Chapter 47: As Long As There Are People, Evil Will Continuously Breed
Fugaku truly wished for that instant that it was his own hearing that had a problem, rather than Uchiha Ikeizumi having that dangerous thought.
——Wanting to kill the Hokage but not finding a suitable opportunity!
Could such words be said openly in broad daylight?
Even someone as steady-tempered as Fugaku nearly lost his composure.
And at this moment.
Many Uchiha Police Force members also arrived one after another.
They blocked all the intersections, not giving Uchiha Onigawara the slightest chance to escape.
They also cast vigilant gazes on the two in front.
But when they discovered Uchiha Ikeizumi was also present.
They all clearly froze for a moment.
“Uchiha Ikeizumi? He… seems to be Uchiha Onigawara’s relative, right? If I remember correctly, he’s his nephew?”
A Uchiha Police Force member murmured in astonishment to himself.
……
Shocked along with Fugaku was also Uchiha Onigawara.
He thought that as Uchiha Ikeizumi’s blood relative, he already understood Uchiha Ikeizumi’s extreme personality very well.
Only now did he realize…
His understanding of Uchiha Ikeizumi was ultimately still too superficial.
This kid is extreme beyond measure!
He dares to kill Uchiha Clan ninjas, he dares to kill his own blood relative, he even dares to kill the Hokage himself!
The vast Ninja World…
Who is there that he doesn’t dare to kill?
The intense pain from his ten fingers connected to his heart had already blurred Uchiha Onigawara’s vision; every step Uchiha Ikeizumi took forward, he staggered back one step.
Uchiha Onigawara suddenly grinned ferociously, his tone turning vicious: “…Ikeizumi, to be honest, your so-called「Absolute Justice」 is just your excuse for killing people, isn’t it? Moreover, the people you’ve killed in Konoha probably aren’t fewer than mine, right? You and I are actually the same! We are blood-connected! We are both bloodthirsty people!”
“Ikeizumi! Sooner or later, you will have your mask torn off too! Sooner or later, you will become exactly like me! No, you will become even more extreme than me! This is the fate destined by the Uchiha Clan blood between you and me!”
Uchiha Onigawara’s field of vision was instantly completely occupied by surging lava.
With his ten fingers all melted by the lava, he was already powerless to resist.
The distance between them had also closed to the point where he didn’t even have a chance to dodge.
“Ikeizumi! I will be waiting for you in the afterlife!!!”
——Boom!!!
A body whose head had already lost its trace was instantly drained of strength.
And it fell straight back, collapsing rigidly.
Uchiha Onigawara.
Death!
【Ding! You have successfully executed Absolute Justice once in the Ninja World! Your chakra has gained a small boost! Congratulations, you have successfully obtained: “Sharingan Eye Power possessed by Uchiha Onigawara”!】
Uchiha Ikeizumi’s arm, transformed into lava, had already returned to its original state.
He closed his eyes, standing quietly in place without moving.
He could clearly feel a surge of eye power in his eyes being rapidly absorbed and digested by him, merging into his own Sharingan eye power.
This change only lasted a short two seconds before ending.
In the eyes of outsiders…
He had fallen into a deathly silence after personally slaying his blood relative who had fallen into the abyss of evil.
……
“This guy…” A Uchiha Clan ninja wanted to step forward to check the situation but hesitated: “For his so-called「Absolute Justice」, he really personally slew his blood relative?”
A Police Force ninja was silent for half a second, then slowly said in a low voice: “It’s said that Uchiha Onigawara is Uchiha Ikeizumi’s only remaining blood relative in the world.”
“This…”
“No wonder he’s called a rare genius of the Uchiha Clan in decades. With this kind of resolve, sooner or later, he will awaken the legendary Mangekyo Sharingan, right?”
“He seems to have his eyes closed… Hey, I remember he’s Three-Tomoe, is he really about to awaken?”
“Impossible…”
“Tch, that Absolute Justice「Absolute Justice」 that guy kept talking about isn’t nonsense after all. Uchiha Onigawara tried to shake Uchiha Ikeizumi’s Ninja Way right before dying; he was probably overthinking it. How could someone like this be shaken?”
“…”
In the gap of the crowd’s hushed whispers, Senior Izumi arrived hurriedly, late, with Kijiro.
She supported her knees with both hands, panting, her small face pale.
“Meow, Senior Ikeizumi really did slay his own kin for justice…”
Senior Izumi suddenly heard the shocked tone from Kijiro on her shoulder.
She hurriedly looked up and saw Senior Ikeizumi quietly standing in front of a headless corpse.
The ground in front was still flowing with some lava.
She said in shock: “That… that corpse, don’t tell me it’s?”
Kijiro said: “It’s Uchiha Onigawara. The corpse’s head is missing, and the neck looks scorched and carbonized. No need to guess, he was definitely killed by Senior Ikeizumi’s Lava Release, meow.”
“Meow, this was Senior Ikeizumi’s only blood relative left in the world. Now, Senior Ikeizumi is truly all alone in the world.”
Senior Izumi pursed her lips.
“Senior Ikeizumi, is he in a lot of pain right now?”
She murmured.
Senior Izumi couldn’t imagine what kind of mood she would be in if she had personally slain her own blood relative.
Sadness?
Pain?
Regret?
Grief?
“Ah—” She hurriedly wiped her moistened eye corner, and as she turned her head, she met Kijiro’s disdainful gaze.
“Rookie, your empathy is too strong. Good thing Senior Ikeizumi didn’t look this way, or you’d get points deducted, meow.”
Senior Izumi defended in a low voice: “But… maybe only people with strong empathy can truly feel how hard-won justice and fairness are.”
She took a deep breath, and in the situation where none of the Police Force ninjas, including Fugaku, took a step forward.
She proactively walked toward Uchiha Ikeizumi.
“…Senior Ikeizumi?” Senior Izumi came to Uchiha Ikeizumi’s side and mustered her courage to remind him.
“Rookie, perfect timing.”
She discovered that Senior Ikeizumi’s tone held no sadness; it was as flat as ever, as if the senior had already gone numb.
Uchiha Ikeizumi asked: “What lesson is this that I once taught you?”
Senior Izumi hurriedly straightened her posture and answered: “Lesson Four! No matter how others commit evil under high-sounding pretexts, execute Absolute Justice unwaveringly! Even if…”
She had a good memory.
She could remember everything Senior Ikeizumi said after hearing it just once.
Senior Izumi’s voice grew a bit more subdued in emotion, but thinking of how these people around her had never understood the justice her senior upheld, she immediately raised her voice and shouted: “Even if it means directing the blade of justice toward the person you are most familiar with, the closest to you!”
“Do it without hesitation! Swing the blade down without any indulgence!”
“Execute justice with absolutely thorough means!!!”
“To purge the Evil of the Ninja World!!!”
Uchiha Ikeizumi glanced at Senior Izumi, whose small face was slightly flushed from shouting, then turned around and said to Uchiha Fugaku not far away: “What comes after, you handle the cleanup.”
The girl’s resolute and decisive shout still echoed in Fugaku’s ears.
He looked at Uchiha Ikeizumi and Senior Izumi with complex eyes.
Ikeizumi had ultimately passed on his “Ninja Way” to the next generation!
But could the “evil” of the Ninja World truly be purged?
——Ikeizumi, as long as there are people, evil will continuously breed! You understand this better than anyone, right?
Fugaku didn’t say this out loud.
But he knew that after today, many in the Uchiha Clan would likely change their view of Ikeizumi.
