I became Hokage in Tokyo

Chapter 372 Chapter 373 Uchiha Madara

Inside the dark secret passage, a pair of scarlet eyes were lit, and the face of Uchiha Senmon flickered in the firelight. His expression was solemn as he used his Sharingan to decipher the divine script on the mural.

"An ultimate illusion technique capable of turning anything detrimental to oneself into illusion and anything beneficial into reality, freely switching between illusion and reality!"

The Izanagi technique can rewrite reality, and even bring the dead back to life. No wonder it dares to call itself the "technique that determines fate".

He was brought back to life!

Uchiha Senmon's breath hitched for a moment, then his heart pounded violently, and the look of shock on his face turned into ecstasy, the hope in his eyes almost solidifying.

However, as the Sharingan of the Uchiha Sage Gate was deciphered, the burning light in his eyes immediately dimmed.

"The Izanagi Technique can only rewrite reality for a short period after the hand seals are activated. It's simply impossible to revive Mikoto, who died ten years ago..."

Uchiha Senmon felt a deep sense of loss. He took a deep breath and it took him a while to calm himself down before continuing to read.

The duration of Izanagi's technique varies from person to person. The three-tomoe Sharingan can maintain invincibility for several minutes or more, but it will not exceed ten minutes. Even if one dies, one can evade it and be resurrected.

The Uchiha Sage was amazed, and at the same time, he keenly recognized the essence of the Izanagi technique.

Like other eye techniques recorded at Nanga Shrine, this is also an illusion.

However, while other eye techniques affect the mental level, Izanagi alone can influence the physical world and rewrite reality.

"It's not a resurrection coin, it's more like a save point...."

Uchiha Senmon's eyes gleamed with an unusual light as he muttered to himself.

Izanagi's resurrection was not a true resurrection, but rather the nullification of death.

As expected, the only way to revive Mikoto is to continue searching for the legendary Mount Tai Lord Festival...

"What?! The Sharingan that has used the Izanagi technique will forever lose its sight?!"

Uchiha Senmon couldn't help but frown, his expression shifting between light and shadow, before finally revealing a look of relief mixed with regret.

Such a terrifying eye technique, if it could be abused without restriction, would be practically invincible.

"An Uchiha can only use Izanagi twice at most before going blind. No wonder it's listed as a forbidden technique."

In several murals, Uchiha Senmon paces back and forth, his face etched with lingering confusion.

"This eye technique is indeed very powerful; it can be called the ultimate illusion technique. But why is it called Izanagi? Izanagi is the father god of the Japanese gods and the creator god of the land, not some god of dreams or illusions..."

In mythology, the land of Japan was originally just a fragment floating in the vast ocean. Izanagi and Izanami descended from Takamagahara to create the land of Japan.

The two gods plunged the Heavenly Spear into the sea and stirred the water. Then they lifted the Heavenly Spear, and the water dripping from the tip of the spear condensed into the first island, Onokiru Island.

Izanagi and Izanami descended to the island and created twelve islands, including Shikoku, Kyushu, and Honshu, which together formed the territory of Japan.

Then, thirty-three more deities were produced, giving rise to the entire Japanese pantheon.

Izanagi, as the origin of Japanese mythology, undoubtedly holds a high position, but why this eye technique is named after the father of the gods remains a mystery to the Uchiha clan.

Since the situation was a complete mess with no clear beginning, the Uchiha clan could only temporarily set aside their doubts and avoid creating unnecessary trouble for themselves.

"Mao, Hai, Wei."

Although the Izanagi technique has very dangerous side effects, it is also a dojutsu that can bring people back from the brink of death. Just in case, Uchiha Senmon still memorized the three hand seals.

Unbeknownst to them, the Uchiha Sage Gate had descended to the bottom of the secret passage's stone steps, where an entrance appeared ahead.

Uchiha Senmon's expression tightened. He held his breath and slowly approached. In his perception mode, he did not detect any signs of life or ominous aura ahead.

However, we cannot be careless. There is a hidden world beneath the Nanga Shrine. Besides the eye techniques passed down by the Uchiha clan, there must be some other secrets.

Uchiha Senmon composed himself and went out as if facing a formidable enemy.

At the end of the secret passage was a dark and deep underground space, so dark that you could hardly see your hand in front of your face.

Uchiha Senmon held the fireball in his hand and walked a distance in the underground space. Nothing unusual happened during this time; only the sound of his own footsteps and breathing could be clearly heard.

Judging from the echoes of the footsteps, the area was quite large.

"That would be too inefficient."

Uchiha Senmon glanced at the small fireball in his hand. His journey here had been smooth sailing, which had emboldened him somewhat.

After a moment's thought, Uchiha Senmon extinguished the fireball in his hand, clasped his hands together, and spat it upwards towards the cave ceiling:

"Great Fireball Technique".

A giant fireball floated in mid-air, illuminating the dark underground space as if it were daytime.

Uchiha Senmon lowered his head and turned to look.

He saw a colossal, ferocious beast's head staring menacingly at him.

"Um!!"

Uchiha Senmon's expression changed drastically, his hair stood on end, and he took half a step back, forming hand seals, almost unleashing his Wood Release.

However, the terrifying monster, which was eager to devour people, did not attack him.

Uchiha Senmon looked closely and saw an astonishingly large mural engraved on the wall at the end of the cave, depicting a giant beast that was over tens of meters long.

"Nine-Tails?!"

Uchiha Senmon stared in disbelief as the three tomoe in his eyes swirled.

"But why are you wearing armor?"

The murals have an ancient style, full of historical weight and vicissitudes.

The nine tails bared their teeth and claws, displaying extreme ferocity. Their nine tails resembled pillars supporting the sky, churning up rivers and seas, causing the heavens and earth to change color.

Lifelike and breathtaking.

However, the Nine-Tails was covered in thick, scale-like armor. If it weren't for the nine tails behind it, the Uchiha Sage might not have been able to recognize the ferocious beast in the painting as the Nine-Tailed Fox.

"Hmm, Kurama's armor looks a lot like the Susanoo that was summoned in Asakusa..."

Uchiha Senmon's gaze, filled with suspicion and uncertainty, swept back and forth across the Nine-Tails depicted in the mural. Just then, he made a new discovery.

Above the nine-tailed fox clad in armor stood a tall, long-haired man.

Even though Uchiha Senmon tried his best to observe with his Sharingan, the man's face on the rock wall remained blurry, whether due to weathering or deliberate lack of clarity.

All that could be seen was him holding a huge scythe-shaped weapon in one hand and a strangely shaped giant fan in the other, standing proudly on the head of the nine-tailed fox in the posture of its master.

"This fan is the Uchiha fan that Tobi used at Senso-ji Temple."

Uchiha Senmon narrowed his eyes.

Since the mural is carved in the underground secret chamber of the Nanga Shrine and the person is holding an Uchiha fan, the identity of this mysterious person is obvious: he must be a member of the Uchiha clan.

Moreover, this man's identity is definitely extraordinary; he is probably an ancestor of the Uchiha clan, a restorer of the clan, or some other great figure.

"The Uchiha clan did indeed obtain the power of the Nine-Tailed Fox."

Whether it's the nine-tailed fox statue standing outside the Naga Shrine or the murals in the secret chamber, it clearly indicates that the Uchiha clan once tamed the nine-tailed fox and made it their own.

"However, the Uchiha clan later lost the Nine-Tailed Fox."

Tamamo-no-Mae was the last Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, while Kaguya-hime was the previous one. At least by the middle of the Heian period, when Kaguya-hime and Abe no Seimei lived, the Nine-Tails was no longer in the hands of the Uchiha clan.

The nine-tailed fox demon is conservatively estimated to be a powerful demon on par with the Taishan Lord, who is at the super-shadow level.

And how powerful must the man who can wield it be? It's unimaginable!

In the age of gods, they would undoubtedly be giants who would shake the world.

Uchiha Senmon gazed at the mural from afar, and suddenly, his brow furrowed.

Judging from the composition of the mural, this great figure of the Uchiha clan is controlling the Nine-Tails and fighting against someone, while the other half of the mural is buried in darkness.

"Who are the Uchiha clan members and the Nine-Tails fighting?"

Uchiha Senmon pointed at the Fireball in the air, and the Fireball drifted dozens of meters to the right, shining brightly.

Uchiha Senmon's eyes narrowed, and his expression immediately changed.

The rock face had been ruthlessly flattened and erased, and the other half of the mural had been completely destroyed!

"Who destroyed the other half of the mural?"

Uchiha Senmon frowned, deep in thought.

"Is it to conceal the enemy's true identity?"

It's truly terrifying to think about.

The Nine-Tailed Fox and the Uchiha who can tame the Nine-Tailed Fox are both at least Kage-level supreme powerhouses. What kind of beings could possibly contend with the two of them working together?

Beneath the Nanga Shrine lies an astonishing secret; if this incomplete half of the mural were revealed to the world, it would surely shock the entire world.

The information contained therein could support countless experts and scholars, leading to the writing of millions of words of papers.

"Below the mural, there is also a stone tablet."

The Uchiha sect was initially captivated by the murals depicting the Nine-Tailed Fox and the mysterious Uchiha, and remained in shock for a while before noticing a small stone tablet below.

The stele is also engraved with the same ancient script that appeared in the secret passage before.

Uchiha Senmon walked over, his three tomoe spinning, about to decipher their mysteries.

Suddenly, Uchiha Senmon felt a sharp pain in his right eye, and tears of blood welled up in his eyes.

The black three-tomoe in his right eye spun and connected towards the pupil, transforming into a spinning black triangular windmill!

"boom!"

Black flames flickered and covered the Uchiha clan's stone tablet.

"Waaah..."

Uchiha Senmon groaned and covered his right eye.

Then Uchiha Senmon felt a tickle in his throat, opened his mouth to its limit, and a crow flew out of his mouth, landed on the ground, and transformed into a young man wearing a pure black robe.

He had his back to the Uchiha Sage Gate, and the Uchiha clan crest was on his back.

"It's you, Uchiha Itachi."

Uchiha Senmon wiped his mouth and said, word by word.

The uninvited guest turned around, his handsome face utterly indifferent, his scarlet eyes swirling like triangular windmills.

It really was Uchiha Itachi.

And the Mangekyou Sharingan!

"That crow was a 'gift' you put into my body three years ago. Have you been hiding inside me ever since?" asked Uchiha Senmon.

Uchiha Senmon appeared indifferent, but his tone subtly carried a hint of anger.

No normal person would be happy to have something inexplicable hidden inside their body, let alone whether the crow has any surveillance capabilities.

"Don't worry, I have no interest in snooping on your privacy."

Uchiha Itachi remained expressionless and said:

"The insurance I placed on you can only be activated under specific conditions. I will only appear when you arrive at the Nanga Shrine."

Was Itachi Uchiha also there for the Nanka Shrine?

"He pointed out the location of the Nanga Shrine to me earlier because he wanted to use me to find it..."

Uchiha Senmon remained silent, lost in thought.

Then, following Itachi's gaze, they looked at the stone tablet being engulfed by black flames.

"The black flames emanating from my eyes... are the transcription seal."

The Uchiha Immortal Sect had seen the Uchiha clan's eye technique on the wall of the secret passage.

It allows one to make eye contact with a target through the Sharingan and seal the jutsu into the target's eyes without them noticing. When the set conditions are met, the jutsu will be forcibly activated.

"Is Itachi Uchiha's goal to destroy this stone tablet?"

During the Battle of Sapporo, the black flames that could burn anything and melt gold and stone could not harm the stone monument.

Even though it burned like a maggot clinging to a bone, the stone tablet showed no signs of melting.

"Even my Amaterasu couldn't burn it, so it's definitely the real deal." A hint of surprise appeared in Itachi Uchiha's eyes.

Amaterasu!

The original name of the black flame was Amaterasu.

Uchiha Senmon's heart sank.

Even the Toad Sage is deeply wary of black flames.

Amaterasu is likely a dojutsu of the Uchiha clan, but the Uchiha Sage Sect had not found any related records on the walls of the secret passage before.

Susanoo.

Amaterasu.

Izanagi.

The Uchiha clan's eye techniques all originated from Japanese mythology, and the reasons behind this are truly intriguing.

Does this suggest that the Uchiha clan has an extraordinary connection with the Japanese pantheon?

Uchiha Senmon's eyes flickered.

"Times change, and the Uchiha clan is on the verge of extinction."

Uchiha Itachi took a few steps back, raised his head, and looked at the half-mural at the end of the secret room, focusing his gaze on the long-haired man standing on the head of the Nine-Tails.

His icy, aloof face softened with a hint of emotion and sigh.

"Who is this man who controls the Nine-Tails?"

Uchiha Senmon seized the opportunity to ask.

"He is the progenitor of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Madara."

"Uchiha Madara..."

Uchiha Senmon frowned and shook his head.

Unheard of.

"You should have witnessed that forbidden technique created by Madara Uchiha in the secret passage before."

The Uchiha Immortal Sect was struck dumb, their faces showing disbelief.

No way?

"You might be unfamiliar with the name Uchiha Madara, but you've definitely heard of his other name in the Kojiki."

Uchiha Itachi's tone was normal, yet it exploded like a thunderclap:
