Naruto: I get stronger by drawing lots

With a thought, Minato transformed into a golden light and vanished from the spot.

"Spiral pills!"

In the blink of an eye, Minato was already beside the convoy, his Rasengan already in place. He headed toward the "ordinary person" in the convoy who made him feel something was wrong.

Ninjas do not kill civilians; this is an unspoken rule, even in war.

Minato's gaze remained unchanged as he stared straight at the "commoner" in front of him, causing the "commoner" to panic slightly.

When life is at stake, everyone feels the same way. Apart from a few exceptions, who can be fearless in the face of death?

"Water Release: Whirlpool".

The "commoner" in front of him suddenly began to use ninjutsu, and Minato just smiled.

His control over chakra is naturally top-notch; having used the Rasengan for so long, he's confident it will dissipate before it hits.

Unexpectedly, the other side couldn't hold out so quickly. Minato was even prepared to miss his target to avoid actually injuring civilians.

Since that's the case, it's perfect. Minato doesn't even need to stop now, and can even increase the force.

Just as he was about to throw the Rasengan, a vortex suddenly appeared beneath his feet, seemingly trying to engulf Minato. Clearly, the person in front of him was aiming for mutual destruction, judging from the extreme force of the vortex.

Minato also saw through this idea, and the person in front of him also showed a hint of madness. He knew that he couldn't dodge this wave in time, so he might as well take Minato down with him.

Unfortunately—Minato is no ordinary person; he is the fastest ninja in the world today.

With a flash of golden light, Minato's figure vanished completely, returning to his previous position, right in front of him as he watched himself devour himself.

"No!"

The scream echoed for a moment, then abruptly stopped. This was the first time Minato had ever seen such a bizarre way of dying—he had killed himself.

However bizarre it may be, the commotion here was quite significant, and everyone noticed Minato.

"Blonde hair, that speed, this guy! He's Konoha's Golden Flash."

Minato's features were still quite distinctive, and the enemy recognized him immediately.

Minato shrugged, then his eyes changed, turning cold.

In war, those on different sides are adversaries. Being merciful to the enemy is being cruel to oneself. Minato knew this, so naturally he would never allow the enemy to go unpunished.

I'm sorry.

Minato threw out several Flying Thunder God kunai, which collided with each other and then scattered outwards.

From that moment on, this area belonged to Watergate.

Don't underestimate people!

This is a Cloud Village ninja with the strength of a Jonin, and he is obviously quite capable, but his opponent is Minato, the famous Yellow Flash who is renowned throughout the ninja world!

"Wind Release: Kunai".

Minato hurled a kunai, the wind-attribute power within it allowing it to pierce through countless objects. Not only that, its speed increased dramatically, amplifying its power many times over.

Thus, kunai and shuriken with added chakra attribute transformations gradually became a means of attack for Minato, as they consumed little energy and were of first-rate power.

The enemies, seeing that he had only thrown a kunai, initially laughed, but in the next moment, their laughter turned into terror.

Right after a bang!

The Jonin who had just been there sensed something was wrong and dodged in time. The kunai grazed past him, scratching him, while the person behind him was ripped open with a large hole in their abdomen.

Blood spurted out directly; not just one person, but many others had holes torn in their bodies, with their intestines and blood gushing out together.

The kunai finally landed on the ground, blasting open a large crater. Wind energy surged out from within, sweeping around and injuring many more people.

Everyone's eyes were filled with terror, because just this one kunai was enough to scatter so many of them, and even kill or injure most of them.

"Ninja Technique: Youtang."

Taking advantage of this moment, Minato finished forming hand seals and slammed both palms onto the ground.

Before the enemy could react, the ground beneath their feet began to soften, and their feet sank in. It was sticky and viscous.

"This is... oil?"

Upon realizing this, the Jonin's expression changed, and he immediately began to struggle.

And at this moment, the water gate—

"Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique".

No need for advanced fire techniques, a little fire is enough.

"Combined Ninjutsu: Sea of ​​Fire".

The oil pit in front of them burst into flames, and the people on it were stuck and had no time to escape. The flames swept over them, accompanied by screams of agony.

"what!"

Only one Jonin managed to break free, leaping into the air and escaping the inferno.

He had just caught his breath when a shadow flashed past the corner of his eye.

With fear in his eyes, he looked in the corner of his eye—there stood a uniquely shaped kunai.

Normally it would be fine, but this time, he encountered the Golden Flash!

Sure enough, in an instant, golden flashes filled his eyes, and he could see nothing at all!

"Spiral pills!"

A sharp pain shot through my lower back, as if I were being ground in a meat grinder. Then, I saw the sky flash by for a moment, and finally, I was enveloped by raging flames filling my vision.

Now, all the pain caught up with him and made him experience it clearly.

"Ahhhh!"

He screamed, then stopped abruptly, leaving only a faint echo in the air.

The flames continued to burn, igniting the supplies in the convoy as well.

After watching for a while, Minato withdrew his Flying Thunder God kunai and disappeared again in a flash of light.

Chapter 195: The Outbreak of War

"Have the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Mist Village cooperated?"

Minato brought back the intelligence from the Konoha camp.

Without a doubt, those so-called civilians in Kumogakure were nothing more than people planted by Kirigakure.

"It seems the other side has made some moves."

Orochimaru wore a smile that held a strange meaning, as he always had.

Yue Shu and the others watched the group quietly.

The commander-in-chief here is Minato, who, as the captain of the Anbu, naturally has the qualifications.

"Minato, we clashed with Kumogakure again recently. If what you're saying is true, then we'll probably have another battle soon. They probably won't hide it anymore and will attack openly."

Kurenai Yuhi was speaking from the side, while Minato listened quietly.

"Be prepared for battle and keep a close eye on the movements of the Hidden Mist. Neither side can let their guard down. Since the other side is hiding, they won't leave us with anything good."

Minato tapped on the table and began to give orders.

"How is Sunagakure doing now?"

Having just given the order, Minato began asking questions again. Kirigakure and Kumogakure are against Konoha, and Iwagakure is against Sunagakure. That seems to be the division of labor at present, but it's hard to say for sure. After all, in war, everything is about interests.

"Based on the intelligence that came back a few days ago, Sunagakure's defenses are currently very strong, and Iwagakure is still unable to break through them, resulting in a stalemate. It is worth mentioning that Iwagakure has not deployed a large number of troops, which may indicate that they are planning other actions."

Nara Shikazu was delivering the information; his intelligence was so high that he basically memorized all the intelligence after reading it.

"Keep your attention. Okay, meeting adjourned. Everyone, continue with your duties."

After the discussion ended, Minato waved his hand and adjourned the meeting.

"As expected of you."

Yue Shu dispersed like everyone else, but continued to stay put.

He is the most special one here. Mikoto and Kushina both have their own things to do, but he has nothing to do. What he has to do is come later.

Minato looked at Tsuki, and finally sighed: "It's a bit troublesome. The Tsuchikage of Iwagakure is a cautious person, and there are two Otsutsuki people controlling Kirigakure. Now we have no idea what they are planning."

Minato expressed his concerns; after all, he was the commander-in-chief, and giving the wrong orders could result in countless deaths and injuries. This pressure constantly weighed on Minato's head.

Tsukiki patted Minato on the shoulder.

"You are the Fourth Hokage, this little difficulty is nothing, you can't give up."

Minato gave Tsukiki his usual smile: "Is there even a question?"

At that moment, however, a considerable commotion suddenly broke out outside.

At this sensitive time, Tsukiki and Minato immediately ran out.

As soon as I stepped outside, I saw several familiar faces walking over. They had long white hair, wore wooden clogs, and were accompanied by two beautiful women, one of whom looked mature and the other was just the right age for a young girl.

It was Jiraiya, along with Tsunade and Shizune. At this critical moment, they all rushed back together, which can be considered a lifesaver.

"Jiraiya-sensei! And Tsunade-sama and Shizune."

Minato was overjoyed. With two more Kage-level powerhouses joining the party, his pressure was greatly reduced. Shizune's strength was still unknown, but it should be at the Jonin level. The sudden addition of three powerful individuals boosted Konoha's morale.

"Yo, Minato, it's been a long time."

Jiraiya greeted him with a smile. Tsunade, standing beside him, also waved.

"You little rascal, give me a proper welcome back."

As soon as she arrived, Tsunade punched Tsukiki on the head. Even though Tsukiki had reached the Kage level, the punch still made a loud thud.

Yue Shu was helpless. He couldn't lay a hand on this woman, could he? He could only accept his fate.

Soon, news spread that Jiraiya and Tsunade had returned, and before long, many people, all of whom were on good terms with the two, came over.

Kushina and Mikoto were also there, catching up with Tsunade. Women naturally have a lot to talk about, and they were having quite a lively conversation.

Just as they finished reminiscing, Jiraiya changed his expression and said something to Tsuki and Minato with a serious look.

This one sentence has cast a great deal of uncertainty over the war.
