Naruto: I get stronger by drawing lots

"Xiaohui is making some moves, as if they want something."

Tsukiki and Minato were taken aback, especially Tsukiki.

If what Jiraiya said is true, then the actions of the Otsutsuki clan will definitely not be small. Akatsuki and the Otsutsuki clan have similar actions, and both are pursuing the same things.

Tsukiki and Minato frowned, both aware of the importance of the matter and the many things involved.

"report!"

Just then, another ninja ran over, looking hurried and anxious.

"what happened?"

Minato asked the question, while Tsukiki and the others watched from the side.

The ninja in front of him caught his breath, took a deep breath, and began to speak:

"The Hidden Cloud Village has launched a full-scale attack and has already begun operations. Their offensive is very rapid."

As soon as he finished speaking, an explosion came from not far away.

So fast?

Minato and Tsukiki exchanged a glance as they watched the smoke rise.

"Immediately dispatch other troops to provide support."

However, in such a short time, the commotion was quite great, with explosions one after another.

"It's very likely that they've already laid an ambush, and now is the perfect time to launch a full-scale attack. No need for support. Tsunade and I will go there, but be careful, they might find another opening."

Jiraiya chimed in, interrupting Minato. He had also served as a commander, and his words gave Minato pause for thought.

"Please, Jiraiya-sensei."

Minato pondered for a moment and nodded. Jiraiya then grabbed Tsunade and Shizune and ran towards the source of the smoke.

"Let's both go help."

Kushina and Mikoto stood there, looking at Minato and Tsukiki, seemingly wanting to help as well.

"Wait."

Tsukiki directly rejected their request, turning her gaze to the reporting ninja:

Have you seen the enemy?

"Is the Third Mizukage here? Is there a strangely dressed man with very pale skin and the White Eyes?"

After asking a series of questions, the ninja in front of him shook his head.

"report!"

Just as Yue Shu was starting to think, another voice came from behind.

boom!

The ground trembled beneath my feet as another plume of smoke rose, this time not from the previous spot, but from a great distance on the other side.

Simply put, two positions were attacked simultaneously.

"A large number of Hidden Mist ninjas have been discovered launching an attack in the northwest direction, and our forces are currently engaged in combat."

Minato glanced at Tsukiki, who immediately realized what was happening.

"Kushina, Mikoto, let's go provide support!"

Since it's an attack from Kirigakure, there's a high chance there will be Otsutsuki present. Whether it's one or two is uncertain, but Tsukijutsu is currently the only one they can defeat one-on-one; the others are no match for him. So, the only option is to head towards Tsukijutsu.

"report!"

"News from the front lines indicates that during intelligence gathering, it was discovered that Iwagakure and Kumogakure forces were engaging in combat within Iwagakure's territory. Iwagakure has since withdrawn its troops from Sunagakure."

One message after another arrived, and everything came together in a parallel procession.

Minato understood now; the flames of war had truly begun, and the conflict had erupted.

Chapter 196: Accepting the Challenge

The air was filled with shouts of battle, and ninjutsu of all five elements flew everywhere. One ninja after another fell to the ground, their blood staining the land.

The land beneath our feet has been almost completely turned over, and it's still being turned over to this day.

"Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet Technique".

A Konoha ninja slit an enemy's throat with a kunai, causing the enemy's face to splatter with blood. But at that moment, another enemy launched an attack on him.

No one cared about this situation; most people were barely able to protect themselves and were risking their lives to protect Konoha—their homeland.

The ground was frigid, and a dragon head emerged, its blood-red maw gaping wide as it charged toward him.

The next moment will be the moment when life ends!

"Ninja Technique: The Lion's Mane Technique."

The white hair swept over, shattering the charging earth dragon, and a tall figure landed in front of him.

With long white hair, wooden clogs, and oil stains on her face, who wouldn't recognize such a unique image?

"Lord Jiraiya!"

“That’s right, Jiraiya, the toad sage of Mount Myōboku.”

After Jiraiya introduced himself, his long white hair stretched out over him.

It's just simple white hair, yet it can break through ninjutsu and defenses, it's omnipotent, and its attack power is extremely strong.

Jiraiya, the Toad Sage, has now joined the battlefield!

"Lady Tsunade!"

On the other side, Tsunade also made a strong entry, her monstrous punch immediately opening the eyes of the enemy.

"Really!"

Tsunade's expression was somewhat grim. Her hemophobia had improved considerably; she was just still adjusting to it. Tsunade's hemophobia had improved far too much since Tsukiki's arrival.

"Are you okay?"

Silent wasn't a combatant; she was currently treating the wounded.

"Spirit Spell!"

Looking around, Tsunade bit her finger and used her blood to summon her summoning beast, a slug.

This is a spirit beast from one of the three great immortal lands. Although the slug has no fighting ability, its healing ability is exceptional.

"Split."

Tsunade gave the order, and the slug responded, understanding her meaning.

"learn."

The slug responded, and its enormous size seemed to melt away, shrinking into tiny slugs. They jumped onto the nearby wounded Konoha soldiers and began their work: treating them.

Tsunade looked at the Iwagakure soldiers before her and clenched her fist. She prepared to fight.

Coincidentally, Orochimaru was also in this area, and the three legendary ninjas were reunited to fight side by side.

The war continued, and with the appearance of Jiraiya and Tsunade, powerful figures from Iwagakure also emerged.

With high-level combat power facing off against high-level combat power, Mu's battle can only be considered to have just begun.

The same is true on the other side.

Tsuki and Kushina Mikoto finally arrived. Compared to Iwagakure, the situation here was even more disadvantageous. Konoha's troops were retreating steadily, seemingly due to insufficient manpower on this side.

Compared to the side attacked by Iwagakure, this side was quite remote and lacked sufficient defensive forces. By the time Tsuki and the other two arrived, the Konoha forces were already in a losing position.

"Diamond Seal".

Kushina was the first to strike, extending chains from her back to sweep across the area. This was a wide-range attack with considerable power.

This immediately relieved the pressure on the Konoha forces, forcing the Kirigakure forces to retreat slightly.

"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"

Yue Shu formed hand seals and unleashed a burst of flames. Although his fire jutsu, which had reached the level of a Super Kage, was only at the B-rank level, he used it at a level close to S-rank.

"Water escape, water formation wall!"

One after another, water array walls rose up. The range and scale of Moon Tree's mighty fire extinguishing the flames were truly enormous, requiring nearly ten water array walls to barely block it.

"Lightning Release: Flowing Storm".

Mikoto also took this opportunity to unleash her ninjutsu. The Water Barrier had just blocked the Great Fire Extinction, and the air was filled with water vapor. At this moment, the power of her Lightning Release would definitely increase several levels.

The ferocious lightning bolt was held in Mikoto's hand, but she finally flung it away with one hand.

sizzle-

The jet of electricity hurled itself and exploded, the overflowing current raging everywhere, spreading rapidly through the water vapor, the shimmering current flowing continuously through the air.

The Hidden Mist troops also noticed this and quickly used their unfamiliar Earth Release techniques to block it.

The three members of the Moon Tree trio, each with a single move, forced the Hidden Mist Village to retreat considerably.

Kushina retrieved the chains, and the three of them landed in front of the Konoha troops.

"Are you okay?"

Two Jonin were guarding this place. It's worth mentioning that Kakashi and his two companions were also here. Even though they are geniuses and have the strength of Jonin, it's not yet time for them to take on this responsibility.

Tsukiki glanced at Kakashi and the other two, then continued looking ahead. There was no time for idle chatter; there was big trouble ahead.

With the Earth Release dissipating, Mikoto's Lightning Release didn't cause much trouble.

Swish!

The wind compressed and flew over at high speed. Yue Shu's eyes flickered, and he drew his Kusanagi sword from his waist and slashed down.

boom!

A sudden burst of airflow erupted, sweeping across the surroundings and making a loud whooshing sound.

Sure enough, the Otsutsuki people were here.

Looking at the wind spirits floating in the crowd opposite, Tsukiki noticed that not only that, but also two members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist were among them, along with many veteran ninjas, all of whom were quite famous, like Kurenai Yuhi, who had made significant contributions during World War II.
