I became Hokage in Tokyo

Chapters 307 and 308: Even a rabbit will bite when cornered.

"Wood Release!?"

A vine-like sapling suddenly sprouted from Princess Kaguya's right eye. She was startled at first, then understood, and exclaimed in shock and anger:

"Kokubana Sakura-hime, you vile woman, your ghost still lingers!"

Princess Kaguya forcefully ripped the branch from her right eye, instantly turning her eye socket into a bloody mess. However, her other eye was peeled open layer by layer like a flower bud, with each layer revealing a cluster of lush green leaves blooming in succession.

"Ah, my eyes! My rebirth eyes! How dare you, Konohana Sakuya-hime!"

Something seemed to be moving beneath her skin, and Princess Kaguya screamed as she scratched her face until it bled profusely.

The next moment, countless branches and vines grew wildly and burst out!

"Aaaaaaahh ...

Several rapidly growing, towering trees, like wedges driven into Princess Kaguya's body, bound her tightly.

Moreover, on the land that was still scorching hot after the lava passed through, many trees sprang up and formed a forest around Kaguya in just a few seconds.

The branches grew rapidly at a visible speed, coiling around Princess Kaguya's limbs like pythons.

Wood Release: Advent of the Tree World!

"Now!"

At the same time, a dazzling green light burst forth from the huge wound that Kaguya had been exposed by Kabuto's self-destruction, and a thick tree root emerged from it.

The tree roots extended, revealing a human figure encased within them.

"call--!"

Uchiha Senmon was finally freed from Kaguya's body. He took a deep breath, feeling a sense of exhilaration and joy at being reborn.

Immediately afterward, the Uchiha Immortal Sect glanced again with lingering fear at Kaguya, who was almost invisible as she was entangled and bound by dozens of gnarled old trees.

Is this Konohana Sakuya's Wood Release power?!

They actually suppressed the arrogant and ferocious Kaguya-hime.

Wood Release: Advent of the World of Trees is a Wood Release secret technique that uses one's own chakra as the source of life. It causes multiple trees to sprout from the ground, creating a forest. Within the forest, the user can control both offense and defense, and it is also an all-around technique that can capture enemies.

"I've already said it, Princess Kaguya's insatiable greed will be the reason for her downfall. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have succeeded so easily."

Konohana Sakura's voice echoed in Uchiha Senmon's ears.

"I destroyed Kaguya's Tenseigan from the inside immediately, severing one of her arms, but even so, with the power I have left, it is beyond my ability to completely seal Kaguya."

Uchiha Senmon's eyes flashed; that was indeed the case.

Konohana Sakuya-hime launched a sudden attack and severely injured Kaguya-hime, but Kaguya-hime, who possesses an immortal body, was able to quickly make a comeback.

"The arrival of the Tree World can only suppress Princess Kaguya for a while; I need help. The key next step is to rescue your companions who, like you, have been devoured by Princess Kaguya."

What?

A look of surprise appeared on Uchiha Senmon's face.

Who exactly was Lady Konohanasakuya referring to? Of the five people devoured by Princess Kaguya, the only one who could be considered to have offered assistance was the guardian priestess of Hourai Island.

"There's no time to explain now. Just use this technique to pull the person out of Princess Kaguya's body."

Just like before, a new Wood Release technique appeared in Uchiha Senmon's mind.

His expression turned serious, and after forming a hand seal, he stretched out his arm towards Princess Kaguya, with several wooden vine branches extending into her wound.

Wood Release: Great Tree Technique.

Several branches stretched out inside Princess Kaguya's body, "searching and scraping" her insides, like opening a blind box.

Before long, the Uchiha Senmon sensed a distinct foreign object.

With a tug of his arm, a branch dragged the unconscious, blind Torii Hero out of Kaguya's body.

"Lady Konohana Sakura, did you say that the help comes from the power within Mr. Tosu?" asked Uchiha Senmon.

Although Tosu Hideo is a kind-hearted person, the evil and eerie supernatural power within him has always made the Uchiha Sage Sect wary of him.

While rescuing Prince Akishino at Mount Fuji, Hideo Tosu awakened another kind of evil magic, and he probably harbors quite a secret.

"No, this man does indeed possess the power of an ancient sea god, but he is not the help I seek."

Just then, a man dressed in a black robe with red clouds quietly appeared on the treetop of the large tree that had been brought to life by the Wood Release: Tree World Descent.

From his elevated position, Afei was observing the Uchiha Senmon with great interest.

"As expected, it's Wood Release. What's clinging to you is probably the remnant of Konohana Sakuya-hime."

Afei grinned and said, "A thousand years have passed, and it still hasn't been digested by Princess Kaguya. As expected of the Goddess of Spring, her vitality is truly tenacious. This could be considered an intestinal stone by now."

Uchiha Senmon's expression changed; he had never forgotten this person's existence.

Although they had temporarily suppressed Kaguya, Akatsuki's number one dangerous figure had never left.

Although it was said that the Akatsuki organization released the sealed Kaguya, Tobi clearly had ill intentions and plotted against her, and fought with Kaguya.

To some extent, they now share the same interests as Afei; the enemy of my enemy is also a friend.

"What are you doing? You think you can reseal Princess Kaguya with the mere existence of Konohana Sakuya, who's barely clinging to life? You're seriously underestimating Princess Kaguya."

Uchiha Senmon frowned, remained silent, and continued to feel the blind box with the wooden stick he had inserted into Kaguya's body.

Suddenly, Uchiha Senmon's face lit up with joy, and he pulled out the wooden vine once again.

This time, Mineko Yuuki was rescued.

Uchiha Senmon couldn't help but feel disappointed.

Mineko Yuuki was the weakest among them, only knowing how to use the Great Fireball Technique. In a battle of this level, the Great Fireball Technique was completely useless except as a way to add excitement to the fight.

"It's this girl from Mount Myoboku!"

An incredulous look appeared on Uchiha Senmon's face. Of course, he knew that Yuki Mineko had obtained the extraordinary inheritance from Jiraiya, the Toad Sage, while dreaming of Mount Myōboku.

In other words, the help that Konohanasakuya-hime mentioned was the toad sage Jiraiya, who had never shown his face before?

Suddenly, the summit of Mount Fuji shook violently, and a vast expanse of ominous black clouds covered the sky and hung over everyone's heads.

A storm was brewing, and the Uchiha Senmon keenly sensed the dangerous and violent atmosphere in the air.

"I am an immortal celestial maiden, ageless and indestructible! Do you think you can seal me away like this? You're dreaming!"

A gigantic white beast head suddenly broke free from the entanglement of the forest!

It took a vicious bite and snapped the old tree trunk, which was as thick as several people could hug, in half.

"Snap!"

"Snap!"

The towering trees that had been born from the arrival of the Tree Realm were uprooted one after another.

Uchiha Senmon couldn't help but gasp.

Is this still Princess Kaguya?

How did it become such a terrifying behemoth?

"Take that girl and get out of here!"

Konohana Kaiya's voice, like a thunderclap, jolted the Uchiha Sage Sect awake from their slumber.

"But there's another person inside Princess Kaguya..."

"It's too late. That little shrine maiden from the Hyuga clan is from the same clan as Princess Kaguya, and their powers are from the same source. She has probably already been completely absorbed."

Even in Konohana Sakura's gentle voice, one could detect a hint of urgency and tension.

"Furthermore, Princess Kaguya is currently wielding not the power of the Tenseigan, but the power of the Nine-Tails!"

Uchiha Senmon acted decisively, no longer insisting. With a flick of his hands, two wooden strips shot out, entangling Torihi Hideo and Yuuki Mineko, and his body was violently thrown backward.

"Boom!"

At the same time, the white behemoth that Princess Kaguya transformed into was completely freed from the constraints of the Tree World's Descent.

Those old trees with their gnarled roots, like weeds, were uprooted effortlessly by the white behemoth's monstrous strength.

After the autumn wind swept away the fallen leaves and cleared away the debris beneath it, the enormous creature finally revealed its true form.

With its blood-red eyes, long ears, and fluffy, snow-white body, it was a giant white rabbit that was over fifty meters tall!

However, upon closer inspection, it appears somewhat strange, with a long, narrow body, a mouth full of fangs, and several large tails as long as its body trailing behind it.

It looks like the product of a rabbit and a fox mixed together!

Uchiha Senmon's Sharingan eyes spun rapidly.

Even at this distance, he could clearly see Princess Kaguya's face appear on the white giant rabbit's forehead.

Princess Kaguya's eyes were dark and hollow, with blood tears flowing freely, and her expression was indescribably ferocious.

"Konohana Sakuya-hime, with just a few remaining remnants, you dared to destroy my Tenseigan! Even if I devour you alive, I still won't be able to quell the hatred in my heart!"

Princess Kaguya roared furiously, raised her four claws, and chased after the Uchiha Immortal Sect with overwhelming force.

Uchiha Senmon's expression changed drastically, and cold sweat instantly soaked his back.

The giant white rabbit that Princess Kaguya transformed into was like a moving snow mountain. Even the slightest touch of such a colossal creature would result in death or serious injury.

"Boom!"

Just then, with a deafening roar, the white giant rabbit flew backward, completely flattening the rocks along its path for hundreds of meters.

"Kaguya-sama, have you already forgotten that I'm having a passionate affair with my old flame? I'll be heartbroken!"

A blue Susanoo, nearly a hundred meters tall and clad in armor, took advantage of Kaguya's momentary lapse in attention and chopped off one of the white giant rabbit's forearms with a powerful blow.

"Damn it! Susanoo!"

Princess Kaguya was severely injured, and the huge wound bled profusely, almost forming a river beneath her.

However, thanks to his immortality, the wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a new arm continued to grow.

"That's such a waste. The Nine-Tails' power isn't used like that. Lady Kaguya, now that things have come to this, you should put away your temper and honestly tell me the whereabouts of the Nine-Tails."

Enveloped by Susanoo, Tobi looked at Kaguya and laughed with a teasing tone.

"You forced me to use the power of the Nine-Tailed Fox, so you can forget about leaving alive!"

Princess Kaguya's face was filled with resentment as she gritted her teeth and spoke.

The giant white rabbit that He transformed into immediately pounced on Susanoo, baring its rabbit-like front teeth and biting off a corner of Susanoo's armor.

Afei's gaze turned cold, and his Mangekyou Sharingan flashed. Susanoo naturally launched a full-scale counterattack against the white behemoth.

In an instant, it was as if the great battle between Yamata no Orochi and Susanoo in Sapporo was being reenacted on Mount Fuji.

The battle between the two behemoths was even more terrifying than the previous eruption of Mount Fuji.

Taking advantage of the lull in the fight between Tobi and Kaguya, Uchiha Senmon managed to escape several hundred meters away on the mountain in one fell swoop, but the aftershocks of the battle still made him feel a chill from time to time.

"That's enough. We absolutely cannot let Princess Kaguya, no, the Nine-Tails, fall into the hands of malicious people with ulterior motives."

Although they really wanted to just run down the mountain, the Uchiha Senmon were able to distinguish between what was important and what was urgent, and now was not an opportunity to stand idly by.

"Lady Konohanasakuya, what form is Princess Kaguya currently in?"

"Princess Kaguya was the previous Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. Although the Nine-Tails was removed, its power still remained within her. With this remaining power, she was able to transform into a tailed beast."

Uchiha Senmon couldn't help but glance back.

Although the white behemoth looked half like a fox, it did not have nine tails like the legendary nine-tailed fox.

"This is not unprecedented. There have been brothers who coveted the power of the Nine-Tails and devoured its flesh and blood, thus achieving incomplete tailed beast transformation."

What exactly is the Nine-Tailed Fox?

Besides the white-faced, golden-haired Tamamo-no-Mae, are there any other nine-tailed fox spirits?

The information I currently possess is far too limited; I can only glimpse the whole picture through a small part.

With questions in mind, Uchiha Senmon placed the unconscious Yuuki Mineko on the ground.

A branch laden with lush, verdant leaves reached out from Uchiha Senmon's hand and brushed against Yuuki Mineko's head.

With treatment, Mineko Yuki quickly regained consciousness.

Just as Uchiha Senmon was about to say something, Yuuki Mineko's previously slightly confused eyes suddenly became clear.

"You lecherous immortal, you bastard!"

Immediately, Mineko Yuuki's face darkened, her lips twitched, and her chest heaved.

"Senior, don't look!"

Yuki Mineko covered her mouth, turned her head away, and after a bout of dry heaving, a gray toad hopped out.

"Quack, we've finally escaped Orochimaru's clutches and arrived in Japan."

The gray toad actually spoke human language.

The next moment, first an arm appeared, and then a living person emerged from the toad's mouth.

"The toad spirit of Mount Myōboku, the immortal hermit, and the hero Jiraiya have arrived!"
