I became Hokage in Tokyo

Chapters 327 and 328: Super Shadow Level

A large white hand extracted Afei's soul from his body, a wisp of eerie blue soul fire flickering in its palm before it clenched its five fingers together.

The towering blue sequel, Nenghu, crumbled, and Afei's lifeless body collapsed to the ground.

"Gulp."

Among the high-ranking officials and dignitaries hiding in suburban shelters watching the live broadcast, countless people were nervously swallowing their saliva, unable to believe what they were seeing.

Just a minute ago, Tobi was all-powerful, ruthlessly ravaging Tokyo and leaving humanity helpless, even intending to obliterate Jiraiya, the Toad Sage. Yet, he was utterly powerless to resist and had his soul stripped away by the Black Sun.

That's incredible! It's beyond imagination!

But is He Yama, the King of Hell, or Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?

But whoever it is, this is truly a great deity!

"If a single hand could turn the tide and suppress Susanoo, how terrifying must the full power of the Black Sun be?"

"Lord Jiraiya once said that those extraordinary beings who can project themselves into the mortal realm are called Kage-level powerhouses, but this ruler of hell is clearly far superior to all the Kage-level powerhouses who have appeared so far!"

The staff and experts in the operations room were all convinced that they had deduced the classification of the top combat power of the extraordinary side.

Whether it's Sasori of the Red Sand, Orochimaru, and others from the Akatsuki organization, or Jiraiya and Jiraiya, who stand on the side of humanity, they are all Kage-level powerhouses in the Celestial Realm.

Tobi's defeat of Jiraiya undoubtedly places him in the top tier among Kage-level shinobi, but it doesn't represent an absolute crushing victory over other Kage-level shinobi.

The Black Sun, which instantly killed Afei, clearly surpassed the realm of Kage-level.

Super Shadow Level!

By the way, below the Kage-level powerhouses, there are also their projections into the lower realm, which should be considered as quasi-Kage level.

So, arranged like this:

Near-King level, King level, Super King level!

"It's finally over, this long night is finally over."

On the west side of the Four Red Sun Formation, Uchiha Senmon lowered his hands, and the ice and snow in the Four Red Sun Formation began to melt.

His face showed unconcealable exhaustion. Although maintaining the Four Red Yang Formation consumed most of Konohana Sakura's divine power, Uchiha Senmon, as the host, was also suffering.

Even so, Uchiha Senmon, dragging his body which felt as heavy as if it were filled with lead, struggled to lift his head and look ahead.

The majestic, domineering, and blazing black sun, like a celestial body in motion, descended along its original orbit towards the open Rashomon gate.

After seizing Afei's soul, the giant white hand did not retract back into the black sun.

Before the black sun returned to hell, a large white hand suddenly extended its index finger, pointing towards the night sky, as if it had a specific meaning.

This divine gesture is like Michelangelo's masterpiece "The Creation of Adam," where a divine finger imbues humanity with its soul.

"This is……"

The Uchiha Sage Gate was positioned at a very good angle, on the central axis in front of Rashomon, where the pillar-like finger could be clearly seen pointing straight into the night sky.

He looked up following the finger and his pupils immediately contracted.

"moon!"

The finger was pointing to the bright moon in the night sky.

"Boom!"

In an instant, millions of bolts of lightning struck down from the night sky, accompanied by thunder and lightning.

A lightning storm, like divine punishment, roared above the already white-covered Asakusa Nine Heavens, instantly turning the night sky as bright as day, almost blinding people.

Uchiha Senmon's eyes narrowed subconsciously, and two tomoe appeared in each eye.

An arm reaching out from the darkness points directly at the moon, as if confronting it!

The large white hand, still pointing directly at the moon, gradually sank into Rashomon and finally disappeared.

"It's absolutely spectacular..."

Behind Uchiha Senmon, Tenkai Katori's lips trembled as she gasped for breath, her eyes vacant and somewhat neurotic.

Looking back on the series of dazzling changes that had occurred, Amami Katori still feels her mind go blank; at the time, she simply instinctively picked up her recording equipment to start a live broadcast.

And it was precisely because of this accidental success that he was able to remain clear-headed, unlike the rebellious helicopter photographer who stared directly at the heavens.

"Did everyone see that? Katori-chan is really questioning her existence, wondering what kind of world she's been living in for twenty years..."

Amami Kaori shook her head with a wry smile and glanced at the screen.

With a cry of "Ah!", her delicate body trembled violently, as if she had been electrocuted.

The number of viewers in the live stream has exceeded five million!

Kaori Amami was overjoyed; tonight was undoubtedly the peak of her career.

She could already foresee the scene of her taking on gigolos and making a fortune, with no room for negotiation without five million yen for her first gigolo!

"Yes, Director. I understand."

Uchiha Senmon hung up the phone, turned and glanced at Tenkai Katori, who was having a sweet dream, and said indifferently:

"I remember you're Ms. Amami, right?"

"Oh no, you're not going to ban my account again, are you?"

Tenkai Kaori's eyelids twitched, and she suddenly remembered that the handsome man in front of her was not only an extraordinary person, but also a government official. She couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart and muttered.

"Ms. Amami, please stay here and do not move around. Someone will contact you shortly."

Before Uchiha Senmon could finish speaking, he averted his gaze from the female anchor and swiftly ran towards the still-present Rashomon gate.

The Superintendent General of Police called, but it wasn't just about the trivial matter of Amami Kaori taking over the live stream.

The more debts one has, the less one worries; the more lice one has, the less itchy one feels. The Metropolitan Police Department and the government have long since given up on the idea of ​​continuing to hide the extraordinary from the public. Let Amami Kaori's live stream go ahead.

After Tobi was killed and the Black Sun returned to the underworld, lookouts and drones near Asakusa observed that Jiraiya and other superhumans were gathering in front of Rashomon, seemingly preparing to leave.

A high-ranking delegation composed of very important figures has been dispatched and is rushing here at great urgency.

They demanded that the Uchiha Sage Sect do its best to keep these Kage-level powerhouses in check.

The Japanese government still has a lot of questions to answer, such as the truth of the deity in the Black Sun, the connection between heaven and earth, and the true name of the deity. How can they just let them return like this?

Although he was exhausted, Uchiha Senmon still forced himself to run forward.

This is not only to complete the task assigned by superiors, but also for my own sake.

This time, it is not an ordinary monster, superhuman, or god who has descended, but a supreme deity who rules the afterlife. His tragic wish may be fulfilled from another perspective.

Uchiha Senmon rushed to the Rashomon gate.

The doors of Rashomon are not yet completely closed; the world behind them, filled with darkness, terror, and despair, still exudes a chilling aura.

Is this the afterlife?

Uchiha Senmon's eyes flashed, his expression somewhat gloomy and uncertain.

If I enter through Rashomon, can I reach Yomotsu Hirasaka via the Sanzu River?

"Woof woof woof!"

Just as he was pondering, the little white beast pounced into Uchiha Senmon's arms, nuzzling affectionately against his chest.

Uchiha Senmon suddenly chuckled to himself.

However, after witnessing the divine power of the black sun, the Uchiha Sage Sect could no longer treat the white beast like a dog and pet it as before.

"Ahem, Jiraiya-sama, Princess Tsunade, and Master Jiraiya, the government has entrusted me to convey my greetings to you."

Uchiha Senmon, holding the small white beast, coughed lightly and respectfully addressed the several Kage-level powerhouses standing beneath Rashomon.

Jiraiya completely lacked the demeanor of a sage, sitting casually on the ground with his legs spread wide, while Tsunade stood behind him, her hands resting on his back, emitting a gentle, shimmering green light to heal his injuries.

The toad sage's complexion and aura improved at a visible speed.

"We are very grateful for your generous help, which has enabled us to get through this difficult time. Please allow us to do our part as hosts and entertain you."

"I'm bored, I'm exhausted tonight, I'm going home."

Tsunade, with her golden hair and snow-white skin, rubbed her heavy shoulders, uttered a single sentence, and then vanished like a firefly.

"Jiraiya, you owe me again. And the medical bills too, we'll settle them all next time."

Seeing that Tsunade remained unmoved and unresponsive, Uchiha Senmon's heart sank, he sighed, and changed his target.

"And what about you, Master Dilu? Would you like to see an old friend?"

The Metropolitan Police Department still has considerable trust in Master Jiraiya.

Moreover, the origin of the Asakusa Incident stemmed from an unnamed stone Buddha unearthed from Senso-ji Temple that appeared in a dream to Officer Yuji Kanbara, indicating a deep connection with the Temple of Fire.

Master Dilu must know quite a bit of inside information.

"Amitabha, this humble monk's incarnation has also reached its limit, and I fear I cannot remain here for long."

Master Dilu clasped his hands together, golden Buddhist light emanating from his body, and chanted Buddhist mantras.

"Moreover, the Buddhist affinity of Benefactor Shenyuan does not lie with this humble monk, so there is no need for us to meet."

As soon as he finished speaking, Master Dilu's body transformed into a streak of red light, soaring into the sky before disappearing into the night.

Uchiha Senmon's expression was somewhat subtle, wondering what the Zen riddle Master Jiraiya had meant before leaving.

However, after Tsunade and Jiraiya returned, Rashomon was left with only one person, one dog, and one immortal.

"Lord Jiraiya..."

The Uchiha clan was in a dilemma. If Jiraiya returned without saying much, like the other two, it would be difficult to explain to their superiors.

"Wait a moment before you speak, a messenger from hell is on his way."

Jiraiya got up from the ground, dusted himself off, and reached out to interrupt Uchiha Senmon's words, his gaze sharpening as he looked towards Rashomon.

Uchiha Senmon felt a chill run down his spine and wisely kept quiet, standing idly to the side.

The next second, a flash of fire appeared at the Rashomon gate, and a blazing wheel of fire leaped into the sky.

Where is the toad hermit of Mount Myōboku?

A cat demon dressed in linen clothes, yellow and white, floated in the air surrounded by flames, asking questions from above.

Uchiha Senmon's expression changed; this was the cat demon train that had appeared before.

Moreover, the bloodthirsty and brutal acts described in the case file greatly disgusted the Uchiha Sage Sect.

As if sensing the hostility of the Uchiha Sage Clan, the cat demon's green eyes, glowing in the night, looked at him emotionlessly.

"Woof!"

Before Uchiha Senmon could speak, the little white beast in his arms started barking at the train cat demon.

"Oh dear, Lord Di Ting, haven't you returned to the Underworld yet? It wouldn't be good if you kept King Yama waiting."

The train, which had been so domineering just moments before, suddenly lost its temper.

It rubbed its palms together in a human-like manner, and its fluffy cat face even managed to vividly display a fawning expression.

"Alright, little cat, this immortal is here."

Jiraiya said to the train cat demon:

"Speak quickly, Lord Taishan must have something for you to convey to me."

"This is the decree of King Yama, please keep it safe, immortal."

The cat demon Train presented a gleaming golden jade book with both hands.

Jiraiya nodded, and without any hesitation, reached out and grabbed the jade scroll.

After delivering the imperial edict, the cat demon train landed in front of Uchiha Senmon and respectfully addressed the small white beast:

"Lord Diting, we should return to the Underworld before dawn."

The small white beast nuzzled Uchiha Senmon's palm, full of reluctance, but still jumped down from Uchiha Senmon's arms.

"Immortal Sect, I must also say goodbye to you."

A gentle voice echoed in Uchiha Senmon's ears.

"Lady Konohanasakuya, are you leaving too?"

"I am different from the others. I am not a projection of a clone. I am the real me, who was devoured by Princess Kaguya during the Heian period."

Muhana Kaiya sighed softly and smiled bitterly.

"Returning to Takamagahara from the human world in this era is somewhat difficult. However, entering the underworld and using it as a transit point would make things much easier. Moreover, I was fortunate enough to have an audience with the Lord of Mount Tai a thousand years ago, so asking Him for some assistance should not be a problem."

Have a safe journey.

"Immortal Sect, and that girl named Yuuki, thanks to you both, I was able to escape Princess Kaguya's clutches."

A faint green light emanated from Uchiha Senmon's body, and the Spring Goddess with cherry blossom hair and blue eyes gradually manifested.

"Although you have returned to Takamagahara, I will still be watching over you. The power of Wood Release will surely be of assistance to you. You must use the power of the Sharingan with caution, and never fall into darkness like this Uchiha clansman named Tobi."

She gazed at the Uchiha Senmon, a bright smile as beautiful as cherry blossoms appearing on her exquisite face.

"As for Yuki, I also left her a gift that corresponds to her fire element."

"Toad Sage, I'll take my leave first."

After nodding to Jiraiya, Konohana Sakuya flew into the sky and disappeared into Rashomon.

One by one, they all left.

Uchiha Senmon couldn't help but feel a little lost.

Jiraiya unfolded the edict of the Lord of Mount Tai and stared at it intently for a while before putting it away, frowning and looking thoughtful.

"Lord Taizan... Lord Jiraiya, may I inquire about the 'Lord Taizan Festival'...?"

Although he knew it was presumptuous, Uchiha Senmon couldn't help but ask tentatively.

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya's eyes suddenly sharpened:

"At the Taishan Fujun Festival, do you wish to bring the dead back to life?"
