Naruto: I get stronger by drawing lots

Zilai also laughed.

Jiraiya's squad's first mission—cleaning the streets—is about to begin.

Jiraiya led the team, with Kushina following along somewhat aggrievedly. Mikoto gently comforted Kushina, while Minato Namikaze and Tsukiki followed quietly.

Speaking of which, I still have a prize draw I haven't participated in yet.

Tsukiki suddenly remembered this.

Since I have nothing else to do, I might as well smoke.

Tsukiki was too lazy to care about things like bathing, changing clothes, and washing hands.

"System, draw a prize."

"Congratulations, host, you have acquired Shadow Clone Technique (Rank B) and Multiple Shadow Clone Technique (Rank A)."

Um--

Tsukiki could barely hide the upturned corners of her mouth.

like,

I've found a way to be lazy!

Tsukiki finally couldn't hide the upturned corners of her mouth.

Wow, that was awesome!

Chapter Twenty-Eight: A C-Rank Mission?

The sunlight in Konoha has always been just right, perfect for sleeping in late, but perhaps not so good for street sweeping.

The scorching sun beat down on their faces as Jiraiya's squad members, brooms in hand, scattered across the streets.

"How boring, why is it so hot today!"

Kushina swept the floor listlessly, complaining weakly.

Minato and Mikoto, standing to the side, did not complain and quietly swept the floor.

What's most infuriating is Jiraiya, who's resting to the side, excitedly looking at the book with the cover in his hand.

This guy's eyes were glued to him, and he kept flashing a lewd smile, which infuriated Kushina.

Kushina glanced at Jiraiya, her little fists clenched, but she stubbornly turned her head away and refused to look at him.

Not looking at it wouldn't have made me so angry.

Saying.

Kushina suddenly remembered something and turned her gaze to Tsukiki, who was also quietly sweeping the floor.

This completely stunned Kushina.

You have to understand that Tsukiki is a real lazy bum; she'd rather lie down than sit. Yet here she is, obediently sweeping the floor. Normally, Tsukiki should have gone off somewhere to slack off.

"Moon Tree, do you have a fever?"

"what?"

Tsukiki was completely bewildered by Kushina's sudden question.

"You actually work so honestly?"

Having spent a long time together, Kushina had become very familiar with Tsukiki's personality.

"well-"

Yue Shu sighed.

"I didn't want to either. Why can that guy make me do all the work without doing anything? Don't clones have any rights?"

Tsukiki started complaining.

Kushina didn't pay attention to the second half of the conversation and thought Tsukiki was talking about Jiraiya, so she kept nodding in agreement.

"Forget it, let's just finish this quickly."

Yue Shu sighed again and obediently went back to work.

Kushina looked at Tsukiki, sighed along with him, and then pouted as she continued sweeping the floor.

The streets of Konoha aren't dirty, but it's still quite a big undertaking for three people to sweep such a large street.

The sunlight in Konoha was warm, which was very comfortable for the people on the other side.

A small grove in Konoha, not far from the streets Jiraiya's team was sweeping. If Kushina and the others were here, they would be stunned with surprise.

That's right, there's a moon tree lying asleep under one of the trees here.

Tsuki, who was sweeping the floor, is now here. Experienced ninjas would know what has happened.

Using shadow clones to complete tasks allows one to slack off; many people have done this.

It's all the same person, so what difference does it make whether it's the original self or not?

It has to be said that even the heavens are on Yue Shu's side. Yue Shu herself felt like she had suddenly become incredibly lucky, and at this very moment, she happened to draw the Shadow Clone Technique. It couldn't be more coincidental.

Regardless of all that, in the days that followed, Tsukiki continued to use shadow clones to deal with things as always, while he himself stayed at home and was too lazy to even get out of bed.

Kushina and the others were acting rather strangely. Tsukiki always arrived early for missions and did her work very well, though she always looked unhappy and aggrieved.

As for Jiraiya? He rested on the sidelines as always. As one of the Legendary Sannin, he wasn't short of funds. There was no need for him to do these D-rank missions. These missions were meant to train new Genin.

For a ninja, the most important thing is the word "endurance." Mental fortitude and patience are essential. Only a ninja who embodies the spirit of endurance can be considered a qualified ninja.

Jiraiya's team is currently undergoing this test, which is putting Minato Namikaze in a difficult position. He has to accompany Tsukihime and the other two to redo a D-rank mission for a while, although Minato Namikaze is the type not to care.

Time passed slowly, and Tsukiki managed to deal with the situation for two weeks using shadow clones.

This time, the memories transmitted back by Tsukiki's shadow clone contained some interesting details.

Kushina finally couldn't stand the boring task anymore and went to complain to Jiraiya, even taking it to the Third Hokage.

As the youngest princess of the Uzumaki family, Kushina, who also has the title of Mito Uzumaki, naturally possesses this ability.

Jiraiya and Hiruzen Sarutobi also had to serve Kushina, the little princess, so they had no choice but to agree to give Jiraiya's team a C-rank mission.

I have to say, you, Blood Red Chili Pepper, are still Blood Red Chili Pepper.

"A Class C mission?"

Tsukiki murmured something, recalling Naruto's first C-rank mission in the original story.

That's an A-level mission disguised as a C-level mission.

"That was decades ago, how could that be?"

Yue Shu thought for a moment, then smiled. The original work is the original work, but this is decades ago in the original work. How could such a thing have happened?

"Jingyin, what are we having for dinner tonight?"

Tsukiki stopped thinking about those things and shouted at the room.

That's right, it's Shizune's turn to cook tonight. As for Tsunade, she's still just eating as always.

Yue Shu didn't know how this woman could eat so much without gaining weight. All she did was eat, and she was just as lazy as Yue Shu.

Maybe that's just what an old woman is like.

Are you thinking something rude?

The aroma of food was already wafting out, and Tsunade, who was lounging in the living room, looked at Tsukiki, who was waiting for dinner.

"How could that be? Am I that kind of person?"

Yue Shu's righteous and stern reply made him seem like a very serious person.

Lying through one's teeth is one of Tsukiki's great skills.

"Humph."

Tsunade snorted at Tsukiki's reaction, since she couldn't hear what he was really thinking.

"Speaking of which, you've been staying home a lot lately, don't you have any tasks to do?"

"Shadow clones."

"You cunning little devil."

"It's alright."

"I wasn't praising you. By the way, when did you learn Shadow Clone Technique?"

"I suddenly learned it."

"You rascal."

Tsunade gave a helpless, bitter smile.

"What kind of argument is that?"

Dinner is ready.

The sound of silence came from the kitchen, and Tsukiki got up to help serve the dishes.

Tsunade watched Tsukiki walk away, then took a sip of tea as usual.

The tea was still hot, steaming gently rising to the surface.

Before anyone knew it, Senju's house had gone from one person to three, and it was quite lively.

It felt like a dream.

Be careful.

Don't worry.

Tsunade looked at Shizune and Tsukiki carrying the dishes over, and a faint smile quietly appeared on her face.

"Himegami?"

"Yes."

"If that's true, then our plan can be simpler."
