Naruto: Uchiha's Absolute Justice

Chapter 50: Uchiha Itachi, Count Your Future Evils

Just as Izumi's face was contorted in bewilderment, she suddenly heard Senior Ikeizumi's voice. But Senior Ikeizumi seemed not to be speaking to her, but to Itachi-kun.

"I see one of the biggest 'evils' in the ninja world in you. I saw it before, and I still see it now. No matter what ripples I, this butterfly, stir up in Konoha, the 'evil' within you seems unchanged."

Uchiha Ikeizumi's tone was even more indifferent than Uchiha Itachi's.

He quietly gazed at the prompt floating above Uchiha Itachi's head.

His eyes could clearly see the dense, tiny characters.

One shocking future crime after another, all composed of white text, each character as small as a mosquito, crammed together to form a chaotic yet magnificent spectacle.

This…

Would be the ultimate evil crime Uchiha Itachi would commit during the Uchiha Clan Massacre a year from now!

The victims included elders, women, children, and infants.

Regardless of gender, age, or whether they were ninja or civilians.

Everything imaginable!

Uchiha Itachi's brows furrowed slightly. "Those 'evils' within me?" He somewhat failed to grasp the meaning of Uchiha Ikeizumi's words, as he genuinely believed himself to be untainted by "evil."

At this moment.

Izumi, who had vaguely walked in, suddenly remembered something. Her pupils trembled, and she said in immense shock, "Senior, your eyes… could it be that you saw the 'evil' within Itachi-kun?!"

Eyes!?

Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Fugaku, father and son, immediately caught the most crucial keyword.

They suddenly realized that Uchiha Ikeizumi's statement of "seeing evil" seemed not to be an abstract expression.

It was very likely a literal seeing!

Izumi must know some secrets about Uchiha Ikeizumi that they didn't.

This secret was highly likely related to the Sharingan!

"Indeed, I saw it," Uchiha Ikeizumi said. "Uchiha Itachi, the 'evil' within you constantly stirs the murderous intent in my heart. But my rationality tells me that your 'evil' is neither happening in the present nor in the past."

Uchiha Itachi's eyes subtly shifted.

Fugaku connected some dots.

"Ikeizumi, what did you see in Itachi?" Fugaku met Uchiha Ikeizumi's gaze. Though he tried desperately to suppress his emotional fluctuations, the concern in his voice couldn't be hidden.

He asked, "Your eyes… can they see things we cannot? Is this a power unique to Ikeizumi? Have you perhaps awakened the legendary power?"

Uchiha Ikeizumi stood up. After taking a few steps forward, he stood about a meter away from Uchiha Itachi. One was eighteen, the other twelve, with a height difference of several tens of centimeters.

Itachi's foot unconsciously shifted back an inch, and chakra involuntarily began to gather in his eyes.

Simply because the distance between them was too close!

This distance was so close that if the other party were to attack him, even if his eyes and brain reacted in time, his body would definitely find it difficult to dodge!

However.

Uchiha Itachi found that Uchiha Ikeizumi merely read out some content he had seemingly observed from somewhere, prefacing it with a brief introduction: "Uchiha Itachi, let's enumerate your future 'evils.'"

For some reason, Uchiha Itachi suddenly felt a strange nervousness.

He felt as if he had been completely seen through by Uchiha Ikeizumi.

As if he harbored no secrets whatsoever.

"One year later, on a certain night, Uchiha Hazuki will die from a ninja blade piercing her heart. The perpetrator—Uchiha Itachi."

Uchiha Ikeizumi read in a chilling tone.

Itachi, Fugaku, Izumi.

All three were stunned.

"Uchiha Hazuki, isn't that…"

Especially Izumi, she almost instinctively fixed her horrified gaze on Itachi, feeling her breath nearly stop: "Isn't that… my mother…?"

"One year later? Ikeizumi, could it be that you…" Fugaku's focus, on the other hand, was on that terrifying ability that seemed to pierce through the future.

If this was related to Uchiha Ikeizumi's eyes, this had to be the power of the Mangekyo Sharingan!

Fugaku suddenly connected some past events. He seemed to understand why Ikeizumi could always see what evil deeds a person had committed, and finally understood why Ikeizumi's case-solving rate had always remained at one hundred percent, never wrongly accusing anyone.

This must be some astonishing Mangekyo doujutsu!

Itachi, meanwhile, stood frozen: "Me, future evil?"

Uchiha Ikeizumi paid no heed to their varying reactions, merely calmly reading out the content he wished to reveal.

"In the same year, on the same night, Uchiha Keishi will die from a ninja blade severing his head. The perpetrator—Uchiha Itachi."

Fugaku's eyes widened sharply.

Uchiha Keishi… that was a childhood friend of his. He currently owned a ramen shop in the Uchiha compound.

"In the same year, on the same night, Uchiha Izumi will be killed in a Sharingan genjutsu. The perpetrator—Uchiha Itachi."

Instantly.

Fugaku fixed his gaze on Izumi, who had long since been stunned.

Izumi mechanically shifted her trembling gaze to Itachi.

Uchiha Itachi also instinctively turned to look at Izumi.

"Ikeizumi, you…" Fugaku had too many confusions and too many questions in his heart, and his face couldn't hide his shock.

But his words were cut short by Uchiha Ikeizumi's next sentence, leaving him speechless and dumbfounded.

"In the same year, on the same night, Uchiha Mikoto will die in her home's living room."

At this moment, Fugaku's fists instantly clenched, his pupils trembling slightly, and his breathing rhythm suddenly became chaotic.

Even Uchiha Itachi, who had been caught in boundless astonishment, suddenly looked up sharply.

"The perpetrator."

"Uchiha Itachi."

"In the same year…"

"On the same night…"

Subsequently, one name after another poured from Uchiha Ikeizumi's mouth, none repeating. Their respective manners of death were mostly similar.

Either pierced through the chest by a ninja blade, or beheaded, or merely slit at the throat, or killed from a distance by shuriken or kunai—all were methods Uchiha Itachi was most skilled at and most efficiently effective for killing.

These names all bore the Uchiha surname, and many were names Fugaku had heard of.

Among these people… many were ordinary Uchiha clan members who hadn't awakened the Sharingan and weren't even considered ninja.

The perpetrator who killed them…

Without exception!

All were "Uchiha Itachi"!

Fugaku was almost unable to remember how many Uchiha clan members Uchiha Ikeizumi had named, until he heard his own name from Ikeizumi's mouth.

Fugaku was nearly numb.

"This is the 'evil' I see in you. Uchiha Itachi… This is also the 'evil' that will happen in the future. It will occur on a certain night one year from now; it will be the Uchiha Clan Massacre. From that point, the Uchiha clan will cease to exist."

Uchiha Ikeizumi's hand had, at some unknown moment, clamped onto Uchiha Itachi's neck.

His speed was clearly not fast; even an ordinary person could have dodged.

But Itachi chose not to dodge.

"Now, do you still want to ask me why I wanted to kill you a few years ago?"
