Naruto: Fusion of Multiverse Character Templates

Chapter 104 Solo Infiltration of Sunagakure's Headquarters (First and Second Updates)

August has arrived.

After more than a month of fighting, Sunagakure and Konoha have reached a temporary stalemate.

To be precise, Konoha Village had the upper hand.

Because the number of ninjas in Sunagakure is one thousand more than that in Konoha.

With six thousand against five thousand, the battle becomes evenly matched, and it's self-evident who has the advantage.

War is the fastest way for ninjas to make a name for themselves.

Of the five thousand ninjas in Konoha, Tsunade has become the most famous.

Tsunade's fame before this mainly stemmed from her identity: the granddaughter of Hashirama Senju and the student of Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Besides that, there was the title of Konoha's Legendary Sannin after the Uzumaki clan's massacre and the capture of Chiyo's son and daughter-in-law.

But now it's different.

Because the battlefield commander of Sunagakure is Chiyo, who has been famous for a long time and is the Kazekage advisor and the number one puppeteer of Sunagakure.

The fact that Tsunade could hold her off for so long naturally proves her ability.

Riding on Chiyo's fame, she also became famous in the ninja world.

Orochimaru and Jiraiya are similar examples.

They held their own against Hanzo of Amegakure, and their fame gradually spread throughout the ninja world.

Besides Tsunade, Natsuki also gained fame.

Since going to the battlefield, his main means of attack has become the bow.

There's no way around it, bows are indeed very useful on the battlefield.

With a range of up to four kilometers, coupled with power comparable to B-rank and A-rank ninjutsu, it truly has a significant advantage.

However, Natsuki has not yet earned a title; it's just that everyone in Sunagakure knows there is such a ninja who is skilled with the bow.

The open space outside the tent.

Natsuki looked at Yakushi Nonou not far away.

She is practicing shaving.

After more than a month of learning, her shaving skills have become quite impressive.

Xia Mu nodded slightly and then projected a Kurosawa sword.

He hasn't come away empty-handed in the past month; he has unlocked Armament Haki.

[Congratulations, host, for unlocking Shuzo Template Ability 5: Armament Haki.]

Its unlock condition is to defeat five special Jonin or Jonin using taijutsu.

Xia Mu had already mastered Shave, Moonwalk, and Finger Pistol.

Finger guns, in particular, can penetrate the human body.

He specifically chose five special Jonin from Sunagakure as his enemies, defeated them using taijutsu, and quickly fulfilled his condition.

Armament Haki!

The Kurosawa sword in Xia Mu's hand was instantly covered with an invisible armor, increasing both its defense and attack power.

He had previously felt that the power of the fantasy collapse was insufficient.

Now that it has Armament Haki, its power can be increased to another level.

There are three ways to use Armament Haki.

One method is winding and hardening.

Xia Mu just used the Entangling Hardening technique to strengthen Kurosawa.

It can also be used to strengthen the body.

Second, it involves the outward transfer of resources.

Simply put, it means using Armament Haki as chakra.

It can be released as a shockwave to attack enemies.

It can also be deployed externally as a protective barrier to protect itself.

Third, internal sabotage.

This usage can be considered an advancement of the second usage.

It releases Armament Haki, which penetrates deep into objects after hitting them, destroying them from the inside.

It also sounds a bit like Fantasy Collapse.

For Xia Mu, the first method was the most useful.

After all, it can enhance the illusion collapse.

However, since he couldn't test it now, he put Kurosawa away.

"Come and eat."

Xia Mu glanced at the sky and called out.

Yakushi Nonou stopped training and walked up to him.

Beads of sweat glistened on her fair skin, and her golden hair clung together, giving her a unique and alluring look.

"You should take a shower first."

Xia Mu thought for a moment and then said.

During a mission, one shouldn't waste time taking a shower.

But now it's war, and it can last for a year or two. Not taking a bath for such a long time would seem inhumane.

For this purpose, dedicated logistics personnel will prepare tents for showering.

Simply put, it means taking a bath in a wooden tub.

Yakushi Nonou nodded.

The two arrived at the tent used for bathing.

Yakushi Nonou went into the shower, while Natsuki waited outside.

After a long while, footsteps sounded.

As soon as Natsuki turned his head, he saw Yakushi Nono, who had changed her clothes and whose hair was a little wet.

The two returned to their tent.

"Give."

Xia Mu took out a bento box.

Yakushi Nonou took the bento box.

She walked to the opposite side of Xia Mu, pressed her clothes down slightly with her hand, and then sat down on the carpet.

Unlike Xia Mu, who sat cross-legged, she sat very elegantly.

Her long, slender legs were bent together, her fair calves were straight, and her jade-like feet were on the carpet.

Yakushi Nonou opened the bento box, placed it on her lap, and picked up the chopsticks with her right hand.

Xia Mu glanced at her.

From his angle, he could see the smooth curves of her legs.

Xia Mu took out another bento box and started eating.

As he ate, he pondered the next ability he should unlock.

Now that you have Armament Haki, Iron Body can try to unlock it.

Besides that, there's the Puppet Heavy Formation with the Biggleslo template, which requires defeating five Jonin.

In war, although there are many Jonin, they are not that common.

Fortunately, he has already defeated four Jonin, and only one more is left.

The design of the Biguslo template is also nearing completion.

Its unlock condition is learning five control-type ninjutsu.

After learning Might Day's three physical techniques, Xia Mu has been learning three illusion techniques.

Now all that's missing is the C-level Fox Mind Technique.

Xia Mu's only regret was that there was no progress on Gordon's template.

Leaving aside the fact that an antidote for the curse is still not available, there's no way to concoct one yet.

The location of the poison cloud requires poisoning thirty targets at once.

During this period, the battles between Konoha and Sunagakure were all small-scale, with very few involving more than ten people.

He transformed poison into medicine, using poison magic to save three Jonin.

In Natsuki's squad, only Maruboshi Kosuke could be considered to have Jonin-level strength.

But the recent missions haven't been particularly difficult, so they don't require his rescue.

After finishing his meal, Xia Mu continued practicing the C-level Fox Mind Technique.

Another week passed, and he finally mastered the art of understanding the fox's mind.

[Congratulations, host, for unlocking the sixth ability of the Biguslow template: Stylized Eyes.]

In simple terms, "illusionary eyes" refers to using the eyes to perform illusions.

With his current strength, he can easily control ordinary genin and chunin.

But it's hard to say about Jonin; even if they are controlled, Jonin can break free very quickly.

However, in battle, instantaneous control can play a significant role.

Just then, an ANBU ninja appeared in front of him.

"Is there any new mission?"

Xia Mu was slightly taken aback and took the initiative to ask.

Although their squad had just completed a mission and had only been allowed half of their day of rest, war is unpredictable.

Often, they would have a new task shortly after taking a break.

Being able to rest for half a day is already quite good.

"Lady Tsunade wants you to go to her tent."

The ANBU ninja replied.

"I'll go now."

Natsuki nodded, greeted Yakushi Nonou, and then went to Tsunade's tent.

Tsunade has her own tent.

As for the main tent, it wasn't used for sleeping and resting, but for holding meetings and assigning tasks.

"Tsunade-sensei."

After receiving permission, Xia Mu entered the tent.

What comes into view is Tsunade's unladylike sleeping posture.

She lay on her side on the carpet, her straight legs drawn up, her mature figure displaying a graceful curve.

Especially the tilted clothes.

Xia Mu blinked, feeling that he already had eight or nine tenths of the original character's features.

Tsunade was always like this in front of him.

It's probably because they're very familiar with each other, plus he's young.

"Are they here?"

Tsunade sat up and yawned.

As a commander, she rarely went out on missions, but she was just as physically and mentally exhausted as other ninjas.

After all, she has to be in charge of overseeing the overall situation.

"Since the war with Sunagakure began, I have been trying to find a way to obtain Chiyo's poison."

Tsunade began, "But so far, she hasn't personally taken action."

"Is there some kind of conspiracy?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Mu asked.

"We just received some intelligence related to her."

Tsunade nodded and said, "Chiyo is making a new poison; she plans to poison us."

"How did you poison him?"

Xia Mu asked again.

Chiyo's poison is generally used on puppets, but the range of effect on puppets is very narrow.

Even if she controlled ten puppets to fight, she could only poison a few ninjas.

"have no idea."

Tsunade shook her head and said, "I guess it's through logistics, most likely water or food."

Logistics included ninja tools, medicine, food, and water.

Neither of the first two are easy for Sunagakure to reach.

The latter two are undoubtedly the easiest.

Of course, it's not easy, but it's not easy either.

Konoha Village will definitely have strict control over water and food supplies.

However, if Chiyo's poison is colorless and odorless, and is a new type of poison, then Tsunade might not be able to detect it in the early stages.

"Fortunately, we gained other benefits."

Tsunade stood up and opened a map.

Xia Mu subconsciously glanced at the map.

A red dot marks the area where Sunagakure (the village of Sunagakure) operates on the map.

The red dot is located quite far back, closer to the Land of Wind.

"This red dot marks a logistics point in Sunagakure."

Tsunade explained, "Our intelligence indicates that this is also where Chiyo makes poison."

"Should we just go and assassinate Chiyo?"

Xia Mu raised an eyebrow and asked.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Tsunade rolled her eyes at him and said, "This place is very close to the headquarters. Unless you can kill Chiyo instantly, you'll be surrounded."

It's impossible to instantly kill Chiyo.

At this point in time, it's estimated that only Madara Uchiha could have done it.

Xia Mu coughed lightly and asked, "So, shall we sneak in and steal the poison made by Chiyo?"

"That's my idea."

Tsunade nodded and said.

"I can give it a try."

Xia Mu immediately said.

Since Tsunade has already summoned him, it's highly likely that she's going to have him do this task.

However, to be fair, he is indeed quite suitable.

There are infiltration methods, concealment methods, and combat methods.

"This mission is extremely dangerous. I will send three Jonin with you to assist you."

Tsunade paused for a moment, then said, "I will also assign tasks to hold off most of the Sunagakure ninja, buying you time."

Xia Mu was slightly taken aback.

This sounds like all five thousand ninjas from Konoha Village have joined in.

However, since the goal is Chiyo's poison, it's still worth it.

Once her poison is neutralized, the Sand Village's defeat is only a matter of time.

After all, given the current situation, her poison is the only way to turn the tide.

"We'll move out tomorrow night."

Tsunade looked at him and said, "Get ready."

"Yes, teacher."

Xia Mu nodded and said.

"The reason we're sending you is because you have the highest success rate."

Tsunade reached out and patted his head, saying with some emotion.

Xia Mu had only been out of school for half a year, but he was already an indispensable ninja in Konoha.

She initially didn't want him to take the risk, but after thinking it over, no Jonin was more suitable than him.

Tsunade felt a sense of déjà vu when she thought back to when they first met, when Natsuki was just an ordinary first-year student.

"I see."

Xia Mu, on the other hand, felt it was alright.

Although it was dangerous, Tsunade and the others were there to delay it, and since there was no need for a direct fight, all they had to do was get the poison and run away.

Time flew by and it was already the evening of the second day.

As Natsuki entered the main tent, he heard Tsunade methodically assigning tasks.

He didn't disturb them, and stood there waiting for orders.

"Natsuki."

After assigning the task, Tsunade looked at him and said, "You will depart in fifteen minutes."

"Yes, teacher."

Xia Mu nodded and said.

"Sakumo, the three of you go with him."

Tsunade paused for a moment, then emphasized, "He is the captain."

"clear."

Sakumo Hatake did not object to this.

However, many Jonin inside the main tent were surprised when they heard this order.

In terms of both fame and ability, Sakumo Hatake is definitely superior to Natsuki.

The only explanation is that Xia Mu was the main executor of this mission.

The peaceful night came alive.

Chiyo and the others from Sunagakure had no idea why Konoha had suddenly intensified its offensive.

They could only remain vigilant and try to stop the attack from Konoha Village.

Fifteen minutes later.

Natsuki and the others left the Konoha Village headquarters.

The three Jonin that Tsunade assigned to him were all quite strong.

Sakumo Hatake needs no introduction.

The other two Jonin are a member of the Hyuga clan and a rare ninja skilled in sealing techniques and barriers.

The Hyuga clan's ninjas need no introduction; they are skilled in both combat and sensory perception and reconnaissance.

The other Jonin's main task was to break the barrier of Sunagakure.

They made it through the area where the Sunagakure ninjas were active without any major incidents.

"Our goal is just ahead."

Sakumo Hatake said in a deep voice, "But the Sunagakure headquarters is right next door, and we only have a minute of safety time at most."

""

"You all stay here and wait for me."

Xia Mu paused for a moment, then said, "Once I am spotted, immediately throw out a large number of smoke grenades."

"careful."

Sakumo Hatake nodded and said.

Shadow Assassin!

Natsuki disappeared into the shadows and sped towards the rear of the Sunagakure headquarters.

It was the dead of night, and with the rain pouring down, no one noticed the shadow on the ground.

"Is he really capable?"

Hinata asked the ninja.

Although Natsuki already had a considerable reputation, his solo incursion into the Sunagakure headquarters still aroused his suspicions.

"I believe him."

"It was Hatake Sakumo who said in a deep voice."

As for the reason, he has always had a keen intuition.

Upon hearing this, Hinata Shinobu didn't say anything more.

Xia Mu soon arrived at their destination, in front of a huge tent.

Although the rain provided some cover, he could still smell a faint medicinal odor.

Clearly, this is where Chiyo manufactures drugs.

Xia Mu glanced at it and immediately sensed that things were getting tricky.

A Sunagakure ANBU ninja stood on each side of the tent.

The only good news is that there is only one squad, which is four ANBU ninjas.

They probably felt that this place was in their rear, so they didn't need too many ninjas to defend it.

However, four ANBU ninjas are indeed enough.

The ninjas who can join the Anbu are at least Chunin in strength, and not just ordinary Chunin.

Xia Mu touched his chin.

He decided to enter the tent from underground.

The only problem is whether there are traps set underground.

But this is the rear area of ​​Sunagakure, so they are unlikely to set up traps here.

Xia Mu couldn't help but sigh, wishing he had white eyes, so he could easily see what was going on underneath.

He dispelled the shadow assassin, then used the Presence Concealment technique, and then formed hand seals.

Earth Escape: Submerged in the Earth!

This Earth Release ninjutsu was left to Natsuki by his parents.

He had learned Earth Release: Mind Decapitation Technique before, and he also learned it, because it was very useful.

Its effect is to turn solids underground into fluids, allowing users to move quickly underground.

Xia Mu burrowed underground and swam toward the tent.

As he had expected, there were no traps set underground, and he entered the tent without any trouble.

Xia Mu poked his head out from the corner.

There was another medical ninja inside the tent, but it wasn't Chiyo.

Without hesitation, he leaped up.

The medical ninja instinctively looked at him.

Stylish eyes!

Xia Mu's eyes widened in shock, and he subdued her.

He stepped forward and knocked her unconscious.

Xia Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

Medical ninjas are not combat ninjas; they don't have much resistance to genjutsu, or rather, they can't react immediately to dispel it.

Xia Mu immediately began working on it.

He didn't know which bottles and jars inside the tent contained Chiyo's poison, so he simply packed them all up and took them with him.

Xia Mu put them into the psychic storage scroll and then threw them into his shadow space.

After he finished doing all this, he used Earth Escape: Submerged in Earth again.

But not long after he left, the two Sunagakure ANBU ninjas at the door noticed something was wrong.

It was too quiet inside the tent.

When medical ninjas conduct experiments, there is always some noise, and the smell of medicine in the air is much fainter.

They immediately went into the tent and found the unconscious medical ninja.

The two men exchanged a glance and immediately shouted, "Someone has broken in!"

Upon hearing this, the ninjas from the nearby Sand Village sprang into action.

In particular, the sensory ninjas all used sensory ninjutsu.

Xia Mu, who was on the ground, froze as he sensed an invisible chakra fluctuation sweeping past him.

He immediately realized that he had been exposed.

Without hesitation, Xia Mu emerged from the ground and used the Logia-type Smoke-Smoke Fruit.

After he turned into smoke, Sakumo Hatake and the others threw out a large number of smoke bombs as he had previously instructed.

In an instant, smoke billowed up, obscuring the vision of the Sunagakure ninjas.

Natsuki, transformed into smoke, moved through the smoke and finally appeared in front of Sakumo Hatake and the others.

"How is it?"

Sakumo Hatake asked.

Although they were very curious about how Natsuki could turn into smoke with his ninjutsu, their immediate priority was still their mission.

"Mission accomplished, retreat."

Xia Mu said decisively.

Sakumo Hatake and the others immediately nodded.
