Konoha: The Absolute Justice of the Uchiha

Chapter 31 Do You Want to Become a Rogue Ninja? Uchiha Ikezumi!

root base.

"Lord Danzo, the location of Uchiha Izumi is very likely a secret research base outside the village!" A Root ninja reported to Danzo, bowing his head and kneeling.

He added, "It's that secret base outside the village that the Third Hokage ordered to be built a few years ago, where many of Orochimaru's research personnel were 'kept' inside."

After being reminded by this Root ninja, Danzo also remembered.

The monkeys did indeed establish such a base outside the village.

At that time, he still wanted to get involved, after all, Danzo was responsible for at least a third of the research data and researchers that Orochimaru was able to leave behind.

As a result, he was ruthlessly rejected by that old bastard monkey.

The monkeys even joined forces with Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado to put pressure on Danzo, forcing him to abandon his idea.

these past few years.

Danzo had considered having Root members infiltrate the base, but unfortunately, the monkey guarded the secret research base very closely, leaving him no chance to succeed.

"Ah."

Danzo suddenly became gloating, a mocking smile appearing on his lips.

Gazing at the lava falling in the distance, he muttered mockingly to himself, "That inherently evil Uchiha brat... has finally harbored evil thoughts towards the 'Hokage.' Monkey, I warned you long ago, you'll regret it if you don't get rid of him."

The Root ninja, kneeling on the ground, hesitated and asked, "Lord Danzo, should we, the Root, get involved?"

Danzo narrowed his eyes.

A murderous intent suddenly arose within him.

He had long wished he could tear Uchiha Izumi to pieces.

"Do not."

Danzo said with a sinister look in his eyes, "Let Uchiha Izumi cause trouble. The bigger the trouble he causes, the deeper the conflict with the monkey will become. If I remember correctly, that base is guarded by Sarutobi Shinnosuke. Heh heh... that naturally evil Uchiha brat is now in conflict with the monkey's eldest son!"

"What we need to do... is to stop all those who want to get involved and stop the conflict."

"Pass on my orders!"

"—All Root members, mobilize! Guard all exits from Konoha. Except for the Anbu ninjas around Monkey, no one is allowed to leave the village!"

"Yes!"

The group of Root ninjas quickly transformed into afterimages and left the Root base.

……

"Dad, that must be some kind of ninjutsu used by someone, right?"

On a rooftop of the Nara clan's residence.

At only seven years old, Nara Shikamaru already has a rather precocious expression, with a world-weary look on his face. Coupled with a pair of dead fish eyes that are different from those of his peers, it makes people doubt his real age.

"Ah."

Nara Shikaku, standing on the roof with his son, his hands half-in his pockets, said with a deep gaze, "It's Lava Release."

"...Molten Release?" Shikamaru was taken aback.

Nara Shikaku slowly said, "Have you heard of Uchiha Ikezumi?"

Shikamaru nodded: "I've heard of him. He seems to be a very troublesome person. Many people in the village are afraid of him. However, it seems that there are also some people who respect him."

"so……"

Shikamaru asked, "Is this the ninjutsu used by Uchiha Ikezumi?"

Nara Shikaku nodded and said, "That's most likely it. And that location... the Hokage is probably going to have a headache tonight."

He didn't choose to run over and see what was going on.

He had already realized it. It was a murky place he shouldn't touch.

The Nara clan would be better off avoiding trouble.

……

"I heard that Hiruzen has personally led the Anbu out."

Koharu, taking advantage of the night, found Mitokado Homura's house.

She said to Mitokado Homura, "I knew that Uchiha Ikezumi was a menace. With his so-called 'absolute justice'... I'm afraid everyone in the research base is a thorn in his side."

"Unfortunately, Hiruzen repeatedly indulged him. I can't understand what use such an uncontrollable Uchiha could have that made Hiruzen value him so much."

With his hands behind his back, Mitokado Homura said in a deep voice, "He is indeed a menace, but he is also a double-edged sword. Hiruzen tolerated him because Uchiha Ikezumi's 'absolute justice' was extreme enough."

"At least... we can't deny that Uchiha Izumi did indeed make some people with bad intentions restrain themselves a lot."

Koharu Utatane said, "But he went too far this time, daring to attack even a secret research base!" Homura Mitokado said, "This time, I advise Hiruzen to be ruthless. Before, when Izumi Uchiha was relatively weak and still within the village's control, we could still grasp this double-edged sword and make good use of it. But now..."

A flicker of apprehension crossed his eyes: "He has gradually grown powerful."

The last Uchiha they both felt was out of control was named "Uchiha Shisui".

Uchiha Shisui was feared by them because of his eyes.

The main reason why Uchiha Ikezumi was so feared...

It is the kind of absolute justice that doesn't care about village politics at all.

……

boom! ! !
boom! ! !
boom! ! !
The continuously falling lava caused the entire secret research base to tremble violently, and raging flames had already broken through the ceiling above the secret base.

Inside the base, Shinnosuke Sarutobi realized that the base was probably already riddled with holes.

The entire base was almost completely destroyed, and many important scientific research devices were likely melted down by the magma.

"Uchiha Izumi! Are you insane?!"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke ripped off the cumbersome Anbu mask from his face.

At this moment, it was clear that his facial skin was scalded by the steam in the air, giving it an unnatural red flush.

Furthermore, one could see that his face, which bore a resemblance to Hiruzen Sarutobi, was filled with rage.

"This is Konoha's base! I don't know why you know those things, but I can tell you that everything I and my subordinates have done is for Konoha!"

"We have lived up to the Will of Fire, we have lived up to our fallen ancestors, and we have lived up to everyone in Konoha!"

"The people who died because of everything we did weren't from Konoha, or even the Land of Fire. What are you, Uchiha Ikezumi, meddling in?!"

"Where is your loyalty to Konoha, your 'Absolute Justice'? Are you going to become a rogue ninja, Uchiha Izumi!"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke roared in fury.

Uchiha Ikezumi stood up. The surrounding lava did not harm him at all, and he calmly gazed ahead.

Drops of magma dripped from his body.

"Shinnosuke-sensei, my belief in 'absolute justice' has never stemmed from loyalty to Konoha. Whether I am a rogue ninja or not is not something you can determine with just a few words."

Uchiha Ikezumi was walking forward.

"It's precisely because you were once my mentor Jonin that I'm saying so much to you, so that you can die knowing why."

Suddenly, Uchiha Ikezumi appeared in front of an ANBU ninja in a flash, and before the ninja's eyes could shrink in horror, he had already sliced ​​off half of the ANBU ninja's head with one hand.

—This is the ANBU ninja whose feet were burned away by the lava; he no longer has the ability to hide.

"I believe in [absolute justice] because I feel that the ninja world has become so sick and twisted that it breeds countless evils, filling the ninja world with pain and tragedy..."

Uchiha Izumi's body suddenly became transparent, as if he had vanished into thin air.

This was the first time he had used the Moonlight Clan's "Transparent Escape" technique!
This caused the remaining ANBU ninjas to hurriedly look around.

They are trying to find traces of Uchiha Ikezumi's sudden disappearance.

Until his voice rang out behind a member of the Anbu ninja.

"And this evil includes, but is not limited to, daimyo who impose exorbitant taxes, high-ranking officials who are blinded by power, beasts who slaughter entire clans, and brain-dead sycophants... including what you, Shinnosuke-sensei, have done."

"Well!!!"

The ANBU ninja suddenly groaned and looked down in horror at the large hole that had inexplicably appeared in his chest.

"When [justice] is absolute enough..."

Uchiha Izumi unleashed a magma projectile from a distance, instantly engulfing an ANBU ninja who was attempting to form hand seals.

"Only then will the 'evil' of the ninja world be eradicated."

Uchiha Ikezumi unleashed torrents of magma from his arms, which surged like a tsunami towards the other three Anbu ninjas who could see nothing but feel the heat waves rushing towards them.

When all that remained before him was Shinsuke Sarutobi, clutching half a ninja sword, his face filled with shock and horror…

Uchiha Ikezumi then released the Transparent Release.

"I... I've fallen for your Sharingan genjutsu?"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke stared wide-eyed, unable to believe that anyone could have three bloodline limits. He instinctively felt that he might be under a genjutsu.
