I became Hokage in Tokyo

Chapters 445 and 446: The Supernatural Hall (Revised)

As evening approached, a black Toyota Century drove steadily through the streets of the port area.

Dressed in a black suit, Naruto Uchiha listlessly watched the foreign embassies flashing by outside the car window, and the increasingly congested traffic of various luxury cars.

After a while, the car slowed down until it came to a stop.

"Young Miss, Young Master Uchiha, we've arrived at the guesthouse."

The Akasaka Imperial Palace, a state guesthouse in Tokyo's Minato Ward, was built in the early 20th century and was the only Neo-Baroque Western-style palace in Japan at the time.

Akasaka Imperial Palace, also known as the Togu Palace, was once the residence of the Crown Prince, resplendent in gold and extremely luxurious. After the war, Japan transformed it into a national-level reception facility, serving not only as a venue for important national conferences but also hosting numerous heads of state and dignitaries.

Three days after the Battle of Kobe, the Japanese government held a victory celebration at the Akasaka Imperial Villa.

"Ah Ming, let's go."

The waiter eagerly opened the car door, and Matsudaira Chiyo, dressed in a burgundy evening gown, elegantly placed her hand on Uchiha Naruto's hand, got out of the car, and then took his arm.

After handing over the invitations and going through a strict security procedure, the two entered the venue.

The band was playing melodious music, and well-dressed celebrities of different races and skin colors were clinking glasses and chatting, while waiters carrying drinks flitted among them like butterflies.

Dressed in a black suit, Uchiha Naruto was handsome and dashing, while his evening gown accentuated Matsudaira Chiyo's slender figure, making her look stunning. The two were a perfect match, and at a university dance, they would definitely be the center of attention. However, at this important celebration party tonight, they were completely inconspicuous.

"These are all very important people who have come, Ah Ming."

Matsudaira Chiyo whispered in Uchiha Naruto's ear:

"Almost the entire cabinet is here, along with ambassadors and heads of state from various countries. Those two gentlemen are the President of the Federal Republic of Germany and the US Ambassador, and the lady next to her is..."

Uchiha Naruto had little interest in this. He only had a vague impression of the half-bald prime minister, and he didn't recognize the other cabinet ministers, let alone foreign dignitaries and powerful figures.

The top echelons of Japanese politics are either incompetent, corrupt, or both.

If a bomb were to explode and kill all the Japanese political figures present, Japan might be saved.

Uchiha Naruto chuckled, thinking maliciously.

"They've all come for Uncle Uchiha!"

Upon hearing this, Naruto Uchiha's smile vanished, and an unfathomable meaning flickered in his dark eyes.

Although the Tengen game caused enormous damage to five Japanese cities, especially Kobe, where half of Kobe was torn into Osaka Bay, at least it "defeated" the Yamata no Orochi and thwarted "Abe no Seimei's" conspiracy, right?

The Japanese government is adept at turning funerals into celebrations, reporting only good news and concealing bad news.

The mouthpiece of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, with its propaganda efforts in full swing, achieved a hard-won victory under the wise leadership of the Cabinet.

The Uchiha Senmon were undoubtedly the number one contributor to this great victory.

Through skillful manipulation of public opinion, the contributions of the Hawk Organization, Sasuke Uchiha, and Itachi Uchiha were glossed over, with all the credit attributed to the Sagemon Uchiha.

The media and newspapers lavishly praised the Uchiha Senmon, portraying him not only as a national hero of Japan but also as a savior of the world.

"Minister Uchiha is Japan's guardian deity!"

"Without Minister Uchiha, Japan would be in grave danger this time."

The other members of parliament and ministers echoed their agreement wholeheartedly.

If it had been any later that night, several nuclear warheads with a yield of tens of millions of tons would have caused Japan to once again develop nuclear mushrooms.

Of course, the fact that Japan almost suffered a nuclear attack would never be reported in the newspapers.

The issue of ordinary Japanese citizens eating food contaminated with nuclear radiation is minor; the real issue is that high-ranking cabinet members will be condemned by everyone and forced to step down in disgrace.

Department Head Uchiha is their great benefactor!

Moreover, the immense power of Minister Uchiha in the Battle of Kobe was practically divine. With such a powerful figure in charge, Japan would be as stable as Mount Tai, and the lives and property of the upper-class citizens would be safe and secure.

"I heard that Department Head Uchiha is getting promoted again."

Congratulations to Minister Uchiha!

They raised their glasses and drank them down with great joy.

Uchiha Naruto curled his lip, looking down on him.

The level of nausea and disgust among these people was so extreme that even Naruto Uchiha couldn't bear to look at them; it was practically a case of praising someone to death.

Suddenly his expression changed.

"The Japanese can still laugh even after suffering such heavy losses."

"There's nothing we can do. The Japanese have a trump card in their hands, and they'll quickly make back the losses through foreign investment."

In a corner of the venue, the blond, blue-eyed U.S. ambassador was whispering to his military attaché.

Countries around the world will naturally not readily believe the Japanese government's propaganda, but the power of the Yamata no Orochi and the Susano'o-man in their armor to sink islands, tear apart the earth, and cleave the sea is undeniable.

The Kage-level strength displayed by the Uchiha Sage Clan is like that of a god or demon, attracting worldwide attention.

The intensity of the Kobe War far exceeded human imagination, and the threat posed by the extraordinary existence to national security, as well as its immense strategic value, has once again been elevated to a new level.

Suddenly, the international situation became turbulent and turbulent.

"Sometimes I'm really glad that the United States only has a history of two hundred years, unlike Japan, which is a country with a long history. Otherwise, who knows what kind of devil might suddenly jump out."

The US ambassador swirled his wine glass and said casually:

"With such immense power, it's a waste of his talent for him to remain in Japan. Could we perhaps send him to develop his career in the United States?"

"Is this the White House's intention?" the military attaché asked hesitantly.

The U.S. ambassador nodded.

Although the crisis caused by the fake Abe no Seimei has passed, various countries can still keenly sense the tense atmosphere of impending doom beneath the surface.

Itachi Uchiha's descent to the mortal realm proves that the era of the Absolute Interruption has completely ended.

The Age of Gods, where gods, Buddhas, and Kage-level powerhouses strode across the land, may soon return.

It's better to have your own than to have your own parents, and vice versa; it's better to have your own than to have your own children.

As the strongest Kage-level shinobi in the world, if the Uchiha Sage could serve in the United States, the United States' hegemonic position would remain unshakable in the increasingly chaotic supernatural era.

"That's probably difficult. Mr. Uchiha still has a deep affection for Japan. He's honest and upright, and has a reputation for being incorruptible. Without any leverage over him, he's hard to be tempted by bribes..."

"What about the people around him? Doesn't the Uchiha Department Head's sister-in-law have a foundation?"

The US ambassador asked in a low voice:

"If I remember correctly, Minister Uchiha has a son who is currently in college. A young man of that age should be filled with longing for our great, free, and democratic motherland."

Ha, I spit on them, they're courting death.

Naruto Uchiha took a glass of champagne from the waiter, took a sip, a mocking look on his lips, and then paid no more attention.

Before the main characters of the celebration party even appeared, the dignitaries from various countries were discussing profound topics such as the international situation and extraordinary strategies in the center of the venue, while young people like Uchiha Naruto and Matsudaira Chiyo were enjoying food and wine and socializing in a corner of the venue.

"Naru-san!"

Uchiha Naruto was yawning out of boredom when a young man in a black tuxedo, accompanied by his female companion, walked towards them.

"Jumonji, I knew you'd come."

"Of course, this is the Uchiha captain's victory celebration banquet. Even if I die in my grave, I'll crawl out of it." Jūmonji Hayato said with a matter-of-fact expression.

"This must be your classmate, Hayato, the son of Captain Uchiha?"

Jumonji's female companion was a pretty young lady in a white dress. When she saw Uchiha Naruto, her eyes lit up. After a brief self-introduction, she couldn't wait to extend her hand.

When Naruto Uchiha shook hands with her, the woman's little finger lightly traced a line across his palm.

Naruto Uchiha's face immediately turned indifferent, and he didn't bother to look at her directly.

Matsudaira Chiyo glanced thoughtfully at Uchiha Naruto, her face beaming with a smile.

The girl in the white dress, having made a fool of herself, remained silent and followed quietly beside Hayato Jūmonji, listening to his conversation with Naruto Uchiha.

"ladies and gentlemen!"

The Deputy Prime Minister, who was serving as the master of ceremonies, walked unhurriedly onto the stage of the venue, and pressed his hands together a few times. The once noisy Akasaka Imperial Villa gradually quieted down.

"Thank you very much to our distinguished guests from home and abroad for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend this celebration party."

The Deputy Prime Minister delivered a long, uneventful speech, filled with empty pleasantries and formalities. Although the dignitaries below were drowsy, they had no choice but to stay alert, afraid of missing any important information.

Finally, the main event is here.

"Our cabinet has made a major decision to announce to the public and the international community: the Paranormal Police Department, established in 1955, will be officially upgraded to the Paranormal Agency!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's spirits immediately lifted.

As a country where supernatural phenomena are rampant, Japan has the world's strongest paranormal countermeasures team. It was able to barely maintain its capabilities during the three years of Jedi and Tendō, but it may be stretched thin in the foreseeable future of increasing chaos.

After experiencing an unprecedented crisis like the Battle of Kobe, it was only natural to upgrade the Supernatural Police Department to a bureau.

However, it's hard to say whether Japan's actions will trigger an extraordinary arms race internationally.

"The head of the Supernatural Affairs Agency is naturally a hero who turned the tide in the Battle of Kobe, a pillar of Japan in the new era..."

The Deputy Prime Minister waved his hand:

"The ever-trustworthy Uchiha Senmon!"

*Clap clap clap clap clap clap clap!*

Amid thunderous applause, Uchiha Senmon, dressed in a black hall manager's uniform, appeared on the stage.

"It is a great honor to have been entrusted with this responsibility by the government!"

The Uchiha Sage, who exuded an imposing aura without even being angry, had only opened his mouth when the presence of a Kage-level powerhouse caused all the ordinary people to hold their breath and not even dare to breathe loudly.

"I will do my utmost to fulfill my mission!"

"Clap clap clap!"

The Deputy Prime Minister immediately clapped, and a moment later, the distinguished guests present also joined in clapping and cheering, creating an incredibly enthusiastic and boisterous atmosphere that almost burst through the roof.

"Minister Uchiha, no, Director Uchiha is just too handsome."

Hayato Jūmonji's eyes were brimming with tears, and he didn't even notice his hands clapping until they were red and swollen.

"Are you okay……"

"A true man is born between heaven and earth; how can he remain subservient to others for long?"

Naruto Uchiha casually chimed in.

Hayato Jūmonji immediately responded with a triple denial: "I didn't do it, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!" and said, embarrassed and annoyed:

"That's how a true man should act!"

"Isn't this the same?"

The Uchiha Sage Sect is currently in a position of great prosperity and success.

However, things reach their extremes and then reverse; prosperity leads to decline!

Uchiha Naruto naturally knew that the Immortal Clan was not a man obsessed with power; his acquisition of power within the system was merely a stepping stone.

The goal of the Tengen Game has been achieved. Uchiha Naruto has harvested a large number of infinite chakra perpetual motion machines. As long as they are set up at the right points, they will be enough to open a large barrier covering Japan.

At that time, any fish that slipped through the net on Japanese soil will have nowhere to hide.

Since the Battle of Kobe, Naruto Uchiha has focused his efforts on setting up this great barrier, preparing for the arrival of the Crimson Moon.

In addition, he needs to refine the Naruto setting and the modified story background that combines it with Japanese mythology, and then gradually reveal it to the public at the right time.

One lie requires countless lies to cover it up. When Naruto Uchiha was weak, he fabricated a myth of resurrection to borrow the power of the powerful and bluff his way out.

Naruto Uchiha has now grown to the point where he can fight against the whole world on his own, so it doesn't matter if his true form is exposed.

Under the absolute violence that suppresses the world, if Uchiha Naruto wanted to become the supreme ruler of the earth or a true god among men, there would be great scholars of different nationalities debating scriptures with him.

However, the colossal lie he had fabricated would be exposed, and such a self-inflicted wound would be rather unsightly.

So Naruto Uchiha decided to make the charade real and portray himself as a savior.

For this world, the false reason of the resurgence of the gods is a gentler one than being inexplicably and irrationally invaded by a system.

"The extraordinary bloodline possessing the Sharingan is a 'secret' of the Izanagi lineage. I have already revealed this to the Japanese government through Hiruko, but the Japanese government has kept it a secret."

Uchiha Naruto was not surprised by the Japanese government's actions.

Aside from some skepticism, there was, after all, a branch of the so-called "divine descendants" of Amaterasu Omikami living in the Imperial Palace. If this were made public, it would surely cause an uproar.

Even if the Uchiha clan were truly descendants of the god Izanagi, it still has to be a lie!

"I need a mouthpiece."

Naruto Uchiha, holding a glass of champagne, darted around and locked his gaze on a bespectacled scholar in the hall.

His face was flushed and he reeked of alcohol; he had clearly drunk quite a bit.

This is none other than Professor Nagayama, an authority in Japanese mythology and folklore, an advisor to the Supernatural Police Department, a visiting professor in the Department of History at the University of Tokyo, and a renowned expert on supernatural theories in the supernatural era!

"An army is raised for a thousand days, but used for only one."

Naruto Uchiha smirked, revealing a malicious grin, as if he were a major villain.

"Thanks to my fabricated myth of revival, Professor Changshan has been able to thrive in the past few years, and now it's time for him to pay back."
