Konoha: The Absolute Justice of the Uchiha

Chapter 169 Battle Against the Reanimated First and Second Hokage! Orochimaru: "What a monster!" (Over 7,000 words)

Orochimaru never expected that he would once again embark on a life-or-death escape.

Whoosh——

Whoosh——

The air, scorching hot like a burning blade, seared Orochimaru's fragile lungs with every breath.

The pungent sulfur fog was so thick it almost solidified into a gel, making Orochimaru nearly vomit. It also caused his vision to blur, and he was accompanied by excruciating pain in his head and a feeling of blurred consciousness.

Sulfur poisoning!
Orochimaru immediately analyzed his own physical symptoms.

He had to leave this area—Orochimaru had only one thought in his mind. His disheveled figure dodged and leaped again and again on the scorching, cracked, and lava-ravaged earth, with continuous booming and explosions behind him, as if the earth was being smashed by a giant hammer!
A violent heatwave exploded against his back like a vengeful ghost, the airflow scalding Orochimaru's skin!
Without even turning around, he knew that the human experimentation base, which had consumed his endless efforts over the past few years, had probably by now been completely reduced to a magma graveyard flowing with molten metal and churning with toxic volcanic fire!
Priceless equipment, years of forbidden research data…

Everything was reduced to ashes!
Fortunately, he had prepared a backup plan in advance. When he learned that someone had invaded the base, he moved his precious "containers" away in advance.

Orochimaru summoned a snake from the Dragon Cave to transfer the container.

Given the speed of those snakes, they should have moved a great distance.

They should not be affected by the lava projectiles falling from the sky.

After running for an unknown amount of time, Orochimaru stopped when he felt the heat wave behind him subside slightly. He took a few deep breaths of fresh air, then turned around with a grim expression to look back.

A scene of purgatory was reflected in the golden vertical pupils.

What you see is shocking!

The ground beneath his feet was covered with the remnants of flowing lava, the black smoke connected with the dark red clouds, and the scorching winds swirled up the ashes to form blackish-gray dust. The land, flowing with destructive magma, intertwined into a boundless purgatory at the edge of Orochimaru's vision.

The entire area as far as the eye could see was riddled with craters filled with churning lava and raging fire, creating festering wounds on the earth.

The raging flames were tens of meters high, casting Orochimaru's face in an orange-red hue. The magma beneath the flames slowly and steadily engulfed all the debris, and the terrifying heat distorted the air.

"This technique..."

Orochimaru's throat was a little dry: "Heh heh... I'm afraid a single blow could engulf the entire Hidden Leaf Village in flames. No wonder Sarutobi-sensei treated me and Uchiha Izumi differently..."

He finally understood why Hiruzen Sarutobi applied double standards when dealing with "the extreme Orochimaru" and "the extreme Uchiha Izumi".

If he were Hiruzen Sarutobi, he would probably apply the same double standards.

Uchiha Ikezumi is a humanoid tailed beast!
It seems that everyone in the ninja world underestimated him, including those guys in the Akatsuki organization who wanted to assassinate Uchiha Izumi.

Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The sudden sound made Orochimaru's expression change. When he turned around, he saw towering trees rising abruptly from the ground, with countless thick branches stretching towards him, each branch covered with venomous thorns.

I almost forgot, Uchiha Izumi also possesses the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai!
"Ninja Technique·Psychic Technique..."

"Big snake!!!"

As a huge plume of white smoke burst open, a massive snake, its skin covered in tough keratin and its size comparable to a small hill, suddenly appeared and coiled up into a giant fleshy shield, blocking Orochimaru's path!

Sizzle sizzle—!
Countless venomous thorns instantly coiled around the snake's body, the tough scales rubbing violently against the venomous barbs, sparking dazzling fireflies.

The giant snake let out a painful hiss, its scales shattering one by one under the terrifying constricting force!

Orochimaru had no time to pay attention to the summoned beast. He suddenly turned his head, his extremely perceptive golden vertical pupils locking onto a certain direction.

Not far from the still billowing, raging sea of ​​lava, a figure treads upon the molten torrent that seems to submit to him, slowly and deliberately cutting through the flames and smoke as he walks toward Orochimaru's location.

Wherever the other person passed, the magma seemed to surge and churn more actively due to the high temperature, forming a winding path of lava fire!

"...Did he even know where I retreated from? I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I always feel like he can see me from a great distance."

Orochimaru's eyelids twitched slightly.

Just as Uchiha Ikezumi was getting closer and closer.

Orochimaru suddenly froze.

He was shocked to discover that Uchiha Ikezumi's eyes were no longer the eerie, scarlet Mangekyou Sharingan, but a pair of pure Byakugan from the Hyuga clan—it was highly likely that the other party was able to see his movements through the thick smoke through these Byakugan!

no……

Isn't he from the Uchiha clan?

How could there be eye rolls?

It can't be that either Uchiha Izumi's father or mother is a member of the Hyuga clan, right? Has Konoha become so open-minded that the Uchiha and Hyuga clans can intermarry?

Orochimaru didn't understand!

"His fourth bloodline limit..." Orochimaru murmured, his mouth dry. Some of the "monsters" he had researched were probably not as monstrous as Uchiha Izumi!

Others who possess a bloodline limit have the opportunity to become elite Jonin of Konoha.

Uchiha Izumi pulled out four kinds at once!

He is not the dual bloodline limit genius that others claim him to be.

He is a monster with four bloodline limits!

suddenly!

Without warning, the figure that was still a hundred meters away suddenly blurred in his eyes, and a violent heat wave that made the space tremble rushed towards him!

The next instant, a giant lava fist, compressed to its limit and encased in boiling magma, appeared before him as if by teleportation.

The speed was so fast that it made one's mind freeze!
Orochimaru only had time to instinctively hold the Kusanagi sword horizontally in front of him, frantically pouring massive amounts of chakra into the sword, and the wind release's hissing sound shone sharply on the blade!
boom! ! !
A deafening roar, comparable to the force of a tailed beast's claw strike, slammed into the Kusanagi sword.

Unstoppable!

puff--!
Orochimaru spat out a mouthful of scalding blood. He felt as if his internal organs were about to be shattered. He was thrown backward as if he had been hit by a battering ram.

It even crashed violently into the enormous, psychic serpent behind it.

The giant snake, as large as a small mountain, was also sent flying dozens of meters by this immense force, crashing into a small grove of trees and letting out a painful howl!

Orochimaru's body crashed to the ground like mud.

It bounced twice more, like a broken doll.

He struggled to support his upper body, the bones inside his body making a teeth-grinding "crack, crack" sound of dislocation and friction, but strangely, his bones did not break - his body completed an amazing softening and dissipation of force at the moment of impact!

His body no longer resembled a human's.

It looks more like a human-shaped snake!
"Heh heh... Uchiha Izumi... your 'surprise' is really keeping me on my toes..."

Orochimaru wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"I was originally going to save this for dealing with Sarutobi-sensei... but since your power has exceeded my expectations, I'll test this technique on you, Uchiha Ikezumi, first."

He slowly stood up, looking extremely disheveled, with his hair in disarray. Anyone who didn't know him would mistake him for a beggar from somewhere.

"The art of psychic..."

Orochimaru straightened up, formed four hand seals, and then clasped his hands together tightly.

"Impure World Reincarnation!!!"

Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
A chilling chakra that sent shivers down one's spine erupted from beneath Orochimaru's feet, and the inky black curse marks spread and intertwined wildly across the ground like living things.

The ground groaned under the weight, and huge cracks spread like a spider web. Three coffins, exuding a heavy aura of the Yellow Springs, were forcibly lifted from the pure land by an invisible giant hand!

The heavy coffin lid slammed inwards, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Orochimaru's mouth suddenly opened to an inhuman degree, and three small, snow-white snakes slid out from deep within his throat, each snake's fangs precisely holding a shikigami inscribed with impure earth talismans.

Like an arrow released from a bow, the white snake instantly darted into the mouths of three empty shells that had just closed their eyes in the coffins, awaiting "birth"!

At that moment, the three figures finally opened their eyes.

"what……"

Among them, the man with long black hair looked around in confusion, then carefully examined the strange state of his body, and helplessly looked at the other expressionless silver-haired man next to him.

The man with long black hair spoke up, "I told you long ago, don't research these weird techniques."

The silver-haired man glanced back at Orochimaru behind him and said expressionlessly, "You can actually use the Impure World Reincarnation technique? Are you a ninja from Konoha? Impressive young man."

"Ho ho..."

Orochimaru's lips curled into a slight smile: "It's truly a pity. I was indeed a Konoha ninja. Unfortunately, one day... Konoha abandoned me."

"Is that so..." The Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, nodded thoughtfully, then turned his gaze to Izumi Uchiha.

The Second Hokage immediately noticed the Uchiha clan crest on Izumi Uchiha's police uniform.

He narrowed his eyes: "A rogue ninja from Konoha using the Impure World Reincarnation to deal with an Uchiha who exudes an evil aura, you juniors are a bit hard for me to understand."

Orochimaru gave a sinister smile. He looked at the third person who emerged from the coffin and said, "The First Hokage and the Second Hokage have already spoken. Lord Danzo, now that you've seen the person who killed you, don't you have any reaction?"

That's right.

The third coffin did not contain the Fourth Hokage, but rather Shimura Danzo, who had already died at the hands of absolute justice!
Orochimaru once transplanted Sharingan and Wood Release cells into Danzo.

Therefore, he naturally possessed a portion of Danzo's flesh and blood tissue.

This part of Shimura Danzo's flesh and blood became the key item that allowed Orochimaru to summon Shimura Danzo.

However, Orochimaru soon realized that Danzo's condition was very strange.

Danzo, summoned by the Impure World Reincarnation, trembled violently as if he were being shaken!

His tightly closed eyes snapped open, and those eyes, formed of filth and dirt, which should have been empty, were now filled with indescribable, extreme pain and fear from the depths of his soul!
"Ugh... Ah... Ahhh—!!!"

A heart-wrenching, inhuman scream burst from Shimura Danzo's mouth.

He suddenly clutched his head tightly with both hands, his facial features twisted and deformed to a ferocious degree, and his body, formed from the filthy earth, showed signs of collapsing and disintegrating.

Danzo, who had been resurrected from the impure world, collapsed to the ground, writhing and tumbling in agony.

It felt like enduring torture powerful enough to tear the soul apart!
"...?!"

Orochimaru was bewildered. What was going on?

The next second, a scene that chilled Orochimaru to the bone appeared.

laugh--!
Without warning, a strange flame suddenly erupted from Shimura Danzo's impure body, instantly engulfing his entire body and turning him into a blazing human torch.

The impure earth's body sizzled under the flames, disintegrating into primordial dust at a visible speed.

However, the Impure World Reincarnation is still in effect.

Dust... once again gathered and reformed under the power of the Impure World Reincarnation technique... Shimura Danzo had just condensed into human form when his eyes, filled with boundless pain and despair, opened again.

"Do not--!!!"

An even more desperate scream rang out.

The flames of judgment were reignited, creating an endless and chilling cycle of suffering!

Orochimaru was completely stunned.

Seeing this bizarre scene unfold before him, even the well-informed Orochimaru was momentarily speechless.

"Tobirama, what's wrong with him...?"

The First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, looked at Danzo with a puzzled expression: "He seems to be one of your subordinates, right?"

Tobirama Senju frowned as well: "He is Danzo, both my subordinate and my disciple. But I have never seen him in this state before. It doesn't seem like a side effect of a failed Edo Tensei. Because the side effects of Edo Tensei only affect the caster, not the dead person who is resurrected."

"His condition..."

Just as Tobirama Senju hesitated, Izumi Uchiha's indifferent voice suddenly rang out, interrupting him: "The Mangekyou Sharingan's judgment and divine punishment will 'hunt down' every villain for all eternity. Whether they live or die, whether in the ninja world or the Pure Land, endless pain will follow them closely."

Orochimaru immediately understood: "So that's how it is... Shimura Danzo, so he died because of your Mangekyou Sharingan? Heh, I guess I miscalculated..."

Orochimaru also remembered that during the Akatsuki meeting, the masked man had mentioned information about Uchiha Ikezumi's eyes.

It seems the masked man's information was indeed correct. Shimura Danzo is a prime example.

Just hearing Danzo's screams and seeing him in this miserable state of endless pain was enough to send a chill down Orochimaru's spine.

The pain that follows the soul...

Damn!

He really did restrain himself quite a bit!

Orochimaru broke out in a cold sweat.

"The Mangekyou Sharingan?!" Tobirama Senju's sharp eyes narrowed instantly. He stared intently at Izumi Uchiha in front of him, a sudden surge of intense killing intent emanating from his body: "You actually awakened the most extreme eye of the Uchiha clan? You born evil Uchiha brat, just how many close friends and relatives did you personally kill before awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan... Hmm? Your eyes..."

Tobirama Senju suddenly paused, "Isn't that the Byakugan?"

"Second Hokage, don't underestimate him. He possesses four bloodline limits... Lava Release, Wood Release, Sharingan, and Byakugan! Heh heh, I've heard that the Second Hokage deeply hates the Uchiha clan, hasn't he?"

As Orochimaru retreated, he continued speaking from behind Tobirama Senju, "I've just given you, old man, a chance to kill the strongest genius of the Uchiha clan in this generation."

You should thank me properly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the white snakes that had previously burrowed into the bodies of Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju activated the talismans they were carrying.

at once.

Whether it was Hashirama Senju or Tobirama Senju, the intelligence in their eyes was instantly replaced by blankness and killing intent.

They have completely turned into two impure earth puppets!
"Go, Hokage!" With Orochimaru ignoring Danzo Shimura's order, the First Hokage clapped his hands first.

"Drink—Wood Release!!!"

……

"Tch, so-called big businessman Gato is nothing special." Meanwhile, in a coastal town in the Land of Fire, a Jonin from the police force was holding a head with a frozen expression of terror in his hand.

The air was thick with the pungent smell of blood. One bodyguard after another fell to the ground, some dead from multiple stab wounds, others with kunai and shuriken embedded in their bodies.

If anyone saw the head in his hand, they would be shocked to discover that the head belonged to the great merchant Kado!
Yes.

After separating from Uchiha Ikezumi, the three quickly found Gado's confidant and extracted information about Gado's whereabouts from him.

Then things became much simpler; the three Uchiha Jonin didn't pull any fancy moves.

They openly and brazenly stormed up to Kado, killing over a hundred of his bodyguards and warriors who were in cahoots with the wealthy merchant.

With a swift stroke, he killed the terrified Kado as well.

“This guy is so weak, yet he’s lived for so long.” A Jonin from the Uchiha clan glanced at Gato’s head and said, “He must have a protector up there. Maybe his protector is a nobleman from some ninja country, or even a daimyo from some faction.”

The Uchiha Jonin, holding the severed head, said, "That's why I'm cutting off his head and bringing it back to Konoha. The person who protected him couldn't possibly be unaware of the evil deeds he committed."

"Knowing that Kado is a villain, yet still protecting him and acting as his shield. That means that his protectors are also villains. We need to uproot all the sins, leaving no stone unturned."

"This is something that justice must do."

At this moment, the third Uchiha Jonin sheathed his ninja sword, which he had just wiped away the bloodstains from, and said, "Before returning to Konoha, should we go and meet up with Lord Uchiha Ikezumi?"

His words startled the other two.

"...Master?" The other two were a little surprised by his address to Uchiha Ikezumi.

"Since we have chosen to believe in justice and follow his absolute justice, shouldn't we call him Lord Ikezumi? After all, we used to call Uchiha Fugaku Lord."

……

The earth groaned in agony, unable to bear the weight any longer. The ground beneath Uchiha Ikezumi's feet cracked like a shattered eggshell, with countless bottomless fissures spreading outwards like lightning.

Immediately afterwards, the power of creation from Wood Release surged forth!

Hundreds of towering trees, far exceeding the diameter of giant trees, rose from the ground! They disturbed the air, emitting a chilling tearing sound, and with an immense force capable of crushing mountains, they pressed towards the direction of Uchiha Izumi!

Faced with the overwhelming torrent of Wood Release techniques, Uchiha Ikezumi's eyes remained completely unmoved.

He didn't use hand seals; he simply used the most basic and primitive method.

Lift the arm!

Charge up!

Punch!

His right arm instantly transformed into a boiling furnace core, with dark red magma seeping and surging wildly from his skin! The entire arm expanded and deformed at a visible speed!
The flowing magma partially solidified, outlining the ferocious contours of lava muscles, and finally transformed into a giant lava fist with a diameter of nearly ten meters, radiating terrifying high temperature and an aura of destruction!

"Big fire-breathing!"

boom! ! !
When the giant magma fist slammed into the surging torrent of Wood Release.

It was as if an active volcano had erupted!
An indescribable crash resounded through the sky, and a violent shockwave, like a tangible white ring of air, swept across the area, tearing up and crushing the nearest ground.

Even Edo Danzo, who was writhing on the ground clutching his head and screaming in agony, was violently thrown away by this immense force.

The blinding red light and scorching heat instantly took over.

Zizzi——! ! !
Like a hot knife through butter, the moment the giant magma fist made contact with the Wood Release, the incredibly tough Wood Release was no match for the magma's high temperature. The thick trees rapidly carbonized and turned black amidst a teeth-grinding "sizzle" sound, until they were finally melted into steam!
Wherever the giant magma fist passed, it forcefully carved out a path of boiling magma amidst the boundless Wood Release ninjutsu.

The flames, like a greedy beast, instantly dried and distorted the air within a radius of hundreds of meters around the two people, with tiny flames even escaping from the cracks in the earth.

The air was filled with a pungent, burnt smell and the stench of sulfur!

Even more horrifying is—

After clashing with the Wood Release torrent for several seconds, the massive magma fist, having accumulated its maximum energy, exploded with a deafening roar, the entire fist bursting apart like a volcanic eruption!
Countless magma missiles of varying sizes, like an apocalyptic meteor shower, carrying destructive kinetic energy and terrifying heat, rained down upon Hashirama and Tobirama!

Faced with the oncoming rain of lava and fire, Tobirama Senju's eyes were as cold as ancient ice, devoid of any emotion.

His hands crossed as if in a phantom, then suddenly clasped together!

"Water Release·Water Wave!!!"

A massive burst of Water Release chakra erupted from Tobirama, causing a torrent of water to surge out of nowhere from the previously dry ground.

These water streams didn't simply converge; instead, they spun wildly at speeds exceeding the limits of physics. In an instant, a colossal spiral waterspout, far surpassing that of an ordinary waterfall and reaching tens of meters in height, rose from the ground!

The water spun at high speed, emitting a deafening roar, like a raging water dragon rushing towards the incoming lava projectile.

Countless lava missiles crashed into the swirling waterfall abyss.

Extreme high temperature and icy cold water react instantly to annihilate each other!
laugh--! ! !
Thick, opaque white steam instantly filled the entire battlefield, and violent steam explosions were like thousands of pressure cookers exploding at the same time.

Under the cover of the rising white mist, a silver-white figure rushed out from behind the waterfall like a ghost!

In an instant, Tobirama Senju closed in on Izumi Uchiha. As the mist churned, a powerful whip kick tore through the mist and ruthlessly swept towards Izumi Uchiha's chin.

As Uchiha Ikezumi slightly turned his body, he caught Senju Tobirama's right leg that was kicking at him.

Nourishes—

The terrifyingly high temperature of the magma vaporized Tobirama Senju's right leg.

However, Tobirama Senju, in his Edo Tensei form and under Orochimaru's control, was completely unaware of pain. He rapidly formed hand seals within inches of Izumi Uchiha.

"Water Release: Water Barrage!!!"

Puff puff puff puff—one water bullet after another spewed out from his mouth, directly extinguishing Uchiha Izumi's magma-like body. After cooling, the magma turned directly into solidified volcanic rock.

Tobirama Senju delivered another powerful chop to Izumi Uchiha's head, shattering it completely.

Available in the next second.

Uchiha Izumi's unharmed body suddenly appeared behind Senju Tobirama—it turned out that the one who was hit head-on by the Water Release and whose head was smashed by a single palm strike was just a Lava Release clone.

Just as Uchiha Izumi, transformed into a magma hound, was about to pierce Senju Tobirama's back with his right hand.

Hashirama Senju rushed forward and punched Izumi Uchiha in the back.

The monstrous strength emanating from the First Hokage erupted, instantly shattering Uchiha Izumi's upper body.

The upper body, which could be transformed into fragmented magma, reassembled even faster.

Uchiha Ikezumi, expressionless, turned around and threw a punch!
The punch was so fast that even in his Edo Tensei form, Hashirama Senju could only cross his arms in an attempt to defend.

The results are self-evident.

Even in his impure form, his physical body couldn't withstand the erosion of the magma. This punch pierced right through Hashirama Senju's body! His magma arm expanded rapidly and exploded, tearing the First Hokage's entire body to shreds.

"Ninja..."

"Diamond Seal!!!"

This is not the sealing technique used by the Second Hokage, but rather the sealing technique used by Uchiha Izumi.

Then, golden chains emerged from his magma-transformed body.

Each golden chain struck precisely at Hashirama Senju's reanimated body, which he was attempting to rebuild. The sealing techniques from the Uzumaki clan were also forcefully interfering with the Edo Tensei jutsu. Simultaneously, they were also disrupting the cursed seals Orochimaru had implanted within Hashirama's body.

Hashirama Senju, whose reanimated body was now in a state of disarray, suddenly regained his senses from a state of utter irrationality to a state of dazed clarity.

Uchiha Izumi's hands did not stop moving.

He clapped his hands again, and thick vines sprouted from his body, wrapping around the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju.

"Water Release: Water Severing Wave!!!"

Tobirama Senju opened his mouth and spat out a super-high-pressure, straight jet of water. In the blink of an eye, it severed the vines that were coiling towards him.

Unexpectedly, a magma hound formed from his right arm suddenly bit his head from behind the vine!
Tobirama Senju's entire head was "wiped out" by the magma.

"King Kong Blockade."

Uchiha Ikezumi used the same sealing technique as the Uzumaki clan.

Half of the golden chain was broken off and used to bind Tobirama Senju on the other side.

After the Second Hokage, who had been controlled by Orochimaru's cursed seal, had his head reassembled, his eyes gradually regained their senses.

"Ah... I'm very sorry, young man of the Uchiha clan."

Hashirama Senju, his body in pieces, tried to scratch his head, only to find that his hands and head were quite far apart.

"What's the point of apologizing to an evil Uchiha brat?"

Qianju Feijian snorted coldly.

Immediately afterward, he asked Uchiha Ikezumi, "You told us that the young man we resurrected is a ninja with four different bloodline limits, including the Wood Release of our Senju clan. Uchiha brat, what's your name?!"

To Tobirama Senju was taken aback when this Uchiha brat, who didn't seem like a good person, completely ignored him!

The other party then formed a hand seal.

Tobirama Senju felt the power from the Pure Land pulling him back.

He immediately understood that this brat, who was also skilled in sealing techniques, could return those who had been resurrected from the Impure World to the Pure Land. Of course, the prerequisite was that he could control the two of them as they were now.

The moment Tobirama Senju fell into the Pure Land.

Only one thought occupied his mind—the rude Uchiha!

Uchiha Izumi didn't even glance at the two Hokage who had disappeared. His eyes had already switched back to Byakugan, and he looked around, catching sight of dozens of figures fleeing in different directions.

The power of the Byakugan allowed him to directly identify the real Orochimaru.

"Wow, that's really fast..."

……
