I became Hokage in Tokyo

Chapters 173-175: The Strange Changes in the Sharingan

"ah--!"

A piercing scream came from inside the container.

Naruto Uchiha remained unmoved, tilting his head to the left as the high-pressure water gun in his mouth continued to cut through the metal of the container, slicing it in two.

The interior was completely exposed to Naruto Uchiha. It was like a spider's nest, with long, thin black tentacles intertwined into a huge spider web. There were black cocoons that seemed to contain something, and there seemed to be living creatures struggling and jumping inside.

At the very center is a pitch-black monster wearing three Noh masks, its body also composed of coiled, tangled black tentacles.

"How dare you kill me twice!"

The Noh face in the very center of the horn is the Sanban Sou of the Ong face, and the one on the right is the Fukui face of the Nü face.

The Noh mask on the left had a large hole in it, from which a murky, viscous black liquid kept oozing out; it was impossible to tell what kind of Noh mask it was.

"Why? Why were you able to see through my disguise hidden inside the carriage?"

Kakugo's Osaka accent was full of surprise and uncertainty. Only a few powerful demons knew a little about the secrets of his magic, but he had no secrets at all in front of the extraordinary person he was meeting for the first time.

Could it be that superhuman beings can predict the future?

Uchiha Naruto's expression was subtle.

The serpent Higuchi, whom they had killed, was also intended to be used to ambush him with a bodily fluid that could evaporate into the air and cause paralysis.

If someone were unaware of the situation and caught off guard, they could indeed be killed on their first encounter. However, Naruto Uchiha was even more knowledgeable about demonic arts (ninjutsu) than the demon himself.

In his previous life, besides comics, he had also read many books on ninjutsu setting formulas, and he knew most ninjutsu like the back of his hand. The Earth Grudge Fear Secret Technique, with its special clones that have different attribute changes, was no exception.

They are naturally invincible in intelligence warfare.

In Naruto, battles between ninjas of similar strength relied heavily on intelligence. However, in the later stages when it came to battles between superhumans, the importance of intelligence decreased significantly, and the competition shifted to which was bigger and cooler: a Gundam or a Rasengan.

However, the one-sided release of information was merely icing on the cake for Uchiha Naruto. Even if he knew nothing about it, killing Kakuyuki would be a piece of cake for him.

Naruto Uchiha remained silent, but his killing intent surged even higher.

Provoked by Uchiha Naruto's killing intent, the third elder in the middle of the group opened his mouth, and a two-meter-long, semi-transparent cyan wind blade whistled down towards Uchiha Naruto.

"Clang!"

Naruto Uchiha calmly raised his right arm to block in front of him, sparks flying from his arm, leaving only a faint white mark on his bronze skin.

"What kind of monster are you!?"

Although he wore a strange and rigid Noh mask, obscuring his expression, Kakuyuki's tone revealed a hint of panic.

"Why do you demons always ask this question? How boring, you're about to die anyway," Uchiha Naruto said calmly.

"Damn it!"

With a curse, the two Noh faces on either side of Sanfan Sou began to struggle, separating from the main body and becoming two separate entities.

"Awoooooo..."

The individual with the damaged mask let out a violent scream, its breath quickly weakening. After struggling a few times, it collapsed to the ground, motionless.

Another black monster wearing the mask of the Deep Well Woman, with a huge body and on all fours, like a rhinoceros or elephant, charged towards Uchiha Naruto!

As the Deep Well Woman's four hooves trampled the mud, rocks followed and clung to her body, with a giant rock horn a meter long emerging from her head.

"Fire Release, Wind Release, next up is Earth Release."

Uchiha Naruto said casually, then tucked the massive horn that was charging at him under his left armpit, and his bronze-colored right fist, carrying an unstoppable and fierce momentum, slammed into Fukai Onna's body.

With a loud "boom", Di Yuanyu's earth-attribute clone was destroyed.

"Wind Release and Earth Release are only at the Chunin level. Although they know a lot of them, they are jacks-of-all-trades but master of none."

Naruto Uchiha shook his head, seemingly with a hint of inexplicable sarcasm.

"Although you say that Higuchi Orochi is the weakest among your great yokai, in my opinion, Higuchi Orochi is stronger than you!"

Taking advantage of the brief moment when Fukui no Onna held off Uchiha Naruto, Kakuyuki pounced into a cocoon made of black tentacles from the Earth Grudge Fear, dug hard inside, and pulled out a heart that was still pounding.

Grabbing his heart and stuffing it into his body, the black tentacles on Horned Strike's body began to dance and grow wildly again, his body swelled up, and another head grew out on the left side of the Three Elders.

However, the new head did not wear a mask; instead, it was a beast-like head formed from tentacles.

"Crackling and popping!"

The beast's head opened its massive maw and spat out a bolt of lightning that struck Uchiha Naruto with lightning speed.

"Lightning Release?"

Despite the lightning strike, Naruto Uchiha's Earth Spear Technique did not completely withstand the attack. His body was somewhat numb, and he was covered in dust. However, Naruto did not seem to mind and even sounded pleasantly surprised.

Among the five basic attributes of wind, fire, earth, water, and lightning in Naruto, Naruto Uchiha is the only one who lacks lightning release.

This is truly a pleasant surprise.

"You killed me three times, but I'm immortal!"

Although the clone created from the newly extracted monster's heart repelled the enemy for the first time, it didn't even amount to a superficial wound, and Kagami roared with a fierce but weak expression.

"Stop bragging. You're just prolonging your life by stealing the hearts of demons," Uchiha Naruto said dismissively.

"But the number of hearts isn't unlimited. You can only have a maximum of four right now. No wonder you captured the monsters under Orochi's command; you were selecting the hearts that suited you. Am I right?"

"Why does this superhuman know so much?"

The secrets and ulterior motives behind the sorcery were exposed by Uchiha Naruto in one sentence, and Kakuyuki couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive, and began to have second thoughts.

In a hidden corner, black tentacles have extended out, forming crisscrossing tentacled wings, ready to take flight at the first opportunity.

That being said, there are still ten cocoons wrapped in tentacles left in the container, which means that Horned Star still has twelve lives.

Like the Higuchi Orochi, its vitality is even more tenacious than that of a cockroach.

Naruto Uchiha had no time to linger here, so he used a wide-range offensive fire jutsu to wipe out Kakugoro and the monsters in the container!

Naruto Uchiha's chakra surged forth, and he clasped his hands together.

"The mighty fire is extinguished..."

Just then, Naruto Uchiha suddenly felt a terrifying sensation coming from the starry sky.

He looked up and saw that the pale crescent moon in the night sky was beginning to fill with an ominous and vivid blood-red hue.

"what!"

Blood began to flow from Naruto Uchiha's eyes, his pupils trembled violently, and the three black tomoe in his eyes began to elongate and deform, wrapping around his pupils.
