I became Hokage in Tokyo

Chapter 40-041 WTO

Beneath a clear, azure sky, the land ravaged by gunfire is riddled with craters, from which gray-white smoke billows and rises into the sky. If a white dove, a symbol of peace, were to fly by at this moment, it would perhaps create a very evocative scene.

Unfortunately, what flew in was not a pure white dove, but a black deathbird.

A crow with reddish pupils, seemingly unafraid of the smell of gunfire, landed on the land, hopped back and forth for a while, and finally flapped its wings and flew into the sky.

Meanwhile, far away in Bunkyo Ward, Tokyo, Uchiha Naruto lowered his arm that was covering his eyes, revealing a pair of deep, dark eyes.

Recalling the devastating artillery barrage that leveled the entire hill in an instant, Uchiha Naruto's expression grew serious.

This destructive power has already surpassed his strongest attack method, the Great Fireball Technique.

The destructive power of modern military technology is no less than that of the powerful ninjutsu in Naruto, and if we disregard the last few gods who can rewrite maps with a mere gesture, it may even surpass them.

However, the hypothetical enemy of modern human military forces has never been an individual with great power, and Uchiha Naruto would certainly not be foolish enough to fight a well-prepared regular army head-on.

"The biggest advantage is that the authorities are in the open while I am in the dark. As long as the authorities don't discover that all the superhumans are my aliases, I have the space to maneuver and even stir up trouble behind the scenes... Bah! I mean, to take charge of the overall situation."

The ninjas in Naruto are highly skilled, agile, and extremely mobile. They can launch a surprise attack from the shadows, killing their opponents with a single blow, and then quickly retreat and blend into the crowd or disappear into the city. Even the Japanese authorities can't do anything about them.

No matter how ruthless the Self-Defense Forces may be, they cannot possibly launch a barrage of artillery fire in an international metropolis like Tokyo. The Metropolitan Police Department can only dispatch Special Assault Teams (SATs) for encirclement and suppression at most.

However, it wouldn't be difficult for Naruto Uchiha, with his Transformation Technique and Bird Clone Technique, to escape the encirclement.

Such repeated guerrilla warfare, employing decapitation tactics, could severely disrupt the social order of a country, causing violent social unrest. If things were to become even more ruthless…

"Level 2 Fire Release can only use C-rank ninjutsu, which cannot compare to a barrage of artillery fire in terms of scale and destructive power. However, if you upgrade to Level 3, you can use B-rank or even A-rank ninjutsu, and the power will be incomparable."

Naruto Uchiha was very confident in the destructive power of the Naruto power system, but the only drawback was that the ninjas were a bit fragile, had low health, and average defense.

Although Uchiha Naruto is not particularly afraid of light weapons like pistols now, he can only rely on his agility to dodge or slash first. If he is hit by a pistol, even a police pistol like the Nambu M60 at close range, he will bleed, not to mention machine gun bullets or sniper rifles.

It's simply impossible for a movie protagonist to be shot multiple times yet still move nimbly, jump around, and fight his pursuers for hundreds of rounds.

Given Naruto Uchiha's current physical condition, being hit by a large-caliber rifle bullet might render him incapacitated.

"I really want Hidan's immortality! The powerful vitality of the Senju and Uzumaki clans, and their medical ninjutsu that can even heal someone cut in half at the waist. And Orochimaru too. Although Orochimaru's strength is average, his ability to survive is among the best in the Kage level. It's just that Orochimaru's techniques involve body modification, and I don't want to end up like him, neither human nor ghost."

Just in case, we should get our hands on this life-saving ninjutsu as soon as possible. Since the monsters in this world have abilities similar to those in Naruto, they are very likely to have the aforementioned abilities as well. If we can get our hands on them, we can eliminate any worries he might have.

Unfortunately, Naruto Uchiha did not have any ninjutsu to search for demons, nor was he a sensory ninja, so he could not find demons to attack.

It would be great if this system had the function of automatically searching for and engaging enemies, or issuing missions and proactively providing targets for the user to solve.

Unfortunately, none of them are available. The system currently only has two functions: the training ground and the item shop. He needs to advance to the Jonin level before he can unlock the next icon, but the next icon obviously does not have the functions of automatically searching for enemies and issuing missions.

School ended at 3 p.m. After leaving the classroom, Uchiha Naruto did not head to Takasaki Izakaya, but instead took his backpack and went to the school library.

The school library after school was much busier, but it remained quiet and peaceful. The rustling of pens and the turning of pages created an inspiring atmosphere.

It's a bit embarrassing to admit, but for the past week, Uchiha Naruto hasn't fulfilled his duties as a student. Instead, he's been secretly exorcising demons and playing tricks like a high school boy with superpowers in a manga.

You should know that there will be another monthly test around April 28th. If he does poorly on the test and his grades drop significantly, he will lose face.

He couldn't just copy the class monitor's exam paper like Sasuke did during the Chunin Exams, with his crimson Sharingan eyes wide open.

It doesn't seem like it's impossible, does it?

After all, he now possesses the ability to clone himself to birds, allowing him to share vision with crows. If a crow is perched near the window, all the other students' exam papers will be clearly visible.

Stop, stop! You can't have such wicked thoughts.

Naruto Uchiha didn't come to study just for the sake of improving his deviation score.

Setting aside his distracting thoughts and calming his mind, Uchiha Naruto took out his textbooks, pen, and paper and began to study seriously.

After studying in the library for more than an hour, Uchiha Naruto got up and headed to Takasaki Izakaya, arriving around 5 p.m.

"Hello, Uchiha-kun, I'm sorry to trouble you again today. Dinner is ready, please come and eat."

"Thank you for the bento. It tastes great. I've washed it clean." Uchiha Naruto returned the cleaned bento box to Takasaki Tsuki.

"If Uchiha-kun doesn't mind, please have our Takasaki Izakaya serve your lunchboxes from now on."

In other words, in addition to the regular evening staff meals, his lunch was also covered.

"I can't accept this."

Takasaki Tsuki bowed ninety degrees and said sincerely, "Now is the time to rely on Uchiha-kun, so please don't refuse."

The Japanese are so polite, bowing all the time. Uchiha Naruto isn't one to fuss over small talk; it's just a bento box, no need for any refusing or hesitation, so he agreed.

At worst, I can just work harder in my future part-time jobs as a way of repaying them.

The staff dinner that evening was also a typical family-style meal, without any fancy dishes, but thanks to Takasaki Tsuki's skillful cooking, it was quite delicious. Uchiha Naruto ate five bowls without any hesitation.

Takasaki An, who was witnessing Uchiha Naruto's terrifying appetite for the first time, was somewhat dumbfounded.

After dinner, we began to make preparations for the opening.

After Uchiha Naruto changed into his staff uniform and came down from the second floor, he saw the Takasaki sisters wearing wide-sleeved, coarse blue kimonos with white aprons printed with the shop's name on them, and snow-white headscarves on their heads. With their youthful faces, they looked just like the izakaya's signboard girls.
