I became Hokage in Tokyo

Chapter 74-075 The Battle of Eyes

Beichen cuts with a single stroke!

The slash struck Tsukimi Riha, as if splitting her in two.

But upon closer inspection, it was just a blur; Tsukimi Inaba had already leisurely swayed in place and escaped the attack range.

Naruto Uchiha took a few steps back, holding his sword with both hands in a Kasumi-like posture.

Uchiha Naruto was not using his full strength; he was only using the speed and strength of an ordinary high school boy. Even so, he felt a strong sense of incongruity during the match. Tsukimi was always able to dodge Uchiha Naruto's bamboo sword one step ahead, even dodging before the attack was launched.

"Could this be the legendary precognition, telepathy, or premonition?"

"He knows many schools of thought, but he's a jack-of-all-trades and master of none, which disappoints me. There's no need to compare anymore."

Tsukimi Inaba spoke calmly, gripping the hilt of her sword with both hands, sheathing the bamboo sword at her waist and letting it hang behind her, assuming the starting stance of a witch's strike.

"I think so too."

These sword styles, which he temporarily copied using his Sharingan, were truly flashy but impractical to him.

Naruto Uchiha, who previously knew absolutely nothing about swordsmanship, was able to use his Sharingan's eyesight and his sheer agility that surpassed the limits of ordinary people to cut bullets. Even those who had honed their skills for decades and possessed superior swordsmanship could not have done such a thing.

This is the world of difference between mortals and extraordinary beings; for Uchiha Naruto, swordsmanship was merely a toy.

"Will the witch strike it down?"

Naruto Uchiha's pupils contracted, then he laughed heartily, abandoning all his fancy sword techniques and returning to the basics.

A powerful, straight slash, aimed directly at Tsukimi Inaba's small head, came crashing down with overwhelming force.

"That was too hasty!"

Matsudaira Chiyo couldn't help but blurt out that Uchiha Naruto's swordsmanship level was far beyond her expectations, but it was only at the level of qualifying for the national high school tournament, far less amazing than the Witch of Swordsmanship.

Based on Uchiha Naruto's performance, he should have been able to hold out for a few more rounds, but this attack from Tang Zhu, which was straight and direct, was practically a delivery to his door. He would undoubtedly be knocked down and disarmed by the witch.

"Snapped!"

A bamboo sword flew high into the air, and a second later it landed on the ground with a crackling sound.

Tsukimi Inaba's hands clenched loosely, her empty, chaotic left eye blinked, and the bamboo sword in her hand vanished without a trace.

"noodle."

Naruto Uchiha gently tapped Inaba's head with his bamboo sword.

"What's going on?" Matsudaira Chiyo and Tsuda-senpai looked at each other, both completely astonished.

Why was it that after the witch knocked it down, it was Tsukimi Inaba's bamboo sword that was knocked down instead?

In that split second, only Uchiha Naruto and Tsukimi Inaba understood what had happened.

Just as Tsukimi Inaba was preparing to knock down and deflect Uchiha Naruto's bamboo sword with the witch's blow, Uchiha Naruto flipped his sword, collided with the tip of Tsukimi Inaba's sword, and used the momentum to deflect her bamboo sword away instead.

"The Witch's Strike, it seems we can change its name, after all, I'm a boy." Uchiha Naruto chuckled as he sheathed his bamboo sword.

Inaba Tsukimi raised her small face, staring at Naruto Uchiha with unfocused pupils, without saying a word.

"This move isn't actually difficult. It's not a contest of swordsmanship, but a battle of eyes."

Naruto Uchiha leaned down and whispered in Tsukimi Inaba's ear, "It seems my judgment is better than Tsukimi's."

"You and I are very similar." Tsukimi Inaba slightly raised the corners of her mouth, though the smile was as faint as a bubble under the sun or the shimmering light on the snow.

"I wonder if you have time later, Tsukimi-san. There are some things I'd like to discuss with you privately."

"Dating?"

"Let's just say that's how it is," Uchiha Naruto said with a smile.

"What date? Tsukimi-san is so young, this is a crime!"

At this moment, Matsudaira Chiyo had already brought Tsuda-senpai over. Upon hearing those two words, she glared at Uchiha Naruto. Then, she smiled at Tsukimi-ri Inaba:

"Tsukimi-san, you can't be fooled by a guy like that... Blood! Tsukimi-san, your mouth..."

A hint of crimson spilled from the corner of Inaba's mouth in Tsukimi!

Not only that, her nose also started bleeding profusely, and blood kept flowing from her mouth and nose.

Matsudaira Chiyo was shocked and quickly took out her handkerchief to wipe Tsukimi Inaba's face.

But no matter how much she wiped, the bleeding wouldn't stop. Matsudaira Chiyo was so frightened that she had to ask Uchiha Naruto to pick her up and take her to the infirmary.

"Why is she bleeding so much? Uchiha, quickly carry her to the infirmary! No, take her to the hospital in my car!"

But Tsukimi Inaba covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, waved her hand, and pointed to the shoulder bag in the corner. Uchiha Naruto understood immediately and picked up the shoulder bag.

When Inaba unzipped her zipper, inside were colorful bottles and jars with English labels.

She took out a jar, picked up a few capsules, and swallowed them directly along with the blood in her mouth.

After tilting her head back for several seconds, Tsukimi Inaba lowered her head. Bloodstains, which had not yet been wiped clean, remained on her tender face. Her skin, which was already almost transparent white, became even paler and bloodless, giving her a sickly appearance.

"Tsukimi-san, are you alright? Did you get hurt during the match just now?" Matsudaira Chiyo asked cautiously.

"No, it's a minor problem that only flares up occasionally."

Tsukimi Inaba continued wiping her face with a handkerchief without changing her expression. After wiping her face clean, she folded the handkerchief and put it in her pocket.

"Since I've lost, as agreed..."

"Don't say anything more, let's go to the hospital first. I'm worried about you like this."

"Need not."

Tsukimi Inaba said coldly.

Suddenly, she collapsed to the ground with a look of pain on her face. Tsukimi Inaba was kneeling on the ground, pressing her right hand against the back of her left neck, beads of cold sweat on her forehead, and her teeth grinding together.

Everyone present was startled. Matsudaira Chiyo picked up her phone to call the driver to come over.

Even Uchiha Naruto was no exception, because a sinister and cold chakra burst forth from Inaba's body in Tsukimi!

"I feel it! There's no mistake!"

Tsukimi Inaba suddenly looked up, gazing westward, her usually indifferent tone now filled with excitement.

With a swift movement, she landed in a corner of the kendo dojo, picked up her sword pouch, and dashed out, disappearing from everyone's sight as almost an invisible afterimage.

……

"Hmm, did we just pass through Bunkyo Ward?"

A black luxury car covered with a dark one-way transparent film is driving on Tokyo's No. 5 Expressway, heading south towards Chiyoda Ward.

In the back seat of the luxury car, a man wearing a black hood and a white coat, hissed like a viper at the bodyguard in a black suit beside him.

The hands, bound by gleaming silver handcuffs, were covered in white scales.
