" Uchiha Gen'yō! You thief of this world! You have no right to judge the ' Will of Fire '!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi, filled with anger and resentment, echoed above the Hokage Rock, yet it sounded so pale and powerless.
His response was a soft laugh from the Moon Palace's Divine Grace Hall.
"Hehe--"
On the screen of light, the god-like man who had been reclining on his throne slowly and with great interest straightened up.
Uchiha Gen'yō!
His Kamui eyes, burning with nine golden halos, seemed to pierce through endless space, landing on the four aged figures atop the Hokage Rock.
Hiruzen Sarutobi, Mitokado Homura, and Utatane Koharu.
"Qualifications?" Uchiha Gen'yō's voice wasn't loud, but it carried an absolute, unquestionable authority, as if his words carried weight. "In this world, only I have the right to define everything!"
" The Will of Fire?" A sneer curled at the corner of his lips. "That kind of thing that only knows how to sacrifice its comrades, form cliques, and deceive itself deserves to be called 'the Will'?"
"In my opinion, that's nothing but the most ridiculous lie fabricated by you parasites who have usurped high positions in order to maintain your rule!"
"You're talking nonsense!" Utatane Koharu, was so angry that she trembled all over and pointed at the light screen in the sky and shouted.
"I'm talking nonsense?" Uchiha Gen'yō seemed to have heard the funniest joke. "Very good."
He slowly raised one finger.
The finger, enveloped in golden light, gently pointed downwards to Shimura Danzō, who was lying on the ground like a rag doll, controlled by Itachi's Genjutsu.
"Itachi, and my children."
Gen'yō's voice turned cold and filled with an undeniable air of command.
"The trial is about to begin."
"Bring the last 'defendant' up with me."
"I want the whole world to see just how ugly the so-called ' Konoha High Command ' who ruled this Shinobi World for decades really is!"
"Yes!" Uchiha Itachi bowed slightly, understanding Gen'yō's intention.
The Uchiha children below instantly became excited!
"Fantastic! Our lord is going to personally judge these old geezers!"
"Sho! You and I go drag that old dog named Danzo up here!" Uchiha Yōko decisively commanded.
"Alright! Leave it to me!"
A cruel smile appeared on Uchiha Shō's face. He flashed to Danzo's side, grabbed him roughly by the collar like a tattered sack, and then, together with Yōko, leaped to the top of the ravaged Hokage Rock.
With a loud "bang!"
Shimura Danzō's body, which had long since lost consciousness, was mercilessly thrown at the feet of Hiruzen Sarutobi, Mitokado Homura, and Utatane Koharu.
That concludes the discussion.
The true core of power in Konoha, hidden beneath the aura of the " Hokage ".
The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Hokage Advisor, Mitokado Homura.
Utatane Koharu, the Hokage Advisor.
And Shimura Danzō, the leader of "Root".
These four, who dominated Konoha's decades of upheaval and created countless dark and bloody Konoha F4, finally "gathered" on the ruins that symbolized Konoha's highest power in the most shameful and ironic way!
They will face the most public and cruel final judgment from the God of the new era here!
This scene was clearly presented to billions of people around the world through a giant light screen in the sky.
Everyone was utterly stunned by this dramatic and impactful scene!
"My God, are these the legendary Konoha High Command?"
"Apart from the Hokage, the other three don't seem like good people."
"Was that Shimura Danzō who was dragged up? He looks like a dead dog."
"This is practically a public execution! Uchiha Gen'yō too ruthless!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the unconscious Danzo at his feet, then at Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu beside him, their faces ashen. Finally, he looked up at the god-like figure in the sky, and an unprecedented sense of humiliation and desolation welled up in his heart.
He spent his entire life trying to protect Konoha's "face".
In the end, however, he himself became Konoha's biggest "laughing stock," displayed to the world like an exhibit!
" Uchiha Gen'yō, what exactly do you want?!" Hiruzen Sarutobi's voice became hoarse and trembling due to extreme anger and humiliation.
What do I want?
Uchiha Gen'yō slowly stood up from the throne.
The Setsuna he stood up, an invisible, terrifying divine Kamui, powerful enough to make the entire planet tremble, descended upon him!
At the summit of Hokage Rock, Hiruzen Sarutobi and his two companions felt as if an irresistible ancient divine mountain was pressing down on their shoulders. Their legs cracked uncontrollably, and they almost knelt down on the spot!
Only with the support of the infinite Chakra from the Impure World Reincarnation could they barely maintain their standing posture, but their wretched state was already fully exposed.
"It's very simple."
Uchiha Gen'yō's cold, judgmental voice boomed across the heavens and earth like the wrath of a god!
"I will expose your hypocritical facade in front of the whole world!"
"I will make all those who have been deceived by you see clearly what kind of filthy, rotten garbage your so- Will of Fire ' really is!"
"I will forever nail you to the pillar of historical shame!"
He slowly raised his hand and pointed at Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"The trial now begins!"
"The first charge—dereliction of duty, collusion with the enemy, and betrayal of the village!"
" Hiruzen Sarutobi, do you dare tell the whole world how you made a secret agreement with Chiyo of Sunagakure during the Second Shinobi World War, deliberately betraying the information of your own subordinate Hatake Sakumo, causing his mission to fail and ultimately forcing him to commit suicide?!"
boom!
This statement shocked the world!
"What?! There's such a hidden story behind the death of 'Konoha White Fang '?!"
"Impossible! How could the Third Hokage do such a thing?!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi's pupils contracted sharply, his face filled with disbelief and horror!
This matter is a top secret in Konoha! Apart from him and a Danzo, there could be no fifth person who knows about it!
How did Uchiha Gen'yō know that?!
However, Uchiha Gen'yō did not give him any chance to explain.
The image on the giant light screen in the sky shifts.
Top-secret scrolls bearing the Hokage, blurry black-and-white photographs recording the contents of secret meetings, and crystal-clear audio recordings processed with special technology—
It appeared before everyone like a tidal wave!
The evidence is irrefutable!
In an instant, Hiruzen Sarutobi's already pale face completely lost all color!
He opened his mouth as if to refute, but couldn't utter a single word.
And Uchiha Gen'yō's cold, devilish voice continued.
"What? Speechless now, old man?"
"Don't rush, this is just the beginning."
His gaze slowly shifted from Hiruzen Sarutobi to the old woman beside him who had been the most arrogant and mean-spirited person throughout.
Utatane Koharu.
The moment she met Gen'yō's gaze, Utatane Koharu felt as if her soul had been frozen! A sense of foreboding surged wildly into her heart!
"As for you, Utatane Koharu."
A cruel smile curled at the corner of Uchiha Gen'yō's lips.
"How about we talk about ' Ministry of Medicine funding' and 'human experimentation'?"
