His death provided the entire repressed society with an excellent emotional outlet.

It also gave the refugee group in the Land of Earth an opportunity to express their loyalty and integrate into the new country.

In the center of the square, at the base of the giant statue of Uchiha Sasuke, the gate opened.

From there, Ōnoki was escorted and slowly walked into the public's sight.

The appearance of this person was like sparks splashing into an oil barrel, instantly causing a violent reaction among the people.

Some were so emotional that they even wanted to go over the ninja's blockade and beat the poor guy themselves.

As a last resort, Tenzang once again used the Wood Release Ninjutsu, but it still failed to ease the excitement in the hearts of the people.

"Quiet."

Suddenly, a cold voice echoed loudly above the square.

The sound was not loud, but it had a captivating power that made everyone feel awe, and the commotion quieted down.

On the top of the stairs, Uchiha Sasuke, wearing the robe of the Hokage and holding a sword, calmly scanned the dark crowd.

The crowd looked back at their leader eagerly. Everyone stopped talking and waited quietly for the ceremony to take place.

The great affairs of the country lie in sacrifice and military affairs.

Since Ohnoki started it, the "Execution Ceremony" has become an annual ritual in the Land of Fire.

The supreme ruler Uchiha Sasuke walked down the stairs and came to the side of the war criminal.

The sharp sword flashed and chopped off Ōnoki's head very neatly.

Blood spattered on the flagstone floor, as red as fine grape wine, bright red in summer.

Chapter 448: Crossroads

Killing was not a pleasant thing - at least, not for Sasuke.

What's more, the other party is such a pathetic old man who has completely given up resistance.

But for some people, dying is more useful than living.

It is more useful to die in glory than in obscurity.

On the live TV screen, Uchiha Sasuke's face turned pale. He silently put away his sword, turned around and left the Imperial Palace Square.

The land of grass.

On the east side of the Great Wall, at the border area that has not yet been infected, it is one of the many member states of the New Fire Alliance.

Township pub.

This place is located on a major transportation route, with countless travelers passing by every day, and it is a mixed crowd of all kinds.

In the tavern, ninjas and refugees from various places gathered together, watching this "execution ceremony" intently.

"I do not understand.

"Why did Sasuke have to do it himself?

"Based on my understanding of his character, he wouldn't be keen on this kind of thing."

In the tavern, watching the ugly expression on Sasuke's face on TV.

Hozuki Hozuki who was staying here couldn't help but say to Karin who was standing beside her.

"You don't understand that, young man."

A middle-aged man who looked like a businessman said:

“In our New Fire Alliance, we are very cautious about sentencing to death.

“Sasuke-sama believes that if you cannot kill the person by looking into his eyes, then the person’s crime may not be that serious.

“Death is a serious matter.

“As a citizen of the Alliance, I am happy to see that our leaders have such awareness.”

The businessman said proudly.

After a pause, he blinked his eyes and said under the influence of alcohol:

“Also, you just called Sasuke-sama by his first name, which was extremely rude.

"I don't like it very much."

"Ok."

Hozuki Suigetsu was no longer surprised by the public's protection of Uchiha Sasuke.

He just shrugged and smiled at Karin beside him without arguing with her.

"Humph!

"It's just a hypocritical show."

However, at the other end of the table, a young man with gray hair and brown eyes, his right hand wrapped in a bandage, snorted with disdain.

"You kid."

The businessman was about to get angry, but when he saw the ninja bag on the young man's waist and realized that he was a ninja, he immediately sobered up a little.

He just turned his head away and ignored it.

However, Gui Deng Shui Yue was in high spirits. He grinned and leaned forward to ask:

“In the New Fire League, everyone worships Sasuke as a god.

"It's rare to find a guy like you."

"There's no law that says people have to like him, right?"

The boy glanced at the image of Sasuke on TV and snorted coldly.

"That's true. Actually, I don't like him very much either."

Ignoring Karin's warning with a roll of eyes, Hozuki walked over with a glass of wine in hand and asked:

"My name is Shuiyue, what's yours?"

"My name is Sora."

The ninja named "Sora" looked at Suigetsu in surprise.

Along the way, because of his attitude towards Sasuke, he had several conflicts with too many civilians and ninjas.

This is the first time I have met someone like Shuiyue who agrees with my point of view.

"If it weren't for Master Sasuke, you two would have already become part of the Red Demon now."

At the side, the businessman couldn't help but mutter.

"That's the fate reserved for ordinary people like you."

Kong responded coldly:

"Come to think of it, that Uchiha kid was just lucky."

Ever since Sasuke scolded him for "being shameless" in the Fire Temple, Kong's feelings towards Sasuke have become more and more twisted.

It was obviously he who provoked me first, but in the end he couldn't hide his cold heart. If he's not a hypocritical guy, then what else could he be?

At this time, I only heard Kong Kankan say:

“If I were given the same bloodline and the same teacher.

"My achievements may not be inferior to this person's!"

"Pfft."

On the side, even Gui Deng Shui Yue couldn't help but laugh out loud.

“You have no idea what he’s been through.”

Facing the young man's words, Karin couldn't help but curl her lips.

"Eh~"

Here, Suigetsu quickly stopped Karin, turned around and pretended to be serious, and said seriously:

"Then, shouldn't a young talent like you go to the Kuzi Country and join Orochimaru's army?"

"Suigetsu!"

On the side, Karin's face changed, and she couldn't help but feel that Suigetsu's intentions were too sinister.

Just as he was about to stop him, he saw the ninja named "Kong" was overjoyed and said excitedly:

"How do you know?

"I am planning to go to the Land of Hot Springs from here to contact Lord Orochimaru.

"Could it be that you also mean this?"

Just as Kong was about to invite him to go together, Shuiyue was startled and immediately waved her hands:

“No, no, no, no.

"Brother, I don't have any big ambitions. I just want to live a peaceful and free life for a few years.

"With such a beautiful woman by my side, why would I want to risk my life?"

As Mizuki spoke, he mischievously reached out to touch Karin's arm.

The latter's face flushed, and he punched him hard on the head, splashing water.

"it is good

"Bar"

Kong stared at the scene in amazement, feeling that the strength of the man and woman in front of him was truly unfathomable.

"Anyway,"

Here, Kong finished the last sip of beer in his glass, straightened his clothes, stood up, and said loudly:
