Naruto: Uchiha's Absolute Justice

Chapter 45: Justice Executed, No Relatives Spared

Upon seeing the spy ninja who was supposed to meet him killed, and hearing Uchiha Ikeizumi's utterly dispassionate words, Uchiha Onigawara realized that his only way out was to fight his way through at top speed!

He took a deep breath, and from his mouth, a giant fireball erupted, surging upwards.

The raging flames scorched the wooden house walls to charcoal.

The firelight cast an orange glow on the lower half of Uchiha Ikeizumi's face.

Uchiha Ikeizumi formed a single hand sign. Facing the incoming Great Fireball Jutsu, he neither dodged nor retreated. Instead, he leaped downwards, directly into the inferno.

The flames instantly devoured him, but in the blink of an eye, his figure pierced through the fiery bite.

When Uchiha Ikeizumi landed on the ground below.

Several drops of lava slid from his body, melting several shallow pits into the ground, which still emitted faint white smoke.

But as far as the eye could see, Uchiha Onigawara was nowhere to be found.

Only the corpse of the spy ninja he had killed remained.

Uchiha Ikeizumi glanced down at the footprints on the ground.

He narrowed his eyes and pursued in the opposite direction of the footprints.

...

"Why could that brat Ikeizumi awaken the Lava Release kekkei genkai… Even though I'm blood-related to him, I only have the Sharingan kekkei genkai, while he's a genius with two kekkei genkai!"

Uchiha Onigawara gritted his teeth in envy as he moved swiftly.

He naturally didn't think that Fire Style could harm Uchiha Ikeizumi.

He was merely using Fire Style to momentarily obstruct him.

Even a single second of delay would be enough for him to escape.

However…

"Uchiha Onigawara is here!" Having evaded Uchiha Ikeizumi, he ran straight into a Police Force ninja.

Upon hearing that shout, Uchiha Onigawara's face turned incredibly grim.

His Sharingan quickly tracked the trajectory of an incoming projectile.

He immediately dodged sideways, and several shuriken grazed his cheek, one even cutting him.

A Police Force ninja, holding a ninja blade, was already closing in.

Uchiha Onigawara deftly ducked down.

Dodging a slash, he punched the opponent's wrist, then tightened his fingers around it, twisting it back. With a "crack," the Police Force ninja screamed.

Uchiha Onigawara snatched the ninja blade, simultaneously hooking the opponent's ankle to unbalance them, then plunged the blade downwards.

"Hm?!" Just as the blade was about to pierce the Police Force ninja's chest.

His Three-Tomoe Sharingan's exceptional dynamic vision caught something unusual to his right.

Uchiha Onigawara only saw a flash of molten light before his eyes.

He hastily retreated a step.

Immediately after, Uchiha Onigawara was horrified to discover that the blade of the ninja sword he had seized had vanished! From the broken part of the sword, scalding, reddish-hot molten iron was still dripping!

"…Lava Release?!"

The person he least wanted to see reappeared in his vision.

Uchiha Onigawara gritted his teeth, saying, "Ikeizumi! Is it really necessary to eradicate your own blood relative!?"

"Justice executed."

"No relatives spared."

Uchiha Ikeizumi's right arm had completely transformed into lava, the surging molten rock causing his arm to constantly expand. The scent of sulfur in the air made Uchiha Onigawara's pupils constrict slightly.

Uchiha Onigawara felt his vision blur. Uchiha Ikeizumi's figure vanished, and when his eyes finally caught the other's body again, they were already less than three meters apart!

Too fast!

"Water Style—" Uchiha Onigawara swore this was the fastest he had ever performed hand signs in his entire life.

"Grand Waterfall Jutsu!"

Terrifying streams of water surged towards Uchiha Ikeizumi, while Uchiha Ikeizumi's expanding lava right arm simultaneously struck out.

With the swing of his right arm, the lava arm rapidly expanded further and further, until it transformed into an astonishingly large lava giant fist, colliding with Uchiha Onigawara's terrifying water currents!

The lava…

Swallowed the Water Style!

The incredibly horrifying scene before him terrified the disarmed Police Force ninja, who scrambled to dodge, rolling and crawling.

Even so, the splashing scalding water, and the equally splashing and more lethal lava, still affected him.

His face was scalded by the boiling water, the intense pain making him grit his teeth so hard they might shatter.

A few drops of lava grazed past him, melting his Police Force protective vest with their terrifying heat.

This scared the Police Force ninja into quickly tearing off his vest.

His pupils trembled with lingering fear: "Is this the combat of a Jonin…? I probably don't even have the qualifications to intervene. How did I dare to think of stopping Uchiha Onigawara by myself just now?"

If Uchiha Ikeizumi hadn't suddenly intervened and saved his life, he might have already died at Uchiha Onigawara's hands, right?

...

"The commotion came from this way! Uchiha Onigawara must be here!"

A group of Uchiha Police Force ninja rushed from all directions.

Pairs of Sharingan furiously scanned their surroundings.

To prevent Uchiha Onigawara from slipping past them unnoticed.

Fugaku, the Captain of the Police Force, also personally arrived.

He led the charge, running at the very front of everyone.

Just then, as a gentle breeze swept over him, Fugaku Uchiha's nose twitched; he caught a scent that, while somewhat pungent, was incredibly familiar.

"It smells a bit like sulfur…"

"…Ikeizumi?!"

...

"Hah… hah… The gap…"

Uchiha Onigawara staggered back a few steps, staring in horror at his suddenly missing ten fingers, feeling intense, sharp pain radiating from the high temperature on his palms.

He gasped, cold sweat pouring down, "The gap… can it really be this vast?"

Uchiha Onigawara lowered his arms, gazing at Uchiha Ikeizumi, who was slowly walking towards him.

A vein throbbed on his forehead, and he squeezed out a roar: "Your power is already on par with anyone in the village, including the Hokage, isn't it?! With that kind of power… why are you still serving Konoha?!"

"Do we, the proud Uchiha, have to be the Hokage's lapdogs?! Are you going to be like Uchiha Itachi, who, despite being Uchiha, sold us out?!"

Whoosh—

Uchiha Fugaku arrived at this very last moment, quite coincidentally.

He indeed saw Uchiha Ikeizumi's figure, witnessing Uchiha Ikeizumi confronting the disheveled Uchiha Onigawara.

Fugaku immediately understood the situation.

This child, Ikeizumi… he really wasn't just reliable!

He actually intended to uphold justice even against his own family!

His [Absolute Justice] truly wasn't just talk.

It was the ninja way he intended to follow for his entire life!

But in the next second, Fugaku heard Uchiha Ikeizumi's voice.

"I have never served Konoha, and people like Uchiha Itachi are not the same as me."

Uchiha Ikeizumi said eerily, "Give me a chance to kill the Hokage one-on-one, and I won't hesitate. Unfortunately, while he trusts me in some ways, he also seems very wary of me, always surrounded by many ANBU."

Fugaku: "…?"
