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

Chapter 107 We Are All Little Monsters

The streets of Shinjuku were teeming with people, as if they had become a flowing river of people.

Cheng Sui held Erii's hand, like a fish swimming upstream. The girl's hand was soft and slightly cool, and he could feel her subtle dependence.

But some discordant undercurrent is gathering among the crowd.

Several men in black suits initially followed casually, but more and more men gradually gathered.

Their movements were highly trained, allowing them to move freely through the crowded streets, subtly conveying information to each other through their actions, as an invisible net was quietly tightening.

Cheng Sui secretly activated his Chakra Sensing Technique.

The mental energy traversed the bustling streets, penetrated the cold steel and concrete, and enveloped everything within a radius of one kilometer.

A vast and detailed three-dimensional map was instantly constructed in his mind.

The flowing vehicles, the hurried pedestrians, and the outlines of every building are all clearly visible, with red dots lighting up on this gray-white map.

Ten, twenty, fifty —

These red dots surged in from all directions, forming a huge encirclement that was rapidly shrinking around him and Erii.

However, among all these red dots, one stands out with a completely different presence.

Cheng Sui paused almost imperceptibly, then slowly turned his head to look at the girl beside him.

Erii was curiously looking at the cute dolls in the shop window on the street, her long scarlet hair reflecting the light of the neon lights.

It's her.

This extremely bright red dot was exactly the same one he had sensed when he confronted Tachibana Masamune at Genji Heavy Industries.

So Erii escaped from Genji Heavy Industries? But why has Genji never mentioned it before?

Is there some secret here?

His gaze held a hint of inquiry and surprise. Although Cheng Sui tried his best to hide his emotions, Erii sensed it instantly.

The girl slowly raised her head and met Cheng Sui's gaze.

She had seen that look in her eyes many times.

In that cold, tin-roofed room, every doctor in a white coat who examined her looked at her with that same gaze.

There was a mixture of surprise, alienation, and a hint of barely concealed fear in it.

It's like looking at a monster in human skin.

Erii had never felt anything from that kind of gaze before; her world was a blank slate.

But when Cheng Sui also showed this expression, she felt as if something was blocking her chest.

A bittersweet feeling welled up from the deepest part of her heart, quickly drowning out her initial joy.

The girl's grip on Cheng Sui's hand loosened unconsciously.

Erii's mood, which had just soared to the clouds, plummeted to the bottom without warning.

She returned to reality, realizing that she was ultimately out of place with the people around her and with this colorful world.

She is a little monster in the Ultraman story.

All monsters, from the moment they are born, are destined to be killed by the righteous Ultraman.

This is the fate of the monsters, and no matter how hard they try, they cannot change it.

Cheng Sui did not immediately notice the girl's subtle emotional changes.

On the map in his mind, those red dots were already within reach, sealing off all escape routes.

Continuing to linger in the crowd is not a solution; there are too many ordinary people around him, which will greatly restrict his movements.

We need to find a different battlefield.

Thinking of this, Cheng Sui stopped and spoke to Erii, who had lowered her head slightly.

"Eri, put your arms around my neck."

Erii looked up at him blankly.

Despite feeling extremely down, she still subconsciously obeyed him, reaching out her arms to gently wrap them around his neck.

The next second, with a very soft gasp from the girl, Cheng Sui's arms had already firmly wrapped around her waist and the back of her legs, lifting her up completely.

A gentle thread of chakra flicked from his fingertips, silently binding the girl's fluttering skirt and preventing any possibility of exposure.

After doing all this, Cheng Sui slightly bent his knees.

The chakra beneath his feet erupted instantly.

"boom!"

He shot into the air like a cannonball, carrying Erii, and landed steadily on the side wall of a commercial building amidst the gasps of the crowd on the ground.

This sudden commotion instantly ignited the entire neighborhood.

"There it is!"

"It's the young lady!"

The enforcers of the Snake Clan all looked up at the figure clinging to the high-rise building like Spider-Man, and drew their pistols.

The dark muzzle of the gun was raised, then hesitantly lowered it the next moment.

Cheng Sui's movement speed is too fast.

He moved nimbly between the vertical buildings, each jump precise and swift, making him impossible to lock onto.

More importantly, he was holding the head of the Uesugi family in his arms.

If a bullet were to accidentally hit the young lady, having her five fingers chopped off one by one and then forced to eat them would be the most merciful outcome.

This earth-shattering scene attracted not only the members of the Snake Clan.

Countless desperate criminals drawn by Genjiro's exorbitant bounty also noticed the two conspicuous figures in the night sky.

"Take a picture quickly!"

"Compare it to the photo on the bounty poster!"

"Yes, it's that girl!"

Countless cell phones were pointed at the sky, and after confirming Erii's identity, calls were immediately made to the leaders of their respective gangs.

The entire underground world of Tokyo was completely thrown into turmoil at that moment.

On the rooftop of an even taller building, Mai Shude leaned against the railing, watching the figure darting swiftly between the buildings, a playful smile playing on her lips.

"Tsk tsk, is the little tiger about to roar through the mountains and forests?!"

On the balcony of another building, Kazama Ruri, who had received the king's order, quietly watched this scene.

The night breeze ruffled his long, flowing hair, making him look so fragile that he seemed as if he might be blown away at any moment.

Sakurai Kogure stood behind him, without saying a word.

After a long silence, she finally spoke softly.

Should we help him?

"Help him?"

Kazama Ruri gently rested her arm on the railing, her voice as soft as if she were dreaming.

"He did spare our lives, but he was a lion-like man."

His gaze followed the shadow leaping through the steel forest, his tone carrying a strange sense of awe.

"We outsiders, who rashly trespass into the lion's territory, will only be torn to pieces."

He chuckled softly, a smile that betrayed bitterness and helplessness.

"I can't guarantee that if I were to appear in front of him again, I wouldn't even last three seconds."

Sakurai Kogure fell silent.

Her gaze also turned to the distance, to the man who, single-handedly, stirred up the entire Japanese political landscape.

The whistling wind whistled past my ears.

Erii's dark red hair danced wildly in the night sky, like red roses blooming freely in the darkness.

Night had completely fallen, and the thousands of lights in Shinjuku lit up one by one, forming a dazzling sea of ​​stars.

The girl's pupils clearly reflected Cheng Sui's angular profile.

She could feel her heart pounding violently in her chest.

This feels novel and exciting.

But when he thought of Cheng Sui's look in his eyes, the novelty and excitement were replaced by a deep sense of loss.

With chakra attached to the soles of his feet, Cheng Sui carried Erii as they weaved through the Tokyo buildings under the night sky, leaving their pursuers far behind.

A moment later, the noise and the chase disappeared.

They were sitting atop a skyscraper, Shinjuku Sky, one of Tokyo's tallest buildings.

From here, you can see the entire Tokyo night view, with dazzling lights stretching to the horizon like an overturned galaxy.

In the distance, Tokyo Tower stands silently in the night, like a burning candle.

A gentle evening breeze stirred Erii's hair.

The night view was reflected in the girl's crystal-clear crimson eyes, making her look as beautiful as a painting.

Cheng Sui specifically chose this place.

He thought that Erii would be happy to see such a beautiful view.

But the girl just sat quietly, her delicate face returning to its lifeless, wooden expression.

Cheng Sui then belatedly realized that Erii was actually a very sensitive girl.

She wasn't as dull as she appeared on the surface.

On the contrary, because she has been surrounded by indifference and isolation for many years, she is particularly sensitive to every emotion from the outside world, and is also particularly vulnerable.

"Eri looks unhappy. What's wrong?"

Cheng Sui sat down beside her and asked softly.

Erii swung her pale legs, which were suspended in mid-air, and remained silent for a moment before taking out her notebook and pen from her pocket.

She was writing something carefully in her notebook, and then handed it to Cheng Sui to look at.

"Eri is a little monster, and all monsters will be killed by the righteous Ultraman."

Looking at the girl in front of him, who seemed as if she might break at any moment, he couldn't help but soften his voice even more.

"Does Erii know the meaning of the name Naruto?"

Erii shook her head blankly.

Cheng Sui gazed at the dazzling night view in the distance and spoke slowly.

"Naruto is a boy's name."

"A terrifying monster has been sealed within his body since birth."

"That monster destroyed his village and killed many people, so everyone in the village regarded Naruto as a monster as well."

Erii's eyes flickered, and she turned her head to look intently at Cheng Sui.

"Everyone ignored him, avoided him, and called him a monster."

"But later, someone told Naruto that he wasn't a monster."

He told Naruto that he was a student he recognized, and that Naruto was Naruto, not a monster.

Cheng Sui withdrew his gaze, turned to look at Erii, and a gentle smile appeared on his face.

"So, Erii isn't a monster either."

"Eri is Erii."

"She is Erii, one of a kind in this world."

At that moment, the last rays of the setting sun disappeared just below the horizon.

The starlight in the sky and the sea of ​​lights at his feet blended together, making the handsome boy's profile appear exceptionally gentle.

Erii stared blankly at the boy's face.

In that instant, the dazzling night view, the howling evening wind, and the distant city noise all seemed to fade away from her.

The girl suddenly felt a lump in her throat.

An overwhelming sense of injustice and emotion, unlike anything she had ever felt before, instantly broke down all her defenses.

Erii blinked, and two streams of warm tears uncontrollably welled up and silently slid down her fair and smooth cheeks.
