Yanshang Teahouse.
It appeared to be just an ordinary teahouse in Liyue Harbor, but in reality, it was one of Liyue's most important intelligence gathering locations.
Under the dim lights, a short-haired woman leaned back in a rattan chair, crossing her fair, long legs. One slender arm gently supported her head, while the other held a slip of paper. Her lazy gaze casually flickered over the paper in her hand.
With just a glance, she tossed the paper aside and picked up a new one from the table to continue reading.
Though the woman was merely quietly reading the papers, exuding a languid aura, the attendant, Chuyi, who stood silently nearby, dared not even breathe. For this person was her direct superior, the special intelligence officer directly under Tianquan Ningguang — Yelan.
Yelan's work lasted only about ten minutes. After finishing all the papers on the table, she slowly stood up and stretched, displaying her exquisite S-curve and smooth armpits without reservation. Illuminated by the moonlight outside the window, she resembled a blooming orchid.
"Chuyi, is this all the intelligence we have recently? It's too boring. Has nothing new happened in Liyue City? If not, I'll go check out The Chasm."
"Yelan, there's only this much for now. Liyue City is peaceful and prosperous; you should be happy."
"Peaceful and prosperous? Not necessarily. Snezhnaya's Northland Bank has already established itself in Liyue. Recently, many incidents have had financial backing from Northland Bank. I don't believe they have good intentions. Keep a close eye on them."
"Yes! Oh, Yelan, I just remembered something. Some time ago, Bubu Pharmacy's herb-gathering boy, Qiqi, brought back a severely injured young man. After being treated and recovering by Baizhu, he now works as a temporary herb gatherer at Bubu Pharmacy. The young man said he lost his memory after waking up, only remembering his name as Uchiha Mikage."
"Uchiha Mikage? What a mouthful. Is that style of name from Inazuma? I heard that country is currently enforcing the Sakoku Decree, and many people have escaped on small boats. However, with the turbulent waves and terrifying thunderstorms, barely one in ten survive.
Liyue has also seen more Inazuman figures recently. Didn't even Captain Beidou of the Alcor take in a Vision-wielder named Kaedehara Kazuha a while ago? What about this Uchiha Mikage? Does he have any extraordinary qualities? Is he also a Vision-wielder?"
"Not at all. However, that young man is very skilled. It's said that citizens witnessed him jump from a cliff dozens of meters high completely unharmed, and he can leap several meters high. Such skills, coupled with his unknown origins, make me worried that he might be an Inazuman operative."
"As far as I know, Inazuma has a profession called ninja, and the Clan Head Kamisato of the Yashiro Commission, one of Inazuma's three major powers, has a ninja squad called the Shuumatsuban. Their duties are quite similar to mine. Since that's the case, I'll go investigate his true nature.
By the way, have you found out where Qiqi picked him up from?"
"This... I don't know. As you know, that herb-gathering boy named Qiqi is a bit... difficult to communicate with. I'll go investigate immediately." As soon as she finished speaking, Chuyi quickly withdrew, and the room returned to silence.
Yelan looked out the window. Due to its high elevation, Yanshang Teahouse offered a clear view of the night sea. She gazed into the depths of the ocean, in the direction of Inazuma.
"Young man, Uchiha, Inazuma, amnesia, extraordinary skills... I hope your identity can pique my interest."
As the only large pharmacy and clinic in Liyue City, Bubu Pharmacy had doctors on night duty even in the evening. Of course, this was only for doctors; intern herb gatherers like Uchiha Mikage didn't need to be on duty. He was currently lying in his room in Bubu Pharmacy's backyard.
Clearly, the surname Uchiha would never appear in the world of allogene, unless he was a transmigrator.
Yuto was originally just a lazy otaku on Blue Star, but he was hit by a truck bound for another world, directly transporting him into the Naruto World, becoming an ordinary member of the Uchiha Clan.
For Yuto, a Naruto fan, this was a huge stroke of luck. With his understanding of all 720 episodes of Naruto, and the advantage of his foreknowledge, wouldn't he live a life of luxury in the Naruto World? Unless it was the Boruto era, that stuff is unwatchable, who would watch it?
Unfortunately, the idea was beautiful, but reality was cruel. Yuto transmigrated during the brutal Second Great Ninja War. Uchiha Mikage, having just graduated from the ninja academy, was forced to go to the battlefield, and then was mercilessly crushed by the war machine, leaving nothing but dust.
In his dying moments, Uchiha Mikage's last thought was: This isn't like the plots in those novels!!!
When he woke up again, Yuto found himself lying in an antique-style room, and he could smell a strong medicinal scent. His first reaction was: I might have been saved, but this place seems a bit different from the style of Konoha's hospital.
Just as Yuto was thinking this, a small loli wearing a purple hat suddenly appeared by his bed. A mysterious talisman was stuck on her forehead, and she timidly said to him: "You're awake. I, carried you back. I'll go get you, your medicine."
This highly recognizable attire, physique, and way of speaking made Yuto a little dazed. He shakily asked: "Qi... Qiqi?"
Qiqi, who was about to get his medicine, turned her head and asked: "Ah, you, know me?"
"Of course I know you. You were my first five-star character."
"Qiqi, doesn't understand. But, I'm sorry, I don't remember. I'll, write you down, next time, I won't forget." With that, Qiqi's figure disappeared outside the door. A moment later, Yuto heard footsteps completely different from Qiqi's.
Yuto looked out the door and immediately saw a man and a snake walking towards him. One had snake eyes and a human body, the other had human eyes and a snake body, which instantly made Yuto's scalp tingle. This wasn't his fault; you have to understand, he had just come from the Naruto World, and this scene naturally reminded him of Orochimaru, one of the Sannin.
"Haha, don't be afraid, my friend. Changsheng isn't anything scary. He's my partner. By the way, I'm Baizhu, the owner of Bubu Pharmacy."
"Thank you for saving me. My name is... my name is Uchiha Mikage."
"You're welcome. Healing the sick is a doctor's duty. Rather, you should thank Qiqi; he carried you back from the high mountains of Mt. Aocang. But I'm curious, why were you there?"
"I... I... I don't remember." Yuto scratched his head, looking distressed.
Baizhu stepped forward and performed various basic checks on Yuto. During the examination, Yuto watched the white snake named Changsheng stare intently at him, his entire body stiff as if petrified. The more he looked, the more he felt this snake was Orochimaru, how terrifying.
"Hmm, it might be due to severe injuries causing memory problems, but other aspects seem fine. You should rest well for now."
With that, Baizhu left, and Yuto was once again alone in the room. Yuto lay on the sickbed, his body relaxed, a subtle smile playing on his lips. The world of allogene feels pretty good too.
