Naruto: I get stronger by drawing lots

Tsukiki looked at Kushina in front of him, who was stretching out the chains that were emerging from her body and reaching towards him.

Kushina was training her unique skills, and Tsukiki was the object of her training.

The moon tree's question was answered by the chains, not with words, but with one silent chain after another reaching out.

These chains, brimming with chakra, are a formidable weapon. While their power is currently insufficient, they do not include Kushina, who begins practicing early in the morning. In the original story, Kushina was not this diligent, yet she still managed to restrain eight or nine tenths of the Nine-Tails at its peak using these chains.

Moreover, those were the chains Kushina wore when she was on the verge of death.

This demonstrates the strength of Kushina's chain binding and suppressing abilities.

If Kushina were to practice this skill, its potential would be limitless.

Of course, only the Moon Tree knows all this.

Easily dodging the slow and weak chains, Tsukiki began practicing with Kushina.

Even though my heart was still screaming that I wanted to sleep.

As dawn broke, Tsukiki and Kushina practiced, while lights began to illuminate other places.

It wasn't just Yue Shu and his companion; figures could be seen moving in the dim light in the training grounds within the Uchiha clan compound, or even in the groves outside Konoha.

All those who are unwilling to accept their fate, and all those who understand their own weakness, will start moving forward again after recognizing their own weakness.

"drink!"

Kushina shouted, and the number of chains she extended increased considerably, but unfortunately, they were still of little use to Tsukiki.

At that moment, Tsunade passed by, glanced at it sideways, and then looked away.

It was already getting light; she should take Jingyin to the hospital to help.

There are still many patients and wounded waiting for them.

"Fire escape!"

"Spiral pills!"

"Diamond Seal!"

Jiraiya's team has announced a hiatus from activities. The announcement was personally made by Jiraiya, indicating that it's time for him to take some time off.

The members of Jiraiya's team were all well aware of the situation and began their own training journeys.

People never stop moving forward; every single one of them does.

Knowing the harsh realities ahead will make us more determined to take those steps.

An enemy they'd never heard of before, with a mysterious objective—all of this was closing in on them.

At this moment, the four little ones are not afraid; they will only forge ahead, no matter what lies ahead.

Because people never stop moving forward; this applies to everyone, including the four members of the Moon Tree group.

Chapter 102: The Hatake Family

There was a knock at the door, and White Tooth walked over unhurriedly.

Upon opening the door, there was no one in sight at eye level.

Looking down, White Tooth saw a familiar old friend.

"Oh my, little guy, it's been quite a while since I've seen you."

Bai Ya smiled, and the person standing outside the door was Yue Shu.

This is a famous genius in Konoha who is comparable to the First Hokage.

White Fang hasn't seen him since the attack on Konoha a year ago.

Jiraiya's team stopped their activities, and his students stayed in Konoha. Jiraiya, however, couldn't stay idle and often wandered around, which was his usual routine.

"Hey."

Yue Shu sighed, looking quite helpless. Bai Ya smiled and gestured for them to come in.

Tsukiki hadn't been to Shiroya's house in a long time, and he was surprised to find that it had changed quite a bit.

The interior, which was originally quite simple, has now become much warmer and cleaner.

"You're trying to avoid that girl from the Uzumaki family, aren't you?"

White Fang looked at Moon Tree with a smile and voiced his guess.

Tsukiki looked at him with a "how did you know?" expression, which made Shiroya burst into laughter.

During this period, the four members of Jiraiya's team have basically not shown their faces. When they do, it's only for a moment or two. The villagers may not know, but White Fang, as a high-ranking member, does.

The orphans of the Uzumaki clan, who were taken in by Lady Mito, have now been brought to the Senju residence by Tsunade. Although the specifics are unknown, this is the information that is known.

"Sumao, have we had guests over?"

Moon Tree and White Fang walked towards the courtyard. They usually liked to sit in the corridor, which was better than being cooped up in the living room.

The next moment, a woman's voice startled Yue Shu.

"Oh?"

A woman appeared before Yue Shu. She had long, black hair that reached her waist and looked very gentle.

Moreover, she has a very obvious characteristic:

Her belly was protruding, and it was quite large.

"Oh my, whose little one is this?"

Perhaps because she was about to become a mother, the woman in front of Yue Shu suddenly showed maternal instincts when she looked at Yue Shu.

"Cough cough."

"This is my friend, Himegami Tsukiki, the most powerful genius in Konoha right now."

White Tooth seemed incredulous at what he said.

His face and hair color usually made him seem unapproachable, but at this moment, Bai Ya's eyes and words were filled with endless tenderness.

His demeanor was completely different from when he held a knife.

"It's you! You're amazing."

"My name is Nozomi Mano."

"Hmm—Su Mao's wife—"

"Hey!"

Mano Nozomi glanced at Shiroya with a playful look, and Shiroya, such a man, actually blushed slightly, which was simply a rare sight.

""

Tsukiki didn't know what to say. In just a short time, his old friend already had a beautiful wife, and she was none other than White Fang, that straight man of steel.

"Hello--"

Regardless, Tsukiki did give a greeting first.

What happened next was exactly the same as always.

Although there is now another person, Nozomi Mano, the relationship between Tsukiki and Sakuya remains the same as before, without much change.

The two, one big and one small, were still sitting in the corridor. The difference this time was that there was not only a breeze, but also two cups of hot tea.

Yue Shu raised his teacup, took a sip, and exhaled.

When did this happen?

Where should I begin?

White Tooth scratched his face.

"A long, long time ago."

Nozomi Mano's voice came from behind them. Tsukiki and Shiroga turned around. Nozomi Mano was standing there with a teapot and a tea mat, looking at the two of them with a big smile on her face.

"Can I sit down too?"

"Sure, sure, please sit down."

Yue Shu quickly moved to the side.

"No need, I can sit here."

Mano Nozomi put down what she was holding and sat down directly, adopting a very quiet and careful posture, as if she were protecting the little baby in her belly.

"Haha, do you think a guy like Su Mao shouldn't be able to get married?"

Mano Nozomi was quite cheerful and immediately joined the conversation. Tsukiki had seen women as straightforward as Tsunade and Kushina before.

Mano Nozomi looked at the two of them and seemed quite relaxed, while Shiroya seemed a little embarrassed, as if the roles had been reversed.

Given White Fang's current appearance, who would believe he is the same White Fang who strikes fear into the hearts of all the major ninja villages?

"Somo, he usually looks silly and all he does is practice his swordsmanship. Although everyone says he's a genius and the next Hokage, he's really quite stupid."

"I can't take care of myself and I have to trouble others, so for the sake of Sumao, I'll reluctantly sacrifice myself."

Mano Nozomi took a sip of tea and started speaking. When Shiroya saw Mano Nozomi doing this, he immediately grabbed one of her small hands.

Tsukiki expressed her helplessness.

Good grief, I just wanted to come here and take a break. At home, Kushina would ask me to practice every morning, but I didn't expect to be fed dog food here.

I'm so heartbroken.

However, Tsukiki was indeed happy for Sakuya.

Now, finally, there's someone to keep White Fang company, instead of just cold swords all the time.

Nozomi Mano has a very generous personality, and she managed to suppress White Fang in a miraculous way. Perhaps only a woman like her could keep White Fang in check from Konoha.

"bless all of you."

"Although it's a bit late."

Yue Shu smiled as she sent her blessings to her friend.

"Thank you."
