Chapter 460

Danzo then contacted the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.

They took direct action against the TV station, cutting off the sound, blocking the text at the bottom, and blurring the picture.

Therefore, what Naruto Uzumaki and the others saw was a silent trial.

Danzo's move was clearly intended to mislead the people of the Land of Fire and Konoha.

The public trial was misrepresented as a public murder.

However... just as an ostrich burying its head in the sand won't change the facts.

When... the entire ninja world, except for Konoha, knew about Jiraiya and Konoha's crimes.

What's the point of this self-deception?

Your Land of Fire was able to build a wall against the Land of Rain, do you expect the whole world to build a wall against the Land of Rain?

At this time.

The Land of Earth, the Land of Wind, the Land of Water, the Land of Lightning... the four great nations and countless smaller nations were all watching this scene intently.

The four Kazekage — Gaara, Tsuchikage, Mizukage, Mei Terumi Raikage A —as well as all the leaders of the ninja villages, were naturally paying close attention Ōnoki this matter.

Konoha's attempt to block out sound will ultimately only become an international joke.

Of course, for Naruto Uzumaki...

As long as I think, I feel, I can be furious.

After all, regardless of whether there is sound or visuals, Naruto Uzumaki always imposes and forces others according to his own ideas.

He's always been like this.

So when Naruto Uzumaki saw Jiraiya tied to a frame and missing an arm, he was filled with grief and indignation, and the Nine-Tails Chakra was about to burst forth.

"Naruto, calm down!" Kakashi shouted.

After much persuasion, Naruto Uzumaki managed to temporarily suppress his anger.

On television, the live broadcast was still ongoing.

The Akito described the relationship between invaders and the invaded, the relationship between family and country, the relationship between people and leaders, and many other popular science-related topics.

This public trial was not only to determine Jiraiya's crimes, but also to serve as a powerful opportunity to educate the public and inform the ninja world.

Next.

The Akito brought a public prosecution against Jiraiya.

The camera quickly zoomed in until it encompassed Jiraiya's head and chest in the entire frame.

It was only then that viewers from various countries noticed that Jiraiya was wearing a sign around his neck.

It reads "Class A War Criminal - Jiraiya".

"Jiraiya, a native of Konoha in the Land of Fire, is currently 55 years old..."

The Akito began reading out the defendant's name.

When Naruto Uzumaki saw this, he couldn't help but get angry again.

Because it's obvious that this sign is a blatant insult.

Of course, given Naruto Uzumaki's education and knowledge, he probably really didn't know what "Class A war criminal" meant.

I just felt that my master had been insulted.

There was never a moment when Naruto Uzumaki wanted to defeat a certain person, and that person was Amakawa Akito.

"Jiraiya has completed 684 B-Rank Mission, 614 A-rank missions, and 138 S-rank missions... making him the most decorated fighter in Konoha and the strongest top-tier enforcer."

"These missions are all built on human lives, on mountains of corpses and seas of blood. And a large part of them were achieved through the invasion of other countries..."

The Akito recounted Jiraiya's various crimes.

This includes invading the Land of Rain and other countries.

And a notary was brought in.

Hanzō and others personally explained the situation and announced the facts.

Most seriously, of course, is that Jiraiya had assassinated political figures from other countries on multiple occasions.

Among them were Amegakure, the first Hanzo of the Salamander, and Emperor Amegakure Amakawa Akito.

This level of crime not only violates the laws of Amegakure, but also tramples on international law.

"Now... we will sentence Jiraiya according to the law!"

With the Akito's announcement, the final act was drawing to a close.

"The defendant... Class A war criminal... Jiraiya, death penalty!! Execute immediately!!!"

This is unprecedented.

In the ninja world, no one has ever publicly tried a ninja.

Furthermore, they have never tried a ninja of the Sannin level!

There wasn't even a single public sentencing of the invaders.

The reasoning is very simple.

None of the Five Great Nations have clean hands.

Naturally, they wouldn't do something that would backfire.

These kinds of things are handled in secret and are never announced publicly.

But today, Amakawa Akito has distinguished it from a position of "justice".

The significance of this public trial goes far beyond simply killing Jiraiya.

This means that the "Land of Rain Pan-Alliance" will now have sufficient standing to represent "justice" in this world.

This infuriated the Five Great Nations, and it became clear that their future actions would be morally disadvantageous.

Let's take a step towards a world governed by the rule of law and justice, moving away from the old, conventional notion of "survival of the fittest and natural selection."

It's obvious.

This action by the Akito harmed the interests of the Five Great Nations.

This is tantamount to openly declaring war on the Five Great Nations.

If they can publicly try Jiraiya today, will they be able to publicly try other strong ninja from different villages tomorrow?

Which of the Five Great Nations powers doesn't have a few wronged souls on its hands?

In the past, ordinary people could simply die and be done with it, but now they're the ones being chased for debts?!

However, regardless of what the Five Great Nations think.

The decisions of Akito will not change.

Buzz.

With the hum of the blade.

A blade gleaming with a cold light was held in the hand of the Akito.

Then, he slowly walked towards Jiraiya.

This process was both long and short.

Naruto Uzumaki stared at this scene and couldn't help but yell loudly.

Because that was his master...

However, at this moment, he was thousands of miles away from Amegakure, and what could he do but rage in a fit of impotence?

As the Akito raised their blades.

Naruto Uzumaki realized what was about to happen. "Stop... stop it!!!"

Laugh!

As the blade fell, Jiraiya's head rolled to the ground.

Blood gushed from the severed neck like a fountain.

This scene caused all the onlookers to gasp in astonishment.

Jiraiya, one of the Sannin, met his end by having his head chopped off and being publicly tried.

"Uh... uh... uh..."

Naruto Uzumaki's eyes widened, and he froze.

His heart clenched immediately.

Staring blankly at the bloody scene on the television, completely at a loss for how to react.

But this is not the end.

Jiraiya's death was merely an act of making an example of him.

The real significance lies in announcing the next steps.

"One month from now, that is, as next year approaches..."

Akito holds a knife blade and faces the camera.

"Amegakure will seek revenge against Konoha for its refusal to confess Konoha crimes and will destroy this evil regime!!"

Akito's words immediately ignited public opinion throughout the entire ninja world...

-

PS:

Sorry, I've been feeling dizzy and lightheaded these past two days, even just standing up makes me feel lightheaded. I guess I'm just too tired, so I went to bed early yesterday... Updates will still be as usual, and with yesterday's update, there will be a total of 11 updates today.

381. Naruto and Sasuke in action, Sage Mode and Eight-Tails.

The news of Jiraiya's public trial and beheading spread like wildfire.

Soon...

The entire ninja world began to talk about this.

In any case, everyone knows it.

A month from now, Amegakure will take action against Konoha.

At that time, the ninja world will undergo a transformation.

In other words... the so-called "Fourth Great Ninja War" is about to break out...

The border between the Land of Frost and the Land of Lightning.

"Sasuke!"

Seeing Sasuke get up, Karin immediately stood up as well.

Jūgo and Suigetsu followed behind.

"Where are we going?" Karin asked.

She really didn't expect to see that kind of scene.

That Amegakure Emperor... he really dared to do such a thing, beheading all Sannin.

"Let's go to the Thunder Valley in the Land of Lightning to capture the Eight-Tails."

Sasuke said calmly.

I'll use it to hone my newly awakened Mangekyō Sharingan!

Once I've adapted to this power, I'll seek revenge against the Konoha High Command.

Finally, kill "Bandit" and Amakawa Akito!
