Naruto: I get stronger by drawing lots

They specialize in medical skills, although some are primarily combat-oriented and later learned a little bit of medical ninjutsu as a side job. But those skills are only for emergencies and cannot compare to those of true medical ninjas.

dang!

The blade flashed, and I met it head-on with my broken sword, or I would die!

Looking at the enemy before them, their eyes were devoid of any emotion. These were all familiar faces—the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, whom they were so proud of, and their Mizukage.

Behind him, the white Zetsu were arranged in circles, one after another, stretching as far as the eye could see.

Given the overwhelming disparity in troop strength, total annihilation seemed inevitable.

Seeing this overwhelming scene before him, the knife in his hand lost its grip.

It's impossible now. They will lose, they will die. There's no way to resist. The gap is too big.

The light in their eyes faded, their will to survive slowly waning, and before them lay the renowned sword they knew so well, now fallen.

dang!

The weapons clashed, but the fatal blow to the head did not occur; instead, a large sword blocked his way.

"Sorry we're late, leave the rest to us!"

Darui stared ahead with his listless eyes, and with a forceful push, he shoved Zabuza aside.

"superior."

As the not-so-loud sound faded, figures began to dart out from behind and beside them!

Their reinforcements arrived at this very moment, at their most desperate time.

"Don't let our comrades sacrifice themselves in vain!"

Darui's voice was filled with anger, and his entire demeanor became more imposing.

"Lightning Release Chakra Mode".

Lightning crackled around his body as Darui gripped his greatsword, his eyes flashing with a sharp glint, as keen as the impending bolt of lightning.

"Earth Escape, Earth God Armor."

The earth beneath his feet covered his body, transforming into heavy armor that concealed the yellow soil, leaving only a pair of eyes radiating anger.

"Earth Escape, Earth God Fist."

On Iwagakure's side, Huang Tu also led his men to arrive. The battle situation there was also extremely dire, not much different from that in Kirigakure.

"All troops, attack! Annihilate the enemy!"

The loess soil was the first to bear the brunt, charging towards the enemy ahead—

The blade flashed from the sky, and Mifune forced back the enemy in front of him, with the others following closely behind.

"Fight alongside me and I will lead the charge!"

Mifune, wielding his katana, led the charge, his heavy samurai armor seeming to transport him back to the Sengoku period.

"Sandstorm sends us to our graves!"

"Lord Kazekage has arrived!"

"Lord Kazekage has come to our rescue!"

"Drive out all the enemies ahead!"

Gaara waved his hand, his eyes filled with unprecedented rage. The tragic scene before him was too much for Gaara to bear. Many of these people were from Sunagakure. How could Gaara not feel heartbroken?

"Charge! For Sunagakure! For the ninja world!"

Gaara stood amidst the sandstorm, and with a single glance, he spotted Rasa ahead—

The father and son looked at each other, and at that moment, Luo Sha's eyes seemed to regain a little light.

The long night has passed, and now comes eternal light; dawn has passed, and now comes a day of bright sunshine.

The Allied Shinobi Forces have begun their counterattack!

"How about it?"

"At this time, our troops should have arrived by now."

The four shadows sat here all night. The situation was very tense. Even if they did nothing, they wanted to sit here all night and wait for news.

Just now, news came that the intelligence units of the support forces from the five great ninja villages had begun sending messages, indicating that they had arrived at the location and had begun support operations.

"Great, it seems they've all arrived, but the casualties—"

The four Shadows listened to the intelligence report with grave expressions; the casualties were too much for them to bear.

"Damn you, Akatsuki!"

Ai, being quite temperamental, lost control of his punch, and the table shattered and fell to the ground.

"hateful!"

Ai cursed angrily, his aura rising, and the chakra within him burst forth.

"Calm down, getting angry won't do you any good."

The old man, Onoki, was very calm. Having lived through countless years and experienced countless wars, he was already used to it.

"hateful!"

As Onoki said this, Ai could only sulk, cursed again, and sat down once more.

"Seriously, people with short tempers are really something."

Mei Terumi complained from the side, "What a struggle!"

"I wanted to smash it too, but someone beat me to it."

Minato watched the two of them helplessly. Both of them had rather straightforward personalities, and Mei Terumi was far from being as calm as she appeared. Her ability to turn Kirigakure around was undeniable. She was definitely not some naive or innocent girl.

"Alright, now it's time to begin our next plan."

Minato started talking, and the other three people also became a little more serious.

The four looked at each other and then began to call for help.

"Call Anko and Kankuro over, and also Jiraiya-sensei."

All three were assigned to stay behind at headquarters. All three were skilled ninjas, with Jiraiya being one of the top performers. Minato's actions were also deliberate.

Just as Akatsuki was searching for the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails, the Allied Shinobi Forces were also searching for Akatsuki's location.

Impure World Reincarnation is a huge problem, and the best solution is to find the caster of the Impure World Reincarnation and defeat him.

In this way, the Impure World Reincarnation technique becomes ineffective. The Akatsuki, consisting of only 100,000 White Zetsu, is nothing to the Allied Shinobi Forces. Thus, the key to the war lies in the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

Of course, this only applies to Akatsuki; they also need to be wary of the Otsutsuki faction.

It's still unclear how things will turn out; for now, we can only focus on the things at hand.

A short while later, someone knocked on the door.

"Please come in."

"Excuse me, Your Excellencies."

Kankuro and Anko were talking, with Jiraiya following behind. Jiraiya's seniority was only slightly lower than Onoki's, so he didn't need to use any honorifics.

"Jiraiya-sensei, I told you about this before."

"I understand, I'll be leaving soon."

There's no need to say much; Jiraiya already knew. He and Tsunade were top-tier, and their positions were comparable to the Five Kage. He already knew about these plans.

"Anko, Kankuro, you will follow Jiraiya-sensei and be his assistants. This task is entrusted to you. Jiraiya-sensei will explain the specifics to you later."

The instructions were given simply, and that was the end of the audience.

"I'm afraid Xiao and his gang are still holding back some tricks."

"Who cares what it is, just break it all."

The four Kage have already given their orders, and Jiraiya has also begun preparations. This is the same idea as Akatsuki: the Allied Shinobi Forces will send out a search party to find the caster of the Impure World Reincarnation technique, namely Kabuto. The Impure World Reincarnation is the turning point of this war; everything depends on it.

Chapter 381: The Reconnaissance Troops Set Off

"Lord Jiraiya, what is our mission?"

Kankuro and Anko were both bewildered when they were summoned and then sent away with Jiraiya without even a few words of explanation.

They were still complaining, lamenting that they hadn't been able to go to the front lines and were instead staying here. It wasn't that it was bad, but they preferred to fight bravely on the front lines, even though they knew how dangerous it was, and that they might die a terrible death, not even leaving behind a complete corpse.

But that's the purpose of ninjas. From the very beginning, ninjas were born for battle. Rather than staying in headquarters and spending their time in safety, they preferred to go to the front lines and kill the enemy.

Most ninjas are fearless of powerful enemies. When they become ninjas, most of them have already mentally prepared themselves for the possibility of death, lying dead in the wilderness. These are all sudden events, and it is uncertain whether they will actually die tomorrow.

More than death, ninjas preferred to make sacrifices, just like samurai. No, perhaps all warriors are the same—ninjas, samurai, and others alike. They sought to die nobly rather than live well.

"Our mission is simple; the battle you've been waiting for will come soon."

Jiraiya chuckled:

"I hope you don't die too quickly then, because the enemy we'll be facing might be the most dangerous one."

"Next, we will form a team, let's call it the Reconnaissance Unit. The Reconnaissance Unit will be a combination of two squads, one is the Raid Squad and the other is the Intelligence Gathering Squad. You two will be the captains, and I will be the overall captain. We will be responsible for gathering intelligence on the enemy and finding the location of the reanimated user, Kabuto."

"Of course, this will definitely not be an easy task. According to our guess, the enemy's combat power is not fully mobilized. The attack of the five great ninja villages is just to distract us. They will send others to find the location of the Eight-Tails and the Nine-Tails. Our goals are similar on both sides, so the result is simple."

Jiraiya had already experienced two major wars, and his experience was second only to Onoki among the members of the Allied Shinobi Forces.

"We will face many skirmishes, and of course, the scale is uncontrollable. Putting that aside for now, do you understand this responsibility?"

"Roger that!"

Kankuro and Anko's eyes visibly lit up; they had finally gotten everything they had hoped for.

Going to the front lines to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions is what they longed for, and the current result has even exceeded their expectations.

The reconnaissance unit was given high expectations; how this war would unfold depended entirely on the progress of the reconnaissance unit.

"Don't underestimate this mission. You are all capable ninjas who can stand on your own. You have all been through a lot of ambushes and sneak attacks in skirmishes. If you're not careful, you could lose your life."

"We understand, we know that, but we are not afraid."

The unexpected unanimous agreement made Jiraiya smile.
