Konoha: The Absolute Justice of the Uchiha

Chapter 83 The Daimyo's Envoy from the Land of Fire

Koharu Utatane squinted and said, "I heard that Fugaku also revealed his Mangekyou Sharingan last night. Before that, he had been hiding this secret. Does he have some strange intentions?"

Mitokado Homura shook his head: "The fact that Uchiha Ikezumi is out of control is already enough to give us a headache. Since Fugaku is openly on our side, let's not question him."

"correct……"

Mitokado Homura stood up, looked out the window at the devastation in the distance, and said, "The envoy sent by the Daimyo of the Land of Fire should be arriving in Konoha soon. It's best to prevent him from meeting Uchiha Ikezumi. After all, someone so high and mighty must have done some unspeakable and shameful things in private."

"And Uchiha Izumi's eyes can see through the evil of the past and the evil of the future. If he were to encounter an envoy sent by the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, I'm afraid... something terrible would happen."

Xiaochun was immediately startled when she turned to the next room.

"We definitely need to be careful."

She agreed.

……

"The Mangekyou Sharingan... is my trump card for maintaining the balance between the Uchiha clan and the village. I wouldn't have revealed it if I hadn't seen Izumi awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan."

Fugaku stared at Itachi Uchiha, who was wearing an Anbu mask, and said in a slightly somber tone, "Itachi, do you think... I would use these eyes against the Konoha you love?"

When the kaleidoscope was revealed, Fugaku had already anticipated this day.

after all……

Itachi would never allow any powerful force that could threaten Konoha and was potentially uncontrollable to exist.

This……

Perhaps that's why this child has such a strong character.

"If you don't trust me, would you have turned your ninja sword against your father, Itachi?" Fugaku's tone was calm, yet the question he posed was chilling.

But the atmosphere seemed like a casual conversation between a father and son.

"Yes." Itachi Uchiha was very frank.

Fugaku said, "But the fact that you haven't made a move yet means that, at least for now, you believe I won't attack Konoha. Perhaps you should also believe that I can completely resolve the conflict between the Uchiha clan and Konoha, and then..."

A complex emotion flickered across Fugaku's expressionless face: "There's no need to fall into the tragic future that Ikezumi described."

Itachi paused for half a second, then said, "Father, you may understand your own position. But... you can't understand the position of the other members of the Uchiha clan."

"They are terminally ill and beyond saving. How many people can truly wake up to this situation?"

Suddenly, Itachi changed the subject, forcing a smile, and asked, "Has Sasuke woken up?"

Fugaku nodded: "He's awake. He's awakened the Sharingan. What you said that day really affected him."

Itachi said slowly, "This is for his own good."

Silence fell between father and son once again.

In the blind spot at the corner of the corridor, Uchiha Mikoto stood against the wall, two lines of clear tears slowly streaming down her beautiful eyes.

Her eldest son...

They had become so unfamiliar that she couldn't recognize them.

……

"As the head of the Uchiha clan! As the patriarch of the Uchiha family! He possesses the legendary power of the Sharingan, yet he hides it from his clansmen, instead attempting to use this powerful force to suppress them! What right does Fugaku Uchiha have to lead the Uchiha clan!"

Uchiha Setsuna was furious and gritted his teeth, saying, "He, the clan leader, has completely disgraced our Uchiha clan!"

Even if other ninja clans have members who turn against their own side, they are at most just junior members of the clan.

But what about the Uchiha clan? Two clan members who openly betray their own clan are the clan head and his eldest son!

In the eyes of a hawkish elder like Uchiha Setsuna, those two were nothing short of parasites of the Uchiha clan!
It made the Uchiha clan a laughing stock.

"And that Uchiha Ikezumi..." If Fugaku and Itachi were merely people whom Uchiha Setsuna hated so much that he wished he could replace them in the clan.

Uchiha Izumi wished he could kill him as soon as possible!
Because he could sense that the brat also wanted to kill him!
That day, the killing intent in Uchiha Ikezumi's eyes...

He, Uchiha Setsuna, was absolutely not mistaken!
however……

"Elder Setsuna, Uchiha Ikezumi has awakened the legendary power of the Sharingan. He is also a genius with two bloodline limits. We can definitely support him and make him the new leader of the Uchiha clan!"

Upon hearing the suggestion from a radical young Uchiha ninja, Uchiha Setsuna's old face immediately darkened.

But before he could even speak, other Uchiha members chimed in.

“Last night, Uchiha Ikezumi even dared to use his Sharingan technique on Shimura Danzo in front of the Third Hokage. At that time, he was surrounded by many Anbu ninjas. Such magnanimity is enough to prove that he is qualified to lead the Uchiha clan.”

Uchiha Setsuna's eyelids twitched wildly.

Another radical Uchiha ninja pondered, "Although Uchiha Izumi's stance is somewhat different from ours, compared to Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Itachi, who are biased towards outsiders, he should be the only candidate, right?"

Another person complained indignantly, "Damn it, that ingrate Itachi Uchiha has disappeared recently, we can't find him anywhere."

"Hmph! This bastard is going to kill us in the future, he's probably just afraid we'll kill him before he does!"

Uchiha Setsuna, sitting in the main seat, gripped the armrests of the chair so tightly that the wooden armrests even developed several cracks from his grip.

These guys...

Why don't you even consider me?
I have spent countless years in prison for the sake of the Uchiha clan!
Even if it's about forcing Fugaku to step down, even if it's about electing a new clan leader, shouldn't it be Uchiha Setsuna who steps up to the forefront?

……

the other side.

"Meow, newbie, why are you dawdling?" Tachibana Jiro has been treating Izumi's shoulder like his second home these past few days. As soon as he sees Izumi, he jumps right onto her left shoulder.

Quan's left shoulder visibly sank down.

Tachibana Jiro said, "If you're late, Ikezumi-sama will give you negative points."

With a ninja sword in one hand and a sandwich in the other, Izumi hurried along, stuffing the sandwich into her mouth as she went.

Her cheeks puffed out as she mumbled an explanation: "As soon as I got back last night, I was surrounded by a lot of people from my tribe. They wanted me to tell them in detail about Senior Chi Quan..."

"So much so that I had to keep talking to them until late at night, which resulted in me only getting less than two hours of sleep."

"Of course!"

Quan immediately added, "There are some secrets about Senior Ikezumi that I haven't revealed to them. I've noticed that those clansmen seem to have a lot of admiration for Senior Ikezumi..."

"I was thinking of seeing if I could pick out some people with potential from among them, since the senior said last night that we should expand the camp of absolute justice."

As Izumi ran, she suddenly noticed that many people in Konoha, from ninjas to civilians, were discussing what had happened the night before.

Upon closer listening, it turns out they are all related to Senior Chi Quan.

It seems that Senior Chi Quan has become famous once again.
