Chapter 220 The Split Slug Sage
Fortunately, everything will eventually turn out well. As long as [absolute justice] is fully implemented on the land of the Water Kingdom, the country can be reborn. And at that time, it will be time for her, the bloodthirsty cleaver, to retire successfully.
Uchiha Ikezumi stared into Mei Terumi's eyes for a long time. Even under the gaze of his blood-red eyes, Mei Terumi's gaze did not waver in the slightest. She was in great pain, but she was mentally prepared to sacrifice everything.
"Summoning Jutsu!" Uchiha Ikezumi summoned the Slug Sage after a long absence, and summoned a gigantic slug that was several times the size of a tailed beast, standing on the land of Kirigakure like a real small mountain.
"Lord Chiquan, what are your orders?" The colossal slug stretched out its tentacles and looked around. It had been a long time since a contractor had summoned such a huge creature, which made the slug a little unaccustomed to it.
Every slug in Shikkotsu Forest is essentially a part of the Slug Sage. However, due to differences in size, different slugs have different personalities, and their manner of communicating with their contractors is naturally different.
"The Slug Sage has volunteered to carry out [Absolute Justice] in the Land of Water in my place. I hope you can help supervise the execution of justice." Uchiha Izumi will not adopt a laissez-faire attitude just because she trusts Terumi Mei; that is not how justice should be done.
"Is that so? What do you want me to do?" The slug's antennae twitched slightly, looking at me with some curiosity.
Xiang Zhaomei Meiming.
Although she agreed with Uchiha Ikezumi's ideals, her experience over the past thousand years had taught her that very few people could truly accept "absolute justice," and even fewer were willing to maintain their integrity, let alone endorse "absolute justice."
While adhering to the ideals, we must also be determined to follow them.
It's rare enough that Uchiha Izumi has such spontaneous followers, but I never expected that there would be humans in the Land of Water who recognize and are willing to follow Lord Izumi.
"I hope you split off enough little slugs to replace my eyes, so that the Hidden Mist ninjas can take them to cleanse the evil that has taken hold of this land!" Uchiha Izumi gazed at the Hidden Mist Village in the rain. Indeed, a large part of the infamous "Village of Blood Mist" could be attributed to Uchiha Obito.
Even before Obito Uchiha arrived, the ninjas of the Land of Water were known for their bloodshed and cruelty, and even gave rise to perverts like the First Seven Ninja Swordsmen who took pleasure in killing.
This shows that evil is probably deeply rooted in this land, so no matter how resolute Mei Terumi appears, Izumi Uchiha will not easily hand everything over to her.
"Understood, I will cooperate fully."
The slug's enormous body slowly wriggled, splitting into hundreds of smaller slugs the size of pillows. Three of them climbed onto the shoulders of Genshi, Terumi Mei, and Ao.
Mei Terumi and Ao's bodies were unusually stiff, yet they dared not utter the slightest objection, watching helplessly as the little slug climbed onto their shoulders.
Mei Terumi never showed any fear when facing any powerful enemy on the battlefield, but now this slug represented the will of Izumi Uchiha. Even though her female instincts repelled this soft-bodied creature, Mei Terumi dared not show any disgust.
"Please bear with me for a little while, I'll try my best not to touch you." The little slug perched on Mei Terumi's shoulder said softly, seemingly noticing her unusual behavior.
"You can talk?!" Mei Terumi glanced at the little slug on her shoulder with a hint of fear. She had only thought that the little slug was a descendant of the big slug and could at most act as an informant for Uchiha Izumi. But she never expected that the little slug would also have the ability to think and communicate.
Fortunately, it was discovered now. Otherwise, if someone had tried to do something underhanded and they had noticed, the opportunity that Mei Terumi had worked so hard to secure—for the Hidden Mist ninja to carry out [absolute justice]—would have been lost.
"Long time no see, Slug-sama." Before the slug could answer, the master with a complicated expression greeted him first, then said as if introducing or reminding him of something, "Slug-sama is the summoning beast of Tsunade from Konoha. Each little slug is essentially a clone of Slug-sama."
Compared to new generation ninjas like Mei Terumi and Ao, Genji, who came from the Warring States period, obviously knew far more information about Konoha.
"That's right, all slugs are me, but different slugs have different personalities~" The little slug perched on Yuan Shi's shoulder was noticeably more lively, its two little antennae trembling incessantly.
Mei Terumi smiled somewhat reluctantly. The implication in Genji's words was a reminder to her and Ao: this old man might not have the decisiveness of the previous Mizukage and Mei Terumi, but he was still a pillar of Kirigakure.
"Go, gather all the Hidden Mist ninja you believe are capable of upholding justice!" After Slug finished greeting them, Uchiha Ikezumi turned to Terumi Mei. Terumi Mei, being stared at by those blood-red eyes, felt as if pricked by a needle, her whole body trembling slightly. "The Slug Sage will stand in for my eyes and watch [Absolute Justice] descend upon this land!"
"—Yes, Lady Ikezumi!" After a moment of silence, Mei Terumi took a deep breath and answered decisively.
There's no going back now. Compared to letting Uchiha Ikezumi wreak havoc on the Land of Water and completely shatter the future of Kirigakure, Mei Terumi would rather bear more infamy, so that the Land of Water and Kirigakure might still have a chance to continue.
Watching Mei Terumi and Ao's figures gradually disappear into the rain, Genji sighed inwardly. Then, he bowed and spoke to Uchiha Ikezumi in a slightly humble tone, "This is not the place to talk. Why don't we go to my humble abode for a chat? What do you think?"
"There's no need for that. Everything I do is for justice. As long as Kirigakure can uphold justice in the Land of Water, there's nothing to worry about!" Uchiha Izumi glanced at the white square above the elder's head. In his long life, this elder of the Land of Water was naturally not spotless, yet he was still a white name, and his level of sin was even slightly lower than that of Terumi Mei, who had accidentally injured civilians.
—Considering the environment of Kirigakure and the status of the Master, it can only be described as a miracle!
Although [absolute justice] allows no compromise, every crime committed by Yuan Shi has a record of making amends, and he has basically obtained the forgiveness of the victims. It is quite commendable that he has been able to do this.
Since entering the Land of Water, Uchiha Ikezumi, who had seen many humanoid apes, couldn't help but look at Genji differently, and even his usually indifferent tone softened slightly.
"Thank you for your understanding." Master Yuan glanced at Uchiha Ikezumi with a hint of surprise. Having seen many arrogant and domineering Uchiha, he had thought that this Lord Ikezumi would be the second Uchiha Madara, but it seemed that the actual situation was not so.
