Konoha: The Absolute Justice of the Uchiha

Chapter 181 No Mercy! The Clash of Susanoo!

Fugaku Uchiha's face, which was always etched with composure and worry, was now replaced by a resolute coldness.

He looked at his former subordinates who were now turning their swords against him.

Looking at his wife who had completely betrayed him, and then glancing back at his second son who would never understand his good intentions, the last trace of hesitation in his heart was completely severed.

He finally "figured it out".

It was his past indecisiveness, his compromise and indulgence with that set of "absolute justice" that allowed Uchiha Izumi's extreme ideology to grow and thrive like a malignant tumor within Konoha.

As a result, today, he, the head of his clan, has been forced to step down by his own clansmen.

Under Izumi's guidance, the entire Uchiha clan frantically charged towards a cliff that was completely opposed to the Will of Fire of Konoha.

This is not about reviving the clan; it's about dragging the entire Uchiha clan into an abyss of no return!

All of this could have been avoided!

All of this happened to the Uchiha clan because of my past weakness.

A deep sense of remorse and responsibility burned within him.

If only we had been more assertive back then, if only we had stopped Chi Quan decisively...

If absolute justice can be nipped in the bud...

"Chiquan."

Fugaku's deep, hoarse voice cut through the noise of the room.

He ignored the cold blades pointed at him all around him, his gaze fixed on the root cause of all this.

"Since it was I who sowed the seeds, this bitter fruit has come to be..."

Fugaku spoke slowly, his chakra surging like a giant beast awakening, "Then I will use my own way to make amends for my mistakes and bring the Uchiha clan back on the right track!"

The moment he finished speaking, the police ninjas, who had been on the verge of attacking, made their move.

"Uchiha Fugaku chose to violently resist the law! He even injured one of our colleagues!"

A ninja who had awakened the Sharingan with two tomoe roared, his eyes filled with a belief in absolute justice and anger towards the former clan leader.

"Everyone! In the name of absolute justice of the police force, take him down!"

Several elite ninjas simultaneously sprang into action, their ninja swords gleaming coldly, charging towards Fugaku from different directions!

A fierce killing intent instantly enveloped Fugaku!

However, faced with this siege, Fugaku Uchiha merely narrowed his eyes slightly.

Om-!
A chilling, terrifying energy combining his eye power and chakra erupted from his body like a tangible storm, cracking the ground beneath his feet and pushing away rubble with the invisible shockwave.

Rumble——! ! !
The next moment, an enormous skeletal arm made of deep purple chakra burst forth from the ground in front of Fugaku.

With his massive arm outstretched, he casually swung it at the charging ninjas!
"what?!"

"not good!"

The expressions of the police ninjas at the forefront changed drastically!
They had no time to react effectively; they only felt a terrifying, overwhelming wind pressure crashing down on them!
It felt like facing a sudden storm!

Their momentum was abruptly halted.

His body staggered backward uncontrollably, the muscles on his face trembled violently from the wind pressure, and he even had trouble breathing.

Cold sweat instantly covered their foreheads.

The look in his Sharingan was replaced by horror!

"What... what kind of power is this?!" A powerful Uchiha Chunin barely managed to steady himself, staring at the slowly retracting purple skeletal giant arm, his face filled with disbelief.

Beside him, a Jonin from the Uchiha clan spat out the legendary name through gritted teeth: "Susanoo! This is one of the legendary supreme eye techniques of the Sharingan!"

This power is beyond the comprehension of ordinary ninjas!

"This is no longer a battle you can participate in, meow."

A strange, languid voice broke the brief silence.

Then, the ninja cat Tachibana Jiro squatted down at Uchiha Ikezumi's feet.

It was short and stout, and had been almost completely overlooked by everyone before.

Tachibana Jiro licked his paw, looked at the massive purple skeletal arm, and slowly said, "Meow, Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Itachi, these two are truly father and son. Maybe that little beast Itachi's extreme and obsessive personality was inherited from you, old man."

It tilted its head, as if seriously considering: "In comparison, that brat Sasuke is much more normal. Maybe... he inherited it from his mother? Tsk, what a blessing in disguise for the family."

After finishing his rant, Tachibana Jiro raised his head and looked at Uchiha Ikezumi, who stood beside him as still as a rock. His tone became respectful: "Lord Ikezumi, what should we do now..."

Before it could finish its question, Uchiha Izumi's cold, emotionless voice rang out.

"Uchiha Fugaku violently resisted the law and used the Mangekyou Sharingan genjutsu to severely injure law enforcement officers, which aggravates his crime."

His gaze pierced through the dissipating smoke and dust, landing on Uchiha Fugaku.

"Absolute justice has sentenced the criminal villain 'Uchiha Fugaku' as follows..."

The brief pause seemed to freeze the air to its very core.

“——Kill without mercy!”

The moment those three cold words were uttered, Uchiha Ikezumi stirred.

He also took a step forward.

boom!
A crimson chakra, even more violent and scorching than Fugaku's, erupted from his body like a volcano that had been suppressed for a thousand years.

Visible crimson energy coiled around him like raging flames, scorching and melting the ground around him.

Boom!

Boom!

Two even thicker, more ferocious crimson skull arms suddenly tore out from beneath the earth and slammed heavily onto the ground!
Immediately afterwards, a giant skull, also made of crimson chakra, burst through the ground and slowly rose up.

Under the shocked gazes of everyone, the two giant skeletal arms braced themselves against the ground and suddenly exerted force!
Accompanied by a tooth-grinding sound of bones grinding together and a deafening roar as the earth cracked open.

A crimson skeletal giant, several meters tall and consisting only of an upper body, stood majestically in the Uchiha compound, like a lava demon that had crawled out of hell!

The veins and muscles begin to rapidly intertwine on the bones!
Soon, a crimson ninja sword was grasped by Susanoo.

Uchiha Ikezumi stood inside the crimson Susanoo, his eyes having somehow transformed into intricate and eerie kaleidoscope patterns.

He looked down at the horizon with a cold gaze.

Like Fugaku Uchiha, he also awakened this supreme eye technique belonging to the Mangekyou Sharingan.

—Susanoo!
"Everyone, do as Tachibana Jiro says."

Uchiha Izumi's voice came through Susanoo, carrying an unquestionable indifference: "Immediately send all civilians in the Uchiha compound to the shelter! Send the wounded to Konoha Hospital for treatment immediately! And ask the Sannin Tsunade to treat the mental trauma caused by the Sharingan genjutsu."

Witnessing the confrontation between the Mangekyou Sharingan, I felt the terrifying eye power of those two eyes, enough to destroy the world.

Even though the remaining police ninjas were unwilling, they fully understood that the battle that followed was far beyond their ability to intervene.

Moreover, one of the ironclad rules of "absolute justice" is—obey orders!
"Yes! Lord Chiquan!"

Without any hesitation, all the ninjas responded in unison and swiftly carried out the order.

Someone escorted Uchiha Mikoto and Uchiha Sasuke away.

Some carried their unconscious companions and rushed towards Konoha Hospital. More people began to efficiently organize the evacuation of civilians.

Fugaku Uchiha watched all this coldly without intervening.

His entire attention was focused on the crimson skeletal giant in front of him.

That familiar, unsettling crimson color stirred up memories he least wanted to touch deep within his heart.

"Itachi..."

Fugaku's voice trembled slightly, and he stared intently at Ikezumi beneath the crimson Susanoo, questioning, "He... died under your Susanoo, didn't he? Right, Ikezumi?"

Uchiha Ikezumi's reply was very cold: "He died a quick death, which was too easy for him."

Boom——!
A very faint but clearly audible crisp sound suddenly rang out.

Fugaku Uchiha clenched his teeth so tightly that the force was so great that he broke the tip of one of his fangs!
Driven by intense emotions, the ground behind him collapsed violently once again.

Another huge purple skeletal arm burst from the ground.

Immediately afterwards, even more purple chakra surged out wildly, and chakra tissues resembling bones, meridians, and muscles rapidly formed!
A purple Susanoo, also consisting only of an upper body but with a size comparable to the red Susanoo, stood up completely!
"Chi Quan! I must stop you! I'm doing this for the Uchiha clan! My conscience is clear! If I can stop you, I'll give my life without regret. The moment I made this choice, I disregarded my own life!"

Fugaku Uchiha's voice emanated from the purple Susanoo, no longer his usual calm and collected tone, but rather a resolute and hoarse one.

The patterns in the Mangekyou Sharingan spun wildly, and immense ocular power poured out like burning flames.

In the enormous skeletal hands of his second-form purple Susanoo, profound eye power surged and coalesced with Charak's frenzied energy.

A dark purple naginata with an ancient yet menacing design gradually solidified!

The blade was wreathed in an ominous purple chakra aura, and its edge gleamed with a chilling light.

This is the Susanoo blade that belongs exclusively to him, Uchiha Fugaku!

The enormous purple Susanoo moved accordingly, its massive joints emitting a teeth-grinding grinding sound.

It gripped the huge, dark purple naginata tightly with both hands, and with the force of splitting mountains and seas, carrying the terrifying power to tear everything apart, it fiercely slashed down at the crimson Susanoo in front of it!

Wherever the blade passed, the air was forcibly pushed aside, emitting a shrill, ghostly wail.

Faced with this powerful and heavy attack, Uchiha Ikezumi's Susanoo reacted instantly.

"Stubborn."

A cold voice came from within the crimson Susanoo.

The crimson Susanoo, whose body surface resembled flowing lava, did not flinch or retreat in the slightest.

Instead, the chakra tissue in his arms suddenly bulged out in a muscular manner.

He wielded the crimson lava ninja sword with the same indomitable spirit.

From bottom to top, it slashed head-on at the dark purple naginata that was coming at it without flinching!

Clang! ! !
The two enormous weapons clashed violently together, and an indescribable roar erupted instantly.

A huge sphere of energy, mixed with purple and red colors, expanded instantly at the point of impact of the two blades.

It then transformed into a destructive circular shockwave, spreading wildly in all directions like a tsunami!

Rumble!
The nearest mansion, belonging to Uchiha Fugaku, with its meticulously constructed courtyard, walls, and roof, was crushed as if by an invisible giant hand in the face of this tangible shockwave.

Debris was blown into the air like a torrential rain, and the solid walls collapsed and shattered layer by layer like building blocks!
The aftermath of just one clash nearly leveled the area.

Fugaku Uchiha, protected by the purple Susanoo, suddenly tensed up!
The feelings fed back through Susanoo.

He clearly felt an irresistible, scorching, and violent force surging wildly along the naginata!

He was horrified to see that his Susanoo was actually losing ground in the struggle against the terrifying power of Izumi's Susanoo!

"How can it be?!"

Fugaku was deeply shocked.

He watched helplessly as his Susanoo's massive purple arms were forced to bend backward under the pressure, and the bones in his fingers gripping the naginata even made a "crunching" sound as they could no longer bear the weight.

The massive, dark purple naginata itself was also trembling violently, as if emitting a painful wail!
What alarmed him even more was that at the point where the two giant blades were locked in a fierce collision, the point of contact of his naginata blade, which was formed from the ultimate Yin Release eye power, showed signs of melting!

"This is... the power of Lava Release!"

Fugaku Uchiha instantly understood and murmured, "He perfectly integrated the power of the Lava Release Kekkei Genkai into Susanoo!"

The fusion of two different bloodline limits is something that has never been recorded in the long history of the Uchiha clan.

Before Uchiha Izumi, the Uchiha clan had never had a ninja who possessed both the Sharingan and another bloodline limit!
This also means...

While both forms of Susanoo exist, Uchiha Izumi's Susanoo, having incorporated the characteristics of Lava Release, possesses an overwhelming destructive advantage.

"So that's how it is. Itachi back then, even with Susanoo activated, was still defeated so decisively. He was probably instantly crushed by this Susanoo that has fused with the power of Lava Release, right?"

Fugaku's face was gloomy.

……

at the same time.

Hokage Building.

Because there was too much dissatisfaction within the Sarutobi clan regarding his position as Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi did not return to the clan compound tonight, but instead chose to spend the night in the Hokage's office rest room.

However, just as he was starting to feel sleepy...

boom! ! !
A deep, thunderous roar came from afar, followed by a slight tremor throughout the entire Hokage Building.

The teacup on the table wobbled.

The tea spilled out.

"What's going on? Is it an enemy attack?!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was instantly awakened.

I'm wide awake!

He grabbed the Hokage robe from the side and put it on. In a flash, he appeared in front of the office's huge window, his sharp, cloudy eyes gazing in the direction from which the loud noise came.

The next moment, his pupils suddenly contracted.

Under the night sky above the Uchiha base, two "giants" were locked in a fierce confrontation!
That enormous size, that terrifying chakra fluctuation, that iconic shape...

"It's Susanoo! And there are two of them! Right here at the Uchiha clan's base!"

His gaze was fixed on the crimson Susanoo.

"That red thing... is Ikezumi's Susanoo! There's no mistake, he used this power when he killed Itachi."

So, what about the other one? Who is that dark purple Susanoo?!

The thought had barely crossed his mind when a possibility he had almost ignored struck him like lightning.

The answer is about to come!
"Fugaku!!!"
