Ding! You successfully killed three Red Name evil people! Your Chakra received a minor boost! Congratulations, you successfully obtained: ① Wind Release Chakra Nature; ② Shadow Imitation Technique; ③ Water Colliding Wave Technique! Name: Uchiha Chisen Age: Eighteen Identity: Member of the Konoha Uchiha Military Police Force Strength: Jonin Kekkei Genkai: Sharingan, Lava Release, Transparent Release Taijutsu: Uchiha Style Kenjutsu, Shuriken Throwing Technique, Kunai Combat Technique... Ninjutsu: Great Fireball Technique, Great Fire Annihilation, Lava Style: Great Eruption, Lava Release Chakra Warrior Body, Shadow Imitation Technique... Other: Cooking, Calligraphy, Gambling, Bedchamber Arts... ...

The Wind Release Chakra Nature should have come from Danzo.

With Wind added in, Chisen now possessed all five most basic Chakra natures: Fire, Earth, Water, Wind, and Lightning.

Moreover, the Wind Release Chakra Nature he had taken from Danzo, who was most proficient in Wind Style, was clearly anything but ordinary.

It had instantly become one of Chisen's most outstanding Chakra natures.

It was now on par with his Fire and Earth Chakra natures.

It also meant that some Wind Style ninjutsu Chisen had acquired while carrying out justice in the past could finally be put to use.

As for the remaining Shadow Imitation Technique and Water Colliding Wave Technique...

They were merely bonuses.

Danzo was absolutely a treasure trove. Coupled with the deep crimson of his sins, Chisen began to stir again, unable to suppress the killing intent toward evil that welled up in his heart.

However.

When the Military Police Force headquarters came into view, Chisen could only reluctantly rein in his killing intent for the time being.

As long as Danzo remained in the Shinobi World,

Justice would not be absent.

"Lord Fugaku. The Gekko Clan matricide case has been resolved. Gekko Hayate, the sole direct descendant of the Gekko Clan, has stated that he accepts the Military Police Force's handling of the matter."

Inside the office, a Military Police Force member was reporting the situation to Uchiha Fugaku.

"Furthermore, Gekko Hayate has said that the Gekko Clan will not question the legitimacy of Uchiha Chisen's law enforcement actions. However, he asks that the Military Police Force not release the details of the case."

"He seems to want to leave his younger brother with a shred of dignity."

Hearing this, Fugaku let out a heavy breath.

"A murder case involving family ties truly weighs on the heart." Just as Fugaku was about to say more, someone lightly knocked on the office door from outside.

"Please..."

Before Fugaku could even say "come in," the door was pushed open from the outside. The instant it opened, he knew who it was without even looking.

After all, even some of the hawkish Uchiha within the clan at least put on a show of respect toward him, the clan head.

In the entire Uchiha Clan, the only one who dared show him, the clan head, such blatant disrespect was probably Uchiha Chisen.

And Chisen could not even be bothered to put on an act.

Sure enough.

When Fugaku glanced up, he saw Uchiha Chisen entering the office with his little follower, Izumi.

"Chisen, you..."

"...Hm!?"

Fugaku's attention was suddenly drawn to the blond brat Chisen was carrying in one hand. The more he looked, the more familiar the child seemed.

He looked closer.

A flash of astonishment crossed Fugaku's steady eyes.

He recognized him!

Chisen casually tossed Naruto aside. Naruto landed hard on his butt and cried out in pain.

But afraid that his cry would disturb Chisen, he hurriedly covered his mouth, trembling and not daring to make another sound.

"Chisen, this child..." Fugaku felt as though his head was about to explode, his scalp tingling.

He never could have imagined that Chisen would bring the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki to the Uchiha Military Police Force headquarters!

Fugaku forcibly swallowed the words "Nine-Tails Jinchuriki," which had nearly slipped out, and asked, "Why did you bring Uzumaki Naruto here?"

The usually composed head of the Uchiha Clan was speaking much faster than usual.

Fugaku admitted that he had been completely caught off guard.

The village had already suspected that the Uchiha Clan was connected to the Nine-Tails' Rampage all those years ago.

To dispel the village's suspicions toward the Uchiha, Fugaku had specifically ordered his clansmen to stay as far away from the Jinchuriki as possible.

He had especially warned his wife not to approach Uzumaki Naruto.

After all, his wife had been close friends with Naruto's mother.

He had worried that Mikoto might soften toward Naruto.

But who could have imagined...

After all those repeated warnings, he had overlooked Uchiha Chisen!

Or rather.

Uchiha Chisen simply did not care about the warnings of his clan head!

"He disturbed Konoha's order and interfered with another person's legitimate business. In my eyes, that means he committed a crime. Even under Konoha's lenient laws, several charges could be pinned on him. Bringing him here is simply part of my duty."

Chisen spoke in a calm tone.

Fugaku: "..."

You were being a little too dedicated to your duty, weren't you?!

"But Lord Hokage..."

Before Fugaku could finish, Chisen cut him off with practiced ease. "The Hokage knows, and Root knows too. When I arrested Uzumaki Naruto, Danzo brought Root Ninja to obstruct law enforcement. I killed two and a half of them."

Fugaku: "???"

Chisen continued, "Unfortunately, the Hokage soon arrived with Anbu and abused his authority to shield Shimura Danzō. He wanted to shield Uzumaki Naruto too, but after realizing that I might turn hostile, he temporarily gave up on protecting him."

Fugaku: "???"

Fugaku would swear that the amount of information in those few sentences from Chisen surpassed everything he had heard in an entire day.

He had never expected that Chisen, who had made such a huge mess yesterday by killing three Gekko Clan shinobi,

Would create an even greater disaster today!!!

He had arrested a Jinchuriki, killed Root Ninja, offended Danzo, confronted the Hokage, and even forced the Hokage to take a step back.

And...

If Fugaku had guessed correctly, Chisen had probably already prepared himself for an armed conflict with the Hokage.

He really dared to lay hands on the higher-ups!!!

He was even more extreme than the hawkish shinobi within the Uchiha Clan!

At the very least, those Hawks merely incited and pressured him, the clan head, into planning a coup. But Chisen had acted directly.

Fugaku remained unable to recover for a long time.

The way he looked at Uzumaki Naruto was no longer the way one looked at a hot potato, but at a glowing-red iron ingot!

And the way he looked at Chisen was as though he were looking at a madman.

In Fugaku's eyes at that moment...

Even the most unhinged Uchiha shinobi was not as insane as Uchiha Chisen.

So the question was:

Chisen had dared to arrest Uzumaki Naruto and bring him here.

But did Fugaku, the clan head, dare lock this child in Konoha Prison?

Fugaku fell silent.

He did not know how long he remained silent, nor what calculations he made in his mind before finally opening his mouth. "Chisen..."

"If you also intend to abuse your authority and shield Uzumaki Naruto under the pretext of obstructing justice, then I can only take him directly to Konoha Prison and lock him up myself."

Chisen was not surprised in the slightest as he interrupted Fugaku again. "If you truly do that, then in my eyes, you will be someone who condones evil. You will be my enemy as well."

Fugaku: "..."

Chisen had said everything already.

What else could he say?
