Naruto: Uchiha's Absolute Justice

Chapter 44: Justice Sees You and Wants to Vomit

"Huu… huu…" A disheveled figure hid in an alley corner of the Uchiha clan compound. He was desperately trying to calm his breathing, attempting to lower his presence.

A bead of sweat slowly traced down his face, his eyes, with faint crow's feet, narrowed slightly.

His crimson Three-Tomoe Sharingan keenly observed his surroundings.

"It's been three minutes already. Why hasn't that guy shown up to meet me yet…? Didn't we agree on this time?"

Uchiha Onigawara gritted his teeth, squeezing out a sentence only he could hear.

His tone was filled with dissatisfaction and anxiety.

Noticing a fleeting shadow not far away, he immediately shifted to an even deeper corner, perfectly positioned in several blind spots, allowing him to barely conceal his presence.

"Damn it, where are you?!"

To escape from the detention cell in the Police Force building, he had killed a Uchiha Police Force ninja. Those people from the Police Force must have already poured out in full force.

If that man didn't show up soon.

He would definitely be caught!

Uchiha Onigawara's mind flashed with fragmented memories—after his actions were exposed, leading to his suspension from ANBU for investigation.

A young man wearing a strange mask had approached him.

—"Heh heh… Uchiha Onigawara, you tortured and killed two comrades. Do you think those foolish Konoha ninja can still tolerate you? Your inevitable end is nothing more than twenty years, thirty years, or a lifetime in Konoha's prison?"

—"I won't hide it from you. It's precisely because your unique bloodline holds considerable value that that person hopes you will join us. That person promises you that your sadistic tendencies will be fully satisfied with us."

—"All you need to do is leave Konoha. Is there anything left in Konoha for you to be nostalgic about? As long as you dare to defect, I will meet you at the opportune moment."

—"Oh, right. I forgot to remind you, you definitely won't be unfamiliar with that person's identity."

Uchiha Onigawara initially didn't know who the person was.

He only knew that anyone who could silently bypass the surveillance on him and meet him must possess considerable skill.

It wasn't until he saw a small white snake slither out from the person's sleeve.

Uchiha Onigawara then knew who was extending an olive branch to him.

As a proud member of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Onigawara naturally didn't want to be a subordinate of a Konoha rogue ninja. Once that person's "spy" in Konoha escorted him out of the village, he would kill that "spy" ninja without hesitation and then distance himself from Konoha Village!

"Tch… my special bloodline…"

Uchiha Onigawara's eyes narrowed: "They're coveting that brat Ikeizumi's Lava Release kekkei genkai, but they don't dare lay a hand on that brat Ikeizumi, so they're settling for me instead, huh?"

He actually didn't know why his overly extreme nephew possessed two kekkei genkai.

Neither he, nor his deceased sister or brother-in-law, had awakened any Lava Release kekkei genkai.

Of course, this didn't stop Uchiha Onigawara from trying to use Orochimaru's spy to escape Konoha.

Only…

"Where is he?!" Just as Uchiha Onigawara was gritting his teeth in frustration, his Three-Tomoe Sharingan keenly caught a drop of blood-colored "rain" falling from above.

Drip—

A blood-red stain bloomed on the wet ground beneath him, and at the same time, Uchiha Onigawara's eyes narrowed.

Looking up hastily.

He saw a dark figure rapidly descending from above.

Uchiha Onigawara, quick-witted, swiftly caught the falling dark figure, preventing any noise that might attract the Police Force's encirclement.

"This is…"

But Uchiha Onigawara's pupils suddenly constricted, for he realized that what he had caught was a corpse that still had residual warmth!

Blood was gushing from the corpse's neck, and the mask on its face had slipped off, revealing a face still frozen in terror.

Cold sweat poured down Uchiha Onigawara's entire body.

He didn't recognize the face, but he recognized the fallen mask—this was the spy ninja Orochimaru had planted in Konoha, who had contacted him half a month ago and offered him an olive branch!

"I encountered him on my way to find you. The 'evil' he committed was like a light bulb in the darkness, impossible for me to ignore."

The sudden voice made an alarm bell ring loudly in Uchiha Onigawara's heart.

He no longer cared about concealing himself, swiftly using the Body Flicker Technique to a position he considered easy to advance and retreat from, then looked up.

Two pairs of Three-Tomoe Sharingan met in mid-air.

Uchiha Onigawara immediately recognized the other's identity.

"Ikeizumi?!" Uchiha Onigawara had a deep impression of his nephew. He had seen many extreme Uchiha; he himself was quite extreme.

But…

He felt he was still too naive in front of Uchiha Ikeizumi.

Even though he was a full twenty years older than him!

Uchiha Onigawara had already assumed a stance ready to form hand signs at any moment. The corpse of the "spy ninja" on the ground made his face turn dark and unsightly, and the murderous intent brewing in Uchiha Ikeizumi's eyes sent chills down his spine.

Uchiha Onigawara took a deep breath and asked cautiously, "Ikeizumi… are you here for me?"

"Yes."

Uchiha Ikeizumi's concise reply made Uchiha Onigawara's heart sink.

He couldn't help but grit his teeth: "You and I are blood relatives! Ikeizumi, why don't you leave Konoha with me! You know what your reputation is like in Konoha, don't you? No one in this village will acknowledge your ninja way, and the Uchiha clan won't either. There's no point in you staying in Konoha Village, is there?"

"Ikeizumi, you are a genius of our Uchiha clan with two kekkei genkai. Plus, I'm not bad either. If you and I team up, there's no place in the entire ninja world we can't go. We can let the Uchiha clan's bloodline continue outside Konoha!"

As Uchiha Onigawara spoke, his heart gradually sank.

Because he realized his "invitation" had not moved Uchiha Ikeizumi.

He steeled his heart and said, word by word: "Ikeizumi, think of your deceased mother! I am her biological brother! I am your closest relative, your only closest relative, Uchiha Ikeizumi!"

"Finished?"

Uchiha Ikeizumi, looking down with an expressionless face, asked.

"…Finished," Uchiha Onigawara said, suppressing the discomfort in his heart.

Uchiha Ikeizumi said, "'Evil' is 'evil.' The [Absolute Justice] I believe in will not forgive you just because you share similar blood with me. Moreover, I don't have the authority to forgive you."

Damn it… this brat is simply too extreme to describe!

Uchiha Onigawara's face was utterly grim.

He already regretted hiding in this spot. If he had chosen a different location, he might not have run into this cold-blooded brat.

But then he heard Uchiha Ikeizumi say indifferently, "Uchiha Onigawara, you, who only regret meeting me, are beyond redemption. In my eyes, you are sickeningly repulsive."

Uchiha Onigawara's face was filled with disbelief.

Could his inner thoughts be seen through so easily?

And this damned brat…

"Fire Style…"

"Great Fireball Jutsu!"

He swiftly formed hand signs without hesitation, and a massive fireball flew towards Uchiha Ikeizumi above him.
