Chapter 235 Eradicating the Underground Black Market
With a swift movement, the sharp katana sliced open the gangster's throat. Before blood could even gush out, Uchiha Izumi had already appeared behind him, facing off against the second enemy.
"Go to hell!"
The second gangster didn't even notice that his companion was dead. He only saw Uchiha Izumi appear in front of him in a flash, and instinctively swung his knife at her.
"In the name of [absolute justice] ————"
Unfortunately, within the vision of Uchiha Izumi's three-tomoe Sharingan, the gangsters' movements, while not completely frozen, were essentially in slow motion. She glanced at the crimes displayed in the box above their heads, and then followed the standard procedure of using genjutsu to control them and deliver a fatal blow: "Execution!"
Compared to the bold and decisive actions of Juzo Biwa, Izumi Uchiha would take a closer look at the crimes of her victims before killing them, yet her efficiency in eliminating gangsters was no less than that of Juzo Biwa.
"Well done, meow! Wipe out all these wicked bastards!"
The only one who didn't make a move was Tachibana Jiro, who squatted on the railing on the second floor of the warehouse and cheered loudly. Although it was actually the common people who were suffering from famine who ate the cat, Tachibana Jiro, who had followed Uchiha Ikezumi for many years, was not so ignorant of the principle that the wronged should be held accountable.
If it weren't for these bad guys deliberately creating famine, the civilians of Watergull City wouldn't have been so hungry that they had to hunt and kill cats and rats to fill their stomachs.
"We caught a mischievous mouse!"
However, just as the extremely excited Tachibana Jiro was eager to participate himself, a slightly strange voice suddenly rang out behind him, "Hmm—if you were to hold a funeral, what kind of funeral would you prefer?"
"Meow!?"
Startled, Tachibana Jiro turned around abruptly, only to see a man with long green hair and a muscular build emerge from the darkness, his two strangely shaped short swords flashing with blinding lightning.
"Alright, if you won't tell me, I'll pick one for you and hold a funeral for you with lightning!"
Kurosuki Raiga revealed a neurotic smile, and before Tachibana Jiro could speak, he crossed the two lightning swords in his hands. The lightning that danced on the blades pounced on Tachibana Jiro like a venomous snake, "Lightning Release: Lightning Serpent!"
However, the instant the lightning struck, Jiro Tachibana, his eyes wide, instinctively slammed his claws into the railing, unleashing the ninjutsu that had been honed and refined countless times by it.
"Bang!"
A plume of smoke rose up, and a figure stood between Tachibana Jiro and Kurosuki Raiga, managing to catch Kurosuki Raiga's lightning release with his bare hands.
"Thank goodness, that was close! That scared me to death!"
Tachibana Jiro looked at the lightning flashing intermittently in the smoke with a bit of agitation. Although it was not an ordinary house cat, a ninja cat could not be compared with a ninja. If the lightning release from earlier had hit it, it would have been badly injured even if it did not die.
"I think I warned you, Tachibana Jiro—"
The smoke quickly dissipated, and the figure who had blocked the lightning release with his bare hands finally revealed his face. It was a handsome young man wearing a Konoha headband, but with a cold expression. He was none other than Uchiha Ikezumi, who had single-handedly suppressed the entire Hidden Mist Village not long ago. "The Reverse Summoning Technique is not for you to use as a shield."
If it were any other Kirigakure ninja facing Uchiha Ikezumi at this moment, they would most likely have turned and run without hesitation. However, Kurosuki Raiga was a rogue ninja from Kirigakure, and Mizuki Castle was far enough away from Kirigakure that they would not receive news from Kirigakure for a while.
"I'm sorry, Master Ikezumi, but the situation is so urgent that there's no other way—"
Tachibana Jiro wagged his tail and chuckled dryly. He knew what a stupid thing he had done. If the target of the reverse summoning had not been Uchiha Ikezumi, but some other ninja, he would have been hit by a lightning release right from the start. Even if he had 100% strength, he would probably have lost half of it.
However, Tachibana Jiro wasn't stupid enough to trick people. His reverse summoning target was only Uchiha Izumi's wood clone. Otherwise, with his chakra reserves, even if the other party cooperated, he wouldn't be able to pull Uchiha Izumi over now.
"Konoha ninja? Never mind, they're all the same. If you're going to have a funeral, what kind of funeral do you prefer?"
Raiga Kurosuki glanced at Izumi Uchiha's headband with some disgust, which reminded him of the tight-fitting monster who almost wiped out the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.
However, it was precisely because of this that Raiga Kurosuki's killing intent grew even stronger. If he had only wanted to eliminate the troublesome rats before, now he was settling old scores with new ones. What he hated most were the Konoha ninjas!
"A person who has committed heinous crimes —"
Uchiha Izumi glanced at the red name box above Raiga Kurosuki's head and didn't bother to look any further. This guy's level of evil was off the charts; even in Kirigakure, a village known for its "talented" ninja, he would be considered one of the best. "Judgment Eye!"
"If you don't want to choose, I'll pick one for you. I'll use my favorite, Lightning Funeral! Lightning Release: Lightning—Aa ...
Just as Kurosuki Raiga revealed a neurotic smile, before he could even activate his lightning blade, he met Uchiha Ikezumi's blood-red eyes, and the Mangekyou Sharingan Judgment Eye residing in his left eye was activated immediately.
The next moment, Raiga Kurozumi's almost inhuman screams echoed throughout the warehouse, startling even the gangsters who were fighting.
Pipa Kanzo and Uchiha Izumi also took the opportunity to escape the battle, swallowing military rations to quickly recover their strength and chakra.
Ignoring Kurosuki Raiga, who was rolling and roaring on the ground like a wild beast, Uchiha Ikezumi calmly glanced at the people in the warehouse, his expression of disgust almost tangible.
Even in the infamous Hidden Mist Village, there are plenty of ninjas with relatively low levels of guilt, who can even be considered innocent. But right now, apart from Izumi Uchiha and Juzo Biwa, almost everyone in this warehouse who can move around freely is a red name, and most of them are extremely heinous criminals with red names that are almost purple or even black.
In comparison, Raiga Kurosuki seemed unremarkable among this group, especially the guy who turned and ran after hearing Raiga Kurosuki's scream. The contents of the box above his head were several times more outrageous than those beast Itachi Uchiha!
"Lord Chiquan, these people are utterly wicked! They're forcing the common people in the city to eat cat meat just to survive!"
"I've been following Uchiha Ikezumi for so many years, and I've seen countless bad people, but none as bad as the underground black market of Mizuki City," Tachibana Jiro said indignantly.
"I understand, you did a great job."
Uchiha Izumi glanced at the blood-soaked Pipa Juzo and the slightly out-of-breath Uchiha Izumi, then calmly looked at the remaining gang leaders and thugs, "Heavenly Punishment Fire!"
