I became Hokage in Tokyo

Chapters 86 and 087: To be a dog of America is...

In the Fifth Division of the Public Security Department of the Metropolitan Police Department, Division Chief Mori was holding a small meeting with a group of officers.

There were only a dozen or so people present, half of whom were either blond and blue-eyed or had deep-set eyes and high noses, showing obvious signs of mixed race, and a few were simply foreigners through and through.

Even the remaining Asian police officers are not native-born; almost all of them are Japanese Americans who were born in the United States and have now been naturalized as Japanese citizens.

"The Uchiha Sage's interrogation was handled leniently in the end, without even a disciplinary action."

"What a pity. Uchiha Senmon is the number one henchman of the Fourth Investigation Division. If we could take him down, dealing with the Fourth Investigation Division would be much easier in the future."

Several police officers began to discuss quietly, while secretly watching Section Chief Mori's expression above them.

The one who launched the attack on the Uchiha Sage Clan and orchestrated the interrogation was Section Chief Mori of the Fifth Division. Section Chief Mori's mood is probably not very good.

But to my surprise, Section Chief Mori, with his dark skin, had a smile on his face, looking as gentle as a spring breeze.

Section Chief Mori coughed a few times before announcing to those below:

"You are all elite operators of Section 5. I'm holding this small meeting today to announce something to you so that you can prepare yourselves mentally in advance."

Section Chief Mori smiled smugly, raised his arm, and clenched his fist.

"General William has officially replied to me; they will put pressure on the Metropolitan Police Department to merge the Fourth and Fifth Investigation Divisions. This means that our Fifth Division is finally going to overtake the Fourth Investigation Division!"

The police officers below were taken aback for a moment, then immediately clapped and cheered enthusiastically, their applause thundering.

"God bless America!"

"God bless America!"

"Make America great again!"

Needless to say, the mixed-race and naturalized police officers who were directly planted from the United States also seemed quite proud of themselves.

Section Chief Mori smiled smugly.

The nearly decade-long battle between Investigation Section 4 and Public Security Section 5 is finally coming to an end, with Section 5 emerging victorious.

Indeed, being America's dog is the greatest honor!

The supernatural phenomenon that occurred in 1990 was naturally reported to Yokota Air Base immediately.

The United States is certainly not indifferent to the supernatural phenomenon that has only occurred in Japan.

The Fifth Division, which deals with extraordinary events, was established with a strong American background from the very beginning. The core team that was initially built consisted of people of Japanese-American or Japanese-American descent who were drawn from overseas.

It has never been a secret that the Fifth Division has been under the dual leadership of the Metropolitan Police Department and the United States since its establishment.

You could say that for Section 5, the Metropolitan Police Department is just an adoptive father, while the United States is the real father.

The Fourth Investigation Division, which was subsequently established, was set up by the island nation's local forces in order to seize control of the supernatural.

Or, to put it more pitifully, it was established so that it could get a share of the pie from supernatural research and not have it all monopolized by the United States.

Therefore, the conflict between the Fourth and Fifth Investigation Divisions is not only a matter of old and new grudges between the Criminal Investigation Department and the Public Security Department, but also involves the struggle between the two countries.

Japan, where the Japanese are stationed, is a very strange country. If you call it a colony, it has a certain degree of sovereignty and can sometimes stand up and bargain with the mother country. But if you say it has sovereignty, the Yokota Airspace is still there.

Yokota Airspace is an area of ​​airspace over Tokyo that has been controlled by the United States since the end of World War II.

Japanese aircraft, including those of various airlines, are not allowed to pass through this Yokota Airspace. Airlines wishing to reach Tokyo must detour around it. Every year, the civil aviation industry incurs an additional 140 billion yen in fuel costs and economic losses due to this Yokota Airspace.

Can a country still be called a sovereign state if its own aircraft cannot fly over its capital city?

Although Section Chief Mori is neither a naturalized Japanese nor of mixed race, his entire family immigrated to the free country long ago, and his loyalty is beyond question; otherwise, he would not have been promoted to the important position of Section Chief of the Fifth Section.

Therefore, he was quite clear about the inside story.

While the existence of the supernatural is indeed wondrous, and extraordinary power is captivating, progress in supernatural research over the years has been disappointing, with substantial investments going down the drain. Furthermore, there are also dissenting opinions about supernatural research overseas.

Every year, astronomical sums are spent, yet it barely makes a ripple. With so much money, it would be better to use it for military purchases or to pocket the money on Wall Street to give bonuses to executives.

If all else fails, food vouchers will do, so that the black people won't come back to buy things for free.

It is precisely because of the lack of progress in supernatural research that the United States has been able to tolerate the Metropolitan Police Department's underhanded tactics.

After all, we need to give Japan something to look forward to, so that the Metropolitan Police Department doesn't just go through the motions in the search.

However, the recent emergence of human superhumans has demonstrated the possibility that superhuman power can be controlled by humans. Mi Fang's confidence has increased significantly. Seeing that Section 4 was getting in his way, he stopped even paying attention to the surface and decided to take matters into his own hands.

The first step is to merge the Fourth Investigation Division into the Fifth Public Security Division.

"General William said that he will make this happen as soon as a suitable opportunity arises. You must keep this a secret for now and not let the news leak out."

Despite saying that, Section Chief Mori looked relaxed. Although everyone present was still Japanese, the United States was their true homeland.

In the next lesson, the topic of conversation among the police officers shifted to the recent Wujiashan incident.

"By the way, hasn't the section chief been advocating for including superhumans on the wanted list? The section chief was indeed prescient."

A mixed-race police officer said with admiration:

"The monk Jiroku who appeared on Mount Wujia has killed so many people, which indirectly demonstrates the dangerousness and antisocial personality of superhumans. Has the section chief reconsidered recommending that the Metropolitan Police Department add superhumans to the wanted list?"

To everyone's surprise, upon hearing this, Section Chief Mori's expression turned rather unpleasant. He glared at the police officer and said irritably:

Let's not talk about this anymore.

The monk named Dilu, although a Buddhist monk, was so bloodthirsty that it was terrifying. In one go, he sent more than a hundred members of the Zhengxin Society to their deaths in the Western Paradise to meet the Buddha.

Furthermore, according to the on-site investigation team's deduction, it was also very unusual for the fire to burn down the Zhengxin Society headquarters in such a rainy weather. The entire manor may have been destroyed by that monk using supernatural power.

The expert group's assessment of the superhuman's combat capabilities was suddenly raised several levels.

It is human nature to bully the weak and fear the strong. For such a villain, aren't we afraid that he might run to the Metropolitan Police Department and cause a big scandal?

Instead of picking the soft persimmon, let's discuss another superhuman, the red-eyed man.

"Regarding the extraordinary individual who appeared in the abandoned mall, with his strange attire—black with red clouds—the expert team believes it has symbolic meaning..."

Just then, the conference room door was kicked open, and a fat police officer rushed in, sweating profusely.

"What's going on? I'm in a meeting here, what are you doing barging in?" Section Chief Mori said sternly, his dark face as intimidating as a living Yama, and reprimanded him without any politeness.

"An extraordinary individual... Section Chief..."

The fat police officer was panting heavily, gesturing wildly at Section Chief Mori, when suddenly his eyes rolled back, he foamed at the mouth, and his body fell heavily to the ground.

Uchiha Itachi, dressed in a long red robe with red clouds, swaggered in from outside, his scarlet eyes sweeping across the room before fixing on the man on the platform:

"You're looking for me?"
