Naruto: I get stronger by drawing lots

Minato Namikaze sat on the ground, looking at the thick smoke above his head.

"careful!"

Just as Jiraiya's voice reached his ears, Minato Namikaze saw it.

The wind blew away the thick smoke, and the huge fire dragon swooped down, disappearing without a trace.

--Too late!

Minato Namikaze stood there, stunned; he couldn't possibly escape in time.

The fear of death pressed in, and Minato Namikaze even felt his heart stop for a moment.

Snapped!

--Why?

Minato Namikaze's body flew through the air.

His gaze turned back.

That was the figure of Jiraiya throwing himself away.

"Jiraiya--"

boom!

"teacher--"

The fire dragon engulfed Jiraiya completely. Minato Namikaze no longer saw a person; all he saw was the blazing flames.

Minato Namikaze reached out his hand in that direction, but couldn't touch anything.

He fell to the ground, rolled several times, and finally lay face down.

Minato Namikaze looked up and saw the flames burning fiercely, the heat wave hitting his face, and he could feel the intense burning sensation.

"Jiraiya-sensei!"

The golden figure screamed, its voice cracking.

Seemingly hearing Minato Namikaze's shout, the flames slowly shrank, revealing human figures within.

"Hahaha! Hahaha!"

That wasn't Jiraiya's laughter!

Minato Namikaze stared intently at the flames, and finally, the figure inside was revealed.

It's Kuroba!

Kuroba, who was laughing loudly with his head thrown back, and Jiraiya, who was lying on the ground and had turned black, were also there.

"Next up are you!"

Kuroba licked his lips and looked at Minato Namikaze, who was lying on the ground.

His disheveled figure, with blood still on his lips and his face covered in mud, made him look like a demon!

He laughed, and the demon laughed too!

Chapter 43: Wood Release

"Jiraiya--"

"teacher."

Minato Namikaze lay sprawled on the ground, looking extremely disheveled.

Snapped.

Kuroba's foot stepped on Jiraiya's head.

Jiraiya, who had already fainted, was manipulated like a doll, his body, which was as black as charcoal, was still steaming.

"The Mad Demon, Jiraiya."

Kuroba fiddled with his feet, stomping on Jiraiya several times.

"The Sannin are nothing special."

Kuroba licked his lips with a disdainful expression.

"Don't touch Jiraiya-sensei! You bastard."

Minato Namikaze shouted, having no chakra left and his body already at its limit, he had no strength left to support himself.

"Oh?"

Kuroba put down his foot and walked slowly over to Minato Namikaze with a smile.

"You brats from Konoha are really interesting."

Kuroba squatted down in front of Minato Namikaze and lifted Minato's chin with his hand.

"They clearly have no power, yet they all show no fear. Is that courage?"

"Is it simply stupidity?"

bitter

Kuroba was slightly surprised and glanced at Minato Namikaze.

He used his last bit of strength to swing and stab himself, but it was all in vain; he couldn't even break through the defense.

However, Kuroba's expression darkened.

"How interesting!"

Kuroba laughed.

"Diamond Seal!"

Kuroba stomped his foot down toward Minato Namikaze's forehead, but chains reached out and just managed to stop the kick.

"Ah!"

Kuroba looked toward the chains, where the red-haired girl was shouting and constantly squeezing out her chakra.

The chains extending from behind her continued to reach towards Kuroba.

call out.

Kuroba glanced to the side again, and Minato Namikaze, who had been lying there, was gone.

A quick glance around revealed the blond figure.

He was being carried away on a girl's back.

In addition, he also saw a familiar figure.

Jiraiya, who was dressed in black, was also taken away by that girl.

That small body carried two people, but its speed did not decrease.

"One by one!"

Kuroba finally erupted in fury, his chakra surging forth. His ocean-like chakra directly eroded Kushina's chains, causing them to snap.

The unique bloodline power of the Uzumaki clan backfired, and Kushina collapsed. However, her strong character allowed her to hold on to her body.

"Let me go! Kushina!"

"I believe in Kushina!"

Minato Namikaze became anxious when he saw Kushina kneeling on the ground.

But Mikoto, who was carrying him, quickly stopped him.

"Mikoto——"

Minato Namikaze stopped calling out; he could feel the tremor in Mikoto's voice.

On Kushina, Mikoto endured far more than he did.

Knowing this, Minato Namikaze fell silent.

Looking ahead, Kushina saw Kuroba's attack coming and made no move to dodge.

If this continues, Kushina will undoubtedly be hit head-on, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

Get out of the way!

Minato Namikaze was screaming in his heart, but Kushina made a different move.

Her body relaxed, her eyes still shining brightly.

As usual, she wore a boss-like smile, showing no fear, or if she was, it was invisible.

"Moon Tree!!!"

Minato Namikaze finally called out, not to Jiraiya, but to his nemesis, the nemesis he had never defeated.

He didn't know where Tsukiki was now, but he knew that Tsukiki had long since lost the ability to fight and was probably unable to stand up like him, but Minato Namikaze believed it.

No matter what, that guy will definitely respond!

"Wood Release: Wood Wall Technique!"

Kuroba's figure was only twenty centimeters in front of Kushina when a wooden wall suddenly rose from the ground, blocking the way between Kuroba and Kushina.

"Wood Release: Wood Spike Technique".

With a bang, the wooden wall didn't break, but a dent was visibly formed.

As the sound subsided, wooden spikes began to emerge from the ground, forcing Hei Yu to retreat to the side.

"Thanks for your hard work."

The familiar voice fell beside her ears, and Kushina's body collapsed.

"Too late, you idiot!"

Kushina was gently caught and could feel Tsukiki's body temperature. Her face turned slightly red, and she muttered a complaint.

She didn't know if the Moon Tree would save her, but a year ago, her hero was already this still somewhat immature guy in front of her.

Slow-witted, lazy, and only knows how to sleep all day, but—
