I became Hokage in Tokyo

Chapters 347 and 348: The Twelve Divine Generals

The old hag, with her silver tongue and attempts at coercion and enticement, could not change her fate. Her silver tongue, which had been so persuasive and cunning, was pulverized by the iron spear, and her head exploded like a crushed tomato, killing her instantly.

"Hahaha……"

Witnessing the culprit who had caused her family's destruction being executed in such a cruel manner, Yamashita Tetsu's sister was overwhelmed with joy and sorrow, and fainted.

Yamashita was startled and quickly looked down to check.

"Crackling and popping!"

A few blue arcs of electricity flickered on the back of the exposed head and neck, and the air was filled with the stench of burning protein from using an electric mosquito swatter.

Several flying insects that tried to sneak in were turned to ashes.

Magnetic Escape: Iron Sand Binding Coffin.

Without even raising his eyes, Yamashita Toru waved his right hand downwards, and the iron sand behind him hummed as it transformed into a black arm that fell backwards.

The black man, who had been pretending to be limp on the ground, realized something was wrong and sprang to his feet, nimbly dodging the attack.

Iron Sand Hand missed its target.

"Yeah, how did you find me, Angleboy?"

The attacker was a black man who was paired with Yamashita Tetsu's sister at the mass wedding.

He was tall and thin, with several dreadlocks hanging down his forehead, and when he opened his mouth, he spoke with the rap style that is innate to black people.

"Of course I recognize you."

After checking on his sister's condition and finding that she was alright, Yamashita Tetsu looked up at the black man.

"M-FXXX? Impossible! Do you think I'd have fans on my debut stage?"

The Black man looked completely surprised, and he started gesturing wildly, unable to resist singing, dancing, and rapping.

Upon entering the venue, Yamashita Tetsu immediately recognized the black man as one of the Twelve Divine Generals.

In later generations, because the Japanese government controlled about ten extraordinary individuals, they were referred to as the "Twelve Divine Generals" by the media and the public, based on the twelve shikigami of the great Onmyoji Abe no Seimei.

The Twelve Divine Generals were household names and superstars in the extraordinary era.

Although the title of the Twelve Divine Generals had not yet been established in June of the sixth year of Reiwa, and the Super Police Department had not disclosed the Black man's name, information, or most importantly, his extraordinary abilities, the matter was still unknown.

However, as a reincarnated being, Yamashita Tetsu naturally knew what the extraordinary power of black people was.

Black people are insect tamers.

He can manipulate insects cultivated in the laboratory and catalyzed by his abilities. If a person is bitten by one of these insects, even a superhuman might be paralyzed and lose their ability to fight.

So after seeing through the black man's disguise, Yamashita Tetsu remained outwardly calm, but secretly covered his entire body with a layer of weak electromagnetic waves.

For ordinary people, it's just static electricity, but it's more than enough to protect against poisonous insects released by Black people.

"Besides you, there should be other superhumans here. At this point, stop hiding and come out."

The mass wedding could not continue at this stage, and the newlyweds rushed out as soon as the gunfight ended.

In the crowd, a woman disguised as a bride walked against the flow of people towards them.

"So it's 'Vermilion Bird'." Yamashita Tetsu glanced at it and said in a low voice.

Yuki Mineko casually tore off the cumbersome wedding dress, transforming it into a more convenient style, and slowly walked up to Yamashita Tetsu.

"Hello, Mr. Yamashita."

Yamashita Tetsu held his unconscious sister in his arms, unmoved. The Sand Iron Wings on his back spread open, like the wings of a giant bird, supporting the two of them and suspending them in mid-air.

Just then, the roar of engines suddenly came from all directions.

Dozens of F-15K fighter jets, along with an equal number of armed helicopters, have blocked the surrounding airspace.

"Mr. Yamashita, as you can see, these fighter jets are in position. Once you climb to a certain altitude and adopt an escape posture, the fighter jets will immediately launch a thunderous attack."

With victory assured, Mineko Yuki began to persuade him to surrender.

"If it were just you alone, there might be a chance to escape. But your sister is just an ordinary person; her body definitely can't withstand the wind pressure and acceleration of high-speed flight. Mr. Yamashita, please calm down and think about what the right thing to do is."

In aviation terminology, there is a term called blackout, which means that when a plane is subjected to a large positive acceleration during flight, its vision will turn black. This is also a warning sign of fainting, and if not handled carefully, it can lead to the destruction of the plane and the loss of life.

Pilots are all exceptionally fit, but they can only withstand 8G of acceleration and endure the pressure of eight times their own weight for a little longer.

According to laboratory data simulations, Yamashita Tetsuya, under full power, could unleash the performance of a fourth-generation fighter jet, making his chances of escaping the aerial encirclement quite high.

However, his sister was weaker than the average person and absolutely could not withstand this level of acceleration.

Yamashita Toru's successful rescue of his sister was also part of the operations room's plan.

It's like deliberately throwing wounded prisoners to the enemy, adding unnecessary burdens and making it impossible to move flexibly.

With a burden on his shoulders, Yamashita Tetsuya could no longer come and go as freely as before.

"Mr. Yamashita, the government will be lenient towards your past offenses and give you a chance to atone for your crimes..."

Based on the prepared document drafted by the negotiation experts before her arrival, Mineko Yuki spoke eloquently.

"hehe."

Yamashita Toru looked at the formation of fighter jets circling overhead, his expression calm and composed. He sneered:

"What crime have I committed? You want me to surrender? Absolutely not!"

Mineko Yuki frowned with some distress, not expecting that even in such a desperate situation, Tetsuya Yamashita would still put up a stubborn resistance.

If possible, Mineko Yuki still wants to resolve this matter peacefully.

"If negotiations fail, don't blame us for being unscrupulous—two against one! BlackAngle~~"

The black man was rapping poorly when he gave Yamashita Tetsu the middle finger. His gesture was crude, ridiculous, and laughable.

However, his current appearance is terrifying.

"Buzzing—!"

Countless tiny black insects crawled out of the black man's ears, nose, and mouth, flapping their wings and flying overhead, forming a large, smoky gray cloud.

Get started first!

Since Yamashita Tetsu refused the offer of the Supernatural Police Department, he naturally wouldn't hesitate, and the Sand Iron Wings behind him extended even further to both sides.

"call!"

A fierce wind blew, overturning all the tables, chairs, and other equipment on site.

Hundreds of black metallic feathers, trailing black streaks of light, shot towards Mineko Yuuki and the black man with lightning speed.

"Melting Escape - Protective Wall"

Yuki Mineko formed a hand seal, puffed out his mouth, and spat out a yellowish-brown protective membrane to shield the two of them.

The iron feathers, pinned to the protective membrane, trembled precariously, like rubber, full of elasticity.

"Watch out, the mountain is behind us!"

With his Iron Sand Wings spread wide, Yamashita Toru appeared and disappeared unpredictably, using the Iron Sand Feathers as cover to circle behind the two in the blink of an eye.

"M-FXXX! Take this!"

The black man roared, and countless tiny flying insects condensed into a black ball the size of a basketball in his palm, which he then hurled down the mountain.

Secret Technique: Insect Jade!

Remembering her senior Uchiha's instructions and Yamashita Tetsu's attack without any killing intent, Yuki Mineko simply gave up using any lethal techniques and instead sprayed a large amount of grayish-white cement at Yamashita Tetsu.

"Molten Release: Lime Condensation Technique!"

Faced with the attacks launched by the two, Yamashita Tetsu remained calm. The moment he was attacked, the iron sand covering his entire body spun around like a top, deflecting all the attacks.

Magnet Release: Iron Sand Spinner!

Iron sand transformed into ropes, tightly binding his younger sister and carrying her on his back. Yamashita Tetsu freed his hands and clasped them together.

"drink!"

A wave of iron sand, created by Yamashita Tetsu, surged downwards, rushing powerfully towards Yuki Mineko and the black man.

Even though the two dodged to the sides immediately, the iron sand waves relentlessly pursued them.

"No, I can't breathe!"

The black man was a beat too slow and one of his feet was grabbed by the iron sand.

They then climbed on top of it, completely enveloping the black man, just like locking him in an iron coffin.

"Boom!"

A loud explosion rang out, and red-hot iron filings flew everywhere.

Yuki Mineko wiped a smear of lava from the corner of her mouth and scrutinized the vengeful angel standing in the void as if facing a formidable enemy.

Despite becoming a transcendent being a year earlier than Yamashita Tetsu and being a disciple of the Toad Sage, and having trained at Mount Myōboku for a period of time, he was somehow outmatched in the battle.

"Could it be that Yamashita Toru is already an A-rank superhuman?"

Yuki Mineko's pretty face changed slightly as she couldn't help but let her mind wander.

Jiraiya, the Toad Sage, only introduced the concept of a Kage-level shikigami, as if to shikigami of their caliber, all those below the Kage level were mere ants, varying only in size.

But for human regimes, even ants, especially larger ones, can cause them a lot of trouble.

After extensive data collection and simulated battles, the official decision was made to add three more tiers below the original Quasi-Kage, Kage, and Super-Kage levels.

C-rank (genin), B-rank (chunin), A-rank (jonin).

A-level superhumans can be described as a one-man army, capable of taking on a legion of battalion-level strength head-on.

If it's special operations, then it's even more terrifying!

Currently, only Uchiha-senpai has been classified as an A-level superhuman.

Could Yamashita Toru be the second one?

Yuki Mineko was lost in thought and her attention was scattered. Under the relentless onslaught of the raging storm at the foot of the mountain, she could only struggle to hold on.

"Huffing and puffing!"

Just then, a Black Hawk helicopter sped up to a height of 300 meters above the scene.

The huge propellers whipped up a fierce wind that stung people's faces.

A figure jumped directly off the helicopter without a rope ladder or a parachute.

"It's him!"

Yamashita Toru's expression changed. Black iron sand condensed into a giant hand seven or eight meters long, capable of grabbing even an Asian elephant, and reached out towards the figure of the divine soldier descending from the sky.

"boom!"

The sky full of iron sand was forcibly torn apart, and the sun was seen through the clouds.

"Step back, Yuuki, you are no match for him."

The newcomer was dressed in a tailor-made, expensive uniform, which was tall and well-fitting, with a badge made of gold thread on his chest, and a long black trench coat that reached his knees.

He was dashing and full of vigor, like the sun at its zenith; he was captivating at first glance.

"Uchiha Senmon".

Yamashita Toru's pupils suddenly contracted to their limit as he spoke, each word distinct and deliberate.

The head of the Supernatural Police Department, the leader of the Twelve Divine Generals, "Azure Dragon," the number one extraordinary being on Earth, the strongest person below the Kage level, and the most promising prodigy to join the Kage level...

Before Yamashita Tetsu was reincarnated, all sorts of illustrious titles were bestowed upon one person, how could he not leave a deep impression?

"I'm sorry, senior, I've disappointed you."

When Yuuki Mineko saw Uchiha Senmon, her eyes lit up, and a wronged and shy expression immediately appeared on her face.

"It wasn't a fault of our fighting spirit, so don't worry about it. Leave the rest to me."

Uchiha Senmon offered a word of comfort, then turned his gaze to Yamashita Tetsu, scrutinizing him for a moment before a profound and unfathomable look appeared in his eyes.

"Mr. Yamashita, before we get down to business, let me ask you something. Your extraordinary powers seem very familiar. Is the organization behind you Akatsuki?"

Yamashita Toru's ability to manipulate iron sand is exactly the same as the Third Kazekage puppet produced by Sasori of the Akatsuki, which makes people wonder.

"I have no connection with the Akatsuki organization."

Uchiha Senmon chuckled and said, "That would be for the best. As long as they're not pawns supported by the Akatsuki, everything is negotiable."

Yamashita Toru was somewhat taken aback by Uchiha Senmon's straightforwardness.

"You just believe me that easily?"

"I believe I have a decent eye for people."

The way Yamashita Toru assassinated the Prime Minister is a testament to his principles.

Police found explosives and materials for making pressure cooker bombs at Yamashita Tetsu's residence. These bombs were more powerful than electric shotguns, but police decided against using them to avoid endangering others.

"Mr. Yamashita, you are a kind man. Even when you were driven to the brink of despair, you did not take your anger out on others and did your best to avoid harming the innocent."

The Uchiha clan not only didn't dislike this kind of person, but actually quite admired him.

"I'm here to persuade Mr. Yamashita to join the Supernatural Police Department. Mr. Yamashita may still have concerns about other things, but I can guarantee that everything will be forgiven and past mistakes will be overlooked."

"Even if I assassinated the Prime Minister?"

"It all happened three years ago. Let bygones be bygones. Those who survived should move forward."

Seeing that Yamashita Toru was still hesitant, Uchiha Senmon said decisively:

"Mr. Yamashita, I guarantee you with the name Uchiha that no one will dare to seek revenge later. Please believe in my sincerity!"

Yamashita Toru involuntarily closed his eyes.

He had to admit that the Uchiha Senmon's leadership qualities and sincere emotions had deeply moved him.

As a reincarnated being, he knew the character of the Uchiha Sage Clan well; they were completely different from the incompetent officials in the government, and their credibility was absolutely guaranteed.

"I am very grateful for the invitation from Minister Uchiha, but we have different paths and cannot work together. I already have my own place to belong, so I can only decline."

After pondering for a long time, Yamashita Toru slowly opened his eyes and said.

"Then I have no choice but to insist that Mr. Yamashita stay at the police department as a guest."

Uchiha Senmon sighed, turned his palms over, and formed a lotus seal with the five fingers of his right hand.

"Please rest assured, I am a pacifist, no one will be hurt, and it will be over soon."
