Chapter 56: Sasuke, This is [Absolute Justice]
"Lord Danzō, as you commanded, Root and the Shimura clan have fanned the flames of public opinion in Konoha regarding this matter."
Inside the Root base, a Root ninja knelt before Shimura Danzō, reporting on the day's situation.
"Currently, the unfavorable public opinion regarding the Uchiha clan has spread rampantly and reached an increasingly uncontrollable point."
"I fear that even the Hokage intervening would be unable to control this narrative."
"Lord Danzō, your objective has been achieved."
Listening to the Root ninja's report, Danzō's perpetually grim old face finally revealed a cold, smug smile.
Danzō equally despised every inherently evil Uchiha brat.
Including Uchiha Ikeizumi.
Including Uchiha Fugaku.
Including Uchiha Itachi…
For Danzō, wherever there was anything disadvantageous to the Uchiha clan, he would personally step in to "assist." Of course, this so-called assistance wasn't to support the Uchiha clan, but to add insult to injury, stir up trouble, and gloat from behind the scenes.
"Uchiha Itachi, who will kill off his entire clan in the future…" Danzō's eyes narrowed slightly: "He is indeed a rather special Uchiha. And precisely because of this, this old man wants you to stand completely opposed to the Uchiha clan, to be utterly ostracized by them."
Danzō wished that Uchiha Itachi's "future evil" would happen sooner.
Preferably, tonight would be the night of the Uchiha clan's destruction.
Then he would certainly celebrate.
However…
"Uchiha Ikeizumi… his eyes…" Danzō clenched his fists, the smug cold smile on his face receding. His eyes were gloomy, and his expression was unpredictable as he muttered, "Did he really awaken the legendary eyes, identical to Shisui's? But the ability he possesses isn't the same as Shisui's?"
Danzō found Uchiha Ikeizumi's Sharingan doujutsu, which could see through "past and future evil," truly chilling.
It meant that no one had secrets before Uchiha Ikeizumi; he alone would possess the most complete intelligence in the entire ninja world!
But compared to Uchiha Shisui's "Kotoamatsukami."
Uchiha Ikeizumi's Sharingan ability seemed less formidable?
Although Danzō was somewhat wary.
He wasn't afraid.
Of course, strange thoughts naturally began to sprout.
Enshrouded in darkness, Danzō muttered to himself, "To allow an inherently evil Uchiha brat to wield power they shouldn't possess is always unsettling…"
....
A certain street in Konoha.
"I'm telling you, the Uchiha clan is probably already a river of blood! That Uchiha Itachi must be mentally unstable, all the Uchiha are mentally unstable, he's going berserk."
A "Konoha civilian" was vividly adding embellishments to today's rumors.
His serious demeanor left the people listening to him dumbfounded.
But just then, someone suddenly interjected.
"Uh… didn't you say the Uchiha clan had already been massacred by Uchiha Itachi? Then who's behind you?"
This question made the "Konoha civilian" freeze.
The moment he hastily turned his head, cold sweat broke out from his back, and his pupils slightly contracted.
Uchiha Ikeizumi!!!—That name suddenly surged in his mind.
"Aburame Keiya,"—That name slowly flowed from Uchiha Ikeizumi's lips.
Aburame Keiya, one of Root's elites, almost stopped breathing.
Before he could react, Uchiha Ikeizumi's voice continued: "Six months ago, you transported and sold a large quantity of illicit addictive drugs for Root, an extremely vile act."
"Two years ago, you secretly murdered a Konoha ninja who impeached Shimura Danzō, and also murdered his wife and daughter, then destroyed the bodies to hide the evidence."
"Five years ago…"
As Uchiha Ikeizumi's words echoed, one after another.
An indescribable shock flashed through Aburame Keiya's eyes.
The rumor… was true! Uchiha Ikeizumi's special eyes could truly see a person's past evil!
Even his own identity had been exposed!
"This person is actually a Root ninja?!" Izumi, who had followed closely, looked at Aburame Keiya in shock. She didn't know if it was her stereotype, but it seemed that Root ninja, in Lord Ikeizumi's eyes, were never good people.
Aburame Keiya had already realized things were going badly.
With his identity exposed by Uchiha Ikeizumi, tiny, dense crawling insects began to emerge from his fingertips.
The few genuine Konoha civilians nearby sensed the atmosphere was wrong.
They hastily retreated, wanting to get away from this troubled spot.
Mainly also to get away from Uchiha Ikeizumi, the "plague god" of the Police Force.
Sasuke, who had followed from the very back, also felt the atmosphere was a little off.
He looked at the tense Aburame Keiya.
He couldn't help but ask Izumi beside him, "Is he a criminal?"
Izumi cautiously watched Aburame Keiya, subtly shielding Sasuke behind her, and whispered, "If Senior Ikeizumi says he's a criminal, he's a criminal, and the kind who's committed many evil deeds."
Sasuke was startled and confused, not quite understanding why Izumi trusted this guy named Uchiha Ikeizumi so much.
But he realized that a "criminal apprehension" drama was likely about to unfold before him.
Sasuke looked at Uchiha Ikeizumi's back.
He wanted to see what kind of abilities this person, whom he disliked for once wanting to kill his brother, possessed that made both his mother and brother consecutively warn him to stay away.
"Aburame Keiya, your 'evil' is so concentrated it's sickening."
Every step Uchiha Ikeizumi took forward, Aburame Keiya instinctively took a step back.
"Today, in the name of [Absolute Justice], I shall execute you."
And at the moment Uchiha Ikeizumi's last words fell.
Aburame Keiya, realizing he couldn't escape unscathed, decisively made the first move!
He knew Uchiha Ikeizumi's strength was formidable.
Even Lord Danzō hadn't been able to take him down quickly before.
To escape from his line of sight…
He had to strike first!
"Secret Technique: Destructive Swarm!!!"
A dense mass of countless insects instantly swarmed out from Aburame Keiya's hands, hundreds, even thousands of black insects, like a black curtain, immediately surged towards Uchiha Ikeizumi.
However…
Though his speed was fast, Uchiha Ikeizumi's speed was even faster.
After all, when he saw the red box hovering above Aburame Keiya's head.
In Uchiha Ikeizumi's eyes, he was already a dead man.
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique."
As the dense swarm of black insects was about to engulf him, Uchiha Ikeizumi already exhaled a massive fireball from his mouth.
At the same time, Uchiha Ikeizumi formed a single hand seal.
"Lava Release: Chakra Armor."
Uchiha Ikeizumi, with magma slowly flowing across his skin, plunged directly into the swarm of insects and flames ahead.
The Great Fireball Technique couldn't harm his body, and the flying black insects were vaporized by the terrifying high temperature before they even touched him.
Aburame Keiya's pupils contracted sharply.
But before he could make any further movements, his vision was consumed by a crimson hellhound formed from magma.
—Boom!!!
Half of his head vanished.
....
Sasuke, standing at the very back, watched everything unfold with wide eyes.
Sasuke thought at most Uchiha Ikeizumi would arrest the criminal.
But who could have imagined…
The two sides engaged in battle in an instant.
And…
Someone died!
"Sasuke-kun, this is the [Absolute Justice] Senior Ikeizumi believes in," Izumi explained in a low voice beside him. "Any evil in the ninja world must be thoroughly eradicated with the most decisive means."
