Naruto: I get stronger by drawing lots

"Wow, that's part of my stash!"

Yue Shu complained from the side.

"Then I have to try it too."

Sand Clock's eyes suddenly lit up, and Onoshi just nodded, it was easy to tell that he would also have a drink.

"Ahhhh!"

Yue Shu let out a miserable scream, looking utterly wretched; it seemed his wine was doomed.

Laughter filled the air; only Tsukiki was injured.

Just as Mikoto thought, how many more days like this will there be? We don't know anymore, so let's at least live well now, because nobody knows what the future holds.

The Fourth Shinobi World War was larger than any other war. They knew full well that there would be countless sacrifices. Could they really escape with their lives?

That night, Yue Shu and the others slept together in each other's arms.

Seemingly sensing Mikoto's worry, Tsukiki gently stroked her hair.

As for Kushina, she was no exception, and Tsukiki also reached out to touch her.

The moonlight remained gentle, calm as a still lake.

It was like the calm before the storm.

Chapter 364: The Captain

"Tsukiki, just letting you know, the Allied Shinobi Forces are basically complete. Get ready, because war might break out at any time. Pre-war speeches are very important."

That day, Tsukiki was summoned to the Hokage's office, where Minato was already waiting for him.

Upon entering, Tsukiki saw not only Minato and Shikaku, the two regulars, but also the other four Kage.

Of course, I'm not actually standing here, but rather seeing the image through a telescope. It's a bit like a live broadcast.

"Currently, the ninja forces of the five major ninja villages have all gathered together, and we have jointly created a new headband with a special marking."

Minato pulled out a headband with the character for "ninja" printed on it.

"How is it? Isn't it beautiful?"

"——————"

Minato's next words left everyone speechless for a moment; he had to be a little cheeky at this crucial juncture.

"Cough cough."

Shikaku coughed twice, and Minato, no longer being cheeky, continued talking.

"Currently, the Allied Shinobi Forces are not located in any of the five major ninja villages. We have positioned ourselves in the middle of the five major ninja villages. We are currently constructing fortifications, and once everything is completed, we will gather there, and all the villagers from our ninja villages will be placed there. That will be our headquarters."

"That's a good idea."

Tsukiki nodded in agreement; the idea was certainly good.

If war breaks out, the main battlefield will definitely shift to the location of the five great ninja villages. If the villagers are still alive, they will not be able to escape the calamity even if they are in a refuge.

This battlefield has transcended all wars; this is no joke.

"Alright, let's put that aside for now. The Allied Shinobi Forces have already divided into teams. Do you know why we called you here?"

Minato finally got down to business, and the other four Kage looked at Tsukiki.

"Oh? It's just a speech, isn't it? That's not a problem?"

Yue Shu was stunned for a moment; he had a feeling that he was about to be tricked.

"Congratulations, Tsuki, you will become the captain of our Allied Ninja Forces."

"No, I don't feel happy at all."

Tsukiki shook his head and waved his hand hastily, saying that what Captain-General was he, he would only be trouble.

Tsukiki has always kept her distance from trouble.

"I'm sorry, it's already decided. Don't worry, you'll still have people to help you. Jiraiya-sensei and the Fifth Kazekage are both your assistants."

"——————"

Yue Shu was speechless, watching the five shadows in front of him spout nonsense.

“A few of us will stay at headquarters, and Lady Tsunade will too; she’s the captain of the medical support unit.”

"I don't think your reasons are enough for me to be the captain."

Tsukiki stared at Minato, who had a serious expression on his face.

"Kid, do you think we're begging you? If I didn't have to stay here, I would have taken over long ago."

When Ai's temper flared up, she directly confronted Yue Shu.

Tsukiki ignored everything and just kept watching Minato, looking at the explanation he gave.

"Anyway, you won't stay at headquarters, will you? Don't let your usual lazy and lazy attitude fool you; you always seem to avoid trouble when things get tough. You're always the first to step up when things get tough."

Minato said slowly, "So you will be in charge. The Allied Shinobi Forces need a brave and fearless person. You don't need to lead the troops. Leave that to the Fifth Kazekage and Jiraiya-sensei."

"Just be a coordinate, guiding us forward."

After Minato finished speaking, the scene fell into complete silence.

"Besides, the pre-battle speech is supposed to be given by the commander-in-chief, so isn't that perfect?"

Minato smiled, and Tsukiki sighed.

"Do as you please. It's no use me objecting anyway. If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving."

"It's just this matter; we still have some time."

As Minato spoke, Tsukiki had already walked out the door.

"I know."

Yue Shu replied with a single sentence and then closed the door behind her.

The door closed gently, and Yue Shu's figure disappeared.

"Alright, let's leave it at that. The fortifications over there are almost finished. Let's talk again then."

Minato watched Tsukiki leave, and then he also bid farewell to the four Kage. These days, they had been thinking about these things so much that their hair had turned white. A war requires so much consideration, especially since this was the largest war in history.

"What did Minato want with you?"

Back home, Kushina went up to ask what was wrong, and she and Mikoto were waiting for Tsukiki in the living room.

Outside, Naruto and Sasuke were still training, without a single day of rest, training from morning till night.

Time is running out for them, and time for Sandy and the others to train Naruto and Sasuke is also running out.

"It's nothing, I'm just filling in for a position."

Tsukiki also smiled in response to Kushina and Mikoto.

Kushina and Mikoto sat down on either side of Tsukiki, gently leaning against him.

Gently leaning against—nestling against the moon-covered tree.

"It's okay, we've always been here for you."

Yue Shu hummed in agreement and hugged the two of them, one in each arm.

The three of them nestled together and stayed quietly for a while.

"Alright, I'll cook tonight. I'm feeling a bit more enthusiastic than I have in a while."

Yue Shu perked up, and the two women smiled at her as she did so.

"Then we'll have to look forward to it. If it's not good, you'll be sleeping in the living room tonight."

"Then I'll just drain the water."

"you dare!"

"Hahaha."

Tsukiki looked at Kushina, and saw that this "Red Hot Chili Pepper" had turned as red as a chili pepper.

"Don't worry, I'll make sure you eat until you're stuffed and still want more tonight."

Yue Shu patted the two girls' heads gently.

"Okay! I need to go out and buy some groceries."

"Go ahead, we'll wait here. Tonight, the two of us will wait for you to finish cooking so you can get a good rest."

Mikoto and Kushina waved goodbye and smiled as they saw Tsukiki off at the door.

"Hey, Naruto, Sasuke, practice hard! I'm cooking for you tonight."

"real or fake?"

Tsukiki called out to Sasuke and Naruto, who were training outside, instantly waking them up from their listlessness and making them look energetic.

"Oh wow, Tsukiki can cook?"

Sand Clock stood aside and questioned, "How could Tsukiki possibly cook? It's delicate work, and even if she could, she wouldn't be very good at it."

"Dad's cooking is so delicious, it's the best food in Konoha, no, it's the best food in the entire ninja world."

"Uh-huh."

Even Naruto and Sasuke, who bicker from morning till night, share the same thought.

It's clear that Tsukiki's cooking is indeed of a certain standard.

"Then tonight is something to look forward to."

Onoshi sat by the lake, holding a fishing rod, sitting directly on the ground next to a wooden bucket.

Now, the little rock has transformed into a fisherman and stays here to fish.

"All I need is some wine. The wine from last time was quite good, very fragrant."

Yufeng was also next to Xiaoyeshi, and he had the same equipment as Xiaoyeshi, but the difference between the two was still obvious.

Onoshi's bucket had quite a lot of fish, but Yufeng's bucket only had a few small fish swimming around.
