Konoha: The Absolute Justice of the Uchiha

Chapter 134 Illiterate Itachi! "Am I truly a qualified Hokage?"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the Sarutobi clan members whose names were called by Uchiha Izumi were all taken away.

Some of them tried to struggle, but when the ninja sword was held to their necks, the blade pressed a thin line of blood into their skin.

They then behaved themselves.

Some hurriedly turned their pleading eyes to Hiruzen Sarutobi, hoping that the Hokage would show leniency for the sake of their clan, at least preventing them from falling into the hands of Izumi Uchiha, or even just imprisoning them.

But when the Hokage shifted his gaze, not even bothering to look at them, they instantly felt despair.

"Ugh……"

As the footsteps faded into the distance until they could no longer be heard, Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed deeply.

Immediately, he looked at the three clan leaders in front of him: the pig, the deer, and the butterfly.

Exhausted, he said to Yamanaka Inoichi, "Inoichi, I hope you will send me a copy of the investigation report."

He no longer hoped that Yamanaka Inoichi would stand on the side of the Hokage.

All I ask is that the Ino, Shika, and Cho clans remain loyal to Konoha for generations to come.

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

Yamanaka Inoichi nodded slightly. He still had to give the Hokage some face; he couldn't afford to embarrass him too much.

After watching the pig, deer, and butterfly families leave one after another.

Hiruzen Sarutobi then heard Tsunade say, "Old man, sometimes you should let the young people in the village use their talents. Don't always try to restrict their thoughts or actions."

With her back to the two pools of blood, Tsunade said earnestly, "The future of Konoha will ultimately depend on the younger generation. After all, you can't be Hokage forever, can you?"

"How do you know they can't do as well as you if you don't let young people use their talents?"

"Mute, the show's over, I'm leaving."

After saying that, Tsunade turned and left.

"Yes! Lady Tsunade, wait for me!"

Shizune, holding Tuntun, quickly followed.

on site.

Only Hiruzen Sarutobi, Koharu Utatane, Jiraiya, the Anbu ninjas, the Root ninjas, and the Sarutobi clan remained. An eerie silence fell over the entire scene.

Until the sound of footsteps accompanied by the tapping of a wooden cane on the ground was heard.

Mitokaku inflammation...

Late arrival.

Exhausted as well, Mitokado Homura paused slightly upon seeing the grand display at Hiruzen Sarutobi's camp. He tried to search for Uchiha Ikezumi but found nothing unusual.

“He came by once,” Xiaochun from the dorm said, breaking the silence. “He left a minute ago. You’re too late.”

Mitomon Yan vaguely noticed the corpses of a couple on the ground.

He sighed and asked, "So many people couldn't stop him?"

“We didn’t stop you.” Xiaochun, who was turning over in the dormitory, looked gloomy.

Mitokado Yan was taken aback.

Xiaochun, who had just moved to the next room, then told him what had happened.

“…Phew!” Mitokado Homura said bitterly, “There is indeed no reason to stop him. His justice is above the greater good. If we were to stop him, it would probably be a big problem for us.”

"Hiruzen, those people who were taken away by Ikezumi, after tonight, they are very likely to..."

Before Mitokado Homura could finish speaking, Sarutobi Hiruzen interrupted him.

"If they have indeed committed unforgivable atrocities in private, they are no longer members of my Sarutobi clan." Hiruzen Sarutobi had a taut old face, seemingly trying to show the iron will of the Hokage, but the weariness and confusion on his face could not be concealed.

"What did I do wrong to have so many villains among my people?"
This is the confusion in Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart.

He doesn't understand.

I don't understand at all
……

Uchiha Police Force.

The two police ninjas on night duty were yawning. Konoha's nightlife wasn't particularly vibrant, and trouble was rare, even late at night. The police ninjas on night duty were usually the most idle, sometimes going more than a month without a case.

"Ok?"

Just then, a police ninja noticed someone walking towards the police building.

And there are quite a few of them.

"Wait..." In the dim moonlight, he vaguely saw the somewhat familiar face of the leader. This made him gasp, his face showing a hint of horror.

"Uchiha Ikezumi!"

Two police ninjas watched as Uchiha Izumi and his group led in several dejected "prisoners," and then they saw three more people walk over.

"That is……"

"Yamanaka Haiichi?!"

They recognized one of them immediately. After all, the Yamanaka clan and the Uchiha police force had a cooperative relationship.

"The other two seem to be Nara Shikaku and Akimichi Choza. This is the Ino-Shika-Cho trio from Konoha!" A police ninja exclaimed with some emotion, "I heard... that the three of them have chosen to stand on the side of Uchiha Ikezumi's [Absolute Justice]."

In the past, which ninja clan would have been willing to stand on the side of the Uchiha clan, who were being ostracized by the Konoha leadership?
But ever since Uchiha Izumi became powerful...

Everything is different.

They didn't know what was going on, but for some reason they felt that they could straighten their backs when walking on the street.

……

Nara Shikaku walked into the police station building, looking around as he remarked, "This is my first time visiting the Uchiha Police Department building."

Akimichi Choza then said to Yamanaka Inoichi, "We're afraid it's not convenient for us to go further in with you, so we'll wait for you here."

Yamanaka Inoichi nodded slightly, and he walked in alone, familiar with the way, to the underground interrogation room of the Uchiha Police Department.

Then he saw four members of the Sarutobi clan sitting on four cold benches in the same interrogation room.

As Yamanaka Inoichi entered the interrogation room, he nodded slightly to Uchiha Ikezumi, a silent greeting.

Uchiha Ikezumi nodded silently in acknowledgment.

"You are... the chieftain of the mountain tribe..."

Red Bean looked at Yamanaka Inoichi in surprise.

Beside him, Izumi explained, "Senior Izumi and Chief Yamanaka have a very close working relationship. Most of the time, after Senior Izumi kills a villain, he needs the Yamanaka clan to investigate the corpse's memory so that they can record more detailed evidence of the villain's crimes."

Hongdou suddenly realized.

"Chi Quan, I'm afraid they haven't confessed yet?"

Yamanaka Hiichi asked.

“No.” Uchiha Ikezumi crossed his arms and leaned against the cold wall of the interrogation room, saying calmly, “Perhaps he realized that his fate wouldn’t change and wanted to cause us some trouble. Just as he was preparing to use some drastic measures, you arrived.”

Yamanaka Inoichi remarked, "I thought you would kill them all first and then wait for me to come and search their memories."

These words startled the four members of the Sarutobi clan, turning their faces pale.

Uchiha Ikezumi said, "That might mean you don't know me well enough. I only resort to the extreme measure of killing when villains resist the judgment of justice. If they are willing to cooperate, I don't mind going through the proper procedures."

"That's it..."

Yamanaka Inoichi smiled slightly on his usually stern and expressionless face.

Yamanaka Inoichi asked, "Shall I go first, or will you go first?"

"Me."

The two spoke with the tacit understanding of having worked together for many years. Uchiha Ikezumi took a few steps forward and stood in front of the ninja named "Sarutobi Kyoya," looking down at the other's somewhat forced calm face.

Before Uchiha Ikezumi could speak, Yamanaka Inoichi said to the four men, "Here's a friendly reminder: you'd better reveal all your crimes. You don't want Ikezumi to take action."

The four members of the Sarutobi clan all wore expressions of fear, confusion, and hesitation.

"I'll give you ten seconds," Uchiha Izumi said indifferently. "If you don't speak after ten seconds, I'll consider you a tough nut to crack."

"ten."

"Nine."

"Eight……"

“Uchiha Ikezumi… Anyway, you’re going to kill me anyway.” Sarutobi Kyoya gritted his teeth, glaring at Uchiha Ikezumi: “Stop this hypocritical interrogation! Even the Hokage has declared me a Konoha rogue ninja, what are you still hesitating for? Either release me, or kill me!”

"……one."

"zero."

Uchiha Izumi's eyes suddenly transformed into the Mangekyou Sharingan.

A terrifying illusion from the Mangekyou Sharingan.

It was instantly implanted into Sarutobi Kyoya's mind!
moment.

Sarutobi Kyoya's expression suddenly froze, then, as if he had witnessed something extremely horrific, his face visibly contorted with terror and despair. Bound to the cold bench by sturdy steel wire, he began to struggle frantically, unconsciously uttering desperate whimpers.

As he struggled, the steel wire cut into his fragile skin, leaving bloody marks and dripping blood.

Snot and tears streamed down his face as he sobbed, his voice trembling as he rapidly muttered to himself, "Don't come any closer, don't come any closer... What's wrong with me doing this for money?"

He saw the Konoha ninja who was killed because he betrayed information; he saw Hyuga Hizashi who was forced to take Hyuga Hiashi's place and die because he colluded with the Kumogakure ninja; he saw the passerby who was crushed to death by shoddy construction because he embezzled project funds; and he saw the passerby's heartbroken family members.

Each of them murmured in his ear, some in bewilderment, some in anger, some in calm, some in sorrow. Each sound overlapped and overwhelmed him, frantically stimulating his mind.

"Don't come here...don't come here..."

His voice grew louder and louder, sounding increasingly terrified and desperate, as if the taut string of his mind was about to snap.

"Don't come over!!!"

Until a desperate roar, his face contorted with bulging veins, passed by.

Sarutobi Kyoya's eyes glazed over as he stopped, an indescribable odor filling the interrogation room. There, beneath his genitals, was an unspeakable filth.

He was trembling all over.

He raised his head in a trembling, bewildered state, and those terrifying, scarlet Mangekyou Sharingan eyes came into view.

"Illusion... illusion magic?!"

"Looks like you don't need me anymore." Yamanaka Inoichi shook his head helplessly. The Sharingan genjutsu was just as unscrupulous as the Yamanaka clan's secret techniques when used for interrogation. He could tell that this Sarutobi clan ninja's mind had already broken down.

The other three people.

They were all terrified.

As expected, the interrogation that followed was not difficult. Uchiha Ikezumi only asked a few simple questions, and the four members of the Sarutobi clan answered everything, even revealing some of the ridiculous things they had done as children. As for the evil deeds they had committed, there was no need to elaborate.

Yamanaka Inoichi frowned upon hearing this.

He shook his head helplessly.

“This is how the ninja world is.” Uchiha Izumi glanced at him and said, “When the ninja world can be fundamentally changed, things will get better.”

Yamanaka Inoichi asked, "Ikezumi, can your justice truly normalize the sick ninja world? Can it truly help the people of the ninja world find genuinely positive values ​​and morality?"

"Yes." Uchiha Ikezumi said firmly, "I am never confused about this point."

Yamanaka Inoichi smiled and said, "It's probably precisely because of your confidence that I've decided to take a gamble and bet on you."

Quan, who had taken in all of this, suddenly seemed to be deep in thought.

Maybe.

Before meeting his senior, the senior was not alone; he had friends and people who supported his ideals. It's just that those who supported him at that time did not make their support public.

As for why we're now putting it out in the open, and even taking sides in a completely aboveboard manner.

Quan speculated...

Perhaps people like Yamanaka Inoichi have realized that the ninja world does indeed need to change.

Moreover, it is urgent.

"Newcomer."

"Here!" Izumi instinctively shouted after he had just finished recording everyone's misdeeds.

Uchiha Izumi looked at Anko, who hadn't said a word: "What was your reaction?"

Hongdou was taken aback, but immediately realized that Chiquan had already regarded her as a newcomer who believed in [absolute justice]!
Although Chi Quan was the same age as him, and even his former classmate at the ninja academy, he was now far inferior to Chi Quan in status.

Lower your own position.

No big deal.

"To!"

The red bean is imitating the spring.

"Execute each of them on the spot. Make three copies of tonight's report: one for Fugaku, one for the Third Hokage, and the last one to be sealed in the Uchiha Police Department's archives."

"Yes!"×2
……

After one hour.

It was already four in the morning when Konoha Village was finally completely quiet.

Having finished their work, Quan and Hongdou each left with their own feelings.

The three clan leaders, Pig, Deer, and Butterfly, also returned.

Uchiha Ikezumi did not return home. He slowly exhaled, rubbed his tired brows, and was about to leave when a slightly strange voice suddenly sounded from behind him.

"Meow, Lord Ikezumi, take me with you." Tachibana Jiro said, standing behind Uchiha Ikezumi. "Lord Ikezumi, you're going to find that little girl who lost her parents tonight, right?"

It paused for a moment, then continued, "Actually, sometimes it's quite easy to guess what Lord Chiquan is thinking, meow. Moreover, Lord Chiquan has encountered similar situations before."

"Six years ago, Lord Chi Quan, you handled a similar case—a beastly husband beat and humiliated his daughter, causing her to suffer from mental illness. In her anger, the mother tried to kill her beastly husband, but she was no match for him and instead ended up taking her own life."

"Lady Ikezumi killed that beastly husband. But at that time, Lady Ikezumi did not realize that there was another victim—the depressed daughter. It wasn't until the next day, when she learned that her mother had been killed, that she, who was already somewhat mentally ill, took her own life."

"In her suicide note, she stated that she had the blood of a sinner flowing in her veins, that she was filthy and defiled, and that she should not live in this world, so she should just leave."

Tachibana Jiro's eyes were complicated: "Lord Ikezumi once said that it was a tragedy that should not have happened, and that it was a mistake due to the negligence of justice."

"One mistake led to the death of a victim. At the time, Lord Ikezumi felt guilty for a long time."

At this point, Tachibana Jiro scratched his face in a human-like manner with his cat paw.

It laughed and said, "Many people in the village think that Lord Chiquan is like an inhuman robot, including some people who think they know Lord Chiquan well. But Lord Chiquan just keeps all his emotions hidden in his heart and doesn't show them."

"Because Lord Ikezumi believes that if justice reveals emotions, it is easy for villains to see it as absolute justice becoming weak, and it will make villains naively believe that absolute justice has a weakness."

Uchiha Izumi was silent for half a second before speaking: "Sometimes, you, as an outsider, understand me better than I do."

"Let's go."

"Yes, Lord Chiquan!"

……

The residence of the Sarutobi clan.

No one expected that Uchiha Ikezumi, who had only been gone a short while, would make a surprise return. However...

This time, Uchiha Ikezumi did not enter openly through the main gate, but instead used "Transparent Release" to silently enter the Sarutobi clan's residence.

Without anyone noticing, he arrived at a simple two-story house, jumped onto the second-floor balcony, and went inside.

Uchiha Ikezumi heard a very faint sob.

In the pitch black, he could clearly see a little girl, only ten years old, tightly hugging a pillow, curling up her rather thin body under a thin blanket.

Tears and snot had already soaked the pillow.

"Woooooooo..."

"Mother...I'm so scared..."

“My father has become so terrible… He hit me, yelled at me, and even tried to kill me by choking me… If I hadn’t bitten him, he wouldn’t have even come to his senses…”

"It hurts so much... Father told me not to tell you. He said if I dared to tell anyone, he would kill you, Mother. And if I dared to tell anyone, he would kill me."

"Woooooooo..."

Sakurako Sarutobi buried her face deep in the pillow, her petite body trembling. The beating she had suffered at home three days ago kept replaying in her mind, making her feel that indescribable pain wash over her once again. (Edited)
Her home, which should have been a haven, instead became a place that hurt her, leaving her heart shrouded in fear and darkness.

But at that moment, the sound of light footsteps startled Sarutobi Sakurako.

The footsteps were heavy; it didn't sound like Mom.

Is it...

A look of terror gradually crept into her eyes, and her already trembling body shook even more violently. She tried to curl herself into a ball, attempting to protect herself from harm in this humiliating way.

and many more.

That footstep sounded so unfamiliar...

It doesn't seem to be my father either.

Sakurako Sarutobi's fear intensified, and her anxiety made her pray that her mother could hear what was happening in her room. However... her mother had come in more than an hour ago and warned her not to go out tonight.

So... is Mother at home? And at this moment, am I the only one at home?
Trembling with extreme panic, she suddenly threw off the covers.

She grabbed the thin blanket and threw it forward with a scream.

She then hurriedly got out of bed, calling out "Mother" as she tried to run out of the room.

Before she could run two steps, the intense pain made her kneel down, tears streaming down her face.

"Lord Ikezumi, she seems to be injured..." Tachibana Jiro had just said this when he suddenly remembered something and immediately fell silent.

The strange tone of Tachibana Jiro's voice made Sarutobi Sakurako instinctively look hastily in the direction from which the sound came.

The moonlight streaming through the balcony allowed her to see a very fat cat.

It also allowed her to see a pair of scarlet eyes.

In an instant, the genjutsu from the Mangekyou Sharingan was implanted into her body. A beautifully woven dream was constantly washing away the deepest fears and anxieties in Sarutobi Sakurako's heart, and also forcing her to forget some painful memories that she shouldn't have.

"Only very young children can have their deepest, darkest memories affected by the Mangekyou Sharingan's genjutsu. If they are even a little older, these dark and painful memories will accompany them for the rest of their lives and can never be erased."

Uchiha Ikezumi slowly exhaled, gazing at Sarutobi Sakurako, who lay sprawled on the ground as if asleep.

"Lord Chiquan, she probably wouldn't dare tell her mother about her injuries. I can smell the festering wounds... But how could she possibly imagine that her only support, her mother, is also a disgusting murderer? Human nature is truly beyond a cat's comprehension."

Jiro Tachibana said in a somewhat somber tone.

"Do you remember where Tsunade lives?" Uchiha Ikezumi asked Tachibana Jiro.

"I remember." Tachibana Jiro perked up.

"Take her to Tsunade." Uchiha Ikezumi stepped forward, picked up the thin blanket and wrapped it around Sarutobi Sakurako, then gently lifted her up, his movements so light that he didn't wake her.

Upon reaching the second-floor balcony of the bedroom, Uchiha Ikezumi suddenly stopped, seemingly speaking to thin air: "Just take her to Tsunade for treatment. She'll come back after she's healed. As for how to explain her parents' fate to her then, I think that should be your responsibility as the Third Hokage of Konoha."

Tachibana Jiro, who was following behind, was taken aback. Its nose twitched slightly as it suddenly smelled a slightly familiar scent.

The Third Hokage?

Just as Tachibana Jiro was slightly startled, he saw Izumi-sama leap off the second-floor balcony.

It quickly caught up.

……

"……Ugh."

Outside Sarutobi Sakurako's bedroom on the second floor, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was standing in front of the door but did not push it open, sighed. The complex expression in his eyes was hard to describe.

He felt no anger or dissatisfaction what Uchiha Ikezumi had done tonight.

Could a good person go to such lengths as Chi Quan?

When this question popped into Hiruzen Sarutobi's mind.

He got the answer in the next second.

--cannot!
If there were truly many good people like this in the ninja world, there wouldn't be so many villains, nor would it be so morbidly twisted.

Another question flashed through Hiruzen Sarutobi's mind.

He himself, the Hokage of Konoha...

Is it really up to standard?
……

"Lady Tsunade, why are you drinking again after you came back from gambling?"

Meanwhile, in a room at an inn in Konoha, Shizune looked helpless and said earnestly, "It's almost dawn, Lady Tsunade, aren't you going to sleep?"

"Feeling down, I'll have some wine to clear my head." Tsunade's casual sitting posture was quite unrefined. She grabbed the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

Silence: "..."

Who ever stays sober after drinking? Aren't they all getting more and more confused the more they drink?

After drinking another cup, Tsunade suddenly said, "Shizune, do you think that if a person has enough power to do certain things, but those things have nothing to do with him, even if he doesn't do them, no one will morally condemn him?"

"And if he doesn't do it, he'll be happy to have some peace and quiet. In that case... would he still need to do things that are unnecessary?"

Shizune paused for a moment, then thought about it seriously and replied, "Lady Tsunade, some things can only be known whether they should be done or whether they are worth doing by trying them yourself."

She scratched her head, embarrassed, and said, "I can't really explain it myself. Besides, you are my teacher, Lady Tsunade, yet you ask me this kind of question. I don't know how to answer it."

knock--

Suddenly, a knocking sound outside the door startled Shizune. She had just assumed a ready-to-fight stance when she suddenly remembered that this was Konoha Village; there shouldn't be any enemies here.

Why would someone come looking for Lady Tsunade in the middle of the night?
Could it be Jiraiya, who keeps bothering Tsunade?
With a hint of doubt, Jingyin opened the sliding door to the room.

"Huh?!" Shizune's eyes widened as an unexpected person appeared before her: "Uchiha Izumi?"

"Hmm? Uchiha Ikezumi?"

Inside the room, Tsunade lifted her droopy eyelids, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes: "Hey, you little brat, what are you doing here? Wait, what about that little girl you're holding..."

As if remembering something, Tsunade toned down her previously carefree and even slightly revealing sitting posture.

She frowned: "Could she be...?"

“Sarutobi Kazuki and Sarutobi Mezuki’s daughter,” Uchiha Ikezumi said. “She has never told her mother about the damage her father caused her. The wounds have become very serious.”

"...Hoo!" Tsunade exhaled a breath of alcohol, her expression turning serious. "Put her down. I'll heal her. When she wakes up, I'll see if I can counsel her. If that doesn't work, I can try taking her on as a disciple and having her stay by my side. Over time, we can see if we can eliminate her psychological trauma and help her achieve a healthy mind and body."

Uchiha Ikezumi said, "I've given her a beautiful dream, and she won't remember it when she wakes up."

Tsunade was taken aback: "Like those kids in Tanabata Street?"

"Hmm." Uchiha Ikezumi gently put Sarutobi Sakura down.

Tsunade paused for half a second: "If everyone in the Uchiha clan could use Sharingan genjutsu like you, the reputation of the Uchiha clan would probably see a significant turnaround throughout Konoha."

Only then did Shizune realize what was going on.

She hurriedly said, "Lady Tsunade, why don't I handle this? Your hemophobia might be..."

"Need not."

Tsunade's eyes clouded over as she pulled back the thin blanket covering Sarutobi Sakurako, breathing in the faint smell of her worsening wounds.

It's unclear what she was feeling, but as Uchiha Ikezumi closed her eyes and turned around, her hands trembled slightly as she helped the sleeping Sarutobi Sakurako take off her pajama bottoms.

"The wound... has become stuck to the fabric of my pants."

Tsunade's hands were shaking.

His voice was trembling.

“Mute…” Tsunade bit her lower lip hard, her voice low and trembling as she said, “Bring me my medical equipment kit.”

"Lady Tsunade..." Shizune noticed that Tsunade's hemophobia had flared up again. Lady Tsunade's condition seemed very bad, and her hemophobia was likely to worsen at any moment.

"speed!"

Tsunade's tone became more forceful.

"Yes!"

……

"Lord Ikezumi?" Tachibana Jiro clearly noticed that when Lord Ikezumi slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were filled with a solemn killing intent.

But Lord Izumi's murderous intent was not directed at Tsunade or Shizune, but at the incurable evil of the ninja world.

"fine."

The murderous intent in Uchiha Ikezumi's eyes dissipated, and her expression returned to normal.
Only when there are so few people around him that almost no one is paying attention to him will his expression show more obvious emotional fluctuations, even if these emotional fluctuations are only fleeting.

He walked quietly outside, closed the sliding door, and then left the hotel.

But at this moment.

Suddenly sensing something, Uchiha Ikezumi shifted his gaze to the left and saw a short figure dressed in ANBU ninja attire standing on a telephone pole about twenty meters to his left.

A pair of scarlet Sharingan eyes with three tomoe were fixed on Uchiha Ikezumi.

"Uchiha Itachi..."

Tachibana Jiro, standing nearby, narrowed its eyes. Its arched back was slightly bristling, giving the impression that it would instantly pounce at the slightest movement from its opponent.

"Lord Chiquan, is this guy here to cause trouble?"

"His gaze really annoys the cat!" said Tachibana Jiro.

“That’s the look you give an enemy.” Uchiha Izumi’s gaze met Uchiha Itachi’s in mid-air. He said indifferently, “My actions tonight probably posed a ‘threat’ to his beloved Konoha in his eyes. However, he won’t cause any trouble tonight, because someone is watching him.”

The words fell.

Standing on the telephone pole, Uchiha Itachi, who was staring intently at Uchiha Ikezumi, seemed to sense something as well.

He turned his head in surprise to his right and saw Uchiha Fugaku standing in an alley.

Itachi Uchiha frowned slightly.

"Father?"

Fugaku took a deep breath. Instead of hiding himself, he stepped forward openly and looked up at Itachi, saying, "Itachi, don't put the Uchiha clan in danger. If you clash with Ikezumi, the aftermath of the battle will affect many innocent people in the village. If you truly love the village, do you want to see that happen?"

"What you're doing won't save Konoha; instead, it will only put Konoha in an even more dangerous situation. That... is definitely not what you want to see, is it, Itachi?"

Itachi fell silent. In truth, he didn't know why he had come to find Uchiha Ikezumi.

He just instinctively felt that the other party had already threatened the Hokage and Konoha.

The hostility within oneself arises naturally.

"I understand," Itachi Uchiha murmured.

—Within Konoha, Uchiha Izumi cannot be killed; otherwise, the commotion might exceed our expectations. If we wish to be his enemy, we must at least do so outside of Konoha. We should emulate Sarutobi Asuma's plan, not Shimura Danzo's.

These thoughts flashed through Itachi Uchiha's mind.

What Fugaku said had a certain meaning, but when it reached Itachi's ears, it was filtered through his mind in a very subjective way and immediately became a different meaning.

Uchiha Itachi gave a deep look at Uchiha Ikezumi, who was not far away.

His body suddenly separated with a "bang".

They transformed into one black crow after another.

The person vanished instantly.

Fugaku breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want Itachi to be unable to reach his "caliber" before he could cause unpredictable consequences by becoming an enemy of Ikezumi.

It seems... Itachi did listen to advice; he is ultimately the child I can be most proud of.

Then, Fugaku looked at Uchiha Ikezumi, who was about 20 meters away.

His eyes held a complex expression.

Although Fugaku's voice wasn't loud, it was still clearly audible to Uchiha Ikezumi in the quiet night: "Ikezumi, can I ask you a question? I'll be going back after I ask."

Recalling how many times Uchiha Ikezumi had disrespected him as the clan leader, repeatedly turning away without a word.

Fugaku immediately asked, "How exactly did you manage to repeatedly gain the upper hand when confronting the Hokage and the others, and prevent them from ever having a reason to attack you?"

The limited time forced him to ask a very direct question.

Uchiha Ikezumi glanced at him and said, "You'll never get an answer when you ask that question."

Fugaku was taken aback: "Why..."

"As the head of the Uchiha clan, you harbored a deep-seated insecurity; when standing before the Third Hokage and the others, your inferiority complex emanated from the depths of your soul; your wavering stance was appalling; your mentality of retreating and giving up when faced with overwhelming pressure; and your incomprehensible act of abandoning a four-year-old child to the battlefield..."

Uchiha Ikezumi coldly pointed out one flaw after another that left Fugaku stunned and speechless.

He tacitly agreed, "Someone like you doesn't even know how to be a good father or a good Uchiha clan leader, yet you want to know the answers to your questions?"

"What you should do is learn how to be a person and how to establish your correct moral values. My suggestion is that you go back to the ninja academy and repeat six years."

"Instead of asking me for answers."

“Oh right…” Uchiha Izumi added, “It would be best to bring Uchiha Itachi along. That neurotic illiterate guy needs to repeat six years, and it has to be academic subjects.”

Fugaku: “…”
