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

Chapter 123 Word Power. Judgment

Erii finished the last bite of curry rice and wiped her mouth with a napkin.

She held up the little notebook she never parted with, her face filled with undisguised anticipation.

"let's go!"

Cheng nodded.

Erii naturally took Cheng Sui's hand, feeling the warm, soft touch of Cheng Sui's palm. She seemed to have completely gotten used to this intimate distance between them.

The two walked out of the coffee shop side by side, but Cheng Sui's uneasy feeling grew stronger.

Whether it was Tokyo Tower before or Shibuya this time.

It always felt like someone had foreseen their whereabouts.

It was as if there were an invisible eye, always watching them from the shadows and constantly revealing their location.

"Long legs, are you even capable? Why hasn't that underworld heir you mentioned shown up yet?"

Su Enxi's somewhat indistinct voice came through the headset, accompanied by the crisp sound of potato chips being chewed.

Mai Shude was leisurely lying in a high-end beauty salon, with an expensive caviar mask on her face. Through the huge floor-to-ceiling window, her gaze was precisely locked on the coffee shop across the street.

She said casually, "How would I know why he hasn't shown up yet? Maybe he's stuck in traffic or his car broke down."

"Hey, can you be a little more reliable, long legs? If the boss finds out you're slacking off like this, he'll definitely dock your bonus again," Su Enxi complained over the earpiece.

"If you saw with your own eyes a killer who could run faster than the Shinkansen and whose only thought was to save his girl, you would also want to give up."

Mai Shude's tone was surprisingly relaxed, even a little teasing.

"Unless the boss comes in person, I really can't think of any way to stop him."

"Then why did you bother to lure that gangster's son here? Do you think he can beat that little tiger?"

Su Enxi chewed on potato chips and asked in confusion.

"You wouldn't understand," Mai adjusted her face mask to allow the essence to be absorbed better. "That young master is that girl's brother."

"Please, this girl has run away from home with some random guy and they're even sharing a room together. What good do you think it would be to bring her brother here now?" Su Enxi rolled her eyes.

Mai picked up a glass of red wine, swirled it gently, and watched Cheng Sui and Erii leave the coffee shop, a meaningful smile playing on her lips.

"Just wait and see. We'll see whether it's useful or not when the time comes."

"The young master and the little tiger will definitely fight when they meet."

"Then it will be up to our Miss Puppet to choose family or a love that knows no bounds."

O

A light drizzle began to fall from the sky without anyone noticing.

Erii stretched out her hand and raised it above her head, trying to block the continuous rain with her palm.

Cheng Sui opened a black umbrella. In the hazy rain, the umbrella's surface resembled a crow's outstretched wings, completely sheltering Erii's petite figure beneath it.

Erii ran to the other side and hugged Cheng Sui's other arm.

The streets of Shibuya were still crowded with people. Despite everything she had been through, Erii still had an instinctive fear of such dense crowds.

Upon reaching the subway station exit, Cheng Sui stopped in his tracks.

This place is now under tight control by a group of uniformed people. Everyone who wants to leave must undergo detailed photo comparison and identity verification.

"The police say they're hunting down an important fugitive." Erii tilted her head back, holding up her notebook, and translated what she heard in Japanese to Cheng Sui. "Are they here to arrest us?"

Cheng Sui nodded. Those so-called "police officers" were just members of the Snake Clan in disguise.

Erii blinked, her crimson pupils reflecting the surrounding crowd.

"But there are so many of them, is our journey going to end here?"

Cheng Sui bent down and gently patted Erii's head, his movements gentle yet firm.

Our journey may end someday.

"But not today, and certainly not because of these people."

Erii nodded emphatically, then held up a small notebook with a line of neat handwriting on it.

"I believe in Naruto."

Cheng Sui pulled Erii along and turned to walk towards a side exit that was not yet completely blocked off.

Erii followed closely behind him, cautiously looking around.

Cheng Sui suddenly stopped walking.

Before Erii could react, her small nose bumped into his solid back.

She curiously peeked out from behind Cheng Sui, and the sight before her made the girl's beautiful scarlet eyes narrow instantly.

The once crowded streets of Shibuya have now been mostly cleared out.

In the drizzling rain, a figure stood quietly across the road, gazing at them from afar.

The source is childish.

His trench coat was tattered, and he had several unhealed wounds on his face, making him look disheveled.

But those pure gold eyes remained as majestic as ever, shining like two dazzling xenon lamps in the gloomy rain.

He had just finished his fight with that KFC weirdo.

Halfway through their fight, the KFC weirdo suddenly shouted something like "The new game promotion is about to begin," and then ran away without looking back.

Concerned for Erii's safety, Genjiro did not pursue her but instead rushed to Shibuya Street immediately.

The rain gradually intensified.

The torrential rain poured down from the clouds, like a heavy curtain slowly being drawn back before the start of a grand stage play.

The main characters of this play are undoubtedly Cheng Sui and Yuan Zhisheng.

The two stood facing each other across a zebra crossing.

The traffic light at the intersection was on green.

Members of the Snake Clan had quietly surrounded them, forming an impenetrable encirclement.

Cheng Sui handed the umbrella in his hand to Erii, who looked worried, and then turned around and took a step forward, letting the rain soak him.

With a flick of his right hand, a cloud of white mist burst open, and a slender grass sword was summoned by spirit.

Cheng Sui pointed the tip of his sword at the ground, and rainwater slid down the sharp blade, dripping onto the wet asphalt road.

"I never expected our first confrontation to be under these circumstances." Genji's voice was deep, piercing through the sound of the pouring rain. "You should also be aware of Erii's bloodline issues. Sending her back to the Snake-Headed Eight Clan now is the best outcome for her."

"Sizzle!"

A blinding flash of lightning suddenly illuminated the blade of the Kusanagi sword, and the shrill cry of the chirping birds instantly drowned out the sound of the rain.

Cheng Sui merely swung his longsword lightly, and the sharp lightning left a pale trail in the air.

"I'm sorry, I promised Erii that our journey would never end at this moment."

Yuan Zhisheng said no more.

He slowly raised his hand and grasped the Spider Cutter at his waist.

Just then, the traffic light at the intersection silently turned from green to red.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment.

The next second, the two of them moved at the same time!

But Cheng Sui's speed was clearly much faster.

The dense rain was instantly shattered into white mist by his terrifying speed, leaving clear white afterimages behind him.

To the surrounding members of the Snake Clan, they couldn't even make out Cheng Sui's figure.

A bolt of lightning tore through the rain like a flash of lightning.

When he came to his senses, Cheng Sui had already crossed dozens of meters and appeared in front of Yuan Zhisheng. The long sword in his hand, wrapped with violent lightning, slashed down with tremendous force!

Erii unconsciously clenched her fists around the black umbrella.

She didn't want to see Cheng Sui and her brother fight, especially not because of her.

Faced with this swift and unavoidable strike, Genji could only hastily draw his Spider Cutter and parry.

"clang!"

A deafening clang of metal striking metal echoed throughout the streets of Shibuya!

To Genjiro's disbelief, his prized sword, Spider Cutter, was ripped open with a gruesome gash the instant it came into contact with the lightning-sparkled longsword!

The opening is still expanding at a visible rate.

Finally, with a crisp, mournful cry, Spider Cutter was cut in two by Cheng Sui's blade!

The grass sword continued its momentum, its sharp lightning bolts heading straight for Genjiro's chest.

But Cheng Sui ultimately maintained a sense of propriety.

The instant the Kusanagi sword severed the spider cleaver, he had already flipped the sharp blade, turning the broad back of the blade towards Genjiro.

Just moments before the lightning-covered back of the blade was about to strike Genjiro's chest.

Yuan Zhisheng and Cheng Sui both heard a girl's voice at the same time.

The sound wasn't loud, but it clearly pierced through the wind and rain, reaching everyone's ears.

"don't want!"

Erii gripped the black umbrella tightly and shouted in the direction of the two.

As soon as the girl uttered those words, an incredibly powerful domain was instantly formed.

The surrounding raindrops were forcibly stopped by an invisible force, and they just floated quietly in mid-air.

Time and space seemed to freeze at this moment.

Cheng Sui and Yuan Zhisheng were also suspended at the same time.

Cheng Sui's blade was less than an inch away from Yuan Zhisheng's chest.

Yuan Zhisheng and Cheng Sui both turned their gazes to the girl holding the black umbrella.

Both of them had expressions of astonishment, but the reasons for their astonishment were completely different.

Genjiro did so because Erii once again lost control and unleashed the Word of Judgment.

Cheng Sui was surprised that Erii could speak; he had always thought Erii was mute.

Moreover, a red system notification popped up in Cheng Sui's eyes.
