Judgment Descends Upon the Naruto World

Chapter 99: Chapter 99: The Trial of the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen!



Once again, "Magatsuhi no Kami" is unleashed!

Now that Chiyu has attained the might of the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, he can freely, effortlessly control "Magatsuhi no Kami."

At this moment, he directly deploys "Magatsuhi no Kami's" hellish judgment and scarlet flames to burn Sarutobi Hiruzen's very soul, without letting him truly die!

This is precisely what Chiyu meant by "to live wanting death but never dying!"

In an instant—

Sarutobi Hiruzen, within "Magatsuhi no Kami's" purgatory, witnesses the sum of his life's sins.

All the evil karmic retribution from his past now transforms into a boomerang of sorts, igniting his soul in a relentless blaze.

Roaring flames erupt!

Blazing furiously!

Causing Sarutobi Hiruzen to let out heart‐rending screams that pierce the darkness, shaking everyone on the battlefield to their core.

This one time leader of Konoha—this Third Hokage once reputed as one of the top figures in the ninja world—has now been utterly subdued, turned into a criminal awaiting judgment, a captive beneath the sentence of Uchiha Chiyu's powers!

Hiruzen's agony and despair seem to infect every onlooker.

Especially the remnants under his command—anbu forces, the Sarutobi clan. They have already taken severe casualties, their forces scattered and undone!

In truth, purely in terms of power blocs, the Police Force versus the Anbu, or the Uchiha clan versus the Sarutobi clan, might require a real pitched battle to see which side triumphs.

Yet because of Chiyu's unstoppable might, the Uchiha side's morale soared, while the Anbu and the Sarutobi forces, trembling with fear, saw their morale plummet!

After all:

Uchiha Itachi is dead.

The self‐styled "Uchiha Madara" was defeated and fled.

Mitokado Homura is dead.

The Shimura clan is extinct.

And upon the battlefield in front of the Hokage Building:

Legendary Sannin Jiraiya was beaten down by Chiyu,

Edo Tensei Second Hokage Senju Tobirama was likewise easily handled and met defeat,

Even Sarutobi Hiruzen himself could not contend with him from start to finish.

No need to mention that over on the other side, Koharu Utatane has been captured alive by Uchiha Fugaku.

The Anbu and Sarutobi forces have no will left to fight…

The Police Force and the Uchiha, naturally, show no mercy to their foes.

Before long…

Everything collapses in unstoppable fashion.

Through "Magatsuhi no Kami," Chiyu takes hold of Sarutobi Hiruzen's life or death, subjecting him to a hellish punishment—his spirit incinerated in endless pain, no escape from anguish, no release in death!

Every Uchiha looks on with fierce joy, cheering loudly, delight shining on their faces.

Meanwhile, Fugaku—thinking of Uchiha Itachi, of Uchiha Shisui, and of how the Uchiha have all these years been marginalized and maligned, suppressed and insulted—can only sigh in deep emotion…

A sense of release!

Satisfaction!

Exhilaration!!!

All the Uchiha share in that same sentiment.

As for Koharu, captured alive, she can only let out a long sigh; she knows the era of these elderly powers has fully ended. She revealed her own strength just prior—proficiency in sensory, Suiton, and medical arts, certainly ranking her as a true elite. But Uchiha Fugaku having awakened his Mangekyō Sharingan left her no chance at all.

Hence now, all is decided.

Off in the distance, the two Great Sage Toads, Fukasaku and Shima, are calling out softly:

"Jiraiya, run!"

But Jiraiya hesitates…

"Run away? Where could I possibly go…?"

Fukasaku insists:

"Where there's life, there's hope!"

The pair exchange glances and promptly annul the summoning. In a single move, they vanish from the battlefield, returning to Mt. Myōboku, then forcibly cast Reverse Summoning on Jiraiya too, whisking him to Myōboku as well.

Noticing this, Uchiha Yamakaze shouts:

"Chiyu-sama, Jiraiya escaped!"

Chiyu only gives a calm nod.

Mt. Myōboku…

Eventually, that too will be a place that falls.

He pins Sarutobi Hiruzen under "Magatsuhi no Kami," then joins the fray himself.

Once the power of Susanoo is unleashed, it's like slicing through rotted logs!

What Anbu? What Sarutobi clan?

How could they be any threat at all?

In the blink of an eye—

Splattering blood, severed limbs scattered.

All the while, the notifications in Chiyu's mind keep chiming…

Before long, the moonlight's blood‐red glow recedes, and dawn approaches.

A "Night of Annihilation" that should have belonged to the Uchiha clan has, by total reversal of fortunes, become the extermination of the Shimura clan and the Sarutobi clan!

Captured are Sarutobi Hiruzen (alive) and Koharu.

At daybreak, the Hokage Building, half destroyed, and the area around it lie in total ruins—corpses strewn across the battlefield, rivers of blood.

Slaughter…

…finally ends.

Though the Uchiha also suffered casualties, comparatively speaking it is almost miraculous—an overwhelming victory indeed!

Once Chiyu stops fighting, the system notifies him:

[You have successfully freed the Anbu from their dark, hopeless existence—virtue beyond measure, Great Karma! +4000 Virtue Points!]

[You have successfully helped the Sarutobi clan integrate with the village, removing the limitations of their narrow clan identity—virtue beyond measure, Great Virtue! +4000 Virtue Points!]

And with previous accumulations from defeating the masked man, Jiraiya, Edo Tensei Tobirama, etc., the sum exceeds ten thousand more points in one fell swoop!

Chiyu casually allocates them all toward his visual prowess:

Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, 31,500 / 50,000 XP!

[Congratulations—Cumulative Good Virtue surpasses 30,000!]

[Reward unlocked: Your personal Summoning Beast—The Divine Beast "Xiezhi"]

Chiyu senses his EMS's eye power surging to unimaginable levels.

Within his mind, he perceives a brand-new summoning presence…

Xiezhi—the legendary beast akin to part sheep, part deer, part lion, part qilin, covered in a teal coat like rising flame, each hoof stepping on swirling clouds, able to fly on the wind, skilled in punishing evil and praising virtue.

Possessing keen intellect, it can speak human language, discern truth from falsehood, good from evil, and, upon spotting a malefactor, will charge them with its single horn.

In short, the perfect matching beast for Chiyu.

At daybreak, the Uchiha clan firmly controls the entire situation.

All the wounded among them are treated, the dead among the enemy—Anbu and the Sarutobi clan—are cleaned up. Prisoners including Koharu and Sarutobi Hiruzen await their final judgment.

Amid the half‐collapsed Hokage Building, with the adjacent roads turned to rubble, the entire Uchiha clan stands upright in solemn formation, having escaped the tragic fate once forced upon them. A new era dawns.

Uchiha Fugaku steps forward:

"Chiyu, not even in our wildest dreams these many years did we imagine the Uchiha clan's destiny would be resolved so perfectly in your hands…

Shimura Danzo—dead.

Mitokado Homura—dead.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, Koharu—both captured alive.

The Anbu are practically defunct.

The Sarutobi clan destroyed, the Shimura clan annihilated!

This outcome is more than we could ever have dreamed—no, it's practically a miracle!

And it's all thanks to you!"

With that, Uchiha Fugaku—Patriarch—bow deeply in gratitude.

All other Uchiha also bow in unison, lifting their voices together:

"Our thanks to Chiyu-sama!"

"Our thanks to Chiyu-sama!"

Chiyu, taking in the scene, stands amid the cold dawn wind, black hair drifting in the breeze.

Finally, an era has ended…

And a major stage in his own grand design is complete, though it is only the beginning…

"Patriarch, I myself am a member of the Uchiha as well. Everything I've done has simply been following my own conviction. There's no need for such ceremony."

Chiyu helps Fugaku to his feet.

Fugaku cannot help sighing in relief:

"Chiyu, what of Sarutobi Hiruzen now?"

Chiyu replies evenly:

"He won't escape death.

But before that, I shall publicly put him on trial, revealing every one of his crimes so that the entire world may see his true face.

He once boasted he would rather die than see the Uchiha clan take control of Konoha…"

"In that case, I'll make sure he witnesses it."

Fugaku smiles faintly:

"Understood—We'll follow your lead."

He lifts his gaze to the sky, where the sun finally rises over the horizon.

The golden rays spread across the entire village, shining upon the once‐bloodstained battlefield with an oddly sacred radiance.

Elsewhere, the various major clans of Konoha, each having quietly observed, now fully grasp the outcome of last night's final battle. People sigh in awe, hearts shaken.

All of them know full well…

Konoha Village is about to be reborn!

Chiyu rouses himself, dispatching the Uchiha throughout the village to summon all the major powers and clans for a grand meeting—to chart Konoha's future.

This includes: Hyūga Hiashi, Nara Shikaku, Akimichi Chōza, Yamanaka Inoichi, Aburame Shibi, Inuzuka Tsume, …and naturally Chiyu, Uchiha Fugaku, Hatake Kakashi, and others.

Chiyu calmly explains to them all that transpired overnight.

At once, the assembled clans reveal mixed, subtle expressions.

The Hyūga clan and the Ino-Shika-Chō trio had already tacitly cooperated with the Uchiha. They had quietly come to an understanding on the Kumo front lines.

For the other clans—Aburame, etc.—while they had no such arrangement, none dare oppose the new reality.

Chiyu's overwhelming authority quells all dissent.

His first official act is clear:

Openly put Sarutobi Hiruzen on trial!
