Chapter 84 - 77: Earth

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.

Half of it was darkened for some reason, it was like it's corroding.

Unknown to them, Hikaru had swiped a part of Danzo's humanity, thus corroding his soul.

With a cruel smile on his face, Hikaru shattered Danzo's soul. No one would be able to fix what he just did, and even for him, fixing a soul is quite hard but not impossible.

And with that, Danzo was dead. No longer will he be a threat to people. He's dead, Hikaru has finally solved his anger, by killing Danzo. Even though half of his emotions are gone, he could still feel the pain of losing someone close to him. Danzo had betrayed Hiruzen countless times, and yet, that old man still forgave Danzo.

But Hikaru is different, he is not as merciful as Hiruzen.

(A Few Moments Later)

After the execution, Hikaru left along with Azumi and Sasuke. But not before taking two unknown individuals with him.

Sasuke(A) and Boruto couldn't speak as Hikaru forced them to walk with some strange jutsu.

Sasuke(A) was patient, knowing he has no power right now. Boruto though… not so much.

Hikaru and Azumi's house was destroyed along with everyone else's, so Hikaru decided to buy the largest tent that anyone could offer. But the biggest thing he could get was an average house size, because he would take up too much space in the village if he bought a big one. If only he was able to get the perfect control of Wood Element from the Wood Minor God, then he could've built a house by now.

'Stubborn bastard.' Hikaru cursed inside his head after thinking about the Minor Gods.

(Back on Earth)

It is now 2021 on Earth. The serious pandemic called, Covid-19, has been going on for more than a year. Just after making a cure for it back in December, 2020, the Virus developed an immunity towards the cure in less than a month! It is now stronger than before. The deaths around the world because of that virus, could be estimated to be around 50,000,000 in more than a year. The cases of the virus are increasing but the current number they could give is around 200,000,000 cases.

Scientists still couldn't figure out how the virus mutated. The front liners around the world are dying, it was a sad year for humanity.

Of course, there are also dumb people going out and not wearing face masks nor face shield around the whole f.u.c.k.i.n.g world. And not only are they not wearing masks, they are rallying for the stupidest reasons possible for mankind, "Not to discriminate against Pedophiles!" Like, what the f.u.c.k?

Some people are now normalizing pedophilia, and most of them are racist to other races. People are dying all over the world and they think this is the biggest problem? In fact, it's not even a problem!

This was truly a sad sight for humanity. Scientists, Doctors, Government Officials kept telling the people not to go out without wearing a mask but they were stubborn. Even some people think that the Covid-19 is just a big "Government Conspiracy".

Anyway, we're not focusing on the world's problem right now.

Ena has been the most successful solo Idol to ever live right now. She makes 3 Million USD from just selling her albums. She has her own Youtube Channel, where she makes most of her music videos now. She has 35 Million subscribers in her channel alone, and almost all of them are japanese.

Obviously, she is now one of the richest women in Japan.

She rose to success smoothly with no troubles coming to her. She had made a solid footing in the industry, no one will be able to overcome her in terms of talent in the music industry. She has also become an Actress, starring in some popular Japanese Movies. She didn't discriminate in the genres of the film. Horror, comedy, romance, drama, etc.

Of course, with fame, comes the haters. They don't criticize her, they just hate her for no reason whatsoever. They say things like, "Go and die in a ditch, bitch." and "You don't deserve all that money, you're just a greedy whore." These kinds of comments have been circulating all over the internet. It was obvious that they are jealous of her success.

And honestly, it's been getting to her. But they were not worth it, so she just ignored them.

(Scene Change)

For the Hiroaki Family, it was a sad day. July 27, 2021, 10:37 am. The day her father died. Haruto had been infected with the CoronaVirus. Ena tried all means to cure her father by employing doctors from all around the globe, yet, he still died. Fortunately, they didn't get infected, even though he was near them.

Ena, for the first time, took a break from her ongoing career in the media industry, not wanting to do anything right now.

She holed herself inside her room, trying to overcome the grief of losing a father.

And of course, the very next day, the media decided to publicize the death of her father, which turned into a big sensational news. Millions of people sent her gifts to comfort her through the mail. But some people decided to hate on her, even though she just lost someone very important in her life.
