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

Chapter 95 Kaguya Otsutsuki

"Truly impressive for a young man; the younger generation is indeed formidable."

Tachibana Masamune stared at the unconscious Fuma Kotaro in the corridor, his expression unchanged.

Cheng Sui shrugged noncommittally. "Tell me what you plan to do."

"Chisuke, you may leave now," Tachibana Masamune said calmly. "I know you've never liked these kinds of occasions. The reason I called you here today was to let you get used to the environment of a family meeting beforehand, but something unexpected has happened. You may leave now."

Genji nodded silently, picked up his twin swords, and prepared to leave.

"Oh, right." Cheng Sui winked at Yuan Zhisheng, her tone light and cheerful, "After we were done, we had a drink, and I discovered some interesting little secrets."

As he said this, Cheng Sui used the reflection in the teacup to observe Tachibana Masamune's expression.

On the surface, it was an invitation to Genjiro, but in reality, Cheng Sui was testing Tachibana Masamune's reaction.

Otherwise, given his personality, if he wanted to tell Genjiro a secret, he wouldn't need to wait until another day; he would have just told Genjiro directly now.

The problem is that if he tells Genjiro about his brother's secret in the Oni Clan now, he won't be able to use this to test Tachibana Masamune later.

Cheng Sui keenly noticed the fleeting shadow in Tachibana Masamune's eyes after hearing his words.

Now Cheng Sui was almost certain that the patriarch of the Snake Clan must have some connection with the Fierce Ghost Clan, and might even be a high-ranking member of the Fierce Ghost Clan.

The fact that the patriarch of the Snake Clan has connections with the Demon Clan is so absurd that no one would believe it. It's practically a joke that Captain America is actually the leader of Hydra.

Upon hearing Cheng Sui's words, Yuan Zhisheng paused slightly in his act of getting up, gave a somewhat forced smile, and nodded in agreement.

"Why are you making that sour face?" Cheng Sui pouted. "I'm here to confront the Snake Clan, not to break off our friendship. Remember what I told you? Don't let power become something that binds you."

"I think you should really learn from this. There's an undergraduate in our college named Caesar. His family background is similar to yours, but he lives a much more carefree life than you."

Yuan Zhisheng did not answer, but simply nodded slightly, got up and walked towards the door.

"Childish."

Genjiro turned around and saw Tachibana Masamune's smiling face. In his memory, his father often smiled at him like that, and this smile reminded Genjiro of a father figure.

"You've worked hard," Tachibana Masamune said softly.

Genji quietly looked up, waved to the crowd with his back to them, and left without saying a word.

Cheng Sui took a sip of tea and said casually, "I didn't expect your words to be so powerful. I bet Yuan Zhisheng must have secretly watched Meteor Garden, and even learned the trick of looking up to stop the tears from falling."

Tachibana Masamune remained silent. He couldn't understand how this boy, who was so ruthless and cruel as a demon when he killed people, could suddenly start spouting nonsense whenever he had free time.

Cheng Sui clicked his tongue and said, "I thought he was going for the cold-blooded gangster young master look. Young people still need to mature."

"Chiki is a sensitive child," Tachibana Masamune suppressed his distracting thoughts and revealed a kind and gratified smile. "This is his weakness, but it will also give him great strength."

"Come on, I've never heard of emotions enhancing dragon blood." Cheng Sui interrupted Tachibana Masamune.

"His name isn't Uchiha Chisei. Pain and anger won't elevate him; they'll only lead him astray. Don't you think he's pretty much like a brat?"

Tachibana Masamune didn't know what the Uchiha were, but the second half of Cheng Sui's words made him re-evaluate this young man.

With top-notch strength, courage, and temperament, where did Angers find such a genius? Even the young master of the Gattuso family, who was raised as the leader of the Secret Society from childhood, probably couldn't reach this level.

It's truly enviable!

A dark, venomous emotion flickered within Tachibana Masamune, yet his face remained impassive: "So many people throughout history have unleashed extraordinary power in dire circumstances. Does Cheng Sui-kun simply dismiss the power of emotions?"

Do you even believe what you're saying?

Cheng Sui looked at Tachibana Masamune, "I just advised him to take control of his power, and you immediately used so-called family ties to bind him. What is he to you, a useful knife that you're afraid of losing control of?"

"Chishin-ta————"

"Alright, stop with this nonsense. My patience is running out. Just tell me your plan, or we'll start fighting right here."

Cheng Sui spoke in a relaxed tone, as if fighting against all of Japan alone was nothing unusual for him.

Just as Tachibana Masamune was about to speak, he suddenly choked on his breath.

A terrifying aura erupted from Cheng Sui!

The boy's body was slightly flushed, and a faint layer of red energy appeared on his skin. A violent and ominous aura enveloped the entire Japanese-style room as if it were a tangible presence.

Tachibana Masamune felt as if an invisible hand was gripping his heart; death had never seemed so close.

The reason he felt comfortable letting Yuan Zhisheng leave was that he believed Cheng Sui was a decisive and rational person who would not do something as foolish as killing the other side's leader at the negotiating table.

But now Tachibana Masamune is starting to panic. Cheng Sui's sudden surge of tyrannical energy is more than just a desire to kill him; you could even believe Cheng Sui wants to eat people.

The reason Cheng Sui suddenly opened all eight gates and the Nine-Tails' chakra was certainly not because of Tachibana Masamune.

This approach is like using a cannon to kill a mosquito; if Cheng Sui really wanted to kill Tachibana Masamune, he wouldn't even bother activating his Sharingan.

The reason Cheng Sui was able to go into full power instantly was due to a system notification.

【warn! 】

[Kaguya Otsutsuki has awakened near the host. Please move away from the current location immediately and ensure your safety.]

[Mission: Survive]

[Mission Reward: Kill All Ash Bones]

The moment Cheng Sui saw the system notification, he went into full combat alert mode. This was the first time the system had used red font to warn him.

Who is this so-called Kaguya Otsutsuki?

With a "pop," a cloud of smoke rose, and a grass sword identical to Sasuke's appeared in Cheng Sui's hand.

Just as Cheng Sui was about to smash the window and leave, the system notification popped up again.

[System detected an unexpected event; Kaguya Otsutsuki has disappeared.]

[Task Cancelled]

Cheng Sui was somewhat taken aback. This was the first time the system had encountered a task detection error. According to the system's usual style, the task target was always bound to a person in reality. How could a judgment error occur?

While pondering the system's anomaly, Cheng Sui slowly suppressed his aura, deactivated the Eight Gates and Tailed Beast Transformation, and only then did he notice Tachibana Masamune, who was drenched in cold sweat beside him.

Cheng Sui scratched his head sheepishly and laughed, "Sorry, I couldn't control myself for a moment."

"But I didn't expect you to be so afraid of dying."
