I became Hokage in Tokyo

Chapters 293 and 294: The Divine Power of the Kaleidoscope!

After having a large amount of chakra drained, the spider web could no longer maintain its previous amazing toughness and stickiness, and Uchiha Senmon, Prince Akishino, and others tumbled to the ground with thuds.

Uchiha Senmon, who was only one Yin Seal away from unleashing the Great Fireball Technique, suddenly abandoned the hand seals, grabbed all the high-explosive grenades from his waist, and threw them at the fused demon insect that was lying limp on the ground.

"Boom!" "Boom!"

Amidst several deafening explosions, the fused demon insect was blasted into pieces.

The pale, long tongue that had been spat out by the hero of the roost was intact, and the mouths on it were smacking their lips, showing a hint of satisfaction, before it retracted.

A pale tongue, seven or eight meters long and thicker than a thigh, was forcibly stuffed back into the mouth of the Bird Nest Hero.

"vomit!"

Hero Tosu felt his stomach churning. In addition to physical nausea, he was also psychologically unable to accept it and lay on the ground retching incessantly.

"My body! What will become of my body!?"

The strange tongue that spews out from the mouth of the Bird Hero is like the predatory tongue that monsters in the Alien series of movies can launch.

This time, the power bestowed by the evil god is in no way inferior to the Earthly Grudge Technique in terms of its malevolence and terror.

His limbs and bones were already filled with the black tentacles of the Earth Grudge, making him no longer human. Now, with this evil power added to his body, he is going further and further down the path of inhumanity.

When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.

Every gift from the evil god reveals a chilling wickedness, but the hero of the roost is forced to drink poison to quench his thirst, using the evil god's power time and time again. Perhaps one day, he himself will become a monster, body and soul.

Looking up at the fear and wariness on the faces of his teammates, the hero of the Birking Valley felt a pang of bitterness in his heart.

No, in other people's eyes, I'm already a monster.

"Mr. Tosu, are you alright?"

Uchiha Senmon walked over, helped Tori no Hideo up from the ground, and said with concern.

"Thank you, I'm feeling better now."

Mr. Uchiha is indeed different from ordinary people. He does not regard himself as an outsider. His courage and magnanimity are admirable.

Tori no Hideo looked at Uchiha Senmon with a complex expression in his eyes, hesitating to speak.

After the evil god granted the Bird Hero new power, he went offline again, and there was no response no matter how the Bird Hero called out to him.

However, the "Princess of the Night" mentioned by the evil god at the end left Tori no Hideaki with a lingering unease.

Is this referring to something sealed within Mount Fuji?

Tosu Hideo was unsure whether he should reveal this crucial information to Mr. Uchiha.

In doing so, one would inevitably expose that the evil spirit within them has awakened.

Although he had spent the rest of his life as an honest and hardworking office worker, the hero of Tosu was not entirely without guile, even though he was capable of such an astonishing act as dissecting and hiding a corpse.

After being recruited by the Metropolitan Police Department, the information he revealed during interrogation was mostly true, with only a small portion being false, as he concealed the existence of the evil god within him.

Tosu Hero vaguely sensed that because the Earth Grudge Technique was too evil and bizarre, the Metropolitan Police Department seemed to regard him as a time bomb, and their attitude towards him was that he could be used but not trusted.

If the Metropolitan Police Department finds out that the evil god inside him has revived and that he has gained control of his body through a contract, he will face increasing difficulties in the future.

Although Mr. Uchiha is a good person, but...

Tosu Hideo sighed, ultimately swallowing his words.

"It seems I'm not the only one hiding something; Mr. Tosu also has a secret."

Uchiha Senmon turned around, his face expressionless, but a strange glint flashed in his eyes.

"Mr. Tosu never revealed that move you just used. But it's fine, otherwise I would have been the one to expose my trump card in front of everyone."

Uchiha Senmon thought to himself.

Like Tosu Hideo, Uchiha Senmon also had things he was keeping from the Metropolitan Police Department.

Just then, several urgent warning cries were heard from a team member:

"Oh no! That centipede isn't dead yet!"

Uchiha Senmon's expression changed, and he quickly looked in the direction of the sound. He saw the fused demon insect's body parts, shattered by a high-explosive grenade, wriggling on the ground, with the flesh fragments beginning to glue together around a larger piece of the body.

Even though they were all blown to pieces, are their lingering spirits still unwilling to go to hell?!

"Quickly, you all take the prince and retreat!"

Uchiha Senmon roared, spitting fire at the fused demonic insect with his automatic rifle.

"Tori! Use your move to control it!"

"yes!"

Hero Tori hurriedly responded, puffing out his cheeks. Just then, the ground began to shake violently, as if some enormous creature was moving underground.

Everyone felt as if the ground beneath their feet had suddenly turned into a raging torrent, nearly causing them to fall to the ground.

"boom!"

A black, dragon-like demon emerged from the earth, its steel body rising like a train, with over ten meters long protruding from the ground.

"call--!"

The black dragon opened its mouth, and the overwhelming, terrifying suction force suddenly whipped up a gale on the flat ground, sending sand and stones flying. Everything was tumbled and swept into the sky, only to be swallowed by that bottomless black hole-like maw.

The first to be affected were the fragments of the fused demon insect's corpse, but the others present were not spared either.

"Help! Help! Help me!"

Prince Akishino screamed as his body was lifted into the air, about to be sucked into the sky, when Senmon Uchiha reacted quickly and grabbed his arm, pressing him to the ground.

However, the suction force from the black dragon's mouth became increasingly terrifying, and even the combined weight of the two people could not support it.

Just then, several black tentacles shot out and wrapped around Uchiha Senmon's waist.

Hang in there!

It turned out that the Tori no Hideo used the Earth Grudge Technique's black tentacles to firmly bind himself to the trunk of an old tree, securing his body while still having the strength to support the Uchiha Senmon.

However, the other team members were not so lucky; they screamed as they were sucked into the sky.

After swallowing the last fragment of the fused demon insect, the black dragon closed its mouth. By then, the ground was a mess, with fallen trees, a scene of utter devastation reminiscent of a typhoon's aftermath.

To the horror of the three survivors, the black dragon, which had devoured the fused demonic insect, began to develop a keratinous exoskeleton similar to that of an insect, and its aura grew increasingly ferocious.

"Just how many monsters has this demonic dragon devoured? It's unbelievably powerful!"

As Uchiha Senmon's Sharingan with its two tomoe swirled, he could clearly see the dark demonic aura emanating from the black dragon, which had almost solidified into a tangible form, radiating an incomparably terrifying aura.

Just staying nearby felt like standing in the crater of a volcano about to erupt, so oppressive that it was almost impossible to breathe. It was a world of difference compared to the fused demonic insects that had attacked them before!

This is probably the most powerful demon inside Mount Fuji!

The black dragon lowered its head slightly, and only then could the Uchiha Immortal Gate see a face on the dragon's forehead that resembled both a baboon and a human, filled with an evil aura.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

The black dragon parted its upper and lower jaws, and a dazzling blue light burst forth from its mouth. An extremely terrifying and destructive airflow condensed in its mouth and swirled continuously.

In an instant, it transformed into a huge, ever-rotating blue sphere of light.

The blue orb, carrying a world-destroying aura, spewed down towards the group.

With a whoosh, a dark figure, its body covered in black tentacles, flashed over and leaped more than ten meters into the air, blocking the blue light blast.

"Boom!"

The atmosphere in mid-air suddenly distorted, a blue cyclone burst open, and unimaginable terrifying storms and shock waves swept and spread in all directions, with intense wind pressure uprooting trees one by one.

"Cough cough cough!"

Uchiha Senmon, who was just a hair's breadth away from being blown away, had a trickle of blood spill from the corner of his mouth. He and Tori Hideo, whose face was equally pale, looked at each other and couldn't help but show a hint of despair.

The blue light bullet spewed from the dragon's mouth was like a compressed miniature hurricane, and the aftershocks from its explosion in mid-air were incredibly powerful.

If you are hit directly, your body will be torn to pieces in an instant, like being slowly sliced ​​to pieces.

"call--!"

The black dragon opened its mouth once more, and a blue vortex continuously compressed the air within it, seemingly about to unleash a second attack.

Uchiha Senmon quickly looked at Tori Hideo, who shook his head with a bitter smile.

There is no second Earthly Wraith clone left to take the fall. As soon as this blue light blast comes down, the three of them will be pulverized and die instantly.

A dazzling streak of light, like a white rainbow, flashed by and struck the black dragon's body directly!

The arrow, disproportionately small compared to the black dragon, propelled its massive body backward, eventually pinning it to a protruding cliff.

"Awooooo!"

The black dragon roared in resentment, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, but the arrow that had struck its heart continued to gleam with a holy light.

Finally, the black dragon lowered its head, and its originally fierce eyes closed, as if it had fallen into an eternal slumber.

"She's the guardian priestess of Hourai Island!"

Having narrowly escaped death, Uchiha Senmon couldn't help but raise his head and gaze at the summit of Mount Fuji.

The arrow that arrived at the crucial moment was shot from the direction of the summit of Mount Fuji, and there was no one else but the Hyuga Shrine Maiden who could have fired it.

"Is this a sealing arrow?"

Uchiha Senmon looked at the black dragon, who was nailed to the cliff and fell into a deep sleep, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

According to the information about Hourai Island shared in the fifth lesson, in addition to being able to shoot powerful, divinely punishing arrows, the Hyuga Shrine Maiden can also shoot sealing arrows.

Uchiha Senmon couldn't help but recall the fused demonic insect that had been blown to pieces earlier, which seemed to be immortal and rose up once again.

He had a vague feeling that he had grasped some truth.

"Is it because these monsters have the characteristic of immortality? Ordinary attacks are difficult to truly kill them, and sealing them is more effective."

"Mr. Uchiha, what exactly was that arrow...?"

"There's no time to say too much now. Just know that she's a friend to us, not a foe."

Uchiha Senmon frowned, looked around, and said urgently:

"Where is His Highness the Prince? Is he safe and sound?"

"His Highness was knocked unconscious by the shockwave of the cyclone explosion. He should be alright, right?"

Uchiha Senmon quickly bent down to check, and thankfully, Prince Akishino Fumihito had only fainted and was otherwise unharmed.

If Prince Akishino were to fall here, all their previous sacrifices and efforts would be in vain.

"Alright! Let's head down the mountain right away!"

After completing the inspection, Uchiha Senmon looked up and spoke to Tori Hideo.

But Tosu Hideo stared blankly at the back of the Uchiha Sage Gate, muttering to himself:

"The moon...the moon has turned red!"

Uchiha Senmon's expression changed drastically, and he immediately turned his head to look at the sky.

The full, round moon looked like a supermoon hanging over Mount Fuji, gradually revealing a bewitching, blood-red hue.

At a speed visible to the naked eye, the jade plate was dyed into a crimson moon!

Uchiha Senmon's expression was solemn and tense. This was the second Crimson Moon. The day after the last Crimson Moon appeared, the extraordinary battle in Sapporo, which shocked the world, broke out.

Although the mechanism and symbolism of the appearance of the crimson moon are not yet understood, it is undoubtedly an ominous sign.

"Stop looking, Tori! Carry His Highness the Prince on your back, let's set off!"

Uchiha Senmon slapped Tosu Hideo on the shoulder.

Tosu Hideo then snapped out of his daze and prepared to carry Prince Akishino Fumihito on his back.

"The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter is about to reach its most exciting part; wouldn't it be a shame to leave now?"

A cheerful voice drifted down from the sky and reached the ears of Uchiha Senmon and Tori no Hideo.

On the sealed head of the black dragon, which was nailed to the cliff face, stood a man dressed in a black robe with red clouds and wearing a swirling mask, looking down at the two of them.

It's Tobi from the Akatsuki!

Uchiha Senmon's eyelids twitched.

It's true that the longer the night, the more things can go wrong.

"While it's fairly interesting, the intro is a bit too drawn out. I'll just give it a little push and speed up the plot. After all, if this thing gets banned, the main character won't be able to appear."

Afei chuckled, the black three-tomoe in his eyes spinning and twisting into patterns never before seen by the Uchiha Sage.

A vortex formed in the void, and the next moment, the enormous black dragon, as huge as a steel train, disappeared along with A-Fei.

"This is!?"

The Uchiha Immortal Sect looked around in surprise and uncertainty.

Suddenly, like a ghost, Tobi appeared between Uchiha Senmon and Tori Hideo, sucking them both into the vortex of the vortex mask.

"Gentlemen, I've also prepared first-class seats for you, and even one-way tickets."
