Chapter 302 The Fall of the Grass Country's Capital!
"Damn it, meow!"
"Just like you said, Chi Quan, this country is completely beyond saving, meow!"
Tachibana Jiro believed that he had seen quite a few villains over the years following Uchiha Ikezumi, but even he hadn't seen many like the nobles of the Land of Grass.
Even the nobles of the Land of Fire wouldn't dare to mistreat commoners in public!
Uchiha Ikezumi did not reply, or rather, Uchiha Ikezumi's expression had become solemn.
Just as Uchiha Ikezumi's expression turned solemn, the entire capital of the Land of Grass suddenly began to tremble violently beneath the earth, as if some terrifying being was about to burst forth from the ground!
Indeed, something terrifying was about to burst forth from the earth.
A giant tree branch pierced through the capital of the Grass Kingdom. In just a few breaths, the branch had grown to a height of several hundred meters, and the eyes of everyone in the entire capital of the Grass Kingdom were now drawn to this tree.
"What is that?"
"Why are such large trees suddenly growing beneath the capital of our Grass Country?"
A nobleman kicked aside the commoner in front of him and stared blankly at the grass ninja he had hired to protect him. But at this moment, there was no color left on the grass ninja's face.
His lips were pale, his hands were trembling, and even his trousers were stained with an unknown liquid.
"He's here!"
"He really came!"
"He doesn't even care that this is the capital of the Land of Grass, nor does he care about our Land of Grass and the Land of Fire—"
The grass ninja looked at the huge tree in the distance with a trembling voice. With Uchiha Ikezumi doing such great things time and time again, almost every ninja in the ninja world now knows some information about Uchiha Ikezumi.
This is considered a common practice in the ninja world. Some small ninja villages, or even rival large ninja villages, are allowed to abandon their missions or even evacuate after confirming that a certain ninja is exceptionally powerful.
Unfortunately, Uchiha Izumi was the ninja who was ranked first among all the small ninja villages and was someone you couldn't mess with!
However, this grass ninja clearly still harbored a glimmer of hope. He felt that the relationship between the Land of Grass and the Land of Fire wasn't that bad; they were still allies. He thought that Uchiha Izumi wouldn't possibly come all the way to the capital of the Land of Grass.
With this in mind, he even took on a mission from a nobleman in the capital of the Land of Grass, but when he saw the tall tree rising in the distance, all that remained in the heart of this grass ninja was despair.
"Hey, who's here?"
The nobleman from the Land of Grass was dissatisfied with the incompetence of the ninja he had hired. He resolved to have the Grass Village replace him with a more powerful ninja the next day.
"Shut up!"
What this nobleman from the Land of Grass didn't expect was that the ninja from the Land of Grass would actually shove a kunai into his own throat.
Feeling the intense pain in his throat and the passing of his life, this nobleman from the Land of Grass died without understanding why the grass ninja he had hired had suddenly attacked him.
"I want to live!"
"I want to survive!"
"Oh right, right, didn't the village say that Uchiha Ikezumi only killed evil people?"
"If I kill all the evil people I know, will I be able to atone for my sins?"
After killing his employer, the ninja's still-shaken eyes were filled with a desperate desire to survive. He looked around, hoping to find a few more criminals he knew and use that method to cleanse himself of his sins.
But it was too late!
Vines began to grow on the tree, which was over 300 meters tall. Before anyone knew it, Uchiha Ikezumi was standing at the very top of the tree, and the red names on the tree were very conspicuous to him.
These vines, along with Uchiha Izumi's consciousness, were like death chains from hell, rampaging through the capital of the Land of Grass, and then piercing through one terrified or bewildered person after another!
"No, I am innocent!"
"They're all killing people. I'll die if I don't kill. I'm innocent!"
A Chunin from Kusagakure barely managed to dodge the first wave of tree and vine penetrations, but the vine seemed to possess a simple consciousness, simply changing direction to directly entangle the Kusagakure Chunin.
A terrifying force was acting on him; blood was flowing from his mouth and nose, a sign that his internal organs were beginning to rupture under the strangulation of the vines. Yet, he was shouting.
Even when facing death, he still felt he had done nothing wrong.
That's how it is in the Grass Village, that's how everyone is, that's how the entire ninja world is. So why should you, Uchiha Izumi, insist on being some kind of guy who executes absolute justice? Why did you have to kill me?
In his final moments, when the grass ninja looked up at Uchiha Ikezumi at the top of the tree, there was no remorse, only resentment and unwillingness. But he seemed to have forgotten that when he killed others, they had also humbly begged him for mercy.
What happened in the capital of the Land of Grass naturally alarmed the daimyo of the Land of Grass in his residence.
The fear on the face of the Daimyo of the Land of Grass was so obvious at this moment. He had also heard of the name Uchiha Ikezumi. After all, in all these years of the ninja world, only Uchiha Ikezumi had killed two Daimyo in succession!
Moreover, those two daimyo were different from him; one was the daimyo of the Land of Fire, and the other was the daimyo of the Land of Water!
"I did no evil; it was those ninjas and those nobles who did—"
At this moment, the Daimyo of the Land of Grass kept repeating this sentence, as if he could hypnotize himself and convince himself that he had never made a mistake or done anything evil in his life!
But it didn't work!
A giant vine descended from the sky, piercing straight through the daimyo's mansion, which had been built at great expense of resources and manpower. Even as the daimyo of the Land of Grass was being pierced by the vine, his eyes still held a look of horror and disbelief!
So, that guy named Uchiha Izumi really dared to kill a daimyo!
To the commoners in the capital of the Grass Kingdom, it all happened so fast. At first, they only felt the earth shaking violently, and then a huge tree rose up.
Before they could even react to what was happening, hundreds of vines and branches sprouted from the tree, accompanied by terrifying roars and howls. Then they witnessed a scene they would never forget in their lives!
One by one, the vines pierced through the nobles, ninjas, and samurai. Some of them were still struggling, and some were still wailing. But in the next instant, those who were once high above and didn't treat them like human beings were all hanging under the trees!
