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

After leaving the Lionheart Society's headquarters, Cheng Sui stretched and yawned, enjoying the bright sunshine at Kassel College.

After yawning, Cheng Sui decided to go back to his dorm and take a nap.

I wonder if Sanjay has returned from his internship.

However, after walking only a few steps, a familiar feeling of being watched followed him like a shadow.

That familiar paparazzi scent... How did Fingel manage to stick to me so precisely the moment I returned to the academy?

But Cheng Sui didn't rush to find Fingel; instead, he silently activated his Chakra Perception Technique.

The principle of Chakra Sensing Technique is to obtain information by sensing changes in the chakra of others or in the environment.

Combined with the special talents of the Uzumaki clan, this perception range can be extended to more than ten kilometers. When developed to its extreme, it becomes the unique Kagura Mind's Eye of the Uzumaki clan.

On the plane back to Chicago, Cheng had thought about using Chakra Sensing Technique on Bloodline Sensing.

The principle of Chakra Sensing Technique is actually somewhat similar to Blood Ties, but the difference is that the former senses the fluctuations of chakra, while Blood Ties senses the resonance of bloodlines.

Recalling the unique feeling of releasing the Blood Ties in his mind, Cheng Sui tried to transform his perception into the fluctuations of dragon blood.

Consciousness spread out slowly all around, like a fine net.

This transformation wasn't as difficult as Cheng Sui had imagined, because dragon blood is a much more volatile energy than chakra. If the fluctuations of chakra are like a pebble falling into a pond, then the energy fluctuations of dragon blood are like setting off firecrackers in the pond.

In an instant, a blurry energy distribution map seemed to unfold in his mind. Within a radius of a hundred meters, bright or dim points of light could be vaguely discerned, representing hybrids of different bloodline strengths.

This is different from the "spiritual vision" connection of the Blood Ties; it is more like a radar scan based on the strength of energy.

However, the radius of this "map" is still very small, only about 100 meters. Further development is needed to expand this "map".

Cheng Sui exerted force with his feet, and his figure instantly swept across the short distance like a ghost, accurately reaching into the bushes, grabbing a collar that was trying to pull back, and pulling it out forcefully!

"Ouch! Junior, take it easy! It's me! It's me! Friendly fire!" Fingel was dragged to the road, grimacing, with a few leaves still hanging in his hair, looking utterly disheveled.

Cheng Sui released his grip and silently looked at Fingel.

Fingel got up, brushed the fallen leaves from his hair, dusted off his clothes, walked over to Cheng Sui, rubbed his hands together, and said with a fawning smile, "Oh my, junior, it's been so long, you still look as dashing as ever. You even managed to spot me... bumping into your senior."

Cheng Sui subconsciously took a half step back, avoiding the subtle smell that might be there.

Looking the burly man, nearly 1.9 meters tall, yet stubbornly adopting the posture of a timid wife, Cheng Sui's lips twitched slightly.

"Enough with the small talk, why are you following me? You didn't bring a camera this time either, did you?"

Fingel clutched his chest, a look of utter heartbreak on his face: "I came to greet you out of kindness, but you think I took these photos without my consent. It really hurts me."

"Oh, thank you. Goodbye." Cheng Sui turned to leave.

"Hey, junior." Fingel grabbed Cheng Sui's hand.

Cheng Sui dodged Fingel's hand as he tried to grab her, crossing her arms: "I never thought that Fingel, the school's infamous paparazzi leader, the king of studying abroad, and the notorious head of the news department, would have something he wouldn't dare to say."

"Haha, junior, you flatter me. It's all just empty praise." Fingel scratched his head, completely oblivious to the sarcasm. "Junior, aren't you going to Japan later, you know, that..."

Cheng glanced sideways at Fingel, waiting for him to continue speaking.

Fingel, fidgeting with his burly body, said shyly after a long pause, "Look, I've been delaying my graduation for so long, and the Executive Department won't take me for an internship. I can't find an internship either. If I can't find a high-profile internship project soon, I might have to delay my graduation again next year."

Cheng Sui understood: "So this was all a scheme against me? By the way, how did you know I had another solo mission coming up?"

Fingel grinned slyly: "Junior, you know what I mean. The News Department definitely has some special information channels. When you go to Japan, it's a dangerous place. Don't underestimate me just because I'm not like this. I used to be a top-tier A-level student. I can definitely help you."

Just as Cheng Sui was about to speak, the system suddenly popped up a task.

[Mattkai congratulates you on successfully completing the mission, but is also worried about potential problems on your next mission. He strongly requests to join your team and be your strongest support.]

[Task: Approve Might Guy's application to join the team]

[Reward for completing the mission: The Fifth Gate of the Eight Gates Formation - Gate of Blockage]

Cheng Sui's heart stirred slightly, but his expression remained unchanged.

The Gate of Closure! Starting from the fifth gate, the power of the Eight Gates will enter a completely new level, with a huge increase, but also a corresponding price. This reward is undoubtedly extremely tempting.

"Alright, I'll make the suggestion to Principal Angers later, but I can't guarantee whether he'll agree."

[Mission Completed: Might Guy's application to join the team has been approved]

[Reward for completing the mission: The Fifth Gate of the Eight Gates Formation - Gate of Blockage]

Fingel grasped Cheng Sui's hand, as if to give Cheng Sui a bear hug: "Junior, you really are my junior."

Cheng Sui pushed Fingel away with a look of disgust. Although he was not a germaphobe, he really did not want to have close contact with Fingel's shirt, which he hadn't washed for who knows how many days.

"Has anything major happened at the academy lately?" Cheng Sui asked, having not paid attention to the Night Watchers forum for the past few days.

Finger immediately became interested when this was mentioned.

"You probably already know about Caesar and Nono, so I won't go into details. Another important matter is Chu Zihang's performance in the war practice class."

Fingel clicked his tongue: "He was a real killer. He went in with a knife and killed three B-level dangerous hybrids. Jun Yan burned half of the stadium to the ground. The news department had to stay up for two nights to clean up his mess and suppress the public opinion."

"So what was the final explanation?" Cheng Sui asked curiously.

"A short circuit in the stadium's electrical system, combined with the flammable foam filling the building, ultimately led to half of the stadium being burned down."

Cheng remained silent, expressing his admiration for the news department's public relations capabilities; it truly was one of the world's top public relations teams.

Fingel tapped his head, as if he had just thought of something, and lowered his voice, saying mysteriously, "However, the Executive Department seems to be quite busy these days, sending a lot of people to surround Brooklyn. It seems that a dangerous mixed-race group has suddenly appeared there, and the Executive Department is investigating this group."

Cheng Sui nodded; these matters were temporarily irrelevant to him. His primary task now was to digest what he had learned and develop new abilities to build up his strength for his trip to Japan.

"By the way, junior brother, there's something else very important." Fingel said with a serious expression.

"Hmm?" Cheng Sui asked, puzzled.

"Senior, I've run out of living expenses. Junior, could you sponsor my food expenses for half a month?"

Cheng Suili ignored Fen Gou and went back to her dormitory without looking back.

"Hey, junior, don't go! What am I going to do for the next two weeks if you leave!"

Fingel's mournful cries echoed behind him.
