Konoha: The Absolute Justice of the Uchiha

Chapter 102 Uchiha Itachi, can you please stop being so illiterate?! (5000 words)
Izumi felt the temperature of the surrounding air drop suddenly, and the bone-chilling cold made her hair stand on end. She had already drawn the ninja sword at her waist an inch, and her three-tomoe Sharingan stared intently at Itachi.

At this moment, she was highly focused, her forehead was covered in a fine layer of cold sweat, and every muscle in her body was slightly tense.

But at that moment, Quan suddenly saw a scene that made her eyes widen in disbelief.

It wasn't Itachi Uchiha who attacked her, but rather strange characters that appeared in her field of vision!

Lines of text floated above Itachi Uchiha's head.

When she couldn't help but take a closer look, she was immediately shocked—wasn't this the "evil" that Senior Chi Quan had mentioned about Itachi Uchiha committing in the future?!
She even saw in those densely packed words the evil deed that Itachi Uchiha would kill her mother a year later!

Hiss, that's the massacre of the Uchiha clan that Itachi will cause a year from now!
This……

Could this be?!
'The ability to see the evil of the future!!!' The girl couldn't help but exclaim inwardly, a sound that no one could hear. Her first thought was that the reason she could see these special characters must be related to Senior Ikezumi's Mangekyou Sharingan!
Could it be that Senior Ikezumi implanted some kind of kaleidoscope ability into my body before I even realized it? So that I could share Senior Ikezumi's power to see the evil of the future?

That must be it!
Otherwise, there's no way to explain what I'm seeing!
Hearsay and firsthand observation are completely different experiences.

When Izumi watched as Itachi Uchiha's "future evil" unfolded before her eyes, she found herself even more unable to forgive him.

Even if I don't believe in Ikezumi-senpai's "absolute justice", just seeing Uchiha Itachi's future evil makes it impossible for me to maintain my previous friendship with him.

"Quan, I can see that you are hesitant and indecisive right now. Or, I might attribute your emotions to a guilty conscience."

While Izumi was still reeling from this, Itachi Uchiha suddenly said coldly, "Although you haven't said a word, it seems that your inner thoughts are indeed to stand on the opposite side of Konoha. Hmph... I once thought you were a rather special Uchiha, quite different from other radical members of the Uchiha clan."

"Now it seems that you, with the blood of the Uchiha clan flowing through your veins, are ultimately unable to escape the curse of the Uchiha bloodline. You are no different from those radical clan members."

spring:"???"

What is this guy muttering in gibberish? He didn't say anything; he was completely shocked to see the other person's future evil deeds.

How did it come out of his mouth as me feeling guilty?

“That’s fine too…” Itachi Uchiha’s eyes gradually hardened. He stood quietly and said, “At least you as you are now makes me even more determined to do it that way.”

"The Uchiha clan is sick, very sick. Everyone is trapped in the curse of the Uchiha bloodline and cannot break free. This curse also limits the potential of you people."

"And I, who am trying to break free from this bloodline bondage, am superior to all of you in terms of both capacity and vision. Izumi, from this day forward, you and I... are adversaries."

"Konoha... cannot be destroyed by you."

With a strange expression, Izumi struggled for a long time before finally managing to utter, "Can you please stop babbling on in front of me with your utterly incompetent level, which suggests you didn't even finish six years of ninja academy education?"

She understood once again why Senior Ikezumi always made Fugaku take Itachi Uchiha to see a psychologist.

She also has her own completely new understanding—Uchiha Itachi… She really should read more books!
Please, stop flaunting that slurred, illiterate rhetoric! Can't you go back to the ninja academy for a makeshift retraining?

She started to feel embarrassed listening to this!

"Izumi, there are some things you can't learn no matter how long you study at the Ninja Academy. Only by truly witnessing and experiencing them firsthand can you understand just how great the internal crisis Konoha is facing today."

Itachi's words silenced Izumi.

Maybe……

I shouldn't have talked to this guy about such trivial things.

Because the other party is unlikely to listen.

As Izumi gripped her sword hilt, holding her breath and preparing for battle, she suddenly noticed that Itachi Uchiha seemed to have noticed something, shifting his gaze to the other side. Furthermore, she noticed that Itachi's expression suddenly became somewhat dazed.

Quan frowned in confusion and shifted his gaze in that direction.

"...Sasuke-kun?!"

She saw a small figure standing under the streetlight at the corner of the alley not far away; it was none other than Uchiha Sasuke!
She noticed the brothers were looking at each other from a distance.

Itachi Uchiha's eyes held a complex expression he couldn't hide; Sasuke Uchiha's small face was filled with anger and confusion.

Izumi immediately realized that Sasuke might know about Itachi Uchiha's "future evil" a year from now.

Also.

This matter had already spread throughout the entire Hidden Leaf Village.

Sasuke would be mad if he didn't know!

"I've been looking for you!" Sasuke's rather childish voice rang out loudly in the silent night. He gritted his teeth and looked at Itachi Uchiha, his tone both angry and sorrowful: "Why did you do those things to the Uchiha clan? Why did you try to kill Father and Mother? Why did you become like that in the future? You've never given me a definite explanation!"

Itachi Uchiha remained silent for a long time, clearly Sasuke's sudden appearance was somewhat unexpected.

Since that night when Sasuke was agitated and fell into a coma, Itachi Uchiha has not seen Sasuke again.

He has been selectively and deliberately avoiding Sasuke.

did not expect……

We ran into each other again tonight.

“Because of your limited perspective,” Itachi Uchiha said slowly. “You people’s vision is forever limited to the Uchiha clan, forever confined to one family. Everyone’s perspective is too narrow. Even Father is just as narrow-minded. He only thinks about balancing the relationship between Konoha and the Uchiha, but he doesn’t know that this kind of balance is meaningless.”

"From the moment the Uchiha clan showed their dissatisfaction with Konoha, everything was already beyond repair. Father is not in control of this situation; he is now just a patchwork, constantly patching up one loophole after another."

"When the situation gets out of control, Father will also be swayed by clansmen who are even more narrow-minded than him. This is bound to happen; it is the destiny of the Uchiha."

Seeing tears welling up in Sasuke's wide eyes, a mocking smile curled at the corner of his lips: "Sasuke, do you want to die by my hand sooner rather than later, so you don't have to suffer the agony of living a miserable life?"

"Ha, what a cowardly and naive little brother!"

Just as he took a few steps forward, intending to continue provoking Sasuke.

The sudden sound of a sword being drawn made Itachi Uchiha pause in his tracks.

He looked at Izumi, only to see that Izumi Uchiha was holding a sword in one hand, blocking his way to Sasuke.

The night breeze ruffled the girl's long black hair, and her pair of scarlet Sharingan eyes, adorned with three tomoe, held a hint of indignation and hostility.

"Uchiha Itachi, don't try to instill your ridiculously low and despairingly illiterate values ​​into a young kid like Sasuke."

Itachi Uchiha said calmly, "You are no match for me."

With a stern expression, Izumi resolutely declared, "Absolute Justice cannot back down even in the face of the most powerful enemy! If justice does not stand before the innocent, who in this twisted and morbid ninja world would be willing to sacrifice themselves to protect them?"

Uchiha Itachi frowned, about to say something more, when he caught a glimpse of someone walking behind Sasuke under the streetlight. He and the newcomer stared at each other for several seconds.

Finally, he took one last deep look at Quan, said nothing more, and left in a flash without uttering a word.

Quan was taken aback.

She turned her head and saw that standing behind Sasuke was actually Uchiha Mikoto!
"Thank you, Izumi..."

Mikoto Uchiha managed a grateful smile, but Izumi could read an indescribable sorrow in it.

Izumi couldn't yet see how Itachi Uchiha's "neuroticism" affected the head of the Fugaku family; however, Aunt Mikoto, as his mother, seemed to have been heartbroken by Itachi Uchiha.

Quan took a deep breath.

She sheathed her sword, suppressing her nervousness, and said, "It's what I should do. That person has gone mad, and he could do evil at any time, while Sasuke-kun is innocent. Under these circumstances, it is my responsibility and duty to step in and stop him."

Mikoto Uchiha pursed her lips. She first half-squatted down and used the back of her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of Sasuke's eyes.

As she stood up, she took Sasuke's small hand and asked Izumi, "Izumi, can I ask you for a favor?!"

Quan said, "Please speak."

"Could you take me and Sasuke... to see Ikezumi?" Uchiha Mikoto said, bowing slightly forward.

Quan stood there, stunned.

Even Sasuke, who ran out in the middle of the night to "find his brother" and was caught, looked up in surprise after sniffling.

...Meanwhile, within the Tōshin clan.

The entire group of members of the Turning Dormitory Clan gathered together, each staring at a corpse lying in the center of the hall. There were very clear stitches around the corpse's neck.

"Lord Koharu! Uchiha Izumi killed one of our clansmen! And he was a very talented junior ninja! His future achievements would have been at least that of a Special Jonin!"

Ryuji Utatane's father stared at Koharu Utatane with bloodshot eyes, and couldn't help but say sadly, "And he's still a child, he hasn't even graduated from the Ninja Academy yet!"

"Why should that murderer from the Uchiha clan kill Ryuji? Even if Ryuji did do something wrong, shouldn't he have paid for it with his life for the sake of his child?!"

Meanwhile, Ryuji's mother knelt beside her son's body, sobbing softly.

A father's grief, a mother's weeping.

This made Xiaochun, who was changing dorm rooms, very upset.

"What do you expect me to do?" Koharu Utatane took a deep breath, her face grim. "Kill Uchiha Ikezumi? That's naive of you, but can you even do it?!"

"I..."

"Advisor Koharu!" A sudden voice interrupted Koharu's words and drew the attention of everyone in the hall. A member of the Anbu ninja had somehow entered and was standing in front of the hall's door.

Before Koharu could even question him, the ANBU ninja blurted out, "Shimura Danzo was killed by Uchiha Ikezumi!"

Koharu, who turns to the next dorm: "...???"

Those who frequently switch dorm rooms: "!!!"

"Isn't Danzo at the Anbu base? Even though most Anbu ninjas go home after get off work, there are usually at least seven or eight elite Anbu guards at the Anbu base, right?"

Koharu Utatane's expression suddenly turned grim: "With seven or eight elite Anbu protecting him, how could Danzo be killed by Izumi Uchiha? What on earth were you Anbu ninjas doing?!"

The ANBU ninja could hear the accusation in Koharu Utatane's tone.

The ANBU ninja had only come to give a briefing, but upon hearing Koharu Utatane's direct accusation, he couldn't help but add, "Advisor Homura Mitokado was also present at the time, and it was Advisor Homura Mitokado who told us not to act rashly. If Advisor Koharu wants to criticize, she can go find that advisor."

The Anbu is the Hokage's direct secret force.

Who would tolerate a temporary leader like you who merely parrots others' ideas?
After the ANBU ninja left, the members of the Utatane clan had very interesting expressions.

"That murderer even dared to kill Danzo, a high-ranking official in Konoha." A member of the Utatane clan said inexplicably, "After all the wrongdoings he committed, wasn't Ryuji's death relatively quick?"

After a long silence, someone coughed lightly and said, "The most urgent thing should be to prepare a funeral for Ryuji."

An elder from the family who practices the "turning-bed" custom said, "You two are still very young, you can actually have another child."

The point is clear – let's put this on hold for now! This is too tough a target; we can't afford to mess with them! Starting a new character is better than going to their death and endangering our clan, right?

Ryuji's parents: "..."

……

On the other side, within the Shimura clan.

Tonight, the atmosphere among the Shimura clan is even more subdued than that among the Tōsei clan.

They couldn't even see Danzo's body, because Danzo's body held too many secrets, and the Anbu would never return Danzo's body to the Shimura clan.

The silence lasted for an unknown amount of time.

Finally, someone spoke up.

"Over the years, Lord Danzo has devoted himself wholeheartedly to the prosperity of Konoha. He even transferred the money earned by the Shimura clan to Root to help it develop. In other words, the reason why the huge Root has been able to develop to this day is because Lord Danzo and the Shimura clan have contributed money to it."

A junior member of the Shimura clan gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly, his eyes filled with hatred: "The inherently evil Uchiha clan has been trying to kill Lord Danzo at all times, and that extreme-tempered Uchiha Ikezumi even succeeded!"

"Are we just going to stand here and do nothing? Are we just going to let Lord Danzo die in vain? Are we just going to hand over the Root clan, which Lord Danzo poured so much effort into, to the Utatane clan? Are we going to let Uchiha Ikezumi continue to be so arrogant?!"

His repeated, clenched-teeth questions fueled the anger of the other Shimura clan ninjas, who secretly gritted their teeth in frustration.

These people were ninjas from the Shimura clan.

They were assimilated by Danzo long ago.

Like Danzo, they believed that the Uchiha clan was an inherently evil ninja clan that needed to be completely eradicated.

They also felt that the current Hokage was too weak, and that only Danzo from their Shimura clan was qualified to be Hokage.

They used to be very proud to join Danzo's Root organization.

It is said that the Uchiha clan is extremely radical.

However, under the influence of Danzo's influence over the years, and the influence of being surrounded by bad influences, he was able to achieve his goals.

The Shimura family is just as impressive!

"As far as I know, the Uchiha clan is not a monolithic entity." An elder of the Shimura clan said in a deep voice, "Uchiha Izumi is also a maverick within the Uchiha clan, and has offended many evil Uchiha ninjas."

He narrowed his eyes and said in a sinister voice, "With the strength of the Shimura clan, we will have a hard time dealing with Uchiha Ikezumi after losing Lord Danzo. However... we can hold our noses and take advantage of the internal discord within the Uchiha clan."

Someone probably understood what he meant and pondered, "It seems that whether it is the radical faction of the Uchiha clan that advocates rebellion and coup, or the balance and stability faction led by Uchiha Fugaku, they all have a bad relationship with Uchiha Ikezumi."

"It's impossible for Fugaku Uchiha to take action against Izumi Uchiha. Lord Danzo once said that she was a very weak Uchiha."

"How is Uchiha Setsuna?!"

……

at the same time.

Standing in front of a simple two-story house, Izumi was a little nervous. Would Izumi displease her for taking the liberty of agreeing to introduce her to Uchiha Mikoto?
But his own people were already standing in front of his senior's house, with Uchiha Mikoto and Uchiha Sasuke standing behind him.

The girl tried to relieve her tension by taking deep breaths.

She took two steps forward and then rang the doorbell of her elder's house.

Click—the moment the door opened, a strangely sharp voice rang out: "Oh? It's you, newcomer."

"Tachibana Jiro-senpai?!" Izumi instinctively looked down and discovered that it was actually the ninja cat Tachibana Jiro who opened the door.

Right……

Tachibana Jiro originally lived in Ikezumi-senpai's house. Although he was said to be a ninja cat with a cooperative relationship, he was more like a pet kept by his senior.

"Hmm?" At this moment, Tachibana Jiro also noticed Uchiha Mikoto and Uchiha Sasuke standing behind the girl.

"Meow, two rare guests have arrived." Tachibana Jiro's cat face showed surprise.

"Sorry to bother you." Mikoto Uchiha forced a smile.

Sasuke glanced curiously at Tachibana Jiro, then looked up at his mother with a puzzled expression. He still didn't understand why his mother had brought him to see Uchiha Ikezumi.

He was deeply impressed by Uchiha Ikezumi, a man who had killed someone in front of him.

Moreover, it was this man who revealed his brother's "future evil".

When Sasuke saw a figure appear at the doorway, he couldn't help but hide behind Mikoto Uchiha.

He didn't know why he had to hide.

Perhaps it's an instinctive fear.
