I became Hokage in Tokyo

Chapters 182-184: Burying the Corpse in Aokigahara

Yamanashi Prefecture, Mount Fuji.

On the southeast side of Lake Shoji, one of the Fuji Five Lakes, lies a large crescent-shaped primeval forest called Aokigahara Forest, a notorious suicide spot in Japan.

It was dawn, the sky was neither bright nor dark, and the forest of Aokigahara swayed in the shadows, with many strange shadows, making it particularly eerie.

"Awooo—!"

A cry from an unknown animal sent a chill down the spines of two men who were digging a hole in the ground with shovels. They looked at each other in bewilderment.

"That howl sounds like a wolf?" one of them said, sounding uneasy.

"You idiot, wolves in Japan are long extinct; they're probably just wild dogs or something."

Beside the large pit, a middle-aged man dressed in a crisp shirt and trousers sat on the ground. He had short, dyed yellow hair, a black beard around his mouth, a cold expression, and his eyes flashed with a sharp light.

"It's almost dawn, don't stop! Dig the pit deeper, or we'll be in trouble if the animals dig it out."

"Brother Ku, this might be troublesome elsewhere, but this is the Suicide Forest. Nobody cares about one or two extra corpses," one of the men digging the pit said with a laugh.

"I'm not negotiating with you! This is an order!"

The bearded man called Brother Ku glanced over and said coldly.

The two people in the pit quickly shut up, rolled up their sleeves, and began digging with all their might, sweating profusely.

Judging from their exposed black tattoos, they are clearly not good people, but rather trash like the Yakuza.

"Brother Ku, it's done digging."

"No, not deep enough, dig deeper!"

The two Yakuza could only grimace as they continued digging.

Soon, a large pit, two meters square and more than one meter deep, was dug.

"Fine, let's leave it at that."

Ku Ge glanced at it and wasn't very satisfied, but seeing the two Yakuza looking exhausted and panting, and not wanting to get his trouser legs dirty, he had no choice but to make do with it.

"Hey, Tosu! Time to wake up!"

Under Brother Ku's butt was a black burlap sack more than a meter long, with blood still seeping from one corner of the sack.

Ku Ge stood up, raised his designer leather shoes, and kicked the sack hard without any hesitation!

"Waaah."

A muffled groan came from inside the sack.

Ku Ge untied the sack, revealing a bruised and swollen face.

The person inside the sack was bound hand and foot and gagged. Although his face was covered in bruises, he was thin and timid, completely unlike the fierce-looking Yakuza outside.

His white shirt was stained red with blood from his face, and he still had a tie around his neck.

Judging from his appearance and demeanor, he seems more like a timid and cowardly middle-aged office worker.

"Tosu, look at this huge pit that's already been dug. This is your last chance!"

Ku Ge ripped the sock out of the skinny office worker's mouth, dragged him by the hair, pulled him over the pit, and forcibly pressed the office worker's head down.

"Whoaaaaah—!"

The thin office worker let out a series of screams, which subsided after a while.

"Speak quickly! Confess honestly, is the young master's disappearance related to you? Or have you already killed him?!"

Brother Ku grabbed the thin office worker by the hair, turned his face toward himself, and asked fiercely.

"Please, let me go... Mr. Ku, I really... didn't know..."

The thin office worker, tears streaming down his face, stammered and begged for mercy.

"Bullshit! The young master's last appearance was in your daughter's rented apartment! And you were there that day, how dare you say you didn't know?"

Ku Ge sneered and punched the skinny office worker in the nose.

"Spare...my life... Waaah..."

Blood splattered from his nose, staining the corner of Ku Ge's shirt with a few drops.

"Damn it, my brand new AOKI! How dare you get my clothes dirty!"

Ku Ge suddenly flew into a rage, unleashing a flurry of punches and kicks, relentlessly slamming one heavy blow after another into the skinny office worker's body.

"Help! Help!"

Suddenly finding strength from who-knows-where, the thin office worker let out a frantic cry for help.

"Tosu, do you know where you are? This is Aokigahara. Even if you scream your lungs out, no one will come to save you!"

Ku Ge said with a sinister grin.

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound from the woods not far behind.

"Who is it?"

The suspicious Ku Ge immediately became alert, looking over with a cold glint in his eyes, but there was nothing there.

"Go and take a look."

He randomly assigned a cool-looking underling to the task. The man walked over with a bitter face, shone his flashlight around a few times, but found nothing.

Maybe it was a small animal that darted by, or something like the wind.

Ku Ge felt slightly relieved and continued to punch and kick the skinny office worker.

"Quiet, Tsunayoshi."

Hidden in the shadows, Uchiha Naruto silently stroked the head of the ninja dog Tsunayoshi, conveying his message to it through the summoning jutsu.

After Naruto Uchiha destroyed the Earth Grudge Demon on the outskirts of Saitama Prefecture, he consumed a lot of his eye power and chakra.

Having mastered the art of survival, he naturally wouldn't be so hasty in pursuing another group of monsters.

Although the possibility of being caught off guard and losing one's life is almost nonexistent, Uchiha Naruto became even more cautious after the Red Moon Incident.

Naruto Uchiha rested for two hours, restoring his eye power and chakra to near full strength, before summoning his ninja dog Tsunayoshi to continue the pursuit.

This pursuit took them all the way from Saitama Prefecture to the foot of Mount Fuji in Yamanashi Prefecture.

Naruto Uchiha had also heard of Aoki-no-Mori's reputation as a suicide hotspot.

Naruto Uchiha found an abandoned container truck by the roadside, but as he chased into Aokigahara, Tsuna's nose suddenly stopped being able to detect the scents of the yokai.

Aokimori is located in the magma zone formed by the eruption of Mount Fuji. The underground is rich in iron ore, which causes an abnormal magnetic field and compasses to malfunction.

However, the abnormal magnetic field could not possibly affect the ninja dog Tsunayoshi's sense of smell.

Naruto Uchiha immediately promised a whole host of benefits, including tomahawk steaks, top-quality dog ​​food, and female dogs. Tsuna's mouth watered as he listened, and he practically wagged his tail off.

But no matter how hard it tried, the scent of the monsters stopped once it entered Aokigahara.

Is there something strange about Aokihara?

Or is it that the other mysterious monster that captured the monsters from the sanctuary has some special ability that allows it to block out the monsters' scent?

Although today was quite fruitful, not only did I get a full 500 Ninja Orbs from the Earth Grudge Fear monster, but I also obtained the LV1 Earth Grudge Fear Technique.

The ability to gain immortality by stealing another's heart is indeed a very powerful secret ninjutsu, but to be honest, Naruto Uchiha felt somewhat disgusted by the black tentacles and limb modifications of the Earth Grudge Fear Technique.

Like Orochimaru's style of ninjutsu, it involves transforming oneself into a form that is neither human nor ghost.

It really doesn't suit the Uchiha clan name!

Naruto Uchiha was not willing to return home so easily, but instead took Tsuna and wandered around the Aokigahara Forest.

The ninja dog Tsunayoshi, with his keen sense of smell, immediately caught the scent of fresh human blood and brought Uchiha Naruto here to watch a good show.

Did Yakuza kill and bury the body?

Ku Ge then subjected the skinny office worker to another round of brutal torture. The office worker was already barely breathing, but even so, he still didn't change his tune, muttering things like "I don't know" and "have mercy."

"Bring the things up."

Yakuza, the younger brother, walked over carrying an iron bucket.

The iron bucket was filled with ice, and in each block of ice was a severed hand and foot.
