Chapter 30: The Light of the "Volcanic Eruption" Illuminates Konoha
Sarutobi Shinnosuke was truly horrified. The many secrets he had kept hidden deep in his heart were exposed to Uchiha Ikezumi as if he were a naked man with nothing to hide.
It was as if Uchiha Izumi was secretly observing him while he was doing those things!
He even felt that there was a very high possibility that this would happen.
Otherwise, how do you explain that Uchiha Ike Izumi knows so much?
You should know...
The "secret" that Uchiha Ikezumi spoke of was something Sarutobi Shinnosuke never told anyone, including his wife, his father, or even some of his subordinates.
"Uchiha Ikezumi! You..."
Before Sarutobi Shinnosuke could even utter a single word, a powerful sense of suffocation and impending death surged into his heart.
Because a magma bomb the size of a human head suddenly shot out!
He promptly shut his mouth, gripping the hilt of his ninja sword tightly with both hands. A layer of azure chakra clung to the blade.
"drink!!!"
With a single slash, Sarutobi Shinnosuke cleaved the rapidly approaching magma bullet in two.
Just as he was about to swing the knife again, he suddenly felt something was wrong with his grip.
He glanced at her and his pupils contracted slightly.
Ninja sword...
It's broken!
Even with chakra attached to the ninja sword, it still couldn't stop Uchiha Izumi's terrifyingly high temperature magma release?
He immediately looked ahead, only to find that Uchiha Ikezumi had not rushed over, but was half-crouched on the ground, one hand hanging down slightly, his fingertips lightly touching the ground—it seemed that in that brief moment, he had already completed the hand seal.
"Molten Core..."
"Volcanic swamp".
A strange "gurgling" sound entered their ears. Under the horrified gazes of Sarutobi Shinnosuke and the group of Anbu ninjas, the ground centered on Uchiha Izumi's feet began to melt rapidly by an unknown high temperature and turn into magma!
In the blink of an eye, even though Sarutobi Shinnosuke was more than twenty meters away from Uchiha Ikezumi, he noticed that the ground beneath his feet was glowing with a faint crimson light.
"No! Back up!!!"
The instant Sarutobi Shinnosuke decisively gave the order, he led the group of Anbu ninja around him in a swift retreat.
However, one of the secret agents was a step too late.
He did manage to retreat, but as soon as his feet touched the ground, the ANBU ninja suddenly lost his balance and his expression changed drastically.
"Ah! Hiss!!!"
An indescribable pain shot through his ankle, causing him to quickly grab the wall for support while frantically looking down.
"My legs...are gone..."
In my sight, my two feet had vanished without a trace! Faint wisps of smoke were still rising from the broken ankles, filling the air with the pungent smell of burnt meat!
"Captain Shinnosuke! I..."
The ANBU ninja panicked.
however.
Sarutobi Shinnosuke no longer cared about the injuries of his subordinates, because he discovered that Uchiha Izumi's terrifying Lava Release power was rapidly destroying this secret research base!
The terrifying temperature of the magma was melting not only the ground beneath our feet, but also the surrounding walls.
The walls on both sides of the passage have been melted into enormous holes.
Even the metal on the walls was burning with raging flames.
Even from a distance, Sarutobi Shinnosuke and the others were all sweating profusely from the heat.
The temperature here is too high!!!
"Captain Shinnosuke! There's something strange about that lava!" A sharp-eyed ANBU ninja noticed the anomaly—the lava in front of them was bubbling and churning, seemingly rising upwards as if something terrifying was about to burst forth.
He guessed right.
next second.
--boom!!!
A terrifying torrent of lava erupted upwards like a volcanic eruption, instantly melting everything overhead.
Under the horrified gaze of the ANBU ninjas, the secret research base was blasted open by lava, leaving an astonishingly large hole!
From the outside of the base, one can see a burst of crimson lava suddenly bursting out of the ground in the dense forest and shooting into the sky!
It wasn't until it reached a height of 100 meters in the air that the lava transformed into a shower of "rain" that scattered and fell in all directions below.
However, the falling lava bombs were not like harmless rain!
When a fist-sized lava fell.
The indescribable impact, like an exploding tag, blasted a huge hole in the top of the secret research base! It blasted away the rocks above the base, revealing the surface of the buildings.
And such a powerful magma bomb...
Look around.
More than a hundred!
……
It's a little past eight o'clock at night, just as the nightlife is beginning.
Many Konoha villagers had just finished dinner and wanted to go out for a walk to digest their food.
But then they suddenly saw...
A striking crimson light suddenly shot into the sky outside the village.
Then, the beam of light scattered like fireworks.
It seemed to illuminate most of Konoha Village with a faint glow.
"What's that?" a civilian asked, gazing into the distance with a puzzled look. "Is someone setting off fireworks outside the village? Such huge fireworks..."
Someone nearby had a different opinion: "Is this what fireworks look like? It looks more like a volcanic eruption, doesn't it?"
"Are you kidding me? What volcano is this near Konoha?"
"It's just fireworks! But is there some kind of celebration going on recently? I haven't heard of it. If it's not a big occasion, there's no need to set off such big fireworks, right? And why are they setting them off outside the village?!"
"..."
……
Besides the civilians who didn't know ninjutsu, many ninjas in the village also noticed the strange occurrence in the distance.
Inside the Uchiha clan's compound.
A hint of surprise flashed in Mikoto Uchiha's beautiful eyes as she said to her husband beside her, "Fugaku, that looks like... magma, doesn't it? It's just like a volcano that suddenly erupted."
"……Um."
Fugaku gazed at the distant night sky, his expression slightly somber, and nodded slightly, saying, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be Ikezumi. Given Ikezumi's personality, he wouldn't cause such a commotion for no reason. He's outside the village; he's probably encountered a powerful enemy."
"Phew, I have to go out for a bit. You stay home and take good care of Sasuke."
Fugaku had already turned back into the house, preparing to put on his police force combat uniform.
He explained, "Although Chi Quan and I have many disagreements, there is one thing I admire about him. He can always see through what kind of 'evil' a person has done, and he has never made a mistake or wronged anyone."
"Over the years, neither the Fourth Hokage nor the Third Hokage could do anything about him because they couldn't find any excuse to target Uchiha Izumi."
"After Ikezumi kills someone, he will dump the body on us, and we will then dump the body on the Yamanaka clan. The Yamanaka clan always manages to find some horrifying and sinister secrets on the corpses."
Upon hearing this, Mikoto Uchiha hesitated and asked, "So, he might be currently at odds with those who commit evil?"
"Um."
Fugaku, already dressed in police uniform, said calmly, "In any case, he is a member of the police force. As the chief of police, I must lead men to provide support."
