I'm in the Dragon Clan, bound to the Naruto Counterattack System
Chapter 58 Reception
Just as the atmosphere between the two sides was tense, a lazy voice suddenly came from behind Cheng Sui:
"Oh my, I'm finally here! My back and waist are killing me from sitting so long..."
Fingel stretched and scratched his butt as he sauntered out of the cabin, with sauce still smeared on the corner of his mouth.
His appearance instantly made the atmosphere at the scene strange.
Just like in Akira Kurosawa's sword films, two masters are holding their breath, pressing their hands on their sword hilts, searching for the moment when the other has an opening, ready to strike with lightning speed and take the other's life.
But then a clown with a colorful wig and a red nose appears between them, tossing colorful balls in his hand, with gravy from the pork knuckle still on his lips, and giving you a bright smile.
Damn it, shouldn't the clown have red lipstick on? And what's this pork knuckle sauce?
But Fingel, completely oblivious to the atmosphere, raised an eyebrow and said, "Wow, such a big fuss, junior, you're really something."
Cheng Sui ignored Fingel and stared intently at the old man in the black haori in front of him.
Although the system is often unreliable, it shouldn't mistake an old man for Uchiha Obito.
Who is the person who wants to kill me?
Since Obito already exists, who is Kakashi?
Just as he was pondering, a bouquet of flowers was suddenly handed to him.
「日本へようこそ!(Welcome to Japan)」
A tall, slender girl in a sailor uniform holds flowers in both hands, her smile sweet and flawless. The well-tailored outfit perfectly accentuates her curves without appearing frivolous.
"Thank you." Cheng Sui smiled, his gaze lingering on the girl's face for a moment.
The girl's smile remained unchanged as she politely nodded to Fingel behind Cheng Sui.
Fingel quickly wiped his hands on his pants and went up to shake her hand.
The girl led the way, and Fingel sneakily sidled up to Cheng Sui: "Junior, you don't have a crush on her, do you? You were staring at her so intently just now."
"It just looks a little familiar," Cheng Sui said in a low voice.
"I get it, I get it, 'I've seen this girl before,' that's how your ancestors used to flirt." Fingel had an expression that said, "Men don't need to say anything more."
Inuyama He noticed the dark red longsword at Cheng Sui's waist. As Onimaru Kunitsuna's master for decades, he recognized it at a glance as a replica of his beloved sword.
Was it sent by Angers? What does that mean...?
Behind the elderly man, two rows of beautiful young women lined the path to greet him.
These are all Inuyama He's goddaughters, socialites cultivated by the Inuyama family. They are placed in various industries and can be seen in the top social circles of all walks of life in Japan. They will generate tremendous power when the Inuyama family needs them.
Faced with this alluring scene of flowers gathered together, the two's reaction was somewhat unexpected by Inuyama He.
Cheng Sui, who was leading the group, glanced briefly at the girls lining the street to welcome them. But the seemingly unreliable, burly man behind him ignored the girls and walked straight ahead without looking at them.
"Senior, these girls are just as good as the student council's armed ballet troupe. It seems the Japanese branch also likes to do that Caesar thing," Cheng Sui whispered.
"I thought you were lingering on the Japanese girls because you were attracted by their beautiful legs."
"I'm not interested in a girl who can pull out a gun from under her skirt and shoot me at any time. That kind of crazy girl is Caesar's type. But you, senior, why are you staring straight ahead?" Cheng Sui noticed Fingel's expression.
"I call this pure love, you wouldn't understand," Fingel said with an air of righteousness.
While the two were spouting nonsense, the girl in the lead had already brought Cheng Sui to Inuyama He.
"Mr. Cheng, I've been waiting for you for a long time." The old man stretched out his aged hand.
"Thank you for your hard work." Cheng Sui reached out and shook hands with the old man, but his words sounded like a leader comforting a subordinate, because he really didn't know who the old man was. Judging from his appearance, he should be a high-ranking figure in the Snake Clan.
Inuyama He exerted a slight pressure on his palm, feeling the strength beneath the boy's slender, fair hand, only to find that this strength was as steady as the sea, unfathomable.
"I am Inuyama He, the head of the Inuyama family." Inuyama He's expression remained unchanged.
As these words were spoken, Cheng Sui sensed a slight change in the old man's demeanor, which now exuded the aura of someone who had long held a high position.
"Cheng Sui, an undergraduate student at Kassel College," Cheng Sui introduced himself.
"Fingal is also an undergraduate student," Fingel added, standing behind Cheng Sui.
"How's Principal Angers' private jet? He must be exhausted from the trip from Chicago to Tokyo." Inuyama He smiled, his usual yakuza boss aura gone, now resembling a kind old man concerned for his juniors.
"Thank you for your concern, Head of the Inuyama family. You know that the principal is a person who enjoys life. The resting environment on the private jet is quite good, and he is still in good spirits."
"Is there anything you'd like to do in Japan? Japan's tourism industry has developed quite well in recent years, attracting many people from other countries. Just make yourself at home here. If there's anything you want to go or eat, just let us know. Our Inuyama family is very confident in our hospitality."
There's no such thing as someone wanting to kill you before you even arrive at your "own home."
"I don't know much about Japan either, so I'll leave everything to the Inuyama family head," Cheng said with a smile.
Although Angers had sent Cheng Sui to intimidate the Japanese mixed-race, he couldn't very well refuse them since they were making such a grand entrance to greet him.
Inuyama He smiled and put his arm around Cheng Sui's arm, like a grandfather and grandson who hadn't seen each other for many years. This action made the Inuyama family executives around him twitch their eyebrows slightly.
[During your mission, you encounter Orochimaru. As someone valued by the Third Hokage, Orochimaru is very interested in you. As a Konoha ninja, it is your duty to capture Konoha's rogue ninja.]
[Mission: Defeat Orochimaru]
[Quest Completion Reward: Kusanagi Sword]
Cheng Sui frowned. When he first arrived in Japan, he encountered Obito and Orochimaru. Was Japan some kind of gathering place for villains?
"Does Cheng-kun not like being touched by others?" Inuyama He noticed the change in Cheng Sui's expression and released his grip at the right moment.
Cheng Sui smiled again and explained, "I'm a little airsick, and I'm still not used to the ground."
"It's alright. The Inuyama family has prepared a sumptuous breakfast and has also prepared shiitake mushroom and kelp tea to relieve motion sickness."
"Thank you for your trouble, Head of the Inuyama family," Cheng said, then changed the subject, "I heard that Principal Angers has students at the Japanese branch?"
Inuyama He chuckled: "Every year, the main family sends elites to the headquarters for exchanges. Strictly speaking, we are all the principal's students."
"They weren't students in the traditional sense, more like a master and apprentice relationship, and there might even be some grudges between them."
After Cheng finished speaking, he noticed a subtle change in the old man's expression.
Wait, could you be Orochimaru?
(PS: Regarding the setting, the protagonist has only seen Dragon 1 and Dragon 2 and is completely unaware of the subsequent plot. The author has mentioned this before, and some readers may not have noticed, so I am clarifying it here.)
