Chapter 45: Justice Sees You And Wants To Vomit
“Huff… huff…” A disheveled figure hid in an alley corner somewhere in the Uchiha Clan Compound. He was trying hard to steady his breathing, attempting to reduce his own presence.
A drop of sweat slowly slid down his face, and the corner of his eye, with faint crow’s feet, narrowed slightly.
His scarlet Three-Tomoe Sharingan was carefully observing the movements around him.
“It’s already been three minutes. Why hasn’t that guy come out to rendezvous with me yet… Wasn’t this the agreed time?”
Uchiha Onigawara gritted his teeth and muttered a sentence only he could hear.
His tone was filled with dissatisfaction and anxiety.
When he noticed figures flickering not far away, he immediately shifted to a more cornered position, just in the visual blind spot from many directions, allowing him to barely conceal his figure.
“Damn it, where the hell are you!”
To escape from the detention room in the Police Force Headquarters, he had killed a ninja from the Uchiha Police Force. Those people from the Police Force must have come out in full force by now.
If that man didn’t show up soon.
He would definitely get caught!
A memory fragment flashed through Uchiha Onigawara’s mind—after his actions were exposed, leading to him being suspended by Anbu for investigation.
A young man wearing a strange mask had approached him.
——”Heh heh… Uchiha Onigawara, you abused and killed two comrades. Do you think those foolish ninjas in Konoha can still tolerate you? The outcome awaiting you is nothing more than being imprisoned in Konoha Prison for twenty years? Thirty years? Or a lifetime?”
——”I’ll be frank with you. It’s because your special bloodline has considerable value that that lord hopes you’ll join us. That lord promises you that your penchant for abuse and killing will be fully satisfied here with us.”
——”And all you need to do is leave Konoha. For you, is there anything left in Konoha worth lingering over? As long as you dare to defect, I’ll come to rendezvous with you at the right time.”
——”Oh, right. I forgot to remind you—that lord’s identity is definitely not unfamiliar to you.”
At first, Uchiha Onigawara didn’t know who the other party was.
He only knew that the other party could silently bypass the people surveilling him and meet with him, which meant he had considerable skill.
Until he saw a small white snake emerge from the other’s sleeve.
Uchiha Onigawara knew who had extended the olive branch to him.
As a proud member of the Uchiha Clan, Uchiha Onigawara naturally didn’t want to be a subordinate to a Konoha rogue ninja. Once that guy’s “spy” planted in Konoha rendezvoused with him and got him out of the village, he would unhesitatingly kill that “spy” ninja and then stay far away from Konoha Village!
“Tch… my special bloodline…”
Uchiha Onigawara narrowed his eyes: “He’s coveting that kid Ikeizumi’s Lava Release Bloodline Limit, but doesn’t dare to act against that kid Ikeizumi, so he’s settling for the next best thing by targeting me?”
He actually didn’t know why his nephew, whose personality was extremely extreme, possessed a Dual Bloodline Limit.
Clearly, neither he, nor his late sister and brother-in-law, had awakened any Lava Release Bloodline Limit.
Of course, this didn’t stop Uchiha Onigawara from trying to use Orochimaru’s spy to escape Konoha.
But…
“Where the hell did he go?!” Just as Uchiha Onigawara was gritting his teeth in frustration, his pair of Three-Tomoe Sharingan eyes keenly caught a drop of blood-red “rainwater” falling from the sky.
Drip—
A splash of blood bloomed on the damp ground under his feet, and at the same time, it made Uchiha Onigawara’s gaze sharpen.
When he hastily looked up.
He saw a black shadow rapidly falling from above.
Uchiha Onigawara reacted quickly and swiftly caught the falling black shadow to avoid making noise that would attract the Police Force’s encirclement.
“This is…”
But Uchiha Onigawara’s pupils suddenly contracted, because he discovered that what he had caught was a corpse still warm to the touch!
Blood was gushing from the corpse’s neck, and the mask on its face had also slipped off, revealing a face frozen in terror.
Cold sweat poured down Uchiha Onigawara’s body.
He didn’t recognize this face, but he recognized the fallen mask—it belonged to Orochimaru’s spy planted in Konoha, who had contacted him half a month ago and extended the olive branch to him!
“I ran into him on my way to find you. The ‘evil’ he’s done is like a lightbulb in the dark, impossible for me to ignore.”
The sudden voice made alarm bells ring in Uchiha Onigawara’s heart.
He no longer cared about concealing his figure and quickly used Body Flicker to a position he thought allowed easy advance or retreat, then looked up.
Two pairs of Three-Tomoe Sharingan eyes met in midair.
Uchiha Onigawara recognized the other’s identity at a glance.
“Ikeizumi?!!” Uchiha Onigawara had a profound impression of this nephew of his. He had seen many extreme Uchihas, and he himself was one of the more extreme ones.
But…
He felt that in front of Uchiha Ikeizumi, he still seemed too immature.
Even though he was a full twenty years older than the other!
Uchiha Onigawara had already assumed a stance ready to form seals at any moment. The corpse of the “spy ninja” on the ground made his face darken and unsightly, and the killing intent brewing in Uchiha Ikeizumi’s eyes made him shudder.
Uchiha Onigawara took a deep breath and asked warily, “Ikeizumi… are you here to deal with me?”
“Yes.”
The concise reply from Uchiha Ikeizumi made Uchiha Onigawara’s heart sink instantly.
He couldn’t help but grit his teeth and say, “I’m your blood relative! Ikeizumi, why not leave Konoha with me! You know what your reputation is like in Konoha, right? No one in this village will acknowledge your Ninja Way, and the people of the Uchiha Clan won’t acknowledge you either. Staying in Konoha Village is pointless for you, isn’t it?”
“Ikeizumi, you’re the Uchiha Clan’s Dual Bloodline Limit genius. Plus, I’m not bad either. If you team up with me, there’s no place in the entire Ninja World that we two can’t go. We can spread the Uchiha Clan’s bloodline outside of Konoha!”
As Uchiha Onigawara spoke, his heart gradually sank.
Because he found that his “invitation” hadn’t moved Uchiha Ikeizumi at all.
He steeled his resolve and said word by word, “Ikeizumi, think about your late mother! I’m her own younger brother! I’m your closest kin, the only closest kin you, Uchiha Ikeizumi, have!”
“Done?”
Uchiha Ikeizumi, looking down with lowered eyes, asked expressionlessly.
“…Done.” Uchiha Onigawara endured the discomfort in his heart and said.
Uchiha Ikeizumi said, “‘Evil’ is ‘evil’, and the Absolute Justice I believe in will not forgive you just because you and I share similar blood. What’s more, I don’t have the authority to forgive you.”
Damn it… this kid is extremely extreme to an indescribable degree!
Uchiha Onigawara’s face became extremely unsightly.
He already regretted hiding in this place. If he had chosen somewhere else, maybe he wouldn’t have run into this unfeeling kid.
But he heard Uchiha Ikeizumi say indifferently, “Uchiha Onigawara, the you who only regrets encountering me is beyond saving. In my eyes, you’re disgusting to the point of nausea.”
Uchiha Onigawara’s face was full of disbelief.
Were the thoughts in his heart so easily seen through?
And this damn kid…
“Fire Style…
“Great Fireball Technique!!!”
He unhesitatingly formed seals at top speed, and a massive fireball flew toward Uchiha Ikeizumi above.
…
