I became Hokage in Tokyo

Chapters 467 and 468: When did you start having the illusion that I wasn't using the Sharingan?

"The Sand Shukaku..."

Standing atop the wooden dragon head, Uchiha Senmon activated his Kamui Mangekyou Sharingan in his left eye, gazing at Shukaku, who was wrestling with the Tree World Advent with the power to uproot mountains and shatter seas, and murmured:

"A power beyond comprehension! Its abilities are Wind Release and Magnet Release, exactly like Yamashita Toru's!"

When the Uchiha Sage gave Sasuke Itachi's Sharingan on Turtle Island, he sensed a violent and immense energy descending from the north along with the Crimson Moon.

It's a tailed beast!

He had originally planned to go to the United States to see the Four-Tailed Fox after his eye transplant surgery, so he wouldn't have to go to such lengths.

Not everyone possesses Wood Release like the Uchiha Senmon, with amazing regenerative abilities and the Sharingan that can be used instantly.

Sasuke needed time to adapt to his new Mangekyou Sharingan and was still recuperating when Uchiha Senmon used Kamui to teleport to Aomori Prefecture all by himself.

Shukaku broke through the defenses and headed towards the city. At the critical moment, Uchiha Senmon used Wood Release to immobilize the One-Tailed Beast.

"It's Lord Uchiha's extraordinary ability!"

"Hooray! The reinforcements from the Occult Bureau have finally arrived!"

"Go, Chief Uchiha! Avenge our brothers! Take down that fat tanuki!"

The remnants of the Self-Defense Forces who had miraculously survived the training exercise saw the sand dunes transformed into an oasis through afforestation, and their morale, which had plummeted to rock bottom, was instantly boosted.

Under the catalysis of the Uchiha Sage Gate, giant trees resembling dragons and pythons climbed and wrapped around Shukaku's limbs and tail, suppressing him tightly.

"What incredible strength!"

Uchiha Senmon clasped his hands together and frowned.

The immense strength of Shukaku, the One-Tailed Beast, is comparable to that of Susanoo!

If you only rely on Wood Release, you can hold it off for a while, but eventually it will break free of its cage.

"roar!"

Enraged, Shukaku suddenly raised its head and spat out a huge black orb of light at Uchiha Senmon.

Even the Uchiha Immortal Sect paled at this moment, a chill of unprecedented dread washing over them.

"The Tailed Beast Ball that destroyed Idaho City?!"

A Tailed Beast Ball, over five meters in diameter, carrying a ferocious flame capable of destroying everything, shot towards us.

Uchiha Senmon glanced at the city behind him.

If they had evaded the attack, Mutsu City would have followed in Idaho City's footsteps, being razed to the ground and losing all of its hundreds of thousands of residents.

"Wood Release: Wood Man Technique"

With a clap of his hands, Uchiha Senmon gritted his teeth and let out a low growl.

The wooden dragon beneath their feet sprouted branches and intertwined roots, transforming in the blink of an eye into a wooden figure nearly fifty meters tall.

The majestic wooden figure extended a giant hand that blotted out the sky, caught Shukaku's Tailed Beast Ball, and then hurled it with all its might toward the Pacific Ocean to the east!

"Boom!"

A massive golden fireball shot into the sky from the coastline, and the churning, boiling seawater surged up like a storm, falling towards an area of ​​ten miles in radius.

Crackle, crackle.

"It's practically a typhoon!"

The third-class lieutenant, drenched in seawater, stood there dumbfounded, his cheeks stinging from the rain, and then, as if possessed, licked them.

Bah, rainwater isn't that salty.

Before the Uchiha Sage could even relax after deflecting the Tailed Beast Ball, he looked closely and saw that Shukaku had opened its mouth again, and a second Tailed Beast Ball was about to be spat out.

Kamui!

The triangular windmill shape in Uchiha Senmon's left eye socket kept spinning.

Killing with his eyes, Shukaku's tanuki head was torn apart by the spatial vortex and exploded into a sky full of yellow sand.

However, the Uchiha Senmon's gaze remained cold and unmoved.

His Sharingan is as clear as a candle flame. Even after using a powerful move like the Tailed Beast Ball and being blown in the head, Shukaku's aura remains undiminished and immeasurable.

The quicksand at the severed neck writhed and reshaped Shukaku's head at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Awooohoo!"

The enraged tail opened its massive maw, and countless black specks of light coalesced, exuding a terrifying and destructive aura.

The third Tailed Beast Ball!

Uchiha Senmon acted first, opening his left Mangekyou Sharingan wide to meet Shukaku's enormous beast eye.

"Waaah..."

Shukaku's enormous, coin-shaped eyes, as large as hot air balloons, revealed three black tomoe.

The tailed beast ball in its mouth dissipated, and Shukaku, the only tailed beast, lay still, like a sand dune.

"The eye power that can even tame tailed beasts, the Mangekyou Sharingan of the Uchiha clan is indeed powerful."

Uchiha Senmon took a deep breath, raised his left hand to press his heavy left eyelid, and showed some fatigue on his face.

He moved the wooden doll closer to Shukaku, then leaped from the doll's head and landed on Shukaku's head, which was under the hypnosis of the kaleidoscope.

"Whether it can destroy the world is unknown, but a single Shukaku would be more than enough to destroy human civilization in the Japanese archipelago."

The destructive power of the One-Tailed Beast Ball is no less than that of a tactical nuclear weapon.

Even the full power of a Kage-level expert is less than a fraction of the power of a Tailed Beast Ball.

If it were that the Tailed Beast Ball required a long time to recharge after each use, that would be one thing, but Shukaku managed to accumulate three Tailed Beast Balls in a row without even breaking a sweat, making it even easier and more comfortable than a human whistling.

No matter how much the crane squanders its energy, the energy within it remains overwhelming and inexhaustible.

Using the Tailed Beast Ball is like an instinct for Shukaku; it's effortless, flexible, and convenient.

To make matters worse, Senmon Uchiha used Kamui to snap Shukaku's head off, confirming that the Tailed Beasts were immortal.

A tireless, immortal monster capable of unleashing nuclear-level damage at will.

This would be a catastrophe for modern society.

"boom."

Uchiha Senmon manipulated Shukaku to retrace its steps back to the Sarutobi Sand Dunes, causing the earth to tremble with each step.

"Moreover... there are actually nine such monsters, including the One-Tailed Shukaku and the Four-Tailed Sage Monkey King."

The power of the Mangekyou Sharingan can indeed control tailed beasts, but controlling even one Shukaku is extremely difficult. Even with the most optimistic estimates, after controlling the second tailed beast, the Uchiha Senmon would have no more strength left.

"I wonder how Shukaku's power ranks among the nine tailed beasts? If it's the weakest, then even the second tailed beast might not be able to hypnotize it."

Shukaku stood obediently in the middle of the sand dunes in the Sarutobi Forest, while Uchiha Senmon fell into deep thought.

Influenced by the Nine-Tailed Fox's infamous reputation, the Uchiha Sage Sect subconsciously ranked the strength of the tailed beasts based on the number of their tails.

Suddenly, Uchiha Senmon seemed to sense something and looked up at the sky.

-

"Why did Shukaku, who was going berserk, suddenly calm down? And he was even ridden by Uchiha Senmon, as docile as a kitten."

Inside the Prime Minister's official residence in Chiyoda, the cabinet officials surrounding the large screen were all utterly astonished and speechless.

"Look closely at Shukaku's eyes; the patterns appearing inside are the tomoe of the Sharingan!"

"Has this monster been subdued by the Uchiha Sage Mode?"

"The Mangekyou Sharingan originates from the Divine Tree and can control the nine tailed beasts of the same origin. Didn't I tell you all about that before?"

Professor Changshan, his face flushed, slapped his thigh, pointed at the satellite image, and began to speak eloquently and with dramatic intonation:

"After the emergence of the two tailed beasts, the Celestial Monkey King and Shukaku, you were still suspicious and refused to believe what I saw and heard on Turtle Island! Now look again! Facts speak louder than words!"

Finally, it was Professor Nagayama's turn to finally get his revenge.

The cabinet ministers looked embarrassed and rather awkward.

After all, the Divine Tree, the Ten-Tails, Madara Uchiha and Izanami, and the fact that the Uchiha clan are descendants of the founding god Izanagi—all these myths and legends are too fantastical.

It's no surprise that their old-fashioned worldview was shattered and they couldn't accept it.

"Anyway, Shukaku's rebellion has been quelled! Yay!"

"If another Yokota bombing tragedy were to occur, Japan would truly be finished."

The cabinet's superiors were celebrating their victory when they were abruptly interrupted by the deputy prime minister, who had a dark expression on his face.

"Are you idiots? The Uchiha Sage isn't the head of the Supernatural Affairs Agency anymore; he's already defected!"

The Deputy Prime Minister was furious with these incompetent fools who held their positions without doing any work:

"Now that we've gained the One-Tailed Shukaku, it's like adding wings to a tiger. What if the Uchiha Sage Sect controls Shukaku to attack us!?"

The bigwigs present exchanged glances, wisely keeping their mouths shut and remaining silent.

"Damn it, aren't there any restrictions on the black orbs of light spewed out by the tailed beasts?"

The deputy prime minister, overwhelmed with worry, paced back and forth anxiously.

"Looking at the one-tailed creature, it's easier to vomit than to look like that!"

The four-tailed Goku used a similar technique in the United States, destroying a city with a single shot.

According to the expert group and think tank, a powerful move like the black orb will definitely require a long time to build up; it can't be used just because you want to.

It seems that the tailed beasts can use black light orbs whenever they want, without any difficulty.

This is absolutely terrible news.

"Prime Minister, please calm down. Chief Uchiha is not that kind of person."

Professor Changshan boldly offered the following advice:

"We must immediately send someone to contact Chief Uchiha to clear up the misunderstandings and conflicts between us. With the tailed beasts appearing one after another, the end of the world may very well be coming. Japan... no, humanity desperately needs the power of the Uchiha!"

"Yes, Professor Nagayama is absolutely right."

The Deputy Prime Minister, his feverish mind cooling slightly, nodded repeatedly and quickly gave the order:

"Now let those present..."

"Oh no, Senmon Uchiha has disappeared from Shukaku's head."

"What!?"

Just as everyone in the conference room was at a loss, a rift was torn open in mid-air, and a figure that everyone recognized appeared.

"You guys seem to be talking about me?"

Uchiha Senmon, whose expression remained calm, had his left eye's Kamui Mangekyou Sharingan flashing with an eerie red light.

The Deputy Prime Minister, Professor Nagayama, and other dignitaries looked like mice being watched by a cat, trembling with fear and disbelief.

The straight-line distance from Aomori Prefecture to Tokyo is nearly 900 kilometers, yet the Uchiha Senmon arrived in an instant.

A Kage-level powerhouse, terrifying indeed!

"Wait a minute, the Mangekyou Sharingan in Chief Uchiha's left eye is the same Sharingan that Tobi, who was killed by Lord Taizan, possessed?"

Professor Nagayama, who was the first to notice something amiss, narrowed his eyes and was immediately filled with suspicion and uncertainty.

"Professor Nagayama is here too."

Senmon Uchiha noticed Professor Nagayama's gaze and glanced at him with a cold, emotionless look, saying indifferently:

"When I asked you to leave Turtle Island, I told you to reveal the whole truth. But it seems you didn't do as I said."

The Self-Defense Forces' piecemeal tactics against Shukaku are utterly ineffective except for increasing casualties.

If the Uchiha Sage hadn't intervened personally, who knows how much trouble they would have caused.

Although the Uchiha Sage didn't seem angry, his immense power and subtle pressure still caused Professor Nagayama to break out in a cold sweat. He immediately retorted:

"I'm just a powerless and insignificant scholar! It's a long story..."

"It's a long story, I'll see for myself."

With a single glance, Uchiha Senmon captivated Professor Nagayama, using his Sharingan to read his memories.

After Professor Nagayama left Turtle Island, the Uchiha Sage Sect learned everything about the Japanese government's actions, including the blockade of all information about the apocalypse and the tailed beasts by Japan and the United States, and the suspension and investigation of the Twelve God Generals, including Mineko Yuki, because of their involvement.

"I see, short-sighted indeed."

"What's wrong with Professor Nagayama? Oh right, the Sharingan can hypnotize people simply by making eye contact!"

The deputy prime minister was startled and immediately closed his eyes, turning his head away, not daring to face the Uchiha Senmon.

Seeing this, other political figures recalled the Sharingan's abilities from the files and followed suit, closing their eyes and not daring to even breathe.

Unfortunately, the deputy prime minister wanted to hide, and the Uchiha Sage immediately set his sights on him.

"Congratulations, Deputy Prime Minister. Judging from this, you must be the acting prime minister now."

After the current prime minister suffered a stroke, the deputy prime minister took over to oversee the overall situation.

If possible, the Deputy Prime Minister would naturally not want to take on this hot potato.

"Director Uchiha, I can explain, this is all for the sake of the bigger picture..." The Deputy Prime Minister said, his forehead covered in sweat, his tone extremely humble.

A common man's anger can spill blood within five steps; within ten steps, everyone becomes an enemy.

If even someone as mediocre as Yamashita Toru is in such a state, then a Kage-level powerhouse like Uchiha Senmon could obliterate everyone present with a mere flick of his finger.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, isn't it basic courtesy to look the other person in the eye when you speak?"

Only a fool would stare into the eyes of someone with Sharingan eyes!

This would not only expose all the secrets, but also put him under the influence of hypnosis by the Uchiha Sage, taking away his free will, making his fate worse than death.

"Lord Uchiha, your eyes... I dare not look..."

The deputy prime minister smiled ingratiatingly and cautiously.

That's enough.

Uchiha Senmon snorted coldly and said slowly:

"Open your eyes and look at me."

The eyelids of the Deputy Prime Minister and all the dignitaries in the conference room opened uncontrollably, their necks turning like rusty gears towards Uchiha Senmon, meeting his magnificent and dazzling Mangekyou Sharingan.

Their faces were filled with utter horror and shock.

"Impossible... When exactly did I fall under the Sharingan's genjutsu?"

The Deputy Prime Minister, drenched in sweat, stammered.

Even though Uchiha Senmon teleported to the Prime Minister's residence and avoided the Sharingan's gaze, why was he still being controlled?

"When did you start having the misconception that I don't use the Sharingan?"

Uchiha Senmon spoke coldly, enunciating each word clearly.

The "illusory flower in a mirror and the moon in the water" tactic is not only aimed at the Twelve Divine Generals.

Given Uchiha Senmon's previous status, he could meet with Japanese political figures at any time and secretly use his Sharingan to hypnotize them.

"Do you understand? Your lives are entirely in my hands. With just a glance or a command, I can make you line up to jump off Tokyo Tower."

The cabinet ministers, with their wrinkled old faces, were like a dye shop, displaying a variety of colors, from red to purple to black.

Moreover, due to the orders of the Uchiha Sage, his eyelids could not close, they were dry and tearful, making him look like a clown and extremely comical.

"From this moment forward, the Prime Minister's official residence, the center of power in this country, is in my hands. All of you must treat my every word as an imperial edict and execute it without fail."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"
