I’m a Hokage in Tokyo

“When it comes to playing tricks, professionals are the best. They are much better than me who just started learning by accident.”

Uchiha Ming looked at the statue of Lord Taishan and nodded slightly.

“Ming, have you bowed?” After Matsudaira Chiyo finished praying, she looked at Uchiha Ming and asked.

Isn’t this just worshiping yourself?

Uchiha Ming curled the corners of his mouth and bowed perfunctorily to the statue of Taishan Lord.

When Uchiha Ming and Matsudaira Chiyo were about to leave the main hall to draw lots, they suddenly heard a cry of surprise from the people who were worshipping behind them:

“The statue of the Lord of Mount Tai has cracked!”

Uchiha Ming and Matsudaira Chiyo turned around at the same time and took a closer look, only to see a crack suddenly appeared on the face of the statue of Taishan Lord.

“The Lord of Mount Tai is angry. This is a very bad omen!”

Some devout believers’ faces changed drastically and they could not help but fall to the ground.

“Go and invite Master Kanhara to come!”

“Master Kanhara? Is he the most mysterious Master Kanhara among the Twelve Gods? Is he also in Sensō-ji Temple now?!”

Whether it was the pilgrims on the scene or the monks in the New Senso-ji Temple, everyone was in a panic, like ants on a hot pan, and everything was in chaos.

Uchiha Ming had a subtle look on his face.

He really didn’t do anything.

Who knew that the New Sensō-ji Temple was so soft to praise? Uchiha Ming just praised it a few words in his heart and immediately started to disappoint him.

Taking advantage of the chaos in the crowd, Uchiha Ming pulled Matsudaira Chiyo’s hand and ran out, and happened to run to a place around the main hall where divination could be done.

“Since we’re here, let’s try to draw a lot.” Uchiha Ming said.

Uchiha Ming shook the lottery ticket box and took out a stick with the number ‘Thirteen’ marked on it.

Following the number on the signature, he opened the drawer corresponding to the number.

Uchiha Ming thought he was pretty lucky.

When I took out the signature paper, it turned out to be a very bad omen!

Uchiha Ming’s face turned dark, and he felt a little embarrassed.

The fortune sticks at Japanese shrines and temples are usually divided into very lucky, good, half lucky, slightly lucky, not lucky, not slightly lucky, and unlucky. The vast majority of them are lucky, and there is not even any very unlucky fortune.

The New Sensoji Temple is really honest. It even has a very unlucky fortune. What a coincidence that Uchiha Ming drew it.

“It doesn’t matter. Just fold the paper and hang it on a nearby wooden rack, and the Lord of Mount Tai will turn it into good fortune.”

Matsudaira Chiyo said a few words of comfort, then frowned again and said:

“But today is indeed unlucky. After I return, I will donate some money anonymously to rebuild the golden body for the Lord of Mount Tai.”

“No need. This kind of thing works if you believe it, but it won’t work if you don’t believe it…”

Halfway through his words, Uchiha Ming’s cell phone suddenly rang. After picking it up and listening for a while, Uchiha Ming’s face looked a little strange.

“The last distant elder of the Uchiha clan passed away this morning. The immortal gate asked me to go back to my hometown in Shizuoka Prefecture to pay my respects first, and he will arrive shortly afterwards.”

After listening to what Uchiha Ming said, Matsudaira Chiyo’s face became more and more uneasy.

Uchiha Ming didn’t take the so-called omen of great misfortune seriously at all. Taishan Mansion Lord was just one of his aliases. Could he curse himself? It was just a coincidence.

However, Uchiha Ming could understand Matsudaira Chiyo’s uneasiness. After all, this was an era where there were gods everywhere.

“We should take this opportunity to fill the hole at Nanga Shrine.”

Uchiha Ming touched his chin and thought:

“Xianmen’s Sharingan has evolved to three magatama, which can unlock the Uchiha clan’s secret ninjutsu and the secrets on the stone tablet to him.”

Chapter 364 Chapter 365 Time Magazine

“Is this the village where you grew up, Naru-kun?”

A military green off-road vehicle was driving on a concrete road in the countryside. In the distance was the towering Arakawa-dake, and below the mountainside was a lush forest.

The rural area is vast and sparsely populated, with quite primitive wooden buildings and flat rice fields on both sides of the road, which is quite wild.

“I wasn’t born in the village. I just lived here for a few years in elementary school and returned to Tokyo before junior high school.”

Uchiha Ming, who was holding the steering wheel, chuckled and glanced at Miss Matsudaira who was curiously looking at the rural scenery in the passenger seat, finding it a little funny.

Chiyo Matsudaira rolled down the window and a fresh breeze rushed into the car.

It was June, the grass was lush, the birds were singing, the rice ears in the rice fields were green, and occasionally you could see buffaloes grazing on the ridges of the fields, wagging their tails leisurely.

“It looks beautiful.” Matsudaira Chiyo took a deep breath and smiled.

“Miss, you’re just trying something new. In a small village like this where there isn’t even a convenience store, you’ll be crying and screaming to go back to Tokyo in two days.”

Uchiha Ming joked, his eyes turning to Arakawa Gaku with a look of nostalgia.

“Apart from some small handicrafts and agriculture, the village has basically no industry or specialty products. The only thing worth mentioning is that you can see Mount Fuji by climbing up Mount Arakawa. But the transportation is not as convenient as in other villages, and the tourism industry has not developed.”

The Uchiha’s hometown belongs to Kawanemoto Town, Shizuoka Prefecture, a small village located at the foot of Mount Arakawa in the Oigawa area.

Mount Arakawa is the sixth highest peak in Japan and is 52 kilometers away from Mount Fuji.

The economy of Shizuoka Prefecture ranks among the top ten among Japan’s 47 administrative units. Thanks to the continuous mountains and river alluvial plains, the agriculture in Shizuoka Prefecture is quite developed, especially the tea production which ranks first in Japan.

However, the village’s geographical location is a bit awkward. Although you won’t starve to death by digging for food in the fields, you won’t get rich either.

“So are you staying in the old Uchiha house today? I want to see where you grew up.”

Chiyo Matsudaira’s eyes sparkled.

“Unfortunately, my old house has not been lived in for nearly ten years. It has not been cleaned and it is uninhabitable for a while.”

Matsudaira Chiyo was a little disappointed, and Uchiha Ming changed the subject:

“But Aunt Namiryu has already gone back to the village, and we are staying at her place. I have stayed at my grandmother’s house longer than in the old house, and it is no different from my own home.”

“Then you didn’t tell me earlier.”

Matsudaira Chiyo gave Uchiha Ming a reproachful look.

Following his original memory, Uchiha Ming drove towards the ancestral home of the Sakaki family. Although it was noon, he didn’t see many villagers on the road.

When the off-road vehicle passed a small hill, we saw a yard in traditional old Japanese style.

There was a woman dressed as an assistant at the gate of the yard, looking around eagerly.

After the SUV stopped at the gate of the yard and Uchiha Ming and Matsudaira Chiyo got out, the woman immediately turned around and walked towards the yard.

“Ms. Sakaki, little Uchiha-san is back!”

Not long after, surrounded by several female assistants, Sakaki Namiryu, wearing a black women’s suit, walked over in a heroic manner.

“Mingzi… uh, Ming is here so soon?!”

Different from the tomboyish physical education teacher before, Sakaki Namiryu now has a stern look, a smart and capable temperament, and a hint of a strong woman.

After all, Sakaki Namiryu is now the head of a foundation with a scale of tens of billions of yen. After a few years, she has gained a lot of experience.

The extraordinary people are the tickets to the new era, and their importance is self-evident. The annual salary and mission allowances of the official twelve generals alone are astronomical figures.

In addition to being superheroes, the Twelve Generals also have the attributes of superstars.

After the advent of the extraordinary era, countless ordinary people around the world are eagerly waiting to get any news about the extraordinary people.

The Twelve Generals are more capable of attracting more traffic than Olympic champions, Hollywood stars, and super internet celebrities.

In such a situation, the Twelve Gods can earn even more from their side jobs than from their main jobs by just shooting a commercial or performing for a few nights.

Uchiha Senmon, director of the Supernatural Police Department, has been named Person of the Year by Time magazine for three consecutive years and his popularity is unparalleled.

Uchiha Senmon has a huge number of fans all over the world.

In addition to the fact that Uchiha Senmon is a national hero promoted by the Japanese government, his strength is second to none among the Twelve Generals and he has a brilliant resume, it is also because this is a world where appearance matters.

The good looks of the Uchiha clan are obvious to all, and a large portion of Uchiha Senmen’s fan club are his fans because of their looks.

Not long after Uchiha Senmon stepped onto the historical stage, management companies had already knocked on his door with money waving. Hollywood even tailored a new series of superhero movie projects for Uchiha Senmon and cordially invited him to play himself.

You can pick up money just by lying down.

Naturally, Uchiha Senmen declined such public commercial activities.

But power and wealth will inevitably be concentrated in the hands of extraordinary people.

Uchiha Senmon is a frequent guest in various documentaries and supernatural programs, and the papers he wrote for the Fourth Investigation Section were decrypted and published as popular science books on the supernatural. The copyright and portrait fees alone exceeded 10 billion yen.

After much deliberation, Uchiha Xianmen decided to donate all the money.

Established the world’s first charitable foundation to aid victims of supernatural disasters.

However, Uchiha Senmon was too busy to manage the mundane affairs of the foundation. At this time, Sakaki Namiryu volunteered to share the worries of her brother-in-law.

As the sister-in-law of Uchiha Senmon, Sakaki Namiryu must be someone he can trust.

Uchiha Senmon handed the foundation over to Sakaki Namiya to run with some doubts, and when nothing went wrong for a while, he simply let it go and let her do it.

“A Ming, who is this girl?”

Sakaki Namiryu looked at Matsudaira Chiyo who was standing next to Uchiha Ming, feeling somewhat doubtful.

“Namiru-sister, this is my girlfriend, Chiyo Matsudaira.”

Uchiha Ming started calling her “sister” instead of “auntie” in front of Sakaki Namiryu.

Matsudaira Chiyo took the initiative to step forward, bowed 90 degrees, and greeted politely:

“Hello, I am Ming’s girlfriend. I came to visit you unannounced today. I am very sorry to bother you.”

“Ms. Matsudaira, welcome!”

Sakaki Namiru immediately returned the greeting.

Then she couldn’t help but glare at Uchiha Ming fiercely, blaming him for not notifying her in advance and giving her such a big surprise.

Uchiha Ming shrugged disapprovingly.

“Ms. Matsudaira, have we met somewhere before? I feel like we’ve met before.”

Sakaki Namiryu narrowed her eyes, looked carefully at Matsudaira Chiyo’s beautiful face, and couldn’t help asking.

“I have the same feeling. As soon as I saw you, I felt so close to you, just like a family member. Can I call you Sister Namiryu like Ming does?” Matsudaira Chiyo said with a smile.

“Of course, come on, come in. Brat, carry your own luggage in!”

Sakaki Namiryu warmly held Matsudaira Chiyo’s hand and pulled her inside, ignoring Uchiha Ming.

My sister and brother-in-law are not around, so as the elder, I must keep a close eye on things.

Yes!

Matsudaira Chiyo turned her head and secretly made a scissors hand gesture to Uchiha Ming.

Uchiha Ming was helpless and could only take out two suitcases from the trunk of the SUV and drag them into the yard.

Uchiha Ming walked into the living room of the Sakaki family’s ancestral home, looked around, and felt as if he was revisiting an old place.

The living room is spacious enough, even brighter than Uchiha Ming’s current apartment. After all, land in the countryside is not valuable.

There is a retro-style fire pit in the middle of the living room, and an iron pot is hanging above the beam.

“No one has lived in my house for two or three years. I just cleaned it up yesterday. Please don’t be disgusted, Chiyo.”

“How could that be, Sister Namiryu? This is where Ming grew up. Coming here feels like coming home.”

In just a short while, Matsudaira Chiyo made Aunt Namiryu very happy, and Aunt Namiryu even called her by her name.

Before Matsudaira Chiyo revealed her true nature as a playboy, her appearance as a well-educated and well-mannered rich girl was still very deceptive.

Sakaki Namiryu looked at the bright eyes and white teeth of Matsudaira Chiyo and her elegant and graceful conversation, and she became more and more satisfied.

After a brief conversation (bottom of the plate), I learned that Matsudaira Chiyo is a college student at Ochanomizu University, and her family background is obviously very wealthy.

As a wild girl who grew up in the countryside, Sakaki Namiryu still likes this kind of young lady’s behavior.

“Chiyo, how could a girl like you, who is so good, fall in love with my Ming? He has nothing to recommend him except that he looks like his father.”

“Sister Namiryu, what are you saying? Ming is multi-talented, gentle and considerate. Besides being a top student at the University of Tokyo, he is also the national high school champion in archery. It’s me who is not worthy of him.” Matsudaira Chiyo said softly.
