I became Hokage in Tokyo

Chapter 25-026: Knife Cuts Bullet

"Don't move, hands up!"

Naruto Uchiha looked back in the direction of the sound and saw a man in a black suit emerge from the shadows behind the trees, aiming a pistol at him from more than ten meters away.

This man, who was over 1.9 meters tall and around 30 years old, in the prime of his life, held a gun in one hand and took out an ID card in the other, the gold seal of Asahi Shimbun reflecting the moonlight.

"Good evening, Mr. Samurai. I am John Odagiri from the Fifth Division of the Public Security Department of the Metropolitan Police Department."

John Odagiri has black hair, yellow skin, but deep-set eyes, a high nose, and bluish pupils. He speaks fluent Japanese and seems to be of mixed race.

He stared intently at Uchiha Naruto with burning eyes, as if he were a stunning beauty or a priceless treasure.

Although Itachi Uchiha was quite handsome, being stared at like that by a fake foreigner still made Naruto Uchiha feel uncomfortable.

"After that ghost-hunting livestream aired online, it attracted the attention of our Ministry of Public Security. Based on my experience, I can confirm that what happened in the livestream was not fake, and your lightsaber slash earlier, Sir Samurai, was not a special effect or something fake. Our Ministry of Public Security has been searching for superpowered individuals like you!"

It turned out to be someone from the Ministry of Public Security.

Unlike the Criminal Investigation Department, the Public Security Department, although nominally under the Metropolitan Police Department, is actually under the command of the National Security Council, which is directly under the Cabinet. The Japanese Public Security Department is mainly responsible for national security and intelligence work, internally monitoring various social groups such as religions, yakuza groups, and foundations, and externally having counter-espionage functions.

This five-section system should be the special department in this country that deals with supernatural events.

Thinking this to himself, Uchiha Naruto asked calmly.

"and then?"

"I hope that you, Sir Samurai, will return with me to the Metropolitan Police Department for questioning and investigation. We have no ill intentions towards you; on the contrary, we are friendly and have always longed to cooperate with a superhuman like you."

"Is this what friendliness and goodwill are?"

Naruto Uchiha showed no fear and pointed to the dark muzzle of the gun pointed at him.

"Oh, please don't do this, sir! Please calm down!"

John Odagiri took two steps back with an unchanged expression, but his hands holding the gun did not waver at all, clearly showing that he was well-trained.

"No, no, no, I didn't want it to be like this either. After all, you are no ordinary person, Samurai. If you refuse to cooperate or even resist, there will be great danger. I hope you can understand."

"No, I can't understand!"

Naruto Uchiha smiled and placed his hand on the chakra blade at his waist, causing John Odagiri's expression to immediately turn somewhat unpleasant.

"Damn it, get your hand off the knife!"

"Your lightsaber only reached about five meters before, while we're about twelve or thirteen meters apart now. Can your katana really reach that far?"

A flash of anger crossed Odagiri John's eyes, but he managed to suppress it, speaking with a threatening tone.

"Furthermore, Sir Samurai may not know that the sidearm I'm carrying isn't the Nambu M60 for Japanese women, but a semi-automatic Sig Sauer P226 with a 20-round magazine and a muzzle velocity of 350 meters per second. At this distance, there's no way to dodge. I bet Sir Samurai will be riddled with bullets!"

"Heh... When did you come to the illusion that that sword strike was my full power?"

A mocking smile appeared on Uchiha Naruto's face, his Sharingan flashing with a scarlet light, and he drew his sword from its sheath with a backhand motion.

"F**K! Damn it, your eyes... what kind of demon are you?"

John Odagiri's expression changed, then he gritted his teeth and pulled the trigger!

"Da da da da—!"

Bullets shot out from the muzzle, the muzzle flashes particularly conspicuous in the night.

One after another, cold sword lights flashed in the moonlight, deflecting and slicing down more than a dozen bullets.

A few lucky bullets, because their trajectories were predicted to miss, managed to whiz past Naruto Uchiha.

"Lord, how is this possible?!"

After instinctively emptying the magazine, John Odagiri looked at the unharmed Naruto Uchiha with a livid face and disbelief in his eyes.

During his two years working in Japan after being transferred from the United States, John Odagiri had encountered many non-human beings, such as monsters. In most cases, bullets could harm those monsters, and many were even shot dead on the spot.

This is also the source of his confidence to break away from the main force and negotiate with Uchiha Naruto alone.

But the almost miraculous scene of a knife splitting a bullet still left John Odagiri speechless.

He quickly threw his empty Sig Sauer P226, now as useless as scrap metal, on the ground, and then reached for his bulging lower back with his right hand.

Suddenly, John Odagiri felt a breeze brush past him, and the young man in the black robe with red clouds brushed past him and leaped onto the archway.

The next moment, he felt a sharp pain in his right wrist!

"This is just a small warning."

Naruto Uchiha stood atop the archway, looking down without a trace of joy or sorrow.

Just then, a huge roar came from the sky, rapidly approaching this place.

A helicopter marked with the words "Warning Hall" hovered over the abandoned shopping mall, its searchlight casting a beam of light that struck Uchiha Naruto.

Accompanied by the piercing sound of sirens, three police cars crashed through the railings and rushed in.

"You...can't escape. Our Ministry of Public Security has sealed off both the front and rear exits...and more reinforcements are on their way..."

John Odagiri was pale, his forehead covered in fine beads of sweat. With practiced ease, he pulled out his belt and tied it around his hand to stop the bleeding. He knelt on the ground and said through gritted teeth.

"Don't move, or we'll shoot!"

"Odagiri, your hand... call an ambulance!"

"Target resists, free firing permitted!"

As the police officers got out of the police car, they saw this scene and drew their pistols without hesitation, aiming them at Uchiha Naruto who was standing on the archway.

"Hehe, it's a bit too bright."

The helicopter beam shone on Uchiha, who ignored the police officers surrounding him with guns, squinted slightly, and looked up at the sky.

A hint of displeasure appeared on his face. He opened and closed his hands, took a deep breath, and then exhaled into the air, sending a huge fireball soaring into the sky!

"Why is there a fire down there?"

"Hurry! Climb higher!"

Amid the angry shouts of the deputy observer, the pilot of the Metropolitan Police Department helicopter quickly climbed into the air. A fireball swept past the side of the fuselage a few meters away and exploded in the sky behind the helicopter.

A huge, dazzling firework burst open in the night sky, scattering sparks that landed on the whirring propellers and tail fins.

Although it wasn't shot down on the spot, the helicopter was covered in flames. Even though it could still fly normally, the pilot was terrified and quickly made an emergency landing in the open area of ​​the abandoned shopping mall.

"You bastard, what have you done?!"

"This is the second warning; next time it won't be so easy."

Amidst the stunned silence of the police officers and the horrified stares of John Odagiri, the mysterious young man in a black robe with red cloud patterns, his face expressionless, held his right index and middle fingers together, his hand raised in front of his chest, and vanished like smoke before everyone's eyes.
