Naruto: I get stronger by drawing lots

Tsunade and the Third Hokage were having a conversation, while Tsukiju stood by and exclaimed that they were experts.

The Third Hokage's words were bittersweet, and he finally made a request, which Tsunade would surely not refuse.

That's brilliant, absolutely brilliant!

Even Yue Shu couldn't help but sigh at how deep the waters were in the political arena.

"You are the best medical ninja in Konoha, without exception. I hope you can teach a child, a child you may know."

A hint of doubt flashed in Tsunade's eyes, and at that moment the Third Hokage called out to the outside.

"Come in."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a sound came from the doorway, and Tsunade and Tsukiki looked behind them together.

She had short black hair, a delicate face, and was dressed in all black. She was older than Tsukiki and looked like a teenage girl.

Tsukiki knew her, and Tsunade knew her too.

Tsukiki turned to look at Tsunade, only to see that Tsunade's pupils had shrunk, her mouth was trembling uncontrollably, and even her hands were shaking.

Tsunade's breathing became heavy. Of course, she recognized the girl in front of her. This was Kato Shizune, the niece of her first love, Kato Dan.

The moment Tsunade saw her, she recalled the moment she heard the news of Kato Dan and his younger brother Senju Nawaki's deaths.

She never wanted to experience that kind of despair again!

She felt a sensation in her hand, and Tsunade, breathing softly, looked to the side. Tsukiki was looking at her with those bright eyes, his small hand tightly holding hers.

Rope Tree —

Tsunade calmed down, and in that instant, she seemed to see Nawaki, and her heart suddenly calmed down.

That brat.

Tsunade recovered and a smile appeared on her lips.

"Nice to meet you, I am Kato Shizune, Lady Tsunade. Please allow me to learn from you."

The black-haired girl seemed a little nervous, and her speech was somewhat slurred.

"it is good."

Tsunade spoke softly, and Tsukiki held her hand, which calmed her down.

"Thank you so much!"

The silent voice carried a joyful tone, and the happiness on the little face was evident.

"From now on, Shizune will be in your care for Tsunade."

The third generation nodded as he observed all of this.

"Okay, teacher."

After replying, Tsunade and Tsukiki led Shizune out of the Hokage's office.

After that, Tsunade took Tsukiki to the home of Konoha's White Fang.

At this time, Kakashi Hatake was not yet born, and Kakashi Hatake was still a bachelor, with nothing but knives in his house.

After explaining, Hatake Sakumo cheerfully accepted the Tsukiki sword, seemingly happy that someone liked swordsmanship.

It's worth mentioning that, in addition to this, Hatake Sakumo also gave Tsukiki a short sword. The sword was about 60 or 70 centimeters long, not too long or too short, but long enough. Now Tsukiki's swordsmanship skills could come in handy.

After that, Tsukiki was able to consult Hatake Sakumo about swordsmanship. In addition, Tsukiki's family had a new member, Kato Shizune, who moved in with Tsunade Tsukiki, which greatly reduced Tsukiki's housework.

School days continued one after another, mainly focusing on the use of kunai. The Three Body Techniques had not yet been taught. Under Tsuki's guidance, Tsuki and Kushina's relationship improved, and Minato Namikaze, who often came over, also gradually became much closer to Kushina.

Everything was moving steadily, peaceful and beautiful.

Chapter Six: Rescuing Kushina

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique".

Tsukiki spat out a fireball from his mouth, which headed towards Minato Namikaze.

"Wind Release - Great Breakthrough".

Minato Namikaze was not to be outdone. He quickly formed hand seals and then exhaled a strong gust of wind from his mouth.

The wind and the fireball collided, but instead of one prevailing over the other, they canceled each other out.

With a swift movement, Tsukiki drew the short sword from his waist and charged straight at Minato Namikaze.

Minato Namikaze reacted quickly, immediately gripping his kunai for defense.

Unfortunately, Tsukiki's swordsmanship was superb, and he broke through Minato Namikaze's defense in one strike. Then, his next sword strike was only a few centimeters away from Minato's face.

Minato Namikaze was defeated in this match.

"I won again."

"I'll definitely win next time!"

Tsukiki smiled, looking at the slightly unwilling face of the Fourth Generation.

Even the most famous genius in the Naruto world can have such an expression. Minato Namikaze, who is hailed as the purest genius, is now being suppressed by him. Tsukiki must be feeling incredibly pleased.

Both sides extended their hands to each other as a gesture of reconciliation, and that concluded today's lesson.

This time, Minato Namikaze had something to do and didn't go home with Kushina and Tsuki. Only Tsuki and Kushina strolled around the streets of Konoha.

"Speaking of which, I didn't know about your dream, Tsukiki. You're so amazing, do you want to become Hokage too?"

As they walked, Kushina suddenly asked.

It was dusk, the blue sky had turned red, and fiery clouds drifted lazily by.

"me?"

Tsukiki was taken aback, not expecting anyone to suddenly ask her such a question.

"Yeah, the Hokage?"

Tsukiki looked at Kushina's somewhat round face and smiled.

"I have no intention of competing with you for the Hokage position, so don't worry."

Even if you try to steal it from me, I won't lose to you!

Kushina puffed out her cheeks, making her already round face look even rounder.

Tsukiki glanced at Kushina, then looked towards Hokage Cliff, where three portraits stood out prominently—those were the three Hokage from Konoha's history.

"The Hokage? That's really something. He's powerful, responsible, and practically a hero."

"Right!"

"But..."

"I'm not the kind of person who wants to be a hero."

Tsukiki looked at Kushina.

"My dream is probably to open a small shop and live a good life. Isn't that wonderful?"

Kushina looked at Tsukiki, her face drooping, looking somewhat unhappy.

"I'm going back now."

Kushina's voice came over, and Tsukiki looked at her. The red hair that swept past her eyes drifted by, leaving only her back to Tsukiki.

Kushina ignored Tsukiki and ran away.

Yue Shu sighed. He understood why. It's normal for a child to feel emotional when the person they hold most dear in their heart is not valued by others.

It would be troublesome for Yue Shu to catch up now, so it would be better to wait until school tomorrow to ease things up.

Thinking this, Tsukiki headed towards her home.

"What? I don't want to be a hero!"

"Idiot, idiot!"

Kushina jogged along, thinking about Tsukiki's face, constantly calling him an idiot.

Everyone wants to be understood. As the first person to approach and help Kushina after arriving in Konoha, Tsukiki held a heavy place in Kushina's heart, like a very good friend. However, now that her best friend failed to understand her and instead acted contrary to her expectations, Kushina felt a sense of loss in an instant.

An unusual feeling suddenly arose between the friends, leaving Kushina, who had always been alone, unsure how to handle it.

"Fool!"

Perhaps she was tired from running, Kushina started walking.

Step by step, the red-haired figure slowly walked to the front door in the twilight.

"Hmph, the Hokage is the strongest and most powerful person in the village, Tsuki, you idiot."

As if venting her frustration, Kushina shouted something at the gate.

"Not necessarily."

A mature male voice rang out from the side, and Kushina immediately became alert.

"At least the most capable person in the village didn't discover us."

As soon as she finished speaking, Kushina only saw a few dark shadows flash by before a sense of powerlessness entered her mind, and her vision slowly went black.

"Alright, we've got the target. Let's get out of here before Konoha can react."

As night fell, shadowy figures emerged, removing their disguises and donning the headbands that represented Kumogakure once more.

Their purpose in Konoha was simple: to find a suitable vessel for a Jinchūriki, and Kushina was the vessel they were looking for.

"Mission triggered: Rescue Kushina Uzumaki who has been kidnapped by Kumogakure. Reward for completing the mission: one lottery draw."

Yue Shu had just arrived home and was about to start cooking when an electronic voice came through.

Without hesitation, Yue Shu stood up and rushed out.

Why now of all times? Things have been so peaceful lately that I completely forgot about it!

Tsukiki gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and walked with all his might toward the main gate of Konoha.

On the other side, feeling the jolts and jolting, Kushina slowly woke up.

When she woke up, she found that her mouth was gagged, her arms were tied, and she had no strength at all.
