I became Hokage in Tokyo

Chapters 458 and 459: The Divine Might of the Uchiha Sage Clan

Within a day of the crimson moon's ascent, the Yokota Explosion and the Tailed Beast Ball bombardment, two disasters almost equivalent to nuclear explosions, immediately shook the world.

Following the "Yokota Explosion," the topic of "Yellowstone Volcano Super Monster" instantly became a trending topic in various countries.

Not only are Japan and the United States in a state of chaos, but other countries are also overwhelmed and at a loss.

In particular, the sudden appearance of the Four-Tails and its Tailed Beast Ball annihilated the city, leaving a huge crater on satellite images that resembled an apocalyptic scene, which terrified everyone who knew about it.

What exactly happened?!

The global upheavals and changes have caused widespread panic, and doomsday prophecies have become rampant, but most people remain skeptical or doubtful.

Misfortune never comes singly; two massive explosions occurred in succession, like thunderclaps from a clear sky, waking up the bewildered onlookers.

Is the end of the world really coming?

Ordinary people in all countries sensed the tense atmosphere of impending doom, and nations naturally became more aware of potential threats.

Countries around the world are investigating potential threats within their borders, preparing for war by stockpiling supplies and strengthening their military equipment in preparation for the worst-case scenario. At the same time, they are also using diplomatic channels to express their condolences to Japan and the United States, their fellow countrymen in distress, and to discuss aid opportunities.

The main objective was to try to find a breakthrough in the two countries and obtain crucial intelligence about the apocalypse.

However, the US refused all aid requests in a curt manner, taking strict precautions against the infiltration of intelligence agents from various countries.

The four-tailed Son Goku traveled westward, and after destroying Idaho City, he inexplicably stopped his advance, dug mountains and created an active volcano, and hid inside it.

The defeat in the previous night's positional warfare proved that there was almost no other way to deal with a super time bomb like the Four-Tails except with a high-yield nuclear warhead.

The White House was nearly driven to madness. When had a superpower ever suffered such a huge loss and been forced into such a predicament?!

Although he was badly injured by the Four-Tails, he was not seriously wounded, and Mi Fang believed that he still had a great advantage.

Without a doubt, the United States is now the country closest to the truth of the apocalypse, far surpassing other countries in intelligence progress.

The secrets of the nine tailed beasts were obtained from the ruins of Turtle Island. The US had no intention of revealing them to the world. Having finally collected such top-secret information, how could they possibly hand it over for nothing?

Each country used Japan and the United States as intelligence entry points, while the two countries used Turtle Island, which was located in the Pacific Ocean, and the Uchiha Senmon, whose whereabouts were unknown, as entry points.

For this reason, the sensational news of the Uchiha Sage's defection was suppressed.

Japan and the United States mobilized their national machinery, deploying massive forces to search high and low, determined to find the man and the turtle.

The scale of the operation surprised other countries and forces, who then launched their own investigations, both overtly and covertly.

-

"It really is the Naga Shrine."

Beneath the ancient torii gates, one horizontal and two vertical, in front of a quaint little shrine, a vortex-like spatial distortion appeared, followed by the emergence of two figures.

"Your Mangekyou Sharingan is Tobi's right eye."

The Uchiha Immortal Sect, revisiting their old haunts, glanced thoughtfully at the crow perched on Uchiha Itachi's shoulder.

It's not hard to imagine the reasons why this kaleidoscope ended up in Itachi Uchiha's hands.

Tobi perished in the Asakusa Incident, and his body was taken away by Jiraiya, the Toad Sage. Meanwhile, Itachi Uchiha was a spy planted in the Akatsuki organization, secretly informing Jiraiya.

"Did Mr. Jiraiya entrust it to you?"

"That's right. Obito's eyes were entrusted to me by Jiraiya before he passed away."

Uchiha Itachi nodded indifferently and said:

"His awakened kaleidoscope eye technique is 'Kamui,' you should know its abilities, Immortal Sect."

So the masked man's name is Uchiha Obito.

Following Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, and Susanoo, I learned the name of a brand new Mangekyou Sharingan.

"Kamui, Kamui..."

Uchiha Senmon chewed on the term.

Kamui can shatter enemies by distorting space, make himself ethereal to avoid attacks, and even open spatial portals to teleport thousands of miles away, making it an extremely powerful eye technique.

"Before taking Sasuke's eyes, there's still a little time. Let me answer your questions," Itachi Uchiha said coldly.

"Sasuke is your younger brother, isn't he? How dare you try to take his eyes?"

Uchiha Senmon reached out and touched his left eye, his face turning cold as he said:

"How much has your vision deteriorated?"

"cough."

Uchiha Itachi suddenly coughed, raised his right hand to cover his mouth, and blood oozed from between his fingers.

"Immortal Sect, you noticed it too after the Kaleidoscope was activated, didn't you?"

He casually wiped the bloodstains from the corner of his mouth, a cryptic smile on his face.

"The Mangekyou Sharingan is a very special eye. The power of the Mangekyou Sharingan is so strong that it puts a heavy burden on the body, and from the moment it awakens, these eyes will slowly move towards darkness."

After activating his Mangekyou Sharingan and controlling Susanoo at Yokota Base, Senmon Uchiha was shocked to discover that his eyesight was irreversibly declining.

Although it was only a tiny amount, it still made the Uchiha Sage Sect wary.

The Mangekyou Sharingan is a double-edged sword. If its power is misused, over time, it will cause blindness in both eyes.

"Has Itachi Uchiha's eyes reached their limit?"

In reality, the side effects of the Mangekyou Sharingan were far greater than the Uchiha Sagemon had imagined.

After awakening his Mangekyou Sharingan, Sasuke Uchiha fought against Killer Bee, the Third Raikage, and Danzo in just a few days, using the Mangekyou Sharingan and Susanoo twenty or thirty times, and almost lost his sight.

Uchiha Senmon was unaware that he had minimized the side effects of the Mangekyou Sharingan by nourishing his body with Wood Release, mistakenly believing that others suffered the same level of damage.

"Itachi Uchiha already has a spare Mangekyou Sharingan, but that's not enough; he's set his sights on his own brother... and maybe he even has his eye on me!"

Even with Jiraiya's dying words as a guarantee, the Uchiha Sage Sect remained secretly on guard and prepared to take action.

In any case, he must preserve the Mangekyou Sharingan in his left eye.

"Well, it's not just for that reason."

A bland, unhealthy color flushed across Itachi's usually cold face. He coughed a few times and gasped for breath, saying:

"This is for the birth of the prophesied child!"

The Child of Prophecy?

Uchiha Senmon raised an eyebrow; he certainly remembered the prophecy mentioned by Jiraiya.

The Child of Prophecy is born into the Uchiha clan and will bring unprecedented peace or destruction to the world.

Is he a savior, or a demon king who will destroy everything?

"Aren't you the Child of Prophecy, Itachi?" Senmon Uchiha asked in a deep voice.

Not yet.

Uchiha Itachi turned and walked towards the Naka Shrine, saying:

"Come, Immortal Sect. The secrets of the Uchiha clan that you seek to know are right here."

Uchiha Senmon's eyes flashed, and he followed.

Opening the secret entrance beneath the tatami mats at Nanga Shrine, the two walked one after the other through the dark and secluded passageway, arriving at its deepest point.

Beneath the massive half-mural depicting the Nine-Tails shaking the heavens and earth is a stone tablet recording the secrets of the Uchiha clan.

"Immortal Sect, with your current eye power, you are already able to decipher the last and most important secret on the stone tablet."

Uchiha Senmon remained expressionless, but excitement surfaced deep within his left eye. He took a deep breath, and the three tomoe in his eye transformed into the shape of cherry blossoms.

"I see, so what you wanted was the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan...."

After a long while, the Uchiha Immortal finally understood the whole story, his face showing a mixture of emotions, and he sighed.

"It's really too cruel."

He couldn't help but recall what Itachi Uchiha had said to him three years ago when he awakened his Sharingan.

To get these eyes, you must kill your best friend.

The Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan can only be activated by killing one's beloved blood relatives and brothers!

No wonder Itachi Uchiha showed absolutely no interest in his and Obito's Mangekyou Sharingan.

"You exterminated your entire clan, leaving only your younger brother alive, so that Sasuke could awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan out of hatred and become your backup eye."

Uchiha Senmon looked at Uchiha Itachi with a cold and disgusted gaze, and said:

"Is it all worth it for the power of the Eternal Kaleidoscope?"

"To save the world, the power of the kaleidoscope alone is far from enough."

Uchiha Itachi, devoid of blood or tears, said in a deep voice:

"The one who possesses the eternal kaleidoscope is the true child of prophecy!"

The Uchiha Sage's expression was unpredictable, but only after experiencing it firsthand could one truly understand the terrifying power of the Mangekyou Sharingan and Susanoo.

The combined power of the two Mangekyou Sharingan, linked by blood, gave birth to the Complete Susanoo, a being with the earth-shattering power to create with every move. Only Madara Uchiha, the progenitor of the Uchiha clan, possessed this power.

"There are only three Uchiha left in this world: you, me, and my younger brother Sasuke."

Itachi Uchiha's three-tomoe eyes flickered, and his gaze toward the Uchiha Sage Gate carried a hint of disappointment:

"I had some hope when I discovered the Wood Release power within you, Immortal. But it's a pity that with one of your eyes taken by Izanagi, you can't even open Susanoo. You've lost the potential of a prophetic child."

So this is what Itachi Uchiha meant by his magnanimity.

Uchiha Senmon blinked his left eye, a look of realization flashing across his face.

Three Uchiha, no, Akira is also an Uchiha.

Itachi Uchiha shouldn't have been unaware of Naruto's existence. Perhaps in Itachi's eyes, those who haven't awakened their Sharingan don't deserve to be called Uchiha.

"I don't know how A-Ming and the others are doing, but I believe in Inaba."

Before leaving the Supernatural Agency, the Uchiha Sagemon, taking precautions, entrusted Uchiha Naruto and Sakaki Nami to the care of Tsukimi Inaba.

Compared to the chaotic and turbulent world, the Eagle Organization's secret realm is a paradise.

"Does it really have to be this way? Isn't there any other way?"

"This is a necessary sacrifice. The entire Uchiha clan has already been sacrificed for the Child of Prophecy, and now it's my turn..."

Itachi Uchiha paused for a moment, then said coldly and ruthlessly:

"My younger brother Sasuke is no exception."

Although his actions were extreme, Itachi Uchiha had a noble cause of saving the world, and the Uchiha Sage, as an outsider, could not interfere and could only remain silent.

"Senmon, as the last Uchiha, I hope you can serve as a witness to this fateful battle."

The Uchiha Immortal Sect remained silent for a long time before slowly nodding.

"I understand, but I won't interfere in your brothers' duel."

"That would be perfect," Itachi Uchiha said calmly, seemingly confident of victory.

Uchiha Senmon glanced at the inscription one last time, then asked Uchiha Itachi, enunciating each word clearly:

"The inscription also contains a final sentence: 'When Yin and Yang unite, all things in the universe can be obtained.' What does this mean?"

The Uchiha Immortal Sect was filled with endless questions.

Information about the apocalypse, information about Pain, the leader of the Akatsuki organization, and Madara Uchiha!

The bloodline power of the Uchiha clan contains the power to save the world. Even though Uchiha Madara is Izanagi, the creator god of Japan, his power clearly exceeds that of the island nation's main god.

Furthermore, the power of Wood Release is comparable to the Mangekyou Sharingan, making them two powers capable of taming the Nine-Tails.

A mysteries swirled in Uchiha Senmon's mind like a tangled mess, but a flash of inspiration struck him, and he accurately grasped the thread that could unravel the mystery.

"That's a good question."

Itachi Uchiha chuckled softly, a hint of admiration appearing in his eyes as he gazed at the Uchiha Sage Gate:

"The cause and effect of the Age of Gods' destruction, the power of the Uchiha clan, the birth of the nine tailed beasts—all of these are hidden in this one sentence."

"However, it would be troublesome to explain without words, so I will take you to another forbidden area in Konoha."

Uchiha Itachi said the following:

"That is a sacred place where Jinchuriki and Tailed Beasts communicate, and it preserves remarkably well-preserved relics from the Age of Gods."

The crow on Itachi's shoulder flapped its wings and flew between the two, its Sharingan eyes radiating a scarlet blood light.

"Cough, cough!"

Just then, Itachi Uchiha suddenly looked pained, clutched his chest, and coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"Itachi, are you alright?" Uchiha Senmon stepped forward and asked with concern.

It's unbelievable that Itachi's body has deteriorated to this extent; no wonder he was so eager to take Sasuke's eyes.

"The third kaleidoscope is quite difficult to use."

Itachi Uchiha waved his hand, and the crow landed in Senmon Uchiha's hands.

"Use your divine power to open the portal, the Immortal Gate."

"Could I borrow this kaleidoscope?"

Uchiha Senmon looked at the crow preening its feathers in its palm and asked in surprise.

"This was originally kept here by Jiraiya-sama; you are his half-disciple."

Shifting his gaze to Uchiha Senmon's closed right eye, Uchiha Itachi said meaningfully:

"And you need a new Sharingan now."

That's right, with an additional kaleidoscope, the Uchiha Sage Sect's combat strength and safety are further guaranteed.

There is no reason to refuse, both emotionally and logically.

Uchiha Senmon clenched his left hand, and the crow in his palm scattered into pieces of black feathers. Then he wiped his right eye socket with his right hand, and finally pressed the Sharingan into his left hand.

His right eyelid twitched a few times, then he suddenly opened it, revealing a black triangular windmill spinning.

Kamui!
