I became Hokage in Tokyo

Chapters 171 and 173: A Hundred-Mile Raid

Damn!

Unexpectedly, the duck that was about to be eaten was snatched away by a monster trafficker who appeared out of nowhere.

"Kakushi, let's talk this over. As long as you don't touch the monsters in the shelter, I'll give you whatever price you want!"

Naruto Uchiha asked Chairman Hyoudou to stall for time while he thought of a solution.

He drove his Ferrari at speeds exceeding 200 kilometers per hour for over two hours to reach Gokurakugu in Yoro Valley, Chiba Prefecture. It was simply impossible for him to get from Gokurakugu to an underground shelter in the suburbs of Tokyo in such a short time.

"Chairman Hyodo, there's a bounty of over 400 million on the dark web for a monster under five years old. Orochi has 24 monsters hiding in the sanctuary, including three that are over ten years old. How much are you planning to pay me?" Kakuyuki's words revealed a hint of interest.

"You, name your price! I won't haggle!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, as expected of Chairman Hyodo of the Black Emperor Society, he's really rich and powerful! Even if you were asked to come up with tens of billions of yen in liquid funds, it wouldn't be a big problem for you."

Jiao Xing feigned a sigh on the phone, then changed the subject, saying:

"But this is a matter between us yokai. What business is Chairman Hyoudou, a human, getting involved in? There must be more to this than meets the eye, right?"

"Well, if you want to hear it, I can tell you. It all started three years ago..." Chairman Hyodo tried his best to stall for time.

"Kaku-ko, all the monsters in the Orochi organization have been captured. The vehicles are ready. It's time to depart!" A strange voice came from the phone.

"I understand! Chairman Hyoudou, let me tell you a truth. In the world of yokai, money is just worthless paper; only power is everything."

After uttering those last words, Jiao Xing hung up the phone decisively.

"Although I love money, it's only out of interest and hobby. But these monsters are extremely useful to me, so I'm sorry, I can't sell them to you! Chairman Hyoudou, let's do business again next time."

When he dialed the number again, it showed that the other party's phone was switched off. Chairman Hyodo stared blankly, his fingers loosened, and the phone fell to the ground with a sound.

"Hmph, Horned One! How dare you snatch food from a tiger's mouth! You're courting death! I was worried that those twenty or thirty monsters wouldn't be enough for me to activate my Kaleidoscope, but with you, this great monster, it should be enough!"

Naruto Uchiha's expression turned cold as he glanced around.

Seeing the mountain of Fukuzawa Yukichi's chips on the cart, he threw the dozen or so million yen chips he had won from pachinko onto it, and then took the same number of bundles, which was thirteen million yen.

There were still tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars left, but Naruto Uchiha had already lost interest in money.

"Earth Release: Rock Collapse!"

Naruto Uchiha slammed his palm into the ground, causing the arena to shake violently and the stands to begin to collapse.

He leaped into the air, formed hand seals, and spat out a raging fire dragon that descended from the sky, engulfing the entire collapsed arena in flames.

"Fire Release: Great Fire Dragon Technique!"

After destroying all evidence, Uchiha Naruto hovered in the air, his hands clasped together:

"untie!"

The next moment, Naruto Uchiha's figure turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared into the air.

"Um?"

Meanwhile, at the Uchiha mansion in Nakano Ward, Tokyo, Uchiha Naruto, who was flipping through the Metropolitan Police Department's scrolls in his room, looked up thoughtfully in the direction of Chiba.

The moment he realized the shadow clone had disappeared, a piece of information entered Uchiha Naruto's brain.

"I never expected something like this to happen! Now is not the time to leisurely read a book."

Naruto Uchiha only sent out a shadow clone tonight; his real body is still in Tokyo. If he goes there now, he might still make it in time.

The situation was extremely urgent. Naruto Uchiha jumped out of the window, used the Transparent Release to conceal his figure, and then disappeared into the night sky.

It only took half an hour to get from the Uchiha residence in Nakano Ward to the border between Itabashi Ward and Kita Ward.

In this remote suburban area, where the residential area was originally separated by barbed wire, the barbed wire has been flattened for some reason, and layers of messy tire tracks have covered it.

In the very center of the barbed wire fence is an inconspicuous bungalow, which serves as the entrance to the underground shelter.

Naruto Uchiha landed at the door and glanced inside. He saw that the door had been violently opened and the inside was in a mess, clearly indicating that the place was deserted.

"Spiritual communication!"

Naruto Uchiha bit the tip of his thumb, pressed it to the ground, and immediately summoned the ninja dog Tsunayoshi!

"Woof woof!"

As soon as the ninja dog Tsunayoshi appeared, he wagged his tail and rushed over enthusiastically, licking Uchiha Naruto wildly.

"Alright, Tsuna, I didn't summon you here to play around."

Naruto Uchiha waved his hand, and Tsunayoshi, seeing this, also became serious, obediently sitting on the ground with a serious expression on his face.

"Tsuna, it's up to you again this time. Can your nose detect where the monsters are going? They shouldn't have been gone for more than an hour."

"Woof!"

As if receiving a command, the ninja dog Tsunayoshi excitedly raised his head and puffed out his chest, wagged his tail, and then sniffed around at the entrance of the underground shelter.

"Woof! Woof! Woof!"

Less than a minute later, Tsuna cried out alertly, pounced at Naruto's feet, and barked repeatedly in several different directions.

Naruto Uchiha, through the summoning jutsu, roughly understood what the ninja dog Tsunayoshi meant.

"You mean to say that the monsters here were split into two groups and transported out from different directions?" Uchiha Naruto asked, frowning.

If that's the case, then it's a bit tricky.

Naruto Uchiha possesses the Shadow Clone Technique, but Tsunayoshi does not, making him unable to create clones. Furthermore, if Naruto were to use the Beast Mimicry Ninjutsu, the human nose would not be able to withstand the strong olfactory stimulation.

"Forget it, a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. Let's chase one of them first. If we finish this quickly, we might be able to catch up with the second group."

There was little time to hesitate. Naruto Uchiha picked up Tsunayoshi and took to the air, speeding towards a scent it was tracking.

Along the Metropolitan Route 5, Uchiha Naruto flew over a hundred kilometers in one go, leaving Tokyo and arriving in Saitama Prefecture.

It was late at night, almost midnight, and there were very few cars on the national highway in Saitama Prefecture. Uchiha Naruto quickly spotted a heavy-duty container truck, guided by his ninja dog Tsunayoshi.

"Is this the one?"

"Woof!"

Having received Tsunayoshi's confirmation and seeing that no one was around, Uchiha Naruto let loose and spoke without any hesitation:

"Great Fireball Technique!"

A huge fireball fell from the sky, streaking across the night like a meteor, and flew toward the front of the container truck.

"boom!"
