Konoha: The Absolute Justice of the Uchiha

Chapter 21 [Absolute Justice] Transcending Public and Private (Please keep reading!!!)
A few minutes later, only Uchiha Fugaku, the Uchiha ninja who had reported the Gekko clan case to Fugaku, and Uzumaki Naruto, who had been left there by Uchiha Ikezumi, remained in the office.

Uchiha Ikezumi and Izumi have already left the police force building.

Fugaku and Naruto were staring at each other, one eye wide open.

Looking at the somewhat disheveled and youthful face of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Fugaku saw a resemblance to the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze.

When Minato was still alive, the relationship between the Uchiha clan and Konoha was relatively peaceful.

pity……

A complex look flashed in Fugaku's eyes. He recalled the questions he had asked Uchiha Ikezumi before he left the office: "Ikezumi, are you prepared for the backlash if you insist on imprisoning Naruto in Konoha Prison?"

"What you did today will probably spread throughout Konoha in less than half a day. Everyone will know that you brought Naruto Uzumaki to the Uchiha compound."

"and……"

"Are you prepared to suppress those restless members of the Uchiha clan?!"

If the hawks within the clan knew that the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was currently within the Uchiha clan's territory...

Their little schemes will probably come to life in an instant.

Fugaku couldn't guarantee that no extreme situations might occur.

He remembered that Uchiha Ikezumi simply replied, "Absolute justice transcends public and private matters."

Fugaku probably understood what the pond meant.

—If there are any extreme clansmen who intend to use the power of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki to commit heinous acts that trample on justice, Ikezumi will not consider any kinship ties based on blood ties.

He will do it like he did with the Root ninja.

Kill your own kind without hesitation!
“Absolute justice…” Fugaku took a deep breath, stared at Naruto, and murmured to himself, “It really is absolute.”

Fugaku remembers even more clearly the shocking information that Ikezumi uttered the moment she stepped out the door.

—Shimura Danzo had Sharingan eyes transplanted into his body from the Uchiha clan, and... he had more than one Sharingan.

—He can also use "Izanagi"!
This unbelievable information sent chills down Fugaku's spine.

Yes.

Uchiha Ikezumi had no responsibility or obligation to keep Danzo's secret.

He directly exposed Danzo's trump card.

……

"You born evil Uchiha brat!!!" Even after returning to the Root base, Danzo could hardly suppress the rage in his heart, and he almost ground his old teeth to dust.

A brief clash resulted in the loss of two elite members for Root.

It cost him a three-tomoe Sharingan and an ear.

Danzo originally had bandages wrapped around his head to conceal his transplanted Sharingan. Now, he has bandages wrapped around his head to cover the piercing pain in his ear.

and……

What he found even more unacceptable was that the power of "Izanagi" was very likely exposed to the other party!
The consequences of the hunt for bloodline limits are something even Danzo is finding difficult to bear now.

"Damn it! It's all the monkey's fault for suddenly appearing. If he hadn't interfered, I would have killed that evil Uchiha brat long ago and nipped the risk of exposure in the bud!"

Danzo became increasingly agitated the more he thought about it.

Then a voice suddenly rang out: "But if I hadn't appeared in time, I'm afraid you would still be in the dark, unaware that you have a Sharingan transplanted into your body!"

Danzo's pupils narrowed.

He recognized the voice as that of Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Looking in the direction from which the sound came, they indeed saw Hiruzen Sarutobi appear uninvited.

Furthermore, the two ANBU squads led by Hiruzen Sarutobi had already silently taken control of several Root ninjas, preventing them from notifying Danzo in time. "I don't know what you're talking about!" Danzo's first reaction to Hiruzen Sarutobi's words was to vehemently deny them.

He said with a sullen face and a sarcastic tone, "I just replaced the Root base a few months ago, and you still managed to find it... Hiruzen, you really are well-informed!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi, with his hands behind his back, said, "I am the Hokage of Konoha. Isn't it only natural that the Hokage knows everything about the village?"

"Danzo, Ikezumi has already told me your secret. You say you don't know what I'm talking about, so can you show me what's hidden under your bandages?"

He stared intently at Danzo.

It was noticeable that Danzo's complexion was becoming increasingly unpleasant.

Hiruzen Sarutobi said in a deep voice, "You and I have been comrades-in-arms for many years. You may be able to fool others with your expression, but you can't fool me. Now, give me an explanation for why I don't want to dismiss you!"

"You want to dismiss me?" Danzo's face was full of disbelief. "How many merits have I made for Konoha over the years? Just for the so-called Sharingan, you want to dismiss me?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's gaze was deep and unfathomable: "So, I'm giving you a chance. You have to give me an explanation that will satisfy everyone."

Danzo suddenly realized what he meant and sneered, "You just wanted an explanation that would satisfy 'you,' didn't you?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi did not respond to this.

He was simply gazing silently at Danzo.

……

"Uchiha Ikezumi... has captured a Jinchuriki?" Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, two of the Konoha's high-ranking officials, quickly received information that was beyond their comprehension.

Although it was called intelligence, the news had actually spread throughout most of Konoha.

However, most villagers only knew that Naruto Uzumaki had a rumor similar to "the incarnation of a demon fox".

I have no concept of "Tailed Beast Jinchuriki".

"And... Hiruzen was there too?" Koharu Utatane found it unbelievable: "How could he let a Jinchuriki be captured by the Uchiha clan? And even in the Uchiha's stronghold!"

Koharu Utatane couldn't sit still any longer. She stood up, paced back and forth, and said, "No! We must bring the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki out! We absolutely cannot let him stay in the Uchiha clan's territory any longer!"

"otherwise……"

Recalling the Nine-Tails' rampage several years ago, Koharu Utatane couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine.

Just as she was frowning in thought, she noticed that Mitokado Homura hadn't said a word. She couldn't help but glare at him and said with dissatisfaction, "Why don't you say something?"

Mitokado Homura said in a deep voice, "Do you think it's so easy to bring back the person that Uchiha Ikezumi captured? That's an Uchiha clan that even Hiruzen found troublesome."

Koharu Utatane gritted her teeth and said, "Are we just going to sit idly by and watch the Nine-Tails' rampage happen again?"

"We have no need to have a direct conflict with Uchiha Ikezumi."

Mitomon Homura said quietly, "We just need to put pressure on Fugaku. After all, Fugaku is the Chief of Police, and Uchiha Ikezumi is just a member of the police force."

"I think Hiruzen thought the same thing. There are many ways to bring the Jinchuriki back without going through the so-called 'absolute justice' that Uchiha Izumi keeps talking about."

"Our Konoha Village will always be a Konoha that prioritizes balance and order, never a Konoha of absolute justice."

Hearing this, Koharu Tsurugi gradually calmed down.

"Then, let's see what Hiruzen does."
