I became Hokage in Tokyo

Chapters 146 and 148: Let's set off for America!

In Japan, there's nothing that a bow and apology can't solve; if there is, then a dogeza (a deep bow in apology) will suffice.

However, the colossal lie told by the archaeological genius Shinichi Fujimura had such a terrible impact that even after the deception was exposed, and despite his tearful apology at a press conference, he was still prosecuted by the police.

Finally, this archaeology genius was diagnosed with dissociative identity disorder and sent to a mental hospital in Fukushima Prefecture.

The archaeologists present looked gloomy when they thought about this ancient stone tool forgery incident.

The year the forgery was exposed was the darkest moment for the entire Japanese archaeological community, and many colleagues were ashamed to mention to others that they were engaged in archaeological work.

The archaeologist, of course, would not bring up this embarrassing incident. He simply introduced the methods for dating Stone Age artifacts.

"Oh, I see."

After listening to the explanation, the Metropolitan Police Department officials were greatly disappointed and sat back down.

"The stone bowl appears to be made of marble, but its Mohs hardness is extraordinary, reaching 10, which is the hardest natural material, diamond."

"The stone bowl shows no signs of human carving; it looks as if it were formed naturally, truly a masterpiece of nature."

After the stone bowl in front of the Buddha was delivered to the secret base overnight, all the researchers were mobilized to work overtime to test the stone bowl.

In the laboratory, the stone bowl did not emit golden Buddhist light as before, and it did not seem to have any supernatural properties. However, after examination, it revealed its extraordinary nature in every aspect.

"This is truly remarkable!"

"As expected of the collection of King Yama, it is truly extraordinary."

"What's most special is what that superhuman Afei said: the stone bowl in front of the Buddha can give people healing superhuman abilities."

When this topic comes up, the high-ranking officers of the Metropolitan Police Department all have different thoughts, and there is an undisguised burning desire in their eyes.

"cough."

The Metropolitan Police Department Commissioner, who was sitting at the front of the conference room, tapped on the table, and the noise in the room subsided.

"How is Dr. Satomi doing now? What level has his supernatural ability reached?" the Superintendent General asked.

"We have convinced Dr. Satomi to cooperate with our laboratory in conducting experiments. Dr. Satomi's extraordinary abilities can effectively heal external injuries."

A researcher in a white coat stood up and replied, "We also brought in a patient with late-stage cancer. Dr. Satomi was exhausted after seventeen minutes of treatment, claiming he had run out of strength and could not continue. He is currently resting. We examined the patient's condition, and the cancer has been alleviated. With a few more treatments, it may even be possible for him to recover to the early stage of cancer."

"The Ghost Doctor almost cured the cancer in just a few minutes. It seems Dr. Satomi is still far inferior to the Ghost Doctor." The Superintendent General's eyes showed disappointment, but he quickly cheered up again.

Even if he is not as good as the Ghost Doctor, Dr. Satomi is still invaluable, both as a superhuman and for his ability to cure terminal illnesses.

"Dr. Satomi gained extraordinary abilities from the stone bowl in front of the Buddha; it shouldn't just be able to heal external injuries and cancer. We should also prepare a few patients with other ailments, and see if we can treat them once Dr. Satomi recovers," the Metropolitan Police Department Inspector gave the order.

The researchers immediately nodded to indicate that they understood.

"This time, whether it's obtaining extraordinary items or bringing the newly transformed Dr. Satomi under our control, it's the first time since the 19th year of the Heisei era that such a groundbreaking event has occurred!"

Although the Superintendent General's temples were gray, his piercing eyes gave him a dignified air. He summarized:

"Yesterday's operation was undoubtedly a major victory!"

The high-ranking officials and experts from the Metropolitan Police Department present couldn't help but applaud.

"Clap clap clap!"

There was thunderous applause.

Yes, ever since the emergence of superhumans, the Metropolitan Police Department has been constantly humiliated, being toyed with like a cat playing with a mouse by the superhumans.

Yesterday, however, the Metropolitan Police Department achieved remarkable results at the Medical University Affiliated Hospital. For the first time, they acquired a supernatural item and had their own superhuman for the first time. The combination of these two joys greatly boosted the morale of the Metropolitan Police Department.

During the Minamoto no Yorimitsu armor revival incident at the museum, the stationed police officers escorted in an "Onmyoji," much to the delight of the Metropolitan Police Department, which immediately investigated the background of the fat otaku thoroughly.

From his entire life story from birth to adulthood, to his family members, ancestral home, interpersonal relationships, and even his online data, everything was laid bare. The Metropolitan Police Department even knew more about how many scripts and adult films he had downloaded than he did himself.

It turned out to be a big misunderstanding.

That fat otaku wasn't a superhuman at all; he was just an ordinary mortal. He's still being held captive in this secret base.

"However, after the opportunity comes the challenge!"

The Superintendent of Police's face darkened:

"Don't forget, everyone, there are others coveting this stone bowl in front of the Buddha. That extraordinary organization called Xiao, and that extraordinary individual named Afei, could come and snatch this stone bowl at any time."

The joy on the faces of the Metropolitan Police Department's high-ranking officials gradually faded.

Of the four extraordinary individuals who have appeared so far, apart from Master Jiraiya, the other three—Itachi, Sasori of the Red Sand, and Tobi—not only belong to the Akatsuki organization, but their attitudes toward the government are also clearly hostile rather than friendly.

Even that seemingly unserious Ah Fei showed off his teleportation skills when he left.

The most troublesome ability displayed by these elusive superhumans is teleportation.

Having the ability to teleport makes one invincible.

Who knows if Afei will teleport into this secret base any second now.

"Our Metropolitan Police Department must strengthen its security measures; we absolutely cannot let Afei find this place."

"That Tobi has an eye called the Sharingan, which could very well be like Itachi's ability to manipulate minds, just like the one who infiltrated the Fifth Division," said Senmon Uchiha, who was also attending the meeting.

"Besides you and me, and everyone here, quite a few people within the Metropolitan Police Department know about this, and know the exact location of this secret base."

Hearing what Uchiha Senmon said, many people frowned.

Teleportation is already overpowered enough, but when combined with mental manipulation, it becomes virtually unstoppable.

"The Sharingan possessed by these two extraordinary individuals is truly mysterious and powerful."

Uchiha Senmon blinked, a hint of regret in his voice:

"Unfortunately, the details of the clan's origins were erased during Afei's conversation with the train. If we knew their specific surnames, we might have a better strategy."

The Superintendent General glanced at Uchiha Senmon with surprise. Just as he was about to say something, the conference room door was pushed open, and a general in a U.S. military uniform walked in.

"Where are the super-powered doctor and the magical artifacts? Get ready, I've already assembled the latest fighter squadron, let's depart now."

"Where to?"

"America!"
