Naruto: I get stronger by drawing lots

The system spoke slowly.

"It sounds very prestigious, but I still don't understand why I was called here."

Yue Shu frowned. He felt his head was throbbing, as if many things were rushing around, making his head not only dizzy but also causing some pain.

"You should have already felt it."

As soon as the system finished speaking, Yue Shu suddenly knelt down, and the light in her eyes vanished.

"call!"

In no time, Yue Shu recovered, panting heavily and covered in cold sweat.

What was that just now?

Yue Shu's hands were trembling. He saw it. Just a moment ago, countless overlapping images flashed by, like a revolving lantern.

Inside was Yue Shu himself, along with many people he knew well.

Minato, Kushina, Mikoto, Onoshi, Sago, Jiraiya—all the people he knew were among them.

but--

The scenes inside were not pleasant; almost everyone was filled with worry.

Finally, amidst everyone's tears and sobs, Yue Shu saw one last scene:

That's him!

Yue Shu lay on the ground, covered in blood, with her eyes closed.

The image flashes again, showing a tombstone with several large characters written on it:

The Grave of Himegami Tsuki-ki —

Yue Shu himself is dead!

"Is this me?"

Yue Shu remained silent for a while, then slowly recovered.

The Himegami Tsukiki he knew did not represent himself. Tsukiki was him, but Himegami Tsukiki was the guy from a thousand years ago.

"Undeniable."

Despite the system's words, Yue Shu's heart remained surprisingly calm.

"This is the link between the past and the future, right? Does that mean my future self is dead?"

"Yes and no."

"Hey, you're still playing riddles at a time like this?"

Tsukiki made a comment.

"Those are things you've been through."

The system's next sentence shocked Yue Shu even more.

"What I've been through, are you saying I've already died once?"

"No."

"Then what—"

"More than once."

"it is good--"

Yue Shu stiffened, her expression changed, and she became serious.

Did I succeed?

Yue Shu remained silent for a while before speaking.

"What do you think?"

"That's true, otherwise I wouldn't be here."

Tsukiki chuckled self-deprecatingly.

"Can't you say it?"

"This is the price."

That's really troublesome.

Yue Shu scratched his head.

"But is my current confused and blurry memory also a price to pay?"

"That's part of the reason."

Yue Shu's head-scratching motion was a little too forceful.

"This is really making me anxious, damn it!"

Tsukiki gritted her teeth.

"It seems the objective has been achieved."

"Well, this kind of news isn't exactly good."

"Those are all your choices. Everything I do is to help you, and I will accompany you on the path you take."

"Feel sorry."

"I have ten seconds left before I go into hibernation. If this happens again, please remember to call me, host."

"System, you're surprisingly a good person."

"The system is not a person."

Yue Shu grinned, and the light emanating from her body gradually increased and brightened.

"This time it will definitely succeed, this is the turning point, right?"

Tsukiki's smile was very confident.

"May your martial arts prosper, host—"

The system's voice paused briefly before being transmitted as the Moon Tree disappeared.

A flash of light, and the Moon Tree's consciousness returned from the future to reality.

Sarah's face was right in front of me, her worried eyes reflected in them.

"Are you alright, Mr. Tsukiki?"

Yue Shu laughed.

"What Mr. Moon Tree? Just call him Moon Tree."

"Looks like everything's alright now."

Sarah smiled.

Yue Shu moved her hands and feet; the wounds had healed considerably, and she could at least stand up.

Moon Tree stood up and jumped a few times, while Sarah watched from the side.

"what happened?"

"No, I just think Naruto looks a bit like you."

"That's the feeling I have."

Yue Shu smiled gently.

"Naruto, that's true."

The moon tree begins to move.

"Let's go, we still have a lot to do."

"Loulan is already half destroyed, and the Queen of Loulan is having a very hard time."

Yue Shu made a joke, which made Sarah chuckle.

"As long as the person is still alive, that's all that matters."

This is Sarah's most honest opinion: everything is fine, it's really great!

Moon Tree glanced at Sarah, then looked away and walked forward.

First, we need to bring out the people who have taken refuge in Loulan, and then we need to clean up the battlefield.

The most important thing is to bring those guys back. They're probably all lying in different places now.

"There are still many troubles ahead."

Yue Shu walked slowly, his cloak completely tattered, and half of his body stained with blood.

After so long, constantly on missions, Tsukiki can finally get some rest now.

In the future, Naruto and his friends lie among the ruins of Loulan.

Everyone was exhausted and they were all asleep with their eyes closed.

The dragon vein will eventually erase the memories from this time gap, and even Minato and the others will be no exception.

At that time, perhaps no one except Moon Tree and Sara would have known that such a great battle had taken place in the ancient city of Loulan.

In the gaps of time, she alone remembers the stories of time that are real yet unknown. This is the blessing of the dragon vein, and also its curse, for the Queen of Loulan.

Moon Tree looked at Sarah, who was surrounded by her people, and remained silent.

He wouldn't say that he wouldn't forget this memory because of the system; it was something he couldn't say, and shouldn't say.

Everything after that was simple.

With Minato and Kushina by their side, there was only one thing left for them to do—return to their home.

The task has been successfully completed; now it's time to treat myself.

Onoshi and Sasashi also woke up. They took the bodies of Ushida and Amamiya Kotone with them, as they were their companions.

Sara will then lead the people of Loulan to begin their relocation.
