Naruto: I get stronger by drawing lots

Yue Shu recited a sentence, and just then, a figure rushed in from outside the door.

Even with a mask on, you can tell who it is at a glance.

Kakashi, that guy is incredibly fast. Tsukiju immediately got up, dodged under the table, and then planned to go out the window.

"We've been tricked!"

Kakashi called out, and at that moment, another Kakashi jumped out of the window.

It's a shadow clone, but whether the one that grabbed him is a shadow clone or the one by the window is a shadow clone is unknown.

Tsukiki drew his Kusanagi sword, hilt and all, and thrust it forward without a word.

That one move directly shattered Kakashi's figure outside the window.

"You're still too green!"

Tsukiki burst out and jumped away. Kakashi had no way to catch up; he simply couldn't match Tsukiki's physical strength.

The simplest and clearest comparison is that Tsuki's body is like having opened the Eight Gates, while Kakashi's is just normal.

It's not surprising that many of the Moon Tree cultivators specialize in physical techniques.

"hateful!"

Kakashi continued the chase; he wasn't about to surrender so easily.

Yue Shu leaped into the air, and several shuriken flew over with her. In the blink of an eye, Lin's figure was standing on the rooftop next to her.

"Wind Release: Great Whirlwind".

As Rin began to form hand seals, Obito's voice came from the other side.

"game over!"

"We won."

Yue Shu glanced at the two of them, a slight smile on her face.

The shuriken was thrown by Obito; the Uchiha clan's shuriken technique was still excellent.

But who is Yue Shu? He is a swordsman whose swordsmanship has reached the level of a sword saint.

Kyo Kusanagi still hadn't drawn his sword from its hilt when Rin's whirlwind rushed over.

"One shot."

Pirate Hunter Roronoa Zoro has a move.

"tornado."

"How is that possible!"

Without using chakra, he created the effect of wind release solely through swordsmanship, and with great power, he dispersed the shuriken along with the whirlwind that rushed towards him.

"Is it possible to use ninjutsu without chakra?"

This was something Kakashi and his friends had never considered; they couldn't even imagine such a thing.

However, this is indeed true, and it's not just an isolated case like the Moon Tree.

The same applies to Might Guy, who, as people know, reached a certain level in taijutsu, which allowed him to use it as ninjutsu.

Morning Peacock, Daytime Tiger, and even Night Guy, who almost ended the series with a single kick, these are not ninjutsu, but genuine taijutsu.

When people think of ninjas, they think of ninjutsu. Taijutsu is not valued. However, people do not realize that mastering taijutsu is the basic requirement for becoming a strong person.

Looking around, ninja battles aren't all about ninjutsu; most of them involve taijutsu (physical combat).

"Eat my punch!"

A familiar voice reached his ears, and Yue Shu paused for a moment before a red figure rushed forward.

It was the person he was thinking of, Kushina, and no one else.

Right now, she's the only red-haired beauty in the entire Hidden Leaf Village.

Tsukiju didn't expect that Kakashi and his two companions would actually find Kushina to help them.

Kushina possessed genuine Kage-level strength. Even without chakra, her reputation as the Red Hot Chili Pepper wasn't earned through chakra or ninjutsu.

Raising his hand, he held up the Kusanagi sword, the hilt of which blocked the punch. The force of the punch was so great that Tsukiki's body was forced to the side.

The moon tree let itself fly freely, without any worries, and now it was just the right moment to use the momentum to slip away.

But the next moment, a subtle glint flashed in his eyes.

Kusanagi sword was drawn directly from its hilt, and Tsukiju slashed behind him with the sword.

There, a line was severed, and the attached chakra was very familiar.

"Mikoto——"

Tsukiki glanced around and quickly spotted Mikoto below with a smile.

It seems that this line was her doing.

It's good that Kushina was won over, but I didn't expect Mikoto to be won over as well.

However, Kushina and Mikoto are best friends, so there's nothing wrong with that.

Yue Shu gradually realized that her idea of ​​getting the other party to find help had probably backfired spectacularly.

After all, they didn't specify the number of people; even a lot of ants can kill an elephant.

Chapter 178: The Game Ends

"Minato, there's been some commotion in Sunagakure lately, they seem a bit panicked. Go check it out."

That night, Minato was urgently summoned to the Hokage's office.

"Sunagakure?"

The water gate suddenly opened:

"You mean there's something that could change?"

The Sand Village originally did not support the outbreak of war because, as it stands, their combat strength is not high. If war breaks out, they might not only lose everything, but be completely devoured.

So Sunagakure and Konoha can be considered to have reached an agreement, since neither of them supports war.

Since their war was aimed at Konoha, Konoha naturally wouldn't be foolish enough to offer itself up for attack.

The cooperation between Sunagakure and Konoha, and Kirigakure's withdrawal from the war effort due to the combined efforts of Sakumo Hashirama and Akatsuki, though Konoha was unaware of this.

Under such circumstances, war was indeed successfully avoided. After all, if Iwagakure and Kumogakure had resolutely launched a war under such circumstances, they would have only suffered the consequences themselves.

In a two-on-one situation, unless Iwagakure and Kumogakure also reach an agreement, but that is not very realistic, as neither side has any shared interests.

The Third Shinobi World War was thus delayed for some time, but now, this period is probably almost over.

The commotion in Sunagakure couldn't be kept secret from those around them; Konoha noticed it early in the morning.

"The Kazekage of Sunagakure has gone missing. Just a few days ago, when you were on a mission to Loulan."

The Third Hokage slowly explained in detail, while Minato's expression was somewhat strange.

Because he had no memory of the time in Loulan, but he was clear that he had indeed completed the mission.

"If things go as expected, this matter will probably end up being the last thing we want to see."

Putting aside his thoughts, Minato listened attentively to the speech of the Third Hokage in front of him.

"We must consider the death of the Third Kazekage. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Kazekage of a village to leave a village there for so long."

Minato listened quietly, his expression turning serious.

The deaths of an entire village's inhabitants are no joke.

Shadows will certainly die, but they only die after a generation has changed.

If a Kage dies while in power, the village under his jurisdiction will face pressure from all sides.

For a village, a shadow is a deterrent force.

Just like nuclear weapons in the previous life, once you possess nuclear weapons, your status will rise sharply, at least you won't be dependent on others or oppressed by them.

Furthermore, the Kage of Sunagakure are still missing, which makes the problem even bigger.

It's highly likely that it was an assassination. If a Shadow could be assassinated, it would indirectly expose the village's lack of strength.

Those who lack strength will be devoured; the law of the jungle prevails over the weak—this is an age-old truth.

When the Third Hokage was attacked and killed by Orochimaru in the original story, Konoha was not threatened. That was because Konoha's apparent strength was already too great, so they were not so weak that anyone would dare to attack them.

"Please."

"Watergate".

The Third Hokage looked at Minato solemnly, his eyes also filled with gravity.

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

Minato accepted the mission, a secret mission known only to them: to spy on the specific situation in Sunagakure.

The war has been delayed for some time, but even so, it will still come, even if it is late, because people have longed for it, so it has come.

Minato used Flying Thunder God Technique and vanished from the Hokage's office, leaving only the Third Hokage behind.

The moonlight shone softly, making it look so gentle and light.

"Hey."

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed. He knew that the war probably couldn't be dragged out any longer, and the coming period would be another cold and desolate time.

"I hope that's not the case."

He could only hope for that, but it was ultimately just wishful thinking, a fact that Hiruzen Sarutobi knew all too well.

"I wonder how Minato is doing now?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the village from the balcony of the Hokage Building and muttered something under his breath.

boom!

Just as Hiruzen Sarutobi took a puff from his pipe and exhaled, the village in front of him suddenly exploded, startling him so much that he almost threw his pipe away.

"what's the situation?"
