Konoha: The Absolute Justice of the Uchiha

Chapter 34 The Standoff Between the Uchiha Clan and Root

"Senior Ikezumi, that... Anbu ninja named Sarutobi Shinnosuke, was he your teacher? Um... did he have a close relationship with the Third Hokage?"

Along the way, Quan felt that Senior Ike Quan was walking very slowly.

The awkward silence made her feel slightly uncomfortable.

She mustered her courage to break the silence and cautiously asked.

"He used to be my mentor jonin."

Uchiha Ikezumi said, "A few years ago, when the Third Shinobi World War broke out, he took me to the battlefield. His surname is Sarutobi, so he must be related to the Third Hokage. He was the Third Hokage's eldest son."

spring:"!!!"

The conversation between Senior Izumi and that ANBU ninja during their battle was actually somewhat unclear, and Izumi didn't hear it all.

After all, she wouldn't even dare to get close to that level of combat.

She never expected that Sarutobi Shinsuke was the Hokage's eldest son!

Quan couldn't help but swallow hard, feeling his palms sweating.

No matter how much I wipe it, it won't dry.

Because this is practically equivalent to offending the Third Hokage to death, right? But Izumi was also a little confused. Why did the Hokage just let her and Izumi-senpai leave like that?
The Hokage clearly came with so many Anbu members, looking like he was there to demand an explanation.

"Then, the Hokage-sama, he..."

Before Izumi could even voice her concern, Uchiha Izumi interrupted, saying, "Don't worry. The fact that the Third Hokage didn't choose to keep me here means he respected Shinnosuke-sensei's dying wish."

He glanced at the anxious Izumi and said, "You don't need to worry about ANBU ninjas sneaking up to your bedside in the middle of the night."

It seems that Senior Chi Quan has seen through my thoughts again.

"Oh!"

Quan nodded hesitantly.

She didn't really understand the undercurrents involved, nor did she know when the Hokage's eldest son had left his last words.

But since Senior Chi Quan has already said that everything is fine.

So it's probably nothing to worry about, right?
Just then, Quan felt her head drop down as if something heavy was pressing down on her, causing her to gasp in surprise.

Then a strange voice rang out above her head: "Meow. Newbie, just let Lord Chiquan have some peace and quiet for a while, stop asking all these questions, meow!"

Quan immediately fell silent.

In the small group of two people and one cat, her status is probably the lowest.

Not even as good as a cat.

“You don’t need to overcomplicate things,” Uchiha Izumi said calmly. “Sarutobi Shinnosuke went down the wrong path and was already in the abyss without realizing it. Until the moment of his death, he finally understood something, but he still had no regrets.”

"The ninja world has become so sick that even an elite Jonin feels that falling into the abyss is no big deal. Such examples will happen countless times simultaneously in different places in the ninja world."

"Newcomer, this is your fourth lesson."

"No matter what high-sounding excuses others give to 'evil,' you must steadfastly uphold absolute justice, even if it means turning your blade against the people you know best."

Izumi remembered every word Uchiha Ike Izumi said.

"Understood, senior!"

She said seriously.

……

at the same time.

Konoha.

"Lord Danzo, what is the meaning of the Root organization?"

Fugaku Uchiha was leading a group of Uchiha police officers in a standoff with Danzo Shimura and his Root group.

The Uchiha police officers behind him glared angrily at the Root ninjas in front of him.

The atmosphere at the scene was extremely tense, a situation on the verge of conflict.

Fugaku's face darkened as he stared directly at Shimura Danzo, his tone stiff as he said, "Uchiha Ikezumi, a member of the Uchiha clan's police force, encountered an emergency outside the village that required support. It's perfectly reasonable for me to lead the rest of the police force to assist him, isn't it?"

"On the contrary, Lord Danzo... you've brought so many Root ninjas to stop us, what are you trying to do?"

While talking.

Fugaku's gaze kept drifting towards the bandages on Danzo's body.

He remembered what Uchiha Ikezumi had told him about Danzo's trump card.

If Chi Quan is not mistaken, then beneath these white bandages might be one Sharingan after another!
A shadow fell over Fugaku's eyes.

"Hmph!" Danzo turned to the side uncomfortably. Judging from Fugaku's reaction, he knew that the naturally evil Uchiha brat must have told Uchiha Fugaku about this.

damn it!
That brat really is the biggest scourge in the village. I wonder if that monkey guy got rid of him.

Danzo did not back down an inch; there was no way he would let Fugaku go to support Uchiha Ikezumi.

Danzo coldly replied, "The Hokage has already led the Anbu to 'provide support,' so there's no need for your Uchiha clan to interfere. Furthermore, your law enforcement authority is limited to Konoha Village. As for areas outside Konoha Village, your Uchiha police force has no law enforcement authority whatsoever."

When facing the Uchiha clan, Danzo did not have the concept of "speaking properly."

Fugaku was stunned.

He gave Danzo a deep look and said, "With reinforcements from the police force, the Hokage will be able to resolve this matter more quickly. Lord Danzo, please allow our police force to leave the village to provide support."

Danzo's eyes turned slightly cold as he said, "Fugaku! Are you going to disobey orders from above?"

The Root ninjas behind him had already placed their hands on their ninja tools.

The Uchiha clan ninjas immediately became alert.

"You..." Just as a younger, more radical Uchiha ninja was about to speak, Fugaku quickly stopped him.

Fugaku gave him a warning look.

Subsequently.

He then said to Danzo, "If our Uchiha clan loses a genius with two bloodline limits because of Danzo's delay, I will definitely report it to the Hokage."

Danzo gave a cold snort.

At this time.

A Root ninja who had been observing the distance suddenly walked up to Danzo and said, "Lord Danzo, the commotion over there has stopped for more than ten minutes. If I'm not mistaken, the Hokage and the others have arrived, and they have been there for some time and stopped the fight using some unknown means."

Fugaku also heard the voices of the Root ninjas.

He frowned.

Danzo smirked, his goal already achieved. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Fugaku, it seems it's over over there. Are you still going to gather so many Uchiha here? Or... do you have other plans, Fugaku?"

Fugaku clenched his fist.

But then it loosened its grip.

"Dismissed!" He took a deep breath, his face expressionless, and said to the group of Uchiha clan ninjas behind him.

"Master!" Many Uchiha ninjas were extremely unwilling.

It's not necessarily true that they genuinely wanted to leave the village to support Uchiha Ikezumi.

More often than not, it's because they feel extremely annoyed and upset by the lack of trust.

"Disband!"

Fugaku gritted his teeth and repeated it.
