Konoha: The Absolute Justice of the Uchiha

Chapter 11 Anyone who obstructs justice, even the Hokage, must be killed.
“Chengshui…Mother…” Gekko Hayate stared blankly at his younger brother, who was slumped in his arms and had already lost all signs of life.

His brother's death and the words his brother said before he died filled him with a daze, and he temporarily lost the ability to think.

He raised his head blankly and met the gaze of Uchiha Ikezumi, who had sheathed his sword.

Two lines of sorrowful tears had already slid down her cheeks without her noticing.

"Your mother's body should have been taken away by other members of the police force. Next, the police force will ask the ninjas of the Yamanaka clan to come and conduct a joint investigation."

Uchiha Ikezumi said expressionlessly, "If you want to see your mother, you can wait until the joint investigation is over, which will probably take a day or two."

Dear Mother...

He was murdered...

Uchiha Ikezumi's words turned Gekko Seisui's dying sarcasm into reality, and made Gekko Hayate even more grief-stricken, as if his heart was being pierced by invisible blades.

Two years ago, my father died at the hands of Uchiha Ikezumi.

Two years later, their mother died at the hands of her own younger brother. Now, their younger brother is also dead, killed by Uchiha Ikezumi.

Of all the direct descendants of the Moonlight Clan, only Moonlight Gale remains!
Moonlight Gale was already somewhat bewildered.

He didn't even know whether he should seek revenge against Uchiha Ikezumi.

This Uchiha, like a demon, murdered his father and his own brother...

But the other party is acting in the name of "justice".

You could even say that Uchiha Ikezumi avenged his mother!

and……

It is an unforgivable crime of murdering one's mother!

"Senior Izumi, he seems to be in a lot of pain. It looks like he's about to have a mental breakdown," Izumi whispered, the girl's face showing some worry. "Will he be alright?"

Uchiha Ikezumi turned and left, saying slowly, "Let him have some peace and quiet."

"Oh." Quan quickly followed.

……

Uchiha Ikezumi killed two Chunin from the Gekko clan, led his subordinates into the Gekko clan's territory, and killed the former clan head's second son, "Gekko Seisui"—this news quickly ignited Konoha.

Upon hearing the news, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was smoking a pipe,...

I was so shocked by the news that I choked and coughed.

Having finally calmed down, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately took a sip of water to suppress his turbulent thoughts, and then asked the ANBU ninja who had reported the news in a deep voice, "What is the specific reason?"

Just as the ANBU ninja was about to speak, there was a knock on the door.

Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly realized something.

He said, "Please come in!"

As expected... Uchiha Izumi, who had killed three ninjas, walked openly into the Hokage's office as if nothing had happened, followed by a cautious little follower.

"The reason is that the criminal 'Gekiko Seisui' resisted arrest." Uchiha Izumi said directly before even waiting for Hiruzen Sarutobi to ask any questions. "Anyone who dares to resist arrest is no ordinary criminal. We must strike hard and kill him on the spot to deter other villains."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression darkened slightly. Uchiha Ikezumi had seen him more than once without first calling him "Hokage-sama".

He has spoken to himself in this cold tone more than once.

It's as if, in this child's eyes, he, the Third Hokage, is also a criminal.

This made Hiruzen Sarutobi instinctively feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Fortunately, he remained calm, and his slightly somber expression faded. Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Izumi Uchiha and asked, "The culprit?"

“Uchiha Izumi,” Uchiha Ike Izumi said.

"Yes, Senpai!!!" Izumi took a deep breath. Having mentally prepared herself on the way, she took the initiative to report to the Hokage as his senior: "Hokage-sama, Senpai Ikezumi and I met this morning..."

The girl's narrative logic is very clear, and her language is very concise.

After she explained the whole story...

Hiruzen Sarutobi's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

“Moonlight Serenity…” Hiruzen Sarutobi exhaled a long breath. “This child, I used to hold him in my arms. But I never imagined he would be… so extremely jealous. Even because of this terrible jealousy, he…”

Hiruzen Sarutobi believed it.

Although he couldn't quite grasp some of Uchiha Ikezumi's ways of doing things, the only thing he was certain of was that Uchiha Ikezumi would never make a wrong judgment when it came to matters of "justice" and "evil".

This kid...

Like a natural judge, his accuracy in determining the truth of a case is 100%!
Back then, Hiruzen Sarutobi also suspected that Izumi Uchiha might be using "executing justice" as an excuse to kill people for pleasure.

After investigating dozens of times and finding nothing unusual,

Hiruzen Sarutobi only then realized that there were people with such talent.

The Uchiha clan truly produces a wealth of talented individuals!

but……

"Ikezumi!" Hiruzen Sarutobi slammed his fist on the table, his face serious. "A person who murdered his mother resisted arrest, and you killed him with violence. I can let that go. But why did you kill two innocent members of the Moonlight Clan?"

"Those two young men, one twenty-one and the other twenty-six. They just stood in your way, and you wanted to kill them? Is this justice, harming the innocent?!"

Izumi keenly sensed that something was off in the atmosphere of the Hokage's office.

Uchiha Ikezumi and Sarutobi Hiruzen exchanged glances and Ikezumi said, “I warned them in advance, but since they are determined to obstruct law enforcement, it is as if they have made their own choice.”

"Unfortunately, they chose to stand on the side of 'evil.' They obstructed justice and condoned evil, and thus were no longer innocent."

He paused, then continued, "Whether it's a ninja from the Moonlight Clan or you, Hokage, who stands in my way... I will eliminate all obstacles with absolute justice!"

"We will show no mercy!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi stared intently at Ikezumi Uchiha, finally sighing and asking, "Ikezumi, how long has this head-on, ideologically opposed dialogue between you and me been going on?"

Uchiha Ikezumi said, "Five years."

"Five years..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi stood up, put his hands behind his back, took a few steps, paused, and then asked, "Ikezumi, you should be able to sense that something is happening in the village that no one wants to see, right? Although there are no large-scale conflicts in the ninja world, the waters within Konoha have never been calm."

"As an Uchiha, you should be very perceptive in this regard. So, may I ask you this: in your eyes, is justice... on the side of the majority of the village, or on the side of a minority?"

"If one day, you were forced by circumstances to do something against justice, would you do it?"

Quan, who was standing to the side, could feel that the atmosphere in the office was so heavy that the air around them seemed to be freezing.

"Justice stands on the side of good people."

Uchiha Ikezumi gave a third answer, continuing, "My stance is justice, and I will never betray my stance, much less violate the justice in my heart."

Hiruzen Sarutobi pondered: "Kind people..."

He smiled slightly: "Chiquan, although your answer and Itachi's answer are somewhat different, it makes me increasingly feel that you and that child Itachi are indeed the same kind of people. You both love the village very much."

"Lord Hokage, it's wrong to swear," Uchiha Ikezumi frowned and corrected him.

Sarutobi Hiruzen: "???"
