Konoha: The Absolute Justice of the Uchiha

Chapter 69 Let's recount your evil deeds, Danzo Shimura
When Uchiha Ikezumi's voice rang out, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately felt a sense of foreboding.

In front of everyone in Konoha, he showed Danzo no respect and dismissed him from his post without any hesitation, just as Hiashi Hyuga had planned.

This was the most ruthless method Hiruzen Sarutobi could think of.

And it can also appease the Konoha clans with bloodline limits.

But unexpectedly, he couldn't appease Uchiha Ikezumi.

"You brat, what do you think you're doing?!" Danzo glared menacingly at Uchiha Ikezumi. He hadn't forgotten that over a dozen of his Root subordinates had all died at the hands of this evil Uchiha brat in just one day.

Even his own summoning beast, Baku, was not spared—this was the loss that pained Danzo the most.

This is his strongest summoned beast, and also his partner of many years.

Losing the Dream Eater is equivalent to losing a huge combat force!

Unexpectedly, Uchiha Ikezumi ignored him and said to Hiruzen Sarutobi with a blank expression, "Third Hokage, is this how you handle things, removing Shimura Danzo from his post?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi opened his mouth, but before he could say a word, Izumi Uchiha added, "They're really a bunch of snakes and rats, colluding with each other, and they're really good at protecting each other."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's face immediately darkened. He hadn't expected Uchiha Ikezumi to start cursing at him like that.

Fugaku also realized something was wrong: "Ikezumi..."

“You’re too weak, Fugaku. In your eyes, is everything Danzo did to the Uchiha clan and innocent civilians so easily forgiven?” Uchiha Ikezumi also glanced at Fugaku.

He couldn't even be bothered to utter the words "head of the family" or "patriarch".

"besides……"

Uchiha Izumi continued, "What right do you have to forgive Danzo? What right do you have to try to downplay this and make it disappear?"

A look of astonishment clearly appeared on Fugaku's usually stern face.

For some reason, Fugaku felt that some of his clansmen were looking at him in a strange way.

……

A look of helplessness crossed Kakashi's face as he mingled among the Konoha Anbu members.

He knew that matters concerning Uchiha Ikezumi would not be so easily resolved.

Especially as Uchiha Izumi's influence grew stronger.

There are very few people in the entire Hidden Leaf Village who can control him.

Maybe……

If the Hokage hadn't brought so many Anbu ninjas with him, he wouldn't have been able to control Uchiha Izumi.

"...Hmm?" Kakashi seemed to vaguely sense that someone was looking at him.

He turned his head and gazed into the distance.

Eyes narrowed.

I seemed to see a figure on the roof of a building in the distance, but in the blink of an eye, the figure disappeared.

"You're really perceptive, Kakashi..."

far away.

The masked man, clad in a black robe, was hidden in the shadows. He murmured with some hesitation and confusion, "Was it just my imagination...? I don't know why, but I felt like Uchiha Izumi glanced in my direction too."

However, he was only somewhat confused. He had to rely on Minato's protection to survive Uchiha Izumi.

But now he believes he is absolutely no less than Uchiha Ikezumi.

……

"Shimura Danzo." Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Uchiha Ikezumi met Danzo's angry and sinister gaze. He said expressionlessly, "The 'evil' within you is the most I have ever seen in Konoha. So much that it is countless and inexhaustible."

"Others' petty theft warrants arrest and imprisonment for half a month as a warning. But you, having killed so many innocent people and committed so many evil deeds, what right do you have to stand here unharmed and bark like this?" "Why do you, whose evil deeds are beyond description, still live in this world?"

Danzo's forehead veins bulged; he knew he couldn't remain silent.

Now that even that monkey has betrayed him, Danzo can only rely on himself.

Danzo gritted his teeth and said, "Brain! I only picked up a part of the Sharingan during the Fourth Shinobi World War! Dismissing me from my post... is already the most severe punishment! Or are you just using so-called 'absolute justice' as an excuse to actually be a high-sounding murderer?"

He preemptively pinned the blame on Uchiha Ikezumi.

Unexpectedly, Uchiha Izumi showed no reaction, simply asking, "Is that so? Then how do you explain Shisui's Sharingan?"

Danzo's pupils suddenly contracted, and his gaze toward Uchiha Ikezumi was filled with disbelief.

That evil Uchiha brat...

Can someone really see through themselves?
The Uchiha clan ninjas surrounding Danzo with unfriendly expressions were immediately shocked; Hiruzen Sarutobi also looked thoughtful; the Anbu ninjas stared at Danzo suspiciously; and the other ninja clans and civilian ninjas also looked at Danzo with astonishment.

Uchiha Shisui—a name etched in the memories of many, one that is hard to erase.

Unfortunately, fate was cruel; this genius of the Uchiha clan died young.

There have been many different theories about the cause of Uchiha Shisui's death.

But there is no definite answer.

Until now...

"Kid! Don't make false accusations!" Danzo was getting impatient. He possessed Shisui's 'Kotoamatsukami,' which was his greatest secret, bar none. Even when fighting Uchiha Izumi, he was reluctant to use this heaven-defying Sharingan ability.

Danzo gritted his teeth and said, "I did not kill Uchiha Shisui!"

Uchiha Ikezumi took two steps forward and stared into Danzo's eyes.

This gaze made Danzo feel somewhat uneasy.

He actually looked away, not daring to look directly at Uchiha Ikezumi!
This was something Danzo himself found utterly unbelievable.

How could I possibly be afraid of this brat!

Uchiha Ikezumi read the contents, which only he could see, in a detached tone: "One year ago, I plotted to frame Uchiha Shisui, severely injuring him and taking one of his eyes. This act indirectly led to Uchiha Shisui's suicide by jumping off a cliff."

Danzo nearly caught his breath, and cold sweat involuntarily seeped from his palms.

—I was really seen through!

This time...

Even Fugaku, who had been trying to downplay the incident, looked at Danzo with disbelief.

"Sakumo Hatake, how do you explain that?" Uchiha Ikezumi didn't dwell on "Shisui's death," and shifted the topic to a name that surprised everyone present.

This also gave Kakashi, who was mixed in with the ANBU members, a jolt.

Kakashi turned his head in a daze to look at Uchiha Ikezumi.

Sakumo Hatake... Kakashi hadn't heard that name mentioned by anyone in the village for many years.

"Years ago, you deliberately manipulated negative public opinion in the village and arranged for your subordinates to slander Hatake Sakumo, causing Hatake Sakumo to be unable to bear the pressure of negative public opinion and choose to commit suicide."

Danzo's fingers were trembling slightly.

His expression was as if he had seen a ghost.
