The wind nature chakra obviously "dropped" from Danzo.
Now that he has wind, Uchiha Chizumi possesses all five basic chakra natures—fire, earth, water, wind, lightning.
And because it was taken from Danzo, a master of Wind Release, this wind nature is anything but ordinary:
It has instantly become one of Chizumi's most dominant chakra types, on par with fire and earth.
That also means the Wind Release techniques he once confiscated "in the name of justice" can finally see some use.
As for the Shadow Imitation Technique and Wild Water Wave …
Those two are really just bonus add‑ons.
Danzo is truly a "treasure." Coupled with his crimson‑soaked crimes, Chizumi's urge to purge evil is flaring up again; he can barely restrain the killing intent in his heart.
Still—
When the Uchiha Police headquarters came into view, he forced himself to damp it down a notch.
As long as Danzo still walks the shinobi world, justice will not be absent.
…
"Fugaku-sama, the matricide case in the Gekko clan, is closed. Gekko Hayate, their sole direct heir, accepts the Police Force's ruling."
Inside the office, a police officer reported to Uchiha Fugaku.
"Hayate also asked that we keep the case details confidential—he wants to leave his brother a shred of dignity."
Fugaku let out a heavy breath.
"Murder within one's own family … it weighs on the heart."
Just then, a light knock came at the door.
"Please—"
He never finished the word "enter." The door swung open of its own accord. Fugaku didn't even need to look to know who it was.
Even the hawkish members of the Uchiha at least pretend to respect their clan head; only Uchiha Chizumi dispenses with appearances altogether.
Sure enough, when Fugaku glanced up, Chizumi strode in with his student Izumi.
"Chizumi, you—"
"—Hmm!?"
Fugaku's eyes locked on the blond kid Chizumi was dragging. The boy looked oddly familiar.
A closer look—
Fugaku's usually steady gaze flashed with shock. He recognized him!
Chizumi casually dropped Naruto, who landed on his backside with a yelp of pain, then clamped his mouth shut and trembled, afraid to make another sound.
"Chizumi, this child …" Fugaku's head felt ready to explode.
He never imagined Chizumi would bring the Nine‑Tails jinchūriki into Uchiha Police HQ!
Forcing the words "Nine‑Tails jinchūriki" back down, Fugaku asked, "Why did you bring Uzumaki Naruto here?"
Even this ever‑calm clan head was talking faster than usual.
The village already suspected the Uchiha in the Kyūbi incident. To allay suspicion, Fugaku had ordered the clan to steer clear of the jinchūriki—especially admonishing his wife, Mikoto, whose friendship with Naruto's mother might soften her heart.
But—after a thousand reminders—he'd forgotten one person: Uchiha Chizumi.
Or rather, Chizumi simply didn't care about the clan head's orders.
"He disrupted Konoha's order and interfered with merchants' business. In my eyes, that's a crime. Even under Konoha's lenient laws he'd rack up several charges. Bringing him in is just my duty," Chizumi said coolly.
Fugaku: "…"
You're taking 'duty' a bit too far …
"But—what about the Hokage—"
Chizumi cut him off with practiced ease. "The Hokage knows, and Root knows. When I arrested Naruto, Danzo brought Root shinobi to obstruct justice, so I killed two and a half of them."
Fugaku: "???"
Chizumi went on: "Not long after, the Hokage arrived with Anbu and shielded Shimura Danzo for political convenience. He tried to protect Naruto too, but when he sensed I might turn hostile, he backed off—for now."
Fugaku: "???"
Fugaku swore he hadn't taken in this much information all day.
Yesterday Chizumi killed three Gekko clan shinobi; today he's:
arrested the jinchūriki,
slain Root members,
offended Danzo,
confronted the Hokage,
even forced the Hokage to retreat a step.
And—if Fugaku guessed right—Chizumi already planned for an armed clash with the Hokage.
He really dares to lay hands on the top brass—
More extreme than the Uchiha hawks, who merely egged Fugaku on to plan a coup. Chizumi was already taking action.
Stunned, Fugaku now looked at Naruto not as a hot potato but a red blazing iron ingot—and at Chizumi like a madman.
In Fugaku's eyes, no Uchiha is crazier than Chizumi.
So the question:
If Chizumi dares arrest Naruto, does Fugaku dare lock him in Konoha Prison?
Silence.
After who‑knows‑how‑long, Fugaku finally spoke: "Chizumi—"
"If you too intend to abuse authority and shelter Uzumaki Naruto under the guise of obstructing justice, I will escort him to Konoha Prison myself and lock him up."
Chizumi, unsurprised, interrupted again: "If you do that, then to me you're enabling evil—and you become my enemy."
Fugaku: "…"
Chizumi had said it all.
What was left for him to say?
