Gekko Hayate still clearly remembered that two years ago… a prodigy of the Uchiha clan named "Uchiha Chizumi" broke into the Gekko compound alone, dressed in the Police Force uniform.
With a cold voice he announced—
"Police Force investigation in progress. All unrelated persons, stand back. Otherwise, lethal force will be used."
Gekko Hayate never found out exactly how the clash started.
What he did know was that he saw his own father cut down before his eyes.
Two uncles—elder members of the clan—were killed as well.
That night…
A choking stench of sulfur filled the Gekko compound.
Scalding magma flowed across the ground.
Building walls were slashed and peppered with kunai and shuriken.
Hayate remembered even more vividly how, afterward, the entire Gekko clan petitioned the Third Hokage, demanding above all that "Uchiha Chizumi" be arrested and thrown in prison—that the Uchiha demon be put on the chopping block!
Yet…
For some reason…
Nothing ever came of it.
A few clan elders slunk back from the Hokage's office and never spoke of the matter again.
They no longer sought an explanation from the Uchiha, only ordered the younger generation to keep the hatred in their hearts—and did nothing else.
And now—that very "Uchiha Chizumi"… has come again!
"Not good!!!"
Gekko Hayate snapped back to reality. He drew his sword and rushed home, almost panicking.
Just as he reached the main gate, a thunderous BOOM shook the air.
In his field of vision his younger brother, Gekko Seisui, face twisted with fury, unleashed an Earth Release jutsu, trying to kill a Uchiha boy and girl in Police uniforms.
He also saw his brother's figure turn transparent for an instant while brandishing a kunai.
Hayate couldn't tell whether Seisui was using Transparency Release to attack—or to flee…
"Seisui! Don't!!!"
He shouted in haste, because either choice meant certain death!
Against that demon Uchiha Chizumi, the only chance to live was to drop all weapons and surrender at once!
…
Inside the compound, Uchiha Chizumi seized Izumi by the collar and flung her aside, then lightly leapt away from a boulder hurtling toward him.
A chilling crimson had already crawled across his eyes; the three‑tomoe Sharingan pattern slowly surfaced in his pupils.
Suddenly he glanced left—no one was visible, yet the soil on the ground rippled oddly.
"Transparency Release… huh."
Uchiha Chizumi flicked out several shuriken and hurled them instantly toward that spot.
The blades tore through the air with a shrill whistle, as though sinking into something unseen.
"Urgh!!!"
A muffled grunt sounded, and fresh blood spattered out of thin air.
"Seisui! Don't run!!" Gekko Hayate shouted while sprinting toward the airborne spray of blood.
But Gekko Seisui—still invisible yet struck—grew even more frantic when he saw his brother arrive.
He dodged Hayate, endured the stabbing pain in his back, and bolted in another direction.
He never made it beyond the clan grounds.
A sharp ninja blade had already run him through from behind!
Seisui's blood‑shot eyes bulged wide.
His mouth opened, yet the blade twisted inside his chest and was slowly withdrawn.
He staggered, barely able to stand, clutching his chest as blood instantly soaked his palm.
His Transparency Release kekkei‑genkai failed—his battered form became fully visible.
"Seisui—!!!" His brother's anguished cry grew closer, but Seisui's consciousness was fading fast.
"Gekko Seisui. Your mother's corpse has been found. Your crime is now exposed."
Uchiha Chizumi's icy tone made Seisui's face show despair in his final moment:
"Today, in the name of Absolute Justice, you are judged."
He pressed his chest, staggered a few steps, forced himself to turn; the world was going black.
"Evi… evidence…?"
"You erased the marks on the body, yes—but not its memories," Chizumi said, flicking blood off his blade.
"The Police Force will hand the corpse to the Yamanaka clan—you know their secret art."
"The proof you want—perhaps your clansmen will burn it and send it to you after you die.
Assuming they ever forgive your matricide."
Seisui seemed utterly drained.
He collapsed helplessly.
At the instant he fell, Hayate finally reached him, catching his body and clamping a hand over the gaping wound, trying to stanch the blood.
"Seisui! Hold on, I'll get a medical‑nin!"
Slap—
Hayate froze.
Seisui had knocked his hand away.
"C‑cough… s‑stop… pretending…"
Seisui's lips were ghostly pale; he sneered weakly:
"If she hadn't loved you so much, I… wouldn't have killed her. Isn't it ironic…? The father who prized you most died to Uchiha Chizumi; the mother who doted on you most… died by my hand… heh…"
Under Hayate's stunned gaze, Seisui croaked his last words:
"I was so jealous of you…"
The light left Seisui's eyes.
They went blank.
His breath ceased.
[Ding! You have slain a "Red Name" villain! Chakra slightly increased! Congratulations—you have obtained the Transparency Release Kekkei Genkai!]
Two years earlier Uchiha Chizumi had killed three Gekko clansmen, but they had only dropped three jutsu, not the clan's unique Transparency Release.
Today, after executing the red named criminal Gekko Seisui, Chizumi added yet another bloodline limit—Transparency Release—to his arsenal alongside the Sharingan and Lava Release.
"Chizumi‑senpai…"
Izumi's incredulous voice rose behind him:
"That corpse… was his mother?"
Plainly, she had heard everything said between Chizumi and Seisui, and it shook her worldview; she stood half‑dazed.
"Mm,"
Chizumi answered.
Izumi murmured in bewilderment, "To kill your own mother just because of jealousy… this is…"
"This is the evil of the ninja world."
Uchiha Chizumi stared at the body—and at Gekko Hayate, standing frozen as if his mind had crashed.
He spoke slowly:
"Warped thoughts, ruthless wars… all of it magnifies every person's evil without limit.
The power ninja possesses makes them naïvely believe they can outrun justice."
"This shinobi world is sick."
"It needs a cleansing."
