Chapter 20 - Chapter 20: Uchiha Akainu Might Be A Little Too Unhinged 

[Ding! You have successfully eliminated three "Red Name" villains! Your chakra has received a slight boost! Congratulations, you have successfully dropped: ① Wind Nature Chakra; ② Shadow Imitation Jutsu; ③ Water Severing Wave!] 

[Name: Uchiha Akainu][Age: 18 years old][Status: Konoha Uchiha Police Force Member][Strength: Jōnin][Bloodline Limits: Sharingan, Lava Release, See-Through Jutsu (Tōton)][Taijutsu: Uchiha Style Kenjutsu, Shurikenjutsu, Kunai Combat Arts...][Ninjutsu: Great Fireball Jutsu, Great Fire Annihilation, Lava Release: Great Eruption, Lava Release Chakra Armor, Shadow Imitation Jutsu...][Other: Cooking, Calligraphy, Gambling, Bedroom Arts...][...] 

The Wind Nature Chakra must have dropped from Danzō. With Wind, Uchiha Akainu now possessed all five basic chakra natures: Fire, Earth, Water, Wind, and Lightning. And it seemed the Wind Nature Chakra he'd taken from Danzō, who was practically a master of Wind Style, was far from ordinary. It immediately became one of Uchiha Akainu's most prominent chakra natures, on par with his Fire and Earth. This also meant that some of the Wind Style jutsu Uchiha Akainu had acquired while meting out justice in the past could finally be put to good use. 

The remaining Shadow Imitation Jutsu and Water Severing Wave were just bonuses, really. 

Danzō was definitely a "treasure trove," and coupled with his crimson-to-purple level of wickedness, Uchiha Akainu felt that familiar itch to strike again. The killing intent against "evil" that had bloomed in his heart simply couldn't be suppressed. 

However, as the Police Force headquarters came into view, he had no choice but to rein in his murderous intent, just a little. 

As long as Danzō was in the ninja world, justice would never be absent. 

 

A Fateful Meeting 

"Lord Fugaku. The Gekkō clan's matricide case has been handled. Hayate Gekkō, the sole remaining direct descendant of the Gekkō clan, has accepted the Police Force's handling of the matter." 

Inside the office, a Police Force member was reporting to Uchiha Fugaku. "Furthermore, Hayate Gekkō also stated that the Gekkō clan will not question the legitimacy of Uchiha Akainu's enforcement actions. However, his request is that the Police Force does not release the details of the case." 

"He seems to want to preserve some dignity for his younger brother." 

Fugaku let out a heavy sigh upon hearing this. "Murder cases involving family ties... they truly weigh heavily on the heart." Just as Fugaku was about to say more, there was a light knock on the office door. 

"Please..." 

Before Fugaku could even utter "come in," the door swung open. The moment it did, he didn't even need to see who it was. He already knew. After all, even some of the hawk-faction Uchiha would at least put on a show of respect for him, their clan head. Among the entire Uchiha clan, the only one bold enough to ignore his authority so completely was probably Uchiha Akainu. 

And Akainu couldn't even be bothered with a pretense. 

Sure enough. 

When Fugaku looked up, he saw Uchiha Akainu, accompanied by his junior trainee Izumi, walking into the office. 

"Akainu, you—" 

"—Hm!?" 

Fugaku's attention was suddenly drawn to a blond kid Akainu was carrying. And he couldn't shake the feeling that this blond kid looked... familiar. He focused his gaze. Fugaku's usually composed eyes widened in shock. 

He recognized him! 

Uchiha Akainu casually dropped Naruto, who landed on his backside with an "Ouch!" But then, terrified his yelp would bother Uchiha Akainu, he frantically clapped a hand over his mouth, trembling and daring not to make another sound. 

"Akainu, this child..." Fugaku felt like his head was about to explode, his scalp tingling. He never imagined Uchiha Akainu would bring the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki to the Uchiha Police Force headquarters! 

Fugaku forcibly swallowed the "Nine-Tails Jinchuriki" that was about to blurt out, asking instead, "Why did you bring Naruto Uzumaki here?" The usually composed Uchiha clan head's speaking speed had noticeably quickened. 

Fugaku admitted he was caught completely off guard. The village already suspected the Uchiha clan was involved in the Nine-Tails' attack. To dispel the village's doubts, Fugaku had specifically ordered his clan members to keep their distance from the jinchuriki. He had especially warned his wife not to contact Naruto Uzumaki, seeing as his wife and Naruto's birth mother were close friends. He worried Mikoto might be too soft on Naruto Uzumaki. 

But who could have known... he had warned everyone a thousand times, and yet he'd missed Uchiha Akainu! 

Or rather, Uchiha Akainu simply didn't care about his clan head's warnings! 

"He disrupted Konoha's order and interfered with others' legitimate businesses. In my eyes, he committed a crime. Even by Konoha's lenient laws, he could be charged with several offenses. Bringing him here is simply my duty," Uchiha Akainu said calmly. 

Fugaku: "..." You're a little too diligent in your duties, aren't you?! 

"But what about Lord Hokage—" 

Fugaku was cut off by Uchiha Akainu, who seamlessly interrupted him. "The Hokage knows, and so does Root. When I apprehended Naruto Uzumaki, Danzō and his Root ninja tried to obstruct justice. I killed two and a half of them." 

Fugaku: "???" 

Uchiha Akainu continued, "Unfortunately, the Hokage and his Anbu arrived soon after. He abused his power to protect Danzō Shimura. He also tried to protect Naruto Uzumaki, but he backed off when he realized I might turn hostile." 

Fugaku: "???" 

Fugaku swore that the entire day's worth of information hadn't hit him as hard as these few sentences from Uchiha Akainu. He had no idea that Uchiha Akainu, who had just caused such a huge stir yesterday by killing three Gekkō clan ninja, had gone and opened up another massive can of worms today!!! 

Arresting the jinchuriki, killing Root members, offending Danzō, confronting the Hokage, and even forcing the Hokage to step back. 

And... if he wasn't mistaken, Uchiha Akainu might have already prepared for a physical confrontation with the higher-ups. 

He actually dared to lay hands on the village leadership!!! 

He was even more extreme than the Uchiha clan's hawk-faction ninja! At least those hawks only dared to pressure him, the clan head, into planning a coup. But Uchiha Akainu just went right ahead and acted. 

Fugaku was stunned for a long time. 

His gaze at Naruto Uzumaki was no longer like looking at a hot potato, but a glowing red-hot iron ingot! And his gaze at Uchiha Akainu was like looking at a madman. 

In Fugaku's eyes at this moment... even the most unhinged Uchiha ninja wasn't as crazy as Uchiha Akainu. 

So the question remained: Uchiha Akainu dared to arrest this child, Naruto Uzumaki. But did he, the clan head, dare to lock this child in the Konoha Prison? 

Fugaku fell silent. He didn't know how long he remained silent, nor what he was calculating in his mind, before he finally attempted to speak: "Akainu..." 

"If you also intend to abuse your power, to obstruct justice in the name of protecting Naruto Uzumaki, then I will simply take him directly to the Konoha Prison and personally lock him up." 

Uchiha Akainu was not surprised. He interrupted Fugaku again. "If you truly do that, then in my eyes, you are an enabler of 'evil,' and you are my enemy." 

Fugaku: "..." 

Akainu had already said everything. What more could he say? 

 This is quite a predicament for Fugaku, isn't it? What do you think happens next , read more inpatreon belamy20
