Naruto: I get stronger by drawing lots

Page 346

The two former berserkers clashed, and Yu Feng's veins bulged as he engaged in a head-on battle with Ren Shi.

Meanwhile, on Nagato's side, the area had been swallowed by darkness. Black Zetsu was carrying Nagato, who looked like a chick, and his other hand was already reaching out towards that eye.

*Pfft*

A finger was inserted, and blood gushed out of the hole as if a switch had been flipped.

"Nagato!"

Bang bang bang!

Countless explosions rang out, and the enveloping darkness began to become somewhat unstable.

Black Zetsu gripped the Rinnegan and flung Nagato aside. Nagato's eyes became empty, with only blood flowing from them.

Get away from women!

The sand clock hand appeared from behind, and Black Zetsu's defense was not something Konan could shake.

The ninja sword burst into flames, and Sand Needle slashed straight down.

Black Zetsu had sensed the presence of Sand Clock long ago. Now that he had achieved his goal, he had already begun to sneak underground and make his escape.

"Well, I've got what I wanted. Now it's up to Obito."

boom!

Like a missile crashing in, the boundless darkness was cleaved in two, and flames spread rapidly, constantly devouring the darkness, and in an instant, the place was surrounded by flames.

"Nagato!"

Konan's paper wings unfurled and she landed. Nagato was already lying there, in a pool of blood.

"He's not dead yet."

Sand Clock stood to the side and said something in a cold tone.

"Please, save Nagato. I'll do anything you ask."

Xiao Nan knelt before Sand Clock and kowtowed heavily, causing the ground to crack and revealing the blood that flowed out.

"I understand. You stand up first and help that kid sit up straight."

Sand Clock Hand sighed, sheathed the burning ninja sword, and walked forward.

Sand Clock decided to save the dying man.

Chakra possesses infinite possibilities, and so does the power of the Divine Tree, which is essentially a force that can destroy or create.

Sand Clock Hand pressed against Nagato's skin, transferring his energy to him.

The scalding flames spread, and Nagato's body slowly warmed up, and the blood stopped flowing from his empty eyes.

His stiff body softened considerably at that moment, and Nagato's fingers began to twitch.

Sand Clock was sweating profusely; such a life-saving act was equivalent to Sand Clock giving away a portion of his own life force.

Why? The sand clock doesn't know why it does this, but time will eventually reveal its value and meaning.

"Death! Give me back what you have!"

Itachi finally lost his composure, and his excitement overflowed.

"Uchiha Itachi!"

Obito behind him tried every possible way to break the sealing formation. Orochimaru watched all this quietly from the side, a smile on his face.

"Interesting, human. Are you also here to retrieve your soul?"

"I don't need other people's souls. All I want is to get my father's memories back."

"Memory? Is that so? I did indeed make such a deal with a human. A strange human, in the long river of time, humans could only trade with me using their souls, except for that one human—"

Death spoke slowly, as if Tsukiki had a deep impression of him.

"So, you insignificant human, what do you have to exchange for what you want?"

The Grim Reaper stared directly at Itachi, and the oppressive aura made Itachi want to lower his head.

"Lord Death, what do you think of what's before you? Of course, the people inside don't count."

The Grim Reaper's gaze swept over the Gedo Statue, causing Obito's reaction outside to intensify.

"So this was your plan from the beginning!"

No one expected what Itachi wanted; no one would have thought that someone would make a deal with a Shinigami.

"Haha, interesting, deal done."

The Grim Reaper actually laughed, looked at Itachi, and said this indifferently.

A strong wind began to blow, forcing Itachi and Orochimaru to retreat.

The power of death was revealed, and the still-unfinished Gedo Statue seemed to sense the threat, beginning to cry out unconsciously, filled with resentment and sorrow.

Itachi stared intently ahead, anticipating the arrival of that person.

"Moon Tree—"

Who's calling me?

When Yue Shu opened her eyes, she found herself in a vast, empty space, devoid of anything but white.

"you're awake."

"Who are you? Himegami?"

Yue Shu looked at the person in front of him who looked exactly like him. He knew this person and admired him.

Why are you here?

"Well, it was a complicated matter, but it's all over now. Your son is really amazing."

Himegami Tsukiki scratched his head, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopped, and steered the conversation elsewhere.

"But I am not—"

Tsukiki, of course, remembered that she had used the Reaper Death Seal when she was helpless against the Nine-Tails' rampage and lost her memory.

"fine."

"you--"

Tsukiki looked at Himekami Tsukiki, whose face was peaceful and resembled his own.

Go back to your family, they are waiting for you.

Tsukiki looked at Himegami Tsukiki, hesitating to speak.

"Oh, and one last gift for you."

Tsukiki looked at him and saw Himegami Tsukiki slap his chest, pushing him away.

"This is a gift from me and my old friend. Goodbye."

Himegami Tsukiki's body transformed into specks of light, glittering like stars as she vanished—

"Thank you."

Tsukiki wanted to say a lot, but in the end, he said nothing. He didn't understand this person who had the exact same face as him. Himekami Tsukiki was a ghost from a thousand years ago, who had drifted all the way to the present day. Apart from the people from a thousand years ago, no one knew him. Even the villains from a thousand years ago didn't know that he was still watching over this world.

The moon tree's thanks went unanswered, and the entirely white world began to dissipate and crumble—

"Old friend, I didn't expect it to be you picking me up."

Himegami Tsukiki embraced the power of the Grim Reaper, uttering incomprehensible words, and then transformed into light.

Chapter 343: Welcome Back

boom!

"I never imagined that such a method could actually be implemented!"

Orochimaru watched as the Shinigami gradually disappeared, and then the Gedo Mazo gained power from within it.

In just a few moments, all the power that the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path had gained vanished with the Grim Reaper, turning back into a withered tree, even more broken than before.

Itachi didn't look at them at all; all his attention was focused on the figure that had appeared before him.

"That's interesting. Your idea is worth a try."

This is what Orochimaru said.

"Akatsuki's mission is to bring peace to the world, to let the power of the gods descend upon the ninja world, and to bring peace from then on!"

This is Zero, as Yahiko said.

“It’s a very interesting idea, and it does conflict with our goals, but we can lend you a hand.”

This is what Onoshi said. These three elusive guys were nowhere to be found in the black market, and Itachi's success in finding them was largely due to luck.

"You want to learn sealing techniques? Sure, you can."

This is what Kushina said; she didn't know what Itachi was planning to do.

“Itachi, you are my son and his son, so I believe in you. No matter what, we will believe in you because you are our proud son.”

This is what Mikoto said. Mikoto is a meticulous person. Even though Itachi's unusual nature was well hidden, it was still noticed by his own mother.

"I want to become Hokage!"

"Do you know what kind of person can become Hokage?"

"A powerful ninja recognized by everyone in the village."

"Sure."

"I'll teach you to become stronger, and then surpass me, surpass your sister Kushina and Uncle Minato."

The figure became clearer and clearer, and finally Yue Shu's face was revealed.

"Father."

Itachi spread his arms, and his usually calm face finally broke down.
