I became Hokage in Tokyo

Chapters 170 and 172: First to the Rescue

"General Herrington has arrived."

General Herrington, who was two meters tall, muscular, and had thick hair like a golden gorilla, sat in the main seat and accepted the banquet. After he had eaten and drunk his fill, he revealed a lewd smile that seemed to possess the soul of a lecher.

"No, why? Why today!?"

In order to protect the Hyodo family business, his mother and new wife were brutally violated by the Americans, and he was forced to play the piano to entertain them. Those days were the darkest moment of Hyodo's life. Even decades later, he still felt extremely humiliated and pained when he thought about it.

But we must be patient!

In Japan during the 20th year of the Showa era, MacArthur was the de facto emperor, and these rice-livestock generals were like local tyrants, whose fates and fortunes could be decided with a single word.

This is a necessary sacrifice!

It's nothing, I've already been through it once!

Despite thinking this, Chairman Hyoudou clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his flesh, and closed his eyes in pain.

"Mr. Hyodo, your son is truly handsome. These days, every general in our country has a copy of 'The Chrysanthemum and the Sword.' However, there are still some parts I don't understand. I'd like to learn some Japanese from your son and discuss 'The Chrysanthemum and the Sword'!"

General Herrington looked at Chairman Hyodo, grinned, and lewdly said.

Wait a minute! Why me?!

Chairman Hyodo suddenly opened his eyes, his face filled with disbelief and shock.

"Of course, no problem! My wife and daughter-in-law are both very good at playing the sanxian, a traditional Chinese stringed instrument. Let them play for General Herrington to entertain him!" Chairman Hyodo's father readily agreed.

"No, no! Help!"

Chairman Hyodo began to wail in despair, but he was still pulled into the arms of the tall and strong General Herrington like an eagle snatching a chick, and dragged into the room.

"Aaaaaahh ...

…………

Next, Chairman Hyodo experienced the bubble economy period, where he poured his entire fortune into real estate, the Black Emperor Association went bankrupt, and he committed suicide by jumping off a building amidst the betrayal of his friends and family.

Or perhaps it was a tragedy more than twenty years ago, when Chairman Hyodo was caught in an incestuous relationship by his eldest son, and when he tried to fight back with his cane, he was beaten to death by his eldest son's fists.

After repeatedly tormenting himself in various illusions, Chairman Hyodo's energy and spirit were completely exhausted. He sat in his wheelchair with his head tilted to the side, his eyes glazed over, and drool dripped from the corner of his mouth, wetting a large area of ​​his chest.

If the once frail and elderly Chairman Hyoudou still retained some of his evil and dignified aura, he is now completely senile.

"It's a living hell, I can't even die. Maybe it would be easier if a demon bit my neck and ripped out my guts." The three black tomoe in Uchiha Naruto's eyes kept turning.

From the very beginning, Naruto Uchiha used his Sharingan to control Chairman Hyoudou.

However, Naruto Uchiha did not want Chairman Hyoudou to die so easily. Instead, he used genjutsu to make Chairman Hyoudou keep getting trapped in a modified nightmare, which eventually turned him into a person with dementia.

"It turns out that the remnants of the Tokyo Monster Organization are hiding in Chairman Hyodo's underground shelter."

Naruto Uchiha easily obtained the coordinates of the underground shelter, and a hint of fervor appeared in his eyes.

According to Chairman Hyodo's secret calculations, there should be between twenty and thirty monsters in the underground shelter, and even the death of Higuchi Orochi is unknown.

Naruto Uchiha paced excitedly in the stands, when he inadvertently spotted Hakujiro in the arena and frowned.

Without hesitation, Shiro raised his claws and ripped himself open, his internal organs spilling out onto the ground.

Thirty Ninja Orbs would be helpful for upgrading LV3 skills, which now often require thousands of Ninja Orbs, but since Naruto Uchiha already has more than five LV3 skills, it's just a drop in the ocean.

However, if we can eliminate the monsters in the shelter, the accumulated Ninja Orbs might be able to unlock the Kaleidoscope.

"The last bit of value Chairman Hyodo has left is to lure out that monster-trafficking swindler, Kakuyuki."

A strange red light flashed in Naruto Uchiha's crimson eyes. Hyodo's eyes were glazed over. He reached out and shakily fumbled in his pocket for a while, then took out a cell phone and began to dial a number.

"Beep beep beep—"

After a few rings, a deep, hoarse voice came from the phone:

"Chairman Hyoudou?"

The tone of his voice was a bit strange, sounding like an Osaka accent.

Naruto Uchiha frowned, not only because of Kakuyuki's strange Osaka accent, but also because of the screams and roars in the background of the phone call that were not human.

However, considering that this horned man was selling monsters, Uchiha Naruto didn't take it seriously.

Naruto Uchiha remained silent for a moment, preparing to manipulate Chairman Hyodo to place an order and schedule a time to lure Kakugoro out.

"Just talking," Kakuyuki chuckled on the phone, continuing in his peculiar Osaka accent.

"President Hyodo, calling me at this hour, looks like you've found out! You secretly hid a camera in the underground shelter, haven't you? Humans are so petty. But even if you've found out now, it's too late!"

What does that mean?

"Chairman Hyodo, you've got quite a few monsters hiding in this underground shelter. I'll just take them all without any hesitation. Hmm, this monster's abilities are pretty good; I'll keep its heart."

"Damn it! Horned Star, you bastard! I will never let you get away with this!"

Uchiha Naruto's expression turned solemn, and a flash of red light appeared in his Sharingan eyes. Chairman Hyoudou immediately shouted a reprimand.

"President Hyodo, don't be so angry! You've taken advantage of me quite a bit. I practically gave you those two monsters for free, otherwise why would the price be so low?"

There was a hint of smugness in Kakugo's Osaka accent:

"I didn't expect it to be so easy. Chairman Hyoudou, your confidant isn't very discreet. After a few simple interrogations, he spilled the location. This is a very profitable business, the profits are too high, so I won't hold back."

Uchiha Naruto's expression changed slightly as the monster dealer beat him to it, and he controlled Chairman Hyoudou to speak:

"Kakuyuki, you'd better think this through. These monsters are backed by Higuchi Orochi! If you want money, I can give it to you, I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"

"Hmph, Higuchi Orochi, that self-righteous fool has been out of contact for a week now, and he's probably in dire straits himself. After all, Tokyo is going through a very turbulent time right now, and I took a great risk to sneak in this time." Kakuyuki's voice was somewhat disdainful as he sneered.

"Besides, that venomous snake is only good at self-preservation. It's just the weakest of us great demons. Even if it comes looking for me, I won't be afraid!"
