Naruto: Fusion of Multiverse Character Templates

Chapter 116 Designated Challenge to Sakumo, Kakashi's Birth (Third and Fourth Updates)

The ninja delegation from Sunagakure quickly arrived at the entrance of Konoha.

"Chiyo, welcome."

Tsunade stepped forward, smiling, and said, "I didn't expect we'd meet again in Konoha."

"I hope we can meet again in Sunagakure next time."

Chiyo said expressionlessly.

"Maybe that day will come."

Tsunade retorted sharply.

Although they met again in Sunagakure, what she meant was something else entirely: to infiltrate Sunagakure.

Chiyo felt a pang of pain in her heart, but she didn't say anything more.

"please."

Tsunade raised her hand.

Chiyo entered Konoha Village with mixed feelings.

"You must be tired from your journey. Konoha Village has prepared accommodations for you."

Nara Shikasuke reminded everyone, "Please get some rest tonight. Our negotiations will begin at 9:00 AM tomorrow."

Thank you.

Chiyo nodded and said.

"Come with me."

Tsunade walked to the front and led the way for the Sunagakure ninja delegation.

Natsuki and Nawaki followed Nara Shikasuke on her left.

"Tsunade, I have a question for you."

Chiyo suddenly remembered something and asked, "How long did it take you to break my poison?"

The other Sunagakure ninjas also subconsciously looked at Tsunade.

The reason for the defeat in this war was that Chiyo's poison was broken.

"one day."

Tsunade smiled and said.

Chiyo's expression froze instantly.

Was her prized poison actually cracked in just one day?

Tsunade glanced at her.

Chiyo's poison was neutralized by the antidote for the curse.

The antidote for the curse came from Xia Mu.

Originally intended to cure Hanzo's poison, it inadvertently cured Chiyo's poison as well.

Tsunade naturally wouldn't explain it to her.

Let her imagine it, so that she can develop more fear of Konoha Village.

If there is another Shinobi World War, and Sunagakure and Konoha fight again, they certainly won't dare to rely on her poison again.

"When will we be able to see Gravel and Rasa?"

Chiyo, being a veteran, quickly regained her composure.

"You can go see them now if you want."

Tsunade paused for a moment, then said, "But not all of them can go; a maximum of three people."

This is Konoha Village.

Even if the entire Sunagakure ninja delegation went, they wouldn't cause much of a stir, but to avoid unnecessary trouble, she still set a limit on the number of participants.

"Once we've settled in, we'll trouble you to take us there."

Chiyo nodded and said.

"Shikasuke, you make the arrangements."

Tsunade said casually.

"Yes, Lady Tsunade."

Nara Shikasuke immediately responded.

As Xia Mu listened to their conversation, a question came to mind.

Are the captured Gravel, Leaf Village, and Rasa just being returned to Sunagakure like this?

Although Sunagakure will pay a huge price this time and may not be able to invade Konoha for many years, Natsuki suddenly had an idea.

That is to cooperate with Yekura and support Yekura to become the fourth Kazekage.

He had his reasons for choosing Yekura.

One reason is that in the original work, she was directly sold by Rasa and Sunagakure to Kirigakure.

Secondly, it's because she wasn't a ninja from the Kazekage lineage.

Thirdly, because her strength is inferior to that of Luo Sha.

If she becomes the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa will definitely be dissatisfied, and Sunagakure could easily split into two factions.

Why do I feel like I'm the main villain?

Xia Mu raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself that it might actually trigger some kind of villain character template.

Whether the methods used are despicable or not is irrelevant in chaotic times.

It's this chaotic world that ruined you.

A moment later, the group arrived at the accommodations prepared for the Sunagakure ninja delegation.

"Chiyo, if you need anything, you can contact Shikasuke, he will handle it."

Tsunade stopped and said, "I have to go to the Hokage's office. See you next time."

After she finished speaking, she left with Rope Tree and Natsuki.

"Sis, weren't you going to the Hokage's office?"

Rope Tree looked around and realized that the road was wrong.

"That's just to appease Chiyo."

Tsunade casually remarked, "Shikasuke will handle the negotiations; I don't really have anything to talk to the teacher about."

"So what are we going to do next?"

Nawaki asked expectantly, "How about we go out on a mission?"

"You've only been back for less than two weeks and you already can't stay idle?"

Tsunade raised an eyebrow and said, "Then you'll train in taijutsu with me today."

"what?"

Rope Tree paused, not understanding.

Haven't they always practiced physical skills together?

"Let's have a friendly exchange."

Tsunade added.

Rope Tree's eyes widened suddenly.

Sparring with you? Is that really sparring? Isn't it just one-sided beatings?

But faced with Tsunade's gaze, he dared not argue and could only agree with tears in his eyes.

Xia Mu couldn't help but smile.

Upon arriving at the Senju clan's residence, Tsunade took Nawaki to a nearby open space.

She always keeps her word; if she says she'll spar with him, she will.

Moreover, more practice is never a bad thing; it is beneficial for learning physical skills.

Natsuki entered Mito Uzumaki's residence.

Of course, it has now become Kushina Uzumaki's residence.

He entered the courtyard and saw Kushina Uzumaki sitting on the steps, her hands supporting her chin, looking completely idle.

"Natsuki!"

Kushina Uzumaki immediately stood up, ran to him, and said, "You're back! I was so bored by myself!"

""

Since becoming the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, her activities have been confined to this courtyard.

At most, they operate within the Senju clan's territory.

But once she leaves the courtyard, she will be followed by ANBU ninjas.

In addition, there wasn't much to do at the Senju clan's stronghold, so she rarely went out.

Why are you sitting directly on the steps?

Xia Mu reached out and patted her short skirt twice.

The dust on the short skirt was then brushed off.

Kushina Uzumaki hadn't expected him to make such a move; she felt a tremor in her hips, and a blush involuntarily rose to her face.

How are you doing today?

Xia Mu withdrew his hand and asked again.

He was referring to the Nine-Tailed Fox.

After discovering that its jinchūriki had been replaced, Kurama became restless and tried several times to break the seal.

"No problem."

Kushina Uzumaki shook her head and said.

What are your thoughts on the Nine-Tails?

Xia Mu pondered for a moment and then asked.

"It feels fierce and evil."

Kushina Uzumaki tilted her head and said.

Have you seen it before?

Natsuki smiled as he recalled the Nine-Tails' fate in the original work.

Is it fierce? It is indeed fierce, but it is also truly tragic, having always been treated as a tool.

"I've met him once."

Kushina Uzumaki replied, "But as soon as it saw me, it bared its teeth and claws and said it was going to eat me. I was so scared that I ran away—"

In the end, she lowered her head in embarrassment.

"It's normal to be scared."

Xia Mu paused for a moment, then asked, "Have you thought about communicating with it?"

"Mito-sama won't let me communicate with it, saying it will control my emotions and make me go berserk."

Kushina Uzumaki looked up at him and replied.

"I see."

Xia Mu suggested, "I think you could try communicating with it when you have free time."

Why?

Kushina Uzumaki asked in a dazed and innocent manner.

Have you ever heard of a perfect Jinchūriki?

Xia Mu gave her a reason and explained what a perfect Jinchūriki is.

"Is that even possible?"

Kushina Uzumaki asked, puzzled, "Why didn't Mito-sama tell me?"

"I guess it's because Lady Mito doesn't need it."

Xia Mu thought for a moment and said, "Moreover, the Nine-Tails is the most powerful tailed beast. Even if it's not a perfect Jinchūriki, it's strong enough."

Most importantly, after Mito Uzumaki became the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki, Hashirama Senju lived for a period of time.

With this god of the ninja world around, it makes little difference whether the perfect Jinchuriki exists or not.

However, after the Third Shinobi World War, Konoha Village took a sharp turn for the worse.

This may be one of the reasons why Konoha Village helped Naruto Uzumaki become the perfect Jinchuriki in the original work.

"Becoming stronger is never a bad thing."

Xia Mu continued.

The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is indeed very strong, and at this stage, he can be considered an invincible being.

However, in the later stages, even if one is a Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, it will be difficult to survive if one does not become a perfect Jinchuriki.

"Since you put it that way, I'll talk to it next time."

Kushina Uzumaki nodded and said.

"No rush, there's plenty of time, take your time."

Xia Mu patted her head and said.

"Um.

Kushina Uzumaki looked around and asked, "Why are you alone today?"

"Tsunade-sensei and Nawaki went to train in taijutsu, and Nonou went to Konoha Hospital."

Xia Mu paused for a moment, then asked, "Has the Hokage allowed you to train now?"

He didn't say.

Kushina Uzumaki said wistfully, "It's so boring watching you guys train every day."

"You can learn taijutsu, as long as you don't use chakra, it won't affect Kurama."

Xia Mu thought of Naruto Uzumaki from the original work.

In the early stages, due to the interference of the Nine-Tails, it was very difficult for him to learn ninjutsu.

However, taijutsu is not ninjutsu. Theoretically, it can be used without chakra, but its power is weaker.

"real?"

Kushina Uzumaki's eyes lit up.

"I'll teach you how to shave."

Xia Mu smiled and said.

His teaching of taijutsu to Kushina Uzumaki couldn't possibly have escaped Hiruzen Sarutobi's notice.

If not, he will appear soon.

If permitted, then we can continue teaching indefinitely.

Kushina Uzumaki nodded.

Xia Mu's gaze shifted downwards, landing on her legs encased in dark red over-the-knee stockings.

"What's wrong?"

Kushina Uzumaki noticed his gaze and asked, "Do you need me to change my shoes?"

She had seen Nawaki and Yakushi Nonou practice Shave, so she knew it was a kind of instantaneous movement technique that worked on the legs.

"It might be better to take off the over-the-knee socks."

Xia Mu pondered for a moment, then said.

"Then I'll take it off."

Kushina Uzumaki sat down on the steps again.

Xia Mu didn't even have time to stop it.

She first took off her shoes, revealing her fair and delicate feet, then reached out and pinched them with both hands, pulling them down from her thighs.

Perhaps because she had worn them for a long time, there was a ring of indentation on her fair thighs.

Soon, Kushina Uzumaki took off her over-the-knee socks and stood up again.

She stuffed her over-the-knee socks into her handbag, dusted off her skirt, and then looked at Xia Mu.

"I'll explain it to you first, then demonstrate it with you, and finally you can begin your practice."

Xia Mu coughed lightly and began his explanation.

It was afternoon.

Kushina Uzumaki took a deep breath, and her jade-like legs trembled instantly, stomping on the ground in a flash.

But she didn't succeed; she remained standing in the same spot.

The probability of succeeding on the first try is very small.

Seeing this, Xia Mu comforted him.

Kushina Uzumaki nodded, undeterred, and continued her training.

Xia Mu withdrew his gaze and began practicing his Lightning Release: Earth Walk technique.

sunset.

Tsunade and Nawaki, having finished their training, entered the courtyard.

Xia Mu subconsciously looked up and saw the half-dead Rope Tree.

His face was exhausted, and his body was covered with fist marks.

Clearly, Tsunade showed no mercy.

"Lady Tsunade."

Kushina Uzumaki stopped her training and greeted him, "Nawaki."

Tsunade nodded, but didn't say anything to her about learning to shave.

Her thoughts were the same as Natsuki's, but Hiruzen Sarutobi disagreed and naturally came to stop her.

"Xia Mu, when is dinner served?"

Rope Tree said weakly, "I feel like I can eat ten more bowls than usual."

"I'll go cook now."

Xia Mu said with a smile.

Not long after, Yakushi Nonou also returned from Konoha Hospital.

During this period, they trained together and ate here as well.

It mainly comes down to Tsunade and Nawaki's requirements.

They all wanted to freeload a meal.

A group of people quickly gathered around the dining table.

"Natsuki."

Tsunade picked up her chopsticks and suddenly asked, "Do you want to become a Jonin?"

"What?"

Nawaki was even more shocked than Natsuki. "Natsuki is so young and he's already a Jonin?"

"Natsuki's strength has surpassed that of many Jonin."

Kushina Uzumaki defended him, saying, "I think it's only natural that he became a Jonin."

"But becoming a Jonin requires more than just strength."

Nawaki looked at Tsunade and asked, "Sis, didn't you say before that we also needed abilities in intelligence gathering, analysis, command, and team leadership?"

"Didn't Natsuki demonstrate these abilities during the war with Sunagakure?"

Tsunade countered with a question.

Rope Tree was immediately taken aback.

But upon closer inspection, it makes sense.

During the war with Sunagakure, Natsuki was always their captain.

He has expertise in intelligence gathering, analysis, command, and team leadership.

"Wouldn't that mean Natsuki would become the youngest Jonin in Konoha?"

Nawaki snapped out of his daze and said resentfully, "Damn it! I wanted this achievement too!"

Xia Mu blinked.

For him, whether someone is a Jonin or not is actually not important.

After all, his current strength and status speak for themselves.

If Naruto Uzumaki could become Hokage from a Genin, so can he.

"Will Natsuki still be on our team after he becomes a Jonin?"

Yakushi Nonou asked with some concern.

"They definitely have to be on our team!"

Upon hearing this, Rope Tree immediately spoke up.

"meeting."

Tsunade said with a smile, "Konoha does not have a rule that you must leave your original team and lead a new team after becoming a Jonin."

"That's pretty good."

Nawaki was relieved and said with a smile, "Natsuki, the youngest Jonin, if you don't want him, he's mine!"

In the original work, the youngest Jonin was twelve years old, a record set by Kakashi Hatake.

There is no such record yet.

What does the Jonin Exam test?

Xia Mu asked curiously.

"It's just a formality, letting you spar with an ANBU Jonin."

Tsunade explained, "The real test comes from the teacher; he will help you become a Jonin."

Xia Mu nodded, not surprised at all.

Jonin are extremely important to every ninja village.

In Konoha, without the approval of the Hokage or the higher-ups in Konoha, it's impossible to become a Jonin.

"Can I specify a Jonin?"

Natsuki's mind stirred, and he thought of Hatake Sakumo.

His Sasaki Kojiro template is missing one ability that hasn't been unlocked yet.

Fourth ability: Mind's Eye. He defeated a ninja whose swordsmanship was even better than his own.

Natsuki wasn't sure if his current swordsmanship surpassed that of Hatake Sakumo.

But if he is not satisfied, then it will be difficult to find a second one in the ninja world.

In short, attack first.

If this drags on any longer, he might become the strongest swordsman in the ninja world.

"Although there is no precedent, the teacher will most likely not refuse."

Tsunade raised an eyebrow and asked, "Whom do you want to designate?"

"Sakumo Hatake".

Xia Mu explained.

"You want to witness his swordsmanship? That suits your nature. If Sakumo agrees, then of course there's no problem."

Tsunade nodded and said, "Then you'll come with me to the Hokage's office tomorrow."

"OK."

Natsuki was really looking forward to his match against Sakumo Hatake.

After all, the effect of being cunning is very powerful.

"Can we go and watch when it happens?"

Rope Tree quickly asked.

"I can take you there."

Tsunade said nonchalantly.

Although under normal circumstances, the Jonin Exams are conducted without any audience, there are always exceptions.

Another new day.

After having breakfast, Natsuki went to the Hokage's office with Tsunade.

"What's the matter that you two got up here?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi put down his pipe and asked.

"Didn't you ask me to talk to Natsuki about the Jonin Exams?"

Tsunade stated directly, "He has agreed, but he wants Sakumo to be his opponent."

"As expected of a young person."

Hiruzen Sarutobi laughed upon hearing this.

Other pseudo-Jonin examiners hoped to encounter a weak opponent, but Natsuki deliberately chose a strong one.

All I can say is that they were young and impetuous.

"Given Sakumo's personality, he should agree, but you'll have to wait a while."

Hiruzen Sarutobi explained, "Sakumo took leave because his child is due."

child?

Kakashi Hatake?

Xia Mu was stunned for a moment.

He carefully recalled the details; Kakashi Hatake's birthday was September 15th.

In other words, there are still thirteen days left.

"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry."

Xia Mu nodded and said.

"We will send our secret agents to communicate with Shuo Mao."

Hiruzen Sarutobi pondered for a moment and said, "If he doesn't agree, I'll personally conduct the assessment."

Good guy!

Is the "Ten Thousand Seconds Three-Strike" technique coming soon?

But Natsuki was really curious about what character template would be triggered if he defeated Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Of course, with his current strength, it would be very difficult to defeat him.

He was not confident of defeating Sakumo Hatake because Sakumo Hatake only knew swordsmanship.

Furthermore, his various abilities related to swords, especially the abilities of the Sasaki Kojiro template, were completely ineffective against him.

Hiruzen Sarutobi is different; he can definitely be called the most versatile ninja in the ninja world today.

He can do everything and is proficient in everything.

Xia Mu was actually quite similar to him.

Because of his various character archetypes, he is also an all-around ninja.

That's why he can counter Hiruzen Sarutobi when he's weaker than Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Thank you, Hokage-sama."

Xia Mu immediately responded.
