I became Hokage in Tokyo

Chapters 283 and 284: Magnetic Field Rotation

At an altitude of 8000 meters, you are close to the top of the troposphere, where the temperature is below minus 20 degrees Celsius. There are also sudden gusts of wind generated by the plane during flight. It is extremely cold and bitter. If an ordinary person is exposed to such an extreme environment of low temperature, low pressure and low oxygen, they will freeze to death in no time.

Although there are occasional reports of survivors who climbed onto planes to illegally cross the border, they all hide inside the landing gear bay; if they were outside the plane, they would have no chance of survival.

Who on earth could be banging on the cabin door of a plane that is flying at an altitude of 8000 meters?

Or rather, is it really a human being?

A tense and uneasy atmosphere immediately spread in the cabin. Captain Hawke and several soldiers looked hesitantly out the window, their faces not looking too good.

"Haha, it must be because some part on the outside of the plane wasn't properly secured that it's making that sound."

After a long pause, a soldier forced a smile.

That being said, judging from his slightly pale face and weak tone, he clearly didn't have much confidence.

"Think about it, this is an airplane, everyone knows how fast and high it flies. How could someone be knocking on the door outside, unless it's a Homelander?"

The soldier was just trying to crack a joke and ease the tension.

But as soon as he spoke, Captain Hawke's already dark face turned even darker, and his bald head made him look like a braised egg.

Homelander is an anti-superhero from a popular American TV series in recent years. He is ruthless, vicious, and vengeful. More importantly, Homelander's appearances on airplanes in the show are always accompanied by trouble, as he uses his laser eyes to shoot down planes more than once.

That's such a jinx!

Captain Hawke glared at the soldier who had spoken, about to say something.

"Knock knock knock!"

Just then, that eerie knocking sound, like a death knell, rang out again outside the cabin door.

This time, everyone felt a chill run down their spines, and cold sweat crept onto their faces without them even realizing it.

"alert!"

Captain Hawke, his forehead veins bulging, immediately roared and grabbed the communicator with his left hand to contact the air command crew.

"Climb higher! Fly as high as you can, fly as fast as you can! Hurry, hurry, hurry! That's an order!"

The airborne command aircraft's engines were running at full power, accelerating to a maximum flight speed of Mach 0.5.

Within minutes, the airborne command aircraft, like a blue whale leaping out of the sea, pierced through the thick clouds and climbed to an altitude of 10,000 meters.

Stratosphere!

Inside the cabin, Captain Hawke and the soldiers, armed with rifles and cannons, all fell silent, so quiet you could hear a pin drop. The only sound they could hear was the roar of the plane's engines.

For Captain Hawke in the cockpit, every minute and every second was agonizing; he didn't know whether it was minutes or years that had passed.

Even when he was detained by the base two years ago after killing someone in a drunk driving accident outside the Sasebo base, he was not under as much pressure as he is now, and the days felt like an eternity.

Time seemed to stand still, yet also passed by in the blink of an eye.

I don't know how much time has passed—

The terrifying knocking stopped.

The suspicious soldiers couldn't help but swallow their worries, and their expressions softened slightly.

The soldier who had mentioned Homelander earlier glanced at Captain Hawke, a smug look on his face as if he had known, but said nothing.

However, Captain Hawke, still shaken, looked down at the security briefcase tightly handcuffed to his right wrist, his face extremely grave.

Was that knocking just an accident, or was it simply something that was blown away by the air traffic control aircraft?

No matter what, Captain Hawke dared not be careless in the slightest. In order to meet General William's expectations, he had to protect this secret briefcase until his death!

"Knock knock knock!"

The knocking sound, like a persistent maggot, echoed once again in the cabin.

Captain Hawke and several other soldiers stared wide-eyed, their faces ashen, barely concealing their fear. They gripped their weapons tightly, as if only that could give them courage.

"Tap, tap tap, tap tap tap—!"

Naturally, no one would step forward to open the hatch, especially since this was an airborne command post flying in the stratosphere, and they couldn't open the gate anyway.

But the unknown entity was very polite, persistently knocking on the door.

The knocking, precise like a wound-up clock, grew increasingly urgent, eventually becoming a relentless, torrential downpour.

"Monster! Don't come in!"

The unfolding events resembled a horror story or a nightmare. The suffocating pressure and fear nearly drove a soldier to the brink of collapse. He screamed hysterically as the dark muzzle of a rifle was pointed at the hatch.

"Fuck! You idiot!"

Upon seeing this, Captain Hawke couldn't help but curse. Using such a weapon inside the cabin at an altitude of 10,000 meters was simply courting death.

The situation is still unclear, and no enemy has been found. If it's just a false alarm, then all of them died for nothing.

"Snap!"

A sharp, metallic cracking sound came from the direction of the hatch!

Everyone looked up at the sound, their pupils suddenly contracting to their limit, only to see a hand piercing through the incredibly sturdy alloy hatch.

"It's coming in!"

To their astonishment, the hand, with terrifying force, effortlessly ripped open the hatch, as easily as a pull tab opening a soda can.

A figure resembling a god or demon appeared in everyone's sight.

He wore a long robe with a black background and red clouds, and a swirling one-eyed mask on his face. His black hair danced in the wind, and his eyes flashed with a dangerous and cold light.

"Beep beep beep!"

A piercing alarm suddenly sounded in the cabin, and the red warning lights began to flash violently.

A violent and icy gust of air raged through the cabin, blowing Captain Hawke and the others around, forcing them to cling tightly to their seats to keep themselves afloat.

The aircraft cabin door was suddenly opened in the stratosphere at an altitude of 10,000 meters, compromising the airtightness and causing the air inside the cabin to be drawn out due to the extremely low external air pressure.

If this continues, the airborne command post will disintegrate and crash in no time.

With a loud bang, the plane door was slammed shut behind the plane.

Captain Hawke and several other soldiers collapsed to the ground, pale-faced and panting heavily.

The uninvited guest, high in the sky, made no unnecessary movements and walked straight toward Captain Hawke.

"Found it..."

The cold words clearly reached Captain Hawke's ears, and he felt as if something had grabbed his heart, leaving him unable to even breathe.

A cold gaze fell on the security briefcase handcuffed to his hand.

In aviation terminology, there is a term called explosive decompression. When an aircraft is damaged in the air due to some sudden situation, the cabin is in contact with the outside and depressurizes instantly. Passengers may experience difficulty breathing and weakness in their limbs due to the pressure difference, and may even face life-threatening situations such as alveolar rupture.

However, after the cabin door was blocked, the air pressure inside the cabin quickly returned to normal, and these burly soldiers were also in good physical condition, so they quickly recovered.

"Monster! Demon!"

"Don't come any closer! Stop! I'm going to shoot!"

The soldiers, both shocked and enraged, picked up their guns, aimed them at the masked man, and issued a warning.

"hehe."

The masked man ignored them and walked towards them unhurriedly.

"Don't come any closer!!"

"Kill him!"

The soldiers, whose morale was already on the verge of collapse, didn't care about the potentially fatal consequences of firing inside the cabin. They all roared and unleashed all the bullets from their weapons in one go.

"Bang bang bang!"

Hundreds of bullets clashed together, forming a deathly barrage, ready to riddle the masked man with holes.

But the next second, all the warheads came to an abrupt halt, floating densely a few inches in front of the uninvited guest, spinning incessantly.

Magnetism!

Captain Hawke and the other soldiers gasped in shock, their faces filled with disbelief.

Is this The Matrix?

"Damn it! Keep attacking!"

The soldiers who emptied their magazines paled, their bodies trembling, and they frantically began reloading their weapons.

"Utterly foolish."

The masked man raised one sleeve, flicked his right index finger, and bullets flew out, shooting soldiers to the ground, their fates unknown.

Only Captain Hawke remained in the cabin, standing unharmed.

"Who are you?! How dare you do such a thing..."

Sweating profusely, Captain Hawke's eyes were filled with fear, and his knees trembled uncontrollably. He then waved his arms wildly at the masked man and roared angrily, but he could not hide the underlying ferocity in his voice.

Before he could finish speaking, the masked man who had rushed forward grabbed him by the throat and slammed him against the cabin wall.

"I'm just taking back what's mine."

The masked man lowered his head and looked at the security briefcase handcuffed to Captain Hawke's wrist.

Then he raised his head, and the single eye protruding from the vortex mask gleamed with a cold light.

"I can spare your life if you reveal the password."

"You'll never find out! Even if you steal the safe, you'll never get your hands on what's inside!"

Captain Hawke said through gritted teeth.

After he killed someone in a drunk driving accident and fled the scene, it was Lieutenant General William who stepped in to protect him and transferred Captain Hawke from Sasebo base to Yokosuka port base to avoid trouble.

A scholar will die for one who understands him; to repay the general's kindness with loyalty is the most basic principle of being a person!

"You don't want to talk? That's fine. I'll make you talk."

The masked man's tone remained as cold as ever, devoid of any emotional fluctuation, which sent chills down Captain Hawke's spine.

In fact, Lieutenant General William did not tell him the code.

But even if I say that, this monster probably won't believe me. I wonder what kind of vicious methods it will use to interrogate him next.

"General William will absolutely not let you get away with this!"

At this thought, a ruthless glint flashed in Captain Hawke's eyes, and with lightning speed, he picked up a pistol and pressed it against his chin.

"Long live the General!"

A gunshot rang out, and a bright red bloodstain was smeared on the cabin wall.

A minute later, the cabin door was kicked open roughly, and a figure dressed in a black robe with red cloud patterns jumped out of the cabin.

Subsequently, the airborne command post, located at an altitude of 10,000 meters, began to disintegrate and explode into a massive fireball.

The long robe fluttered behind him, and the figure was like a large bird spreading its wings, soaring through the sea of ​​clouds.

After flying hundreds of miles in one go, the masked man plunged headfirst into the sea of ​​clouds, which revealed the surging Pacific Ocean beneath.

It continued to plummet downwards like a meteor, only coming to a stop more than a thousand meters above the ground.

In that airspace, a black-haired youth was already waiting, with a huge purple orb above his head radiating a sacred and majestic aura.

The masked man who had previously appeared on the airborne command post floated in front of Uchiha Naruto and handed him the security briefcase with both hands.

"Heh, they're quite good at hiding it."

Naruto Uchiha took the secure briefcase and smiled.

"Hiding on a plane that keeps moving over Japanese airspace, that's interesting. Lieutenant General William, he's got some cleverness to his name."

Although Lieutenant General William deliberately created a smokescreen, releasing a series of decoys, which were not only scattered across various military bases throughout the country, but even included officers carrying fake security cases into submarines.

However, it was all in vain for Naruto Uchiha. The stone bowl in front of the Buddha was originally created by him using Earth Release, so he could sense its location.

"I originally planned to use Ah Fei's pseudonym to cause a huge disturbance at Yokosuka Port. Lieutenant General William's cleverness, by sheer accident, allowed them to escape unscathed."

The notice sent to the Metropolitan Police Department in former Prime Minister Abe's handwriting was to maintain the hooligan's style and persona.

For someone with the Sharingan, copying someone else's handwriting is a piece of cake.

Naruto Uchiha looked up at the spinning purple Tenseigan, then at the masked man in front of him. With a thought, the masked man removed his vortex mask.

He was a handsome black-haired man with a gap between his eyes and lips that stretched to his ears and chin. He was actually the puppet of the Third Kazekage!

Naruto Uchiha's Light-Heavy Rock Technique can also fly above the stratosphere, but it's not as fast or agile.

The Tenseigan already has the ability to manipulate puppets, and when combined with the Third Kazekage's puppet's Magnet Release, the Kazekage puppet can unleash performance that surpasses that of a fourth-generation puppet.

This was just a small experiment.

"Open the box."

Naruto Uchiha carried the security briefcase in one hand. The Third Kazekage's puppet floated over, opened its mouth, and spat out a ball of magnetic black sand that enveloped the briefcase.

"Click click click".

A few soft clicks came from inside the secure briefcase, indicating that it had been demagnetized and unlocked.

Naruto Uchiha took out the stone bowl in front of the Buddha from the briefcase and casually threw the secure briefcase into the sea.

Naruto Uchiha casually toyed with the stone bowl in front of the Buddha, which was treasured by the Metropolitan Police Department and Lieutenant General William, for a while, then squeezed it hard.

The stone bowl in front of the Buddha turned into gravel, which poured down between the fingers.

The so-called stone bowl in front of the Buddha and the so-called five treasures were nothing but lies he fabricated to deceive everyone. Uchiha Naruto could easily conjure up a hundred or eighty such things.

Naruto Uchiha taking the stone bowl from in front of the Buddha was merely a plot device to advance the story and allow this grand drama to continue.

Tomorrow is the night of the full moon.

Naruto Uchiha looked at the moon, which was almost full, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face.

"Everything is ready, the stage is set up. The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter, a thousand years later, is about to open at Mount Fuji."
