Chapter 180 Extreme Fugaku! Violent Resistance to Law!
After finishing dinner at home, Mikoto Uchiha did not eat with Sasuke Uchiha. Instead, she used the excuse of going out to throw out the trash to unknowingly arrive at the police station building.
Mikoto Uchiha didn't know why she had come here until she looked up at the building in front of her and then she realized what had happened.
Yes, it was because he didn't want Sasuke to suffer from Fugaku's extreme controlling nature again. In his eyes, Fugaku's current state was extremely abnormal.
In Fugaku Uchiha's eyes, Itachi seemed irreplaceable, yet indispensable to the village.
So he wanted to train Sasuke to be a second Uchiha ninja who was very close to Itachi, but not exactly like Itachi.
Sasuke in that situation best met the expectations of his father, Fugaku.
But would that Sasuke still be Sasuke? This behavior almost completely erased Sasuke's unique humanity and imposed another person's humanity onto him.
At that time, Sasuke will only become a source of guilt.
For some reason, Mikoto Uchiha felt a voice calling to her from within, urging her to stop her husband.
She took a deep breath and walked into the Konoha Police Department building.
Even though it was night, the police station building was still quite lively, as many petty thieves had been caught. Since Fugaku Uchiha stepped down, many Uchiha ninjas have been particularly enthusiastic about upholding justice in the village.
Of course, the law has also become more unforgiving.
For some behaviors that were once turned a blind eye, the police force's ninjas will now arrest the lawbreakers without hesitation.
"Mrs. Mikoto?" A questioning voice drew Mikoto's attention. Turning her head, she saw it was Izumi Uchiha.
It was the Uchiha girl who followed Ikezumi.
Izumi approached, holding a document, and asked Mikoto Uchiha curiously, "What brings you here?"
Mikoto Uchiha pursed her lips.
She prepared herself mentally and said, "I hope the police force can help me restrain my husband's extreme behavior. My child has already been harmed by his actions. Tonight, Sasuke was almost choked to death by Fugaku."
spring:"!!!"
Uchiha Izumi never expected that shortly after Izumi took over as the head of the police force, [Absolute Justice] would clash with the previous head of the police force.
and.
The person who came to report the crime was actually his wife! This is enough to show that this former clan chief and former captain not only lost the support of the clan, but also failed to be a good father and husband at home.
Realizing the gravity of the matter, Quan Qiao said earnestly, "Alright, I'll take you directly to see Captain Ike Quan!"
"..—.Okay." Mikoto Uchiha knew that once she arrived here, there was no turning back.
I'm sorry, Fugaku. I did it for Sasuke, and also for our family, which is already starting to fall apart.
She silently recited a sentence in her heart.
Sasuke sat alone in a chair, his little face puffed out in a huff, staring sullenly at the dinner that had gone cold on the table.
He didn't understand why his father was so stubborn.
After spending several days in contact with "Absolute Justice" and gradually understanding what justice is, Sasuke's thoughts have changed from simply "gaining power from justice" to "striving to improve himself to uphold justice, and not being constantly overshadowed by the underdog."
Maybe-
One day, I will realize that I cannot gain power by performing justice, and I will not hesitate to continue to devote myself to the cause of justice.
Sasuke couldn't help but reach up and touch his neck, still feeling a bit shaken.
Because at that moment, Sasuke couldn't even tell whether his father really wanted to kill him or just wanted to teach him a lesson.
Maybe-.
Is it just a lesson? After all, he's his own son; he can't possibly have murderous thoughts about his own son, can he?
"Ahem, speaking of which—" Sasuke couldn't help but cough twice, clearing his slightly uncomfortable throat, and muttered in confusion, "Didn't Mother say she was just going out to throw out the trash? It seems like half an hour has already passed, hasn't it?"
Just as Sasuke had this thought in mind.
He heard familiar footsteps and couldn't help but instinctively look up, only to see his father walking towards him with a cold face.
Fugaku Uchiha glanced at the untouched food.
Fugaku Uchiha said expressionlessly, "I'll give you three minutes to finish your dinner immediately, then go to the backyard to train. I require you to master the skills of walking on chakra and climbing trees within half a month."
"If you can't do that, add five hours to your daily practice time. If you still can't do that, add another five hours, until you have no rest time for 24 hours straight."
"besides."
Fugaku took a deep breath and added, "Don't mention the words 'absolute justice' in front of me. I am no longer the head of the Uchiha clan, nor the captain of the police force."
"I no longer bear the pressure I once carried, which also means I no longer need to fear what I once feared. I am now barefoot, and Chi Quan is now wearing shoes."
Fugaku Uchiha didn't care whether Sasuke could understand those last few words or not.
Just as he was about to turn and leave with a stern face.
A sudden noise outside the house alerted Fugaku Uchiha, causing him to frown slightly.
Fugaku could tell that many people were approaching.
The other party seemed to have barged into his mansion!
"Stay here and don't come out." After saying this to Sasuke, Fugaku Uchiha walked out the door. But what he saw before him made him freeze for a moment.
One after another, fully armed Uchiha police ninjas poured into his mansion.
Some people stood on the eaves, some on the treetops, some blocked the door, and some lurked in the shadows, invisible to the naked eye.
It practically surrounded the entire mansion, completely blocking it off, so that not even a mosquito could get out.
Fugaku Uchiha also saw many police ninjas with their hands on the hilts of their swords, ready to fight at any moment.
His stern face immediately darkened.
An extremely displeased gaze fell upon the leader of the Uchiha ninjas.
Suppressing his anger, Fugaku Uchiha addressed the expressionless Ikezumi Uchiha, "Ikezumi—what do you mean by this? I've already handed over the position of Captain-Commander to you, yet you've surrounded me with so many clansmen in the dead of night. Is it because you perceive me as your only threat, and therefore want to eliminate me?"
It's impossible for Fugaku not to indulge in conspiracy theories.
Because he couldn't imagine what he had done wrong that required so many police ninjas to surround him.
The only possibility is that [Absolute Justice] will eventually bare its fangs and prepare to eliminate dissidents within the Uchiha clan!
The radical faction led by Uchiha Setsuna has been eliminated by Absolute Justice; the last remaining faction, the moderate faction led by himself, will likely also suffer the same fate.
"Uchiha Fugaku, a person with a dirty heart, sees everything as dirty."
The speaker was not Uchiha Ikezumi, but a police ninja.
He stepped forward, stared at Fugaku, and said expressionlessly, "Lord Ikezumi has come to arrest you and imprison you. This evening you committed the crime of intentionally harming a child, or rather, you attempted murder, but failed!"
"You nearly suffocated your own son. If your wife hadn't intervened in time, would you have kept your hand? Can you guarantee you didn't have even the slightest thought of killing him at that moment? Can you swear to heaven in the name of the Uchiha clan?"
The question from the police ninja startled Fugaku.
How do outsiders find out what happens in one's own home?
What exactly is going on?
"—Ikezumi, this is just a family matter. Sasuke was unharmed; he's alive and well. Neither intentional assault nor attempted murder applies to me."
Fugaku Uchiha took a deep breath and calmed down a bit before saying, "According to Konoha's laws, the most severe punishment a parent can impose on their child is domestic violence."
He grew increasingly calm until he uttered the laws that the Uchiha clan had once established.
"For minor cases of domestic violence, verbal warnings should be the primary punishment; for more serious cases, a fine, a verbal warning, and fifteen days of suspended detention should be imposed. This is already the maximum penalty."
He glanced around at them: "Judging from your current posture, it seems you yourselves have violated the laws and rules of Konoha. Is upholding justice by violating the law truly justice?"
Uchiha Ikezumi said expressionlessly, "Weak laws are a secondary harm to the victims and a form of protection for the perpetrators. They only tarnish justice with an indelible layer of dust."
"The moment I took this position, I began revising the law enforcement regulations of the Konoha Police Force. I also made reasonable revisions to some of the unreasonable laws in Konoha."
"Uchiha Fugaku, your current actions do not warrant a lenient sentence. At the very least, you must spend three years reflecting on your actions in Konoha Prison."
Fugaku Uchiha: "!!!"
"Chi Quan! You are abusing the power of the police force's chief of staff!"
He didn't expect that Uchiha Ikezumi would immediately take advantage of the police force's power to amend Konoha's laws!
You should know that in all the years I've served as the Chief of Police, I've never abused this power!
When certain legal provisions needed to be revised to keep pace with the times, he would consult the Hokage's opinion, and only make the revisions if the Hokage nodded in approval.
However, Uchiha Izumi's actions were clearly unauthorized modifications!
And no one's opinion was sought!
This is downright dictatorial!
"Ikezumi—." Fugaku Uchiha gritted his teeth: "If I don't go with you, are you going to order the police ninjas to attack me? Are you going to resort to force?"
Uchiha Ikezumi replied, "Yes."
Such a simple and frank response left Fugaku Uchiha completely bewildered.
Just as Fugaku Uchiha's expression tightened, he suddenly heard a slight noise behind him, and his gaze involuntarily shifted backward.
He then saw that Uchiha Sasuke ignored his warning and came out, leaning half his body out to look outside.
Fugaku Uchiha suddenly had an idea, and he said stiffly, "What if Sasuke doesn't think I hurt him? What if my wife also testifies that I didn't hurt Sasuke?"
"Fugaku, there's no need for this." The familiar voice made Uchiha Fugaku suddenly stiffen.
He watched helplessly as his wife slowly walked out from behind Uchiha Ikezumi and stood in front of him.
A flash of inspiration struck Fugaku.
"...Mikoto, did you report it to the police?" He uttered each word slowly and deliberately, his words filled with disbelief.
"Yes."
Mikoto Uchiha's expression was complex: "I can't let you continue down this obsessive path, nor can I let you raise Sasuke to be a second Itachi. Sasuke shouldn't inherit Itachi's extreme ideas. I won't listen to your excuses; you've hurt Sasuke. I think you need some time alone to calm down."
"This is a way to protect Sasuke, and also a way to protect our family. I'm sorry, Fugaku. If you hate me, feel free to hate me. I'm doing this for Sasuke's own good. Right now, I'm the only one in the family who can protect him and wants to protect him."
Fugaku Uchiha stood there dumbfounded, feeling utterly betrayed. This betrayal came from his family, and it hit him harder than any other betrayal he had ever faced.
His fist, hidden in his sleeve, was clenched tightly. Fugaku Uchiha felt as if he had lived most of his life as a dog.
I have worked so hard for the Uchiha clan and my family for so long.
What is the purpose of all this?
Was it all for the sake of betrayal?
Itachi—at most, their ideologies differ. Even if they were to fall out one day, it would simply be because their paths diverged.
We simply have different perspectives, nothing more.
Komiko.
She should clearly be on the same side as him in terms of path and stance.
Why does she treat herself like this?
"Carbim"
As the slightest sound subsided, a crack suddenly appeared in the ground beneath Fugaku's feet, a sign that his chakra was surging wildly within him.
This is enough to demonstrate his formidable strength.
"Uchiha Fugaku, what do you think you're doing?" A police ninja narrowed his eyes, immediately drawing his sword and adopting a highly vigilant stance. "Stop your murderous intent. Are you trying to violently resist the law?!"
"Resist France—"
A hint of confusion flashed across Fugaku Uchiha's stiff expression.
But in an instant, that sense of bewilderment vanished, and his expression gradually became completely calm.
He spoke slowly and deliberately, enunciating each word clearly: "I am upholding the last tradition of the Uchiha clan. I am proud, as the former clan head, to uphold the true mission of the Uchiha clan."
"I will never allow the Uchiha clan to have only one voice. I will become the sole second voice. I, Fugaku Uchiha, do not agree with your absolute 'laws' of justice!"
The moment the words left his mouth.
Fugaku Uchiha's eyes flashed crimson, and the police ninja who had drawn his sword to question him suddenly froze, as if he had seen something extremely horrific. He then broke down and screamed in agony.
"Aaaaaah!!!"
As the screams subsided, the expressions of all the police ninjas changed.
