reminded that the world was undergoing irreversible and permanent changes.

[Congratulations, you have successfully refined the god-level spiritual treasure: Samsara Eye]

July 6th, the sixty-seventh year of Konoha.

The refining of the Samsara Eye is complete.

[Achievements: Ninjutsu Mastery +100, Genjutsu Mastery +100, Chakra Control Ability and Accuracy +100]

[Achievements: Super Shinra Tensei]

On July 9th, Ōnoki used his flying ability to cross the entire continent, landed in the Hidden Leaf Village, and begged for surrender.

On that day, there was a heated debate in the Konoha Cabinet about how to deal with Ōnoki.

In the end, it was the cunning monkey who convinced everyone.

Oonoki's death will greatly reduce the difficulty of integration between the Land of Earth and the Wind and Fire Alliance.

On July 11, Konoha issued and announced the significance and specific ceremonial details of the death penalty ceremony.

On July 12, Ōnoki died in Queen's Square, his hometown of Kyoto.

The significance of this incident is far-reaching, and people from all walks of life across the country have repeatedly discussed this incident.

Anti-war sentiment among the people reached its peak, and a phrase emerged: "The Death of Ōnoki."

Used to refer to the cruelty and painful lessons of war.

Since then, whenever people make radical remarks about organized groups and relations between countries, someone will always shout:
"Have you forgotten about 'Oonoki's death'?"
