Naruto: I get stronger by drawing lots

"go back."

Yue Shu's voice gradually grew stronger.

Minato Namikaze stopped in his tracks, as did Kushina and Mikoto behind him.

What are you saying?

"There's nothing we can do to help."

Although Minato Namikaze was somewhat unwilling, he understood the current situation.

Even if Yue Shu has considerable strength, she is probably stronger than the three of them combined.

Even if Yue Shu has the strength to provide support without being a burden, how much of his strength does he have left now?

Besides, he had already been blocked from accessing the road before.

How can you let Yue Shu bear so much on her own?

"Put me down, let's go back."

Tsukiki remained resolute, though her voice still carried a clear sense of weakness.

His body was stained red, and the blood had mostly dried. Yue Shu now looked like a blood-soaked figure, with even his hair covered in a clump, as if it had been dyed.

"why?"

Minato Namikaze put Tsukiki down, his head bowed. Kushina also gently put Mito down and spoke to Tsukiki.

"Why is it always like this? It's always just one person, always the one who runs ahead."

The red-haired girl's voice was very excited.

She was afraid, afraid that, like before, a bloodied, unconscious person would appear before her again. If Baiya hadn't rescued Yueshu in time this time, what would Yueshu have become?

With such a powerful enemy, is there really any chance to rescue Tsukiki?

After Kushina finished speaking, Minato Namikaze also showed a determined look in his eyes, as did Mikoto. Although the two did not speak, their eyes revealed their resolve.

The determination to never let Tsukiki do anything reckless again.

Tsukiki looked at the three of them, then at Mito, who had already closed her eyes.

After a moment of silence, Tsukiki began to speak.

"Who said I'm alone?"

The moon tree's eyes were shimmering, reflecting its wavering emotions.

Someone once said to me:

"People who don't follow the rules are useless, but people who don't cherish their partners are the worst of the worst."

Tsukiki reached into his ninja tool pouch behind him, pulled out a kunai, and threw it into the air.

An explosive tag was attached to a kunai and flew upwards with it.

"burst!"

All four looked up at the sky, following the kunai as it flew upwards.

"I would not hesitate to rely on my companions."

Yue Shu smiled. The three of them were still looking at him when, not long after, a series of deafening sounds gathered around.

The shouts grew louder and louder, and all four of them looked around.

The next instant, it was as if a layer of "dark clouds" had enveloped the surroundings.

"This is--"

Minato Namikaze stared at the surrounding scenery, momentarily stunned.

Not only him, but everyone else was the same, except for the smiling Tsukiki.

"See, I told you so."

The surrounding "dark clouds" revealed their true form: Konoha ninjas after the victory in the war. They surrounded them, and among those at the front were inevitably familiar faces.

Of the four, two are the most familiar to me.

Jiraiya and Tsunade.

The two walked over side by side, with Tsunade supporting Jiraiya and a handsome long-haired man beside them.

"Hey, Tsukiki, you're not dead, are you?"

Tsunade greeted them, in a simple and direct manner.

"Don't worry, it won't be that fast. But the lecherous immortal seems to be coming soon."

"Hahaha, this guy's internal organs have shifted from the beating, and he's even hallucinating. What a disgrace."

Tsunade and the others walked to Tsuki's side. Jiraiya chuckled twice. When he encountered Madara Uchiha, his fate was undeniably miserable. In the end, Madara even casually used a genjutsu on him, and embarrassingly, he couldn't handle it.

"Well done."

Tsunade reached out and ruffled Tsukiki's hair, her eyes glancing at Mito, who lay slumped to the side with her eyes closed.

A hint of sadness inadvertently flashed in her eyes, and her hands trembled.

Tsukiki also noticed it.

The woman in front of me, who looks mature and open-minded, actually suffers from hemophobia, and her own grandmother died right in front of her.

Although hemophobia was mostly overcome when he saved Tsukiki.

But in the end, it could not be eradicated. The woman in front of me, carrying her illness, struggled against the cruel hell, gazing upon the sights she feared most, and with trembling hands, pulled those who stepped inside back to the human world.

"You too."

Tsukiki did not resist and responded with a sentence that made Tsunade smile. At least the sadness that she could not show for the moment was washed away a lot.

"Everyone—why—"

Minato Namikaze muttered something to himself, and the next moment, Jiraiya touched his hair, along with Kushina and Mikoto.

"Because we are all ninjas of Konoha, that's all."

"No matter when, if the village is in danger, we will stand up without hesitation."

Jiraiya spoke each word carefully, and his words resonated in the hearts of all the Konoha ninja.

Tsunade and Jiraiya each embraced the two of them, tenderly holding the newborn shoots of Konoha in their arms.

"You did a great job!"

"Teachers, I am proud of you."

Jiraiya was unusually serious, though he was quite embarrassed himself.

"So, next—"

"It's time for us to strike back!"

Jiraiya stepped forward, looking every bit the leader—

"This is truly unexpected."

Kizuki smiled and licked her lips.

He was surrounded by hundreds or even thousands of Konoha ninjas in the darkness, while he only had himself and a few human bombs on his side.

Say it again.

Tsuki's voice was very loud, as if it had been enhanced with chakra.

"Member of the Otsutsuki clan, your actions have seriously violated the rights of Konoha. Surrender now."

"You all surprise me so much, no matter what."

Muyue seemed somewhat excited.

At this moment, both White Fang and the Third Generation stood beside Onoshi and Sand Needle.

The suicide bombers over there were all lying on the ground, like logs.

Kizuki glanced over here, then at Tsukiki, and finally smiled.

"Alright, let's call it a day. Bullying the weak with numbers is not the way of a gentleman."

"See you next time. Just leave the experimental materials here, I'll retrieve them when the time comes."

"Oh right, the power of the Divine Tree too! I'll figure this out properly, hahaha, this is really exciting."

Kizuki smiled and said goodbye on the spot, without the slightest panic, even though he was surrounded by a large number of Konoha ninja.

"See you all next time, I hope to see you again at a good time."

It's quite amazing how Kizuki disappeared.

Mu Yue slowly burrowed into the ground. During this time, many hidden weapons flew past, but the surrounding ground simply rose up to block them.

"Hahahahahaha."

Mu Yue's laughter echoed until the last figure sank completely into the earth, leaving only the maniacal laughter still reverberating.

The dawn shone down, illuminating everyone.

At this moment, the attack on Konoha truly came to an end.

Chapter 99: The Whirlpool Princess

"Master Ninja, thank you for your help here as well."

"no problem."

"Earth Escape——"

This is a scene of ruins, and the entire village is being mobilized.

The ninjas used ninjutsu to quickly and easily restore the village.

The villagers wouldn't sit idly by either. Having long been accustomed to living in peace and contentment, they couldn't stay idle. They all picked up wood and bricks and began rebuilding their homes.

The bloodstains remain, and so does the grief, but time never stops moving forward; the future is always moving closer to the present, and this has always been the case.

"Heave-ho, heave-ho, everyone, keep up the good work! We'll be eating right away!"
