Konoha: The Absolute Justice of the Uchiha

Chapter 150 Overcorrection is sometimes necessary! "Hiashi! Save me!"

Neji Hyuga's words made Jinsuke Hyuga and the main branch's special Jonin's expressions turn extremely ugly.

Who would have thought that the person who dragged Uchiha Ikezumi into this mess was actually a junior member of the Hyuga clan studying at the Ninja Academy?

That brat Neji Hyuga speaks so grandly on the surface, as if he's on some moral high ground.

However, they believed that Neji harbored extreme hatred and resentment towards the main family because of his father's incident.

That's why they took such actions to retaliate against the Hyuga main family.

'That ungrateful wretch who's always siding with outsiders! Has he forgotten his own name?!'

How exactly did Hizashi teach him before he died?

'If he can betray the main clan today, he can betray Konoha tomorrow!'

After cursing under his breath, Hyuga Jinsuke warily eyed the expressionless Uchiha Ikezumi. His already somewhat hesitant and fearful state intensified, and cold sweat beaded on his wrinkled face.

Driven by a strong will to survive, he preemptively addressed Uchiha Ikezumi, saying, "Uchiha Ikezumi, are you going to listen to the nonsense of a brat who hasn't even graduated from the Ninja Academy? Your eyes, which can see through the evil in others, must clearly see that I have no sins on me, right?"

Hyuga Jinsuke said repeatedly, "The branch family elder Hyuga Yokogari, who died last night, was already very old and suffered from a hidden illness. Our Hyuga clan has also investigated the main cause of his death."

"He died almost certainly from an internal disease!"

"he……"

Before Hyuga Jinsuke could say anything more, Uchiha Ikezumi's cold voice abruptly interrupted him: "Hyuga Jinsuke, fifty-seven years ago, was suspected of raping and murdering a female member of the Hyuga branch family, and also killing her husband. After dismembering their bodies, he threw them into the river for the fish to eat."

The cold tone that revealed the evils of the past struck Hyuga Jinsuke like a thunderbolt.

He suddenly remembered that he seemed to have actually done something like that back then.

At that time, Konoha Village had not yet been established, and the entire ninja world was in chaos and disorder. My behavior was nothing at the time, and it could not even be considered morally corrupt.

"Uchiha Izumi, that's because the times are different! Morality and justice also depend on the era!"

Hyuga Jinsuke shouted anxiously, "Besides, apart from that incident, I have never done anything evil since then. I have always been working hard for the benefit of the Hyuga clan and Konoha!"

Little did he know that every word he said went in one ear and out the other for Uchiha Ikezumi.

“Last night, you tortured the victim, Hyuga Yokogari, with the Caged Bird Seal. Despite Hyuga Yokogari’s desperate pleas that he no longer dared to research how to break the Caged Bird Seal, you did not stop activating the Caged Bird Seal technique and tortured him for half an hour.”

Uchiha Ikezumi's gaze towards Hyuga Jinsuke was devoid of any emotion.

It didn't feel like looking at a living person; it felt like looking at an inanimate object.

His words also made the victim's grandson's eyes widen.

The young Hyuga branch family member was staring at the utterly shocked Hyuga Jinsuke with an incredulous look.

"turn out to be……"

He muttered, "You tormented my grandfather for a full half hour."

Hyuga Jinsuke's back was already soaked with cold sweat. He tried to argue, "How do I know if he was lying to me? Besides, ninjas are physically much stronger than ordinary people. Even if he's old, he can withstand half an hour of the Caged Bird Curse Seal punishment! After all, if he couldn't withstand it, he would have died during the process!"

half an hour...

Can you handle it?

Hyuga Neji suddenly felt something was utterly absurd. Back then, when Hyuga Hiashi triggered his father's Caged Bird Seal, his father had endured immense pain in just a minute, his entire body drenched in fine sweat.

Neji couldn't even imagine how much worse it was to be trapped in the Caged Bird Seal for half an hour!
This has absolutely exceeded the scope of punishment for violating family rules!

This is deliberate torture!
This shows that the main family is arrogant and doesn't regard the lives of the branch family members as human lives!

Uchiha Ikezumi shattered Hyuga Jinsuke's defense, giving a final assessment of his actions: "Half an hour later, you ended the jutsu. However, the half-hour of excruciating pain caused Hyuga Yokogari's old ailment to relapse, leading to his sudden death from a myocardial infarction. Your actions have plunged you into the abyss of sin."

Hinata Jinsuke's pupils twitched slightly.

"[Absolute Justice] has rendered its final judgment on your two heinous acts: a life for a life!"

Hyuga Jinsuke trembled all over.

At this moment, his old and frail body burst forth with the last potential of his life. He pushed aside the special Jonin of the main clan who was blocking his way and ran towards the Hyuga clan's camp behind him without hesitation.

"Help me! Help this old man!!!"

"Rizu! Clan Chief!!!"

"Help me, please!!!"

Hyuga Jinsuke's shrill screams, filled with fear and despair, quickly alerted many members of the Hyuga clan in their settlement.

The branch family ninjas were alarmed and rushed out to see what was happening. They discovered that the person screaming for help was none other than Hyuga Jinsuke!

Some of the main clan ninjas who had been alerted hurriedly stepped forward and kindly inquired, "Elder Renfu, what's wrong?"

As the clan leader, Hiashi Hyuga did not hesitate to leave the mansion.

"Senior Renfu..."

Just as Hiashi Hyuga frowned, about to go up and question why they weren't leaving yet... he suddenly saw several people walk straight into the Hyuga clan's territory.

Hijiri was taken aback.

His footwork and the words he was about to utter all stopped at that moment.

"Chiquan..."

"Hiashi! He said I'll pay with my life!" The moment Hyuga Jinsuke saw Hyuga Hiashi, it was as if he had seen a savior. He rushed towards Hiashi, completely ignoring the sudden tension on Hiashi's face.

"Hiashi! That brat Hyuga Neji is an ingrate of the Hyuga clan! He betrayed our main clan!"

"Hiashi! Uchiha Ikezumi wants to..."

Just as Hinata Jinsuke finished speaking, he suddenly felt the ground beneath his feet tremble slightly, as if something strange was about to burst forth from the earth.

Just as he looked down, several tree roots suddenly burst out of the ground and quickly wrapped around his legs.

"This is……"

Hiashi's pupils contracted slightly as he was less than ten meters away from Hyuga Jinsuke. He immediately activated his Byakugan and saw the only person whose chakra was fluctuating abnormally at this moment: Uchiha Ikezumi!
Suddenly, the tree roots that had been wrapped around Hyuga Jinsuke began to climb up to his neck at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In less than a breath, the thick, python-like tree roots completely enveloped Hyuga Jinsuke.

"Hiashi... save..."

Hinata Jinsuke's desperate, labored breathing abruptly stopped.

All the Hyuga clan members heard was a muffled "bang"!
The thick tree roots tightened rapidly, completely crushing Hyuga Jinsuke's body from the neck down! It was a physical explosion! Splattered blood and flesh rained down, with many drops landing on Hyuga Hiashi's kimono.

Thick tree roots, stained with scarlet blood and covered with bits of flesh, stood in the open space of the Hyuga clan's territory.

This creates a bloody, bizarre, and chilling "architectural spectacle."

The intact, large head rolled down and tumbled several times on the ground. Then, the old face, frozen with despair and pain, was stained crimson with blood.

The entire Hyuga clan compound fell silent.

All that remained was the sound of blood dripping from the thick tree roots.

……

"Wood Release..." Kakashi, who had secretly sneaked into the Hyuga clan's territory at some point, couldn't help but widen his dead fish eyes.

Kakashi was certain that he had not fallen under any genjutsu; he had absolutely witnessed Uchiha Izumi using Wood Release.

Besides the Sharingan and Lava Release, is there also the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai?
"This means he possesses three special bloodline limits, right?"

"And they are all extremely powerful bloodline limits!"

Kakashi was slightly taken aback. In his memory, Uchiha Izumi had never used Wood Release before. At least, based on what he had witnessed, this was definitely the first time he had seen it.

So here's the question: where did Uchiha Ike Izumi get his Wood Release bloodline limit?
This question puzzled not only Kakashi.

Hiashi Hyuga was equally puzzled.

Hiashi Hyuga couldn't help but reach out and gently wipe his cheek, then lowered his eyes to stare at the bloodstains on his fingertips, then glanced at the head rolling on the ground, and finally fixed his gaze on the "wooden wonder" covered in blood and bits of flesh.

The shock I felt was something I could never shake off.

and.

What Hyuga Hiashi didn't expect was that Uchiha Ikezumi actually executed a highly respected elder of the Hyuga main family in front of him, the head of the Hyuga clan!
All of this was witnessed by the other members of the tribe!

Looking around, there must be at least twenty or thirty members of the tribe on the battlefield!

And even more clansmen are rushing here!

At this time.

Hiashi Hyuga also noticed that Izumi Uchiha was looking at him, and the other's indifferent gaze made him feel a little uneasy.

Before Hiashi Hyuga could think of a topic to break the silence, a sudden, sorrowful cry rang out.

"Father!!!"

Then, Hyuga Jinsuke's second son rushed over in a panic, but just as he was about to step onto the ground covered in blood and bits of flesh, he suddenly stopped. His face was blank as he stared at the enormous head on the ground.

Just a dozen minutes ago, my father had given me, the head of the main family, and my elder brother from the branch family some instructions.

But ten minutes later, all he saw was his father's head!
"Huh? There's an unexpected 'gain'!" But at this moment, Uchiha Izumi's somewhat indifferent voice suddenly rang out.

Hinata Jinsuke's second son had not yet reacted.

Hiashi Hyuga's pupils dilated in surprise.

……

at the same time.

The blade of the decapitation sword, gleaming with a cold light, was faintly reflected in the pupils of a Kirigakure ANBU ninja, growing larger and larger until, in the blink of an eye, it swept across the man's face.

Poof——

The heavy blade and sharp edge easily severed half of the head of the Hidden Mist Village ANBU ninja.

When Juzo Biwa looked to the other side, he saw that Izumi Uchiha's wood clone was already surrounded by two Kirigakure ANBU members.

Under the cover of layers of mist, two Hidden Mist ninjas, each wielding a different strange ninja tool, attacked the clone.

"Oops!"

Pipa Juzo could only vaguely see three figures. Just as he planted his Executioner's Blade in the ground and rapidly formed hand seals, trying to step forward to relieve the situation...

A scroll suddenly emerged from the left wrist of the wooden clone.

The scroll was instantly pulled open, and as the wooden clone leaped into the air, it slammed its hands down on the scroll.

"Fire Sealing Seal - Release!!!"

In an instant, the ninjutsu scroll that had been pulled open suddenly gushed out torrents of scorching magma. The extremely hot magma surged downwards like a tidal wave and swallowed the Hidden Mist Anbu member whole.

Before the opponent could even let out a scream, his body and the weapon in his hand were swallowed up and vaporized by the lava!

When lava splashes onto the ground, it can even ignite flames.

Another member of the Mist Shadow faction narrowed his eyes, the scorching heat of the air in front of him causing him to squint. He abruptly stopped and retreated rapidly, his face filled with horror.

"Water Release: Water Chaos Pearl Technique!!!" Biwa Juzo finally completed the hand seals. He opened his mouth and spat at the Kirigakure ANBU member. Several water droplets flew out like bullets and entered the opponent's body in the blink of an eye, splashing up flowers of blood.

With a muffled groan, the member of the Hidden Mist annihilation unit collapsed to his knees, spitting out a mouthful of blood that stained the inside of his mask.

Before he could even stand up in a panic, a heavy decapitation blade was already resting on his shoulder.

The cold words from Pipa Juzo also rang out from behind him.

"Did the Fourth Hokage send you to hunt me down?!"

The surrounding mist slowly rose, and the Hidden Mist ANBU ninja, kneeling on the ground, coughed heavily a few times. His mask fell off, revealing a bloodied face with a sinister grin.

"Cough cough cough..."

“Juzo Biwa! The Hidden Mist Village will never tolerate the existence of traitors! We didn’t expect our comrade to be so capable; it was a mistake on the part of our ANBU squad. But as long as we don’t return to the Hidden Mist Village in time, the Fourth Hokage will know that our operation has failed, and he will send out more ANBU squads.”

Poof——

Without hesitation, Juzo Biwa slit the man's throat. His taut face showed a hint of weariness and sorrow: "The village's Blood Mist policy has ultimately brainwashed some people. They have become inhuman killing tools."

After letting out a slow breath, Kizo looked at the wood clone: ​​"It seems that Izumi Uchiha has left many tricks up her sleeve."

The wooden clone jumped down from the tree, avoiding the lava on the ground.

It said, "You have already joined the Akatsuki organization, but the Fourth Hokage of Kirigakure is hunting you down. Rather than saying this is the Fourth Hokage's order, it is more accurate to say it is Obito Uchiha and his group's arrangement."

Juzo Biwa was taken aback, somewhat confused: "What does this have to do with Obito Uchiha?"

The wooden clone said, "Your Fourth Hokage was long ago controlled by Obito Uchiha using the power of his Mangekyou Sharingan. The reason why Kirigakure became the Blood Mist Village was also due to Obito Uchiha's machinations, using the Fourth Mizukage to reignite the Blood Mist policy."

"This secret squad is probably his backup plan to hunt you down. If he fails to kill you and you manage to escape, this backup squad will carry out the hunt."

Pipa Juzo: "!!!"

The Fourth Mizukage... was controlled by Obito Uchiha?

Was Obito Uchiha the culprit behind Kirigakure's Blood Mist policy?
He was stunned.

Juzo Biwa instinctively wanted to question the other party about their evidence. But then he thought that Izumi Uchiha knew the organization even better than he did; she simply didn't know the Akatsuki's exact location. Under these circumstances, it seemed reasonable that the other party knew the Fourth Mizukage was being controlled by Obito Uchiha.

He believed it.

Pipa Juzo gripped the hilt of his Executioner's Blade tightly, his face displaying a complexion that shifted between light and shadow, his eyes gleaming with a chilling killing intent.

"So the beginning of all the tragedies in Kirigakure was that cowardly bastard who hid his head and tail!"

Juzo's teeth were practically grinding against the loquat.

Over the years, he had come to understand all too well the immense pain the Blood Mist policy had inflicted on Kirigakure. Throughout Kirigakure, and indeed the entire Land of Water, the air was thick with the stench of blood, and the lives of its people were filled with unbearable suffering.

An education system where students in the same year must kill each other to graduate; a bloodline limit ninja clan that has been slaughtered to the point of near extinction; extremely oppressive ruling methods and a closed-door policy...

Let the Land of Water and the Hidden Mist Village become the darkest places in the ninja world.

Kirigakure's defection was precisely because he couldn't stand the village's Blood Mist policy. Even one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen couldn't tolerate it, which shows just how pathological he was.

He stared at a corpse at his feet, its neck spurting blood.

“Uchiha Ikezumi.” A hint of confusion flashed in Biwa Juzo’s eyes. He suddenly exhaled a breath of stale air and said, “You should know a little about why Kirigakure is called the Village of the Blood Mist, right?”

"If you were a ninja from Kirigakure, and you witnessed Kirigakure gradually descending into a bloody abyss... what would you, a ninja who believes in 'absolute justice,' do?"

Uchiha Izumi's wood clone said, "Are you asking me this question because you want my approval?"

Pipa Shizang was taken aback.

He always felt like the other person could read his mind; even though he hadn't said anything, the other person could tell what he was thinking.

"The real body would not make a choice as cowardly as you," the wooden clone said coldly. "Escape can only temporarily prevent you from seeing the evil of Kirigakure, but it cannot make the evil of Kirigakure disappear. Moreover, precisely because we believe in [absolute justice], the word 'escape' does not exist in the dictionary of justice."

"The main body will do everything in its power to wipe out all the evil in the Blood Mist Village. It will use the most absolute and ruthless methods to cleanse the entire Hidden Mist Village and even the entire Land of Water."

"Considering the extremely serious and extreme situation in Kirigakure, I will not hesitate to use even more drastic measures than in Konoha. Because in chaotic times, only severe punishments can correct the situation."

"To correct a wrong, one must go to extremes!"

Juzo Biwa fell silent. As one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, his decision to defect to the Blood Mist Village demonstrated a level of magnanimity beyond that of ordinary people.

Such magnanimity prevented him from being corrupted by the Blood Mist policy and from becoming a tool with only killing in his eyes.

But in Uchiha Izumi's eyes, his magnanimity was a form of cowardice, a form of escapism...

Pipa Juzo instinctively wanted to refute and defend himself.

But he found himself speechless.

"escape……"

"cowardly……"

"call!"

As Kikuchi slowly slung the Executioner's Blade over his shoulder, he looked at his wooden clone with a complex expression and said, "Perhaps one day you can take a trip to Kirigakure. If you want to change this ninja world with your sense of justice, then at least first clean up the darkest places in the ninja world with your 'absolute justice'."

"Hidden Mist Village...Land of Water..."

Pipa Juzo paused for a moment, then continued, “The situation there is ten or even a hundred times worse than in Konoha or the Land of Fire. You can’t imagine how twisted human nature can become. The entire Land of Water, from nobles and ninjas to commoners and beggars, is ‘sick,’ and they are terminally ill.”

He chuckled and said, "Uchiha Izumi, if I had met you sooner, perhaps I wouldn't have joined the Akatsuki organization. Because although you are also extreme, I can see that your extremes are only directed at the evils in the ninja world."

"Your concept of 'absolute justice'..."

“It’s more appealing to me.”

……

the other side.

Konoha Village.

Hiruzen Sarutobi learned from Yoshinobu Yamanaka that the Uchiha Ikezumi Asahikata clan had passed away.

"Yan, are you sure the Hyuga clan has handled this matter?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned and asked Homura Mitokado.

Mitokado Homura sighed, "The Hyuga main family thinks they've handled it well. Their approach was to have Hyuga Jinsuke retire from the Hyuga clan's power center and leave Konoha."

"Hiruzen, you should also know that when an old man in his eighties leaves Konoha, who knows if he will be able to return to Konoha alive in two or three years? After all, he could die at any time at that age."

"So, this is how they're going to handle it?" Hiruzen Sarutobi pondered. "The way the Hyuga main family is handling this might make the Hyuga branch family swallow their anger and prevent serious conflict within the Hyuga clan..."

"However, given Izumi's way of handling things, he would never approve of such a half-hearted approach. If he believes Hyuga Jinsuke is guilty, he will want Hyuga Jinsuke's life."

At this point, Hiruzen Sarutobi had a bit of a headache.

My understanding of Uchiha Izumi is probably deeper than my understanding of the Will of Fire!

"If Hyuga Jinsuke had taken my warning to heart, he would probably be at least tens of kilometers away from Konoha by now. Ikezumi would most likely have missed his target."

Mitokado Homura said expressionlessly, "If Izumi chases after Konoha because of this, then Konoha can take this opportunity to catch its breath."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned.

……

“Hyuga Kenjiro.” Uchiha Ikezumi pointed out the name of Hyuga Jinsuke’s second son. Under the other’s gaze, which was filled with surprise, anger and astonishment, he said in a cold tone: “He cooperated with Gato to operate a sea route for transporting prohibited drugs from the Land of Water to the Land of Fire. Over the past ten years, he has transported hundreds of tons of prohibited drugs into the Land of Fire.”

"Nine years ago, a Hyuga branch family ninja who tried to dissuade you from getting involved in this shady business was brutally murdered, and the head of the Hyuga clan was deceived by the excuse that 'he was assassinated by a ninja from an enemy country.'"

The moment he read out the lines of blood-red text with a blank expression.

The expression on Hyuga Jinsuke's face changed.

His expression, initially one of shock and anger, instantly transformed into disbelief.

Hiashi Hyuga, whose expression had darkened slightly after witnessing Jinsuke Hyuga's murder, suddenly froze. He couldn't help but look at Kenjiro Hyuga, his face instantly turning extremely serious, and he demanded in a stern voice, "Nine years ago? Kenjiro, that branch family member who died so tragically back then, was killed by you?!"

"You're still using the Hyuga clan's name to collaborate with the infamous merchant Gato to transport illegal drugs to the Land of Fire?"

Sweating profusely, Hyuga Kenjiro vehemently denied it: "Lord Hiashi, this is only one side of his story..."

Before he could finish speaking, Uchiha Ikezumi's voice, listing his crimes again, interrupted him.

One crime after another began to terrify Hyuga Kenjiro.

My father seems to have said that this guy named Uchiha Ikezumi has eyes that can see through the "evil" in others, and many people have already fallen victim to those eyes.

This...it's actually true!

Because no one knew better than himself whether the charges that Uchiha Ikezumi had listed were true or false.

"Two months ago, they resold tons of prohibited drugs to Uchiha Hayata and two others, causing tons of prohibited drugs to flow into Konoha Village."

This……

This was the last crime that Uchiha Ikezumi identified in the other party.

Under Neji Hyuga's watchful gaze, Izumi Uchiha slowly drew his ninja sword from his waist. The snow-silver blade reflected Kenjiro Hyuga's terrified eyes, as well as Hiashi Hyuga's somewhat hesitant expression.

Although Hyuga Kenjiro is also a special Jonin.

But the blood and bits of flesh on the ground clearly told him just how terrifying the Uchiha clan ninja in front of him was!
I am no match for this Uchiha madman!
"Uchiha Ikezumi! This...this is the Hyuga clan's territory, and Lord Hiashi is standing right next to me!" Hyuga Kenjiro grabbed Hyuga Hiashi's sleeve as if he had grasped a lifeline, refusing to let go.

"Are you going to do this in front of Lord Hiashi...?" But at that moment, he suddenly noticed that Hiashi Hyuga raised his hand and forcefully broke free from his grip on the other's sleeve.

Hyuga Kenjiro was momentarily stunned.

He heard Uchiha Ikezumi question Hyuga Hiashi: "So, you're going to protect him, Hyuga Hiashi?"

"..." Hiashi paused for a moment.

Under the watchful eyes of numerous members of the main family and branch families.

He sighed deeply, and the taut aura of a clan leader that he had been maintaining dissipated at that moment.

Although she did not answer Uchiha Ikezumi's question, her silence spoke volumes.

Everyone knows what kind of answer Hiashi Hyuga will give.

"Wait, wait! Lord Hiashi, I am a member of the main family! My father is an elder of the main family! Are you abandoning me? You can't abandon me! I give a portion of the money I earn through special means to the family!"

"Hizu-sama?!"

"Hizu-sama!!"

Poof——

The enormous head flew into the air, and the right half of Hiashi Hyuga's face, which was closest to it, was splattered with blood, and half of his clothes were also covered in blood.

Hyuga Kenjiro's head, which was falling downwards, landed on Hyuga Hiashi's shoulder by sheer coincidence.

This blow shattered Hiashi Hyuga's morale.

……
