Chapter 9: Sin Level: Red Name!
More than an hour later, Izumi realized that what Izumi-senpai meant by "taking a stroll" really was just "wandering around" in Konoha.
She didn't see her seniors demonstrate that kind of professional crime-solving skill.
I didn't see any senior colleagues looking for evidence or clues in the case.
She felt as if she had already toured the entire Hidden Leaf Village with her senior, even visiting the Uchiha clan's residence and lingering inside the Hokage Building.
Izumi was completely bewildered and blank the whole time, not understanding what his senior was doing or what he should do.
Just as Quan was about to speak but stopped...
She noticed that her senior had stopped.
at last!
I'm no longer wandering aimlessly!
Quan almost burst into tears.
"Senior, where is this...?" However, she quickly realized something was amiss. Curious, Izumi looked ahead and discovered that this was the residence of the Konoha "Moonlight Clan."
Konoha has many ninja clans of varying sizes, with the Uchiha clan being one of the top ninja clans in Konoha.
The Moonlight Clan before us is a small ninja clan in Konoha.
There are more than a dozen ninjas who have inherited the "Transparent Release" bloodline limit.
"This is the last place we haven't visited yet, and it's openly visible," Uchiha Ikezumi said calmly. "If the murderer isn't here, it can only be one of those two places."
"What do you mean by those two places?" Izumi was curious about how Senior Izumi had identified the murderer by simply wandering around, and even more curious about what those two places were.
"The shadows, the roots."
Uchiha Izumi's concise answer left Izumi speechless.
"Huh? Uchiha Ikezumi! You cold-blooded creature who kills without blinking an eye, how dare you show up here!?" Just as Uchiha Ikezumi was about to step into the Moonlight Clan's residence, a sudden shout came from the side.
I turned my head and looked.
Then, two Moonlight Clan ninjas wearing Konoha headbands and Chunin vests rushed over.
They quickly blocked Uchiha Ikezumi's path, their eyes glaring at him with hatred.
Izumi noticed the atmosphere was getting tense: "Senior, are they... with you...?"
The question hadn't even been asked yet.
A Moonlight Clan ninja shouted, "Uchiha Ikezumi! You'd better get out of here. We, the Moonlight Clan, don't welcome you!"
Uchiha Izumi's right hand rested on the hilt of his ninja sword the entire time.
His indifferent gaze swept over the two men, and he said, "Police are investigating a case. Unauthorized personnel must immediately step aside. Otherwise, it constitutes obstruction of law enforcement. Anyone who obstructs law enforcement will be killed without exception."
Uchiha Izumi's tone was also calm, but the sudden rise of a terrifying and murderous aura made Izumi's hair stand on end.
She noticed that Senior Ikezumi's thumb was already pressing against the hilt of the ninja sword!
One centimeter of the bright silver blade was already visible!
The two Moonlight Clan ninjas also felt immense pressure. The cold sweat pouring from their foreheads and their involuntarily clenched fists told others just how nervous they were.
but……
This situation did not deter them; on the contrary, it intensified the hatred in their eyes.
"Two years ago...it was the same!" A Moonlight Clan ninja, enduring the pressure, gritted his teeth and glared angrily, "You bastard, you also said you were investigating a case. You brazenly stormed into the Moonlight Clan's territory...and killed our then-head of the clan, Lord Moonlight Yuichiro! You even killed two of our uncles and elders!"
Quan's bright, watery eyes gradually widened.
This……
So it turns out that Senior Chiquan and the Moonlight Clan had such a past!
Wow! That must be a blood feud, right?
"Uchiha Ikezumi, you..."
"I have no recollection of it." Uchiha Izumi slowly drew his ninja sword from his waist, and while walking forward leisurely, he said coldly, "I never deliberately keep track of who I have killed, and those who obstruct [justice] do not deserve to remain in my memory."
His gaze passed through the gap between the two Moonlight Clan ninjas and landed on a figure in the Moonlight Clan's encampment ahead.
[Moonlight Makoto—Last night, dissatisfied with his mother's excessive favoritism towards his older brother, Moonlight Hayate, he argued with her. In a fit of rage, he murdered his mother with a blunt instrument and secretly disposed of the body in the early hours of the morning. Sin Level: Red Name!]
The scarlet square was extremely eye-catching in Uchiha Ikezumi's eyes.
This is also one of the reasons he drew his sword.
"Three seconds. If you don't get out of the way, you're dead." Uchiha Izumi didn't stop: "Three, two..."
"Damn it! You arrogant bastard! Do you really think we Moonlight Clan would..."
Uchiha Izumi has already surpassed two Moonlight Clan ninjas.
He gently flicked the blood off his ninja sword.
"one."
A pair of calm, expressionless eyes, like those of a judge from hell, stared at the terrified Moonlight Serenity not far ahead.
At the same time, a series of synchronized thuds came from behind him as he fell to the ground.
"Newcomer, this is the second lesson you need to learn." Uchiha Izumi stepped into the Moonlight Clan's compound and coldly said to Izumi behind him, who was completely dumbfounded, "Anyone who obstructs the execution of justice is a lackey of 'evil,' an enemy of justice. If warnings are ineffective... kill without mercy."
Quan stared blankly at the two decapitated corpses on the ground, their bodies splattered with blood.
The splattered crimson blood even splashed onto her feet.
Quan's pupils were trembling slightly.
When she stiffly raised her head, she saw that Senior Chiquan was already holding a bloodstained ninja sword, gently shaking off the blood on the blade as she walked towards a young man from the Moonlight Clan.
Quan didn't know what she was thinking.
As if possessed, she stepped onto the wet ground, stepping over a pool of blood and leaving a long trail of bloody footprints, and followed Uchiha Ikezumi into the Moonlight Clan's territory.
A voice kept warning Izumi in her mind—once she went in, there would be no turning back. You can't accept Uchiha Izumi's absolute sense of justice.
But... she still followed closely in the footsteps of that senior, Chi Quan.
He then took out a kunai.
He held it tightly in his hand.
……
"Phew, I finally managed to get half a day off from the Hokage. I haven't seen my mother for half a month, so I'll take this opportunity to pay respects to my father with her and Seimizu."
Hayate Gekko is a member of the Anbu directly under the Third Hokage.
Carrying the offerings he had just bought, he headed towards the Moonlight Clan's residence.
however.
When he arrived at the family's residence, Moonlight Gale froze, and the offerings in his hands fell to the ground.
In sight—
Many Konoha villagers were gathered around the gate of the Moon Clan's compound, trying to peek inside. But they seemed hesitant, afraid to approach, and could only observe from afar.
Two headless corpses stood out prominently in front of the garrison gate, with two heads lying on the ground next to them.
The skull's face still bore a bewildered expression.
By the time of Moonlight Gale, he vaguely heard some villagers talking about something called "Uchiha" and something called "police force"...
Moreover, he heard a name that made his pupils shrink.
— "Uchiha Ikezumi"!!!
This is his...
My father's killer!
