Making an Example of Him Even After Death
After hearing Yun Yan's ideas on punishing Danzo, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Koharu Utatane Koharu, and Mitokado Homura all looked at Yun Yan with disbelief.
At this moment, the three old men looked at each other as if they weren't looking at a person, but rather as if they were looking at a demon in human skin!
Isn't that demonic? This kind of punishment, this kind of torturous torture, is simply inhuman! Yet Yun Yan managed to come up with it and even said it without batting an eye!
Hiruzen Sarutobi was simply shocked, shocked that Yun Yan was indeed no good. He hadn't misjudged the kid; he was indeed a villain.
As for the two old guys, Koharu Utatane and Mitokado Homura, they were filled with shock and extreme fear.
The two of them really didn't want to stay by the side of this devil in human skin, but they dared not make any rash moves, fearing that Yun Yan might do something to them.
Noticing the gazes of the three old men, Yun Yan looked left and right, then gave each of them a friendly smile:
"You don't need to be afraid or overthink it. This method of punishment is just something I'm thinking about; I don't intend to actually do it."
While this form of punishment may be satisfying, it is impractical and carries risks.
As long as a person is not dead, as long as a person is not killed, even if they are under layers of seals, they may still escape or break free from the seals.
There's a saying that good people don't live long, but evil people live for a thousand years. I wholeheartedly agree with this.
For a villain like Danzo who has many entanglements, slowly tormenting him is not a safe bet, because you never know when someone might come to his rescue, or he might try to escape.
Therefore, the best and most conservative approach is to simply and decisively kill them.
"Killing him would be the end of it all, clean and efficient."
As he spoke, Yun Yan once again flashed that extremely kind smile at the three old men beside him:
What do you three think?
What could those three old guys possibly think? They dared not and could not utter a single word in rebuttal.
Hiruzen Sarutobi is alright. Although the old man is already doomed, he still holds the loose title of Hokage, so he won't agree with Yun Yan at this time.
But the other two old guys had no scruples. In order to save their lives, and to make their fate a little better, and especially to please Yun Yan, the two old guys tried their best to force a smile and humbly echoed Yun Yan's words.
"Yun Yan, you're right. It's best to eliminate and kill scourges like Danzo as soon as possible."
"Yes, yes, yes, keeping him alive and slowly torturing him would certainly be satisfying, but that's not very safe, after all, there are still quite a few people in Root who Danzo."
Too lazy to bother with these two shameless old men, Yun Yan turned his head and continued talking to Hiruzen Sarutobi:
"Danzo must be killed. This is inevitable, unchangeable, and the will of the people."
But how to kill is another skill, and it needs to be carefully considered.
Sarutobi, what I mean is, choose a suitable time...
Oh, right, this timeframe shouldn't be too long, preferably within the next few days, the sooner the better, to avoid any unforeseen changes.
Choose a suitable time and place, and in front of the entire population of Konoha, after Danzo's crimes, publicly and justly execute him! After the execution Danzo, the body must be properly Danzo of!
Upon hearing Yun Yan's words, Hiruzen Sarutobi knew that Yun Yan already had a plan in mind. At this point, he had nothing more to say or do, and could only humbly seek his advice.
"Yun Yan, tell me the details. I'm already in this situation, so I'll leave it to you to decide how to deal with Danzo."
Since Hiruzen Sarutobi has said so, Yun Yan naturally wouldn't back down, and he said directly and without any politeness:
"Alright."
What I mean is, let's officially execute Danzo tomorrow. Let's not bother looking for an auspicious day; the sooner the better, just execute him directly.
The reason for not executing him today is to give the people of Konoha some time to calm down, so that they can finally feel satisfied tomorrow.
As for the location where Danzo was executed... while the area in front of the Hokage Building is not bad, I think the Konoha Ninja cemetery and Memorial Stone would be better.
Think about it, so many people have died in Konoha, many of them died unjustly, and many others were simply killed by Danzo.
I believe that Danzo should be executed in front of these heroic spirits, in front of all the people of Konoha, and especially in front of the Memorial Stone Danzo Dead, which is of great symbolic significance. Only then would it be truly gratifying.
Moreover, after Danzo's death, in order to vent the anger of the people of Konoha and to warn future generations, his corpse was to be used in a meaningful way.
What I mean is, burn Danzo's body to ashes and then carefully scatter his ashes under the stone slabs of the path leading to the Memorial Stone.
In this way, everyone who goes to the Memorial Stone to pay respects to the fallen heroes of Konoha will walk that path, and will step over Danzo's ashes, which is equivalent to stepping over Danzo's body.
I will make sure Danzo is punished even after death, that Danzo upon by thousands for all eternity. As long as Konoha exists, he will be trampled upon every day, never to rise again!
Upon hearing this, not only was Hiruzen Sarutobi dumbfounded, but the two old guys next to him Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura, were also extremely shocked.
Wow, that's a really harsh punishment!
It's not enough to kill Danzo; the real point is that we can exploit Danzo death, especially ensuring Danzo can never rise again! That's incredibly vicious!
To be fair, this way of dealing with it is indeed quite satisfying. I imagine the people of Konoha will feel very happy and relieved when they find out.
It's possible that after Danzo's ashes are buried under the stone slabs of that road, people will walk over them every day, Danzo forever.
Thinking of this, and of everything Danzo was about to suffer, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura looked at Yun Yan with even greater terror. They were no longer just looking at a demon in human skin, but at the demon himself!
Yun Yan completely ignored the looks in the eyes of the two old men. He had gotten to the point and continued:
"Of course, besides these, there's another important point..."
"Besides!?"
Even Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't remain calm now. The old man stared wide-eyed and asked incredulously.
Turning his head to glance at Hiruzen Sarutobi, Yun Yan continued in a matter-of-fact tone, adding as if it were perfectly natural:
"Of course there are more."
Another crucial point is that we must warn future generations against following in Danzo's Danzo. Danzo should be considered the greatest example in Konoha's history, deeply etched into the pillar of historical shame!
Mitokado Homura was standing next to him, couldn't help but ask again, almost instinctively:
"Isn't this enough to Danzo to the pillar of shame in Konoha's history? Then what would it take to Danzo to the pillar of shame in Konoha's history?"
Yun Yan answered almost without hesitation:
"In my opinion, there is another necessary measure: to record all the crimes committed by Danzo, this heinous criminal, compile them into a book, and publish it throughout the entire Shinobi World."
"How can this be allowed?"
Koharu Utatane of the three old guys, couldn't care less about appearances at this moment and instinctively retorted:
"How can such a shameful thing be publicized to the whole world? It can't be made public in our home!"
Yun Yan gave her a cold stare, and that one glance immediately sent a chill and fear through Utatane Koharu bones. The old man immediately fell silent, meekly agreeing with her.
Staring at her with an unfriendly expression, Yun Yan's eyes were icy cold:
"Don't wash your dirty linen in public? This saying sounds reasonable at first glance, but often it is precisely because of this saying, because of this concern, and because of this cover-up that some people's behavior becomes increasingly egregious."
And aren't you mistaken about something?
Even if it's not compiled into a book and published to spread throughout the Shinobi World, through today's public trial, the entire Shinobi World will probably soon know what Danzo did; these things cannot be hidden.
Or do you, old man, have a problem with this move of mine?
If you have any objections, I can consider adding your crimes to this book, publicizing them throughout the Shinobi World, so that the entire Shinobi World knows your true colors now, how about that?"
Utatane Koharu. She shook her head vigorously, refusing repeatedly.
"No, no, Danzo only Danzo's crimes is enough. There's no need to add mine! No, no! Really, no!"
