I became Hokage in Tokyo

Chapters 109-111: The Great Battle Ends, Blessings Abound from Earth and Land

practice?

The bigwigs in the secret base had their eyes shining, licking the wrinkled, sagging faces of those old men like lapdogs, wishing they could shout out the words "I do!" for Yuuji Kanbara.

Master Dilu, no, the Holy Monk, has demonstrated true cultivation with the indestructible Vajra and the Dharma form of a Vidyaraja. What a rare blessing it is to be able to follow behind the Holy Monk and listen to the Dharma!

At that moment, they all wished they could take his place.

However, Yuji Kanbara touched his fluffy black hair, hesitated for a moment, and declined:

"Thank you for your kindness, Holy Monk, but I have no intention of becoming a Buddhist monk."

Master Dilu was also a little surprised:

Why?

"After my divorce, my daughter lived with her. She also inherited my frizzy hair, so I don't want to cut it."

Yuji Kambara said with a relaxed smile:

"Besides, I don't have the awareness of being a monk. There are still many things I can't let go of. Being an ordinary layperson is just fine."

Uchiha Naruto nodded and said nothing more.

Twisted melons are not sweet.

The reason why Uchiha Naruto took a liking to Kanbara Yuuji was because Kanbara Yuuji's reputation with "Chirai" had reached the level of worship. Uchiha Naruto was also considering finding an opportunity to plant his own mole within the Metropolitan Police Department.

It's just unexpected that Yuji Kanbara himself was unwilling to become a superhuman. Could this be considered a case of great wisdom appearing as foolishness?

The people in the underground secret base naturally assumed that Yuji Kambara would not refuse, as this was a huge opportunity. They were all secretly calculating how to get a piece of the pie from this. However, the information that came their way was completely unexpected.

Inspector Kambara actually refused!

They used a ridiculously absurd reason.

Inspector Kambara, don't you know about the "Edict on Marriage and Wife-Growing" that was forcibly implemented after the Meiji Restoration?

The Meiji government honored Shintoism as the state religion. In order to suppress Buddhism and undermine the religious sanctity of monks, it allowed monks to choose whether or not to shave their heads. Monks could drink alcohol, eat meat, or even marry, have children, and inherit temple property as they pleased.

Although I don't know how strict the management of the Holy Monk's sect is, it's just a matter of three thousand afflictions.

If you put this opportunity in front of the Prime Minister, even one who cherishes his remaining few hairs as if they were his life, he would gladly agree.

How foolish! How incredibly foolish!

These big shots, who are many levels above Yuuji Kambara, could send a lowly policeman like him crashing into the abyss with a single glance. But now, they can only stare helplessly at the screen, pounding their chests and raging in impotence.

"Haven't you had enough of this farce?! Self-Defense Forces, why aren't you moving in yet?!"

The US general finally lost his temper, slamming his fist on the control panel and yelling at the defense minister.

The Defense Minister stroked his mustache and replied:

"The advance team mentioned the presence of toxic and hazardous substances at the site, and I've already ordered people to prepare chemical protective suits..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was rudely interrupted by the American general:

"No need for hazmat suits, let the Self-Defense Forces go straight in!"

"But……"

"No buts! Look at that police officer in the satellite image, he's alive and well, isn't he? Now! Immediately! Right now!"

The Defense Minister was sprayed with spittle, but he didn't even wipe his face, displaying the demeanor of a gentleman who would let the insults dry, and turned to look at the Prime Minister.

Seeing the Prime Minister nod, he could only lower his head and say, "Alright."

The American general turned his head and stared intently at the monk named Dilu.

Because of his devout faith in Yahweh, he was not afraid of these devil's tricks.

Apart from a few key personnel in command, the rest of the Self-Defense Forces dispatched there were all from the local area.

The 35,000 American soldiers stationed on the island nation are the backbone of protecting world freedom and peace. How can they be wasted so easily? When facing mysterious and unpredictable superhumans, the island nation's cannon fodder will definitely be sent first!

The United States will never acknowledge these demons, the superhumans, until the last member of the Self-Defense Forces dies!

In Ota Ward, the Self-Defense Forces were once again mobilized. Under increasing pressure from higher authorities, a small team of about twenty fully armed men advanced stealthily, trying to avoid stepping on the iron sand.

They also brought along a negotiation expert, who had a large head, a thick neck, and a booming voice—his throat was practically an amplifier.

"Master Dilu, we come with goodwill and respect; we are here to help you—"

"We have prepared a top-notch medical team. As long as Master Di Lu cooperates, we can immediately transfer him to the hospital by helicopter for treatment!"

"Master Dilu, please have faith in us!"

As the Self-Defense Force members slowly approached, looking as if facing a formidable enemy, Yuji Kambara felt both nervous and somewhat dismissive.

A holy monk like Master Dilu, who displays a compassionate heart through swift and decisive actions, would never harm ordinary people like you.

"Holy Monk, please heed my advice and go to the hospital first. Your injuries are truly serious!"

"No need. The injuries and poison I suffered are beyond the reach of the mortal world to heal." Master Dilu coughed lightly, a trace of crimson blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

He gestured for Yuji Kambara to extend his right hand.

Master Jiriku grasped Yuji Kanbara's right palm, while drawing a Buddhist swastika on his palm with his other hand.

"I'm about to return to the Temple of Fire to rest for a while. Before I leave, I'll give you this '卍' as a token of my appreciation; it will protect you once on the most dangerous day."

The swastika in Yuji Kambara's palm shone brightly, as if it were drawn with gold paint, shimmering with a gentle spiritual light.

After saying this, Master Jiraiya gently pushed Yuuji Kanbara aside, sat cross-legged on the ground, and clasped his hands together:

"Though countless, innumerable, and boundless sentient beings are thus liberated, in reality, no sentient being is liberated..."

"In reality, there are no sentient beings whom the Tathagata liberates. If there were sentient beings whom the Tathagata liberates, then the Tathagata would also have a concept of self, others, sentient beings, and life span..."

As Master Dilu chanted the Diamond Sutra, blazing flames began to rise from beneath his feet. The sacred flames, like lotus flowers or Buddha's light, surrounded him and made him dance.

Master Dilu's tall body gradually turned into sparks and drifted into the air, but he showed no sign of pain. Instead, he chanted scriptures, his eyes filled with compassion and his expression solemn, looking like a saint or a Buddha.

"Amitabha."

A huge flame shaped like a red lotus bloomed in the sky, and a beam of rainbow light shot out from the heart of the lotus and soared into the clouds.

The rainbow light was fleeting, like a flash in the pan.

This sacred scene left the Self-Defense Force members present and the bigwigs watching on screens speechless. Although most of them were not particularly devout, upon seeing this, they couldn't help but clutch their amulets and quietly chant Amitabha.

The magnetic field at the scene had returned to normal, and the bigwigs, seeing the swastika symbol with Shinbara Yuu's hands in a video call, were all excited.

This is a blessing from a holy monk; who knows if it has the miraculous effect of prolonging life and having many children and grandchildren?

"Bring Inspector Kanbara Yuji... no, bring Inspector Kanbara to Senso-ji Temple. We have important matters to discuss with him."
