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

"I still feel something is off. After those bandits gathered me in the Pharaoh's tomb, they didn't do anything. They just made us squat in place."

Inside the hotel, Cheng Sui glanced at his cards and gave up on calling for the landlord in this round.

Because of the hijacking by bandits, Cheng and his group were delayed inside the pyramids for quite some time. When they rushed back to the hotel, they found that their flight was delayed and had no choice but to change to a flight for the next morning.

So Cheng and the other two played Dou Dizhu (a card game) in the room, while Professor Mans made a phone call on the balcony, seemingly about something that happened in the Three Gorges area.

"It's really strange. It feels like it came here specifically to delay us. I don't want to be the landlord either." Ye Sheng looked at the cards in his hand, clicked his tongue, and gave up on calling for the landlord. "Speaking of which, junior brother, you went too far. You were like a killer."

He tacitly refrained from mentioning Cheng Sui's strange method of plunging the tomb into darkness, and neither Jiu Deyaji nor Professor Mans inquired about Cheng Sui's unusual abilities.

This is a tacit understanding.

Cheng Sui shrugged: "Don't talk nonsense. The only one of those robbers who died was shot by his own comrade. The others might have been saved if they were lucky. I held back."

Just then, a system notification popped up indicating that the task was complete.

Mission Completed: Clear out all ronin hijacking the caravan.

[Quest Completion Rewards: Illusion Technique: Mirror of Truth, Chakra Sensing Technique]

Well, it seems Egypt's medical standards aren't very good; they couldn't save a single one.

It's definitely not that I hit too hard.

"Call the landlord." Aki revealed the landlord's cards: two 2s and an Ace, a good hand.

"Aki, how come you're so lucky every time?" Ye Sheng wailed. He already had more than a dozen strips of cloth stuck to his face. His luck was terrible tonight.

"Alright, kids, I have to go right now. It seems they've discovered something new over at the Three Gorges. We need to discuss the exploration plan with the Water Resources Bureau again. As the person in charge of this operation, I have to go back." Professor Mans returned from the balcony and began packing his luggage.

Ye Sheng slammed his cards on the table: "Professor, are you going back so soon?"

"Yes, there's a flight to China tonight. Ye Sheng, this mission is yours. Someone will meet you in Asvin. The contact's name is Ahmed."

Professor Mans left those words behind, picked up his suitcase, and hurriedly departed.

Cheng and the other two looked at each other in bewilderment.

"I've already thrown all my cards away, how about we play the next round?" Ye Sheng asked hesitantly.

……

The next morning, Cheng and his group went to the airport and boarded a plane to Aswan.

On the plane, Cheng Sui asked knowingly, "Professor Mans, why did you leave so suddenly? Is there something important at the Three Gorges?"

"Although I really want to tell you, this is an SSS-level mission, and the academy requires strict confidentiality."

Cheng Sui didn't press the matter further. He lay back in his seat, staring blankly at the winding Nile River on the ground, processing the reward he had received before boarding the plane.

Genjutsu: True Word Mirror and Chakra Sensing Technique are both ninjutsu that Kurenai Yuhi excels at.

The effect of the Truth Mirror is to bring the enemy into an illusion created by the user, bewildering their mind and making them answer any questions, thus achieving the effect of torture.

As for Chakra Sensing Technique, this should have been the Uzumaki clan's specialty. Karin Uzumaki and Naruto in the later part of the story were both skilled in this technique. However, Cheng Sui was only a half-baked guy, and no one told him how to develop this technique.

Now that he has received systematic memory infusion, Cheng Sui understands the principles of chakra perception. With some development, he might be able to unlock the Kagura Mind's Eye of the Uzumaki clan.

The Nile is the world's longest river and the lifeblood of Egypt, nurturing countless lives.

"Ramses II and his queen Nefertari loved to watch the sunrise together on the banks of the Nile, so Ramses II built the Abu Simbel temples on the banks of the Nile, and statues of him and his queen stand in front of the temples, always watching the sunset together," said Judeagi. "Therefore, in Egyptian legend, couples who watch the sunset together will receive their blessings and be happy for a lifetime."

Ye Sheng opened his mouth but didn't speak, only staring at Aki's back.

The plane soon arrived in Aswan. As soon as Cheng and his group got off the car, they saw an Egyptian man holding a sign.

The sign bore the crookedly drawn emblem of Kassel College, and the man wore a white robe, had dark brown skin, and a thick beard.

Ye Sheng walked up and shook hands with the man: "Ye Sheng, Specialist of the Execution Department, these two are Jiu Deya Ji and Cheng Sui."

The man gave a hearty laugh and took the initiative to carry everyone's luggage: "I've heard so much about you. I've long heard of the strongest duo in the Execution Department. My name is Ahmed, an A-level student from the class of 1980 at Kassel College."

Cheng Sui raised an eyebrow and looked at the enthusiastic middle-aged man in front of him again. He didn't expect that this unassuming person was actually an A-grade mixed-race.

Ahmed touched his slightly curly short hair and said with a smile, "Surprised, aren't you? Someone like me is actually an A-grade mixed-race. Actually, I had the opportunity to join the Executive Department back then, but I fell in love with a girl from Asvin. I wanted to watch the Nile sunset with her for the rest of my life, so I stayed here."

"I heard your child isn't in good health?" Cheng Sui asked.

"Sigh, my son was born prematurely and he's not even mixed race, so he's naturally not very healthy. His mother passed away early, and I can't take good care of him by myself."

Ahmed's eyes flashed with a hint of melancholy, but he quickly laughed it off: "By the way, why are you so late? I was initially told to come pick you up from the airport yesterday."

Ye Sheng gestured to Cheng Sui and Jiu Deya, then said, "We encountered some unexpected problems on the way, which delayed our flight."

"Maalesh!" Ahmed patted Ye Sheng on the shoulder and said with a smile, "In Egypt, it means 'It's okay.' It's what we say most often here. The desert is too unpredictable, and it's normal for plans to change."

Ahmed looked around, scratching his head in confusion. "Where's Professor Mans? Wasn't he supposed to be on this mission too?"

"The professor had to go back temporarily, so I'll be in charge of this mission," Ye Sheng explained.

"I see. I originally booked three rooms, but now that Professor Mans isn't here, it seems one room will be available. In that case, I'll have to give up my small hotel and stay at the five-star hotel with you." Ahmed gave a look that seemed to be both reluctant and welcoming.

Saketo Aki covered her mouth and chuckled. This uncle in front of her was quite interesting.

Ye Sheng was also infected by Ahmed, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.

Cheng Sui looked at Ahmed, who was scratching his head and grinning sheepishly, and felt that something was off.
