Naruto: Fusion of Multiverse Character Templates

Chapter 115 Kushina, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki (First and Second Updates)

Xia Mu sat on the sofa and began to ponder.

In the original work, there is very little mention of what happened to Kushina Uzumaki after she became the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

However, in the official manga "Minato Den", it was mentioned that she would occasionally go berserk in the early stages after becoming the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

The reason is that she is young and her sealing technique is not as good as Mito Uzumaki's.

When they grow up, the Nine-Tails will no longer go berserk; instead, she will beat them up.

Xia Mu touched his chin.

Tailed beasts are aggregates of chakra.

Because of their unlimited chakra and enormous size, most ninjas are helpless against them.

For example, someone like Sakumo Hatake, who is skilled in swordsmanship, would find it difficult to inflict any effective damage on a Tailed Beast.

In the ninja world, there are not many ninjas who can clearly suppress tailed beasts.

For example, the Third Raikage and the Fourth Raikage, or the Third Kazekage and the Fourth Kazekage.

The former relies on Lightning Release Chakra Mode combined with ninjutsu, and its extreme attack power can break through the tailed beast's defense.

The latter relies on Magnet Release, which has a wide range and weight, and can suppress tailed beasts so they cannot move.

If Natsuki wants to deal with the Tailed Beasts, he has to start with Misaka Mikoto's template.

The Unlimited Blade Works template for the Heroic Spirit Emiya also works, but it cannot be unlocked for a short period of time.

You can try unlocking the Misaka Mikoto template now.

Natsuki plans to learn Lightning Release ninjutsu and develop Magnet Release ninjutsu simultaneously, aiming to unlock his abilities before heading to the Land of Rain.

But besides suppression, there is another way to deal with the Tailed Beasts: reconciliation.

When a Jinchūriki reconciles with a Tailed Beast, the Jinchūriki becomes the perfect Jinchūriki.

A perfect Jinchūriki can fully unleash the power of a Tailed Beast, and may even transform into a Tailed Beast to fight consciously.

Imperfect Jinchuriki can also transform into Tailed Beasts, but the Jinchuriki will be unconscious or unable to control the Tailed Beasts.

At that time, the tailed beasts will become indiscriminate, attacking anyone they see, a phenomenon commonly known as "going berserk."

In the original work, among all the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, only Naruto Uzumaki reconciled with the Nine-Tails.

The main reason lies in Naruto Uzumaki's personality.

Even if it's a nine-tailed fox, he's willing to be its friend.

Natsuki felt that Kushina Uzumaki, in terms of personality, could be friends with Kurama.

It's highly likely that the original work wasn't influenced by Mito Uzumaki.

After all, Mito Uzumaki's strength was too great, and Kurama (the Nine-Tails) had no way to resist, let alone go berserk.

Time passed slowly.

After an unknown amount of time, footsteps sounded.

Rope Tree stood up immediately.

"Rope Tree, you can go in now."

Hiruzen Sarutobi came downstairs. He met Nawaki's gaze and spoke.

Rope Tree quickly ran upstairs.

"Nono, you go in too. Natsuki, stay here. I have something to tell you."

Hiruzen Sarutobi then spoke.

Yakushi Nonou paused for a moment, then got up and went upstairs.

"Natsuki, have you ever heard of tailed beasts?"

After sitting down on the sofa, Hiruzen Sarutobi asked the question.

Xia Mu immediately realized what was going on.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was about to tell him everything.

Thinking about it carefully, given his current strength and status, he certainly has the right to know about the existence of tailed beasts and jinchūriki.

For example, Yakushi Nonou had the right status, but not the right strength, so she wasn't allowed to stay.

"I've heard about it."

Natsuki spoke frankly, "It is said that there are nine tailed beasts in the ninja world, and each tailed beast has the power to destroy the world."

"The nine tailed beasts appeared in the ninja world at some unknown time, and their origin may be related to the legendary Sage of Six Paths."

C

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded and began to tell the story of the nine tailed beasts.

It's about the same as what Xia Mu knows.

Originally, the nine tailed beasts had nothing to do with ninjas because they were too powerful and no ninja dared to provoke them.

It wasn't until Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha joined forces that they were able to capture the nine tailed beasts.

After pacifying the chaotic world, Hashirama Senju distributed the nine tailed beasts to various ninja villages, leaving only the most powerful Nine-Tails in Konoha.

In order to better unleash the power of the tailed beasts, the jinchūriki were created.

"Lord Mito was the first Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of Konoha Village."

"Sarutobi Hiruzen said in a deep voice."

"I see."

Natsuki took a deep breath and asked, "Then... Kushina was the second Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?"

"good."

Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at him twice, then nodded slightly and said...

Xia Mu was more composed than he had imagined.

But as a powerful genius, one must have extraordinary abilities.

The reason Natsuki didn't pretend to be shocked was because she was worried that Hiruzen Sarutobi would see through her, which would be counterproductive.

Since that's the case, try to remain calm.

Because this is the ninja world, the earlier one matures, the more talented one is.

For example, Itachi Uchiha.

"A Jinchuriki is a village's trump card; the fewer people who know about it, the better."

Hiruzen Sarutobi continued, "From now on, Kushina will not need to leave the village or have much contact with outsiders."

"This is something that Kushina would find very difficult to accept."

Xia Mu said with a mix of genuine and feigned concern.

"There's nothing we can do about it. I believe she's mentally prepared."

Hiruzen Sarutobi paused for a moment, then said, "From now on, as her friends, you'll need to pay more attention to her emotions."

This is the real reason why he and Xia Mu told each other everything.

He was tasked with stabilizing Kushina Uzumaki and acting as a link between her and Konoha Village.

"Yes, Lord Hokage."

Xia Mu said with a serious expression.

"Kushina has just become the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, so there may be some instability. We will keep her here for the time being."

Hiruzen Sarutobi patted Natsuki on the shoulder and said, "Come and keep her company when you have time."

"OK."

Xia Mu usually comes here to train anyway, so it makes no difference to him.

"Go upstairs."

Hiruzen Sarutobi stood up and walked outside.

He still has things to do.

That is to set up a barrier around the area to prevent the Nine-Tailed Fox from going berserk and affecting other areas.

Natsuki went upstairs and entered Mito Uzumaki's room.

He heard crying as soon as he went in.

Xia Mu sighed inwardly.

Mito Uzumaki lay on the bed, no longer breathing.

Nawaki and Kushina Uzumaki cried very hard.

Yakushi Nonou and Tsunade didn't cry, but their eyes were already red.

The former's feelings for Mito Uzumaki were not as deep as those for Nawaki and the others.

The latter refers to adults who have some control over their emotions.

Actually, it was quite good that Mito Uzumaki died of old age.

In the ninja world, which was plagued by constant warfare, ninjas generally did not live long lives; to live past fifty was considered a long life.

Most people, let alone fifty, will find it difficult to even reach thirty.

The third day has arrived.

Hiruzen Sarutobi held a funeral for Mito Uzumaki.

However, because of her special status, her funeral was not made public.

Natsuki was one of the few ninjas who were allowed to attend the funeral.

Early in the morning, he changed into black mourning clothes and headed to the Senju clan's residence with Yakushi Nonou.

Normally, after a ninja dies, he or she is buried at the Konoha Memorial.

The Konoha Memorial Monument is a monument inscribed with the names of ninjas who died.

And all around it are neatly arranged tombs.

However, there are also those who are not at the Konoha Memorial Monument.

For example, Hashirama Senju.

His constitution was so unique that his cells remained active even after his death.

To prevent anyone from targeting his body, it was buried in the Senju clan's territory and placed under various forms of protection.

Mito Uzumaki's dying wish was to be buried with Hashirama Senju, so she was buried in the Senju clan's territory.

Natsuki soon saw Kushina Uzumaki.

She changed into a black dress, unusually without her usual over-the-knee stockings, making her long, slender, and fair legs particularly eye-catching.

When Kushina Uzumaki saw Natsuki, she was slightly taken aback, then ran up and hugged him.

Xia Mu silently reached out and touched her hair.

It wasn't until Hiruzen Sarutobi, Tsunade, and the others arrived that Kushina Uzumaki felt embarrassed and let go of him.

The funeral was simple, with few people.

Xia Mu glanced around and noticed that there were also three ninjas from the Uzumaki clan.

In the original work, when Mito Uzumaki died, they were definitely not there.

This can be considered a butterfly effect he brought about.

Natsuki also saw the tomb of Hashirama Senju not far away.

Just thinking about how his cells were everywhere in the original work makes me think of a question: What have you been protecting?

However, we can't blame Hiruzen Sarutobi, since they were both thieves who stole from their own comrades, especially Danzo Shimura and Orochimaru.

Madara Uchiha's Hashirama cells mainly came from a piece of flesh he bit off during his previous battle with Hashirama Senju.

The funeral is considered over after the flowers are laid.

Natsuki had originally planned to teach Kushina Uzumaki the Six Powers of the Navy, but that plan has to be put on hold for now.

She has just become the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, so it's best to wait until the observation period is over before making any decisions.

On the contrary, Nawaki became even more diligent after Mito Uzumaki's death.

That afternoon, he continued practicing shaving.

Xia Mu glanced at him, hesitating, unsure whether she should advise him to rest.

"Don't worry, he'll be fine."

Tsunade noticed his expression and said, "He wants to fulfill his promise and become a ninja like his great-grandfather."

"Tsunade-sensei."

Natsuki nodded and then asked, "Do you want to learn the Six Styles of Konoha?"

"The Six Styles of Konoha? The taijutsu you taught Nawaki?"

Tsunade realized what was happening and asked in surprise, "Six?"

"I planned to create six myself, but so far I've only created three."

"That's what Xia Mu replied."

"I don't even know how to evaluate your behavior."

Tsunade was speechless.

Who would decide in advance that they want to create six ninjutsu techniques when creating their own?

Is this something that can be determined in advance?

"I never imagined that one day I would be learning physical techniques created by my students."

Tsunade shook her head and said, "These taijutsu techniques of yours are very useful, and I have no reason to refuse."

During his battle with Rasa, Natsuki used Shave, Moonwalk, and Finger Pistol.

All three physical techniques were quite effective.

Especially Moonwalk.

In Tsunade's view, this was undoubtedly the most valuable thing.

Perhaps in the future, Konoha Village can even establish an air force by relying on Moonwalk.

However, that's not very realistic.

Although Tsunade hadn't learned it yet, she knew that the more powerful the taijutsu, the more difficult it was to learn.

That is indeed the case.

In One Piece, those who can learn the Six Powers of the Navy are not ordinary Marines.

Even so, there are not many who can learn all six styles of the Navy.

"Tsunade-sensei, there are conditions for teaching you."

Xia Mu said with a smile, "I hope to have the right to freely learn Lightning Release ninjutsu."

"Why do you suddenly want to learn Lightning Release ninjutsu?"

Tsunade asked, puzzled.

"My current strengths are swordsmanship and archery."

Xia Mu explained, "After thinking it over, I believe that Lightning Release can enhance the power of my swordsmanship and archery."

"Theoretically speaking, it is indeed possible."

Tsunade nodded upon hearing this and said.

The most famous ninjutsu of Kumogakure is Lightning Release, or more accurately, Lightning Release combined with taijutsu.

Both the Third and Fourth Raikage were renowned throughout the ninja world for their ninjutsu and taijutsu.

Its core is the Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

Simply put, it involves covering the entire body with lightning-attribute chakra to stimulate and activate the body's physical and nerve cells.

After learning Lightning Release Chakra Mode, speed, attack, and defense will all be improved.

But the biggest improvement is in speed.

Its speed is comparable to the Flying Thunder God Technique.

That is why the Third and Fourth Raikage were among the strongest of the Five Kage of their generation.

Using Lightning Release to enhance archery techniques is unprecedented in the ninja world.

However, the use of Lightning Release to enhance swordsmanship does exist in the original work.

That's the Uchiha-style swordsmanship used by Uchiha Sasuke, who enhanced his swordsmanship with Lightning Release.

It's quite simple if you think about it carefully.

If lightning is applied to a sword, its power will definitely increase.

Similarly, there's the Wind Release technique to enhance swordsmanship.

Even Uchiha Shisui enhanced his swordsmanship with Fire Release techniques, such as Uchiha Style: Sword Leap Flame.

Of course, Natsuki has the Misaka Mikoto template, so there's no need for that much trouble.

He learned Lightning Release ninjutsu only to unlock the abilities of the Misaka Mikoto template.

"You've always been opinionated, so I won't try to persuade you."

Tsunade smiled and said, "As for learning Lightning Release ninjutsu, you don't need my help. Just go find your teacher."

Given Xia Mu's current status, strength, and position, even if he were to learn forbidden techniques, let alone Lightning Release ninjutsu, Hiruzen Sarutobi would agree.

Theoretically speaking, he is already a candidate for Hokage.

Moreover, he was a core candidate for Hokage.

Tsunade suddenly thought of Nawaki.

She discovered that Nawaki wanted to become Hokage, and his biggest rival was Natsuki.

The Fourth Hokage, those two were too young to catch up, it was most likely Orochimaru.

Because she wasn't interested in the Hokage, and neither was Jiraiya; he was more interested in the Child of Prophecy.

Besides that, there's Sakumo Hatake.

He's strong enough, but Orochimaru is more famous now, and he's a ninja from the Hokage lineage, so he has a lot of supporters.

However, Natsuki and Nawaki were the strongest contenders for the Fifth Hokage.

At most, add Minato Namikaze.

Putting aside emotional factors, she would choose Xia Mu.

He is not only powerful, but also has a steady and mature personality.

Nawaki's impulsive and rash personality makes him unsuitable to be Hokage.

Minato Namikaze has a good personality, but he is not as strong as Natsuki.

However, he has mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, so he might be able to overtake him.

However, Tsunade couldn't let go of her emotions.

After all, Rope Tree is her own younger brother.

Tsunade shook her head and stopped thinking about it.

There's no need to think about the distant Fifth Hokage when the Fourth Hokage hasn't even been decided yet.

Natsuki then taught Tsunade how to shave.

She learned much faster than Nawaki and Yakushino.

After all, she is an adult, with greater physical strength and richer experience in martial arts.

After teaching her, Natsuki went to the Hokage Building.

He easily obtained the right to freely learn Lightning Release ninjutsu.

In the ninjutsu storage room, after careful selection, he chose the first lightning release ninjutsu, called Lightning Release: Earth Walk.

Its effect is to emit lightning close to the ground.

Xia Mu chose it simply because it was simple.

However, he couldn't learn Lightning Release immediately.

Because he was born without the Lightning Release chakra nature, he could only learn and convert it through training.

In other words, he first needs to train in the nature transformation of Lightning Release chakra.

After returning to the Senju clan's residence, Xia Mu specifically sought out a secluded place to cultivate.

After all, practicing lightning techniques is quite noisy and disruptive.

Lightning Release has three main characteristics.

One is fast, one causes paralysis, and one penetrates.

If used purely for swordsmanship, penetration is the most useful.

In the original work, Sasuke Uchiha developed the Chidori Blade based on Lightning Release: Chidori.

Simply put, it involves injecting Lightning Release chakra into the blade, increasing its penetrating power while also inflicting a paralyzing effect.

Xia Mu formed a hand seal and created a shadow clone.

His physical body cultivates the nature transformation of Lightning Release chakra.

The shadow clones attempted to develop the Magnet Release ninjutsu.

After Natsuki unlocked the Railgun, he was able to manipulate electromagnetic forces.

He could also use electromagnetic force to disguise himself as a lightning user, but the system definitely wouldn't recognize it.

As originally planned, Xia Mu prepared to replicate the Third Kazekage's Magnet Release, starting with the simplest manipulation of iron sand.

As the original being, he casually opened a scroll.

This is Hiruzen Sarutobi's advice on Lightning Release training.

The above records the three stages of training in Lightning Release Chakra Nature Transformation.

Essentially, it's similar to Wind Release and Water Release, progressing from shallow to deep.

Half a month passed quickly, and September arrived.

Both Nawaki and Kushina Uzumaki have recovered from Mito Uzumaki's death and have become lively again.

September st.

As soon as Natsuki arrived at the Senju clan's residence, he saw Tsunade and Nawaki standing at the entrance.

Yakushi Nonou didn't come along; she went to Konoha Hospital.

She is, after all, a medical ninja.

She can improve her medical ninjutsu skills more quickly at Konoha Hospital.

She only comes over when she has free time to practice physical skills together.

"Natsuki!"

Nawaki said with a smile, "Come on, let's go see the ninja delegation from Sunagakure!"

Xia Mu was slightly taken aback, then remembered.

Koharu previously mentioned that Sunagakure would be coming to Konoha next month for negotiations.

It was called a negotiation, but it was actually a plea for peace.

"Tsunade-sensei, are you in charge of negotiating with Sunagakure?"

Xia Mu asked as he walked.

"Lu Jie will be in charge of the negotiations."

Tsunade shook her head helplessly and said, "I'll take care of greeting them."

She originally wanted to skip even the greeting, but Hiruzen Sarutobi said that she was the most suitable person to greet her in Konoha at the moment.

Hiruzen Sarutobi going to greet them would be giving Sunagakure too much credit.

However, if a ninja of lower rank than Tsunade were to greet her, it would make it seem like Konoha Village lacked manners.

After all, the person in charge of the Sunagakure ninja delegation was Chiyo.

The three of them soon arrived at the entrance of Konoha Village.

Nara Shikasuke and the others had already arrived, and upon seeing Tsunade, they all went up to greet her.

Tsunade nodded and looked into the distance.

The ninja delegation from Sunagakure had not yet arrived.

However, within just a few minutes, Chiyo and the others came into view.
