This Uchiha is really evil

Chapter 13 A Spark of Fire

When Hiruzen Sarutobi thought of Chiba Uchiha's methods, and especially of the death of his nephew Sarutobi Jiro, he was filled with hatred.

Even more frightening is...

He even considered that Sarutobi Jiro's death and Uchiha Chiba's actions might actually make many villagers and ninjas look at him differently and completely change their opinions...

After all, that foolish father and son had caused such a public outcry that even if Uchiha Chiba's methods were extreme, the so-called victims and onlookers would probably think he did a great job.

The potential problems that followed this incident also gave Hiruzen Sarutobi a major headache.

But what he said to Uchiha Shisui was...

"Shisui, I understand the people you're talking about."

"Chiyu may have indeed helped them, resolved their troubles, and punished the wicked, but..."

"If everyone were like him, able to kill without trial, and all judgments of conviction were based solely on their own sense of justice, what chaos would this village, this world, descend into?"

"Today, a gambler addicted to gambling deserves to die; tomorrow, should someone who steals chickens and dogs also deserve to die?"

"If someone accidentally kills an innocent person today, should they die? If an innocent person is wrongly accused and becomes a criminal tomorrow, should they also die?"

"Don't idolize someone's sense of justice."

"Don't idolize lone heroes who do things their own way."

"Worship those who use just means to uphold justice..."

Uchiha Shisui seemed to be deep in thought.

"Lord Hokage, I understand..."

"It seems my thinking is still too naive; I'm easily swayed by that man, Uchiha Chiba..."

"Thank you, Hokage-sama, for setting things right and clearing away my confusion."

Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled gently: "It's best if you understand."

"You and Itachi are both good kids, and the best people to help the village resolve the conflict with the Uchiha clan."

"so……"

"I want to ask you for a favor."

Uchiha Shisui hurriedly replied, "Please give your orders, Hokage-sama."

"I hope you can do everything in your power to suppress the Uchiha clan's rising fighting spirit!"

Uchiha Shisui was startled.

This is the first time the Hokage has spoken so clearly.

This clearly demonstrates his growing trust in himself.

Uchiha Shisui felt a great sense of responsibility, yet also a strange sense of pride.

"Please rest assured, Hokage-sama, I will do everything in my power to do it!"

"Okay, then I'm relieved..."

The smoke rings exhaled by Hiruzen Sarutobi spread throughout the entire room.

The smell of decay and decay grew stronger.

……

"Captain Chiba, what if..."

"If one day Yamakaze and I make a mistake, will you kill us without hesitation?"

During the patrol, Uchiha Aoki, who was following behind, suddenly asked a question.

"meeting."

Qianyu answered indifferently.

Uchiha Aoki and Uchiha Yamakaze exchanged a glance and both gave a wry smile.

"How ruthless..."

"Does the captain have nothing in his heart but justice?"

"have."

"What is it?"

"The power needed to uphold justice."

"..."

"Then, what about your companions? Your friends? Your people?"

Chiyu flew past Konoha like a vulture, his sharp eyes scanning the entire village. The evil and darkness were like rotting flesh to him, his prey and provisions.

"What other tribesmen think is irrelevant."

"But you and I are first and foremost members of the police force responsible for law enforcement, and only then are we Uchiha clan members."

"If you keep mentioning the Uchiha clan every day, you're already planting the seeds of injustice in your heart."

The two seemed to be deep in thought.

"What the captain said makes sense, but we are human after all. It's probably impossible to completely sever the bonds and emotions of family..."

"Therefore, this ninja world needs my existence."

"The captain is simply a ruthless law enforcement machine..."

"I wonder what the captain thinks of us subordinates?"

Qianyu suddenly stopped in her tracks.

Aoki and Yamakaze were taken aback, and then they stopped as well.

"What's wrong, Captain?"

Qianyu glanced back at the two of them.

"Rather than calling you subordinates, or younger brothers, I prefer to think of you as..."

"Followers who can inherit and carry forward my will."

"Of course, this might just be wishful thinking on my part."

"After all, you come from this ninja world, where the environment is completely different, and many of your ideas are already deeply ingrained."

"But if I can influence you a little more and help you understand my actions a little more, perhaps there will be a glimmer of hope."

Aoki said, "I know everything the captain did was for justice, but don't you think your methods were a bit too extreme?"

Qianyu said, "Of course it's extreme; to correct a wrong, one must go to extremes."

"Otherwise, we will never see hope."

After a moment of silence, Shanfeng said, "I understand, Captain Qianyu. I am willing to follow in your footsteps and create a new world that cleanses evil in the name of justice!"

Aoki also said, "Me too!"

Qianyu nodded.

Although his actions seem extreme, he still has some supporters.

Moreover, these people, just like himself, possess fanatical power once they awaken.

In Qianyu's eyes, this tiny glimmer of light was a spark.

……

"Clan Chief, we have recovered Lord Jiro's body. What do you think..."

"When will the burial take place?"

Sarutobi Hiyo glanced at the corpse covered with a white sheet. Although the head and body were barely reattached, a line of blood still seeped through, staining the white sheet red.

He clenched his fist tightly.

No, there's no need for burial.

"Before that, I'll make that beast Uchiha Chiba pay with his life for Jiro!"

The entire Sarutobi clan was terrified.

"Chieftain, this...this is probably..."

"The Hokage instructed us not to act rashly. If we act rashly, it might completely ignite a conflict. The Uchiha clan is already a powder keg; once it's ignited, the consequences will be unimaginable..."

"Chieftain, please reconsider..."

"presumptuous!"

Hiyori Sarutobi flew into a rage: "Do you all think that just because the Hokage said he would remove me from my position as clan head, you can come and lecture me?!"

"This...this subordinate dares not..."

"When has our Sarutobi clan ever been bullied by outsiders?!"

"Can you really tolerate a mere Uchiha killing one of our clansmen?!"

"Jiro may indeed have made mistakes, but who gave Uchiha Chiba the authority to act first and report later? What right did he have to kill him without any trial or the Hokage's decision?!"

"If he can kill Jiro in public today, tomorrow the Uchiha clan can completely dominate our Sarutobi clan. Are we going to end up being slaughtered like this?!"

His words immediately ignited the hatred and anger of many of his clansmen.

"The clan chief is right!"

"The Uchiha clan needs to be taught a lesson!"

"That's right! We must make them hand over the murderer, or they'll learn who the true number one clan in Konoha is now!"

For a moment, righteous indignation and fervent passion filled me.

Although Sarutobi Hiro is no longer the clan leader in name, his reputation, prestige, and the influence of his trusted followers accumulated over the years are still considerable.

Now, he personally led a team of twenty or thirty fanatical members of the Sarutobi clan, and together they charged toward the Uchiha clan's stronghold.

Hiyori Sarutobi gripped his katana tightly, mentally rehearsing countless times the image of slicing through Chiba Uchiha's neck with the blade...

"Jiro, wait a little longer..."

"Soon, Uchiha Chiba will go to the Pure Land of the Underworld to join you!"
