Naruto: I get stronger by drawing lots

The two members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist are Juzo Biwa, the wielder of the Executioner's Blade, and Yuuto Tsubasa, the wielder of the Kabuto Kama. Both are masters of taijutsu, and their taijutsu is even more powerful than their ninjutsu.

The combat power of Tsukiju's side was originally suppressed, but now, with the support of Tsukiju, Kushina, and Mikoto, the high-level combat power is at least no longer suppressed. However, the number of lower-level combat power is not advantageous, since this is not the main area that Konoha defends. They deliberately spent more energy and resources to attack here, catching them off guard.

"Are you ready?"

Tsukiki spoke softly, then smiled:

"Come at me!"

Yue Shu was the first to rush forward, and his target was obviously Yu Feng!

Kushina and Mikoto followed behind, charging forward together with Tsuki, while the Konoha troops behind them were also roused and charged forward.

Chakra erupted, and the battle broke out immediately. Whether it was Tsukuyomi, Jiraiya, or anyone else, they all started fighting.

Chapter 197: Outsider Affairs

Minato had just finished dealing with this series of sudden events when the war suddenly intensified, catching everyone off guard. If it weren't for Jiraiya and Tsunade's sudden return, Konoha would probably have faced a difficult situation this time.

Fortunately, everything seemed to be preordained, and Konoha was protected when it faced a crisis.

"report!"

Minato was preparing to go out and provide support as well. He wasn't too worried about the Cloud Village, as all three Sannin were gathered there, and it was also the place where Konoha had the strongest defenses. What worried him was the Moon Tree Village. With the Kirigakure's surprise attack, he was afraid that by the time the Moon Tree and the others arrived, they would have already suffered heavy losses. In addition, there were other unsettling factors like the Otsutsuki clan, so he was really worried. Therefore, Minato also planned to go and provide support.

But at this very moment, another report came through.

Another ninja soldier ran over, looking quite anxious.

Minato also put aside his idea of ​​providing support and looked at the ninja soldier who had already run up to him.

The forces of Kumogakure and Kirigakure have already been mobilized, and even Iwagakure, far away in Sunagakure, has been tied down. At this moment, Minato can't think of any other move he can come up with.

"Lord Minato, the Hokage has sent word."

Minato was slightly surprised that the news was about Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"what happened?"

Minato asked, already knowing in his heart that something was very bad.

"According to the intelligence teams sent back by the Anbu in various places, there has been quite a bit of activity in Amegakure and Uzushiogakure recently."

"The Land of Whirlpools—"

Minato also noticed this. It was Kushina's hometown, but due to certain tragedies, only Kushina was able to escape from the Land of Whirlpools. As Minato grew up, he also learned some of the truth about the Land of Whirlpools.

Someone had their eyes on the Uzumaki clan, leading to the story of the Land of Whirlpools' extermination. Who it was—whether an individual or an organization—is unknown; however, there is no doubt that such a conspiracy existed behind the Land of Whirlpools. Now, after years of silence, news of this has resurfaced. What does this signify?

As for Amegakure, which was the main battlefield during World War II, Minato knew about it, as he had only been born a short time at the time.

Amegakure is just a small ninja village, so there's no need to pay attention to it, but Amegakure is more than just a small ninja village.

It contains Hanzo, known as the "half-body Salamander," and the mysterious Akatsuki organization. Minato had heard of the former, and Tsukito had mentioned the latter; both are extraordinary figures.

Now that the war has fully unfolded and every battlefield is so intense, there are also many external events happening, which is not a good sign.

"report!"

Minato was pondering when someone else came over to report on the situation.

"The battle between Kirigakure and Iwagakure has ended. At present, the battle between the two sides will not last long, and Kirigakure has unilaterally withdrawn its troops."

Upon hearing this, Minato frowned even more deeply.

I can't figure it out, I really can't figure it out. The actions of the Hidden Mist Village are very strange, and the Hidden Cloud Village, which is cooperating with them, is also disturbing my thoughts. I really can't figure out why.

"Okay, I see."

Minato spoke up: "You all go back and report to the Hokage first. Report back on the whole situation. There's one more thing. Ask the Hokage to arrange for people to come over as soon as possible. Jiraiya's team may be mobilized in full force tomorrow at noon."

The ninja soldiers in front of them exchanged glances, seemingly puzzled. Jiraiya's squad was now recognized as the strongest squad, with almost every member reaching the Kage level. Even Mikoto had reached the peak of Jonin, which was considered half Kage level. Minato and Tsukiki, in particular, were among the best of the Kage level. If Jiraiya's squad were not present during this period of war, Konoha's strength would be significantly weakened.

"Do as I say. Let's set off immediately. There's one more thing: please pass on a message to the Hokage for me."

"There may be something fishy about this. I hope the Hokage will trust Minato's judgment."

Minato's expression was very serious. He was right about what he had just said. He really couldn't guess what all these things meant, but he had a gut feeling that he shouldn't miss out on the matter of the Land of Whirlpools.

Minato had finished speaking, and the two lowly ninjas couldn't say anything more. They set off together to continue their duties.

The next moment, Minato transformed into a golden flash as he went to support Tsukiki and the others.

On Tsukiyo's side, the Konoha troops were still at a disadvantage, but they were not yet in a state of complete defeat. It was impossible for Tsukiyo and Mikasa to determine a winner in one fell swoop, and they were both circling each other.

The higher your strength, the more difficult it becomes to kill or defeat an enemy. Most battles last for several days, day and night.

Battles like the Valley of the End, or the Second Hokage holding off the Cloud Village's Gold and Silver Brothers army, could last for more than a day and a night.

Yue Shu repelled Yu Feng with a single sword strike, the Kusanagi sword in her hand still burning with flames.

This time, he didn't use Senbonzakura; instead, he played normally.

"Spiral pills!"

A figure darted out, its blue and white light quite conspicuous, and struck Yu Feng, who was confronting the Moon Tree, with a single blow.

Tsukiki reacted instantly, wielding the Kusanagi sword and charging forward with a single strike, pressing his advantage!

"Spiral Lightning Hurricane Shuriken - First Form".

Minato also perfected and extended the Rasengan, learning the Rasenshuriken.

When Yue Shu slashes down with his sword, Yu Feng will naturally block it; getting hit by Yue Shu's sword is no joke.

At this moment, Tsukiki pushed hard, directly pushing Yufeng away, and the direction she pushed away was the direction the Spiral Shuriken flew in.

The spiral shuriken buzzed as it struck Yufeng directly.

The violent air currents spread out in an instant, these swirling air currents with blade-like sharpness directly enveloping Yu Feng.

"Fire Release: Dragon Flame Song Technique".

The Moon Tree exhaled a burst of flame, and the enormous flame was directly engulfed in this shockwave, which then visibly turned into the color of flame.

Moon Tree's Dragon Flame Song technique seemed to color the airwaves, as flames could be seen constantly being blown around inside the airwaves.

"Return to Heaven!"

boom!

The shockwave blasted open, revealing Yu Feng's figure inside, who appeared to be unharmed.

"Fire Release: Cross Blade".

Yue Shu slashed at it with his sword, but Yu Feng deflected it with a palm strike.

"Wind Release: Hurricane Blade".

Minato also attacked with one move, but he was still shattered by a single palm strike.

"Your Spiral Lightning Hurricane Shuriken move isn't very good."

Yue Shu made a joke, and the two met up, with Yu Feng right in front of them.

Minato smiled and said, "Your Fire Release technique still needs some refinement."

The two greeted each other, and then the wind-driven attack came.

Their eyes met, and they immediately understood each other's meaning.

"Fire and Lightning Release: Blazing Lightning Blade".

Tsukijue controlled two kinds of chakra at once, and the Kusanagi sword was both burning with flames and wrapped with electricity.

Minato threw a kunai at Yufeng.

Yue Shu cleaved the attack with a single sword strike, then switched to a sweeping stance.

"Flying Thunder God Technique!"

Minato's Flying Thunder God Kunai flew to Yuuki's side, and just as a golden light flashed, Minato pulled Yueju up and disappeared from the spot.

In the next instant, Tsukiki and Minato were already beside Yufeng. The speed at which they traversed space was so fast that Yufeng didn't even have time to react.

With a sweeping motion, the Kusanagi sword unleashed a burst of lightning and fire as it hurtled towards the Wind-Riding Sword before it.

boom!

Explosion sound—

Chapter 198: The Wrong War

The explosions echoed, and Tsuki and Minato retreated again, the lightning and fire of the Kusanagi sword fading away. Controlling two different chakra natures simultaneously was undeniably exhausting, and Tsuki couldn't sustain it for long.

Not everyone can control multiple chakra natures at the same time. Perhaps some people can control two at the same time, but they are already rare. It is precisely because of this that we can understand how terrifying Hiruzen Sarutobi's ninjutsu skills are.

The Second Hokage was known for his wisdom and courage, and it was already widely acknowledged that Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was accepted as his disciple, must have possessed exceptional abilities. Hiruzen Sarutobi's talent was truly unique and rare.

"Earth Escape, Earth Walking Tiger."

Tsukiki and Minato retreated a considerable distance, and Tsukiki used Earth Release to strike back directly from behind the Hidden Mist troops.

Kushina and Mikoto weren't stupid either; seeing this, they both took action, intending to coordinate from both inside and outside.

Not only Kushina and Mikoto, but the other Jonin in the team did the same. Following Kushina and Mikoto's actions, they all made their moves. It seemed they had also noticed the movements of Tsuki and Minato behind them.

"Water Release: Shark Claw Bullet".

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet".

The people of Kirigakure weren't stupid; they wouldn't just stand there and let themselves be slaughtered. They began to fight back.

"Empty Palm, Fire!"

With a hint of anger, Yu Feng's voice came, accompanied by the sound of wind being cut.

The raging flames burned all the way, making Yu Feng's attack seem quite spectacular.

However—the Moon Tree is no match for it either.

"Fire Release: Sea of ​​Flames Devouring Waves".

Chakra burst forth in one breath, overflowing and surging into the ground beneath his feet.

Flames roared behind them, forcing the water gate to retreat quite a distance.

A flame flickered in the moon tree's eyes, and now the towering flames swept over like ocean waves.
