I became Hokage in Tokyo

Chapters 323 and 324: The Four Red Sun Formation

After being sealed off by the Self-Defense Forces, the continuous explosions and fires in Nishi-Asakusa gripped the hearts of millions of Tokyo residents, as if they had returned to the night after the 3/11 earthquake, with rumors spreading, fear of aftershocks, and sleepless nights.

The earth-rumbling of the giant Rasengan echoed through the night sky. Even the most carefree residents of Sumida Ward, which is only separated from Asakusa by a river, couldn't help but leave their homes and look towards the opposite bank of the Sumida River.

Senso-ji Temple and the surrounding streets have been razed to the ground, and everything that was once familiar has been completely changed beyond recognition.

Everyone was stunned, thinking they were still half asleep.

What happened next was even more shocking!

"What is that?"

At the original site of Senso-ji Temple, a blue, humanoid phantom suddenly expanded, its size becoming enormous, larger than the original Kannon-do Hall or even the five-story pagoda of Senso-ji Temple, and its shape continued to rise like a mountain.

Twenty meters, thirty meters, fifty meters, until nearly a hundred meters...

"Hahaha, it seems you're still dreaming..."

Looking up at such a colossal creature, humanity's pride and courage are taken away, leaving no room for resistance; they can only stand frozen in place, dumbfounded.

Divine power is like a prison!

"boom!"

The blue giant unleashed a powerful punch, causing the earth to tremble and the land to seem to transform into a sea, with the swirling mud surging outwards like waves.

Even the residents of Sumida Ward felt as if they were standing on a rocking boat, almost falling to the ground.

"Aaaaaah—!!!"

Everyone suddenly realized what was happening, and the Japanese people's rich experience in earthquake evacuation came in handy. They rushed out of their homes and fled in droves to open areas such as parks.

Even the Self-Defense Force members guarding the Sumida River Bridge fled in panic.

"Everyone, Katori-chan is really going to become famous this time! Let me tell you, this is an opportunity that only comes around once in a lifetime. Katori-chan is the first broadcaster in all of Japan, no, the whole world to broadcast the Super Saiyan Battle..."

Amidst the crowd, a girl walked against the flow of people towards Asakusa instead of retreating.

"They actually managed to develop Susanoo to this extent."

Jiraiya looked solemnly at the nearly 100-meter-tall blue Susanoo before him.

In its third form, Susanoo dons armor resembling that of a tengu on top of its giant upper body, greatly increasing its defensive capabilities and allowing for a wider variety of weaponry.

Inside the Susanoo's abdominal cavity, Tobi's one eye, visible outside the mask, was filled with murderous intent.

"Go to hell!"

Susanoo raised an arm like a pillar supporting the sky and punched down with a terrifying aura that could destroy the world.

The enormous size difference between the two is no longer like a lion hunting a rabbit or a cat playing with a mouse, but more like a person raising their hand to swat a fly.

"Immortal Technique·Super Large Jade Rasengan!"

Jiraiya pushed the giant Rasengan, which was spinning like a hurricane, with his right hand and collided head-on with Susanoo's heavy punch.

"Boom—!"

A deafening roar, like the collision of heaven and earth, swept outwards with violent wind pressure, shattering the windows of high-rise buildings across the Sumida River.

Amidst the swirling air currents, Jiraiya's figure flashed by, appearing a hundred meters away.

Jiraiya's long, silver hair, which resembled a lion's mane, became even more disheveled. He glanced down at his right hand, which was numb and throbbing from the shock, and then looked up at Susanoo.

From the elbow down, the elbow guards and outer skin of Susanoo's arm were shaved off, leaving only the broken arm bones and finger bones.

"The Sage Art Rasengan, which incorporates natural energy, is indeed extraordinary. An ordinary Susanoo might not be able to withstand it."

Ah Fei spoke slowly and calmly, raising his right hand and waving it.

Blue chakra burst forth from the severed right arm of Susanoo, and the meridians and flesh clung to the bones, growing at a visible speed, and the hand was completely repaired in an instant.

Finally, another layer of gauntlets was placed over it, and Susanoo clenched its fist tightly, causing the air to explode with a loud bang.

"Toad Sage, show me all your tricks. If that's all you have, then I'll accept Princess Kaguya."

"Hehe, this is nothing. Your performance will definitely not disappoint you."

Jiraiya chuckled humorously, but his frog-like eyes, with their horizontal pupils, gleamed with a cold light as he hunted his prey.

"Very well, then let's continue dancing."

As soon as Afei opened his right eye, the kaleidoscope spun, and the blue Susanoo solidified like a city.

Then he stomped his foot on the ground, and Susanoo, carrying the power to uproot mountains and overwhelm the world, charged towards Jiraiya.

Jiraiya remained unfazed, swiftly retreating like a rabbit, his hands moving rapidly to form a series of hand seals before pressing them to the ground:

"Earth Release·Yellow Spring Marsh!"

The soil collapsed, the mud became muddy, and a swamp the size of several football fields appeared.

Only the complete Susanoo grows wings and has the ability to fly.

The Susanoo, a massive aggregate of chakra, was as heavy as a mountain. Although it wasn't swallowed by the swamp, its movements were inevitably affected.

Yomi-no-Nama was shaped into terrain that was advantageous to Jiraiya.

As Tobi controlled Susanoo to strike down with his palm, mud and water splashed everywhere, but Jiraiya nimbly leaped left and right across the swamp, not even getting his sleeves touched.

"It really is just a toad."

Afei's gaze turned cold, and he clapped his hands together, preparing to form hand seals and use other escape techniques, when a sky-covering golden flame, like a sea of ​​fire, engulfed Susanoo.

"Bang bang bang!"

In the sudden heatwave, the swamp evaporated and dried up into wasteland in an instant.

"Even the Samadhi True Fire cannot break through Susanoo's absolute defense."

All he could see was golden light and flames. Afei reached for the Uchiha fan tucked behind his waist, wanting to use the same trick again to deflect the Samadhi True Fire back.

"Celestial Art: Five Fire Divine Flame Fan!"

Just then, Jiraiya suddenly appeared out of the ground, clasped his hands together, and boundless Samadhi True Fire condensed in his hands, golden light shimmering and flowing, before he swung his arm forward.

"boom!"

Uchiha Fan and Five Flame God Fan clash head-on!

The devastating flames unleashed by the Immortal Art: Five Fire Divine Flame Fan were so powerful that even Susanoo could not withstand them head-on. Its outermost armor crumbled, and its flesh was burned away.

The burst of light and heat vaporized and evaporated the figure wearing a black robe with red clouds in the blink of an eye, turning it to ashes.

As night fell, Tokyo was once again bathed in the golden light of the sun, which shone brightly and released endless light and heat. The void itself seemed to ignite, and the ever-flowing Sumida River nearly boiled over!

The aftershocks once again leveled the already razed Nishi-Asakusa, turning it into a white wasteland, with only flames dancing in the lava.

"Is this a nuclear bomb?"

This terrifying momentum made all the observers watching the battle involuntarily think of humanity's ultimate weapon.

"No living being could survive such an attack, not even a Kage-level expert!"

"It's finally over!"

In the now infernal Nishiasakusa, all that could be seen was Jiraiya standing there, panting heavily.

It was as if all traces of Ah Fei had been forcibly erased, leaving not even a trace.

"Even in Sage Mode, I'm finding it a bit too much to keep up with the continuous use of Sage Techniques."

Jiraiya was covered in sweat, his eyes were filled with exhaustion, and he was panting heavily.

The bright red lines on his face gradually faded, and his bumpy, bulbous nose and frog-like eyes returned to their original state, as he exited the Sage Mode.

"What?"

Suddenly, ripples appeared in the void, and a skeletal arm delivered a powerful punch that sent Jiraiya flying dozens of meters away like a baseball.

"Cough cough cough!"

Jiraiya clutched his chest in agony, got up from the ground, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

A row of rib-shaped armor enveloped A-Fei, which floated in the void and was connected to a skeletal arm that was more than ten meters long.

"You're really cheating, using your Kaleidoscope to hide in another dimension again." Jiraiya looked at Tobi and forced a smile.

"Between Sage Mode and Susanoo, it seems the Mangekyou Sharingan is stronger. But you're the first enemy I've encountered who could break through my Susanoo's absolute defense head-on!"

In the firelight, the black and red clouds on Afei's body fluttered wildly.

The terrifying explosion that had previously resembled a catastrophic event hadn't even touched the hem of his clothes.

"Toad Sage, it's such a pity that a powerful being like you has died."

Tobi extended his hand to Jiraiya and said:

"Hand over Princess Kaguya, and I might spare your life."

"You already possess the power of Susanoo, so why are you still fixated on the Nine-Tails? Even without the Nine-Tails, with your eye power, what goal can't you achieve?"

Jiraiya wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and asked a completely unrelated question.

"The Nine-Tails has always belonged to our clan. Not only the Nine-Tails, but all the other tailed beasts are the same."

Ah Fei's voice was icy cold, devoid of any emotion as he spoke:

"Returning things to their rightful owner is only right and proper. I will unite the Nine-Tails and the other tailed beasts once again to reshape the entire world."

"A tailed beast?!"

Jiraiya's expression changed, and he couldn't help but frown and mutter to himself.

"Hmph, it seems you only have a superficial understanding of the truth behind the destruction of the Age of Gods."

Afei sneered, his tone full of intriguing meaning.

"Toad Sage, you're nothing but a charlatan with little experience. It's not surprising you don't know. Aside from our clan, perhaps only a living fossil like the Great Toad Sage would know the specific reasons."

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya's expression became complicated, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

"What you're saying is quite interesting. I've never heard of such things before. Could you elaborate?"

"I'm not here to chat with you about the history of the Age of Gods. That's enough for now. Toad Sage, I'll give you one last chance: hand over Princess Kaguya."

"What I love most is telling guys like you, 'No!' Cough..."

Jiraiya covered his mouth halfway through his sentence, and blood flowed from between his fingers.

He then casually spat the blood-tinged saliva onto the ground, wiped his mouth, nonchalantly smeared the blood on his sleeve, waved his hand dismissively, and said:

"I won't take a man's request seriously. If you're going to ask me, at least send a beautiful woman. Surely your Akatsuki isn't all men, there should be one or two beauties among you."

"Toad Sage, stop making jokes."

Seeing Jiraiya's shameless and irresponsible attitude, Tobi's anger gradually escalated.

"With your life force already exhausted, even if you try to put up a fight, you'll only be courting death. Don't refuse a toast only to suffer the consequences."

"When it comes to running out of energy, we're in the same boat."

Although Jiraiya was seriously injured and his energy was low.

However, Afei's condition was not much better; his right kaleidoscope was bloodshot, and blood tears kept flowing down his face.

"While your Susanoo is indeed very strong, the most troublesome thing is, as expected, your Mangekyou Sharingan technique called Kamui."

Jiraiya wore an inscrutable expression and pondered for a moment:

"With this spacetime eye technique, you are invincible from the start, and any attack will miss its mark. If things go wrong, you can instantly teleport to another dimension, making you impossible to catch."

Afei remained noncommittal and indifferent.

"Although I'm not at my peak either, I'm still more than capable of dealing with you. Or do you think you can escape right under my nose, with your divine might?"

Afei's Mangekyou Sharingan flashed with a bloodthirsty red light, and his tone was filled with a chilling killing intent.

"Toad Sage, you have nowhere to run!"

"You're the one who has nowhere to run!"

Jiraiya suddenly roared, clasped his hands together, and then a screen of light formed by red, transparent flames unfolded in front of him.

[Barrier Ninjutsu LV1]

[Barrier Ninjutsu LV2]

[Barrier Ninjutsu LV3]

[Barrier Ninjutsu LV4 (max)]!

At the same time, in addition to this place, three other places several miles away also erupted with overwhelming power, echoing Jiraiya's.

A huge, dark red rectangular barrier appeared in the four directions of east, west, south, and north, covering the original site of Senso-ji Temple.

The barrier is engulfed in red flames, which can isolate the target from the outside world, preventing outsiders from entering the barrier and preventing enemies inside the barrier from escaping.

"This is... the Four Red Sun Formation!"

Ah Fei's eyes were filled with disbelief, and he couldn't help but exclaim:

"But the Four Crimson Sun Formation requires four Shadow-level experts to activate. Who are they?"

Afei's eyes then turned to the four corners of the Four Red Sun Formation. With his kaleidoscope-like perception, he could see clearly even from ten miles away.

"Tsunade!"

On the ruins of an office building to the east stood a beautiful blonde woman with a broad mind.

"The bald monk of the Fire Temple!"

Standing to the south was a large monk with a compassionate expression, thick eyebrows, and big eyes.

"Woof woof woof!"

Finally, a few barks came from the broken bridge over the Sumida River to the west.

"And another one, a dog? No, it's a kid possessed by Konohana Sakura-hime!"
