I'm in the Dragon Clan, bound to the Naruto Counterattack System

Chapter 101 Buying Clothes

Yuan Zhisheng's fingers trembled almost imperceptibly.

Tachibana Masamune, however, remained calm. He spoke slowly, his voice deep and authoritative, carrying a force that compelled calm: "Don't panic, Crow. Explain yourself. What happened?"

Although Tachibana Masamune's voice was gentle, it carried the authority of a superior.

"Master," the crow said, only then realizing that Tachibana Masamune was also present, and quickly bowed.

At this moment, Yasha and Yabuki Sakura also rushed out of the stairwell one after the other, both of them breathing rapidly, obviously having run all the way there.

"Speak quickly." Yuan Zhisheng lit a Gentle Seven Star cigarette, took a deep drag, and his expression had returned to its usual calm.

"It was Cheng Sui," Crow breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The head of the Uesugi family went to a convenience store to take shelter from the rain, and Cheng Sui happened to be in that convenience store as well. We don't know exactly what happened, but the head of the Uesugi family, who usually ignores strangers, was taken away by Cheng Sui."

Tachibana Masamune's originally gentle expression instantly turned gloomy, and his old, somewhat cloudy eyes almost seemed to spit fire.

Once, twice, one after another!

This young man seemed born to oppose him, always appearing precisely at the most crucial junctures in his plans, turning his painstakingly crafted schemes upside down.

The relationship between Genjiro and Genjiro is like this, and now he even wants to take Erii away.

Tachibana Masamune originally thought that the storm Cheng Sui had stirred up in Japan was nearing its end, and that the next steps would simply involve investigating the attack and searching for his missing senior.

He did indeed orchestrate the attack, but all traces were completely erased on the night of the explosion.

As for Cheng Sui, that seemingly useless senior, Tachibana Masamune was also furious. He dispatched more than a dozen agents carefully trained by the Snake Clan to lay a trap, intending to capture this seemingly useless agent alive in order to restrain Cheng Sui.

As it turns out, this seemingly unreliable German was not only incredibly skilled, but also seemed to have a full-map radar installed in his brain. No matter how he tried to surround and intercept him, the other party could always slip out of the encirclement in the most unbelievable and tricky way, making a fool of his elite agents.

These two young men from Kassel headquarters have kept him awake for several nights in a row.

One of them was like the blazing sun, sweeping away all obstacles with overwhelming power; the other was like a ghostly shadow, whose every trick in the book could not touch even a corner of his clothes.

Tachibana Masamune would even wake up in the middle of the night in uncontrollable fear, worrying that one of the two would suddenly appear silently at his bedside and end everything for him.

Unlike Tachibana Masamune, who was gradually becoming panicked, Genjiro calmed down completely after the initial shock.

This may be the essential difference between a born emperor and a faker.

A true king, even without great ambition, can still demonstrate composure and leadership in times of crisis.

Those who lack the capacity to match it, even if they acquire immense power, are still, at their core, ants living in constant fear.

"Within five minutes, I need to see all the videos in that convenience store that include Erii and Cheng Sui."

Yuan Zhisheng stubbed out the cigarette with his fingers, seemingly oblivious to the burning pain, and calmly issued the command.

"At the same time, order Princess Kaguya to immediately block all network channels for these two headquarters specialists within Japan, especially their communication lines with the Kassel College headquarters. Cut off their possibility of requesting assistance."

The crow and the yaksha looked at each other.

Then the two of them turned their gaze to Yabuki Sakura, and both showed expressions of pity.

Yasha and Crow had previously suspected why their boss hadn't shown any interest in Sakura, such a perfect and capable deputy. It turns out the boss is a siscon.

Genji seemed to understand what was in the eyes of the crow and the yaksha. He looked up at the clock on the wall and estimated the time.

"Tokyo is the most densely populated megacity in Asia."

He took a deep breath, his tone heavy, and said something more like stating a terrible fact than explaining.

"My concern isn't for Erii, but for the tens of millions of citizens of Tokyo. If Erii gets provoked and loses control, the entire city of Tokyo will be dragged down with her."

However, at this very moment, the terrifying entity that Genjiro spoke of, capable of annihilating tens of millions of people overnight, was located in Takashimaya Times Square, the most bustling commercial center in Shinjuku.

This massive 14-story commercial complex is renowned in Tokyo for its sheer size and one-stop shopping experience.

A dazzling array of goods, a constant flow of people, and dazzling lights and exquisite shop windows combine to create an extremely prosperous modern urban scene.

Cheng Sui stood in the dazzling central hall of the shopping mall, feeling slightly dizzy. Even for him, this was the first time he had ever been in such a large-scale commercial maze.

Erii, standing behind him, was even more nervous than he was.

The girl's slender, icy fingers gripped Cheng Sui's hand tightly, as if he were the only one she could rely on in this unfamiliar and turbulent ocean.

Cheng Sui felt the soft touch and slight trembling in his palm, and his own palm unconsciously became sweaty.

Even when facing hundreds of menacing and dangerous mixed-race individuals, he had never been so helpless as he was now.

This duo has attracted a lot of attention.

A stunningly beautiful girl, soaking wet and dressed in an ancient shrine maiden's outfit, stands beside a plainly dressed, slightly disheveled young man.

Most passersby cast curious glances at them, assuming they were a young couple caught in the downpour.

However, after seeing the situation clearly, many people pointed at Cheng Sui and whispered, "How could he let his girlfriend get so wet?", "So inconsiderate", "These young people nowadays", and so on.

Cheng Sui's keen hearing picked up all these complaints, and he could only roll his eyes inwardly in frustration.

The two stood in front of the huge sign in the mall, both looking somewhat lost.

Erii, needless to say, lived a life almost entirely isolated from the world. Cheng Sui, looking at the unfamiliar brand logos on the signs—GENTEN, TOMORROWLAND, Shu Uemura, Tokyu Hands, and so on—felt equally bewildered.

Fortunately, his eyes caught a familiar name among the densely packed signs.

"How about we buy clothes here?"

Cheng Sui pointed to the "UNIQLO" sign on the seventh floor and looked down to ask Erii.

Upon hearing about buying clothes, Erii's eyes flashed with the expectant light of a child seeing a new toy, but she quickly and carefully hid this emotion, simply nodding obediently.

Stepping into Uniqlo, you'll find neatly arranged, basic clothing items in soft colors.

Compared to the glamorous luxury brands outside, the style here appears exceptionally simple and approachable.

However, even these simple clothes were like opening up a whole new world for Erii.

She looked at each item with curiosity, yet dared not touch them, afraid that the water stains on her clothes would soil the clean goods.

Cheng, who had initially stood in front of Erii to block others' view, was now being pulled along by Erii, and suddenly felt like he was accompanying his girlfriend shopping.

"Hello, do you need any help?"

A smiling sales assistant stepped forward at the opportune moment, her gaze shifting between Cheng Sui and Erii.

She was experienced and could tell that the young couple had considerable spending potential.

Erii immediately looked up at Cheng Sui and held up her notebook.

"Can Erii buy clothes?"

Although Cheng Sui couldn't understand the sales assistant's Japanese, he could read Chinese characters.

He looked into Erii's expectant yet somewhat timid crimson eyes, smiled gently, and nodded.

"Of course, I brought you here to buy clothes."

Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Erii's face seemed to glow with a glimmer of light. She immediately turned to the sales assistant and began to carefully select items one by one.

Just then, a young Japanese man who was also waiting nearby, probably bored, leaned closer to Cheng Sui and, in Japanese that Cheng Sui couldn't understand, casually remarked, "Hey bro, are you here shopping for clothes with your girlfriend too? Sigh, this must be exhausting, even more tiring than going to work! Right?"

Looking at the other person's "we're in the same boat" expression, Cheng Sui could only respond with an awkward but polite smile.
