Chapter 154: Tsunade's Killing Intent!
Hokage's Office.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was in no mood to deal with today's duties. He was holding a long pipe, his eyebrows furrowed as he puffed out smoke, as if only the spicy taste of the tobacco could calm him down a bit.
He had arranged for the group of Amegakure envoys to be received by Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane.
Hiruzen Sarutobi knew that with his current emotional state, it was not a good idea to meet with the Amegakure envoys.
He needed some private space to calm down.
Just then, a ninja dog jumped onto the window sill, alarming the ANBU guards in the Hokage's office.
Before Pakkun could speak, three sharp ninja blades were held against his small head.
The three ANBU ninjas, wearing masks, stared at him with a scrutinizing gaze, as if his head would instantly fall to the ground if he made any sudden movements.
Pakkun was almost scared to pee. Fortunately, Hiruzen Sarutobi also noticed him and said, "You are Kakashi's ninja dog, aren't you? Do you have any special information to give me?"
Upon hearing this, Pakkun felt the ninja blades on his head move away slightly, at least no longer pressing against his fur, which allowed him to breathe a sigh of relief.
He swallowed hard and said in a hurry, "Kakashi told me to inform you about the situation at the Ninja Academy."
Pakkun relayed what Kakashi had told him.
Hiruzen Sarutobi froze.
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but not a single word came out.
Hiruzen Sarutobi had considered many possibilities.
—That a spy from another ninja village was the mastermind, trying to affect his state of mind as the Hokage of Konoha in this way, making him lose his composure and reveal a weakness.
—That Ikeizumi's Mangekyō Sharingan Genjutsu had a problem, causing the child to remember her dark memories.
—Maybe the deceased wasn't Sakura Sarutobi and they had identified the wrong person.
He had considered all kinds of absurd possibilities.
But he had never expected…
Hiruzen Sarutobi fell into a deathly silence.
In his mind, they were supposed to be the three young members of the Sarutobi clan who were supposed to be cute, lively, and the future pillars of the Sarutobi clan.
She was supposed to be a Ninja Academy teacher who was supposed to cultivate more excellent ninjas for Konoha.
All of this seemed a little too absurd.
It was something Hiruzen Sarutobi found hard to accept.
"How could this happen…" Hiruzen Sarutobi was lost. He also served as the head of the Sarutobi clan, and he also served as the honorary principal of the Ninja Academy. But if there were problems with the people in both places, did it not have something to do with him as the Hokage? It was hard for him to convince himself that all of this had nothing to do with him.
After taking a deep breath, Hiruzen Sarutobi brushed away the confusion in his eyes and said to Pakkun with a complex expression, "I understand. Go back and tell Kakashi…"
"Just say…"
Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly hesitated. He clenched his fist and then let go, placing the long pipe on the table and staring at the wisp of smoke slowly drifting upward from the pipe.
After a long silence, Hiruzen Sarutobi finally spoke. "Just say… don't interfere and let Ikeizumi handle it."
After saying this, Hiruzen Sarutobi seemed to have been drained of half his strength. He sat listlessly in his office chair.
He was truly lost.
…
At the Ninja Academy.
"Teruji Sarutobi." Under the watchful eyes of the Ninja Academy teachers, and with the painful screams of the brat under his foot, Uchiha Ikeizumi casually said a name. The screams of the young Sarutobi clan member under his foot stopped abruptly.
Because his name was Teruji Sarutobi!
Teruji Sarutobi's eyes widened. Fear and despair seemed to have covered the pain in his face and hand.
I'm still a child!
This Uchiha ninja wouldn't do anything to me, would he?
He already pierced my hand with his ninja blade and crushed half of my face with his foot. That must be the limit of his punishment, right?
But he heard Uchiha Ikeizumi say in a cold and shocking tone, "Your vile acts have reached the point of being unforgivable!"
"Wa…"
Teruji Sarutobi's eyes showed endless fear, but as soon as a single word came out of his mouth, he felt the foot on his head explode with an extremely terrifying force.
He seemed to hear the "crack" of his facial bones breaking. The splitting headache made his facial expression extremely distorted.
He felt like his head was about to explode!
BANG!!!
The expressions of several Ninja Academy teachers were now extremely horrified. They stared at the scene with their mouths agape. By all accounts, as teachers, they should have stopped everything from happening. After all, this was the Ninja Academy!
But not a single one of them dared to take a step forward.
The three Uchiha Police Force ninjas' eyelids also twitched slightly. It was clear that even as Uchiha clan ninjas, they felt that Uchiha Ikeizumi's actions were a little too extreme.
If the three of them were handling it, they would have at least taken the three brats to the Police Force to deal with them.
But the three of them were still much calmer than the Ninja Academy teachers.
Tsunade closed her eyes slightly. She did not stop any of this from happening. She didn't know if she was suppressing her fear of blood or the killing intent in her heart.
If she had a slightly more extreme personality…
She probably…
Would have done the same thing as this Uchiha Ikeizumi brat.
"Lady Tsunade…" Shizune swallowed hard and looked at Tsunade with great concern.
"…I'm fine."
Tsunade shook her head.
Uchiha Ikeizumi slowly moved his right leg, which was stained with blood. He glanced coldly at a young Sarutobi clan member who was trembling. Every word he said was like a summons from the King of Hell, making one's heart tremble. "Katsuji Sarutobi."
Before the young Sarutobi clan member named "Katsuji Sarutobi" could react, Uchiha Ikeizumi had already walked past him and continued. "Kuranosuke Sarutobi. Your crimes are vile and unforgivable."
"I, my father is a Konoha Jōnin of the Sarutobi clan! You can't…"
SPLAT!
Kuranosuke Sarutobi only saw a flash of a blade in front of his eyes. His voice stopped at that moment.
Katsuji Sarutobi: "!!!"
Katsuji Sarutobi, who had been walked past, was horrified and confused at the same time.
Teruji Sarutobi and Kuranosuke Sarutobi were both dead. Why was he still alive? The scary man had already walked past him. Could it be that his crimes weren't punishable by death? But the other person had clearly said that he would also be executed immediately…
Just as Katsuji Sarutobi was stunned, he suddenly felt his vision blurring a little. The things he saw were also a little distorted, and he felt a dizzy spell in his head.
Under everyone's gaze.
A faint bloodline slowly appeared on his neck.
Until the bloodline became thicker, until the blood slowly flowed down from his neck, until his head uncontrollably tilted and fell.
Katsuji Sarutobi suddenly understood.
So…
He was already dead.
…
At the same time, on a large tree not far away.
"Don't interfere…" Kakashi's mouth twitched, because Pakkun had already brought back the Hokage's order. But even without the Third Hokage's order, he wouldn't interfere.
Obstructing Uchiha Ikeizumi from carrying out justice was the equivalent of betting his life on the words "he won't kill me."
Many people had done this, but they all lost the bet.
Kakashi didn't think he had any heaven-defying luck.
"Besides."
Kakashi muttered. "Lord Hokage, your order came too late. Uchiha Ikeizumi has already handled it. Maybe the Sarutobi clan will have to hold another funeral, and… they might have to bury four brats at once."
Kakashi, hidden in the tree, watched the horrifying scene in front of him.
He muttered helplessly. "Couldn't Uchiha Ikeizumi have found a more secluded place to do it? Even taking them to the Police Force would have been fine. Is he not worried about scaring the brats by doing it at the Ninja Academy?"
However.
Maybe Uchiha Ikeizumi had his own reasons. Maybe he intended to scare those brats.
It was also a warning to "kill the chicken to scare the monkeys."
Kakashi felt that many of the Ninja Academy brats who were secretly looking outside must have been scared by Uchiha Ikeizumi.
And in fact.
That was the case.
…
GULP!
Sakura Haruno's face was so pale that she had to hold on to the wall to stand still.
She had just watched a head being crushed.
And two other heads being sliced off!
She even saw three headless bodies spurting blood like three fountains. The scarlet blood entered Sakura Haruno's sight, making her feel weak all over.
Although she was a bit far away, she was still young and her eyesight hadn't deteriorated. She could still clearly see the two heads with expressions of fear and despair staring blankly in her direction.
"He killed them… Iruka-sensei!" Sakura Haruno's eyes were filled with tears, and her face was pale. "Someone was killed outside… Three people died, and… they were all Ninja Academy students…"
"I said, don't look! And don't pay attention to it!"
Iruka now regretted not asking Lord Hokage to have thick curtains installed in every classroom.
"Naruto!"
"Sasuke!"
"You two don't have to stand on your tiptoes to look outside! I told you to stand as a punishment, not to watch what's happening outside. And… Shikamaru, Kiba, Chōji! What are you doing? Get back to your seats right now!"
Iruka, with a dark face, wished he could grab every student and lock them in their seats with chains.
Because he was genuinely worried that these little guys would be affected by what was happening outside.
"Iruka-sensei, you're our teacher, and Ikeizumi-sensei is also our teacher. It's not a big deal for Sasuke and me to watch Ikeizumi-sensei carry out justice, is it?"
Naruto mumbled in dissatisfaction.
"Carrying out justice is not something you're old enough to get involved in! At your age, you need to properly shape your values and morals! You need to have some culture before you can even understand what justice is!"
Iruka stressed, his heart feeling tired.
