I became Hokage in Tokyo

Chapters 393 and 394: The Meeting of the Twelve Divine Generals

Chiyoda Ward, Japan, headquarters building of the Supernatural Police Department.

As the location of the world-renowned Japanese Supernatural Agency, it is naturally shrouded in a mysterious aura. To date, no media outlet has been able to conduct in-depth interviews, making it even more mysterious than the Imperial Palace and giving rise to countless urban legends.

For example, the Supernatural Police Department headquarters has countless monsters and evil spirits imprisoned underground, where they conduct secret experiments;

The headquarters building has fifteen floors, each floor belonging to one of the Twelve Divine Generals. The floors above the twelfth floor are the territory of the Uchiha clan leader.

Each floor of the headquarters building is filled with extraordinary items collected by the police department. By defeating the twelve guardian generals, one can obtain extraordinary inheritance.

And so on.

Sitting in the conference room of the headquarters building, Hideo Tosu smiled slightly as he recalled those absurd urban rumors.

Chiyoda Ward is the heart of Japan, and the headquarters of the Supernatural Police Department was located here to provide rapid support to important locations such as the Imperial Palace and the National Assembly Hall in the event of an accident.

If that's the case, why would they keep the captured monsters locked up in the headquarters building? If something goes wrong and a "Night Parade of One Hundred Demons" breaks out on the streets of Tokyo, that would be no laughing matter.

This building is the office of the Supernatural Police Department, not the den of tigers and dragons that the media imagines. The extraordinary items they obtained from the secret realm are not stored here, and extraordinary inheritances are out of the question; if they did exist, they would have been used long ago.

It's even less likely that the so-called Twelve Divine Generals would all be permanently stationed in the Tokyo headquarters building, each occupying a floor, making them seem like floor masters of a training tower.

Don't other parts of the country need superhumans to oversee things?

As long as the Uchiha clan leader is in charge, Tokyo is as solid as a rock.

From publicly available information online, it is easy to find the titles and positions held by the supernatural individuals under the Supernatural Police Department.

Hero Tosu himself is the branch manager of the central region.

The other twelve generals also serve as branch leaders in regions such as Tohoku, Shikoku, and Kyushu, and are usually scattered throughout the country.

The hero of the roost looked around.

Mineko Yuuki, Yuji Kanbara, Satomi, and other familiar faces.

Within the Supernatural Police Department, in terms of seniority, Tosu Hero is naturally the oldest.

"The fact that all the extraordinary individuals who were out in the field have been summoned to headquarters for a meeting must be because of the extraordinary incident that happened in Delna City last week."

Tosu Hero thought to himself without showing any emotion.

The resurrection of the desert god Set and the battle between Jeanne and the angels in Derna shocked the world, especially the Western world.

Although the intensity of the Angel War cannot compare to the Sapporo Extraordinary Battle, the Great Eruption of Mount Fuji, and the Asakusa Incident, it is still the most significant Extraordinary Battle in the current era of peace following the Jedi Tendō.

After being transformed into an angel, Jeanne is now an S-class superhuman, according to the assessment of the Supernatural Police Department!

Following Minister Uchiha, he is the second S-class transcendent.

And they were extraordinary beings like angels!

Jeanne, who was born in the West, has a miraculous healing ability and has been doing good deeds for many years, which has made her famous in the Western world. She is even known as a "saint" and "the incarnation of Joan of Arc".

Jeanne's angelic form in Delner immediately ignited global public opinion and caused a huge uproar overseas.

That's an angel!

Of the world's 80 billion people, more than half are followers of Abrahamic monotheism. After the advent of the extraordinary age, their faith, which had been shaken by pagan gods and demons, was reaffirmed after witnessing the miracle of "angelic descent."

In recent days, believers around the world have been holding grand masses, and countless people have flocked to religious buildings such as Notre Dame Cathedral and Hagia Sophia in Paris to repent and atone for their sins.

Some fanatics have already boarded planes to make pilgrimages outside Derna.

Unfortunately, the core area is still blocked by the five major powers, and it can only dig sand on the periphery with other small countries.

After all, this is the sacred site where God sent down a miracle to annihilate the evil god of ancient Egypt who had returned from the underworld, and perhaps the sand itself is imbued with divine power.

Even as the villainous desert god Set, he inspired the hearts of people in the Western world.

Although Egypt is located in North Africa, it is also a Mediterranean country. Ancient Egyptian civilization nurtured Greek civilization and is one of the sources of modern Western civilization.

The gods of ancient Egypt are naturally regarded as the extraordinary foundation of the Western world.

Even though there are countless immortals and Buddhas in East Asia, we in the West also have powerful supernatural beings, and even angels. This wave can be described as a triumph.

In the future, people in the Western world will be able to stand up straight when arguing with netizens from other countries.

"An angel?"

Torii Hero lowered his eyes, not wanting anyone to see the strange look in them.

"If it really is an angel, it can surely heal Mamiya."

Although he became an extraordinary being and became the branch manager of the Supernatural Police Department, holding a high position and seemingly enjoying great success, Hero Tobi has actually been unhappy these past few years.

Perhaps because he possessed bizarre and terrifying supernatural power from an evil god, allowing him to steal the hearts of others for his own use, Tosu Hideo sensed that the Japanese high command did not trust him. Furthermore, the Japanese government's failure to fulfill its promise to cure Moribe Masamichi greatly disappointed Tosu Hideo.

After witnessing the dark side of the Japanese government several times, Tosu Hideo finally made up his mind to secretly collude with the Hawk organization.

"But in this way, I feel somewhat sorry for Minister Uchiha."

Hero Tosu sighed silently.

Even now, Tosu Hideo does not regret his decision, but he still feels a sense of guilt towards the Uchiha Senmon.

"Bang."

The conference room doors were pushed open, and Uchiha Senmon, dressed in a sharp black suit, walked in unhurriedly, followed by his squinty-eyed secretary and a tall, thin, black man named Higashiyama Kaname wearing sunglasses on either side of him.

"Minister Uchiha!"

"senior!"

Everyone stood up and greeted the Uchiha Sage Sect.

With a gentle expression, Uchiha Senmon stood on the stage, his gaze sweeping calmly over the crowd below.

The black eyes seemed to possess a captivating magic, causing the hero of the roost to feel the tentacles within his body writhing uncontrollably.

Are you scared?

Tosu Hideo was secretly alarmed; in just half a year, Uchiha Department Head had become even more unfathomable.

Good afternoon, everyone.

Uchiha Senmon withdrew his gaze and nodded in satisfaction:

"This is the first time this year that all twelve divine generals have gathered together."

Although the term "Twelve Divine Generals" was coined by the media for good reason, it has been very well received in Japan, where the level of adolescent delusions is off the charts, and it has now become a semi-official collective name for the dozen or so extraordinary individuals under the Supernatural Police Department.

"Minister Uchiha, is there something so important that requires us to come to Tokyo in person? Can't we have a video conference?"

A newly promoted superhuman couldn't help but ask.

"Because this matter is of great importance, there is a risk of leaks during video conferences. Moreover, the cabinet ordered us to come to Tokyo this time."

Uchiha Senmon waved to Ichimaru's assistant.

"In short, let's sit down first."

Now that Minister Uchiha had spoken, no one dared to question him anymore, and they all took their seats.

Assistant Ichimaru carried a stack of documents and distributed them one by one to each of the Twelve Divine Generals.

"What is this? The Taishan Fujun Festival!"

Hero Tosu casually flipped through the file, and his expression immediately changed.

"Onmyoji?"

"Wow, this is how it happened...?"

The twelve divine generals couldn't help but whisper among themselves.

"Has everyone received it? Take a quick look at it first, then listen to what I have to say."

Uchiha Senmon rested his chin on the back of his hand, closed his eyes to rest for a few minutes, and then opened them, saying in a seemingly lazy manner:

"Ichimaru, play the video."

"Yes."

Ichimaru's assistant took out a USB drive, plugged it into the computer, and then operated it to project the screen onto the big screen.

The video being played was recorded on a cell phone by a Black photographer.

The live stream by the Black photographer abruptly ended when the camera was sunk into the sand. Ordinary viewers would only assume that the battle of the angels ended after Jeanne defeated Seth.

They knew nothing about the Onmyoji Shion who appeared later.

Following friendly consultations with the United States, the Frankish government generously released the second half of the video and shared it with its allies.

After the video passed through the hands of the US, it ended up in the hands of the Japanese government. Realizing the urgency of the situation, they brought about this collective meeting of the Twelve Generals.

After watching the video, everyone was speechless with astonishment.

"Just who is this woman named Shion?"

Not only can he use Yin-Yang techniques such as transforming talismans into animals and creating substitutes with peach wood puppets, but he is also the mastermind behind the resurrection of the Storm God Set.

Judging from her tone, she's using the legendary Taishan Fujun sacrifice?!

Everyone found it unbelievable.

"What is certain now is that Shion is not a modern superhuman."

Uchiha Senmon said, enunciating each word clearly:

"She may be an extraordinary being from the underworld, or an ancient extraordinary being left over from the Heian period."

"Since Shion is an Onmyoji and knows the legendary Mount Tai Fujun Festival, could she be a descendant of Abe no Seimei?" someone suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said.

The others also showed expressions of deep agreement.

"That remains to be seen."

Uchiha Senmon shook his head and chuckled:

"However, according to records from the Heian period, Abe no Seimei had no daughter. The name Shion is also absent from historical records, so there is reason to suspect that it was just an alias."

The twelve generals whispered amongst themselves.

Ziyuan's ability to casually annihilate an entire squadron of armed helicopters is no less than that of an S-class extraordinary being, and judging from her effortless handling of the situation, it is probably just the tip of the iceberg.

Moreover, even the legendary Taishan Fujun Festival, which is said to be able to bring the dead back to life, has appeared.

No wonder the higher-ups were in such a hurry to summon everyone to Tokyo.

"Quiet, quiet."

Uchiha Senmon tapped the table with his index finger. Although the sound wasn't loud, it quickly silenced the commotion in the conference room.

"Everyone, the three-year period that Toad Sage Jiraiya mentioned has already come to an end."

Uchiha Senmon remained calm, but his words resonated like thunder, exploding in everyone's ears:

"Although the intentions of Onmyoji Shion are currently unclear and it is difficult to distinguish friend from foe, we cannot rule out the possibility that she is a being with the same malice towards humanity as the Akatsuki organization."

Aster wiped out an entire squadron of US helicopters without batting an eye and even resurrected a ferocious god like Seth. It's hard to say she harbors any goodwill towards humanity.

"Everyone should have noticed what Shion said to Jeanne before she left, right?"

Uchiha Senmon's gaze was deep, and his voice was steady.

"Did she invite Jeanne to Japan?"

Mineko Yuki tentatively said.

Uchiha Senmon nodded.

"Although we don't know exactly what Shion wants to do, her next target is undoubtedly Japan. And it's even involved in the legendary Taishan Fujun Festival..."

Uchiha Senmon's eyes swept over the other twelve generals one by one, his gaze filled with unimaginable majesty.

"Japan will undoubtedly be the eye of the storm, which is why you have been summoned from all over the country."

For a moment, the twelve divine generals displayed different expressions.

"The task assigned to the Supernatural Police Department by the Prime Minister's Office is to keep a close watch on this mysterious Onmyoji who is causing trouble in Japan. We must find Shion's whereabouts in Japan as soon as possible."

There was a second half to the sentence, which Uchiha Senmon didn't say aloud.

The cabinet also demanded that every effort be made to extract the Yin-Yang techniques of the Taishan Fujun Festival from Shion as soon as possible, whether by force or negotiation.

There is great terror between life and death. Even if there is only a sliver of a possibility, people will spare no effort to fight for the hope of being resurrected and living forever, let alone the Taishan Fujun Festival, which has already been proven to exist.

"Note that we are not going to directly confront Shion."

Uchiha Sage Path:

"However, to prevent the worst-case scenario, we should prepare in advance. In addition to strengthening the team combat capabilities among the Twelve Divine Generals, I will be in charge of special training for everyone."

The cabinet estimates that only if the twelve generals unite as one and attack together will they have a greater chance of defeating a Shadow-level expert.

Therefore, by gathering the twelve divine generals together, and using their strengths wisely, the Supernatural Police Department should be put to good use at this time.

This coincided with the plans of the Uchiha Sage.

Whether it's seizing the method of the Mount Tai Lord's Sacrifice or using the Sharingan to hypnotize the other twelve divine generals and turn them into his puppets, he can achieve both at the same time.

Therefore, he used his power as minister to make this happen.

"But can we really stand up to her?" someone asked uncertainly.

After all, Shion is suspected to be a Kage-level powerhouse.

Although they had never directly fought against a Kage-level powerhouse, the records of their immense power—capable of turning the world upside down with a flick of their wrist—still made everyone feel uneasy.

Even Uchiha, who is hailed as the most extraordinary person on Earth, is far from being a Kage-level powerhouse.

Just then, an overwhelmingly powerful aura swept out from Uchiha Senmon, causing the twelve generals to tremble with fear and almost prostrate themselves on the ground.

this!?

Everyone's expression changed drastically.

"Don't be afraid."

Uchiha Senmon extended a hand, his words brimming with intense confidence:

"No matter what happens, as long as you're with me, we'll be invincible."
