I became Hokage in Tokyo

Chapter 256 Chapter 257 Amaterasu

"Boom boom boom—"

In the cumulonimbus clouds above Sapporo, it seemed as if the god of thunder was beating his war drums, with thunder rumbling and lightning bolts like dragons and snakes flashing through the dark clouds.

Crackle, crackle.

The dark, heavy rain clouds, which had accumulated a large amount of moisture, finally succumbed to the pull of gravity, and a torrential downpour began with howling winds.

Amidst the thunderstorm, explosions, unlike the sound of thunder, echoed one after another. An F-15J fighter jet belonging to the Air Self-Defense Force exploded and disintegrated in mid-air, with the wreckage falling downwards and exploding into fireballs in the urban area below.

Naruto Uchiha watched with a blank expression as the lucky pilots ejected from the cockpit, opened their parachutes, and slowly descended to the ground.

His right index finger twitched slightly, as if he was about to point it out.

With a flick of his finger, Uchiha Naruto could wipe out the names on the Book of Life and Death, and the Yasaka Magatama of Susanoo could obliterate all the surviving pilots from twenty or thirty miles away.

However, in the end, Naruto Uchiha remained indifferent and did not make a move.

This wasn't out of pity, but because these ant-like mortals weren't worth Uchiha Naruto's intervention a second time.

Consider it a blessing from heaven, a chance to escape with my life. So, filled with gratitude and yet immersed in fear, I'll just keep living like this.

Once upon a time, he was just an ordinary person. Although he had the Sharingan, he was still wary of the state apparatus. But now that he has awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, even the bombardment of fighter jets cannot harm him.

Looking back now, it feels like a lifetime ago.

"Ah, so this is the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan? It can turn the world upside down with a flick of its wrist, and even an entire nation's fighter squadron could be wiped out with a snap of its fingers!"

Naruto Uchiha spread his hands in front of him. Not only was there the Mangekyou Sharingan power flowing from his eyes, but also the chakra surging from his limbs and bones. The unprecedented power made his heart surge!

The Mangekyou Sharingan and Susanoo's near-divine power made Naruto Uchiha feel omnipotent.

"Hahahaha!"

Meanwhile, in the conference room in Tokyo, witnessing the complete annihilation of all twenty-four F-15Js of the 201st Squadron of the 2nd Air Wing, everyone fell into a deathly silence so heavy it was hard to breathe.

"This is impossible! This devil deserves to go to hell!"

Major General Woodman of Yokota Air Base was the first to react, roaring at Susanoo on the big screen.

"And why are you Japanese so weak? Where did your courage to launch kamikaze attacks go when you fought us before?!"

With a grim expression, Major General Woodman turned to the Minister of Defense and launched into a tirade: "If your fighter jets hadn't deserted their posts and instead followed my orders to approach and strike, we could have definitely taken down this monster!"

The Secretary of Defense ignored the US Major General's incompetent rage.

He felt dizzy and the next second he collapsed into his seat, pale-faced, clutching his chest.

The Japan Air Self-Defense Force only has two hundred F-15Js, and more than one-tenth of them have already been lost?!

The Defense Minister is heartbroken.

Japan was the first country in East Asia to deploy third-generation heavy fighter jets. Its Air Self-Defense Force dominated the 1990s with its F-15Js, leaving other East Asian countries far behind in terms of equipment.

However, times have changed, and the F-15J is now an old aircraft that has been in service for more than two or three decades, facing problems such as aging parts and outdated electronic equipment.

However, it is not very realistic to completely replace them with F-35 fighter jets.

This is no longer the era of Japan's bubble economy, where the government was wealthy and powerful, waving Japanese yen and clamoring to buy up the United States. The Japanese government also has no surplus funds.

In the end, they could only scrape together $45 billion to allow Boeing to upgrade 98 F-15Js, costing an average of more than $5000 million per aircraft.

One of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force's only eight air units equipped with F-15Js was wiped out, a devastating and crippling loss.

"It must be because the yield is insufficient! Send the rest of the Air Self-Defense Force squadrons over there, equipped with even more powerful missiles. AGM-65! If that doesn't work, use bunker buster bombs and thermobaric weapons. I don't believe that monster can withstand it!"

Major General Woodman, his eyes red, waved his arm excitedly and shouted at the top of his lungs.

That's right, that's it!

The medium-range air-to-air missiles carried by the F-15J are not particularly powerful; there are plenty of artillery shells with far greater destructive power!

As long as the explosive charge keeps piling up, we'll definitely be able to blow that monster to pieces!

He now looks like a gambler who has gone all in.

"Major General Woodman, please calm down."

The Superintendent General of Police quickly stepped forward to calm him down.

Without knowing the giant's defensive capabilities and attack range, the piecemeal tactic is utterly foolish.

Regardless of whether the Japan Air Self-Defense Force's F-15Js were equipped with the aforementioned bombs, when the Titans launched a long-range strike using the Magatama, even the F-15Js that had fled 30 kilometers away were shot down.

The new F-15J formations would likely be shot down before they even get close enough to launch their missiles.

Although long-range air-to-air missiles and ballistic missiles can launch attacks from hundreds or even thousands of kilometers away, they cannot guarantee that they will not be intercepted.

Even if it hits, the second-form giant is completely unharmed under the bombardment of the F-15J squadron, making it difficult to calculate how much weapon power would be needed to break through its defenses.

If a high-yield missile were shot down mid-flight and fell into a city, the resulting disaster would be unimaginable.

The second form of the giant is both offensive and defensive, and is virtually flawless!

"General Woodman, it's thundering in Sapporo now, and the F-15J is no longer suitable for combat in this weather."

The Superintendent General gave Major General Woodman a suitable reason to step down.

"This damn weather!"

After venting his anger, Major General Woodman realized his folly and backed down, ceasing his hysterical shouting.

"Damn it, are we just going to stand by and watch the Akatsuki swagger around on our territory?!"

"If we really use even more powerful weapons of mass destruction and something goes wrong, who will take responsibility? You?"

"You! What else can you do besides contradicting others! What are we going to do now?!"

The important figures in the conference room were all so anxious that they were restless and uneasy.

Some people want to adopt a tough stance and continue the attack, but are unwilling to take responsibility;

There are also people who, even if they can't achieve anything themselves, can't stand by and watch their political enemies shine. They immediately confront any objection the other party has, and at this critical juncture, they don't forget to fight among themselves.

Many others were like headless flies, not knowing what to do.

The entire conference room was filled with smoke and in complete chaos.

"Wait! Look at the screen, Orochi has come back to life!" someone suddenly shouted.

"Hahahaha!"

After laughing wildly for a while, a glimmer of clarity appeared in Uchiha Naruto's eyes. He let out a long breath and calmed down.

The power of the Mangekyou Sharingan almost caused Naruto Uchiha to lose himself; now is not the time for pride and complacency.

Neither the Mangekyou Sharingan nor Susanoo have evolved to their peak.

This is just the first step. The Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, even the Rinnegan, and the Complete Susanoo capable of leveling several mountains with a single strike—these true divine powers still await Naruto Uchiha to seize.

"Hiss hiss hiss!"

"Hiss hiss hiss!"

"Hehehe, I'm back to life!"

Amidst the city ruins ravaged by missile bombardment, several hideous, gigantic snake heads rose up, and the roar of the Yamata no Orochi once again echoed through the sky.

Naruto Uchiha glanced at him, his face full of helplessness.

During the previous offensive, the 201st Squadron of the 2nd Air Wing concentrated its bombardment on his Susanoo, which gave Yamata no Orochi a chance to catch its breath, allowing it time to recover from its injuries and regenerate its flesh and head.

The Yamata no Orochi's vitality is so disgusting that it's numbingly unbearable.

This time, the Yamata no Orochi's reborn form became even uglier and more bizarre, with each head resembling both a human and a snake.

Most of the white scales had fallen off, and the body surface was covered with bulging pustules and tumors, which would occasionally burst out with a "pop" sound, oozing out colorful thick fluid that corroded the rubble into residue.

One look at it and your SAN value will plummet.

"As expected of Orochimaru's ultimate ninjutsu, the Eight-Headed Serpent Technique is truly disgusting. However, that's enough for now!"

The seven-headed Yamata no Orochi before them was merely a half-finished version of the Yamata no Orochi technique, possessing near-Kage-level strength. After repeated rebirths, its aura had already begun to weaken, revealing a facade of strength masking inner weakness.

Now, Naruto Uchiha's second form of Susanoo, activated by his Mangekyou Sharingan, far surpasses it in both power and size.

Even if it were to go head-to-head with Orochimaru's fully mastered Eight-Headed Serpent Technique, it would be no match for him.

Naruto Uchiha, piloting the second form of Susanoo, slowly moved towards Orochi.

"Sizzle sizzle—!"

The seven bizarre heads of the Yamata no Orochi, a fusion of human and snake, opened simultaneously, accumulating chakra within their massive mouths. Dark purple energy, like electric currents, intertwined and emitted a buzzing sound.

Finally, a dark purple sphere of light with a diameter of over ten meters condensed in front of the Yamata no Orochi.

"Hiss hiss hiss, die!"

All of Orochi's heads slammed forward simultaneously, unleashing a massive, dark purple chakra bullet that shot towards Susanoo a hundred meters away.

The unstoppable, terrifying chakra bullets blew away the broken walls and ruins along the way, like building blocks, in one fell swoop.

"All show and no substance."

As Naruto Uchiha's black triangular windmills spun in his eyes, his Sharingan eyes, sharp as fire, instantly revealed the true nature of the massive dark purple light blast.

His eyes revealed a hint of disdain; this was nothing more than a super-large chakra cannon condensed with high-density chakra.

"It's not a Tailed Beast Ball, there's no need to use the Yata Mirror!"

In its second form, Susanoo's four enormous arms simultaneously reached forward to catch the massive chakra cannon spewed by the Yamata no Orochi.

"Bang bang bang—!"

The ground trembled slightly, and Susanoo was forced back a few steps by the impact of the Great Chakra Cannon. Under the burning and friction of the high-concentration chakra, the flesh of its four hands was worn away, revealing the bones.

"drink!"

Uchiha Naruto roared and simultaneously exerted force on all four arms of his Susanoo, pushing upwards!

This super chakra bullet, which contained all the power of Orochi, shot straight toward the dark, heavy clouds that were pouring rain.

"boom!!!"

In an instant, the weather changed dramatically. The dark, chaotic rain clouds that blotted out the sky were pushed by the violent shockwave, rolling to both sides like a black curtain.

Like the sun breaking through the clouds, a huge hole hundreds or even thousands of meters wide was punched in the clouds.

The torrential rain was brought to a halt.

Naruto Uchiha leaped into the air, riding his Susanoo, and raised his right arm high, slamming it down heavily on the Yamata no Orochi!

"Thump!!!"

The earth seemed to turn into a water surface, rippling and folding, and then huge cracks appeared. The atmosphere was compressed into violent shock waves that swept and spread in all directions.

The earth shook violently, and the entire city of Sapporo groaned in agony!

This is the absolute violence of a god, its power surpassing all previous attacks of Susanoo.

The Yamata no Orochi, struck head-on, had no chance of survival; its entire body exploded and shattered into pieces.

Bright sunlight streamed down from the torn clouds in the sky and shone on Susanoo.

The mythical giant, towering like a mountain, cast a vast shadow under the sunlight, its sacred and majestic aura spreading outwards, making even those watching on screen tremble with fear.

It's almost overwhelming, this absolute violence that transcends human comprehension!

The moment Susanoo shattered the Yamata no Orochi, Professor Nagayama felt as if the myth recorded in the Kojiki had come to pass, and he was already moved to tears:

"This can't possibly be Ara-Kumo; this is the incarnation of Susanoo-no-Mikoto!"

But the Yamata no Orochi, now dead and mangled, refused to leave. Its shattered flesh and scales writhed on the ground, coalescing and piling up higher and higher.

In the end, it formed a filthy mountain of flesh that was over ten meters high, the size of a playground, and enormous in volume.

It was no longer recognizable as the original Yamata no Orochi, nor as a giant reptile; it was simply an indescribable mountain of flesh.

"Dragon...snake? No...hiss hiss hiss."

"Hehehe... Scarlet Moon... Mother..."

"...The Sharingan...I want to possess everything in this world!"

Naruto Uchiha watched all this expressionlessly. His Susanoo threw out a Yasaka Magatama, and the moment it pierced through the mountain of flesh, the muddy flesh glued the wound shut.

This terrifying regenerative power, at first glance, appears as if the Yasaka Magatama is passing through the mountain of flesh like a phantom.

"...I am...immortal..."

"Are you really struggling to survive?"

This kind of vitality is no longer that of a living being, but rather a curse that is neither able to live nor die.

sad.

Even Naruto Uchiha felt a sense of pity.

He closed his eyes, and tears of blood streamed down his face.

His eyes snapped open, radiating a sinister, blood-red light, and the black triangular windmill began to spin violently.

Amaterasu!

The black calamity fire that burned everything in heaven and earth descended.
