Naruto: I get stronger by drawing lots

Kushina complained that while they had been training hard these past few days, Tsukiki had been sleeping soundly on the side.

"Haha, that's true."

Mikoto smiled gently.

"But he's very reliable; he's never asleep whenever I need help."

"Hmph, it's barely passable, I guess."

Tsukiki was unaware that Mikoto and Kushina were talking about him behind his back; he had already reached the teacher's office.

Pushing open the door, the view of the office comes into view.

"Eh?"

"Hey, it's been a long time since I've seen Tsukiki."

Tsukiki was stunned for a moment. Even he hadn't expected that Jiraiya and Minato Namikaze would be in the office.

"How's school life going, kid?"

Jiraiya also saw Tsukiki, turned around and said something to him.

"Let's stick with the old way, but that's not right!"

What are you doing here?

Tsukiki quickly scanned the area but didn't find anyone other than Jiraiya and Minato Namikaze.

"No need to look anymore, I'm the one looking for you."

Upon hearing Jiraiya's voice, Tsukiki focused his gaze on Jiraiya.

"then."

Jiraiya suddenly threw something at him, and Tsukiki caught it.

"Alright, that's done. Remove the water gate."

"what?"

Seeing that Jiraiya and Minato were about to leave, Tsukiki immediately spoke up.

"What's going on? This thing—"

Just as I was about to show what I had in my hand for a closer look, Jiraiya's voice stopped me.

"I think you can take another look at that thing by yourself later."

As Jiraiya's voice faded, Tsukiki's movements ceased.

"What do you mean?"

Tsukiki's voice also softened considerably, and he glanced at Jiraiya.

"That's your problem, see for yourself."

After Jiraiya finished speaking, he walked out of the office.

Minato Namikaze followed behind, making an apologetic gesture.

"I'm sorry, I'm not sure either. Jiraiya-sensei didn't tell anyone."

Minato Namikaze spoke softly, and Jiraiya was already outside urging him on. With no other option, Minato had to run out after him.

The footsteps faded away as Yue Shu slowly unfolded what she was holding.

What catches the eye is a token. The token feels substantial in the hand and looks very old, exuding a strong sense of history.

Tsukiki's breathing became heavier.

This wasn't because I saw an antique, but because there were words engraved on the token.

Himegami!

That was the surname of the body that was Yue Shu.

The token was engraved with the words "Himegami," and a third of the token was stained with a dark red color, including the words "Himegami."

Yue Shu stood there, stunned for a long time before finally letting out a somewhat self-deprecating smile.

Hey!

God, is this really Naruto?

This was the first time Yue Shu had such a thought.

The things he had previously ignored and never thought about deeply have finally come to the fore.

When did I travel to this world? And why?

Why is it that the only thing I remember after transmigrating is my name? In the end, I had never heard of the surname Tsukishiki, Himegami, in my previous life.

At first glance, he might just be an ordinary civilian, but now the theory that he was a moon tree has been shattered.

Without a doubt, Yue Shu's current body is not that of an ordinary person, but as to what it is, Yue Shu has absolutely no idea.

From the time he transmigrated to his first battle, Tsukiki encountered many strange things.

After killing that Rain Ninja for the first time, Tsukiki truly felt the reality of this world.

This is not the so-called anime Naruto, not the Naruto that exists across a screen and a dimension, but a real, existing world.

"Moon Tree, how is it? What did the teacher say?"

While Tsukiki was still lost in thought, Kushina had already come knocking on his door.

"Huh? Kushina, what are you doing here?"

"Why? School's already over, and everyone should be getting ready for special training. Honestly, I don't know what they're doing. There aren't any teachers here, so why are they just standing here?"

Tsukiki quietly put the token away. Kushina didn't see anything, but she was stunned because Tsukiki was standing there dumbfounded.

"Is school over already?"

"That's not it."

"Let's go for special training together, we don't have much time."

Ignoring Kushina, Tsukiki started moving and slowly pushed her away.

"and many more."

Kushina was passively pushed along by Tsukiki, completely unaware of what was happening.

"You actually took the initiative to drag us to special training?"

Kushina looked on in disbelief.

Although it was Tsukiki who suggested graduating early, Kushina found it unbelievable that Tsukiki spent half of his special training time sleeping.

"Why don't I know how? Let's go, let's go."

Tsukiki gave a weak reply, then pushed Kushina away.

Kushina had no choice but to be pushed along by Tsukiki.

What she didn't know was that the moon tree behind her didn't have its usual lazy expression, but rather a calm one.

Yue Shu's eyes seemed to shine, staring intently ahead, her gaze not only fixed on the red figure before her.

Deviating from the original storyline and involving things not described in Naruto, Tsukiki couldn't quite explain his feelings.

Even though this body isn't strictly hers, she still has a strong attachment to it.

A kind of persistence from the depths of the soul.

This became even more apparent after seeing the token engraved with Himegami's name.

Tsukiki could clearly feel his heart beating faster than ever before.

Tsukiki secretly took a deep breath, and finally made his decision.

We must find out the reason for Himegami's obsession. If this body belonged to the original owner of Himegami, then Tsukiki would also have an obligation to help him fulfill it.

Once you've made up your mind and set your goals, the next step will naturally follow.

It's very simple. Jiraiya, who gave me this token, definitely knows something, even if it's very little, but he knows more than I do.

Thinking this, Yue Shu's eyes became unusually serious, though only for a moment.

Chapter Twenty: The Next Step

"Moon Tree, Moon Tree!"

An excited voice suddenly came from my sleep. I was about to slowly open my eyes, but the next second Yue Shu woke up abnormally.

"Wind Release, Great Breakthrough".

The girl's voice reached his ears. Yue Shu was still a little confused, and before he could even open his eyes to see what was in front of him, he was blown away.

Like a kite with a broken string, the moon tree was blown away without warning and crashed into a tree.

The thud was quite loud, so loud that even the tree that was hit shook for a while.

"It hurts."

Yue Shu covered the back of her head.

His eyes still held a blank look, and he seemed half-asleep.

"What happened?"

Yue Shu slowly stood up.

Just as he stood up, Tsukiki saw Kushina pouting.

Her red hair was streaked with beads of fragrant sweat, and her eyes were fixed on Yue Shu, making Yue Shu feel somewhat uncomfortable.

"Kushina, what's wrong?"

Yue Shu asked cautiously. As someone who had lived for decades, Yue Shu knew all too well that you shouldn't try to reason with a girl. No matter what, it was always her fault.

"Humph."

Kushina snorted and did not answer Tsukiki.

"------"
