Naruto: I get stronger by drawing lots

Page 66

Yu Feng paid no attention and his figure slowly disappeared into the distance.

"If you can keep your word back then, I'm ready to go anytime."

Yu Feng's voice drifted past her ears on the wind, and she didn't pay much attention to Yue Shu's words.

Yue Shu watched his departing figure for a long time.

"Seriously, what are you thinking? If he doesn't let us go, we're doomed."

Kushina said something, but the smile on her face was impossible to hide.

"Well, as long as the result is good, that's all that matters. I just lost control for a moment."

Tsukiki sheathed his Kusanagi sword and shrugged.

"Kushina."

"Ok?"

Tsukiki let out a breath.

"Go back, village."

Tsukiki touched Kushina's red hair.

"Okay. Let's go back."

It turned out to be a close call, and Kushina's expression was extremely gentle.

Although she had no idea about the mess that followed her being taken away.

—It's finally over. I guess it's alright, I guess.

Tsukiki led Kushina outside.

"Mission: Protect the next Jinchuriki. Reward: One lottery draw."

The system's electronic sound went off.

Yue Shu's mind immediately relaxed.

—Is it safe now? This system, it makes such a simple thing so complicated.

Tsukiki's legs almost gave way, and he was just one step away from collapsing. That wouldn't be good in front of Kushina.

Tsukiki gave a wry smile and continued walking towards the village with the red-haired girl behind him.

The resort has become a tragedy, and Tsukiki will not allow Kushina to touch it.

In any case, this is truly the end.

Chapter Sixty: Returning to the Village

"Moon Tree, Moon Tree, we're almost there."

"Huh? Where to?"

"Where else could it be but a village?"

In front of the gates of Konoha, a boy and a girl, two little ones, were slowly strolling over.

These two little ones are Kushina and Tsukiki.

Fortunately, Kushina was rescued without much effort, and Tsukiki and Kushina embarked on their journey back to the village.

Of course, the two of them weren't very familiar with the route, and it took them several days to get there, not much longer than when they came out of the escort mission.

"We've finally arrived."

Tsukiki sighed helplessly.

These past few days, it's been tough sleeping outdoors with Kushina. Tsukiki has even been forced to learn to sleep in trees and stay alert in his dreams. In addition, he's learned to cook wild game, since he still needs to eat and drink.

Tsukiki thus became a survival expert, even though it was just a basic skill for ninjas.

"Hey! Hey!"

Kushina got excited. After being away for so long, she could finally go home. She ran off to the village entrance and waved to everyone.

"Ok?"

"Did you hear a sound?"

The two guards at the entrance exchanged a glance, then looked outside.

A red-haired girl named Kushina is running towards you.

Then, both of them exclaimed in surprise, seemingly quite astonished to see Kushina.

Then, an hour later, in the Hokage's office.

How did you get back?

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Tsuki and Kushina in front of him and asked a question.

Just a few days ago, after Minato Namikaze and Mikoto were brought back by Jiraiya's Gamachū, Konoha immediately learned of this incident.

The third generation immediately ordered reinforcements, but according to the troops, the resort was deserted when they arrived.

In almost every household, blood was flowing like a river, and the appearance of the homeowners was so tragic that it was unbearable to look at.

There were still traces of the battle; basically half of the resort was in ruins, showing how large the battle was.

The troops naturally conducted a search, but found no survivors; none of the people who had traveled with Minato Namikaze could be found.

Even Jiraiya, a disciple of the third generation, disappeared without a trace.

The search yielded no results, and with no other options, the supporting troops had to return. This incident shocked the entire ninja world.

The hot spring resort turned into a tragedy, and other hot spring resorts in the vicinity began to desert. Not to mention guests, even the local residents began to evacuate, hoping to temporarily avoid the storm. Who knows if the next place they stayed will be the next one?

No one knows who the culprit is, but Konoha obtained scattered information from Minato Namikaze.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was well aware that a powerful force was emerging in the shadows, so strong that it had wiped out an entire resort, and now the fate of its disciples was unknown.

Not only that, Konoha is currently in the process of changing the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, but the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki has been kidnapped. This loss is fatal to Konoha. Not just anyone can serve as a Jinchuriki. If someone is not suitable, it is equivalent to releasing the Tailed Beast directly.

That would be like shooting yourself.

"That's how we walked back, what else could it be?"

Tsukiki looked completely normal, showing little emotion.

Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't possibly uncover any information. Kushina didn't know much either; it was mostly things that Tsuki and Jiraiya were dealing with. Minato Namikaze probably knew a little more than the two women.

Seeing Tsuki's state, Hiruzen Sarutobi was about to speak when someone at the door preemptively spoke first.

"Kid, are you alright?"

"Kushina!"

One voice was that of a young woman, and the other was that of an old woman, both calling out to different people.

The door opened directly, and Hiruzen Sarutobi had no choice but to keep his words to himself.

I was originally planning to ask them more questions.

The person who entered was someone Kushina knew.

Lady Tsunade and Grandma Mito.

Tsukiki had never met Mito before, but upon seeing her this time, he had to admit that she was indeed a very elegant old woman.

Even though she is over sixty, you can still feel the vitality in her body, unlike ordinary elderly people.

"It's not that easy to die. If you stop cursing me, I reckon I can live for another hundred years."

Tsunade immediately grabbed Tsukiki's head and started rubbing it. Tsukiki helplessly slapped the woman's hand away.

"Grandma Mito, I'm alright now."

Kushina spoke up as she watched Mito touching herself, seemingly trying to confirm if she was whole.

It's tragic, really. Of the vast Uzumaki clan, only a handful of such talented individuals remain. The two remaining members are practically the few left in the entire ninja world.

"It's alright, it's alright."

Mito smiled, and it was clear that she cared deeply for Kushina.

"Moon Tree, are you alright?"

A blond head popped out from the doorway; it was Minato Namikaze.

This guy had mostly recovered from his injuries, so Mikoto followed behind him.

Now Jiraiya's team is reunited, but Jiraiya isn't there.

Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately asked this question. After all, Jiraiya was his precious disciple and one of Konoha's top combat forces, making him very important to the village and to himself.

"Don't worry, the lecherous immortal is fine."

"The Toad Sage has arrived!"

A gust of wind rushed in through the doorway.

Speak of the devil, and he appears; Jiraiya jumped right in.

Tsukiki watched from the side, not expecting Jiraiya to return so quickly.

"Jiraiya, are you alright—"

Hiruzen Sarutobi had just breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Jiraiya's hand hanging down.

Although the petrification problem was solved, Jiraiya's hand didn't recover quickly; natural energy is no ordinary thing.

"It's nothing, it's nothing serious."

The atmosphere suddenly became somber, and Jiraiya smiled, waving his movable hand.

"It's perfect time to take a vacation; I've been waiting for this for so long."

"You seem to be in good spirits."
