Chapter 10: In the Name of [Absolute Justice]!
Gekko Hayate clearly remembered, two years ago... a genius from the Uchiha Clan named "Uchiha Chisen," clad in the attire of the Konoha Military Police Force, single-handedly infiltrated the Gekko Clan's compound.
He had declared, "The Military Police Force is investigating. All unauthorized personnel, retreat. Otherwise, you will be killed without mercy."
Gekko Hayate didn't know what had triggered the conflict at the time.
He only knew that he had personally witnessed his father being killed.
Two elder clan members, on his father's generation, were also killed.
That night...
The Gekko Clan's compound was filled with a pungent smell of sulfur, the ground flowed with scalding magma, and the walls of the buildings were covered in sword marks, embedded with kunai and shuriken.
Gekko Hayate further remembered that afterward, the entire Gekko Clan reported the Uchiha Clan to the Third Hokage.
They specifically demanded that the Hokage apprehend and imprison "Uchiha Chisen"!
They wanted to send that demon of the Uchiha Clan to the guillotine!
However...
For some unknown reason...
The matter was dropped.
Some elders of the Gekko Clan returned dejectedly from the Hokage's office and never mentioned the incident again.
They didn't even think about demanding an explanation from the Uchiha Clan.
They merely told the younger generation to engrave the hatred in their hearts.
Beyond that, they didn't have them do anything else.
And now.
That "Uchiha Chisen"...
Has returned!
"This is bad!!!"
Gekko Hayate snapped back to reality. He quickly drew his ninja sword, his movements towards his home showing a hint of panic.
But just as he reached the front gate of the Gekko Clan compound, a "boom" sound echoed in his ears.
In his sight—his younger brother, "Gekko Seisui," with a ferocious expression, used an Earth Style ninjutsu, attempting to kill a young boy and girl dressed as Konoha Military Police Force members from the Uchiha Clan.
He also saw his brother's figure holding a kunai instantly become transparent.
Gekko Hayate couldn't tell if his brother was using Transparent Release to attack the Military Police Force or if he was seizing the opportunity to escape...
"Seisui! Don't!!!"
He shouted in a hurry.
Because whether it was the former or the latter, he would be killed!
The only chance to survive Uchiha Chisen, that demon, was to immediately drop his weapon and surrender!
...
Inside the compound, Uchiha Chisen grabbed Izumi by her collar and threw her aside. He himself leaped lightly, dodging a flying boulder.
His eyes were already covered in a chilling, eerie crimson, the pattern of the Three-Tomoe Sharingan slowly appearing in his pupils.
His gaze suddenly flickered to the left. Although there was no figure there, the ground had become unusual.
"Transparent Release... Heh."
Uchiha Chisen took out several shuriken and instantly threw them in that direction.
The shuriken tore through the air with a sharp whistle, as if sinking into something invisible in the air.
"Ngh!!!"
A muffled groan also sounded, and blood spilled into the air.
"Seisui! Don't run!!!" Gekko Hayate shouted urgently while rushing towards the bloodstain in the air.
But Gekko Seisui, who had been hit by the shuriken despite using Transparent Release to conceal himself, became even more flustered upon seeing his elder brother appear.
He dodged Gekko Hayate.
Enduring the sharp pain in his back, he quickly fled in another direction.
But before he could even escape the Gekko Clan compound.
A sharp ninja sword... had already pierced through him from behind!
Gekko Seisui's bloodshot eyes widened in disbelief.
He opened his mouth, but the blade piercing his chest twisted, and it was slowly pulled out of his body.
Gekko Seisui staggered, unable to maintain his balance.
He hastily clutched his chest, blood instantly soaking his palm.
"Transparent Release" Kekkei Genkai couldn't be maintained.
His disheveled form was revealed.
"Seisui—!!!" His brother's desperate cry grew closer.
Uchiha Chisen's cold tone reached Gekko Seisui, who was fading in his final moments, a look of despair crossing his face: "Today, in the name of [Absolute Justice], I pass judgment upon you."
He clutched his chest, stumbling forward a few steps, struggling to turn around as his vision darkened: "Evid... evidence..."
"While the traces on the body were indeed handled by you, you couldn't handle the body's memories," Uchiha Chisen flicked the blood from his blade. "The Konoha Military Police Force will hand the body over to the Yamanaka Clan. You should be aware of the Yamanaka Clan's secret techniques."
"The evidence you seek, perhaps your clan members will burn it for you after you die. That is, if they forgive your 'filicidal sin'."
Gekko Seisui felt as if all his strength had been drained.
He collapsed powerlessly.
Just as he was about to hit the ground, Gekko Hayate finally arrived. He frantically caught his brother's body, while with his other hand, he pressed down hard on the gaping hole in his chest, trying to staunch the blood flow.
"Seisui! Hold on, I'll take you to a medical ninja!"
Snap—
Gekko Hayate froze.
Because Gekko Seisui in his arms had pushed his hand away.
"Cough, stop... being so fake..."
Gekko Seisui's lips were frighteningly pale, his voice weak and mocking. "If she hadn't doted on you so much, I wouldn't have... killed her. How ironic... The father you valued most died at Uchiha Chisen's hands; the mother you doted on most died by my hand... Heh heh..."
Under Gekko Hayate's disbelieving gaze, Gekko Seisui uttered his final words: "I was so jealous of you..."
The light faded from Gekko Seisui's eyes.
His gaze became vacant.
His breath ceased!
[Ding! You have successfully killed a "Red Name" villain! Your Chakra has gained a small increase! Congratulations, you have successfully dropped: "Transparent Release" Kekkei Genkai!]
Uchiha Chisen had killed three members of the Gekko Clan two years prior, but those three had dropped three ninjutsu for him, not the Gekko Clan's unique "Transparent Release" Kekkei Genkai.
Today.
After executing the sinful "Gekko Seisui," a Red Name, Uchiha Chisen added "Transparent Release" to his arsenal, following "Sharingan" and "Lava Release"!
"Senior Chisen..."
Izumi's incredulous voice came from behind Uchiha Chisen. "That body... is his mother?"
Clearly.
Izumi, who had just arrived, had heard everything Uchiha Chisen and Gekko Seisui had said.
It had caused a huge shock to her worldview, and she was in a daze.
"Mhm."
Uchiha Chisen replied.
Izumi's small face was filled with bewildered confusion as she murmured, "Just out of jealousy, he killed his own mother. This..."
"This is the 'evil' of the ninja world."
Uchiha Chisen gazed at the corpse, and at Gekko Hayate, who stood frozen as if his brain had crashed.
He slowly said, "Twisted thoughts, brutal wars... everything magnifies everyone's 'evil' infinitely. The power that ninjas possess makes them naively believe they can escape the judgment of justice."
"This ninja world is sick."
"It needs a cleansing!"
