Uchiha Chisen's voice boomed in Izumi's ears like thunder.
She took a deep breath of the increasingly strong smell of blood in the air.
As she slowly stood up, she could still hear the increasingly weak moans and groans of the short man at her feet.
"I've told you everything... save me... please save me... please, I don't want to die..."
Izumi pursed her lips.
For a genin who had graduated from the Ninja Academy less than a month ago, this kind of thing was too stimulating and shocking.
"Where do you live?" After learning that the other party was the beast who had killed his daughter, Izumi no longer felt any empathy for the short man. She first interrogated him about his address to find the child's body.
When she faintly heard him weakly report an address.
Izumi mustered her courage and turned to Uchiha Chisen, "Senpai, should we split up? I'll take him to the Konoha Hospital, and you'll go find the child's body?"
Uchiha Chisen said calmly, "Newcomer, do you know what punishment awaits someone who kills under the influence of alcohol in Konoha?"
Izumi was stunned: "Lif... life imprisonment?!"
Uchiha Chisen shook his head: "It's ten years imprisonment. After ten years, such a complete scoundrel will live under the sun again. In fact, if he behaves well in prison, he might be released in seven or eight years without even serving ten."
"I ask you. Is such a punishment equivalent retribution?"
Izumi meekly replied, "Ten years... that's a bit short, isn't it? No matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem like equivalent retribution, does it?"
The moral bottom line of the twelve-year-old Uchiha genin girl instinctively felt that the sentence was too short.
Was the cost of murder in Konoha so low?
Or...
Could killing while drunk be forgiven?
"If [Justice] is not executed absolutely, it will never be justice, and evil will never receive its due punishment," Uchiha Chisen said. "There's no need to split up, and no need to take him to the Konoha Hospital. Just take him to the address he just mentioned."
"Oh, right."
Uchiha Chisen took the ninja sword back from Izumi, sheathed the blood-stained sword, and added, "Remember to drag him. You drag this scum of the ninja world and follow me."
Izumi's small face was full of shock.
Senpai Chisen... among the Uchiha Clan, he is probably one of the most extreme clansmen.
She swallowed hard, her gaze involuntarily falling on the short man.
Drag him?
Hiss!
...
Izumi felt immense pressure.
Under the fearful or astonished gazes of civilians and ninjas, she gritted her teeth, grabbed the short man's collar with both hands, and strained to keep up with Uchiha Chisen.
The man's horrifying severed leg wounds scraped against the ground as he cried out in terror and struggled.
Izumi felt unbearable listening to him.
But when she looked at Senpai Uchiha Chisen's tall, straight back, and recalled her own hesitation during the interrogation, and the suffocating feeling of the Senpai's gaze gradually turning cold...
Izumi could only try to harden her heart.
She didn't dare to look back; she could only imagine if the man's scarlet blood was drawing a long, straight line on the street.
Izumi felt the man's struggles becoming weaker and weaker.
She felt the eyes of some Konoha civilians nearby looking at her as if she were an accomplice to a criminal, filled with fear.
She heard the cries growing fainter.
Until...
There was no sound at all.
Izumi was startled and quickly looked back, frightening her into saying to Uchiha Chisen, "Senpai Chisen, he's in shock!"
Uchiha Chisen paused his steps. Without looking back, he asked lightly, "Can you wake him up?"
"Let me see..."
Izumi carefully checked the short man's breathing. Her heart trembled, and she replied in a panic, "It seems... it's too late. He... he's dead!!!"
Uchiha Chisen said regretfully, "What a shame."
Izumi couldn't help but be stunned.
Then she heard the Senpai continue, "It's a pity he died too easily, not enough to atone for his sins. My original plan was for you to drag him to his home. After retrieving the child's body, I would have executed him in front of it."
"And," Uchiha Chisen glanced back, "I was planning for you, the newcomer, to get some practice."
Izumi was completely stunned.
"Se-Senpai..." Izumi said weakly, "I've read the Konoha Military Police Force's duty manual. It seems to mention that after apprehending a criminal, private torture is forbidden. This seems to be a regulation added by the Hokage in the manual for the Police Force."
Uchiha Chisen asked, "Newcomer, do you think the high and mighty Third Hokage represents [Justice]?"
Izumi dared not make a sound.
Uchiha Chisen gazed at the girl, who only had half Uchiha blood in her, and slowly said, "To be a good member of the Konoha Military Police Force, you first need to know who the enemies of [Justice] are. All the 'evil' in the ninja world are the enemies of [Justice]."
"The ninja world has already been eroded into a thousand holes by countless 'evils.' Only by carrying out [Justice] with absolute and thorough methods can we set the ninja world back on the right track."
Even... even Lord Hokage? Izumi only dared to process this thought in her mind, not daring to ask it aloud.
"Including the Hokage."
Only in the next second did Uchiha Chisen, as if possessing mind-reading abilities, utter this statement without reservation, unafraid of shocking her.
Izumi was stunned.
...
What Izumi didn't know was that the moment the short man died from shock due to excessive blood loss.
A prompt from his golden finger popped up before Uchiha Chisen's eyes.
[Ding! You have successfully killed a "Red Name" evildoer! Your Chakra has received a small boost! Congratulations, you have successfully dropped: Gambling Skill Experience Book x2]
[Name: Uchiha Chisen]
[Age: Eighteen years old]
[Identity: Member of Konoha's Uchiha Military Police Force]
[Strength: Jonin]
[Kekkei Genkai: Sharingan, Lava Release]
[Taijutsu: Uchiha-style Swordsmanship, Shurikenjutsu, Kunai Combat Techniques...]
[Ninjutsu: Great Fireball Technique, Phoenix Sage Fire Technique, Great Fire Annihilation, Mind Body Switch Technique...]
[Other: Cooking, Calligraphy, Gambling, Bedroom Arts...]
[...]
This was the golden finger Uchiha Chisen awakened the moment he transmigrated to Konoha.
He could see everyone's "evil," whether it was "evil" they had done in the past or "evil" they were about to do in the future, he could see it all clearly.
Those who had committed unforgivable evil had a crimson square box floating above their heads, known as a [Red Name].
Those who would commit unforgivable evil in the future had a white square box floating above their heads, known as a [White Name].
After killing them...
Besides gaining a certain boost to his internal Chakra, he could also seize any ninjutsu, taijutsu, Kekkei Genkai, secret techniques, skill experience, etc., from their bodies.
The golden finger's characteristics perfectly matched the [Absolute Justice] that Uchiha Chisen upheld.
In just a few short years, countless wicked individuals had met their end by his hand.
He had even dulled several ninja swords from his actions.
As for the "Lava Release" in the [Kekkei Genkai] section, it was a beginner's gift package that came with the golden finger's awakening.
The golden finger's description of the gift package was – greetings from a believer of [Absolute Justice] from the sea.
