Konoha: Uchiha’s Absolute Justice Chapter 036

Currently, it’s likely that even the Anbu haven’t fully tallied the exact number of casualties at the secret research base last night.

However, Uchiha Ikeizumi knew.

A total of sixty-three people died!

The number of Anbu ninja and researchers was almost fifty-fifty.

Under the torrent of lava, more than half of the secret research base was “cleansed” by the scorching magma. He didn’t leave a single red-named person—except for the Anbu ninja who arrived later.

The “rewards” Uchiha Ikeizumi received from the researchers in the secret research base were all “research knowledge,” mostly related to the Sharingan and Wood Release cells.

In addition, there were many human experimentation research results that made Uchiha Ikeizumi frown in disgust.

This made him feel like his mind had been dirtied.

However, the “rewards” dropped by the red-named Anbu ninja were much more normal, consisting of Ninjutsu or Taijutsu experience books.

“Also, Shin-no-suke-sensei’s ‘legacy’.”

“S-rank Sealing Jutsu… Three-Way Seal.”

There wasn’t a trace of a smile on Uchiha Ikeizumi’s face. No matter how many times he received rewards from red-named individuals, he never felt surprised or joyful.

The more red-named individuals there were in the ninja world, the stronger he could become by executing justice, but it also meant the ninja world was becoming more and more terminally ill.

Uchiha Ikeizumi took off his attire.

He walked into the bathroom.

He twisted the knob.

He let the scalding hot water, hot enough to burn an ordinary person’s skin, pour over him freely.

Uchiha Ikeizumi kept his crimson Three-Tomoe Sharingan open.

Even if the scalding hot water dripped into his eyes.

It caused no harm.

“Shin-no-suke-sensei, when justice is confined to the立场 of Konoha Village, it ceases to be justice. Only by purging the entire ninja world with [Absolute Justice] will there be fewer and fewer people like you who are trapped in the abyss without realizing it.”

He mumbled.

…

The next day.

Morning.

Izumi was once again startled awake by a nightmare. This time, she dreamt that the Hokage-sama gave an order, bringing thousands of Anbu ninja to apprehend her and Ikeizumi-senpai.

What awaited her and Ikeizumi-senpai was the most severe torture in the entire village!

Even her mother, with whom she depended on, was implicated and became one of the village’s prisoners.

Then…

Izumi was scared awake.

The first thing she did upon waking was quickly get up. She pulled open the curtains and cautiously looked out the window, finding no Anbu ninja tailing her. Only then did she let out a sigh of relief.

“It was a dream!”

Izumi was still shaken.

She patted her cheeks, quickly washed up, changed clothes, ate breakfast, and after bidding farewell to her mother, Uchiha Hazuki, the moment she stepped out the door, she suddenly remembered something.

“Hiss!”

“Ikeizumi-senpai didn’t say where we were supposed to meet last night!”

Should she go to the Ichiraku Ramen shop that Senpai mentioned a few days ago?

What if Senpai wasn’t there?

Hmm…

“I’ll go to Senpai’s house instead.” Izumi decided to ask some of the uncles and aunties within the Uchiha compound.

The Uchiha compound was only so big, she was bound to find out where Senpai lived!

However.

Izumi suddenly noticed that the atmosphere in the Uchiha compound was not right.

Early in the morning, many people were gathered in small groups.

These people seemed to be discussing something heatedly.

Izumi curiously edged closer to listen.

“I heard the Third Hokage’s eldest son died… Do you know if this news is true? Many people are spreading this morning, and I heard the person who killed the Third Hokage’s eldest son is Uchiha Ikeizumi!”

“Who knows! I just heard about it too.”

“Uchiha Ikeizumi… This guy, he killed Root ninja before, and now he’s killed the Hokage’s eldest son. I think this guy also supports our Uchiha’s resistance against the higher-ups, right?”

“But I heard that several radical elders, led by Elder Setsuna, extended an olive branch to him, but he refused.”

“By the way, Uchiha Ikeizumi killed the Hokage’s eldest son, will the village use this opportunity to make a move against us Uchiha?”

“Tch, that annoying guy sure knows how to stir up trouble…”

“…”

Izumi listened, sweating profusely.

Oh no!

How did this matter from last night get spread so mysteriously?

It’s only been one night and half a morning, right?

Izumi instinctively felt that something was wrong, as if someone had deliberately leaked this to the villagers, but she had no evidence.

Izumi walked and stopped along the way, finally asking where Uchiha Ikeizumi lived.

“This, is Ikeizumi-senpai’s house?”

She looked up in confusion at the ordinary two-story house in front of her.

It felt a bit too simple.

“You’re quite early today, rookie.” A sudden voice almost made Izumi jump.

She turned around.

And saw Ikeizumi-senpai standing behind her at some point!

Izumi quickly replied, “I’m already at zero points in Ikeizumi-senpai’s eyes, if I’m late again, I’ll probably be in negative points. So… so I wanted to leave early.”

Uchiha Ikeizumi nodded. “Let’s go.”

“Yes, Senpai!”

Izumi carefully followed behind Uchiha Ikeizumi. She was a little worried that Ikeizumi-senpai might hear some of the less friendly discussions from their clan members, and her worries soon came true.

She and Senpai passed by a few Uchiha clan ninja, and those Uchiha ninja seemed to be so engrossed in their discussion that they didn’t notice the two of them.

The content of their discussion was nothing more than the rumors from last night.

Izumi’s brows furrowed as she passed by.

After a worried glance at Senpai’s back, she suddenly bit her lip, turned around, and said, “What are you talking about! Ikeizumi-senpai didn’t kill the Hokage’s eldest son for no reason! He’s not some murderer! He was executing justice!”

Oh… oh no…

Izumi almost stopped breathing. She had never imagined that she would suddenly argue with others without thinking.

When she realized that those Uchiha ninja, who were discussing heatedly, were looking at her in confusion.

Izumi broke out in a cold sweat.

But…

Those Uchiha ninja were even more nervous than her, their faces stiffening, because they finally noticed that Uchiha Ikeizumi was right in front of them!

At this moment, Izumi had already thrown caution to the wind. She said, “The Hokage… the Hokage-sama’s eldest son, he was in charge of a secret research base! And he conducted many unspeakable experiments!

“He even killed Konoha Village volunteers who willingly became experimental subjects! He also abducted many war orphans to be experimental subjects! His hands are stained with blood, and his soul has long been corroded by sin!”

“Good is good, bad is bad! He is bad! Even if he is the Hokage-sama’s eldest son, it… it cannot change this fact! Even the Hokage-sama’s eldest son himself admitted this!”

“Such a person has been at large in Konoha, and no one has ever dared to bring him to justice.”

“You don’t think this is a tragedy, but instead you’re saying Ikeizumi-senpai is killing people indiscriminately?”

“What are you doing!!!”

It’s…

It’s over!

Izumi realized that when she impulsively and excitedly defended Senpai.

She unintentionally revealed some seemingly secret things.

Hiss.

She seemed to have also ruined the Hokage-sama’s eldest son’s reputation.

What she just said, wouldn’t it…

Spread throughout Konoha in an instant?
