Konoha: The Absolute Justice of the Uchiha

Chapter 217 The Shocking Zabuza
Zabuza Momochi finally dragged his heavily injured body back to Kirigakure. Blood was seeping from the makeshift bandages wrapped around his body, and his pale face was filled with weakness.

But at this moment, he had no time to care about his injuries or whether they would endanger his life.

He didn't immediately rush to the Hidden Mist Hospital in the Hidden Mist Village to seek medical treatment from the ninja team.

because……

He was staring in utter shock at the devastation that lay before him in the Hidden Mist Village!
In Zabuza Momochi's sight, under the hazy moonlight... a wooden sphere several hundred meters in diameter with spiral stripes covering its surface stood quietly in Kirigakure, beneath which seemed to be a large pool of still-wet blood!
Even from a considerable distance, the strong stench of blood could be clearly smelled by Zabuza Momochi.

Zabuza Momochi couldn't fathom how many people had died to create such a strong smell of blood.

Hundreds of people? Or thousands?
If this were anywhere else, it would be fine, but this is Kirigakure!
After what seemed like an eternity of shock, Zabuza Momochi finally snapped out of his daze. He gritted his teeth and continued to drag his heavily injured body, limping hurriedly toward the interior of the village.

Soon.

Zabuza Momochi saw a few scattered corpses of Kirigakure ninja lying on the ground.

The vast majority of the corpses had their heads cut off, separating the body from the head.

It was clear that he was killed in one blow, without even a chance to fight back.

As he walked further and got closer to the huge, eerie wooden sphere, the number of corpses on the ground increased.

But suddenly they arrived at a certain area, and everything in front of them became desolate, with no corpses left.

But the land in front of Momochi Zabuza was also in a terrible state of chaos!
The ground looked as if it had been plowed over and over by iron tools, with the soil beneath being turned up and covered with deep, bottomless cracks, and blood could be seen flowing into the cracks.

And this time.

Zabuza Momochi finally saw a living person.

"Loquat... Ten Treasures..."

His hoarse voice attracted the attention of Juzo Biwa ahead. When Juzo Biwa turned around carrying the Executioner's Blade, he saw Zabuza Momochi, who was dragging his heavily injured body and standing there with difficulty.

"You're still alive..." Juzo Biwa didn't hide the shock on his face. But his shock wasn't because he saw Zabuza Momochi was still alive. It was because he was stunned by Izumi Uchiha's Wood Release technique, which had instantly killed a large number of Kirigakure ninjas!

Zabuza Momochi gritted his teeth, blood still trickling from the corner of his mouth: "What happened? What... happened in the village?"

Upon hearing this question, Juzo Biwa's expression became somewhat complicated as he said, "What you see before you is what happened in the village. It's roughly about... Uchiha Ikezumi wanting to cleanse Kirigakure of its sins, while some stubborn individuals attempted to oppose absolute justice. As for the fate of those stubborn individuals..."

Pipa Juzo turned to look at the huge wooden ball and said slowly, "You should have seen a small part of it on the way here. As for the rest, I hope they still have a complete body. Perhaps they have already turned into nutrients for the trees."

Zabuza Momochi was stunned.

He didn't know what to do, and could only ask a question blankly: "How many ninjas died in the village?"

Pipa Juzo shook his head and said, "I don't know, maybe two or three thousand?"

Zabuza Momochi: "..."

Among the five great ninja villages, Sunagakure and Kirigakure are the weakest.

Originally, Kirigakure was able to overpower Sunagakure, but with the continuous implementation of the Blood Mist policy and the decline of Kirigakure, Kirigakure's combat strength has become almost equal to that of Sunagakure.

Currently, the entire Hidden Mist Village probably only has around three thousand ninjas. Now, Juzo Biwa is telling him that two or three thousand ninjas have died in the Hidden Mist Village?
Are there a thousand ninjas left in that village?
Or are there only a few hundred people left?

This……

This is already comparable to some small ninja villages of average strength!

Has Kirigakure completely fallen to the bottom of the five great ninja villages?
Even Zabuza Momochi, now known as the "Demon," felt a chill run down his spine. He couldn't imagine... just how bloodthirsty and cruel a person must be to kill two or three thousand Kirigakure ninjas in an instant without batting an eye?
This is not a time of war!
Just because...

That so-called absolute justice?!

Zabuza Momochi's fists were clenched tightly without him even noticing. His muscles, which were so exhausted that he was almost about to cry out, were trembling slightly. His clenched teeth indicated that he was not at peace.

At this time.

Zabuza Momochi suddenly heard Juzo Biwa's voice again: "The Kirigakure ninjas killed by Izumi Uchiha were all those who chose to support the Blood Mist policy and the Fourth Mizukage."

Zabuza Momochi was taken aback, and his tightly clenched fist seemed to loosen a little.

Then, Juzo Biwa continued, "Uchiha Ikezumi has actually given them several chances. They have had several opportunities to make the right choice. They could have openly opposed the continued implementation of the Blood Mist policy, or they could have cooperated with Uchiha Ikezumi to dismantle the Blood Mist policy of Kirigakure."

"But they didn't do that. They were tough, but they were tough in the wrong place. In their minds, the reason Kirigakure was so powerful was because of the Blood Mist policy. They believed that only the Blood Mist could allow Kirigakure to gain a foothold among the Five Great Shinobi Villages."

"Uchiha Ikezumi only decided to kill them all after realizing they were completely beyond redemption. Otherwise... it would have been enough to kill some villains who deserved to die anyway."

As Pipa Juzo spoke, the shock on his face gradually faded, and his tone became calmer: "Since they have made their choice, they have stood on the opposite side of absolute justice."

"Since they ignored Uchiha Ikezumi's warning and the opportunity he gave them..."

"They won by paying the price with their lives. If such stubborn people were alive, they would only bring huge obstacles and trouble to the implementation of justice."

"They will only keep Kirigakure stuck in the blood mist."

The anger on Zabuza Momochi's face had completely dissipated.

He was silent.

Because at that moment, he found himself actually agreeing with the "magma monster's" approach! Those stubborn fools should all be killed one by one!
"so……"

Zabuza Momochi couldn't help but ask, "The Fourth Hokage and all his supporters have been killed?"

Pipa Juzo replied, "Perhaps some have slipped through the net, after all, there are still quite a few ninjas on missions outside. But there won't be many left."

Zabuza Momochi slowly took a deep breath.

He suddenly felt that the pungent, nauseating smell of blood had suddenly become pleasant.
