The People's Will Can Be Harnessed, Gentlemen

Danzo died. He died Memorial Stone Konoha, on the execution platform, in full view of everyone, amidst the cheers of the people of Konoha.

He deserved to die, he truly deserved to die. Rather, it was unreasonable for such a person to even live; he deserved the most tragic end.

Overall, Danzo's death was what everyone expected.

Once something is widely expected, it must be done, regardless of whether it is right or wrong.

After killing Danzo, Kakashi picked up his sword, sheathed his father's sword, and finally, holding the sword, Kakashi turned and stood before Yun Yan.

Yun Yan looked at his mischievous friend, who was unusually quiet at the moment. He smiled and said in a teasing tone:

"You've finally gotten your revenge? All those years of resentment have finally been resolved?"

Looking at his mischievous friend Yun Yan, Kakashi suddenly sighed deeply. He nodded seriously, his gaze extremely solemn and earnest.

"Yes, Yun Yan, you're right. I've avenged myself, and the knot in my heart that I've carried for so many years has finally been completely untied."

Thank you, thank you for giving me this opportunity to take revenge myself and to resolve my old grievances.

Yun Yan waved his hand to indicate that he didn't care much.

"It's nothing, nothing serious. It's just that I asked you to Danzo yourself; it's a simple matter."

After saying this, Yun Yan stopped looking at Kakashi and instead gave the group of Anbu Ninja a look.

Upon receiving the signal, these Anbu Ninja immediately sprang into action; they had other things to do.

What else is it?

Don't forget, Danzo's punishment wasn't just death; there were many things to be done after Danzo death.

And so, under everyone's watchful eyes, several Anbu Ninja immediately sprang into action.

Anbu Ninja first dragged Danzo's body, then pulled his Danzo corpse down below the execution platform.

An Anbu Ninja brought over some rags, and they began wiping the blood off the execution platform with remarkable speed and efficiency.

Another Anbu Ninja was also very efficient; he grabbed Danzo by the hair and lifted Danzo's head up.

These Anbu Ninja worked together to drag Danzo's entire body and bloodstains off the execution platform and place them in an open space in the center of the crowd.

This open space was specially cleared out by so many Anbu Ninja to maintain order and direct the crowd.

Why open up such a large open space? Many people looked at each other, wondering what the Anbu Ninja were up to.

But some clever people had already guessed it, and they were very much looking forward to it, watching the Anbu Ninja's movements intently.

Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, the Anbu Ninja continued their operation, dragging all of Danzo's corpses to the center of the cleared area.

Not only that, the rags used to wipe the blood were also thrown on Danzo's corpse, and the blood-soaked body and garbage were piled together in the middle of the open space.

Then... several more Anbu Ninja stepped forward. These Anbu Ninja had been in that open space, and they surrounded Danzo's body from several directions.

The Anbu Ninja exchanged glances to make sure everyone was ready, and then they all started simultaneously, unleashing their Fire Style on Danzo's corpse, breathing fire.

The many Konoha citizens around also gathered at a distance, watching this scene from afar. Seeing the fire-breathing, they already had some guesses.

This is clearly burning Danzo's body! They're disposing of Danzo right in front of him! How could these Konoha citizens not be happy?

Because the Fire Style ninja techniques used to release extremely high temperatures, and because several Anbu Ninja used Fire Style together, Danzo's corpse was completely burned to ashes after they unleashed their fire.

Seeing that the time was almost up and the timing was right, the Anbu Ninja exchanged a knowing glance and simultaneously stopped their Fire Style.

The moment the Fire Style stopped, the extremely high temperature of the flames gradually dissipated, and Danzo's corpse was revealed to everyone.

At this point, Danzo's body, scorched by the high-temperature flames, had turned into a pile of charcoal; his corpse had been completely burned to ashes.

Seeing this scene, seeing how tragically Danzo's body had ended, the surrounding Konoha citizens cheered once again.

Immediately afterwards, several more Anbu Ninja from the surrounding area, each carrying a broom and a dustpan.

Armed with their cleaning tools, undeterred by the temperature or the heat, they approached Danzo's charred corpse and began sweeping away Danzo ashes and bones.

The cleaning was almost complete; Danzo's ashes and bones were swept into their dustpans by several Anbu Ninja.

After they finished sweeping, another group of Anbu Ninja quickly appeared; the next task was theirs.

They didn't do anything else; they simply lifted the planks from the path leading to the Memorial Stone.

Several Anbu Ninja lifted the road slab, revealing the bare earth beneath. Then, under the watchful eyes of so many Konoha citizens, the Anbu Ninja evenly scattered the ashes of the corpse and bones Danzo in their baskets onto the exposed earth.

After they finished scattering the slabs, the ANBU Anbu Ninja who had lifted them back into place without saying a word, restoring the road to its original position.

Of course, although it was restored, the road beneath it was now littered with Danzo's ashes and bones, meaning he would never be able to rise again.

Having done all this, the Anbu Ninja packed up their tools and left quickly and decisively, disappearing just as easily.

They left, but the path through the open space remained cleared, and for a moment no one went there voluntarily.

So many Konoha citizens gathered around this open space, looking at each other, all knowing what was going on, but no one took the initiative to go over.

To everyone's surprise, the first one to walk over was Naruto Uzumaki, that blond kid.

Filled with rage and resentment, the young man ran straight out of the crowd and into the open space.

Without hesitation, he stepped directly onto that road, onto those slabs where Danzo's ashes were Danzo!

After stepping on it, Naruto Uzumaki gritted his teeth in anger, not only walking back and forth on it, but also jumping and stomping on it as if he was trying to vent his anger.

Seeing this, and realizing that Naruto Uzumaki was the first to try something new, the Konoha villagers around them looked at each other in even greater bewilderment.

But at least one person took the initiative, even if that person's identity was unusual, and even if everyone had mixed feelings about that person, there was still a first one.

As Naruto Uzumaki walked over, a second and a third followed, and then many more people walked over. A large number of Konoha citizens gathered around, quickly filling the empty space.

Many people kept rushing over and squeezing in that direction, constantly stepping on that road, especially choosing to step on the few road slabs where the ashes and remains of Danzo.

Clearly, they were venting their anger. They still couldn't forget the crimes Danzo had committed, and they were still seeking revenge on the dead Danzo. They were determined to ensure that Danzo would never be able to rise again.

The people on the execution platform, of course, also witnessed this scene.

When they saw that Danzo would suffer such terrible treatment even after his death, their expressions were very complicated, especially Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura, whose expressions were the most fearful.

These two old men were truly terrified, especially after witnessing Danzo's fate. How could they not be afraid? They were particularly afraid that they would suffer a similar fate after death.

Yun Yan ignored the two old men at this point; in his eyes, they were practically invisible.

He turned his head and looked at the people around him, especially the heads of the various families, and finally looked at Yun Yan Hiruzen Sarutobi beside him.

He smiled, looked at the excited Konoha citizens below the execution platform, and finally said, as if sighing:

"The people's hearts are worth talking about, everyone."

What the hell is this "popular support"? In this situation, with this scene unfolding, can we really describe it as "popular support"? You can use this kind of public sentiment—venting anger—if you want, we don't care! And we dare not use it!

This was the sentiment shared by everyone around Yun Yan at that moment.
