I'm a Hokage in Tokyo

The mystery is finally solved. It turns out that this is the origin of the monsters and evil spirits that suddenly appeared in Japan after 1998!

The Superintendent of Police, who had been leading Investigation Section 4 and Public Security Section 5 in responding to supernatural incidents, became increasingly excited.

A full fifteen years!

Uchiha Senmon's expression was indescribably complicated, with a hint of sadness deep in his eyes.

I don’t know if it’s for Uchiha Senmon himself or for all the citizens who died and suffered in supernatural events.

"As time went on, the space cracks grew larger and larger, and even formed a stable channel. By April of this year, the cracks were large enough to send projections to the real world without any obstruction."

Everyone looked at each other and nodded repeatedly.

So that's why people from Akatsuki can appear in Japan one after another to cause trouble.

"Well, that's pretty much the whole story. I've been talking to you bunch of stinky old men for so long that my mouth is dry."

Jiraiya picked up the wine glass containing the ice ball and drank it all, then let out a sigh of relief.

"What a waste of time. I had so much fun chatting with the girls before, but I'm really bored with a bunch of grown men. Can't you find some pretty girls to be officials?"

Bureaucrats such as the Governor of Tokyo and the Minister of Defense, who normally hold high positions of power, were now being lectured like elementary school students. They obeyed orders submissively and did not dare to show any dissatisfaction.

Several people opened their mouths as if they wanted to say something, but did not dare to.

"Oh, you can talk now."

Jiraiya poured himself a few glasses of wine to moisten his throat, raised his eyelids and chuckled:

"Although you still have many questions, I am already tired. But I am not a demon, so I will show mercy and allow you to ask three questions."

Everyone's face turned pale and they were so nervous that cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.

Now they have no room for bargaining.

The next three questions will inevitably affect the future of tens of millions of people in this country.

It is no exaggeration to say that Japan has now reached a historical turning point in its national destiny.

You must be extra careful!

"I have not yet answered the previous question."

Jiraiya showed a mischievous smile on his face, looked at the Governor of Tokyo, and said:

"That's right, all members of the Akatsuki organization are Kage-level warriors! Now there are two more questions left."

Chapter 314 Chapter 315 The Divine Tree and the Nine-Tailed Fox

"There are two more questions left."

Jiraiya's words left everyone dumbfounded, and their expressions were very interesting.

Is that a problem?!

"That counts as..."

The Tokyo governor, with an incredulous look on his face, had just opened his mouth to say a few words when Uchiha Senmon quickly covered his mouth.

"Well done, Inspector Uchiha!"

The Superintendent of Police immediately gave him an appreciative look, and the other bigwigs also reacted belatedly and glared at the Governor of Tokyo.

"Hey, Ide, stop being stupid."

"Governor, please shut up!"

It would be really funny if the Governor of Tokyo asked "That's a question too" and Lord Jiraiya said "Yes, there is only one question left".

Faced with the scolding from his colleagues, the governor of Tokyo's face turned pale and blue, and he shrank his neck and dared not say anything.

The first question that the Tokyo governor asked without permission, "Are all members of the Akatsuki organization Kage-level strongmen?", although it has some value, it is not worth wasting the three precious question slots.

If he uses the second question in such a ridiculous way, everyone will eat the Governor of Tokyo alive on the spot!

The remaining two issues are of great importance and may very likely determine Japan's future destiny for the next hundred years. No one present dared to act on their own.

At the same time, the members of the National Diet who were working overtime in the National Diet Building to monitor the situation and the governors of various prefectures were also excited and filled with indignation.

"If I don't talk, will I be suffocated to death? I must jerk him off to the end!"

"Who promoted this idiot Tokyo governor to this position?"

“The cabinet must be held accountable for this.”

In his words, the Governor of Tokyo seemed to have become the great sinner of the Yamato nation.

The Prime Minister and several cabinet ministers who attended the meeting also looked unhappy.

The Governor of Tokyo is naturally their man, but the mistake he made was so low-level that he was criticized and attacked by the opposition parties and local forces, leaving them speechless.

"Now is not the time to pursue the Tokyo Governor's inappropriate remarks. First, consider what the remaining two questions should be! If we drag on for too long and make Lord Jiraiya unhappy, and the remaining two questions go down the drain, then that would be a loss and irresponsible to the country."

At the Prime Minister's instruction, the Minister of Justice stood up and spoke loudly.

The Law Minister's words are not without reason.

Because of the shock brought about by the extraordinary incident, Japan is currently in turmoil, people are in panic, and society is in chaos. Even the opposition party does not want to take the blame, and the condemnation has temporarily subsided.

"If we can only ask two questions, it's too few. Many mysteries cannot be solved. Can't we ask a few more?"

The congressmen began to ponder one by one, weighing the pros and cons, and for a moment they didn't know what to ask that would be the most beneficial.

If possible, the Japanese top leaders would certainly like to hold a press conference and let Jiraiya answer all questions in detail.

But they also knew how to assess the situation. Now it was the Japanese top brass who needed Jiraiya's help, and Jiraiya was already doing them a favor by allowing them to ask questions.

To make more demands is to be arrogant and shameless.

"Can we use the beauty trap? Pick out the ones with the biggest and prettiest breasts from the actresses, photo models and female stars, and make the old man happy by serving him. He will definitely be able to reveal more information about the other world."

Some people had wild ideas, but many lawmakers actually nodded repeatedly, as if they thought the suggestion was quite reliable.

"Great, so great! You are simply a genius!"

"Congressman Morishita of our party is a well-known beauty in the political world. Let her be the governor of Tokyo. She will definitely be better than that idiot Ide!"

"Oh, it's that beautiful assassin from the girl group."

In the past decade or so, beauty pageants have become all the rage in Japan, especially in big cities like Tokyo, Yokohama, and Osaka.

Initially, the female candidate was introduced to attract female voters, but the response was unexpectedly enthusiastic, and even won over many male voters.

One of the reasons is that voters are tired of the same old men who keep being chosen. It doesn't matter who they choose, so they might as well vote for political newcomers. If the candidate is a good-looking, young and beautiful female candidate, she will get more votes.

Moreover, even if the female candidate cannot be elected, she can still divert votes from other parties.

As a result, various political parties have launched their own beautiful candidates to run for election in other parties' strongholds, stabbing them in the back.

Those female vase candidates are therefore called "beautiful assassins" by the media.

"Congressman Morishita is old and ugly, while our party's Congressman Takiguchi Riko is a professor at Ochanomizu University, an intellectual beauty!"

Since everyone is trying to get beautiful female assassins to participate in the election, the competition is naturally getting more and more intense. It is not enough to just be young and beautiful, adding other attributes will naturally make you more popular.

"That's enough. It's not decent to keep quarreling."

The Prime Minister frowned and scolded.

However, he was also planning in his mind to select the most outstanding-looking female civil servants in Tokyo in case of emergency.

It’s a pity that it’s too late now.

After a brief and urgent discussion in the National Diet Building, the second question was assigned to the Ginza Club.

"Inspector Uchiha, you are the one who will ask the questions."

Lord Jiraiya has a bad face towards men and is very disgusted with them. The only person he is nice to is Uchiha Senmon. It is most appropriate for him to represent the Japanese top leaders to ask questions.

Although it is just a detail, it must be perfect. After all, nothing is trivial when it comes to being extraordinary.

"Lord Jiraiya, may I ask why the Akatsuki organization is looking for the Nine-tailed Demon Fox in Japan?" Uchiha Senmon asked respectfully.

"Hey, that's a good question."

Jiraiya raised his head and said with a look of no surprise.

This question not only inquires about the purpose of Akatsuki, but also involves the origin of the Nine-Tails.

"The Nine-Tailed Fox has been a great disaster since ancient times. Even the gods are terrified of it, and countless countries have been destroyed by it. The Nine-Tailed Fox has the power to destroy the world, and no one would not want to obtain this power."

Uchiha Senmon frowned when he heard this.

If Jiraiya's answer was just a perfunctory one like this, then this question would be wasted.

"Of course, Akatsuki wants to get the Nine-Tails for more reasons than that. The Nine-Tails is likely to be the root cause of the destruction of the Age of Gods, so Akatsuki wants to get the Nine-Tails."

Jiraiya played with the wine glass in his hand and said something shocking.

Everyone in the box couldn't help but widen their eyes, their faces filled with disbelief.

The Age of Gods is an ancient time when gods strode across the earth and the gods were above the clouds. Just from the few words of Jiraiya-sama, one can imagine what a magnificent era that was!

The one who ended such a glorious Age of Gods was actually the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox? !

Uchiha Senmon's eyes flashed, and he became a little suspicious again.

Although the golden-haired, white-faced Tamamonomae is one of the three great monsters in Japan, it cannot be compared with the Yamata-no-Orochi in terms of fame and influence.

What’s more, the Age of Gods did not end only in Japan; the Age of Gods in other parts of the world ended earlier.

Can the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox really be powerful enough to end the Age of Gods of other civilizations?

"I have mentioned to you before that the demise of the Age of Gods originated from a 'seed' of destruction."

Everyone couldn't help but nod their heads.

Although the Japanese high-ranking officials are also curious about the demise of the Age of Gods, they don't know that this incident happened thousands of years ago and has nothing to do with the crisis Japan has encountered since the 19th year of the Heisei era. There is no need to dig into the details.

"An ancient monument passed down in Myoboku Mountain records that what led the Age of Gods to destruction was a 'seed' from outside the universe!"

Jiraiya held the wine glass, and his usually unrestrained expression was now filled with solemnity.

"It is said that the 'seed' took root and sprouted in the mountains, sucking up the magma and the ocean. The tree canopy was able to cover an entire continent and grow into a divine tree thousands of feet tall. The divine tree consumed the spiritual energy of the entire planet, which led to the decline of the Age of Gods."

Uchiha Senmon's pupils suddenly shrank to the limit.

As Jiraiya said before, the 'seeds' of destruction 'fell from the sky', 'took root and sprouted', and eventually led to the destruction of the Age of Gods.

Isn't it just a metaphor, but a true description...

"But some ancient books have contradictory records, saying that the 'seed' is actually a beast egg. It hatched a mythical beast with nine heads and forty-five tails, which devoured all the civilizations of the Age of Gods on the continent and then exploded and died."

Everyone was so shocked that they were speechless.

"Master Jiraiya, even an immortal like you doesn't..."

The Governor of Tokyo could not help but want to interrupt again, but was immediately glared at by the Superintendent of Police, and he finally woke up from his dream.

I almost wasted the last chance to ask a question.

"How old do you think I am this year?" Jiraiya asked in return.

The Superintendent General and Uchiha Senmon looked thoughtful.

According to the story of Jiraiya, Jiraiya's birthday must have been before the Edo period, but his exact age is still unknown.

In more ancient mythological texts such as "Kojiki" and "Nihonshoki", there is no mention of Jiraiya, so he should not be a person before the Heian period.

"Even if we are extraordinary beings, it is impossible for everyone to be immortal, otherwise the elixir of immortality would not be a treasure in the other world. This immortal is less than a thousand years old this year, so I am still very young."

Except for the Uchiha Senmon, all the senior bureaucrats present were over fifty years old with gray hair, so Jiraiya's words were simply Versailles.

"The 'seed' descended on the earth five thousand years ago during the Age of Gods. How could this immortal possibly know all the details? I can only glimpse a small part of the truth from the incomplete ancient books that have been passed down."

Everyone's imaginations ran wild and their minds were filled with different thoughts.

Five thousand years ago?

"This is longer than the history of civilization in East Asia. The ancient civilization next door is only four thousand years old." The Defense Minister couldn't help but mutter to himself.

In Japan, the history of civilization of the Middle-earth country is always described as four thousand years.

Compared with Western countries, it is still relatively polite. Western countries only recognize the Shang Dynasty, while Japanese civilization originated in the Middle-earth, so they recognize the Xia Dynasty established in 2070 BC, which means it has a civilization history of years.

After all, it is human nature that if one's ancestors were wealthy, it would be a source of pride for their descendants.
