Konoha: The Absolute Justice of the Uchiha

Chapter 183 The Wind of Absolute Justice Rises in Konoha

Hiruzen Sarutobi kept an eye on the situation at the Uchiha clan's encampment.

Fortunately, the two Susanoo were large enough that he could clearly see the situation in the distance from the Hokage Building.

After witnessing the dark purple Susanoo being cleaved into pieces by the massive crimson Susanoo with a single slash, he was truly amazed.

Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but take a deep breath.

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that the breath seemed to carry a faint smell of sulfur and a kind of heat.

"Fugaku has been defeated."

As Hiruzen Sarutobi slowly uttered these words, he could roughly guess Fugaku's fate and end.

After all, both sides have already used Susanoo, a legendary Sharingan eye technique, so it's basically a fight to the death.

The fact that the commotion has now subsided can only mean that one of them was killed, and the most likely culprit is Uchiha Fugaku.

Hiruzen Sarutobi realized that after tonight, the Uchiha clan's stance, situation, and ideology would be completely rewritten.

Within the entire Uchiha clan, no one can rival Izumi.

[Absolute Justice] will be upheld throughout the entire Uchiha clan!
Whether it was the efforts of Fugaku Uchiha, Itachi Uchiha, or Setsuna Uchiha, they all became the wedding dress for absolute justice.

And he, as the Hokage, did not stop any of this from happening.

Or……

It’s too late!
Uchiha Ikezumi's strength once again exceeded Hiruzen Sarutobi's expectations. He never expected that Fugaku could be defeated so quickly, so decisively, and so without any resistance.

"Hurry! Someone come here."

As soon as Hiruzen Sarutobi finished speaking, two ANBU ninjas appeared in front of him in a flash.

Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a somber face, "Secretly infiltrate the Uchiha clan's territory and see if you can find Fugaku's eyes. Based on my understanding of Fugaku, when he possessed this power, he would never allow it to perish with him; he would definitely leave it to... the village."

What he wanted to say last was "the Uchiha clan," but if he actually said it, wouldn't his behavior be somewhat dishonorable?
Hiruzen Sarutobi still had some sense of shame, so he changed his statement from "leaving it to the Uchiha clan" to "leaving it to the village."

Dead people don't come out to argue.

"Yes, Hokage-sama!"

The ninjas from the Dark Guard spoke in unison.

……

the other side.

A line of familiar text suddenly flashed before Uchiha Ikezumi's eyes.

After successfully carrying out this righteous mission, Fugaku Uchiha "sent" him an unexpected gift before his death.

—The fusion of the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan!

this moment.

Uchiha Ikezumi clearly felt two warm currents swirling in his eyes. The Mangekyou Sharingan power from Uchiha Fugaku was being continuously absorbed and assimilated by him, causing him to unconsciously close his eyes.

He seemed frozen in place, remaining motionless for a full ten seconds.

When Uchiha Izumi slowly opened his eyes, the pattern on his Mangekyou Sharingan... quietly underwent a strange change.

The pattern on the eyes looks like two different Mangekyou Sharingan patterns overlapping each other to form a new pattern.

At that moment, Uchiha Ikezumi's eye power began to increase continuously, to the point that his eyes felt slightly swollen and painful.

But this throbbing pain only lasted a few seconds before it disappeared.

He has fully adapted to these brand-new eyes.

"call……"

As Uchiha Ikezumi sensed the changes within himself, he murmured to himself, "With such weak blood ties... how can we merge together? This is somewhat beyond my expectations."

As members of the same Uchiha clan, they must be related by blood.

But who could have imagined such a shallow blood relationship?

It actually came with such a generous "gift".

After Uchiha Ikezumi deactivated Susanoo, a shadow clone that had appeared out of nowhere rushed towards him. The shadow clone extended a hand, on which lay two eyes—the Sharingan eyes that Uchiha Fugaku had gouged out before his death.

……

"Phew... I'm too late again."

Looking at the seemingly devastated Uchiha clan compound ahead, and its "empty" state, Tsunade raised an eyebrow and muttered, "It seems that Ikezumi still cares about ordinary civilians; he must have evacuated everyone beforehand."

Then, she saw a figure emerge from the Uchiha clan's residence; it was none other than Uchiha Ikezumi!

Tsunade stepped forward.

"Chi Quan, who did you get into a fight with this time?" she asked bluntly.

"Uchiha Fugaku."

Tsunade's eyelids twitched at Uchiha Ikezumi's reply.

Tsunade asked curiously, "What's wrong with him?"

As Uchiha Ikezumi walked, he gave a brief explanation.

Tsunade sighed, "The Uchiha clan's ninjas haven't been this extreme for just a day or two. The way your clan awakens your Sharingan means that most of you are not quite normal. Your normalcy is just an effort to suppress your inner fanaticism."

"Ahem, I wasn't talking about you." Tsunade suddenly realized that her words were a bit off.

"That's not wrong."

Uchiha Izumi readily admitted: "Only in the soil of extreme evil can extreme absolute justice be born."

Subsequently.

Uchiha Ikezumi suddenly said, "A police ninja was severely injured by Uchiha Fugaku's eye technique. The medical ninjas at Konoha Hospital probably won't be able to heal him. Don't worry, it's just a psychological trauma; there won't be any bloodshed."

Tsunade nodded knowingly.

"Let me go."

……

far away.

The disbanded Uchiha clan members gathered here, including not only Uchiha civilians but also many police ninjas.

Uchiha Izumi was among them.

"it's over……"

A complex emotion flickered across Izumi's delicate face. She could tell that Izumi-senpai had won, and Fugaku Uchiha had lost. That meant that Fugaku Uchiha had already perished in the Pure Land.

She couldn't help but look ahead, her gaze landing on Uchiha Mikoto and Uchiha Sasuke, the mother and son.

Will Izumi-senpai's killing of Fugaku Uchiha cause Mikoto Uchiha to hate her?

Will this cause Sasuke Uchiha to waver in his belief in absolute justice?

But there's nothing we can do about it. Fugaku Uchiha crossed the line of justice, and justice must punish him. We can't just let him off the hook because he has a wife and son, can we?

That way...

That's not justice.

“Mother…” Sasuke looked up at his mother’s profile. He could clearly see that Mikoto Uchiha’s tears were completely out of control and were dripping down her face.

A sudden feeling of emptiness made Sasuke realize something at that moment.

"Father..."

Sasuke turned his head and stared blankly at the night sky in the distance. He couldn't describe how he felt.

At that moment, Sasuke suddenly recalled some rumors about Ikezumi-sensei.

He had heard of...

After one of Teacher Chi Quan's blood relatives committed an evil deed, Teacher Chi Quan personally executed the person.

Was the feeling of Teacher Chi Quan back then exactly the same as my feeling now?

Sasuke suddenly felt his vision becoming blurry.

My nose also feels a little sore.

At that moment, he suddenly felt a soft, warm hand gently stroking his head.

When I looked up...

What he saw was his mother, who had wiped away her tears and was forcing a smile: "Sasuke, don't be confused. You must never ignore someone's mistakes just because you are close to them. That's wrong. The first thing an excellent ninja must do is be able to distinguish right from wrong."

Sasuke could hear the slight sob in his mother's voice.

His mother was more comforting him than comforting Uchiha Sasuke.

It's more accurate to say she was comforting herself.

"……Um."

Sasuke nodded heavily.

Uchiha Izumi, who had taken in all of this, sighed softly to herself.

Such scenes actually play out with different people almost every time justice is served.

But as Uchiha Mikoto said.

Right and wrong cannot be ignored!

Family ties should not interfere with justice!

Lady Mikoto was indeed a good mother. She suppressed her grief and taught her second son by example. It's just that, for some reason, Itachi Uchiha, as the eldest son, didn't learn a single good quality from his mother.

Quan didn't understand.

Just then, Quan was suddenly startled, for a familiar figure appeared in her sight.

"Senior Chi Quan!"

……

At that moment, Uchiha Mikoto also noticed Uchiha Ikezumi.

When she saw that only Uchiha Izumi was walking towards her, she knew that her guess had come true.

"Fugaku, he..."

Mikoto Uchiha asked, her voice trembling slightly, "Did he leave anything behind? Or... did he say anything last?"

Uchiha Ikezumi stood in front of her and handed the two Mangekyou Sharingan in his hand to Uchiha Mikoto.

He said, "This is what he left for Sasuke."

Uchiha Mikoto was taken aback.

The two Mangekyou Sharingan eyes had been wiped clean, and the bloodstains on them were long gone. These were Fugaku Uchiha's eyes, and also the only "corpse" he had left behind.

Uchiha Ikezumi continued, "At the very last moment of his life, all he said was that he wanted to give these eyes to Sasuke. But he was still a child, an immature child, and for him to possess such power... would most likely only lead to chaos."

"As for when he will be qualified to have and use these eyes, that depends on your choice as his mother."

Mikoto Uchiha stiffly accepted the pair of kaleidoscopes.

"……I see."

She whispered.

……

The next day.

early morning.

The news of Fugaku Uchiha, the former head of the Uchiha clan, being executed by "Absolute Justice" instantly ignited the entire Hidden Leaf Village! For many, he was undoubtedly one of the village's most important figures!
The Uchiha clan, as a ninja clan, has long been at the center of the village's public opinion storm. Any little thing they do is enough to cause a lot of discussion among the villagers of Konoha.

Not to mention, it was the death of a former clan leader who was forced to step down!
"Could this be some kind of sinister political struggle? Did that Uchiha plague god, after taking power, find some excuse to eliminate his opponents and then use it as a pretext to get rid of Uchiha Fugaku?"

Konoha's troublemakers are never absent.

Often, without anyone actively stirring things up, strange conspiracy theories will spread unnoticed in private.

"That's quite possible! Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence? Besides, Fugaku Uchiha is the former clan head. Even if he committed some offenses, shouldn't there have been opportunities to show leniency? Only when eliminating dissidents would they resort to such ruthless measures!"

"I heard that Fugaku Uchiha's wife was also involved. Tsk tsk, what a vicious woman! The Uchiha clan is indeed a bunch of lunatics, even the women are no exception."

"It's that Uchiha Izumi who's using justice to eliminate dissidents! This is definitely not the first time he's done this; quite a few Uchiha clansmen have died at his hands, haven't they?"

"..."

However, the police force is no longer the same as it used to be.

In the past, when seemingly plausible conspiracy theories circulated in the village, the ninjas of the police force mostly remained indifferent.

Because of Uchiha Fugaku, who is the captain of the police force.

They don't care about these so-called fabricated conspiracy theories and public opinion.

But now it's different.

While the two Konoha villagers were having a heated discussion, even adding fuel to the fire by spreading rumors.

"Hey!"

A barely suppressed voice rang out from behind them: "What are you talking about? Can I join in?"

The two Konoha villagers turned around in confusion.

He was immediately terrified and lost his mind.

"police……"

"Police force!!!"

A Chunin from the police force, his face expressionless, rested his hand on his ninja sword, which was already half-drawn from its waist. He spoke in a cold tone: "Deliberately spreading rumors in the village and causing extremely negative public opinion damage to others, do you really think the police force will turn a blind eye?"

The two Konoha villagers froze, their faces stiff.

“I’ve never seen you care about this before…” one of them said, his voice trembling as if he had lost his parents.

"Now we're in charge! Because the police force is no longer under the control of that cowardly sinner, Fugaku Uchiha! The police force has now completely turned to Lord Ikezumi's absolute justice!"

"You bunch of scoundrels who can't say anything decent, don't think you can get away with spreading rumors and slandering others behind their backs forever!"

"Lord Ikezumi has already said that a tragedy like that of Hatake Sakumo will not be repeated a second time!"

The police force's ninja said coldly.

……

"...Won't that kind of thing happen again?"

not far away.

Kakashi Hatake, who took in all of this, had a complex look in his eyes.

"With Chi Quan's extreme measures, perhaps... he really can curb this unhealthy trend of spreading rumors in the village."

Kakashi had mixed feelings.

The Konoha leadership, to which Kakashi Hatake served, did not intervene to stop his father from facing such immense public pressure. In fact… they might even have been instrumental in this.

On the contrary, Uchiha Ikezumi, who had no connection whatsoever, mentioned his father's ordeal to the police ninjas.

He then ordered his subordinates to stop this unhealthy trend.

A question arose in Kakashi's mind.

Who exactly... is the one who truly cares for the village?
