I became Hokage in Tokyo

Chapter 22-023 Onmyoji, Swordsman, or Ninja?

"If you've ever been hunted down by humans using these things, you'll remember them vividly."

The six-armed demon seemed to recall something, its tone tinged with lingering fear. Its eyes swept over Uchiha Naruto: "And pistols, assault rifles, submachine guns... Aren't you humans best at using all kinds of firearms and bombs? So many demons have been killed this way."

Naruto Uchiha found it increasingly strange; this six-armed demon seemed to have suffered some misery at the hands of humans.

But shouldn't the opponents of yokai be extraordinary beings like onmyoji, shrine maidens, and monks? Why does it sound like their main enemies are humans who use firearms?

But it's the 21st century now, and times have really changed. Maybe a staff isn't as useful as a gun.

However, it was a rare opportunity to encounter a talking yokai, a good chance to learn about the yokai world and the extraordinary structure of this world. Therefore, Uchiha Naruto did not interrupt, but continued speaking along with it:

"You can rest assured, I don't have any guns or bombs on me. This sword is enough to deal with a weakling like you."

"Bullshit! How could a human with swords possibly be a match for a demon?" The six-armed demon was enraged by the contempt in Uchiha Naruto's tone.

Uchiha Naruto chuckled nonchalantly and asked, "You're really ugly. What kind of demon are you? I haven't seen any descriptions of demons similar to you in any books."

Upon hearing this, the six-armed monster seemed to have heard something unbelievable, and its face instantly contorted into a ferocious expression:

"Race? How could you ask such a basic question? You don't even know the most basic common sense. You're definitely not from the Metropolitan Police Department, and you can't possibly be from the Self-Defense Forces. Who exactly are you?"

Has it been exposed? It seems I shouldn't have asked that question.

Uchiha clicked his tongue and slowly drew his sword from its sheath. Rather than trying to probe with words, it seemed more efficient to beat this six-armed demon half to death first and then interrogate him for information.

The six-armed demon noticed Uchiha Naruto's unfriendly expression and immediately spread out his six abnormally long arms and fingers. As if hearing the bugle call, the discarded mannequins in the clothing section twisted their limbs and stood up from the ground.

"No wonder you fled here; these mannequins are your soldiers."

Naruto Uchiha looked calmly at the dozens of mannequins surrounding him and said in a flat tone.

"superior!"

The six-armed monster started gesticulating wildly, like one, no, three clumsy conductors standing on a stage at the same time, and the mannequins rushed towards him in a frenzy.

Upon meeting the dummy, Naruto Uchiha sliced ​​it in half from head to toe with a single slash. Then, he moved nimbly through the circle of dummy figures, not even letting them touch the hem of his black robe with red cloud patterns.

He swung his hand and beheaded another dummy, but the headless dummy continued to charge at him.

"I almost forgot, these aren't real people. They're already missing arms and legs, so cutting off their heads probably won't do much good. They should be chopped into even smaller pieces."

He cleaved the dummy diagonally downwards from the right, cutting it in two from shoulder to waist.

In Japanese Kendo, this is called Kesazaki.

Of course, Naruto Uchiha had no idea what swordsmanship was, but with his superhuman agility and the chakra samurai sword in his hand that could cut through iron like mud, he easily chopped the dummies into pieces, leaving plastic limbs scattered all over the ground.

"This abandoned mall has many mannequins, but not an endless supply. This is the last one. What are you going to do next?"

After severing the last mannequin along with its arms, Naruto Uchiha swung his sword at the floor as if spitting out non-existent blood, then looked up at the six-armed demon on the chandelier.

"This shoddy puppet show ends here..."

As Naruto Uchiha bent his knees as if to jump, he felt his entire body tense up from head to toe, as if he were entangled by countless fishing lines, which tightened the more he tried to pull.

The six-armed demon spread its six arms, hooking each finger at Uchiha Naruto, revealing a sinister and triumphant grin:

"I'll give you a compliment for cutting down so many dummies with a knife. But do you think I manipulated them? I used invisible threads made of demonic energy to connect them. While you were cutting down the dummies, I secretly wrapped the demonic energy threads from the dummies around you."

"So you demons call chakra 'demon energy'..."

Naruto Uchiha glanced down, and said calmly and unhurriedly.

"What chakra?" The nonchalant tone startled the six-armed demon, but he quickly regained his composure.

It has six arms and thirty fingers. Each finger can flick a strand of demonic energy that can lift a weight of nearly 100 pounds. There are now thirty strands of demonic energy wrapped around this young man. Unless he has the strength of an Asian elephant, he won't be able to break free.

With just a slight exertion of his six hands to tighten the demonic energy threads, he could instantly tear him to pieces. Why is he so calm?!

"From the very beginning, your little tricks couldn't fool me. These eyes can clearly see the color of chakra!"

Naruto Uchiha suddenly looked up at the monster under the ceiling, his crimson Sharingan eyes captivating in the darkness!

"Those eyes... You're a demon too?! No, how could there be a demon who looks almost exactly like a human? Who exactly are you?"

The six-armed demon was shocked and instinctively tightened his grip on the demonic energy threads, intending to tear Uchiha Naruto to pieces.

Just then, with a "poof," Uchiha Naruto, who was tightly bound by dozens of transparent threads, was replaced with half a dummy!

Substitution Technique!

Freed from his restraints, Uchiha Naruto swiftly completed the hand seals and, following the threads, unleashed a torrent of flames from his mouth.

"Dragonfire Technique!"

The raging flames extended upwards along the threads, reaching the six-armed monster in the blink of an eye at a speed much faster than the previous Fireball Technique. Before it could even sever the threads, it was engulfed by the flames!

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, flames splattered across the ceiling, illuminating the area as bright as day, and the chandelier was blown apart and fell to the ground.

The six-armed monster also lost an arm in the explosion. Severely injured, it fell to the ground in a sorry state. Just as it spread its other arms to struggle and escape, a figure landed heavily on its face and stomped on it.

Then, with a few swishes, five kunai flew out and pinned the remaining arms of the six-armed monster to the ground!

"How could a human breathe fire?! Who are you anyway?"

"Who knows? Is it an Onmyoji, a swordsman, or maybe a ninja?"
