Chapter 57: Sasuke, This Is Absolute Justice
“Lord Danzo, per your orders, Root and the Shimura Clan have already stirred up the public opinion in Konoha.”
Inside the Root Base, a Root Ninja was half-kneeling at this moment, reporting today’s situation to Shimura Danzo.
“Now, unfavorable public opinion about the Uchiha Clan has spread rampantly and has reached an increasingly uncontrollable level.”
“I’m afraid even if the Hokage steps in, he won’t be able to control this public opinion.”
“Lord Danzo, your goal has been achieved.”
After hearing the Root Ninja’s report, Danzo’s gloomy old face, which had been shrouded in gloominess these days, finally revealed a hint of smug cold laughter.
Danzo equally hated every Uchiha brat born with evil.
Including Uchiha Ikeizumi.
Including Uchiha Fugaku.
Including Uchiha Itachi…
For Danzo, as long as there was anything unfavorable to the Uchiha Clan, he would personally step in to lend a hand. Of course, the so-called help was not to support the Uchiha Clan, but to add insult to injury from behind the scenes, fan the flames, and gloat over their misfortune.
“The Uchiha Itachi who will kill the entire clan in the future…” Danzo’s eyes narrowed slightly: “Indeed, he’s a rather special Uchiha. And precisely because of that, I must make you completely stand against the Uchiha Clan, make you thoroughly isolated by the Uchiha.”
Danzo couldn’t wait for Uchiha Itachi’s “Future Evil” to happen ahead of schedule.
Best if tonight was the Night of the Uchiha Clan Downfall.
Then he would have to celebrate properly.
However…
“Uchiha Ikeizumi… his eyes…” Danzo clenched his fist, the smug cold smile on his face receding, his gaze gloomy, his expression flickering as he said: “Could he really have awakened the legendary eyes identical to Shisui’s? But the abilities he possesses are different from Shisui’s abilities?”
Danzo felt that Uchiha Ikeizumi’s Sharingan Dōjutsu, which could see through “Past Evil and Future Evil,” was truly chilling.
It was equivalent to no one having any secrets in front of Uchiha Ikeizumi; he alone would grasp the most complete intelligence in the entire Ninja World!
But compared to Uchiha Shisui’s “Kotoamatsukami”.
Uchiha Ikeizumi’s Sharingan ability seemed less impressive?
Though Danzo was somewhat wary.
But he wasn’t afraid.
Of course, unusual thoughts naturally arose.
Shrouded in darkness, Danzo muttered to himself: “Letting a Uchiha brat born with evil master this power they shouldn’t have always feels unsettling…”
……
A certain street in Konoha.
“Let me tell you, the Uchiha Clan is probably already flowing with rivers of blood by now! That Uchiha Itachi definitely has mental problems; the entire Uchiha Clan has mental problems. He’s gone mad with killing.”
A “Konoha civilian” was vividly embellishing today’s rumors with added details.
His serious demeanor left the few people opposite him stunned.
But at that moment, someone suddenly interjected.
“That… didn’t you say the Uchiha Clan was already wiped out by Uchiha Itachi? Then who’s behind you?”
This sentence made that “Konoha civilian” pause.
In the instant he hastily turned back, cold sweat poured from his back, and certain pupils contracted slightly.
Uchiha Ikeizumi!!!—This name suddenly flashed in his mind.
“Aburame Keiya.”—This name slowly came from Uchiha Ikeizumi’s mouth.
Aburame Keiya, one of Root’s elites, nearly had his breathing stall.
Before he could react further, Uchiha Ikeizumi’s voice continued: “Half a year ago, you transported large quantities of prohibited addictive drugs for Root and sold them, with extremely vile conduct.”
“Two years ago, you secretly murdered a Konoha Ninja who impeached Shimura Danzo, and also murdered his wife and daughter, then destroyed the bodies.”
“Five years ago…”
As Uchiha Ikeizumi’s words echoed one after another.
A indescribable shock flashed in Aburame Keiya’s eyes.
The rumors… were true! Uchiha Ikeizumi’s special eyes could really see through a person’s Past Evil!
Even his identity had been exposed!
“This guy is actually a Root Ninja?!” Senior Izumi, who followed closely, looked at Aburame Keiya in shock. She didn’t know if it was her stereotype, but Root Ninjas didn’t seem like good people in Lord Ikeizumi’s eyes.
Aburame Keiya already realized things were not good.
With his identity exposed by Uchiha Ikeizumi, countless tiny insects had already emerged from his fingertips.
The surrounding true Konoha civilians also sensed the atmosphere was off.
They hurriedly retreated, wanting to stay away from this trouble.
Mainly to stay away from Uchiha Ikeizumi, the “Plague God” of the Police Force.
Sasuke, who was trailing at the end, also felt the atmosphere was a bit off.
He looked at the tense Aburame Keiya.
He couldn’t help but ask Senior Izumi beside him: “Is he a criminal?”
While cautiously watching Aburame Keiya, Senior Izumi subtly shielded Sasuke behind her and whispered: “If Senior Ikeizumi says he’s a criminal, he is, and one who’s committed many evils.”
Sasuke was astonished and confused, not understanding why Senior Izumi trusted this guy named Uchiha Ikeizumi so much.
But he could sense that a “capturing a criminal” scene was about to unfold in front of him.
Sasuke looked at Uchiha Ikeizumi’s back.
He wanted to see what ability this person, whom he hated for once wanting to kill his brother, had that made Mother and his brother successively warn him not to approach.
“Aburame Keiya, your ‘evil’ has become so dense it’s nauseating.”
With every step Uchiha Ikeizumi took forward, Aburame Keiya instinctively retreated a step.
“Today, in the name of「 Absolute Justice」, I will execute you.”
At the instant Uchiha Ikeizumi’s last words fell.
Realizing he couldn’t resolve this peacefully, Aburame Keiya decisively struck first!
He knew Uchiha Ikeizumi was very strong.
Even Lord Danzo hadn’t been able to take him down for a while before.
To escape his line of sight…
He had to strike first!
“Secret Technique: Decay Bug!!!”
Countless swarms of bugs instantly surged crazily from Aburame Keiya’s hands, hundreds or even thousands of black bugs like a black curtain, instantly pouncing toward Uchiha Ikeizumi.
However…
His speed was fast, but Uchiha Ikeizumi’s speed was even faster.
After all, when he saw the red box hovering over Aburame Keiya’s head.
In Uchiha Ikeizumi’s eyes, he was already a dead man.
“Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique.”
Just as the dense black bugs were about to reach him, Uchiha Ikeizumi spat out a massive fireball from his mouth.
At the same time, Uchiha Ikeizumi formed a seal with one hand.
“Lava Release Chakra Body.”
Uchiha Ikeizumi, with lava slowly flowing over his skin surface, plunged straight into the insect swarm and flames ahead.
The Great Fireball Technique couldn’t harm his body, and the flying black bugs evaporated and vaporized from the terrifying heat before even touching him.
Aburame Keiya’s pupils contracted sharply.
But before he could make any further moves, his vision was filled by a crimson hellhound formed of lava.
—Boom!!!
Half his head was gone.
……
Sasuke, standing at the very back, watched all this happen in stunned silence.
Sasuke thought at most Uchiha Ikeizumi would arrest that criminal.
But who could have imagined…
That they would clash in an instant.
And…
Someone died!
“Sasuke, this is the「 Absolute Justice」 that Senior Ikeizumi believes in,” Senior Izumi explained softly beside him: “Any evil in the Ninja World must be eradicated with the most thorough means.”
