I became Hokage in Tokyo

Chapters 227 and 228: Fish! Fish! Fish!

"If you just go a little harder and scare them, the Metropolitan Police Department will definitely treat your sister with the utmost respect, like an honored guest," Uchiha Naruto laughed.

Naruto Uchiha's impression of the Metropolitan Police Department and related agencies was that they bullied the weak and feared the strong, but were very pragmatic.

Abducting Suzuki Maika from the police station would be effortless for Uchiha Naruto. However, Suzuki Maika is a member of society with her own social life, work, and life. After being abducted, she can't just run around like a fugitive and hide in the Metropolitan Police Department for the rest of her life.

So we need to change our approach; it shouldn't be a big problem.

"Suckling sound—"

It has to be said that Suzuki Kimie looks quite cute now that she's been transformed into a tiny, chibi-style octopus girl.

Naruto Uchiha couldn't resist teasing it with his fingers, and even pinched Suzuki Kimie's cheeks with his index finger and thumb.

"Ah, sob sob sob!"

Having already died once, although by chance Yin-Yang Release merged and he was given flesh to become a chakra life form, Suzuki Kimie's soul is somewhat incomplete, often displaying childlike naiveté and pure bestiality.

Although Kimie Suzuki retained some of her memories and intelligence from her previous life, her thinking and language abilities were far from being restored.

Being bullied like this by Uchiha Naruto, the octopus girl Suzuki Kimie could only whine angrily and bite Uchiha Naruto's fingers to vent her anger.

"It itches. Are you trying to trim my nails?" Uchiha Naruto teased.

"puff!"

Suzuki Kimie, whose face was flushed from being teased by Uchiha Naruto, finally couldn't take it anymore. She puffed out her cheeks in anger and spat a stream of black ink at Uchiha Naruto.

"Miss Suzuki, you're so mischievous."

Naruto Uchiha's three-tomoe eyes flickered.

Even though Suzuki Kimie was caught off guard by such a close-range sneak attack, under the Sharingan's perception, it was only a matter of slowing down the motion by a factor of ten. He simply turned his head and dodged the ink that Suzuki Kimie spat out.

"As expected of an octopus girl, she spits out ink whenever she's threatened. By the way, since you can spit out ink, can you change color?"

Like an octopus mimicking color transformation.

Octopuses are masters of disguise in nature. In addition to their well-known abilities to spit ink and change color, they can also mimic colorful, highly venomous stonefish and sea snakes to scare away predators.

"Eek."

Suzuki Kimie proudly raised her head on Uchiha Naruto's palm, revealing an expression of disdain.

However, Suzuki Kimie's mind was still that of a child, and she couldn't hide her thoughts at all. Her octopus tentacles wiggled happily, and her face showed a gloating expression as if she was ready to watch a good show.

"Oh, Ms. Suzuki, do you think such a prank will succeed?"

Naruto Uchiha chuckled a few times, then reached behind him and grabbed at the back of his head without turning his head.

"Eek!"

Suzuki Kimie's eyes widened, and her gaze flickered guiltily.

Amused, Uchiha Naruto stretched out his clenched fist and slowly opened it.

In the palm of my hand is a flying fish formed from ink.

The flying fish formed from the ink were lifelike, with a slight ink painting style. They darted left and right between the fingers, but could not escape Uchiha Naruto's grasp.

"The ink he spits out can transform into marine life... This ability is..."

Uchiha Naruto pondered.

Recalling the battle with Suzuki Kimie, who was rampaging while wearing a tailed beast cloak, it also spat out large clumps of ink from its mouth, which, upon entering the sea, transformed into ink sharks to aid in the attack.

"It's like Sai's Super Beast Imitation Drawing!"

The Super Beast Imitation Drawing ninjutsu is like Ma Liang's magic brush, which can turn drawings on a scroll into physical objects after being infused with chakra.

Super Beast Imitation Drawing is both offensive and defensive, and its skill is superb. When attacking, it can draw lions and unicorns, and when scouting, it can draw a large number of rats and snakes. Sai became a rare flying ninja in the ninja world by drawing giant birds.

"However, Sai still needs to sketch and draw when using the Super Beast Imitation Painting, while Suzuki Kimie only needs to spit out ink. Isn't that too cheating?"

However, lakes, rivers, and seas are also favorable terrains for Super Beast Imitation Painting to exert its abilities. Sai once poured all the ink into the river in a fit of anger and directly injected chakra into the water, omitting the painting steps and creating a large number of ink ninja beasts in one go.

"Miss Suzuki, could you create a person using ink based on my image?" Naruto Uchiha instructed.

Kimie Suzuki turned her head away, clearly still angry about what had happened earlier.

Uchiha Naruto didn't seem to care and laughed, "Miss Suzuki, you don't want your sister Suzuki Maika to..."

He deliberately stopped halfway through his sentence; the deeper meaning behind it could only be understood intuitively, not explained in words.

"Eek!"

Suzuki Kimie glared angrily at Uchiha Naruto. If she weren't truly outmatched, she would have loved to hang the bastard up with her octopus tentacles.

Finally, Suzuki Kimie had no choice but to begin her performance, opening her mouth and spitting out a large glob of ink.

When the jet-black ink fell to the ground, it solidified into a human shape.

In the blink of an eye, a black-clad "Uchiha Naruto" with a similar height and build, and whose hairstyle and clothing were identical to the original, appeared in an ink painting style.

Naruto Uchiha looked at the ink-man with great curiosity.

The Super Beast Imitation Painting Technique is truly amazing.

Although it's different from a shadow clone, being entirely black, it's already very similar, even the facial features are incredibly lifelike...

Well, although the Ink Man's facial features are those of Naruto Uchiha, his expression is too silly. His eyes are blank, he's baring his teeth, and he's sticking out his tongue in an exaggerated way, making him look like a mentally challenged person.

"Waaaaah." Suzuki Kimie covered her mouth and chuckled, as if she had done something amazing.

Naruto Uchiha found it somewhat amusing, shook his head, and flicked his finger at the ink-man's forehead!

The Ink Man's entire body exploded, and ink flowed freely onto the bathroom tiles.

"Eek!"

Startled, Suzuki Maika covered her forehead with both hands, and, still seemingly unconvinced, placed several octopus tentacles on her forehead as well.

"Don't worry, I wouldn't bully you like that."

Naruto Uchiha smiled, briefly outlined his plan, and after reviewing it several times, felt fairly satisfied. He then washed his hands and left.

The ink stains on the bathroom floor faded instantly after losing the support of chakra, becoming indistinguishable from clear water.

After leaving the Kohama City Police Station, Uchiha Naruto casually wandered around Kohama City for a few minutes.

"Bang bang bang!"

Fireworks were set off in broad daylight in Hatake City, with bursts of colorful flames shooting into the sky and bursting into bright and dazzling displays.

Obama City is currently filled with a festive atmosphere, with tourists thronging the streets and shops displaying various signs and banners related to mermaids.

Because he had been busy since morning, he had already missed the opening ceremony of the Mermaid Festival on Yushin Island, which made him slightly regretful.

However, following the directions in the Mermaid Festival tourist brochure, Uchiha Naruto arrived at the main street of the mackerel festival, which was already packed with people.

The palanquin carrying the mermaid mummy, brought from the mermaid shrine on Ogami Island, has arrived at this location.

In the diverse festivals of Japan, you can often see a large group of men carrying a magnificent, gold-decorated object resembling a palanquin – that is the shrine maiden.

The palanquin is the vehicle used by deities for their processions, consisting of a roof, body, and stretcher.

Generally speaking, the weight starts at half a ton, and two or three tons are not uncommon.

Carrying such a heavy load around the city would be incredibly strenuous, even for several men working together.

Some men who carry palanquins for years will even develop fist-sized growths on their shoulders from rubbing against each other, resembling the sacred bull zebu in India.

However, the palanquin for the Mermaid Festival was clearly just for show and wasn't nearly as heavy as it seemed.

Because the people carrying the palanquins were all young women dressed in revealing clothes, with fish-scale patterned makeup on their faces and wearing mermaid-like robes that reached their ankles.

"This is truly indecent! How can a woman be made to carry the palanquin?"

Some elderly tourists from other places watched with wide eyes, but at the same time were heartbroken.

"Shut up, old man."

The young man in his group was snapping photos incessantly, and he rolled his eyes and said:

"Young girls won't lift it, you're going to lift it for me to see? No, I don't want to see a shirtless, smelly man."

The middle-aged and elderly tourists muttered a few words, but wisely refrained from saying anything more and instead made the most of the time to feast their eyes.

Sure enough, men of all ages like to look at young and beautiful girls.

Naruto Uchiha's gaze lingered on the young women dressed as mermaids for a moment before turning to the shrine.

Inside the palanquin was a dried, blackened corpse, half monkey and half fish, about the size of a child.

Naruto Uchiha naturally knew that this was a counterfeit product.

The legend of Yaobikuni, which originated in Wakasa Bay, is well-known in Japan. This legendary mermaid mummy also attracts many tourists, who marvel at it and take photos one after another.

But their faces only showed excitement and curiosity, without any reverence for monsters or gods.

Obviously, the vast majority of people do not believe that this is a real mermaid mummy; they only come to see this so-called mermaid mummy out of curiosity.

After all, we live in the technologically advanced and prosperous 21st century, the new era of Reiwa. How many people would still believe in these bizarre and absurd legends?

As the procession carrying the palanquin gradually disappeared into the distance, Uchiha Naruto slowly withdrew his gaze.

Now that we've seen the beautiful young lady and the fake mermaid specimen, the mermaid festival was definitely worthwhile. Now it's time to get down to business.

…………

The monitoring room inside the Obama City Police Station.

"Knock knock knock".

The blonde, blue-eyed beauty tapped the table listlessly with her right hand, resting her chin on her hand as she watched Shimazaki Daiki on the screen.

Daiki Shimazaki is currently being held in a police station detention cell.

In addition to the surveillance cameras, several officers from the Fifth Public Security Division were also watching Shimazaki Daiki's every move intently from outside the iron bars of the detention cell.

This is both a rigorous protection measure and a strategy of waiting for prey to strike.

They waited for Suzuki Kimie, who was no longer known whether she was an evil spirit or some other monster, to come to their door.

The previous day, the complete annihilation of an expedition ship and missile boat carrying out a secret experimental mission had already drawn the attention of the United States.

For the vast and powerful Seventh Fleet, a Pegasus-class missile boat with a displacement of 200 tons is just a drop in the ocean, but its inexplicable sinking in Wakasa Bay is a cause for great concern among those who know the inside story.

Rescue ships and warships were urgently dispatched to the scene, but no survivors were found.

The underwater camera at the bottom of Wakasa Bay discovered that the shipwreck was deserted, and the evil spirit of Suzuki Kimie had disappeared.

Now that things have developed to this point, everyone knows that something must have gone wrong with the secret experiment.

The project leaders promptly shifted the blame to Section Chief Mori of the Fifth Section, who was missing and had apparently died in the line of duty, temporarily absolving themselves of responsibility.

But the most urgent task is to find out exactly what happened.

Just then, Kohama City sent a report that the survivors of the shipwreck from years ago had mysteriously drowned one after another overnight.

The Fifth Division had already investigated and filed the truth about what happened during the storm years ago, but they ignored it, showing no regard for fairness or justice.

After getting a brief understanding of the information, the Fifth Division, with its keen sense of smell honed from years of dealing with the supernatural, naturally detected something unusual about it.

It's Suzuki Kimie's revenge!

However, Suzuki Kimie's evil spirit came to Kohama City to seek revenge and kill people, which has already broken the three ironclad rules of evil spirits!

Evil spirits are homing creatures and can only operate within a certain range; they have no emotions or reason, treat enemies and relatives equally, and do not cause trouble out of hatred.

Based on the sixteen Type B cases to date, it is highly unlikely that Kimie Suzuki would appear in Kohama City and specifically target the enemies who abandoned her during the storm years ago.

"Could it be that our experiment in Lesson 5 opened Pandora's box...?"

Grace sorted out her thoughts, her eyes filled with worry.

If evil spirits truly develop emotions, then detaining Suzuki Kimie's sister is also a precaution, so that there will be something to play if necessary.

"Investigator, it's noon. This is a bento box that our chief ordered from the best restaurant in town."

A local police officer with a middle parting, carrying a beautifully decorated lacquered bento box, said with a fawning expression.

"I don't know if this suits your taste. If you don't like it, we can also prepare Western food for you."

"Whatever, that's fine."

Grace casually opened her bento box, took a few bites, and suddenly asked:

"Has that woman not left yet?"

"Yes, she didn't even eat lunch, and she's acting like she's going to cling to us like crazy. Should we kick that woman out?"

"never mind."

Even if we don't care about the monk, we can't just ignore her because of the Uchiha police inspector.

Grace sighed, picked up a lunchbox, and walked out.

"Fish! Fish! Fish!"

"So many fish!"

"What monster!"

Just then, a cry of surprise rang out.

Grace's expression changed, and she pulled out her gun and rushed out.

In the corridor of the police station, countless strange fish with thin, grotesque legs were crawling around everywhere!
