Chapter 100 Danzo's End [2]

Chapter 101 Danzo's End [2] (5000 words)

Standing behind her, Izumi looked at Izumi-senpai's solitary figure and felt extremely ashamed.

Because her senior's mission was for her to personally kill Shimura Danzo, and now he was helping her stop all the Anbu ninjas. All of this stemmed from Uchiha Izumi's weakness.

Tachibana Jiro also spoke up, saying, "Newcomer, just accept the test that Lord Ikezumi has given you. There's no need to be so hesitant; Lord Ikezumi dislikes people with conflicted personalities the most."

"If you understand Lord Ikezumi's good intentions, you should carry out his orders without hesitation."

Quan gave a heavy "hmm," gritted her teeth, and forcibly shifted her gaze to a secret room with its door wide open.

She could clearly see Danzo lying there, only half of him remaining, and she could also see Danzo staring at her with eyes wide open in fury.

Izumi drew his ninja sword and walked into the secret room under everyone's watchful eyes.

"Hey! Wait a minute!" An ANBU ninja cried out in alarm. He couldn't even imagine what the Hokage's reaction would be if he knew that Danzo, whom he was protecting, had been suddenly killed.

The Hokage will most likely reprimand them all at that time.

Because this was indeed a dereliction of duty by the secret service.

Just as he was about to step forward to stop Quan, he suddenly heard the sound of lava dripping to the ground! He could also clearly feel that the temperature inside the Dark Army base was rising rapidly.

He was drenched in sweat, whether from fright or from the heat, it was hard to tell.

The ANBU ninja froze, quickly looking at Uchiha Ikezumi.

"This road is blocked."

"Whoever comes will die."

Uchiha Ikezumi was calmly repeating the same two sentences.

Anbu ninja: "...—"

Mitokado: "..—

Inside a sealed room.

Lying on the iron bed, Danzo's eyes were filled with violence and killing intent. He never expected that Uchiha Ikezumi would be able to find this place, and he never expected that the other party would be so ruthless in killing him!

Is he truly worthy of being called a born evil Uchiha brat?

now.

The Uchiha girl wielding a ninja sword came into Danzo's view, making him suddenly realize that this was the one who wanted to kill him!

Damn!

They've already come knocking on our door, and that bastard Uchiha Izumi isn't going to do it himself? Instead, he's sending some nobody 'sidekick' to execute Shimura Danzo?

What does he mean by that?

Does it mean they look down on themselves?

Are you worried about getting your hands dirty?

Don't you want to do it yourself?

"..." Danzo, whose throat had long since become hoarse from screaming, looked ferocious and tried to say something, but he couldn't utter a single word. He stared intently at the Uchiha girl who was gradually approaching.

He could see the nervousness in the eyes of the Uchiha girl, but there seemed to be a hint of determination in that nervousness!

In the past, Danzo could have killed this Uchiha brat with just one hand.

But now, Danzo was filled with nothing but terror amidst his fury!

Because his body was strapped to the iron bed and he couldn't move, the original intention was to prevent him from moving around and getting hurt again, but this "protection" has now become a kind of prohibition!

What about Mitokaku inflammation?!

Isn't he outside? Where are the Anbu ninjas? Aren't they in the Anbu base? Why aren't they showing up? They took my Sharingan, they stole my Root, are they just going to abandon me now?

"——."

"!!!"

With his single eye wide open, Danzo struggled violently on the iron bed. Only a hoarse, strange growl could be heard from his throat. The unease, fear, and burning pain in his soul caused every muscle in Danzo's face to tremble uncontrollably.

"Senior Ikezumi must have been under immense pressure holding off all the Anbu ninjas all by himself outside, but my weak strength is simply not enough to share that burden with him."

"As my senior once said, [Absolute Justice] means that as long as evil is eradicated, justice will reward you. The power that comes from this reward will make justice stronger, so there's no need to oppose it."

The girl's determined gaze fell on Shimura Danzo.

She knew how many evil deeds this man had committed, and even though he looked like a weak old man, she felt no pity for him.

"Shimura Danzo, when you committed so many crimes, did you ever consider the feelings of the innocent people you persecuted?"

"Take a good look at it. What you are feeling now is what they truly felt when you persecuted them."

"Justice in absence can hardly be considered justice."

"But someone has to make up for the lack of justice for the innocent."

Danzo stared intently with his remaining eye, thinking, "This muttering, neurotic, evil Uchiha brat deserves to die! Deserves to die! Deserves to die!!!"

Danzo was filled with despair and madness. If he were a Uchiha clan ninja, his current emotional turmoil alone would be enough to awaken his Mangekyou Sharingan.

!!!

next second.

Danzo's entire field of vision was suddenly filled with a flash of light. He felt his vision shift, and the evil Uchiha brat in his sight disappeared. Suddenly, everything spun around him, and the last thing he saw was a foot of the iron bed.

The girl instinctively imitated Uchiha Izumi's killing habits, and her sharp ninja sword instantly severed Danzo's head.

Staring at the head that rolled off the iron bed and onto the floor with a "gurgling" sound.

A strange flush suddenly appeared on Quan's resolute little face.

She truly felt the gift from [Absolute Justice]. This gift was many times more abundant than the last one. The rapid increase in the amount of chakra in her body greatly shocked Uchiha Izumi!

What kind of power is it that allows one to obtain the reward of "absolute justice" after killing evildoers?

It must be Ike Izumi's Mangekyou Sharingan ability!

[Ding! Your trained follower of "Absolute Justice" has successfully killed a "red-name" villain! Your chakra has been boosted! Congratulations, you have successfully obtained the new skill "Wood Release: Bloodline Limit"!]

[At the same time, Uchiha Izumi also received a significant boost in chakra!]

[Absolute Justice] Believer "Uchiha Izumi" has passed the final test of justice; she will gain the ability to see through the evil deeds of others!

Outside the sealed room.

When Uchiha Izumi saw the three prompts appear before him, he knew that Izumi had finally lived up to his expectations. This clumsy newbie had finally passed.

At the very last moment of his life, Shimura Danzo made his greatest contribution to the ninja world—the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai!

The arm, which had been slowly dripping lava, was restored to its original state.

The cold killing intent on Uchiha Ikezumi's face also dissipated somewhat.

Mitokado En observed all of his reactions.

Mitokado Yan immediately realized what had happened.

Danzo

died!

Mitokazu had never felt such complex emotions before.

Previously, when he saw Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi being choked by Izumi Uchiha and trembling with anger, Homura Mitokado thought it was because Hiruzen was too old and indecisive, making it difficult for even a young man to control him.

When Mitokado Homura saw that Fugaku Uchiha was not taken seriously by Izumi Uchiha, he felt that Fugaku lacked the dignity of a clan leader. However, this kind of Uchiha clan leader was quite good; he would have some concerns if it were a hardline Uchiha clan leader.

When he saw Koharu Utatane also angered by Izumi Uchiha to the point of turning her face black as a pot, he felt that although Koharu talked about what she would do, her actual actions were still not strong enough.

Now that the roles have been reversed, Homura Mitokado finds himself performing even worse than the three people mentioned above.

He didn't even have the confidence to lead the eight Anbu ninjas who rushed over from behind to force their way into the secret room and rescue Danzo!

Mito's old face was filled with a serious expression.

He stared blankly as an Uchiha girl who had entered the secret room came out again, carrying a ninja sword with blood stained on its blade.

Danzo—

Mitokado closed his eyes in deep sorrow, his sense of shared grief reaching its peak at that moment.

When he opened his eyes, his gaze was extremely complicated as he looked at Uchiha Ikezumi and said, "Suppose I were also a 'villain' like Danzo in your eyes, would you kill me too?"

"Yes," Uchiha Ikezumi replied with a single word.

Mitokado Homura felt a chill run through his body. He didn't know whether he should be angry or glad that he wasn't Hiruzen's black glove.

When Konoha founded Root, Mitokado Homura actually wanted to compete for the position of Root leader.

If he had truly defeated Danzo back then, he would have become the darkness of Konoha.

So, my fate and Danzo's fate are going to be reversed?

At the same time, Izumi, who was behind Uchiha Izumi, had already wiped the blood off her sword. After sheathing it, she straightened her back, her small face serious, and said to Uchiha Izumi, "Senpai, Shimura Danzo has been killed!"

Izumi, a high-ranking member of Konoha who was somewhat dazed, died by his own blade.

This completely shattered her illusions about so-called "big shots".

These high-ranking officials who committed evil deeds will also be judged by justice.

The blade of justice can kill these people.

This is Senior Ikezumi's [Absolute Justice]!

Even high-ranking figures like Danzo Shimura are treated equally in the face of "absolute justice".

There is absolutely no right to pardon or exemption!

"Hmm." Uchiha Izumi nodded slightly, which was enough to acknowledge the girl's performance tonight. His calm gaze swept over Mitokado Homura and the group of ANBU ninjas in front of him.

Although his eyes were completely calm, everyone present felt a tightness in their hearts, fearing that he might reveal some evil. Even though they asked themselves, they felt that they had not done anything wrong.

But that sense of tension just wouldn't go away.

The pervasive smell of sulfur in the air and the stench of blood spreading from the sealed room constantly warned them what would happen if they were targeted by [Absolute Justice].

Until they watched helplessly as Uchiha Ikezumi left with a human-cat companion and a girl from the Uchiha clan.

"Lord Mitomon, we—" A masked ninja member's expression betrayed a sense of frustration as he hesitated to speak.

"Go and inform Hiruzen—and also inform the Shimura clan. Send a few more people to keep an eye on Danzo's body; it holds too many secrets, and we can't let spies from other villages get their hands on it."

Mitokado Yan sighed, his entire spirit seemed to wane, and he looked several years older.

He felt that if Hiruzen were here, he could definitely protect Danzo.

There are reasons why I can only be an advisor.

"Yes, Lady Mitokado!"

The Sarutobi clan's residence.

"I should be able to get some rest tonight." Hiruzen Sarutobi, holding a pipe, exhaled a puff of smoke, looking quite tired.

Thinking of all the trouble Uchiha Ikezumi had recently caused the village, and all the huge messes he had made, Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but rub his aching temples hard.

Especially the matter of Naruto and the son of the Daimyo.

Compared to these two events, the death of a ninja clan member in the Utatane clan is not a big deal at all.

"I'm afraid we can't keep this matter of the daimyo's son a secret for long, and I don't know how to explain it to the daimyo."

Just as Hiruzen Sarutobi was looking at his pipe with considerable trouble.

An ANBU ninja stormed directly into the Sarutobi clan's territory.

The ANBU ninja immediately located Hiruzen Sarutobi's bedroom, knocked on the door, and said urgently, "Hokage-sama, Uchiha Ikezumi led a group into the ANBU base tonight and killed Shimura Danzo!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi: ".--???"

"Cough! Cough cough cough!!!" The sudden surge of emotion caused Hiruzen Sarutobi to choke on a mouthful of smoke, and the wooden pipe in his hand was instantly crushed in two.

After finally calming down, he immediately took the half-smoked pipe from his hand and quickly opened the sliding door of the bedroom.

His incredulous eyes were fixed on the ANBU ninja in front of him.

"Say that again?!"

The ANBU ninja had no choice but to quickly repeat it.

And it was explained in more detail.

Hiruzen Sarutobi: "...—

"Danzo, hoo!" Although he could guess that Uchiha Ikezumi would not let Danzo off so easily, and he had guessed that such a day would come, he did not expect that day to come so soon.

Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly realized that he wasn't actually that sad.

Ultimately, Danzo's other identity is that of a formidable competitor to Gai, and Hiruzen Sarutobi is well aware that Danzo has always been under Gai's thumb, and has even taken some audacious actions, though those actions were stopped.

Danzo's death was unlikely to evoke any sadness in him.

This only greatly shocked Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Chi Quan has been working non-stop all day.

Don't you need to rest?!

"Hmm—wait!" Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly realized something, his pupils contracting slightly as he immediately asked the ANBU ninja, "Who are the people Ikezumi brought?!"

"She's a girl from the Uchiha clan." The ANBU ninja was a little confused as to why the Hokage was sometimes excited, sometimes not, and then suddenly very excited again.

"Uchiha Girl—"

"Uchiha Izumi!"

The weight that had been hanging over Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart finally lifted. What he had been worried about was that Izumi Uchiha would take Naruto to kill Danzo!

However, in front of outsiders, Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't show concern for Danzo's death as much as he did for Naruto.

Otherwise, it would be disheartening.

After all, in the eyes of many people, Danzo was his black glove.

It's just that everyone knows it but doesn't say it.

Then, Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a grim face, "Come with me to the Root base!"

"Yes, Hokage-sama!"

On the other side, at the Uchiha clan's residence.

As night fell, Uchiha Izumi walked home alone. She remembered what her senior had told her before he left—that tonight's mission was complete and she could go home and rest.

but.

"How could I possibly sleep!"

Izumi reached out and vigorously rubbed her long hair. The image of her beheading Shimura Danzo without hesitation was still echoing in her mind. The feeling of killing a high-ranking Konoha official with her own hands made her feel very strange.

However, I must admit that my understanding of "absolute justice" has reached a higher level.

She understood the good intentions of her senior, Chi Quan.

Although the senior usually doesn't talk much and has a cold demeanor, it's as if he has isolated everyone in the world.

However, only when you get close to your senior can you realize that he has always been silently watching over everyone he knows. "Hmm?!"

Just as the girl was filled with mixed emotions, she suddenly stopped in her tracks, as if sensing something, and her heart tightened. Almost instantly, she pulled a kunai from her ninja tool pouch and threw it behind her.

-

Whoosh! ! !

The kunai flashed past a fox-faced ANBU mask and slammed into the trunk of a large tree behind them.

"You've made a lot of progress lately, Izumi. It seems that being by that man's side has indeed helped you grow considerably. You could even say that your growth rate is astonishing."

The sudden, familiar, and indifferent voice made Quan's pupils shrink.

When it turned around hastily, it saw a short figure standing not far behind it.

The other party had already removed the ANBU mask, and a mark was visible on the left side of the mask, made by a kunai.

Quan will never forget that young face of the other person.

"—Uchiha Itachi!!!"

Izumi instinctively gripped the hilt of her ninja sword at her waist with her right hand, and activated her three-tomoe Sharingan without hesitation. She took a half-step back warily, staring at Uchiha Itachi, whom she had once regarded as her best friend, but who had now fallen halfway into the abyss of evil.

"Do you still dare to show your face in the Uchiha clan's territory? If I were to shout right now, many clansmen would probably come out and try to kill you!"

Quan said coldly.

That cold tone, as if speaking to a complete stranger, made Itachi Uchiha fall silent for half a second.

"spring-"

"Call me Uchiha Izumi," Izumi interrupted. "Until you completely get rid of that thought and return to normal, we're not that close."

Izumi now harbors immense physical and psychological resentment towards Itachi Uchiha.

She couldn't accept that a beast who would kill her mother in the future would call her by her name.

Uchiha Itachi, however, remained expressionless and continued, "I saw you and Uchiha Izumi leave the Root base. After I went inside, I heard them say that Danzo was dead. And that you killed him."

"Izumi, you've become a stranger to me." He stared at Uchiha Izumi and asked in a low voice, "Are you going to stand against Konoha?"

The atmosphere suddenly turned bone-chilling.
