Konoha: The Absolute Justice of the Uchiha

Chapter 28: Using scalding magma to cleanse the evil of the ninja world.

The sound from behind made the three ANBU ninjas immediately sense something was wrong, and alarm bells rang in their minds.

Their pupils contracted as they tried to disperse immediately.

But the three of them suddenly found their perspective shifted.

As their vision blurred, the figure of an Uchiha girl came into view, but before they could see what she looked like, three heads had already rolled off her neck.

[Ding! You have successfully killed three "red-name" villains! Your chakra has received a slight boost! Congratulations! You have successfully obtained: ① 7 "Shuriken Throwing Technique" experience books; ② "Water Release: Flowing Blade Technique"; ③ 4 "Entertainment Shop Appraisal Technique" experience books!]

The crimson squares that had been floating above the heads of the three ANBU ninjas slowly dissipated.

But killing them was just the beginning. The commotion had already alerted the entire secret base.

But that’s fine.

This saves Uchiha Ikezumi the trouble of finding everyone.

……

When more ANBU ninjas arrived.

They found several corpses on the ground, and also saw an Uchiha ninja holding a bloodstained ninja sword, exuding killing intent.

Startled, they didn't know exactly what had happened, but they immediately sounded the alarm at the base.

"Woo-wu-wu-"

The piercing alarm even startled Shinnosuke Sarutobi.

"An enemy has invaded?!"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke frowned beneath his ANBU mask. Since the establishment of this secret experimental base, there had never been an incident of external invasion.

How come this mess happened when the old man entrusted me with the care of this secret base?

What puzzled Shinnosuke Sarutobi even more was, who on earth would dare to invade a secret base near Konoha Village?
If a base can be built near Konoha Village, it means that it has a secret connection with Konoha.

Did the intruders not know this?

Or……

The other side doesn't care about Konoha at all?!

"All combat personnel, assemble!" Sarutobi Shinnosuke's expression grew increasingly serious as he issued the order: "Immediately proceed to the location where the alarm has sounded within the base. Intruders..."

The old man was worried that if this secret base were exposed, it would likely bring him some reputational risk.

A flash of murderous intent appeared in Sarutobi Shinnosuke's eyes.

"Any intruder, whoever they may be, will be killed on sight!"

"Yes!!!"

Led by Sarutobi Shinnosuke, an entire ANBU squad was mobilized—this secret base was originally guarded by two ANBU squads.

One of the covert squads was tasked with keeping watch outside the base, patrolling inside, and transporting supplies; the other covert squad was responsible for eliminating any threats to the base.

Both of these secret service squads were commanded by Shinnosuke Sarutobi alone.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke felt that something might have happened to the first squad!

Moreover, the invaders' strength should not be underestimated!

Otherwise, the enemy would never have been able to sneak into the base so quietly.

"and many more!"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke stopped an Anbu member and ordered him, "You don't need to come along. Go back to Konoha immediately and tell the old man about this. If there's no news from the base back to the village within fifteen minutes, then something has happened here. It would be best to have the old man bring more men over."

"Yes!"

Just as Sarutobi Shinnosuke was about to continue towards the location where the alarm sounded, a sudden sense of crisis made his heart skip a beat.

He almost instinctively shouted, "Stop!"

At the same time, he suddenly noticed a faint orange-red light emanating from the metal-reinforced wall on his right, and could feel a scorching heat emanating from it.

--boom! ! ! !
The terrifyingly high temperature instantly melted a huge hole in the metal-reinforced wall, and the violent impact like a volcano caused molten iron to splash everywhere, with invisible heat waves rushing towards us.

The group of ANBU ninjas immediately bent their knees to steady themselves, their eyes filled with horror as they stared at the hole in the wall that had been melted open.

"That is……"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke's pupils contracted as he saw a "half" person lying next to the hole in the wall. The other half of that "half" person's body was nowhere to be seen.

Judging from their clothing, they were also ninjas from the Anbu.

The other person's mask had fallen off, revealing a frozen expression of inexplicable terror on half of their face, a sight that sent chills down one's spine.

tick-

tick-

A strange dripping sound reached my ears.

The smell of sulfur filled my nostrils.

Suddenly, the name of a Uchiha clan ninja whom Sarutobi Shinnosuke loathed popped into his mind—Uchiha Ikezumi!

The thought had barely formed when a figure with lava flowing slowly across its body stepped out from the other side of the hole in the wall.

"—It's Uchiha Ikezumi!!!" A member of the Anbu ninja behind Sarutobi Shinnosuke exclaimed in shock, revealing the other's name.

"It's been a long time. Shinnosuke...sensei."

Lava was dripping from Uchiha Izumi's body, and the molten light emanating from the lava could not conceal the crimson color of his three-tomoe Sharingan.

He looked directly at Sarutobi Shinnosuke and said, "As one of the Third Hokage's right and left hands, you've been missing for the past two years. I thought you were dead. I never imagined that Shinnosuke-sensei was placed here by the Third Hokage."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke clenched his fist instantly.

His expression behind the mask darkened, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "When you killed two of your comrades, you were no longer my student, and I was no longer your Jonin instructor! Uchiha Ikezumi! What exactly do you want to do here?"

Looking at the half-corpse on the ground, Sarutobi Shinnosuke's mood worsened. He stared intently at Uchiha Ikezumi: "So you really can't suppress the demon in your heart after all, and you're preparing to go on a killing spree in Konoha, murdering these innocent people?!"

The other ANBU ninjas behind him were quite surprised.

It turns out that Shinnosuke and Uchiha Ikezumi had such a past; he was actually Ikezumi's Jonin instructor!

Uchiha Ikezumi calmly asked, "Too many evils of the ninja world have died by my hand. Which two are you referring to?"

Shinnosuke Sarutobi almost stopped breathing.

"You...have you completely forgotten your companions?"

"I will not deliberately keep a record of the villains who have died at my hands."

Shinnosuke Sarutobi's forehead veins trembled.

"Shimura Reiya! Uzuki Shuo! You must remember these two names! They... were my genin students back then, just like you!"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke couldn't help but recall the "fratricide" incident that had shaken him to his core.

After that incident, he no longer served as an instructor for any Konoha genin.

"Oh... I think I remember now."

Uchiha Ikezumi said, "Shimura Reiya bullied others at the Ninja Academy, causing the victims to commit suicide after their complaints went unanswered; Uzuki Shuo, Shimura Reiya's accomplice, continued to spread rumors about the victims in the village after their deaths."

"It is true that I killed them both. However, they attacked first, so the Fourth Hokage classified it as excessive self-defense, but did not hold me accountable."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke listened to Uchiha Ikezumi's emotionless tone, as if "comrades" were dispensable to him.

A surge of anger welled up within him: "They don't deserve to die!"

Uchiha Ikezumi said, "Then should the bullied die?"

With each step he took forward, a crater appeared in the ground.

"In my eyes, your two students have been corrupted into unforgivable villains by the 'evil' of the ninja world. I merely used scalding magma to cleanse the unforgivable 'evil' of the ninja world. That's all."

"Shin-no-suke-sensei".

Uchiha Ikezumi's crimson eyes fell on a bright red square that was floating above Sarutobi Shinnosuke's head.

"You now..."

"And they too fell into the abyss."
