Chapter 189: Shippuden - Rock Lee

On the other side- 

Selene, who was seriously injured, fell into a brief coma due to excessive blood loss, with both herself and the car plunging into the river.

In the end, with Michael's efforts, using the pistol to shatter the car window, pulled the unconscious Selene onto the bank, and gave her some simple wound dressing. 

However, he also fell unconscious due to being bitten by the werewolf.

When Selene woke up and saw the wound on her shoulder, she glanced at the unconscious Michael and knew that he had saved her life.

Without further hesitation, Selene directly carried Michael. She had to return to the castle before daybreak.

On the other side-

The gathering place of the werewolves-

Raze led Iruka and the others to the armory.

They saw a wall covered with all sorts of firearms, from handguns to assault rifles, all of which had been modified, with bullets equipped with ultraviolet radiation.

"You can choose whatever weapons you like," Raze said, showcasing the array of firearms and boxes of bullets laying everywhere.

Iruka, however, interrupted, "We don't need any weapons right now."

"First, tell us about the characteristics of the vampires and their strength."

Seeing Iruka asking this question, Raze did not refuse and began to explain.

"The vampires are a long-lived species with a long life, which is the same as us werewolves."

"They fear sunlight and ultraviolet radiation. Short exposure to sunlight can cause extensive burns, but their recovery is also fast."

"Only with prolonged exposure to sunlight all over the body will they die directly."

"At the same time, they are powerful, agile, and have a very fast recovery rate. By sucking the opponent's blood, they can obtain the opponent's memories."

"At the same time, being bitten by them will also turn one into a vampire."

Upon hearing that being bitten would turn them into vampires, the expressions of Iruka and the others became slightly solemn. 

Although this could prolong their lives, no one wanted to become something that could not appear during the day.

At this moment, Iruka asked calmly, "What about being bitten by a werewolf?"

Raze grinned and then said, "Of course, being bitten by a werewolf will also transform one into a werewolf on the full moon night."

"But werewolves are not afraid of sunlight."

Iruka then took out the silver bullets found in the subway station and placed them in front of Raze, saying, "But you are afraid of silver."

Seeing the silver bullets in Iruka's hand, Raze did not deny it but nodded in agreement, saying, "That's right. Although werewolves are not afraid of sunlight, they are afraid of silver weapons."

Iruka pondered for a moment and then asked, "If we don't use ultraviolet radiation bullets, can ordinary weapons kill vampires?"

"What is the scale of the vampire community, and what is the highest level of their combat power?"

Upon hearing Iruka's questions, Raze pondered for a moment and then said, "If you don't use specially designed weapons against vampires, you need to decapitate them to effectively kill them."

"After all, their recovery ability is strong, and ordinary wounds will heal on their own in a short time."

"As for the scale of the vampires, I am not sure, but just the people gathered at the enemy's castle alone exceed a hundred, not to mention the vampires spread throughout the city."

"But the enemy will not launch a full-scale attack. The attacking force may consist of dozens of people, or even more, but we also have a considerable number of people."

"As for the enemy's strength, the vampires you saw at the subway station last time are the main force of the vampires and some of the are the most powerful beings among them."

"Unless they are elder-level vampires, they shouldn't be your opponents."

"As for the strength of the elders, I haven't seen it, but I know they are very powerful."

Listening to the words of the other side, Iruka nodded. After asking some more questions about vampires, he ended the conversation.

Mainly, Raze didn't know much, and there were many things Iruka asked that he couldn't answer. As for the information and history of the werewolves, Raze was evasive and wouldn't tell him everything.

As for the firearms provided by the other side, apart from Iruka taking a pistol for research, the other three did not choose these weapons. They trusted more in their own abilities and ninjutsu.

In this way, Iruka's team began to learn about the entire gathering place of the werewolves under the guidance of Raze, as well as where would be suitable for the enemy's attack and where would be suitable for defense.

The next day- 

Charles woke up in the Charles Agency in New York City. After rubbing his eyes, he found himself in the system space.

Check-in!

Ding! Check-in successful, rewarded with 300 ninja pearls!

Charles collected the ninja pearls and opened the ninja store to browse.

Uchiha Itachi fragments: 520 gold coins

Kisame fragments: 300 gold coins

Haku fragments: 180 gold coins

Shipudden Rock Lee fragments: 80 gold coins

Seeing the four ninjas listed in the store, Charles was taken aback, especially at the price of 520 gold coins for Itachi, which made him hesitate.

It was too expensive. If ten-consecutive draws could yield more fragments, buying Itachi's fragments would be a loss. 

After some thought, Charles decided not to purchase Itachi's fragments. He was, however, quite interested in the appearance of Rock Lee, who had already become a Chunin.

At 80 gold coins per fragment, it was truly cheap. Without hesitation, Charles made a full purchase, spending 320 gold coins to acquire 4 fragments.

He then glanced at the fragments of the B-rank ninja Haku and the A-rank ninja Kisame.

After some consideration, Charles decided to buy the Kisame fragments as well.

He spent another 1200 gold coins and obtained 4 Kisame fragments.

Charles then left the system store and opened the mission hall.

He noticed that the mission given by Hydra had already been completed, so he immediately chose to claim the rewards.

Ding! Mission completed, rewarded with 500 reputation points, 50,000 copper coins, and 1 normal treasure chest.

Charles also saw an additional A-level mission in the mission hall submitted by Team Iruka.

"It seems they have made significant gains over there."

Knowing that A-level missions were hard to come by, it seemed they had encountered someone with formidable strength.

Without lingering too long in the mission hall, Charles exited the system space.

After getting up and freshening up, Charles had some food downstairs before returning to his room and opening the computer to review the files sent by Iruka.

Looking at the six photos sent, Charles downloaded them one by one. First were two photos of vampire corpses.

After taking a look, Charles realized that they did not match the memories of the vampires he had, so he continued to flip through.
