After Hiruzen Sarutobi finished explaining, Yongye raised his right hand, with his palm facing down, and pressed his fingertips on the edge of Gavel, pressing lightly.
Snap.
Rosewood fell on the desk, and the tail sound disappeared very quickly, making an explosive sound. Eight Water-and-Fire Staff were raised and dropped at the same time, and the muffled sound caught the lingering sound of Gavel, completely suppressing all the comments from the audience.
"Okay, the case is completely clear, there is no need to waste any more time."
"Hiruzen Sarutobi, Orochimaru and this group are all found guilty."
Mitokado Homura released his hand from the iron chain and struggled forward. The iron chain made a short scraping sound on his ankle.
"I have something to say!"
Utatane Koharu spoke almost at the same time, and the voice was shriller than Mitokado Homura, almost hoarse.
"I want to cry out for injustice!"
Yongye's eyes swept across their faces and landed on Zhan Zhao.
"Take them down! Execution Rod wait!"
Wang Chao Kazuma Han pressed up from two directions at the same time. The two people's movements were exactly the same as when holding Hiruzen Sarutobi, one left and one right, pressing the shoulders of Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura to press them to the ground.
The rise and fall of Water-and-Fire Staff followed closely, flying up and down and making a crackling sound.
These two people were far worse than Danzo and Hiruzen Sarutobi, and they immediately started to wail and scream in agony.
Yongye's eyes moved away from the two of them and fell on Asuma.
Asuma's face was still pressed to the ground, his shoulders were no longer shaking, and the iron cuffs on his wrists hung in front of him, as if all his life had been sucked away.
"These people are all guilty. Asuma is also guilty for trying to rob the prison."
"Since he has made many contributions in the past and has not caused any real harm to Konoha, this director has made the decision to expel him from Konoha and never return!"
Zhan Zhao walked out from the side of the queue, squatted down, and inserted his fingers into the iron cuff lockhole on Asuma's wrist.
There was a short click at the metal bite, and the iron cuffs fell off the wrists, bouncing on the Stone Slab ground.
Zhan Zhao raised his other hand and pressed his fingertips on the Cursed Seal lines on the side of Asuma's neck that had mostly faded away. Chakra penetrated under the skin and untied the remaining Chakra Sealing Jutsu patterns inch by inch.
Asuma's back slowly straightened up from its bowed state.
His dull eyes moved away from the ground and fell on his newly untied wrists, and his knuckles unclenched and closed again.
Wang Chao heard Secret Voice Transmission's instruction from Yongye, leaned over from the other side, squatted down, put one hand on Asuma's shoulder to steady his body, and placed two Chakra Blade in front of him with the other hand.
Asuma's signature weapon, Flying Swallow.
Wang Chao's other hand took out a dark brown money bag from his arms and placed it next to Flying Swallow.
This is the loot seized from Asuma last night, and now it has been returned in full.
Wang Chao pressed his fingertips on the knot at the mouth of the bag to make sure it was tied firmly, then released it, stood up, and stepped aside.
Asuma's eyes paused on Flying Swallow for a moment, then moved away and landed on the ground in front of his knees. He did not reach out to take it, nor did he speak.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes were fixed on Asuma, and he was greatly relieved when he saw that Yongye kept his word and let him go directly.
"Asuma, leave quickly, take good care of yourself in the future, and never come back again."
Asuma was shocked, raised his right hand, and his fingertips touched the handle of Flying Swallow.
He flipped his wrist so that the tip of the blade faced upwards. The blade drew a short arc in the air and stopped at the side of his neck.
The tip of the blade was against the skin, half an inch below the Adam's apple. The muscles on the neck tightened at that moment, and the Adam's apple rolled half a circle up and down on the edge of the blade.
He turned his head and his eyes fell on Hiruzen Sarutobi's face. His eyes were wet, but there were no tears in his pupils, only a layer of resentment burning from the depths of his soul.
"With a father who commits such a heinous crime like you, where else can I go except Hell?"
At the same moment, the blade cut without hesitation.
The blade made almost no sound when it sank into the skin. The blood vessels on the side of the neck were cut open with a slender cut the moment the blade tip slid over. Blood poured out from the incision, first as a thin line, and then quickly spread into a dark red moist area, flowing down the line of the neck, soaking through the depression above the collarbone, and seeping into the edge of the collar.
Asuma's hand let go.
Flying Swallow slipped from his fingers, brushed his knee, bounced on the Stone Slab ground, and then stopped.
His body fell forward, with his knees hitting the ground first, then his shoulders, and finally his entire face, leaning sideways against the gray-white stone surface.
Hiruzen Sarutobi howled at the top of his lungs.
"Asuma--"
He struggled forward desperately, and the chains scraped on the ground with a harsh sound. Then Zhan Zhao pressed his shoulders from the side, and his whole body was pressed back to the ground, and he could only twist like a mouthworm.
Yongye's eyes fell on Asuma's body lying sideways on the ground. He tapped his fingers lightly on the edge of the desk and nodded with satisfaction.
This is the final kill!
This is the ultimate revenge!
The only little surprise was that he had prepared the words Heart-Severing, but before he could pull the trigger, Asuma had already fallen down.
In Mindscape, a cold system prompt sounded at the same moment as Asuma's body fell.
[Ding--Hiruzen Sarutobi's desperate defense is broken! The host successfully seizes his luck and obtains Ultimate Blind Box×1.]
Yongye looked away from Asuma without moving in the direction of the crowd or making any unnecessary movements.
"Turn on."
[Ding--Ultimate Blind Box has been opened. Congratulations to the host, you have obtained the luck, soul and cultivation of Divine Flame Kindling: Hiruzen Sarutobi, cause and effect karma. Ignite Kindling to cast Divine Flame. Kindling can be accumulated. The more accumulated, the stronger Divine Flame will be.]
Deep in Yongye's Mindscape, a new panel emerged.
It is suspended on a dark background, with a very light dark golden sheen on the edges.
A row of fine lines is engraved in the center of the panel. Those lines extend downward and converge into a name at the end - Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Next to the name is a very small head portrait, with drooped eyebrows and deep wrinkles, and the arc of the mouth is still frozen in the slightly open posture when Asuma fell down.
A very light dark red halo hung below the portrait, jumped slightly, and then stabilized.
Kindling one: Hiruzen Sarutobi, waiting to be lit.
It's a Ultimate Blind Box that's worthy of being a dead-end defense-breaker. It's just different from other glamorous products!
Yongye was overjoyed and withdrew his perception, and the panel in Mindscape fell silent.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's shoulders were still shaking slightly under Zhan Zhao's hands. His eyes were fixed on Asuma's body lying on the ground, his mouth wide open, and the sound in his throat had changed from a roar to a very low and hoarse gasp.
His body moved forward half an inch again, and his fingers stretched out in the direction of Asuma. His fingertips made two false grabs in the air, but they didn't touch anything.
Zhan Zhao's hands were as strong as iron, locking Hiruzen Sarutobi tightly. In his eyes, there was the joy of revenge, but also the sadness of missing relatives.
It was this day that I was the first to stand up and join Uchiha Yongye, Zhan Zhao and others!
