Naruto I get stronger when I draw a lottery

"here is?"

Kushina opened her eyes and found herself in a pool of water.

The orange-red pool water was a bit blood red, but Kushina did not sink. She stood on the water like she had practiced treading water before.

There was nothing around, nothing to see, only nothingness.

As if she felt something, the red-haired girl looked back.

There is something there.

A very large cage with iron bars in front of it, each one as big as a girl.

There was nothing inside the cage, it was dark and nothing could be seen.

Pure black pupils stared there, looking inside through the iron bars.

In Ningning, a pair of blood-red eyes appeared————

"what!"

Kushina yelled and sat up.

Her red hair was wet, and her back and forehead were soaked with sweat.

"Huh~huh"

Kushina gasped and hugged herself.

In the dark night, the girl hugged her body, feeling empty in her heart.

"Moontree."

For some reason, the girl shouted that name.

The boy who would come to her side every time and become his hero————

Go back in time.

It was five days after the first mission was completed, and Jiraiya gave everyone a break.

Naturally, everyone went back to their respective homes to find their respective mothers and enjoy the vacation after this difficult task.

The first time I left the village, the first big task was completed, the excitement still remained in my heart.

Kushina is no exception.

After a few days of shopping with her best friend Mikoto, she went to Tsukiki's house again. She didn't expect that Minato Namikaze, who was wearing an apron, was cooking at Tsukiki's house, and the person she was looking for was... Taking a nap in the yard with a comfortable face.

It was something called a hammock. Tsuki took it out and squinted his eyes while basking in the sun and blowing in the wind.

Don’t live too comfortably.

Especially when someone is still with you.

That's right, it's Tsunade-sama, one of the three ninjas.

Kushina and Mikoto were stunned.

Unexpectedly, Tsuki's condition has been transmitted to Tsunade-sama.

"Hey, Kushina Mikoto, are you looking for Tsukiki?"

Namikaze Minato smiled and greeted the two women. He and Shizune were cooking in the kitchen.

"That's right. Tell me why you are here and dressed like this."

Kushina looked at Namikaze Minato from bottom to top.

She found that Namikaze Minato was surprisingly suitable for wearing an apron.

"I'm curious too."

Mikoto also asked.

Minato Namibun touched his head and laughed a few times.

"There are many reasons for this, and I don't know where to start."

"Minato, are you your teammate? How about we have a meal together."

Shizune also noticed the movement here and turned around.

"Hey?"

Kushina and Mikoto didn't know what happened, so they sat down in a daze and agreed to eat together.

"welcome."

There are two more people at the dining table at Senju House, but there is no problem in adding a few pairs of chopsticks.

After having a meal in a daze, Kushina and Mikoto also understood the reason why Namikaze Minato was here. As expected, it was Tsukishu who did it.

However, Kushina and Mikoto quite agreed.

"If possible, you two can come here often. Minato will treat you well to a feast."

"As expected, it's me again."

Tsukiki generously invited Kushina and Mikoto, and Minato Namikaze was helpless. After all, he was the one doing the work.

Fortunately, he has always lived alone, and his cooking skills are still very good. Although he is still a little lacking compared to Shizune, he is still pretty good.

"Well, come if you have time. The meal should be lively."

Tsunade also agreed. The Senju House has become more and more energetic recently, and Tsunade is also in a happy mood.

Compared to the previous lifeless place where she was the only one in such a big room, it did feel a bit like home now.

Since the war took away the lives of important people, this house has also been deprived of its life, but now it has been restored.

"Well, thank you, Tsunade-sama."

Kushina and Mikoto thanked them and said they would come often.

After finishing the meal, Kushina and Mikoto said goodbye, and Minato Namikaze stayed here, as if he would continue his work as a chef in the evening.

What Kushina didn't expect was————

Her unique job has also arrived.

"Kushina."

Kushina was called to the Hokage's office, and when she got there, her only relative, Uzumaki Mito, although not her own grandmother, was also there.

There are many people in the Hokage's office.

The three elders, the Third Hokage, and Mito.

"Kushina."

Mito's eyes were a little sad, and his voice seemed so weak.

There was sadness on her face, different from how Kushina usually saw her.

Grandma Mito is always so gentle and will tolerate Kushina in everything.

"Grandma Mito, what's wrong?"

Kushina felt uneasy in her heart.

"Kushina, you are a strong boy."

Mito came over and gently touched Kushina's face.

Then--

"Uzumaki Kushina."

"Now give me a task that only you can complete."

The third generation spoke.

"Become the next Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki."

The third generation's voice was obviously very soft, without the coldness of the Hokage and those in high positions, but Kushina just felt that there was no warmth in the words.

"Nine-Tails' Jinchuriki?"

Kushina muttered to herself in shock.

Mito on the side closed his eyes.

This is what Kushina must bear. Only she, as an orphan of the Uzumaki clan————

The princess not only enjoys the glory and wealth, but also has to shoulder the responsibilities of a princess.

The same goes for the princess of the Uzumaki clan.

At this moment, the nine-year-old red-haired girl learned about the responsibility she would have to bear throughout her life.

With her face buried in the quilt, Kushina just lay on the bed.

Kushina has been like this since she came back from the Hokage's office.

Something unexpected happened that Kushina didn't know what to do.

Kyuubi, a monster with nine tails, is the representative of disaster.

Of course Kushina had heard its story.

An evil jinchūriki who seems to be purely motivated by destruction.

Now Kushina wants to become the Jinchūriki of this monster.

Even now, Kushina felt panic.

No one wants to coexist with a monster.

This is especially true for Kushina, a young girl.

"Moon Tree——"

A name came out of the girl's mouth, that was the name of the hero in her heart.

Perhaps thinking that the hero would come again and save her, the girl called softly.

But obviously, the girl's wish did not come true.

The night is a bit cold tonight, the girl hugged her body and buried her face.

"Kushina."

There was a voice outside the door, and it was her favorite Grandma Mito's voice.

Without answering her, Kushina sat quietly on the bed.

After a long time, the sound of fading footsteps came from outside the door...

A sigh gently passed through the door and penetrated into Kushina's ears.

Tonight, the girl is still alone.
