Konoha: The Absolute Justice of the Uchiha

Chapter 2 The First Lesson in Enforcing Justice

Uchiha Ikezumi turned around and saw a girl with long, straight black hair standing hesitantly behind him.

"Senior Chi Quan, I...I..."

Izumi suddenly stopped, the gaze from her senior, Uchiha Izumi, made her unconsciously tense.

Even though he could muster the courage to communicate with other seniors, and even with the head of the Fugaku family.

But in front of this "Uchiha Izumi" senior, I was so nervous that I didn't know what to say!
"say."

Uchiha Ikezumi spoke up.

Izumi was startled and quickly introduced himself: "My name is Uchiha Izumi! I participated in this year's police force recruitment assessment. When the head of the Fugaku family asked me to choose an examiner, I... I chose you, Izumi-senpai, to be my examiner."

However, when faced with the sharp, scrutinizing gaze of this veteran police officer, her voice grew softer and softer.

In the end, he didn't even dare to look up and meet Uchiha Ikezumi's gaze.

"The examiner? Choose me?"

Uchiha Ikezumi looked at the girl and commented expressionlessly, "Although you look weak, you are at least courageous."

Uchiha Ikezumi forced a smile: "Passing my test is simple. Within a month, don't give me the thought of killing you, and you'll have passed."

"Oh, wait a minute, a mouse is trying to escape."

spring:"???"

what?
Just as Izumi was in a daze, she was shocked to see Uchiha Izumi suddenly draw her ninja sword from her waist.

The ninja sword flashed a silver arc through the air, and a streak of crimson blood entered Izumi's vision.

next second.

She watched as a short man suddenly collapsed to the ground.

—The man's left leg was severed!

"Ahhhhh!!!"

The short man's piercing screams and the pervasive smell of blood were testing Quan's psychological endurance.

She instinctively took a half step back.

I was so nervous that sweat was pouring down my forehead.

"Uchiha Izumi." Uchiha Izumi flicked the blood off his sword.

"Huh?" Quan, who was worried that the man on the ground might bleed to death, hurriedly looked up in alarm.

Uchiha Ikezumi frowned: "When I call your name, you have to say 'Here'."

"Oh... Ah, here!"

Quan hurriedly changed his tune.

"You think you can join the police force while speaking so softly?" Uchiha Izumi said coldly, "I can't hear what you're saying at all. Is this your attitude towards joining the police force? Can you uphold the word 'justice' with this kind of attitude? You might as well go home and be a good girl!"

The head of the Fugaku family was right. Senior Ikezumi is really strict. I got a thorough scolding on our first meeting.

Quan could only muster all his strength.

Her little face turned red.

"arrive!!!!"

Seeing that the senior's cold gaze softened slightly, Quan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“That…” Quan hesitated.

"explain."

She hurriedly reminded him, "Senior, if this person on the ground isn't treated quickly, he might bleed to death."

"How much longer can he live?" Uchiha Izumi asked a question that surprised Izumi.

She answered quickly, "He might go into shock within 10 minutes."

“There’s plenty of time.” Uchiha Ichisen said to Izumi, “Rookie, I’m giving you a task.”

Izumi swallowed hard and said, "Senior, I haven't learned medical ninjutsu. How about... we take him to Konoha Hospital?"

Uchiha Ikezumi glanced at her: "Who told you to take him for treatment?"

"Huh?" Quan had forgotten how many times she had been confused today.

She stammered, "What you mean, senior..." Uchiha Izumi handed over the ninja sword, and Izumi instinctively reached out and took it.

Uchiha Ikezumi said without a change in expression, "Prove to me your resolve to join the police force. Take this knife and interrogate this guy. Ask him—where is the child's body? You only have ten minutes. If you can't get anything out of him, then go back home and don't bother coming back to me tomorrow."

Trial...

Interrogation?

Izumi was dumbfounded. She couldn't help but look around; this was one of the most bustling streets in Konoha. Scanning her surroundings, she couldn't even count how many people were on this street!

Is this how a civilian whose leg has been cut off is being openly interrogated?

Moreover, why interrogate this question using a "child's corpse"?
Is this the consistent practice of the Uchiha Police Force? Or is this simply the personal style of Uchiha Ikezumi-senpai?

She tried to steal a glance at Uchiha Ikezumi's eyes.

I noticed that this senior's eyes were gradually becoming cold.

Quan was suddenly startled.

The reminders from the head of the Fugaku family and that female police officer senior flashed through her mind.

"Don't disobey his orders if you want to live."

"Good luck, sometimes surviving is a matter of luck."

Quan was scared.

She gripped the still-warm ninja sword hilt tightly, cold sweat pouring from her smooth, fair forehead.

A strong will to survive made her take a few steps forward and interrogate the short man who was clutching his broken leg and wailing, "Where...where did you hide that child's body?!"

A flicker of panic flashed in the short man's pained and desperate eyes.

"Quickly...quickly get me to Konoha Hospital!"

He didn't answer Izumi's evasive interrogation, but instead screamed in panic, "My head is spinning more and more, and I'm bleeding more and more! Am I going to die?! Help me! I don't want to die! Help... help me!!!"

I don't want to die either—this is the cry from Izumi's heart.

Where exactly did you hide the child's body?

Izumi tried to calm herself down. She believed that Senior Izumi wouldn't ask her this question for no reason, and said repeatedly, "You have to answer my question quickly so I can take you to Konoha Hospital. You can't hold on for more than a few minutes!"

The short man was still screaming in terror, "I don't know anything about children! I don't know anything! Please, save me!"

"senior……"

Izumi wanted to look to Uchiha Izumi for help, but found that his senior was standing by with his arms crossed, watching coldly.

She couldn't read a single emotion in those cold eyes.

She suddenly had a suffocating feeling.

This feeling...

I am very familiar with the spring.

Several years ago, on the night of the Nine-Tailed Fox, when I encountered that enormous nine-tailed monster, I experienced the same feeling—the despair and suffocation of my life about to end!
Izumi's will to survive once again outweighed her compassion. With a hardened heart, she grabbed her ninja sword and held it to the short man's neck, gritting her teeth as she said, "Last chance! Where is the child's body!"

The sharp blade had already drawn a line of blood from the short man's neck.

The short man's eyes widened in terror. A throbbing pain in his neck made him panic: "I...I didn't mean to...I didn't want to kill her. You have to believe me! You really have to believe me! She...she's still my daughter..."

“I was just joking with her. I… I didn’t expect her to die… I threw her into the dry well in the yard.”

Quan was stunned.

The short man's fragmented words revealed a shocking piece of information—the man that Senior Chi Quan had asked her to interrogate in public had actually killed his own daughter! And he had even thrown her body into a dry well!

This is a murderer!

"Newcomer. This is your first lesson in serving [justice] as a member of the Uchiha Police Force." Uchiha Izumi's voice slowly sounded behind Izumi: "—Always carry out the orders I give you."

"Unquestionable."

"Irresistible".

"No mistakes allowed."
