Chapter 260 Return to Konoha, Current Situation in Konoha
"Finally back in Konoha!"
Uchiha Izumi looked at the Konoha gates not far away, a hint of joy flashing in her eyes.
Having been away for so long, Uchiha Izumi was starting to miss the various snacks from Konoha. After all, eating too many of those soldier pills really could make you nauseous!
"Is Tsunade's Hokage election about to begin?"
"Will they start fighting then, meow?"
Tachibana Jiro was also quite excited. When they left the village, Tsunade was already vying with the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, for the position of the next Hokage. Now that they were back, it was almost time for the most exciting moment.
Jiro Tachibana felt that Hiruzen Sarutobi might not easily hand over the position of Hokage!
"With Izumi-sama's support, Tsunade-sama will definitely become Hokage!"
Izumi hugged Tachibana Jiro, expressing his support for Tsunade.
"Let's go back to the village."
Uchiha Ikezumi didn't say much. On the way back, he felt that his body, along with his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, was undergoing some transformations that he wasn't quite sure about.
Even though Nagato's Six Paths didn't unleash Yin-Yang Release, Uchiha Izumi vaguely felt that he could also initially fuse the power of Yin and Yang Release to create something similar to a black rod.
Uchiha Ikezumi also needs to explore how to utilize this new power.
Not long after Uchiha Ikezumi returned to Konoha, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Tsunade, along with Jiraiya, also received the news, but their feelings upon receiving it were quite different.
Hiruzen Sarutobi felt somewhat relieved, but at the same time, he was also a little disappointed.
He was relieved that Uchiha Ikezumi had returned to Konoha, but disappointed that with Ikezumi's return, his time as Hokage was probably coming to an end!
After all, Tsunade's approval rating was already very high, and with the support of those ninjas who advocated absolute justice, even Hiruzen Sarutobi himself didn't know how he could win this Hokage election.
Aside from Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had mixed feelings, Tsunade only responded with an "oh" when she received the news and then there was no further follow-up.
Although she knew about what Uchiha Ikezumi had done in the Land of Water, perhaps because Tsunade now equated Uchiha Ikezumi with her omnipotent great-grandfather Senju Hashirama, she felt that this was normal.
"Actually, what Jiraiya said isn't entirely wrong. Every few years, some ninjas appear in the ninja world who cannot be understood by common sense."
"The last ones were my great-grandfather and Madara Uchiha, who ended the Warring States period. Although my great-grandfather's ninja village did not completely eliminate war, it at least achieved regional peace."
"If Uchiha Izumi were like my great-grandfather, absolute justice might bring greater peace to the ninja world!"
Tsunade was thinking about all sorts of things. She felt that the crazy toads of Mount Myōboku might have really made a prophecy, but what the toads prophesied might not be what they needed.
After all, if there really is a Child of Prophecy, wouldn't her great-grandfather, Hashirama Senju, have ended the Warring States period, so he wasn't a Child of Prophecy?
As for that little guy named Naruto whom Jiraiya valued, Tsunade, at least for now, really couldn't see anything different about him.
"Uchiha Izumi is back—"
Jiraiya, who was diligently teaching at the Ninja Academy, was somewhat listless at this moment. He couldn't understand what kind of charm absolute justice had that could make Naruto Uzumaki so obsessed with it.
Even though Uchiha Izumi and Uchiha Izumi have both left Konoha, Uzumaki Naruto and Sasuke still tirelessly uphold absolute justice every day. If you didn't know better, you'd think they were already members of the Konoha Police Force!
Jiraiya certainly saw the changes in Konoha, but all he saw was the villagers living cautiously under the guise of absolute justice, without a shred of freedom.
"I can sense that Uchiha Izumi has become even stronger!"
"He is so powerful that even the natural energies seem to subtly fear him!"
Fukasaku looked in the direction of Uchiha Ikezumi. Mount Myōboku also has its own sensory ninjutsu, or rather, sensory sage techniques, which can judge a person's strength based on the flow of natural energy.
In Fukasaku's perception, Uchiha Izumi is now someone that even natural energy fears.
However, what Fukasaku Sage didn't know was that the natural energy feared Uchiha Ikezumi not because of his strength, but because Uchiha Ikezumi intentionally or unintentionally consumed the water in nature after obtaining the Water Contract.
The water that was consumed was broken down into chakra and replenished Uchiha Ikezumi's body. If Uchiha Ikezumi lived long enough, he could very well turn the entire ninja world into arid lands by himself.
"yeah!"
"Lord Ikezumi has finally returned to Konoha!"
At the Ninja Academy, Naruto Uzumaki started shouting and yelling after learning that Izumi Uchiha had returned.
He felt like he hadn't seen Uchiha Ikezumi for a long time. Although he was still carrying out justice, he couldn't help but want to get a little closer, and even closer, to Uchiha Ikezumi.
After all, only by following Uchiha Izumi can one truly understand what absolute justice is!
"Those guys in the village who've been up to their old tricks while Lord Ikezumi's away are going to have trouble sleeping!"
Sasuke also smiled, and even Hinata, who was further away, had bright eyes, because she remembered that it was Uchiha Ikezumi who led her and her sister away from the Hyuga clan.
As for why the main family of the Hyuga clan would leave—that's none of your business!
"Perhaps, perhaps we could ask Lord Ikezumi for help with the Hyuga branch family—"
Hinata couldn't help but think that Uchiha Ikezumi's departure had not calmed the turmoil in the Hyuga clan; on the contrary, it had become increasingly chaotic as time went on.
Especially since neither Hiruzen Sarutobi nor Tsunade paid any attention to the Hyuga clan, the Hyuga clan has now re-elected its so-called main family and is still selecting members for the main family!
In other words, Hyuga Neji's current strength is not enough; otherwise, sometimes Hyuga Neji himself would want to wipe out all those old fogies from the branch families.
These past few days, Hyuga Neji has been thinking that Uchiha Itachi should not have been born into the Uchiha clan at all, but should have been born into the Hyuga clan. After all, if the entire Hyuga clan were killed, there might not be so much evil.
"A decision regarding the Hyuga clan must be made as soon as possible!"
Neji Hyuga's eyes gradually hardened. He knew his power was insufficient to solve the sins of the Hyuga clan, but if he sought help from Izumi Uchiha, he was certain he could make all the sins of the Hyuga clan disappear.
Besides these, there was another person who breathed a huge sigh of relief after hearing that Uchiha Ikezumi had returned to Konoha.
