I became Hokage in Tokyo

Chapters 462 and 463: Qilin

Moisture from the Pacific Ocean drifted over Turtle Island, and the faint sound of wind and thunder gradually approached through the gaps in the gloomy, gray clouds.

"Hey!"

Until a loud eagle's cry pierced the clouds, the wind swept away the gloom.

Following behind Professor Nagayama, Uchiha Senmon strode out of the entrance to the dilapidated shrine. The three black tomoe in his eyes swirled as he gazed into the northeast.

A huge gray falcon grabbed a boy in white and swooped down towards the main peak of Turtle Island with lightning speed.

Uchiha Sasuke!

Uchiha Senmon's eyes sharpened, his gaze complex and unfathomable; the moment had finally arrived.

The day when the two brothers, Itachi and Sasuke, with their Mangekyou Sharingan merged into one and ascended to the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, the day the prophesied child to save the world was born!

Is it really necessary to make such a terrible sacrifice in order to obtain the Eternal Kaleidoscope?

In order to protect the world, Madara Uchiha did not hesitate to turn against his wife Izanami and seal her away for thousands of years.

Itachi Uchiha, who inherited Madara Uchiha's dark will, followed the same path.

To become the savior, to stop Izanami's resurrection, and to free all humanity from the tragic fate of becoming nourishment for the divine tree!

"Clap clap clap".

Sasuke Uchiha walked into the ruins of the Age of Gods in the main peak cave from behind the waterfall. He ignored the magnificent Tailed Beast murals and his cold gaze fell directly on Itachi Uchiha, who had his back to him.

Uchiha Itachi stood with his head tilted back beneath the relief of the Nine-Tailed Fox. After a long while, he turned around, his eyes flashing with bloodlust, and spoke calmly:

"How far can your Sharingan see?"

"How far I can see, that's all my eyes can see right now..."

Sasuke Uchiha also activated his three-tomoe Sharingan, his eyes filled with chilling killing intent, and sneered:

"That's the look of your dying face, Itachi!"

"What kind of look is this when I die?"

Uchiha Itachi closed his eyes indifferently, then opened them wide in anger, and three black tomoe condensed into three black scythes:

"Then, show it to me."

At the same time, Sasuke Uchiha's pupils also switched to the six-pointed star Mangekyou Sharingan, staring back defiantly at Itachi Uchiha.

drop.

Beep, beep.

For a moment, the ruins of the ancient gods were silent, with only the sound of water dripping onto the ground.

Sasuke and Itachi Uchiha locked eyes, their auras fluctuating in intensity, and beads of sweat trickled down their cheeks.

"Huff, huff, huff..."

Suddenly, Sasuke Uchiha's face showed pain. He raised his right hand to cover his right eye and breathed heavily through his nose.

"You've really gotten stronger, Sasuke."

Itachi Uchiha calmly praised:

"It actually managed to withstand my Tsukuyomi."

"I now have the same eyes as you, and I'm no longer the child you used to manipulate."

Uchiha Sasuke raised his head, his eyes sharp enough to pierce through all illusions:

"Don't pretend to be so confident, you're all bark and no bite."

"cough."

Uchiha Itachi lowered his eyes, a splash of bright red blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, staining his clothes red.

"My eyes are different now; they can't be fooled anymore!"

Uchiha Sasuke frowned, his eyes blinked, and he said in a cold voice:

"In order to keep your Mangekyou Sharingan shining forever, and to obtain the power of the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, you are willing to do anything, even kill all your clansmen to force me to awaken my Sharingan."

"Now, do you have anything to explain, Itachi?"

"What a foolish little brother! Now that you've opened the kaleidoscope, you must have seen the inscription in the secret chamber of the Naga Shrine."

Itachi Uchiha wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his left hand, giving a contemptuous and mocking smile:

"Although you said you would never fall for my illusions again, you are still immersed in the memories of the past, treating me as that gentle and considerate older brother, and you still hold onto a sliver of hope."

"Sasuke! To me, you are my new light! You are my backup eyes!"

Itachi Uchiha stretched out a hand, his cheeks flushed with a sickly redness, and his smile gradually became eerie.

"The Uchiha clan is a clan that killed their friends for the Mangekyou Sharingan, killed their parents and brothers for eternal eye power, and has always boasted about this power."

"When you were born into the Uchiha clan, you were destined to be drawn into this bloody fate of fratricide."

Two kaleidoscopes spun like windmills in Itachi's eye sockets, unleashing a chilling killing intent.

"Come, little brother! I will kill you, freeing myself from the fate of this clan and elevating me to the level of Uchiha Madara!"

"We are each other's spare eyes! This is the bond between brothers of the Uchiha clan!"

Uchiha Itachi, who was always solemn and indifferent, suddenly burst into a grotesque, exaggerated laugh, his face contorted in a hideous manner, as if he had gone mad.

"Hahahaha!!!"

"So, it really was for something so trivial..."

Uchiha Sasuke remained silent for a long time, then suddenly raised his head, a fleeting look of disappointment and pity in his eyes.

Then it transformed into a bottomless hatred and an almost tangible killing intent, like a pair of poisoned daggers, fixed on Uchiha Itachi, ready to pierce him.

"I will no longer be confused. I will sever the bonds of hatred between us brothers right here and now!"

"That's right, let the child of prophecy be born right here."

Uchiha Itachi's maniacal laughter gradually faded from his face. He suddenly opened his right eye wide, the white of his eye was bloodshot, and a line of blood rolled down from the corner of his eye to his chin.

"Next, it'll be a deathmatch where we communicate with our eyes!"

Amaterasu!

The raging black flames swept towards Uchiha Sasuke, covering the sky.

Like a mirror image, Sasuke Uchiha also strained to open his left eye, tears of blood streaming down his face.

The black flames are no less powerful than those of Itachi Uchiha, blazing fiercely!

The two streams of black flame devoured and collided with each other, finally scattering down like a celestial maiden scattering flowers, melting everything in their path, whether rocks or ruins, into nothingness.

"Amaterasu, the same kaleidoscope eye technique as mine..."

Not only his left eye, but also blood was seeping from Itachi's mouth and nose, but he didn't care at all. Instead, an inexplicable smile appeared on his lips.

"Itachi, how much longer can your body and eyesight hold out?"

Sasuke Uchiha's eyes shone brilliantly with six-pointed stars, and he spoke coldly.

"Ha, it doesn't matter anymore, a new light is right before my eyes."

Coughing out a mouthful of blood, Itachi Uchiha formed hand seals in front of his chest, and his orange-red chakra surged forth like a volcanic eruption.

Even if we both have the Mangekyou Sharingan and the same eye technique, our eye power is still worlds apart.

Translucent red bones grew from the pillar-like spine, then wrapped around the veins and flesh, covered the Tengu armor, and rose higher and higher, reaching the ceiling of the cave in an instant.

Susanoo!

"The power of the gods, Susanoo, isn't something only you possess! Itachi!"

Uchiha Sasuke gave a low shout and performed the hand seals in the same manner.

The chakra solidified instantly, and a purple giant rose from the ground.

"Boom!"

The two Susanoo simultaneously crashed through the cave walls and ceiling, causing the earth to shake violently.

-

"By boarding this wooden boat and drifting with the current, you will reach Kyushu Island."

A thick, long wooden stick retracted into the palm of Uchiha Senmon. On the eastern beach of Turtle Island, a large ship that Uchiha Senmon had conjured using Wood Release techniques was already moored.

While the Uchiha Sage was multitasking, he sent Professor Nagayama and the Navy Captain to the seaside to build a wooden boat, and focused most of his sensory abilities on the main peak of Turtle Island.

"They haven't made a move, but judging from their disordered aura, they're probably testing each other with illusions, and it seems like neither side has gained the upper hand."

Just then, Uchiha Senmon's expression suddenly changed, and he turned to look behind him.

"boom!"

The island of Turtle shook violently, and then the main peak collapsed and broke in the middle, unleashing a torrent of black Amaterasu fire that turned everything in its path to ashes.

Two Susanoo, one red and one purple, as large as mountains, appeared before Uchiha Senmon.

As expected, the battle must be decided by Susanoo!

Uchiha Senmon's heart sank.

After a brief standoff, Itachi and Sasuke's Susanoo began to engage in fierce combat.

The purple Susanoo raised the Indra Arrow, which was wrapped with the Chidori Stream, and shot it towards Uchiha Itachi.

Uchiha Itachi coughed up blood as he struggled to control his red Susanoo, spewing out a blazing stream of light from the gourd's mouth that shattered all the arrows.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

"Boom boom boom!"

The fierce battle between Susanoo was like a meteorite collision, the sound reverberating for dozens of miles, even affecting the edge of Turtle Island.

The once calm sea is now whipped up by a fierce wind and waves, making Professor Nagayama and his companion on the wooden boat tremble with fear.

"Take your phones. Once you're rescued, spread the news of the apocalypse to as many people as possible as quickly as possible!"

Uchiha Senmon, with a solemn expression, tossed the satellite phone into Professor Nagayama's arms and gave it a push.

The huge wooden boat glided into the sea as if it were nothing, cutting through the waves.

"Ah, ahh! It's sinking, it's sinking!"

Professor Changshan, filled with trepidation, cried out a few times before finally mustering the courage to open one eye.

The wooden ship, built with extraordinary power, was of impeccable quality. Even standing on the deck amidst such storms, they felt as if they were walking on flat ground.

In the distance, towards Turtle Island, raging waves swept across the sea, creating a towering pillar between the sea and the sky, echoing the thickening thunderclouds above.

"Is the battle about to be decided...?"

Using the Kamui of his left eye, Uchiha Senmon teleported to a hill beside the broken main peak, overlooking the battle from above.

The orange-red Susanoo had firmly gained the upper hand. As the Totsuka Blade struck, the purple Susanoo's armor was gradually stripped away, and it was forced to retreat step by step.

Although Sasuke Uchiha was healthier and had clearer eyesight than Itachi Uchiha, Itachi was still superior in terms of the completeness of his Susanoo.

Furthermore, Itachi Uchiha's Susanoo also wielded the invincible divine weapon, the Totsuka Blade.

"Bang!"

With another unstoppable slash, the purple Susanoo flickered uncertainly a few times before beginning to crumble.

"As expected, it's Itachi Uchiha's victory."

Uchiha Senmon was filled with mixed emotions, his face a complex mix of feelings. He murmured, "The Child of Prophecy has been chosen. It is Uchiha Itachi."

"Ugh, cough cough!"

Covered in wounds, Sasuke Uchiha knelt on the ground, spitting out a pool of blood, looking utterly wretched.

However, even as the victor, Itachi Uchiha was in a terrible state. Both of his eyes were bleeding, and one of his eyes was almost closed, with the pupil turning white and he was nearly blind.

The armor and flesh covering his Susanoo gradually faded, leaving only the first stage of skeletal Susanoo.

"I... won... Sasuke, give me your eyes!"

"It's not over yet!"

Desperate and fighting like a cornered beast, Uchiha Sasuke let out a heart-wrenching roar, clenching his fists:

"Fire Release: Great Fire Dragon Technique!"

A fire dragon, seven or eight meters long, bared its fangs and claws, shot out, and lunged at Uchiha Itachi.

"Pfft pfft pfft!"

Susanoo simply raised its right arm to block, and the Great Fire Dragon collapsed instantly, without even catching a tinder of Itachi Uchiha's clothes.

"Great Fire Dragon Technique!"

"Powerful...Fire Dragon... Technique!"

Exhausted, Uchiha Sasuke squeezed out all the strength in his body and unleashed one powerful fire dragon after another.

Their desperate attempt was completely blocked by Susanoo's absolute defense.

At this moment, Uchiha Sasuke was on the verge of despair, squatting on the ground, panting heavily.

The black flames of Amaterasu mingled with ordinary fire, burning fiercely and distorting the atmosphere with their scorching heat.

After a clap of thunder, the rain began to fall lightly, then gradually intensified, becoming so dense that it was impossible to open one's eyes.

"Did you lose your mind when you were cornered...?"

Uchiha Itachi, hiding inside Susanoo, walked toward Uchiha Sasuke, who was powerless to fight back.

"How could a fire jutsu of this level possibly be effective against Susanoo... It's just a waste of energy..."

Suddenly, Uchiha Sasuke lowered his head, then raised his left hand high, and crackling blue electricity surged through it.

"This should be the last spell I use..."

"Stop bluffing."

Blood streamed freely down Itachi Uchiha's cheeks as he forced a smile:

"The Sharingan is an eye that can see through everything. Your power has been completely exhausted, and you can't even unleash a single Lightning Blade now..."

"My power is exhausted, but it is also ready. The divine punishment that can kill you in an instant is ready."

The torrential rain washed away the bloodstains on Uchiha Sasuke's face, but it could not extinguish the fire of revenge in his eyes.

"Could it be!?"

Uchiha Itachi was startled and looked up.

Lightning flashed and disappeared in the dark clouds, followed by a deafening roar. A gap was torn open in the clouds stretching for dozens of miles, revealing a ferocious dragon head covered in horns and scales, peering down menacingly.

"Qilin!"

Uchiha Sasuke swung his left hand, crackling with electricity, downwards, drawing upon the terrifying wrath of the thunder god.

A massive bolt of lightning, capable of cleaving the sky in two, descended from the heavens and engulfed the orange-red Susanoo.

"Let it vanish into thin air with a thunderous roar."
