Naruto: I get stronger by drawing lots

Sarah looked around at the people dressed in the same uniform, in simple clothes, of all ages, young and old, but without a doubt, they were all treated the same.

Both the aged and the youthful faces were etched with weariness, which made Sarah feel ashamed.

Sarah has been the queen of Loulan since she was a child. The previous queen, Sarah's mother died young, and Sarah ascended to the throne with the help of her uncle.

She herself hadn't done anything for the queen; these things were basically arranged by An Lushan. But who would have known that An Lushan's heart wasn't in Loulan at all?

"I--"

Sarah wanted to say something, but couldn't bring herself to say it. Did someone like herself, a queen like herself, really have the right to speak to these suffering people in front of her?

Sarah was pushed in the back and forced to take two steps forward.

Turning his head, he saw Naruto's face right there, smiling at him.

"Go ahead, you're the queen, aren't you?"

Naruto gave Sara a thumbs up, a clichéd way of encouraging her that immediately brought a smile to Sara's face.

It was like a fool's encouragement, but it was precisely this foolish way of encouraging that gave so much courage.

Sarah took a breath and looked around at the crowd who seemed to be waiting for her to say something.

"Fellow citizens of Loulan, as the Queen of Loulan, I must first apologize to you all. For so long, all of this suffering has been caused by my inaction. However, from now on, I will definitely lead Loulan forward."

Please give me another chance!

The girl's voice still sounded childish, but it was also so strong.

The surroundings quieted down, and a sudden silence fell, causing the girl to hold her breath.

"It's just one chance, here you go."

The one who spoke first was a woman, whose strong eyes were remarkably similar to Sarah's.

"What else can we do if we don't trust you? Isn't that right? The queen of Loulan can only be a descendant of bloodline, otherwise I would like to try being a queen myself."

The woman laughed heartily a few times, and her jokes immediately livened up the atmosphere, making the surrounding atmosphere less oppressive.

Sara stared at the woman for a long time until Naruto patted her on the shoulder.

"Isn't this great? Keep it up!"

"Ok!"

He nodded and responded, and the next moment, he heard a noise above his head.

With an explosion, a huge object plummeted straight down, right above Sara and the others. If they didn't dodge, they would be crushed into mincemeat in an instant.

However, with such a large area, there wasn't even time to hide.

"Wind Release: Rasenshuriken!"

Naruto was the first to react and rushed forward. There were lives lying beneath him, and Naruto was not about to let them fall.

Without a word, he unleashed his killing move. The Rasenshuriken shrieked as Naruto stepped into the air and flew away.

The Rasenshuriken shuriken cried out as Naruto threw it, aiming directly at the colossal creature that resembled a tailed beast.

buzz-

That was the sound of the spiral shuriken. It struck the giant object directly, creating a massive gust of wind that ravaged the object.

The massive object flew out and was even severely damaged, which is how it should have been; the power of the Spiral Shuriken is no joke.

However, everything turned out unexpectedly.

The wind field created by the Rasenshuriken was visibly and rapidly absorbed, just as the Otsutsuki absorbed ninjutsu, this behemoth would also absorb it!

The position hadn't shifted much; it was still above his head, and Naruto's killing move didn't cause much of a commotion.

"hateful!"

Naruto gritted his teeth, preparing to continue using Rasenshuriken to charge forward. Otherwise, if things continued like this, the people around him and he would not escape this attack. Perhaps he would not die, but what about Sara and the people of Loulan who were just ordinary people?

"asshole!"

Upon hearing the familiar curse, a smile appeared on Naruto's face, and he stopped what he was doing.

The enormous object above them was forcefully knocked away, leaving a tiny figure in mid-air.

The sound of birdsong came over, and a strange, large bird flapped its wings and circled in the air, directly catching the tiny figure that was falling.

"Sakura! Sai!"

His companions arrived, and Naruto was overjoyed!

"real or fake?"

"Smash that thing away."

"Great!"

Those around couldn't believe it, including Sara. Naruto, however, waved to the bird in the sky, and soon the bird slowly flew down.

As the ink dissipated, four figures landed directly, none other than Sai and his companions.

"Are you an idiot? Or are you so impulsive? We were behind you and you did this before we even realized what was happening."

Sakura jumped down and punched Naruto right away.

They were indeed ready to provide support at any time. They heard a loud bang while they were outside the tower, and the vibrations were immediately felt. The four of them rushed over to provide support.

Who knew Naruto would be so reckless again?

"So handsome!"

"Obito, I think we should calm down. Naruto is too reckless."

Obito and Rin also saw Naruto's actions and each held their own opinions.

Sai, on the other hand, was all smiles. He's always been like that; I've never seen him scold anyone.

Sara watched from the sidelines: the aggrieved Naruto and Sakura scolding him; two younger children beside them, one with shining eyes and the other carefully instructing him; and a fatherly figure smiling on the side.

For some reason, Sarah couldn't help but smile in this atmosphere.

"Those brats from Konoha, they're always getting in my way!"

A familiar voice came from afar, and everyone's eyes turned to it.

"Centipede!"

Naruto looked at the giant object in the distance. Only when it stood up did he realize what it looked like.

The giant puppet, humanoid in shape, had a fat belly, and An Lushan's voice came from inside.

"A centipede? That thing turned into this?"

Sakura was also momentarily stunned.

"uncle--"

Sarah looked complicated.

"Why? Look around you, everyone is a citizen of Loulan, why are you doing this?"

"Your disgusting kindness is exactly like your mother's. You have such a powerful weapon as Loulan, yet you're stuck in this damned desert."

"So I killed her, and you were quite obedient. But as expected, children are better; they become willful when they grow up."

Sarah's eyes widened, and her hands fell limp. The news rushed into her mind, shaking her violently.

His own mother was killed by his own hands!

"Mom? Killed?"

Sarah's hands trembled slightly; she couldn't accept this cruel reality all at once, and her voice trembled as well.

The people around her were also surprised; no one had expected that there was such a story behind the death of the former Loulan Queen.

"Don't worry, it'll be your turn soon, and you'll see her very soon."

"What do you know! You bastard!"

Naruto stepped forward, glaring angrily at the giant puppet in front of him.

The boy's figure stood in front of Sarah, as if blocking countless waves of malice, instantly bringing her a sense of peace.

Chapter 151: The Loulan Incident

"Sarah, you must grow up well and protect Loulan well."

In my eyes, that one glance transcends time, and that figure appears before my eyes.

A gentle smile always blooms in her face, forever beautiful, like a flower that never fades.

But eventually, the flowers will still wither; that moment just hasn't arrived yet.

Don't worry.

“There will definitely be someone who stands in front of Sarah, someone who will protect Sarah and protect what Sarah values—”

The image slowly blurred and eventually faded away, and all of time returned to one place: the present.

"Loulan is not a weapon! It's a treasure that some people value most!"

Naruto stood alone in front, roaring as he confronted the giant puppet before him.

"Hahaha, is that so? Then I'll steal your most prized treasure and turn it into the weapon you hate the most!"

"If you can do it, then come on over! I'm definitely going to beat you up! I won't hold back!"

Naruto's eyes were very serious, without much anger in them. Even if there was anger, it was only because others looked down on their treasures, and that anger was for others.

"This idiot, there's just no way to deal with him, he's always so impulsive."

Sakura covered her forehead, smiled, and silently walked forward.

"There's nothing I can do about it, that's just the way Naruto is."

Sai was the same, with Obito and Rin following behind.

"Although it's a bit impulsive, it's not bad."

"Awesome! Naruto is so cool!"

Naruto's companions slowly filled up behind him, and Sara silently shed tears without even realizing it.
