This Uchiha is really evil!

Sarutobi Hirio walked up and slapped Sarutobi Jiro hard in the face!

Snapped!

Sarutobi Jiro was knocked to the ground, and slap marks instantly appeared on his face, which quickly became swollen.

"Father, you..."

"You bastard! Don't think I don't know. You killed someone's daughter, didn't you?!"

The crowd watching did not expect such a scene. They were shocked and happy at the same time.

"Well done, Chief Rixiong!"

"This little bastard should be killed for the sake of justice!"

"kill him!"

"kill him!"

Jiro Sarutobi covered his face with his hands, his eyes wide open, his face full of panic and fear, as if he didn't recognize his father anymore.

"Father, I, I didn't mean it..."

"It wasn't intentional? Then why did you kill someone's daughter?!"

"Say!"

The pressure from Sarutobi Hirio burst out from his body. Not only Sarutobi Jiro, but everyone felt the terrifying aura coming towards them, like a mountain pressing down on their heads, with a strong wind blowing, making people suffocate.

"I, I'm just practicing..."

"No, that's right. I'm just practicing the family's fire ninjutsu, the Great Flame Technique..."

"My subordinates all say that the legendary Brilliant Flame Technique, when practiced to perfection, can unleash extremely high-temperature flames, even capable of burning a person to ashes in an instant. They also say that my Brilliant Flame Technique has reached its peak, and I can definitely do the same..."

The onlookers seemed to understand something, and they couldn't help but reveal expressions of extreme grief and anger, and their fists clenched involuntarily.

Sarutobi Hitomi's expression also changed drastically: "So, you are using someone else's daughter as a test subject for your ninjutsu?!"

"No, no!"

"Those subordinates said something seemed to be moving in the bushes, maybe a hare or a deer, so they asked me... to test the power of the Haoyan Jutsu..."

"The result..."

"A scream was heard, and I, I realized that it was actually a person..."

"Besides, my Haoyan Jutsu isn't as powerful as they claim. It can't instantly burn someone to ashes. I could only watch helplessly as the girl screamed heartbreakingly in agony as the flames burned her. She ran towards us, screaming and howling. I'll never forget that scene..."

The victim's family couldn't bear to hear him confess in person and describe the tragic scene at that time.

"Beast! I'll fight you!"

The man who was taking care of his mother roared, his eyes red, and rushed towards Sarutobi Jiro.

however……

Sarutobi Hirio stopped him easily.

"...I understand your feelings. After all, I'm a father too. But..."

"Until this matter is fully investigated, please be patient and don't act too impulsively. In the name of the head of the Sarutobi clan, I promise to handle this impartially. Please trust me, okay?"

"me……"

How could the father remain calm? He knew he was no match for these people, so he could only tearfully say, "Chief Rixiong, please give us an explanation. Otherwise, my daughter, she died tragically..."

"She's only eleven!"

Sarutobi Hirio shook his hand righteously.

"Don't worry! I will definitely give you justice!"

"Okay... okay... thank you very much..."

Sarutobi Hirio turned around and faced his son, but his expression suddenly changed.

"According to what you just said..."

"You didn't know there was a person in the bushes?"

"So, you accidentally hurt him?"

Sarutobi Jiro's face changed!

Although he was arrogant and domineering, he was not a fool. How could he not realize that his father was saving his life?!

Everyone around was stunned at the same time, and instantly realized that everything Sarutobi Hiyao had just done was just a show...

He still has to protect his son after all!

Chapter 9 Wrong

Sarutobi Hirio's words were like a bolt from the blue to the victims' relatives!

"Chief Rixiong, you...what did you say..."

The victim's father asked tremblingly, his eyes seemed to have dried up with tears, his expression dull and numb...

Sarutobi Hitomi ignored him and stared at his son.

"You didn't do it on purpose. You thought there was a rabbit in the bushes, so you wanted to test the power of the Haoyan Jutsu."

"So, this was a case of manslaughter..."

"Yes or no?!"

No matter how stupid Sarutobi Jiro was, he finally reacted at this time.

He nodded frantically and screamed, "Yes... yes!"

"Father, I know nothing at all. This is all just an accident!"

Sarutobi Hirio nodded.

"I see……"

"It seems that this is a tragedy that was born unexpectedly..."

"Oh, it's so heartbreaking!"

He turned around and held the father's hands tightly, like iron hoops, making him unable to move at all.

"As a father myself, I feel your grief!"

"Don't worry, even though it was just an accident and manslaughter, I will definitely give you justice!"

"I will discipline this little bastard strictly and make him pay the price and understand the sins he has committed!"

"As for your daughter... the dead cannot be resurrected..."

"However, no matter how much compensation you want, I will do my best!"

The victim's father was completely dumbfounded.

However, the excruciating pain in his hands left him speechless...

"You... you..."

At this moment, the old woman who fell to the ground crawled over desperately.

"You beasts!"

"We don't want compensation. No amount of money can bring back our granddaughter's life!"

"I...we just want this little bastard to be buried with my granddaughter..."

She was dressed in tattered clothes, her eyes full of grief and despair. She struggled to crawl forward and hugged Sarutobi Hirio's trouser legs tightly. Her gray hair was messy like weeds.

Sarutobi Hitomi frowned, a flash of murderous intent passed through his eyes, and then he quickly regained his composure.

He sighed: "Mother-in-law, I deeply understand your feelings, but..."

"When will the injustice be repaid?"

"Besides, Jiro only killed someone accidentally and didn't intend to hurt your granddaughter..."

"Don't worry, he will not give less punishment than he deserves!"

"However, you can't resort to lynching out of anger. If everyone does that, wouldn't the world be in chaos?"

"You think so?"

There was chaos and noise all around.

however.

The old woman's shrill cries still echoed through the sky.

"Just because you are ninjas and we are civilians, do we have to suffer such unfair treatment?"

"Just because you are the clan leader and that beast is the clan leader's son, and we are just ordinary people with no power, can you kill him without paying any price?"

"this way……"

"Is it right?"

"You tell me, you tell me..."

“Is that right?!”

She was filled with grief and despair, and her cries reached the sky but then disappeared into the dust.

There was silence.

There was silence.

No one answered.

Only Sarutobi Jiro had a hint of a smile on his face.

……

"wrong!"

In the dead silence.
