I became Hokage in Tokyo

Chapters 478 and 479: The Four Symbols Seal and the Jinchūriki

Blue sky and white clouds, seagulls soaring, and the sea ripples.

A cruise ship sailed toward a rugged little island in the calm waters of Tokyo Bay.

The deck was filled with well-dressed men and women in suits, their faces radiating an air of sophistication, though they came from various races, skin colors, and nationalities.

Several days have passed since the Battle of Iwo Jima. Following emergency political consultations, countries around the world have formally dispatched a joint mission to visit Japan, which is now under the rule of the Uchiha clan.

In order to deal with the celestial changes, tailed beasts, and the very likely apocalypse brought about by the Crimson Moon.

"This ship might just be Noah's Ark..."

Ambassador Lucia, who was downwind, heard a faint sigh carried on the sea breeze and knew without turning around that it was coming from his arch-enemy, the US ambassador.

A hint of schadenfreude flashed in the old Russian's eyes, followed by a sense of shared sorrow, and his face turned grave.

The White House spokesperson's vague explanation for dropping the three nuclear bombs on Iwo Jima was that it was to curb the arrogance of the Nine-Tailed Fox and demonstrate the unwavering resolve of humanity as the beacon of civilization.

Through their close cooperation with the Uchiha clan, they successfully defeated the Nine-Tailed Fox!

The White House's lies may fool its own citizens, but they cannot deceive the leaders of other countries.

Countless eyes were watching Iwo Jima from its orbit that night.

After the nuclear explosion, many prominent figures in the US military and political circles, along with their cronies, either committed suicide or were arrested, and their interest groups were completely eradicated.

Moreover, the US propaganda, which had been subtly hostile to the Uchiha clan, has made a complete 180-degree turn, vigorously praising the Uchiha Sage Clan with almost nauseating sycophancy. An uninformed person might think they were inviting a descendant of a heretical god to the United States to be the messiah.

At the United Nations conference, it was the United States that stepped up to advocate for the formation of a joint mission by various countries, even at great personal cost.

Various clues suggest that the United States suffered a great loss at the hands of the Uchiha Sage.

There are no secrets that stay hidden forever. The Uchiha Sage Sect's attempt to force the United States to submit by wielding nuclear weapons still managed to reach the ears of high-ranking officials in major powers through various channels.

Even countries that are at odds with the United States are not laughing at this moment.

If the Uchiha Sage Clan could intimidate the United States single-handedly, they could certainly intimidate them as well.

Moreover, the scene of the complete Susanoo surviving the nuclear explosion was precisely captured by military satellites from various countries.

The complete defeat of the ultimate weapon means that once relations with the Uchiha clan are broken, even a fight to the death is not an option!

Even the United States, after suffering heavy losses, chose to be flexible and adaptable, so other countries are naturally not foolish enough to be the first to stick their necks out.

While the nations were filled with apprehension and fear at the power displayed by the Uchiha clan, they also felt a secret delight.

Because, when the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact.

With great power comes great responsibility!

The world is currently shrouded in an apocalyptic crisis, and it would be best if the tall ones could hold up the sky if it fell.

Because the impending doomsday crisis was imminent, and the biggest troublemaker country corrected its attitude, countries around the world temporarily set aside their disputes and, for the first time, tried to cooperate sincerely, forming an alliance to advance and retreat together.

"We've arrived at Turtle Island."

Soon, an island with countless sharp swords and halberds pointing skyward appeared before everyone.

There was no such island in Tokyo Bay until yesterday.

"Is this the legendary Turtle Island?"

"There's a turtle right under our feet! It's unbelievable, like something out of a fairy tale."

The cruise ship docked at a simple pier, and the delegation members disembarked, their feet sinking into the sand, marveling at its beauty.

Welcome everyone.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs welcomed the joint delegation at the pier.

Although they had done their homework and were mentally prepared, the ambassadors from various countries still couldn't help but feel disappointed when they saw that old face.

Neither Sasuke Uchiha, who possesses the divine power to destroy the world, nor the Uchiha Sage Clan, who is now equivalent to the new emperor, would condescend to greet him at the dock. Instead, they would have to join forces with an envoy to pay homage to them.

It wasted the good intentions of all the countries involved.

The joint mission was surprisingly 50/50 in terms of men and women, and there were quite a few beautiful women among them.

The Uchiha clan's bloodline is so coveted that various countries have been sending young and beautiful female diplomats, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

Even if the Uchiha clan has deep feelings for their former swordsman and is indifferent to women, Sasuke Uchiha was young and infatuated with her, so maybe the honey trap would work?

Moreover, the Uchiha Senmon also has a son of the same age, Uchiha Naruto.

"Please follow me to the embassy to rest for a while. His Majesty will summon you soon."

No one had any objections and complied with the Foreign Minister's arrangements.

As they passed a hilltop, the joint delegation couldn't help but look towards the center of Turtle Island, and they all gasped in shock, their faces turning pale.

"That's spectacular!"

Ambassador Lucia's pupils dilated in surprise, and she exclaimed:

"There are four tailed beasts in total!"

On the four sides of the collapsed main peak of Turtle Island, there stand four enormous structures, each the size of a mountain.

One-tailed Shukaku, three-tailed Isobu, four-tailed Sage Monkey King, and the strongest and most evil Nine-tailed Fox!

They had all witnessed the power of the Tailed Beasts; they were monsters that even a nuclear explosion couldn't kill.

Four of these terrifying monsters submitted to the Uchiha clan.

This is far more awe-inspiring than arranging four intercontinental ballistic missiles armed with nuclear warheads.

"Being the Uchiha's dog doesn't seem so bad."

Ambassador Lucia looked at the giant red ape with four heads and tails, a thoughtful expression on her face.

The Uchiha Sage Sect was truly ready to act, and they defused a super bomb on American soil.

Lucia spans across Eurasia, a vast and resource-rich landmass with the largest land area in the world. Who knows where a tailed beast might be hiding? In that case, the Uchiha Sage Sect will definitely need to put out the fire.

"No, it's not four tailed beasts."

Ambassador Lucia thought for a moment, then looked doubtful:

"The Seven-Tails, Chōmei, is also in the hands of the Uchiha Sagemon. Why isn't it on the island?"

-

Meanwhile, within the ruins of the collapsed main peak of Turtle Island, and the Tiger Head Temple, which miraculously remained intact after being struck by the Qilin, lies an endless blank world.

"Now, I will seal the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki right here."

Uchiha Senmon, with a red gourd half the height of a person at his feet, spoke with a solemn expression.

He glanced around and saw a spotless expanse of white, like a vast expanse of snow. Apart from three or four figures, the room was empty, and he sighed with admiration.

In the Battle of Iwo Jima, Senmon Uchiha controlled Shukaku and Isobu to fight, but he did not achieve much success. His Mangekyou Sharingan power was tied up with the two tailed beasts, which prevented him from fully utilizing his abilities.

However, the Uchiha Senmon could not undo the genjutsu on the two tailed beasts, otherwise they would go berserk on the spot.

The power of the tailed beasts is so great that it would be a waste to leave them unused as the end of the world approaches.

Under Sasuke's guidance, the Uchiha Senmon found another way to use the power of the Tailed Beasts: Jinchuriki!

The wise ancestors of the Uchiha clan invented a method to seal the tailed beasts within the human body in order to control their overwhelming power.

Turtle Island contains a sacred realm where one can communicate with the Tailed Beasts; this is the temple.

Even if the tailed beast goes berserk, it can be suppressed and sealed in the temple immediately.

"Are you ready, Higashiyama-kun?" Uchiha Senmon's gaze sharpened.

Standing within the Four Symbols Formation, the black insect tamer with a full head of filthy braids forced a smile that looked more like a grimace, and said in a trembling voice:

"Captain Uchiha, you absolutely have to succeed..."

As a candidate for the Jinchuriki of a Tailed Beast, it is naturally not something that can be done by simply grabbing someone off the street.

Being an extraordinary person is the most basic requirement.

They can only be selected from the Twelve Divine Generals and the extraordinary individuals of the Eagle.

Furthermore, the Jinchuriki have a compatibility with the Tailed Beasts. Good compatibility leads to greater success, while poor compatibility can cause the Tailed Beasts to go berserk and endanger the Jinchuriki's life.

Shichimei is a giant flying beetle.

As luck would have it, Higashiyama Kaname, who was a master of insect manipulation, was perfectly compatible with it, thus becoming the first person to try it.

"Three members of the Eagle Clan, please use your sealing techniques."

Uchiha Senmon shifted his gaze from the black man's face to the corner of the Four Symbols Formation, where three beautiful young women stood.

Liliana, a silver-haired girl.

Yoruichi Kato, the female ninja with cat eyes.

And, the Black Witch Shiranui Hagoromo.

"Lord Uchiha, please rest assured, the three of us are specializing in the study of sealing techniques in Taka."

Wearing an all-black JK sailor uniform, Shiranui Hagoromo smiled and said:

"We will certainly not let down the Lord... Inaba-nee's entrustment, and complete the Four Symbols Seal of the Jinchūriki."

A strange light flashed in Uchiha Senmon's eyes.

Apart from Hagoromo Shiranui, the other two Kage of the Hawk Organization were meeting for the first time.

However, the kindness and respect they exuded still left the Uchiha Senmon with mixed feelings.

But now is not the time to consider that.

With the right timing, location, and people all in our favor, it would be a real shame not to try creating a Jinchūriki.

If the experiment succeeds, several Jinchūriki can be created in the same way!

Let's begin!

Uchiha Senmon tucked the red gourd under his arm, opened the bottle, and a rapid buzzing sound burst forth.

"Buzzing—!"

A massive and violent surge of chakra erupted from the red gourd, instantly condensing in the sky and transforming into a giant beetle with six wings and a tail.

The Naraku Insect!

As soon as the enraged Seven-Tails appeared, it roared and opened its mouth, trying to smash down the Tailed Beast Ball.

"Keep quiet!"

Looking up at the sky, Uchiha Senmon formed hand seals, his black eyes transformed into Sharingan, and then condensed into the completely different Mangekyou Sharingan.

"Waaah..."

With a mournful howl, the eyes beneath the armor suddenly revealed three tomoe, and with a twitch of its wings, it plummeted straight down from the sky.

"Wood Release: Advent of the World of Trees"

Uchiha Senmon slammed both hands onto the empty ground.

Towering trees rose from the ground, catching the Seven-Tailed Chongming and placing it steadily in the center of the Four Symbols Formation.

"Please hurry! My current eye power can't control the Seven-Tails for much longer!"

Uchiha Senmon's double eyelids were incredibly heavy, and he let out a low shout.

The three, Shiranui Hagoromo and Shiranui, exchanged glances and then, as if by unspoken agreement, formed hand seals, their bodies surging with a shared aura.

"The Four Symbols Seal!"

The materialized body of the Seven-Tails, Jōmei, was once again broken down into pure tailed beast chakra, which, under the control of Hagoromo Shiranui, shot towards the black man at the center of the magic circle like a torrent.

"Ouch, it's so hot and it hurts! I'm going to die!"

Dongshan immediately lay on the ground, rolling around, crying and laughing, letting out a miserable scream like a ghost howling.

The Four Symbols Seal did not last long; after only a minute, Shiranui and the other two withdrew their hands.

Higashiyama's shirt was burned away by the tailed beast's chakra, leaving him lying shirtless and stiff on the ground, his fate unknown.

"Did it work?"

"After the Four Symbols Seal is completed, it will leave a black mark on the Jinchuriki's body... How come I didn't see it? It can't be that I messed it up."

Of course you can't see it, because Higashiyama's skin is already darker than charcoal lacquer.

With a flick of his Sharingan, Uchiha Senmon discovered a vortex-shaped magic circle on Higashiyama Kaname's lower abdomen by observing the color of the chakra.

"Is this the Four Symbols Seal?"

Just then, an extremely violent tailed beast chakra poured out from the Four Symbols Seal, enveloping Higashiyama Kaname's entire body at a visible speed.

"Awoooooo!"

The once half-dead Dongshan was about to be fully revived, not only with sharp teeth and claws, but also with seven black tails behind him.

It resembles a small, humanoid tailed beast!

Dongshan, howling and barking, was about to launch an attack when his eyes flashed red.

"Kuo'an enters the palace with ease!"

At the critical moment, Uchiha Senmon suddenly raised his left hand towards Higashiyama Kaname, who had transformed into a tailed beast, and the character "座" (seat) appeared in his palm.

At the same time, around Dongshan Yao's feet, wooden pillars broke through the ground and extended their branches to support Dongshan Yao's body, making him unable to move!

Taking advantage of this gap, Uchiha Senmon swiftly approached Higashiyama Kaname, placed his left hand on his forehead, and used Wood Release chakra to suppress the rampaging tailed beast chakra.

"Awooooo!"

The black tailed beast cloak covering Higashiyama's face and body was gradually peeled away, revealing his true face. His head lolled to the side, and he immediately fainted.

Koan's "Entering the Palace with Hands Down" has a hypnotic effect and also possesses the power to suppress tailed beasts.

"Now is the time to reinforce the Four Symbols Seal!"

At the command of the Uchiha Sage, Shiranui Hagoromo and the other two dared not delay and immediately recast the Four Symbols Seal.

After the seal was completed for a while, the black man Dongshan's eyelids twitched, and he slowly stood up from the ground.

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

Was the sealing of the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki successful?

"puff!"

A pair of transparent, dragonfly-shaped wings popped out from behind Higashiyama Kaname.

"Oh, yes! I am flying!"

His hip-hop talent awakened, and the mixed-race black man performed a dozen backflips with great enthusiasm, then spread his dragonfly wings and leaped into the sky.

"Snapped!"

Because he hadn't gotten used to his newly grown wings, Dongshan excitedly flew half a circle before losing his balance and falling headfirst from the sky.

However, Higashiyama Kaname, a black man, was originally a superhuman, and now he has become a human jinchūriki. He is tough and resistant to falls. Not to mention this height, even if he fell from a helicopter, he would only suffer superficial injuries.

"My power! It's too strong! I am free!"
