Konoha: The Absolute Justice of the Uchiha

Chapter 61 Hunting Danzo!

Just as Yamanaka Inoichi was about to call his clansmen over to work, two figures suddenly burst into the Yamanaka clan's territory and blocked his way.

"……root?!"

The Root ninja's masks were very unique, and Yamanaka Inoichi recognized the strange patterned mask immediately.

He frowned.

They became alert.

"Why did Root suddenly show up uninvited?" Yamanaka Ino asked expressionlessly. He didn't want to get involved with Root because he knew Danzo's ambition for the Hokage position.

Danzo's desire to become Hokage was like the Uchiha clan's plot to stage a coup—a "secret" that many people could guess.

The Yamanaka clan ultimately sided with the Hokage.

He naturally felt a sense of unease towards Danzo, who wanted to usurp the throne.

Of course, Yamanaka Inoichi also wanted to distance himself from the Uchiha clan, who were plotting a coup. Unfortunately, Uchiha Ikezumi was sending police officers with corpses every day, so even though Yamanaka Inoichi wanted to distance himself, he couldn't avoid contact with them because of the need to perform autopsies.

At this moment, the Root ninja standing on the left said in a cold tone: "Clan Chief Inoichi, these eight corpses are all Root ninjas. The Yamanaka clan has no right to explore the secrets in their brains."

The Root ninja standing on the right added, "You are not allowed to touch these corpses. Our people will come and take them away."

Yamanaka Inoichi's pupils contracted almost imperceptibly.

Are all eight corpses Root ninjas? Has Uchiha Izumi clashed with Konoha's Root again?
"it is good."

Since Danzo is willing to clean up this mess, Yamanaka Inoichi is also happy not to cause trouble for himself.

……

Not long after.

Sure enough, quite a few more Root ninjas arrived at the Yamanaka clan's residence.

Furthermore, Yamanaka Inoichi discovered that the leader was none other than Shimura Danzo!
Danzo stood beside Yamanaka Inoichi, silently gazing at the eight corpses covered with white sheets. A gentle night breeze lifted the sheet from one of the corpses, revealing a face that Danzo found somewhat familiar…

Danzo took a deep breath.

"Uchiha Ike!" The veins on the backs of his hands were bulging from his tightly clenched fists as Danzo forced out the name Uchiha Ike.

Standing to the side, Yamanaka Inoichi could clearly sense the immense anger simmering within this high-ranking Konoha official.

Yamanaka Inoichi also noticed that Danzo suddenly turned his head and glared at him.

Yamanaka Haiichi: "???"

“I haven’t even started examining their memories yet.” He felt unjustly blamed, which made Yamanaka Inoichi somewhat annoyed, so much so that his explanation sounded rather cold.

While speaking, Yamanaka Inoichi glanced at Danzo's left ear and noticed that the guy's left ear was missing.

Danzo then gave Yamanaka Inoichi a deep look.

Only after I have removed the monkey from his position, and every single person in the mountain tribe has to be marked with the seal of "the root of all evil," will I feel a little more at ease with them.

They know too much!

Of course, Danzo only considered these words in his mind.

After watching the Root ninjas he had brought carry the corpses one by one, he walked straight out of the Yamanaka clan's residence.

But just then, Danzo suddenly realized that something was not quite right.

"and many more!"

Danzo frowned and immediately called out to his subordinates who were preparing to carry the corpse back to the Root base.

A sharp gaze swept in all directions.

Seeing Danzo's appearance, the Root ninjas became wary.

Tap...tap...tap...

The faint footsteps approaching from afar instantly drew Danzo and the others' attention to the thick darkness of the night directly ahead.

The Root ninjas immediately dropped the corpse, drew their swords, and surrounded Danzo.

As the owner of the footsteps gradually emerged from the darkness and his face was vaguely visible in the moonlight, Danzo's expression instantly turned ugly.

He gritted his teeth and called out the name of the person approaching: "Uchiha Ikezumi!!!"

……

"Daddy, why is it so noisy outside..." Wearing cute pajamas and holding a plush toy in one hand, Ino walked out of the bedroom barefoot while rubbing her eyes.

Yamanaka Inoichi was initially startled when Danzo outside the door suddenly shouted "Uchiha Ikezumi" in a neurotic manner.

When he saw his daughter wake up and come out.

He immediately realized what was happening outside.

"Ino, hurry back to your bedroom! No, hide right in the secret underground chamber of the family compound!" Yamanaka Ino said sternly, "No matter what noise you hear, don't come out!"

"...Huh?" Ino hadn't yet realized what was going on.

He was then scolded by Yamanaka Inoichi: "Go now!"

Ino was startled.

Her father's stern rebuke brought tears to her eyes, but she dared not ask any more questions and could only hurry to the underground secret room.

"call……"

Watching his daughter's retreating figure, Yamanaka Inoichi breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time looked anxiously outside the camp.

"...What an eventful night!" If he wasn't mistaken, Uchiha Ikezumi probably guessed that Danzo would bring Root ninjas to the Yamanaka clan's camp to take the body away.

What Uchiha Izumi did was to stand guard outside the Yamanaka clan's compound and quietly wait for Danzo to come to them!

—He was hunting down Shimura Danzo!!!

Yamanaka Inoichi knew that Danzo had once had a physical conflict with Uchiha Ikezumi.

That time, it was the Hokage who intervened to stop the conflict between the two sides.

"Perhaps... in the eyes of Uchiha Izumi's belief in 'absolute justice,' everyone in Root must be purged? This is bad, I have to go and inform the Hokage right away."

Yamanaka Inoichi had a terrible headache.

……

Danzo's face was ashen, and he felt a dull ache in his left ear, a wound that had long since healed.

He remembered it very clearly...

It was Uchiha Izumi who exposed his secret to the monkey, which caused him to lose several three-tomoe Sharingan eyes and he had to give some of the Sharingan information to the monkey.

"You inherently evil Uchiha brat! After what happened last time, you actually dare to appear before me alone? You've become arrogant just because you have the power of Lava Release. The arrogance of your Uchiha clan is truly displeasing to me!"

Danzo's sinister eyes flashed with murderous intent, and as he spoke, the Root ninjas around him were also itching to make their move.

Uchiha Ikezumi's gaze collided with Danzo's gaze in mid-air.

"I've been waiting for you for over two hours, Lord Danzo."

Uchiha Ikezumi's indifferent tone made Danzo laugh in anger.

Danzo asked grimly, "Are you deliberately setting a trap for me?"

Lava dripped from Uchiha Izumi's fingertips, and the orange-red glow emanating from the lava faintly illuminated half of his profile.

Uchiha Ikezumi replied quietly, "How else can we drag you, this filthy rat, out of the gutter of Konoha?"

Crack—Several cracks appeared in the ground beneath Danzo's feet.

Even though he knew that Hiruzen Sarutobi had warned him not to have any further armed conflict with Izumi Uchiha.

But Danzo knew even better that if he didn't kill Uchiha Izumi, an Uchiha with an extremely evil personality...

Konoha will never have a peaceful future!
Danzo couldn't sleep at all!
"kill him!!!"

He said coldly.
