Naruto: I get stronger by drawing lots

The butterfly flaps its wings, flapping and flapping, and who knows, it might stir up a typhoon somewhere.

The next day, Konoha Village was bustling with activity as the two most famous geniuses in the village, Minato Namikaze and Tsukihime Himegami, were about to have a duel.

In addition, Minato Namikaze also plans to graduate early.

The location was the ninja academy's training ground, where a large crowd had already gathered, including ninjas and civilians, all there to watch the duel between Minato Namikaze and Tsuki.

In the days following World War II, Konoha boasts two astonishing geniuses, known as the Twin Stars of Konoha—Minato Namikaze and Tsuki.

Now, the twin stars of Konoha are engaged in a duel to see who shines brighter.

"Minato Namikaze, Tsukiki Himegami, come forward."

As the teacher's voice rang out, the atmosphere became lively.

"The seal of opposition."

Tsukiki and Minato Namikaze stared at each other, their eyes filled with fighting spirit.

For Tsuki, Minato Namikaze was his only male friend, and his fighting strength was also quite good. At least apart from Tsuki, probably no student in the ninja academy could defeat him.

"Don't stop."

Minato Namikaze and Tsukiki formed opposing hand seals and spoke a sentence.

"Do not worry."

Tsukiki's reply made Minato Namikaze smile.

"Both sides prepare."

After forming the opposing seals, Tsukiki and Minato Namikaze both retreated a distance from each other, and their duel was about to begin.

A gentle breeze swept by, and the previously noisy scene suddenly fell silent.

This is no longer a casual sparring match, but a real duel, a duel in which both sides give it their all!

The air was quiet, and both Tsukiki and Minato could hear each other's rapid heartbeats.

"start!"

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique".

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough Technique".

Chapter 11: The Duel (Part Two)

At the teacher's command, Tsukiki and Minato Namikaze began forming hand seals simultaneously, but their hand seal speeds were quite similar, and they released their ninjutsu almost at the same time.

The strong wind and the fireball collided and then dissipated, leaving the surrounding air to heat up considerably.

The remaining flames blocked both sides' vision, and a series of whooshing sounds rang out, directly piercing through the flames and scattering them.

Tsukiki and Minato Namikaze watched as kunai were shot at each other, and with a slight movement, they dodged them all in an instant.

"Wind Release: Wind Blade".

Minato Namikaze started forming hand seals again the instant he dodged, which surprised Tsukiki for a moment, but only for a moment.

Minato Namikaze definitely has hidden strength, and this time he intends to reveal it all.

Thinking this, Tsukiki gripped the Kusanagi sword at her waist.

"Iaijutsu!"

His eyes sharpened instantly, and Tsukiki drew his Kusanagi sword in a flash.

Minato Namikaze's wind blade was rushing over, and a slash directly broke through it, continuing towards Minato.

Minato Namikaze crouched down, almost collapsing to the ground, just barely dodging Tsukiki's slash.

"Earth Release: Earth Swamp Technique."

Minato Namikaze's eyes remained calm, showing no sign of panic despite nearly missing the attack.

"Great!"

The people around gasped in surprise; the fight, which lasted only about ten seconds, had them gasping in astonishment.

This isn't a battle between Chunin or Jonin; it's a fight between two kids still studying at the Ninja Academy, but it looks like a fight between two well-known ninjas.

Normally, ninja academy students learn the Three Body Technique and how to use kunai by the time they graduate. The more skilled ones can use a C-rank ninjutsu. People like Minato Namikaze and Tsukiki are simply freaks, and they were only a little over eight years old, not even twelve years old yet when they graduated.

Turning back, under the effect of Minato Namikaze's ninjutsu, the ground in front of him, including where Tsukiki was standing, became sticky, greatly affecting Tsukiki's movements.

"I'm sorry, Tsukiki."

Minato Namikaze charged forward with a kunai in hand, while Tsukiki was stuck in place.

"Don't lose, kid."

Tsunade's voice came from the side, and Tsukiki smiled as he looked at Minato Namikaze in front of him.

This duel is no small matter; not only Tsunade, but also Hatake Sakumo, and even Orochimaru and the Third Hokage are watching.

The kunai pierced through the Moon Tree's body, and a wisp of smoke emerged. Minato Namikaze had struck a piece of wood.

"A substitution technique?"

Minato Namikaze's eyes widened slightly, then he raised the corners of his mouth.

"Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique".

Tsukiki's figure had already arrived behind Minato Namikaze.

With his hands forming a hand seal, a straight line of flame shot directly from Tsukiki's mouth toward Minato Namikaze.

boom!

The flames crashed down, engulfing Minato Namikaze as well.

Those around gasped in surprise, their hearts filled with worry for Minato Namikaze amidst the flames.

Of course, these were all civilians, and the ninjas didn't show any signs of worry, but they were still keeping a close eye on this side.

In ninja battles, if a ninja doesn't personally witness the opponent's demise, then the opponent might still be alive. This is also true on the battlefield, where a finishing blow will definitely be delivered after the battle.

The most typical example is Obito Uchiha. He seemed to be someone who was doomed to die, but who would have thought that he would not only survive but also become the big boss in Naruto?

The moon tree fell to the ground, looking at the place where the flames had not yet dissipated.

"Earth Release: The Decapitation Technique in the Heart."

A sense of unease lingered in Yue Shu's heart. The next second, a pair of hands suddenly burst out of the ground where he was standing.

A hand emerged from the ground, grabbed the Moon Tree's foot, and then pulled it down with a force.

"Wow."

People around gasped in surprise. The ball of flame that the moon tree had spewed out had dissipated, leaving nothing but a hole in the ground.

"Well done."

The Third Hokage couldn't help but exclaim as he watched all this. He was very familiar with Minato Namikaze and knew quite a bit about this commoner genius from Konoha.

Now it seems that the title of genius is well-deserved; his combat experience and skills are in no way inferior to those of a formal ninja.

"I'm sorry, Tsukiki."

Minato Namikaze emerged from the ground to the side, holding a kunai, and charged toward the Moon Tree, whose head was barely visible.

Tsukiki smiled, showing absolutely no sign of panic, which made Minato Namikaze sense something was amiss.

With a "poof," the Moon Tree used its strength to break the spell, popping its body out of the ground.

"Kotetsu!"

Tsukiki gripped the Kusanagi sword, his eyes sharpening.

The Kusanagi sword was drawn, and Tsukiki arched his body, looking like a tiger ready to hunt.

Minato Namikaze was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized what was happening.

Just then, the Moon Tree's attack landed.

Like a streak of light, in a flash, Yue Shu's sword fell down.

Minato Namikaze didn't just stand there dumbfounded. He gripped the kunai tightly and transferred his chakra to it.

A longer blade of light emerged from the tip of the kunai; it was a blade of chakra.

"bring it on!"

Minato Namikaze looked at the approaching Tsukiki without any fear.

Ever since he learned that Tsuki no Ki's swordsmanship was extremely powerful, he also intensified his training with kunai, hoping to use it to counter Tsuki no Ki's formidable swordsmanship.

The next second, Tsuki no Kisaki's Kusanagi sword and Minato Namikaze's kunai collided.

With a sudden bang.

A crisp sound rang out, and a gust of wind blew to the side.

The people around them were stunned. They knew that these were two geniuses, but this was completely beyond their imagination. What kind of genius would have such a level at the age of eight?

They had never seen it before, and not only them, but even the Third Hokage admitted that he had never seen it before. Although he had trained the current Sannin, neither Tsukuyomi nor Minato Namikaze could surpass Jiraiya and the others.

Even the legendary Sannin, at the age of eight, had never been this monstrous.

The people around were amazed; the battle between Tsukiki and Minato Namikaze was far from over.

After Minato Namikaze clashed with Tsukiki, Minato's strength and technique were insufficient, and he was directly knocked away by Tsukiki.

Minato Namikaze was sent flying backward, his entire body dragging on the ground, and he even rolled several times.

Minato Namikaze gritted his teeth, turned in mid-air, and then forcibly stopped his body with his hands and feet.

"Wind Release!"

Minato Namikaze had no intention of ending things just like that; for him, it was far from over!

"Fire escape!"

This is the final blow.

Both Tsukiki and Minato Namikaze understood each other's intentions and began forming hand seals.

I want to win!
