I'm a Hokage in Tokyo

Or is he not among the three people present?

"The emergence of the Han River Monster means that other countries and regions are also beginning to become unstable."

When the dinner was coming to an end, someone from the Ministry of Public Security came with the urgent information that a monster had appeared on the peninsula across the sea, which immediately made the bigwigs of Huzhongan ecstatic.

For these superiors, it is certainly not because of any nationalist sentiment or such cheap reasons as being happy to see their arch-enemy country suffer misfortune.

It was because this was the first time a monster appeared in a country outside of Japan, which was of great significance and closely related to their interests.

"Jiraiya-sama said that the mysterious revival would spread to other areas. He was indeed prescient."

The Deputy Prime Minister took a sip of sake and said with a smile:

"Other countries will also see supernatural phenomena such as monsters and evil spirits, but they don't have Japan's rich experience in dealing with crises over the years..."

"And the extraordinary ones! And the blessing of the Lord of Mount Tai!"

The Finance Minister, with a flushed face, could not wait to say:

"Other countries will be busy running around, and international capital will be anxious. However, our country, which has a team of extraordinary people and the favor of the Lord of Mount Tai, is a unique safe haven."

After the Sapporo Super Battle and the Mount Fuji Eruption, the Nikkei Index plummeted, even more tragic than being cut in half. The Minister of Finance suffered several myocardial infarctions and was almost sent to the hospital.

However, as the press conference was held during the day, the sluggish Japanese stock market suddenly rose sharply.

Capital has the most sensitive sense of smell.

It is conceivable that as the news of the Han River Host spreads further, the stock market will further recover.

The finance minister has even started daydreaming.

If monsters and evil spirits are everywhere in the world, and Japan is the only one that is thriving, then with this favorable wind, the Japanese economy may be able to get rid of the depression that has lasted for thirty years, no, more than thirty years.

"Thanks to you guys leaking the news before the press conference, I was able to make a small profit. I'll treat you to dinner tonight."

A chaebol leader raised his glass and thanked the deputy prime minister and the finance minister.

"You still call this a small profit? You're the most ruthless among us." Another old man jokingly said, "Tonight's banquet costs less than 10 million yen. That's too stingy."

"I didn't know how much I lost during the previous big dive, but this time I only got back a little bit of the money."

The chaebol boss who had spoken earlier shouted, feeling aggrieved.

"Well, in short, the most difficult period has passed, and the next step is to clear up the sky after the rain."

The Superintendent glanced at the silent Uchiha Senmon, coughed and said:

"The economic recovery is a great blessing for all of Japan and its 100 million citizens."

"By holding the Taishan Fujun Festival, we can showcase our achievements to the rest of the world and greatly enhance our country's international status. We can even use our first-mover advantage to become an international leader in dealing with supernatural issues."

The Deputy Prime Minister picked up a piece of tuna belly with his chopsticks, dipped it in wasabi, put it in his mouth, chewed it for a few times, and then spoke again:

"Japan is leading the trend of the new era and is at the forefront, and we have all successfully boarded the ship of the new era."

“I’m the happiest today!”

Unable to contain his joy, the Deputy Prime Minister put down his chopsticks, stood up, and drunkenly raised his glass high.

"This cup is for the Lord of Mount Tai!"

Everyone raised their glasses as well.

"Congratulations to Lord Taishan Mansion!"

Uchiha Senmon is a teetotaler. To do such a dangerous job, he must keep a cool head and must not be paralyzed by alcohol.

But as the protagonist of tonight's banquet, he was frequently urged to drink by others.

The support of the Deputy Prime Minister and others is crucial to Uchiha Senmen's next plan. He has no choice but to go along with the situation and has never tasted the flavor of the food. Even the sake that costs hundreds of thousands of dollars a bottle cannot taste sweet.

However, this glass of wine was to thank the Lord of Mount Tai, so the Uchiha Immortal Sect did add some sincerity.

As the cold wine flowed down his throat, Uchiha Senmon's eyes turned cold.

The spokesperson of the Prime Minister's Office boasted about Japan to the skies, openly and covertly claiming that it had connections with many Kage-level powerful men, and even the Lord of Mount Tai looked at Japan differently.

But as a transcendent who had witnessed the incident firsthand, how could Uchiha Senmen not know the inside story?

This is purely wishful thinking on the part of Japan's top leaders.

It would be fine if they were just using the power of Mount Tai to bully others, harvest international capital, and boast about Japan's national strength, but watching these people talk at night, it felt like it had become an established fact.

Regardless of whether the common people or the international community believes it or not, we believe it anyway.

What is this?

Deceiving yourself?

Moreover, the Toad Immortal clearly said that the Jedi Sky Link can only intercept Kage-level strongmen from going down to the mortal world, and it cannot solve all problems once and for all.

The appearance of the Han River Monster was a sign of a worsening situation.

Even during the three years of the Great Wall, Japan still had to face the most severe challenges, but now they are applauding their own trifles and the fire that has spread to their neighboring countries.

Really short-sighted.

How can we deal with the coming crisis if we get involved with this bunch of insects? !

Although the Uchiha Immortal Sect looked down upon these useless people who were just occupying their positions and doing nothing, they did not show it on their faces.

"Uchiha, I also graduated from the University of Tokyo. We are close brothers."

The half-drunk Deputy Prime Minister picked up a bottle of sake, reached across the table, and poured wine into Uchiha Senmon's glass.

"I am a few years older than you, so I am arrogant and call you brother."

The deputy prime minister, who was twenty years older than Uchiha Senmon, shamelessly addressed him as his brother.

"You're too kind."

Uchiha Xianmen picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp without being surprised by the fame or disgrace.

Seeing that Uchiha Senmon was so knowledgeable and understanding, the Deputy Prime Minister nodded with satisfaction and said to the Superintendent of Police who was sitting on the right side of Uchiha Senmon:

"The Director really doesn't know talent. A young talent like Brother Uchiha is only a mere superintendent."

The Superintendent snorted in his heart.

If it weren't for the previous incident with Section Chief Akagi, it would have been a foregone conclusion that Uchiha would be promoted to the position of Section Chief of Section 4.

How many superintendents under the age of 40 are there in the entire Metropolitan Police Department?

Even if they are graduates of the University of Tokyo and come from a civilian background, they can basically only hold the rank of Superintendent of Police before retirement.

There is only one position for each person above you. There are not enough positions for people without background.

Among the old-fashioned and conservative leadership of the Metropolitan Police Department, I am considered quite open-minded.

Therefore, the Superintendent of Police declined to comment on the Deputy Prime Minister’s drunken remarks.

"He is no longer the superintendent, but should be called the minister, Uchiha Minister!"

"Yeah!"

The Deputy Prime Minister was delighted and raised his glass again.

"Hahahaha, this time, let's drink this cup to Minister Uchiha!"

"For Uchiha Minister!"

This time, the wine that Uchiha Senmon drank was not tasteless like before, but instead had a disgusting astringent taste.

"Minister Uchiha, I wonder where your home is now?"

The old man sitting on the other side of the Uchiha Immortal Gate asked in a friendly manner.

Uchiha Senmon frowned slightly, but still replied to him.

"Yayoi-cho, Nakano District. It's too far from the Metropolitan Police Department headquarters. It will affect Chief Uchiha's work."

The old man hammered his palm, looking as if he was thinking from the perspective of the Uchiha Senmon.

"I have a penthouse in Roppongi, Minato. It's not big, only 500 square meters. How about giving it to Minister Uchiha to stay?"

In Roppongi, where every inch of land is valuable, a penthouse apartment would cost at least 300 to 500 million yen, but judging from the old man's nonchalant tone, it was as if he was just giving away a common fruit basket.

"This is too expensive, I can't accept it."

Uchiha Senmon declined without even thinking.

"And I don't need it."

The old man was stunned, his eyes changed a little, and he wanted to say something else.

At this moment, the Superintendent of Police stepped in to smooth things over:

"Uchiha work very hard and it is not uncommon for them to live in the Metropolitan Police Department's staff apartment for several months to work overtime."

"I see. With a pillar like Uchiha Minister in the important position of the Supernatural Countermeasures Department Director, the likes of us can rest easy."

The old man said this with a happy look on his face, but he disagreed in his heart.

Come to think of it, a peasant had some kind of luck to become a transcendent being, and then suddenly rose to a high position. At the beginning, he must have been nervous and cautious, thinking that the things sent to him were too hot to handle.

But after a long time, after seeing the real colorful world, how can one still keep oneself clean?

I was too hasty.

Be gradual and boil the frog in warm water.

However, once the news about the Supernatural Countermeasures Department is announced, it is foreseeable that this kid will soon become the hottest star in Japan, so it is better to tie him to the chariot as soon as possible.

Only a shrewd veteran like me can grasp the right balance between these two.

After three rounds of drinking, it was already past two o'clock.

Because the decision about Uchiha Senmon serving as minister had already been finalized before, the news of the Han River Host was just a small matter.

After discussing the important matters, and at this point, this group of old men in their sixties and seventies could no longer hold on.

"Because the crisis has just passed, it is not appropriate to celebrate in a big way. After the Taishan Mansion Festival, we will hold a grand promotion dinner for Minister Uchiha."

One by one, the bigwigs walked out of Huzhongan and left in their respective luxury cars.

"Uchiha, you're going back to the Metropolitan Police Department as well, right? Or do you want to take my car?"

"Then I'll trouble you, Director."

Uchiha Senmon and the Superintendent of Police sat in the back seat of the car, each with different thoughts, silent and silent.

Speechless all the way.

When they arrived at the Metropolitan Police Department headquarters, Uchiha Senmon was the first to open the door and get out of the car, while the Superintendent of Police sat in the car motionless.

"Director?"

"I have to go somewhere else, you go back first."

Having said that, the black car did not drive away directly. The window was rolled down, revealing the serious face of the Superintendent of Police.

The Superintendent looked at Uchiha Senmon, who looked normal, with a complicated expression on his face. He hesitated for a moment before slowly saying:

"What you see tonight may make you uncomfortable."

"Director, I'm not a fresh-faced college student. I've been working at the Metropolitan Police Department for more than ten years."

Uchiha Senmon looked calm, showing no sign of dissatisfaction at all.

"I am already grateful enough for their support in my role as the head of the Paranormal Countermeasures Department."

"It's great that you think so."

It was hard to say whether the Superintendent believed or not what Uchiha Senmon said. He said meaningfully:

"But at least, we locals are better than the other bunch. After all, the meat still needs to be rotten in the pot."

After watching the Superintendent of Police drive away in a black sedan, Uchiha Senmon withdrew his gaze and returned to his residence in the staff apartment alone.

There was still a smell of alcohol on him, so Uchiha Senmon took off his glasses, walked into the bathroom and turned on the shower.

"Crash."

These powerful people have ulterior motives, so don't I have ulterior motives as well?

Which person in the cabinet is it?

Uchiha Senmon stood in front of the mirror, his wet black bangs pushed back, and double magatama suddenly appeared in his eyes.
