Konoha: The Absolute Justice of the Uchiha

Chapter 198 Izumi: "Obito is a complete lunatic!"

"The Blood Mist policy of Kirigakure was not like it is now many years ago."

As he set foot on the land of the Land of Water, Juzo Biwa said with a complicated tone, "The Blood Mist policy already had a prototype in Kirigakure before the Fourth Mizukage took office."

"But at that time, the village only used this method to select more elite ninjas, and it did not allow this policy to spread to the whole country."

"Furthermore, the bloodline limit ninjas of the Land of Water were not subjected to repeated purges and exterminations..."

At this point, Pipa Juzo paused.

Looking up at the gloomy weather in the Land of Water, and then at the lifeless atmosphere of the port, I saw the port workers and fishermen who seemed listless and had lost their sparkle in their eyes.

He took a deep breath and continued, "But not long after the Fourth Mizukage took office, he took the Blood Mist policy to an extreme, even more extreme than before."

"It was so extreme that even many of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist couldn't stand it. So... most of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist who didn't die in the Third Shinobi World War chose to defect."

"The negative and extreme effects of the Blood Mist policy gradually spread from Kirigakure to the entire Land of Water. This caused the Land of Water's national strength to decline rapidly, and the people gradually fell into misery."

"I used to think that this was all the evil deeds of the Fourth Mizukage, but now I realize that there was also Obito Uchiha hiding behind the scenes."

Pipa Juzo's fist had been clenched tightly without anyone noticing.

If he is satisfied with the current state of Kirigakure, indifferent to the Blood Mist policy, and oblivious to the decay of the Land of Water...

He wouldn't have chosen to defect or join the Akatsuki organization back then.

It was precisely because Juzo Biwa loved Kirigakure and the Land of Water.

That's why they can't stand the current demonized Blood Mist policy.

"Hoo..." After exhaling a heavy breath, Kibi no Juzo said with a gloomy look in his eyes, "Uchiha Ikezumi, can you ask Uchiha Obito, who deliberately turned Kirigakure into this state, what his motive was? If he wanted to extract enough benefits from Kirigakure, shouldn't a prosperous Land of Water yield more benefits than a dilapidated Land of Water? I don't understand."

Uchiha Ikezumi had already put the necklace pendant away.

He looked at the obviously somber atmosphere of the port and slowly said, "You don't need to try to understand Obito Uchiha's thinking with the mindset of a normal person. The purpose of everything he did was very simple - he wanted to take revenge on the entire Land of Water."

Pipa Juzo was taken aback: "Revenge?"

Uchiha Ikezumi said, "Nohara Rin, a female ninja from Konoha whom Uchiha Obito had a one-sided crush on, was implanted with the Three-Tails by Kirigakure ninjas controlled by Uchiha Madara. The stated purpose was to let the Three-Tails return to Konoha and wreak havoc. Nohara Rin did not want Konoha to be destroyed by her, so she willingly allowed Hatake Kakashi to kill her."

“Obito Uchiha witnessed Kakashi kill the girl he had a crush on. He hated Kakashi, hated Konoha, and hated Kirigakure. In his eyes, the ninjas of Kirigakure were the ones who caused the tragedy of Rin Nohara’s death.”

"so……"

"This is his idea of ​​revenge. He doesn't want to gain anything from Kirigakure; he simply wants Kirigakure and the Land of Water to feel the pain he once felt."

The information revealed by Uchiha Ikezumi left Biwa Juzo speechless.

It was so detailed, so detailed, that it was as if Uchiha Izumi was a bystander in the matter.

and……

Based on his understanding of Uchiha Ikezumi, Juzo Biwa felt that the other party was not lying, and that this might be the truth.

No.

What kind of lunatic is this Uchiha Obito?
Doesn't he ever think about why Kirigakure would implant the Three-Tails into a Konoha ninja?

Aren't the Hidden Mist Village afraid that the Leaf Village might use a clever plan to control the Three-Tails?
It's important to know that Konoha Village has many Uchiha clan ninjas, and the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan is the natural nemesis of tailed beasts! Those Sharingan users shone brightly during the Third Shinobi World War, which should have been enough to alert Kirigakure!

How could Kirigakure possibly take such a risk, just throwing such a dangerous creature as the Three-Tails into Konoha like that? There's a chance it'll be like throwing a meat bun to a dog—it won't have any effect at all, and Konoha might even gain control of two tailed beasts!
No one with a brain would do something like that!
Anyone with a brain can see that something's not right here!
Pipa Juzo was momentarily stunned.

He said he didn't understand.

"...The ninja world is truly dark." In the end, all that could be said by Juzo Biwa was this sentence.

The various conspiracies and schemes that even he couldn't quite understand made Hibiki Juzo's scalp tingle.

The key point is that these conspiracies all seem to be true.

He couldn't understand why the real Madara Uchiha would plot so many conspiracies behind the scenes.

What was the other side's purpose in training Obito Uchiha?
What does the other side want to do to the entire ninja world?
Madara Uchiha... Is this man, who was once comparable to the First Hokage of Konoha, still alive?
"Meow, you'll get used to it." Tachibana Jiro sat on Uchiha Izumi's shoulder, yawned, and said, "Don't think that the thinking of those mentally ill people is the same as that of ordinary people like you. If Uchiha Obito were a normal ordinary person, he would never think of going against Lord Izumi."

"But meow..."

Tachibana Jiro glanced at Biwa Juzo and said, "Uchiha Obito only accelerated the decline of your Kirigakure. If you blame everything on Uchiha Obito, it means you don't really realize where the problem lies, meow."

Tachibana Jiro's words silenced Biwa Juzo.

Indeed, he had intentionally or unintentionally shifted all the blame onto Obito Uchiha, as if he were escaping something, as if he were denying that Kirigakure was rotten to the core from the very beginning.

Obito Uchiha, a person with a mental illness, simply found an opportunity to make his foundation even more rotten.

Think of it...

Pipa Juzo could not refute this.

Izumi pursed her lips and said, "Uchiha Obito, strictly speaking, is my father's killer. Because of the Nine-Tailed Fox, it was because of him that I released it during the Nine-Tailed Night."

"His revenge against Konoha and the Hidden Leaf Village was completely illogical. He was simply venting, simply being antisocial, simply... possibly having some mental issues."

"This kind of person and Itachi Uchiha probably belong to the same category."

The girl gave Obito Uchiha this evaluation.

From her perspective, at least, Obito Uchiha's actions made him that kind of person.

……

Konoha Village.

With Tsunade's words, "Shizune, see the guest out," Shizune had no choice but to bite the bullet and try to get the Third Hokage out.

As a result, Hiruzen Sarutobi remained seated motionless, causing Shizune to break out in a cold sweat.

No way!
Is there really going to be some kind of armed conflict?

What should I do then? If I help Lady Tsunade fight the Hokage, would I be considered a traitor to Konoha? But if I kill the Hokage, will Lady Tsunade become the next Hokage of Konoha?

Just as Jingyin was overwhelmed with wild thoughts, her forehead was covered in cold sweat, and she was extremely nervous.

After remaining silent for a long time, Hiruzen Sarutobi finally stood up slowly.

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Tsunade.

He didn't say anything, but turned and walked towards the door.

When I got outside the door.

With his back to Tsunade, Hiruzen Sarutobi said in a hoarse voice, "Then let's fight. Tsunade, I can't stand by and watch you act willfully. Unless you can say to my face that you've drawn a clear line between yourself and absolute justice."

"Of course, this doesn't mean I'm asking you to be an enemy of absolute justice. But at the very least, you cannot govern Konoha with the ideals of absolute justice, and you certainly cannot allow absolute justice to replace the Will of Fire." With these words, Hiruzen Sarutobi turned and left without looking back.

Tsunade's expression was somewhat complicated.

She rubbed her temples and sighed, "It seems the old man is unwilling to admit defeat or back down. He avoids Chi Quan like the plague. He's getting serious now; this is truly a complete break!"

Shizune swallowed hard. "Lady Tsunade, what should we do next?"

Tsunade's face flashed with seriousness as she said, "Since the old man has made this decision, how could I be afraid of him? If he wants to fight, then let him fight and get to the bottom of it."

"Shizune, tomorrow we'll go visit those Konoha ninjas who have a good relationship with the old man, are well-known in the village, and still have some strength."

Shizune nodded quickly: "Who is the first person I want to visit?"

Tsunade thought for a moment and gave an answer: "Kakashi Hatake!"

……

Meanwhile, Hiruzen Sarutobi was also taking action.

He did not return to the Hokage Building, nor did he return to the Sarutobi clan.

Instead, they found Jiraiya, who was trying to track Naruto Uzumaki.

"Jiraiya!"

The moment Hiruzen Sarutobi's smiling voice rang out from behind Jiraiya, Jiraiya stiffened, and his expression became somewhat unnatural.

Jiraiya pretended not to hear, yawned, and, as if he wanted to go back to the inn for a nap, walked off in one direction in his wooden clogs.

As a result, Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't give him a chance to escape.

They blocked his way.

Hiruzen Sarutobi forced a kind smile onto his wrinkled old face: "Jiraiya, although you've been back in the village for a while, we haven't really had a proper chance to catch up."

Jiraiya's lips twitched without leaving a trace.

He scratched his head and chuckled awkwardly, "Hahaha! It's you, old man! I vaguely heard someone calling me, but the voice was too soft, I thought I must have misheard..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled politely and greeted Shima and Fukasaku, who were perched on Jiraiya's shoulders.

Followed by.

Seeing Jiraiya's somewhat stiff expression, Hiruzen Sarutobi cut to the chase: "Jiraiya, you must have heard about some of the rumors circulating in the village lately, right?"

Jiraiya chuckled awkwardly, "I have indeed heard that the law enforcement procedures of the Konoha police force seem to have become very strict. If you are caught taking photos in the women's bathhouse, you may end up in jail."

Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't care about Jiraiya's way of forcibly changing the subject.

He steered the conversation back on his own: "You've probably heard that Tsunade wanted to become the Fifth Hokage of Konoha, right? Jiraiya."

Now that things had come to this point, Jiraiya knew that pretending to be stupid was no longer useful.

Jiraiya took a deep breath and said helplessly, "Old man, don't drag me into this. You should know... I'm not interested in these things. Besides, this involves Tsunade, how can I possibly persuade her?"

Jiraiya's expression was complicated: "If you really want to continue being Hokage, you'd better talk to her. She's still your student, after all. If you're nice to her, maybe she'll listen to you."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said, "I have already met Tsunade once."

Jiraiya: "..."

Jiraiya now knows he no longer needs to ask about the outcome.

Since the old man found him, it means that his conversation with Tsunade probably had a very tense moment.

It might be getting closer to a situation where a major fight is imminent.

Jiraiya pondered for a moment and said, "Perhaps... you should let the best young people in the village take over Konoha. After all, you can't stay in the position of Hokage for decades or even centuries, can you?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head: "I am not the kind of person who craves power, nor am I obsessed with it. I naturally have this idea of ​​handing Konoha over to the younger generation."

"but……"

"I should also have my own choice regarding the specific young people to be entrusted with the leadership. In my eyes, those who are overly superstitious about absolute justice are not suitable to lead Konoha."

Say it.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's gaze was solemn: "Jiraiya, I hope you will openly support me and spread the news of your support throughout Konoha, so that everyone in the village will know. Because as one of the Legendary Sannin, you can rally many ninja to follow you."

"or……"

"You should run for the Fifth Hokage of Konoha. If you become the Hokage of Konoha, I will have no objection. I will also give you my full support so that you can suppress Tsunade."

Jiraiya's lips twitched.

He knew that the old man contacting him at this critical juncture couldn't be anything good.

That's too offensive.

If it were someone from another ninja village, Jiraiya wouldn't care much, but offending someone from his own ninja village was a much bigger problem.

What if the old man loses to Tsunade? Wouldn't I be in big trouble and get punished by Tsunade?

Jiraiya had no idea how many ribs he would break.

Tsunade can be quite petty at times!

They also hold grudges!
“Hmph… old man,” Jiraiya said, “I don’t have time to get involved in these things right now. My focus is now on the entire ninja world. The ninja world needs a special transformation to return to the way it should be. And this transformation requires the child of prophecy from the Great Toad Sage.”

"This is what I need to do. I will not let anything else distract me before I have trained the Child of Prophecy."

Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned: "Child of Prophecy? The Great Toad Sage's prophecy? What does that mean?"

He really didn't know about this.

Jiraiya could only offer a simple explanation, which made Hiruzen Sarutobi frown even more, and he even lingered his scrutinizing and suspicious gaze on Fukasaku and Shima.

"Jiraiya, is your prophecy... really reliable?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's furrowed brow and questioning expression startled Jiraiya.

Why doesn't even the old man believe the Great Toad Immortal's prophecy?
