I became Hokage in Tokyo

Chapters 266 and 267: Naga Shrine, the Secret of the Uchiha Clan

Uchiha Senmon raised his hands blankly, his palms were crimson, sticky and slightly warm, it was Akagi-senpai's blood.

I killed him with my own hands!

If I hadn't pushed myself so hard, perhaps this tragedy wouldn't have happened.

Uchiha Senmon looked grief-stricken and somewhat bewildered.

"Thank you, Akagi-senpai... Hehe... Haha!"

After a long silence, Uchiha Senmon raised his head. His grief-stricken expression gradually twisted. He clutched the front of his shirt tightly with one hand, and pressed his bloodied right hand to his face, letting out a maniacal laugh that sounded like weeping.

"Ha, ahahahaha! Mikoto, finally, finally we've found the whereabouts of the Two-Faced Demon!"

For the past ten years, day and night, the fire of revenge has burned fiercely in my heart.

The thought of his wife being decapitated by the Two-Faced Demon and never being able to see her one last time caused Uchiha Senmon unbearable pain, burning not only his body but also his soul.

Now, I can finally avenge Misaka!

His bloodied right hand was haphazardly scratching his face, and Uchiha Senmon's handsome face was covered with totems like a berserker, making him look somewhat ferocious and terrifying.

Bloodlust enveloped the black and white pupils, and the first black tomoe appeared.

"Parasitically within the cabinet... Which one exactly?"

However, after their blood of vengeance cooled down a little, the Uchiha Senmon also realized the difficulties and dangers that lay ahead.

Although they had obtained clues, they never expected that the two-faced demon had infiltrated the power center of the country.

"Never trust the Metropolitan Police Department!"

The warning that Section Chief Akagi gave before his death echoed in the mind of Uchiha Senmon.

For ten years, the Uchiha Senmon worked tirelessly and without complaint in the Fourth Investigation Division because it was the place where they were most likely to find out the whereabouts of the Two-Faced Demon, and they could also use the power of the government to take revenge if necessary.

However, the Metropolitan Police Department can no longer be trusted.

That's right, the Uchiha Sage Gate was just a minor police force.

Without any evidence or knowledge of which cabinet member has been parasitized by the two-faced demon, rashly using the Metropolitan Police Department's resources to pursue them would only alert the enemy and could even lead to their use of power to kill them.

Furthermore, Chief Akagi revealed just the tip of the iceberg of the Metropolitan Police Department's dark side, including human experimentation, which chilled Uchiha Senmonchi to the bone.

Perhaps, as Senior Akagi said, this country is rotten to the core.

Even so, the Uchiha Sage Sect still had to wallow in the rotten mire and even climb higher in order to gain higher authority, drag the Two-Faced Demon out from the center of power, and tear him to pieces!

Even if it means being swallowed up by the dark side of this country, I would not hesitate.

"Mikoto, I will avenge you. Even if it's just with the power of the Uchiha Sage alone!"

After making up his mind, Uchiha Senmon stood up, took off his black-rimmed glasses with one lens broken and threw them aside, and swept his messy bangs back from the previous explosion and gunfight.

In those cold, murderous eyes, another black tomoe appeared, and the two black tomoe slowly rotated.

Two-Tomoe Sharingan!

The gentle and handsome demeanor that was once refined and easygoing has vanished, replaced by an unfathomable dark aura, with a captivating allure hidden in his eyes.

"Akagi-senpai, even at the very end, I am grateful for your care. I consider you my best friend."

Looking at Section Chief Akagi, who had closed his eyes peacefully with a sense of relief as he passed away, Uchiha Senmon bowed deeply.

The Metropolitan Police Department still has value, and we cannot leave it now. We must handle the scene properly and give the Metropolitan Police Department a reasonable explanation.

Uchiha Senmon's eyes swept across the ground covered in crow feathers, and he frowned.

Where did the crow that inexplicably appeared in the gunfight and blocked the bullets for him come from?

Suddenly, the Uchiha Senmon sensed that something was wrong.

He didn't wear glasses for looks; he had slight nearsightedness, but after taking them off, his vision was better than ever before.

The crows' feathers on the ground were clearly visible in every detail.

Moreover, when Uchiha Senmon opened his eyes, he saw something like airflow moving within the crow feathers.

The next second, all the crow feathers vanished into thin air.

"wrong!"

Uchiha Senmon was startled, then felt dizzy and staggered, half-kneeling on the ground.

A shard of glass, about half the size of a palm, lay on the ground, reflecting the crimson eyes of Uchiha Senmon, with two black tomoe slowly rotating around his pupils.

"Sharingan? It looks similar, but I don't have three barbs, I have double barbs. Besides, how could I have eyes like that?"

Uchiha Senmon's expression changed drastically.

The majestic and mysterious Sharingan left a deep impression on the Metropolitan Police Department. Such eyes are clearly of great importance in the supernatural world, easily frightening away the messenger of King Enma.

The Akatsuki organization has two members who possess the Sharingan, and other members are also very secretive about the Sharingan.

The Sharingan must hold a huge secret, but no matter how hard the experts from the Metropolitan Police Department searched through countless books and ancient texts, they couldn't find any useful clues.

Not to mention finding out the true surname of this clan, hidden behind the mythology.

"Gagaga—!"

Just then, a flock of crows flew in through the window, flapping their wings and merging into a handsome young man wearing a pure black robe and with two tear troughs on his face.

He stared blankly at Uchiha Senmon, three black tomoe swirling in his crimson eyes.

Itachi from Akatsuki!

Uchiha Senmon was startled.

He just destroyed Sapporo, so why is he here?!

Uchiha Senmon instinctively put his hand behind his waist, but then he realized that for a superhuman like this who couldn't even be harmed by missiles, a pistol was nothing more than a toy.

Besides, if Itachi harbored ill intentions towards him, those crows wouldn't have appeared.

Why did you save me?

Uchiha Senmon stood up, his expression unchanged as he coldly stared at Uchiha Itachi.

At the same time, he was discreetly observing Uchiha Itachi, as this was the first time the Uchiha Immortal Sect had met him.

However, the Uchiha Sage Mode had a thorough understanding of Itachi's files, knowing that he was a master swordsman, extremely skilled in fire magic, and adept at mind manipulation...

After the battle in Sapporo, Itachi had surpassed Sasori of the Red Sand to become the most dangerous member of the Akatsuki organization and the Metropolitan Police Department's number one enemy.

"No, wait," Uchiha Senmon's eyes flickered.

Your style has changed?

Itachi was not wearing the Akatsuki's signature black robe with red clouds; instead, he was wearing a black trench coat.

"Because we are connected by blood," Itachi Uchiha said calmly.

Blood ties?

The Uchiha Immortal Sect felt an unprecedented absurdity, almost thinking there was something wrong with their ears.

Uchiha Itachi lowered his head slightly, glancing out of the corner of his eye at the corpse of Section Chief Akagi lying on the ground, and uttered a few meaningful words:

"To obtain such eyes, one must kill one's best friend. This is the irreversible fate of our race."

"What are you saying?" Uchiha Senmon asked in a hoarse voice.

Although Akagi-senpai made a grave mistake, he had done nothing wrong to me. From university days to my work, he had always taken good care of me. The Uchiha Senmon had always regarded Akagi-senpai as an older brother and his best friend, but now I had killed him with my own hands.

Itachi Uchiha turned his head, his eyes cold and his scarlet eyes flashing with a terrifying pressure that made people afraid to look directly at him.

This is the absolute advantage of the extraordinary in the realm of life; a single glance is enough to make mortals tremble with fear, sweat profusely, and bow down before this majestic and sacred power.

Uchiha Senmon's expression changed drastically. He involuntarily took a half-step back, biting his lower lip until a thin line of blood rolled down from the corner of his mouth.

Immediately, it retaliated with a sharp gaze, not to be outdone.

"Not bad eyesight. Now that you have the Sharingan, you can see much more clearly." Itachi Uchiha was somewhat surprised.

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Senmon's eyes spun faster, his gaze seemingly able to pierce through Uchiha Itachi's body.

He saw that countless vortexes flowed within the body of the superhuman, and that terrifying energy, as powerful as a volcano, was compressed within the human body. Even a tiny bit of it could blow the wind through the entire apartment building.

Energy burst forth and condensed into the phantom of an orange-red giant, exuding a terrifying aura comparable to that of a god!

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

With his chest heaving violently, Uchiha Senmon was drenched in sweat, his breathing heavy, and he covered his right eye with his right hand.

The other eye, which was exposed, looked very tired, and its color changed from red to black, returning to its original state.

"You've only just awakened your Sharingan; you can't control its power yet."

"Itachi, you've shown up here, you must have something to say to me, so let's get straight to the point."

Uchiha Senmon took a few deep breaths to calm himself down and regain his composure.

"What about this bloodline connection you mentioned, and what exactly is this Sharingan?"

"Uchiha, the Immortal Clan."

Itachi Uchiha's face revealed a profound and intriguing expression as he pronounced the name of the Uchiha Sage Monk, word by word.

"After I took the file from the Metropolitan Police Department, I've been secretly observing you. I was shocked when I saw 'Uchiha,' and it wasn't until I saw you awaken your Sharingan that I finally confirmed it. I never imagined that the Uchiha clan still had a branch in the human world."

Uchiha Senmon's pupils contracted. Could it be...?

"That's right, just as you think. I am Uchiha Itachi."

Uchiha Itachi raised his arm, glanced at his pure black sleeve, and pointed at the Uchiha Sage Gate.

"Today, I am not appearing as Suzaku of Akatsuki, but as one of your kin, which is why I changed into this outfit."

The Uchiha Sage Sect has suffered more shocks in the past ten years than they have today.

I know my own background better than anyone.

The Uchiha clan is just a small, insignificant family in the countryside of Shizuoka Prefecture, where they can see Mount Fuji in the distance. You can count the number of Uchiha in the village on one hand.

The surname Uchiha was adopted after the Meiji Restoration's "Order on Manifestations of Surnames"; before that, they were peasants who didn't even have surnames.

How could an extraordinary relative from the same clan appear out of nowhere?

"What a boring, cynical laugh..."

Uchiha Senmon rejected this absurd claim from the bottom of his heart, but facts speak louder than words, and the strange changes in his eyes forced him to face the issue.

Besides, why would such a powerful superhuman need to claim kinship with a rural farmer like the Uchiha? I can't even imagine why.

Could it be that my surname is truly ancient and mysterious?

Are the swallows that once graced the mansions of the wealthy and powerful now nesting in the homes of ordinary people? Or is the disguise so good that even future generations have forgotten everything?

"Even the glory of the Uchiha clan cannot withstand the erosion of time. The Uchiha clan in the Heavenly Realm has been wiped out, and the Uchiha clan left in the Human Realm has long forgotten its mission."

Itachi Uchiha smiled mockingly, turned to look out the window, his gaze deep and unfathomable, lost in thought.

From this angle, Uchiha Senmon could see a fan-like pattern on the back of Uchiha Itachi's black clothes.

"Uchiha Itachi, could you please start from the beginning and clear up my doubts?"

Although Uchiha Senmon was in a state of turmoil, he still calmly analyzed the pros and cons.

"You don't have time to come here specifically to establish a distant relationship, do you? Just say what your purpose is."

"Too weak. With only two tomoe Sharingan, you are worthless to me." Itachi Uchiha said indifferently.

Suddenly, police sirens blared down the street, and several police cars drove toward them from a distance.

It was clearly the previous gunfight that alerted the other residents of the apartment building, who then called the police.

Uchiha Senmon glanced at Uchiha Itachi and frowned. If his relationship with Uchiha Itachi were exposed, it would probably be more of a curse than a blessing.

He now has extreme distrust of the Metropolitan Police Department and is not afraid to speculate with the worst possible malice.

Uchiha Senmon opened his mouth as if to say something.

Just then, Itachi Uchiha pulled open the corner of his robe, and a crow swooped down in the blink of an eye, flying into the mouth of Senmon Uchiha.

"Varied--"

Caught off guard, Uchiha Senmon clutched his throat and instinctively began to gag.

But nothing came out. In disbelief, Uchiha Senmon ran his fingers from his lips to his chest, but there was nothing there. However, the feeling of the crow feathers that had been in his mouth, the feeling of a living creature moving and struggling, was incredibly real.

"What did you do?"

Uchiha Senmon questioned in a deep voice, his eyes flashing with double tomoe.

"This is a gift for you. Out of consideration for our compatriots, I can't let you die too soon."

Itachi Uchiha's body began to transform into a flock of crows from his lower body.

"Alright, I'll just say one more thing. The Naka Shrine, the clan headquarters of the Uchiha clan, holds the records of why the Uchiha clan exists in the human world, as well as the true secrets of our clan."

"Naga Shrine?"

Uchiha Senmon was taken aback. The Uchiha clan in the countryside of Shizuoka Prefecture was just a small family with only one ancestral home. They had no clan land.

Although there is a small shrine in my hometown, it is not called by this name.

"Where is the Nanka Shrine?!"

Seeing that Itachi Uchiha was about to leave, Senmon Uchiha hurriedly asked him.

"Weren't you searching for Mount Fuji?"

Was Itachi Uchiha implying that the Naka Shrine was located on Mount Fuji?!

"However, with your current eyes, even if you find the Naga Shrine, you won't be able to decipher the true secrets of our clan, not even with the three-tomoe Sharingan."

The three black tomoe in Itachi's eyes condensed into black windmills, constantly spinning.

"If you also open your kaleidoscope, then there will be three... no, maybe four people in the world who possess such eyes. In that case, it won't have been in vain that I saved your life."

Itachi Uchiha's entire body disintegrated into a flock of crows, which flew out of the window and disappeared into the night.

"One day, when you have the same eyes, I will come to see you again. Perhaps, you are the one we have been searching for..."
