Konoha: The Absolute Justice of the Uchiha.

Chapter 13: Uchiha Ikezumi! What are your intentions?!

Today, Naruto Uzumaki played another prank in the village, aiming to attract attention from others.

His prank succeeded, but it also successfully broke people's defenses.

As a result, Naruto was chased for several blocks.

Fortunately, he ran fast.

Naruto believed that if he ran two more blocks, he could leave behind the steamed bun shop owner who was getting weaker and weaker from paying his wife's dues every day.

however……

Just as he was secretly pleased, suddenly, his feet were stepping on nothingness.

Naruto felt as if someone had grabbed him by the back of his collar and lifted him up.

Oh no... this is terrible!

got caught!

The steamed bun shop owner rushed over, panting, and was about to express his gratitude when his gaze suddenly fell on Uchiha Ikezumi's young face, and he was so startled that he swallowed back the words of gratitude he was about to say.

"U...Uchiha..." The steamed bun shop owner was deathly pale, seemingly unaware that the rolling pin in his hand had fallen to the ground.

"Uchiha?"

Naruto, who had been lifted up, struggled for a moment, but found he couldn't break free. He looked up at the sky with a troubled expression.

Well……

I don't know him!

Naruto felt that this meddlesome guy seemed to have a cold expression, and he felt that when the other person was looking at him, it was as if he were looking at a rare animal.

"What did he do?" Uchiha Ikezumi asked the steamed bun shop owner.

"He...he..." The steamed bun shop owner was sweating profusely.

"Tell the truth," Uchiha Ikezumi reminded him.

"Gulp."

Under inexplicable, invisible pressure, the steamed bun shop owner swallowed hard and tremblingly revealed Naruto's prank for the day—he had replaced the wheat flour in his steamed bun shop with protein powder.

Naruto, who had been lifted up, muttered, "Protein powder can be used to make steamed buns, and it can even help you build muscle."

The steamed bun shop owner was so angry his blood pressure soared: "You brat..."

Upon seeing Uchiha Ikezumi standing before her, and noticing the man's seemingly emotionless gaze...

He hurriedly suppressed his anger and swallowed back the words he wanted to say.

That's terrifying! How could I be so unlucky as to run into the infamous jinx of the Uchiha clan?

It's all that little fox demon's fault!

"You played such a prank..." Uchiha Izumi nodded slightly and said calmly, "This brat's guardian is the Hokage. Go directly to the Hokage and ask for compensation. Just say that I sent you. If the Hokage won't give it to you, I'll go and ask for it for you."

After saying that, Uchiha Ikezumi picked up Naruto, who looked utterly dejected, and prepared to leave.

His move not only stunned the steamed bun shop owner, but also Naruto.

Naruto struggled frantically, flailing his arms and legs while shouting, "Where are you taking me? You've already captured me, can't you just put me down?"

Uchiha Izumi raised his arm, lifting Naruto more than a meter off the ground, and he and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki stared at each other silently.

The cold gaze startled Naruto, making his face stiffen.

Uchiha Ikezumi slowly said, "When people make mistakes, regardless of gender or age, they must be punished accordingly. Your prank caused economic losses to others and damage to the reputation of shops. In addition, the noise you made while running around seriously disrupted the order of Konoha and damaged the cleanliness of the streets."

"With multiple offenses combined, even if you're willing to pay compensation, you'll still have to spend half a month in Konoha Prison. And that's just judging you according to Konoha's laws. Since you're in my hands, let's turn that half month into three months."

Naruto, who was only seven years old, was completely dumbfounded.

"close……"

"He was imprisoned for three months..."

He was instantly stunned.

……

"Oh no! The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki has made contact with the Uchiha clan!" At the same time, the expression of an elite ANBU ninja responsible for monitoring Naruto changed drastically. He felt that he had made a huge mistake today.

As the monitor of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, the Hokage's task for him was not only to monitor Naruto, but also to "clean up Naruto's messes".

It's like no matter what pranks that Jinchūriki kid plays, you have to go to great lengths to clean up after him.

He just went specifically to get back the wheat flour that Naruto had pranked and switched at the steamed bun shop.

But I never expected that in just this short time away...

The Jinchuriki was captured by Uchiha clan ninjas!

He would never mistake the uniform of the Uchiha police force!

He clearly saw the Jinchuriki making eye contact with the Uchiha!

That's the Sharingan that's rumored to be able to control tailed beasts!

If... the Nine-Tails' attack from several years ago were to happen again, my negligence would definitely be the fuse that ignites the destruction of the village, and I would definitely be a sinner against Konoha.

Realizing the seriousness of the situation, the ANBU ninjas had no time to think further, and they didn't care about being exposed.

He rushed towards Naruto, shouting, "Put him down!"

Before many eyes, the ANBU ninja appeared in a flash, one hand already loosely gripping the hilt of his ninja sword, while the other reached out, trying to snatch Naruto Uzumaki away.

Uchiha Ike suddenly raised his arm to the side.

The ANBU ninja missed, and Naruto let out a cry of surprise, as the movement was so large that Naruto was almost thrown away.

"Anbu?!" Izumi recognized the Anbu ninja's attire at a glance; the fox mask was very distinctive.

She suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Uchiha! What are you doing?!" The ANBU ninja's expression behind his mask became incredibly complex after his hand grasped at empty air. He demanded, "Don't tell me you don't know what this brat represents! You... um? Uchiha Ikezumi?!"

When he faced his opponent directly, the ANBU ninja realized that the person who had grabbed the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was actually Uchiha Ikezumi!

He is one of the few Uchiha who had a relatively "good" relationship with the Hokage.

Well--

At least someone who frequently meets with the Hokage.

Uchiha Ikezumi glanced at the white squares above the ANBU ninja's heads, his eyes flashing with a chilling sharpness, and questioned, "Are you trying to obstruct law enforcement, Yamanaka Yoshinobu?"

Anbu ninja: "!!!"

"you……"

He was shocked.

He was wearing an Anbu mask and had never met Uchiha Izumi before, so why did the other party recognize him?

Noticing that Uchiha Ikezumi's eyes were gradually turning sharp and dangerous, the ANBU ninja hesitated before sheathing his ninja sword.

He had heard some information about Uchiha Ikezumi.

Know the bottom line of this [absolutely righteous] law enforcer.

To be on the safe side, it's best to avoid conflict with them.

"call!"

The ANBU ninja let out a breath, calming himself down slightly. He said in a deep voice, "Uchiha Ikezumi, law enforcement by the police force shouldn't have anything to do with Uzumaki Naruto, right? He's just an 'ordinary' kid, isn't he?"

He deliberately emphasized the word "ordinary".

Uchiha Ikezumi said, "He happens to be the criminal I caught."

Anbu ninja: "???"

Oops……

This is a tricky situation.

Just as the ANBU ninja was sweating profusely, racking their brains for a solution, a sudden, hoarse, angry shout came from afar: "You inherently evil Uchiha brat! What are you doing! What are you evil Uchiha clan members up to?!"

The ANBU ninja was stunned for a moment, completely baffled. Why was someone even more anxious than him?

When he looked in the direction of the sound, he saw a familiar figure.

That is……

Danzo Shimura? !
