I became Hokage in Tokyo

Chapters 257 & 258 Kaleidoscope: Tianyu Sells His Life

"Gurgle—"

A gigantic, indescribable monster, as large as a mountain, is a jumble of rotting flesh, filthy pustules, broken scales, and other filthy garbage. As it crawls, it makes strange noises that resemble the wheezing of intestines.

Several sticky, fleshy tentacles, as thick as buckets, were pulled out from the mountain of flesh and wrapped around Susanoo.

Before it even got close, it burst into flames as black as ink with a few "whoosh" sounds.

Amaterasu!

This is Itachi Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan, which can release jet-black flames over a wide area within his field of vision. These are black flames that will never be extinguished until they burn the object he gazes upon to ashes.

Several fleshy tentacles were instantly burned to ashes by Amaterasu.

Blood trickled from the corners of Naruto Uchiha's eyes, but his cold gaze remained unaffected as he began to focus on the main body of the mountain of flesh.

Wherever the eye could see, the pitch-black flames of Amaterasu rose up and burned fiercely!

The True Uchiha kills with his eyes!

"Ouch...it's so hot...no, it hurts!"

"...Water...water!"

"...I am immortal! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts!"

Under Amaterasu's scorching heat, large swaths of the filthy flesh of the mountain of flesh turned to ashes.

Although the mountain of flesh swelled and writhed, constantly growing from within, it could not keep up with the black flames that clung to its surface like maggots and continued to spread.

It's a natural counter to the mountain of flesh formed by the Yamata no Orochi, which regenerates almost without limit after being corrupted and going mad!

As one side gains and the other loses, the ten-meter-high mountain of flesh crumbles at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Above Sapporo, dark, swirling clouds rolled and surged, filling the gaping hole in the clouds that had been blasted open by Orochi's chakra cannon. Countless silver streaks descended from the sky amidst the sounds of wind and thunder.

Crackling and popping!

Even so, the torrential rain could not extinguish Amaterasu's anger.

"Why can't such a torrential downpour extinguish these pitch-black flames? What exactly are these flames?!"

The people in the Tokyo conference room stared in terror at the screen, where a vast expanse of black flames, as if painted with thick ink, stretched out before them.

Satellite imagery was also greatly affected by the heavy rain, but in the vicinity of the Sapporo war zone, drones and police officers dispatched by the local Metropolitan Police Department were also closely monitoring the situation on the ground.

Unexpectedly, after the resurrected Yamata no Orochi was blown apart by the giant, its flesh and blood could still reassemble, turning into such a shocking and disgusting monster!

Many people were so overwhelmed by the sight that they vomited.

But what followed was like a raging inferno, instantly spreading black flames across an area of ​​hundreds of meters, which was even more terrifying.

Look at these black flames that even torrential rain can't extinguish! It's not just the monster's flesh and blood that's burning; even the steel bars and concrete are on fire!

The ruins, once covered by black flames, burst into flames like dry tinder, turning into ashes.

No, it was less burned to ashes and more vaporized.

Just how hot are these black flames?

"It's terrifying! The flames are so black they can devour everything; they're like the fires of hell."

"Are black flames really that rare? Aren't flames also blue, purple, or other colorful?"

"Fool, these are completely incomparable. Black flames simply cannot exist in this world!"

While the conference room was filled with incompetent slackers, there were also some who had a basic understanding of physics and chemistry.

Combustion is a chemical reaction that releases heat and light. Light and heat are physical phenomena in the combustion process. Different substances emit light of various wavelengths when burned. Within the range that the naked eye can perceive, different wavelengths of light produce different colors.

Even junior high school students learn about flame tests in chemistry class.

Black is basically defined as the absence of any visible light entering a person's visual field, while flame is burning, which is emitting light and heat.

From a scientific point of view, black flames should not and cannot exist!

"At this point, why are you still saying it's impossible! Accept the facts."

But on second thought, it's not surprising that superhumans can summon black flames, since they can even use teleportation, a spell that shakes the very foundations of physics, with ease.

But this massive, all-consuming black flame is terrifying!

The Sharingan, like the eyes of God; the giant of light, capable of both offense and defense; and the black flames that incinerate everything in the world.

Just how many trump cards does Itachi of the Akatsuki organization have hidden?

If every member of the Akatsuki—no, every superhuman—was at Itachi's level, could humanity really defeat these monsters?

"The Yamata no Orochi is doomed."

"This time it's really over. Even the flesh and blood have been burned away. There's no way it can be resurrected."

As the mountain of flesh shrank under the relentless burning of the black flames, everyone in the conference room had the same thought.

"Boom boom boom".

A flash of lightning streaked through the clouds, followed by a crackling sound as the dense raindrops were kept out by Susanoo. Naruto Uchiha watched all of this with a cold expression.

The Amaterasu in the formula book has the same scorching temperature as the sun, which is why it got the name Amaterasu, representing the sun god.

Although its performance in Naruto was slightly weaker, it is still an extremely terrifying Mangekyou Sharingan eye technique. Anyone caught in its gaze will be burned to nothing, leaving not even bone fragments.

"Hiss!!"

Several bloodcurdling howls and roars, like those of wild beasts, came from within the mountain of flesh. It writhed a few times, shedding a large piece of the burning Amaterasu skin to reveal the rotten flesh inside.

With a "whoosh," another large chunk of meat covered in black flames was flung off the main body and burned to nothingness before it even hit the ground.

The meat mountain seemed to be trying to escape the judgment of the calamity fire by abandoning its tail, just like a gecko.

"That's right, this method of defense is correct."

Just like the samurai in the Land of Iron whose armor was stripped off, and the Fourth Raikage who bravely cut off his left hand burned by Amaterasu, quickly severing the burning part, this is indeed the correct tactic to deal with the never-ending Amaterasu.

However, this was all in vain!

Naruto Uchiha opened his eyes, and black flames once again blazed on the new flesh exposed after the Mountain of Flesh was peeled away.

His kaleidoscope eye technique doesn't carry that much risk, so he can use it without any scruples.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

The black Amaterasu fire spread like wildfire, almost completely engulfing the mountain of flesh in just a few minutes.

Just then, Naruto Uchiha swiftly manipulated Susanoo, grabbing a chunk of flesh taller than a person from the black flames.

Naruto Uchiha's right eye instantly transformed from a black triangular windmill into a six-pointed star. After using Kagutsuchi to extinguish Amaterasu on the flesh, he revealed Higuchi Orochi, who was barely alive with only half a body remaining inside.

"you……"

Higuchi Orochi weakly opened its eyes, its vertical pupils trembling violently.

"I told you, these eyes will make you vomit everything."

Naruto Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan flashed with a mysterious and eerie blood-red light, his gaze seemingly solidified into a sharp sword, piercing through Orochi Higuchi's vertical pupils.

High-level Sharingan can also read memories.

Higuchi Orochi is one of the earliest yokai to emerge since 1960. It also established a secret organization in Tokyo to plot treason, so its intelligence must be of considerable value.

Naruto Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan roughly opened Higuchi Orochi's memories. Of course, he wouldn't look at everything in detail; he would only select the most memorable fragments from Higuchi Orochi's mind.

"They established cults to plunder people's wealth for bribery, coercion, and enticement, and to purchase weapons and ammunition."

A strange look flashed across Uchiha Naruto's face. Higuchi Orochi's idea was truly ingenious. He understood the power of humanity under modern technology, so he lurked in human society, waiting for the right moment.

"The collaborator is the head of the Fourth Investigation Division, Chief Akagi? The Metropolitan Police Department has been infiltrated to this level by a monster. I think it's doomed."

The guns and ammunition stored by Higuchi Orochi at his other bases in Tokyo, as well as the passwords to his email addresses and bank accounts, were also discovered.

"Horned warriors, king generals, and..."

Naruto Uchiha's face showed an expression of "I knew it."

"A great yokai born in 1960, just like Higuchi Orochi. They must know each other. There are seven of them in total."

Naruto Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan can even be traced back to parts of his birth that even Orochimaru Higuchi couldn't clearly remember.

"Higuchi Orochi's earliest memory is the same as the monster that fell from the crimson moon; all yokai hatched from spores scattered from the moon. It's just that they didn't grow as fast."

"And what Higuchi Orochi saw in the Crimson Moon was..."

"Hiss hiss hiss!"

Higuchi Orochi, which was being held in Susanoo's hand, suddenly contorted its face and began to struggle violently.

"Is it painful? It'll be over soon," Uchiha Naruto said indifferently.

"It's not over yet! I am immortal!"

A hint of madness flashed in Higuchi Orochi's vertical pupils, and his voice was filled with resentment.

"Next time, I'll definitely steal your Mangekyou Sharingan! Hiss hiss hiss!"

"There won't be a next time. Sapporo will be your final resting place."

"Hehehehehe, you can't possibly kill me. Even if you could defeat me, you could never truly kill me! No matter how many times you try to kill me, I will crawl up from hell and strangle you!"

A strange and cunning smile appeared on Higuchi Orochi's snake face, and half of its body suddenly began to rot, turning into a lump of rotten flesh that slipped from between Susanoo's fingers.

However, Naruto Uchiha remained calm and composed, turning his head to the east as if his gaze could pierce through the ruins and sink into the ground.

"I've already said, there won't be a next time."

The ground of Sapporo collapsed, exposed by the absolute violence of Susanoo.

Because it is an island nation surrounded by the sea, with abundant ocean moisture and frequent typhoons, Japan's sewer system is reasonably well-maintained.

Even Sapporo is no exception; its drainage and flood control pipes are made of concrete, and the main pipes are wide enough for a horse to run through.

A strange white snake, more than half a meter long and as thick as a water pipe, was struggling to crawl along the floor of the sewer pipe.

This strange snake even had a head with disheveled hair, vaguely resembling a human face.

Higuchi Orochi was still clinging to life.

"Hiss hiss hiss, this is my escape route!"

Higuchi Orochi's face showed both smugness and fear.

There was some fear of Itachi Uchiha's Susanoo, but even more so, there was lingering fear of Hiyue.

Although the Orochi technique obtained from the Crimson Moon is powerful, it also has a strong mental pollution effect, causing it to lose its mind and become completely deranged.

Looking back now, it was all a confused and crazy tantrum.

If it were the cautious creature it once was, it wouldn't have confronted the superhuman head-on; instead, it would have sought an opportunity to escape immediately.

It was only after Susanoo destroyed Yamata no Orochi and separated most of the flesh and blood contaminated by the Crimson Moon that Higuchi regained its senses, managed to squeeze out its last bit of power to expel its main body, and escape through the sewers.

However, it is now extremely weak, almost as weak as when it was first hatched in the nineteenth year of the Heisei era.

It might be torn to shreds by a stray dog.

Eh?

Why is it called incubation?

Never mind all that, the appearance of Scarlet Moon signifies that times have changed.

Japan is bound to become increasingly chaotic in the future.

As long as we lie low again, wait for the right opportunity, and ride the wind, the time to transform from a snake into a dragon will surely come!

By then, those Mangekyou Sharingan eyes will definitely...

"boom!"

Suddenly, the top of the sewer pipe above Higuchi Orochi's head collapsed, and dim light and rainwater poured down. A petite girl carrying a samurai sword jumped down.

"finally found you."

Tsukimi Riinaba? !

How is that possible? How did she find me hiding in the sewer?

Tsukimi Riha, dressed in tattered clothes and covered in wounds, had a bulging vein at the corner of her right eye, her white eye flashing brightly, and a chilling killing intent emanating from her entire body.

I transplanted my own X-ray vision into her!

Is this a case of "those who do many evil deeds will surely perish," or "karma and retribution"?

"Hey, is it possible to reconcile?"

Although Higuchi Orochi really wanted to say that, it knew it was wishful thinking, so it quickly turned around and fled backward with all its might.

"call."

Tsukimi Inaba took a breath, and Wind Release-type chakra shape transformation wrapped around the katana, causing the blade to tremble slightly and emit a soft hum.

With a single step, he moved like a rabbit, his body following closely behind the Higuchi Serpent.

A sword strike was unleashed!

Cut the white serpent vertically from tail to head along a line.

"Snapped!"

The two halves of the Higuchi Serpent's body fell to the ground and were still twitching.

Hiss! I haven't even obtained the Mangekyou Sharingan yet, nor have I grasped all the truths of the world. How can I die here!

"Clang clang clang!"

With bloodshot eyes, Tsukimi Inaba raised her katana high above her head and slashed downwards repeatedly like a madman. Sparks flew as the blade struck the ground, and she was unaware that her hands were splitting open and bleeding.

"That's enough, Tsukimi-san. It's over."

A hand reached out from the darkness and supported Tsukimi Inaba's wrist.

"Naru-sama Uchiha...?"

Naruto Uchiha glanced at Orochimaru Higuchi, who had been chopped into mincemeat and whose shape was no longer discernible.

[Kill complete, calculating reward]

【Ninjade*1000】

[Acquired: Orochi Technique]

Hearing the system notification, Uchiha Naruto felt a great sense of relief.

Orochimaru's style of ninjutsu is particularly disgusting in this respect; its vitality is even more tenacious than that of a water bear, and it may escape if you are not careful.

Higuchi Orochi was not Orochimaru after all, and did not have as many backup plans as Orochimaru. This time, he was truly dead.

"Congratulations, Tsukimi-san."

Uchiha Naruto released Tsukimi Riinaba's arm, patted her hands lightly a few times, and made a clap of applause.

"Lord Uchiha, thank you..."

Tsukimi Inaba gave Uchiha Naruto a forced smile, then closed her eyes, tilted her head, and collapsed to the ground.

Naruto Uchiha stepped forward to check on her and, using his current medical ninjutsu, diagnosed that Inaba Tsukimi had only fainted due to the emotional turmoil of extreme joy and sorrow, coupled with the exhaustion of her chakra and physical strength, and was otherwise unharmed.

"The revenge drama in the moonlit village has come to an end. It's time for the Sapporo festival to draw to a close as well."

The three tomoe in Naruto Uchiha's eyes connected to form a brand new pattern.

"I'll use my Kaleidoscope Eye Technique, and Tianyu will risk his life for me."
