I'm a Hokage in Tokyo

The cigar butt in the captain's mouth flickered in the mist as he spoke in a teasing tone.

In the thick fog, a huge shadow suddenly appeared in front of the warship.

"Although there is no official name yet, we all prefer to call it 'Ghost Island'!"

Professor Changshan took a closer look and couldn't help holding his breath.

This rugged and wild ghost island is circular in shape, with a main peak about three to four hundred meters high. Densely packed with sword-like spikes piercing the sky, it looks like a hedgehog armor.

It is very different from Penglai Island, which is like a paradise on earth.

"Well, although it's not Penglai Island, it looks extraordinary and does not look like the island scenery on Earth."

After a while, Professor Changshan retracted his gaze, pushed up his glasses and said:

"But you tricked me... Why did you invite me here?"

"Professor Changshan, we have discovered some relics from the extraordinary era on this elusive island, and they may be related to the demise of the Age of Gods."

The naval captain's expression was calm, but he revealed a shocking secret that made Professor Changshan open his mouth wide.

"The clues in these ruins are closely related to Japanese mythology. Every profession has its own expertise, so we invited an authority on Japanese mythology and folklore like you to come here."

“That’s really too much praise.”

I didn’t expect that I have become so famous, Professor Changshan thought happily.

"Because this matter is of great importance, I have no choice but to ask you to stay on the island for a while."

The naval captain said earnestly:

"Please rest assured, Professor Changshan, we are sincere and will give you extra compensation after the interpretation work is completed."

Things have come to this point, even if Professor Changshan refused, the US side would not send him back like that.

Then it means you are shameless and don't want to accept the toast.

Although Professor Changshan is vain, greedy for money and lustful, he also has the curiosity and thirst for knowledge of a scholar. If he says he is not interested in the secrets of the demise of the Age of Gods, he would be lying.

Somewhere along the coast of Onigashima, a dock has been built, and construction workers are continuing to build a forward base in an orderly manner. Military personnel armed to the teeth are patrolling everywhere.

After stepping onto the Ghost Island, Professor Changshan was shocked to find that the island was terribly desolate. There was no green or vitality at all. Only jagged peaks like a bone forest stood tall, which was chilling.

It is simply a barren land, no wonder it is called Ghost Island.

"Um...are you the only ones coming together?"

Looking at the small escort team of Marines, Professor Changshan swallowed and felt very insecure.

After all, this island is related to the Age of Gods. The American's fire stick is only effective against ordinary beasts. If some monster suddenly pops out, a promising scholar like him will be eaten by the monster along with a group of crude soldiers.

You should ask Director Uchiha to come and protect you.

"We have already surveyed it. The widest part of Onigashima is about five kilometers, and the area is 15 square kilometers."

The navy captain blew out a beautiful smoke ring and said lightly:

"As you can see, Professor Changshan, there is no vegetation or living creatures on Ghost Island. There is nothing but rocks. It is very safe."

Having said that, the tension on Professor Changshan's face did not improve at all, but instead became even more uneasy.

There is nothing here, which makes it even more weird.

It is impossible to go back home, so I can only accept my fate and move forward.

"Mr. Joseph!"

When passing by a site that was being excavated, Professor Changshan suddenly called out the name of a colleague with surprise and joy.

Great, I’m not the only expert who’s been deceived!

Professor Changshan recognized several experts one after another, including some foreign national treasure-level archaeological experts and historians.

Professor Changshan finally felt relieved. With so many people around, the Americans wouldn't kill people to silence them.

"First, let's take the first one. There are some very surprising discoveries in the ruins of this temple, which may be related to Japanese mythology."

The naval colonel gathered all the experts who came from afar, and his eyes glanced towards Professor Changshan intentionally or unintentionally.

"The President and the Pentagon are looking forward to the performance of the experts and professors."

The naval captain led the scholars to a half-collapsed temple, which was heavily guarded outside. It was obvious that the contents inside were extraordinary.

Everyone became excited all of a sudden. After all, this was an extremely rare site of a transcendental civilization.

If we can come up with something from the research, it will be enough to shock the historical and archaeological circles.

After entering the temple, Professor Changshan and several other familiar experts gathered together to comment and marvel at the ruins whose style was different from that of the Earth's civilization circle.

"We preliminarily determined that the god in this mural is the god worshipped in this temple."

The navy captain led the way to the deepest part of the temple, looked up at the huge weathered murals, narrowed his eyes, and said word by word:

"Although his identity has been roughly confirmed, there are still some parts that are not explained. I would like to invite experts to express their opinions. Especially Professor Changshan."

Professor Changshan couldn't help but frown when he heard this.

Then he raised his head, following the gaze of the other experts.

"Hmm? Which civilization's pantheon does the horned immortal belong to?"

"I've never seen this type of clothing before, but the magatama on it is a typical cultural symbol originating from East Asia."

In the mural, there is a carving of an immortal or god with two horns on his head, wearing a white coat and with six black magatama-shaped patterns on his chest.

He stood above the clouds, with nine black spheres surrounding him in a ring.

"The god holds a gourd in his right hand and a huge black sword in his left hand... It's too long to call it a sword, and it's too weird to call it a spear. Is it a sword or a spear?"

"Wait, is the black weapon in his hand a DNA helix structure?!"

The immortal in the mural is holding a spiral black spear that is longer than himself, pulling it out of the surging sea. The water drops hanging from the tip of the spear are turning into rolling islands.

The familiar scene immediately cheered up Professor Changshan.

"Amanuma Spear?!"

In the Japanese creation myth, Izanagi thrust the Amanuma Spear into the sea and stirred the water, then lifted the Amanuma Spear up, and the seawater dripping from the tip of the spear condensed into the first island, Uenokiro Island.

"The great god on the mural is Izanagi-son?"

Professor Changshan was horrified and quickly adjusted his glasses on his nose and took a closer look.

The immortal's face was blurry and unclear, but his eyes were decorated with three black magatama like the finishing touch, and the power and aura of the god immediately rushed towards him.

Professor Changshan suddenly felt dry mouth, dizziness, and was distracted.

"Sharingan!"

Chapter 447 Chapter 448 Nine Tailed Beasts

"Is this god Izanagi, the one who created the world in the Japanese founding myth?"

"The Amano Spear of DNA's double helix structure is too incredible. This was a Nobel Prize-winning discovery in the 1950s and 1960s. Does that mean theology had already reached the top a thousand years ago?"

"The three magatama in his eyes are the mystical eyes possessed by the members of the extraordinary terrorist organization Akatsuki! What is going on?"

Although the immortal with two horns on his head in the mural has a peculiar shape, the obvious action of him holding a spear and creating the island still reminded the experts and scholars present of the Japanese creation myth.

"These are all top-secret files, but the situation is dire and it is no longer the time to keep them secret. Please do not pass them on after reading them."

The naval colonel took out an iPad, unlocked it with his fingerprint, and retrieved the documents and videos inside, which he circulated to Professor Changshan and other scholars.

The Sharingan and the Mangekyō Sharingan are extremely taboo for immortals, Buddhas, and Kage-level masters...

The divine power named after the god of destruction 'Susanoo', the black fire that burns the heaven and earth 'Amaterasu' named after the sun god...

The abandoned child of the Izanagi couple, the Leech God, cursed the Sharingan family who inherited the Izanagi bloodline with hatred, and was later sealed by Itachi with the Tenken Sword...

All the scholars and professors were shocked, and then became inexplicably excited. They whispered to each other and talked about it.

"Is the truth actually like this? Unbelievable!"

"The immortal in the mural is also holding a gourd in his hand, which is exactly the same as the Ten-fisted Sword in the battle of Kobe."

In Japanese mythology, the first person to hold the Ten-Tails Sword was Izanagi, the father of the gods. He used the sword to behead Kagutsuchi-no-Mikoto, who had burned and killed Izanami. Finally, the Ten-Tails Sword was passed down to Susanoo-no-Mikoto, who used it to kill the fierce Yamata-no-Orochi.

Professor Changshan's face turned blue and red, and he tried to take off his glasses with trembling hands, but failed after several attempts.

So that's it? So that's it!

The clues left by all the previous extraordinary events are gradually becoming clear, and the puzzle in Professor Changshan's mind is being pieced together.

"No wonder the Sharingan has such powerful power, it turns out to be the descendant of Izanagi-sama!"

There are many secrets among the confidential information disclosed by the US side, which even Professor Changshan, a former consultant scholar of the Supernatural Police Department, has never heard of. It must be that the Japanese top leaders kept it secret for political considerations.

As the descendants of Izanagi, the power of the Sharingan is obvious to all. In contrast, the few people sitting in the Imperial Palace do not show any supernatural powers at all and are just ordinary people.

One can't help but be suspicious of the royal bloodline.

In the so-called eternal bloodline in the world, the Confucius family in China has been replaced several times through human molecular identification. The conspiracy theory that the emperor's bloodline was replaced during the Northern and Southern Dynasties has been popular in Japan.

Professor Changshan glanced at the naval captain obliquely.

This is a topic that cannot be touched in Japanese politics, and only the United States can decrypt the information for them without any concern.

Navy Captain, let's call him that for now.

His official identities include but are not limited to CIA agent, federal government bureaucrat, etc., and he can switch at any time as needed.

As a major country that has held world hegemony for decades, it is natural that it has a sense of crisis and is prepared for danger in times of peace.

Over the past three years, the United States has accumulated some capital by fleecing Japan, but its foundation on the mysterious side is still too weak.

If other ancient small countries could find some extraordinary heritage from somewhere, they might be able to make a comeback and soar to the sky. However, the embarrassing thing about the United States is not only its short history, but also that if an Indian extraordinary person is discovered on its territory, it would probably turn around and attack the White House on the spot.

More importantly, although the crisis caused by the Abe Haruaki counterfeit has been resolved smoothly, the doomsday news that he mentioned, which did not sound like a joke, is a sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of all those who know about it.

After discovering that the ruins on Onigashima were related to the Age of Gods, the relevant US departments began to conduct intensive investigations.

Without telling the ally Japan, they tricked a group of top archaeologists and folk experts into coming together to pool their wisdom and solve the mystery of the Age of the Gods.

"The temple that seems to be dedicated to Izanagi is only a part of the ruins on the island. There are more magical places. Please follow me to move to another place."

Professor Changshan and other scholars followed the naval colonel out of the temple and came to the foot of a waterfall on the main peak. The waterfall cascading down had formed a pool of water.

"Everyone, put on your raincoats and rain boots."

Although he didn't understand why, Professor Changshan still put on a waterproof coat and followed the naval captain through the pool, taking one step deep and one step shallow.

Behind the waterfall is a water curtain cave, which contains a different world.

Three or five well-arranged temples and magnificent stone corridors appeared before everyone's eyes. Two rows of broken stone statues were covered with cracks and moss. They had endured the baptism of time over a long period of time and exuded an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.

“It’s unbelievable that there are such spectacular ruins inside!”

“The greatest archaeological discovery of the 21st century! It is of great value and significance!”

All the scholars couldn't help but open their eyes wide and were delighted.

"Why do these Buddha statues have no heads? This is a serious crime against history!" an expert said with deep sorrow.

"Dr. Joseph, this was the case when we discovered this site."

The naval captain said with a pleasant face:

"When the geologists were exploring the Ghost Island, they discovered a huge void in the belly of the main peak, and then they found the secret passage under the waterfall."

Professor Changshan looked at the headless Buddha statues on both sides of the corridor.

Although the heads of the Buddha statues are missing, the rosary beads around their necks and their robes are all in typical Buddhist style.

Especially for the headless Buddha statues, the index finger and middle finger of the left hand are stretched out, and the thumb is used to press the little finger and ring finger to form a scabbard. The right hand is also made into a sword shape, and then the sword in the right hand is placed in the scabbard in the left hand.

"The Esoteric Buddhism's Acala Seal!"

Professor Changshan is not just a name for nothing. He has a wide range of knowledge and was able to quickly identify the answer:

“Is this some kind of place for spiritual practice?”

In the center of the cave ruins is a towering temple with no doors or windows, only a relief of an animal head that looks like a tiger but is not a tiger.

"We haven't found a way to get into the temple, and we haven't resorted to violence yet."

He is really unsociable. He wants to destroy such a precious and extraordinary ancient civilization site with bombs. He is indeed a Saxon barbarian who came from a bandit family.
