Naruto: I get stronger by drawing lots

This is no easy task; it requires conditions from all sides.

For example, if it's an element, like fire, it's impossible for it to burn inside someone else's body and then spread outwards, right?

Another essential skill is the ability to control chakra with unparalleled skill.

Watching this scene unfold, Tsukiki and Naruto realized that An Lushan had once again gloriously fallen apart after such a sudden attack.

Another arrow was shot at them, this time targeting the two of them.

These are three opposing forces, all enemies, not allies.

With a single swing of his sword, Yue Shu severed the arrow in two.

At this moment, Niu Tianye also swung his axe blade horizontally, and with the speed of his charge, the power was even greater.

Tsukiki placed one hand directly on Naruto's head, and squatted down along with him.

A cool breeze swept over my head, bringing a slight tingling sensation to my body.

Just now, Niu Tianye's axe blade swept over his head; a slight mishap would have resulted in his head being severed from his body.

Yue Shu wouldn't just dodge like that; she stretched out her leg and delivered a sweeping kick that struck Niu Tianye, causing him to lose his balance.

"Naruto!"

Tsukiki cried out, and Naruto reacted quickly, delivering a knee strike to Ushida's chest.

And this attack did work; Naruto sent Ushita flying with a single knee strike.

Tsukiki stood up, and the flames on the Kusanagi sword in his hand subsided.

"Escape from earth, bind earth in all directions."

Yue Shu planted his sword into the ground, and Niu Tianye, who had been thrown out and dragged along the ground, had just stood up when the ground beneath his feet began to tremble.

The soil seemed to come alive, stretching directly towards the cattle farm.

Starting from the feet, moving to the thighs, waist, and even the arms, this move effectively locked Niu Tianye up.

Swish!

Kotone Amamiya's arrow shot over, freeing her from her restraints.

This place isn't just about Ushida, there's also Amamiya Kotone.

No one knew that when Kizuki distributed the energy, he originally allocated more to Amamiya Kotone.

"trouble."

Yue Shu also sensed the entanglement and trouble, and muttered a sentence.

"Uncle Moon Tree!"

Naruto called out from the side.

"That bastard An Lushan is trying to escape!"

As soon as Naruto finished speaking, Tsukiki's gaze turned to him, while Ushita and Amamiya Kotone were still looking at Tsukiki and Naruto.

"Chase!"

As soon as Yue Shu finished speaking, he swung his sword, and a pure sword aura flew out.

Naruto had already begun chasing after An Lushan, with Tsukiki close behind.

Surprisingly, Ushida Yori followed along, just like Amamiya Koto.

The battlefield began to shift, and the group headed towards Sara's direction—

Chapter 169: The Chase

"Wind Release: Spiral Kunai".

Naruto drew a kunai and threw it at An Lushan, who was running ahead.

This is yet another extended ninjutsu by Naruto.

It works on a similar principle to the Rasengan, but it's contained within a kunai. While its power is definitely weakened, it has the advantage of being able to reach targets from a distance and doesn't consume much chakra, unlike the Rasenshuriken.

After all, the Rasenshuriken is so powerful. Although it can be used at a distance, it consumes too much energy. It's not something Naruto can just throw out casually, especially since Naruto's condition isn't very good right now.

The spiral kunai pierced directly into An Lushan's back, then exploded, but An Lushan didn't care.

The time has dragged on for too long. If we don't hurry, Sara might have already started sealing the dragon vein. If that's the case, then what was the point of all the efforts An Lushan made?

Ignoring Naruto, An Lushan focused on moving forward, with Naruto chasing behind. Their speeds were roughly the same, so there was no other way but to harass him from behind.

Naruto pulled out another kunai and threw it out again.

He threw the stones to the same spot every time, hoping to inflict maximum damage on An Lushan and delay his advance.

With a bang, the sound of explosions gradually rose from behind.

Naruto relentlessly pursued An Lushan ahead, while behind him, Tsukiki fought against Amamiya Kotone and Ushita Natsume, who were also chasing after him.

"Fire Release: Sweeping Flame Slash".

With a single sweep of his sword, Tsukiki created a wall of fire, splitting the two sides open to reveal Amamiya Kotone and Ushita Yori on the opposite side.

call out.

With a single slash of its sword, Yue Shu severed the arrow that was hurtling towards its face.

puff!

A huge wave of water suddenly rose up and rushed over from the opposite side of the fire wall, extinguishing the fire wall of the Moon Tree. Amamiya Kotone and Ushita Yori rushed over on the wave.

sizzle-

Hearing the sound of electricity, Niu Tianye raised his axe.

"cut!"

Naruto was right behind him, and Tsukiki kept watching Ushita's movements as he ran.

As the axe blade cleaved down, a great surge of lightning rushed over at the same time, just like the waves beneath them.

Chakra infused the Kusanagi sword, and Tsukiki drew the Kusanagi sword and slashed out.

The lightning manifested from chakra, when imbued with chakra and applied to the weapon, is powerful enough to cut through anything.

With a surge of power, Yue Shu cleaved the oncoming lightning bolt in two, sending it flying to either side instead of straight ahead.

Bang! Sizzle—

The lightning struck the ground, followed by several loud bangs and the crackling sound of electricity.

"Here you go!"

Yue Shu raised his sword and struck.

"Lightning Release: Earth Rising Dragon".

The electric current was unleashed from the Kusanagi sword, extending across the ground like a shark swimming in water with only its fins showing.

Just before reaching the location of Ushida and Amamiya Kotone.

The electric current that was drilling into the ground suddenly erupted, a large mass heading straight for the front.

Amamiya Kotone didn't move, but controlled the wave of water beneath her. However, when Ushida Yori swung his axe, the ball of electricity was instantly shattered.

"Roar."

As Amamiya Kotone and Ushita Yori jumped away, the water beneath them suddenly accelerated and then transformed into the shape of a dragon's head.

Looking over, Tsukiki saw that Amamiya Kotone had just completed her hand seals, and there was no doubt that it was she who launched the attack.

Instead of straining herself to withstand the attack, Tsukiki jumped aside, but at that moment, Amamiya Kotone's precise arrow came again. She was able to maintain such high accuracy while moving at high speed.

This level of skill in playing A is, without a doubt, top-notch.

Yue Shu is another evasive man, and with his boundless martial arts experience, he is thoroughly familiar with these matters.

However, Ushida's attack also landed, and he jumped over and swung his axe down while Yue Shu was dodging the arrow.

Tsukiki shifted his stance, gripping the Kusanagi sword in his hand, and directly blocked Ushita's axe strike.

This clash forced Tsukiki to stop, and she joined Ushita, while Amamiya Kotone's figure swept past them, heading straight for Naruto ahead.

"They're actually quite clever."

Yue Shu increased his strength and pushed through, creating a tiny gap. He then kicked Niu Tianye back and quickly turned around to chase after him.

Naruto was already chasing after An Lushan and his physical condition wasn't good. Now, with the troublesome Amamiya Kotone joining the fray, things are likely to get very bad.

An Lushan was likely to escape, but Naruto was held back.

Don't even think about it.

Tsukiki looked at Amamiya Kotone ahead, who wasn't far behind him. His speed was probably the fastest here. Ushida and Amamiya Kotone's abilities were slowly decreasing. Tsukiki could guess a little about the reason. Ushida and Amamiya Kotone were originally dead, and the actual manipulators had already left. It wasn't surprising that the two puppets' strength was gradually decreasing.

Wood Release!

"Wooden binding".

Tsukuyomi isn't very used to using Wood Release because it exposes too much of his personality. Wood Release is inherently a sensitive thing, just like his Sharingan.

His Sharingan is only at the three-tomoe stage and has yet to evolve. For battles at this stage, a mere three-tomoe Sharingan is of little use, but his Wood Release is still incredibly powerful.

In her line of sight, branches of all sizes sprouted and extended, emerging directly from the ground and reaching towards Amamiya Kotone. Their speed was fast and unexpected, and Amamiya Kotone was immediately entangled and dragged down.

At this moment, Tsukiki caught up again, his Kusanagi sword imbued with wind-attribute chakra, making it even sharper.

Yue Shu thrust his sword forward, but the opponent was already dead, so there was no problem.

Perhaps there was also some influence from Himegami Tsukiki. After meeting him once and learning about their history, Tsukiki hesitated slightly when wielding his sword.

Kotone Amamiya was ultimately the guardian of the Divine Tree who first fought against the Otsutsuki clan, and the formation of the ninja world today is absolutely inseparable from the contributions of the guardian of the Divine Tree.

You should know that Amamiya Kotone is just a pretty young woman. Looking at her face, she is in the prime of her life. But Amamiya Kotone is different from other women. She stands in the most intense battlefield.

Still hesitant, Yue Shu did not strike with her sword, not out of mercy, but because of the approaching Niu Tianye from behind.

Being enveloped in lightning likely enhanced his physical strength, increasing his speed. In just a short time, Niu Tianye managed to catch up.

Before Tsukiki could react, the sword in his hand was about to pierce Amamiya Kotone's heart. At this moment, Amamiya Kotone definitely wouldn't be able to break free of her restraints so quickly. If it weren't for Ushida Yori, Amamiya Kotone would have truly fallen into this trap this time.

On the other hand, Niu Tianye's force was quite sufficient, and Yue Shu was sent flying directly out, crashing into a nearby building and breaking through several walls.
