I became Hokage in Tokyo

Chapters 296 & 297: Jinchūriki

"Tamamo-no-Mae? Who is this Tamamo-no-Mae you're referring to?"

Princess Kaguya's tone held a hint of doubt, as if she had never heard of the name before.

"Oh dear, I'm sorry. I completely forgot that you, Kaguya-sama, have been sealed away for a thousand years. How could you possibly know Tamamo-no-Mae?"

Wearing a vortex mask, Naruto Uchiha pretended to be slow to realize what was happening and slammed his fist into his palm, launching into a dramatic performance in accordance with the script.

"Tamamo-no-Mae is the name of the last Jinchūriki. In other words, you're probably familiar with the white-faced, golden-haired nine-tailed fox, Kaguya-sama."

That's right!

Uchiha Senmon's eyes flashed.

The famous Japanese yokai Tamamo-no-Mae rose to prominence during the reign of Emperor Toba at the end of the Heian period, two hundred years after the 10th century, the era of Kaguya-hime and Abe no Seimei.

Tamamo-no-Mae transformed into a peerless beauty with both talent and looks, attempting to approach the Emperor and bewitch the world. However, her plan was exposed by Abe no Yasachika, a descendant of Abe no Seimei and the most powerful Onmyoji (yin-yang master) at the time.

Princess Kaguya, who had been sealed on Mount Fuji since the Heian period, would naturally not have heard of the name Tamamo-no-Mae.

But what does Afei mean by Jinchūriki?

Is it a human pillar?

In ancient times, there was a barbaric and primitive custom: when building bridges or castles, in order to ensure the smooth progress of the project and prevent it from being interrupted by ghosts or gods, living people were buried in the foundation or pillars as sacrifices to the ghosts and gods.

"You also covet the Nine-Tails' power?"

Princess Kaguya remained expressionless, her aura as cold and frosty as ever.

However, a faint, chilling killing intent permeated the surroundings, causing the Uchiha Senmon who were watching to shiver involuntarily.

Uchiha Naruto's Sharingan, visible through the vortex of his mask, gleamed crimson. He chuckled softly and said:

"Kaguya-sama, that's a very unpleasant way to put it. How can you say it's coveting? You must recognize this eye. Only the Sharingan of our clan can control the Nine-Tails. This is simply returning it to its rightful owner."

Suddenly, the black three-tomoe Sharingan of Naruto Uchiha connected and transformed into a new pattern.

Kamui!

With a snap, Princess Kaguya's neck was broken 360 degrees, and not only that, her upper body was also torn apart and shredded.

"Lord Iris! We haven't obtained the elixir of immortality yet!"

Yakushi Kabuto was greatly alarmed.

"Those involved are often blinded, while bystanders see clearly. Even someone as intelligent as you, Kabuto Yakushi, can be blinded. If it were before, you would have seen through it long ago."

Naruto Uchiha glanced at Kabuto Yakushi and chuckled.

"The elixir of immortality has already been consumed by Princess Kaguya, and she is now an immortal being. Princess Kaguya, having consumed the elixir of immortality, can be considered a humanoid elixir of immortality."

"What?!"

Before the words were even finished, it was as if time had reversed; Kaguya's neck, which had been snapped by Kamui, was put back in place, and her upper body was restored to its original state.

"The elixir of immortality is merely a stepping stone for you, Kaguya-sama. Only by possessing immortality can you set your sights on the Nine-Tails. Am I right?"

"The Mangekyou Sharingan. What a detestable eye power."

Princess Kaguya placed one hand on her neck to straighten it, and looked at Uchiha Naruto with icy eyes.

"The Nine-Tails is not your clan's exclusive property; I am the Nine-Tails' true master!"

"She really is a sheltered young lady, ignorant of her own limitations. She's just a former Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, yet she dares to call herself the master of the Nine-Tails."

Uchiha Naruto sneered, staring at Kaguya who was suspended in mid-air:

"Even though you've been stripped of the Nine-Tails, as a former Jinchūriki, you still retain the power of the Nine-Tails, so you should be able to sense its whereabouts."

"There are countless thieves like you who come to cause trouble for me for the elixir of immortality and the nine-tailed fox, but in the end, I will bury you all in hell with my own hands."

Under the bright moon, Princess Kaguya floated in the sky, her long silver hair, which reached her feet, dancing without wind.

"If you're really that powerful, then how did you manage to be sealed away by Abe no Seimei for a thousand years? Kaguya-sama, did you do it willingly?" Uchiha Naruto said with a grin.

"Aaaaaah, that damned Abe no Seimei!!!"

Princess Kaguya was speechless at Naruto Uchiha's teasing, and then became angry and embarrassed. She raised her hand and raised her wide sleeves.

"The power of the Nine-Tails belongs to me!"

The air currents swirled wildly and rapidly in Princess Kaguya's hand, and a blue typhoon ball formed in an instant, continuing to expand.

Rasengan!

Princess Kaguya pushed her palm forward, and a giant Rasengan with a diameter of over five meters rolled down towards Uchiha Naruto with the force of wind and thunder.

It was a blue light bullet spewed by that black demonic dragon, and judging from its size and momentum, its power far surpassed that of the black dragon.

Uchiha Senmon's pupils contracted.

"Earth Release: Earth Returns!"

Kabuto Yakushi, standing behind Naruto Uchiha, gave a low shout, formed hand seals, and then slapped downwards.

The rocks and gravel in front of them tumbled and formed an earthen wall more than a meter thick, blocking their way.

However, the giant Rasengan swept through the earthen wall with overwhelming force, pushing forward with undiminished momentum.

"Boom!"

Visible to the naked eye, destructive winds accompanied by violent shockwaves swept and spread in all directions.

It was like dropping a thermobaric bomb on Mount Fuji!

Within the area covered by the terrifying hurricane, soil, lava rocks, sand, and snowdrifts were all pulverized, leaving a large crater with a diameter of more than ten meters in the very center.

A fierce white aura erupted from the Hyuga Shrine Maiden, her sleeves and cascading black hair fluttering wildly, sheltering the Uchiha Senmon, Tori no Hideyoshi, and the other survivors from the onslaught of the storm.

Uchiha Senmon and Tori no Hideo looked at the devastation before them with lingering fear. If they had been caught in the hurricane, they would have been torn to pieces.

If they hadn't been hiding behind the Hyuga Shrine Maiden, they probably would have been blown off the mountaintop.

But will Tobi, who possesses the Mangekyou Sharingan, be defeated so easily?

It seems highly unlikely, especially since Ah Fei also has the ability to teleport.

As Uchiha Senmon had predicted, the space in the center of the crater suddenly began to distort.

Naruto Uchiha and Kabuto Yakushi, dressed in black robes with red cloud patterns, appeared unharmed.

"Earth Release·Rock Stealing Stick!"

Kabuto clapped his hands together, and several rocks beneath his feet rose up, transforming into sharp spears that shot out one after another towards Princess Kaguya.

Princess Kaguya neither dodged nor flinched, allowing the sharp, spear-like rocks to pierce her body.

However, Princess Kaguya, who possessed an immortal body, had her wounds heal completely without shedding a single drop of blood.

"He really is immortal. Even after Abe no Seimei extracted the Nine-Tails from his body, he didn't die. That's great. Should I get one too?"

Naruto Uchiha looked at Kaguya and spoke in a flippant tone.

"By the way! Lady Kaguya, since you've just escaped from the seal of Mount Fuji and have nowhere to go, why don't you join our Akatsuki organization first? Let's find the Nine-Tails first, and then decide what to do with it."

"Aaaaaaah! That damn guy!"

In her fury, Princess Kaguya's pentagram Kikyo mark on her forehead shone even brighter.

With a graceful movement, she ascended to a higher altitude, much like the ending of the legend of "The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter," returning to the moon.

"I'll show you all my resentment and hatred! My rage is enough to melt away all the snow on Mount Fuji!"

Amidst the deafening roar, the wind and clouds shifted dramatically, with the flowing atmosphere and clouds rotating counterclockwise to form a massive eye of the storm, resembling an invincible black hole leading to hell.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Lightning flashed and thunder roared, a terrifying sense of oppression descended from the sky, and the air seemed to freeze.

Everyone present was terrified, and even Uchiha Senmon's eyelids twitched and his scalp tingled.

No matter how you look at it, Princess Kaguya is about to unleash her ultimate attack.

"My lady, it's too dangerous for ordinary people to stay here! Now that the barrier has disappeared, there's no point in us staying. Let us take the tourists down the mountain instead."

Uchiha Senmon hurriedly spoke to the Hyuga priestess.

Although the Uchiha Sage Sect had some hidden trump cards, they were no match for this level of divine combat; even a slight aftershock would be enough to destroy them.

In any case, Prince Akishino has already been rescued, and the objective has been achieved. The Uchiha clan must preserve their lives to pursue their revenge, rather than recklessly getting dragged into this great war.

Anyway, if the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up. Besides, if they stay here, they will only become a burden to the Hyuga Shrine Maiden.

Hero Tosu nodded repeatedly, looking panicked.

"Everyone else may leave, but you two cannot. You are not ordinary people, and like me, you have been chosen by Princess Kaguya to be the samurai to break the seal."

The Hyuga priestess, who had kept her eyes closed, opened them, her eyes shimmering with purple light. She turned to face Uchiha Senmon and spoke in a clear voice.

What does this mean?!

Uchiha Senmon's heart skipped a beat; his hidden secrets were laid bare before the Hyuga Shrine Maiden's extraordinary eyes.

Suddenly, the Uchiha Sage felt a divine pressure descending from the sky, and an ominous sign of impending doom rose in his mind in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, sand and stones flew, wind and thunder roared, and an overwhelming and terrifying suction force seemed to capture the entire world into the eye of the storm, which was like a bottomless black hole.

"What?! Damn it!"

Uchiha Senmon's black hair flew wildly, and his body swayed, almost flying into the sky.

"Looks like she was rejected, but there's no need to get so angry. Kaguya-sama has such a bad temper. At her age, she should have been past menopause long ago."

Naruto Uchiha spread his hands, saying with a hint of helplessness.

"Lord Tobi, your provocation is far too obvious. Even I can tell that you have no sincerity whatsoever," Kabuto Yakushi said, his lips twitching.

"I knew she wouldn't honestly reveal the whereabouts of the Nine-Tails. In any case, Lady Kaguya never intended to repay any kindness from the beginning; instead, she was filled with murderous intent towards us. From the very beginning, she planned to use the five of us as sacrifices to break the seal of the Five Elements."

"What? Lord Iris, you mean...?"

"They're here!"

Naruto Uchiha looked up at the giant eye of the storm that Kaguya had transformed into. Under the terrifying suction force, the chakra within his body was also stirring, almost bursting out of the top of his head.

"Netherworld Release: Absorption Hole!"

After using the Oni-Garara Technique to combine hundreds of demons into one, Princess Kaguya could use a wide variety of ninjutsu.

Princess Kaguya's immortality is one such example. Unlike the previous Yamata no Orochi, it is not an unparalleled regenerative ability, but rather a kind of almost conceptual immortality.

There's also the Rasengan, and the Dark Release technique being used now.

Dark Release is somewhat similar to Demon Path. It can absorb ninjutsu and chakra and store them in the body. However, if the absorbed chakra exceeds the user's limit, the user will explode and die.

In the movie, Hiruko was unable to absorb the prince's Wind Release: Rasenshuriken and was ultimately defeated.

"Once I absorb the five elements' power from the five of you, I will be able to break the final seal on Abe no Seimei!"

A voice filled with resentment descended from the clouds.

"I will obtain the Nine-Tails once more, and then I will make this country suffer the hatred that I have been sealed away for a thousand years! I will make volcanoes erupt, the earth bleed, the sea boil, and sink this island nation into the ocean!"

Under the terrifying suction force, Uchiha Senmon, who was prostrate on the ground, felt a chill run through his body. He activated his Sharingan with two tomoe, and could see the azure-green energy within his body being drawn into the eye of the storm in the sky.

Suddenly, an unimaginable aura of majesty emanated from the Hyuga priestess, and purple stars seemed to appear and disappear in her eyes.

"Want to absorb my power? Then give it a try."

A massive white beam of light shot into the sky, piercing through the thick clouds. The booming light stopped the wind from moving, and the ever-rotating eye of the storm gradually came to a standstill. Then the clouds dispersed and the wind began to blow away, and the beam gradually dispersed.

"Even I, a concubine, didn't obtain the Reincarnation Eye!"

As the winds and clouds converged, Princess Kaguya appeared before everyone's eyes. Her body swelled up like an inflated balloon, occasionally bursting open to reveal a glimmer of spiritual light.

"If Abe no Seimei's seal hadn't been broken, how could I possibly have lost to a little girl like you!"

Overwhelmed with shock and anger, Kaguya's once angelic face contorted into a grimace. She glared angrily at the Hyuga Shrine Maiden, then abandoned everyone and flew swiftly towards the foot of Mount Fuji.

"It's not over yet! I will definitely reclaim my power!"

As the Hyuga priestess watched Kaguya's figure disappear into the clouds, she reached into the quiver on her back and took out a feathered arrow, but her other hand grasped at empty air.

Her longbow had already been broken by Shenwei.

Uchiha Senmon, in a moment of inspiration, drew his Browning M1911 from his waist and cocked it with a click:

"My lady, use this! This thing is much better than a bow and arrow!"
