I became Hokage in Tokyo

Chapter 23-024 This country has no Onmyoji

Ninja?!

Onmyoji in human stories and legends do have the ability to control fire, and their ability to cut through dummies with fluid movements is somewhat similar to that of a swordsman. But what the hell is a ninja?

Japanese ninjas aren't all scoundrels who only hide in the shadows and do dirty tricks like poisoning and stealing information. Where would you find a ninja who can breathe fire? Even the worst Taiga dramas it's ever seen wouldn't dare to portray something like that.

No, no, I've been tricked by him.

"Nonsense! There are no Onmyoji in this country!"

The six-armed monster, feeling that he had been tricked, roared loudly.

"How strange, I never expected to hear such words from a yokai. You yokai actually deny the existence of Onmyoji."

Uchiha Naruto's expression was strange: "Since this island nation has demons and monsters like you, isn't it reasonable for it to also have Onmyoji?"

"I am a yokai, that's true, but I've lived in Tokyo for so many years since I was born, and I've never seen an onmyoji. Humans don't have yokai energy, so naturally they can't use supernatural abilities..."

The six-armed demon was somewhat surprised and uncertain, as the existence of this young man had already shattered the common sense of the demon world.

Humans are not superhuman. So-called Onmyoji and superpowered individuals are all fabrications and figments of human imagination. This is a consensus not only among the demon world but also among human officials.

If there truly are extraordinary human beings like Onmyoji, why have they never appeared in the struggle between humans and yokai over the past many years, and why have we never even heard of them?

But this man not only possessed terrifying crimson demonic eyes, but could also spew forth powerful flames from his mouth; he was no ordinary man.

It's definitely not a monster!

Humans cannot become monsters, and monsters cannot become humans. This is an ironclad rule that has been summarized from years of conflict between humans and monsters since the emergence of supernatural beings.

That's how the "teacher" taught them in their general human knowledge class.

"What you just said was very interesting! Could you continue? I have many more questions I'd like to ask you."

Naruto Uchiha realized the seriousness of the problem. His understanding of the mystical side of this world seemed to have become greatly distorted, and his expression turned serious.

The six-armed demon struggled several times, but its arms were firmly pinned to the ground by kunai, rendering it unable to move. It stuck out its long, thin tongue, licked its lips, and tentatively asked:

"I told you, can you let me off the hook?"

"Although I really want to say yes, you wouldn't believe me anyway. So let's just forget about it. You should have been prepared for this when you killed someone before."

There wasn't even a perfunctory deception. The six-armed monster clearly felt the undisguised, icy killing intent emanating from the red-eyed man and realized that he was doomed. As his whole body turned cold, his resolve strengthened.

Seeing that the monster kept its mouth shut and didn't say a word, looking like a stubborn duck, Uchiha Naruto scratched his cheek in annoyance.

"Since you refuse to answer the previous questions, how about we try something easier? You can even use a cell phone; judging from your previous words and actions, you should be able to do addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division within thirty, right?"

"You have five arms, and each hand has five fingers. Five times five is twenty-five. What is 25-1?"

The six-armed monster was completely bewildered. Why was he asking such a simple math question at this time?

What is 25-1?

Although he didn't understand the red-eyed man's intentions, the six-armed monster remained silent, just like before.

"It's 24!"

Naruto Uchiha pulled out a kunai and severed one of the monster's abnormally long fingers at the root.

"Aaaaaah—!" The six-armed monster let out a scream.

"So your demon blood is red too... Next question, what is 24-1?" Uchiha Naruto remained unmoved, a cruel smile appearing in his crimson Sharingan eyes.

If it were a beast-eared girl or a yokai that resembled a human, Naruto Uchiha might not be able to bring himself to use harsh torture to extract a confession; he might as well just slit her throat.

But when interrogating the Six-Armed Demon, a monster that was ugly beyond recognition and had killed people, he felt no pressure at all.

"Human! I'm going to kill you, hang your whole family, and eat you alive... Ah—!"

"Wrong answer! Next question. What is 23-1?"

……

What is 15-3?

"...I'll kill you..."

……

Nearly ten minutes later.

"I really admire you. I didn't expect that even after cutting off all your fingers, you could still remain silent. Are all the other demons as stubborn as you?"

Wiping the blood splattered on his hands, Uchiha Naruto looked at the monster being trampled under his feet and clicked his tongue in admiration.

I also have a bit of a headache.

I really am not good at interrogation; the six-armed monster is so stubborn.

Does this mean that killing it is the only way to obtain the Ninja Orb?

It's a shame that we've encountered a talking monster, yet we can't extract any information about the mysteries of this world from it.

It's a pity that my Sharingan hasn't awakened to the third tomoe yet, otherwise I could have used my hypnotic eye to pry its mouth open without getting my hands dirty.

wrong……

Naruto Uchiha's Sharingan with two tomoe spun rapidly. He noticed that the wound where the demon's finger had been cut off had stopped bleeding, and there was even granulation tissue wriggling in the wound.

"I see, so you monsters can regenerate limbs after they've been severed?"

"You really... know nothing..."

The six-armed monster's eyes twitched with pain. After gasping for breath, it finally regained some strength and sneered through gritted teeth:

"Hehehe, we monsters are not like you weak humans. With just this little injury, as long as we eat a person or rest for a few days, the severed finger can grow back."

"Although you're unwilling to speak, your body is obediently handing over information, which is also important. But it wouldn't be fun to end this early, so let's begin the second round!"

"What? A second round?" Liu Shou was puzzled. He had no more fingers to cut off. What vicious methods would this demonic human use to torture him?

"I redeemed it from the store but haven't used it yet. I happen to need a test subject. Hmm, the injury isn't too serious; half a 'Blood-Boosting Pill' should be enough."

Unable to understand what the human was muttering, the six-armed monster suddenly felt something being thrown into its mouth, and then a warm current flowed from its mouth to all parts of its body and the wounds on its six arms.

Not only did the weakness throughout my body lessen by half, but my severed fingers also grew back at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even the arm that had been blown off by the flames grew back!

What did this human eat?!

"ah--!"

Before it could think any further, the newborn arm was severed at the root, causing it to scream in pain.

"It's better to start with 25. This round uses the same questions as before, so we don't want to be unable to answer them again."

That demonic voice began to echo again.

"Come on, let's start teaching again. 25-1, what's that?"
