I became Hokage in Tokyo

Chapters 436 and 437: The Prophecy of the Uchiha

Jiraiya and the two toad sages on his shoulders suddenly puffed out their three mouths, then each spat out a hurricane, a stream of toad oil, and a burst of flame.

"Sage Art: Goemon!"

Seeing the surging, boiling toad oil rushing towards him, Uchiha Senmon felt a chill run down his spine and a strong sense of crisis welled up inside him.

This kind of extremely high temperature is probably even more terrifying than molten steel. If an ordinary person were to come into contact with it even slightly, not even a bone fragment would remain.

Goemon's technique is not Fire Release, but Sage Mode!

A wide-range, destructive technique combining Wind Release, Fire Release, and Sage Mode. The wind fuels the fire, turning the toad oil Jiraiya spewed into boiling oil at thousands or tens of thousands of degrees.

"Unable to defend against head-on!"

In the blink of an eye, Uchiha Senmon made a judgment, and while his body was retreating, his palms formed a hand seal.

Earth Escape·Earth Flow Wall.

The Earth Flow Wall was not created to defend against Goemon, but rather to form an earthen platform at the feet of Uchiha Senmon, lifting him into the air.

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle".

Boiling toad oil crashed against the rocks like a tide, instantly melting the edges of the earthen walls into lava, causing them to crumble and teeter on the brink of collapse.

With a swift movement of his hands, Uchiha Senmon formed a Wood Release hand seal.

A huge, ferocious wooden dragon rose from the earthen wall, carrying an unstoppable force of wind and thunder, and lunged at Jiraiya, the Toad Sage.

With his foot planted on the wooden dragon's head, Uchiha Senmon launched a fierce attack without delay.

"Bang!"

Jiraiya used both hands to support the Uchiha fan and blocked the wooden dragon's sudden attack!

"As expected, the Uchiha fan cannot deflect Wood Release!"

Uchiha Senmon was secretly delighted.

Unlike other ninjutsu, Wood Release is not an emission technique, but a physical attack that creates real trees or transforms parts of the body into trees.

However, if you switch to Lightning Release or Fire Release, it will be reflected back.

"ha!"

In Sage Mode, Jiraiya's face was contorted with bulging veins, his strength surging. He swung his Uchiha fan forcefully, severing the wooden dragon's upper jaw and head.

Even without the ability to use the Uchiha Reflection, the Uchiha Fan remains an indestructible and powerful weapon capable of both offense and defense.

Uchiha Senmon leaped up and landed lightly on the ground.

Jiraiya turned to face Uchiha Senmon, his elongated toad-like pupils fixed on the latter. Gone was his previous flippancy; he spoke with utmost seriousness:

"Immortal Sect, get out of here! You have no chance of winning. If this continues, I will kill you."

"Mr. Jiraiya, there must be times when you have to make important decisions."

Uchiha Senmon remained calm, but his crimson Sharingan eyes contained a burning determination:

"Now it's my turn to make a choice. Staying here might mean being killed by Mr. Jiraiya, but if I run away with my tail between my legs, my tragic wish will never be fulfilled, and I can't even forgive myself for that."

"Immortal Sect, you have a very keen eye."

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya's face showed a sense of loss and melancholy. He then raised his right hand, and visible air currents transformed into a storm that condensed in his palm.

Rasengan.

And this Rasengan kept expanding, growing to one meter, two meters in diameter, until it exceeded five meters!

"Please don't die, Immortal Sect."

Jiraiya unleashed a massive Rasengan that spun like a hurricane, slamming it down towards the Uchiha Senmon.

The torrents of the storm, the violent wind pressure, distort the atmosphere—this is the trump card that can decide the outcome!

"Immortal Technique·Super Large Jade Rasengan!"

will die!

Uchiha Senmon's face turned pale, and his back was instantly soaked with cold sweat. His body instinctively wanted to retreat out of fear.

However, we cannot retreat. The Uchiha Sage had seen the Toad Sage use this technique during the Asakusa Incident. Its power and scope were so great that it razed Asakusa Temple and the entire neighborhood to the ground, turning everything into dust in an instant!

Retreat means certain death, so we have no choice but to advance!

The giant Rasengan was already upon Uchiha Senmon in the blink of an eye.

"Aaaaaaah!"

In the life-or-death moment, Uchiha Senmon squeezed out all his potential, clasped his hands together, and roared hoarsely.

[Wood Release LV3] [Wood Release LV4 (max)]

"Wood Release: Wood Human Technique!"

Several giant trees burst from the ground behind the Uchiha Senmon, their roots intertwined and they grew rapidly, forming a wooden giant that was twenty or thirty meters tall in the blink of an eye!

Its size is in no way inferior to that of Susanoo.

The giant wooden figure stretched out a giant hand and caught Jiraiya's super-sized Rasengan with one hand.

"Aaaaaah!!!"

Sweating profusely, Uchiha Senmon struggled to control the Wood Golem Technique. With a flick of his arm, the giant Rasengan was pushed away by the Wood Golem's hand.

The giant Rasengan was launched a thousand meters away in one go, smashing all the buildings along the way like bowling pins, causing them to tilt, collapse, and break.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The moment the giant Rasengan exploded, the earth cracked and the ground shook violently.

The torrent of the storm utterly destroyed all obstacles, countless buildings collapsed, and cars miles away were swept into the sky as if they were made of paper.

"Wow, this power is practically like a nuclear bomb!"

"Was that giant summoned by Captain Uchiha?!"

"What's the situation on the scene?"

The helicopter pilots hovering in the distance stared in disbelief at the terrifying storm that resembled a typhoon and the devastation left in Sendai. They broke out in a cold sweat.

Then came a wave of lingering fear; if they had gotten even a little closer, they probably would have been swept in too, leaving no trace.

"This is the true power of Wood Release!"

Making another breakthrough on the battlefield where life hangs by a thread, Uchiha Senmon felt the power surging within him, and his face couldn't help but show excitement.

Wood Release had reached its pinnacle in his hands, making him feel invincible!

That way, we can win.

Not only Jiraiya, but even the mastermind behind it all...

"Quack, quack quack quack—!"

"Quack, quack quack quack—!"

Just then, a duet of croaking frogs filled the air like a demonic cacophony.

Uchiha Senmon knelt face down on the ground, his pupils unfocused, and the black tomoe in his Sharingan began to spin erratically.

"This is... an illusion?"

Glug glug, Uchiha Senmon felt as if he were underwater, even finding it difficult to breathe.

He looked up and saw four giant toad statues with the characters "不" (Bu), "动" (Dong), "明" (Ming), and "王" (Wang) carved on them in the east, west, south, and north directions. One of them held a sword, and the other had its webbed hand spread out, sealing off the four sides.

Immortal Magic - The Toad's Lament.

"Oh no! I have to break this illusion... Waaah..."

The crimson light of the Sharingan of the Uchiha Immortal Sect flickered erratically, and finally, accompanied by a stinging pain, it degenerated into an ordinary black eye.

"Even the Sharingan... the Mirror Heaven and Earth Reversal Technique... cannot break this genjutsu..."

Mr. Jiraiya, you actually know how to use such powerful illusions.

"hateful!"

Jiraiya, the Toad Sage, walked stiffly and unhurriedly to the front of Senmon Uchiha, the toads on his shoulders continuing their incessant chorus, his face filled with sorrow and anger.

"The Immortal Sect..."

Jiraiya, unable to control his own destiny, slowly raised his hand, lifted the Uchiha fan, and was about to cleave the Uchiha Sage in two with a swift stroke.

"puff."

Originally, Uchiha Senmon, who was kneeling on the ground and could only wait to die, took the initiative and plunged Raikiri into Jiraiya's chest with lightning speed.

"Bilibili".

Blue electric snakes slithered across Jiraiya's reanimated body, rendering him immobile by the power of lightning.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Jiraiya."

Uchiha Senmon looked directly into Jiraiya's eyes and spoke slowly and deliberately.

"Well done."

Jiraiya was not surprised but rather delighted, and asked with some curiosity and astonishment:

"How did you break the Magical Toad's Song Technique? Your Sharingan hasn't evolved into the Mangekyou Sharingan yet, has it?"

"It was I who broke the illusion."

With a flash of Kikyo Seal on the back of Uchiha Senmon's right hand, a dimly lit white fox floated in mid-air.

"The Toad Sage, what a terrifying illusion! With my current strength, I can only break it once."

"I see, it's like a Jinchūriki."

Jiraiya suddenly realized, then looked towards the Uchiha Sage Gate, and said with great satisfaction:

"You actually managed to defeat me, Immortal Sect, you've grown into a formidable powerhouse."

"I'm nowhere near as good as Mr. Jiraiya. If I fail this time, I'll be the one who dies."

Uchiha Senmon looked at the Toad Sage with a complicated expression and whispered.

If Wood Release hadn't been broken through in the heat of battle, if Abe no Seimei hadn't resided within his body, if he didn't have Raikiri, if Jiraiya, resurrected by the Taizan Fukun Festival, possessed his full power, if...

It was precisely because of a series of coincidences that made it impossible for the Uchiha Sage Sect to become reality that they were able to stand here.

"Haha, don't be modest. Immortal Sect, your current strength is already that of an extraordinary Shadow-level expert."

Jiraiya laughed heartily a few times, then examined the giant wooden figure behind the Uchiha Sagemon, and said in an indescribable tone:

"Wood Release? I used to think that only Itachi Uchiha had the qualities of a prophetic child, but now it seems that it might be you, who knows."

"Is it that prophecy that has been passed down in the heavens?" asked the white fox Seimei, elegantly swaying his tail.

The Child of Prophecy?

Uchiha Senmon's pupils contracted, and his gaze swept back and forth between Jiraiya and the white fox, unable to help but swallow hard.

"A child of prophecy will be born among the descendants of the Uchiha clan."

Jiraiya said in a deep voice:

"He will bring unprecedented peace to the world, or destruction. Just like the creator god Izanagi, also known as Uchiha Madara!"

"Lord Jiraiya, what exactly does this prophecy mean?"

Uchiha Senmon remained silent for a long while before asking in astonishment.

"I only know one side of the story, but the legend of the prophesied child has been passed down for thousands of years."

Jiraiya looked at Senmon Uchiha and said:

"The fear that Kage-level powerhouses and even Sages and Buddhas had of the Uchiha clan stemmed not only from your Sharingan but also from this prophecy. The Uchiha clan deeply believed in this prophecy, their warlike and fanatical nature, and their blatant ambition ultimately led to the night of their massacre..."

Uchiha Senmon opened his mouth, wanting to ask more about the secrets.

Suddenly, Bai Qingming said softly:

"Immortal Sect, time is running out. I must immediately undo the Mount Tai Lord Sacrifice for the Toad Immortal, so that he may attain Buddhahood."

"Lord Seimei, can't we stall for a while? Or restore Mr. Jiraiya's freedom and free him from control?" Senmon Uchiha said anxiously.

If Jiraiya could become an ally, they would have more confidence facing Kuro Seimei.

"The remaining power is insufficient to reclaim control."

Bai Qingming sighed and wagged his tail to indicate his helplessness.

"Let the Toad Immortal become a Buddha now. The Taishan Fujun Sacrifice can only revive him once. After the revocation, he will no longer be under the Taishan Fujun Sacrifice's control."

Uchiha Senmon's expression changed slightly. He gritted his teeth and said nothing more.

Jiraiya is already dead, and he even sacrificed himself to achieve his goal. We shouldn't disturb his eternal rest any longer. Returning to the Pure Land is the right choice.

"Dust to dust, ashes to ashes, so be it..."

As Bai Qingming released the curse, Jiraiya's dusty body began to wither away.

"Itachi Uchiha can be trusted."

He looked at the Uchiha Sage Gate and solemnly instructed them:

"I have entrusted everything I have collected to him."

Uchiha Senmon was suddenly enlightened.

Itachi Uchiha was a spy planted in the Akatsuki organization by Mr. Jiraiya.

No wonder Mr. Jiraiya was able to foresee the future and save the day several times, thwarting the Akatsuki's schemes, and he knew the secrets of the Uchiha clan's territory like the back of his hand.

It turns out that Itachi Uchiha tipped them off.

At the very least, the two of them have a cooperative relationship.

A pure white light gradually emanated from Jiraiya's dusty body. Uchiha Senmon's expression darkened, realizing that the moment of parting had finally arrived.

"By the way, isn't Mineko with you?"

Jiraiya raised his head and gazed into the distance. Although his expression could not be seen, Senmon Uchiha understood without hesitation that Mr. Jiraiya was missing his lover.

"She was a good woman. Don't end up like me, regretting it only after you're dead."

"Mr. Jiraiya, please don't worry about it."

Uchiha Senmon forced a smile, trying to appear nonchalant, and said:

"Yuki will find her own happiness, but not mine."

"Heh, pure love, huh?"

A beam of white light shot into the sky, and Jiraiya's last trace vanished into thin air.

-

Karuizawa.

Amidst the devastation of the battlefield, Mineko Yuuki clutched her right shoulder, crimson blood gushing from between her fingers.

"You bastard who wields a sickle, I'm going to burn you to ashes!"

She glanced at the unconscious Torii hero lying on the side, then glared angrily at the gray-haired, slicked-back man with a fierce expression.

"That's it. This is the expression I wanted to see. The more fearful, angry, and desperate you are, the more it will please the evil god."

Hidan's entire body had turned charcoal black, with white lines growing along his sternum and arm bones. He licked the blood dripping from his scythe.

"But I've had enough fun, go to hell!"

Hidan grinned wickedly and viciously plunged the spike into his own heart, until it pierced through his back completely!

"senior……"
