Absolute Justice in Naruto

Chapter 14: Chapter 14: Eye to Eye with Danzo



After leaving the Hokage's office, Danzō was seething.

He was thoroughly dissatisfied with Hiruzen Sarutobi's indecisiveness.

In his eyes, every member of the Uchiha clan—aside from the late Uchiha Kagami—was evil.

Especially that Uchiha brat, Uchiha Chizumi, who flaunted his extreme personality and methods for all to see!

"Absolute justice," was it?

Clearly he was just killing under the banner of justice for his own amusement!

Only that unqualified Third Hokage, "Monkey," would consider Uchiha Chizumi's position worthy of trust.

While Danzō simmered with resentment, leading two Root bodyguards back to headquarters…

He witnessed a scene that nearly gave him a heart attack.

—Seven‑year‑old Nine‑Tails jinchūriki Uzumaki Naruto was being hoisted in one hand by Uchiha Chizumi!

The sight plunged Danzō into a flashback of the Nine‑Tails calamity.

The fox's devastation of Konoha was still vivid and unforgettable.

Danzō practically exploded on the spot.

Shouting from afar, "Inherently evil Uchiha brat!"

He charged toward Chizumi with his two Root guards.

In the blink of an eye, they surrounded Uchiha Chizumi, the Anbu ninja, Izumi, and Naruto in a triangular formation.

Danzō was so worked up he nearly ripped off the bandages that concealed the many Sharingan on his body.

He barely restrained himself, grinding his teeth.

"Uchiha Chizumi! Are you rebelling?!"

Danzō's eyes, cold and vicious, glared at Chizumi; even his breathing grew heavier.

He barked, "Abducting Uzumaki Naruto in broad daylight—so the Uchiha clan's ambition can no longer be hidden, huh?"

"I knew your clan harbored treachery toward Konoha. The tragedy years ago… must have been your clan's handiwork!"

The two masked Root guards drew their blades.

The tension made nearby passersby realize something was terribly wrong.

"Who are those masked men…?" Unlike the half‑public Anbu, almost no civilians knew of Root's existence.

"Hey, this looks bad!" someone gulped, backing away. "Are they going to fight? Should we alert the Police Force?"

"But isn't Uchiha Chizumi himself with the Police? Maybe we should tell the Hokage instead!"

"This really doesn't look good…"

"…"

Izumi also sensed danger. She didn't recognize the Root shinobi or Danzō Shimura, but she knew an Anbu mask when she saw one.

She noticed that from the moment the bandaged old man appeared—someone she'd never met—Chizumi‑senpai's gaze had locked onto him.

Perhaps it was just her imagination, but she felt killing intent radiating from his eyes.

It was no illusion.

In Chizumi's vision, a red box hovered over Danzō's head—larger than anyone else's.

Inside, dense text listed crime after crime; the hue was so crimson it was nearly violet, symbolizing pure evil.

Six years ago, Chizumi had seen Danzō from afar and had already felt the urge to strike.

Back then he was just a chūnin; Danzō's sins lay far beyond what he could purge.

But now…

The urge resurfaced. Narrowing his eyes, Chizumi ignored Danzō's accusations and said, "This brat broke the law, so I arrested him. Is Root trying to obstruct a police operation? Anyone who hinders law enforcement will be eliminated."

The Anbu assigned to watch Naruto sensed things were going south.

Without batting an eye, he summoned a messenger pigeon and sent it to inform the Hokage.

Naruto, overwhelmed by the perilous atmosphere, dared not speak.

He realized he'd caused big trouble today.

Murderous intent gleamed in Danzō's sinister eyes as well. "Uchiha Chizumi, you're no ordinary evil Uchiha anymore! Today I will personally remove this threat to Konoha!"

Click—

Chizumi's ninja blade slid more than an inch from its sheath.

A leaf twirled past on a light breeze—

—and the two Root shinobi behind Chizumi struck first!

One lunged, blade tip aimed at Chizumi's back.

The other slashed for Chizumi's left arm, hoping to seize the jinchūriki.

Danzō himself closed the gap in a blur.

At some point, his bandaged hand had drawn a kunai—

—it shot straight for Chizumi's abdomen.

In that near‑simultaneous instant, Chizumi's eyes blazed red.

Three‑tomoe Sharingan filled his pupils.

His left arm snapped back, forcing the Root ninja trying to sever it to pull his blade away—pressing on would slice the Nine‑Tails host instead.

The inch‑drawn sword flashed fully free and clashed with Danzō's kunai.

Using that impact, Chizumi released his sword and formed a rapid one‑handed seal.

"Lava Release…"

A torrent of crimson chakra erupted, his skin transforming into visible molten magma. Even his Police Force uniform shifted, appearing as flowing lava.

The searing heat ignited Naruto's collar; the child fell with a thud, the few centimeters of distance still burning the back of his neck.

Naruto clutched his neck, screaming in pain.

The blade aimed at Chizumi's back touched his skin—

—and melted instantly!

"Th‑this is…" Danzō's pupils contracted. The fury clouding his mind cleared in a flash as he remembered Chizumi's rarity: "Lava Release Kekkei Genkai!!!"

This inherently evil Uchiha brat was one of the few ninja in the entire world with dual bloodline limits!

Danzō had only heard of Chizumi's dual kekkei genkai—he'd never seen Lava Release in action.

The heat was more terrifying than most Fire‑l Style jutsu!

Under no circumstances could he let that brat touch him; such heat would vaporize flesh—that was an instinct born of Danzō's years of battle experience.

As that thought finished—

Chizumi's magma‑formed arm thrust forward like a red‑hot spear, ramming straight for Danzō's head!
