Naruto: I get stronger by drawing lots

The war horn had sounded; it was the afternoon after Obito declared war, and the first battle had already begun.

But that happened later; now, Akatsuki quietly appeared from the forest outside Konoha.

What was revealed was the face of a group of rogue ninjas, dressed in red robes with auspicious cloud patterns. They were the vanguard, and there were also many White Zetsu waiting nearby.

Perhaps sensing the atmosphere, the woods, usually filled with birdsong, were now eerily quiet.

"The houses by the small lake in the Uchiha compound are almost at the edge."

They were all top-tier rogue ninjas. From the very beginning, they had been advancing very stealthily. There were many ninjas patrolling the base, but they all managed to evade them.

They quietly approached the Moon Tree's house, where a group of people had already surrounded it.

"action!"

Knowing that the first attack would be a surprise attack, everyone simultaneously poked their heads out as soon as the words were spoken.

The hut was completely surrounded, but the group didn't notice a single movement.

"Nobody?"

They realized this immediately.

"when!"

Everyone rushed into the house, which was now in disarray.

After scanning the area, the group quickly discovered a hole in the ground.

Seeing the signs of use around them, and the obvious footprints indicating that they had just left, no one thought much and immediately followed.

"Keep up! We can't let that guy get away!"

The cave was pitch black, without a single ray of light, yet a sound kept echoing in my ears.

Those were footsteps, echoing down from the front.

Xiao was moving very fast. Soon, a light appeared ahead, and in front of the light, there was a child-like figure running.

"Boost!"

At the command, everyone sped up again, but the "children" in front were a little faster, and by the time they emerged from the cave, they had already disappeared.

"Something's strange, something's up!"

The group on Xiao's side began to realize that these things were like bait, tempting them.

Just then, a commotion came from the surrounding bushes. Xiao's side reacted very quickly and made a move immediately.

Blood spurted out, and a figure emerged from the bushes—it was Naruto, who was gritting his teeth and clutching his injured arm.

"So you were here! Kid."

The Akatsuki members laughed, but at that moment, Naruto ran without hesitation.

Do you think you can escape?

Xiao was about to give chase, but the sound of the wind stopped them. Only then did they realize that the area was already covered with thin wires. With this kind of layout, touching the wires would probably cause the detonation tag to explode.

"You're too green to catch Naruto!"

"Hahahahaha!"

Naruto, who was running away, laughed loudly, directly facing the Akatsuki members and laughing.

At this moment, the members of the Allied Shinobi Forces began to reveal themselves one by one and surrounded Naruto.

"Was it really a trap?"

Xiao's group didn't look too bad; they also had their back cards.

"Given the current situation, it's not easy for you to make a move, but you've misjudged one thing: Xiaoke doesn't have that few people!"

"They're not that weak!"

The leader slammed his palm directly onto the ground.

"Earth Escape, Soft Earth Flow Ladder".

The entire ground began to float and undulate, all the wires were detonated, and the hidden explosive tags began to explode.

The members of Akatsuki surrounded the person in the middle who was using Earth Release, and each of them used Earth Release simultaneously, forming an earth shield that covered everyone.

"Come out, White Zetsu."

With so many explosions, Naruto was shielded and forced to retreat. At that moment, White Zetsu began to emerge from mysterious places, appearing in tree trunks and underground.

"You think your ambush was successful? Our ambush was the one that succeeded!"

Amidst the thick smoke, a voice rang out, and at the same time, another group of people descended from the sky.

The arrival of White Zetsu and two groups of rogue ninjas caused the Allied Forces to appear with serious expressions, with Naruto being protected in the middle.

"Don't underestimate people!"

Naruto shouted, and the allied forces faced the massive army with resolute expressions.

"It's just that you're not strong enough! But if you willingly offer up the Nine-Tails within you, then we might let you go."

As they said this, the members of Akatsuki all revealed wicked smiles.

It's obvious that this was just a joke; they had no intention of letting them off the hook.

"I think you don't need to. You should beg us to let you go."

A cold voice came from below, and everyone in the group was stunned.

boom!

The ground collapsed, and the members of the Allied Shinobi Forces jumped out one by one.

"Copy Ninja - Kakashi".

Someone called out from Akatsuki's side. Yes, the leader was Kakashi, who had already removed his headband, his heterochromatic eyes looking at the Akatsuki members and White Zetsu.

Looking around, they saw that the area was completely surrounded by the Allied Shinobi Forces, and there were quite a lot of them.

"When exactly is it?!"

"I don't think I need to answer your question; you just need to know that you will stay here."

"Go! Leave no one alive!"

At Kakashi's command, all members of the Allied Shinobi Forces began to act. The weaker ones dealt with the White Zetsu, while the higher-ranking fighters went straight for the rogue ninjas.

"Damn it! Damn it!"

Xiao was outmaneuvered; they were at a disadvantage in terms of both numbers and everything else, and they were surrounded, effectively blocking any possibility of escape.

"Don't underestimate people."

The words echoed in his ears, and a flash of lightning appeared in his eyes.

"Lightning Release: Double Lightning Blade".

With lightning in both hands, Kakashi moved incredibly fast, using his Body Flicker twice to instantly kill the two men during the brief opening.

With a thunderous voice, Kakashi, like the Grim Reaper, struck with a move that instantly extinguished life.

"Damn it! Damn it!"

"At least! At least!"

The leader looked at Naruto; Naruto wasn't getting much protection right now, which presented a good opportunity.

He saw this fleeting opportunity and instantly became envious, his eyes fixed solely on Naruto.

He formed hand seals and immediately began to unleash his strongest single-target ninjutsu. His eyes were fixed solely on Naruto. No matter who stood in his way or what kind of attack it was, even if his body ached, he charged forward.

"Oops."

The calm tone of Kakashi's voice excited the leader even more, and a look of fear flashed across his eyes as he saw Naruto.

"go to hell!"

If he succeeds, his hand, powerful enough to pierce another's heart, will be thrust into it.

"puff!"

Naruto, who was standing in front of him, changed his expression from fear to making a face at him.

"Hey?"

The sensation in his hand vanished instantly, and Naruto in front of him turned into a wisp of smoke.

"Shadow Clone—"

"Right, shadow clones."

A crackling sound of electricity filled my ears as my flesh was pierced through.

"Raychi".

"Cough cough cough."

He spat out a mouthful of blood.

His consciousness blurred, his body went limp, and he collapsed.

"I'm sorry, you lost this time."

The lightning in Kakashi's hand dissipated, indicating that all the members had been wiped out and that the White Zetsu was also retreating.

In their first encounter, the Allied Shinobi Forces emerged victorious.

With almost no damage, a large number of combat troops were gained in exchange; this was a very worthwhile move.

When the news reached headquarters, morale soared once again.

"It seems we've won our first battle."

"Well done, fourth generation, truly refreshing."

The Allied Ninjas won a great victory in their first battle, which was truly gratifying.

This operation was planned long ago. Naruto had already been secretly taken to Turtle Island by the Flying Thunder God Technique, while Sasuke was taken away by Itachi. Kushina went to Turtle Island with Naruto, and Mikoto, as agreed, became one of Tsunade's assistants.

From the very beginning, they were guiding Xiao, leading him deeper and deeper, while they waited patiently for him to come to them.
