I became Hokage in Tokyo

Chapters 473 and 474: The Third Tailed Beast

"Uchiha Rebound!"

Uchiha Senmon's flying dragon soared into the air, holding a flame fan in one hand, and deflected it downwards at the Nine-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball, which was several times larger than his entire body.

"It's so heavy."

The moment he touched the Tailed Beast Ball, Uchiha Senmon gritted his teeth, and an unstoppable divine wind burst forth from his fan.

The Tailed Beast Ball sped along its original path at an even faster speed than when it had been launched.

The Nine-Tailed Fox never expected the boomerang to hit her. Before she could dodge, she was struck by the Tailed Beast Ball.

"Boom!"

Amidst a deafening explosion, a massive pillar of fire, as large as a mountain, shot into the sky, even dispersing the thick, chaotic clouds that had obscured the moon.

The vaporized seawater created a white mist, but it couldn't obscure the vision of Uchiha Senmon, who possessed the Sharingan.

The nine-tailed fox was unharmed, except that its gorgeous and dazzling fur, which drove all women crazy, was partially charred and disheveled.

"Taken a Tailed Beast Ball head-on and only suffered minor injuries. Truly a monster..."

A deep sense of apprehension flashed in Uchiha Senmon's eyes as he whispered.

"Ooh, quack quack..."

The nine-tailed fox crouched down, its four legs treading on the waves, baring its teeth at the Uchiha Sagemon and letting out a wild, guttural growl from its throat.

The hatred and rage in the enormous beast's eyes, once unleashed, could turn an entire vast ocean into a dead sea.

A bead of cold sweat rolled down the forehead of the Uchiha Immortal Gate, which was locked onto by this extremely violent and ferocious malice.

Wounded wild animals are the most dangerous!

"I see. The Nine-Tailed Fox is also a sensory type, a malicious sensory type, is that right...?"

While dodging the first Nine-Tailed Beast Ball, Uchiha Senmon jumped into the water and swam to an area several miles away. He was immediately discovered by the Nine-Tailed Fox, who then unleashed a second Tailed Beast Ball.

The Uchiha Senmon, on high alert, gripped the Flame Fan so tightly that the fingers of his left hand turned white.

The nine-tailed fox was the strongest enemy he had ever encountered in his life; perhaps only the Lord of Mount Tai could be compared to him.

Fortunately, the Uchiha clan's artifact in his hand could deflect all attacks; otherwise, he would have had to temporarily evade the overwhelming force of the Tailed Beast Ball.

"According to the original plan, we need to lure the Nine-Tailed Fox to the vicinity of Iwo Jima. Otherwise, I won't be able to act freely."

Uchiha Senmon's expression shifted, and he continued racing towards Iwo Jima, which was already in sight, as he waded through the tide.

Staring at the tiny figure moving swiftly across the turbulent sea, the nine-tailed fox's vertical beast eyes pulsated with boiling killing intent, and it opened its massive maw once more.

Countless black particles, radiating a violent aura, converged in front of his mouth at a visible speed.

"Another Tailed Beast Ball? No!"

Always on guard, the Uchiha Sage Sect behind them stopped in their tracks, ready to counterattack with their Uchiha fans at any moment.

Just then, Uchiha Senmon turned around in shock and his expression changed drastically.

The Nine-Tailed Fox didn't just mention one Tailed Beast Ball, but two.

Moreover, it rotates rapidly, like a twin star system.

Continuous Tailed Beast Balls!

"We can't use the Uchiha fan to deflect it!"

In the blink of an eye, Uchiha Senmon had already realized what was happening and sped away across the sea like a dragon.

"As the first Tailed Beast Ball is deflected, the second Tailed Beast Ball will explode."

In an instant, the Nine-Tailed Fox unleashed a barrage of Tailed Beast Balls that crashed down upon them.

"Boom—!"

Like the sun falling into the sea, the dark ocean suddenly became brighter than daytime. After the huge fireball exploded, the seawater surged up into towering columns, and the sea surface boiled like porridge.

Amidst the tidal wave of massive amounts of seawater crashing down, an inconspicuous little black dot, propelled by the explosion of the Tailed Beast Ball, landed on the beach east of Iwo Jima.

"cough."

After swaying slightly and regaining his footing, Uchiha Senmon felt a sweet taste in his throat and coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Even though they did their best to escape to the farthest point immediately, they were still almost caught in the Tailed Beast Ball.

Fortunately, the indestructible Flame Fan blocked most of the damage; otherwise, the Uchiha Immortal Sect wouldn't have been able to recover from just spitting out blood.

With lingering fear, Uchiha Senmon glanced at the fan in his hand, then wiped the seawater off his face and looked back.

"Awooooo!"

The fox demon, dragging its nine orange tails that pierced the clouds, charged towards Iwo Jima with overwhelming force, creating towering waves as it galloped along.

"You've come at the perfect time."

Standing firmly on the ground instead of on the sea, the Uchiha Sage Sect felt a surge of pride, and he looked at the ferocious Nine-Tailed Fox with a piercing gaze.

With a smear of blood on the corner of his mouth, he pressed his right thumb onto the surface of the Flame Fan and gave a low shout.

"Summoning Jutsu: Rooftop Collapse Technique!"

A large, round, purple-striped raccoon, as big as a hill, suddenly appeared on the head of the nine-tailed fox demon, crashing down on the latter's head with the force of Mount Tai.

One-tailed Shukaku!

"Bang!"

The nine-tailed fox suddenly raised its two forearms and simultaneously stretched out its several tails behind it, barely managing to support the enormous weight of Shukaku and avoid being crushed.

With a loud crack, Shukaku's enormous tail lashed out and struck the Nine-Tailed Fox in the face.

"roar!"

Although it wasn't even a minor injury, the nine-tailed fox, feeling humiliated, still roared in anger.

Its unparalleled strength, capable of lifting mountains and breaking rocks, erupted, flipping Shukaku over and slamming it onto the coastline of Iwo Jima.

Shukaku immediately bared its fangs and claws, glaring at the coin-shaped beast eyes marked with Sharingan eyes, and roared defiantly at the Nine-Tailed Fox:

"Awooooooo—!!"

The next moment, Uchiha Senmon flashed onto Shukaku's forehead and confronted the Nine-Tailed Fox with him.

The purpose of luring the Nine-Tailed Fox to Iwo Jima was not only to create a suitable location for the Uchiha clan to use Wood Release, but also to allow the One-Tailed Shukaku to display its power.

The clumsy Shukaku cannot swim.

Perhaps because its body is composed of sand and gravel, Shukaku has a very poor affinity for the ocean and sinks immediately upon contact with water.

It's simply impossible to gallop across the sea as lightly and gracefully as a nine-tailed fox.

"Awooohoo!"

"Ooh-ga-ga-ga!"

When the two tailed beasts, Shukaku and the Nine-Tailed Fox, met, they were like sworn enemies, grinding their teeth and sucking blood at each other, constantly roaring at one another.

"Does Shukaku and the Nine-Tailed Fox have a bad relationship? It seems to be hostile towards Kurama..."

Uchiha Senmon had a fleeting thought, but didn't take it to heart; it was just a passing thought.

"After all, one is a raccoon dog and the other is a fox. Hmph, it's just a coincidence."

Strictly speaking, there is no such animal as a tanuki on the Japanese islands. In Japanese folklore and colloquial speech, tanuki are consistently referred to as "tanuki cats".

But a fox is also a raccoon dog!

Tanuki and foxes are both yokai (supernatural beings) skilled in transformation and illusion to play pranks. As such, they are natural enemies, and in Japanese yokai legends, the relationship between the two yokai groups, tanuki and foxes, is extremely hostile.

According to the legends of Shikoku Island, there was a battle between tanuki (raccoon dogs) and foxes. In the end, the tanuki army defeated the fox army, so there are no foxes as wild animals on Shikoku Island.

Modern folklore interprets the raccoon dog battle as a reflection of reality, where both raccoon dogs and foxes are small canids that primarily feed on mice, sharing an overlapping ecological niche, thus making them life-or-death rivals.

"roar!"

Under the control of the Uchiha Sage, Shukaku, carrying the momentum of uprooting mountains and surpassing the seas, roared and charged towards the Nine-Tailed Fox.

The two enormous creatures fought fiercely with their sharp teeth and claws on the east coast of Iwo Jima.

However, the nine-tailed fox's many long tails shot out and tightly wrapped around Shukaku's limbs and neck, constantly tightening the noose.

"Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique!"

With a flick of his wrist, Uchiha Senmon unleashed a wooden dragon, forty or fifty meters long, that surged forward from beneath Shukaku's feet, attempting to coil and tear at the Nine-Tailed Fox.

Bitten by the wooden dragon and having its chakra drained, the Nine-Tailed Fox, in pain and rage, leaped backward and landed several miles east of Iwo Jima on the sea.

A black sphere of light, larger than any previous Tailed Beast Ball and radiating an aura of destruction, condensed and took shape in the mouth of the fox spirit.

"Shukaku!"

Uchiha Senmon roared, and his mount, Shukaku of the Sand, immediately retaliated with the same Tailed Beast Ball.

"Boom boom boom!"

The two Tailed Beast Balls collided in mid-air, causing a massive explosion. The terrifying power obliterated everything in its path, creating a shocking crater on the eastern coastline of Iwo Jima.

However, the Nine-Tailed Fox's Tailed Beast Ball was stronger than Shukaku's. After shattering the latter's Tailed Beast Ball, it still shot towards the left with unstoppable momentum.

"Uchiha... rebound!"

Uchiha Senmon held the Uchiha fan horizontally in front of him and threw it outwards with difficulty.

The Tailed Beast Ball was launched into the sea twenty or thirty miles away, causing Iwo Jima to shake violently.

"Although I knew the Nine-Tailed Fox was the strongest tailed beast, I never imagined the difference in strength would be so vast!"

Feeling his left wrist go numb from the shock, Uchiha Senmon's gaze toward the Nine-Tailed Fox was more solemn than ever before.

too strong!

Even with the support of the Uchiha Sage Clan, the Nine-Tailed Fox, with its overwhelming ferocity and arrogance, still held an absolute advantage against two opponents.

"Awooooo!"

At that moment, the Nine-Tailed Fox opened its mouth once again, facing Shukaku and Senmon Uchiha on its left, and spat out another world-destroying Tailed Beast Ball.

"If it were just me and Shukaku, we might not be your match."

Uchiha Senmon strained his Sharingan to peer into the distance behind the Nine-Tailed Fox, a strange and dangerous glint in his eyes.

"What if we add a tailed beast that excels in naval warfare, the Nine-Tailed Fox!"

-

"This is terrifying! The power of the tailed beasts is even more terrifying than earthquakes and tsunamis!"

"Only gods and demons can wield this power."

Hundreds of miles away, fleets from various countries, each flying a brightly colored national flag, were tossed about on the turbulent sea, led by a flagship bearing the Stars and Stripes.

Officers and sailors standing on the decks and watchtowers of various warships were frequently thrown to the ground by sudden waves, ending up with bruises and swelling.

Even watching from such a distance, there was not a shred of security.

Knowing that an epic battle would break out in the waters off Iwo Jima, the soldiers who dared to venture into such a dangerous place at this critical moment were all elites from their respective countries, and they still retain a certain level of morale to this day.

"We've already contacted the domestic authorities and confirmed it with satellite imagery. The One-Tailed Beast, which was standing on the sand dunes of the Sarutobi Forest just a few minutes ago, has now disappeared. There's no doubt that it was summoned to Iwo Jima by the Uchiha Sagemon."

"Wow, the straight-line distance from Iwo Jima to Aomori Prefecture is over 1500 kilometers!"

Someone gasped.

"It's unbelievable that a monster as big as Godzilla like Shukaku could be summoned in the blink of an eye!"

Shukaku's massive body, as large as a hill, is not inflatable; it's estimated to weigh thousands or even tens of thousands of tons. Its ability to instantly teleport thousands of miles away is truly beyond imagination.

If this material space teleportation technology can be used in the construction of space stations, it is by no means a pipe dream for human civilization to break out of Earth and go into the universe.

"Haven't we had enough 'surprises' from the Extraordinary Side already? You're a soldier, not a physicist; you don't need to worry about this."

Another African-American officer snorted and said with dissatisfaction:

"We should reassess the danger level of the Uchiha Sage Clan based on this incident."

After all, the destruction caused by such a colossal creature as a tailed beast appearing in the urban area of ​​any metropolis would be unimaginable.

The Uchiha Sage Sect's ability to instantly summon him to their side would undoubtedly increase the threat to the United States' national security and strategic layout to an even higher level.

"Now is not the time to worry about that."

The middle-aged captain, his face etched with the marks of time, lowered his binoculars and said in a deep voice.

"Even if the Uchiha Sage and the One-Tailed Fox joined forces, they wouldn't be a match for the Nine-Tailed Fox. Now that signs of defeat are showing, they probably won't last much longer. What if he perishes in this battle..."

After the captain spoke, the people on the deck had different expressions and immediately fell silent.

All that could be heard was the howling of the sea wind and the splashing of the waves crashing against each other.

"It can't be that bad. Aren't there still superhumans among the Uchiha Sage's subordinates who can subdue the Seven-Tails?"

The African American officer who had spoken earlier forced a smile, revealing his thick lips:

"He still has a tailed beast under his control, plus the eagle's extraordinary abilities; if they all attack together, it's not impossible for it to be the Nine-Tailed Fox..."

"radar!"

Just then, a sailor, drenched in sweat and pale-faced, rushed onto the deck, shouting:

"Radar detected a huge unidentified object in the seawater, rapidly approaching us! Its diameter may exceed one hundred meters; it's not a submarine!"

At the same time, a sailor on the watchtower glanced down and saw a huge shadow passing beneath the warship, nearly causing him to fall off the watchtower in fright.

"Sea monster!"

A moment later, the still-shaken sailor roared in a heart-wrenching scream:

"It's a sea monster that appeared in the Panama Canal!"

Following the sound, everyone immediately looked out of the deck.

Amidst the churning waves, a giant three-tailed turtle suddenly emerged from the sea and charged towards Iwo Jima.

Everyone was stunned and speechless, unable to react in time.

Without pausing for even a moment, it was Mitsuo Isobu who rushed to the battlefield!
