Konoha: The Absolute Justice of the Uchiha

Chapter 90 Uchiha Izumi has already threatened the village (Part 2, please subscribe)
"What?!!"

Koharu Utatane couldn't help but gasp in surprise; the news she had received from Hiruzen Sarutobi had left her utterly shocked.

She stood there, stunned, her mind reeling, and it took her a full five seconds to finally grasp the information in those words.

Koharu Utatane suddenly stood up and questioned him in an incredulous tone: "Hiruzen! You just stood by and watched the Daimyo's second son die at the hands of someone like Uchiha Ikezumi?"

"Do you know what the death of the Daimyo's second son means for Konoha? Do you know how much trouble this will cause?"

Before Hiruzen Sarutobi could speak, Koharu Utatane couldn't help but pace back and forth.

Her wrinkles trembled slightly as she murmured in shock, "I knew it... nothing good would happen if that envoy ran into Uchiha Ikezumi. I never expected... they actually bumped into each other."

Koharu Utatane had already instructed her subordinates to inform the envoy team sent by the Daimyo to stay away from certain areas of Konoha Village as much as possible.

Because those areas are where Uchiha Izumi frequently appears.

Unexpectedly, Uchiha Ikezumi did not play by the rules.

That extreme Uchiha is acting very strangely today, not wandering around those areas!
Koharu even suspected that the other party might be deliberately trying to run into the envoy team sent by the daimyo.
Did they already know that the envoy team would be coming to Konoha?

"When I arrived, the young man had already been killed."

Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep breath. He glanced at Koharu Utatane, who was pacing back and forth impatiently.

They walked behind the Hokage's desk.

He sat down with a rather complicated expression.

Koharu Utatane also stopped, her old face grim. "What about Uchiha Ikezumi? Have they arrested him?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at her.

She looked back at me too.

The two sides had already conveyed an answer without saying a word.

"Hiruzen, what are you thinking?!" Koharu Utatane suddenly felt that she understood Danzo a little at this moment. Her blood pressure rose and her face turned an unusual red with anger.

She said urgently, "You have indulged Uchiha Ikezumi countless times! What are you enduring? Have you forgotten that Sarutobi Shinnosuke... your eldest son, also died at the hands of Uchiha Ikezumi? Have you forgotten who killed Danzo? Have you forgotten how many times Uchiha Ikezumi disobeyed your orders in public?"

"Now that he's caused such a huge mess, you're still going to tolerate him? Just because his existence can deter some unscrupulous people in the village? Just because of that, he was able to kill Your Majesty's second son and you turned a blind eye?"

"Hiruzen... I don't understand!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi fell silent, a silence that only fueled Koharu Utatane's growing discontent.

This made her so angry that her breathing became rapid.

Mitokado Homura, who had been silent until now, interjected, "Hiruzen is worried about the consequences of a military conflict with Uchiha Ikezumi."

Xiaochun frowned as she turned to her new room.

Hiruzen Sarutobi gripped the armrest of the chair, his gaze lowered. The armrest was cracked from his grip, and his face was filled with a sinister expression and barely suppressed anger.

He took several deep breaths before he calmed down.

Hiruzen Sarutobi finally spoke, "For the sake of Konoha's stability... I must endure this. If Izumi goes berserk, the threat he poses to Konoha will be no less than the Nine-Tails' rampage back then."

He looked at Koharu Utatane and asked, "Do you want the tragedy of years ago to repeat itself in Konoha?"

"and……"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's helplessness was palpable: "After what happened last night, Ikezumi has probably become a new object of admiration for many of the younger, more radical members of the Uchiha clan. To touch Ikezumi is tantamount to touching the entire Uchiha clan."

"Although Fugaku and Itachi are on our side, this father and son alone are not enough to suppress the Uchiha."

Xiaochun, who was turning over in her room, hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

In the end, they also fell silent.

Mitokado Homura sighed and said, "Instead of arguing here, let's think about how Konoha should deal with the enraged Daimyo..."

"The mess that Uchiha Ikezumi made is enormous. Even if we don't want to help him fix it, we have to find a way to fix it as soon as possible."

……

"I'm so tired..."

Naruto, who was short and rather thin, plopped down on the steps in front of a house, panting heavily.

He cautiously looked around and found that apart from a few villagers staring at him with strange looks, there were no suspicious people in his field of vision.

"call!"

"Let's take a break for a bit..."

Clearly, the "suspicious person" in Naruto's mind was Uchiha Ikezumi!

Available in the next second.

He suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye. When he hurriedly looked over, he was so frightened that his breath almost stopped and his heart skipped a beat.

"hiss!"

When he noticed the other person's gaze and seemed to sense it as they looked over, Naruto was so startled that he immediately jumped to his feet.

He grabbed the broom next to him.

They hurriedly swept left and right.

"Add ten days." When a voice echoed from the side, Naruto was instantly startled, his hair standing on end. He turned around in a panic, only to find Uchiha Izumi, who had been a hundred meters ahead just a second ago, now standing right beside him!
Naruto almost burst into tears.

How can he possibly live like this?

What Naruto didn't know was that the person who wanted to cry even more than him was the ANBU ninja hiding in the shadows, responsible for monitoring him.

Why is Uchiha Izumi here again?!

The ANBU ninjas wanted to step in and cut off contact between Uchiha Izumi and Uzumaki Naruto. After all, the Hokage had said to keep Uzumaki Naruto away from the Uchiha clan ninjas as much as possible.

however……

The ANBU ninja felt that if he intervened, Uchiha Izumi probably wouldn't give him any face. But if he tried to fight her head-on, he seemed completely outmatched.

He was silent.

It shouldn't be a problem to occasionally mix in some of your own opinions when giving orders to the Hokage, right?

The ANBU ninjas chose to remain inactive for the time being.

after all……

Uchiha Izumi doesn't seem to want to control the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. Doesn't this guy claim to believe in "absolute justice"?
Since he is an absolute champion of justice, he certainly wouldn't do something like recreating the Nine-Tails' rampage from back then, right?

the other side.

Naruto's attention was drawn to a few drops of blood on the hem of Uchiha Ikezumi's clothes, and a hint of confusion appeared on his face.

"Senior, wait for me..."

Until he heard a pleasant sound coming from afar.

Naruto looked out of curiosity and discovered that it was the beautiful older sister with long, straight black hair who had been following behind this scary man. He also noticed that there was a very fat orange cat perched on the girl's shoulder.

"Meow~ Lord Chiquan killed more than a dozen villains today. I suppose this will deter many wicked people during this period."

—The orange cat spoke!

Naruto roared inwardly.

Eh?
and many more……

Naruto's pupils contracted, his sorrowful expression froze, and his stiff gaze shifted again to the blood-stained hem of Uchiha Ikezumi's clothes.

Jiro Tachibana's words, "Killed more than a dozen villains," kept echoing in Naruto's little head.

His face turned pale instantly.

"Please don't kill me!!!" "I know I was wrong!!!"

As a blond brat prostrated himself before Lord Ikezumi in a humiliating dogeza (a traditional Japanese sit-up position) and cried out in despair, Tachibana Jiro muttered in confusion, "...What's wrong with this brat?"

Izumi stroked her smooth chin and muttered, "It looks like there's been a misunderstanding. But..."

Looking at Naruto's thin and weak appearance.

Quan hesitated and said, "Senior, this child doesn't look very healthy. Is it okay to make him do such high-intensity labor for reformation?"

Izumi always felt that Naruto, with his thin arms and legs, might suddenly faint while sweeping the streets.

Uchiha Ikezumi said expressionlessly, "He is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, this kind of strength is a piece of cake for him."

Izumi suddenly realized: "So that's how it is... eh? The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?"

She froze for a moment.

Jiro Tachibana explained from his shoulder, “Lord Ikezumi once said that the tailed beast that caused the Nine-Tails' chaos is sealed inside this brat. That tailed beast is called ‘Nine-Tails.’ Naruto Uzumaki, who is the vessel of the Nine-Tails, is called the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.”

spring:"!!!"

The girl stared at Naruto with an incredulous look.

Nine-tailed Fox...

Nine-tailed fox!

Her Sharingan awakened on the night of the Nine-Tails' death, and her father also died at the hands of the Nine-Tails' death.

"Chi, Senior Chi Quan... does he count as..."

The girl's voice trembled uncontrollably.

Uchiha Ikezumi said calmly, "He was just a vessel, and he was forced to become one. He was born as a Jinchūriki and had no choice at the time."

Tachibana Jiro also said, "Nya, Ikezumi-sama said that the instigator of the Nine-Tails' rampage was Uchiha Obito. He used his Mangekyou Sharingan to control the Nine-Tails and manipulated the Nine-Tails' rampage."

"That is to say..."

Tachibana Jiro paused, knowing Izumi's past, and continued, "The one who killed your father wasn't this brat. When your father died at the hands of the fox spirit, he was just an ordinary baby."

Quan tried hard to calm her thoughts; she remembered the name firmly.

—Obito Uchiha!

The group didn't lower their voices; they spoke openly and honestly in front of Naruto.

Naruto, who was kneeling in a dogeza posture begging Uchiha Izumi to spare him, was completely dumbfounded.

Am I the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?

Am I a vessel for the fox spirit?

Inside one's own body...

Is there really a fox spirit?
This terrifying man couldn't possibly be talking nonsense, right? At this moment, he seemed to understand why some people secretly cursed him as a demon fox or the embodiment of disaster.

"right……"

"Sorry……"

Naruto's voice was barely audible, tears streaming down his face. His thin body trembled, and even his voice was choked with sobs, filled with confusion and helplessness.

……

There is no wall that cannot be sealed.

The incoherent shouts and cries of Goen-in Kyusuke and the others before their deaths revealed their identities to many who witnessed the event.

The news of the "Daimyo's envoy being killed" spread like wildfire throughout Konoha in a very short time.

Many people thought that after last night's events, the somewhat chaotic situation in Konoha would finally calm down. But unexpectedly, less than a dozen hours later, another major event occurred!

and……

The culprit was none other than Uchiha Ikezumi!

……

Konoha, Anbu base.

"Nanwu..."

Sarutobi Asuma, a cigarette dangling from his lips, stared silently at the corpse of Nango, another member of the "Twelve Guardian Ninjas." The body, decapitated and covered in blood, was particularly gruesome.

Asma took a deep breath and exhaled a cloud of smoke, his mind filled with only one emotion: "indignation."

The composition of the Twelve Guardian Ninjas was quite complex. These twelve elite ninjas were not all loyal to the Daimyo of the Land of Fire. Rather, they were somewhat similar to the Uchiha clan, divided into a moderate faction led by Asuma and a radical faction led by Kazuma.

The moderates advocate maintaining the status quo balance between the Fire Country Daimyo and the Konoha Hokage, while the radicals argue that the Konoha Hokage is unnecessary and that ninjas should be in the hands of the Daimyo.

Nanwu is a member of the moderate faction and a good friend of Asma.

But now, it has become a corpse.

"call--"

Asuma reached out and closed Nanwu's wide-open eyes, his bearded face filled with gloom.

"Twice now, old man... are you going to keep enduring this? As the Hokage of Konoha, when did you become so weak? Uchiha Izumi, a ninja from the Uchiha clan, is she really that important?"

He was talking to himself.

Asuma never forgot that his brother died at the hands of Uchiha Ikezumi.

Every time I saw my brother's widow, her brows were filled with sorrow.

Asma could not suppress the hatred welling up in his heart.

Asuma's gaze then swept around. There were more than a dozen corpses lying there, each one decapitated. The corpse of the daimyo's second son, "Kyusuke Miyanokouji," was particularly conspicuous, deepening the gloom on Asuma's face.

The death of the daimyo's second son will surely enrage the daimyo of the Land of Fire, because Goenin Kyusuke was the daimyo's most beloved child.

By the time.

The relationship between the Daimyo and Konoha may become strained.

The radical faction among the Twelve Guardian Ninja is probably waiting for this opportunity. Once they learn of this incident, they will undoubtedly incite the Daimyo of the Land of Fire to target Konoha.

They even wanted to take this opportunity to ensure that Konoha would never have a Hokage again.

"Old man, you're the Hokage, can't you see that?"

Asuma had already bitten off the cigarette butt, and he muttered to himself, "Uchiha Izumi's existence is more of a disadvantage than a benefit to Konoha. I think you should understand this better than I do. But the question is, why have you been indulging him all this time?"

"He killed my brother..."

"Nanwu was killed by him..."

"Even the son of a great lord... could not escape his clutches."

Asuma believed that the Land of Fire's prosperity was due to the delicate balance maintained between the Daimyo and Konoha. However, Uchiha Izumi's actions were bound to disrupt that balance!
Once the balance is broken.

Land of Fire...

Konoha...

There will be no more peace!
He lit another cigarette: "Old man, allow me to object to you one more time... Uchiha Ikezumi has already become a threat to the village. However, perhaps you've gotten used to my rebelliousness."
