Naruto: I get stronger by drawing lots

Mikoto froze.

"Never push yourself too hard, Itachi."

Mikoto turned around and gently hugged Itachi. Their foreheads touched, and Itachi's hair was ruffled.

I'm going out.

The door closed, and Mikoto's footsteps gradually faded away.

Inside the house, only Itachi remained, standing silently.

Chapter 392: The Humans

"Get out of here, brat! Don't bring your bad luck to my shop."

Naruto was thrown to the ground and looked up to see the boss's angry face.

"Want this? Here you go. Now get away from my shop."

A fox mask was thrown directly at Naruto's face.

People started to gather around and began to discuss it.

Naruto gritted his teeth, a surge of grievance welling up inside him, but he stubbornly endured it.

A crowd gathered, including Sasuke, but no one dared to utter a sound of dissent.

Gritting his teeth, Naruto picked up the fox mask and started running. Pushing aside the surrounding crowd, Naruto's small body squeezed right through.

Why! Why!

Tears welled up in Naruto's eyes, but he forced them back.

I was surrounded by this group of people, all with similar expressions, expressions of contempt for the system.

Naruto absolutely did not want to show his vulnerable side.

I absolutely don't want it.

Naruto gritted his teeth, quickened his pace, and ran even faster.

"Humph."

Sasuke remained silent in the crowd, and finally turned and walked away.

Sasuke and Naruto's experiences were different, but now, in essence, they are the same.

That means they are all lonely people.

Naruto ran to a dark place, panting heavily.

Naruto was extremely upset by this treatment.

“Kill them.”

A voice kept echoing in Naruto's mind.

"Who?"

Naruto panicked and looked around frantically.

"who are you?"

"Who am I? I am you, you are me, your thoughts are my thoughts."

“I know, you want to kill them, everyone in this village who has treated you like that, you want to kill them all.”

"You want to pay back all the unfair treatment you've suffered!"

The voice kept echoing in his mind, and Naruto instantly clenched his hands.

You're lying!

"I didn't! You're lying! Who are you?! I never even thought that!"

Naruto shouted, refuting this idea, and kept shouting.

"Really? Are you really willing to accept this?"

"Are you really willing to let those guys who don't even treat you like a human being bully you like this?"

"I want to become Hokage!"

"I want to become the future Hokage and gain the recognition of everyone in the village."

"Really? You really want that? You want to become Hokage and protect these villagers who don't even treat you like a human being? That's ridiculous."

"Hahahaha, how ridiculous! Hahahahaha!"

The laughter echoed and echoed.

Naruto gritted his teeth, standing there in complete silence.

The Nine-Tails' chakra cloak kept emerging and covering Naruto.

In that instant, Naruto's pupils transformed into beastly eyes.

"I will! I will!"

Tears streamed down his cheeks and dripped onto the ground, and Naruto's face began to contort in a grimace.

"I will become the future Hokage!"

Naruto gripped his hands tightly, the increased power from the Nine-Tails' chakra causing him to scratch his palms until they bled.

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha.

The laughter lingered, as if mocking Naruto and the dream he spoke of.

Blood and tears dripped down together, then mixed and flowed onto the ground.

Night fell, and Naruto had returned home. He sat alone on the edge of the bed, quietly hugging his knees and leaning against the headboard.

"Hey, don't think I didn't notice, that nine-tailed brat almost failed to suppress the seal."

Inside the Hokage Building, the Third Hokage sat at his desk, while Danzo emerged from the shadows, muttering to himself.

"I understand. And don't be too presumptuous. Your roots have gone too far. Your roots should be someone hiding in the shadows."

“My men are watching Naruto every moment; he will not be in any danger.”

"If there are any problems with the seal, I will handle it myself, not leave it to Root!"

"Sarutobi, you!"

"The people from the Dark Guard have been standing guard all along; you don't need to help them. Don't neglect your duties."

"Your roots can now withdraw; I will take care of everything else."

After the Third Hokage finished speaking, Danzo gritted his teeth, a hint of resentment in his eyes, and then stepped back again.

"I hope everything goes as you wish, Sarutobi. You can't grasp everything with your hands."

Danzo left, leaving behind only one echoing sentence.

"You don't need to say it."

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the darkness before him and then replied softly.

"The Dark Division".

"Yes, Hokage-sama, what's wrong?"

"I'm quite optimistic about Naruto Uzumaki lately. If there are any signs of trouble, we should act immediately and take preventative measures."

"Yes, Lord Hokage, I will obey your orders."

"Okay, that's enough. You can step down now. We can't let anything be missing."

The ANBU withdrew, leaving only Hiruzen Sarutobi in the office.

Exhaling, Hiruzen Sarutobi stood up and looked out the window.

It is now night, and all is quiet, but only in this area.

The streets outside were still bustling with people. This was a magnificent sight created by Tsukiki and Minato together, which made Konoha the number one village in terms of economy.

"Konoha is in good condition now, and it can't withstand another Nine-Tails attack."

Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke softly, his words echoing in the empty office.

Was I wrong?

Naruto whispered softly, pulling the blanket over himself and shrinking into it.

They're just kids, and in this kind of environment, it's already very precious that they can stay true to their original aspirations.

Even the ideals and ideas of the Hokage are just fleeting whims.

Under these circumstances, Naruto began to waver greatly, and his originally pure heart began to turn dark.

The nine-tailed creature inside lay prone, its beastly eyes opened, and a smile appeared on its enormous face.

"Let me see what you can do."

"How pitiful, Kushina, Tsukiki, and Minato."

Nine-Tailed Fox smiled.

"You probably never imagined how your families are being treated these days."

"Hahahahaha!"

The Nine-Tails laughed loudly, its chakra under control. It didn't immediately leak out because it knew those old guys wouldn't let it go so easily.

Let's wait and see.

"Humans!"

Chapter 393: We Won

"Immortal Ninja Technique, Sea of ​​Oil and Fire".

Jiraiya formed a hand seal and spat out a mouthful of oil, at which point the two toads on his shoulders simultaneously followed.

One uses Wind Release and the other Fire Release; these two elders are second only to the Toad Elder at Mount Myōboku.

Shima and Fukasaku are able to unleash ninjutsu like ninjas.
