Naruto: I get stronger by drawing lots

"It's really exciting."

Yue Shu smiled, but a lot of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.

The collision aggravated Yahiko's previous injuries, causing them to worsen considerably.

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Tsukiki regained his footing, his hand still gripping the Kusanagi sword tightly, never letting it slip from his grasp.

Taking advantage of this moment, Niu Tianye rushed in, wielding his axe.

Inside the building, the two clashed once again.

Chapter 170: Life

dang!

The axe blade and the sword collided, creating a shockwave that swept outwards, sweeping things inside the building into the air and sending them flying everywhere. Tables and other items shattered.

Yue Shu and Niu Tianye each took two steps back, and now they were evenly matched, with neither having the upper hand.

He charged at her again, and Tsukiki dodged Ushita's axe blade by sidestepping. The overflowing chakra directly cut Tsukiki, adding a few more small wounds.

He turned around and kicked out.

Wrapped in chakra, its power increases once again, much like a partial chakra cloak.

Niu Tianye reacted quickly, blocking the kick with the side of his axe. However, the kick was powerful, and he was still knocked back a distance. Yue Shu took advantage of the recoil to smash through the wall and rush out.

"Wood Release: Wood Chain Lock Technique".

Strands of wood emerged from the ground, transforming into chains that further bound Amamiya Kotone, who was just about to break free.

"Don't even think about running away."

Tsukiki looked at Amamiya Kotone, uttered a phrase, and then lightning erupted behind him, heading straight for him.

Tsukiki turned around and swung his sword down.

However, this time the lightning bolt wasn't directly dispersed, but rather it withstood a considerable amount of it.

Yue Shu's hands were trembling slightly.

"call--"

Tsukiki, panting, often said that Naruto's current condition was not good, but how good could he really be?

Although his exchange with Yahiko lasted only a short while, he almost died in that one exchange.

Now that his wounds have worsened considerably, and with the battles continuing non-stop and his opponents all being incredibly strong, Tsukiki is also becoming quite exhausted.

"It's a little... bad."

Tsukiki gasped for breath as she looked at Ushida, who was charging towards her.

Without a doubt, Ushida's speed was much worse. His battle with Amamiya Kotone was exhausting him. The longer it went on, the weaker they became.

But the condition of the moon tree is also deteriorating, which is why it seems to remain unchanged.

More and more lightning gathered, and Yue Shu looked at Ushida, whose eyes were also filled with lightning, and couldn't help but smile:

"What?"

"The final blow? Just what I want!"

Tsukiki gripped the Kusanagi sword tightly, channeling earth-attribute chakra into it.

Thunder is an element recognized by Niu Tianye, so it's impossible to use thunder, as that would be admitting defeat. Fire and thunder don't go well together; combining them would be suicide. Water is countered, and wind is ineffective. Only earth is viable—it's good for both offense and defense, though not particularly strong, but it's durable and has some effect against thunder.

After all, everyone understands the concept of grounded electricity.

The Kusanagi sword radiated a golden light, and its weight was quite evident.

"Tudun!"

Tsukiki gripped the sword with both hands, and the Kusanagi sword extended, instantly transforming into a greatsword.

"King Houtu!"

With a sharp look in his eyes, Tsukiki met Ushida's charge head-on!

boom!

sizzle ————

When the weapons clashed, it was a sword and an axe.

The shockwave continued to spread outwards!

The weight in his hand was very heavy. Yue Shu gritted his teeth and exerted his strength.

The stalemate lasted only a short while. Ushida had suppressed Tsukiki for a while, but in the later stages, Tsukiki stood up!

"what!"

With a roar, Yue Shu pressed down, ending the attack!

boom!

The thunder and lightning swept outwards like the wind.

Niu Tianye's figure flew out, dragging along the ground, crashing into a broken wall.

With a snap, the axe blade fell from Niu Tianye's hand.

Blood spurted out, and Niu Tianye's body slumped down.

A glint seemed to flash in his lifeless eyes for a moment, and Niu Tianye's hand trembled as he tried to grab the fallen axe blade.

"Don't think about it!"

Tsuki's figure flew over like a dragon drawn from a spear, landing directly on Ushida's hand, while the Kusanagi sword aimed straight for his heart.

With a soft thud, the Kusanagi sword pierced his chest, and Ushida's hand stopped moving.

"call--"

Yue Shu's hands went weak; withstanding the blow that Niu Tianye had just poured everything into was no easy task.

"My Lord!"

Yue Shu's pupils contracted, and her slightly tired eyes turned to Ushida Ye.

Niu Tianye leaned against the ruins, his body covered in blood. This time, he had no way to recover. Even Amamiya Kotone, who could help him, was properly restrained.

A glimmer of light appeared in those eyes, but it vanished as soon as Yue Shu caught a glimpse of it.

No wonder they said—

Yue Shu gripped her hands tightly, her face somber.

"The original instinctive will?"

Humans are truly amazing creatures; their instincts are always astonishing.

There are many examples, such as a mother who withstood falling boulders during an earthquake to protect her child, or a man who remained conscious for days under a boulder so he could see his loved ones one last time.

These things that are impossible for humans to do actually exist, and there were many of them in Yue Shu's previous lives.

Some say that humans are composed of two parts of consciousness: reason and instinct. These two parts are inherently one, but reason occupies the body. Only in special circumstances does instinct come into play, allowing life to create miracles.

This is the beauty of life, just like the present moment.

Even after death, when the body is used by people, it still retains an undying instinctive consciousness.

"Feel sorry."

Tsukiki drew his Kusanagi sword, and with one hand, he stroked Ushita's face, closing his eyes as well.

This is what the dead should look like.

Tsukiki stared at Ushida for a while, then turned and walked away, gripping the Kusanagi sword, which was still stained with Ushida's blood.

Behind them, Niu Tianye's body stained the ruins red, and the blood that flowed down stained the road. Yue Shu's feet were stained with some of it, and bloody footprints continued to extend along the way.

Finally, they arrived at Amamiya Kotone's side. She had already done so much, both as a support and as a main force. The water wasn't in a hurry to begin with, and after a while, it would eventually calm down again.

Amamiya Kotone was entangled in front of her, but she saw Tsukiki struggling, especially when Tsukiki raised the Kusanagi sword.

"Feel sorry."

Tsukiki spoke again, raising his Kusanagi sword and piercing Amamiya Kotone's heart.

As she pulled it out, Kotone Amamiya's eyes lit up for a moment.

"My Lord!"

With a slight smile on her face, Kotone Amamiya's body went limp.

The restraints were released, and the sound of Amamiya Koto fell. Tsukiki gently caught it and then gently placed it on the ground.

It's not an illusion!

Everything Yue Shu saw was not an illusion.

In that instant, Ushita and Amamiya Kotone came back to life!

Just like a thousand years ago, they have fulfilled their duties as guardians of the sacred tree from beginning to end, and they remember that responsibility.

Even if this was all a hoax, a hoax created by Himegami Tsukiki to seek power in order to protect her loved ones.

Looking up at the moon tree, the sky above Loulan was already filled with the smoke of battle; large and small battles had almost destroyed the place.

Those towers, buildings, and roads were all in ruins, swept away by the war and destroyed overnight.

He sighed—

Tsukiki laid out the bodies of Amamiya Kotone and Ushita Yori next to each other, and then bowed.

Turning his back, the moon tree began to move.

The matter is not over yet; he still has things to do.

The smoke of war in Loulan should stop now.

Chapter 171: The Final Battle

“Everyone stay here, An Lushan can’t get in from here.”

Sarah looked at her people and finally brought them here.
