I became Hokage in Tokyo

Chapters 206 and 208: Locust Plague

Uchiha Itachi, Chiriku, Sasori of the Red Sand... To this day, Uchiha Naruto has always been disguised as a man, and has never used the Transformation Jutsu to become a woman.

There's only one time and countless times when it comes to women's clothing.

Transforming into a woman using ninjutsu is even more realistic than cross-dressing; it's something I just can't get over in my own mind.

Especially Tsunade, Hinata Hyuga, Mabui, Samui, and the like—these stunning beauties are pleasing to the eye, but when they have to wear something that attracts attention on their chests, Naruto Uchiha can't help but shudder.

Moreover, Uchiha Naruto was, after all, a man. There is a difference between men and women. After transforming into a woman, his words and actions were very different from those of a man, making it easier to leave flaws.

Cross-dressing is out of the question; the only way to continue this charade is to transform into one of the other men in Naruto.

It's too much trouble to create a character design from scratch. The reason I chose a character from Naruto as my alternate identity is because the original work has already created a distinct character design and personality, so Naruto Uchiha only needs to follow suit.

Moreover, since Naruto Uchiha's system is based on the ninjutsu system of Naruto, as long as you have the character's representative ninjutsu, cosplaying him will be even more effective.

Naruto Uchiha leaped up from the taro leaves, stepping on the leaves of different plants before finally landing on the ground.

"It feels just like I've actually arrived at Mount Myōboku!"

He reached out and stroked the giant python's corpse. The cold, rough texture of its scales filled Uchiha Naruto with emotion.

Once the [Secret Realm Exploration] instance is materialized, it is completely immersive. It is precisely because it is difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion that Uchiha Naruto was able to fool those lucky viewers who were randomly pulled into the instance into believing that this was Mount Myōboku.

Even Naruto Uchiha, who possessed the three-tomoe Sharingan, couldn't see through it, let alone those seven ordinary people who didn't even have chakra.

No, these seven people now have chakra too.

Naruto Uchiha's expression shifted.

To allow ordinary people to enter the secret realm dungeon, the first prerequisite is to make them "players" as well. However, Uchiha Naruto's system is unique and does not have the function of being shared with others.

Uchiha Naruto's approach was to use the master-disciple assistance to turn these seven lucky audience members into his apprentices, essentially sub-accounts under his main account, before pulling them into the Myoboku Mountain secret realm instance.

Although these seven lucky audience members were also randomly assigned a ninjutsu by Naruto Uchiha, which generated chakra.

However, Naruto Uchiha only assigned them LV1 ninjutsu levels, and deliberately blocked out hand seals and ninjutsu-related content. With that little chakra, they simply couldn't unleash any ninjutsu.

At best, they could release a few small fireballs.

Moreover, in Uchiha Naruto's eyes, these seven lucky audience members were just tools to make up the number of people for the raid. Once the dungeon was cleared, Uchiha Naruto would ban their "IPs," take back their ninjutsu, and kick them back into the real world.

All the experiences of the seven lucky viewers in the secret realm were just a pipe dream, and in the end they gained nothing.

Although these people all possessed chakra and LV1 ninjutsu, their actual combat strength was even inferior to that of ninja academy students. In other words, the pressure of running the dungeon suddenly fell on the shoulders of Uchiha Naruto, a Jonin.

【Mount Myoboku (Eastern Region)】The recommended level is Jonin, but now it has become an eight-person team, making it more difficult.

However, Naruto Uchiha, confident in his exceptional combat prowess as a Jonin and his familiarity with the dungeon's mechanics, believed he could clear the dungeon alone, and thus resolutely initiated a team fight.

"My shadow clones can easily fight their way to the boss, and I should be able to hold my own against the boss in a one-on-one fight. I'll just stay hidden in the shadows and wait for my chance, and by the way..."

Naruto Uchiha looked around and saw the lush greenery of nature filling his vision, with vibrant life everywhere.

"Hiss hiss hiss, is this really just a dungeon instance? It feels so real, I can even sense the natural energy." Uchiha Naruto stuck out his tongue like a snake, collecting information from the air.

As soon as Naruto Uchiha entered the secret realm, he sensed that it was different from the training ground; the air was even filled with abundant natural energy.

Because of his previous training in Sage Mode, Naruto Uchiha's right cheek was covered in purple snake scales, and Jiraiya, who was transformed from a shadow clone, was not spared either. Jiraiya's bulbous nose with small bumps was a remnant of natural energy.

However, the aftereffect of the original Sage Transformation is snake transformation, while the aftereffect of the Shadow Clone Sage Transformation is toad transformation. Naruto Uchiha couldn't understand why this was the case.

"Hiss hiss hiss, Fukasaku's staff, it has to explode!"

…………

Mineko Yuki and her companions, who had also mistakenly entered Mount Myōboku, followed behind Jiraiya at a distance of two or three meters.

Jiraiya moved with incredible speed, and they had to quicken their pace to keep up.

The scenery along the way was breathtaking, like Alice in Wonderland or Gulliver entering the land of giants—a dreamlike and unreal experience.

"It's so beautiful!"

"And the fresh air here is far superior to anything in Yoyogi Park."

A group of people followed Jiraiya for more than half an hour. Everyone was in high spirits. Even the heaviest woman only had sweat on her forehead and looked slightly tired.

Along the way, perhaps because the lustful immortal was clearing the way, they were not attacked by the bizarrely large toads and pythons that they had encountered before.

"I've walked about five kilometers, how come I still have so much energy? It feels like I have inexhaustible energy in my body." Yuki Mineko remembered that she was now a shy and delicate young woman, so she deliberately lagged behind others.

She has been exercising regularly and has great stamina, but now she feels lighter than before, and even has the energy to mentally calculate the distance and direction of her walk.

"What is that?"

Following the sound, Yuki Mineko looked and saw a tall, ancient stone statue hidden beneath moss and vines.

Strangely, it turned out to be a stone statue with a frog's head and a human body.

It's a mark left by humans!

"There's nothing to see here. He's just another unlucky guy like you."

Jiraiya glanced at it and continued walking forward. The others didn't dare to ask any questions and quickly followed, afraid of being left behind.

"We're all in the same boat now, so let's introduce ourselves so we can look out for each other," the bespectacled man said, wiping his sweat.

He was a young man in his thirties, dressed casually, with black-rimmed glasses perched on his nose, and his eyes revealed a shrewdness.

"I'm from Taigahara and work as a pharmaceutical salesman for a pharmaceutical company. I was having a bad day at work, so I came to Yoyogi Park to relax. I never expected to end up in another world."

"My name is Taguchi Nakazuru. I don't really have a job. I just do odd jobs at convenience stores or play pachinko."

The young man with dyed yellow hair smiled, displaying a nonchalant attitude, and patted his girlfriend's shoulder.

"This is my girlfriend. Luckily, we were on a date in Yoyogi Park at the time."

"Who's your girlfriend? We've already broken up!"

The woman named Hao Cai was clearly still resentful about the breakup with the blond young man, and she frowned and said...

The blond-haired youth didn't take it seriously.

"I... I'm Kiritani Asuka, and I'm currently a student at Tokyo Women's University of Arts. Please take good care of me," Yuuki Mineko said shyly, bowing her head.

Hmph, to reveal one's real name and resume to a group of complete strangers in such a strange place shows a complete lack of caution.

Yuki Mineko casually gave a fake name and made up a fake identity along the way.

Hello everyone, I am...

The others briefly introduced themselves, and then the fat woman sighed and said:

"I was also at Yoyogi Park, walking my baby in the dog-walking area, when suddenly we ended up here. My baby must be so anxious right now, sigh."

"Ms. Hamada, your dog is a golden retriever, right?" Okawara asked.

How did you know?

"Ms. Hamada, you were walking ahead of me with your dog in Yoyogi Park. And I remember you very well."

With such a physique, it's unforgettable. Walking in front of it, it's practically a mountain of flesh. If it weren't for the dog's lively and active nature, which almost broke free of its leash several times, you wouldn't even be able to tell what kind of dog it was.

"Yeah, when Lucky and I were lying on the lawn, a big golden retriever jumped over our heads."

"It seems that we not only drifted to another world from Yoyogi Park, but we were also not far apart, and we were in the same place in Yoyogi Park at the time."

Mineko Yuki nodded slightly.

She didn't have much of an impression of the others, but she remembered that when she was jogging, a fat woman walking a golden retriever appeared in front of her, which was Ms. Hamada.

The group chatted briefly, then continued walking with Jiraiya without saying anything more.

They walked for an unknown amount of time, and the journey was uneventful. However, apart from Yuki Mineko, the others were starting to feel the strain and were panting heavily. But Jiraiya showed no intention of stopping to help them rest.

"Miss Kiritani, could you please talk to Lord Jiraiya and ask him to take a short break?"

Taigahara quickened his pace and made a request to Yuki Mineko.

Hearing this, the others also looked at her expectantly.

It's no secret that Jiraiya-sama has a special fondness for the youthful and beautiful Mineko Yuuki.

Although Yuki Mineko still had plenty of energy, she nodded as she saw that the others were about to fall behind due to exhaustion.

Consider it a service to taxpayers.

"Lord Jiraiya, could you please let me rest for a bit... my legs are completely numb from walking," Mineko Yuuki pleaded in a sweet, coquettish voice.

"Miss Asuka, can't walk anymore? I can carry you on my back. My back is very broad, you know," Jiraiya chuckled and said enthusiastically.

Yuki Mineko instinctively zipped up her tracksuit all the way, but the bulge became even more noticeable. She crossed her arms and forced a smile:

"Thank you for your kindness, Jiraiya-sama. But look at all these people here, everyone is exhausted. Could we please take a break? Please, Jiraiya-sama!"

"Hmph, since it was Asuka-san's request, then you can all take a rest." Jiraiya glanced at the others a few times, a look of disdain on his face.

There happened to be a small hill nearby, about ten meters high, so everyone took shelter in the shade below to rest.

"Lord Jiraiya, where are you going?"

They had just sat down when they saw Jiraiya get up and walk away. Afraid of being left behind, Oogawara quickly asked what was wrong.

"Going to relieve yourself, are you stinky men going to come along too?" Jiraiya said irritably.

"You guys should use this time to recover your strength."

"We're almost at Toad Oil Waterfall. The second half of the journey won't be as easy as it was before. You'd better be prepared."

Jiraiya's figure disappeared behind a giant plantain.

"I'm feeling a bit hungry. I wonder if there's anything to eat on Mount Myōboku?"

The fat woman rubbed her stomach.

There were many huge plants nearby with dew condensing on their leaves, which was cool and refreshing, but unfortunately, there was no fruit or anything else to eat.

"There are bugs, ma'am, do you want to eat them? They look very juicy, they're sure to burst with juice."

The blond-haired youth grinned and tore off a huge blade of grass, revealing a plump, white larva the size of a baguette.

"Ugh...you bastard!"

In addition to the abnormally large plants, the insects in Mount Myoboku are also magnified dozens of times, making it a nightmare for people who are afraid of insects.

"Lord Jiraiya said that we are all souls who have drifted to Mount Myōboku, and our bodies are still unconscious in the mortal world."

The bespectacled man, Ogawara, frowned, looked around but couldn't see Jiraiya, and then lowered his voice to speak.

"But we can still feel hungry, and we get sweaty and breathless when we walk, just like before."

"But Jiraiya-sama, the ecchi immortal, has no reason to deceive us. He could have easily abandoned us. If Jiraiya-sama wanted to harm us, he wouldn't have needed to beat around the bush like this," said Mineko Yuuki.

Yuki Mineko's impression of Jiraiya wasn't bad. Although at first glance he seemed like just a lewd old man making dirty jokes, he only talked nonsense and didn't actually touch her.

If the lewd immortal really wanted to do something, based on the skill he showed in strangling the giant python, he could easily make me look like a monster.

That's not what I meant...

"What's that? A thunderstorm?" the fat woman suddenly exclaimed.

Following her gaze, Yuki Mineko saw that at the edge of the sky, dense dark clouds suddenly gathered from all directions, obscuring the sun and forming a dark, oppressive mass.

The dark clouds were getting closer and closer, and they kept emitting a loud buzzing sound!

"Locusts! How could they be so big!"

Each locust is the size of an arm, with thorns covering its limbs and sharp mouthparts that make a clicking sound, making it look ferocious and terrifying.

Countless enormous locusts, like a natural disaster, covered the sky and surged towards them, engulfing everyone in an instant.
