I'm a Hokage in Tokyo

"I seem to hear a dog barking? Is it an illusion..."

Naruto Uchiha, who was buried in the desk, raised his head, looked out the door thoughtfully, and immediately ignored it.

A huge map of Japan was spread out on the desk, and Naruto Uchiha was drawing circles and markings in cities based on the investigation report submitted by Yui Shiranui.

"Nara, Kobe, Yokohama, Hiroshima... Are these dozens of cities the most abundant in natural energy among Japanese cities?" Naruto Uchiha put down his pen, looked at the map and rubbed his chin.

Japan is a long and narrow island country extending from northeast to southwest, spanning 25 latitudes, with great differences in climate between the north and the south.

Naruto Uchiha asked the people organized to investigate the concentration of natural energy in the land veins in cities across the country, of course there is a target.

The first reason is to plan ahead.

Fifteen years after Heisei, Naruto Uchiha was born in this world, and unprecedented monsters and evil spirits also appeared. However, until 2022, such astronomical changes as the crimson moon have never happened for fifteen years.

Naruto Uchiha's awakening system, within two months of making waves after gaining the power of Chakra, the Crimson Moon appeared three times, but in the three years when Naruto Uchiha hid forbearance on the grounds of "Jedi Tiantong", it did not appear once .

The active period of Crimson Moon completely overlaps with that of Uchiha Naruto.

The reason for this is extremely frightening.

Before Jedi Tiantong, Uchiha Naruto was convinced that he and Scarlet Moon had an inseparable bond.

Is it one thing? Or maybe it is the natural enemy of your life and death, it is really hard to say.

Naruto Uchiha had a vague premonition that the more frequent troubles were, the stronger the power used by the main body, and the frequency and intensity of Crimson Moon also increased, and finally recovered completely.

Using the fairy tales I read in the previous life as an inappropriate example, it seems that the old monster who was supposed to ascend to the heavenly realm insisted on staying in the human realm, so the law of heaven and earth would send down a catastrophe to kill him. The more magic power the old monster uses, the stronger the power of the catastrophe, so the old monster can only suppress its own power in order to escape the catastrophe, and escape from the world.

Because of this, Naruto Uchiha tried not to end himself in the past three years, and used the power of the main body.

Facts have proved that his hunch was not wrong.

As Uchiha's Narumaki died down, the moon also became honest.

If you continue to engage in trouble at the frequency of 2022, I am afraid that the decisive battle will not take a year.

Naruto Uchiha was very apprehensive about Scarlet Moon's unknown real body, so he decided to go ahead and develop insignificantly.

However, with the painstaking efforts of the Japanese government, the twelve generals, and organizations in recent years, the monsters on the Japanese island have also been wiped out in sevens and eights, leaving only the fish that slipped through the net hiding in the deep mountains and old forests or possessing special concealment techniques. .

With the efforts of the downlines, Naruto Uchiha successfully raised his level to the 'Kage Level'.

After entering 2025, the whole of Japan suddenly became peaceful, and the number of ninja jade that Naruto Uchiha could harvest gradually became scarce.

Is it time for the Crimson Moon to emerge again?

But before that, Naruto Uchiha had to make arrangements first.

That is enchantment ninjutsu.

The entire ground and the sky above Muye Village are shrouded in a huge spherical barrier, which can sound an alarm to intruders, and Payne was sensed when he invaded Muye Village.

If Naruto Uchiha can open this great barrier of perception throughout Japan, and wipe out all the weirdness in Japan, it will be no problem.

It's a pity that even though Naruto Uchiha's barrier ninjutsu has reached LV4 (max), it is still beyond his power to open a super barrier that can cover the entire territory of Japan.

Unless you reach the realm of the Sage of the Six Paths.

So Naruto Uchiha intends to find another way to use the location, that is, natural energy to achieve this.

Natural energy is a kind of energy that exists between the earth and the atmosphere independently of chakra.

Under the Loulan ruins in the world of Naruto, there is a huge and almost infinite energy, which is the dragon vein.

The power of dragon veins is even strong enough to allow many people to transfer time and space.

There is natural energy on the earth, but the natural energy flowing in the veins of the earth cannot be compared with the world of Naruto at all, and it is even less likely to be as strong as the Loulan dragon veins.

But with the help of natural energy, Uchiha Naruto's arrangement of enchantment ninjutsu can also be done with half the effort.

From the north to the south line, set up perceptual large barriers in major cities in Japan, and then connect these large barriers in series to form a closed loop.

A super-sized country is formed into an array, and it is completed.

In theory, this is more feasible than opening a super enchantment that is huge enough to cover Japan.

However, this plan is only in theory now, and it must be very difficult to achieve it.

Taking a step back, it is not a problem to use this enchantment technique to protect one party.

In short, take a city to practice first.

As for success or failure, we will talk about it later.

Besides, Naruto Uchiha had one more thing, so he did it together by the way.

"Ninja recruitment, start!"

Naruto Uchiha snapped his fingers, and then there were ripples in the study room, and shadowy phantoms appeared one after another, filling the study room enough to accommodate more than a dozen people.

Every time you level up, the system will unlock new features.

Promoted to Zhongnin to open the item store, especially when you are a Jonin, you will be a mentor and apprentice, and you will be a copy of the secret realm when you reach Jonin; and this year, you will be promoted to the Kage rank to unlock "Ninja Recruitment"!

While the newly unlocked system features may sound extraordinary, they're actually...

"Tsk, although it is said that it is a ninja recruitment, but it really can only summon such a black shadow?"

Naruto Uchiha frowned, opened and closed his eyes, and the black Sangou jade slowly turned in his eyes.

Thick black mist covered the entire body of these figures, not only the faces were completely unrecognizable, even the outlines of the bodies were almost completely invisible.

But with the insight of Uchiha Naruto's Sharingan, as well as the memory of the past, he can still call the names of black shadows one by one.

"Mizuki."

"Iruka."

"Moonlight Gale."

"Daimaru."

...

Uchiha Naruto's eyes, a few black shadows in the horizontal corner.

"There are even such unpopular figures as Qingming from Jiangxi Village and Beidou from Xingren Village."

When the ninja recruitment was first unlocked, Naruto Uchiha's heart was beating non-stop.

If the characters of Hokage can be summoned to reality, that would be really amazing.

But after a closer look, I was disappointed.

These figures entwined with black mist are lifeless, rigid, and sluggish. They don't even have a real body. They are not living people at all, not even undead.

It's like the shadow of an evil spirit, the residue of a burned soul, or a spirit body like a ninja shadow.

Let's just call them Shadow Ninjas.

Although there is no entity and will, these shadow ninjas are not useless at all.

When Naruto Uchiha casually took a shadow ninja into his hand, he could read a lot of information contained in the shadow ninja just like flipping through a book.

The fighting experience as a ninja, all kinds of extremely complex emotions and obsessions, as well as fragmented memory data, etc., all poured into Uchiha Naruto's consciousness.

However, Naruto Uchiha's Sharingan has reached the level of a kaleidoscope. He is a master who is proficient in the changes in the nature of the chakra.

At this time, Naruto Uchiha couldn't help but wonder, what is the essence of these shadow ninjas?

It can't really be the remnants of ninjas...

Or is it a memory replica made by the system based on the information of the Naruto character prototype...

Leaving aside these doubts, Naruto Uchiha immediately realized the purpose of these shadow ninjas.

It is able to mass-produce cannon fodder, and it is high-quality cannon fodder.

Although Naruto Uchiha can impart extraordinary power to other people, it still takes a long time for ordinary people who have been in peace for a long time to become a qualified warrior from scratch.

Even if modern civilians force strong men to go to the battlefield, they still need to train for a few months. Even so, they will be full of ugly faces on the battlefield.

Needless to say, extraordinary people, it is not that simple to become a combat power.

If the shadow ninja is attached to the entity and "returns the soul from the corpse", then by virtue of the shadow ninja's intelligence, combat experience, and spiritual will, it can suddenly cultivate a killing machine with strong spirit, cold will, and rich combat experience.

Otsuki Kaguya can rely on the sacred tree to mass-produce the Baijue army, and Uchiha Naruto can also use ninja recruitment to pull out an army of ninjas that is more powerful than the Baijue army, the Black Shadow Corps!

"However, the only ones who can be recruited are ninjas. If ordinary people like Ichile and Iris are also recruited, then they will not even be qualified to serve as cannon fodder." Uchiha Naruto said with a chuckle.

However, the shadow ninjas are only spirit bodies after all, and have no real body. If they want to become combat power, they must be ready to rely on.

The question now is, what should be the physical object that the shadow ninja possesses?

Uchiha Naruto's kaleidoscope pupil technique, Tianyu's life, can create a physical illusion that is almost like a living person, which is perfect as a container for the shadow ninja.

However, Naruto Uchiha is given the opportunity to recruit ninjas every day. Over time, there are now hundreds of shadow ninjas in the illustrated book.

The Black Shadow Corps, Naruto Uchiha intends to keep them in reality as a standing army, so the pupil power of the kaleidoscope is definitely not enough.

"Then the only remaining choice is the living?" Naruto Uchiha pondered while pursing his lips.

It's just that this is not a good thing for the possessed object.

In this extraordinary era, there are twelve gods and generals as role models, and countless people have sharpened their heads to get ahead and drill a way to reach the sky.

Indeed, if possessed by a shadow ninja, one can reach the sky in one step and become extraordinary.

However, the shadow ninja carries a lot of information, broken memories and emotions, which will undoubtedly impact the thinking of ordinary people, and even overwrite and rewrite it, empathizing with the "life experience" of the shadow ninja.

Accidentally caused schizophrenia, or lost himself, so that the intelligence information of the shadow ninja took over the dominance of the body.

In some cases, it is a real resurrection of the corpse.

Naruto Uchiha didn't want to use such a simple and rude way to create the Shadow Corps.

"Try it first, one body with two souls, or the spirit behind you to rely on...Wait, isn't this a typical golden finger with the old grandfather? If hundreds of 'grandfathers' are released at once, then Chaofan will It’s too cheap, first find a city to try it out.”

After thinking about it, Naruto Uchiha decided to try a milder method first.

The problem of the possession is solved, then the next problem is the problem of energy supply.

After being promoted to the Kage rank, even if Naruto Uchiha's chakra is already of the order of a human-tailed beast like Kisame, but if he has to offer demons to hundreds, and may even break through thousands of Ninjas in the future, then he I will also be drained.

At this time, it is a good choice to use the natural energy in the leylines to support the actions of the shadow ninja.

In the world of Naruto, Baizu lurks in the ancient country of Loulan, and uses the energy of dragon veins to mass-produce puppets, and even further sublimate the puppets.

Arranging an enchantment is like building a dam to raise the water level, further accumulating the natural energy in the veins, which is definitely more than enough for a few shadow ninjas.

The hardware problem is solved, so the next step is the software.

"Shadow Ninja definitely can't just release it to ordinary people. It must be done step by step to adapt an identity that fits the background of the current era."

"The extraordinary in the heavens, or the extraordinary in the Heian era, who reincarnated after a thousand years and made a comeback? Or is the obsession lingering in the world and not awakening until meeting the destined person?"

"Whatever is good, all in all, the intelligence information of the shadow ninja must be drastically deleted, and it must be consistent with the worldview I compiled before."

"It doesn't seem interesting to release only one or two shadow ninjas. It's better to release a few more at a time. It can be inspected from multiple angles, but this will test my script skills, or let it go after improvisation." No matter, let it play freely?"

It's been a long time since I've done such a big job, Uchiha Naruto felt that his skills were a bit sloppy, but at the same time, his hands were itchy and he was eager to try.

"What kind of story should I tell the world this time...and who will be behind this plan? Akatsuki, or Abe Seimei?"

Naruto Uchiha took out a notebook from the drawer, wrote and drew on it, repeatedly deleted, revised and smeared, deliberated on his own plan, and wrote a large page just for the setting.

"That's about it. As for the details, I will add them later. Let's start choosing the stage now."

After half an hour, Naruto Uchiha closed his notebook contentedly.

"Let me see which city will be so lucky."

Looking at the dozen or so cities circled on the map, Naruto Uchiha closed his eyes and casually threw a kunai out.

Duang!

Naruto Uchiha opened his eyes, glanced at the location on the map where Kunai was stabbed, and frowned.

"It's Kobe."
