I'm a Hokage in Tokyo

Even a prince of the royal family was present.

Although the top 3 cabinet members including the Prime Minister and the Emperor were not present, this was still a closed-door meeting of extremely high standards.

These big shots were originally holding a meeting at Sakuradamon.

Of course, the supernatural events in the Sapporo shopping mall were not enough to make big shots of this level hold a special meeting. They were discussing countermeasures for the extraordinary events that occurred across the country after yesterday's Scarlet Moon miracle.

But the meeting was interrupted halfway through.

The satellite was immediately deployed to the scene, and the devastation left by the Yamata no Orochi after it wreaked havoc in Sapporo City was deeply imprinted in their eyes.

“There’s no need to discuss this anymore.”

They were arguing and discussing how to deal with the frequent monster riots after the Scarlet Moon Miracle, how to block public opinion, whitewash the situation, and continue to cover up the situation.

However, the appearance of Yamata no Orochi shattered their last glimmer of hope.

The Yamata no Orochi that descended upon Sapporo City caused more disasters than what happened yesterday alone.

Everyone present here is a cunning and experienced politician, and they are well aware of the scope and number of people affected by the disaster in Sapporo. This disaster is definitely several times more extensive and severe than the battle between the Saint Monk of the Earth and the Scorpion of the Red Sand!

After that incident, the Japanese government tried its best to barely explain it to the domestic public.

You can fool your own people, but you cannot fool other countries.

The pressure from major powers that already knew the truth was growing, and some other countries had also heard the rumors and were making indirect threats through diplomatic channels.

As a result, a lot of the Prime Minister's hair fell out.

Even big shots like them were under heavy psychological pressure. Now that the last layer of fig leaf had been pierced by the Yamata no Orochi, they saw that things were hopeless and felt a sense of relief as if the jar was broken.

Everyone knows that things have now reached a point where they have to be honest with the public.

"The Yamata no Orochi is simply a moving natural disaster, more powerful than the Holy Monk of Earth and Land!"

The battle between Master Jilu and the Red Sand Monument only destroyed half of the street, but the destructive power of the Yamata-no-Orochi was obviously far beyond the two. Tall buildings under it were like sand castles that could be knocked down effortlessly.

Some people have a complex mentality of both gratitude and regret.

Fortunately, it happened in Hokkaido, which is sparsely populated. If it happened in the Tokyo metropolitan area or the Osaka metropolitan area, the number of casualties would easily be several times higher, and Japan's economy would also stagnate...

Oh, it has stagnated, that means going back ten years.

But if it was going to happen in Hokkaido, why did it happen in Sapporo, a city with a population of over one million?

If it was in Sunagawa City, Utashinai City, or even in the countryside in Tsukigata Town or Kuriyama Town, they might be able to continue to keep the peace and pretend that nothing had happened.

what a pity.

"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Hmm, it's gone? Really gone. This monster has only seven heads. Is it really the Yamata no Orochi?" The speaker was Prince Akishino Fumihito, the second son of the retired emperor and the current first in line to the throne.

He did not look serious like the other people at the meeting, but was as excited as if he was watching a Hollywood blockbuster.

Prince Akishino Fumihito was even thoughtful. He counted the heads of the Yamata no Orochi in a frivolous manner and shouted as if he had discovered a new continent.

The others were surprised and started counting as well. There were indeed only seven heads!

After the appearance of Yamata no Orochi, they only noticed that the giant snake monster had many heads and did not count them at all. Because of cultural influence, they subconsciously regarded it as Yamata no Orochi.

"It's just a head, it's not much of a difference."

"Could it be Satan?"

The American major general, who had been silently watching the satellite images, drew a cross on his chest with his fingers and recited Chapter 12 of the Book of Revelation:

"And another sign appeared in heaven: a great red dragon with seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads were seven crowns. … The great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world. He was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him."

Satan?

Dragon snakes are extremely similar creatures and are to some extent identical. The giant snake that appeared in Sapporo City had exactly seven heads, the correct number.

"General Woodman, although the monster also has seven heads, it has no horns and is also white."

Prince Akishino smiled and said, "Besides, how could Satan appear in the Far East where there is no religion?"

"Haha."

General Woodman was a little embarrassed.

Multi-headed dragons and snakes are common monsters in myths and legends around the world, such as Hydra in Greece, Xiangliu in the mainland, the red dragon in the Bible, and Yamata no Orochi in Japan...

However, people will instinctively be influenced by their own cultural circle and think accordingly.

After the resurrection of the supernatural, the supernatural beings that appeared one after another were mostly inextricably linked to East Asian culture, and the gods and Buddhas of East Asia were also looming behind them. This would more or less shake the faith of Americans who believed in monotheism.

General Woodman speculated that the multi-headed snake monster was Satan, and he also had a complex mentality of searching the Bible for evidence to prove that their God existed.

"Even if it's the Yamata no Orochi, we can't let it raze Sapporo to the ground!"

While General Woodman was chatting with Prince Akishino, the ministers at the scene had a brief discussion and decisively ordered the Northern Air Self-Defense Force's fighter fleet at Chitose Base, which is closest to Sapporo, to rush to the scene.

Not long after the order was given, Uchiha Itachi's Susanoo was released.

Everyone was stunned by the fierce battle between the two giants, Susanoo and Yamata no Orochi, which turned the city of Sapporo upside down. It was like the end of the world.

This is basically two monsters fighting!

Until Susanoo released its first form and tore the Yamata no Orochi in half with absolute violence.

The battle between gods and demons seemed to have come to an end.

Only then did they wake up from their dream and look at each other in bewilderment.

The legendary great demon Yamata no Orochi was suppressed by the Skeleton Giant just like this? !

"Who exactly is this giant skeleton? Which god or Buddha is he?"

"cough."

As the only expert group member who was allowed to attend the meeting and was an authority in the field of monster folklore, Professor Changshan coughed lightly, immediately attracting the attention of most people.

Professor Changshan pushed his eye sockets and said seriously:

"I suspect that the true form of this giant skeleton may be a 'wild skeleton' formed from corpses on the battlefield!"

Chapter 253 Chapter 254 A Great Change Unseen in Two Thousand Years

"Wild Skeleton?"

Professor Changshan, a monster folklorist, made a shocking statement, causing all the bigwigs to turn their attention to him.

Being stared at by so many powerful people, Professor Changshan's face flushed, his body felt light and he almost moaned.

Sbarasi, this is the wonderful feeling of being valued!

Thanks to the ancient supernatural beings and legendary monsters who took over the stage, Professor Changshan, who had been sitting on the bench of the Metropolitan Police Department's expert group for many years, has become the most sought-after figure in the expert group.

He was even allowed to attend such a high-level meeting. Could other experts reach the pinnacle of life like him? !

"Who is this guy?"

The Metropolitan Police Department chief frowned and asked.

"Well, this is Professor Changshan from the Metropolitan Police Department's expert group. He is an authority in the field of domestic monster folklore. He has provided a lot of valuable suggestions for the work of the Metropolitan Police Department."

Among the powerful bosses, the police chief, who seemed a little pale in comparison, introduced:

"Professor Changshan, you said this giant skeleton is a wild skeleton. What kind of monster is a wild skeleton?"

"The wild skeletons are a collection of the resentment of the soldiers who were killed on the battlefield and whose bodies were left exposed in the wilderness with no one to bury them." Professor Changshan calmed down his excitement and said seriously.

"The resentment of the fallen soldiers merged into one, turning into a giant skeleton as tall as a building. It roams the night and hunts humans."

In order to strengthen his persuasiveness, Professor Changshan took out his tablet, quickly scrolled through the catalog, and found the Ukiyoe of the Arasuke in the Yokai Encyclopedia.

"The skeleton giant summoned by the Akatsuki organization in Sapporo City is most likely the Arashin!"

A group of big shots gathered around to take a look at the tablet, and then compared it with the satellite images on the big screen.

The monster Arasuke in Ukiyo-e is indeed somewhat similar to the skeleton giant.

But they were all skeptical, and most of them even had expressions of suspicion on their faces.

Although they are both huge human-shaped skeletons, the Wild Skull does not have the majesty and sacredness that symbolizes power like the latter compared to the skeleton giants in Sapporo City.

Just like a kitten and a lion, although they are both cats, no one would believe that they are the same species.

not to mention……

"You are too fanciful. How could a country monster like Arasuke, who is so unpopular that no one has ever heard of, suppress a great monster like Yamata no Orochi that only Takeha Susanoo could kill?"

Prince Akishino curled his lips in disapproval and said.

The other bigwigs looked at each other and agreed with him, obviously holding similar views.

The three most famous monsters in Japanese legends are Shuten-doji of Mt. Oe, Tamamonomae, the white-faced, golden-haired nine-tailed fox, and Daitengu, the incarnation of Emperor Sutoku. They are all big monsters at the king level of monsters.

The Yamata-no-Orochi is even more powerful than the three great monsters and is a demon god that even gods fear.

Although the basilisk that appeared in Sapporo City had only seven heads, and it was unknown whether it was an injured Yamata-no-Orochi, its cub, or a descendant of impure blood, it was unlikely to be defeated by a collection of small fry souls like the Wild Skull.

Professor Changshan was somewhat unconvinced and wanted to refute something, but when he saw that the person who was speaking was Prince Akishino Fumihito, the son of the current emperor, the younger brother of the emperor, and the first in line to the throne, his knees felt weak and he almost fell to the ground.

Ah, Prince Akishino actually condescended to talk to a commoner like me? !

"Hey! Your Highness, what you said is very true. You are really far-sighted! It is my fault for not thinking it through." Professor Changshan was flattered and bowed repeatedly, speaking in a flattering voice.

The bigwigs in the conference room temporarily put aside the issue of what the true form of the Skeleton Giant was and turned to more realistic issues, namely how to deal with the mess in Sapporo City and the subsequent chain reactions at home and abroad.

"The city of Sapporo was almost destroyed. It's too big to keep it under wraps. The country is definitely in an uproar, and international public opinion is in an uproar. We should consider being open with the public, or to what extent we should disclose the extraordinary incident."

"Yes, but we should all be mentally prepared. This day will come sooner or later."

Everyone knows that an unprecedented new era is about to arrive.

With the appearance of the Yamata-no-Orochi in Sapporo as a landmark event, Japan's extraordinary era will officially begin.

All the bigwigs present at the meeting looked solemn and had frowned.

This is a major change that has not happened in two thousand years!

Some people are concerned about the country and the people, and are worried that after the extraordinary events are made public, Japan's political, economic and international situation will slide into an uncontrollable abyss; some people are worried about gains and losses, and are considering how to deal with it next in order to preserve their own power and family status; there are even more ambitious people who believe that heroes are made by the times and want to gain more benefits in the upcoming chaotic extraordinary era, or even soar into the sky and become extraordinary people!

"Let's put other things aside for now. The number of people affected in Sapporo may exceed 100,000. We must remind the Prime Minister to prepare for relief for the victims."

Japan is an island country prone to disasters and frequent geological disasters. The disaster that Sapporo encountered is definitely the most severe one since Reiwa.

For the Japanese government, the post-disaster reconstruction of Sapporo is also a huge test.

"One hundred thousand? Are there so many people in Hokkaido?"

Prince Akishino was a little surprised, but then he looked nonchalant and said something politically incorrect that might get slammed if it got out:

"But the people living in Hokkaido are all Ainu people, not the Yamato people, descendants of the gods of Takamagahara. If they die, they die. It's no big deal."

When everyone heard this, their faces looked a little strange. Some of them twitched the corners of their mouths, not knowing what to say.

Japan is a country with a simple ethnic structure. Before 2008, the Japanese government even claimed that Japan was a mono-ethnic country and did not recognize the existence of ethnic minorities.

It was not until 08 that the Japanese government recognized the Ainu as the indigenous people of Hokkaido, and this is the only recognized ethnic group. According to official statistics, the Ainu population is 2.5, and more or less of them have Yamato blood.

Among Hokkaido's population of five million, the proportion of Ainu people is less than one percent. It is conceivable that the vast majority of the victims in Sapporo are Yamato people.

In the Reiwa era, there is still this stereotype that "people in Ezo are all Ainu natives"!

His Highness Prince Akishino Fumihito is known for his aloofness from worldly matters, but now it seems that he is simply not interested in worldly matters.

However, Japanese politics is filled with a large number of fools who have reached high positions by virtue of their bloodline, and they are no strangers to people like Prince Akishino Fumihito.

"Now that the Yamata no Orochi that was wreaking havoc in the town has been suppressed, should the Air Self-Defense Force sent to Sapporo be called back?"

"NO!"

Major General Woodman, who had never cared about what the Japanese were discussing, stared at Susanoo on the big screen with his brown pupils and said coldly:

"Isn't there still one monster? The fighter formation can't turn back!"

Major General Woodman demonstrated the inherent tough attitude and strong aggressiveness of the American hawks.

"That man is a member of the anti-human terrorist organization Akatsuki. This is a rare opportunity. Kill him as well!"

"This……"

The bigwigs in the conference room looked at each other, all somewhat hesitant.

"General Woodman, there is no need to go to war with the extraordinary people for the time being."
