"Hokage, the Uchiha Police Force should be disciplined!"
Inside the Hokage building, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had just finished processing half of the official documents, was patiently listening to a ninja's complaint: "Today, the Uchiha Police Force injured people in broad daylight! They cut off a civilian's leg and dragged him on the street. The blood trail stretched for hundreds of meters."
"Many villagers saw this scene, and many children saw it too. Hokage, the Uchiha Police Force's behavior seems to have exceeded the scope of law enforcement, right?"
"This kind of law enforcement will only make everyone in the village more uneasy, right?"
A ninja who does not have a pivotal position in the village and does not have extraordinary strength can come to complain to the Hokage in person because he also has the last name "Sarutobi."
He is a younger generation in the Hokage's family.
Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned and immediately asked, "How is the injured person being dragged?"
The ninja shook his head and replied, "I saw that the Uchiha people were so domineering, so I couldn't help but run to you, Lord Hokage, and didn't notice the condition of the injured. But..."
"If a person's leg is cut off and he doesn't receive timely treatment, he may not live for a few minutes."
Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned.
At this moment, he suddenly thought of something and asked again, "Who were the Uchiha people present?"
The ninja hesitated and said, "It's Uchiha Ikeizumi... In addition to him, there is an unknown Uchiha girl."
"Ikeizumi?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's brows relaxed.
Under the astonished gaze of the younger generation of the family, Sarutobi Hiruzen actually put his hands behind his back and said quietly: "If it was Ikeizumi, then he must have his reasons for doing so."
"Hokage-sama, but..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen interrupted directly: "You are so anxious to come and tell me this matter, just because you think that Uchiha Ikeizumi's behavior will affect your bathhouse business, right?"
"You go back! This matter is a matter of the police force. I believe Ikeizumi will give me an explanation soon. After all, he has been so eccentric from beginning to end."
Sarutobi Hiruzen paused and characterized Uchiha Ikeizumi's behavior: "Ikeizumi's behavior is indeed extreme. But, over the years, he has never done anything wrong in principle."
"...Yes, Hokage-sama."
The younger generation of the Sarutobi clan who failed to complain could only leave in frustration.
"Ikeizumi..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen walked to the bed and looked out the window.
"Do you love the Will of Fire more? Or what you call 'Absolute Justice'? I have always felt that you and Itachi are the same kind of people, both Uchiha who love the village very much!"
He murmured to himself.
...
At the same time.
In a remote private house in Konoha, Izumi panted slightly and loosened the body whose skin was worn out.
She wanted to leave the body of the short man there temporarily.
But without the order of the senior...
Izumi was worried that abandoning the prisoner's body without authorization would anger the senior?
So...
she could only say "sorry" in her heart, while biting the bullet and dragging the body to catch up with Uchiha Ikeizumi.
Until they arrived at the short man's house.
She didn't dare to look back to see what happened to the prisoner's body.
I think...
it's very horrible, right?
"Do you think he's miserable?" Uchiha Ikeizumi saw through the girl's thoughts at a glance. The small expression on Izumi's face could not hide her thoughts at all. He said, "There are people who are more miserable than him, and they are still in that well."
He looked at the dry well covered by cement slabs and said in a slightly lower tone, "Pull out the child's body from the dry well."
Izumi was shocked by Uchiha Ikeizumi's voice.
"Yes! Senior!"
She trotted over and suddenly smelled a pungent smell.
Is this... the stench of a corpse?
Izumi prepared herself mentally and carefully moved the cement slab away. The pungent smell was completely released, and she was so shocked that she subconsciously held her breath, but her eyes were still a little stinging.
She gritted her teeth.
She turned over and jumped.
When she was about to fall to the bottom of the well, Izumi immediately used the chakra tree-stepping technique to let her feet cling to the wall of the well, so as not to accidentally step on the body of the child in the dry well.
With the sunlight shining in, she saw a quilt at the bottom of the well. The quilt was wrapped into a ball, and there seemed to be something inside.
She had a vague guess in her heart.
Not long after.
Izumi walked out of the dry well with the quilt that exuded a strong stench, and tiptoed to put it gently on the ground.
"If you want to vomit, you can vomit it out. This is what it feels like when you first smell the stench of a corpse. Even some ninjas who kill without blinking an eye can't resist the physiological reaction of the body." Uchiha Ikeizumi glanced at the facial features on the girl's pretty face that were about to twist together.
Izumi shook her head with a pale face.
She couldn't explain it, but instinctively felt that she shouldn't do such an indecent behavior in front of such a poor child.
Even if...
the child has been killed.
Then, Izumi saw Uchiha Ikeizumi coming over. She watched the senior half squat down and open the quilt wrapped.
Izumi's pupils were trembling.
She turned her head quickly.
——She vomited.
Even though she didn't want to do it, she even felt the same sadness in her heart. But the physiological nausea made her unable to control it at all, and she vomited all the breakfast today.
"Look at her." Uchiha Ikeizumi said, "Don't look away."
Izumi wiped her mouth.
She turned around and looked at the small corpse with a trembling gaze.
Uchiha Ikeizumi half-squatted and said, "There are no less than a dozen marks of blunt force trauma on her body; her hands and feet have been fractured several times; many parts are bloody; there are traces of bleeding on her nose, ears, and corners of her mouth, and her internal organs are probably seriously damaged."
He stood up and continued, "The fatal injury is the mark of strangulation on her neck. This child died in great pain. Before she died, she experienced at least an hour of painful torture."
Izumi was shocked and murmured, "One hour... If this child had shouted for help within that hour, someone would have come to save her, right? There are also some neighbors nearby..."
Uchiha Ikeizumi simply said, "The person who hurt her was her biological father. Maybe to her, her father is the person she loves the most."
Izumi was stunned.
"Uchiha Izumi."
"Ah? Here!!!" Izumi hurriedly stood up and shouted.
Uchiha Ikeizumi stared into the girl's eyes and asked word by word, "Do you still think that man is miserable now?"
Izumi pursed her lips and lowered her head.
"Senior, I was wrong."
Uchiha Ikeizumi said, "What we, the Uchiha Police Force, have to do is to wipe out all this kind of 'evil'. We must use absolute and thorough means to enforce our 'justice' in order to overwhelm the morbid and unhealthy trends in the ninja world."
"Take the two bodies back to the police force. Your performance today was not satisfactory, but fortunately, it was not to the point where I wanted to kill you. Meet at Ichiraku Ramen tomorrow."
Izumi shuddered.
"Yes, senior."
