Konoha: The Absolute Justice of the Uchiha

Chapter 137 Tsunade's Killing Intent!
Hokage Building.

Hiruzen Sarutobi had no interest in handling his official duties that day. He was smoking a long pipe, his brows furrowed as he puffed out clouds of smoke, as if only the pungent smell of tobacco could calm him down.

He also arranged for the group of envoys from Amegakure to be received elsewhere by Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu.

After all, Hiruzen Sarutobi knew that given his current mood, it wasn't a good idea for him to contact the Rain Ninja envoy.

I need some private space to calm down.

Just then, a ninja dog jumped onto the windowsill from outside, immediately alerting the ANBU guards inside the Hokage's office.

Before the ninja dog Pakkuma could speak, three sharp ninja swords were suddenly placed against its small head.

Three ANBU ninjas wearing ANBU masks were staring at it with scrutinizing eyes, as if if it made any unusual move, its dog head would instantly roll to the ground.

The ninja dog Pakkun was almost scared to death, but fortunately Hiruzen Sarutobi noticed it and said, "You're Kakashi's ninja dog, right? Is there any special information you want to pass on to me?"

Upon hearing this, Pakkun the ninja dog felt as if the ninja sword pressed against his head had moved a little further away, at least not so close to his fur, allowing him to breathe a sigh of relief.

It swallowed hard and said urgently, "Kakashi sent me to tell you about the situation at the Ninja Academy."

Parker repeated what Kakashi had told him earlier.

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi froze on the spot.

He opened his mouth, as if to say something, but couldn't utter a single word.

Hiruzen Sarutobi had considered many possibilities.

—There are spies from other ninja villages behind this, trying to influence his mindset as the Hokage of Konoha in this way, causing him to lose his composure and reveal weaknesses he shouldn't have.

—There might have been a problem with Ikezumi's Mangekyou Sharingan genjutsu, causing the child to recall dark memories.

—Perhaps the deceased was not Sarutobi Sakurako, but a mistaken identity.

He had considered all sorts of outrageous possibilities.

But I never expected...

Hiruzen Sarutobi fell into a deathly silence.

In his stereotype... these three Sarutobi clan juniors were supposed to be cute, lively, and the future pillars of the Sarutobi clan.
He should have been a ninja academy teacher, training more outstanding ninjas for Konoha.

All of this seems rather absurd.

It's really hard to accept that Hiruzen Sarutobi would be involved.

"How could this be..." Hiruzen Sarutobi was bewildered. He held the position of clan head in the Sarutobi clan, and also served as the honorary principal of the Ninja Academy. Yet, problems had arisen in both places. Could it be inextricably linked to his position as Hokage? He found it difficult to convince himself that none of this was related to him.

Taking a deep breath, Hiruzen Sarutobi cleared the confusion from his eyes and said to his ninja dog Pakkun with a complicated expression, "I understand. Go back and tell Kakashi..."

"Just say..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly felt conflicted. He clenched his fist and then relaxed it, placing the long pipe on the table and gazing at the wisp of smoke slowly rising from it.

After an unknown period of silence, Hiruzen Sarutobi finally spoke, "Just tell him... not to interfere, and let Izumi handle it."

After saying this, Hiruzen Sarutobi seemed to have lost half his strength, and sat weakly in his office chair.

He was truly lost.

……

Inside the ninja school.

"Sarutobi Teruji." Under the watchful eyes of the ninja academy teachers, swallowing hard, and amidst the painful wails of the brats at his feet, Uchiha Ikezumi casually called out a name, which immediately silenced the screams of the Sarutobi clan juniors beneath him.

Because his name is Sarutobi Teruji!
Sarutobi Teruji's eyes widened in shock and despair, as if the pain in his face and hands had overshadowed his expression.

I'm still a child myself!
This Uchiha ninja shouldn't do anything to me, right?

The other party stabbed his palm with a ninja sword and crushed half of his face with their foot. That must have been the limit of punishment, right?

But then Uchiha Izumi coldly and bluntly said, "Your heinous acts have reached an unforgivable level!"

"Wait……"

Sarutobi Teruji's eyes were filled with endless terror, but as soon as he uttered a word, he suddenly felt a foot pressing down on his head, unleashing extremely terrifying power.

He seemed to hear a cracking sound from his facial bones, and the excruciating pain in his head made his facial expression extremely distorted.

He felt like his head was about to explode!
Bang! ! !
The expressions of the ninja academy teachers were now utterly horrified; they stared dumbfounded at the scene before them. Logically, as ninja instructors, they should have stopped it from happening—after all, this was a ninja academy!

But none of them dared to take a step forward.

The three Uchiha police ninjas also twitched slightly. Clearly, even as members of the Uchiha clan, they felt that Uchiha Izumi's behavior was a bit too extreme.

If it were the three of them doing the job, they would at least have to take these three kids to the police force before dealing with them.

However, the three of them were much calmer than the teachers at the Ninja Academy.

Tsunade closed her eyes slightly at that moment; she did not stop it from happening. She didn't know if she was suppressing her fear of blood or her killing intent.

If my personality is a little extreme...

I am afraid.

They might do the same things as that brat Uchiha Izumi.

"Lady Tsunade..." Shizune swallowed hard, then looked at Tsunade with great concern.

"……fine."

Tsunade shook her head.

Uchiha Ikezumi slowly moved his right leg, which was stained with blood at the cuff. He glanced coldly at a trembling junior member of the Sarutobi clan, and every word he spoke was like the King of Hell calling his men, sending chills down one's spine: "Sarutobi Katsuji."

Before the young member of the Sarutobi clan named "Sarutobi Katsuji" could react, Uchiha Ikezumi had already passed by him and continued, "Sarutobi Kuranosuke. His crimes are heinous and unforgivable."

"My father is a Konoha Jonin from the Sarutobi clan! You can't..."

Poof——

Sarutobi Kuranosuke only saw a flash of light before his eyes, and his words came to an abrupt halt at that moment.

Sarutobi Katsuji: "!!!"

Startled by Sarutobi Katsuji passing by, she was also completely bewildered.

Kiji Sarutobi and Kuranosuke Sarutobi are both dead, so how am I still alive? This terrifying man even passed by me; don't my crimes warrant death? But he clearly said I was also sentenced to death, and to be executed immediately…

Just as Sarutobi Katsuji was stunned, he suddenly felt his vision blurring, the scenery shifting, and his head spinning.

Under the gaze of everyone.

A barely noticeable line of blood slowly appeared on his neck.

Until the bloodline became thicker and thicker, until blood slowly flowed down the neck, until the head uncontrollably shifted and slid off.

Sarutobi Katsuji suddenly realized.

original……

He had already been killed.

……

Meanwhile, on a large tree not far away.

"Don't interfere..." Kakashi's lips twitched, because his ninja dog Pakkun had already relayed the Hokage's order. However, even without the Third Hokage's order, he couldn't possibly interfere.

To obstruct Uchiha Ikezumi from carrying out justice is tantamount to betting your life on the words "the other party won't kill you."

Many people have tried this, but they all lost.

Kakashi doesn't believe he has any extraordinary luck in gambling.

"and."

Kakashi murmured, "Hokage-sama, your order is too late. Uchiha Izumi has already taken care of everything. Perhaps the Sarutobi clan will have to hold another funeral, and... they might have to bury four brats at once."

Kakashi, hidden in the tree, watched the horrifying scene unfold before him.

He muttered helplessly, "Couldn't Uchiha Izumi have found a secluded place to do it? Even taking him back to the police force would have been fine. Isn't doing it at the ninja academy going to scare the kids?"

but.

Perhaps Uchiha Ikezumi had his own considerations; maybe he just wanted to scare those kids.

This is also a warning to "make an example of someone".

Kakashi thought that many of the ninja school kids peeking outside must have been frightened by Uchiha Ikezumi.

And in fact.

is also like this.

……

"Gudong-"

Sakura Haruno's face was so pale that she needed to hold onto the wall to stand.

She just watched as a head was brutally crushed by someone's foot.

The other two heads were chopped off!

She then saw three headless corpses, gushing blood like three fountains. The crimson blood filled Sakura Haruno's vision, making her weak and limp with fear.

Although they were quite far apart, she was still young and her eyesight hadn't deteriorated, so she could still clearly see two heads, their expressions frozen in terror and despair, staring blankly in her direction.

"Murder... Iruka-sensei!" Sakura Haruno said, tears welling in her eyes and her face pale. "Murder outside... Three people are dead, and... they were all students from the Ninja Academy..."

"I told you, don't look! And don't pay any attention to it!"

Iruka already regretted not asking the Hokage to install thick curtains in every classroom.

"Naruto!"

"Sasuke!"

"You two, stop standing on tiptoe and peeking out! I made you stand as punishment, not watch what's happening outside. And... Shikamaru, Kiba, Choji! What are you doing? Get back to your seats!"

With a dark expression, Iruka wished he could drag every student back to their seats and chain them up.

Because he was genuinely worried that these little ones would be affected by something happening outside.

"Iruka-sensei, you are our teacher, and Ikezumi-sensei is also our teacher. Is it alright for Sasuke and me to just watch Ikezumi-sensei uphold justice?"

Naruto grumbled in dissatisfaction.

"Upholding justice is not something you can get involved in at your age! What you need to do at this stage is to properly shape your values ​​and morality! You need to be at least a little educated so that you can understand what justice is!"

Iruka stressed.

……

"Is this the absolute justice of the 'Molten Beast'?"

Hidden far behind Uchiha Izumi and Mitarashi Anko, Biwa Juzo witnessed Izumi and Anko carrying out justice in Konoha.

He watched helplessly as the Uchiha girl named "Uchiha Izumi" tortured someone in broad daylight.

Even Juzo Biwa's eyelids twitched at the sight of such bloody and ruthless methods.

When he thought the Uchiha girl might get into trouble because of her impulsive behavior, he found that the surrounding Konoha residents were only somewhat frightened by the scene, but did not react in any other way, nor did they run to notify the Anbu ninja. It gave Biwa Juzo the feeling that they were already used to "public torture" happening.

This made Pipa Juzo suddenly feel a little dazed.

Where did he come from? Is this still Konoha? This feels like Kirigakure, where the Blood Mist policy is being enforced.
Perhaps this is actually Kirigakure, and I'm just under a genjutsu, thinking this is Konoha, right?

hiss……

Are all Konoha ninjas this bloodthirsty?

Just as Pipa Juzo was in a daze, he suddenly saw two female ninjas in front of him stop. When he realized something was wrong, the two women had already turned their heads and looked at him.

"Ah... I've been discovered... But I never intended to hide myself, so it's normal that I've been discovered."

Pipa Juzo met his gaze without fear.

"You've been following us all this way, haven't you?" Mitarashi Anko stared at Biwa Juzo from a distance of more than ten meters away. "With such strange attire, you don't look like a ninja from Konoha Village at all. Just who are you?!"

With a blank expression, Juzo Biwa said, "It seems that because I haven't been active in the ninja world for a while, you can't even remember who I am after seeing this sword."

"Knife……"

Aoko's gaze fell on the guillotine that Juzo Biwa was carrying on his slung.

Although most of the blade of the Executioner's Blade was blocked by the figure of Hiwa Juzo.

But the sight of a sliver of the blade still startled her for a moment.

This immediately reminded Hongdou of something, making her already serious expression even more vigilant. Before she knew it, one of her hands had pulled out a kunai.

She first warned Izumi beside her, "Be careful, this guy is very likely one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist! If I remember correctly, he is Juzo Biwa, the wielder of the Executioner's Blade. He is a very dangerous and ruthless guy!"

"The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist!" Izumi was slightly surprised, clearly having heard of this name before: "What's this guy doing in Konoha?"

Although he was somewhat puzzled, Quan was also on high alert.

She had already drawn the ninja sword from her waist, and you could see that there were still some bloodstains on the blade that she couldn't wipe off, because she had used this ninja sword to torture villains.

"Hey, don't get the wrong idea." Instead of drawing his Executioner's Blade, Juzo Biwa stood still and said, "I am no longer a ninja of Kirigakure. I am now a member of Amegakure, and I've come to Konoha as an envoy of Amegakure. You Konoha ninjas wouldn't dare attack an envoy, would you?"

“It’s not like I haven’t tried before,” Izumi said. “Senior Izumi has even killed an envoy sent by the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, let alone you, who are just a rogue ninja from Kirigakure sent by Amegakure?”

Pipa Juzo: "..."

I think I've heard some incredible information.

Uchiha Ikezumi... the envoy who killed a daimyo? Is this guy insane? Is it even possible to kill someone like that?

How can he be even more bloodthirsty than the Blood Mist Ninja?!
"Hey, hey, hey, I mean no harm." Juzo Biwa didn't want to clash with the Konoha ninjas. He was keeping in mind his real mission in Konoha: "If I were an enemy, would I be standing here so openly?"

"Moreover, there are definitely many ANBU ninjas in Konoha watching me from the shadows. If I were an enemy, they would have taken me down long ago."

Pipa Juzo paused for a moment, then asked, "You two are subordinates of Uchiha Ikezumi, right?"

Quan nodded slightly: "Yes."

Pipa Juzo laughed and said, "I'm very interested in your boss, or rather... I'm very interested in his 'absolute justice.' You wouldn't mind introducing me to him, would you?"

Quan said, "I mind it very much."

Pipa Juzo: "..."

Quan's voice was clear and cold as she said, "Your tone doesn't sound like someone who is truly interested in absolute justice. You're just using justice as an excuse to achieve some other goal."

"Am I right? One of the Akatsuki members, Juzo Biwa!"

Uchiha Izumi was staring intently at the white square above Biwa Juzo's head; she saw the evil of his future.

We also obtained some of the other side's true intelligence!
Pipa Juzo: "!!!"

……

Inside the Ninja Academy.

"Izumi Island Maple."

Uchiha Izumi did not shake off the bloodstains on his sword. He turned around expressionlessly, his murderous gaze falling on Izumishima Fuya, who was terrified and slumped on the ground.

The ninja academy teacher was already so remorseful that she was crying uncontrollably, repeatedly sobbing, "I didn't mean to, I really didn't mean to, I didn't know she would do that, I just said something I shouldn't have... How could I know she would do what I said? I didn't know..."

"I...I didn't kill her with my own hands..."

With red eyes, Izumijima Fuya looked at her several ninja academy teachers and colleagues around her, pleading for help: "I didn't kill her, she committed suicide! According to the laws of the Land of Fire, I'm not a murderer, at most I'm just an instigator... You all agree, right?"

Several ninja academy teachers did not respond at this inappropriate time.

They also quietly took a few steps back, putting some distance between themselves and the woman.

"Instigation... instigation is definitely not a capital offense. I should be imprisoned, not executed, right? You, you all, say something... isn't that right!?"

"Why are you backing away? You..."

Just as Izumijima Fuya was speaking in a hoarse voice, filled with despair.

A figure suddenly stepped past Uchiha Ikezumi, who was walking towards her, and stood directly in front of her, causing Uchiha Ikezumi to pause slightly and look at the beautiful back in front of her.

"Tsunade-sama?!"

Shizune was dumbfounded, because the figure was none other than Tsunade!

"Kid..."

Tsunade's tone was very low at this moment: "Let me do something first."

She then said to Izumijima Fuya, "You, stand up."

Izumijima Kaede was taken aback.

She recognized Tsunade—one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, the legendary female ninja! Could it be… could it be… that Lady Tsunade had come to save her? She must also believe that her actions were absolutely not worthy of death!
That must be it!

Izumijima Fuya, who had been on the verge of despair and collapse, suddenly burst into tears of joy. A surge of strength, seemingly from nowhere, propelled her to her feet. Just as she was about to say something with immense gratitude, she was interrupted by Tsunade's expressionless face.

"really……"

Tsunade had already opened her eyes, because she couldn't see the blood from this angle.

Her face was filled with disgust: "If you truly felt remorse for that poor child Sarutobi Sakurako's suicide, you would never show such an expression without any sense of guilt. The regret you showed before was only because you realized that your actions might lead to your death."

"You are simply afraid of dying." Tsunade said, emphasizing each word as she finished.

Every word was forced out from between his teeth.

"you……"

"He's hopeless!!!"

The disgust and anger on Tsunade's face stunned Izumijima Fuya, as this was completely different from the 'script' she had envisioned.

A sudden, slight "crackling" sound from the ground made Izumijima Fuya almost instinctively shift her gaze downwards.

She saw that the ground had cracked.

At that very moment, Izumijima Fuya's eyes widened suddenly, and blood vessels climbed wildly into her already red eyes. Her beautiful face became extremely ferocious and distorted at this moment, and an indescribable look of pain appeared on her face.

The terrifying force poured out without reservation from the fist, causing Izumijima Fuya's chest to collapse rapidly in front of the naked eye, and the sound of his bones cracking echoed incessantly.

The shockwave caused by the terrifying force tore her upper body clothing into shreds.

The scene that could have exposed her skin lasted for less than 0.001 seconds.

Her chest, which had collapsed in front of her, burst open!
A torrent of blood, bone fragments, shattered internal organs, and bits of flesh gushed out from the gaping wound in his chest. He felt as if he'd been struck head-on by a massive boulder; blood gushed from all seven orifices as he was sent flying backward uncontrollably!

boom! ! !
She flew backwards and crashed into a tree as big as a bowl, breaking it in half.

boom! ! !
They crashed through another iron fence at the ninja academy.

boom! ! !
He crashed into the wall of a building, his entire body embedded in the wall, his limbs and head drooping limply, blood staining half the wall red.

Apart from Uchiha Ikezumi, everyone present was stunned.

"Is this Tsunade, one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha?" One of the three police officers' eyes flashed with horror. He murmured in a low voice, "Even with the dynamic vision of the three-tomoe Sharingan, it's a bit difficult to see her movements clearly."

"I heard that Tsunade, one of the Legendary Sannin, is skilled in superhuman strength and taijutsu." A police ninja next to her glanced at the shattered ground beneath Tsunade's feet and said, "She must have held back. Otherwise, with her superhuman strength, she would have shattered a person into pieces."

Another police ninja said, "Hey, shouldn't the focus be on why she suddenly attacked?"

"and……"

He narrowed his eyes: "This is definitely a deadly attack. That female teacher from the ninja academy is definitely not going to survive. As expected of one of the Legendary Sannin, the killing intent she just unleashed startled even me."

Shizune stared blankly at Tsunade's retreating figure: "...Lady Tsunade?"

"call……"

"call……"

Tsunade stared at her blood-soaked arm, her pupils trembling.

The splattered blood had even covered half of her body, leaving her covered in crimson bloodstains.

This punch was clearly not even a warm-up for her, one of the three powerful Sannin of Konoha.

The fear caused by hemophobia made her gasp for breath.

Layers of sweat seeped from her fair skin, and she couldn't tell if the damp feeling on her body was sweat or blood.
Just as Tsunade was about to collapse due to weakness in her limbs.

As Shizune cried out in surprise and dropped Tonton to rush over, a hand suddenly caught Tsunade from behind, giving her some support as she slumped backward.

With this support, Tsunade managed to keep her balance.

"You don't need to get involved."

Uchiha Ikezumi said indifferently, "There's no need to force yourself like this. Executing villains is an absolute duty and responsibility of justice."

"Stop your nonsense, brat! Don't underestimate my magnanimity!"

Tsunade tried to take a few steps, but found that she couldn't move at all, so she had to press down on Uchiha Izumi's shoulder for support.

Her voice trembled uncontrollably; clearly, what she had just said was just stubbornness.

Tsunade was utterly bewildered: "That child was already so pitiful... how could anyone be so psychologically twisted as to bully such a child? Has the moral compass of the ninja world really become so morbidly distorted?"

Before anyone could say anything, she exhaled heavily, her face pale, and looked up at Uchiha Ikezumi.

"Kid, if your absolute justice can really make this ninja world a better place, if it can reduce the number of villains, if it can correct everyone's thinking."

"call……"

"You shouldn't go it alone. You should find people who share your ideals and those who are willing to support you. Because by yourself, just cleaning up the evil in Konoha already forces you to run around every day, let alone the entire ninja world?"

“Those people also harbor dreams of changing the ninja world. Kid, you should pass on your thoughts and ideals to them. You should lead them in upholding absolute justice.”

As Tsunade spoke, her trembling voice finally eased a little: "One spring, one red bean, and one you are not enough."

"You can include me then."
