Chapter 228 Execution!
If we ignore the cruelty of the "Blood Mist" policy, it's easy to see from the proportion of Kirigakure Jonin that the success rate of Kirigakure ninjas is significantly higher than that of Konoha.
It's no wonder that so many Kirigakure ninja chose to support the "Blood Mist" policy. After all, the Kirigakure people aren't stupid. If the "Blood Mist" policy were truly harmful in every way, they wouldn't have gone to such lengths to harm themselves.
However, overall, the "Blood Mist" policy was more harmful than beneficial. The Hidden Mist Village, after several generations of hardship, transformed itself from one of the Five Great Nations, on par with Konoha, into its current weak state.
Even more critically, due to the "Blood Mist" policy, the Hidden Mist ninjas could not confide in their comrades who might betray them at any time, further exacerbating the divisions within the Hidden Mist Village.
"Only 30%—" Uchiha Ikezumi raised an eyebrow, a rare occurrence, revealing a slightly surprised expression. "It's not hopeless yet."
"Lord Ikezumi, what are you saying?" The giant slug closest to Uchiha Ikezumi lowered its body, waving its tentacles and asking with some curiosity.
"I'm calculating how many sinners still need to be eliminated." Uchiha Izumi regained his composure, gently stroking the hilt of his sword with his right hand. "The situation is much better than I expected. Of the remaining Kirigakure ninja, only about 30% need to be executed immediately; the rest still have a chance to atone for their sins."
In Uchiha Ikezumi's eyes, the Kirigakure ninjas walking towards him looked like a bunch of constantly shaking red and white squares. Fortunately, this time, the proportion of white squares was significantly higher than that of red ones.
Moreover, most of the red boxes were quite self-aware and actively gathered together, which made it easier for Uchiha Ikezumi to screen them.
"But aren't they here to help you implement [absolute justice]?" The slug hesitated. If they were pure sinners, they should indeed be executed immediately, but if they were sinners who helped promote [absolute justice], it hesitated. Perhaps those sinners who repented should also be given a chance to atone for their sins?
At least let them help advance the development of [absolute justice] first, and then decide whether to execute them directly based on their contributions.
"Justice cannot be compromised! The involvement of sinners will only tarnish [absolute justice]!" Uchiha Ikezumi declared resolutely. "Rather than hoping that these sinners will help advance justice, it would be more beneficial to [absolute justice] to send them directly to meet the victims!"
"I see, I understand!" The slug suddenly realized, and happily shook its antennae. The three large slugs around it that hadn't heard the conversation quickly came over to ask their other selves what had happened.
The slug that had been talking to Uchiha Ikezumi naturally didn't keep anything from itself. It also waved its antennae to convey the conversation to the other three of itself, and then the four large slugs happily swayed their bodies together.
For the slug immortal who has lived for thousands of years, the most gratifying thing has never been how much stronger it has become, but rather that it has come to understand more principles and have a better understanding of the human race.
That's why it's so optimistic about Uchiha Ikezumi right now, and sincerely hopes that Uchiha Ikezumi's "absolute justice" can be promoted throughout the ninja world.
The unusual movement of the four giant slugs immediately startled the Kirigakure ninjas who were walking towards Uchiha Ikezumi. Upon seeing these four enormous creatures, the Kirigakure ninjas involuntarily widened their eyes.
"Six-Tails!? No! They're just four really big slugs—" Kukuri almost wet his pants from being scared by the "four six-tailed creatures." Fortunately, the difference between slugs and six-tailed creatures is quite obvious. It's just that since they are both mollusks, and their body size and color are similar, it's easy for Kirigakure ninjas who have never seen a six-tailed creature in person to mistake them.
Kukurin, who had been quite frightened, finally calmed down and then his attention fell on Uchiha Ikezumi, who was "tiny in size" but whose presence was no less than that of a behemoth like a slug.
Perhaps it was because he had killed too many people tonight, or perhaps it was because of the shadow of a famous person, but even from a distance of hundreds of meters, Kukulin could still feel the oppressive feeling that came down like a mountain.
"—The Lava Release Beast—" As the oppressive feeling grew heavier, Kukuri's expression became increasingly grim. On their way here, information about Uchiha Izumi had been exchanged countless times among these Hidden Mist ninjas, but the Uchiha Izumi of the Ninja War era was incomparable to the Uchiha Izumi of today. "This monster is more than just a ferocious beast!"
After finally following Mei Terumi to Uchiha Ikezumi, Kukurin's heart rate was more than twice as fast as normal, a sign that his body was facing danger. Fortunately, many of his colleagues had already embarrassed themselves by starting to gasp for breath, so Kukurin's performance was relatively good in comparison.
"Lord Ikezumi, the only surviving ninjas in the village are all here. I have convinced them, and everyone here is willing to fight to the end for [Absolute Justice]!" Mei Terumi still held onto a last glimmer of hope, emphasizing that everyone was willing to fight for [Absolute Justice], hoping that Uchiha Ikezumi would give these sinners a chance to atone for their sins, considering that they had at least put in the effort, even if they hadn't achieved anything.
In any case, the only ones who can see the crimes are Uchiha Izumi and that Uchiha girl. As long as they don't say anything, no one will know that these people are damned criminals.
Of course, Mei Terumi didn't expect Izumi Uchiha to turn a blind eye to evil, but at least she was given some buffer time. Even if these people were executed later, the pressure could be spread out over different time periods.
"I understand—" Uchiha Izumi nodded to Terumi Mei. Compared to those red and black squares, Terumi Mei's white squares looked much more pleasing to the eye. But then he looked at a middle-aged ninja standing next to Terumi Mei. "Fuwa Black Wolf, eighteen years ago, he poisoned his comrade to death over a trivial matter. Fifteen years ago, for a famous sword, he killed seventeen members of the Hakusan family at Sakura Ferry. Fourteen years ago—half a month ago, he tested the sword on an innocent child who was passing by. Five days ago, he raped and murdered the sisters who ran the flower shop."
It took Uchiha Ikezumi more than four minutes to finish reciting the crimes of this Hidden Mist ninja. And that was only because he only mentioned the most serious crimes that would warrant a death sentence; otherwise, it might have taken more than ten minutes to finish reciting them all.
From the moment he was called out by Uchiha Ikezumi, Fuwa Black Wolf instinctively wanted to run away, but he was firmly controlled in place by Uchiha Ikezumi's Sharingan genjutsu and could only listen to Uchiha Ikezumi's judgment on him in a state of great fear!
From over a decade ago to just a few days ago, every single serious crime he committed was clearly recounted by Uchiha Ikezumi.
It was as if the god of justice was making a judgment; at least, only Buwa Black Wolf himself knew the cause of death of the Bai Shan family.
