I became Hokage in Tokyo

Chapters 480 and 481: Rinnegan

"Hehehe!"

After transforming into a half-tailed beast, Higashiyama's eyes are covered by an insect-like exoskeleton similar to Kamen Rider's, but his lewd and arrogant demeanor makes him seem more like a villainous fly-headed monster than a tokusatsu hero.

As soon as Dongshan opened his mouth, countless dense black insects spewed out from between his two rows of large white teeth, blotting out the sky and rushing in like a whirlwind.

Parasite Hurricane!

After blocking the temple's exit, the dark swarm of insects formed several winding, rotating insect tornadoes, swarming towards Kaguya-hime to kill her.

"How disgusting!"

Not to mention a peerless beauty like Princess Kaguya, even the other two Jinchūriki, Mineko Yuuki and Tetsu Yamashita, immediately got goosebumps when they saw countless insects buzzing and wriggling in mid-air.

Princess Kaguya, her face pale, had her eyes twitching uncontrollably, but desperate to escape, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and extend her right hand to strike forward!

The powerful chakra formed into an empty palm caused the air to explode violently, and its overwhelming power forcibly carved a path through the gloomy cloud of insects.

Upon seeing this, Princess Kaguya's face lit up with joy, and she flew towards the exit like lightning.

"Sand-bound coffin!"

Suddenly, waves of sand surged up from the empty ground at the exit, rising dozens of meters into the air with tremendous force. They churned down from top to bottom, transforming into giant sand hands with hooked claws that reached out to grab Princess Kaguya.

Princess Kaguya nimbly darted and weaved between the dozen or so giant sand hands.

"A few insignificant ants shouldn't become stumbling blocks for me!"

After being intercepted by the Jinchuriki twice in a row, Princess Kaguya was extremely worried and angrily scolded them.

With two pairs of kaleidoscopes watching from behind, how could I possibly get entangled with the Jinchūriki here!

How could Higashiyama Kaname and Yamashita Tetsu, two Jinchūriki, possibly obey Kaguya-hime's orders? Naturally, they would use their numbers to overwhelm her and attack her en masse.

"Buzzing!"

Higashiyama spread his six wings and hovered around Kaguya-hime. Countless scales and insects that fell from his body pressed down like storm clouds.

"Boom boom boom!"

At the same time, Yamashita Che raised his arms upwards, and the boundless sea of ​​sand surged and boiled, soaring into the sky.

Previously, such a powerful technique would have drained their chakra in an instant. But now, as Jinchūriki, they can freely expend the endless power of the Tailed Beasts.

The Uchiha Senmon, who was standing guard on the sidelines, nodded to himself.

For superhumans who can't even reach the level of a near-Kage, becoming a Jinchūriki is indeed a meteoric rise.

Even with only a preliminary grasp of the tailed beast's power, the Jinchuriki's combat strength is no less than that of a Kage-level powerhouse.

Under the combined attack of Yamashita Tetsu and Higashiyama Kaname, Princess Kaguya was overwhelmed and showed signs of exhaustion.

The two attacked Kaguya from above and below, their attacks covering a wide area with no blind spots!

"Revive the crisis!"

However, experience counts. Faced with such a critical situation, Kaguya unleashed an almost tangible amount of chakra from her entire body. With a twist of her waist, a spherical light shield with a diameter of ten meters spun rapidly like a top.

They deflected all the sandstorms and insect attacks that came crashing down on them.

In an instant, the balance of power began to tip in Kaguya's favor.

"Yuki, you are permitted to use the Tailed Beast Ball!"

Uchiha Senmon's gaze sharpened, and he said in a deep voice.

"yes!"

Mineko Yuuki, Tetsuya Yamashita, and Kurohime all simultaneously unleashed dark red tailed beast chakra from their mouths.

Three fist-sized Tailed Beast Balls were fired at Kaguya, who was using the Rotation Absolute Defense.

"Boom!"

A massive ball of flame exploded out like a nuclear blast, both magnificent and violent, with an incredibly terrifying force.

Fortunately, it was used in the vast, empty world inside the temple. If these Tailed Beast Balls had exploded on Turtle Island, they would have been enough to destroy several mountains.

The air was filled with the acrid smell of burnt protein from insects turning to ash, and countless dust particles fell in a flurry, mixed with luminous white fragments.

The white fragments wriggled, gathering like grains of sand into a tower, gradually coalescing into the pale yet beautiful head of a silver-haired woman.

"Kaguya, who took the elixir of immortality, is like the tailed beasts—immortal and indestructible..." Senmon Uchiha frowned, his face seemingly lost in thought.

"It's impossible that I, a mere ant, have been beaten so badly by you!"

With her hair disheveled, Princess Kaguya's body was still being reconstructed, and she glared at the Uchiha Senmon and the others with gritted teeth.

Yuki Mineko saw that the once invincible Princess Kaguya was now in such a sorry state under the combined attack of the three Jinchūriki.

It instantly swept away her years of nightmares, and she felt a sense of relief.

Times have changed, you old woman!

"Immortal Sect, it's time for the Jinchuriki's clumsy performance to end."

Sasuke glanced at the three Jinchuriki and said coldly:

"I have something I want to ask Princess Kaguya, I don't have much time."

"Don't say that, Sasuke. You've seen Yuuki and the others' current strength; they're enough to rival a typical Kage-level shinobi."

Uchiha Senmon stepped forward and spoke up to persuade him:

"The Akatsuki organization isn't just about Pain; there's also Sasori of the Red Sand, Orochimaru, and others. They might show up too. As Jinchuriki, they can at least hold off the other Akatsuki members."

"That reason is ridiculous."

Sasuke scoffed dismissively, his Eternal Kaleidoscope Sharingan spinning in his eyes:

"Whether it's Pain or any other scoundrel, none of them could possibly be a match for the Uchiha."

Uchiha Senmon's eyes flickered, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he remained silent.

After awakening the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, Sasuke, who was proud of the glory of the Uchiha clan, became increasingly arrogant.

Before avenging Itachi, he found it hard to listen to what others were saying.

The ultimate power of the Complete Susanoo was witnessed by the Uchiha Sagemon; it was absolute violence capable of both saving and destroying the world.

Now that even the Nine-Tailed Fox has submitted to Sasuke, his power is probably comparable to that of Madara Uchiha.

Even Kage-level giants like Pain and Taishan Fujun would most likely be defeated by Sasuke.

"Princess Kaguya, what do you mean by saying the Uchiha clan is inherently evil?"

Sasuke walked right past Senmon Uchiha and questioned Kaguya.

"The Uchiha clan is a clan possessed by evil."

A strange look appeared on Princess Kaguya's weakened face as she sneered:

"I betrayed the Hyuga clan by stealing the elixir of immortality, and you, the inherently evil Uchiha, hypocritically put on the face of saviors. Aren't you also betraying them? Hehehe."

"What exactly do you mean?" Sasuke asked, his expression growing colder.

Princess Kaguya kept her mouth shut at the crucial moment, but her eyes were almost overflowing with mockery and malice.

"You won't talk? Then I'll use these eyes to make you submit."

Sasuke's Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan unleashed a chilling dark power as he met Kaguya's gaze.

Sasuke's expression then darkened.

Uchiha Senmon couldn't help but show surprise and doubt. Kaguya's aura was not disturbed at all, which meant that the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan could not hypnotize her.

If it were his own kaleidoscope, he might not be able to control a Kage-level powerhouse like Princess Kaguya.

However, Sasuke's Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan was powerful enough to subdue even the Nine-Tailed Fox, so how could he possibly be unable to control Kaguya?

"Hehehe."

Princess Kaguya's pretty face revealed a chillingly sinister expression as she burst into loud laughter:

"Even if your Uchiha clan's Mangekyou Sharingan can hypnotize tailed beasts, it will be of no use to me who has ingested the elixir of immortality."

"In that case, you might as well die."

Sasuke's eyes flashed with murderous intent as he unleashed the inextinguishable Amaterasu Fire upon Kaguya.

"Aaaaaah!!"

In an instant, black flames enveloped Princess Kaguya, burning fiercely and causing her to let out a heart-wrenching wail.

Even Amaterasu could not burn Princess Kaguya to ashes.

Just then, Princess Kaguya's body suddenly swelled up dramatically as if it had been inflated, expanding to the size of a house in just a few breaths.

Uchiha Senmon's expression changed slightly, but he didn't panic much.

Princess Kaguya, having exhausted all her tricks, is resorting to the same self-destruction tactic she used when she was cornered on Mount Fuji, relying on her immortality.

Things are different now. Kaguya's self-destruction is not a major threat to the Uchiha Sage Clan.

However, the Uchiha Sage Sect still had many questions to ask Kaguya, and could not allow her to self-destruct.

"Wood Release: Advent of the World of Trees"

Uchiha Senmon clasped his hands together, and ancient trees rose from the empty ground, entangled Kaguya's expanded sphere, and absorbed her chakra.

As the balance shifted, Princess Kaguya gradually returned to human form, bound tightly with Wood Release techniques, and suspended in mid-air.

"It's no use trying to stop me from self-destructing. On the night of the full moon, the crimson light from the moon will descend from the sky..."

Princess Kaguya, her eyes tightly closed and her face showing a mixture of pain and pleasure, cursed:

"All humanity on this planet will become nourishment for the divine tree, to be buried with me, hahahaha!"

After that, no matter how much the Uchiha Immortal Sect questioned her, Kaguya remained silent and didn't reveal a single word.

Even the illusions of the Eternal Kaleidoscope were useless. The immortal Kaguya-hime was fearless of any torture, and it was virtually impossible to pry any useful information out of her.

"The original plan was to extract information from Princess Kaguya and unravel the mystery."

Uchiha Senmon rubbed his temples and said with a wry smile:

"Why is it becoming even more shrouded in mystery now?"

Princess Kaguya's unusual words and actions caused the mystery to become a tangled mess in the heart of the Uchiha Immortal.

"We already have five of the nine tailed beasts, and Sasuke and the Nine-Tailed Fox are on the side of humanity, so why do I feel so uneasy?"

The revival of Izanami and the Divine Tree requires the nine tailed beasts to fuse into the Ten-Tails as a prerequisite.

As long as even one tailed beast remains at large, the Akatsuki's ambitions will be thwarted.

With Sasuke's complete Susanoo, the situation is now as stable as a rock.

"I seem to have overlooked something... If we can find the loose end, maybe the rest of the questions will be answered."

Uchiha Senmon meticulously analyzed Kaguya's previous words in his mind, and his ominous premonition grew stronger.

Suddenly, a stinging pain shot through his left eye, and Uchiha Senmon instinctively reached out and pressed it a few times.

"The transplanted Kamui is not my eyes after all, so there is a slight rejection reaction. In addition, I have used Kamui for long-distance teleportation quite a few times recently, so I feel a bit tired."

However, the Kamui Kaleidoscope is just too convenient, and it's impossible to give it up just because of this minor flaw.

As Uchiha Senmon was lost in thought, he suddenly heard Yuuki Mineko's voice in his ear:

"Senior, should we reseal Princess Kaguya within the amber vase?"

"No need for now. The amber bottle can be used to seal the other tailed beasts."

Now that the red gourd has already contained a Three-Tails, the Uchiha clan only has the Amber Purification Bottle left, a magical artifact capable of containing tailed beasts.

In addition to serving as supplementary combat forces, the Jinchuriki also act as containers for the Tailed Beasts, which are enormous and difficult to move.

"The Turtle Island Shrine is already capable of suppressing the rampaging Tailed Beasts, so let's seal Princess Kaguya here."

The entrance to the temple can only be opened by those with the eye power of the Uchiha clan; unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter, and even Kaguya-hime would not be able to escape.

After reinforcing the Wood Release seal on Kaguya, the Uchiha Senmon and the others began to walk towards the shrine's exit.

"...Secretary-General..."

"...Help...United States..."

As they approached the exit, the wind carried urgent cries for help, causing everyone to exchange bewildered glances.

Uchiha Senmon tilted his head slightly, his face immediately darkening, and he fled the temple in a few flashes.

"What happened?"

He looked around and saw that hundreds of meters away from the temple exit, a huge crowd of anxious faces had gathered.

Diplomatic delegations from various countries flocked to the temple, but dared not approach due to the nine-tailed fox guarding the entrance. They could only shout in unison from afar.

Several hotheads who tried to force their way in were knocked unconscious by the Nine-Tailed Fox's overwhelming power.

Uchiha Senmon quickly stepped forward.

The other ambassadors immediately gathered around, and amidst their chatter, the Uchiha Senmon learned that a momentous event had occurred when they unsealed Kaguya in the temple.

A member of the Akatsuki organization, a man suspected to be its leader Pain, has appeared in the United States!

-

Mount Rushmore National Memorial, South Dakota.

Mount Rushmore, one of the United States' iconic landmarks, is located here.

On the rock face of Mount Rushmore are carved the enormous heads of four distinguished former presidents, each a full 60 feet (18 meters) tall.

The engineers carefully designed the orientation of the four heads so that the cliff faces southwest, allowing the statues to be bathed in sunlight for most of the daytime, resulting in a better viewing experience.

If someone were to look out from the mountain at this moment, they would be surprised to find that on the nose of the leftmost statue of George Washington, a figure can be vaguely seen sitting there.

An orange-haired man wearing a black robe with red cloud patterns sat nonchalantly on the tip of the statue's nose, completely ignoring the thousand-meter cliff below.

Black iron pipes pierced his cheeks, nose, and ears, but what was most striking were the layers of rings in his pale purple pupils, like tree rings.

Rinnegan!

"The day has finally come. I want to..."

Facing the vast land and city buildings at the end of his vision, the orange-haired youth stretched out his left hand, his outstretched fingers suddenly clenching tightly.

"Conquer the world!"
