Konoha: The Absolute Justice of the Uchiha

Chapter 200 The Slug Immortal's Fate! The Toad's Fear
The crimson blood flowing slowly on the ground added a touch of eeriness to this lifeless water town, and the gradually spreading stench of blood overpowered the smell of street garbage.

Uchiha Izumi chose to use her own methods to enforce her absolute justice in the Land of Water.

Even if these children were sold to human traffickers by their parents, it might not constitute a crime in the Land of Water.

But in the girl's eyes, to act indifferent to all of this would be a desecration of justice!
The rules established by the laws of the Water Kingdom are not necessarily correct!
This is something that Senior Chi Quan once taught me.

If one's beliefs and actions are as clear as a mirror, without the slightest confusion or violation of the will of justice, then one's actions are true justice!

and so……

She attacked the three human traffickers; three fleeting flashes of light from her blade instantly claimed their lives.

However, the girl did not kill the human trafficker in an overly bloody manner.

These children, who are severely malnourished and clearly have suffered some psychological trauma, should certainly not be shown overly bloody scenes, otherwise it would likely cause them even greater distress.

Therefore, the method used by Quan was very simple and straightforward.

It was a single stab through the heart, stopping their hearts from beating.

When the three human traffickers collapsed to the ground, their faces blank and their bodies weak.

Blood slowly flowed from their chests.

"Don't look down at them." Izumi had already subtly sheathed her ninja sword. She gently crouched down and smiled at the children who were bound by chains in front of her. "Look at me. My name is Uchiha Izumi, and I am a ninja from the Konoha Village Police Force. From today onwards, these bad guys will no longer be able to harm you."

Kizuki Biwa approached with a complicated expression and asked, "You and Izumi Uchiha only intend to wipe out the evil here in the Land of Water. If you're going to take care of these brats, do you still have time to carry out justice?"

Quan fell into a brief silence.

“We can’t just do nothing, and besides, this is something Senior Chi Quan has tacitly approved.” Finally, she let out a soft breath and said, “When a villain appears in front of you, even though you can kill him within your capabilities, you still don’t make a move.”

"I cannot accept such indifference. I choose to believe in absolute justice and follow Senior Ikezumi so that I can work with him to eradicate all evil in the ninja world."

"Whether it is a major evil or a minor evil, as long as it is within my power and as long as I see it, I will never let it go."

This time, it was Pipa Juzo's turn to fall silent.

He looked at the timid little devils and said, "I have a few trustworthy friends in the Land of Water. I can give them money to help take care of these little devils."

Quan stood up and smiled broadly: "Thank you."

With a cold expression, Juzo Biwa said, "Don't forget that I'm now on the side of Izumi Uchiha. Strictly speaking, I also believe in absolute justice."

"Now I am your colleague. If a brat like you can be so dedicated to justice, so can I."

This Mr. Juzo Biwa, he seems to have a sharp tongue but a kind heart, but in reality, he wants to help these children even more than I do. — This thought flashed through Izumi Uchiha's mind.

……

at the same time.

Konoha.

Jiraiya forced himself to temporarily forget about the fact that "Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't understand why he was searching for the prophesied child."

He found Naruto Uzumaki once again.

He then appeared in front of Naruto in a very comical and bizarre pose, blocking Naruto's path.

"Clang! Clang! Clang! The son of Mount Myōboku, one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, the freest hero in the ninja world! Jiraiya, the Sage, has arrived!"

Jiraiya grinned at Naruto, "Naruto Uzumaki, you've rejected me time and again. You must not know how amazing I am. I can train you to become the best Hokage in Konoha!"

"I can even teach you many powerful ninjutsu techniques. You should already know that there is a terrifying entity inside you, right? I can also teach you how to control it and how to use its power!"

"Hey, weirdo." The cold, childish voice didn't come from Naruto's mouth, but from Sasuke next to him: "This is the fifth time. If you keep coming out to harass us, we'll call the police."

Naruto frowned, his little face showing a look of disgust: "I've already said I'm not interested in your teachings."

"I usually have teachers like Iruka-sensei, Ikezumi-sensei, Izumi-senpai, and Tachibana-jiro-senpai to teach me, and the Hokage-sama also teaches me occasionally."

"I don't need someone like you, some weird, lecherous immortal!"

Jiraiya was taken aback: "A perverted sage?!"

Sasuke crossed his arms and said coldly, "Don't think we haven't investigated you, you strange old man. We already know that some of the novels you write are very indecent. We've also heard some rumors in the village that you used to peep into women's bathhouses."

"Don't let us catch you red-handed, you weirdo! Otherwise, we'll definitely throw you into Konoha Prison and lock you up for a few years!"

Jiraiya broke out in a cold sweat, never expecting that these two children would read his novel.

In the eyes of these kids, the male art in their novels, cough, is indeed a bit indecent.

But Intimacy Paradise isn't just a pure pornographic book!

The real key point there is the ninja way that I summarized myself!

"Hoo!" Jiraiya took a deep breath. It seemed he had to reveal something to make Naruto realize the weight of the burden he carried.

Jiraiya straightened up, his expression turning serious: "Naruto. Since you believe in absolute justice, you should know that this ninja world is terminally ill, right?"

Naruto nodded.

He has witnessed many evils under the guidance of Teacher Chi Quan and Senior Quan.

The crimes committed in Konoha Village alone were enough to shock him.

This caused a huge psychological shock to Naruto, who was at that age.

"The ninja world needs a revolution. Only a ninja world that has undergone the right revolution can recover from its terminal illness. And the person who can bring about this revolution... is called by the Great Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku—the Child of Prophecy!"

Jiraiya's words left Naruto and Sasuke exchanging bewildered glances. Jiraiya continued with a sigh, "I've been wandering the ninja world for countless years in search of the Child of Prophecy. But I never imagined that the true Child of Prophecy... would be right here in Konoha!"

Sasuke seemed to have grasped a glimmer of inspiration: "You old weirdo, the child of prophecy you mentioned, could it be Naruto, that loser?"

"Correct."

Jiraiya nodded frankly: "Naruto is the child of prophecy, he is the savior who will bring change to the ninja world. But the premise is... he needs to be carefully taught by me. I need to teach him to understand what the ninja world is like. Only in this way... can Naruto become the savior of prophecy."

Jiraiya's expression was serious as he spoke earnestly, "That's why I'm so persistent. Naruto, you carry not only the burden of justice, but the entire ninja world on your shoulders."

Hearing Jiraiya's words, Fukasaku and Shima, who were standing on his shoulders, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that Jiraiya has completely abandoned his hesitation.

Since he laid his cards on the table with Naruto Uzumaki, it means that Jiraiya was already prepared to teach the Child of Prophecy.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's disapproval did not have a significant impact on young Jiraiya.

It only gave him that brief moment...

I'm just a little distracted.

"To place the burden of the future of the ninja world on the shoulders of a child is an irresponsible and selfish act. Well, at least that's how it seems to me. As for what my true self thinks, I don't know, maybe it's the same as mine."

Just then, a clear and melodious female voice rang out from nowhere, sounding particularly abrupt at this moment.

Jiraiya was stunned for a moment.

The two hermits from Mount Myōboku on his shoulders suddenly narrowed their pupils.

Fukasaku and Shima immediately fixed their gazes on Naruto Uzumaki's golden hair.

I saw——

A tiny slug popped out from Naruto's hair!

“This is…” Fukasaku murmured, “The Slug Sage’s split body? I’ve heard that each of the Slug Sage’s split bodies has a different personality and mindset. However, sometimes the Slug Sage’s original mindset can also descend upon its split body.”

Master Shima said solemnly, "Honey, shouldn't the most important thing right now be why the Slug Master is here? Even though it's a clone, but... um?"

suddenly.

Shima, the sage, turned his gaze in shock to Sasuke on the other side.

Surprisingly, a slug sage clone was also perched on Sasuke's shoulder!

The voice of this clone was exactly the same as that of the clone on Naruto's body. It spoke up, saying, "This child has rejected you three times already. You don't need to keep forcing him, do you? You have to respect his thoughts, even if he's just a young child."

Shima Sage realized something was wrong: "Why does this Uchiha brat also have a split version of the Slug Sage?"

"Because Shikkotsu Forest has reached a cooperation agreement with Uchiha Ikezumi, or more precisely, an alliance." Another voice rang out, also the voice of the Slug Sage.

Even Jiraiya started sweating.

Jiraiya immediately looked down and squinted to get a closer look. He saw a tiny, ant-like creature in front of his feet, and it was that creature that had been speaking.

From the rooftop of the house on the left, the voice of the slug sage's split body also rang out: "Stalking a child time and time again seems a bit too much, Jiraiya-sama."

On Jiraiya's hair, a split entity about the size of a flea had appeared out of nowhere. It said, "If Naruto is truly destined to bring about change to the ninja world, why must Mount Myōboku raise him? Is this truly the Great Toad Sage's prophecy, or just his own selfish desires?"

Jiraiya felt a chill run down his spine. He didn't even notice when a split entity fell onto his head.

Is this the skill of the "immortals" in the three holy lands?
“Moreover…” the Slug Sage’s voice rang out from behind Jiraiya: “Prophecy… is not immutable. If the future can be predicted, it can also be changed. How dare the Great Toad Sage assert that the future trajectory hasn’t changed?”

In the air, there seemed to be slug fragments, lighter than feathers, floating in the wind, their voices faint: "If the future has been changed, how can the Great Toad Sage be so certain that if something is developed according to the original prophecy, the future will inevitably be as it foretold?"

A slug split off, larger than a human, appeared brazenly behind Naruto and Sasuke, and slowly said, "Mount Myōboku has interfered in the ninja world for too long. Shouldn't we let the ninja world develop according to its natural course?"

The gentle voices of the slug's split bodies echoed slowly from all directions, layer upon layer: "Do we have a point?"

The Slug Sage's voice was very gentle and soft, but it sent chills down the spines of Jiraiya, Fukasaku, and Shima.

Unbeknownst to them, they had been surrounded by the Slug Fairy!
They couldn't even count how many slug clones were lurking throughout Konoha!

There were already clones that had unknowingly taken root in Jiraiya's hair.

Is it possible that a clone has already entered Jiraiya's body through his nostrils, ears, or horse's eye?

—This is definitely a warning from the Slug Sage to Mount Myōboku!
Shikkotsu Forest has actually started getting involved in the ninja world's affairs!

Furthermore, since Shikkotsu Forest only had one Slug Sage to begin with, Shikkotsu Forest's fate is equivalent to Slug Sage's fate!

That was an immortal who had lived for over a thousand years!
"Jiraiya, the situation is not good." Fukasaku said in a low voice with a serious tone, "Perhaps the Slug Sage will not break ties with Mount Myōboku over this matter, but if a conflict really breaks out, the residents near Konoha will probably be in danger."

Immortal Shima said warily, "Honey, why are you being so tactful? The current situation is that we don't know how long the Slug Immortal has been planning this in the vicinity, and we have no information whatsoever."

"If it really attacks... we three could be severely injured instantly if we're completely unprepared. Unless... we immediately activate Sage Mode."

"But if you put on this kind of stance in front of the Slug Sage, then it would probably really be a complete falling out."

Jiraiya didn't even dare to take a deep breath, for fear that he might inhale some invisible slug splitting organism in the air.

“I’ve never seen Tsunade use this technique when she summons the Slug Sage.” Jiraiya murmured, “It seems… the Slug Sage was serious about preventing Mount Myōboku from contacting the Child of Prophecy. It’s also true that it formed an alliance with Uchiha Ikezumi.”
