Konoha: The Absolute Justice of the Uchiha

Chapter 71 Uchiha Chiquan’s Kaleidoscope

Hiruzen Sarutobi felt he finally understood what Izumi was trying to do.

His face turned ashen as he was lifted up.

Uchiha Ikezumi, Shimura Danzo, Uchiha clan ninjas, Hyuga clan members, Anbu ninjas... Facing the gazes of all sorts of people, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt utterly miserable.

His initial solution was to publicly remove Danzo from his post, thus saving Danzo's face and making him more restrained in the future so that he would not cause any more trouble.

If it were in private, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt he could come up with this solution.

however.

With everyone watching and him being put on hold, simply removing Danzo from his post was no longer enough to end the situation!
Insisting on one's own opinions will only greatly diminish one's reputation as Hokage.

This would further alienate the bloodline limit ninja clans within Konoha from him, the Third Hokage. After all, some of Danzo's actions had crossed the line for these bloodline limit ninja clans.

In that brief moment, countless thoughts flashed through Hiruzen Sarutobi's mind.

"call……"

He gave Uchiha Ikezumi a deep look, took a deep breath, and broke the eerie silence in a deep voice: "Shimura Danzo is suspected of framing village ninjas multiple times, stealing the Uchiha clan's bloodline limit, and secretly researching Wood Release cells to kill multiple infants... Today, I will not only remove him from his position as leader of Root!"

With Danzo's eyes wide open, Hiruzen Sarutobi clenched his fist, then relaxed it, and said coldly, "In addition to punishing him for his multiple crimes, Shimura Danzo shall be sentenced to life imprisonment! At the same time, all illegal gains of the Shimura clan over the years shall be confiscated!"

"From this day forward, Shimura Danzo will no longer hold any position in Konoha Village, nor will he enjoy any freedom! Ikezumi, this is my answer to you regarding 'absolute justice'."

Hiruzen Sarutobi ignored Danzo's incomprehensible, angry glare.

He stood in front of Uchiha Ikezumi, confronting the young Uchiha.

"Ikezumi, I hope you can understand my predicament." Hiruzen Sarutobi said in a low voice with deep emotion, "Danzo is the root of Konoha. His death will chill the hearts of many people in the village."

Hiruzen Sarutobi lowered his stance, feeling that he had already taken a step back.

Tonight... this young man won.

There was nothing he could do.

"Third Hokage." Uchiha Ikezumi stared intently into Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes, his gaze filled with murderous intent, and slowly said, "The wronged souls who were directly or indirectly killed by Danzo Shimura will also feel disheartened. Justice has already been delayed, yet you still want to prevent its belated judgment?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi gritted his teeth: "Ikezumi, don't be so aggressive! I have my reasons as Hokage. You are only concerned with your own sense of justice, but I have to consider the interests of the entire Hidden Leaf Village."

Suddenly, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a scorching heat wave rushing towards him from the front.

His eyelids twitched.

They saw that lava was dripping from one of Uchiha Ikezumi's arms!

moment!

A large number of ANBU ninjas surrounded Uchiha Ikezumi and Sarutobi Hiruzen, while some of the ANBU ninjas blocked the Uchiha clan's police force.

The scene became tense once again, and the atmosphere of tension spread, making everyone present tense up.

This time, it wasn't a tense standoff between Uchiha Ikezumi and Shimura Danzo.

It was his conflict with the Third Hokage!
"Ikezumi!" Fugaku pulled back a member of the Uchiha police force who was about to rush forward. He squeezed into the encirclement of Anbu ninjas alone, walked to Hiruzen Sarutobi's side with a stern face, and said to Uchiha Ikezumi, "You need to think carefully about what you are doing! I know you are doing this to uphold justice, but if you clash with the Hokage, you are betraying Konoha!"

Fugaku was also taken aback by the sudden burst of murderous intent from Uchiha Ikezumi.

He was more worried than anyone else about any member of the Uchiha clan getting into a violent conflict with the Hokage.

I apologize, Ikezumi, so that the Uchiha clan may be safe and sound.

Tonight...

I can only stand on the Hokage's side.

Fugaku took a deep breath, his gaze hardening, and immediately warned the restless Uchiha police officers on the periphery: "Without my orders, no one is allowed to act rashly!"

He knew that his behavior of siding with outsiders as the clan leader would arouse resentment among the clan members.

But someone always had to bear the pressure of maintaining the Uchiha's future. Itachi, for the sake of Konoha, was willing to do such a thing.

Willing to bear the endless insults from the entire Hidden Leaf Village.

As Itachi's father, he did it all for the sake of the Uchiha clan, simply to face the criticism from his own clan members...

It's already much easier for him than for Itachi.

……

"What is the head of the Fugaku family doing? It's clear that Ikezumi-senpai is right. Is it wrong to judge Shimura Danzo, who has committed numerous evil deeds, and to execute absolute justice?"

Quan was completely dumbfounded.

She originally thought that even if the head of the Fugaku family did not openly support Ikezumi-senpai when he arrived at the scene of the conflict, he would at least not stand on the side of evil and not be on the opposite side of Ikezumi-senpai.
But things didn't go as planned.

Izumi realized that she couldn't understand the thought process of the Uchiha Fugaku family, nor could she understand the Hokage's thought process!
They are all crazy!
"Lord Ikezumi's assessment of the cowardly Fugaku has been correct from beginning to end."

Tachibana Jiro sat on Izumi's shoulder, his cat face full of disdain and contempt: "Lord Izumi once said that cowardly Fugaku has the Mangekyou Sharingan. In my opinion, giving him such power is a complete waste, meow."

"Meow, newbie, these guys are enemies of [justice]." Tachibana Jiro said earnestly, "You should be able to see how difficult it is for Lord Ikezumi to enforce absolute justice in Konoha, right?"

"The entire Hidden Leaf Village is a bunch of insects that hinder justice. With them around, the ninja world will never be good. That's why Lord Izumi said things like, 'One day we will wipe out the ninja world.'"

……

"Ha, things are getting interesting again. What an ugly scene."

In Obito Uchiha's view, standing at the very center of the crowd in the distance were four people: Izumi Uchiha, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo Shimura, and Fugaku Uchiha.

Then, a group of Anbu ninja surrounded the four of them. It seemed that the entire Anbu of Konoha had been mobilized.

The next layer was the Uchiha clan's police force, which was blocked by a large group of ANBU ninjas.

The outermost layer consists of ninjas from various ninja clans or ordinary ninjas.

At least a thousand ninjas have gathered in one area!
What Obito saw was a huge powder keg, but he couldn't see where the fuse was for the time being.

……

Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at Fugaku Uchiha, who had chosen to side with him, with surprise.

He nodded gratefully to Fugaku, then shouted in a deep voice, "Guards! Take the sinner Shimura Danzo away from me! He will not miss a single punishment I promised him tonight! This is my promise as the Third Hokage!"

“Chiquan, you should be satisfied with this result. Danzo can no longer cause trouble for you.”

Hiruzen Sarutobi then spoke to Izumi Uchiha.

"Ikezumi, people need to learn to grow through compromise." Fugaku took another step forward, his three-tomoe Sharingan already revealed. Although he didn't directly display the Mangekyou Sharingan, he would not hesitate to activate it if Uchiha Ikezumi made any unusual moves.

Fugaku sighed: "One day you will understand my predicament and what I am carrying."

“Is that so… What if justice doesn’t compromise?” Uchiha Izumi and Fugaku looked at each other.

His eyes also revealed the scarlet three-tomoe Sharingan.

Seeing this, Fugaku frowned: "Ikezumi, don't force me. You know I don't want to be your enemy."

But next second.

Fugaku's three-tomoe Sharingan suddenly contracted.

He was horrified to discover that the tomoe in Uchiha Ikezumi's eyes were visibly changing shape!

This is……

kaleidoscope!!!
