Naruto: Fusion of Multiverse Character Templates

Chapter 108 Poisoning in Konoha Village (Fourth Update)

The sudden disappearance of the sounds of battle not far away caused the two Sand Village Jonin who were fighting with Nawaki and Maruboshi Kosuke to instinctively turn their heads.

Upon seeing the corpses of the two puppeteers, their hearts sank, followed by disbelief.

How long has it been? Less than a minute and two Jonin have died?

At the same time, an even more serious problem has been presented to them.

Xia Mu will join the battle soon, and then the situation will definitely turn around.

If nothing unexpected happens, they will die on the spot, just like the two puppeteers.

They now have two options.

One option is to escape.

Meanwhile, two Sand Village Jonin exchanged a glance and simultaneously formed hand seals.

Earth Escape·Earth Flow Wall!

A wall rose up, blocking their way and temporarily separating Maruhoshi Kosuke and Nawaki.

Wind Release: Wind Slice Technique!

A large amount of wind appeared, instantly transforming into high-speed wind blades.

But these densely packed wind blades were not aimed at Maruhoshi Kosuke, Nawaki, and Natsuki, but at the medicine in the distance.

The two Sand Village Jonin made their choice: to abandon their escape and instead cause destruction.

"not good!"

Seeing this, Rope Tree couldn't help but show a look of anxiety.

If such a large-scale wind blade were to land on the medicine, it would inevitably cut the medicine in half.

shave!

At the critical moment, Xia Mu stood in front of the wind blade.

Armament Haki!

An invisible barrier appeared.

The wind blade struck it, immediately producing a loud bang.

The barrier began to shake violently.

Fantasy Collapse!

Xia Mu stepped back and threw out two Thor's Swords.

The moment the barrier shattered, Thor's sword exploded, shattering the wind blades one by one.

"Damn it!"

The two Sand Village Jonin became enraged after their attempt to sabotage the medicine failed.

They formed hand seals again, but this time they attacked Natsuki.

"Hello!"

Rope Tree snorted coldly and said, "Don't forget about us!"

Water Escape·Water Formation Wall!

Maruhoshi Kosuke made a wall of water appear in front of Natsuki first.

Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!

Rope Tree's attack followed immediately.

The raging water-style chakra transformed into a water dragon, roaring as it flew out.

The Sand Village's Earth Release Jonin promptly switched to a different ninjutsu.

Earth Escape·Earth Flow Wall!

An earthen wall rose up, blocking the water jet.

However, what he didn't realize was that Natsuki had already disappeared when Maruhoshi Kosuke's water wall rose.

His shadow rapidly approached the Earth Release Jonin.

White Vine!

Xia Mu leaped up, his entire body transforming into smoke, and entangled the Earth Release Jonin.

Rope Tree's eyes lit up.

He gripped the greatsword Samehada and swung it out suddenly.

Samehada: Flying Chain Slash!

The hilt of the greatsword Samehada transformed into a chain and instantly extended.

The Earth Release Jonin only saw a blur before his eyes, and the Greatsword Samehada was already in front of him.

He struggled desperately, but could not break free from the smoke that Xia Mu had transformed into.

With a scream, his head was struck by the Greatsword Samehada, and blood flowed freely.

Another Sand Village Wind Release Jonin tried to come to his aid, but Maruboshi Kosuke attacked him like a whirlwind.

The glint of the blade, like moonlight, illuminated his vision.

Wind Release: Shuriken!

His reaction was quick; he raised his right hand and a shuriken flew towards Maruboshi Kosuke's face.

If Kosuke Maruboshi doesn't back down, it will result in a lose-lose situation.

The Violet Umbrella!

Seeing this, Xia Mu, who had removed the white vines, immediately seized the opportunity.

A liquid barrier blocked the sword in his hand.

Maruhoshi Kosuke, who was about to back out, immediately twisted his wrist.

Konoha Style: Willow!

His self-created Konoha-ryu swordsmanship, simply put, is a combination of illusion and swordsmanship.

The Wind Release Jonin froze on the spot, unable to move.

He instinctively tried to break the illusion, but Maruboshi Kosuke had already delivered the decisive blow.

The Wind Release Jonin looked down and saw the ninja sword pierce his heart.

He then fell into an eternal sleep.

"Go outside!"

Xia Mu gave a reminder and then left the tent.

The two sides fighting outside the tent were taken aback when they saw him.

Hyuga Hizashi and the others were pleasantly surprised.

But for the people of Sunagakure, it was a misfortune.

This means that the four Sand Village Jonin who went to poison and sabotage the area have failed.

"withdraw!"

At his command, the people of Sunagakure turned and ran.

The reason for this decisive action, besides the mission failure, was that Tsunade and the others' support would arrive soon.

"Stop chasing!"

"Xia Mu shouted."

One reason is that the people from Sunagakure run very fast.

Secondly, he was worried that there might be ninjas waiting to meet him.

Third, Hyuga Hizashi and others were injured.

Fourth, they have achieved their goal.

"Nonou, treat them."

Xia Mu immediately gave the order.

Yakushi Nonou nodded and walked towards the most seriously injured ninja.

"Natsuki."

Hyuga Hizashi quickly asked, "How are you guys?"

"The supplies are all safe and sound, and we have killed the four Jonin from Sunagakure."

"That's what Xia Mu replied."

Hyuga Hizashi's expression immediately hardened.

Xia Mu and his three companions actually killed four Sand Village Jonin?

He remembered that Yakushi Nonou and Nawaki were both Chunin.

So, Natsuki and Maruboshi Kosuke killed four Sand Village Jonin?

Hyuga Hizashi couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.

This level of strength is truly astonishing.

Just then, the sound of wind breaking rang out.

Tsunade and the others appeared before them.

Xia Mu increasingly felt a sense of déjà vu.

He hadn't expected that Sunagakure would actually repeat their tactics from the previous night exactly.

However, the reason why Sunagakure was able to succeed was mainly because Konoha was playing along with them.

"Help!"

Tsunade said something, then looked at Natsuki, Nawaki, and the others.

After confirming that they were alright, he nodded slightly.

"sister."

Nawaki asked curiously, "What's the situation on your end?"

"Luo Sha led a team to launch a surprise attack on us, but after a few minutes of fighting, we repelled them."

Tsunade paused for a moment, then said, "Their goal is obvious: to stall us."

"That genius Rasa from Sunagakure? I heard he knows Magnet Release?"

Rope Tree glanced at Natsuki and asked, "Who's stronger, him or Natsuki?"

"It's hard to say."

Tsunade hesitated for a moment, somewhat uncertain.

"You'll only know after you've tried it."

Xia Mu chuckled and said.

He was curious about what character template would be triggered if he defeated Luo Sha.

However, defeating him will not be easy.

Although Rasa felt he was the weakest of the Five Kage, he was still a Kage-level powerhouse.

The performance of Magnetism was also quite astonishing.

Fortunately, he is still young and his strength is probably not that great yet.

"Go to the main tent for a meeting."

After Tsunade and the other injured ninjas had received treatment, they spoke.

Xia Mu nodded and followed her to the main tent.

The other Jonin hadn't arrived yet, so he took the time to review what he had gained from this battle.

The first gain was unlocking the Biguslo template doll - Heavy Particle Formation.

The second gain was Nami's template for Weather Technique.

Its unlock condition is to defeat one of each of the five elemental ninjas.

The four Sunagakure ninjas who came today consist of one Earth Release, two Wind Release, and one Fire Release.

The two puppeteers that Xia Mu killed were Wind Release and Fire Release practitioners.

Although neither of them had ever used Wind Release or Fire Release.

The two Sand Village Jonin killed by Nawaki and Maruboshi Kosuke used Wind Release and Earth Release techniques.

Natsuki played a major role in Nawaki killing the Earth Release ninja, so he was also included in the system's calculations.

The progress of the Weather Technique is now three-fifths complete; it only needs to defeat the Lightning Release and Water Release Jonin to unlock it.

"Meeting now."

Tsunade's voice rang out, "Tell me the situation."

Xia Mu snapped out of his daze and looked at her.

Standing in front of her was an ANBU ninja.

"Tonight, Sunagakure launched a three-pronged attack on the main camp, water source, and medicine and food depots."

The ANBU ninja replied, "All three attacks ended in failure."

He then went on to describe the casualties of the night.

Compared to Sunagakure, Konoha suffered less than half the casualties of its ninjas, making it a resounding victory.

"Continue to strengthen the defense. Meeting adjourned."

Tsunade didn't say much, and after listening to the report, she ended the Jonin meeting.

The other Jonin all left, leaving only Nara Shikasuke and Natsuki.

"Lady Tsunade."

Nara Shikasuke took out a bottle of water and said, "This is water I got from the water source."

Tsunade nodded and opened the summoning storage scroll.

She then took the water and tested it on the spot.

"Not poisonous?"

Nara Shikasuke, seeing that the water hadn't changed color, was taken aback and asked, "Could it be that Sunagakure's poisoning attempt failed?"

Tsunade also frowned, somewhat surprised.

"If I were from Sunagakure, I definitely wouldn't have poisoned them immediately."

Xia Mu had a sudden thought and said, "Because regardless of whether tonight's operation succeeds or fails, we will check the water source and other supplies."

"You mean the Sand Village has already poisoned it, but the poison hasn't spread yet?"

Tsunade immediately said, "I'll go check the water source."

She turned and left.

Natsuki and Nara Shikasuke stood there waiting.

Time passed slowly.

Tsunade returned to the main tent.

She looked at Xia Mu and said, "You guessed right, the poison has been placed at the bottom of the water, but it's made with special materials and won't take effect until tomorrow."

"We underestimated Sunagakure."

Nara Shikasuke remarked with a sigh, "They used three attacks to cover their tracks, yet they're still so cautious."

"If we hadn't cracked Chiyo's poison, this might have led to a disaster."

Tsunade nodded and said.

When does the poison take effect?

Nara Shikasuke asked again.

"Although Chiyo's poison is highly toxic, after being diluted with water, it is estimated that it will not take effect until tomorrow night."

Tsunade paused for a moment, then said, "Tomorrow's meals will also ensure that most of the ninjas in Konoha will be poisoned."

Meanwhile, at the Sunagakure headquarters.

"Luo Sha, you did a great job."

Chiyo praised it.

"It's what I should do."

Luo Sha suppressed his excitement and immediately replied.

"Just to be on the safe side, tomorrow night, send someone to infiltrate Konoha's headquarters to see if they have really been poisoned."

Chiyo said in a deep voice, "Once most of the Konoha ninja have been poisoned, we will launch a full-scale attack!"

"yes!"

The villagers of Sunagakure answered in unison.
