I became Hokage in Tokyo

Chapters 277 and 278: Japan in Turmoil

Fifty nautical miles away, after activating the purple Tenseigan and unleashing a map-wide attack that vaporized the landing ship along with the dungeon boss, the Sea Demon, several crystalline points of light appeared in front of Uchiha Naruto.

[Dungeon walkthrough complete!]

Overall rating: C+, received 4 treasure chests

Naruto Uchiha didn't have high expectations for the treasure chest in this Chunin-level secret realm dungeon, which was formed by merging the Demon Realm Island, Seven Grass Island, and Summoning Beast Island from the Naruto TV original storyline. He casually clicked on a light spot with the mindset of "I might as well try my luck."

[Herbal*1]

[One of the seven herbs native to Seven Herbs Island; its juice, when squeezed out and applied to the skin, has beautifying and skin-nourishing effects.]

Naruto Uchiha glanced at the unknown herb in his hand, a slight smirk playing on his lips. This thing was utterly useless to him.

Next, several other random herbs appeared, until the last one was just an ordinary, unremarkable chest with no special effects.

[Fish-human transformation surgery]

[A product of Orochimaru's human experiments, after modification, it grants superhuman abilities such as underwater breathing, immense strength, and the ability to withstand sword and axe cuts from fish scales. Note: The changes after the modification surgery are irreversible.]

"This stuff is even worse," Uchiha Naruto curled his lip, his eyes showing disdain.

The fishing fire that was summoned by Uchiha Naruto using his Mangekyou Sharingan on Hourai Island was a victim of Orochimaru's human experiments, and was transformed into a bizarre half-human, half-fish creature.

The fish-man transformation surgery was practically useless to Naruto Uchiha; he had no interest in turning himself into a monster.

After gathering up the odds and ends, Uchiha Naruto looked at the Hyuga priestess standing beside him, her eyes vacant like a puppet.

He reached out and brushed aside the shrine maiden's hair, her raven-feather-like hair flowing gently in the sea breeze, revealing a pretty, unadorned face.

"The shrine maiden's outfit and the bow and arrow do go very well together."

Naruto Uchiha nodded at the Hyuga shrine maiden as if admiring a figure in a different outfit.

The Hyuga Shrine Maiden was created by Uchiha Naruto based on Hinata Hyuga's figure and face, but his personality was overwritten and rewritten.

After all, Hinata Hyuga is somewhat shy and introverted, and there wasn't a suitable role for her to play in Naruto Uchiha's script.

As for why Hinata Hyuga was chosen...

Naruto Uchiha looked up and saw a purple orb, about the size of a basketball, radiating a terrifying aura, three feet above Hinata Hyuga's head.

Purple Tenseigan!

More accurately, it is the Byakugan that is about to be upgraded to the Tenseigan.

[White Eye LV3 (900/1000)]

The Rinnegan is the ultimate evolution of the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan, while the Tenseigan is the ultimate dojutsu of the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan.

The Tenseigan is divided into purple, golden, and the highest level sky blue, from low to high.

There are two ways to evolve the Tenseigan. For example, the branch family on the moon in the ninja world used all their strength to fuse a large number of Byakugan, forming a huge purple Tenseigan.

Then he launched a rebellion against the main family, unleashing a terrifying chakra beam from his purple Tenseigan, annihilating the main family in one fell swoop.

The Hinata Shrine Maiden's Exorcising Arrow is incredibly powerful because it uses the power of the Purple Tenseigan to imbue the arrow.

The strongest sky-blue Tenseigan can only be awakened by combining the chakra of the Otsutsuki clan with the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan.

The azure Tenseigan is a supreme eye technique comparable to the Rinnegan. Toneri, who had activated the Tenseigan, fought back and forth with Kurama in Sage Mode. The Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion could even split the moon in two.

Naruto Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan is at level 4, and his sky-blue Tenseigan is definitely of a higher level.

After obtaining the Byakugan from Inaba in Tsukimi, Naruto Uchiha tried to add points to the Byakugan, but the system showed that it was incompatible.

It's estimated that since Naruto Uchiha had Sharingan in both eyes, he didn't have extra eye sockets to accommodate Byakugan.

However, after Naruto Uchiha raised his Byakugan to LV3, he unexpectedly discovered that as he added points, the size of his Byakugan grew larger and larger, and the purple light flowing over it became more and more intense.

It has now turned into a purple ball of light the size of a basketball.

However, the purple Tenseigan fused by the branch family on the moon was also a gigantic version, even larger than the one in Naruto Uchiha's hand, and was used by the branch family as a ninja tool.

According to the system's assessment, this purple Tenseigan is equivalent to Naruto Uchiha's external equipment, allowing him to freely control the power of the purple Tenseigan and the original Byakugan's abilities.

This also made up for one of Naruto Uchiha's weaknesses, namely, his ability to attack from extremely long range.

Modern military technology allows medium-range ballistic missiles to have a strike range exceeding 1000 kilometers, not to mention intercontinental ballistic missiles with a range of over 8000 kilometers that can cross half the Earth.

Naruto Uchiha's widest attack range is the Yasaka Magatama of Susanoo, but it can only accurately strike targets within a range of about 30 kilometers. Beyond that, it depends on luck.

The purple Tenseigan can effortlessly lock onto targets hundreds of kilometers away and unleash a saturation barrage of chakra.

If the Byakugan truly reaches level 4, the purple Tenseigan will evolve once more, capable of blasting an enemy machine gunner—no, an enemy dog's head—with an arrow from 800 miles away.

Naruto Uchiha has always suspected that the Hyuga clan may have misallocated their stat points.

The Byakugan of the Hyuga clan possesses a 360-degree field of vision with no blind spots, a viewing distance of several kilometers, and can even count the number of eyelashes on a person a kilometer away. It can even see through objects, making its insight undoubtedly superior to the Sharingan.

With such keen observation skills as Byakugan, he's practically a born sniper; he's definitely destined for FPS mode.

In a shooting game, this would be like having a cheat code that grants global vision and allows you to always know the enemy's location. If the enemy is outnumbered or weak, you can simply go up and take out the lone enemy; if the enemy has a numerical advantage, you can also play guerrilla warfare or use your superior vision to move in the enemy's blind spots.

But the Hyuga clan's signature techniques are actually Gentle Fist and pressure point techniques for close combat?!

Naruto Uchiha wondered if the Hyuga clan's ancestor had lost his mind back then.

As a result, the Hyuga clan, which shares the same roots as the Uchiha clan, paled in comparison in the later stages.

The Uchiha clan is widely recognized as the strongest clan in the ninja world. Even after the Uchiha clan was wiped out, the Hyuga clan's claim to be the strongest clan in Konoha attracted considerable skepticism.

"Forget it, why think about it so much?"

Naruto Uchiha shook his head, no longer thinking about those irrelevant things.

He looked up and saw countless stars shining brightly over the Pacific Ocean, far from the city lights, but even that couldn't obscure the waning moon that was about to fill the night sky.

"The full moon is almost here... it's time to close the net."

Naruto Uchiha had been keeping an eye on the Great Demon King who was lurking inside Mount Fuji. According to the wood clone he had previously placed in the Aokigahara Forest, it had transmitted a lot of information.

The moon is about to move to the correct position.

As the time draws near, the monsters in Mount Fuji are already stirring with activity.

Naruto Uchiha was also eager to reap the rewards.

This time, he used the materialization of the dungeon to set up the stage of Penglai Island as a prelude.

All along, Naruto Uchiha's script was modeled after "The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter," leaving clues for the Metropolitan Police Department to connect the actions of the superhumans one by one.

"The Fire Rat Fur, the Jade Branch of Penglai, the Jade Dragon Head... the stone bowl in front of the Buddha is still in the hands of the Metropolitan Police Department."

Although the stone bowl in front of the Buddha was casually created by Naruto Uchiha using Earth Release and was treasured by the Metropolitan Police Department and kept in their secret base in Yokosuka Port, the performance still had to be convincing; that's what makes a professional.

Naruto Uchiha chuckled softly, his figure flashed, and he soared into the air like a shooting star.

And the Penglai Island beneath his feet, too, vanished into the misty sea fog, disappearing like a fleeting dream in the Pacific Ocean—

The following day, Uchiha Naruto, dressed casually and wearing non-prescription glasses, took a train to Ginza in the Chuo Ward.

After getting off the train, Uchiha Naruto strolled casually through the streets.

"This situation is not good."

Even though it was a busy city center during a holiday, with pedestrians thronging around, Uchiha Naruto was sharp enough to sense something unusual.

After all, the battle of superhumans that took place in Sapporo was less than a week ago.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

As Naruto Uchiha walked along a shopping street in Ginza, several masked thugs wearing V for Vendetta masks suddenly rushed into a high-end watch shop across the street.

"Get down, or I'll kill you!"

Several masked thugs threatened the store clerks with knives, then took out hammers and smashed the glass display case, grabbing luxury watches and stuffing them into their bags.

In broad daylight, with many pedestrians on the street, several masked thugs brazenly looted the store before fleeing in a white sedan parked in front of the watch shop.

It took less than a minute from start to finish.

Only then did passersby belatedly call the police.

"Free purchase, wouldn't you say this is a case of the son following in his father's footsteps?"

Naruto Uchiha pushed up his glasses, but showed no intention of making a move.

"Damn it! How did this country become so chaotic? Just a few days ago, five young men broke into a foreigner's home to rob him, and two of them were killed in self-defense!"

Some people showed indignation on their faces.

"It's all because of that Sapporo incident!"

While Japan's claim of good public safety may be somewhat exaggerated, it is undoubtedly a cut above that of Europe and America, a fact that the Japanese people have always been very proud of.

It's rare to see someone so blatantly offering free purchases in a bustling area like Ginza.

Something seemed to be subtly changing.

Naruto Uchiha didn't seem to care and continued walking down the street, as if he had his own destination in mind.

Once outside Ginza, the streets began to appear somewhat chaotic, littered with trash and debris, interspersed with scattered banners and slogans. Pedestrians hurried along, their faces showing anxiety and unease.

Faintly, one could hear some slogans rising and falling, their sound echoing for miles.

"Step down!"

"the truth--!"

Naruto Uchiha was prepared and did not get too close. A crow flew across the sky and headed towards Nagata Town.

Through the shared vision with the crow, what appeared before Naruto Uchiha this time was a 'beautiful sight'.

"The Kishida Cabinet must resign! May the traitors be punished!"

"The truth! We want the truth! What exactly happened in Sapporo!?"

The Prime Minister's official residence in Nagata-cho was completely surrounded by a huge crowd of demonstrators. The angry crowd shouted and cursed, and even began to push and shove the police who were trying to maintain order.

The scene was truly spectacular. Thousands, tens of thousands, or even more people had gathered in front of the Prime Minister's official residence in Nagata-cho!

An NHK helicopter was circling overhead, broadcasting live.

The demonstrators included men and women, young and old, but they were all agitated, holding various protest signs and slogans, and shouting slogans at the top of their lungs.

"The people have the right to know the truth about what those monsters are!"

"This country is sick! It lets people live and die without understanding why!"

"It's all an American conspiracy! They must apologize! Withdraw their troops!"

The crowd that had been crowding around the Prime Minister's official residence formed a long line, and more and more people kept joining.

The entire scene was packed with people, and the atmosphere was incredibly lively.

Even Uchiha Naruto was speechless at this sight.

After the great battle between Yamata no Orochi and Susanoo, half of Sapporo was razed to the ground, creating tens of thousands of refugees. The whole affair could no longer be concealed.

However, the Japanese government's attitude was very intriguing, remaining silent for several days.

Neither denying nor admitting.

I don't know what they're up to, or if they just haven't been able to reach a conclusion after several days of meetings.

However, as time went on, various pictures and videos from the scene in Sapporo, along with survivors coming forward to share their experiences, have already caused a great stir around the world in this internet age where everyone is a recorder.

For several days in a row, it was the headline on the front page of major newspapers around the world.

Capital has the keenest sense of smell. On the day the super battle in Sapporo broke out, the Nikkei index plummeted, and it continued to fall in the following days, and now it has been cut in half.

All industries are inevitably suffering severe impacts, people are filled with anxiety, and no one is able to concentrate on work or study.

Various rumors, both true and false, have been rampant. If this had happened at the end of the last century or in 2012, the doomsday rumor would probably have been number one.

The whole of Japan was suddenly plunged into a state of turmoil.

The situation is escalating, with large crowds surrounding the Prime Minister's residence and the House of Representatives for several days in a row to demonstrate.

Given the current situation, if the authorities do not provide a response soon, a storming of the Imperial Palace is not out of the question.

Although Uchiha Naruto had been making his own plans, he was not oblivious to what was happening around him and was fully aware of it.

But only after arriving at the demonstration site could one truly feel how tense the atmosphere was; it was like a powder keg, ready to explode at any moment.

"Hmm, an order that is too turbulent is not in my interest either," Uchiha Naruto said thoughtfully, stroking his chin.
