I became Hokage in Tokyo

Chapter 459 Chapter 460 Ten Tails

Hundreds or thousands of nautical miles east of Kyushu, Japan, in the high seas, the sea rises high, and tens of thousands of tons of seawater form huge, mountain-like waves that surge into the sky, then spread into a tsunami that washes over everything, and a huge turtle island, supported by mountains, emerges from the water.

"This is the Kamejima-kun, tamed by the Uchiha clan..."

"Before the Age of Gods ended, the ancestors of the Uchiha moved the relics of Konoha to a secret realm and the back of Turtle Island."

Uchiha Senmon and Uchiha Itachi walked on Turtle Island. Although it had been submerged in the Pacific Ocean, the land on the bare turtle's back was extremely dry and devoid of moisture.

Is it a barrier?

Uchiha Senmon raised his head to look at the sky, then lowered it again, looking around. There were still some abandoned building materials and ship wreckage left on the island.

"It seems that during the time Turtle Island has reappeared in the human world, some uninvited guests have landed on the island," Itachi Uchiha said calmly.

Led by Itachi Uchiha, the two arrived at the waterfall at the main peak, one after the other.

They waded through the pool, crossed the cascading waterfall, and found themselves at an entrance blocked by boulders.

After receiving a signal from Itachi Uchiha, Senmon Uchiha stretched out his hand and formed a hand seal. Tree roots burst through the rocks and instantly opened an entrance large enough for cars to pass through.

Although the cave was dimly lit, it was no problem at all for the Uchiha Senmon who had awakened his Sharingan.

His gaze swept over the two rows of headless Buddha statues bearing sword marks, and then landed on the huge demon relief on the rock wall.

A two-tailed cat demon wreathed in fireballs, a gray turtle with three tails and countless spiky ridges on its shell, a red giant ape with four tails, a gigantic slug with what appear to be six limbs, and...

Uchiha Senmon's gaze sharpened.

The nine-tailed fox's tails, swaying and twisting, shook the heavens and the earth!

"These are the Tailed Beasts?" Senmon Uchiha asked in a deep voice.

At a glance, one can see that the tails of these nine great demons increase in number, from the raccoon with only one tail and purple-black stripes to the nine-tailed fox demon at the end.

"One-Tailed Shukaku, Two-Tailed Nekomata, Three-Tailed Isobu, Four-Tailed Sage Monkey King, Five-Tailed Kokuo..."

Itachi Uchiha responded with great familiarity:

"The six-tailed Saiken, the seven-tailed Jumei, the eight-tailed Gyūki, and the strongest nine-tailed Yūko—these nine calamity-bringing beasts are the Tailed Beasts."

Are there really eight more powerful demons comparable to the Nine-Tailed Fox?

Moreover, judging from their tails, there must be some kind of connection between these nine tailed beasts.

Uchiha Senmon recalled the inscription and pondered, "The inscription at the Naka Shrine records that the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan can tame the Nine-Tails."

"You're right. The Nine-Tailed refers not only to the Nine-Tailed Fox, but more accurately, to the Nine-Tailed Beasts."

On Itachi Uchiha's pale, sickly face, an ambiguous expression appeared.

Just then, a weak cry for help came from deep within the cave.

"Help...help, has anyone come? Help! I'm hungry...I need food..."

Uchiha Senmon and Uchiha Itachi exchanged a glance, neither showing any surprise.

"As expected of Professor Nagayama."

The two followed the sound and walked over. Uchiha Senmon looked down at his old acquaintance, Professor Nagayama, who was lying on the ground on the verge of death, and another foreign strong man who looked slightly better but was listless. His Sharingan eyes darted around.

"Chief Uchiha!"

Upon hearing the voice of Uchiha Senmon, Professor Nagayama, whose face was deathly pale, almost thought it was a hallucination caused by his impending death. Then, overjoyed, he suddenly cried out as if he had experienced a final burst of energy before death.

After the earthquake on the island, he and the naval captain were unfortunately trapped in the caves of the ruins for more than a week.

To maintain secrecy, his cell phone was confiscated before he arrived on the island, and the naval captain's satellite phone had no signal when he tried to call for help.

The two had almost no choice but to sit and wait for their deaths.

There was no shortage of fresh water in the cave, but no food.

Fortunately, the naval captain had a few pieces of high-calorie military rations in his pocket, which the two of them shared and ate while gnawing on moss, barely managing to survive until now.

As rescue efforts were slow to arrive and Professor Nagayama was on the verge of despair, he was finally rescued.

Moreover, it was Chief Uchiha himself who came. What have I done to deserve this? I am so lucky!

Professor Nagasawa, who was on the verge of death, was moved to tears. With his last bit of strength, he opened his eyes and was immediately stunned.

Is the man next to Chief Uchiha a member of the Akatsuki?

And those crimson eyes of the Uchiha Chief, radiating a blood-red light—the Sharingan?!

Professor Nagayama, trapped in the Turtle Island cave, was completely unaware that the Uchiha Sage had already revealed that he possessed the Sharingan and had left the Supernatural Agency.

Could he have stumbled upon Chief Uchiha's secret meeting with the Akatsuki...?

Am I going to be killed to silence me?

Suddenly, Uchiha Senmon extended his right hand towards Professor Nagayama and the Navy Captain, five emerald green branches emerging from his five fingers and piercing into the two men with lightning speed.

I'm going to die! I'm going to die!

"what?"

Professor Nagayama closed his eyes tightly in fear, but unexpectedly, he felt no pain. Instead, his aching stomach and intestines began to feel full, and strength gradually flowed from his limbs and bones.

"Aren't you going to kill them?"

"There's no need for that. Besides, the government and ordinary people have the right to know about information regarding the apocalypse."

Uchiha Senmon said calmly.

Wood Release allows people to maintain their health without eating or drinking. The Uchiha Sage is now using branches to deliver nutrients to Professor Nagayama and the Navy Captain.

Just a few seconds later, the two, who had been weak and haggard, stood up with rosy cheeks and full of energy.

"Chief Uchiha, thank you so much for saving my life!"

Even though his mind was still a complete mess and he couldn't figure out what was going on, Professor Nagayama still wisely smiled broadly and bowed and scraped.

"You're from the US, right? Can I borrow your satellite phone for a moment?"

No small trick can escape the eyes of the Uchiha Sage.

The naval captain's face turned pale and then red, but in the end he smiled bitterly and obediently handed over the satellite phone.

After Turtle Island surfaced, the signal was restored.

Uchiha Senmon took the phone, flipped through it a few times, his expression changed, and his brows furrowed.

"A super monster awakened from Yellowstone volcano, is it four-tailed?"

Even without making a phone call, as long as the mobile phone is turned on, the relevant departments can find out the approximate location through the base station.

Since the Uchiha Sage had decided to defect, he naturally wouldn't have brought his cell phone with him. Only now did he hear the explosive news that the Four-Tails had detonated the Yellowstone volcano.

"The first tailed beast to awaken is the most mischievous Immortal Ape King, so the seal has indeed loosened."

As Itachi Uchiha watched the Four-Tails erupting like a volcano in the video, his tone was calm, but his expression became serious.

Professor Nagayama and the naval captain were so anxious they were scratching their heads, looking like they wanted to ask but dared not.

Both of them were quick-witted and intelligent. From the conversation between Uchiha Senmon and Itachi, they knew that something earth-shattering had probably happened in the outside world.

"Was the end of the world caused by the awakening of the nine tailed beasts?"

Uchiha Senmon quickly scanned the related news. The black sphere of light that the Four-Tails destroyed Idaho City with a single shot was clearly comparable in power to a tactical nuclear weapon, making it a veritable mobile natural disaster.

But if that's all there is to it, it doesn't seem like a big deal.

The only problem is the quantity.

The Uchiha Senmon, who possessed the Mangekyou Sharingan, Wood Release, and Sage Mode, did not consciously think of it.

"The secrets of the nine tailed beasts go beyond this."

Itachi Uchiha glanced expressionlessly at Professor Nagayama and the Navy Captain, who were listening intently with their ears perked up, and a chill ran down their spines.

"What follows is a secret concerning the Uchiha clan, and even the most important secret of this world."

The implication was that they were asking whether the Uchiha Sage should reveal this in front of these two outsiders.

Professor Nagayama looked embarrassed. The secrets of the tailed beasts and the destruction of the Age of Gods were important, but nothing was more important than his own life.

"It doesn't matter anymore, the end of the world is just around the corner anyway."

Uchiha Senmon remained unmoved, his voice as firm as iron.

During my time in the Fourth Investigation Division, I witnessed too many people who were dragged into things and died without knowing why. The Uchiha Senmon have always been advocates for opening up supernatural information to the public.

When the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact.

The apocalypse is closely related to the fate of all nations and humanity, and this kind of information should not be kept in the hands of myself and Itachi Uchiha, or in the hands of a small group of high-ranking government officials.

Everyone, regardless of nationality or social status, should have the most basic right to know.

As human civilization has developed to this point, the military power of the world's major powers should not be underestimated. If they can unite and cooperate, they will certainly be able to play a key role even in a crisis such as the end of the world.

At the very least, they can organize evacuations, reassure the public, and minimize casualties.

Having Professor Nagayama, an advisor to the Supernatural Agency, and another agent from the United States take the doomsday intelligence out would be more in the collective interest of all mankind.

"You're really gentle, Senmon." Itachi Uchiha had a meaningful expression on his face.

"I wasn't called a woman's sentimentality, so let's just take it as a compliment." Uchiha Senmon shook his head and said with a self-deprecating smile.

This means they are allowed to sit in on the proceedings.

Professor Nagayama, who had been anxiously worried about being killed to silence him, finally felt relieved, his face relaxed, and he was moved to tears.

Chief Uchiha is truly great; his integrity and moral character are exemplary!

Although it's unclear why he's associating with members of the Akatsuki, it's certainly for the greater good.

Let's go to the next place.

Uchiha Itachi was the first to emerge from the cave. Knowing the way, he led everyone to the depths of another dilapidated temple on Turtle Island, where they paid homage to the murals of Izanagi.

"This is……"

Looking at the white-robed sage who created a land with the Heavenly Swamp Spear in his hand and a circle of black light spheres behind him like a rainbow bridge, a thoughtful look flashed across Uchiha Senmon's face.

"Uchiha Madara, the progenitor of the Uchiha clan."

Although the clothing and demeanor of Madara Uchiha in the half-mural in the underground chamber of the Naga Shrine are slightly different, one can still vaguely see a resemblance.

Moreover, the Sharingan in his eyes makes his true form almost palpable.

"Uchiha Madara? Isn't that Izanagi-no-Mikoto...?"

Professor Nagayama hesitated before asking, then noticed that Uchiha Senmon and Uchiha Itachi had turned to look at him, and he immediately snapped out of his daze.

I asked the stupidest question imaginable.

The Sharingan eyes in their sockets are exactly the same as those in the mural of Izanagi-no-Mikoto, indicating a clear blood relationship between them.

Izanagi-no-Mikoto is the progenitor god of the Sharingan's extraordinary clan. Since Chief Uchiha possesses such eyes, he can certainly trace his origins back to Izanagi.

In other words, Izanagi is the name of the Japanese creator god, while Madara Uchiha is a personal name.

Professor Changshan was so excited that his hands trembled and his body shook.

They had only just entered the temple and had already discovered such a significant secret; it was impossible to imagine what surprises awaited them.

He was suddenly overcome with a sense of self-satisfaction, like a martyr who felt that if he heard the truth in the morning, he could die content in the evening.

"There must be more secrets in this temple than just this one; there's another mystery here."

Uchiha Senmon's Sharingan scanned the area, and he slowly walked to the seventh stone slab from the far right of the main hall.

"Is it hidden here? Just like at the Nanga Shrine."

A crimson halo appeared in Uchiha Senmon's eyes.

Under the infusion of eye power, the black three-pointed star pattern of the Sharingan gradually emerged on the stone slab, surrounded by mysterious and profound black runes.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the stone slab rose into the air and slowly moved aside.

The naval captain, who had remained silent the entire time, gaped in astonishment.

After discovering the temple, they searched it repeatedly using various cutting-edge scientific exploration equipment, but they did not find any secret passages underground.

Extraordinary things cannot be fathomed by ordinary reason.

"As expected, I couldn't hide it from you with your Mangekyou Sharingan."

The passageways of the temple and the secret passages of the Nanga Shrine are equally deep and long, so dark that you can hardly see your hand in front of your face.

"Clap clap clap".

Professor Nagayama walked with a pounding heart, but thankfully he could hear the footsteps of others, as well as the conversation between Uchiha Senmon and Uchiha Itachi.

"Senmon, you saw half of Madara Uchiha's mural in the basement of the Naga Shrine."

Uchiha Itachi suddenly spoke up and asked:

"I don't think we'll be too shocked next."

Uchiha Senmon blinked, and then realized what was happening.

"You mean, the remaining half of the mural is here?"

"Oh."

Uchiha Itachi chuckled softly, offering no reply.

At this moment, a ray of light finally appeared at the end of the long secret passage, causing even the Uchiha Immortal Sect to feel a jolt in their hearts.

An enemy capable of making Madara Uchiha and the Nine-Tailed Fox fight side by side must be an extraordinary foe.

The other eight tailed beasts?

Or is it Izanami, who turned against Izanagi in mythology?

"This is the starting point of creation, destruction, and reincarnation, the source of the Sharingan and Wood Release that are inextricably intertwined."

Illuminated by the flickering torches on both sides, the ten tails of the enormous, one-eyed creature in the mural seemed to dance as if they were alive.

"The aggregate of nine tailed beasts, the doomsday beast that destroyed the Age of Gods, the Ten-Tails."
