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

Chapter 114 The target has been confirmed to have reached Tokyo Tower.

Eight o'clock in the morning, at a breakfast shop near a love hotel.

Since the love hotel did not provide breakfast, the two had to go out for breakfast.

Cheng Sui and Erii sat down at a window seat.

The menu at the restaurant is very thoughtful, with small English explanations below the Japanese text.

Cheng ordered two bowls of miso soup, along with grilled fish and several rice balls.

Erii was still wearing the same dress as yesterday, her long, dark red hair flowing smoothly over her shoulders, which made her delicate, fair face even more striking.

Her striking appearance attracted the attention of many passersby.

As Cheng Sui chewed on the almost tasteless grilled fish, he silently longed for the taste of soy milk and fried dough sticks.

He really couldn't get used to Japanese breakfasts; the miso soup was bland, the grilled fish had a fishy smell, and only the rice balls were barely palatable.

As for that thing called natto, Cheng Sui had seen it in convenience stores, and just smelling it made his stomach churn.

He quickly finished his portion and then quietly looked at Erii across from him.

The girl ate very slowly, taking small bites of rice and stuffing them into her mouth with her cheeks slightly puffed out, reminiscent of a hamster.

The girl finished eating quickly.

The two left the small breakfast shop amidst the proprietress's enthusiastic greeting of "Welcome to visit again next time."

The morning sun shines on me, bringing a touch of warmth.

After breakfast, Cheng Sui took Erii into a convenience store.

He needs to buy two masks to cover his face and avoid attracting unnecessary attention.

Various cartoon face masks are hanging on the shelves.

Cheng Sui picked up a card with a tiger pattern printed on it.

He looked at Erii, and the girl pointed without hesitation to the cute cat-patterned mask next to her.

After putting on their masks, the two continued walking towards the subway station.

When the subway station entrance came into view, Cheng unexpectedly realized that something was wrong.

Several uniformed staff members were standing at the entrance, bowing and apologizing to passengers trying to enter. A red notice was scrolling on the electronic display screen next to them.

"Due to an unexpected situation in the underground lines, all four subway lines leading to Tokyo Tower have been suspended and are expected to resume operation tonight. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause."

"Are you kidding me!"

"Couldn't you have given me advance notice? I'm going to be late for my meeting!"

"What have those damned bureaucrats done with the tax money we pay?!"

A chorus of complaints erupted from the crowd, with many well-dressed office workers sighing and looking anxious.

Several hot-tempered individuals were already pointing their fingers at the staff and hurling insults.

The entire subway entrance was in complete chaos.

Erii looked at the chaotic scene, tugged at Cheng Sui's sleeve, and held up her notebook.

"What should we do?"

The girl's beautiful scarlet eyes revealed an obvious sorrow.

She quickly added a few more sentences to the notebook.

"Does this mean we can't go to Tokyo Tower?"

Cheng Sui patted her head reassuringly.

"We can take a taxi," Cheng Sui said softly. "Although we might be discovered, it's the only option for now."

However, when they returned to the ground, Cheng casually witnessed the true horror of Tokyo's traffic.

Tokyo’s subway system is the busiest and most crowded in the world, handling astronomical numbers of passengers every day.

The saying "so crowded you get pregnant" originated from the Tokyo subway during the morning rush hour.

Now that these four core lines have suddenly stopped operating, the massive passenger flow that should have been absorbed by the underground transportation network has all surged onto the surface at the same time.

The already congested streets were now completely paralyzed.

At a glance, the road was filled with densely packed vehicles, forming a long steel dragon that seemed to stretch endlessly. The continuous honking of horns and people's curses blended into a cacophony of noise.

Cheng Sui and Erii stood by the roadside, looking at the completely congested scene before them, at a loss for what to do.

Just then.

A yellow taxi silently emerged from a small alley and slowly pulled up beside the two of them.

The car window rolled down, revealing the face of a kind-looking middle-aged man.

"Little girls, where are you headed?"

The middle-aged man asked in Japanese with a smile.

Before Cheng Sui could speak, Erii had already handed the small notebook she had written in to the car window.

"Let's go to Tokyo Tower."

Upon seeing the words in the notebook, the uncle's smile widened even further.

"Would you like to ride in my car?" he continued enthusiastically, "Look how crowded it is here. I have a secret passage that can bypass all this traffic and guarantee you'll get to Tokyo Tower in under half an hour."

Erii was about to reply when Cheng Sui stopped her with a gesture.

"What did he say?" Cheng asked.

He warily eyed the smiling driver in the car.

At this critical juncture, anyone who takes the initiative to appear should be viewed with suspicion.

"The uncle said he could take us to Tokyo Tower and we wouldn't have to worry about traffic," Erii wrote in her notebook.

Cheng Sui looked at the driver with suspicion in his eyes.

"If we go any later, we won't be able to get to the Tokyo Tower observation deck."

The driver, standing nearby, added fuel to the fire at just the right moment, his tone full of goodwill and concern for you.

Erii immediately translated the sentence to Cheng Sui.

Cheng Sui sized up the driver, unable to determine whether what the other person was saying was true or false.

But if what he said was true, if Erii's last wish was dashed because of his hesitation, he glanced at the girl beside him, who was looking at him with expectant eyes.

After weighing the options, Cheng Sui nodded to the driver.

Erii's eyes lit up instantly, and she happily jumped up and down on the spot.

However, Cheng Sui regretted it as soon as he got on the bus.

The driver was telling the truth; he did indeed have a "secret passage" that could avoid all traffic.

Because he never took the main roads with lots of people, but instead frantically turned and weaved through countless narrow and cramped alleys.

This seemingly ordinary yellow taxi displayed performance comparable to a rally car at this moment.

The driver was going incredibly fast; every time he drifted around a corner, the car was practically pressed against the wall.

Cheng Sui felt as if the rice balls and grilled fish he had eaten that morning were about to be thrown out of his stomach by the violent shaking.

He subconsciously looked at Erii beside him.

The girl, however, seemed completely unaffected. Not only did she show no discomfort, but her crimson eyes even sparkled with excitement.

The taxi eventually came to a slow stop next to a park.

From here, you can see the Tokyo Tower in its entirety, a red and white structure that stands like a steel giant in the center of the city.

There were only a few tourists around, not many at all, and it was nothing like the crowded scene the driver had described, where "if we were any later, we wouldn't be able to get on."

"Cheng Hui, one hundred US dollars."

The driver rubbed his hands together, turned around with a smile, and said in fluent English.

"How many?"

Cheng Sui frowned; he knew he had been deceived.

The normal taxi fare from here to where they boarded the bus would definitely not exceed thirty dollars.

But looking at the driver's face, which was still kind but had an undeniable smile, Cheng Sui sighed silently.

He took out his wallet from his pocket, counted out one hundred dollars, and handed it over.

Now is not the time to create unnecessary trouble.

Thank you for your patronage.

The driver took the money, his smile becoming even more genuine.

Cheng Sui ignored him and pulled Erii out of the car.

The girl's attention was completely drawn to the magnificent iron tower not far away. She skipped happily, grabbed Cheng Sui's hand, and ran towards the base of Tokyo Tower.

In the sunlight, her silhouette moved as nimbly as a butterfly.

Inside the taxi, the driver watched the two figures gradually disappear into the distance, and the smile on his face slowly faded.

He picked up his phone and skillfully sent a message.

"The target has been confirmed to have arrived at Tokyo Tower."
