Chapter 3: The Ninja World Has Been Eroded By “evil” And Is Full Of Holes
Uchiha Ikeizumi’s voice resounded like a thunderclap in Senior Izumi’s ear.
She deeply breathed in the increasingly thick scent of blood in the air.
As she slowly stood up, she could still hear the increasingly feeble wails and groans from the short man at her feet.
“I’ve told you everything… save me… please save me… please, I don’t want to die…”
Senior Izumi pursed her lips.
For her, a genin who had graduated from the ninja academy less than a month ago, this was still too shocking and stimulating.
“Where is your home.” Having learned that the other party was the beast who killed his daughter, Senior Izumi no longer felt any empathy for this short man. She took the lead in interrogating him about his address to find the child’s corpse.
After vaguely hearing the other party weakly report an address.
Senior Izumi mustered her courage, turned her head to Uchiha Ikeizumi, and said: “Senior, should we split up? I’ll take him to Konoha Hospital, and then you go find that child’s corpse?”
Uchiha Ikeizumi said indifferently: “Rookie, do you know what kind of punishment killing someone while drunk would receive in Konoha?”
Senior Izumi was stunned: “Life… lifelong imprisonment?!”
Uchiha Ikeizumi shook his head: “It’s ten years of imprisonment. After ten years, this thorough villain will live under the sun again. Even, if he behaves well in prison, it might not even take ten years—maybe just seven or eight years and he’ll be out.”
“I ask you. Does such a punishment count as equivalent retribution?”
Senior Izumi said timidly: “Ten years… isn’t that a bit short? No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t seem like equivalent retribution, right?”
The moral bottom line of the twelve-year-old Uchiha genin girl instinctively made her feel that this sentence was too short.
Is the cost of killing in Konoha this low?
Or…
Can killing while drunk receive leniency?
“「Justice」 that is not executed absolutely can never be considered justice, and sin will never receive the retribution it deserves.” Uchiha Ikeizumi said: “No need to split up, and no need to take him to Konoha Hospital. Just take him directly to the address he just mentioned.”
“Right.”
Uchiha Ikeizumi took the ninja sword back from Senior Izumi’s hand, sheathed the bloodstained ninja sword, and added: “You carry this scum of the ninja world and follow behind me.”
Senior Izumi’s little face was full of shock.
Senior Ikeizumi… among the Uchiha Clan, he was probably one of the most extreme clan members, right?
She secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, her gaze uncontrollably fixed on the short man.
Do I… have to drag him?
Hiss!
……
Senior Izumi felt immense pressure right now.
Under the gazes of civilians and ninjas—some terrified, some stunned—she gritted her teeth, gripped the back collar of the short man’s shirt with both hands, and strode her legs to keep up with Uchiha Ikeizumi.
The short man kept rubbing against the ground; he screamed in extreme terror and struggled, unwilling to be dragged along.
It made Senior Izumi feel very reluctant.
But when she looked at Senior Ikeizumi Uchiha’s upright back, recalling her own hesitation during the previous interrogation and the suffocating feeling as his gaze gradually cooled…
Senior Izumi could only try to steel her heart.
She didn’t dare look back, afraid of seeing a bloody and cruel scene—after all, this short man had already had one leg severed! She could only imagine how cruel the short man must have been when killing his own kin.
Using this to alleviate the reluctance in her heart.
Senior Izumi felt the other’s struggles becoming increasingly weak and feeble.
She sensed the looks from some nearby Konoha civilians toward her, as if she were an accomplice to a sinner, full of fear.
She heard the cries and shouts growing smaller and smaller.
Until…
There was complete silence.
Senior Izumi was suddenly startled and hastily looked back, scaring her into hurriedly saying to Uchiha Ikeizumi: “Senior Ikeizumi, he’s passed out from fright!”
Uchiha Ikeizumi paused his steps slightly. He didn’t turn back, just lightly asked: “Can you wake him up?”
“Let me check…”
Senior Izumi carefully checked the short man’s breathing. Her heart trembled, and she replied in panic: “Wait… Senior Ikeizumi, he… he’s dead! He must have suffocated during the shock from excessive blood loss, and I didn’t notice his abnormality in time just now.”
Uchiha Ikeizumi said regretfully: “That’s a pity.”
Senior Izumi was stunned.
She only heard this senior continue: “I let him die too easily; it’s not enough to atone for the sins he committed. My original plan was to have you drag him home. After fishing out the child’s corpse, execute him in front of the child’s corpse.”
“Moreover.” Uchiha Ikeizumi glanced back: “I was planning to let you, the rookie, give it a try.”
Senior Izumi was dumbfounded.
“S-Senior…” Senior Izumi said weakly: “I’ve read the Police Force duty code manual. It seems to mention that after capturing a criminal, you can’t use private punishment on them. This seems to be a regulation added by the Hokage in the Police Force manual.”
“But the manual also has a rule—when a criminal resists stubbornly, you may use some intense measures as appropriate; this is all in accordance with the rules. Besides…” Uchiha Ikeizumi asked: “Rookie, do you think the lofty Third Hokage represents 「Justice」?”
Senior Izumi didn’t dare make a sound.
Uchiha Ikeizumi stared at this girl who only had half Uchiha bloodline and slowly said: “To be a good Police Force member, you first need to know who the enemies of 「Justice」 are. All the ‘evil’ in the ninja world are the enemies of 「Justice」.”
“The ninja world has already been eroded by countless ‘evils’ to the point of being riddled with holes. We can only execute 「Justice」 with absolute and thorough means to set the ninja world back on the right track.”
I-Including the Hokage? —This sentence, Senior Izumi only dared to filter through her mind once; she absolutely didn’t dare ask it out loud.
“Including the Hokage.”
Until the next second, Uchiha Ikeizumi, as if possessing telepathy, unhesitatingly and bombastically spat out this sentence without reservation.
Senior Izumi was scared silly.
……
What Senior Izumi didn’t know was that at the instant the short man died from shock due to excessive blood loss.
A golden finger prompt popped up in front of Uchiha Ikeizumi.
【Ding! You have successfully executed Absolute Justice once in the ninja world; your chakra has gained a small boost! Congratulations, you have obtained: Gambling Experience Book×2】

This was the golden finger that Uchiha Ikeizumi awakened when he first transmigrated to Konoha.
He could see everyone’s “evil,” whether it was the “evil” they had done in the past or the “evil” they would do in the future—he could see it all clearly.
For those who had committed unforgivable evil, their crimes would appear above their heads in blood-colored text.
For those who would commit unforgivable evil in the future, white text would hang above their heads, displaying the crimes they would commit.
As for the “Lava Release” in the 【Bloodline Limit】 column, it was from the newbie gift pack when the golden finger awakened.
The golden finger’s description of the gift pack was—from the 「Absolute Justice」 believer of the great sea, greetings.
