I became Hokage in Tokyo

Chapters 465 and 466: Hashirama Cells

"The Eternal Kaleidoscope has further enhanced my eye power. Tianyu can not only fabricate a physical body, but also a soul that is indistinguishable from the real thing. Otherwise, he might not have been able to deceive the Sharingan of the Immortal Sect."

Uchiha Naruto, who seemed to float a thousand feet in the air like a god, chuckled softly, his eyes more dazzling and brilliant than the stars in the night sky above.

Beneath Uchiha Naruto's feet, 80 miles west of Yellowstone National Park in the United States, beside the shocking crater on the site of the former city of Idaho, a thousand-meter-high active volcano spews plumes of smoke that blot out the sky and cover the wilderness.

Throughout the long history of the Uchiha clan in the ninja world, there are more than a dozen known pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan, but only Madara Uchiha, the reincarnation of Indra, and Sasuke were able to obtain the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

Just as there is a world of difference between a complete Susanoo and a regular Susanoo, with the blessing of the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, Naruto Uchiha's eye techniques advanced by leaps and bounds, and he had almost grasped the power of creation from nothingness.

The current state of Tianyu is so dire that even the Kaleidoscope and Reincarnation Eyes couldn't see through it!

"The Divine Tree, the Ten-Tails, Madara Uchiha with Izanagi, Hashirama Izanami... these myths I created are becoming reality as the tailed beasts gradually revive after the crimson moon shines in the sky." Naruto Uchiha's eyes gleamed.

The power system and character settings of Naruto are inextricably linked to Japanese mythology.

Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, and Susanoo are not only eye techniques of the Uchiha clan, but also the prototypes of many characters in Naruto, who are deities from the Kojiki (ancient historical records).

The prototype of Uchiha Sasuke is Amatsukami Takemikazuchi.

Takemikazuchi is the god of archery and lightning, which matches Sasuke's abilities. Moreover, Takemikazuchi's most famous feat was during the struggle between Amatsukami and Kunitsukami to rule Japan, where he fought and wrestled with Takeminakata, the son of Ōkuninushi, and both of them broke an arm.

Just like in the battle at the Valley of the End, Naruto and Sasuke were both severely injured and lost their wrists.

Madara Uchiha's defeat at the hands of Hashirama Senju, where he used the eye technique Izanagi to feign death and escape, corresponds perfectly to Izanagi's return from the Land of the Dead in mythology.

Inspired by this, Uchiha Naruto adapted to local conditions and, drawing on Japanese mythology, fabricated a series of true and false tales from the Age of Gods.

Izanagi (Uchiha Madara) and Izanami, who were born from the Divine Tree, became enemies in their struggle for the fruit of the Divine Tree.

The source of the creation, destruction, and reincarnation of the divine era lies in the love, hatred, and grudges between the two. This is almost the final draft.

Of course, besides Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju, Naruto Uchiha also incorporated the experiences of other characters, such as Kaguya Otsutsuki, the Sage of Six Paths, and the shadows of Sasuke and Naruto.

The Akatsuki leader Pain and another final boss have also been arranged, and they are just waiting for the curtain to rise.

In conclusion, the intricate web of grudges and entanglements between the Uchiha clan and the Akatsuki organization has been laid out, and Naruto Uchiha has prepared a self-consistent and convincing explanation of the divine era background.

Perhaps upon closer examination, some doubts may arise, but "facts speak louder than words"!

With the nine tailed beasts summoned by the Crimson Moon, and these eyes, Naruto Uchiha can turn lies and dreams into reality.

"Hmph, ungrateful wretch."

Suddenly, Uchiha Naruto's smile vanished, and he let out a cold snort.

The divine era background he painstakingly fabricated was not just to appease the immortal sects, but to spread throughout the world, so that everyone would know about it.

By laying out plans at the ruins of Turtle Island and using fragmented legends, Naruto Uchiha laid some bait to attract national-level forces, intending to convey relevant intelligence.

Hidden behind the scenes, Uchiha Naruto manipulates invisible threads, controlling Professor Nagayama, an authority on Japanese mythology and folklore, and another American agent, ensuring their survival time and again from perilous crises. Through a series of coincidences, they witness the Ten-Tails mural and the secrets of the Divine Tree, all with the aim of getting the two to smuggle information out.

A few days ago, shortly after Professor Nagayama and his companion left Turtle Island by boat, they were "luckily" encountered a Japanese fishing boat and were then rescued by the Japan Coast Guard in a great hurry.

Naruto Uchiha naturally had channels to confirm that information about the apocalypse and the "truth" about the Age of Gods had been obtained by high-ranking officials in both Japan and the United States.

Even though the end of the world is very likely to come during the Mid-Autumn Festival full moon next month, Japan and the United States have no intention of making it public to the public or the world. On the contrary, they are taking strict precautions and blocking the news.

"Throughout countless millennia, only the folly of mortals is eternal."

Even the end of the world cannot stop humans from scheming against each other and pursuing their own selfish interests.

Or perhaps it's because only the four-tailed beast has appeared so far, allowing some people to still harbor illusions.

"They really won't shed a tear until they see the coffin."

A hint of mockery appeared in Naruto Uchiha's eyes.

Although he wouldn't mind adding fuel to the fire, his trip to the United States tonight was still to see the Four-Tailed Monkey King and verify some of his whimsical views.

From his vantage point, Naruto Uchiha looked down and saw the active volcano rising from the ground where the Four-Tails had split the mountain, as well as the surrounding martial law military camps.

The four-tailed Goku's Tailed Beast Ball destroyed Idaho, causing a far greater blow to the United States than Pearl Harbor and 9/11.

Large-scale protests have erupted in states across the United States, with some escalating into riots or even zero-dollar purchases.

If the Four-Tails hadn't inexplicably stopped and hidden in the volcano, who knows how much more trouble it would have caused.

Even so, many civilians from Idaho and Wyoming sought refuge in other states or even fled overseas.

The shadow of doomsday drifted across the ocean from the United States, enveloping the entire world, worsening the situation, and causing widespread panic.

After the four-tailed Goku hid in the volcano, the military immediately declared the surrounding area a restricted zone. In addition to a large number of military personnel, many researchers were also coming and going in the camp.

The Four-Tails, whose resurrection is uncertain, hangs like the Sword of Damocles over this country.

Naruto Uchiha had a vague idea as to why the Four-Tails was moving towards Tokyo and why it fell asleep halfway through.

Although it was just a vague premonition, he felt it was pretty much true. This trip to the United States was just to confirm things after finishing up with the matters of Turtle Island and the Uchiha ruins.

"untie."

Uchiha Naruto raised his right hand in a sword-like gesture, his eyes narrowed, and dispelled the aura concealment that Tenyu had placed on him.

Unaware of what was happening to anyone in the camp beneath his feet, Naruto Uchiha unleashed a torrent of chakra.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the volcano erupted, the earth shook, and chaos erupted in the surrounding camps.

"What?! What happened?!"

"Oh no! That monster called the Four-Tailed Beast has awakened!"

"Evacuate! Evacuate, quickly!"

As a torrent of fire erupted from the crater, the head of a gorilla with horns burst forth from the thick smoke and flames. Its two sun-like eyes suddenly glared at the sky, and it opened its mouth to unleash a furious and earth-shattering roar.

"Awoooooo!!!"

"Just as I thought, they came for me."

In the direction that the Four-Tails Son Goku was looking, Uchiha Naruto stood concealed in the void, staring at it with a thoughtful expression.

"It's an extraordinary synergistic effect!"

Naruto Uchiha gave a strange smile and shook his head.

The moment the Four-Tails descended upon Yellowstone Park with the crimson moon, Naruto Uchiha sensed with uncanny precision that a terrifying yet sacred calamity had appeared, and accurately identified it as the Four-Tails, one of the nine tailed beasts.

Furthermore, the tailed beasts seemed to be able to sense Naruto Uchiha's true form and moved toward his location.

"Is Scarlet Moon planning to send a tailed beast to devour me?"

Naruto Uchiha curled his lip indifferently, his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan blazing with brilliant red light as it locked onto the eyes of the Four-Tails, Son Goku:

"If it were a nine-tailed fox, I might have some reservations, but how could a mere four-tailed fox possibly be my match..."

Although the Tailed Beasts are regarded by ninjas as monsters materialized from natural disasters, they are not savage beasts. They are also living beings with blood and tears, and they cherish the names given to them by the Sage of Six Paths.

However, the ninjas used the Tailed Beasts as weapons of war to capture and persecute them, sealing them inside Jinchuriki and depriving them of their freedom. This caused the Tailed Beasts' resentment and hatred to accumulate, and they would use the Tailed Beast Ball to destroy everything at the first opportunity, which was a huge news story.

However, Naruto Uchiha was certain that the Four-Tails in front of him was nothing more than a huge aggregate of berserk chakra, and there was nothing in its eyes except bestiality.

It's just an empty shell with power but no soul.

With Naruto Uchiha's Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, he could control the Four-Tails with just a glance.

As the earth crumbled and mountains collapsed, the volcano's disintegration intensified. The Four-Tails Son Goku was just one step away from breaking free from the volcano and launching an attack on Uchiha Naruto.

"Tianyu is working for them."

Naruto Uchiha curled the corners of his mouth, his eyes shining like stars.

The power of the Eternal Kaleidoscope swept out, covering the entire body, and transformed into a completely different aura.

Even if it were a perception-type superhuman like Uchiha Senmon or Tsukimi no Inaba, who possess special eye powers, it would be impossible for them to detect that this was Uchiha Naruto based on the nature of his chakra.

Sun Wukong, who was raging and unleashing his power, suddenly froze in place like a headless fly.

"roar."

After losing its target, the four-tailed Goku roared in impotent rage a few times before retreating back to its lair in the volcano.

"What happened? Why did the Four-Tails stop?"

The people running for their lives inside and outside the camp looked at each other in dismay. Although it was just a false alarm, they were still shaken.

"Anyway, this is great, this is great!"

Even high-ranking military officers who knew the inside story were terrified, because in the worst-case scenario of the Four-Tails being grumpy in the morning, a high-yield nuclear warhead that had already locked onto its target could be dropped.

"Tianyu's act of selling himself out is essentially using his eye power to create a disguise and fabricate fakes, but if I could obtain the power of the Six Paths, I could truly create life!"

Naruto Uchiha pursed his lips, a burning ambition blazing within his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

He reached behind his right hand and found a vial of reagent in his palm, containing a crystal-clear liquid that was wriggling inside.

Hashirama Cells (Asura Power)!

A unique item in the system shop, priced at 10000 Ninja Orbs.

The two-faced demon, after being forced to self-destruct by the Uchiha Sage Gate, provided Uchiha Naruto with a large amount of Ninja Orbs. Combined with the remaining Ninja Orbs, it barely amounted to a full 10,000 points.

Only those who inherit Indra's chakra can awaken the Rinnegan by transplanting the body or cells of those who are reincarnated from Ashura's chakra.

"These are the Hashirama cells. The vitality within them is so immense, it's almost as if they're alive."

Naruto Uchiha stroked the glass bottle of reagent with a look of surprise on his face, the burning desire in his eyes impossible to conceal.

Hashirama cells are a crucial element throughout Naruto, from the very end to the finale. They not only grant the recipient the power of Wood Release, but also significantly enhance their physical energy, giving them incredible vitality.

In some ways, it's practically a panacea!

Unfortunately, the corrosive nature of Hashirama's cells was too strong. Orochimaru and Danzo secretly used Hashirama's cells to conduct human experiments. The rejection reaction caused all the test subjects to die, and only Yamato survived and was able to use Wood Release.

Danzo himself obtained the power of Wood Release by balancing his ten Sharingan eyes with an artificial arm made from transplanted Hashirama cells.

However, the backlash from Hashirama's cells was no problem at all for Naruto Uchiha, whose Wood Release ninjutsu had reached its maximum level.

"I am so grateful to the Immortal Sect," Uchiha Naruto said repeatedly.

Not only did he freeload off the Mangekyou Sharingan power granted by the Immortal Sect when they opened their Sharingan, but he also upgraded his own Sharingan to the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan. His Level 4 Wood Release was also honed through arduous training by the Immortal Sect.

The "Two-Faced Demon" Ninja Jade Gift Pack was even obtained through the intervention of the Immortal Sect.

If it weren't for the efforts of the Immortal Clan, how could Naruto Uchiha have awakened the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan while lying down, and was even preparing to awaken the Rinnegan?

Reluctantly putting away the Hashirama cells, Naruto Uchiha glanced at the Four-Tails, which was already dormant in the active volcano, and smiled softly.

"Let's just exchange greetings today."

Naruto Uchiha doesn't plan to subdue the Four-Tails Son Goku right now.

It is foreseeable that the nine tailed beasts will descend one after another in the near future. In the script planned by Uchiha Naruto, these tailed beasts are also important supporting characters.

Or perhaps it's more accurate to say it's an important prop.

As the sole player, one cannot simply look one step at a time; one must have the insight to see three steps ahead.

Furthermore, Naruto Uchiha wanted to use the Tailed Beasts and other extraordinary individuals as practice for sealing Jinchuriki, as a warm-up for becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki and mastering the power of the Six Paths!

"You beasts, let the immortal sects catch you."

Naruto Uchiha finished packing and prepared to activate Kamui to teleport back to the secret realm.

"Before I can subdue the nine tailed beasts and become the Ten-Tails' jinchūriki, I must first awaken the Rinnegan!"

Just then, a familiar feeling of palpitation came from the night sky once again.

He looked up and saw the Crimson Moon appear once again.

"This aura is descending upon Japan!"

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night for countless people around the world.

"Shukaku-chan..."
