Naruto: I get stronger by drawing lots

After Orochimaru finished speaking in one breath, Tsunade was completely speechless.

"So, who exactly is this guy? When will the monster lurking among the people finally reveal itself?"

Orochimaru was very interested. Although he was also annoyed by these self-destructing guys, there was no doubt that the person who developed this thing was a genius.

Tsunade, however, was not interested. On the contrary, she really wanted to beat up the person who had researched this weird thing, and not just once, but to beat them to death.

"The water is here."

Tsunade and Orochimaru were talking, and the sounds around them continued.

This is a temporary shelter in the hospital. It's probably not as good as the shelters outside, and it's not underground, but it's still relatively safe.

Now everyone in the hospital has gathered here. The medical team acted quickly, with everyone mobilized, and directly concentrated all the patients, big and small, here. Of course, they did not harm or worsen the injuries on the other side.

The people are now in this shelter, which is basically sealed off, with only the air being refreshed from somewhere.

"Keep a close eye on them."

Orochimaru shrugged, said no more, and went to the side to stay quietly.

"Anyway, reinforcements will come eventually. Let's focus our efforts here for now. They probably don't even know where this place is, and even if they did, they probably wouldn't be able to get in."

Orochimaru leaned against the wall and began to close his eyes for a short nap.

It's not just for rest, but also for reflection.

Orochimaru was lost in his own thoughts.

Tsunade, however, was unable to remain so calm.

Orochimaru's words pierced her heart.

These humanoid, non-human creatures, transformed from humans, lay before her, searching outside for living people to eat.

This was already troublesome enough, but Orochimaru's words just now directly indicated that there would be others like that among them, but nothing had happened yet.

This place is where everyone in the hospital has gathered, not just ninjas, but also unarmed civilians, bedridden patients, and their worried families.

Now, an unknown knife hangs over their heads, ready to fall at any moment, but who knows who it will hit.

Tsunade clenched her fists.

She was really angry.

Whether you're using human lives for research or for amusement, that's fine.

To desecrate life, to toy with life.

For medical ninjas, this type of person is the most hated.

"Lady Tsunade—"

Shizune was resting on the side. She had used up too much chakra, and coupled with the mental shock, it was already quite remarkable that she could remain conscious.

Unfortunately, she couldn't help Tsunade share the burden.

Whether it's strength, ability, or anything else, she has no right to help her master share the burden, let alone in her current state. What difference is there between her and an ordinary person?

Shizune bit her lip, feeling very unwilling.

The hospital was quiet. Blood and bits of flesh were spilled on the floor. The air was filled with the sounds of slow footsteps and soft chewing.

This sound is very disturbing; just hearing it can send chills down your spine.

One by one, the "corpses" wandered aimlessly through the hospital.

Those who survived hid in shelters; the capable faced dangers that could come at any moment, while the less capable could only obediently follow orders.

Outside the village, the war raged on fiercely, the Nine-Tails' tail waving, bringing both destruction and salvation.

"Grandma Mito!"

The battle here finally ended. The red-haired woman could no longer hold on and collapsed on the spot.

The Nine-Tails has also consciously returned to its body, relinquishing control of the body to its original owner.

Is it over?

"I think I heard Kushina's voice. Is that girl alright?"

Looking at the no longer dark sky and feeling the warmth on her body, Mito smiled with relief, even though she no longer had the strength to put on a smile.

"Mito-na-na-na."

Suddenly feeling a wet sensation on her face, Mito's blurred vision revealed only a figure appearing in the sky.

That was a red that matched the sky perfectly.

Mito can only see this right now.

However, it doesn't matter if she can't see him; Mito knows who is in front of her.

"Silly girl, why are you crying?"

Mito wanted to reach out and touch the girl's head, just like he always did, but he couldn't.

The familiar chakra flowed into her body again, and Mito felt it; her old friend had given her strength once more.

The orange fox lay quietly to one side, but its chakra was transmitted to Mito.

With this chakra, Mito managed to move a little during her last moment of lucidity.

"My Kushina isn't a crybaby, she's the school's hottest red pepper."

Both hands, one hand completely ruined, blood and flesh flying everywhere, extremely gruesome, the other hand also nearly ruined, stained red, but it doesn't matter, Mito can no longer feel pain.

She couldn't move her completely broken hand, so she could only tremble as she used her other hand to stroke the red spot in front of her.

It's a pity that Mito can't feel Kushina's warmth; she can't even see her, so how can she feel anything?

Her hearing function was intermittent, and half of her ears were useless. Blood could be seen coming out of her ears, and Mito could only hear intermittent sounds.

Kushina's cries could be heard intermittently, each one resonating deep within Mito's heart.

"Hey."

Mito tried her best to speak, but she didn't know if she could make a sound. She tried her best to speak.

"Kushina, your grandma will have to leave you for a little while."

"no, do not want--"

"Don't—leave—me—"

Mito was relieved to hear that the information was incomplete; at least she had managed to convey it.

"Don't cry, or you'll turn into a little kitten. How can a blood-red chili pepper shed tears?"

"No—I—don't—have—chili peppers—"

"I only—Kushin—".

If Mito closed one eye, half of the world's scenery would be lost.

"The rest is up to you."

"Kushina."

"Take good care of yourself, take good care of yourself—"

Survive

His aged lips moved, but his last words could no longer be uttered.

Her strength rapidly drained away, and Mito's hand fell limp.

"Kyuu, you should get along well with Kushina."

"cut."

In her final moments, the red-haired woman spoke a few words to the person who had been with her the longest in her spiritual world.

Please take good care of Kushina, little hero.

Mito recalled those days, when Kushina spoke of the opposite sex for the first time, when Kushina acted like a little girl for the first time, when Kushina—

How much like I was back then!

"Your hair is so beautiful."

A voice came from behind her, and Mito laughed, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes.

The aged person travels against the current of time and slowly transforms back into that young and beautiful girl.

There, her hero resides—

Chapter 92: Unfinished

boom!

Rumble!

"Interesting. It seems they don't intend to waste time with us; they've started right away."

Inside the hospital, people were unaware that the battle outside had ended and continued to remain there in fear.

Tsunade was still on guard against the possibility of "beastmen" appearing at any moment.

"Beastmen" refers to those who eat people and absorb chakra. They were indeed human, but that was in the past. Now they are more like a type of beast that commits all kinds of evil.

But the other party had no intention of doing that.

Suddenly the hospital started shaking. Orochimaru licked his lips, and Tsunade began to realize what was happening.

"Everyone gathered together, and the people in the middle used defensive ninjutsu."

Tsunade quickly realized this and immediately began issuing orders.

The continuous explosions were probably caused by those "orcs".

Although the reason is unknown, it is obvious that this commotion is caused by their continuous self-destruction.

The self-destruction itself isn't the problem; the issue is that it happens too frequently, and the power is considerable.

With such a massive number of patients, the hospital would undoubtedly collapse.

This is not some earthquake-resistant building on Earth; it wouldn't collapse even if there was a magnitude 12 earthquake causing landslides and ground fissures.
