Naruto: I get stronger by drawing lots

Not only were the small stones and sand needles stunned, but the moon tree was too.

This scene is very familiar; it's the same as the Reanimation Jutsu, the ultimate weapon of the Fourth Shinobi World War.

So, is the person inside the coffin also a dead person?

"you!"

The two stones, Onoshi and Shashizhen, spoke at the same time, their anger soaring to the heavens, impossible to suppress.

Mu Yue smiled happily as the coffin slowly opened, revealing two people inside.

They were no different from normal people, except that they exuded an aura of death.

They were a man and a woman; the man was rugged, while the woman was undeniably beautiful, radiating a gentle and refined charm.

"Ye, the sound of the zither—"

Onoshi's voice trembled; without a doubt, these two were the other guardians of the sacred tree.

The next moment, the two dead men, known as Ye and Qinyin, opened their eyes. Their pupils were lifeless, but their bodies began to move stiffly.

"So, what kind of grand show will you put on for me? I'm really looking forward to it."

As Mu Yue's voice faded, Ye and Qin Yin's gazes fell upon Onoshi and the sand needles.

Those were their comrades who had shared life and death together—

Chapter 139: The First Guardians of the Divine Tree

"He's injured again."

Amamiya Kotone looked at Onoshi in front of her. He wasn't old, but among the young soldiers who were generally in their teens, his age of over twenty was considered that of an old soldier.

"War is inevitable. It's good enough if you don't die. You've lived for so many years."

Onoshi smiled, quite philosophical about it. He had no parents and no attachments. After living for so many years, the land of ancestors was his mother. And now, he had been guarding his mother for more than ten years, and at almost thirty years old, he still didn't have a partner.

"However, you still need to take good care of yourself."

Kotone Amamiya tapped Onoshi's head, looking like she really couldn't do anything with him.

She was in her early twenties, the most beautiful age for a woman. As a rare doctor, she was highly valued, especially since she was a famous and beautiful doctor.

"Okay, I'm almost thirty, this is weird."

Onoshi protested, but Amamiya Kotone smiled and helped him disinfect and bandage his wound.

There was another large scratch running from his back to his waist. His body was almost entirely covered in scars, all evidence of Onoshi's many years of fighting.

Kotone Amamiya gently ran her fingers along the man before her, carefully sensing his presence.

Both of them remained silent, without saying a word.

After bandaging up the wounded, Amamiya Kotone had to move on to the next injured person, while Onoshi sat resting, his gaze unconsciously drifting towards the beautiful woman.

This was their initial connection—

"We've won!"

"We have defeated the Valley Country!"

Time passed quickly, and the battle was finally over. Once again, Onoshi was one of the lucky ones who survived.

Did we win?

Holding his shield and greatsword, Onoshi muttered to himself.

My gaze followed the group of young soldiers for a moment. From now on, the Ancestral Kingdom will become the only country that dominates the region. Perhaps there will be no more wars. All of this is thanks to that young king.

Onoshi put down his weapon with a sense of relief, and now he could finally step back and rest properly.

His eyes flashed and a beautiful figure caught his eye. For some reason, Onoshi asked her directly.

"Um, Ms. Amamiya, would you like to go out for a meal together?"

The woman paused for a moment, then broke into a radiant smile.

"Okay."

At the moment of victory, a nearly thirty-year-old man and a young woman in the prime of her life embarked on a romantic journey.

"Hey, have you heard? The guy who attacked us a while ago was called something like Otsutsuki."

"That person who can fly and make the ground shake with his hands? How terrifying. I never expected His Majesty the King to possess magical powers and actually defeat him."

"Yes, that's him. I heard he came for that divine tree. That divine tree seems to have great power, and it's said that the king learned magic because of it. And I also heard that if the divine tree is stolen, our place will be destroyed by an earthquake."

"Wow! That's terrible! What if someone like that comes again? The king can't stay here forever."

"Fortunately, His Majesty the King said that the Divine Tree can also give the same power to others. Even the Queen from the Divine Tree said that there would be no problem. However, the requirements seem to be very strict, and failure to pass could mean death."

"That's so strict. Hopefully, there will be more people, otherwise His Majesty the King alone can't handle it."

About a year later, just as Onoshi woke up, he was surrounded by all sorts of rumors and news.

Some time ago, a god-like figure appeared in the Ancestral Kingdom, whose power shook the earth with a wave of his hand. He destroyed a third of the Ancestral Kingdom. If the king of the Ancestral Kingdom hadn't intervened in time, the Ancestral Kingdom would probably be gone by now.

Onoshi sat in front of the clinic, quietly listening to the gossip of passersby.

"Good morning."

Hearing the sweet voice, Onoshi snapped out of his reverie and saw the person he had been longing for.

"Good morning."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

"I brought lunch today, let's eat together at noon."

As Amamiya Kotone opened the door, she spoke, while Onoshi behind her remained silent.

"The sound of a zither".

"Ok?"

"I want to try and test the power of that divine tree."

Kotone Amamiya stopped what she was doing; the door was unlocked, but not opened.

"Why? It could be life-threatening."

Kotone Amamiya turned around, looking very serious.

"I know."

"you do not know!"

"How old are you? Twenty-nine, almost thirty. You're way past the age for this kind of thing. Those young people are only teenagers, ten years younger than you!"

"I know, but I just feel like I can't sit like this."

Onoshi touched his head and smiled.

"I guess I'm not going to be a hero anymore. I'm getting old and frail, but..."

"What kind of soldier sits and watches others?"

Kotone Amamiya stared at Onoshi for a long while.

"I'll go as well."

"what?"

"I'm going too! Let's go together!"

Onoshi smiled and gently lifted a strand of hair from Amamiya Kotone's forehead.

"Yes, together."

"Fool!"

The clinic door was locked again, and the big hand took the little hand, and the two walked towards the most dazzling sacred tree—

"Next person."

"arrive."

The sudden shout startled the person in charge of the sacred tree. He glanced at the small wild stone in front of him and then looked away.

The King and Queen were secretly watching from a short distance away.

Onoshi gave Amamiya Kotone a look and stepped forward.

The selection process for the Divine Tree involves eating some of its bark and observing the effects of adaptation. There was a case where a girl ate the bark and her hair suddenly turned red, and her physical condition became extraordinary, which indicates that she had adapted well.

Picking up the tiny bit of bark in front of him, Xiao Yeshi gnawed on it without hesitation.

His body started to heat up, followed by waves of pain, and Onoshi cried out.

It felt as if every cell in my body was screaming, as if my entire body was shedding its skin, and all I could hear was a crackling sound.

"The first one."

A cool, clear voice rang out from somewhere, and the young man next to him breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"what!"

Onoshi shouted and knelt down on the ground, his clothes soaked with sweat.

"I'm fine!"

The person in charge had just sighed when tears welled up in Amamiya Kotone's eyes, and Onoshi's weak voice came through.

The scene suddenly became lively.

The first person to pass the selection has been announced; the only one in the past few days.

Kotone Amamiya held Konoshi tightly in her arms.

What people didn't know was that the woman holding the first person to pass the selection was actually the second person to pass.

Within a single day, the first two guardians of the sacred tree were born here.
