Konoha: The Absolute Justice of the Uchiha

Chapter 12 Capturing the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Naruto Uzumaki

Even after Uchiha Izumi left with the Uchiha girl, Hiruzen Sarutobi still couldn't understand where he had sworn at someone.

He plucked a bit of tobacco and placed it on the pipe, struck a match, and as he lit the tobacco, he gently sucked on the mouthpiece of the pipe.

"call……"

A wisp of smoke enveloped his old face as Hiruzen Sarutobi murmured, "Now it's basically certain that Izumi will no longer pose a threat to Konoha. Are you satisfied, Danzo?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a "secret guard" emerged from the corner of the office.

However, its shape changed after it had only taken a few steps.

He gradually transformed into an old man with bandages wrapped around his body, only one eye visible, and a rather gloomy and somber demeanor.

This is the controller of Konoha's "Root"!
A magnetic master in the ninja world who specializes in attracting scapegoats!

——Shimura Danzo!
"When Uchiha Ikezumi walked into the office, he glanced in my direction. He must have noticed me immediately." Danzo squinted one eye, looking towards the door. The hostility and aloofness in his eyes were not deliberately concealed.

Then, he looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi and continued, "Hiruzen, you can't guarantee that Uchiha Ikezumi didn't say those things on purpose because she discovered me. This is an Uchiha whose style of doing things is so extreme that it's visibly evil!"

“You just heard him say that even if the Hokage stood in his way, he would still dare to swing his sword at the Hokage. This kind of inherently evil Uchiha brat should not exist in Konoha.”

Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned and said, "Danzo, I know what you're planning. You're not allowed to lay a hand on Uchiha Izumi. He's an Uchiha I've set my sights on, just like Itachi."

"Although his extreme style of doing things was somewhat inappropriate, it did set a new standard of justice for the village and made some people with ulterior motives in the village restrain themselves a lot."

Hiruzen Sarutobi tapped the clapper and said, "The existence of the pond has both advantages and disadvantages for the village, but so far, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages."

"Hmph." Danzo sneered coldly, "What do you mean by 'the benefits outweigh the drawbacks'? That's just your indecisiveness. You only say that because it's the Moonlight Clan who died today."

"If it were a Sarutobi clan ninja who was killed, would you still be acting like this, Hiruzen?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi replied calmly, "I only speak of public matters, not private ones."

Danzo admitted that he almost laughed at the monkey's remark.

"To condone the Uchiha, who are inherently evil to the extreme, and allow him to exercise his so-called 'absolute justice' in Konoha, is playing with fire! One day, you will regret it, Hiruzen!"

Danzo gave Hiruzen Sarutobi a deep look.

Hiruzen Sarutobi met his gaze and said in a deep voice, "Danzo, you never seem to understand your place. In Konoha, I am the Hokage. And you are merely the 'dark' of Konoha."

"I said the pool must not be moved, and it must not be moved! Don't forget, the 'root' can only continue to exist with my tacit approval. With just one command from me, the 'root' will be completely disintegrated!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi narrowed his eyes: "Danzo, as the Hokage, my power is limitless. You wouldn't want me to do that, would you?"

Danzo's eyes widened: "You monkey..."

"Humph!!!"

There was no point in saying more than necessary. Danzo, his old face dark with barely concealed anger, said nothing more and left in silence.

boom--

The slamming of the door revealed just how much he was suppressing his anger.

……

"Has Izumi not returned yet?" Fugaku Uchiha, far away in the Uchiha Police Force, was looking at the four corpses with deep concern.

“No,” replied a coroner from the Uchiha police force.

Fugaku sighed, "He's attacked the Konoha ninja clans again. This will likely push the conflict between the Uchiha and the village even further towards an irreversible situation."

This is the situation that Fugaku was most worried about.

to be frank.

Although Uchiha Izumi's actions were extreme, they were correct, so correct that even Fugaku often found it difficult to find fault with them.

But for the Uchiha clan, which is now in dire straits, this very correctness is a series of fatal death warrants.

Since the Nine-Tails' attack, the Uchiha clan has been viewed with suspicion by the village. Many ninja clans that had previously maintained a relatively good relationship with the Uchiha clan have become increasingly distant from them in recent years.

The reputation of the Uchiha clan among some commoners has become increasingly bad.

This external pressure indirectly intensified the pressure exerted on him, the head of the Uchiha clan, by the hawkish faction within the clan.

today……

Several more members of the Uchiha clan met with him privately, demanding that he devise a comprehensive plan for a coup in Konoha.

"Ugh……"

Fugaku sighed. Was there not a single troublesome member of the Uchiha clan, apart from his eldest son Itachi and the deceased Shisui?
……

"U...U...Uchiha Ikezumi is here!!!"

at the same time.

A trembling cry, tinged with fear, shattered the tranquility of a street in Konoha Village.

Suddenly, a thief who was stealthily making a purchase paused, his expression turning deathly pale and as if he had lost his parents.

He hurriedly stuffed the stolen wallet back into his hand.

He didn't even dare to look at where Uchiha Izumi was, and without hesitation, he prostrated himself on the ground in the most humble "dogeza" posture.

"I surrender! I'm willing to surrender! I'm willing to honestly confess all the crimes I've committed to the police force! Please don't kill me!" the thief cried out in despair, drenched in sweat.

At the other end of the street, a pair of Konoha villagers who were arguing and hurling insults at each other also quickly changed to a cheerful and enthusiastic demeanor.

The two men, with their arms around each other's shoulders and calling each other "good brothers," showed no signs of having just argued heatedly.

A villager who had carelessly thrown away trash hurriedly picked it up and stuffed it into his pocket.

"Wow...that's an exaggeration..." Izumi finally understood just how famous Senior Ikezumi was in Konoha Village.

I had been burying myself in my studies at the ninja academy.

I've never really paid attention to anyone outside the ninja academy who's this famous.

Izumi believes that if Senior Izumi were to stroll around the village more often, Konoha's crime rate would drop by several percentage points!
"You brat! Stop right there!!!"

But soon, an angry shout broke the eerie silence.

"Who would stop?! If you catch me, I'm in big trouble!"

Another shout rang out.

The former is the voice of an adult, and the latter is the voice of a child.

Quan turned his head in confusion.

She saw a blond kid running frantically and aimlessly, chased by a man wielding a rolling pin.

Wherever the two went, chaos ensued.

The blond brat would occasionally pick up all sorts of things from the street and throw them behind him to hinder the pursuer's chase.

But it also made the streets chaotic, frightening many passersby and villagers who hurriedly avoided the area.

Just as the blond brat and Izumi passed each other.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw that Senior Chi Quan suddenly reached out a hand.

The blond kid, who was running around happily, was suddenly lifted up.
