Naruto: I get stronger by drawing lots

The Lost Tower is the location of the Dragon Vein and also the refuge of Loulan. Protected by the Dragon Vein, it is the safest place, and only the kings of past dynasties could open it.

Sarah walked to the door, touched it, and the door began to close.

"Wait, Your Majesty."

All the people in front of her looked at Sarah, who was covered in dust and dirt.

"Come back soon, let's start over together. Loulan can't be without its queen."

As the woman spoke, a smile graced her face, and everyone's eyes were fixed on her, remaining silent, for she had already said everything that needed to be said.

Sarah's eyes also welled up with tears.

"Ah."

pang!

The door was closed.

"must!"

Sarah clenched her fists, took a breath, and rallied herself.

There's just a little bit left, just one more thing she needs to do.

She pulled out a kunai, Minato's Flying Thunder God kunai, which he had given to her at the very beginning to protect her, and also because Minato had guessed something about her.

Inside is a sealing technique used by Minato and Kushina together, plus Sara's own; the triple seal is enough to solve this problem.

As they began to move, a voice came from above.

"Sarah!!!"

That was An Lushan's voice, and the Lost Tower trembled. Sarah almost lost her footing.

The commotion above was enormous.

With a loud bang, An Lushan's enormous voice came from above. Sarah was at the bottom, with a long flight of stairs still to go.

"Don't even think about it!"

An Lushan's voice was filled with a roar!

"The same to you!"

Naruto's voice came through, instantly calming Sara's panicked heart.

boom!

"Spiral pills!"

Naruto crashed right into An Lushan!

Gravel kept falling on Sarah's head. Sarah suppressed her fear and moved her feet to avoid the gravel.

boom!

The falling pebbles created a gust of wind that sent Sarah tumbling to the side.

Sarah struggled to dodge the stones, one by one, but was also scratched by quite a few small pebbles.

My legs, waist, face, and hands are covered in small wounds.

"You brat!!"

An Lushan threw a punch, and Naruto, who couldn't react quickly enough, was sent flying, his body crashing into the wall.

An Lushan's body leaped down quickly, and Naruto wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and rushed out of the wall with a shout.

"Don't get in Sarah's way!"

"Spiral Chain Ball!"

Naruto gritted his teeth, formed a Rasengan in each hand, and charged down.

boom!

Naruto charged headfirst down, simultaneously unleashing Rasengans from both hands, managing to hold An Lushan back.

An Lushan was not seriously injured, and with a swift backhand, he struck Naruto with even greater force.

Naruto crashed into the wall again.

"Cough cough cough."

An Lushan's fist continued to come down, this time he pressed his advantage and intended to finish Naruto off in one fell swoop.

"Naruto!"

Sarah cried out in alarm.

"You are the Queen of Loulan, right!"

Naruto used both his hands and feet to block An Lushan's continuous attacks.

boom!

Naruto laughed, his teeth stained red with blood.

"Go and protect Loulan properly, you queen!"

With chakra imbued into his fist, An Lushan's punch would cripple Naruto, if not kill him.

But Naruto was already dizzy at that moment and had no way to dodge.

"Lightning Release: Falling Thunder Peak".

The sound of thunder came down, followed by lightning that struck down directly, severing An Lushan's attack, including his arm!

"It's not over yet, Naruto! Don't lose."

As Tsukiki's figure descended, he spoke to Naruto.

"You are!"

Naruto's spirits were lifted once again.

"One by one!"

An Lushan's voice was filled with immense rage. In the next moment, An Lushan's body transformed, and sharp spikes emerged from his body.

"Wood Release: Wood Pillar".

There were many spikes, all aimed at Yue Shu and An Lushan.

Tsuki completed the hand seals, sending Naruto flying before he could react, allowing Naruto to dodge the attack, while Naruto himself didn't have enough time to react.

He raised the Kusanagi sword directly.

Yue Shu blocked the attack, but her side abdomen was still slashed open, and a lot of blood gushed out. She was slammed into the wall by the stab and dragged along, leaving a bloody mark on the wall that was too painful to look at.

"Uncle Moon Tree!"

Naruto looked at Tsuki, who had escaped a disaster because of him, but was now injured because of him, and his expression turned guilty.

"Naruto—"

"The protagonist of Jiraiya-sensei's novel, 'The Root of Ninja'."

Tsukiki spoke slowly and deliberately, explaining that "The Tale of the Rooted Ninja" was the first novel Jiraiya wrote during his travels in the ninja world, and the protagonist's name was Naruto.

"Naruto is—"

"A person who never gives up."

Yue Shu's voice was soft; she no longer had the strength to speak.

This "Naruto" is a double entendre, referring to both Uzumaki Naruto and that other Naruto.

"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"

Naruto completed the hand seals, and one after another, shadow clones rushed towards An Lushan.

And the moon tree's body also fell down.

"Ouch, that really hurts!"

"hateful."

Tsukiki fell down the stairs and lay there.

He tried to get back to his feet, while Naruto was dragging An Lushan away from nearby.

As the number of clones kept piling up, both the shadow clones and the main body were constantly being knocked away and scattered by An Lushan.

However, Naruto will never give up!

"what!"

Naruto shouted and charged forward again and again, while Sara also reached the entrance to the Dragon Vein.

"Can't open it—"

Sarah watched as the door began to respond, but still did not open it.

"why?"

"Open it!"

Sarah pounded on the door in front of her, her anxiety growing.

boom!

Naruto flew down directly. Although he kept delaying An Lushan's advance, he was helpless against an enemy who was neither dead nor indestructible. Coupled with An Lushan's swift attacks, it was a miracle that Naruto hadn't died.

Naruto dragged out the bloodstains. At this moment, Naruto was also covered in wounds, with half of his body stained with blood.

"not yet!"

Naruto propped himself up, and Sara was right behind him.

"Naruto—"

Sara almost cried when she saw Naruto like this.

"Open it!"

Sarah stuck a kunai into the crack in the door, tears streaming down her face.
