Naruto: I get stronger by drawing lots

As the personal chef, Minato Namikaze naturally possessed the key to the Senju residence.

This was given to him by Tsukiki himself; he was the one who invited Minato Namikaze in the first place.

Regarding this matter, Tsukiki said that there were some things she needed to talk to her past self about.

"I knew it was there."

A blonde figure walked in and looked at Tsukiki lying in the hammock, saying something helplessly.

Having been friends for so long, Minato Namikaze is extremely familiar with Tsukiki.

For Tsukiki, the people who have been with him the longest are Tsunade and Shizune, then the blond boy in front of him, and then Kushina.

"Sleeping again? Honestly, you never get enough sleep. Be careful you don't fall asleep and never wake up again."

The red-haired figure—Kushina followed behind Minato Namikaze, with Mikoto beside her.

"Sorry to bother you."

Mikoto is more formal, perhaps due to her Uchiha upbringing.

"Oh, that's a rare sight. You've all come here. What big thing has happened?"

Yue Shu glanced over here and spoke.

"No, I just came to visit you."

"What's so fun about this era that has no cultural entertainment? Boruto is a little better, at least it has a game console."

What are you talking about?

"It's nothing, just a sincere thank you to everyone."

Minato and the other two sat down, and Tsukiki ran into the living room, where he continued to lie down.

"Let's not talk about this anymore, let's go shopping, everyone's here anyway."

Minato Namikaze skillfully brought out some snacks, and the four of them sat down. Kushina immediately began to excitedly offer suggestions.

"Objection, troublesome."

No sooner had the words been spoken than Yue Shu's protests began to rise.

Meanwhile, Kushina, standing to the side, also began to widen her eyes and stare intently at Tsukiki.

"It's no use glaring at me. You finally have some free time, so get some rest. Go home, I'm snuggled up in bed thinking about you."

"No way, I'd rather die than end up like you."

"It's not that serious, is it?"

"Very much!"

"Uh-huh."

Tsukiki and Kushina started their usual bickering, and at this point, Minato Namikaze and Mikoto nodded in agreement with Kushina's thoughts.

I'm going to cry.

Yue Shu spoke indifferently, showing no sign of his sadness.

"Hey!"

Tsukiki sighed, looking at the sulking Kushina.

"it is good!"

"You agreed to go out?"

All three of them glanced at the moon tree.

What are you thinking?

Tsukiki smacked his lips. As a member of the stay-at-home group, Tsukiki was determined to carry out his stay-at-home policy to the end, saying it was because he planned to add some spice to this entertainment-starved era.

"Let me show you what I'm made of."

"The appearance of playing cards."

"Playing cards?"

The new words came out of Yue Shu's mouth, and all three of them began to wonder.

Fifteen minutes later—

"Jiang Jiang!"

Being a ninja after all, with the added benefit of chakra, and combined with his modern mind, Tsukiki quickly prepared a deck of cards.

The playing cards are made of cardboard and have a wonderful tactile feel.

"I really miss it."

Looking at the familiar things in front of him, Yue Shu was immediately overwhelmed with nostalgia.

The three of them looked on with curiosity.

Next, Tsukishiki began explaining the rules.

The first game was very simple and had many nicknames, such as "Thirteen Cards".

There were exactly four people, no more and no less.

And so, the first game of poker in the ninja world began—

"7 per sheet."

"2!"

"big."

"3 per sheet."

"??"

Tsukiki's series of bizarre moves left the three, who were gradually getting to know each other, completely bewildered.

"We have four 2s, you can play whatever you want."

"So they were all with you! That explains why I didn't have a single one."

"This guy's luck is just too good."

Yue Shu laughed arrogantly. The person in front of him didn't even know what "pretending to be something you're not" meant. This was wisdom from another world.

"Um, I think we should deal the cards next time."

The quiet, beautiful girl beside him suddenly spoke up, and Tsukiki's laughter immediately stopped.

"Ok?"

When Mikoto said that, Minato Namikaze and Kushina realized something. How could someone's luck be so good every time?

You cheated!

"What nonsense are you talking about? How can something done by scholars be called cheating?"

"You don't even read books."

"You don't understand this."

Tsuki and Kushina's voices echoed above the Senju mansion, and Tsuki never had that kind of "luck" again—

Chapter 63: Chunin Exams

"Lord Hokage, it's about time."

In the Hokage's office, a group of ninjas had gathered. If Tsuki and the others were there, they would have recognized a familiar face.

Those were the teachers at the ninja academy, Madara's teachers.

Although its presence isn't very strong.

"Hmm—it's already this late."

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked outside and saw that the village was peaceful and stable, so he couldn't help but sigh again.

"How peaceful it is."

"These are all the Hokage and all the martyrs who fought for Konoha."

"The Will of Fire will never be extinguished; the fire will continue to burn."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's voice grew lower and lower as he looked at the crowd gathered there.

"It is indeed time, but this time we will make an exception."

But now it is—

"We cannot stop the birth of geniuses."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's gaze was so firm that everyone was momentarily stunned.

"Yes, ma'am. I'll go and inform the others right away."

"Alright, you may all leave now."

After making the arrangements, Hiruzen Sarutobi began seeing the guests off.

"Hopefully nothing bad will happen."

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the two mission reports on the table.

Both missions were led by Jiraiya's squad.

"The Chunin Exams?"

Minato Namikaze was overjoyed. In this peaceful time, Konoha usually wouldn't let children graduate early, but would carefully preserve these sparks of talent. This Chunin Exams, however, was like those during wartime, allowing younger people to participate.

"So we can become Chunin now?"

"Seems to be."

Kushina and Mikoto also became excited.

Everyone has the desire to climb higher; it's human nature.

However, there are naturally some exceptions.
