Naruto: I get stronger by drawing lots

Somewhere underground, the white-haired, aged Madara Uchiha looked at Black Zetsu before him, a wicked smile appearing on his aging face.

"Let's wait and see for now."

"I wonder if Himekami, who is hailed as a direct descendant of the Six Paths, has something special about her."

"As ordered."

Night fell, and the wind followed, instantly cooling the world.

Meanwhile, Yue Shu was fast asleep, huddled under the covers.

Chapter Twenty-Nine: Leaving the Village

"Escort the merchants to the land of the waterfall."

Kushina softly read out the C-rank mission that Hiruzen Sarutobi had given her.

The Land of Fire has the best geographical environment among many countries. Everyday items and specialties that are expensive in other countries are very cheap in the Land of Fire.

As a result, many merchants crossed national borders to come to the Land of Fire to purchase goods to sell in other countries.

People will do anything for money. A business trip through a few countries is nothing special. Besides, the countries in Naruto aren't that big. It only takes ten days or even a few days to get to another country.

"This is a C-level mission?"

Kushina looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Yes, don't underestimate this. Although C-rank ninjas won't be encountered, it shouldn't be underestimated either. Besides, you can also go out of the village for a stroll, right?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled.

As the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki, Hiruzen Sarutobi would never let Kushina leave, even if only a small number of people in Konoha knew this information.

The reason for Kushina leaving the village is quite simple.

That was Jiraiya's guarantee of strength. Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin, was also his student, so Hiruzen Sarutobi naturally believed in the strength of such a Kage-level powerhouse as Jiraiya.

Moreover, the lady of the Uzumaki family had agreed to Kushina's departure from the village, so there were no more concerns.

Hiruzen Sarutobi is currently in his prime and is not as powerless and incompetent as he was in the original story. He is also not so hesitant to do these things. He is still able to live up to the title of Third Hokage.

"It's alright, when does it start?"

Kushina's eyes lit up even more when she heard about leaving the village, and her face showed an expression that said she wanted to go out and play.

"You silly girl."

Hiruzen Sarutobi laughed angrily; there were very few people in the entire Hidden Leaf Village who dared to speak to him like that.

"Then let's call it a day and meet at the village entrance at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."

Jiraiya said this, and then the members of Jiraiya's squad dispersed.

Tomorrow is Jiraiya's team's first mission outside the village.

None of the Jiraiya squad members can sleep tonight.

Even Minato Namikaze, who had been a genin for some time, was no exception. Although he graduated a month earlier than Tsuki and the others, Jiraiya did not take him on any high-difficulty missions without his permission. Instead, he continued to do the usual chores and D-rank missions.

This time, Minato Namikaze was more excited than the other three, even though he didn't show it on his face.

The second most excited person was Kushina, followed by Mikoto, and finally Tsukiki.

For Tsuki, leaving the village wasn't that tempting. His previous life on Earth was several times larger than this ninja world, and he had seen quite a lot of scenery.

Although most of it was seen online.

Besides, can a shut-in still be called a shut-in if he leaves home?

As usual, Yue Shu was being a lazy bum today.

But then the voice in my head rang out again.

"Task Triggered: Complete the first C-level mission. Reward for completing the mission: one draw."

Tsukiki was dumbfounded.

Something seems off.

The tasks have become increasingly difficult recently. Yue Shu can clearly feel that it's as if the beginner period is over and the system's tasks have become more challenging.

Logically speaking, a C-rank mission shouldn't pose any problem for a novice genin.

After all, it's a C-rank mission. It's been said that there won't be any ninjas. The difference between ninjas and non-ninjas is enormous.

So what kind of situation could make things difficult for a ninja squad?

There probably aren't any other ninjas besides the same ones.

As Yue Shu thought this, she couldn't help but feel speechless.

Konoha's C-rank missions are really...

It's unique.

This is true for me, and it will be true for Naruto decades later.

Konoha's C-rank missions are truly unique.

"Forget it, we'll talk about it later. There's still the lecherous immortal. Although he looks lewd, he's still reliable."

Yue Shu turned over and didn't bother with anything else.

Even if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up, right?

As night deepened, the sound of the moon tree's breathing echoed evenly.

The moon shone alone in the night sky, and there were no other stars in sight.

Soon, the next day arrived.

"Good morning."

Tsukiki yawned as he arrived at the village entrance, where Jiraiya's squad members were already waiting. At the same time, there was also a carriage and a man and a woman.

"Good morning my foot! Look at the time!"

"Hey? Isn't it exactly nine o'clock? I came right on time."

Unaware of his own lapse in judgment, Yue Shu directly revealed that he had arrived at the exact time.

"You bastard!"

Kushina's head formed several tic-tac-toe symbols, and a ball of anger burned fiercely above her head.

"Cough cough."

Jiraiya coughed, stopping Kushina, and Tsukiki thus escaped a disaster, though he was unaware of it.

"These are the people we are escorting, Mr. Kuchiki Kurotoshi and his daughter, Ms. Kuchiki Kei."

Jiraiya introduced the man and woman standing to the side to Tsukiki and the others.

Tsukiki also looked over.

The man was older than Jiraiya and dressed like a commoner; he didn't look like a businessman at all.

His daughter, on the other hand, was quite striking. Her long black hair was tied in a ponytail behind her head, and her delicate features were very pleasing to the eye. There was also a beauty mark at the corner of her eye, which was the finishing touch.

It must be said that this woman is indeed a beauty, and she also has a gentle temperament.

"Hello, my name is Himegami Tsukiki."

Tsukiki's voice was calm. No matter how beautiful the other person was, it was none of Tsukiki's business. Tsukiki wasn't the kind of person who couldn't resist a woman. He was joking. Wasn't sleeping, eating, and watching anime more appealing to him?

After greeting their employer and getting to know each other, Jiraiya's team officially began their first trip outside the village.

As the carriage slowly left Konoha, Tsuki and the others followed beside it, Konoha gradually fading away behind them.

Tsukiki and the others really did leave the village, and for several days at that.

Upon emerging, everyone except Jiraiya and Tsukiki was inevitably filled with excitement.

After all, he's been living in Konoha since birth, so it's no wonder he's excited to have the chance to come out now.

But Tsukiki was not like that; on the contrary, he was more worried.

After the system task was triggered last night, Yue Shu was basically certain that this C-level task would definitely not be as simple as it seemed on the surface.

What lay ahead was unclear to Yue Shu herself. Although she had a lecherous immortal by her side, she still had to be careful.

After all, Jiraiya was alone, and Tsukiki really didn't believe that he could protect so many people, including six.

"Well, it would be good if things were just like this, ordinary and uneventful."

Tsukiki glanced at Minato Namikaze and Nami Koto Kushina, whose expressions were clearly visible, and said something softly.

Chapter 30: Konoha's C-Rank Mission?

"Sister Hisachiki".

"what happened?"

What kind of place is Taki-no-Kuni?

A carriage was slowly passing by on a path in the woods, accompanied by a white-haired man and a blond boy.

At the front of the carriage, Kuchiki Kuro was driving. Inside, Tsukiki, two others, and Kuchiki Kei were inside. Namikaze Minato, being sensible, went outside and escorted the carriage with Jiraiya.

It has to be said that female friendships are really strange. In just a few days, Kushina and Mikoto became familiar with their employer, Kei Hisachiki.

Yue Shu leaned back in the car, watching the three women chatting.

"The Land of Waterfalls?"

Hisashi thought for a moment, as if he were recalling something.

"It's a very, very small place. It's more like a village than a country. It might not even be as big as Konoha."

Hisashi smiled, and her smile was undeniably charming, pure, and innocent.

To be honest, Tsukiki admired Kuchiki Kuroki, who was driving the carriage outside. As a merchant, his daughter was so pure and innocent. Kuchiki Kuroki was truly remarkable.

"Huh? Is it that small?"

Kushina was stunned, while Mikoto listened quietly from the side.

"Yes. Very, very small, both the people and the animals."
