I became Hokage in Tokyo

Chapters 286 and 287: Fusion Activated, Oni-Garuda Technique!

Mount Fuji is an active volcano that is still dormant. There have been a total of eighteen recorded eruptions, and it has been exactly three hundred years since the last major eruption, the Hoei eruption.

Beneath the snow-covered crater lies a hidden world, where not molten lava flows, but a multitude of bizarre and terrifying creatures lurk, ready to pounce!

Inside the Yokai Caves inside Mount Fuji, the mountain walls, carved with vibrant colors, resemble spiderwebs covered with a thick layer of silk, with hundreds of white cocoons hanging down in rows.

In the center of the spider web, a spider monster with eight legs and eight arms is coiled up, its head covered with countless eyes that are vigilantly scanning the surroundings.

Right under the spider monster's nose, a verdant branch pierced through the solid rock and continued to grow, forming a face with a woody green hue.

"These monsters were wrapped in spider silk and hung upside down, looking like the ninjas who were hung up by the Divine Tree after the Infinite Tsukuyomi."

Naruto Uchiha broke free from the rock, his feet clinging to the rock wall, and observed the scene with great interest.

However, the spider demon was completely oblivious. Its many eyes were like decorations, allowing Uchiha Naruto to swagger around and count the cocoons hanging upside down on the cliff face as if he were in an empty place.

On Uchiha Naruto's face was the joy of a farmer harvesting wheat in autumn.

This wooden clone has been lurking here for half a month.

During this period, monsters were continuously transported to the monster cave inside Mount Fuji by the giant black monster that used the technique of diving through the earth.

Until the day before yesterday, the number of monsters imprisoned in the cave had exceeded one hundred.

Naruto Uchiha was naturally itching to harvest these ripe fruits that were within easy reach. Harvesting so many demons would allow him to upgrade several ninjutsu to level 4.

But you have to be patient, because the sweetest part is yet to come.

To catch a big fish, the mastermind behind it all, the powerful demon "King General" who can use barrier magic, is the most lucrative prey.

Unfortunately, during these two weeks, Wang Jiang remained hidden and refused to show himself.

However, today's full moon coincides with a supermoon, which is what the monsters call "the moon reaching the correct position."

Mount Fuji, Japan's sacred mountain, a hundred yokai (Japanese spirits), and a supermoon—the three elements of heaven, earth, and yokai have all come together!

Unless the king is willing to give up the favorable timing, location, and popular support he has painstakingly accumulated, it will surely appear here.

As a hunter, Naruto Uchiha was quite patient.

Just then, the ground began to tremble slightly.

coming!

Naruto Uchiha's eyes narrowed, and the wood clone once again disappeared into the rock wall.

A black head, resembling a locomotive, emerged from the soil at the bottom of the cave, its mouth gaping open like a gaping maw from the abyss.

"Ring ring—"

The sound of clear wind chimes echoed in the cave, and a figure emerged from the mouth of the black giant.

"Lord General!"

The two demon guards who were guarding the demon cave immediately knelt down.

"Cough cough."

The king was hunched over, and his figure looked like that of an old man, but he was covered with a white baboon mask and fur, making it impossible to see his true form.

But what's truly bizarre is that beneath the white baboon's fur, there are several swollen and deformed protrusions that seem to move around unpredictably.

It looked as if something was rapidly expanding and splitting inside its body.

"Ahem, is everything ready?"

Wang Jiang's voice was husky and somewhat magnetic, sounding like that of a young man in the prime of his life.

"Yes, Lord King! All one hundred and five monsters you sent are here."

The spider monster lowered its head and spoke respectfully.

"very good."

The king nodded and then asked:

"Has that guy, Kakugayoshi, not shown up yet?"

"Yes, Lord King, the night you arranged for Lord Kakuyuki to escort the monster captured from Tokyo, Lord Kakuyuki disappeared."

The two demons who served as jailers had been secretly hypnotized by Uchiha Naruto using his Sharingan and gave statements according to Naruto's instructions.

"This is the first Crimson Moon..."

Wang Jiang raised his head thoughtfully, his gaze seemingly piercing through the rock face of Mount Fuji to look at the moon in the sky. After a long silence, he sneered:

"Cough, that useless Kakuyuki! Although he was also a great youkai born in the first year, he was the weakest among us. He probably couldn't withstand the gaze of the Crimson Moon and went crazy and died."

"What, Scarlet Moon? Are you talking about the blood moon phenomenon last week, sir? But Lord Kakugyo disappeared half a month ago," the spider demon asked in surprise.

"That was the second Crimson Moon. However, these are things that you youkai of your level cannot understand."

The Great Demon King clearly didn't want to continue the conversation and quickly changed the subject.

"Phew, the moon is now in the right position. Time waits for no one. My technique can finally be activated!"

The king, who had been speaking in a rather organized and rational manner, suddenly burst into a maniacal laugh.

"Hehe, hehehe, hahahaha!"

An extremely evil and powerful aura solidified as if it were a tangible force within the caves inside Mount Fuji, causing the spider monster and the white-haired monster to tremble and prostrate themselves on the ground, unable to even lift their heads.

The spider monster's many eyes revealed an expression of utter awe.

In just three months, Lord Wang's demonic aura has increased several times over.

Compared to before, it's like heaven and earth.

Indeed, following the King was the right decision they could have made!

Only the King is the savior of the monsters!

However… Lord King's mind seems somewhat…

"Hehe! Hehehe! Hehehe—cough, cough cough—!!"

But joy turned to sorrow. The king, who was laughing wildly, suddenly began to cough violently, his throat bulging as if something foreign was struggling inside.

"puff!"

Under the horrified gazes of the two monsters, the king coughed up a large puddle of black, filthy stuff that looked like mud.

The sludge writhed on the ground like a living thing, then twitched a few times before finally coming to a complete stop.

"Damn it, I've been corrupted to this extent too. There's no time left!"

The king turned to look at the white cocoon hanging upside down on the rock wall and gave the order to the spider monster:

"Put all these monsters down!"

"yes!"

The spider monster's limbs fiddled with the spider silk, and the cocoons on the cliff wall fell to the ground one after another, like ripe fruit.

Wang walked to one of the long, narrow cocoons, reached out and peeled away the spider silk, revealing a basketball-sized, jet-black centipede head with purple spots.

The centipede demon's enormous fangs and tentacles, over a meter long, were still twitching involuntarily.

"Remove the paralyzing poison from this monster."

The spider monster quickly crawled over and extended a sharp spider claw, piercing into the cocoon.

"Hiss hiss hiss!"

The centipede demon immediately regained consciousness, and its body, which was wrapped in the spider cocoon, began to writhe wildly, but it could not break free from the spider silk.

"Lord King, what are you doing?!"

An unexpected scene unfolded: the king actually extended his palm towards the centipede demon's fangs.

Enraged, the centipede demon, seeing flesh and blood delivered to its doorstep, naturally showed no mercy, viciously biting off the king's hand and swallowing it.

"That's right, that's exactly it!"

The king ignored the severed wound on his arm and instead of being angry, he was pleased.

What flowed from the cut on his wrist was not blood, but a black, filthy liquid that resembled mud.

"hiss!"

The centipede demon, having swallowed the king's flesh and blood, seemed to be poisoned, emitting a painful hiss.

The purple spots on the centipede's head carapace continued to expand, its tentacles continued to grow, and thorns began to protrude from its carapace, making its aura even more ferocious and terrifying.

Wang Jiang ignored it and went to another cocoon, repeating the same process.

This time, inside the cocoon was a large red bat with a wingspan of over two meters.

"Gaga gaga ooh!"

The giant bat howled mournfully, and fleshy growths appeared on its back, with one fleshy wing after another growing out.

The giant, deformed bats and centipede demons, now even larger, began a bloody and frenzied battle.

The outcome was decided not long afterward.

The centipede demon strangled the giant bat, its countless hooked legs piercing deep into its body. The giant bat struggled in its death throes, its superfluous wings twitching.

After it died, the giant bat turned into a pool of black, muddy substance that was absorbed by the centipede demon.

"Hiss hiss hiss!"

The centipede demon stood upright, its body nearly ten meters long, and began to bare its fangs and claws, with six pairs of bat wings growing from its back.

The centipede demon shot into the sky in the next second!

"boom!"

Seemingly not yet accustomed to its newly grown wings, the flying centipede crashed miserably onto the cave ceiling.

But not long after, the flying centipede swooped down and launched a surprise attack on the king and the other two monsters.

"Damn it!"

The spider monster roared and immediately spat out a wisp of spider silk, binding the flying centipede tightly in mid-air.

But the next second, the flying centipede's fleshy wings, like incredibly sharp blades, cleaved through the spider cocoon and charged menacingly towards them.

"How is this possible? How could it break free from my spider silk?!"

The spider monster was taken aback.

"snort!"

The king raised his only remaining hand and held it in front of him, and a dark red light barrier appeared before him.

The flying centipede crashed heavily into the light barrier, but the barrier remained unmoved. Instead, it enveloped the centipede, transforming it into a dark red sphere that floated in the air.

"This is witchcraft!"

The spider monster and the white-haired monster exchanged a glance, clearly deeply shocked.

The two monsters before were just small fry. After they devoured and merged, the Flying Centipede's demonic aura became much stronger than before, and even the spider monster felt threatened.

How powerful would it be if the more than one hundred monsters in the monster cave combined into one?!

"After consuming my corrupted flesh and blood, the seeds of the 'Oni-Garra Technique' were sown, and the monsters also inherited my immortality, so ordinary attacks cannot kill them."

The king's voice regained its previous composure as he spoke slowly and deliberately.

"The moon has reached the correct position. At Mount Fuji, the ritual setup is complete. After the 108 demons devour each other and merge into one, they will become my new body!"

One hundred and eight?

The spider monster suddenly had a bad feeling, and even its soul trembled.

"You've all worked so hard all this time, how should we reward your loyalty?"

The king's tone was very gentle, but it revealed a chilling malice.

"Let you all become a part of me!"

"My lord, you can't do this—!!!"

Before he finished speaking, Wang Jiang peeled off his baboon fur.

The scene was terrifying, like a nightmare. The king's body had completely rotted, and various grotesque limbs and beast faces were constantly writhing. Two thick, black, fleshy tentacles shot out.

The spider monster was immediately immobilized as a thick, disgusting black liquid was forced into its mouth. Its body then swelled up abnormally as if inflated, growing various extra scales and limbs.

"Aaaaaah!"

The spider monster let out a completely irrational roar, like that of a wild beast.

"Hee hee hee hee hee! Cough cough cough—!"

The king burst into unrestrained, maniacal laughter.

But it didn't laugh for long before it started coughing violently like a bellows, with black mud flowing continuously from its mouth.

"Damn it, even though I've gained immense power, the corruption from the Second Crimson Moon is just too severe. Even with my immortality, my body and mind have reached their limits."

The king's body began to disintegrate, and the filthy black mud engulfed all the cocoons like a tidal wave.

One after another, the cocoons burst open, and monsters howled and mutated, their bodies becoming larger and their appearances becoming uglier and more deformed.

In the end, all that remained of the king was a baboon's head, floating in the air.

Although only a head remained, the king's mind was perfectly clear.

"I will peel away the most polluted parts, reshape my body using the Oni-Garra Technique, and dilute the pollution from the Crimson Moon with the flesh and blood of hundreds of demons. Only in this way can I be reborn and live a second life."

The king was also ready to fire the arrow once it was on the bowstring.

The demon cave was instantly filled with chaotic demonic activity, but for the hundreds of monsters that had transformed into enormous creatures, it was so cramped that they couldn't even stretch out their bodies.

"Barrier Technique!"

The king's head emitted a low shout, bursting forth with an evil and filthy red light.

A thick, dark red beam of light pierced through the crater and snow-covered surface of Mount Fuji, like an inverted dome covering the mountain.

Immediately following behind, the monsters in the cave also couldn't wait to start riding the clouds and rush out of the crater of Mount Fuji!

"My remaining demonic energy can only maintain the great barrier, so I have no choice but to fall into slumber."

The king spat out a bell, which rang out with a melodious sound.

"Ring ring ring—"

The giant black monster, with a body as thick and long as a train, poked its head out of the soil and swallowed the king's head whole.

Then it began to change, with horns growing on its head and sharp teeth emerging from its upper and lower jaws, making it look like a dragon's head.

"But no matter what, I will be the ultimate victor!"

"With my immortality, coupled with the Oni-Garra Technique that allows me to devour and fuse other yokai's magic and yokai energy, I will surely become the god of the new world! Even the superhumans who appear in Sapporo cannot kill me."

"Tear apart! Devour! Slaughter each other! This bloody storm will be the salute to celebrate the birth of a new god!"
