I became Hokage in Tokyo

Chapters 251 & 252: The Power of God, Susanoo!

"Aaaaaaah!!!"

He pulled out an automatic pistol and aimed it at the giant snake that was ravaging the city. Inspector Shimono, his eyes red, screamed hysterically, emptying all the bullets in the magazine in one go. Then he staggered and fell to the ground.

He fired the gun less to do something and more to vent his fear and pain.

Even the heavy weapons of the Hokkaido Mobile Squadron were no match for the Yamata no Orochi; the pistol of the Shimono Inspector was nothing more than a toy with a bang.

"Damn it! Why is there... such a monster! Damn it... beast!"

The disbanded inspector looked back at the broken walls and ruins behind him, wondering how many of his colleagues were buried in the rubble. His face contorted, he slammed his fist into the ground, leaving his fist bruised and purple.

The monster didn't even attack the officials on its own initiative. It was just that when it moved, its thick tail, as thick as a cave tunnel, swept by unintentionally and routed the police organization. Only a few lucky ones were still standing.

Orochi didn't consider the hundreds of police officers deployed on the street a threat at all, just like a person walking doesn't care if there's an ant on the ground or a group of ants, it's all the same.

The feeling of stepping on them is the same; even if ants huddle together, they can't even make humans feel uncomfortable.

Yes, the police are state coercive forces, part of the country's armed forces, but so what?

Maybe it's a larger soldier ant with teeth in the ant colony, but it's still not an ant. So what if you step on it and kill it?

"Ah! No!!!"

Inspector Shimono struggled to his feet, and looking at the devastating scene of Sapporo's streets being ravaged by the Yamata no Orochi, resembling a brutal urban battle in Ukraine, he roared with bloodshot eyes.

Beneath the thick, dark clouds, amidst the howling wind and thunder, came the cries of survivors and their calls for loved ones.

Everywhere you look, there are piles of collapsed buildings forming ruins, cracked concrete roads crushed by the Yamata no Orochi, sparks flying from broken streetlights and utility poles, and even several places burning fiercely.

The once bustling city of Sapporo has been transformed into this!

One-third of Hokkaido's five million inhabitants live in Sapporo. How many people will die or be injured in this sudden disaster?

Thousands? Several thousand? Or more?

The last time Japan experienced such devastating casualties was the Great East Japan Earthquake of March 11, 1931.

The resignation of the superintendent was something he dared not imagine any further.

He deeply regretted his actions. If he had known the consequences would be so dire, Superintendent Shimono would have immediately sounded the alarm and evacuated everyone from the shopping district from the city center, instead of letting them gather around and watch.

However, this was not entirely the responsibility of Inspector Shimono. The paranormal incident, which was originally only affecting one floor of a commercial building, was handled by him according to the Metropolitan Police Department's pre-arranged plan.

No one could have predicted that the situation would take such a dramatic turn, with even a great demon like Yamata no Orochi, who appears in the Kojiki, descending upon Sapporo!

Without a doubt, this was the most widespread, destructive, and deadliest supernatural event since the beginning of the Heisei era in 1999.

Even Jiraiya and Sasori of the Red Sand were nothing compared to each other in the battle in Ota Ward.

"Hey, hey, hey, Inspector Shimotsuke, are you still alive? Answer me if you hear me."

Just as Inspector Shimono was kneeling on the ground, tears streaming down his face and utterly dejected, he received a call from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department through his earpiece.

"I'm here! I'm still here!" Superintendent Shimono wiped away his tears and quickly replied.

"Great! Superintendent Shimotsuke! We can't contact Chief Maeno of the Hokkaido Police Headquarters. What's the situation with the police forces on the ground? Can they still be organized?"

"Minister Maeno has died in the line of duty."

Right under the nose of Inspector Shimono, Minister Maeno was incredibly unlucky to be run over by the tail of the Yamata no Orochi, disappearing into the ground and his body could not be found.

Inspector Shimono glanced around. Although some officers had escaped, they were all bleeding from head wounds and looked terrified and dazed, clearly having lost their will to fight.

"There are only a dozen or so survivors left, but our equipment is completely useless against Orochi!"

Superintendent Shimonoseki roared, "We need support! The SAT, no, we need the Self-Defense Forces! Tanks, planes, missiles, damn it, bring them all over here!"

"Shimotsuke Tamotsu, please calm down."

The voice on the other end paused for a moment, as if confirming something, before continuing:

"The 201st Fighter Squadron of the 2nd Air Wing of the Northern Air Self-Defense Force has departed from Chitose Air Base in Hokkaido. Superintendent Shimono, please organize the personnel and prepare to guide the fighter jets for the attack!"

"Got it! I'm going to kill this monster!"

The vigilante, Shimono, immediately revealed a look of ecstatic joy.

Although pistols and assault rifles were ineffective against Orochi, they did break through its defenses. While they didn't cause any serious injury, it must have just been because the explosive power was insufficient!

A single air-to-ground missile launched by a fighter jet can blow up an armored vehicle or a warship. So what if the Yamata no Orochi is big? As long as it is made of flesh and blood, one shot will definitely seriously injure it.

It's not like Godzilla, a monster with unscientific scales. When a missile hits it, it's just a burst of fire, not even a tickle.

Shimonoseki watched with hatred as the Yamata no Orochi wreaked havoc on the city with its heads.

Humanity's military technology will not be inferior to monsters like Yamata no Orochi, which are useless except for their enormous size.

I'll take you down right now!

Just then, Inspector Shimono saw a giant skeletal arm emerge from the sky and crash down on Orochi!

What is this now?!

Shimono, the police inspector, strained to see into the distance. A huge skeletal arm connected to a row of orange ribs, within which a man dressed in a black robe with red clouds could be vaguely seen.

"I have an update! Yes, as I mentioned before, the Akatsuki's Suzaku 'Itachi' who was on the scene is currently fighting Orochi!"

After crushing one of Orochi's heads, Itachi Uchiha descended from mid-air to the ground, protected by his ribs.

"This terrifying power, the power of a god? What is it?!"

Higuchi Orochi's body emerged from the mouth of the other head of Yamata no Orochi, but the next second, it was grabbed by the neck by a skeletal arm and pulled to the ground.

Higuchi Orochi, who shed his snakeskin and became a "dragon," once again transformed back into a snake wallowing in the mud and sand.

Higuchi Orochi's vertical pupils contracted to thin slits, his eyes fixed intently on the captivating Mangekyou Sharingan within Itachi Uchiha's eye sockets, which were surrounded by ribs.

"And your Sharingan, why did it turn into this shape? It's amazing!"

"This is the power residing in the Mangekyou Sharingan; it is absolute violence symbolizing destruction and annihilation."

The black triangular windmills in Itachi Uchiha's eyes slowly turned as he spoke calmly.

Although his Sharingan had not yet reached LV4, he had acquired two Mangekyou Sharingan techniques during the two Scarlet Moon events, one for Sasuke and one for Itachi!

Susanoo was also activated.

The Susanoo of the Uchiha clan is the ultimate eye technique that materializes massive amounts of chakra for combat; its shape and color vary from person to person.

He used Itachi Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan as a medium to transform his chakra into the same nature as Itachi's, thus unleashing a Susanoo with the same appearance, abilities, and color.

Uchiha Itachi is currently using only the initial form of Susanoo, with only his right arm and ribs transformed. However, even so, it is still the strongest weapon that combines offense and defense!

"Ah, amazing! The power of the Sharingan can be elevated to its ultimate level once again! I want that kind of power so badly..."

Higuchi Oochi groaned, speaking in a tone close to an aria.

Uchiha Itachi frowned and suddenly opened his eyes.

"Ouch! It's so hot!"

The Higuchi Orochi in Yamata no Orochi's mouth screamed as if it were being tortured by flames in purgatory.

Sharingan, Shiranui Technique!

"Ouch! It hurts so much, it's so hot!! Ah, hehehehehe!"

After a series of unbearable screams, Higuchi Orochi suddenly let out a chilling laugh, and then its body began to fester and turn into a lump of rotten flesh.

The other head of the Yamata no Orochi opened and flicked out its tongue, which was connected to the Higuchi Orochi.

"Hehehe, you think you can still control me with illusions? I have seven heads now! Hehehehehe!"

"The Sharingan... Ah, ah, I want it so badly! I want it so badly!"

Higuchi Orochi laughed maniacally, scratching and clawing at his face, leaving deep bloody gashes. Not satisfied with that, he gouged out his own snake eyes!

"Ah, this feels so good! Hehehehehehe!"

Itachi Uchiha's expression was also somewhat subtle.

His own eye power had not yet truly reached the level of the Mangekyou Sharingan, but Orochi's ability to break free from his genjutsu was probably inseparable from his current insane mental state.

In a sense, is it a case of two negatives making a positive?

"I want the Sharingan's power more and more! If I just swallow you whole, your Sharingan will be mine, right? Hehehe!"

Higuchi Orochi retracted into the mouth of Yamata no Orochi. Its head hissed and opened its massive maw full of fangs, biting down on the orange ribs that were encasing Uchiha Itachi.

Uchiha Itachi neither dodged nor evaded; the giant jaws of the Eight-Headed Serpent snapped against Susanoo, sending sparks flying.

The python overestimated its abilities and tried to swallow the giant elephant, but it was all in vain.

"snort!"

The Susanoo's skeletal right arm suddenly rose up, grabbing and twisting upwards.

As easily as picking a ripe fruit, they twisted off one of the Yamata no Orochi's heads!

Toss it backwards.

"Bang!"

With a muffled thunderous sound, the head smashed a black sedan in the parking space flat.

Higuchi Orochi's body emerged once again from the other head of Yamata no Orochi.

"It's no use, I'm already an immortal dragon! Even if you cut off one of my heads, a new one will grow back immediately. You can't possibly cut off all seven of my heads at once, can you?! Hehehehehe!"

As they spoke, flesh grew back from the severed necks of the snakes whose heads had been torn off by Susanoo, and in an instant, the snake heads grew back.

Itachi Uchiha frowned. If they kept playing whack-a-mole like this, it would never end.

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

The Yamata no Orochi, over twenty meters tall and fifty meters long, swung its white heads like a moving snow peak or an avalanche, pressing down menacingly towards Uchiha Itachi.

When the enormous body moved, it was as if the earth itself was experiencing an earthquake!

Uchiha Itachi, controlling Susanoo, swiftly severed the head of Orochi, and foul-smelling blood gushed out like a burst sewer pipe.

However, the Yamata no Orochi was fearless, and its other white snake heads frantically bit at Susanoo.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

Susanoo repeatedly chopped off the head of the Yamata no Orochi, slamming it heavily to the ground and even blocking the road.

However, the Yamata no Orochi seems to have endless vitality; no matter how many times its head is cut off, it can immediately grow back.

Two fists can't beat four hands. Itachi Uchiha's Susanoo in its initial form only had one arm, while Orochi had more than four heads.

One snake head bit Susanoo's fist, while the other two heads stretched their necks and tightly wrapped around Susanoo's arms, making it impossible for him to break free for a moment.

Taking advantage of this gap, the other four heads came crashing down like battering rams.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"...

The earth collapsed and mountains crumbled!

Crashed!

It was as if the clutter on the table was being slapped by an invisible giant hand. The surrounding ruins and cars bounced along with it, and the few remaining buildings began to sway precariously.

Uchiha Itachi's Susanoo was also smashed into the ground by Orochi's repeated headbutts.

Even the ribs of Susanoo have begun to show cracks!

Uchiha Itachi showed no sign of panic, but instead appeared thoughtful.

Orochimaru's perfect Eight-Headed Serpent Technique possessed even more terrifying vitality and combat power than what was before him. In the end, Itachi Uchiha's Susanoo used the legendary Totsuka Blade, a dreamlike sword that could pull people into a state of eternal oblivion, to successfully seal him away.

His Sharingan has not reached the Mangekyou level. With his current eye power, he cannot unleash Susanoo to the point where he can use the Totsuka Blade.

However, it's unnecessary to use a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

"I haven't told you the name of this divine power yet."

Uchiha Itachi smiled coldly, the triangular black windmills in his eyes spinning.

On top of the initial form of Susanoo, another arm, spine, and neck bone grew out and rose higher and higher, flashing with orange-red light, and condensed into a majestic and terrifying skull!

"Susanoo!"

"Let the myth descend once more! A thousand years from now, Takehachi Susanoo-no-Mikoto will once again slay the Yamata no Orochi!"
