Konoha: The Absolute Justice of the Uchiha

Chapter 42: Cultivating a Successor to [Absolute Justice]?

When a Sarutobi clan ninja went to greet Hiruzen Sarutobi, he noticed a figure in the distance dressed in the uniform of the Uchiha police force.

This made his pupils shrink, and he quickly asked Hiruzen Sarutobi, "Hokage-sama, that guy..."

"Don't bother."

Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head with a sullen face, but anyone could tell that something was off about his tone.

It seemed as if he was trying hard to hold back something.

Hiruzen Sarutobi silently walked to the side of Shinnosuke Sarutobi's coffin and stood quietly behind his daughter-in-law, Nadeshiko Sarutobi.

At this time.

He heard Sarutobi Nadeshiko's voice: "Hokage-sama, you don't need to worry about me. I've calmed down. Everything... everything must be for the sake of the village, isn't it?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi remained silent for a long time.

He felt a little guilty, but only a little. He said, "I have my reasons. Nadeshiko, you and I both know very well what the situation is like in Konoha now. The village desperately needs a fearsome ninja to deter the villains from other villages."

"Konoha has lost Sakumo, Orochimaru defected, Jiraiya left, Tsunade left, and Shisui is gone. Uchiha Izumi is now one of the few pillars of the village."

"and……"

"The presence of Uchiha Izumi can also deter some ambitious people in the village, including some members of the Uchiha clan."

Hiruzen Sarutobi paused, then continued, "Even if Shinnosuke came back to life, he would do the same thing as me. You and he are both my right and left hands. He understands me, and you should understand me too."

Sarutobi Nadeshiko nodded slightly: "Hokage-sama, I understand everything."

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed softly, "Thank you for your hard work for Konoha."

Immediately.

Hiruzen Sarutobi warned the Sarutobi clan members who were filled with righteous indignation and restless after seeing Izumi Uchiha appear.

"Don't make any sudden moves! He's just here to arrest criminals!"

……

Yamada Toshijiro also met Uchiha Ikezumi.

Even though he thought the chances of being exposed were slim, he couldn't help but instinctively take a few steps back.

He carefully hid himself behind the crowd.

"Hiss, I remember now!" Yamada Toshijiro heard his companion gasp in realization: "Uchiha Ikezumi, isn't that that bastard from the Uchiha Police Department... Oh no, is that guy... coming this way?"

Yamada Toshijiro was suddenly startled.

My palms instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

The last glimmer of hope in his heart was extinguished by Uchiha Ikezumi's cold voice: "Yamada Toshijiro, burdened with a large amount of debt. More than four years ago, after his elder brother 'Yamada Toshiichiro' passed away, he attempted to seize his brother's inheritance, but failed. In a fit of rage, he murdered his brother's wife and daughter, dismembered their bodies, and disposed of the remains."

The extremely cold and emotionless voice, when it reached Yamada Toshijiro's ears, was undoubtedly the death knell tolling for him before his demise.

He was even more shocked to see his companions, who quickly distanced themselves from him and looked at him with horrified eyes.

You can also see these companions, who, out of excessive fear of Uchiha Ikezumi, quickly make way for her.

He completely exposed the figure he had painstakingly hidden.

Yamada Toshijiro watched as Uchiha Ikezumi walked up to him and stood quietly two meters away.

He couldn't even look directly at this young man who was more than ten years younger than him.

The drizzling rain could not soothe the fear in my heart.

He wiped the rain off his face, lowered his head, and, his mouth dry, tried to remain calm, saying, "I...I don't understand what you're saying."

"Uchiha Izumi."

"Here!!!" Quan immediately stepped forward from behind.

"trial."

Quan was taken aback. She took a deep breath, quickly prepared herself mentally, and immediately said, "Yes, Senior!"

She knew what Senior Chi Quan meant by "interrogation".

Because when she first met her senior, she was asked by Ikezumi to interrogate a prisoner.

Moreover, the torture was carried out in broad daylight in front of a large crowd, using bloody methods against the prisoners!

This time...

It will probably be exactly the same as last time.

and.

Izumi realized that this time, not only in front of a large audience, but also under the watchful eyes of the Hokage, who was not far away! This was perhaps a new test that Izumi-senpai was giving himself.

She's under a lot of pressure.

However, compared to the pressure of disobeying Izumi-senpai's orders, Izumi felt that the pressure he was under now was nothing.

Then I thought of the mother and daughter who had been reduced to shattered bones.

The hesitation and doubt in Quan's eyes visibly disappeared.

She drew her ninja sword.

Take a few steps forward.

"Hey! What... what are you going to do?!" Yamada Toshijiro broke out in a cold sweat and retreated in panic, but he did not expect that the girl with slightly cold eyes in front of him would keep pressing closer.

"You have two paths to choose from now on." Quan felt that he had become bad, but when it came to scum like the one in front of him, no matter how extreme the methods were, they were probably justified.

She tried to mimic her senior's tone, saying, "First, since you refuse to cooperate, I'll kill you and let the mountain clan investigate your memories. Second, you'll confess everything you did four years ago." "I already said! I don't understand what you're saying... Aaaaaah!!!"

Suddenly, Toshijiro Yamada let out a shrill scream.

He hurriedly knelt down, clutching his groin. The indescribable pain made his face turn deathly pale.

"I'll only give you thirty seconds to think it over."

Quan gritted his teeth and kicked the other person to the ground again.

Her eyes narrowed, and she stabbed Yamada Toshijiro's left hand with a knife, pinning his hand to the ground.

"Aaaaaaahhhhhh!!" Yamada Toshijiro was still screaming in agony.

"Twenty-nine."

Recalling the shattered bones that sent chills down her spine, Quan twisted her wrist, and the blade instantly severed half of her hand.

"Twenty-eight."

"Twenty-seven."

With a swift movement of her sword, Izumi tossed an ear high into the air, the splattered blood quickly washed away by the rain.

"Twenty-six."

……

"Lord Hokage! This is clearly torture! And... they did this at Shinnosuke-senpai's funeral, right in front of you, Lord Hokage!"

A friend of Sarutobi Shinnosuke said to Sarutobi Hiruzen in horror, "Isn't this a case of forced confession? Maybe that guy was innocent to begin with, but under torture he had no choice but to admit his guilt."

"Such behavior is already..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi stood with his hands behind his back, gazing into the distance.

He interrupted, saying, "Uchiha Ikezumi often disappoints me greatly in many ways. However... in terms of law enforcement, no matter how extreme his methods are, the final result he gives me is something I can never refute."

“When Uchiha Ikezumi determines that someone is a murderer, that person… is absolutely a murderer. No matter when, he has never been wrong.”

Hiruzen Sarutobi stared at the girl's back.

He murmured to himself in a low voice, "Are you preparing to groom a successor for [Absolute Justice]? Chi Quan..."

Shinnosuke Sarutobi's friend never expected that the Hokage would speak up for the murderer who killed his son.

and.

In the words of the Naruto series, isn't Uchiha Izumi a bit too "deified"?
How can anyone never make a mistake?!

……

"Ahhh! I admit it! I admit it!!!"

The bones of ordinary people are ultimately much softer than those of ninjas, since they have never received any rigorous ninja training.

The pain radiating from all parts of his body, coupled with the oppressive feeling of facing the Uchiha clan's police force, had already driven him to a mental breakdown.

The psychological defenses that had been faltering due to the appearance of Uchiha Izumi completely collapsed at this moment.

He cried out in terror, tears streaming down his face, "Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"

"I... I did kill my brother's wife and daughter! Who told me that when I asked them for money, that damned woman told me right in front of me that she would never lend money to people addicted to gambling!"

"They were the ones who disregarded family ties first! No! That's not right, they were outsiders to begin with, they just wanted to take all of my brother's inheritance!"

Yamada Toshijiro went from having an emotional breakdown at the beginning to suddenly finding excuses for his behavior at the end.

In the meantime, not even ten seconds had passed.

He gritted his teeth and broke down, shouting in a fit of rage: "I was just cleaning up my brother's house!"

"I did nothing wrong! Why are you arresting me!"

"Why don't you arrest that woman who stole my brother's inheritance!"

"You're being completely unfair!!!"

"you……"

As Yamada Toshijiro looked up at Uchiha Ikezumi in a fit of emotion, he suddenly saw a pair of scarlet three-tomoe Sharingan eyes come into view.

His vision seemed to be completely occupied by those Sharingan eyes.

Yamada Toshijiro's expression gradually changed from anger to terror.

It seems they witnessed something that others could not see.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

Quan was stunned for a moment. She quickly realized that this was Senior Ike Quan who had directly injected Sharingan genjutsu into her!
Izumi had no idea what terrifying scenes Yamada Toshijiro had seen in the illusion, or what terrifying illusion he had experienced.

but……

She felt the other person had only themselves to blame!
“Rookie, this is the ‘evil’ of the ninja world. Even with the guillotine of justice at their throats, they will not repent. Mild laws cannot bring justice to the dead.”

Uchiha Ikezumi said quietly, "Then use your [Absolute Justice] to uphold justice for the dead."

"kill him."
