Chapter 14: Facing Shimura Danzo, Whose “red Name” Has Turned Purple!
After Danzo left the Hokage’s Office, he was holding back a surge of anger.
He felt extremely dissatisfied with Sarutobi Hiruzen’s indecisiveness.
In his eyes, the Uchiha Clan, except for Uchiha Madara back then, were all evil Uchihas.
Especially an Uchiha brat like Uchiha Ikeizumi, who put his extreme personality and way of doing things out in the open!
What「absolute justice」?
It was clearly just killing for fun under the guise of justice!
Only that unqualified Third Hokage Monkey would think that Uchiha Ikeizumi’s stance was trustworthy.
When Danzo’s heart was full of dissatisfaction, on the way back to the Root Base with two Root guards…
He saw a scene that nearly gave him a heart attack.
—The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Uzumaki Naruto, only seven years old, was grabbed in hand by Uchiha Ikeizumi!
This scene made Danzo suddenly recall the Nine-Tails incident.
The destruction caused by that terrifying Nine-Tails Demon Fox to Konoha was still vivid in his memory!
Danzo instantly bristled and flew into a rage.
After he shouted from afar in fury, “Innate evil Uchiha brat,” he had already rushed toward Uchiha Ikeizumi with two Root guards.
In the blink of an eye, he surrounded Uchiha Ikeizumi, the Anbu Ninja, Senior Izumi, and Uzumaki Naruto—the four of them—in a triangular formation.
At this moment, Danzo was so emotionally agitated that he almost tore off the bandages on his body, revealing the terrifying Sharingan all over him.
But fortunately, he gritted his teeth and held back.
“Uchiha Ikeizumi! Are you planning to rebel!?”
Danzo’s eyes, filled with extreme sinister fury, glowered at Uchiha Ikeizumi, and under his agitated emotions, even his breathing sounded much heavier.
He bellowed aggressively: “Holding Uzumaki Naruto in the street—you Uchiha Clan’s ambitions can’t be hidden anymore!”
“I knew your Uchiha Clan harbored ill intentions toward Konoha. The tragedy in Konoha several years ago… it was indeed orchestrated by your Uchiha Clan, wasn’t it!”
The two masked Root guards had already drawn their ninja swords.
The tense atmosphere made some passersby nearby realize something was wrong.
“Who are those two masked people…” Compared to the Anbu Ninja, who were somewhat known, few civilians knew about Root Ninja, the pure darkness of Konoha’s Root.
“Hey, something seems off!” Someone swallowed nervously, took a few steps back, and said tensely: “They’re not going to fight, are they? Should we hurry and notify the Police Force?”
“That Uchiha Ikeizumi… isn’t he from the Police Force? We should notify the Hokage instead!”
“The situation looks a bit bad…”
“…”
Senior Izumi also felt the situation was off. She didn’t recognize the Root Ninja or Shimura Danzo, but she knew the Anbu’s masks.
She also noticed that from the moment that bandaged old man she had never seen appeared, Senior Ikeizumi’s gaze was deeply attracted to him.
She wasn’t sure if it was her imagination, but she felt that Senior Ikeizumi’s eyes contained killing intent that was openly revealed.
Obviously, this was not her imagination.
In Uchiha Ikeizumi’s vision, the red box hovering above Danzo’s head was larger than anyone else’s.
The densely packed small text contained all the crimes Danzo had committed one after another, and that deep crimson, almost purple color represented his evil.
Uchiha Ikeizumi had seen Danzo from afar six years ago, and even then, he had felt a restless impulse.
Only…
At that time, he was just a Chunin, and the sins on Danzo were far beyond what he could clear with his abilities back then.
And now…
Uchiha Ikeizumi felt restless again. He narrowed his eyes, ignored Danzo’s previous aggressive questions, and said: “This brat was caught by me for committing a crime. Root… are you trying to interfere with the Police Force’s law enforcement? Any interferer will be killed without mercy.”
The Anbu Ninja tasked with monitoring Naruto also realized something was wrong.
He discreetly summoned a ninja pigeon and released it, letting the summoned beast hurry to inform the Hokage.
Naruto was scared silent by this crisis-filled atmosphere.
He realized he had really caused big trouble today.
Danzo’s sinister eyes were also full of killing intent: “Uchiha Ikeizumi, you’re no longer just an ordinary evil Uchiha! Today, I will personally eliminate this threat for Konoha.”
Click—
Uchiha Ikeizumi’s ninja sword at his waist had unsheathed more than an inch.
The moment a falling leaf was swept up by a gust of wind.
The two Root Ninja behind Uchiha Ikeizumi made the first move!
One with a ninja sword instantly closed in on Uchiha Ikeizumi, the blade tip aimed straight at his back!
One slashed at Uchiha Ikeizumi’s left arm, trying to seize the Jinchuriki.
Danzo approached within arm’s reach at lightning speed.
His bandage-wrapped arm had somehow gripped a kunai.
The kunai stabbed straight toward Uchiha Ikeizumi’s abdomen!
In that almost simultaneous instant, Uchiha Ikeizumi’s eyes turned crimson, and the three-tomoe Sharingan occupied his pupils.
His left hand suddenly tightened, forcing the Root Ninja on one side trying to sever his left arm to hurriedly retract the blade, as striking would hit the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
The ninja sword that had unsheathed an inch from his waist fully drew in an instant and clashed intensely with Danzo’s incoming kunai.
Using this force, Uchiha Ikeizumi let go of the ninja sword and swiftly formed hand seals with one hand.
“Lava Release…”
“Chakra Body!”
Astonishing crimson-red chakra surged from Uchiha Ikeizumi’s body, every inch of skin visibly changing to a form of flowing lava, and even his Police Force uniform was assimilated by the Lava Release chakra nature, taking on a flowing lava form.
The terrifying high temperature directly ignited Naruto’s rear collar, and Naruto fell with a “plop.” The heat scorched Naruto’s nape even from a few centimeters away.
The pain made Naruto clutch his neck and cry out “ow ow.”
The ninja sword stabbing toward Uchiha Ikeizumi’s back melted the instant it touched his skin…
It melted!
“This is…” Danzo’s pupils contracted, his rage-clouded mind instantly clearing, reminding him of Uchiha Ikeizumi’s specialty: “Lava Release Bloodline Limit!!!”
This innate evil Uchiha brat was an extremely rare dual bloodline limit ninja in the entire Ninja World!
Even Danzo had only heard of Uchiha Ikeizumi’s dual bloodline limit but had never seen him use Lava Release.
This astonishing temperature was more terrifying than many Fire Release Ninjutsu!
He absolutely could not be touched by this innate evil Uchiha brat—this high temperature would evaporate flesh—this was Danzo’s subconscious conclusion from years of combat experience.
The moment Danzo’s thought fell…
Uchiha Ikeizumi’s arm of flowing lava turned into a thrusting crimson spear!
Aiming straight for Danzo’s head!
