I became Hokage in Tokyo

Chapters 441 and 442: Ming Shen Gate

Above the Kobe Bridge, a silver moon hangs high in the deep, bluish-black night, while the tides of Osaka Bay rise and fall.

"I hope the Uchiha clan leader and the others are alright..."

Surrounded by a group of fully armed soldiers, Dr. Satomi gazed with a worried expression at Rashomon, which stood amidst the ruins of Kobe City, more than ten kilometers away.

The deceased who guards Rashomon in Kobe City is none other than the Hourai Shrine Maiden.

She was simply too powerful. Whether it was tanks, fighter jets, or missiles, as long as they came within a ten-kilometer radius, they would be shot down one by one by her arrows and wiped out without any chance of survival.

Moreover, heavy artillery bombardment may not be effective. An entire squadron of US F-15 fighter jets was wiped out at Sakurajima, and Yokota Air Base is now furious.

Dr. Satomi and the other twelve generals who were trying to conquer Rashomon in Kobe didn't dare to get any closer and could only stare helplessly.

To make matters worse, after Uchiha and his entourage broke through Rashomon, they were trapped inside and have not been heard from since.

The cabinet is now in a panic, as anxious as ants on a hot pan.

"Department Head Uchiha is truly too strong, able to defeat the Toad Sage single-handedly. And Mr. Tosu and Ms. Yuki, they actually managed to team up and take down a Kage-level ninja from Akatsuki." Dr. Satomi muttered to himself with a complex expression.

Although they are all members of the Twelve Divine Generals, the difference between them is too great. Tori and Yuki are the right-hand men of the Uchiha clan leader, while the other Twelve Divine Generals, including himself, are just there to make up the numbers and are not of great use.

Well, Kanbara doesn't count.

Just then, the barrier covering Rashomon flickered on and off for a moment before disappearing like a bubble.

"What?! The Hourai Priestess ascended to heaven as a beam of light?! Say that again!"

The lookout's urgent report left Dr. Satomi parched and filled with apprehension.

"boom."

Suddenly, the Rashomon gate, engraved with fierce and evil spirits, shook and opened a narrow passage.

"It looks like something flew out from under the door."

Dr. Satomi immediately picked up his binoculars and took a look, and was immediately shocked.

Those tiny black dots, almost indistinguishable, were actually the missing Uchiha clan leader, the Twelve Divine Generals, and the Hawk's extraordinary individuals!

"Everyone be careful, don't fall!"

The iron sand wings behind Yamashita Tetsu hummed, veins bulged on his face, and he was drenched in sweat as he desperately manipulated the dark clouds formed by iron sand beneath their feet, rushing out of Rashomon and speeding through the sky.

Suddenly, several enormous purple dragon heads swiftly emerged from behind Rashomon, their blood-red snake eyes filled with a ferocious, predatory urge to devour people.

They opened their gaping maws, wide enough to swallow a humpback whale whole, and lunged at the people in the sky.

"The Morning Peacock!"

With a sharp cry, a white streak of light shot down, unleashing a punch that sent countless crimson meteors streaking across the night sky, temporarily forcing these terrifying giant dragons and serpents back.

They gained a precious respite, buying time for Yamashita Tetsu to use his Sand Control Technique to safely transport everyone to the ground.

"roar--!"

"roar--!"

From the underworld beyond Rashomon, a series of piercing cries, sounds that could never exist in the human world, echoed.

The Self-Defense Forces and the Supernatural Police Department deployed around Kobe City suddenly saw stars and their minds went blank.

One after another, enormous dragon and snake heads emerged from Rashomon, vying for attention.

Countless scarlet eyes flickered uncertainly in the darkness, like planets bringing disaster.

Then, its massive, mountain-like body burst Rashomon apart!

Anyone in Kobe who looked up and saw this scene felt their bodies tremble and their souls and wills almost be extinguished.

"My God, what kind of monster is this?"

"That dragon-serpent with so many heads... it's Yamata no Orochi!"

Its eerie yet sacred aura, its overwhelming demonic power, and its enormous, multi-headed serpent made it seem like a divine beast descended from the age of mythology.

"Hehehehehe! Where do you think you're going to run off to?"

Ashiya Dōman's lower body gradually merged with the body of the Yamata no Orochi, and it was lifted into the air a hundred meters above the ground.

Her long, black and white hair cascaded over her stunningly beautiful face, making her both breathtakingly gorgeous and terrifying, with dark purple bells tinkling at the ends.

Uchiha Senmon raised his head, his eyes showing fear and solemnity.

Ashiya Dōman's summoned Yamata no Orochi churned in the lava, and even the aftershocks destroyed the corridor, leaving them nowhere to stand.

With the home advantage, Ashiya Dōman and Orochi were incredibly fierce, forcing Uchiha Senmon and the others to temporarily avoid their attacks. Hakujō Seimei opened the last Rashomon passage in the opposite direction, allowing everyone to evacuate.

Ashiya Dōman, his murderous intent and bestial nature stirred up, naturally gave chase.

"Yuki, Tosu, you need to retreat immediately!"

Uchiha Senmon frowned and waved his hand.

"But, senior..."

Before the worried Mineko Yuuki could finish speaking, she was abruptly interrupted by Senmon Uchiha:

"The threshold for the next battle is Kage-level; your efforts here are futile. This is an order!"

"That's right, we'll only get in the way."

Yamashita Toru, his face deathly pale, glanced at the Yamata no Orochi, then quickly looked away with lingering fear.

Mineko Yuki nodded sadly, then quickly left the battlefield with Hideo Tosu and Tetsu Yamashita.

"Hehehehehe!"

Ashiya Michiman completely ignored the desertion of the group, treating them like mere weeds or dust. He grinned, revealing his bright red, juicy mouth, and said in a sinister tone:

"As an appetizer before enjoying the Taishan Fujun feast, don't spoil my fun!"

The roaring purple dragon head, with its hundred-meter-long neck like an intertwined snake, breathed out violent winds and thunder, viciously swallowing Uchiha Senmon, white-clad Sasuke, and Jeanne in the sky.

Wood Release: Wood Human Technique!

Purple Susanoo!

Strange power!

The three of them displayed their unique abilities and fought against the heads of the Yamata no Orochi.

"It can even bite through Susanoo's absolute defense!"

The Susanoo, as large as a mountain, also possesses earth-shattering power, but even the strongest fists cannot defeat four hands, and besides, the Yamata no Orochi has more than four heads.

The Yamata no Orochi fought against three opponents with ease, outnumbering eight to one.

Two snakes wrapped their necks around the purple giant's arms, and one of the giant heads of the Yamata no Orochi suddenly bit into Susanoo's shoulder, tearing off pieces.

"snort."

Sasuke in white snorted coldly, and with a blink of his eyes, his original three-tomoe Sharingan transformed into a six-pointed Mangekyou Sharingan.

The pitch-black flames, spreading like wildfire, burned atop the three purple dragon heads.

"Amaterasu!"

Uchiha Senmon, using the Wood Release: Wood Release technique, grabbed one of Orochi's heads, his eyes narrowing:

"As expected, he is Itachi Uchiha's younger brother."

The three dragon heads, engulfed in black flames, let out a mournful roar, and in the next instant, large sections of their black-flame-covered shells fell off like a landslide.

molt?

Uchiha Senmon thought to himself, "This is bad."

He turned his head and looked at Sasuke in white.

Sasuke Uchiha was breathing heavily, his left eye was almost closed, and a tear of blood rolled down his cheek.

Even just the head of the Yamata no Orochi is enormous. To burn all its heads to ashes with Amaterasu in one go would place an astonishing burden on the Mangekyou Sharingan.

"Hehehe, Susanoo and Wood Release are nothing special."

Ashiya Doman withdrew all the dragon and snake heads that were currently engaged in battle with Uchiha Senmon and Jeanne.

"I'm bored with this already, go to hell!"

Terrifying purple breaths erupted from all the snakes' mouths, instantly condensing into a dark purple sphere nearly fifty meters in diameter.

This moment displayed pure destructive power and an aura of world-destroying might, causing the Uchiha Senmon to turn pale.

"Aaaaaaah!"

The Uchiha Sage Gate fully catalyzed the growth of the wooden puppet, causing it to grow to a height similar to that of the giant purple jade. Suddenly, the wooden puppet opened its arms, its chest blocking the rolling purple light bullet.

Gritting his teeth, sweat pouring down his forehead, Uchiha Senmon hurled the wooden dummy toward Osaka Bay.

A giant purple jade flew from the land across the ocean and landed on an artificial island called Rokko Island, several miles away.

"Boom!!!"

A deafening roar shook the heavens and the earth, the ocean venting its fury, waves crashing hundreds of meters into the sky, transforming into a torrential downpour.

In the midst of the tsunami and landslide, the artificial island, covering tens of thousands of square meters, sank into the ocean and ceased to exist.

"..."

"..."

Meanwhile, in central government agencies and key departments around the world, hissing sounds of people gasping for air rose and fell.

The sight of the island sinking in satellite images was nothing short of awe-inspiring; it left me petrified, feeling as if my brain had been instantly formatted and wiped clean.

After the big news about the Tengen Games broke in Japan, countless satellites changed their orbits to closely monitor the five cities of Sakurajima, Sendai, Karuizawa, and others.

Today, Kobe's Rashomon-like situation remains largely intact, and naturally, more observation satellites have been deployed to Kobe's space orbit.

The reappearance of Yamata no Orochi was already a huge uproar.

However, this is not the first time that the "Yamata no Orochi" has appeared in Japan. A seven-headed giant serpent also appeared in Sapporo and ravaged half of the city.

The Yamata no Orochi that appeared in Kobe City had an extra head and its body was several times larger. Even if it was strong, it shouldn't be beyond imagination.

However, the purple Yamata no Orochi destroyed a sizable artificial island with a single strike...

It wasn't just destruction, but the island was scuttled directly into Osaka Bay.

The two Yamata no Orochi are worlds apart in terms of destructive power.

"Is this the fully evolved Yamata no Orochi? No wonder it's a mythical beast capable of destroying a country."

"The power of the purple energy blast is probably no less than that of a nuclear warhead with a yield of one megaton!"

"It's simply unbelievable that Japan has survived to this day."

The immense divine power of the Yamata no Orochi would be enough to destroy some medium-sized countries even in modern times, let alone in ancient times.

Some political leaders in major countries were secretly calculating that if such a monster appeared on their territory, there was no better way than to wipe it out with nuclear weapons immediately.

"Is Japan truly facing national annihilation this time?"

Uchiha Senmon's head was facing the sea, his face filled with unconcealed shock.

I never expected Ashiya Dōman to be so powerful.

Even with the combined strength of these three powerful individuals, who possessed Kage-level combat abilities, they were still at a disadvantage.

If the Wood Release: Wood Release technique hadn't been used to deflect the purple light orb, the Uchiha Senmon and the others would probably all have been reduced to ashes by now.

Even with all its might, the wooden puppet technique couldn't stop it; it could only barely change its trajectory.

Orochi's power far surpasses that of a Kage-level shikigami, and may even approach that of a Super Kage-level shikigami.

No wonder Ashiya Dōman was so confident and dared to set his sights on Taizan Fukun.

If such power existed, the seemingly impossible plan of hunting down the Lord of Mount Tai and using him as a shikigami might actually be achievable!

"What should we do?"

Uchiha Senmon's eyes flashed.

Even if they join forces and fight with their backs against the wall, their chances of winning are less than 30%.

"To think that he could refine the Eight-Headed Serpent Technique to such an extent, the power of that attack is comparable to the Tailed Beast Ball."

The white fox Seimei gracefully swayed his long tail, the silver light shimmering with a subtle, alluring charm.

"The Lord of Mount Tai, who is in a deep sleep due to severe injuries, could very well be subdued as a shikigami by this wicked disciple."

The Uchiha Immortal Sect had a sudden inspiration; judging from Lord Seimei's tone, there seemed to be a chance for a turnaround.

"Lord Seimei, you have a way, don't you?"

"Yes. Although this wicked disciple claims to have devoured my power and soul, I am the true master, and I can sense that this is a lie."

The white fox Seimei raised his fox head, glanced at the eight-headed serpent from afar, and whispered:

"Half of my power and soul has not yet been digested by the wicked disciple, but has been sealed in that bell."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Senmon narrowed his eyes, his eyes flashing with tomoe as he peered at Ashiya Doman's head from afar.

It is extremely so.

No matter when or where, no matter how much her body, temperament, and words change, that little bell always hangs on Ashiya Dōman's hair.

"If the bell is destroyed, I will be able to take the opportunity to regain some of my power."

White Fox Seimei said:

"In this way, I can temporarily stand on equal footing with my wicked disciple and suppress the power of the Yamata no Orochi."

The key to the next battle will be the fight for the bell worn by Ashiya Dōman.

Uchiha Senmon and the white-robed Sasuke exchanged a glance, then he lowered his voice and said to the others:

"I'll find a way to suppress Orochi. Sasuke, you'll take the lead in the attack, while Ranna will feign an attack. The two of you will wait for an opportunity to strike and destroy Ashiya Dōman's bell."

Sasuke, dressed in white, remained aloof and nodded silently.

The saintess, who was using medical ninjutsu to heal him, naturally wouldn't object.

"call--"

The Sharingan of the Uchiha Sage Sect has been restored to normal eyes. Sage Techniques are not easy to master, so the Sharingan's chakra must be conserved to create Sage Technique chakra.

He clasped his hands together and gently closed his eyes.

A gentle breeze was blowing through the air, as if some subtle change was taking place.

Sage Mode, activated!

Black markings suddenly appeared beneath Uchiha Senmon's left and right eyelids.

"Celestial magic..."

Uchiha Senmon suddenly opened his eyes, which were as dark as night and twinkled like stars. He raised a finger and uttered a low, deliberate utterance:

"Myojinmon!"
