I became Hokage in Tokyo

Chapters 455 and 456: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes - Uchiha Sage Clan!

"Chief Uchiha has defected!"

"It disappeared along with Itachi of the Akatsuki... It should be Uchiha Itachi!"

"The Sharingan, the Uchiha clan—the truth is...we've all been kept in the dark!"

Intelligence from the front lines was simultaneously transmitted to the Prime Minister's official residence. These powerful political figures, who held positions of authority above thousands of people, turned pale and, like ordinary citizens, felt terrified, helpless, and lost, as if the sky had fallen.

"Silence! Silence!"

The deputy prime minister, his face ashen, growled a few times, barely managing to quell the chaotic commotion of the others.

Then his mind raced around the meeting room, searching for the Prime Minister to take charge (and scapegoat).

Don't try to fake fainting with nitroglycerin pills again, old man.

The bald prime minister sat in a chair with his head hunched and back slumped, looking kind and composed.

The Deputy Prime Minister is delighted!

As expected of the cabinet's backbone, the Prime Minister remained calm and composed even at a critical moment, truly displaying the demeanor of a great general.

"horse……"

"Prime Minister, what are your instructions?"

The Deputy Prime Minister eagerly put his ear to the Prime Minister's mouth, only to hear the latter's murmur:

"Malaysia, um, Malaysia is nice."

Eh?

The deputy prime minister looked completely bewildered.

"The seawater in Malaysia is so clear. I'll find a beautiful beach with a view of the ocean, build a little hut, and slowly finish reading all the DVDs and books I bought that I haven't watched yet..."

The prime minister's plans for a comfortable retirement came out of his listless eyes.

"What are you saying! Cheer up! Please cheer up!"

The deputy prime minister quickly shook the prime minister's shoulder, and he slumped limply in his chair, drool dripping from the corner of his mouth, letting out a strange laugh that was hard to decipher.

"Heh, heh heh..."

"Your Majesty Prime Minister? Your Majesty Prime Minister!"

"His Excellency the Prime Minister seems to have suffered a stroke!"

The crowd scrambled to support the Prime Minister and quickly called for a doctor.

Then, as everyone watched the Prime Minister being carried away on a stretcher, a sense of sorrow, like that of a rabbit mourning the death of a fox, appeared on their faces.

The massive explosion, which affected an area of ​​more than ten kilometers, occurred right next to Tokyo, and the number of dead and injured was incalculable.

Let alone the prime minister, their entire cabinet is a bunch of political futures dead men. Even if they all kneel down and apologize in front of the people, they won't be able to escape unscathed.

"Your Excellency, what should we do now?"

Japan's highest power is now in the hands of the Deputy Prime Minister.

The deputy prime minister's face turned pale and then flushed, his expression shifting unpredictably.

Although he had long coveted the throne, now that he's in it, he's practically sitting on a hot seat.

"Shouldn't we arrest the Uchiha?" someone suggested.

"Is your brain filled with dog shit?! Are you going to get it, or do I have to?"

Upon hearing this, the Deputy Prime Minister immediately flew into a rage, slamming his fist on the table and launching into a tirade of profanities:

"Come here, I'll give you a gun. Go and eliminate the Kage-level powerhouse, Uchiha Senmon!"

Glancing at the sinkhole and ruins, which were more than ten kilometers in diameter, on the satellite image, the deputy prime minister's eyes turned red, and he almost spit fire.

He's going crazy!

Following the Yokota bombing, the Prime Minister's Office immediately convened nuclear physicists to assess the destructive power.

The giant beam of light that appeared at the center of the Big Bang was different from the fireball of a nuclear explosion, and there was no typical mushroom cloud after the explosion. However, the power and range of the explosion can be assessed with reference to a nuclear explosion.

A test model was built using the "Tsar," the most terrifying monster-level hydrogen bomb in human history, which remained only on the blueprints. It had a yield of 100 million tons of TNT.

When a Tsar-class nuclear bomb is dropped on a city, the diameter of the burning area at the nuclear explosion center is 12 kilometers, the diameter of the area destroyed by the nuclear shock wave is 65 kilometers, and the kill range of the thermal radiation is 150 kilometers.

However, the blast radius is three-dimensional; if the blast diameter doubles, the required yield will increase exponentially.

The power of the Yokota Explosion, conservatively estimated, was equivalent to a hydrogen bomb with a yield of ten million tons.

The idea that Kage-level powerhouses were likened to human nuclear bombs was originally just a metaphor, but after witnessing the apocalyptic scene after the Yokota Explosion, the human nuclear bombs have become a reality.

"Idiot! Useless!"

The deputy prime minister was so angry he wanted to kill him.

The people in high positions in politics are all such idiots; no wonder Japan has become what it is today!

"Um... I wasn't talking about the Uchiha Senmon."

After the person who offered the suggestion dried his face, he replied weakly.

"Not the Uchiha Sage Mode, which Uchiha? You mean the white-clad Sasuke who was active in the Gurren Lagann, Uchiha Sasuke?"

The furious deputy prime minister paused, frowned, pondered for a moment, and then rebuked:

"Where can you find Sasuke now! And he's a Kage-level shinobi..."

The Superintendent General of Police, his temples streaked with silver, pondered for a moment before reminding the Deputy Prime Minister:

"He's probably referring to Uchiha Naruto, the son of the Uchiha Chief, the one who studies at Tokyo University."

Hmm, uh!

The deputy prime minister swallowed the profanity that was stuck in his throat, and his eyes lit up.

"A person of such importance must be under the secret protection of the Supernatural Agency. Where is Uchiha Naruto now?"

The Superintendent of Police turned to a senior bureaucrat from the Department of the Supernatural and asked.

Yes, yes.

The official from the Supernatural Affairs Bureau quickly took out his phone, made a call amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd, and then reported back:

"At the time of the explosion, Uchiha Naruto was attending the East University Festival and has now taken refuge in the Great Hall."

"Great! That's wonderful!"

The deputy prime minister blushed and began to gesticulate wildly.

"Do you want us to arrest him?"

"It's not an arrest, it's 'protection'! It's protection, understand!"

The deputy chief's expression immediately changed, a strange glint flashing in his eyes, and he said righteously and sternly:

"We must ensure that not a single hair on their head is harmed; we must bring people over to protect them!"

Uchiha Senmon isn't dead. He and Uchiha Itachi have disappeared somewhere. As a politician, he certainly can't let this go too far, otherwise he might get his whole family killed.

If we can control Uchiha Naruto, not only will the Uchiha clan be hesitant to act rashly, but we will also have leverage in negotiations.

As a descendant of the gods of Izanagi and a member of the Uchiha clan, Naruto Uchiha must possess the secrets and power of the Age of Gods; he is truly a treasure trove.

-

The Great Hall of the University of Tokyo.

Japan has been an island nation frequently affected by natural disasters since ancient times, and earthquake and disaster prevention have always been of paramount importance. Schools have always been the best choice for temporary shelters.

The shockwaves from the Yokota Explosion sent frightened faculty, students, and tourists into a panic, with many seeking refuge in the auditorium.

Anxiety was written all over everyone's face. Some students were sobbing quietly, and some men were frantically making phone calls to their families.

"I can't contact my brother-in-law right now, is he alright?"

The phone in Nami Sakaki's hand kept going dead, and she said worriedly.

Uchiha Naruto, Matsudaira Chiyo, and Tsukimi Inaba stood to the side with different expressions, creating a somewhat subtle atmosphere.

"Don't worry, Uncle Xianmen is fine. I could sense his presence after the explosion."

Tsukimi Riha opened her left eye and said in a cold tone.

"Tsukimi-san, what are you doing here?"

Matsudaira Chiyo's gaze shifted between Uchiha Naruto and Tsukimi Sato Inaba, a complex feeling that was hard to describe.

The three of them had some interactions during high school.

As time passed, A-Ming's status rose with the Uchiha clan's meteoric rise, and Tsukimi even transcended the ordinary to become a superhuman, while Matsudaira Chiyo herself found herself in the lowest position.

"I am……"

Tsukimi's cold, deep gaze, like a still pool, fell upon Uchiha Naruto.

"I'm here to protect you on Uncle Uchiha's orders."

Protect?

A thoughtful look flashed across Matsudaira Chiyo's pretty face.

Just then, a commotion arose at the entrance of the auditorium, and the crowd dispersed as a team of fully armed Occult Agency agents rushed towards the location of Uchiha Naruto.

"Mr. Uchiha, Tokyo is in chaos right now. We are under orders from our superiors to bring you and Ms. Sakaki to Chiyoda for protection," the captain said with a simple and honest expression.

The other refugees in the auditorium couldn't help but show envy and curiosity.

Many of the teachers and students among them recognized Uchiha Naruto and naturally knew who his father was.

The head of the Supernatural Affairs Bureau is truly all-powerful; even in a crisis, he can use his authority to escort his family to safety.

"We don't need your protection. Trustworthy people are right here."

Naruto Uchiha blinked and chuckled.

The captain paused, turned his head, and then noticed the taciturn Tsukimi Riha. His pupils suddenly contracted to the size of pinholes.

"eagle?!"

He and his teammates instinctively drew their sidearms.

"What?!"

"No, no!"

At that moment, all the team members froze instantly, and then, like puppets on strings, they pressed the gun barrels against their chins, crying and screaming in terror.

Their shadows writhed and stretched into a dark corner of the auditorium.

A girl with long, straight black hair, dressed entirely in a black sailor uniform, followed by a mixed-breed Shiba Inu, disappeared into the darkness.

Shadow Imitation!

"This is a school, don't let anyone get killed," Uchiha Naruto said calmly.

"Yes."

Then, from the shadows beneath the feet of the armed squad, a black hand emerged from each of them, coiling around their bodies like pythons and winding upwards.

"A black witch?"

The captain only had time to cry out in alarm before he was choked unconscious.

With a few "thumps," all the team members fell to the ground.

"Shiranui Hagoromo!"

"How could the son of Chief Uchiha be associating with a superhuman from the Hawk clan...?"

Not only were the other refugees in the auditorium dumbfounded, but even Matsudaira Chiyo and Sakaki Namiru were astonished.

"Ah Ming, what exactly happened?"

"Chiyo, I'll explain later. You and Aunt Nami just need to trust me and Senmon."

Naruto Uchiha raised his head and looked at the ceiling of the auditorium.

"It's about time."

Just then, a white light membrane pierced through the ceiling and enveloped the five people and the dog perfectly.

As if weightless, their bodies gradually floated into the air, rising higher and higher.

"The daily routine is over."

Naruto Uchiha's expression remained indifferent as he faced east, his sharp gaze seemingly fixed on a new continent thousands of miles away.

"Next, we need to prepare to awaken the Rinnegan. Also, hunt the Tailed Beasts!"

-

The tactical squad returned empty-handed, and the bad news that the Uchiha Senmon family members had escaped through the reverse membrane under the escort of the Hawk Organization cast a pall of despair over the Prime Minister's residence.

The faces of all the political bigwigs were extremely grim.

"How could Uchiha Naruto, so young, possibly command a hawk? It must be an arrangement by the Uchiha Sage Clan! He had already prepared a way out for his family; the betrayal was premeditated."

That's terrifying. The Uchiha Sage Clan is indeed meticulous and leaves no room for error.

"Not only is he colluding with Itachi Uchiha of Akatsuki, but even Taka is bowing down to the Uchiha Sage Clan? His previous mediation of the conflict with Taka was nothing but a charade."

"It turns out we've always been dancing in that person's palm, like clowns."

The deputy prime minister looked very grim.

Three years ago, he strongly recommended Uchiha Senmon to become the head of the Supernatural Police Department.

The Uchiha Sage Clan not only possessed formidable strength, but also harbored great ambitions, unfathomable wisdom, and far-reaching plans.

The Twelve Divine Generals, Akatsuki, and Hawk—three extraordinary organizations—were all pawns of the Uchiha Sage Clan. These self-important political figures were completely manipulated by him.

The Uchiha Sage, this ambitious man, is becoming increasingly suspicious. Now that he has disappeared, he must be preparing some kind of nefarious conspiracy.

Perhaps, the Uchiha Senmon were the masterminds behind the previous conflicts with the Akatsuki and Hawk organizations!

"Sigh, what should we do now? Reveal the truth to the public and pin all the blame on the Uchiha Sage Sect?"

"The leader of the Twelve Divine Generals, the head of the Supernatural Affairs Bureau, and the patriotic hero Uchiha Senmon have defected! We will all become a laughingstock of the world!"

"What does it matter if we just become a laughing stock? The Yokota bombing was so terrible that we simply cannot withstand the anger of the people and the thunderous fury of the United States."

Everyone couldn't stop sighing.

"I feel something is amiss. He's not the kind of heartless person who would do something like that."

As the former superior of the Uchiha Sage Clan, the Superintendent General of Police pondered for a long time before slowly saying:

"Before the pillar of light from the Yokota Explosion appeared, there was a mushroom cloud and a series of explosions at the Yokota base. Who was the Uchiha Senmon fighting?"

"What's the use of talking about this now? The Uchiha Sage Sect has already defected."

"Don't make hasty judgments. It would be of no benefit to Japan to completely push the Uchiha Sage Sect to the opposite side."

"I think you've fallen under the Sharingan's genjutsu!"

The crowd argued heatedly for a long time, their faces flushed, like a marketplace, with no one able to come up with a solution.

The deputy prime minister slumped dejectedly in his seat, somewhat envious of the prime minister who had suffered a stroke.

Suddenly, a thought struck him, and he noticed something.

The White House has not yet connected to the Prime Minister's residence.

The Yokota Air Base was razed to the ground, and tens of thousands of American soldiers were wiped out. It's unimaginable how furious the US will be.

Even if Commander William were to be killed, and the US ambassador were still in the hospital, the US mainland should have already reacted.

Minutes later, the Deputy Prime Minister was shocked to hear another bombshell news following the Yokota bombing.

Yellowstone volcano erupts!
