I’m a Hokage in Tokyo
Page 290
The governor of Shizuoka Prefecture and the police minister stood in the corner of the yard more than ten meters away, and several secretaries and bodyguards stood outside, separating them from the crowd.
Even though there were many people in the yard and the governor of Shizuoka Prefecture was trying to cover it up, it was impossible to hide it from Uchiha Ming’s eyes and ears.
Even without using ninjutsu, his physical perception alone has been elevated to an unimaginable level, even the legendary mind’s eye is no more than this.
“Minister Uchiha’s son is so rude. He doesn’t even know how to respect you, the governor.” The police minister said dissatisfiedly.
“It’s only natural for a young man to be successful,” said the governor of Shizuoka Prefecture disapprovingly.
“Even the Uchiha Minister, who is the head of the Supernatural Police Department, has never put on such a big airs as his son.”
The Shizuoka Prefecture Police Chief looked towards Uchiha Ming and said in a distorted voice, “Looking at his seemingly polite but actually arrogant and cold face, someone who didn’t know him would think he was the number one extraordinary person on Earth!”
Uchiha Ming sneered and couldn’t help but reach out and touch his face.
Am I being that obvious?
Those who can climb to high positions in the Japanese officialdom are all cunning and experienced people with outstanding ability to read people’s expressions.
However, the flattery of these powerful people was unnecessary socializing for Uchiha Ming. He didn’t even want to pretend; his true nature just showed.
Outsiders may mistakenly believe that Uchiha Ming’s confidence comes from the Uchiha sect, which is a supernatural being, but supernatural power comes from oneself, and no one knows better than Uchiha Ming what level of power he has reached.
Even the President of the United States and the Prime Minister of Japan, Uchiha Ming, did not take them seriously at all.
He is just a county governor and a bunch of rich people from Shizuoka Prefecture. Is there any need to show him any respect?
“The girl next to that boy is very pretty and has an outstanding temperament. Compared with nouveau riche like Uchiha, it is obvious that she is a lady from a noble family. From what you said before, do you know each other?”
“It’s the Echizen Matsudaira family of the Fukui Domain.”
The governor of Shizuoka Prefecture nodded and said, “I am also from the Chinese ethnic group. I met him once at the Kasumi Hall.”
After the Meiji Restoration, the old aristocratic system of the court nobles and samurai was abolished, and the Meiji government established a new aristocratic class of the nobility based on the Western system of dukes, marquises, earls, vicars, and barons.
After the defeat, the Chinese system ceased to exist, and all Chinese members had their identities revoked and became civilians.
After the abolition of the kazoku system, the kazoku hall, as a social venue for the Japanese upper class, did not disappear, but was transformed into a general corporate entity and renamed “Kasumi Kaikan”, continuing to exist as a social club for the old kazoku.
To this day, only the descendants of the old aristocrats and related people can enter the Kasumi Hall. No matter how rich and powerful the emerging capitalists are, they will not be absorbed in. Therefore, the Kasumi Hall is also called the ‘modern Rokumeikan’.
“A nouveau riche from such a small village can actually get close to a prominent family like the Matsudaira family. This is too unbelievable…” The police chief widened his eyes, his face full of envy and jealousy.
“You, although you are younger than me, your thoughts are more conservative than mine. It’s still unclear who is clinging to whom.”
The governor of Shizuoka Prefecture shook his head, looking disappointed and said:
“Although the Matsudaira family has a glorious ancestor and is a relative of the feudal lord, times have changed. Although they have some assets, their wealth may not be comparable to that of the several Shizuoka Prefecture Taikaisha here. They are not the core of the powerful circle in Tokyo, but only second- or third-rate characters.”
With his power as the governor of Shizuoka Prefecture and his background as a member of the same nobility, he is qualified to make decisions on state affairs.
As if remembering something, the governor of Shizuoka Prefecture couldn’t help laughing:
“It’s better than the Tokugawa family.”
The current 19th head of the Tokugawa Shogunate, Tokugawa Iehiro, not only does translation work, but also makes political and economic commentaries in various news, magazines, and media, and holds book signings and lectures from time to time.
Although he is a respectable person, he is not a well-known big shot.
A phoenix that has lost its feathers is no better than a chicken. Of the old daimyo lords before the Meiji Restoration, only a few were able to maintain their power and wealth after the war. Some even fell to the point of riding on the popularity of their ancestors and appearing on variety shows to make a living.
“Times are different now. Compared with the power of the extraordinary, worldly family background and wealth are as light as a feather.”
The governor of Shizuoka Prefecture spoke to the police chief earnestly, in the tone of a veteran and elder:
“You have to keep pace with the times. Otherwise, how can you make further progress in the new era?”
Having said that, the governor of Shizuoka Prefecture was secretly shocked. The Matsudaira family acted too quickly and ingeniously by starting with Minister Uchiha’s son.
For middle-aged people, the three greatest joys are promotion, wealth and the death of his wife.
Minister Uchiha can be described as “a man in high spirits when good things happen to him”. He has all three qualities, and for the Japanese elite, he is simply the most suitable marriage partner.
In the first year after being promoted to the Minister of the Supernatural Department, the political and business dignitaries who came to propose marriage almost broke into the Uchiha family’s doorstep.
However, Minister Uchiha was resolute and refused to be won over by various forces, and had no intention of remarrying.
Seeing this, the others had no choice but to give up, and some even praised Minister Uchiha for his deep affection for his old sword.
“Yes, you are right.”
The police chief nodded his head, hesitated for a moment, leaned over to the governor of Shizuoka Prefecture, and whispered:
“But Governor-sama, given your status and position, why would you condescend to attend the all-night ceremony of a distant elder, Minister Uchiha?”
“You may not know this given your position. Now Tokyo has spread the word that they are going to upgrade the Supernatural Police Department from department level to bureau level.”
“What?! The Paranormal Hall!”
The police chief was speechless and exclaimed, then he covered his mouth and lowered his voice:
“But now the supernatural phenomena have calmed down a lot. Even the Eagle Organization has restrained its sphere of influence and rarely stirs up trouble in mainland Japan. Why do we need to raise the status of the Supernatural Police Department at this time? Aren’t you afraid that it will become too powerful to be eliminated?”
“The three-year agreement with Jedi Tiantong is about to expire.” The governor of Shizuoka Prefecture said word by word.
Upon hearing this, the police minister immediately shut his mouth, his face changing from gloomy to happy.
Although the current situation is relatively calm, there is no guarantee that this is not the calm before the storm.
No one knows what the future will be like. At this time, being able to establish a close relationship with Minister Uchiha, who is already the most extraordinary person on earth, may be an opportunity for the individual and the family to overcome the crisis in the future.
“It’s already 9pm, an hour later than the scheduled time. The all-nighter can’t be delayed any longer.”
Sakaki Namiya walked up to Uchiha Ming and whispered:
“Brother-in-law, hasn’t he come yet?”
Uchiha Ming shook his head and looked towards the center of the mourning hall.
The monk who was called to chant the sutras didn’t look very happy. Even monks wouldn’t like to work overtime.
But looking at the room full of distinguished celebrities, and the big shots who made the Shizuoka Prefecture tremble with the stomping of their feet, the monk could only hold back his resentment in his heart and dared not utter a single word of complaint.
“The Immortal Sect already said that he might not be able to make it, so let’s not delay any longer and start now.” Uchiha Ming said.
“Isn’t it a bit inhumane? After all, so many people came here just for my brother-in-law…”
Looking around, all the dignitaries, wealthy and famous people in Shizuoka Prefecture were looking forward to the arrival of Minister Uchiha.
Even after waiting for several hours, I had no complaints.
“Haha, it’s not like we invited them here.” Uchiha Ming sneered and said disdainfully.
In his eyes, these wealthy and powerful people in Shizuoka Prefecture are no different from passers-by.
“Whoop whoosh!”
Suddenly, the sound of propellers appeared in the sky.
In the darkness of the night, a black helicopter was speeding towards here.
Chapter 367 Chapter 368 Return to the Moon
Manhattan National Park, New York.
Since its inception, Manhattan National Park has been the venue for gatherings and events of all sizes.
Today’s rally is extraordinary. Strong Secret Service agents in black suits are scattered everywhere, and the perimeter of the park is cordoned off by a large number of police forces.
“We live in a great era of rapid change, and we are all fortunate to be witnesses of history and myths!”
On the rostrum, the president with his signature blond hair like corn ears spoke eloquently to a group of leaders and reporters from all over the world.
Although he is nearly 80 years old, the commander-in-chief does not show the decline of old age, but is full of passion and energy.
This is in stark contrast to the previous commander-in-chief who was like rotten wood.
Although he was accused of various false charges in 1150 million pages of documents, he returned like lightning and regained the throne of the Supreme Leader.
“Six hundred years ago, our ancestors who pursued freedom opened the Age of Exploration, laying the foundation for our dominance of the world today; sixty years ago, our brave and fearless astronauts left their footprints on the moon, achieving a major breakthrough in human civilization.”
The commander-in-chief pointed a finger at the sky, made his classic move, and his golden hair stood up exaggeratedly, and said:
“The exploration of the extraordinary world is as significant as the development of the New World during the Age of Discovery and the advancement of space in the last century! Now, it is our turn to inherit the glory of our ancestors and continue to lead the direction of human civilization in the extraordinary era!”
Although there were many leaders in the audience who secretly disdained the current president, they had to admit that the president’s speech was quite infectious and touched their hearts.
After the third scarlet moon, monsters were no longer exclusive to Japan and gradually spread to the world.
2025 is the fourth year since the beginning of the Extraordinary Era. At a time when the Akatsuki organization has not descended on Earth and gods and Buddhas cannot set foot on the mortal world, mere monsters and the like are nothing more than a minor nuisance to the modern state apparatus.
Under the brutal siege and hunt by various countries, monsters would be killed or captured as soon as they showed any trace.
On the international black market, a living specimen of a monster can often be auctioned for a sky-high price of tens of millions of dollars.
There are even mercenary teams that don’t even fight in wars, but specialize in this lucrative job.
Although there are a few monsters hidden in the laboratories of major countries in the world to serve as guinea pigs, unfortunately there has been no progress in the analysis of the extraordinary.
This is not surprising.
Japan and the United States, two countries with world-leading economic and scientific research capabilities, have first-mover advantages. After 1999, they spent 15 years researching various types of Type A and Type B, but they encountered obstacles everywhere and gained almost nothing.
Now all countries have focused their exploration on the extraordinary people and the secret realm that will appear after the extraordinary era.
After entering the year 2025, the situation suddenly became calm. For ordinary people, extraordinary people and secret realms were nothing more than topics of conversation.
But for leaders of various countries who know more about the inside story, they can’t help but feel terrified.
The Grey Stone, which was excavated from the mineral veins beneath the ruins of an ancient civilization, is a small piece of stone the size of an egg, but it contains energy exceeding 20,000 kilowatts of electricity.
Chakra metal that is almost superconducting at room temperature.
Secret dungeons such as the Nanaka Island and the Death Forest produce rare birds and animals and exotic flowers and plants.
The various specialties from the Naruto world caused a sensation on Earth.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that if these resources could be put on the market, countless industries on Earth, including energy, medical care, and military industry, would experience a major earthquake.
The extraordinary blue ocean has fascinated countless countries and financial groups.
If we can monopolize the extraordinary resources produced by these secret copies, both the national strength and family power can be taken to a higher level.
It’s a pity that the entrance to the secret realm keeps spinning and disappearing, and is not stable.
In many cases, once the lucky ones who accidentally get in by chance come out, they will never appear again.
Even if there are a few fixed secret realms, they only accept extraordinary people, and there is no possibility of large-scale mining.
The world can only recall the glory and magic of this extraordinary civilization through the lucky ones’ oral accounts and photos, as well as the extraordinary items they brought with them.
“Come on, Minister Uchiha. To commemorate the successful conclusion of this meeting, please demonstrate your extraordinary strength.”
A row of earth pits were dug in advance in Manhattan National Park, and the heads of state attending the meeting, led by the President, filled the pits with oak saplings, each no more than a meter tall.
Uchiha Senmon looked calm as he took a few steps forward in front of the cameras of countless reporters.
“Wood Release!”
Uchiha Senmon clasped his hands together and slapped the ground.
The row of newly planted oak seedlings grew vigorously at a speed visible to the naked eye, spreading branches and leaves, and becoming towering trees, forming a tall forest.
“Wow wow wow!”
“It’s amazing!”
“Minister Uchiha, look here, look here!”
Today’s reporters were shouting and marveling at the scene, their cameras never stopping.
Especially he kept shooting at Uchiha Xianmen.
The heads of state attending the meeting were all old guys, and the audience had already gotten sick of seeing these old faces.
As the number one extraordinary person, Minister Uchiha is not only powerful but also young and handsome. He is a new trend. Even after three years, he is still the focus of media attention.
Other heads of state couldn’t help but cast envious glances at the Japanese Prime Minister.
Currently, 90% of the extraordinary people and secret realms in the world appear in the tiny country of Japan.
It is simply doubtful that Japan is the chosen country in the extraordinary era.
The Japanese Prime Minister’s face was flushed with pride.
At this international summit dominated by white countries, the Asian country of Japan stole the show.
