I became Hokage in Tokyo

Chapter 172 Chapter 174 Earthly Resentment

"boom!"

The fireball landed on the ground near the truck's cab on Baiqing Road, and flames rose several meters high, blazing and shooting straight towards the Milky Way.

Naruto Uchiha intended to force the heavy truck to stop, which is why he didn't blow it up directly.

The container truck was jolted to the right by the shockwave of the explosion, bursting out of the wall of fire and crashing headlong into a roadside gas station forty or fifty meters away.

Naruto Uchiha frowned slightly, then used the Light-Heavy Rock Technique to accelerate suddenly, landing in front of the container truck at lightning speed.

"Earth Release·Earth Spear!"

Uchiha Naruto let out a low shout, his entire body turning a rock-like bronze color, and he threw a punch!

"boom!"

A tremendous roar, like a meteorite hitting the Earth, resounded through the sky.

The cab of the 20-ton container truck was twisted and deformed, the vehicle overturned, and sparks flew as the truck body rubbed against the ground, sliding erratically for more than ten meters.

"That's really impressive! If it were a regular sedan, it could probably be stopped without moving."

Naruto Uchiha shook his numb fist, and the huge recoil pushed him back five or six meters, his feet sinking into the ground of Baiqing Road.

The deafening crash quickly attracted the attention of gas station staff nearby.

Someone was peeking out of the door, seemingly trying to call the police.

It didn't matter, though. Naruto Uchiha was aiming for a quick victory. Even if the police arrived, he would have already made his escape.

"Clang! Clang!"

The truck door was twisted and deformed, and a figure in a black suit smashed the windshield and appeared in front of Uchiha Naruto.

"Kakuyuki?"

Naruto Uchiha raised his chin and asked casually.

The figure in the black suit was tall, with limbs that were slightly longer than normal. He wore gloves and had a strange mask on his face. Not an inch of his skin was exposed.

"I didn't expect a superhuman to know me? Did you get this information from Chairman Hyodo, catching up to me at this time?"

Noh is a type of classical Japanese musical theater performed with masks. Its theme is to depict the dialogue between humans and spirits. It is known as the art of yūgen, and the Noh mask image naturally feels very earthy.

Just like the bizarre and eerie underworld performance at the opening ceremony of the Tokyo Olympics, it was eerily sinister.

The mask worn by Kakugyo is a middle-ranking general mask among male masks. It appears to be smiling, but the corners of its eyes seem to be weeping, and it is indescribably eerie and terrifying at night.

"Chairman Hyodo is truly powerful. Not only does he have connections with monster forces like Orochi, but he's even gotten involved with the path of the superhumans. I'm very curious, where did you superhuman freaks come from? Is it really that so-called Heavenly Realm?" Kaku asked in its strange Osaka accent.

In the crimson Sharingan, three black tomoe slowly rotated.

Naruto Uchiha had tried to hypnotize Kakuyuki with Sharingan genjutsu more than once, but whether it was the Noh mask on Kakuyuki's face that blocked his vision or something strange about his body, the Sharingan was ineffective.

"Forget it, let's finish this quickly. There's another team we need to chase."

Naruto Uchiha showed no intention of answering Kagaku's question, exuding a chilling killing intent as he slowly approached.

"boom!"

The chin of the lieutenant general on the horned face split open, and fireballs the size of footballs were continuously blasted out of his mouth.

Naruto Uchiha's wrists turned blue as he shattered the fireballs one by one. Chakra erupted from his feet in an instant, and with a quick movement, he closed in and delivered a punch powerful enough to pierce through metal and stone, striking Kakuyuki in the chest.

Jiao Xing was sent flying more than ten meters backward by the blow!

"Hmm? Something doesn't feel right."

Naruto Uchiha narrowed his eyes slightly. The punch he had just received did not seem to have hit flesh, but rather an unidentified object that was full of toughness and elasticity.

But he didn't pay much attention and leaped into the air to continue the pursuit.

The punch just now smashed a large hole in the chest of the horned man's black suit, and countless black tentacles crawled out of the hole and were still wriggling, which was terrifying to look at.

The black tentacles intertwined and stabbed at Uchiha Naruto with lightning speed.

"This is……?"

Although confident in his ability to defend against the Earth Spear Technique, Naruto Uchiha was unwilling to be touched by these strange and disgusting black tentacles, and his body flew backward through the air.

The black tentacles swayed back and forth in the air like living things, but Naruto Uchiha hovered twenty meters above the ground, a height that was beyond its reach.

"What kind of monster are you?"

"Hehehe..."

Kakuzoku let out a strange laugh, and his black suit began to swell like a leather bag. It was soon torn apart, and countless thin black tentacles twisted and tangled together, turning into a pitch-black monster wearing a vice admiral's mask.

A strong sense of déjà vu arose in Uchiha Naruto's mind.

"Although the mask is different, isn't this a clone created by Kakuzu using the Earth Grudge Fear Technique?"

Kakuzu opened his mouth, a flash of fire appeared, and after charging for a few seconds, a huge fireball with a diameter of more than three meters condensed in front of his mouth and smashed toward Uchiha Naruto with tremendous force.

"Kakuyo's Fire Release technique is only at the Chunin level. Compared to the Uchiha clan, who are skilled in Fire Release, it's just showing off his limited skills."

Naruto Uchiha sneered, and after his hands formed a dazzling array of hand seals, he spat out a fireball the size of a fist.

"Fire Release: Head Carving!"

The fireball shattered the massive fireball in mid-air and then slammed directly into Jiao Xing's body, like a fierce artillery barrage. The fire waves swept in all directions, instantly turning into a sea of ​​fire.

In the very center of the inferno was a giant crater five meters in diameter.

Naruto Uchiha's current power is overwhelmingly strong against demons; even those so-called great demons cannot pose the slightest threat to him.

"That's all there is to it."

Naruto Uchiha glanced at the large crater where he had been standing, then flew to the overturned container truck.

He landed on the ground, looked at the container, and was about to do something when suddenly, dozens of black tentacles shot out from inside the container!

The metal of the container was pierced as if it were made of paper, and even Uchiha Naruto was pierced through.

"Hahaha! Even superhumans wouldn't guess that my true form was hidden in the car... wait..."

The arrogant laughter lasted only a few seconds before it began to turn into suspicion.

Naruto Uchiha, whose vital organs had been pierced by more than a dozen black tentacles, suddenly turned into smoke, and was replaced by a half-meter-high wooden stake.

"Heh, I knew you'd pull this trick. It's been a long time since I've used the Substitute Technique."

Naruto Uchiha appeared out of nowhere, a dozen meters away from the container, and spat out a jet of ultra-high pressure water that pierced straight through the container.

"Water Release: Water Severing Wave!"
