A typical murderer takes inflicting pain and depriving life as his ultimate pleasure. There is no understandable "helplessness", "tragic past" or "twisted justice" behind his actions.
It is purely a "bloodthirsty instinct" stemming from distorted beliefs and abnormal psychology. Hidan is such a clearly defined and typical example of "pure evil".
Shisui Uchiha has already made up his mind on how to deal with him.
However, the specific "clearance" plan can be done later. He needs to use this [Mirror of Karmic Reflection and Judgment Karma] to complete the evaluation of other prisoners first.
He signaled the guard to lower the heavy door of Hidan cell again to isolate the chatter and curses inside. Then, holding the mirror, he walked to the adjacent cell.
The second cell contained the former "Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist", Raiga Kurosuki and Juzo Biwa. Unlike the cell of Hidan, which was filled with a crazy atmosphere, the atmosphere here was more depressing and anxious.
Although the two were also restrained by special shackles, which limited their mobility and chakra, their condition was obviously much "normal" than that of Hidan. Their original weapons, Thunder Knife Fang and Executioner's Blade, had long been confiscated by the [Jhin] organization. Thunder Knife Fang was properly sealed in the base's warehouse.
Executioner's Blade was unceremoniously taken away by Zabuza Momochi in the name of "trophy".
When Shisui and Deidara walked in, Raiga Kurosuki immediately raised his head and spoke first with a hoarse voice. "Hey! How are you...Ranmaru?! That guy Pain, take good care of him as promised!"
What he misses is the young boy Ranmaru who depends on him for life and has a special Red Eye.
Juzo Biwa next to him looked even more impatient, "How long do we have to wait here? Compared to dying on the battlefield, being locked up in a dark place and rotting away... is really an unacceptable ending."
Shisui did not respond to any of their questions or complaints. His task was to evaluate, and he calmly stood the [Mirror of Karmic Reflection and Judgment Karma] at a sufficiently close distance in front of the two of them.
After a while, the faint blue text first appeared for Juzo Biwa.
[The person being judged: Juzo Biwa]
Direct war/non-mission killing: None
Total Pain (Including Part): Low
Sin Index: 0.3
Judgment:
The trajectory of his life is like the pale moonlight reflected by the blade - cold and indirect, the blade is always stained with blood, but it does not originate from the blade's own desire for heat.
The existing judgment rules are somewhat lenient to you, not because your hands are innocent, but because you have compressed your 'self' will and moral judgment to near annihilation, and are willing to become a 'weapon' that is completely at the mercy of the wielder.
Your evil deeds are often given the name of 'mission', 'order' or 'employment'. The person wielding you is guilty, and you... as a 'knife' that is so competent that you forget yourself and refuse to be stained with blood, the rules regard you as a tool. And the tool itself... does not bear the responsibility of the user."
Shisui looked at the words on the mirror and couldn't help complaining in his heart. What the mirror said... is a bit shameful...
If Hidan is a "pure active evil" driven by personal twisted pleasure, then Juzo Biwa is a typical "instrumental subordinate evil" that gives absolute priority to tasks and orders.
He is like a sharp but meaningless knife. Whoever holds it in his hand will be stained with blood.
His "crime" does not lie in having a strong desire to do evil, but in that he completely gave up the right to make independent moral judgments on his own behavior and transformed himself into an efficient killing tool.
His Sin Index is low not because he is innocent, but because the rules judge him as a "tool that does not bear responsibility".
This kind of analysis reveals the reality of the Ninja world. The essence of many Ninja whose hands are stained with blood may be just such a "tool".
They carried out orders, completed tasks, professionalized killing, and in the process intentionally or unintentionally blurred or abandoned their personal conscience.
This is cruel, but this is the "reality" faced by countless Ninja.
Shisui walked out of the prison area alone, and Deidara disappeared. Rather than watching these "boring" trial processes, he would rather devote his time to the research and development and explosion experiments of his eternal theme "art".
Based on the detailed "crime report" and assessment provided by the mirror, Shisui has made a clear decision in his mind on how to deal with these prisoners. The result... is depressing.
There is only one member who can be allowed to be released - Juzo Biwa.
He is the only person whose killing behavior is strictly limited to the framework of "mission execution".
The mirror's recollection shows that he has never harmed "innocent people" other than the mission target out of personal venting of anger, fun, or loss of control.
Like an overly competent knife, he only cuts at the prey marked by the leader. Of course, Shisui knows that it is basically impossible for Zabuza Momochi to spit out the Executioner's Blade that he has already obtained.
As for the other Kirigakure Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, Raiga Kurosuki, his situation is much worse. He is addicted to holding gorgeous and twisted "funerals" for his enemies, ritualizing and aestheticizing the killing, and extracting morbid pleasure from it.
Driven by this mentality, his blade was no longer limited to the mission target, but was inevitably stained with the blood of many "innocent people" who did not need to die and had nothing to do with the mission.
His "Sin Index" far exceeds that of Juzo, and his behavior has slipped from "instrumental killing" to "indiscriminate killing with additional pleasure". Therefore, he is not on the release list.
As for the Hiruko who was sealed into Totsuka Blade in the previous battle... let him "stay" in the eternal sea of Genjutsu wine.
And the "unexpected harvest" brought back by Deidara - the wandering old doctor, his true face is even more invisible in front of the mirror.
[The person being judged: Shinnō]
Identity confirmation: On the surface, he is a wandering doctor who travels around Ninja World and saves lives; in fact, he is the leader of the Sky Ninja Village revival plan, the controller and researcher of Zero-Tails, and is proficient in taboo Body Revival Technique and dark Medical Ninjutsu.
Direct war/non-mission killing: human experimentation, long-term emotional manipulation and mental torture, planning and implementation of terrorist attacks against civilian areas (Ancor Vantian Fortress attacks) - these types of behaviors fall into this category.
Total pain value (including part): High (with multiple superimposed effects such as long-term, large-scale, and deep mental destruction)
Sin Index: 8.5
Verdict: You wear the pure white clothes of a doctor, but inside you hide greedy ambition and empty hatred that spans decades. The so-called "revival" is just a fig leaf for your insatiable desire to use other people's lives and souls as fuel to ignite your own ambitions.
The 'Zero-Tails' that you are pursuing and controlling is the concrete reflection of the unfillable emptiness and distorted delusions in your heart - the more fanatically you pursue 'resurrection' and 'power', the more you reveal that you have become the most miserable living sacrifice on the altar of hatred.
There is no forgiveness for you under the existing judgment rules. The attack you planned and launched was not a "war" between two countries, but a "terror" against civilians and order. The human experiment you conducted was not a "mission" of any official or organization, but an "atrocity" to satisfy your own selfish desires and ambitions.
You have carried out long-term emotional manipulation and deception on the people around you. Your most serious crime is to allow an orphan girl who has lost everything and longs for warmth to burn herself in the cage of false love you carefully weaved, and become lamp oil on the altar of your ambition.
After working on it for a long time... Shisui gently rubbed his eyebrows, and the only guy who could barely be called a 'bad guy' was actually Juzo Biwa.
After dealing with these unpleasant matters, Shisui needed a moment of tranquility to calm down. He walked deeper into the base along another more secret passage.
In front of a cell door, he stopped. He took out another unique key from his arms, inserted it into the keyhole, and turned it gently.
"You, I'm coming in."
He whispered, knocking on the door with his knuckles, and then pushed the door open and entered.
This is a prison cell in name, but in fact, it is a room like "home".
Although the room is not very spacious, it is equipped with simple and comfortable furniture, a bed, a desk, a bookshelf with Braille, a few pots of green plants, and a small cooking table. The air is filled with a light, reassuring scent of soap locust.
Uchiha Yū, now a fully grown woman in her twenties, is lying quietly on the bed and falling into a deep sleep.
Her long black hair was spread out on the plain pillow, her face was peaceful, and her chest rose and fell gently with her even breathing.
Shisui walked to the bed and sat down. Only at this moment did he really allow himself to relax and let out a long breath.
He looked at Yu Yu's sleeping side face and her cheeks that were slightly flushed with health due to her peaceful sleep. The lines on her face that had always been cold and serious softened unconsciously.
However, in this tranquility, a trace of doubt quietly emerged in my mind.
Recently... is there something wrong with Yuzu's body?
Shisui frowned slightly and carefully traced Yuzu's sleeping face. He noticed that recently, Yuzu's deep sleepiness seemed to occur more and more frequently during the day.
Her schedule has always been regular, but in the past month, he has come over several times during the day like now and found her sleeping, and after waking up, she always had a lingering and deep feeling of exhaustion.
