Konoha: The Absolute Justice of the Uchiha

Chapter 81 Are you questioning absolute justice? Kakashi!
Kakashi saw a burning flame behind Uchiha Izumi, which spread backward in a straight line for dozens of meters.

A broken ninja sword lay at the opponent's feet.

This made him even more certain that Uchiha Ikezumi had just been fighting someone.

Wait! This location seems to be...

Kakashi was suddenly startled. Wasn't this the location of Rin's grave?
His gaze quickly shifted to a tombstone beside Uchiha Ikezumi, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he found that the tombstone was intact.

A bouquet of fresh white flowers placed beside the tombstone caught Kakashi's eye for half a second, a hint of confusion in his eyes. He looked at Uchiha Ikezumi with astonishment, as if he had discovered something extraordinary.

That's not right... Rin and Uchiha Ikezumi are not in the same grade. Rin is three years older than Ikezumi!

I hadn't noticed any connection between these two before!

Before Kakashi could speak, Uchiha Izumi's voice rang out calmly: "The flowers were planted by Uchiha Obito."

The moment Kakashi realized what was happening, he froze for a second.

Kakashi: "???"

“…Obito?!” Kakashi almost instinctively turned his gaze to another tombstone not far away.

That's Obito's tombstone.

"You don't recognize Obito Uchiha, do you? Kakashi Hatake?" Tachibana Jiro's sharp and strange voice rang out at this moment: "If I remember correctly, you and he are both students of the Fourth Hokage, right?"

Kakashi recognized Tachibana Jiro; this was Uchiha Izumi's ninja cat, and one of his ninja dogs had been beaten up by this cat before.

When the topic of "Obito" came up, Kakashi temporarily set aside the purpose of his trip to meet with Uchiha Izumi and said, "You may have misunderstood something. Obito... he died at the hands of enemy village ninjas during the Third Shinobi World War."

"Then let me ask you, is his body in the grave?" Tachibana Jiro's rhetorical question made Kakashi instinctively shake his head.

Because this is a cenotaph, Obito's body could no longer be found.

There wasn't even any ashes, along with soil, under the tombstone.

"Kakashi Hatake." Tachibana Jiro leaped onto Kakashi's shoulder, almost causing Kakashi's shoulder to sink.

—What a fat cat!
This is a sentence that Kakashi didn't say.

Tachibana Jiro's four cat paws pressed against Kakashi's profile mask. He squinted his cat eyes and questioned, "Are you questioning Lord Ikezumi? Do you think Lord Ikezumi would lie to someone like you? Are you questioning [Absolute Justice]?"

Kakashi was stunned for a moment.

He suddenly recalled... the rumor that Uchiha Ikezumi's eyes could see through information that others couldn't. They could also see through the evil of others' past and the evil of their future.

Plus.

Tonight, Uchiha Ikezumi displayed the terrifying power of his Mangekyou Sharingan in front of many people.

This further enhances the credibility of Uchiha Ikezumi's ability to "see through evil with his eyes".

Kakashi was confused.

His purpose in coming to meet Uchiha Ikezumi was not for any particular ulterior motive; he simply wanted to thank the man in person.

Although it was too late, Uchiha Izumi at least allowed Kakashi to uncover the inside story of his father's death.

Although he had been living in a daze all these years, even closing himself off from the world and unwilling to mention the name "Sakumo Hatake" in front of others, some malicious conspiracy theories would always flash through his mind, but he had no evidence.

Until tonight, when one of Danzo's "crimes" was revealed by Uchiha Ikezumi, and Danzo's defenses were immediately broken...

Kakashi chose to believe Uchiha Ikezumi.

Yes!

Since you believed Uchiha Izumi's claim that her father's death was related to Danzo, why did you instinctively not believe it when the other party said that Uchiha Obito was still alive?

Is it...

Is Obito really alive, just as Uchiha Izumi said?!
"Obito Uchiha didn't die." While Kakashi was still stunned in shock, Tachibana Jiro said with a disdainful look, "Moreover... not only did that guy not die, but he also became a deeply sinful villain. Lord Ikezumi said that the 'evil' on Obito Uchiha was so much that it was almost turning black."

Tachibana Jiro's tone was low and gloomy. Kakashi could even smell that the cat had definitely eaten fish today, because its mouth was full of fishy smell.

“Oh, right, meow.” Tachibana Jiro added, “Lord Ikezumi just said that Obito Uchiha once turned his sword against the Fourth Hokage. Perhaps the Fourth Hokage’s death is related to him, meow.”

Kakashi: "!!!"

Kakashi was struck dumb.

……

Outside the leaves.

Obito had already left Konoha Village in a hurry, but the unease brought to him by Uchiha Izumi was still hard to calm down.

He looked down at his hand, which was missing a third of its length.

The burning pain that came from time to time made him take a deep breath.

"Obito, don't make an enemy of that person for now." Zetsu's voice came from behind: "He's very powerful. His Mangekyou Sharingan is also very strange, a kind of eye technique I've never heard of before. Without absolute information, making an enemy of him will be very disadvantageous."

As he spoke, a white Zetsu clone separated from Zetsu's body.

Obito pulled out a kunai and casually slashed it, severing a small part of the White Zetsu clone's hand.

Obito gritted his teeth and cut open the charred and carbonized part of his wound, and bright red blood began to flow out.

He grafted the hand of the White Zetsu clone onto his own hand.

Thanks to the powerful healing abilities of the First Hokage's Wood Release cells, the bleeding from his hand stopped in just a few breaths. Without even needing to be manually secured, half of the White Zetsu clone's hand had already grown back onto his, the flesh and bone connecting seamlessly.

He didn't listen to a single word Jue said.

He had only one question—how did Uchiha Izumi know so much about him? Did he learn it from someone else? Or did he learn it through his eye technique?

While thinking.

Obito glanced thoughtfully at Zetsu.

"Hey, hey, hey..." Zetsu immediately understood what he meant and said with dissatisfaction, "I am a special being born from Lord Madara's powerful will, and you are a descendant of the Uchiha who inherited his will. How could I possibly betray you?!"

"Hmph...it's best if it's not."

Obito snorted coldly, his face darkening.

……

"Chiquan...Your Excellency."

Kakashi knew that Uchiha Izumi was barely his junior, but he couldn't call her by her name directly, since they weren't familiar with each other and their strength was probably quite different.

Kakashi already believed 90% of what Tachibana Jiro said.

Perhaps this is one of the benefits of Uchiha Ikezumi's consistent adherence to "absolute justice." At least in terms of "credibility," Uchiha Ikezumi is definitely number one in Konoha.

Kakashi took a deep breath; he could no longer remain calm.

Although the ninja cat Tachibana Jiro no longer speaks, its words continue to echo in Kakashi's mind.

It made him unable to calm down.

Kakashi's voice was filled with barely suppressed urgency: "Could you tell me something about...about Obito's evil deeds and sins?"
