Konoha: The Absolute Justice of the Uchiha

Chapter 209 Two Choices of the Hidden Mist
however……

The Tailed Beast Ball, which gathered all the power of the Three-Tails Isobu and was powerful enough to wipe most of the ninja villages off the map, was like a child throwing a ball in front of the much larger Complete Susanoo. It was simply not enough!

Facing the Tailed Beast Ball that roared towards them with an aura of destruction, the cold gaze hidden beneath the heavy helmet of the Perfect Susanoo remained completely unmoved.

Its enormous hands, covered in crimson armor, firmly gripped the hilt of the massive lava blade, as wide as a giant door.

Just as the Tailed Beast Ball was about to strike the Susanoo's chest armor...

Swish-! ! !
A fiery red arc was suddenly unleashed with lightning speed, surpassing even the reaction time of elite ninjas!

The trajectory of the blade seemed to briefly slice open the space itself!
The moment the blade of the lava giant blade made contact with the surface of the jet-black Tailed Beast Ball.

An extremely eerie, absolute silence, as if all things had fallen silent, instantly enveloped this world.

The initial shockwaves from the destructive energy collision were beyond the range of ordinary hearing.

Viewers in the distance even had the illusion that time and space had frozen.

It was as if the whole world had turned into a still black and white oil painting.

The next moment!
Zila——! ! !
Like a red-hot scalpel cutting into a large chunk of butter, or like a rolling heat wave melting ice and snow.

The moment the edge of the lava giant blade made contact with the Tailed Beast Ball, the highly compressed and unstable Tailed Beast Ball did not explode as expected.

Instead, it was cleaved in two by the edge of the lava giant blade without any obstruction!
boom! ! !
boom! ! !
The Tailed Beast Ball, precisely cut in half, lost the balance and stability of Yin and Yang chakra energy.

It transformed into two slightly smaller dark energy bodies, whistling past the left and right sides of the complete Susanoo with a shrill cry.

It shot off toward the distant horizon behind it.

Almost at the same time, in two different areas several kilometers behind Susanoo, two enormous fireballs, comparable to towering mountains, suddenly rose up!
The blinding light instantly illuminated the sky.

It even briefly outshone the sun's brilliance!

The terrifying shockwave from the explosion arrived first, and the destructive gale it generated roared like a natural disaster, violently shredding and tearing the clouds high in the sky into fluff.

On the ground, huge rocks, as big as houses, were uprooted and then torn and ground into the finest powder in the air.

The vast primeval forest behind them was instantly reduced to nothing by the intense heat and impact of the explosion.

Only two huge, charred, deep pits with vitrified edges remained!

Even though they were thousands of meters apart, the ground beneath Uchiha Ikezumi's feet was still trembling and groaning violently.

As if a high-intensity earthquake had occurred, jagged cracks spread out like a spider web.

Two enormous mushroom clouds, a mixture of flames and dust, slowly rose behind the complete Susanoo.

at the same time.

The momentum of the slash that split the Tailed Beast Ball by the Perfect Susanoo did not diminish at all!

The trajectory of the blade swept across the room, creating a crescent-shaped, crimson shockwave composed of highly concentrated Lava Release chakra!

The shockwave, visible to the naked eye, was like the scythe of death.

It easily cleaved and melted the earth in front of it, carving out a straight, deep, and enormous ravine with dark red lava flowing along its edges.

The Lava Slash, with its tearing speed, headed straight for the Three-Tailed Isobu, whose aura had weakened considerably and whose body was frozen in place!

The vertical, crimson lava slash was even taller than the massive, mountain-like body of the Three-Tailed Isobu.

It also occupied its entire field of vision!

Isobu, whose aura was clearly weakened due to the exhaustion caused by the Tailed Beast Ball, suddenly widened its single eye to its limit.

The pupils reflected the ever-approaching, fiery red that seemed to fill the entire world!

fast!
too fast!
It was so fast that it didn't even have time to raise its paws in defense!
Its vision was completely consumed by that destructive crimson!

Even out of the corner of my eye, I couldn't see anything else.

It was as if only this deadly slash remained in the entire world.

next second!
Puff——!!!!

There was no earth-shattering collision sound, only a heart-palpitating dull thud as a blade cuts through tough leather!

The crimson lava slash completely engulfed the massive body of the Three-Tailed Isobu!

Its thick armor, which it was so proud of and could withstand the bombardment of ninjutsu, was rendered useless in the face of this lava slash.

The extreme high temperature instantly melted it through, and the terrifying impact followed, tearing it apart completely!

A crimson arc of light flashed vertically through the very center of the Three-Tailed Isobu's body!
Click——! ! !
The massive body of the Three-Tailed Isobu was like a sculpture precisely cut apart, irreversibly splitting into two directions, starting from the very center!
The fracture surface is smooth as a mirror, exhibiting a glass-like appearance as if it had been melted by an instantaneous high temperature.

The molten lava flowed slowly within it, like blood.

Boom! ! !

Boom! ! !

The massive body, now severed in two, lost all support and tilted heavily to the left and right, crashing to the ground and kicking up clouds of dust.

The Tailed Beast's immense life force dissipated rapidly, like a deflated balloon, at a speed visible to the naked eye!
The Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, who was directly above the Three-Tails' head and was the first to be hit, was completely vaporized by the extreme heat the moment the lava slash struck his body.

No trace of its existence was left behind.

Rumble, rumble—! ! !
Even more shocking is...

After completely tearing the Three-Tails apart, the power of the lava slash barely diminished, continuing its unstoppable advance and slamming into the massive mountain behind the Three-Tails, Isobu!

The entire mountain appears as if it were cleaved in two by a giant axe, leaving a straight, smooth, and enormous cut surface from the summit to the foot of the mountain!

Immediately, the mountain groaned under the strain and collapsed to the left and right!

Countless tons of boulders poured down like a waterfall, quickly burying the mangled body of the Three-Tailed Isobu, which had been split in two.

Thick clouds of dust billowed into the sky like a sandstorm.

Dust obscured the sky and blocked out the sun!

As everything gradually calmed down, the rubble settled, and the dust settled... the entire world fell into a deathly silence.

Only the gurgling sound of lava flowing through the ravines and the crackling of flames that had not yet been completely extinguished in the distance reminded people that a battle far beyond the imagination of ordinary ninjas had just taken place here.

Three-tailed Isobutsu - Death!
Yagura the Karatachi – Death!
[Ding! You have successfully executed Absolute Justice! You have received a Chakra boost reward! Congratulations on obtaining—]

【①: "Tailed Beast Ball"! Even if you are not a Tailed Beast, you can still create a Tailed Beast Ball with power based on the amount of chakra by hand through subtle manipulation of the ratio of Yin and Yang chakra.】

【②: "Water Release: Water Mirror Technique!" This technique creates a mirror made of water that reflects the enemy's attack and counters with the same force.】

……

far away.

Tachibana Jiro, Izumi, and Biwa Juzo, who were fleeing for their lives, suddenly stopped at almost the same time.

The devastating sense of crisis receded like a receding tide. When they turned back, they witnessed firsthand the divine punishment-like strike and the instantaneous destruction of the Three-Tailed Beast's skin and water shadow.

Pipa Juzo first stiffly turned his head and glanced at the distant places on both sides that had been leveled by the aftershocks of the Tailed Beast Ball.

The scorched earth, a scene straight out of hell, made his eyes twitch slightly.

His gaze then fell upon the massive mountain that had been cleaved in two and completely collapsed.

His usual icy expression could no longer be maintained. Carrying the Executioner's Blade, he subconsciously swallowed and murmured in a dry voice, "This... why does it feel like Uchiha Ikezumi still has some strength left? The Fourth Mizukage plus the power of a fully transformed Tailed Beast, how come it feels like he couldn't even force Uchiha Ikezumi to use his full strength?"

That last strike completely shattered all of Biwa Juzo's understanding of "power".

That's no longer a battle between ninjas!
At the same time, a huge question uncontrollably arose in his mind: "Since he possesses such overwhelming power, he could have easily subdued the Fourth Mizukage and the Three-Tails in a simpler and more discreet way. Why did he have to make such a big fuss?"

Tachibana Jiro has reverted to his fat ninja cat form.

It licked its paws, thoughtfully speculating, "Meow, Lord Ikezumi's actions are probably not just about upholding justice; it's more like a warning. In the most direct and impactful way, he's informing all the ninjas of Kirigakure, and indeed the entire Land of Water—"

It paused, a knowing glint in its cat eyes: "Tell them—Absolute Justice has arrived in the Land of Water!"

"There are only two paths before all the Hidden Mist ninja."

Jiro Tachibana continued in a strange tone, "One option is to follow the example of the Fourth Mizukage and choose to oppose absolute justice, then... this is the consequence; the other option is... to cooperate obediently, and perhaps there is still a way to survive."

"of course."

Jiro Tachibana added, "If they are villains tainted by evil, then no matter what they choose, they will only face death."

Pipa Juzo was taken aback upon hearing this: "This..."

He stared at the apocalyptic scene before him, which looked as if it had been bombarded by a swarm of meteorites, and his lips twitched slightly: "This kind of 'warning'... is a bit too exaggerated..."

Uchiha Izumi, who was standing nearby, immediately chimed in, "But this is very much in line with Izumi-senpai's style of doing things! He dislikes trouble and roundabout games the most."

"If a single impactful 'demonstration' can intimidate potential enemies and save countless troubles in the future... then Senior Ikezumi will definitely show his 'muscle' without hesitation."

Recalling her experience in Konoha Village, she said earnestly, "This is probably why Senior Ikezumi always made quite a splash whenever he carried out his duty of justice in the village."

And the effect was very noticeable in the eyes of the girl.

Many ninja clans and high-ranking members of Konoha had long been deeply awed by the immense power of Senior Ikezumi.

Izumi's gaze swept across the scorched earth, finally landing on Kirigakure: "Now, Izumi-senpai has shown your Kirigakure the power of absolute justice in the most direct way."

"Now, it's up to the ninjas of Kirigakure to make their choice."

Pipa Juzo: "..."

……

On the other side, at the moment when the collapsing mountains completely buried the remains of the three-tailed creature.

After their pupils constricted sharply, Terumi Mei and Ao were still in shock.

Almost without hesitation, they rushed towards the direction where the mountain had collapsed.

They pushed their speed to the limit, braving the falling rocks from the sky, still clinging to a sliver of hope.

When he rushed into the vicinity of the collapsed mountain about one kilometer away, Qing suddenly stopped, the veins around his eyes bulging violently, and he activated the perception of his white eyes to the extreme!

His vision instantly pierced through layers of rocks and billowing smoke.

They quickly scanned the ruins.

However, the next second...

Qing was frozen in place, as if she had been put under a spell, completely still.

His face drained of color, and was filled with disbelief and horror.

Terumi Mei's heart sank suddenly, and she naturally noticed the change in the expression on Qing's face.

She asked, "Ao! How is Lord Mizukage?"

Ao mechanically turned his head, his voice hoarse with extreme shock, and murmured, "The Mizukage's chakra reaction has completely disappeared! He... is dead!"

"And the Three-Tails... the Three-Tails' massive chakra is also rapidly dissipating. This means... the Mizukage and the Three-Tails Isobu were killed at the same time by that Lava Release beast from Konoha!"

Mei Terumi: "!!!"

Despite having a premonition, she still felt a strong sense of disbelief when the death was confirmed.

So much so that he seemed somewhat dazed.

Although she anticipated that the Mizukage might not be a match for Uchiha Ikezumi, and might even be defeated and killed.

But she never expected the process to be so swift and efficient.

This is not a battle at all; it is a one-sided, crushing massacre!

From beginning to end, the Mizukage probably didn't even have a chance to touch the hem of the other's clothes!

The power that Uchiha Izumi displayed... had exceeded her understanding of the limits of the concept of "ninja".

Mei Terumi also discovered that she didn't feel much sadness in her heart.

More than anything, there was shock and horror...

Perhaps, deep down, the Fourth Mizukage who constantly deepened the Blood Mist policy and led Kirigakure into an even more closed and dark period was not the Mizukage she willingly served.

Think of this.

Mei Terumi had mixed feelings.

"Terumi Mei-sama..."

Suddenly, Qing's voice rang out again, this time filled with uncontrollable shock: "That, that monster... seems to be looking this way!"

what? !

Mei Terumi was jolted awake from her chaotic thoughts, a chill instantly shooting from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.

Almost instinctively, she raised her head and gazed at the towering, crimson Susanoo in the distance.

Beneath the helmet of the fully-formed Susanoo were two enormous eye sockets burning with cold, karmic flames...

It seems that we really traveled a distance of several thousand meters.

It pinpointed their exact location!

Mei Terumi instantly broke out in a cold sweat.
