Naruto: Uchiha's Absolute Justice

Chapter 20: Uchiha Ikeizumi Seems a Bit Too Extreme

[Ding! You have successfully killed three "red-named" villains! Your chakra has received a slight boost! Congratulations, you have successfully dropped: ① Wind Nature Chakra; ② Shadow Mimic Jutsu; ③ Water Severing Wave Jutsu!]

[Name: Uchiha Ikeizumi]

[Age: Eighteen]

[Affiliation: Konoha Uchiha Police Force Member]

[Strength: Jōnin]

[Kekkei Genkai: Sharingan, Lava Release, See-Through Release]

[Taijutsu: Uchiha Style Kenjutsu, Shurikenjutsu, Kunai Combat Techniques…]

[Ninjutsu: Great Fireball Technique, Grand Fire Annihilation, Grand Lava Eruption, Lava Release Chakra Armor, Shadow Mimic Jutsu…]

[Other: Cooking, Calligraphy, Gambling, Bedroom Arts…]

[...]

The Wind Nature Chakra must have come from Danzo.

With Wind added, Uchiha Ikeizumi now possessed all five of the most basic chakra natures: Fire, Earth, Water, Wind, and Lightning.

Moreover, the Wind Nature Chakra acquired from Danzo, who specialized in "Wind Style," was clearly not simple.

It immediately became one of Uchiha Ikeizumi's most prominent chakra natures.

On par with his "Fire" and "Earth" chakra natures.

At the same time, it finally allowed some of the Wind Style ninjutsu Uchiha Ikeizumi had acquired while executing justice to be put to use.

The remaining Shadow Mimic Jutsu and Water Severing Wave Jutsu…

Were merely bonuses.

Danzo was definitely a "treasure boy," and coupled with his deep purple sin, Uchiha Ikeizumi was restless again, the killing intent towards "evil" within him impossible to suppress.

However.

When the Police Force headquarters appeared before Uchiha Ikeizumi, he could only reluctantly restrain his killing intent for the time being.

As long as Danzo remained in the ninja world.

Justice would not be absent.

....

"Lord Fugaku. The Gekko clan's matricide case has been resolved. Gekko Hayate, the sole direct descendant of the Gekko clan, has accepted the Police Force's handling of the case."

In the office, a Police Force member was reporting on the work situation to Uchiha Fugaku.

"Furthermore, Gekko Hayate stated that the Gekko clan will not question the legitimacy of Uchiha Ikeizumi's enforcement actions. However, his request is that the Police Force does not release the case details."

"He seems to want to preserve some dignity for his younger brother."

Upon hearing this, Fugaku let out a heavy breath.

"A murder case involving family bonds truly weighs on the mind." Just as Fugaku was about to say something else, there was a light knock on the office door.

"Please…"

Before Fugaku could finish saying "come in," the door was pushed open. The moment the door opened, he didn't even need to see the person to know who it was.

After all, even some of the hawkish Uchiha within the clan would at least put on a show of respect for him, the clan head.

In the entire Uchiha clan, the only one who dared to show him such blatant disrespect was probably Uchiha Ikeizumi.

Yet Ikeizumi didn't even bother with a pretense.

As expected.

When Fugaku looked up, he saw Uchiha Ikeizumi enter the office with his young apprentice, Izumi, following him.

"Ikeizumi, you…"

"…Hmm!?"

Fugaku's attention was suddenly drawn to a blond child Uchiha Ikeizumi was holding by the collar, and he had a vague feeling that this blond child looked somewhat familiar.

He focused his gaze.

Astonishment flashed in Fugaku's steady eyes.

He recognized him!

Uchiha Ikeizumi casually dropped Naruto, who landed on his backside with an "ouch" of pain.

But fearing that his cry of pain would disturb Uchiha Ikeizumi, he hurriedly covered his mouth, trembling and daring not to make another sound.

"Ikeizumi, this child…" Fugaku felt his head was about to explode, his scalp tingling.

He never imagined that Uchiha Ikeizumi would bring the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki to the Uchiha Police Force headquarters!

Fugaku swallowed the words "Nine-Tails Jinchuriki" that almost escaped his lips, asking, "Why did you bring Naruto Uzumaki here?"

The usually composed Uchiha clan head's speaking speed had noticeably quickened.

Fugaku admitted he was caught off guard.

The village already suspected the Uchiha clan was involved in the Nine-Tails attack.

To dispel the village's doubts about the Uchiha, Fugaku had specifically ordered his clansmen to stay away from the Jinchuriki as much as possible.

He particularly cautioned his wife not to interact with Naruto Uzumaki.

After all, his wife was best friends with Naruto Uzumaki's birth mother.

He worried that Mikoto would be soft on Naruto Uzumaki.

But who would have thought…

Despite countless warnings, he missed one—Uchiha Ikeizumi!

Or rather.

Uchiha Ikeizumi simply didn't care about his warnings as clan head!

"He disrupted Konoha's order and affected others' normal business operations. In my eyes, he committed a crime. Even by Konoha's lenient laws, he could be charged with several offenses. Bringing him here is simply my duty."

Uchiha Ikeizumi said calmly.

Fugaku: "…"

You're taking your duty a bit too seriously!

"But Hokage-sama's side…"

Fugaku was cut off by Uchiha Ikeizumi, who, with practiced ease, interrupted him: "The Hokage knows, and Root knows. When I apprehended Naruto Uzumaki, Danzo came with Root ninja to obstruct law enforcement. I killed two and a half of them."

Fugaku: "???"

Uchiha Ikeizumi continued, "Unfortunately, the Hokage soon arrived with ANBU and abused his power to cover for Danzo Shimura. He also tried to cover for Naruto Uzumaki, but he temporarily gave up after realizing I might turn hostile."

Fugaku: "???"

Fugaku swore that the amount of information he had processed all day was less than the information contained in just these few sentences from Uchiha Ikeizumi.

He never expected that Uchiha Ikeizumi, who had caused such a huge stir yesterday by killing three Gekko clan ninja.

Had caused another colossal mess today!!!

Apprehending the Jinchuriki, killing Root members, offending Danzo, confronting the Hokage, and even forcing the Hokage to back down.

And…

If he wasn't mistaken, Uchiha Ikeizumi had probably already prepared himself for a potential armed conflict with the higher-ups.

He truly dared to confront the highest authorities!!!

He was even more extreme than the hawkish ninja within the Uchiha clan!

At least those hawks only instigated and pressured him, the clan head, to plan a coup. But Uchiha Ikeizumi had directly acted.

Fugaku remained stunned for a long time.

His gaze at Naruto Uzumaki was no longer just looking at a hot potato, but a glowing red-hot iron ingot!

His gaze at Uchiha Ikeizumi was like looking at a madman.

In Fugaku's eyes at this moment…

Even the craziest Uchiha clan ninja wasn't as insane as Uchiha Ikeizumi.

So, the question remained:

Uchiha Ikeizumi dared to apprehend Naruto Uzumaki.

But did he, the clan head, dare to imprison this child in Konoha's jail?

Fugaku fell silent.

He didn't know how long he remained silent, nor what he had calculated in his mind, before finally attempting to speak: "Ikeizumi…"

"If you also abuse your power for personal gain, and cover for Naruto Uzumaki in the name of obstructing justice, then I can only directly take him to Konoha's jail and personally imprison him."

Uchiha Ikeizumi showed no surprise; he interrupted Fugaku again: "If you truly do that, then in my eyes, you are an enabler of 'evil,' and you are also my enemy."

Fugaku: "…"

Ikeizumi had already said everything.

What else could he say?
