Naruto: I get stronger by drawing lots

"why?"

"Then let's give him a good beating!"

"Oh!"

A ball of chakra gathered in the puppet's mouth, and a chakra cannon shot out, its dazzling light flashing directly towards them.

"Rasenshuriken!"

Naruto took the lead, rushing forward to withstand the chakra cannon, while his companions followed suit.

boom!

The chakra cannon and the Rasenshuriken collided and exploded, sending Naruto flying.

"Damn, this guy's got some skills."

Naruto fell to the ground and dragged himself for a distance, his face covered in dust and his clothes torn in many places.

"why?"

Sarah asked from the side, tears streaming down her face without her noticing.

Naruto glanced over, stood up, and dusted himself off.

"for you."

Sara watched as Naruto handed her a short sword. It was a short sword with a chakra mark on it, a chakra sword that the village had given him before he set off. Its chakra conductivity was much better than that of ordinary weapons, and it was specially designed to deal with puppets.

"Since it's a treasure, we should protect it well."

As Naruto spoke, he placed the object directly into Sara's hand.

"Feeling powerless is common; everyone feels it, but you're never alone; everyone feels it!"

"If you can't protect what you value, then let's protect it together."

boom!

Another explosion occurred nearby, and the boy and girl exchanged a glance.

Naruto smiled, turned around and walked away.

"Go do what you want to do, protect what you want to protect. Even if you can't do it alone, just do it, and someone will surely stand in your way. This is what a respected uncle of mine told me, and now I'm passing it on to you. Go, protect what you want to protect!"

The words echoed as the boy's figure walked away.

Gripping the dagger tightly, Sarah wiped away her tears, her eyes suddenly hardening, just like the boy's.

"Everyone, follow me to a safe place."

"Please, trust me! Give me one more chance to protect you."

Sarah lowered her head and pleaded. She hadn't done anything in a way that matched the Queen of Loulan's behavior in so long, so why should she stand up and claim to protect others?

“Raise your head.”

"You are the Queen of Loulan."

The woman in front of her lifted Sarah's head.

"Who could refuse a strong girl who says she wants to protect herself?"

"We believe you; you are the Queen of Loulan."

Yes! Keep it up!

We believe in you!

The woman took the lead, and those around her also expressed their own opinions.

Sarah gritted her teeth, just about to say thank you.

"No need to say anything, just do it."

A voice spoke before him, and Sarah, looking at the woman in front of her, changed her words.

"Everyone, follow me!"

Sarah took the lead and started moving, and everyone else did the same, the young and the old were carried and held by the strong, all following behind Sarah.

"Leaf Whirlwind!"

Ninjutsu wasn't very effective, so Naruto resorted to taijutsu to deal with the big guy in front of him.

Fortunately, Naruto never neglected his taijutsu training, since his ninjutsu skills were never particularly good, and he mainly relied on taijutsu.

Sakura added a punch from the side, directly shattering a part of the puppet's body.

Sai fell from the sky, and the Super Beast Imitation Drawing crashed down directly, while Rin and Obito attacked from behind with their ninjutsu.

The puppet can only absorb ninjutsu from the front; it doesn't have this ability on its head or back. After such a beating, it suffered considerable damage, with pieces missing from its body.

But the trouble was yet to come. With its abnormal regenerative ability, the puppet in front of him returned to its original state in the blink of an eye.

"It's no use. As long as the dragon vein is still functioning, I am immortal!"

An Lushan swept his men away with a single horizontal motion.

"Don't even think about escaping! Not a single one of you!"

An Lushan let out a shout, and the entire space trembled.

The surrounding parts and fragments, the cracked walls scattered everywhere, these different components all came together to form small puppets, each the size of a normal person, and their number was enormous.

The Loulan army today is an immortal army!

The small puppets kept swarming around them, and there was also a big guy here. Naruto and his friends were slowly drawn into a tough battle.

Even if these puppets are broken apart, they can quickly recover; the only way to do so is through the chakra threads hidden on their backs.

However, severing the chakra threads is not the end. The power of the dragon vein will continue to form chakra threads. Now, Loulan is like a net, with crisscrossing threads constantly forming. The number of puppets is constantly increasing, and they are almost impossible to kill. It is no exaggeration to call them an immortal army.

"Damn it, this is really troublesome!"

Naruto severed the chakra threads with a kunai, causing several more puppets to fall apart. However, the puppets he had previously dealt with slowly began to form chakra threads again, creating an endless cycle.

"Enjoy this! This is the power of Loulan!"

An Lushan's giant puppet form threw a punch, and Naruto, unable to dodge, was sent flying.

"Naruto!"

The other four were also trapped; there were simply too many puppets.

"retreat."

Toughing it out isn't a good idea; we can only retreat for now.

The group slowly backed away, heading towards Naruto's direction.

Sara, who hadn't gone far, was also attacked by puppets that suddenly appeared. Fortunately, only one or two appeared occasionally. Sara inexplicably possessed superhuman physical abilities and used the chakra blade given to her by Naruto to defeat these puppets.

We must protect Loulan!

Chapter 152: The Konoha Ninja

"How is this going?"

Kakashi and Yamato stopped, and the surrounding towers began to move, with a layer of their surface peeling off one by one.

These scattered parts slowly assembled themselves, and that's how puppets were formed.

"This is!"

Yamato knew perfectly well that this was Centipede's trick; when they were chasing Centipede before, Centipede had used puppets to deal with them.

"A centipede puppet, but why? How did he control such a large number?"

"Centipede? Is that An Lushan?"

"Hmm, to be able to control so many puppets, just what level of strength has that guy reached!"

Yamato's voice was very low; such a powerful enemy was never a good thing for them.

"Something must have happened. Let's find the others and meet up first."

Yamato looked at the growing number of puppets and made a decision.

Kakashi nodded and followed behind Yamato.

Minato and Kushina's whereabouts were also constantly changing, while only Naruto and the others' whereabouts were known, so Yamato and the other two's intentions were quite obvious.

"Let's go find Naruto first; it's highly likely that Naruto and his friends are behind this."

Yamato has known Naruto for quite some time and understands this kid whom Kakashi calls number one in unpredictability.

Naruto can cause trouble whenever there's a chance; the size of the trouble depends on how big it gets.

Yamato and Kakashi headed towards Naruto's direction, and Naruto followed suit.

An Lushan is like a tailed beast, and with countless puppet boys, Naruto and his men are at a great disadvantage.

If it were truly a tailed beast, that would be fine, but An Lushan can absorb chakra, rendering any ninjutsu completely ineffective. Moreover, he is practically immortal, and no matter how much damage he causes, he recovers in the blink of an eye.

"How are we supposed to fight this?!"

Explosions continued to erupt all around, and shards of tile flew everywhere. Obito couldn't help but shout.

"Lin, be careful!"

Obito was running beside Rin, with Sakura and Sai nearby, but Naruto was nowhere to be seen.

"Naruto is still over there, are you sure everything's okay?"

Lin was a little worried because Naruto had just flown out without making a sound.

Compared to the worried Rin, Sakura and Sai were much calmer.

"Don't worry about Naruto. Anyway, that big guy is catching up with us. Naruto will be fine."

"Yes, Naruto is not such a fragile person."

Without much worry, Sai and Sakura said in unison:

"Just trust Naruto."

Both Obito and Rin were taken aback by the unwavering trust shown to them.
