I became Hokage in Tokyo

Chapters 302 and 303: A Complete Sweep! The Tenseigan in the Fetal Movement!

A black curse mark gradually appeared on the smooth, jade-like forehead of the Hyuga Shrine Maiden.

"A caged bird?"

Veins, like cracks, bulged on her porcelain-like face. The flaws made the holy Hyuga shrine maiden look somewhat ferocious. She spoke slowly and deliberately, her usually cold tone filled with pain.

"You don't even know what a caged bird is? The Hyuga clan has truly declined to the end. The rebellion I started a thousand years ago has such a profound impact."

Princess Kaguya kept her hands in a hand seal position, a smug smirk playing on her lips.

"Out of kinship, and as a farewell gift before you descend to hell, I will tell you. The hateful fate of the Hyuga clan, and the darkest and most sinful chapter of the Hyuga clan—the Caged Bird!"

Even as He spoke, faint incantations echoed within the ruins of the palace, their words overlapping and layered.

"The Caged Bird is a shackle in the bloodline of the Hyuga clan, a testament to those bound by fate and unable to escape. It is a secret incantation that can only be activated by the main family that controls the Moon Castle."

Undisguised malice surfaced in Princess Kaguya's eyes.

"Just like this!"

"Ugh!"

The purple light in Hyuga Shrine Maiden's eyes was extinguished in an instant, her face covered in a thick layer of cold sweat, and she knelt on the ground, letting out a sob.

"How is it? This excruciating pain is driving your brains to the brink of boiling, isn't it? The Hyuga clan are nothing but slaves of the main family, their lives and deaths entirely at the mercy of the caster's whim. Even someone like you, with the Tenseigan, cannot escape the fate of a caged bird."

Princess Kaguya, floating in the air, looked at the Hyuga priestess kneeling on the ground in agony with cold, emotionless eyes.

"But I am different. I stole the elixir of immortality, and with my immortality, I raised the banner of rebellion, slaughtered the head of the main family and the elders, and took control of the Moon City. Apart from me, no one else knows how to cast the Caged Bird Spell."

The palace beneath Kaguya's feet had been reduced to ruins by the cannon fire from the Hyuga Shrine Maiden. The vermilion pillars were broken, and flames crackled and burned on the broken walls, illuminating Kaguya's ambitious face.

"I have finally broken free of my cage and become a crane that can soar freely in the sky. But that's not enough; I want more!"

"I absorbed the divine power of Princess Konohanasakuya and obtained the legendary Nine-Tails! Just when I was about to gain everything in the world, that damned Abe no Seimei sealed me in the sunless Mount Fuji for a full thousand years. Even if all the waters of the Five Lakes of Fuji were poured out, they could not extinguish my anger and resentment!"

Kaguya's face, which was as beautiful as a fairy, suddenly became ferocious like a demon, and she gritted her teeth and said.

"Even if I lose the Nine-Tails, as long as I obtain your Tenseigan and gather the power of the five elements to break Abe no Seimei's Five Elements Seal, I can turn this country into a living hell!"

Princess Kaguya flew through the air like lightning, swooping down towards the Hyuga Shrine Maiden.

"Hand over your Tenseigan!"

With her lips deathly pale and her body utterly weak, the Hyuga Shrine Maiden barely opened one eye. At the critical moment, she suddenly raised the muzzle of her sniper rifle, and a basketball-sized white bullet shot out, repelling Princess Kaguya.

"boom!"

Princess Kaguya's chest and below were blown to pieces, and her head and mutilated body floated in mid-air.

"It can still retaliate, but it's only at its last gasp. It can only add so little magic-breaking power, which will cause me negligible damage."

A hint of surprise appeared on Princess Kaguya's face, but that was all.

Compared to the massive light cannon that shattered a palace as large as a martial arts arena like divine punishment, this light blast was like a candle flame compared to the bright moon; its power and impact were simply incomparable.

Contrary to expectations, Princess Kaguya did not rush to repair her damaged body. Instead, an unidentified liquid, resembling black mud, seeped from her chest cavity.

"Gurgle—"

The black mud swelled up as if it had been inflated, and in an instant it transformed into a dark blue-green mountain of flesh that was over ten meters high. Princess Kaguya's upper body was stuck to the top of the mountain of flesh.

"Become a part of me, your Reincarnation Eye will also become my eyes."

The mountain of flesh, resembling a giant slime, wriggled and extended a huge black hand, reaching down to grab the immobile Hyuga priestess.

"Great Fireball Technique!"

Just then, a fireball nearly a meter in diameter shot out, shattering the giant black hand and scattering chunks of flesh all over the ground.

"Oh, I forgot, there are still a few ants here."

Princess Kaguya turned her head and, for the first time, focused her gaze on the Uchiha Senmon group.

However, the mockery and malice in their gazes sent chills down their spines, and an uncontrollable shiver ran through their bodies.

"Mr. Kabuto Yakushi, can you handle Princess Kaguya now? Or rather, can you break the Caged Bird Curse?"

Uchiha Senmon's expression was extremely solemn; he never expected the situation to take such a sharp turn for the worse.

The Hyuga Shrine Maiden, who had initially held the upper hand, was completely overwhelmed and defeated after Kaguya used the Caged Bird Technique.

Having lost their strongest fighter, Kabuto Yakushi and the three rookies alone are no match for Princess Kaguya.

"I know a little about the art of binding curses, but I'm afraid I can't bind the Tenseigan on my own."

"What should we do then?" Tosu Hero asked, somewhat at a loss.

"Things are beyond our control; we can only hope for the best."

Kabuto Yakushi also lost his previous calm and relaxed demeanor, cold sweat appeared on his forehead, and he revealed an extremely bitter smile.

At the same time, another enormous, slimy tentacle emerged from the mountain of flesh.

With overwhelming force, it crashed down menacingly onto the group of Uchiha Senmon standing on the wooden corridor.

"Retreat now!"

"boom!"

The corridor beneath their feet was snapped in half, splinters of wood flying everywhere, broken railings scattering into the bottomless abyss of darkness.

"Oh no! Lady Shrine Maiden!"

The Hyuga priestess, rendered powerless by the Caged Bird Technique, also fell down.

The black tentacles coiled back, enveloping the Hyuga priestess, then withdrew, pulling her body into the mountain of flesh beneath Princess Kaguya.

In the instant it devoured the Hyuga Shrine Maiden, a clear and bright white spiritual light emanated from within the mountain of flesh, turning its entire body into a semi-transparent state.

"This is amazing! The eyeballs are moving like a fetus! This is the power of the Reincarnation Eye! Hahahaha!"

Princess Kaguya covered her eyes with her hands, her face showing a look of utter infatuation.

The black mountain of flesh beneath him began to swell and writhe wildly, unleashing terrifying power that whipped up a gale that stung the face.

"This power is truly amazing, so delicious! Even Konohana Sakuya pales in comparison, except for the Nine-Tails. Moreover, since we share the same origin, it won't cause indigestion like Konohana Sakuya did."

"Yakushi Kabuto..."

Uchiha Senmon raised his arms to shield his face, struggling against the storm and pressure unleashed by Kaguya, racking his brains for a way to break the deadlock.

Just then, he noticed out of the corner of his eye that Kabuto Yakushi had disappeared.

Upon closer inspection, Kabuto Yakushi had already leaped onto another long corridor with lightning speed, and his figure disappeared into the darkness in a few flashes.

Kabuto Yakushi actually ran away!

However, even the Uchiha Sage Sect had to admit that this was the wise move.

Having lost the trump card of Hyuga Shrine Maiden, the mission to seal Princess Kaguya was doomed to failure.

"Tosu, Yuki, let's split up and evacuate!"

The Uchiha Senmon hated their own weakness and powerlessness, but in front of a monster like Kaguya who was almost like a god or demon, they were even more vulnerable than an infant. It was not shameful to run away from an enemy they could not defeat.

He gritted his teeth, randomly chose a corridor different from the one Yakushi Kabuto had, and rushed in.

Upon seeing this, Tosu Hideo and Yuki Mineko also scattered.

"Ha, trying to escape."

Princess Kaguya snorted coldly. She was busy suppressing and digesting the power of the Hyuga Shrine Maiden within her and had no time to spare for anything else. However, Princess Kaguya naturally had a way to bring the person back.

"Go! My puppet army, capture the four of them. Live, not dead."

At Princess Kaguya's command, countless puppets suddenly appeared from the shadows of the corridor and under the eaves of the palace buildings, and immediately split into several groups to chase after them.

The City of the Moon is a hidden paradise. Above the endless abyss, long corridors, like star bridges connecting the stars, link the palaces together.

With a look of alertness on his face, Uchiha Senmon sped along the long wooden corridor like the wind, while a loud crawling sound came from the darkness a dozen meters behind him.

"Damn it, are they catching up again?"

Uchiha Senmon's expression changed. He stopped and turned around, the muzzle of his rifle spitting fire.

"Da da da!"

In the firelight, one could see a series of maid puppets dressed in elegant kimonos, with exquisitely beautiful faces. Their limbs and heads twisted strangely, and they pounced on him like wild beasts, on all fours, in a terrifying posture.

In the darkness, Uchiha Senmon's eyes glowed with a blood-red light. With the insight of his two-tomoe Sharingan, every bullet struck the puppet with pinpoint accuracy.

However, there were simply too many puppets. Although the Uchiha Sage Sect managed to destroy more than a dozen in one go, more and more puppets kept rushing in.

Suddenly, the intense gunfire stopped.

"Damn it, we're out of bullets! And grenades too..."

Uchiha Senmon casually tossed aside the automatic rifle, quickly formed hand seals, and then puffed out his cheeks:

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

Now, facing a life-or-death situation, the Uchiha Sage no longer held back, unleashing a powerful fireball nearly twice the size of Yuuki Mineko's.

"Boom!"

The relentless puppets were blasted away in one go, and the few remaining survivors leaped from the railings and rushed towards the Uchiha Sage Gate from different directions.

The Uchiha Sage's two-tomoe Sharingan swirled, the hand seals changed, and then he pursed his lips:

"Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique!"

The fireballs he controlled struck down several puppets with perfect accuracy, turning them into torches.

After clearing out the pursuers, Uchiha Senmon felt his spiritual energy rapidly depleting. He leaned against the railing, panting heavily.

This is the third wave.

After resting for a short while, the Uchiha Immortal Sect gritted their teeth and continued their escape.

He knew that apart from Kabuto Yakushi, the chances of the three of them escaping Moon Castle were only a hair's breadth, but even so, he wanted to seize this tiny glimmer of hope.

I absolutely cannot die here like this!

Just then, Uchiha Senmon suddenly heard a whistling sound coming from the sky, and his expression changed drastically as he looked in the direction of the sound.

Hundreds of black-clad puppets filled the sky like a swarm of bats, interspersed with a few golden celestial soldiers and generals, forming a black torrent that surged menacingly toward him.

Despair immediately flashed in Uchiha Senmon's eyes.

If it were only a dozen or twenty puppets, he could still fight back, but with so many, escaping alive is a pipe dream.

A quarter of an hour later, a group of black-clad puppets escorted the Uchiha Sage back to the palace ruins.

"senior……"

"Mr. Uchiha."

Uchiha Senmon glanced at Tosu Hideo and Yuuki Mineko, who were also captured, shook his head, and said nothing more. Finally, his gaze fell on Yakushi Kabuto, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

The pharmacist collapsed to the ground, covered in dust and dirt, unconscious and unsure of his fate. Even his round glasses were shattered.

Even Kabuto Yakushi was caught?

They captured them all; I thought at least he could escape...

"Although you four are not even dessert compared to the main course, the Tenseigan, as a bonus to break the seal of the five elements, I will make you part of my power as well."

From the mountain of flesh beneath Kaguya, whose eyes were tightly closed, four tentacles extended, enveloping Uchiha Senmon and the other three before retracting back into her body.

"You ants, only slightly larger than mortals, can be completely digested in less than a day!"

The pentagram Kikyo Seimei mark on Kaguya's forehead began to flicker rapidly, and after a few breaths, the ice and snow finally melted away.

After the seal was broken, an earth-shattering pressure, like a hurricane passing through, and a violent shockwave directly crushed the palace ruins into dust, causing them to completely collapse.

Divine power is like a prison!

The mountain of flesh vanished into thin air, leaving the flawless body of the celestial maiden exposed to the air.

Princess Kaguya slowly opened her eyes, and purple stars flickered in her vision, like a dream.

"The Tenseigan has finally become my eyes."

After admiring herself for a while, Princess Kaguya exuded a chilling, bone-deep killing intent.

"Next, I will show the world the rage that has been sealed away for a thousand years, a rage ten or a hundred times more terrifying than the eruption of Mount Fuji!"
