Chapter 18: Chapter 18: Without Regret
With what Uchiha Tian** had just done in his store in plain sight, even if Uchiha Noboru wanted to distort the truth it was no longer possible and would only continue to damage the Uchiha's reputation.
Siding with his men and protecting the Uchiha's reputation.
Uchiha Noboru certainly had a clear idea of what was more important, and under the strange gazes of the many villagers around him, he said with a dark face, "Take this embarrassing fool back."
After saying that, he immediately disappeared with his Body-Flicker Technique.
In this matter today, he was considered to have lost all his face, not only did he offend Chizuru, it also earned him a stain of incompetence.
The former, he didn't care, because Chizuru was still only a 6 year old kid, her strength was far inferior to his, with the patriarch's character, he definitely wouldn't do anything to him as a jonin, but the latter, he couldn't ignore it, once this stigma appeared, it would definitely seriously affect his position and promotion in the police department.
"Bastard, this guy Tian indeed do deserve to die, there is that brat, who deserves to die, the most deserved is this girl Chizuru, a white-eyed wolf, even help outsiders, this kind of guy will actually get the family's intense training, ridiculous."
Uchiha Noboru and his men came to a deserted alley, then punched the wall, he stared at Uchiha Tian who was cowering at the moment and didn't dare to look at him, secretly hating him.
On the other hand, after the departure of the Police Force squad led by Uchiha Noboru, the crowd of onlookers dispersed, and then talked and laughed about the incident that had occurred, quickly spreading the word about this incident, the villagers were happy to see such a thing as disgracing the Uchiha.
"Chizuru, thank you for stepping in, thanks to you I was saved."
Kirito thanked Chizuru, then smiled and thanked Uchiha Kari.
Although he was certain that he would be able to get out of the hands of the Police Force by relying on Mito's connections, he would definitely have to suffer a lot of pain before that.
Therefore, he had to thank Chizuru who had righteously stepped in this time.
"Thank you, Ms. Chizuru."
As the store owner, Yakushi Nono, she also stepped forward and bowed to Chizuru as a gesture of gratitude.
"There's no need to thank me, I just don't want a scum to tarnish the honor of the Uchiha, let's go, Kari."
Chizuru shook her head coldly.
"Ha, my lady."
Uchiha Kari responded immediately, not saying a word to Kirito and the others since the beginning, just standing silently behind Chizuru.
As the two were about to leave, a child quickly came to Chizuru, the same little boy who had almost been attacked by Uchiha earlier.
The little boy's name was Konoha Kazuya, he had just turned 5 a week ago, and like Yakushi Nono, he was a very knowledgable, intelligent and action packed child, but unfortunately had no ninja talent.
"Stand back, what are you doing?"
Uchiha Kari instantly stepped in front of Chizuru, coldly addressing Konoha Kazuya, who had suddenly approached.
Kazuya had just witnessed Uchiha Kari manipulating Uchiha Tada with his illusion technique and understood that Uchiha Kari was a very scary ninja, and now that he was being stared at by the other party with a cold face, he couldn't help but take a few steps back in fear.
"Back off Kari, He isn't the enemy."
Chizuru chided.
"Ha~"
Uchiha Kari rejoined behind Chizuru.
Seeing this, Kazuya gave Chizuru a happy smile as he quickly stepped forward and took out something he had hidden behind him and said to Chizuru with a smile, "Thank you for saving me just now, Chizuru-sama, this is for you."
Kazuya's thank you gift was a beautifully crafted fox mask, it had minor scratches on it, but the entire mask had been wiped clean, and it was obvious at a glance that it was usually well loved by its owner.
This fox mask was Kazuya's treasure, a birthday present that Kirito had paid for.
As Chizuru looked at the fox mask Kazuya handed over, her mind couldn't help but recall memories of a time when her parents had accompanied her on a shopping spree during the holidays, when she seemed to have owned a similar fox mask.
It was a very valuable thing, right?
Could she really take it?
"Take it, it's a thank you gift from Kazuya, if you don't take it, the boy might hide in the corner and cry later."
Kirito said as he saw Chizuru showing a hesitant expression.
"I, I'm not going to cry my eyes out, stupid big brother Kirito, I remember two months ago, big brother Kirito was still wetting the bed, and also, a week ago you went to the bathhouse, oooooh ..."
Kazuya said with a red face in shame.
"Idiot, I've said it before, that was when I got up at night to drink water and accidentally spilled water."
With his black history being dug up, Kirito was shocked and furious, and hurriedly covered Kazuya's mouth with his hand to stop him from continuing to blab.
"Then I'll be polite."
Chizuru was in an inexplicably good mood when he saw the two fighting, the corners of her mouth curved slightly and she decided to take Kazuya's mask.
Kazuya was very happy to hear that and immediately gave the mask away with both hands.
"..."
Uchiha Kari saw Chizuru putting the mask precious into her arms, her eyelids drooping slightly, a hint of sadness flashing in her eyes.
After Chizuru received the mask, she quickly left with Uchiha Kari.
"Go back."
Once Chizuru was gone, Kirito said to the crowd around him.
Then, he said to Kawaki, who was preparing to quietly walk away, "Future Hokage-sama, remember to pay your bill before you leave."
"Nosy, of course I'll settle the bill."
Kawaki gnashed his teeth.
...
At night, in the Uchiha clan land, Naka Shrine, an underground space reinforced by sealing jutsu.
A naked man was tied to a stake, and by now he was bruised and battered, his body was covered in bloody whip marks.
This person was none other than Uchiha Tian.
The person who was torturing him at that moment was an Uchiha with an evil spirit mask on his face.
He was obviously a person who was very good at using the whip, and every time he swung the whip, he was able to hit Uchiha Tian on top of the skin that was still intact.
There were torture victims and executioners here, and naturally there were also spectators, and there were quite a few of them, all of them were Uchiha, and without exception they were all Uchiha who had opened their Sharingan.
Uchiha Homura was sitting right in the middle of these people, staring coldly at the tortured Uchiha Tian like most of the Uchiha present.
Chizuru, on the other hand, sat to his left, wearing a delicate fox mask on his face.
"Lord Clan Chief, I was wrong, please forgive me."
Uchiha Tian at this time had just lost his usual arrogant and domineering temper when facing ordinary villagers, facing the increasingly severe punishment, he couldn't support himself and began to admit his mistake and begged for forgiveness.
Uchiha Homura asked expressionlessly, "What was the mistake?"
"I shouldn't have struck out at Ms. Chizuru, please spare me, I won't dare to do it again."
Uchiha Tian immediately replied.
"Ah!!!"
As soon as these words came out, the person who was executing him immediately increased his hand by a few points, and also aimed to lash at a certain place on his body with the most serious injuries, which caused Uchiha Tian to let out a heart-breaking scream, and then actually fainted directly from the pain.
"Puh~"
A bucket of water was thrown on Uchiha Tian face, causing him to come back to his senses.
At that moment, he saw a child wearing a fox mask appear in front of him.
Although the person in front of him was wearing a mask, Uchiha Tian was able to recognize who the other person was at first glance by her size.
Uchiha Chizuru, she was the only one among the Uchiha clansmen who could qualify to come to the Naka Shrine to conduct an assembly at such a young age.
At the same time, he also realized that all the other clansmen here were gone except for him and Chizuru.
"This brat is still a naive fellow, if I just sell myself short and beg for forgiveness now, she'll surely forgive me, right?"
Uchida thought so.
So, he said to Chizuru with a crying face, "I was wrong, Miss Chizuru, please forgive me, I was out of breath before I did that great disrespectful thing, please forgive me once, I will definitely obey you in the future ..."
"Let me ask you this, if no one had stepped in to stop you at the time, what would you have done to that child?"
Chizuru asked as she interrupted Uchihaeda's words and stared into Uchiha Tian's eyes with her Sharingan.
What?
What kind of question was that?
Uchiha Tian couldn't figure out for a moment why Chizuru would ask him such a stupid question, it's just a outsider kid, so what's the big deal if he beats him up.
Wasn't the other party getting back at him because he did something big and disrespectful to her?
"I see, is that your answer."
In the next moment, before Uchiha Tian could answer he heard Chizuru utter such a sentence.
Then, with a pain in his chest, he spat out blood and looked with disbelief at Chizuru, who was at that moment piercing his chest with a kunai.
As his consciousness disappeared, he vaguely saw a new hooked jade appear in the pair of Sharingan that revealed sadness as they watched him die.
"Even if it's a trash who tarnished the family's honor and died, it's still heartbreaking."
Chizuru murmured as she looked at the dead Uchida.
Although her heart aches, she has no regrets.
