Naruto: Uchiha's Absolute Justice

Chapter 35: Senior Ikeizumi Is Clearly Executing Justice!

At present, perhaps even the ANBU haven't accurately tallied how many casualties there were at the secret research base last night.

But Uchiha Ikeizumi knew.

A total of sixty-three people died!

The numbers of ANBU ninja and research personnel were almost fifty-fifty.

Under the scouring of the lava torrent, more than half of the secret research base was "cleansed" by the scorching lava; he left no "red names" — except for the ANBU ninja who arrived later.

The research personnel in the secret research base gave Uchiha Ikeizumi "rewards" that 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 furrow his brow upon seeing them.

This made him feel like his mind had been dirtied.

However, the "rewards" dropped by the red-named ANBU ninja were much more normal: mostly ninjutsu or taijutsu experience books.

"And, Shinnosuke-sensei's 'legacy'."

"S-rank sealing jutsu… Three-Way Seal."

Uchiha Ikeizumi's face held no hint of a smile. 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 that the ninja world was becoming increasingly diseased.

Uchiha Ikeizumi removed his attire.

He walked into the bathroom.

He turned the faucet.

Allowing scalding hot water, hot enough to burn an ordinary person's skin, to freely pour over him.

Uchiha Ikeizumi kept his crimson Three-Tomoe Sharingan open.

Even when scalding hot water dripped into his eyes.

It caused no harm.

"Shinnosuke-sensei, when justice is confined to the stance 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 deep in darkness without knowing it."

He murmured.

....

The Next Morning.

Konoha.

Izumi was once again awakened by a nightmare. This time, she dreamt that the Hokage, with a single command, led thousands of ANBU ninja to apprehend her and Senior Ikeizumi.

What awaited her and Senior Ikeizumi was the village's most severe torture!

Even her mother, Hazuki Uchiha, who she relied on, was implicated and became one of the village's prisoners.

Then…

Izumi woke up in fright.

The first thing she did upon waking was quickly get up. She cautiously pulled back the curtains and looked out the window, finding no ANBU ninja keeping watch. 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, ate breakfast, and after bidding farewell to her mother, Hazuki Uchiha, the moment she stepped out, she suddenly remembered something.

"Hiss!"

"Senior Ikeizumi didn't say where we'd meet last night!"

Should she go to Ichiraku Ramen, where Senior Ikeizumi mentioned a few days ago?

What if he wasn't there?

Hmm…

"I'll go to Senior's house instead," Izumi decided to ask some of the uncles and aunts in the Uchiha compound.

After all, the Uchiha compound wasn't that big; she could surely find out where Senior lived!

However.

Izumi suddenly noticed that the atmosphere in the Uchiha compound was off.

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 or false? Many people are spreading this morning, and I heard the one who killed the Third Hokage's eldest son was Uchiha Ikeizumi!"

"Who knows! I just heard about it too."

"Uchiha Ikeizumi… This guy, first he killed a Root ninja, 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, once extended an olive branch to him, but he refused it."

"Speaking of which, since Uchiha Ikeizumi killed the Hokage's eldest son, will the village use this opportunity to move against us Uchiha?"

"Tch, that annoying guy really knows how to stir up trouble…"

"…"

Izumi listened, sweating profusely.

Oh no!

How did this matter from last night get out so inexplicably?

It had only been one night and half a morning, hadn't it?

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

Izumi walked along, stopping and going, finally finding out where Uchiha Ikeizumi lived.

"This is Senior Ikeizumi's house?"

She looked up at the unassuming two-story house before her, puzzled.

It felt a bit too plain.

"You're quite early today, rookie." A sudden voice almost made Izumi jump.

She turned around.

And saw Senior Ikeizumi had, at some point, appeared behind her!

Izumi quickly replied, "I'm already at zero points in Senior Ikeizumi's mind. If I were late again, I'd probably be in negative points. So… so I wanted to leave early."

Uchiha Ikeizumi nodded: "Let's go."

"Yes, Senior!"

Izumi cautiously followed behind Uchiha Ikeizumi. She was somewhat worried that Senior Ikeizumi might overhear some of the less friendly discussions among their clansmen, and her fears soon materialized.

She and Senior passed by a few Uchiha ninja, and those Uchiha ninja seemed so engrossed in their discussion that they didn't notice the two of them.

The topic of their discussion was, of course, the rumors from last night.

Izumi's brows suddenly furrowed as they passed by.

After casting a worried glance at Senior's back, she suddenly gritted her teeth, turned around, and said, "What are you talking about?! Senior Ikeizumi didn't kill the Hokage's eldest son for no reason! He's not some lunatic killer! He was executing justice!"

Oh… oh no…

Izumi almost stopped breathing. She had never thought she would so impulsively and without thinking suddenly want to argue with others.

When she realized those Uchiha ninja, who had been discussing heatedly, were now looking at her in bewilderment.

Izumi was drenched in cold sweat.

But…

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

At this point, Izumi had gone all out. She said, "The Hokage… the Hokage's eldest son, he was in charge of a secret research base! And he conducted many illicit experiments!"

"He even killed Konoha villagers who volunteered to be test subjects! He also abducted many war orphans to be test subjects! His hands are stained with blood; his soul has long been corroded by sin!"

"Good is good, bad is bad! He was bad! Even if he was the Hokage's eldest son, it… it doesn't change that fact! Even the Hokage's eldest son himself admitted it!"

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

"Don't you think this is a tragedy? Instead, you're still saying Senior Ikeizumi kills indiscriminately?"

"What are you doing?!"

Done…

I'm doomed!

Izumi realized she had impulsively and without permission passionately defended Senior.

Unintentionally revealing some things that seemed to be secrets.

Hiss.

It seems she also ruined the Hokage's eldest son's reputation.

The words she just said, would they instantly…

Spread throughout all of Konoha?
