Naruto: I get stronger by drawing lots

"Kakashi!"

Kakashi's body trembled.

"There isn't that much time."

Lin revealed the cruelest truth: the war had only just ended, and it was already a miracle that her body could last even a minute.

"Ah!"

Kakashi whispered, lamenting his own incompetence.

"do not want!"

"don't want!!"

"Kakashi, please."

Rin's aura grew even stronger, and the tailed beast's cloak began to emanate from her body.

There is no time.

Kakashi called out.

"Raychi".

That was his favorite ninjutsu.

"Lin!"

Obito's Sharingan spun around his body, and tears of blood began to well up from the corners of his eyes.

The lightning wasn't large, but it shone brightly, gathering in Kakashi's hand.

"Lin!"

It wasn't Kakashi's voice; it was very faint, and no one could even hear it.

"Stop!!!"

puff.

The aura paused for a moment, then dissipated completely.

Tick.

Lin coughed up blood; her chest had been pierced by Kakashi.

Her eyes were so gentle as she met Kakashi's gaze.

"Thank you, Kakashi."

The hands reached out, wanting to touch Kakashi's face, but only touched it lightly before falling down.

"Ahhh!"

Two identical Sharingan eyes were constantly rotating, the tomoe turning together, and finally the pupils contracted, and the eyeballs changed into another shape.

Kakashi caught Rin as she fell, then knelt on the ground and wailed.

Kushina landed, and she had just arrived at that moment.

"Kakashi————"

Kushina also held on tightly, and Tsukiki arrived just in time.

The scene before him made him hold his breath.

The boy held the girl in his arms, looked up and cried loudly.

A familiar aura flashed by, and Yue Shu turned her gaze away, but in that instant, the aura had already vanished.

"Kakashi."

Kushina ran over, the boy's cries faded, and he too fainted.

Tsuki couldn't remember what she had forgotten, but now wasn't the time to think about it. Tsuki followed Kushina.

"Although the Three-Tails didn't achieve its goal, it did make some new gains here."

Madara Uchiha listened to the message relayed by White Zetsu and said calmly—

Tonight, the kaleidoscope unfolds —

Chapter 267: A Gentle Breeze

Time has passed, and World War III has come to an end.

The prisoners of war from Konoha have been ransomed. Whether they won or lost, everything has returned to normal.

With everything settled, World War III officially came to an end.

In this battle, the three legendary Sannin—Minato, Tsuki, and Kushina—made great contributions, and their reputations were further enhanced, not only in Konoha Village but throughout the entire ninja world. Their fame had been established.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's tenure has been long enough, and the younger generation has gradually grown stronger, even possessing the ability to take over the mantle of Konoha.

The three legendary Sannin and Minato were incredibly close to reaching the Kage level, or even halfway there. Kushina was slightly less advanced. These were all Konoha's prodigies.

As the name suggests, the day when the younger generation will take over the mantle is approaching, and the selection of the Fourth Hokage will begin soon.

How are you feeling?

Tsunade entered the ward, and Minato, with bandages wrapped around his neck, returned her a smile as bright as the sun.

"Thanks to Lady Tsunade, I'm much better now."

"That's good."

Minato's expression changed.

"Um, Kakashi, how's Kakashi doing these days?"

Minato didn't know what expression to make; he missed all of them.

Of Obito, Rin, and Minato's team, only Kakashi remains.

"You should worry more about yourself. Your injuries are much more serious. That blonde girl, isn't she your sister? She's almost ready to be discharged."

"Really? That's great news."

Tsunade went to the window, where a gentle breeze blew by, which felt quite comfortable.

"Besides, that kid Yue Shu isn't someone to be trifled with, so don't worry."

Minato sighed.

"What a disqualified teacher, I really am."

A gentle breeze ruffled the strands of hair on his forehead, and Minato's eyes flickered—

"Minato, are you alright?"

As soon as the gate opened, Jiraiya appeared.

Is Tsunade here too?

"Jiraiya-sensei?"

"Did you come to visit me? Then I should be going."

Tsunade glanced at Jiraiya and then walked away.

Tsunade brushed past Jiraiya and walked straight out.

"Tsk tsk."

Jiraiya smacked his lips, looking at the closed door.

"Jiraiya-sensei, what brings you here?"

"It's just to see my dear disciple, but judging from your appearance, it's probably nothing serious."

"shame."

"This is not shameful; these are the marks of what you risked your life for."

Jiraiya sat by the bed.

"Hey, Jiraiya-sensei, am I really suited to be a teacher?"

"Huh? Why are you suddenly saying that?"

"I failed to protect anything."

Minato lowered his head. As the sun, he should naturally emit warm light, not a cold, chilling glare.

Jiraiya simply placed a large hand over Minato's head, startling Minato.

"Are you an idiot? You are my proud disciple, and a teacher that others are proud of as well."

"You are the Yellow Flash, not only famous in the ninja world, but also approachable in the village, and the students you teach are geniuses."

"Thank you, Jiraiya-sensei."

Minato said something indifferently, his grip tightening considerably, which was clearly visible in the crumpled sheets.

The wind after the war blows in through the window. Is it now a little gentler, no longer so sharp, still carrying sand and dust?

"Kakashi!"

With a snap, the door was flung open. Kakashi was leaning against the bed, looking out the window, when the guy in the green bodysuit burst in.

Kakashi didn't respond or speak, but Guy still jumped up. He was covered in bandages, but he still looked so energetic.

"What's wrong? You look so listless. Youth is all about passion and energy! Come on, let's work out together!!!"

Despite still having wounds on his body, Kai started doing push-ups at lightning speed.

"Ah! The wound has reopened! But passionate youth always comes with wounds!"

"You've run out again! Your injury hasn't healed yet! See, it's cracked open again."

There was another noise at the door. The nurse found Kai and, while scolding him, dragged him back inside.

"Youth is fearless of wounds. A mere crack in the skin is nothing compared to my youth, which cannot be stopped by such a small wound!"

"Your youth will have to wait until your wounds heal first."

Kai was dragged back immediately, and he kept calling out "youth" all the way.
