Konoha: The Absolute Justice of the Uchiha

Chapter 111 The "Lava Release: Great Fireball" that Illuminates Konoha! (5000 words)
The moment Uchiha Izumi's right arm, surging with molten lava, hurled a punch forward, its rapidly expanding arm transformed into an enormous, exaggeratedly large lava fist.

Especially in the eyes of the Shimura clan's ninjas, the terrifying size of that crimson magma fist was many times larger than all of their bodies combined.

It was as if a crimson furnace, bigger than a house, was pressing down on them relentlessly.

The intense sense of oppression and suffocation terrified them.

A terrifying thought arose in their minds—if Uchiha Ikezumi were to unleash this punch, the entire Shimura clan's encampment could be completely swallowed by magma! Everyone would die!
But it also aroused their will to survive, causing them to quickly form hand seals and unanimously use their best skills.

"Wind Release·Vacuum Jade!!!"

"Wind Release: Vacuum Connection Jade!!!"

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!!!"

"Wind escape..."

The use of a variety of Wind Release ninjutsu demonstrates that the Shimura clan possesses considerable skill and expertise in Wind Release.

The raging wind, sharp wind blades, and wind balls that pierced through the air collided with Uchiha Izumi's giant magma fist.

All of a sudden!
The magma fist was blasted into numerous exaggerated grooves and bottomless holes. When a huge wind ball hurtled towards it, the surface of the magma fist was like a pond that had been slammed into by a boulder, splashing out large amounts of magma.

However, they clearly overestimated themselves and underestimated Uchiha Ikezumi, who had purged countless villains from the ninja world during this period.

With a fist carrying the terrifying impact of a volcanic eruption, it shattered all the various wind-style ninjutsu the moment it came into contact with them!
On the contrary, the wind-style ninjutsu striking the giant magma fist caused the magma to be splashed everywhere, becoming a deadly threat.

A young member of the Shimura clan was unfortunately splashed onto his shoulder by a fist-sized lump of scorching red lava.

At that moment, he suddenly felt that he had lost control of his left arm.

He hurriedly turned his head and was immediately filled with horror.

All he could see was his left arm lying on the ground, and his shoulder looked as if it had been bitten off by lava. His entire left shoulder had been "wiped out" by the lava!
"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!!"

The excruciating pain was so intense that he couldn't help but scream out in agony.

The splashing lava landed on the Shimura clan's buildings, instantly igniting all flammable materials. In the blink of an eye, most of the Shimura clan's settlement was engulfed in flames.

The giant magma fist did not stop there!

Several members of the Shimura clan and a summoned beast were caught off guard and were swallowed up by the giant magma fist.

He didn't even have time to scream.

Shimura Shoya hurriedly dragged his aged body, along with the few remaining elite ninjas of the Shimura clan, and retreated hastily.

The giant fist of scorching magma finally stopped when it was less than a meter away from Shimura Shoya's nose.

But before they could even breathe a sigh of relief...

To their astonishment, the surface of the stopped magma fist suddenly glowed with an even more dazzling red magma light, as if something terrifying was about to erupt from within!
The giant magma fist did indeed "erupt," and it was comparable to a volcanic eruption! The entire giant magma fist burst open, transforming into countless magma projectiles that shot out in all directions!

Each magma bomb is larger than an adult!
boom! ! !
A lava projectile struck an open area within the Shimura clan's territory, instantly creating a crater several meters in diameter. The scorching lava continued to burn the ground.

boom! ! !
A lava bomb landed on a three-story house, blasting the entire house to its knees and engulfing it in flames.

boom! ! !
An elite ninja of the Shimura clan was hit head-on by a magma bullet, and his entire body was wiped out as if by an eraser; his fragile flesh and blood were directly vaporized by the magma.

boom! ! !
boom! ! !
Each magma bomb caused unimaginable and exaggerated destruction to the Shimura clan's stronghold, while also illuminating a large part of Konoha. Countless ninjas were alarmed by the commotion.

……

“It’s really too late…” Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was still in the Uchiha clan’s territory, looked at the magma projectiles shooting into the sky in the distance, his old face filled with deep helplessness and melancholy.

Hiruzen Sarutobi had witnessed Izumi Uchiha's Lava Release many times.

When he saw such a huge commotion, he realized that it was unlikely that any members of the Shimura clan would survive.

Oh, no...

If there were any good people in the Shimura clan whom Ikezumi considered to be, then perhaps one or two could be left alive.

The issue is……

Do the Shimura clan, who have been influenced by Danzo for so many years as Konoha's black glove, really have any innocent good people among them?

While feeling somewhat guilty, Hiruzen Sarutobi expressed considerable doubt.

The reason he felt guilty was because Danzo, this double agent, was someone he had tacitly approved of existing. The fact that the Shimura clan was so heavily influenced by Danzo was indeed somewhat related to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"...Izumi's Lava Release is truly astonishing." On the other side, Fugaku Uchiha also had a complicated expression. He suddenly remembered that Setsuna Uchiha had also been deeply involved in this matter.

Although Uchiha Setsuna said that he did not intend to harm Uchiha Ikezumi, but only unintentionally revealed some information that should not have been revealed, and even he was not sure of the authenticity of the information.

Whether the Shimura clan would use that information for any purpose was completely irrelevant to Uchiha Setsuna.

but……

In Chi Quan's eyes, is this kind of "sophistry" really useful?
When Uchiha Setsuna explained that he had only "accidentally leaked information," it just showed that he was trying to cover something up. He was probably just trying to make excuses for himself.

Fugaku's gaze was quite heavy.

As the head of the Uchiha clan, he might have the ability to stop Uchiha Setsuna, but he was not capable of stopping Uchiha Ikezumi.

after all……

Even the Hokage couldn't stop him.

……

"In such a large Uchiha clan, in such a large Konoha village, isn't there really no one willing to step forward and deal with that extreme brat?"

Uchiha Setsuna was also looking at the scene in the distance.

The massive lava bombs shooting into the sky resembled exploding fireworks. The scene, though dazzling and spectacular, sent chills down his spine, and cold sweat poured from his palms.

His inner world was not as calm as it appeared.

Uchiha Setsuna gritted his teeth; he already felt threatened.

Life seems to have slipped out of my control.

Because Uchiha Izumi has a "criminal record," and each of these "criminal records" shows that that extreme kid will not be given any leniency just because of his Uchiha clan bloodline.

"...Damn it!!!"

Uchiha Setsuna's old face finally couldn't hold back his expression anymore.

His subconscious told him that after the Shimura clan suffered a terrible misfortune, he would be targeted by that brat!

wrong……

To be precise, he had been targeted for a long time. The reason that kid hadn't made a move against him yet was probably because he had always been surrounded by many radical Uchiha ninjas.

The other party may simply not be sure they can take them down in one go, which is why they are not in such a hurry to make a move!

The thought flashed through his mind, and Uchiha Setsuna's expression became even uglier.

"So... I've long been a lamb to the slaughter in his eyes!"

Uchiha Setsuna almost ground his teeth to powder.

……

Meanwhile, at the residence of the Shimura clan.

Shimura Shoya, who had hurriedly dodged an incoming lava projectile, was trembling all over.

Even he himself couldn't tell whether his trembling was due to anger or fear.
Or perhaps both?

His cloudy eyes stared in horror at Uchiha Ikezumi, who was bathed in magma. At that moment, it was as if he saw the Nine-Tailed Fox who had caused the Nine-Tailed Fox's rampage in Konoha many years ago!

In his eyes, the destruction caused by Uchiha Izumi's Lava Release was no different from that of the Nine-Tailed Fox back then!
It's practically a humanoid tailed beast!

Watching helplessly as the Shimura clan's stronghold was destroyed in an instant, his eyes bloodshot as he glared at his clansmen perishing in the molten lava, Shimura Shoya breathed heavily in the acrid, sulfurous air, the scalding heat making his lungs burn. "Uchiha Ikezumi! I... will kill you, you villain who abuses your power under the guise of justice, for the sake of Konoha!"

Shimura Masaya's wrinkled old face was etched with a ferocious madness.

He ripped open his clothes, revealing mysterious curse marks painted on his skin.

"You will be buried with the Shimura clan!!!"

He roared as he dodged one magma bullet after another, rapidly approaching the direction where Uchiha Ikezumi was located.

"Ninja..."

"The Inner Four Symbols Sealing Technique!!!"

The sealing technique was activated in an instant. Shimura Shoya's skin was cut open with tiny gashes, and a large amount of blood gushed out from all parts of his body. The splattered blood spread around and drew a huge inner four-symbol sealing pattern on the ground.

Suddenly!

The sealing technique rapidly expanded into a massive sphere, trapping all matter within it within the "Inner Four Symbols Seal," which then pulled it into the Netherworld, sealing everything away!
When the eerie sphere disappeared, the only elder of the Shimura clan was nowhere to be found!

"Huh...huh...huh..."

A young member of the Shimura clan, who had lost an arm to splashing lava but miraculously survived, was now looking in horror at an area swallowed up by the "Inner Four Symbols Seal".

But it was clear that a large chunk of all the material in that area had vanished into thin air, and even much of the deadly, scalding lava had disappeared.

“Elder Shoya…” A junior member of the Shimura clan murmured, tears welling in his eyes, “He killed that evil Uchiha with his own life! Uchiha Ikezumi, finally…”

When he got to this point, he stopped talking abruptly, like a duck being choked.

His grief-stricken eyes were gradually filled with horror and disbelief.

Within sight—

Uchiha Izumi, with a figure resembling a demon from hell, slowly approached. The scorching heat of the magma baked the air, causing his figure to distort and ripple within sight.

Elder Jiang's desperate attempt to take everyone down with him was completely futile!
Uchiha Izumi was not successfully sealed at all!!!

How could this be?! Is this Uchiha demon invincible?!?
The younger member of the Shimura clan, clutching his shoulder and enduring the excruciating pain, was in a panic. He couldn't even control his legs, and the weakness brought on by fear made it impossible for him to support his upper body. He collapsed to the ground with a "thud".

As the Uchiha Ikezumi drew closer, the terrifying heat caused the hair on this young member of the Shimura clan to curl up.

He felt as if every inch of his skin had been splashed with hot water.

"Shimura Harujima, three years ago, killed three civilians in the Land of Fire in order to test the destructive power of a C-rank ninjutsu he created."

Uchiha Ikezumi, like a judge of hell crawling out of the underworld, pointed out the other party's sins in an extremely cold and chilling tone.

This also filled the younger generation of the Shimura clan, known as "Shimura Harujima," with horror and despair.

The last vestige of hope that remained in my mind vanished completely.

"Today, I am deeply involved in the plan to assassinate Uchiha Ikezumi."

"Level of crime: Red Name"

Shimura Harujima's eyes widened in horror as, before he could utter a single word, a massive, crimson magma surged toward him like a tsunami.

The lava instantly engulfed him and then rushed towards the Shimura clan's settlement, destroying all the few intact houses.

The entire Shimura clan's settlement was razed to the ground overnight, turning into a sea of ​​lava!

The glow of the lava illuminated the entire night sky, making it glow a brilliant red.

The Shimura family...

Exterminate the entire race!

……

When Hiruzen Sarutobi, Fugaku Uchiha, and the others rushed over, all they saw was a patch of still-burning lava, and the pungent smell in the air assaulted everyone's senses.

Even Koharu Utatane, Homura Mitokado, and the others who were waiting in the Hokage Building, wanting Hiruzen Sarutobi to go and demand an explanation from Izumi Uchiha, were now gathered outside the Shimura clan's residence.

Even ninjas from the Hyuga, Nara, and Inuzuka clans, who had nothing to do with these two matters, rushed over to check on the situation.

At this moment, all the Konoha ninjas who had come here fell silent without prior agreement.

They were all silently watching the "disappeared" Shimura clan's settlement.

The light from the lava illuminated every face with its unique expression.

Nara Shikaku, hands in his pockets and a toothpick dangling from his mouth, was the first to break the deathly silence, speaking to Yamanaka Inoichi beside him: "Tonight, I've gained a deeper understanding of Uchiha Ikezumi's 'Absolute Justice.' Everything this man does is memorable. But are you so sure he won't wrong any innocent person?"

Yamanaka Inoichi slowly said, "Ikezumi will never kill an innocent person. Every corpse I have dealt with that he killed was a wicked villain. The memories in their minds are chilling just to recall them."

"What's more..."

Yamanaka Inoue paused, then asked in return, "Do you really think that there are any innocent people in a ninja clan like the Shimura clan?"

Nara Shikaku sighed, "That's true..."

……

"Hiruzen, what's going on..." Koharu Utatane forcibly suppressed the shock in her heart. With a stern face, she asked Hiruzen Sarutobi in front of her, "Judging from your reaction, you knew this would happen beforehand, didn't you?!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi silently stared at the corpse of a Shimura clan ninja lying on the ground not far away.

He stood silently for a long time before finally saying in a low voice, "They wanted to assassinate Ikezumi, so they planted a large number of explosive tags in the Uchiha clan's territory, which almost killed many innocent Uchiha civilians."

Upon hearing this, Koharu Tsurugi understood.

—The Shimura clan brought this upon themselves! And they only brought about a death in which no one can really speak up for them!
But Koharu Utatane couldn't help but nitpick, saying in a deep voice, "He could have just killed one mastermind as a warning to others! Wiping out an entire ninja clan... the impact is too terrible. Hiruzen, what are you going to tell the other ninja clans in the village about this?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi said, "Ninja clans without bloodline limits might indeed feel a sense of shared sorrow. But those ninja clans with bloodline limits..."

He paused, then didn't continue.

Koharu Utatane also realized that the secret of Danzo Shimura hunting and researching bloodline limits had already been made public, and as a result, the Shimura clan was alienated and wary of the bloodline limit ninja clans.

After witnessing the annihilation of the Shimura clan, members of the Uchiha, Hyuga, and Gekko clans, who possessed bloodline limits, were...

Perhaps they would be happy to see this?

At least, they won't have any objections to Uchiha Ikezumi's actions this time.

Koharu Utatane fell silent, but her resentment towards Ikezumi Uchiha hadn't subsided. Not only had one member of the Shimura clan died tonight, but two junior members of her Utatane clan had also been inexplicably killed by Ikezumi Uchiha!

On the other side.

With a complicated expression, Mitokado Homura asked, "Hiruzen, those people that Uchiha Ikezumi killed before annihilating the Shimura clan, including my cousin... did they do something to provoke Uchiha Ikezumi into going on a killing spree?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed and said, "Kakashi, you know more than I do. Why don't you tell them?"

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

Kakashi, with his dead fish eyes, said, "The dozen or so people that Uchiha Ikezumi killed this evening were all suspected of smuggling and selling large quantities of illegal drugs in Konoha. The bodies have been taken over by the Yamanaka clan, and the evidence will be found soon."

When Kakashi quickly brought up the "Yamano Clan," Koharu Utatane, who was about to retort, was immediately speechless.

Although she instinctively didn't believe that her own people would do such a thing.

But what if?!

What if the mountain clan really discovers something?
"He should arrest and interrogate the people first, and then punish them according to the laws of the Land of Fire, instead of resorting to his extreme and inhumane vigilante justice."

Xiaochun, who was switching dorms, stubbornly retorted.
