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

Chapter 99 The Ramen Uncle's Daughter?

Cheng Sui's gaze lingered on the girl for a moment before quickly shifting away.

It wasn't because Cheng Sui was the kind of little boy who was afraid to make eye contact with girls.

It was simply inconvenient to look closely at the girl in front of me because of her condition.

She was completely soaked, and her thin white shrine maiden clothes clung tightly to her skin with the rain, outlining her youthful yet already exquisite curves, and even the outline of her underwear was faintly visible.

During your mission, you encounter Ayame, the daughter of Ichiraku Rascal, and learn that she is being hunted by ninjas from another country. As her childhood friend, you decide to step forward and protect her from harm.

[Task: Protect the calamus for seven days]

[Mission Reward: Flying Thunder God Technique (Basic Version, only allows for self-teleportation)]

Cheng Sui's eyes, which had been turned to one side to avoid suspicion, suddenly turned back twice as fast as before.

This is the first time that the system-issued reward has nothing to do with the bound character, and it's even a heaven-defying ninjutsu like the Flying Thunder God Technique.

In the later stages of the Fourth Shinobi World War, it's hard to say whether Naruto and Sasuke could have won without the help of Tobirama Senju and Minato Namikaze, who dominated the battlefield with their Flying Thunder God Technique.

But what the heck is "childhood sweetheart"? I've never even met this girl. Can the system please stop assigning me these inexplicable identities?

[System Prompt: This system operates in accordance with basic laws and has not forcibly altered the host's identity or background. Please be mindful of your words and avoid defamation.]

This book was first published on 2020s.com, providing you with a reading experience free of errors and disordered chapters.

The system notification popped up immediately, leaving Cheng Sui speechless for a moment.

"Why is the reward the Flying Thunder God Technique? What does this have to do with irises?"

How could you be late when your beloved girl is in danger? Flying Thunder God Technique is the fastest way. I hope you'll never be absent when your girl needs you.

Cheng Sui: "???"

Good grief, what do you mean by "my beloved girl"? System, you're not only forcibly forcing a character setting on me, but also arranging a marriage for me, aren't you?

And why does it feel like the system is implying something?

However, the girl looks a bit dazed. Could it be that the intimidating ramen shop owner didn't keep a close eye on his daughter and let her sneak out?

Hmm—no wonder she's a mixed-race person with high blood purity, she's really vigorous despite her age. Cheng Sui estimated that this girl was only about twenty years old, probably even younger than himself.

The ramen vendor looked to be in his seventies or eighties, so if we calculate it that way...

An old steed in its stall may still aspire to gallop a thousand miles; a hero, though old, still cherishes lofty ambitions.

Cheng Sui couldn't help but feel a bit more awe towards the ramen vendor.

Cheng Sui composed himself and glanced at the girl again. His immediate priority was to figure out how to legitimately abduct her.

After all, she looked like a grown woman, so she couldn't be fooled by his words alone. Besides, there were many people around, and an older woman was watching nearby, so Cheng Sui couldn't just make a move.

The cashier was staring at Cheng Sui with a look that was a mixture of disdain and wariness.

She had initially thought the young man who bought the Ultraman umbrella was quite interesting, but it turned out he was just a lecherous man who couldn't resist pretty girls.

Cheng Sui felt that gaze, his brows furrowed slightly, and suddenly an idea came to him.

He recalled the few Japanese phrases that Principal Angers had "taught him everything he knew" before he left, cleared his throat, and tentatively spoke in the direction of the middle-aged woman: "Hey, old lady."

On the plane, he asked Angers what he meant by that, and the old man just winked mischievously, saying that this phrase was surprisingly effective at provoking middle-aged women and could create opportunities for them to be alone at crucial moments.

As expected, the cashier lady's face instantly changed color upon hearing this, her eyes widened in anger, and all her attention was drawn to her. She was about to start scolding her.

It's now!

A flash of crimson light appeared in Cheng Sui's eyes, and his three-tomoe Sharingan instantly opened and closed.

Caught off guard, the woman met the strange gaze and felt an invisible mental shock crash into her mind. Before she could even utter a sound, everything went black, and her body went limp and she fell backward.

Cheng Sui reacted quickly, stepping forward to support the woman's unconscious body and gently placing her on a chair nearby, making her appear as if she were overworked and slumped over the cash register.

At this moment, only he and the girl in the red-haired shrine maiden outfit remained in the convenience store.

Erii tilted her head, watching Cheng Sui's series of actions with a blank expression. Her clear, crystal-like crimson eyes remained devoid of any emotional fluctuation.

Cheng Sui felt a little guilty under her gaze, coughed lightly, and pointed to the girl's still wet hair: "It must be uncomfortable to have wet hair, do you want to blow-dry it?"

After saying this, Cheng Sui realized how stupid he had been, because he had spoken in Chinese, and it was no wonder the girl couldn't understand him.

Cheng Sui's Indian roommate, Sanjay, once told him during a late-night chat that a guy as eloquent as him must be very popular with girls, and Cheng Sui didn't deny it at the time.

But in front of this girl who looked as wooden as a doll, Cheng Sui suddenly didn't know what to say.

However, to his surprise, Erii's empty eyes flickered almost imperceptibly the moment she heard the Chinese.

She showed neither panic nor doubt, but simply looked at Cheng Sui quietly and then nodded gently.

Immediately afterwards, she walked over to the small plastic stools for guests to rest on, sat down properly, placed her hands flat on her knees, and waited quietly for Cheng Sui to serve her.

Cheng Sui paused for a moment, then tentatively asked, "You—understand Chinese?"

The girl remained seated upright, and nodded again upon hearing this, her movement subtle yet firm.

Although he was a little puzzled as to why the girl could understand Chinese, Cheng Sui quickly realized what was going on.

He found a corded hair dryer in the convenience store and walked up behind the girl.

"Buzzing"

The hair dryer started running, emitting a monotonous noise.

Cheng Sui first tested the wind force and temperature with his palm. After finding it to be just right, he carefully lifted the girl's soaked long hair and began to gently blow on it.

Come to think of it, this was the first time in his two lifetimes combined that he had ever blow-dried a girl's hair.

The girl's hair was of excellent quality; when wet, it was as smooth as dark red silk, and the strands flowed between his fingers, giving him a cool touch.

A faint, clean scent, similar to sandalwood, wafted from the girl's hair and entered his nostrils.

However, such long hair definitely needs to be washed again after getting wet in the rain. The reason for drying it now is just to prevent the girl from catching a cold.

But Cheng Sui quickly realized an important problem: the system's mission was to protect the girl for seven days.

The definition of protection is very broad; the system doesn't specify how to protect or whether close-fitting protection is required.

If it's a close-fitting protective suit, what should a girl do when she takes a shower by herself?

Just as Cheng Sui's thoughts wandered off course, Erii was sitting upright in a chair, feeling the warm and gentle breeze coming from above her head, and the strange touch of that large hand occasionally brushing through her hair.

She loves taking baths and sometimes takes them several times a day.

But having my hair dried like this was an experience I'd never had before.

Her head was spinning from the warm air, a kind of indescribable, cozy feeling that gave her a strange sense of peace.

Outside, the rain was still pouring down, relentlessly washing over the entire world.

Inside the convenience store, however, was a warm little world, secluded from the outside world, with only the constant buzzing of the hair dryer.

Erii suddenly realized that this person could speak Chinese, so could it be that he knew Naruto? Erii clearly remembered that Naruto had said he was coming to Japan.

Cheng Sui focused intently on grooming her dark red hair, which gradually became fluffy and dry, regaining its original luster.

But the only dry thing on the girl's body was her hair.

The exquisitely crafted shrine maiden's outfit was still soaking wet, clinging to her body and dripping water droplets. A small puddle had almost formed next to her wooden clogs.

The convenience store clearly didn't have any suitable clothes for her to change into. It seemed the only option was to take her to a nearby shopping mall to buy a new outfit.

As for whether going to shopping malls will increase the risk of exposure, thus making the protection task more difficult.

Cheng Sui was confident in this. As long as the other side did not use large-scale firearms, even if there were hundreds or thousands of mixed-race people attacking, he was confident that he could protect the girl.

Cheng took an unopened mask from the shelf, put it on neatly, and slightly covered his face. He remembered that he was still wanted by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

He was about to speak, to test whether the girl would be willing to go to the mall with him, when he saw Erii, who had been sitting quietly, suddenly raise a small notebook she had been holding, turn to a certain page, and hand it to him.

On the notebook was a sentence written in neat and beautiful Chinese characters: "Do you know Naruto?"

(PS: (*3) Thank you for reading. I wasn't satisfied with the previous chapter, so I revised it a lot, from 2000 words to 2600 words, but the subscription fee is still 2000. I hope you are satisfied.)
