Konoha: The Absolute Justice of the Uchiha

Chapter 218 Mei Terumi, You Already Have the Answer in Your Heart

But just then, Juzo Biwa's voice suddenly turned slightly cold, which startled Zabuza Momochi.

"I know you're not satisfied with the Fourth Mizukage and the Blood Mist policy either. But don't think you can finally breathe a sigh of relief or feel fortunate just because he was killed by a member of the Uchiha clan and because most of those who supported the Blood Mist policy are dead."

Kirigakure's Juzo gazed at Zabuza Momochi and slowly spoke to this junior from Kirigakure: "Demon. I've heard about some of your ways of doing things. On the issue of the Blood Mist policy, you share the same stance as me and Uchiha Ikezumi."

"But in other respects, your stance is completely different from ours. In Uchiha Izumi's eyes, you are one of the villains. Don't tell me that you, as a member of the Kirigakure Anbu, haven't done anything evil."

"Killing on the battlefield may not be considered a crime, but when you were helping the Fourth Mizukage carry out ninja missions... can you really say with a clear conscience that you didn't cross any lines?"

A warning and question from Pipa Juzo.

This silenced Zabuza Momochi.

He could clearly sense that the man in front of him, Juzo Biwa, was emanating a murderous aura directed at him.

The opponent already had the decapitation sword in his hand.

Clearly, Juzo Biwa had sided with the Konoha ninja, and he was well aware of the Konoha ninja's ways. His existence was something that Konoha ninja could not tolerate.

"Heh..." But the next second, Momochi Zabuza, whose body was exhausted to the extreme and who had no strength left to leave Kirigakure, suddenly laughed.

He even smiled with a hint of relief.

"Juzo Biwa. Even if you were once a senior I respected, you can't look down on my magnanimity like this." Zabuza Momochi grinned maliciously, raising his head to stare directly at Juzo Biwa.

"For someone like me, the only meaning of life is to kill the Fourth Mizukage! To dismantle the Blood Mist policy!"

"My inner plans and my secret actions were all preparations for assassinating the Mizukage. Now that he's been killed and the Blood Mist policy has been basically dismantled, the meaning of my life of mere survival is gone."

"Do you think I'm afraid of death? Are you deliberately reminding me so I'll fight my way out and save my life? Heh, if Uchiha Izumi knew you did this, he definitely wouldn't trust you anymore!"

Having spoken so much in one breath, Zabuza Momochi seemed to have aggravated his internal injuries, and coughed a few times.

He reached up and wiped the blood that was already stained his chin.

His other hand had somehow reached for his ninja tool pouch and pulled out a kunai.

Zabuza Momochi gripped his kunai tightly, panting heavily, and stared intently at Juzo Biwa: "My life will not end at the hands of a Konoha ninja. Juzo Biwa, if you're willing to be a dog of the Konoha ninja, that's your choice, and I have no right to interfere."

"Let me see what the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist are like..."

puff-

Before Zabuza Momochi could finish speaking, he felt that the figure of Juzo Biwa in front of him suddenly became very blurry, as if he had disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Zabuza Momochi murmured absentmindedly, "That was fast... but if I hadn't been injured, I definitely would have been able to react in time..."

It fell with a clang.

The kunai in his hand had fallen to the ground, and Zabuza Momochi collapsed, his blood splattering all over the damp ground beneath his feet.

Juzo Biwa had somehow found himself standing behind Zabuza Momochi.

He stared at the blood gradually being absorbed by the decapitation blade, then sighed softly.

……

the other side.

Mei Terumi, Ao, and Genji have already met Uchiha Ikezumi again.

To be honest, when this clean-cut, blood-stainless Konoha Uchiha ninja stood before them, even the most senior and respected master in Kirigakure felt a sudden surge of nervousness.

'This old man actually felt unprecedented pressure from such a young man. It's unbelievable.'

Master Yuan sighed inwardly.

I feel that the era that belongs to my generation has passed.

just now……

The ninja world has become the stage for these young people.

"Your Excellency..." Master Yuan said to Uchiha Ikezumi, "You have already killed the incompetent Fourth Mizukage of our village, as well as many stubborn individuals who supported the Blood Mist policy, leading to the increasing decline and backwardness of Kirigakure and the Land of Water..."

With just a few words, Master Yuan defined the events in Kirigakure that day and who was right and who was wrong on both sides.

He paused, then continued, "Then...shouldn't the killing stop?"

Uchiha Ikezumi glanced at the elderly man.

He said slowly, "Do you believe that the evils of Kirigakure or the Land of Water have been completely eradicated?"

Master Yuan was taken aback.

"...It's been completely eradicated, hasn't it!" After thinking for a moment, Master Yuan nodded solemnly. At least that's how he saw it, since it seemed that only the Blood Mist Policy had been hindering the development of the Land of Water and the Hidden Mist Village, and it was also the Blood Mist Policy that had been harming the people.

Uchiha Izumi then looked at Terumi Mei: "And you? Do you think it's over?"

When the question was passed to Mei Terumi, Genji was already sweating profusely, because he felt that he might have answered incorrectly.

Mei Terumi also realized that Master Genji had given the wrong answer.

She could only forcefully swallow the words "It's over" that were stuck in her throat.

With a tense, pretty face, she replied, "Not yet!"

"Where is it not over yet?" Uchiha Ikezumi asked again.

The problem is, how could she know that it wasn't over yet? So many people have already died, is there really no end to the evil in Kirigakure?
So where else can evil exist?

Does this man intend to kill everyone in the entire Hidden Mist Village? What can I do to prevent the Hidden Mist Village from being completely destroyed by Uchiha Izumi?
Just as Mei Terumi was sweating profusely... suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck her.

But she hesitated.

"You seem to have the answer already, why don't you say it?" Uchiha Ikezumi took a few steps forward, now very close to Terumi Mei.

This extremely close distance caused cold sweat to pour from Mei Terumi's palms.

"besides……"

Mei Terumi gritted her teeth. Whether it was her inner will to survive or some other reason, she finally gave up her hesitation.

She said, "And... those who profited from the Blood Mist policy! And those who took advantage of the chaos the Blood Mist policy brought to the Land of Water... to commit evil deeds. The vast majority of these people are those who wield some power... or those who hold a certain position within the Land of Water..."

"To be precise... it was that group of merchants, nobles, and daimyo!"
