Naruto: I get stronger by drawing lots

Sandstone Needle spoke to himself as he charged toward the fire dragon.

Swish!

Tsukiki's eyes widened.

His ninjutsu was cleaved open head-on by the sand needles!

"So as long as you use chakra, ninjutsu or something, one strike is enough."

The sand needles flew past the split fire dragon and rushed towards the moon tree.

Tsukiki quickly drew his Kusanagi sword to block, but he was sent flying the instant he blocked.

I don't have enough strength!

This is the fundamental flaw of the Moon Tree.

"Wind Release".

The moon tree flew backwards, its eyes fixed on the sand and stone needles.

It has to be said that the sand needle surprised him once again.

Sand Needle was seen forming a hand seal with one hand while holding a ninja sword in the other.

One-handed hand seals are a skill that not everyone can master; it requires a strong foundation in ninja techniques.

Without a doubt, sand and gravel needles are one of them.

"Great Wind Blade".

The sand needle hand seal was completed, but instead of spitting out a wind blade from the mouth as is customary, it was done in a different way.

The ninja sword he was holding in his other hand suddenly flashed, and the sand needle was swung out of thin air.

A faint wind blade flew out from the ninja sword, looking like a slash.

Tsukiki couldn't believe it; in the original story, no one had ever used a ninja sword to such a level.

Despite her surprise, Tsukiki didn't forget her predicament. She raised her Kusanagi sword and forcefully blocked the wind blade.

Another impact sent the moon tree flying even further.

boom!

His body slammed directly into the tree, and Tsukiki could feel the groans of his liver inside his body.

He spat out a mouthful of blood.

Yue Shu knelt on the ground, panting heavily. The impact of the blow had undoubtedly taken a heavy toll on his still-developing body.

"Wind Release: Cross Slash".

Sand Needle looked calm as he formed a hand seal with one hand and swung his ninja sword with the other.

Tsukiki raised his head, and the ninja sword slashed out.

It wasn't very clear, like a faint shadow, but cross-shaped wind blades flew out from the blade of the ninja sword, overlapping and flying towards the moon tree.

The wind parted to the sides, and the wind blades seemed to cut through the air itself; the Moon Tree couldn't even feel the wind in front of it.

"Iaijutsu!"

Tsukiki stared intently, and the Kusanagi sword in her hand shot out in response.

A strong wind blew up, spreading out in circles.

Sand Needle narrowed his eyes again; Moon Tree's move had piqued his interest.

--Can you unleash a slash without using chakra?

Sand and stone needles watched as the moon tree was blown away again by the strong wind.

But Yue Shu on the other side wasn't thinking about these things.

His thinking was very simple.

That is---

Hatake Sakumo definitely went easy on him!

When sparring with him, he didn't use any chakra attribute transformations. As one of the top swordsmen in the ninja world, his skill in adding chakra to his swordsmanship is definitely no less than that of the Sand Needle.

However, at present, Sandstone Needle is suppressing Moon Tree in terms of swordsmanship, even though this is due to the enhancement of chakra nature transformation.

Grinning, Yue Shu panted.

--I just don't want to lose to anyone when it comes to swordsmanship!

With increased pressure, Tsukiki stood up again and assumed a fighting stance.

"You look a bit like that, kid!"

The sand needle let out a cry and charged straight up.

"Come!"

Yue Shu called out and went to greet them.

This is a war song between weapons. Two people weave through the notes of the song, their swords telling tales of their masters' fighting spirit.

----

"Cough cough."

Minato Namikaze coughed up blood, leaned against a tree, and drooped his head.

"hateful."

Minato Namikaze's hands trembled so much that he could barely hold onto the kunai.

Even he, hailed as a genius, was no match for a rogue ninja of Jonin rank.

In just a few rounds, he was already injured, and now he can't even move.

"Let go!"

Hui's voice reached his ears, and Minato Namikaze looked up. Onoshi had already come to Hui's side. Kushina and Mikoto were surrounded and were staring at the sea of ​​people back to back.

Gritting his teeth, Minato Namikaze threw the kunai in his hand at Onoshi.

But reality is cruel; such a childish attack could be easily dealt with by Onoshi with a wave of his hand.

Pfft!

Minato Namikaze looked at his abdomen, only to be met with a kunai plunged into it.

It was the one he threw.

"do not want!"

In my ears were Kei's voice, Mikoto and Kushina's shouts, and finally the sounds of swords clashing.

--I can't lift my head, my eyes feel so heavy.

Minato Namikaze sensed it; his strength was slowly slipping away.

The next moment, Minato Namikaze was plunged into darkness.

Chapter Thirty-Seven: Total Annihilation?

"Iaijutsu!"

Tsukiki noticed the commotion on Kei's side and also saw Onoshi's actions.

With the mission target about to be kidnapped, Yue Shu naturally wouldn't just sit idly by; he unleashed a sword technique and slashed directly at them.

"Kid, don't look around during the fight!"

The attack from the Iaijutsu was blocked.

Yue Shu couldn't help but bare his teeth.

Standing before him was Sand Needle, a rogue ninja from Sunagakure whose swordsmanship was surprisingly superb.

Tsukiki understood that it was almost impossible for her to go and help.

but---

That was for Tsukiki, who hadn't revealed all her cards.

Chakra surged into his eyes, and in the blink of an eye, Yue Shu's eyes changed completely.

Three magatama floated in his blood-red pupils, and Tsukiki's entire demeanor turned cold.

"That eye."

The sound of the sand needles also became much colder.

"The eyes of the Uchiha!"

Tsukiki didn't care about any of that and charged forward with the Kusanagi Sword in hand.

Sand and Stone Needle did not panic; on the contrary, his aura became even stronger.

--I can see it!

The Moon Tree and the Sand Needle clashed again, and the Moon Tree clearly saw the opponent's momentary opening.

The vision was as if time had slowed down; Tsukiki could clearly see the movements of the sand needles, including every single detail.

"Spiral pills!"

Tsukiki hadn't forgotten about the dumpling. During a brief standoff, he used his other hand to give Sandstone Needle a dumpling to taste.

Sand Needle was also surprised that the opponent would use this move so suddenly.

Moreover, the Rasengan is a completely unsealed ninjutsu, and its speed of execution is so fast that even the Sand Needle couldn't react in time.

It was too late to draw the ninja sword to block it; the sand needle was hit by a Rasengan.

Despite being a non-attribute ninjutsu, the power generated by its rotation caused the sand needles to be spat out in one gulp, and then knocked back several meters away.

Tsukiki wouldn't let this opportunity slip by.

He drew several kunai from his waist, each with an explosive tag attached, and threw them directly at the sand needles.
