In the Prime Minister's Mansion of the King of Fire, Ming Jing and Jiraiya were sitting on the floor, with three side dishes and a bottle of wine between them. A month had passed since the Fourth Ninja War. After the Five Shadows reached a consensus, Ming Jing brought
The patrol officers left, allowing Naruto and others to properly say goodbye to the Hokages who had been reincarnated in the dirty land.
During this month, both Mingjing and Yuexi were busy, not only to appease the people, but also to restore order and production. It was not until these two days that they felt a little more relaxed. Unexpectedly, Jiraiya just had a day's rest.
Came to the door.
"Tsk! What a good wine!" Jiraiya took a sip and said with a satisfied look on his face.
"This is my treasure. Most people would be reluctant to take it out." Ming Jing said with a smile. He specially collected it when he first arrived in the royal capital. Unknowingly, eight years have passed.
"Then I'm going to have a few more drinks!" Jiraiya smiled and filled himself up.
"Drink less!" Ming Jing ate a peanut, looked at Jiraiya and asked, "Why did you come to me this time?"
"We are old friends. Can't we chat with you?" Jiraiya asked with a resentful look on his face.
"The things in Konoha Village are no less serious than mine in the Prime Minister's Mansion now! Can Tsunade let you out at this time...did you do something dirty again?" Ming Jing looked at Jiraiya with some suspicion, this guy is really capable of what he did.
A lot of that kind of thing! After all, I have a criminal record, so it’s not incomprehensible that I can’t change it for a while.
"Hey, hey, what's that look in your eyes? I'm an upright and good person, Jiraiya! Okay, okay, okay! There are indeed some things I need to confirm with you." Looking at Ming Jing's increasingly suspicious eyes, Jiraiya had no choice but to say
Said with a smile.
"It's about that agreement, right?" Ming Jing then looked back and said calmly.
"Yes, cheap food, helping to build roads, sorting out teaching materials, providing ninjutsu support, and giving other countries too many benefits?" Jiraiya looked serious, and he looked at the mirror and asked.
"You think so too?" Ming Jing asked.
"I understand the price of food is to suppress the price of local food! The purpose of organizing teaching materials is to unify the minds of the next generation. But I don't understand road construction and ninjutsu support. Road construction is a big project, and ninjutsu support is even more important.
It will reveal the village's secrets." Jiraiya said frankly.
"Without these, why would people agree to the first two?" Ming Jing continued to ask rhetorically.
"That's what I say..." Jiraiya frowned slightly.
"If we build a road, the ownership of the road will be in our hands." Ming Jing reminded.
"But I remember, it's only twenty years!" Jiraiya said: "After twenty years, the ownership will be returned to them."
"Do you know how long it took for the canal we built to pay back its original cost?" Ming Jing suddenly asked.
"I don't know." Jiraiya said directly.
"We have already recovered our capital last year and are now generating income." Ming Jing said with a smile.
"It only took seven years for a canal to pay for itself?!" Jiraiya was surprised, and then he suddenly realized it. He couldn't help but smile and pointed and said: "You are planning to do this with the road you built, right?"
"why not?"
"Then I'm half relieved!" Jiraiya smiled and nodded.
"As for ninjutsu support, in my opinion, the basic ninjutsu of each village is almost the same. It can even be said that the ninjutsu of A level and below is similar. The real core is the secret technique and the blood inheritance limit. But these two
, is not among them." Ming Jing explained in a gentle tone.
"You are an empty-handed wolf!" Jiraiya came back to his senses and looked at the mirror with strange eyes.
"Are you ready for the things I asked you to prepare?" Ming Jing didn't care about Jiraiya's eyes and directly changed the topic.
"The Konoha Village Court has been built and is waiting for you to pass by." Jiraiya nodded and said.
"Okay, let's go! Let's go meet someone." Ming Jing nodded, stood up and left.
Jiraiya quickly took a sip of the wine in his glass, then followed him and asked curiously: "Who are we meeting?"
"You'll know when you see him." Ming Jing quickened his pace, and half an hour later, he arrived at the No. 1 Prison in the Royal Capital.
Ming Jing handed over his waistband, and the prison guard confirmed his identity and then let him go. Jiraiya remained silent and followed quietly. Ming Jing refused to be led by the warden, so he led Jiraiya slowly down the stairs.
Jiraiya counted, and the two of them actually went down eight floors and reached the ninth floor at the bottom.
When he walked to an iron door, Ming Jing stopped, then took out the key and opened the iron door.
"He's actually alive?!" Jiraiya subconsciously widened his eyes when he saw the person tied up with iron chains. Then, he asked curiously: "Uchiha Obito...his eyes are divine. You guys?"
How did you trap him?"
"Of course it's a barrier, I laid it myself." Ming Jing snapped his fingers, and a layer of fluorescence lit up around Obito, like a box, containing him inside.
"You're here!" Obito looked up at the mirror with calm eyes. He looked at Jiraiya and seemed to have guessed something.
"Your sins cannot be washed away. You should be able to guess the purpose of keeping you alive." Ming Jing looked at Obito coldly and said.
"I didn't know before, but I guessed it now." Obito smiled and said in a calm tone: "I can save one person with my life, so it's worth it."
"Next, we will take you back to Konoha, which can be regarded as our last mercy to you." Ming Jing untied the iron chain and said calmly.
"Thank you!" Obito was silent for a moment and thanked him gratefully.
…
Five days later, the newly built court in Konoha Village was filled with villagers and idle ninjas. Ming Jing was sitting in the main seat, with Tsunade, the Fifth Hokage, sitting on her left, and Masamune Yagyu sitting on her right.
, are the high-level combat power of Konoha Village, and also represent the Fire Country Court, Konoha Village and the Criminal Department respectively. After the end of the Fourth Ninja World War, Ming Jing established six divisions. Masamune Yagyu was promoted to
Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, in charge of laws.
"Quiet!" Ming Jing looked at the time, picked up the gavel and patted it. After stopping everyone's discussion, he said: "Here today, it is led by the Prime Minister's Mansion, with the Hokage of Konoha Village and the Minister of Punishment as the
Auxiliary, the three parties will jointly try the cases committed by the rebels in recent years."
"First, Orochimaru." After Ming Jing read the name, Orochimaru was escorted in by Jiraiya himself.
"Orochimaru, one of the Sannin of Konoha, the favorite disciple of the Third Hokage, was once a candidate for the Fourth Hokage. Due to his private research on forbidden arts, he desecrated the undead and was expelled after being discovered by the Third Hokage. Since then, he has held a grudge and spent many years
Later, the Konoha Collapse Plan was launched, which directly led to the death of the Third Hokage. Are the above statements true?"
"Yes." Orochimaru licked the corner of his mouth and admitted readily.
"As an S-class rebellious ninja, Orochimaru committed a crime that must be forgiven. After the Fourth Ninja War, he corrected his evil ways and helped the ninja coalition resist the Ten-Tails. He also obtained the forgiveness of the Sandaime Hokage himself and offset the blame.
But the death penalty cannot be escaped. This court announced that from now on, Orochimaru will undergo ten years of labor reform. After ten years, he will receive double surveillance from Konoha Village and the Police Department until his death. Orochimaru
, do you have any comments?"
"No." Uncle Snake shook his head. It's only been ten years and he has a lot of time.
