i am hokage in tokyo

Chapter 364 Chapter 365 Time Weekly

"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 Mount Arakawa, and below the mountainside was a lush forest.

The countryside is vast and sparsely populated, with quite original wooden buildings and flat rice fields on both sides of the road, giving it a bit of a wild feel.

"I was not born in the village. I only lived here for a few years in elementary school and returned to Tokyo before junior high school."

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

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

It was June, the grass was long and the orioles were flying, the rice ears in the rice fields were green, and occasionally buffaloes could be seen leisurely waving their tails and grazing on the ridges of the fields.

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

"Miss, it's just a taste of something new. In a small village like this that doesn't even have a convenience store, you should be crying and returning to Tokyo in less than two days."

Uchiha Naru joked, looking sideways at Mount Arakawa with a look of nostalgia.

"Except for some small handicrafts and agriculture, the village basically has no industry or specialties. The only thing worthy of praise is that you can overlook Mount Fuji by climbing up Mount Arakawa. However, the transportation is not more convenient than in several other villages, and the tourism industry cannot develop."

Uchiha's hometown belongs to Kawamoto Town, Shizuoka Prefecture, and is a small village located at the foot of Mount Arakawa in the Oigawa area.

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

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

It's just that the geographical location of the village is a bit awkward. Although you can't starve to death by digging in the fields, you can't get rich either.

"So today you are staying in the Uchiha family's old house? I want to see where you grew up."

Matsudaira Chiyo's eyes sparkled.

"Unfortunately, the house in my hometown has not been lived in for almost ten years and has not been cleaned. Now it will be uninhabitable for a while."

Matsudaira Chiyo was a little disappointed, Uchiha Naruto changed the subject:
"But Auntie Namiru has already taken the lead and returned to the village, and we settled at her place. I stayed at my grandma's house longer than I did in the old house. It's no different from my own home."

"Then you didn't tell me sooner."

Chiyo Matsudaira gave Uchiha Ming an angry look.

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

When the off-road vehicle passed a hillside, you saw a yard, which was in a traditional old Japanese style.

There was a woman dressed as an assistant at the door of the courtyard, looking eagerly.

When the off-road vehicle stopped at the entrance of the yard and Uchiha Naruto and Matsudaira Chiyo got off, the woman immediately turned around and walked towards the yard.

"Ms. Sakaki, Mr. Little Uchiha is back!"

Not long after, surrounded by several female assistants, Miru Sakaki, wearing a women's black suit, walked over heroically.

"Ming Zai... uh, Ming is here so soon?!"

Different from the tomboyish physical education teacher before, Sakaki Namiru now has a sharp gaze, a smart and capable temperament, and a hint of a strong woman.

After all, Sakaki Namiru is now the head of a foundation worth tens of billions of yen. Over the past few years, she has been tempered.

Extraordinaries are the ticket to the new era, and their importance is self-evident. The official twelve generals' salary and mission allowance alone are astronomical figures for one year.

In addition to superheroes, the Twelve Gods will also have the attributes of superstars.

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

The Twelve Generals is a depression that can attract more traffic than Olympic champions, Hollywood stars, and super Internet celebrities.

Under such circumstances, the Twelve God Generals only need to shoot an advertisement and go to a hole, and the sideline business can even earn much more than their main job.

Uchiha Senmon, the head of the Supernatural Police Department, has been selected as the 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 divine generals, and he has a glorious resume, it is also because this is a world where faces are important.

The appearance of the Uchiha clan is obvious to all, and a large part of the support group of the Uchiha Clan are his fans.

Not long after Uchiha Senmon entered the stage of history, there were already brokerage companies coming to the door waving money. Hollywood even customized a new series of superhero movie projects for Uchiha Senmon, and kindly invited Uchiha Senmon to star in his true colors.

You can pick up money just by lying down.

The Uchiha Sect is naturally not sensitive to this kind of publicity business activities.

But if you can't bear it, power and wealth will be concentrated on extraordinary people.

Uchiha Senmon is a frequent guest on various documentaries and supernatural programs, and the papers he wrote during the Search for the Fourth Course were decrypted and published as popular science books on supernatural beings. The copyright fees and portrait fees alone exceeded [-] billion yen.

After careful consideration, the Uchiha Immortal Sect decided to donate all this large sum of money with a wave of their hands.

Established the world's first charitable foundation to assist victims of supernatural disasters.

However, the Uchiha Sect was too busy to manage the mundane affairs of the foundation. At this moment, Sakaki Namiru volunteered to share the worries for her brother-in-law.

As the sister-in-law of the Uchiha Sect, Sakana Miru must be someone he can trust.

Sensei Uchiha dubiously handed over the operation of the foundation to Sakaki Nami-ryu, and if he didn't go on a business trip for a while, he simply let go and let him have his way.

"A Ming, who is this girl?"

Sakaki Namiru looked at Matsudaira Chiyo standing next to Uchiha Naruto, a little surprised.

"Sister Namiru, this is my girlfriend, Chiyo Matsudaira."

Uchiha Naru changed her name to sister instead of aunt in front of Sakaki Namiru.

Matsudaira Chiyo took the initiative to take a step forward, bowed 90 degrees, and said hello obediently:
"Hello, the little girl is A Ming's girlfriend. She came to visit today without notice. I'm really sorry for disturbing you."

"Miss Matsudaira, welcome!"

Sakaki Namiru immediately returned the greeting.

Then she couldn't help but glared at Uchiha Naru, blaming him for not notifying him in advance and bringing her such a big surprise.

Naruto Uchiha shrugged disapprovingly.

"Ms. Matsudaira, have we met somewhere? I always feel a little familiar."

Sakaki Namiru squinted her eyes, scrutinized Matsudaira Chiyo's beautiful face, and couldn't help asking.

"I feel the same way. When I see you, I feel so friendly, just like family. Can I call you Namiru sister like Aming?" Matsudaira Chiyo said with a smile. "Of course, come on, come in quickly. Brat, you can bring your luggage in yourself!"

Sakaki Namiru enthusiastically held Matsudaira Chiyo's hand, and pulled her in, ignoring Uchiha Naruto.

My sister and brother-in-law are not here, so as an elder, I must take care of things.

Yes!

Matsudaira Chiyo turned her head and quietly made a scissor gesture to Uchiha Ming.

Uchiha Ming was helpless and could only take out two suitcases from the trunk of the off-road vehicle and drag them to the yard.

Uchiha Naruto walked into the living room of the Sakaki family's ancestral house and looked around, feeling a bit emotional about revisiting his old place.

The living room is spacious enough, even brighter than Uchiha Naruto'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 hangs above the beam.

"My house hasn't been lived in for two or three years. I just cleaned it up yesterday. Chiyo, don't dislike it."

"How could it be, Sister Namiliu, this is where A Ming grew up. Coming here feels like coming home."

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

Before Matsudaira Chiyo showed her true nature, the appearance of a well-educated young lady was still very deceptive.

Miru Sakaki looked at the bright-eyed Chiyo Matsudaira and her elegant and decent conversation, and the more she looked at him, the more satisfied she became.

After a brief conversation (under the board), I learned that Chiyo Matsudaira was a college student at Ochanomizu Women's University, and his family background was very well-to-do.

As a wild girl who grew up in the countryside, Sakana Miru still likes this kind of eldest lady style.

"Chiyo, how could a girl with such good conditions like you fall in love with my A-Ming? He has nothing to offer except his face, which is just like his father's."

"Nami-ryu-sama, what are you talking about? Amin is versatile, gentle and considerate. In addition to being a top student at Tokyo University, he is also a high school national champion in kyudo. I am not worthy of him." Matsudaira Chiyo said softly.

After chatting for a while, Sakaki Namimiru suggested:
"Chiyo, would you like to visit A ​​Ming's room here?"

"Um, Sister Namiru, is this really okay?"

"Of course. It's at the far end of the second floor, in the room with the scratches on the door that records the height!"

"Then I'm sorry."

Chiyo Matsudaira stood up, bowed gracefully, and then walked towards the stairwell.

Uchiha Naru was about to go upstairs with Matsudaira Chiyo when he noticed that Aunt Namira was winking at him wildly. He immediately knew that Aunt Sakaki Namira was intending to get rid of Matsudaira Chiyo.

"A Ming, why did your stupid head suddenly brighten up as soon as you entered college! When you were in elementary school here, you were not interested in girls. How did you win over Miss Matsudaira?"

Sakaki Namiru had a gossipy look on her face, her eyes were shining, and she spoke in a low voice.

"I am an adult too. If you care about this, why not care about yourself? You are not young anymore, Namiru-nee." Uchiha Naru said in a serious tone.

This move hit the mark, and Sakaki Namiru suddenly choked.

"Speaking of which, Ms. Matsudaira looks familiar to me all the time. Ah Ming, do you know anything?" Nami Sakaki frowned and thought hard.

"Chiyo is also a student of the private Jinguji High School. Sister Namiru, you worked as a trainee physical education teacher at Jinguji for one semester three years ago. It's not surprising that we happened to meet each other." Naruto Uchiha said casually.

"Oh, I remembered! When I went to Jinguji High School where you were studying for an interview, that Ms. Matsudaira was watching from the interview venue."

Hearing Uchiha Ming say this, Sakaki Namiru was suddenly enlightened.

"I just said how could I pass the screening of a private high school based on my resume? It turns out that your little girlfriend helped, so you guys got into school three years ago?" Sakaki Nami beamed with a smile on her face.

Naruto Uchiha was noncommittal.

Although Uchiha Naru attracted the attention of Matsudaira Chiyo at that time, it was not out of admiration, but out of Rakuko's curiosity to get to the bottom of things.

"Calculating the time, it will be before my brother-in-law becomes rich, so I can feel relieved a little bit."

Sakaki Namiru let out a breath, and her expression suddenly became much more relaxed.

"Today is different from the past. The Uchiha family is no longer a country boy weaving Uchiwa handicrafts. People are eyeing the power of my brother-in-law, the most extraordinary person, the head of the Supernatural Police Department, and the foundation's money. There must be one more person. Mind’s eye.”

Sakaki Namiru's face darkened.

"Although my brother-in-law is destined to fall in love, he is deeply devoted to his sister and will never give up until death. Now that you have a girlfriend, you should learn more from your brother-in-law."

Miru Sakaki seemed to remember something again, and muttered a few words in a low voice.

"It's not good to be too single-minded."

Auntie Namiliu means something to her words.

Uchiha Ming didn't take it seriously and asked:
"Grandma and grandpa, are you feeling well?"

"My body is very strong, but I have been complaining that I am exhausted from staying in a big city and want to go back to the village to farm."

"The old man is really stubborn. For the sake of safety, it is better to stay in Tokyo."

Uchiha Naruto sighed.

“When I returned to the village after so many years, I felt that it was really desolate and withered.”

This is also unavoidable.

Due to the declining birth rate and aging population, Japan's demographic crisis has further deepened. As young residents move into big cities and the elderly die, many villages die silently.

Especially after the advent of the Extraordinary Era and the existence of real-life monsters, the panic among the people has further intensified the concentration of the population in urban areas.

After all, there are not even many young and middle-aged people in the remote countryside. If you are attacked by monsters, you can only wait and wait until rescue arrives, and your bones will be cold.

However, as Feiyue no longer appears, the number of monsters and evil spirits causing trouble has also been greatly reduced.

According to official statistics, only a dozen people died due to strange attacks in the first half of the seventh year of Reiwa.

There were not many homicide cases yet, so some people began to take chances.

The current Japanese official propaganda caliber is to require the people to get used to coexisting with monsters and evil spirits for a long time.

"Tonight is the whole night of the funeral. The last elder in the village named Uchiha also returns to dust."

Sakaki Namiru looked towards Uchiha Naruto with a narrow smile on her face.

"The Uchiha family is Ding Busheng, Ming, you have to work harder."
