Naruto: I get stronger by drawing lots

As she watched the village of Konoha slowly recede into the distance, its lights still shining, and as she was being taken away by someone else, Kushina felt a sudden, inexplicable panic.

After pausing for a moment, Kushina gritted her teeth, suppressed her panic, and then used her weak arms to lift herself up.

There wasn't much she could do, but her hair was just long enough to reach her arms, so Kushina didn't have to exert much effort to reach it.

As she focused her thoughts, Kushina slowly channeled her chakra, cutting off a strand of her bright red hair and letting it fall to the ground.

The ninja who kidnapped her seemed to be in a hurry and had no time to care about Kushina, giving Kushina an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

With tears welling in her eyes, Kushina suppressed her fear and cut off a piece of her hair every now and then, letting it fall to the ground.

I'm going to be the first female Hokage!

As Kushina thought this, she looked at the increasingly distant Konoha Village and the ever-dimming light.

For some reason, at this moment she thought of someone who didn't want to be a hero, the first person to stand up for her and become her friend.

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

As Tsukiki's words echoed in her ears, Kushina's eyes darkened considerably.

"What! Kushina has been kidnapped! What are you doing?! I was only gone for a short while, what are you doing?!"

At this very moment, in the Hokage's office, the elderly Mito Uzumaki looked furious.

"Mobilize all available personnel immediately. If anything happens to Kushina, I will personally go and investigate, no matter who it is!"

Mito Uzumaki roared in fury, but the Hokage's office remained silent; not even the Third Hokage uttered a single sarcastic remark.

Mito Uzumaki is a seasoned Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and can use some of the Nine-Tails' power. If Mito were to force her way in, the Third Shinobi World War would be imminent. At the very end of the Second Shinobi World War, no one could bear the responsibility.

"Who on earth dares to do such a thing so soon after World War II!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was also somewhat angry, but he calmed down and immediately dispatched all the ninjas to search for Kushina. At the same time, the main gate of Konoha was completely sealed off.

Unfortunately, it was already too late.

Konoha Village had vanished from sight, and all around was a dark forest. They were almost out of the Land of Fire. Kushina's eyes were fading, and she kept letting her hair down to call for help, but it seemed that no hero would stand up for her this time.

"They shouldn't be able to catch up now that we're here. I thought it would be much more difficult, but we succeeded so easily."

The three from Kumogakure smiled at each other and were about to cross the border when a dark shadow swept past them.

"who!"

The people of Kumogakure immediately went on alert. A white and blue light flashed, and a figure headed towards them.

"Spiral pills!"

As soon as he finished speaking, one of the people from the Hidden Cloud Village was hit and sent flying.

"hateful!"

The other two ninjas reacted immediately and launched a counterattack, not even paying attention to Kushina.

Seizing the opportunity, Tsukiki didn't even bother with defense and went straight for Kushina.

As the kunai fell, blood splattered. Tsukiki gritted his teeth and endured the pain, picking Kushina up in his arms and fleeing to the side.

"Damn it, the target has been stolen, give chase!"

In just a second, the remaining two ninjas from Kumogakure began to catch up with Tsuki.

Hearing heavy breathing in her ears, Kushina's eyes lit up again. She looked up and saw that her delicate and youthful face was covered in sweat, her gaze fixed intently ahead.

"Idiot?"

Tsukiki glanced at Kushina, then used one hand to gently undo the gags and gags from her mouth and hands.

"How pathetic, Blood Red Pepper."

Tsukiki held Kushina in his arms, hopping along the forest step by step.

Why you?

Kushina's voice was weak; her body had not yet recovered.

Yue Shu smiled, the wind whistling past her ears, and two figures following closely behind her.

"why?"

"Because I don't want to lose you."

"Besides, you were hoping for a hero to appear, so I came."

After Yue Shu finished speaking, his eyes turned serious. The people from Kumogakure were about to catch up behind him, and Yue Shu was not fast enough for them.

If they catch up, Tsukiki alone wouldn't be a match for them, especially since he was injured when he unexpectedly snatched Kushina back from them.

He could never be a match for them head-on. No matter what, if the other side could act as a spy in Konoha to capture Jinchuriki, they must be at least top-tier Chunin. Tsuki, a child, could only unleash combat power at the Chunin level. There was no way he could win in a head-on confrontation. Moreover, the opponent's experience was far beyond Tsuki's capabilities.

Chapter Seven: Battle Against the Cloud Ninja

Swish.

The kunai pierced through the air, and Tsukiki, holding Kushina, was unable to retaliate.

By twisting his body in mid-air, Tsukiki barely managed to dodge, though the kunai still lightly grazed his thigh.

Gritting his teeth, Yue Shu was well aware of his current predicament.

Konoha Village was still some distance away, and he only had himself as his fighting force. On the other side were experienced ninjas, unlike the seriously injured genin he had dealt with before, these were genuine chunin or higher ninjas.

"Mission Triggered: Survive this rescue. Mission completion rewards you with one lottery draw."

The system's voice rang in his mind. Yue Shu fell to the ground and hid behind the tree, just managing to dodge a bunch of kunai, but as a result, he was caught up by the people behind him.

This task... well, there's no other way, so why not use a lottery to motivate me?

Yue Shu gave a wry smile as she listened to the sounds around her.

"Hey kid, you've got nowhere to run now, huh? Just hand over the person honestly or we'll take him ourselves. If you behave, we might give you a quick death."

A grown man's voice rang out from behind the tree. Tsukiki and Kushina had been caught up and couldn't outrun him, so they had no choice but to confront him head-on.

Gently placing Kushina on the ground and letting her lean against the tree, Tsukiki smiled at her.

"Be good, I'll be back in a bit."

"What do you want to do!"

Snapped.

It was that familiar feeling again; a sense of powerlessness washed over her, and Kushina felt everything go black before her eyes, her vision slowly blurring.

"Do not"

"I will definitely bring you back to Konoha, and we'll go home together."

Kushina looked at Tsukiki's blurry face, reached out her small hand, but fainted the next moment.

Tsukiki took a deep breath, revealing his figure to the two ninjas from Kumogakure.

"Interesting, did you come out? Little mouse."

They smiled and licked their lips.

"To be able to take down one of our people when we weren't paying attention, not bad, a genius from Konoha?"

Both of them held kunai in one hand, their eyes filled with indifference.

"What I love most is dragging geniuses like you down to hell!"

There was no shame in bullying the weak with numbers; the two Cloud Ninja attacked together.

coming!

Yue Shu's heart skipped a beat, and a flash of red appeared in his eyes as he clearly saw the actions of the two Cloud Ninja.

Those who didn't choose insurance retreated, but Kushina was right behind them; they had no way to retreat.

Tsukiki held his breath, his body just barely grazing the incoming kunai, and then took the opportunity to repel the two Cloud Ninja.

"Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique".

He immediately formed hand seals, and Yue Shu seized the opportunity to press his advantage.

"Earth escape, earth flow wall."

The voice of the Cloud Ninja came, and an earthen wall rose from the ground, blocking the scattered fireballs.

"Interesting. Those eyes of yours... are you from the Uchiha clan?"

The two Cloud Ninja looked at Tsuki, and he immediately noticed the three-tomoe Sharingan in Tsuki's eyes.

Fire Release:

"The hand seals are too slow!"

Tsukiki did not respond and continued to attack, but the Cloud Ninja on the other side immediately sent one of them to Tsukiki's side using the Body Flicker Technique.

The kunai thrust forward, and Tsukuyomi's three-tomoe Sharingan stared calmly at the Cloud Ninja in front of him, its blood-red eyes filled with composure.

With a slight shift of his feet, Tsukiju's body brushed past the kunai to dodge, while the hand seals he was forming continued.

"Fireball Technique".

Tsukiki puffed out her cheeks and delivered a powerful fireball right to the opponent's face.

In the darkness, the fireball was exceptionally conspicuous, illuminating the surroundings in an instant.

"Too young."

A sound came from behind, and a piece of wood fell in front of Yue Shu.

It's a substitution technique!

The kunai in their hands glowed with a white and blue light as the Cloud Ninja channeled their chakra into it, thus increasing its destructive power.

"I'll return those words to you!"

The instant the kunai pierced the back of the moon tree, a wisp of smoke rose, and he too turned into a piece of wood.

"Rasengan."

"Wind Release: Wind Blade".

A wind blade flew past from the side, but Yue Shu ignored the Cloud Ninja and only had eyes for the guy in front of him who had exposed his weakness because of his underestimation.
