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

Chapter 141 Five Kage Summit

Sleipnir flew smoothly at an altitude of 10,000 meters, leaving the Japanese islands far behind.

Inside the cabin, Angers took out a bottle of tempting red wine from the refrigerator.

"Alright, my two-week trip to Japan has come to an end."

He gracefully unscrewed the cork with a bottle opener, making a light "pop" sound.

"Would you like to have a drink to celebrate?"

Fingel's gaze lingered on the bottle for a moment before he shook his head firmly.

Since that mission in the Greenland Sea, in which he made a grave mistake due to the numbing effect of alcohol, he vowed to quit drinking.

That regret and self-blame have not yet faded away.

Angers glanced at Fingel, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. He wanted to say a few words of comfort, but the words ultimately turned into a silent sigh.

Some scars can only be healed by time, and may never be completely erased in a lifetime. He himself has a deep understanding of this.

His gaze shifted to Cheng Sui, who also shook his head, showing no interest in the contents of his cup.

Angers pursed his lips, poured himself a glass, and the clear wine swirled gently in the crystal glass.

He gazed out the porthole at the shrinking Japanese landscape, the island nation that had just weathered an invisible storm, appearing small and distant beneath the clouds.

"Last night, I asked Ahe for all the surveillance footage about you."

Angers' nonchalant voice rang out in the quiet cabin.

Cheng Sui's heart skipped a beat.

coming.

His worst fears have finally come true.

If Angers were to question him about the origins of those ninjutsu techniques, how would he explain all this incomprehensible nonsense?

However, to Cheng Yi's surprise, Angers simply turned his head with an appreciative smile on his face.

"Not bad, worthy of being my student."

"When I was learning swordsmanship, those so-called sword masters would always tell me incessantly to be calm, to be selfless, and to abandon all distracting thoughts."

Angers' voice carried a hint of mockery.

"But you poured all your emotions into the knife, which added a youthful spirit that others don't have."

"Every strike you make is like an attack on fate, an attempt to shatter all the injustices in this world."

Angers' gaze deepened, as if he could see his past self through the passage of time.

"I'm too old for that kind of spirit, while you're still very young."

Cheng Sui was somewhat taken aback; he had never expected Angers to suddenly say such a thing.

On the other side, Fingel shrewdly moved to the other sofa, picked up a magazine to cover his face, and pretended that he hadn't heard anything.

"The school board meeting this year is probably going to be held at the end of next month." Angers took a sip of red wine. "Would you like to come with me?"

His tone was so casual, as if he were inviting Cheng Sui to an ordinary dinner party.

Almost the instant Angers finished speaking, a system notification appeared in Cheng Sui's eyes.

The Third Hokage has decided to groom you as his successor, wants to help you expand your social network, and has invited you to participate in the Five Kage Summit as a Hokage bodyguard.

[Mission: Accept the Third Hokage's invitation.]

[Mission Reward: Will be awarded based on the host's performance at the Five Kage Summit.]

Cheng Sui's expression remained unchanged, but inwardly he was already ranting and raving.

Five Shadows Summit?

He wanted to see how the system would allocate the five Kage seats to the seven board members of Kassel College.

Hopefully, the system won't crash due to logical inconsistencies and overload.

"Sure," Cheng Sui replied calmly. "But in what capacity does the principal intend to take me to the board of directors?"

"Of course, as my successor," Angers said matter-of-factly.

"Those old guys in the Secret Service can't expect me, a centenarian, to do everything myself."

Cheng Sui joked, "When you were sweeping through the Japanese branch, you didn't look like a centenarian at all."

"Old people sometimes have a moment of lucidity before they die," Angers shrugged dismissively.

During a break in the conversation, Cheng Sui suddenly remembered something else.

"By the way, Principal, now that this mission is over, I'd like to go to the capital."

Angers raised his eyebrows slightly, revealing a hint of doubt: "What are you going to the capital for? I don't think your hometown is there."

Cheng Sui picked up the bottle of red wine on the table, poured some into his empty glass, and then raised his glass to Angers.

The wine glass reflected a mesmerizing light under the lamp.

"What you just told me, Principal: Never let anyone else know what you're thinking."

Angers was taken aback for a moment, then burst into hearty laughter, his chest heaving violently.

"Hahaha, good lad!"

He raised his glass, lightly touched it to Cheng Sui's in mid-air, and then drank it all in one gulp.

"Alright, I agree. You can go directly to Schneider to get your executive bureau credentials; he'll arrange everything for you."

"Then my remaining classes—" Cheng Sui hinted at just the right moment.

"Full marks."

Angers waved his hand, displaying his boundless pride.

Fingel, who had been eavesdropping the whole time, suddenly appeared again, his face plastered with a fawning smile.

"And what about me, Principal? And what about me?"

Angers glanced at him sideways and slowly said, "Our classmate Fingel, I don't think I saw you anywhere during the days when Cheng Sui was being hunted down by the entire Japanese branch."

Fingel's smile froze on his face, and he slumped down, walking away silently like a defeated dog scolded by its owner.

Cheng Sui watched Fingel's retreating figure without saying anything more.

He recalled that at Meiji Shrine, Genji had mentioned fighting a strange man wearing a KFC mask before he met him.

At that time, Cheng Sui knew that Fingel had been secretly helping him in his own way.

He kept this kindness in his heart.

He also knew that Fingel was destined to repeat a grade this year.

Because both Angers and he were waiting for the boy destined for them to enroll in school.

He would repay Fingel for all the help he had received someday.

Once I'm done with my recent tasks, I'll take him to the Greenland Sea again.

Cheng Sui snapped out of his thoughts and threw out another piece of information.

"By the way, I met a really good ramen chef in Japan before, he was an old man. He said he knew you, Principal."

Angers raised an eyebrow; in his memory, there seemed to be no such person.

"He said his surname was Uesugi." Cheng Sui recalled for a moment, as if this was the only key piece of information he knew.

"Uesugi?"

Angers' expression instantly changed to one of sudden realization.

"So it was him. I haven't been in touch with him for many years. I always thought he had died somewhere, but I never expected him to still be alive."

"Who is he?" Cheng Sui asked curiously.

Angers' expression turned somewhat serious, even carrying a hint of reminiscence.

"The Shadow King of the Snake Clan".

"He possesses the noblest bloodline and is a true born emperor. Even Genjiro is no match for him."

His name is Uesugi Koshi.

Cheng Sui silently memorized the name.

A person whom Angers described as a "born king" is no ordinary person.

The atmosphere inside the cabin became somewhat somber because of the name.

However, the next second, Angers suddenly blinked and a mischievous smile, like that of an old man, appeared on his face.

"However, when he was young, I once beat him so badly that he was lying on the ground crying and begging for his mother."

Cheng Sui's lips twitched slightly.

He gained a deeper understanding of the principal Angers' perverse sense of humor.
