"That guy's strength is beyond what can be overcome simply by numbers!"
To Jiraiya's surprise, Fukasaku and Shima, the two sages, spoke almost simultaneously.
"Although we hate to admit it, Uchiha Izumi's strength has likely surpassed that of Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara in their prime!"
"Back then, the ninja world did consider forming an allied force to fight against those two!"
Fukasaku and Shima slowly recounted an old story: Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha's pacification of the ninja world and the end of the Warring States period was not just empty talk, but a fact that they genuinely defeated the entire ninja world.
In other words, Hashirama Senju only thought about creating a village. Otherwise, with the strength of Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju, they could have unified the ninja world. This is also one of the reasons why Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju parted ways.
"The Great Toad Sage attempted to prophesy Uchiha Izumi, but—"
"But in the Great Toad Sage's prophecy, Uchiha Izumi never existed!"
"Furthermore, the Great Toad Sage has given us orders that we'd better not provoke Uchiha Ikezumi."
"The guy who even the Great Toad Sage fears must have grown tremendously recently."
After hesitating for a moment, Fukasaku and Shima relayed the Great Toad Sage's words to Jiraiya. They were now caught in a dilemma: on one hand, they wanted to bring the Child of Prophecy back to Mount Myōboku, but on the other hand, they couldn't afford to offend Uchiha Ikezumi.
But everyone in Konoha knows that Naruto calls Uchiha Izumi "teacher"!
Fukasaku and Shima can only pin their hopes on Jiraiya, hoping he can change Naruto's mind and return to Mount Myōboku with them. However, Jiraiya doesn't seem to care about this as much as before lately.
"Is that so?"
After listening to what Fukasaku and Shima had to say, Jiraiya fell silent.
No one knew that Jiraiya was actually trying to understand absolute justice. Although at first he felt that absolute justice was completely inhumane, Jiraiya gradually realized that justice cannot tolerate sentimentality.
If Sarutobi Asuma hadn't died, more and more people would have thought that if the Hokage's son could assassinate Uchiha Izumi, then they could assassinate others too!
If Hiruzen Sarutobi's daughter-in-law hadn't died, people would have realized that maintaining connections with other ninja villages didn't necessarily mean death.
Uchiha Izumi's aloofness, however, serves to draw a line for everyone, giving ninjas and even civilians a correct sense of right and wrong, letting them know what they can and cannot do.
"If the ninja world were remodeled according to Uchiha Izumi's ideas, it would probably become a better place, right?"
"The Child of Prophecy —"
"If the Child of Prophecy can change the ninja world, and Uchiha Izumi can also change the ninja world, then why isn't Uchiha Izumi considered the Child of Prophecy?"
Jiraiya muttered to himself, denying that he had taken the crystal ball from the junkyard to rummage through Hiruzen Sarutobi's crystal ball simply to spy on him.
He had clearly given it more thought, and that's why he wasn't as concerned about the affairs of Mount Myōboku anymore.
Meanwhile, in the Land of Grass, Uchiha Ikezumi already knew that the three countries of Earth, Wind, and Lightning had formed an alliance to try and kill him, but he didn't care too much.
"After walking around the country a couple more times, we should be able to wipe out all the villains within the Land of Grass!"
"The Land of Grass truly lives up to its name; evil, like grass, springs back to life with the spring breeze!"
Uchiha Ikezumi looked at Hozuki Castle in front of him. While the ninja world's attention was focused on the three-nation alliance of Earth, Wind and Lightning, Uchiha Ikezumi had already slaughtered the people of the Land of Grass three times over!
However, the villains in the Land of Grass seem to be endless. As soon as Uchiha Ikezumi leaves a town, new villains will naturally appear in that town. This makes Uchiha Ikezumi marvel at the atmosphere of the Land of Grass.
"We still need to send the security force to the Land of Grass, meow!"
"If you're the only one relying on Ikezumi, unless you stay in the Land of Grass forever, this country is doomed, meow!"
Tachibana Jiro couldn't help but sigh; he couldn't understand why this country was like this.
"I'm afraid we won't have enough manpower for the security force."
Uchiha Izumi was also helpless. More and more members of the Uchiha clan were taking justice as their standard, but in order to establish a security force in the Land of Water, many of the Uchiha clan's elites had already been transferred away.
If another batch of Uchiha clan members were to be transferred away, Konoha's security would be compromised.
Even the ninjas within Konoha couldn't leave on a large scale to form a security force, since Konoha itself needed ninjas for protection, and the shortage of personnel had become an urgent problem for Uchiha Ikezumi.
"I feel like Shisui's Sharingan is still a waste, meow!"
"If Shisui were here, he could completely change the minds of some villains whose crimes were not so serious, and let them temporarily form a guard team to maintain order."
Tachibana Jiro thought of Uchiha Shisui. Regarding Uchiha Shisui giving his Sharingan to Uchiha Itachi, Tachibana Jiro could only say that Shisui was completely blind!
No, Shisui was already blind.
"After we finish the last two rounds of killing, let's find those towns that haven't done anything wrong and have them form their own security forces!"
Uchiha Ikezumi didn't pay much attention to Tachibana Jiro's words. In Uchiha Ikezumi's view, using the power of ninjutsu to change other people's minds was not a righteous act. Even if Shisui left his Mangekyou Sharingan to him, he would not do such a thing.
"Is the matter of the Earth, Wind, and Thunder Three Kingdoms Alliance really alright, meow?"
Tachibana Jiro then brought up another matter.
"The ninja world should realize that absolute justice is unstoppable!"
Uchiha Ikezumi shook his head. He had long anticipated that the daimyo of the three countries of Earth, Wind, and Lightning might do something irrational, and forming an alliance was not a bad thing for him.
If he can defeat the combined forces of the three kingdoms of Earth, Wind, and Thunder head-on, then the daimyo of these three kingdoms will realize that absolute justice cannot be stopped by anyone.
However, it remains to be seen whether these three great names will still be around.
Just as Uchiha Izumi was continuing his cleanup in the Land of Grass, in the Hidden Stone Village on the other side, two White Zetsu burrowed underground and entered beneath the coffin of Onoki, the Two Scales.
"Is this the helper Black Zetsu provided for me?"
"A special organism with Hashirama cells transplanted into its body?"
"Not only can he use Wood Release, but he can also move freely underground and even disguise himself as anyone!"
Kabuto looked at the White Zetsu in front of him, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes behind his glasses. After Black Zetsu sent him these White Zetsu, he even told him that even if he lost a hand or foot, he could be instantly restored as long as he was reattached to a White Zetsu's body.
As a researcher, Kabuto Yakushi, like Orochimaru in the original world, recognized the wider applications of White Zetsu!
