I became Hokage in Tokyo

Chapter 60-061 Special Assault Force

Kisame Hoshigaki stared expressionlessly at Aihiro Iijima, whose head had been smashed to the ground like a rotten watermelon.

It takes at least five minutes to drown a person alive. Unlike the instant kill with ninjutsu, the life was struggling violently in his hands. This feeling made him realize that he was killing someone, which was a bit cruel. So Kisame Hoshigaki simply gave him a quick death.

"It's 8:23 now, less than ten minutes. It seems that Minami Kasai has a rather competent director."

Looking at the panicked police officers below, Kisame Hoshigaki casually picked up a watch he had snatched from one of his team members, glanced at it, and looked surprised.

Before coming, he had also investigated the distance between the Seiji Group headquarters and the local police station. The fact that they were able to get here so efficiently suggests that the local police station is excellent.

However, the troops Kisame Hoshigaki was looking forward to were not them. Kisame had originally intended to use some tricks to scare the police officers away, but after he showed his face on the rooftop, all the police officers who had entered the headquarters withdrew, set up a cordon on the driveway at the entrance, and stood guard with their guns drawn.

"Looks like he's reporting to his superiors and waiting for backup. Not bad, this director isn't too bad-witted."

Kisame Hoshigaki clenched his fists and then raised one hand:

"Hidden Mist Technique!"

In an instant, a wave of mist surged up from the rooftop, rolling downwards and spreading outwards.

The fog grew thicker.

…………

At 9:10, traffic control was implemented in Minami-Kasashi.

Edogawa Ward is located in southeastern Tokyo, not in the city center or a bustling urban area. The headquarters of Seiji Group faces the Arakawa River, and Tokyo Bay is just a few hundred meters to the south, making it relatively easy to block off this area.

Residents near the Seiji Group headquarters have been evacuated, and large riot police vehicles from the Metropolitan Police Department are blocking the driveway in front of the building.

Squads of armed troops wearing riot helmets and carrying heavy weapons had already set up makeshift fortifications at the entrance.

The Special Assault Force (SAT) is an elite unit within the country's police system responsible for counterterrorism and riot control.

Following the occurrence of supernatural events, the Metropolitan Police Department expanded its organization and secretly added several SATs. When necessary, the Fourth Investigation Division and the Fifth Public Security Division can mobilize SATs to deal with supernatural monsters.

"Inspector Uchiha, it's still not working. The fog is too thick, and the drones we sent in can't capture anything, and they quickly lost signal."

At the temporary command center set up not far away, Uchiha Senmon, the commander, frowned as he looked at the white screen.

This fog is absolutely terrible.

The fog was already quite thick on the road, and judging from the drones that entered the Seiji Group's interior, it was pitch black inside. Sending an assault team in under these conditions would be far too dangerous.

How could two such serious supernatural events occur in one day?

The news from the Bukoyama Seishinkai has been reported to the Metropolitan Police Department. The Fourth and Fifth Investigation Divisions have formed a joint investigation headquarters and rushed to Chichibu County. Meanwhile, the Uchiha Senmon stationed in Tokyo has received a report of a Type A attack in Edogawa Ward.

Moreover, this was not an ordinary attack; local police reported that as many as 20 bodies were found on the first floor alone.

Since the occurrence of supernatural events, no Type A attack has ever resulted in so many deaths in a single incident nationwide.

Moreover, since it happened in Tokyo, the Metropolitan Police Department was naturally in a hurry and demanded that it be wiped out immediately. Uchiha Senmon was appointed as the temporary commander and mobilized the SAT to handle the matter.

In the temporary command center, in addition to Uchiha Senmon and his deputy, Yuji Kanbara, and other staff members of the Fourth Investigation Division, the survivors, Inspector Aota and Chief Miyano, were also present.

Director Miyano couldn't hide his surprise.

Last week, Director Miyano and other directors of Edogawa Ward were summoned to Sakurada Gate for a special meeting.

At the meeting, a police officer with the rank of Superintendent General of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department first talked about a bunch of inexplicable things about faith and Japanese folk customs, and then went on to talk about a lot of other things with hidden meanings.

In short, it's implying that if any bizarre cases occur in their jurisdiction, or if the police report something supernatural, they shouldn't immediately dismiss it based on common sense. Instead, they should carefully observe, determine the truth, and report any unusual situations to the Metropolitan Police Department.

The director asked what this meant.

However, the superintendent did not give a direct answer, but instead continued to speak in a series of cryptic and ambiguous words in the style of a riddle.

Anyway, we've adopted this stance. Although we haven't explicitly stated it, you should understand. Since you already understand, there's even less need for us to say anything more.

After the meeting, all the police chiefs walked out of the Metropolitan Police Department headquarters with expressions of deep thought, as if wondering where the end of the universe was.

It was precisely because of this inexplicable meeting, coupled with the presence of a suspected monster at the crime scene, that Chief Miyano immediately decided to report it to the Metropolitan Police Department.

Unexpectedly, it involved yokai (supernatural beings). Even Director Miyano was unaware that yokai existed in Japan, where he had lived for over thirty years.

So it's because my rank is too low that such confidential matters are not disclosed to the public, so I'm living in a false world my whole life?

Uchiha Senmon held a sketch with a serious expression. It was a sketch hastily drawn by the police criminal profiler based on Inspector Aota's dictation.

The shark-faced monster's appearance and skin color are not surprising. Although there are few humanoid A-type monsters that can speak, there are several reports in the files. But what's with its simple and ancient Japanese-style clothing?

Uchiha Senmon keenly sensed something was wrong. In past cases, Type A attacks on humans were merely driven by animal instincts, such as hunger. However, this Type A had killed so many people but hadn't eaten a single one, which was extremely abnormal.

Most importantly, Chief Inspector Qingtian said that the shark-faced monster mentioned the souls of the sacrifice.

Although Type A is privately referred to as a monster by police officers, it is very different from the monsters in folk tales. Devouring souls is unheard of. This behavior is more like the ghosts and gods that appear in myths and legends!

But it could also be a deliberate attempt to mystify; the Uchiha Sage Sect has encountered monsters whose intelligence was no different from that of ordinary people, and who were even more cunning.

"The higher-ups are urging us again, asking when to launch the attack?" A police officer walked over with a walkie-talkie.

"We have to wait for the fog to clear up a bit. It's already past nine o'clock, and the fog is still so thick... Wait a minute, contact the helicopter pilot and check the extent of the fog coverage." Uchiha Senmon had a flash of inspiration and asked.

In the dense fog, the helicopter was unable to lower its altitude and kept circling more than 200 meters above the fog.

A few minutes later, the officer replied, "The fog in Minami-Kasai has dissipated to the north and is no longer over the sea; it only remains about half a kilometer north of the coast."

Uchiha Senmon drew a circle on the map with a pen, his black eyes blinking rapidly:

"So, it's centered around the Sei no Gumi headquarters?"

It seems that this strange fog is not a natural phenomenon, but rather the work of a supernatural being, so waiting for the fog to dissipate is unlikely.

Should we send a strike team in now? But the situation inside the Seiji Group is unclear and visibility is extremely poor. It would be irresponsible to risk the lives of the strike team members.

Just then, a cheer was heard outside the command center.

"The fog has lifted! The fog has lifted!"

Uchiha Senmon quickly led his men out of the tent, and sure enough, they saw that the thick white fog was gradually dissipating and their vision was becoming clearer. The headquarters building of the Sei no Kumi, which had been vaguely visible, was now clearly visible.

He also saw the strange blue-haired man standing on the rooftop.

The blue-haired monster seemed to sense something and exchanged a glance with Uchiha Senmon while standing on the rooftop.

"Boom!"

A huge shadow flashed beneath the calm surface of the Arakawa River. Then, the water rose high like a wave crest, and a five- or six-meter-tall, dark, bald head emerged from the surface of the Arakawa River.
