Naruto: I get stronger by drawing lots

Himegami Tsukiki was bound to the ground, staring at the person in front of her without showing any sign of submission.

"I'll show you something."

As Yahiko finished speaking, some wheel frames appeared behind them, and following the gaze, a huge body was revealed.

"This is--"

Tsukiki was slightly surprised, and her eyes flickered with emotion.

"This is a demonic statue of a heretic, a shell of a god."

"God, why did you bring me here?"

"The reason is simple."

Yahiko walked over, looked at Tsukiki with a cold, emotionless gaze.

"You are the heart of this body."

Yahiko stared intently with his Rinnegan, and the words he uttered shocked everyone.

"Wait, isn't the Gedo Mazo only useful when it gathers the power of all the Tailed Beasts? Why is it that just this guy can rival all the Tailed Beasts?"

Those around him were puzzled, but Yahiko did not immediately offer an explanation.

"History is submerged in the river of time, remaining submerged, and then getting deeper and deeper, until no one can ever reach that place again."

Yahiko spoke slowly, as if he were telling a story.

"A thousand years ago, the Tailed Beasts suddenly appeared, but before the nine Tailed Beasts appeared, there was only one Tailed Beast in the world."

"Its name is Ten-Tails. This is the original tailed beast. All tailed beasts after it are incarnations of Ten-Tails."

"The overlord of a thousand years ago is now calling out to return to this ninja world."

Yahiko grabbed Tsukiki.

"Himegami Tsukiki, you must be thinking about it too, your companion from a thousand years ago."

The two pairs of eyes were only about ten centimeters apart.

"I'll give you a chance, a chance to go back a thousand years."

Yahiko threw Tsukiki directly over, and Tsukiki flew over and flew towards the Gedo Mazo.

Time seemed to slow down in that instant, little by little, as if it had stopped.

Snapped.

The Moon Tree crashed into the Gedo Mazo. Its consciousness instantly began to churn like a vortex.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

A force was relentlessly digging into his brain, causing Yue Shu to scream in pain.

Something was constantly leaking out. Tsukiju could clearly feel something flowing out of his body and heading towards the Gedo Mazo.

"Moon Tree".

"I love you."

who!

"Ahhh!"

He heard the moon tree calling out; someone was calling to him repeatedly.

"Moon Tree".

"I love you."

She called out again, and Tsukiki vaguely saw it. A girl, with white pupils and skin, even her hair was white.

It was her! This girl was calling out to me. She was so familiar. The moment I saw her, my heart trembled.

This wasn't his memory, but it touched him.

"Roar!"

The Gedo Mazo began to cry out, and in that instant, the parched Gedo Mazo came to life.

It's like an old man with white hair slowly transforming into a young man.

"What exactly is going on?"

They watched all this in disbelief. Could one person possess the power of nine tailed beasts at the same time?

Yahiko watched all this quietly. Nagato behind him knew that a thousand years ago, there were two Ten-Tails Jinchuriki. Tsukiju had also used the power of the Ten-Tails for his own purposes. That was before the Ten-Tails, when it was still the God Tree.

Itachi clenched his fists tightly, resisting the urge to attack.

It's too early now, it's not the right time. If we suddenly make a move now, everything will fall apart.

His eyes began to go blank, Yue Shu's consciousness was already dizzy, and his vision was completely blurred, as if he had gone blind.

"Forehead----"

Tsukigi's mouth was slightly open, and he clung to the Gedo Mazo like a walking corpse.

Like a swamp, the Moon Tree's body kept sinking into the Gedo Mazo, as if it were about to sink into some place that could not reach the sky.

"Are we really okay with it? That guy's about to be eaten."

Deidara asked a question, but no one around him answered; they all just watched silently.

His entire body was submerged into the Gedo Mazo, with only his face remaining exposed.

The next moment, even that last face was swallowed up by the demonic statue.

The Moon Tree completely disappeared into the body of the Gedo Mazo, as if it had been eaten.

The Demonic Statue of the Outer Path came to life completely at that moment, and tails began to stretch out—one, two, three, four—

It's not just a few simple points, but ten points that lead to perfection.

"Hey, hey, hey, this is really bad."

Deidara was like a clown, he was the only one talking.

"My own instincts?"

Yahiko said quietly, looking at the Gedo Mazo that had not fully revived.

"This is a failure?"

Deidara looked at the Gedo Mazo, which remained motionless.

"Half, I guess."

"Let's go."

Yahiko didn't continue looking at the nearly complete Gedo Mazo. He turned and walked away. The people inside looked at the Gedo Mazo and then at Yahiko, and could only follow him.

At this very moment, inside the Gedo Mazo, which had become far more powerful than usual, a person floated, surrounded by blue chakra, while the surrounding chakra was devouring him.

The moon tree closed its eyes, alone in this pitch-black world—

Just one person —

Chapter 337: Why Live?

"That concludes this lesson. get out of class dismissed."

Ordinary days, ordinary people. As the sunlight shone down, the scene in Yue Shu's eyes became clearer.

The podium, the blackboard, the teacher—everything felt both familiar and strange.

"It's finally over. No classes this afternoon, right? I'll go back to the dorm and get some sleep first."

"Hey, how about we go to karaoke later? I've invited a lot of girls."

"Really? I absolutely have to go!"

Yue Shu blinked, then sat there blankly. Slowly, everyone left, leaving Yue Shu alone.

After tidying up her books, Yue Shu also left the classroom.

"Moon Tree? That's a rather uncommon surname."

Yue Shu stopped and looked at the man in front of her. He looked very young. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed that this young-looking person was her tutor.

Orphan?

"If you need anything, you can come to me, teacher. You probably already know my contact information, right?"

"Ah."

"That's good."

The counselor patted Yue Shu on the shoulder and said one last thing:

"Live well, young man."

"Ah."

People treat university as paradise, a place of freedom where they can play whenever they want.

Yue Shu walked alone on the university road.

Laughter from all sides always rang in my ears, but none of it had anything to do with the moon tree.

The world is vast, and everyone is different. All talk of equality is a lie. If it were true, then why are some people born into carefree lives, while others face constant pressure to survive?

There have always been many people who are willing to do an effort just to stay alive.

"Want to go to the movies?"

Yue Shu quietly looked at the books he had borrowed from the library. The other people in the dormitory were discussing entertainment activities, but none of this concerned Yue Shu. He didn't have the leisure to think about such trivial matters.

"let's go."

As the sound faded, the door opened and closed, leaving only Yue Shu alone in the dormitory.

"It's raining again."

The raindrops fell one by one, growing larger and larger. A storm came, even blowing over the shared bicycles that were placed there.
