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

Chapter 76 The Power of Words. Royal Authority

Ruri Kazama stood quietly on the edge of the roof of a nearby building, the night breeze ruffling the stray hairs on his forehead.

Through the broken French windows, he stared at Cheng Sui's back, his beautiful eyes devoid of any emotion.

With his fingertips lightly tapping the hilt of his cherry-red longsword, Kazama Ruri hesitated whether to make a move. At this distance, he was confident that he could descend from the sky and behead this headquarters specialist with a single strike.

Just as he hesitated, a black Hummer sped through the night.

Ruri Kazama's gaze swept across the driver's seat and suddenly fixed on that familiar yet unfamiliar face.

The tapping motion on the hilt came to an abrupt halt, and his slender fingers trembled slightly uncontrollably.

His gaze was fixed on Yuan Zhisheng, his eyes filled with a venomous hatred and a deep sorrow that surged and alternated like waves, as if two opposing consciousnesses were fiercely vying for dominance within this thin body.

"That's enough!"

He let out a low shout, forcibly suppressing the trembling in his body, his five fingers firmly gripping the hilt of the knife again, his eyes regaining their coldness.

"Brother, we will meet again." He turned around, but then paused and looked back, his murmur fading into the night wind. "The next time we meet, it will be when swords are drawn."

"Boss!" Sakura and Crow exclaimed excitedly, quickly scrambling into the Hummer SUV under the cover of the smoke grenades.

"Senior, it's a shame you're not a ruthless bandit with that outfit." Cheng Sui grabbed Fingel, shielding his eyes from the choking smoke with his sleeve, and said loudly, "I'll guard the back, you go to the passenger seat."

"But--"

"No buts, I'm the team leader this time, listen to me."

Fingal had no choice but to get off the truck and give the cargo compartment to Cheng Sui.

Yuan Zhisheng frowned, took off his black trench coat, and threw it to Cheng Sui.

Two ancient swords were hidden under the trench coat.

"Your knife is too cheap, use mine." Genji lit a Gentle Seven Stars cigarette and held it to his lips. "Hold on tight, I don't know how long we'll have to deal with these guys."

Before he finished speaking, he slammed on the gas, and the Hummer roared out of the smoke, aggressively cutting into the street.

Cheng Sui gathered chakra at the soles of his feet, standing firmly in the cargo compartment like a rock.

He put on the trench coat, the hem fluttering in the wind, the alluring ukiyo-e print on the lining seemed to come alive, and the face of the demon girl Momiji appeared even more eerie in the wind.

With a surge of power, Cheng Sui drew Yuan Zhisheng's sword, the two ancient blades gleaming with a cold, azure light.

The right sword is named Dojigiri, with the inscription "Dojigiri Yasutsuna". It is a refining weapon made by Yasutsuna, a swordsmith from Hōki Province. Minamoto no Yorimitsu used this sword to kill Shuten-dōji, who had fallen into the life of a dead servant, hence the name Dojigiri.

The left-hand sword is named Spider Cutter, and its inscription reads "The Night of the Spider Mountain's Ferocious Exorcism," which was given to it by Minamoto no Yorimitsu, the ancestor of the Snake-Ghost Eight Families, after he killed the Tsuchigumo.

Cheng Sui lightly swung his sword, the long blade slicing through the night sky and emitting a clear, melodious hum.

The police officers noticed the target had escaped and immediately mobilized the officers who were still able to move to give chase to the black Hummer.

"Boss, is it really okay to leave Cheng Sui alone in the back? Should we let him in?" Crow looked at Cheng Sui, who was standing with a knife drawn, through the back window, somewhat worried. "Those police officers are armed, we can just squeeze in."

Yuan Zhisheng glanced at the rearview mirror. In the mirror, Cheng Sui stood tall and straight like a pine tree, his clothes fluttering in the wind.

"Trust him," he said in a deep voice. "If the situation becomes critical, I will exercise royal authority, and Sakura will take over piloting."

"Yes," Sakura replied.

Crow took a grenade from the car and threw it out; the explosion sent flames shooting into the sky. "The key issue is that this Hummer isn't bulletproof. If no one's outside holding it up, bullets will quickly turn this SUV into a sieve!"

"You bunch of scoundrels, so you were betraying my junior?!" Fingel was about to peek out and fire when a hail of bullets forced him back into the car. "Are Japanese police really this ineffective? Why do you all act so emboldened? Where are we supposed to go now?"

Yaksha roared and unleashed a barrage of fire from his submachine gun: "I'm not trying to frame him! Besides the boss, he's the only one qualified to stand outside!"

"Then why don't you let your boss out?!"

"You'll know once you witness the boss's Word of Power!" Crow threw a few more grenades, a smug smile on his face. "What are you so smug about? My junior is taking the bullets outside, so where are we going?" Fingel grabbed Crow by the collar.

"Tokyo," Genjiro floored the accelerator, "that's our territory."

Cheng Sui swung his sword, deflecting a bullet that was aimed at him, and couldn't help but frown.

More and more police cars were chasing them, and more and more police cars were merging into the main road from the side road. Some police cars had already accelerated and approached the black Hummer.

Not only that, but some onlookers, eager for a good spectacle, kept taking photos of themselves with their phones, probably thinking they'd be on the front page of Japan's three major newspapers by tomorrow morning.

His original intention in coming to Japan was to intimidate people of mixed Japanese descent, but now he's become a notorious criminal who intimidates the Japanese police and the public.

As the encirclement tightened, Cheng Sui knew he couldn't just sit and wait for his doom.

He did something that shocked everyone: he jumped off the speeding train carriage!

With hands forming a mudra, a piercing shriek suddenly tore through the night sky, like a thousand birds singing in unison!

Dazzling lightning gathered in his palm.

With the speed boost from Chidori, his figure was even faster than a Hummer speeding at high speed.

Lightning flashed like a sharp blade, tearing apart the police car beside them. The metal body was easily pierced as if it were made of paper!

Without pausing, Cheng Sui grabbed a spare can of gasoline from the Hummer's cargo compartment and tossed it into the air.

The Spider Cutter's blade traced a cold arc, a flash of gleam, and the oil drum was sliced ​​in two.

Thick gasoline rained down, creating a shimmering curtain of oil in the air before splashing onto the wide asphalt road.

Cheng Sui formed a hand seal with one hand.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

A massive fireball of astonishing diameter erupted from his mouth, sweeping forward with the force to incinerate everything!

Wherever the fireball passed, the asphalt road surface instantly softened, bubbled, and made a sizzling sound.

The gasoline spilled on the ground ignited instantly, and with a whoosh, a wall of flames several meters high rose up. The scorching heat rippled outwards, turning the dark night sky a fiery red and completely blocking the pursuit route of the police cars behind.

"Holy crap, isn't your junior's Word Spirit Setsuna?" Crow adjusted his glasses, dumbfounded. "Tell me what this fireball is. Did he study at a circus?"

"If a circus can breathe fire of this scale, then I think clowns could be classified as controlled weapons." Fingel was equally bewildered, only then realizing that he had never known what Cheng Sui's Word of Power was.

The wall of fire temporarily blocked his view, and Cheng Sui just breathed a sigh of relief. Before the lightning of the Thousand Birds had completely dissipated, his pupils suddenly contracted as a sharp shriek that ripped through the air approached at a speed far beyond his imagination!

A rocket, trailing a fiery exhaust, hurtled towards them and arrived in an instant!

It was too late to form hand seals.

Just as Cheng Sui was preparing to refine the Hashirama cells to their ultimate level at all costs to withstand this attack, Genjiro appeared beside him without anyone noticing.

Ancient language flowed from his mouth.

He recited faster and faster, his voice booming like an ancient bell. A domain was forming, an incomparably powerful domain slowly expanding, its boundaries glowing faintly.

The asphalt road surface is constantly cracking, which indicates that an astonishing weight is pressing on the ground. But what kind of weight can crack an asphalt road surface? A few tons? Or several tons?

The rocket that was launched suddenly plummeted at a 90-degree angle the instant it touched the area!

In the dead of night, an explosion that shook the night sky resounded through the streets of Mitaka City. Shop windows and car windows along the street were shattered by the massive shockwave. Pedestrians screamed, crouched down, and watched in terror as thick smoke rose from the street.

"Damn it, who gave you permission to use this weapon? What if civilians get hurt?" the garrison captain roared at his teammate who had fired without authorization.

But then the anger turned into fear. The team member slowly turned around, but the face was not anyone the captain recognized. Instead, it was a pale and terrifying nobleman's mask, with a crimson mouth that was strangely raised, revealing black teeth.
