I became Hokage in Tokyo

Chapter 96-099 There's No Escape

The Onimusha, clad in armor, ignored the warning tape and barricades erected by the Metropolitan Police Department to block the entrance to Sato's used shop.

With a swift movement, a sword aura cleaved the barrier in two before striking the locked gate.

The door groaned under the strain and collapsed with a crash!

The Onimusha entered through the entrance hall, passed through the corridor, and arrived in the living room.

Although Sato's old house has been deserted for over a decade, its interior is not covered in thick dust like those dilapidated old houses.

At first glance, the furnishings and floors inside the house were very clean, suggesting that the owner had not been out for long.

However, the room was unusually quiet and unusually cold.

Although it was broad daylight and sunlight streamed in through the wide-open main entrance, the room was still deathly still, chilling and eerily quiet, with an atmosphere reminiscent of a morgue.

On the Onimusha's cheek, two dark blue ghost flames flickered more intensely in the eye sockets, with faint crimson halos seemingly flashing within them.

The interior of this haunted house is permeated with intense emotions—a special chakra of resentment and hatred towards the living—permeating every corner.

If you stay in such a horrible place for too long, even without evil spirits, an ordinary person will fall seriously ill from being corrupted by special chakra.

Was the evil spirit that attacked him hiding in a house like this?

If the mountain won't come to me, I'll go to the mountain. Since my home has been robbed by an evil spirit, Uchiha Naruto naturally has to return the favor and pay a visit.

Naruto Uchiha raised his head, glanced casually at the red-glowing camera on the ceiling, and then slashed down with his Spider Cutter, cutting the living room dining table in two.

Not only that, Naruto Uchiha twisted the blade of his spider-slicing sword and swung it forward.

A sharp sword light stretched from the entrance wall all the way to the second-floor staircase, leaving a straight crack in the wall, through which the severed steel bars were clearly visible.

As Naruto Uchiha searched the house for traces of the evil spirit, he casually unleashed a series of sword strikes, slashing the furniture and walls to pieces.

From the living room all the way up to the second floor and then to the attic, Uchiha Naruto wreaked havoc at will.

According to the records, the evil spirit will relentlessly attack anyone who attempts to damage Sato's old house.

Naruto Uchiha returned to the first floor and stood quietly in the living room, waiting.

If you ignore the eerie blue flames burning fiercely on the Onimusha armor, it looks like armor placed in a room as a decoration.

However, more than half an hour had passed since Naruto Uchiha entered the house, and the evil spirit still hadn't appeared.

It now seems that although the evil spirit lacked reason, it also seemed to have the instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm, knowing that the approaching party was not friendly.

"In that case, we'll have to go for the big one."

The two ghostly flames on the Oni Warrior's cheeks began to flicker again, and phosphorescent sparks drifted out from the gaps in his armor. He raised his sleeve armor, and the spider-slaying sword in his hand gleamed with an ominous cold light.

"Slay any demon you see!"

A massive sword aura swept across, tearing a huge wound vertically from the attic to the first floor.

"Boom!"

The windows were shattered, rubble was scattered everywhere, dust filled the air, and the entire medieval house belatedly began to tremble, teetering on the verge of collapse.

But the Onimusha showed no sign of stopping. This time, he placed the Spider Cutter horizontally behind him and assumed an Iai stance, as if he was about to cut the old house in half with his next move.

This time, the evil spirit finally manifested, its gray eyes flashing with the same resentment and hatred as before.

It opened its huge, black mouth as if to let out a howl, but the legendary sword that had slain the earth spider struck its body in the blink of an eye.

The sword light lingered in the air before a majestic and ancient voice echoed in the room.

"Slay any demon you see—"

A sword is faster than a sound.

…………

A hundred meters above Sato's old house, an armed helicopter was circling, carrying missiles under its fuselage, and its dark cannon muzzle was open, pointing downwards.

The commander, who had rushed there by helicopter, was surrounded by several experts at a nearby base, intently analyzing the every move of the Onimusha through monitoring equipment installed in Sato's used house.

"Did Minamoto no Yorimitsu's weapons transform into Oni warriors and arrive here because of the evil spirits of the Sato family?"

"That's it! Minamoto no Yorimitsu was a strange and ruthless killer in legends, who slew countless demons. He must have been resurrected because he sensed an evil aura," a yokai folklorist said excitedly.

The historian standing nearby had a subtle expression on his face, but he didn't say anything.

In history, Minamoto no Yorimitsu was merely a military commander with some military achievements. The fact that he was lauded to the skies was simply a political necessity after Minamoto no Yoritomo established the Kamakura Shogunate.

However, the footage of Onimusha slaying evil spirits in the surveillance video has made historians wonder if they have studied fake history.

Did Minamoto no Yorimitsu's deeds of slaying demons and monsters really happen?

The Metropolitan Police Department was already aware of what had happened inside the museum, and the surveillance video from the exhibition area was immediately transmitted to the department.

Minamoto no Yorimitsu's weapons have been revived!

This incredible scene left many experts and high-ranking officials of the Metropolitan Police Department completely astonished.

The prevailing theory was that some unknown anomaly occurred in the world after 19 Heisei, which gave rise to the strange existences of Type A and Type B. However, it now seems that this may not be the case.

Arakawa Water God, Umibozu, Minamoto no Yorimitsu, and other legendary monsters and samurai are now walking on the earth. Is this a true revival of mythology?

What about the Buddhas in the sky and the gods of Takamagahara? Do they really exist?

Although the fat otaku had been trying to prove his innocence after being arrested, the Metropolitan Police Department was not going to believe his nonsense.

The fat otaku has been urgently transported by helicopter to the Metropolitan Police Department for interrogation.

The successful capture of a superhuman was certainly a great victory, somewhat washing away the shame of being invaded by a superhuman. However, the Metropolitan Police Department was not satisfied and set its sights on Minamoto no Yorimitsu's weapons and Spider Cutter.

Spider Cutter was already a legendary sword, but now it seems it might very well be a divine weapon with extraordinary power!

"The SATs are here? Great, excellent!"

The on-site commander was thrilled upon hearing the news.

Their command post arrived ahead of time by helicopter. The reason why the follow-up troops were able to arrive in such a short time was because the Metropolitan Police Department was still on high alert after the invasion by superhumans yesterday. The entire violent apparatus was already in operation, with its gears meshing precisely and running efficiently.

"Excuse my bluntness, but Minamoto no Yorimitsu's Oni warriors can deflect bullets, so ordinary firearms are probably useless against them," said Kanbara Yuuji after a moment's hesitation.

"We'll have to use heavy weapons."

"Absolutely not! Lord Minamoto no Yorimitsu's weapons and spider-cutting blade are a thousand years old and are national treasures!" The priest of Ōyama-giri Shrine was also in the museum and was brought along.

Although he didn't know how the weapons he worshipped had suddenly awakened, the priest was still anxious and tried to stop them when he heard that heavy weapons were to be used.

"Don't worry, our superiors also require us to recover Minamoto no Yorimitsu's armor and Spider Cutter as much as possible. We won't use heavy weapons unless absolutely necessary." The commander glanced at the priest and said with a complicated expression.

"After the superhuman demonstrated the ability to cut bullets with a knife, the Metropolitan Police Department had already made contingency plans to capture the sword-wielding superhuman alive rather than ending up with a pile of flesh. The SAT also brought special equipment this time."

Ironically, the contingency plan was completely useless; the superhuman in the red cloud and black robe was even more terrifying than expected.

Fortunately, he wasn't the target this time.

"Unless this Oni Warrior possesses the teleportation ability of other superhumans, he's doomed this time!"
