Chapter 84 - 77: Earth (1/2)

Countless people showed in the middle of the village, while some stayed in their houses because of their injuries. In front of them was Danzo, all beaten up. It was clear that he had suffered torture before his final day. The civilians were confused as to why one of their Elders was about to be executed.

There were large tents everywhere, this is where most of the people in the village stayed in since the progress of building back what was destroyed was taking too long. Also, they had to clean the destroyed buildings around the village. They can recycle the materials used to make those buildings but some stuff in there is just garbage, they can't use those.

Danzo was forcefully kneeled on top of a platform that Hikaru made with his Earth Element Magic. The platform was huge, 50 people could fit in there and still have room for more.

The council, including Sasuke and Azumi, were there too, standing behind Danzo. Hikaru, on the other hand, is the executioner. He's just right beside Danzo.

The crowd was murmuring with each other, until Hikaru gestured for them to stop with his hand.

He walked in the middle of the platform he made, just right in front of Danzo, who had lost all hope.

”Ahem, as you all can see, Elder Danzo is being executed today. There is a reason for this, Elder Danzo had committed unspeakable and inhumane experiments on live humans along with the now deceased Orochimaru. He had also kidnapped children from orphanages to turn them into one of his Root Shinobis.” Hikaru then looked down upon the people if they had any questions, seeing that they didn't have any questions, he continued.

”Root was an organization that operates almost the same as the Anbu Black Ops, but those who join the Root will have to discard any emotions or humanity left in them. Elder Danzo was the one who created this organization. The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, saw that this was a cruel thing to do to other people and decided to disband the Root. But Elder Danzo has been operating the disbanded organization behind everyone's back.”

The crowd below him started to murmur with each other again, until Hikaru stopped them again with a raise of his hand.

”Under the decree of the council, and for the good of the village, Elder Danzo will be executed through soul destruction!” Hikaru cruelly stated.

Soul Destruction, that's just a name he made up but it fits perfectly with his technique. He can destroy, or dissipate, mortal souls by will if he could get his hands on them. This is a very cruel punishment, since those who gets their souls destroyed, will no longer be able to reincarnate or repent for their sins in hell.

Hiding in the crowd was the A.d.u.l.t version of Sasuke and Boruto. They dressed up as father and son, Boruto had to dye his hair black to look like Sasuke and also used makeup to hide his whisker marks. But he couldn't hide his bright blue eyes. They had to do this, since if they just use Transformation Jutsu, they might get suspicion from those who could sense chakra.

(Note: From now on, the older version of Sasuke is going to be named like this, Sasuke(A). And Teenager Sasuke will just be [Sasuke]).

It was within Sasuke's(A) expectation that things wouldn't be similar to his home dimension, but he couldn't think that there's already so much difference here. His other self here was not going around, hunting Itachi. And right beside the council was someone who looked like Naruto but instead of a boy, it was a girl!

And there's an individual he doesn't recognize, a boy with feminine features. Long black hair, almost pale like skin, black eyes, and quite tall for his age. Around 5'11. He wore platinum gold armor. It was weird, since he was certain that this kind of armor did not exist in the shinobi world. Only those samurai armors, like the one Madara wore in the 4th Shinobi War.

Not only that, this boy seems to be revered around here. He heard the civilians say that this boy, Hikaru, can battle multiple Kage level shinobis and still win without breaking a sweat. And from what he can see with his sharingan, this boy has enough chakra to compete with any tailed beast.

This boy is a very dangerous individual, from what he can see. He should be careful, or he might get in trouble with this boy.

Suddenly, as if time had slowed down, he saw the boy look at him directly and smile at him.

'Not good!'

Sasuke tried leaving the crowd but he found that he couldn't move. Something was binding him! And it was the same for Boruto! They've been found out!

If only he could use his Rinnegan but his chakra is still too low from his battle with Urashiki. At most, it will take a week to regenerate his entire chakra pool! If he uses his rinnegan now to travel to another dimension, they might just end up in some kind of warring era.

He just has to calmly talk with that boy.

Hikaru knew that there was someone here who could use a dojutsu similar to Sharingan, but he didn't think that it could really be the Sharingan. He'll have to talk to him later. And also, that boy has something strange inside him. It was like a bijuu but at the same time, it was not. And the right eye of that boy has some kind of dormant power, he'll figure out later.

First comes Danzo's execution.

”I will now proceed to the execution, please watch carefully. This is how Konoha will treat its traitors.” Hikaru said as he walked near Danzo.

”You can't kill me because without me, Konoha will fall!” Danzo desperately said.

The only reaction he got from Hikaru was a cruel smile, ”You're delusional.”

Then, he put his right hand on Danzo's head before performing the soul extraction. Most of the time, he would hide his mana from plain sight but this time, everyone could clearly see it.

The soul of Danzo.
