I became Hokage in Tokyo

Chapters 493 and 494: Do you also want to dance?

As the first rays of morning sunlight pierced through the veil of morning mist, the Arakawa-dake range, shrouded in mountain air, stretched out before a crimson figure standing atop the peak, gazing down into the distance.

From this vantage point, one can see the lush forests below the waist of Mount Arakawa, as well as the small village that has been renamed Konoha.

"Hmph, Konoha."

Wearing red armor, with his waist-length black hair flowing in the wind and obscuring his eyes, Madara Uchiha looked down at Konoha Village, his eyes flashing with an unfathomable light.

The day's plan starts in the morning, but neither the forest nor the village made a sound; the silence was eerily profound.

Birds have vanished from the mountains, and human tracks have disappeared from the paths.

Before the unprecedented mass extinction, all living things followed their instinct for survival and scattered like birds and beasts.

"Even a 'god' like you can be moved by what you see?"

A vortex appeared in the void, and Uchiha Senmon appeared on the other side of the mountain, looking at the village that had raised him and speaking:

"Still reminiscing about someone by looking at these objects, Madara."

"I was the one who named Konoha."

Madara Uchiha was not surprised at all by the appearance of the Uchiha Sage Gate, and his tone was as calm as if he were chatting with a friend:

"The world has changed so much. The village we have now is completely different from the one that Hashirama and I built. Moreover, I have absolutely no attachment to the people and things of the past."

This is a lie!

Uchiha Senmon narrowed his eyes slightly.

If that's the case, why would Madara Uchiha bring the Gedo Mazo all the way back to Konoha?

The Infinite Tsukuyomi is activated, and cities all over the world are plunged into a dream.

Madara Uchiha altered the mythology, reversing his and Izanami's roles in the mythological war, but other intricate details were not fabricated.

The Hidden Leaf Village in the mythological era was the place where Izanagi and Izanami built and lived together.

Madara Uchiha traveled a great distance to specifically choose Konoha as the place of beginning and end; this cannot be explained simply by saying that he got up from where he fell.

As a member of the Uchiha clan, and using himself as a reference, he could somewhat guess Madara's thoughts.

Even though he was defeated and sealed away by Izanami for thousands of years, Madara Uchiha still had an unbreakable bond with his wife with whom he had a love-hate relationship.

"That explains why there weren't any moths flying into the flame to die yesterday."

Madara Uchiha turned around and looked at him, then smiled:

"You've come here for more than just scouting, haven't you? Do you have a way to stop me, Uchiha Madara?"

There are three days left until the Mid-Autumn Festival full moon.

Naturally, countries around the world were extremely anxious and assembled a coalition to march on Japan, intending to fight to the death.

However, they were temporarily suppressed by the Uchiha Sage Sect and put forward a new battle plan.

After careful consideration, the major powers gave the Uchiha Sage Clan one last chance, while simultaneously making two preparations: the overseas coalition forces remained stationed in the coastal waters, ready to set off and land in Japan at any time.

Uchiha Senmon opened his right eye and activated his Mangekyou Sharingan, peering into Uchiha Madara's heart.

The Eight Thunder God Eye Technique is extremely sensitive to the soul, and Ah Ming's last breath of soul stubbornly persisted.

Uchiha Senmon's tightly clenched heart immediately relaxed, and then he tentatively asked:

"How are Yuuki and Yamashita doing now?"

The Demonic Statue of the Outer Path flew to Mount Arakawa and used a Tailed Beast Ball to hollow out the mountainside, hiding inside. Madara Uchiha guarded the outside, and no one knew what was happening inside.

"Those two Jinchūriki..."

Madara Uchiha smiled casually, but his tone carried a hint of cruelty:

"Who knows? Probably, the outcome will be terrible."

The implication is clear: the odds are against them.

Uchiha Senmon's heart sank, and he couldn't help but glare angrily at Uchiha Madara.

"Forget about those insignificant people. Immortal Sect, shall we join forces?"

Madara Uchiha made a startling statement, proposing a suggestion that left the Uchiha Sage Sect completely bewildered.

"You possess the talent to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan and have also obtained Wood Release. The power of me and Hashirama continues and blossoms within you. It would be a great pity to kill you."

"Ban, you stole Akane's body and used all of humanity as nourishment for the Divine Tree, yet you dare to say such things!"

Uchiha Senmon's face was clouded with anger, his lips twitched, and he gritted his teeth as he roared.

"What's wrong with the illusionary world of Infinite Tsukuyomi? Reality is too cruel."

Madara Uchiha lowered his gaze slightly and chuckled coldly:

"Didn't you experience hell more than a decade ago, the unbearable pain of losing your beloved? Have you forgotten, Immortal Sect?"

Uchiha Senmon's eyes flickered, and he pursed his lips, remaining silent.

"In the dream world of Infinite Tsukuyomi, everything is within your control. Not only will your son return to your side, but your wife will also be brought back to life! All your dreams will come true!"

Madara Uchiha's words were like those of a devil, bewitching people and dragging their souls into the abyss.

"As for those mortals you're worried about, don't worry, they won't die. Draining the pond to catch all the fish is too unwise. The divine tree won't drain humanity dry all at once, but will continuously draw upon their life force. Everyone can immerse themselves in a beautiful dream, live forever, and be completely freed from pain and emptiness."

Extending his palm towards the Uchiha Sage Gate, Madara Uchiha generously invited:

"Come, Immortal Clan, let's create the perfect Tsukuyomi world together!"

call--!

At the mountaintop, the wind howled and the clouds swirled.

Uchiha Senmon frowned, closed his eyes, his face gloomy, and slowly took a few steps forward.

"Kamui!"

He suddenly opened the kaleidoscope in his left eye.

Madara Uchiha used his lightning-fast body-instantaneous movement to flash onto a rock more than ten meters away.

"You're going to refuse my kindness."

He glanced down at the outstretched arm; a moment later, it would have been snapped off by Kamui.

"I saw a reflection of myself in you, and I thought you would understand me. But now it seems your love for your wife is only this much?"

"No matter how eloquently you speak, the world of Infinite Tsukuyomi is nothing but a mirage."

Uchiha Senmon looked up at Uchiha Madara standing on the rock, raised his fist, and said firmly:

"Whether it's Mikoto or Akira, I will save them!"

"You talk a good game, but do you think you can pull it off, kid?"

A powerful aura surged skyward, its roar halting the clouds. Madara Uchiha, his eyes blazing with crimson Sharingan, looked down at the Immortal Sect and coldly said:

"Don't be naive! The enemy you're facing is me, Uchiha Madara!!"

Uchiha Senmon's breath hitched, and cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

Madara Uchiha has murderous intent!

Even with only three tomoe, Madara Uchiha's eye power still suppressed his Mangekyou Sharingan.

The gap between the two is like an insurmountable chasm.

But if they don't do it because they can't, the Uchiha Sage Sect will laugh at them.

Let's gamble our lives here and fight for a glimmer of hope.

"You can't kill me before you save the world, Madara."

Uchiha Senmon took a few steps back, and with a flick of his left Kamui Mangekyou Sharingan, a dust-covered body was released.

A moment later, she opened her pair of empty, black eyes.

"These eyes are from the Taishan Fujun sacrifice..."

Madara Uchiha's expression changed slightly.

Moreover, figures kept emerging from the Divine Might Space.

There were a total of sixty or seventy people.

Each body was covered in dust, its face cracked, lifeless, and chilling.

"I see. No wonder you refused my invitation. It turns out you have already mastered the Taishan Fujun Sacrifice."

Madara Uchiha, instead of being surprised, laughed dismissively and sneered:

"How foolish, Immortal Sect. Even the Lord of Mount Tai is no match for me. You don't think these lifeless clay figurines can stop me, do you?"

"To fight me, you'd need at least someone as strong as Sasuke!"

Uchiha Senmon twitched the corners of his mouth, revealing a bitter smile.

He did consider reviving Sasuke, but it was simply impossible.

Not only was Sasuke's body completely destroyed in Amaterasu, but the Eight Thunder Gods, a Kage-level wielder, also overwhelmed the Uchiha Sage, causing his eyesight to deteriorate significantly. He was only able to barely use the Mount Tai Lord Ritual thanks to the flesh and blood left behind by the flesh-bearers of the Tengen Game.

The Uchiha Sage's self-compassion for his Mount Tai Lord Festival and Ashiya Dōman's level of completion are simply incomparable.

Not only do they lack consciousness, but the vast majority of the dead who are resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation possess power at only the level of the Twelve Divine Generals.

However, sometimes the dead are more useful than the living.

"Ban, it's not too late to boast after we've defeated them."

Uchiha Senmon formed a hand seal in front of his chest, and a vortex appeared in the void, sucking him in and disappearing completely.

The resurrected dead stiffly twisted their necks and limbs, all looking at Uchiha Madara, and then rushed towards him in a rush.

"Hiding in the shadows to wait for the right moment, huh? That's a very underhanded tactic, but it's very effective."

Facing the reanimated corpses surging menacingly towards him, Madara Uchiha glanced around with interest:

"I have nothing to do until the Gedo Mazo absorbs all the tailed beasts, so I'll play with you for a bit to pass the time."

Leaping off the rock, Madara Uchiha immediately engaged in battle with the invading Edo Tensei army.

"Crackling and popping!"

"Boom boom boom!"

Even with dozens of dead men attacking relentlessly, Madara Uchiha swept through the land like autumn leaves in the wind, utterly destroying everyone in his path.

If it weren't for its immortal, impure body, the encirclement would have been torn apart long ago.

As they pursued and intercepted Madara Uchiha, an Edo Tensei corpse wielding a long sword swung its blade at them.

Madara Uchiha reached out and locked his neck, lifting him into the air.

Do you want to dance too?

With a swift tightening of his grip, the other person's neck was snapped, and their head flew off.

However, the headless, reanimated corpse staggered to its feet and continued to lunge at Madara Uchiha.

Madara Uchiha frowned, then leaped backward, disappearing a hundred meters away.

Madara Uchiha casually brushed the dust off his shoulder from shattering the reanimated corpses, then formed a hand seal and spat it forward:

"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"

Seven or eight undead creatures, swift as rabbits and falcons, landed at the very front of the procession, simultaneously spewing out a torrent of water.

Water Escape·Water Formation Wall!

The water barrier was as flimsy as paper, unable to even slow the fire, and swallowed up the army of filthy earth in an instant.

"boom!"

The overwhelming, domineering flames instantly set the summit of Mount Arakawa ablaze, melting away the snow covering the mountain along with the water array walls, turning into a cloud of water vapor that blotted out the sun.

With crackling sounds, dozens of charred, mangled bodies lay scattered on the ground, still wreathed in flames.

In just a few minutes, the Edo Tensei army was routed by Madara Uchiha!

"As expected of Uchiha Madara."

Although the whereabouts of Uchiha Senmon are currently unknown, the eyes of the reanimated dead serve as his eyes and ears, allowing Senmon to keep abreast of the situation.

The Uchiha Sage was not surprised by the defeat of the Edo Tensei army. If even a Kage-level powerhouse couldn't handle such a small matter, how could he talk about destroying the world?

"Rustle and rustle".

Soon, a cloud of dust gathered, causing the impure reborn to rise again.

Against Uchiha Madara, the strength of the reanimated dead was naturally negligible, but they were immortal and tireless, able to launch countless attacks, 24 hours a day without rest.

By relentlessly pursuing him, we can not only use him as cannon fodder to gather intelligence on Madara Uchiha, but also tie him down, exhaust his energy, and create an opportunity for the Uchiha Sage.

"Ugh, even more disgusting than cockroaches."

Madara Uchiha glanced over and snorted coldly:

"I'm getting a little tired of it too."

After trying his hand at it, he felt a bit annoyed. After all, he was facing a group of bloodless and tearless zombies, so it was normal not to feel motivated.

Suddenly, a sea of ​​sand surged up from beneath Madara Uchiha's feet, transforming into countless sand hands that reached out to grab him.

Madara Uchiha raised an eyebrow and dodged the Sand Hand attack in mid-air with a swift movement.

Just then, a figure stepped onto the ground and shot into the sky like a cannonball, appearing behind Uchiha Madara at an incredible speed.

"boom!"

The fist pierced the air with a thunderous roar, and one could tell from the sound alone that its power was extraordinary.

"Bang!"

A blue rib completely covered Uchiha Madara.

The attacker's fist slammed into Susanoo, causing half of its body to explode and turn into dust, which fell to the ground.

Madara Uchiha jumped down from mid-air and landed back on the rock.

His entire body was enveloped by Susanoo, and his eyes had transformed into Eternal Kaleidoscopes.

"Tsunade, who is on par with Jiraiya, no wonder her fists are so powerful."

Gazing at that face, still vibrant and mature despite being covered in dust, Madara Uchiha blinked and smiled with relief:

"Among a bunch of mediocre people, there are some who seem to be real experts. If that's the case, things should get a little more interesting."

Meanwhile, the impure earth army, which had been destroyed by the great fire, had recovered to a considerable extent and gradually surrounded them.

"Too many."

Madara Uchiha looked around, raised his hands, and said coldly:

"The rest of you clay figurines of corpses, you no longer need to embarrass yourselves. Leave the stage!"

The power of the Eternal Kaleidoscope burst forth, and the skeletal Susanoo grew rapidly in the wind, transforming in an instant into a blue giant with two faces and four arms.

The four arms of Susanoo completed the hand seals simultaneously with Madara Uchiha.

With a low shout, Madara Uchiha instantly darkened the sky.

"The Heavenly Obstruction Star!"
