I became Hokage in Tokyo

Chapter 61 Chapter 062 Lord Umibo

Suddenly, a wave surged up on the once calm surface of the Arakawa River, and from the middle of the giant wave emerged a huge, dark, bald head with a pair of pale eyes as big as cartwheels.

Although wisps of mist still lingered in the air, the enormous creature emerging from the water quickly attracted everyone's attention, even more so than Kisame Hoshigaki appearing on the rooftop.

The monster stood up, supporting itself on the riverbank with one hand.

This is a monster that is over ten meters tall and resembles a black giant. Its entire body is black, and the most striking feature is its huge bald head that occupies half of its body.

At that moment, the officers present instinctively recalled the fear of being dominated by a gigantic creature.

"What kind of monster is this?"

"It's huge! It's way too big!"

"Commander, please issue firing permission!"

The SATs present lived up to their reputation as the most elite unit in the police system; even when faced with a giant monster that suddenly appeared behind them, they did not rashly fire.

But everyone was on high alert, and quite a disturbance broke out, with some turning their guns from the rooftops to the river.

"That's Umibozu!"

The Qingtian patrol chief, who grew up on the island, blurted out the answer immediately, his tone tinged with excitement.

"Umibozu!"

Uchiha Senmon's expression turned solemn, as he also thought of this famous Japanese sea monster.

This is a huge, jet-black monster that appears on the sea surface. It extorts fishermen's catch, and if they refuse, it will capsize their boats. Legend has it that its appearance on the sea surface also foretells an impending storm. Because its bald head resembles that of a monk, it is named Umibozu (Sea Monk).

Looking at this behemoth whose appearance and features were exactly the same as those of the legendary monster Umibozu, Uchiha Senmon's pupils shrank. Was this also a Type A?

He has encountered many supernatural beings so far, but has never encountered a type A that is similar to the monsters in folk tales.

But Umibozu didn't give the Uchiha Sage time to be shocked. It slowly took a step and walked towards the headquarters of the Seiji Group in front of it.

The unrest within the troops has now become significantly greater.

"Squad 1, remain in place and continue monitoring Type A on the rooftop. Other units, free firing permitted!"

Uchiha Senmon's face also showed lingering fear and confusion. Why would Umibozu appear at this time?

If Umibozu suddenly emerges from Arakawa while they are attacking the Seiji Group headquarters at SAT, they will be attacked from both sides and may be caught off guard.

But now is not the time to think about that. The ten-meter-tall Umibozu gives people a terrifying sense of oppression. He does not believe that this monster came ashore for a stroll on a whim. If it gets any closer, there is a risk that morale will collapse on the spot. In any case, it would be right to shoot it dead on the spot.

"clear!"

The other squads immediately opened fire, with more than a dozen submachine guns flashing and bursts of bullets sweeping across the sea monster.

"Puff puff puff—"

When the bullets struck Umibozu, they didn't splatter blood or foul-smelling bodily fluids; instead, they splashed up like water.

"The bullets are ineffective!"

"Commander, what should we do?"

As the enormous body of the Sea Monk drew closer, some officers, sweating profusely, asked anxiously.

This has never happened before. Type A is also made of flesh and blood, and bullets are effective against them. Just now, this volley of bullets was enough to turn ordinary Type A into mincemeat, but it was ineffective against Umibozu. Is this a real monster?

"The use of heavy weapons is permitted!" The Uchiha Senmon gave the order without having time to think.

Although using heavy weapons in the city would be a big show and would inevitably cause a sensation, we can't worry about that now that we're in a crisis.

Several members of the special assault team switched to grenade launchers.

The special assault force is equipped with an MGL400mm grenade launcher with a six-round magazine, capable of firing six grenades at once.

"Bang!"

A 40mm grenade blasted a hole more than two meters in diameter in Umibozu's body, and water gushed out of the wound.

Seeing that the attack was effective, the team member immediately knelt down, placed the butt of the gun firmly on his shoulder, and pulled the trigger repeatedly, firing the other five grenades in one go!

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

A burst of intense flames erupted from the sea spirit, causing it to stumble and let out a mournful cry like a whale's song.

"Waaah—"

The explosion and the loud screams attracted the attention of nearby residents. People could be vaguely seen looking in this direction from the opposite bank of the Arakawa River, and a yacht that appeared out of nowhere on the Arakawa River was also approaching in this direction.

It was only because traffic was blocked in the Edogawa Ward near the coast that this commotion would have made headlines on the front page of the Tokyo News tomorrow.

"Continue the attack!"

The remaining few people were also holding grenade launchers, firing grenades at Umibozu.

Umibozu, who had been approaching the convoy, finally couldn't hold on any longer. His body, which was over ten meters tall, disintegrated into tons of water that poured down from the sky. A huge wave swept over the crowd and all the way to the base of the Sei-no-gumi headquarters.

"Got it!"

Although they were somewhat disheveled from being swept away by the waves, the special assault team still cheered with joy.

But before they could even savor the thrill of victory, Uchiha Senmon heard his teammates' exclamations. "Commander, there's unusual activity from Type A on the rooftop!"

Kisame Hoshigaki, who was on the rooftop, walked to the edge of the wall, bit his finger, and stretched out a hand. A drop of blood dripped from his fingertip and fell onto the puddles on the ground.

The water column churned and shot into the sky, and the original Umibozu reappeared, standing next to the three-story building.

"Immortality?"

Seeing that the Sea Monk, whom they had barely managed to kill, had come back to life, the morale of the special assault team plummeted, and their orderly formation began to crumble.

The Umibozu, which was over ten meters tall and taller than the rooftop, stretched out one hand and placed it on the rooftop. Kisame Hoshigaki stepped on its hand and was lifted into the air.

"As a mortal, it's quite an achievement that I managed to eliminate the Sea Mage once. But as long as I'm still here, and as long as the Arakawa River continues to flow into the sea, it will never die."

"You are lucky. I have eaten my fill today, so I will forgive your sins of offending me."

Kisame Hoshigaki clasped his hands together, and the giant Umibozu beneath his feet swayed before collapsing into a waterfall, the surging water rushing towards the Metropolitan Police Department troops.

Water Release: Waterfall Technique!

"Hold on to anything heavy nearby, or you'll be swept away!"

The surging waves swept the convoy away, sending the Metropolitan Police Department troops sprawling and in disarray.

Uchiha Senmon, clutching the police car door, saw the monster in the classic blue robe amidst the waves. He was as majestic as a water god, his feet treading on the waves as he disappeared into the Arakawa River.
