Konoha: The Absolute Justice of the Uchiha

Chapter 182 The Death of Fugaku! "Such a self-indulgent sentimentality."

"This is... Ikezumi's eye technique, isn't it?"

Tsunade frowned as she gazed at the distant scene, muttering, "Making such a commotion in the village, has he encountered a powerful enemy?"

"Shizune!"

Tsunade's expression immediately turned serious, and she said to Shizune beside her, "Keep an eye on the Hyuga clan members and tell them not to wander around at night."

Shizune was taken aback and hurriedly said, "Lady Tsunade, are you going to..."

Tsunade said bluntly, "That Ikezumi guy is making too much noise. He's the kind of person who doesn't care about the consequences when he fights. I'll go check on him to prevent him from destroying nearby buildings and facilities, which would mean the village would have to spend extra money to repair them."

Mute: "???"

no……

When did Lady Tsunade become so concerned about the village? Besides, isn't this something only the Hokage should be concerned about? Hasn't Lady Tsunade stopped interfering in ninja affairs a long time ago?

Well……

"She probably just wanted to help Uchiha Izumi and found a lame excuse, right? When Lady Tsunade gambles and doesn't pay back loans, she's so shameless. But at a time like this, she's surprisingly concerned about saving face..."

Shizune saw right through Tsunade and muttered to herself while holding Tonton.

"that……"

Just then, a curious yet somewhat introverted voice came from over: "Excuse me, what happened in the village?"

Shizune turned her head and saw that it was Hinata Hyuga, the eldest daughter of the Hyuga main family.

Oh yes.

The Hyuga clan no longer recognizes her as their religious heiress.

The other members of the Hyuga clan stood behind Hinata.

The explanation for "silence" was only briefly given.

"Uchiha Ikezumi?" Among them, the only special jonin in the main clan gasped as he gazed at the two Susanoo figures in the distance, one crimson and the other dark purple.

I couldn't help but swallow hard.

Maybe……

Uchiha Ikezumi showed some leniency towards the Hyuga main family.

After all, if he were to wreak havoc in the Hyuga clan with that kind of power, probably very few members of the Hyuga main family would survive.

……

"Fukasaku the Sage, Shima the Sage, that's Susanoo, right?"

Jiraiya stood atop a tall building, gazing solemnly at the Uchiha clan's encampment not far away.

Fukasaku nodded: "Yes. That Susanoo with the aura of magma should be Uchiha Izumi's Susanoo. It's truly terrifying! Even from a distance of more than two kilometers, you can feel its aura, which is like that of a demon from hell."

Master Shima said, "It's a pity that he, who possesses this power, is not the prophesied child to save humanity. If his thoughts were not so extreme, perhaps he would be the true savior."

……

"Teacher Chi Quan..."

"Father..."

Sasuke, who had been taken away by the police ninja and evacuated to a distance, looked somewhat bewildered at the two Susanoo that were locked in combat.

He never expected things to turn out this way, with his father becoming a villain in the eyes of absolute justice.

Instead of showing the slightest remorse for his sins, his father even launched an attack on the police force's ninjas!
The fact that Teacher Chiquan didn't let the police ninjas capture Father at the beginning shows that she had already given Father a chance.

If Father is willing to turn himself in, he may only need to reflect in Konoha prison for a few months, or at most two or three years, before he can be released.

but……

My father, however, decided to oppose absolute justice. His actions, his thoughts…

She looks exactly like her brother.

“Mother…” Sasuke couldn’t help but look at Uchiha Mikoto beside him, only to find his mother staring blankly into the distance.

Just by looking at his mother's profile, Sasuke could tell that she had suffered a certain degree of emotional shock.

Perhaps it was because of the unfamiliarity my father showed.

It caught my mother completely off guard.

Sasuke's voice brought Mikoto Uchiha back to her senses.

A complex and painful expression flashed across Mikoto Uchiha's beautiful face.

"Ugh……"

In the end, all she could do was sigh and say bitterly, "Sasuke, your father... could never reconcile with the situation he couldn't control. He always thought that you and I couldn't see the situation in the village, but in reality, the one who was blinded all along... was him. And he didn't reflect on this at all."

"He made the exact same choice as Itachi. And his ending and fate might also be exactly the same as Itachi's..."

Upon hearing this, Sasuke keenly noticed that his mother's voice was already choked with suppressed sobs.

Sasuke opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

He knew his mother was conflicted. On one hand, she was thinking of herself, and on the other hand, her father was her husband. And on yet another hand, there was the absolute justice that could make the Uchiha clan better.

And the one who brings absolute justice into the home is also my mother.

“Mother…” Sasuke gritted his teeth and said seriously, “You have done nothing wrong. If Father had not held such extreme views, if he had not crossed the line of justice, Ikezumi-sensei would not have attacked him.”

"The root of all mistakes..."

"It should be Father!"

……

click-

A soft yet incredibly clear sound, like ice cracking, pierced Uchiha Fugaku's ears.

His crimson Mangekyou Sharingan suddenly contracted to its maximum size.

He looked incredulously at the arms of his Susanoo!
On those arms that were originally surging with deep chakra energy, tiny but clear cracks had appeared!
Cracks spread rapidly, even like a spider web.

What terrified him even more was that... the huge, dark purple naginata in Susanoo's hand was also covered with countless cracks growing wildly at the edge where it was tightly locked with the crimson lava ninja sword!
The entire blade was groaning under the strain, and the long hilt was bent into an exaggerated crescent shape, showing signs of breaking completely at any moment.

"How is this possible?!"

Fugaku Uchiha was in utter shock, his face filled with disbelief and disbelief.

"Both are Susanoo with the Mangekyou Sharingan! But they only incorporated the characteristics of Lava Release... Is the difference really this great?!"

He couldn't understand it!
This was beyond his understanding of Susanoo's power.

However, reality did not give him more time to think.

In that very instant when his mind went blank.

In the hands of Uchiha Izumi's Susanoo, the gigantic ninja sword, seemingly forged from molten lava, suddenly erupted with a violent power far exceeding its previous strength and unmatched in its power! Clang—

Click! ! !

Boom! ! ! !
Accompanied by a deafening roar, like a mountain collapsing!
Fugaku Uchiha's dark purple naginata, riddled with cracks, shattered into pieces in mid-air, like a fragile piece of glass.

The naginata transformed into countless purple chakra fragments, scattering in all directions.

It then vanished into the air.

The crimson lava ninja sword continued its unabated momentum, sweeping across the battlefield with unstoppable force, like a hot knife cutting through solidified butter!

Swish-! ! !
A crimson arc of death flashed by.

The two already cracked arms of Uchiha Fugaku's purple Susanoo were severed at the root!
Susanoo's arm slammed heavily to the ground, stirring up clouds of dust, before slowly dissipating as primordial chakra particles.

The residual force of this strike even transformed into an extremely scorching crimson wind pressure, ruthlessly ploughing forward along the side of the ground.

Rumble——! ! !
The earth looked as if it had been ruthlessly plowed by a giant's plow.

A massive ravine, several meters deep, over ten meters wide, and almost spanning the entire Uchiha clan's territory, was instantly formed.

The walls of the ravine were as smooth as a mirror, and even exhibited a vitrified crystalline state due to the instantaneous high temperature!
Dark red lava slowly flowed and dripped at the bottom of the ravine.

It exudes a suffocatingly high temperature and sulfurous odor!
A few drops of cold sweat slid down Fugaku Uchiha's forehead, running down his stiff cheeks.

He could even feel the searing pain, as if it could melt his soul, brought about by the crimson wind pressure that brushed past him.

suddenly!

He suddenly raised his head, his pupils trembling wildly with extreme horror!
Ahead, Uchiha Ikezumi's crimson Susanoo did not stop.

Its size is growing and expanding at an astonishing rate!

Thirty meters...

Fifty meters...

And this is far from over!

An even larger crimson chakra surged from the ground like a tsunami, quickly coalescing into a complete lower body—a huge pelvis, thick legs, and feet covered with heavy armor!
This towering giant has finally revealed its complete form!
At the same time, layers of ancient, heavy, and ferocious-looking crimson armor plates began to cover its torso and limbs.

The armor was covered in lava-like patterns, and scorching air blasted from the joints.

It was like a lava demon god that had crawled out from the deepest part of the eighteenth level of purgatory.

It stands majestically atop the Uchiha clan's stronghold!
Fugaku Uchiha had to tilt his head back as far as possible to barely see the eye sockets burning with cold karmic fire beneath that huge battle helmet!
Fugaku Uchiha's face was almost blank and pale.

The resolute fighting spirit and energy deep within him were instantly pierced by an invisible sharp needle, and completely dissipated.

His Susanoo, with its arms severed and only half a body remaining, was less than a third the height of the opponent's Susanoo.

He even doubted that even if he jumped with all his might, he might not be able to touch the other person's groin!
Even if both arms were intact, he could probably only hit the opponent's knee!
This absolute difference in size and strength is like a six-year-old child facing a fully armed, towering giant in despair.

An unprecedented, deep-seated sense of powerlessness and insignificance overwhelmed him completely.

next moment.

The crimson lava ninja sword, which had also grown to a gigantic size along with Susanoo, was raised high by Uchiha Ikezumi's Susanoo.

Despite its enormous size, its speed did not decrease at all. On the contrary, due to the extreme concentration of power, the wind pressure generated when it struck down was even more terrifying!
boom! ! ! !

Before the ninja sword had even fully fallen, the substantial wind pressure created by the compressed air had already swept across the entire Uchiha clan territory like a typhoon passing through!
Nearby buildings were blown away and crushed like paper!
The earth was trembling violently and wailing!
As Fugaku Uchiha gazed up at the colossal blade that blotted out the sky and burned with flames of destruction, the last glimmer of light in his eyes went out.

He seemed to see his eldest son's dying moments through the deadly blade.

"Itachi..."

He muttered to himself, his voice so hoarse it was almost inaudible, “I think I can understand… the despair you felt before you died. It wasn’t the fear of death. It was the powerless despair of trying everything but being unable to budge the enemy in the slightest.”

boom! ! !
In his final moments, everything before him seemed to twist and melt, like a wax figure being thrown into a furnace.

His Susanoo, which he was so proud of and which had gathered the strongest eye power, was as fragile as a strangely shaped piece of butter in front of that huge lava ninja sword!
Before the blades even made full contact, the extreme heat had already caused Susanoo's defensive structure to begin melting and vaporizing.

Should I use Izanagi? — This thought flashed through his mind instinctively.

It's pointless. — The next second, this thought was completely crushed by cold reality.

Faced with such an absolute disparity in power, even sacrificing an eye for a chance at resurrection...

and then?
Should we confront this invincible force once again?
At this moment, Fugaku Uchiha couldn't even muster the idea of ​​using other Mangekyou Sharingan techniques.

because……

Useless!

When the scorching heat made his skin feel a tearing, burning pain, when the shadow of death had completely enveloped him, and when he could even smell the burning of his own hair.

Fugaku Uchiha made the last, and only, choice he could still make.

He suddenly raised his hands, his index and middle fingers bent like hooks, and dug them down hard into his Mangekyou Sharingan!
puff!

He forcibly dug out the two Mangekyou Sharingan eyes, stained with warm blood and bearing bizarre patterns, from their sockets.

"Chiquan!!!"

With the last of his strength, he threw the two bloody eyes away in a relatively safe direction in the distance!

"Give my eyes...to Sasuke!!!"

Regardless of whether he and Uchiha Ikezumi were mortal enemies, he absolutely could not allow himself to suffer the same fate as his eldest son Itachi, letting his precious Mangekyou Sharingan be destroyed.

The future of the Uchiha clan... may still need this power.

This was the last thing he could do as a father and as the former patriarch!

Itachi became an enemy of Izumi for the sake of Konoha's "peace".

And I am doing this for the "future" of the Uchiha clan.

Even if we lose, we must do one last thing for the Uchiha clan.

Swish-! ! !
The next moment, the massive lava ninja sword finally tore through the already useless dark purple Susanoo. The terrifying blade, carrying the intense heat that could incinerate everything, fiercely swallowed up Uchiha Fugaku, whose eye sockets were now just two bleeding holes.

Human flesh and blood could not even exist for a moment in the face of this strike containing the power of Lava Release.

Every cell, every nerve, every bone in Fugaku Uchiha's body emitted the most extreme screams of pain within a fraction of a second.

It was instantly evaporated and vaporized by that indescribable high temperature!
There were no screams, no struggles, and no traces left.

It was as if he had never existed in this world.

The smoke and scorching heat slowly dissipated.

"A villain who has fallen into the abyss can actually be self-satisfied in the end. As expected, Itachi Uchiha inherited your mental illness."

Uchiha Ikezumi's cold voice rang out.
