Konoha: The Absolute Justice of the Uchiha

Chapter 213 The Power of Absolute Justice

In addition to the Uchiha clan crest, the ninja uniforms from the Konoha Police Force also bear the unique symbol of Konoha Village.

Every Hidden Mist ninja present saw it all clearly.

If it weren't for Mei Terumi and Ao leading the way, causing the Hidden Mist ninjas in the shadows to hesitate for a moment, they probably would have already grabbed their ninja tools and swarmed forward.

After all, the Hidden Mist Village, which has been affected by the Blood Mist policy for many years, is extremely xenophobic.

Any ninja from an outer village who dares to set foot on Kirigakure's territory without an invitation from the village's higher-ups will only face certain death.

At this time.

A Jonin from Kirigakure, surrounded by several Kirigakure ninja, approached with a furrowed brow. He first glanced hostilely at Juzo Biwa, Izumi Uchiha, and Izumi Uchiha, then looked at Mei Terumi with some confusion.

"Lady Terumi Mei, may I ask what's going on?" The Kirigakure Jonin's tone sounded somewhat cold and numb at first glance, as if years of killing had made him forget most of his emotions.

While keeping a close eye on Mei Terumi, he did not let his guard down: "If I remember correctly... not long ago, the Mizukage led more than thirty Kirigakure ANBU to hunt down the rogue ninja Juzo Biwa."

"But……"

"Why are the people who have returned now... Mei Terumi and Ao? And why is Juzo Biwa, who was being chased, here as well? And why are there two Konoha ninjas with them?"

"Where is the Mizukage? Where are the Anbu ninjas? Mei Terumi, the villagers demand a reasonable explanation from you."

The other party's aggressive questioning made Terumi Mei take a deep breath.

Mei Terumi looked around and could sense that many Hidden Mist ninjas were hiding in the shadows, and even she, a fellow villager, was on guard.

Clearly, because of Juzo Biwa and the two Konoha Uchiha ninjas, many ninjas in the village no longer trusted him.

But the problem is...

Mei Terumi was at a loss for words to answer the other party's question for a moment.

Are we supposed to announce in front of so many people that the Mizukage was killed by Uchiha Ikezumi, while Ao and I watched the entire murder from the shadows without offering any help?
That kind of behavior looks too much like that of a rogue ninja!
Just as Mei Terumi was speechless, a cold and indifferent voice suddenly rang out from behind her: "Because the Mizukage is already dead, killed by me, it's that simple."

Uchiha Ikezumi finished speaking.

Mei Terumi's entire face froze, and Ao next to her felt a chill run down her spine.

These two couldn't have imagined that Uchiha Ikezumi would dare to say such a thing in front of so many Kirigakure ninja!
This……

Is this the kind of audacity that allows a ninja to attempt to assassinate the daimyo of the Land of Fire?
Then, Mei Terumi discovered that the nearby Hidden Mist ninjas were indeed somewhat taken aback by Izumi Uchiha's words.

Under the cover of night, in both the light and the shadows, countless gazes were focused on Uchiha Ikezumi.

"Hey! Konoha ninja! What are you saying?!"

At this moment, a Hidden Mist ninja with a face covered in hideous scars widened his eyes, took a few steps forward, and questioned, "You need to know where you are! The Hidden Mist Village is not a place where a Konoha ninja like you can just spout nonsense! If it weren't for Lady Terumi Mei's sake, you would already be a corpse!"

Mei Terumi: "..."

Mei Terumi wanted nothing more than to kick this guy. Couldn't he just leave her alone? If she were targeted by Izumi Uchiha, she didn't know if she could even withstand a single attack from him.

Uchiha Izumi ignored the man, disregarded the hostile gazes around him, and paid no attention to how many Hidden Mist ninjas were lurking and ready to make their move within the Hidden Mist Village.

At this moment, he spoke to himself, "The Blood Mist policy of Kirigakure has plunged the entire Land of Water into extreme poverty, backwardness, disorder, and suffering... This place, even the damp air with its mist, is filled with the aura of evil."

"Whether it's the high-ranking officials of Kirigakure who implemented the Blood Mist policy; the ignorant ninjas and commoners who supported it; the nobles, daimyo, and ninja clans who profited from it; or those who took advantage of the chaos in the Land of Water to commit unforgivable crimes..."

"They are all unforgivable sinners."

The moment Uchiha Izumi uttered those somewhat incomprehensible words to the ears of many ninjas in Kirigakure.

It felt as if the surrounding air was gradually warming up.

This made many elite ninjas from Kirigakure feel that something was amiss.

This also caused Mei Terumi, who was closest to Uchiha Ikezumi, to shrink her pupils.

Because it sensed intense heat emanating from behind it!
"This guy..." Mei Terumi was sweating profusely. She could clearly sense the killing intent emanating from Izumi Uchiha.

Uchiha Izumi's voice continued: "Countless blood mist villains have completely distorted the moral values ​​of the entire Land of Water, rendering the concept of justice nonexistent. Lacking justice and order, the Land of Water has become a cradle for countless villains, breeding unbearable evils every moment."

"Hey! What are you babbling about?" Sensing that the atmosphere was getting a bit tense, a Kirigakure Jonin tried to interrupt Uchiha Ikezumi.

Unexpectedly, the eccentric Konoha ninja walked towards him while talking.

As Uchiha Izumi walked, he said, "As long as these Blood Mist villains are not eradicated, the Land of Water will remain mired in the abyss of sin. Countless innocent people will continue to struggle in this hellish environment..."

"When the survival of ordinary people becomes an unsolvable problem, and no one in the entire country cares, it means that the place is almost beyond saving."

His calm gaze fell upon every Hidden Mist ninja within his field of vision.

"Fortunately... in this hopeless and sinful environment, there are still a few outcasts. The existence of these few people gives Kirigakure, this 'severely ill patient,' a glimmer of hope for salvation."

By this point, Uchiha Ikezumi was already standing in front of the Hidden Mist Jonin, the distance between them less than three meters.

"Hey! Konoha ninja! Stop! Don't come any closer!"

Sweat was beading on the forehead of the Kirigakure Jonin; he couldn't tell if it was from nervousness or from the heat.

He felt that the temperature nearby was very high. Logically speaking, the weather was almost winter, and the temperature in Kirigakure should not be like this!

Such an unusual phenomenon...

This made him nervously place his hand on a ninja sword at his waist.

Be ready to draw your sword at any time.

"Kirigaya Tetsuzo." When Uchiha Ikezumi uttered a name, the pupils of the Kirigakure Jonin contracted.

Before he could speak again, Uchiha Ikezumi continued, "Do you remember the last time you killed someone? Was it a mission assigned to you by the village? Or did you just feel itchy and slaughter an entire family of five in a certain place in the Land of Water?"

this moment.

The Kirigakure Jonin named Kirigaya Tetsuzo was unaware of what Uchiha Ikezumi was about to do, but Terumi Mei and Ao behind him did.

Qing, realizing what was happening, was shocked and immediately shouted, "Uchiha Ikezumi, please wait a moment..." But it was too late. The moment he uttered those words...

Kirigaya Tetsuzo's arm, which was resting on the hilt of his sword due to nervousness, was suddenly snapped with a "crack," and then everyone heard the sound of a ninja sword being drawn.

The next second, you'll see Kirigaya Tetsuzo's head, frozen in astonishment, slide off to one side, blood spurting from the broken neck!

All that could be seen was the empty scabbard of the ninja sword that Kirigaya Tetsuzo had been hanging at his waist.

And that ninja sword had somehow appeared in Uchiha Izumi's hands!
"First."

Uchiha Ikezumi's cold voice snapped all the Kirigakure ninjas back to their senses, and pairs of eyes filled with disbelief stared at Uchiha Ikezumi.

No one expected that a ninja from Konoha would dare to kill someone on Kirigakure's territory!
And he killed a Hidden Mist Jonin in an instant!
It's worth noting that this Konoha ninja was brought back to the village by Mei Terumi.

What's going on with Lady Terumi Mei?

"Lord Tetsuya!!!" The several Kirigakure ninjas following behind Kirigakure were shocked, but also displayed the discipline expected of ninjas. They immediately drew their ninja swords and charged towards Uchiha Ikezumi without hesitation.

Mei Terumi tried to stop the group of Kirigakure ninja, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she suddenly saw a blurry flash of light as a blade passed by.

They discovered that Uchiha Ikezumi's figure had suddenly vanished.

Mei Terumi quickly shifted her gaze and saw that Uchiha Ikezumi was standing behind the group of Kirigakure ninja who were charging towards him!

The ninja sword he had snatched was already stained with thick blood!
Bang bang bang bang bang...

The bodies of the Mist Ninjas froze on the spot, and then, as if all their strength had been drained, they all collapsed.

Almost all of these Hidden Mist ninjas were now headless corpses!
When their bodies fall, their heads separate from their bodies.

The strong smell of blood assaulted everyone's nostrils.

The reason I say "almost" is...

It's because there's one survivor.

The only survivor had both arms severed, and he collapsed to the ground in terror, staring blankly at the severed ends of his elbows, seemingly unable to comprehend what had happened. A Chunin from Kirigakure, he was now completely stunned, as if paralyzed with fear.

"Wait! No one is allowed to make any sudden moves!!!" Upon seeing this, Mei Terumi shouted these words at the top of her lungs.

But she was clearly not speaking to Uchiha Ikezumi, but to a group of Kirigakure ninjas who were hiding in the shadows, shocked and ready to attack.

pity.

Mei Terumi's influence and prestige in Kirigakure are not yet as great as they will be in the future.

Upon witnessing their fellow villager being killed by Konoha ninja, the Hidden Mist ninja, hidden in the shadows, revealed themselves, filled with murderous intent! They would not allow a Konoha ninja to act so arrogantly within the Blood Mist Hidden Mist Village; how could they possibly save face for their village?!
All of a sudden.

Layers upon layers of illusory mist rapidly spread throughout the Hidden Mist Village, and within the mist, figures seemed to be darting about at high speed, as if searching for an angle and opportunity to strike.

"……Oops."

Terumi Mei was drenched in cold sweat.

Of all the people present, probably only he and Qing knew that Uchiha Izumi was someone who should not be easily provoked!
She had witnessed the terrifying, world-destroying battle firsthand; this man was even more powerful than a tailed beast!
Moreover, he's someone whose thought process is quite different from that of a normal ninja.

They might actually raze Kirigakure to the ground!

And the other party definitely has that capability!
"...The Land of Water has been closed off from the world for too long, and the ninjas in the village haven't had much contact with the outside world for several years. They have no idea what kind of power the ninjas of Konoha possess!"

Mei Terumi's expression turned grim as she immediately said to Ao beside her, "Ao! Go find Master Genji right now! Now that the Mizukage has been killed, he's the only one left who has the authority to command the village!"

"If the village ninjas consider Uchiha Izumi as an enemy, they will only face certain death!"

Qing nodded immediately, without saying anything more, turned and ran, disappearing into the thick fog.

……

"...He's really decisive. He doesn't even bother to listen to what others are saying..."

Upon witnessing this scene, Hibiki Juzo took a deep breath.

He did not forget that he was a rogue ninja from Kirigakure, nor did he forget that he had chosen to stand on the side of Uchiha Ikezumi.

However, just as he picked up his decapitation sword and prepared to join the battle...

Suddenly, Quan stepped forward and blocked his way.

Pipa Juzo was taken aback.

The girl from Konoha then spoke up, saying, "You will mistakenly kill those Kirigakure ninja who are not villains."

Pipa Juzo: "???"

what?
Just as he was completely bewildered, Izumi explained softly, "Do you know why Senior Izumi spared one of his lives? It's because the other party wasn't a villain, and his motive for attacking you wasn't malicious. So you only severed his arms, not his life."

"Because the senior has the ability to see through the evil in others. In the eyes of Senior Ikezumi, the sins of all the ninjas in Kirigakure cannot be hidden. The senior has always been very clear about who must die and who can be spared and given a chance."

Pipa Juzo was taken aback again.

So... does Uchiha Izumi actually give others a way out?

Oh!
correct……

If Uchiha Izumi really killed just anyone, then it seems impossible for me to have survived until now.

Suddenly, he saw the girl in front of him draw her ninja sword from her waist.

Before Juzo Biwa could even ask, Izumi explained as he walked forward, "I also possess the power to see through the evil in others; this power was bestowed upon me by Senior Izumi."

"Just a friendly reminder, if you are sincere enough in your pursuit of absolute justice, you too will have this power."
