Naruto: Fusion of Multiverse Character Templates

Chapter 125 Encountering Hanzo, the Weather Stick Shows Its Power (First and Second Updates)

The land where the Land of Rain and the Land of Fire meet.

Xia Mu stopped in her tracks.

He sensed the Konoha ninjas in the distance.

Both of their teams have been detected by the enemy.

Because a group of parasitic insects appeared within Xia Mu's electromagnetic wave sensing range.

This is undoubtedly a ninja from the Aburame clan.

"I'll go negotiate."

Maruboshi Kosuke also sensed the Konoha ninjas in the distance and spoke up.

"Thank you for your help, Kosuke-senpai."

Xia Mu nodded and agreed.

If both of their teams go, it could easily cause misunderstandings.

During wartime, anything is possible.

There have been instances before where Sunagakure ninjas impersonated Konoha ninjas to make contact with other Konoha ninjas.

Xia Mu and the others stood still.

A few minutes later, Kosuke Maruboshi arrived in front of them with a group of Konoha ninja.

Xia Mu glanced at them and saw that there were quite a few people, nine ninja squads, totaling thirty-six people.

But that's understandable.

This batch of supplies was the last one in this war.

In other words, this was prepared by Orochimaru for the final battle against Amegakure.

Of course, winning is the final battle.

If we lose, we'll have to keep playing.

However, since Hanzo's poison has been cracked, the chances of losing are slim.

"Natsuki."

A middle-aged ninja stepped forward and introduced himself, saying, "I am the person in charge of this supply escort, my name is Yamanaka Shogo."

He was very polite because he knew about Xia Mu's deeds.

"Senior Changwu."

Xia Mu greeted him with a smile.

"Natsuki."

Without hesitation, Shogo Yamanaka replied, "From now on, we will follow your orders."

Minato Namikaze and Nawaki both felt envious upon hearing this.

The mission scroll given by Orochimaru did not mention that Natsuki should be in command.

This was clearly a personal act by Shogo Yamanaka.

There is only one reason for this behavior: he believes that Xia Mu is better than him and has a higher level of strength and status.

This is the benefit of war.

The outstanding Natsuki has gradually risen to become a high-ranking member of Konoha Village due to his soaring fame.

Nawaki exclaimed that this was exactly what he had always dreamed of.

Before participating in the Second Shinobi World War, he had dreamed of making a name for himself.

Minato Namikaze also had a similar idea.

Unfortunately, reality was not what he imagined.

"Welcome."

Xia Mu nodded slightly and said, "There's no need for further words. We will escort you to the Konoha Village headquarters."

The group of over forty people joined together and headed towards the Konoha Village headquarters.

Xia Mu walked at the front, keeping the electromagnetic wave sensor on the whole time.

Although electromagnetic wave induction consumes chakra, it is insignificant to him.

Half an hour later, Xia Mu's gaze suddenly sharpened.

He sensed a massive surge of chakra heading towards them.

"defense!"

Xia Mu shouted without hesitation.

Maruhoshi Kosuke and the others were stunned.

They also activated their sensory ninjutsu, but they didn't detect anything unusual.

But the next second, their expressions all changed drastically.

Xia Mu looked up and saw all the rainwater rapidly gathering in mid-air.

Soon, a giant wave over twenty meters high was formed.

It swept towards Xia Mu and the others with an all-consuming momentum.

"In the Land of Rain, only Hanzo could use such terrifying water-style ninja techniques!"

Maruhoshi Kosuke immediately said.

The other Konoha ninjas' expressions changed drastically.

With Hanzo himself present, how could they possibly escape?

But they were all elites after all, and upon hearing Xia Mu's order, they all used defensive ninjutsu.

However, they lacked confidence in the face of the overwhelming waves.

Just then, Xia Mu took out the Magic Weather Wand.

Although he has many character templates now, he doesn't have many abilities across a wide range.

The Magic Weather Stick is currently the best solution.

Especially since this is the land of rain.

You use water escape techniques, so I'll use water escape techniques too.

Weather Eggs - Perfect for Rainy Days!

Xia Mu raised the magic weather wand.

Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, one dark cloud after another rose into the sky.

Xia Mu swung his sword forcefully.

A large amount of chakra was channeled into the magic weather stick.

boom!

A torrential downpour was pouring down from the sky.

But as it approached the ground, it seemed to be manipulated into a turn and flew straight ahead.

"What kind of water-style ninjutsu is this?"

Maruhoshi Kosuke couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

A torrent of water descended from the sky, crashing into the massive waves at incredible speed.

Soon, the two collided.

Everyone felt the ground beneath their feet shaking continuously.

Water splashed everywhere, countless streams collided together, and then separated.

"That's spectacular!"

As Rope Tree looked at the land within his sight being completely submerged by water, he couldn't help but blurt out.

Minato Namikaze instinctively looked at the Weather Stick.

He instinctively felt that the thin blue rod was the key.

"When did Konoha Village acquire such a powerful Water Release ninja?"

A figure suddenly appeared.

He stood on the water, wearing a gas mask, holding a chain in his left hand and a scythe-like ninja sword in his right.

This is precisely the special ninja sword that Hanzo excelled at: the Flying Scythe.

After he appeared, more figures fell.

In the blink of an eye, the number exceeded fifty.

Seeing this, Yamanaka Shogo and the others felt even more uneasy.

They felt they were going to die here.

"Senior Changwu, you should retreat with the supplies first."

Although Xia Mu unexpectedly encountered Hanzo here, fortunately, he was now in a position to defeat Hanzo, so even if he couldn't beat him, he could still escape.

However, he did not intend to fight him head-on, because that would expose the fact that he was not afraid of poison.

If Hanzo knew that he was not afraid of poison, he would definitely misunderstand and think that Konoha Village had cracked his poison.

At that point, he might not mobilize the entire Amegakure to wage a decisive battle against Konoha.

"Xia Mu, this—"

Upon hearing this, Shogo Yamanaka was startled, and a look of hesitation appeared on his face.

In his view, Xia Mu was sacrificing himself to buy them time.

"As you just saw, my water-style techniques are not much worse than his."

Xia Mu waved the magic weather stick in his hand and said, "This is a water-style ninja tool that I crafted at great expense, so you don't need to worry."

""

"Watch out!"

Shogo Yamanaka finally made up his mind.

After all, supplies are the most important thing.

"You all go too."

Natsuki looked at Minato Namikaze, Nawaki, and the others and said, "Kousuke-senpai, please stay."

"No, I'm not leaving!"

Rope Tree quickly refused.

Minato Namikaze didn't speak, but his eyes were firm, and his meaning was very clear.

The same goes for Yakushi Nonou.

Xia Mu was at a loss for words, both amused and exasperated.

He really does have a way of dealing with Hanzo.

In fact, the Weather Wand alone was enough for him to achieve his goal of stalling for time.

"I'm the captain now, I obey orders!"

Xia Mu said in a cold voice.

"I----"

Rope Tree hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Minato Namikaze opened his mouth, his heart filled with resentment.

He always thought he was a genius and very capable.

But when faced with a truly strong opponent, he still can't do anything.

"Want to leave? Not so easy!"

Seeing this, Hanzo formed hand seals again.

The water on the ground and the rain in the sky suddenly trembled, and then, under his control, transformed into a water dragon.

One after another, water dragons roared out, creating a spectacular sight.

At the same time, he slapped his hands on the ground.

With a loud bang!

The salamander appears in the well.

Xia Mu raised an eyebrow, suddenly realizing something that would benefit him.

Their water-based attacks collided, and the ubiquitous rainwater caused the ground to be covered in puddles.

At this time, in addition to the Water Release ninjutsu receiving a boost, there is another ninjutsu that can be invincible.

That's Lightning Release ninjutsu.

Lightning Release ninjutsu can be rapidly spread by using Water Release ninjutsu.

Weather Egg - Thunder Seed Weather!

Thinking of this, Xia Mu immediately raised the magic weather wand.

A white egg appeared and cracked open, and thunderclouds flew into the sky.

In an instant, lightning flashed and thunder roared.

Countless bolts of lightning tore through the air and poured down.

"not good!"

Seeing this, Hanzo quickly shouted, "Back off!"

At this moment, all the Amegakure ninjas were on the water's surface. With these dense bolts of lightning striking down, many of them would suffer.

Sanshoyu Ibuki also dared not step forward.

So many bolts of lightning striking it won't make it feel good.

Hanzo leaped up.

He gripped the flying scythe, channeling a massive amount of chakra into it, and then swung it out.

A massive blade of light appeared in the air and then fell into the water.

The water was quickly separated.

Xia Mu's lightning stopped here because there was no water.

"You're skilled in both Water Release and Lightning Release, who are you?"

Hanzo looked at Natsuki, his interest piqued.

"Do you believe me now?"

Xia Mu didn't answer. With his back to Sheng Shu and the others, he said, "Only after you leave can I run away with peace of mind."

Seeing this, Rope Tree and the others stopped insisting and turned to run away.

"I am Xia Mu."

Xia Mu looked at Hanzo and said with a smile, "I have long heard of Boss Hanzo. It's a pleasure to meet you."

"Orochimaru's student?"

Hanzo was somewhat taken aback and asked, "Aren't you skilled in archery and swordsmanship?"

"Please excuse my ignorance, I've only been learning for a short time."

Xia Mu blinked and said.

"Arrogant!"

Hanzo snorted coldly and immediately ordered, "I'll hold him off, you all go after him!"

Natsuki and Maruboshi Kosuke naturally wouldn't let the Amegakure ninjas catch up with Nawaki and the others.

The Sword Shadow Clone Technique!

Maruboshi Kosuke immediately threw a shuriken.

The dense array of shuriken unleashed immediately threw many Amegakure ninjas into a frantic frenzy.

"Ibushi!"

Hanzo shouted expressionlessly.

The salamander fish immediately jumped up.

In mid-air, it opened its mouth.

A large amount of poisonous gas was released.

Not wanting to reveal their ability to convert poison into medicine, Natsuki and Maruhoshi Kosuke immediately used Shave to retreat.

Hanzo was clearly surprised by how fast their Body Flicker Technique was, and he frowned.

At the same time, Xia Mu raised the magic weather wand.

Creamy bubbles!

Numerous cloud-like spheres flew out.

After they landed, they rapidly expanded, forming towering cloud walls.

The poison gas was immediately blocked.

"What an annoying ninja tool."

Hanzo had already realized that Natsuki's Water Release and Lightning Release techniques were related to the thin blue rod in his hand.

He immediately gripped the throwing sickle in his hand and swung it forcefully.

With a single slash, the cloud wall was split in two.

But behind the cloud wall was a long string of lightning balls.

Thundercloud Staff!

Xia Mu suddenly flung it away.

All the lightning orbs connected to the Magic Weather Wand lit up, radiating electric light in all directions.

When lightning encounters water, it immediately produces a series of crackling sounds.

Many Amegakure ninjas were caught off guard and struck by the lightning, screaming in agony.

The salamander Ibuki, who had intended to move forward, retreated again.

Kosuke Maruboshi glanced at the Magic Weather Stick subconsciously.

In all his years of life, this was the first time he had ever seen such a powerful ninja tool.

Compared to the Magic Weather Stick, the other ninja tools are far too limited in function.

I don't know where Natsuki got this amazing ninja tool from.

But for Hanzo, it was very unpleasant.

If word gets out that Orochimaru's student, a mere brat, can't even handle him, where will he put his face?

Sword Technique: Iai Slash!

Hanzo leaped into the air at incredible speed.

He vanished from the spot.

Xia Mu immediately sensed an indescribable sharp aura locking onto him.

Cunning!

Xia Mu flashed past Hanzo.

Hanzo immediately showed surprise.

This was the first time he had ever seen anyone dodge his sword technique, Iaijutsu.

But he was going too fast, so he couldn't turn around and could only miss Xia Mu.

shave!

Xia Mu created some distance and flicked his left hand.

Thor's sword flew out.

Hanzo naturally knew that he possessed a secret technique to make ninja tools explode.

He dodged Thor's sword in a flash.

Just then, the nearby water was drawn to the area around Maruhoshi Kosuke.

Water Escape·Water Rush Wave!

The water spun and rose rapidly like a tornado.

In an instant, it spread outwards like a waterfall.

The ninjas of Amegakure were forced to stop and begin their defense.

"Tobirama Senju's Water Release."

Hanzo glanced at him and realized that Maruboshi Kosuke was no ordinary person.

But before he could think any further, he felt a chill.

Large amounts of snowflakes fell from the sky.

Hanzo reacted quickly and immediately opened a black umbrella.

The chakra surged forth, scattering all the snowflakes.

When snowflakes land, they immediately freeze into ice wherever water is present.

"Kousuke-senpai, let's retreat!"

Xia Mu immediately shouted.

Upon hearing this, Maruhoshi Kosuke used the Shave technique and disappeared from the spot.

Hanzo stood still, without giving chase.

Because their mission has failed.

Shogo Yamanaka and his men had already fled with the supplies.

If we catch up, it won't be long before reinforcements from Konoha arrive.

Hanzo was very familiar with Orochimaru's abilities.

Every time he appears, Orochimaru quickly notices him and makes arrangements accordingly.

Since Hanzo didn't give chase, the other Amegakure ninjas also stopped.

"Konoha Village truly produces a wealth of talented individuals."

Hanzo sighed and said.

Judging from Xia Mu's current performance, he will become a Kage-level powerhouse in a few years.

Konoha Village is thriving, but Amegakure Village is only supported by him alone.

He dared not imagine what would happen to Amegakure after his death; it would most likely be repeatedly ravaged by the great ninja villages.

Hanzo had already guessed what Orochimaru wanted to do.

After such a long period of fighting, it is difficult for Amegakure to hold on any longer.

In particular, there was an extreme shortage of supplies.

He originally intended to seize the supplies from Konoha Village to alleviate Amegakure's awkward situation.

But then Xia Mu appeared, an anomaly, and stopped them with his magic weather wand.

Hanzo had considered bringing more Amegakure ninjas, but if there were too many, Orochimaru would definitely notice.

Then there will be even less of a chance.

For him, only the final decisive battle remained.

But he is not without a chance of winning.

Because he and the salamander are enough to withstand a thousand troops.

Group battles are what they excel at.

In a one-on-one battle like this against Natsuki, the advantages of Sanshoyoibushi cannot be fully utilized.

"They didn't catch up."

Xia Mu let out a breath and said.

"Your performance today has once again impressed me."

Maruhoshi Kosuke asked curiously, "And what's with these ninja tools of yours?"

He remembered that Natsuki had not used this ninja tool during the previous war with Sunagakure.

"I had Granny Cat make it using Lightning Release chakra crystals and Water Release chakra crystals."

Xia Mu didn't hide anything and spoke directly.

After all, this matter couldn't be kept secret.

"No wonder he's so amazing."

Maruhoshi Kosuke couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.

Lightning Release chakra crystals and Water Release chakra crystals are, without exaggeration, priceless.

It's difficult to find even a few pieces in the five major villages.

It's incredibly extravagant that Natsuki could forge a ninja tool from just two pieces of wood.

However, its power is indeed worth the price.

"Natsuki!"

Rope Tree and the others came to greet them.

Although they left, they didn't go far.

Only Yamanaka Shogo and his men escorted the supplies back to Konoha Village's main camp.

"We're fine."

Xia Mu said with a smile, "Hanzo probably saw that you guys had run far away, so he chose to give up."

"That's good."

Rope Tree breathed a sigh of relief.

"You escaped from Hanzo's clutches unscathed; your fame will probably skyrocket soon."

Minato Namikaze remarked with emotion.

Xia Mu was slightly taken aback.

It sounds exaggerated, but it's true.

The reason why the three legendary Sannin of Konoha were so famous in the original work was because they survived Hanzo's attack.

"Running away is no skill; your fame will skyrocket once you kill him."

Xia Mu chuckled and said.

Minato Namikaze was stunned upon hearing this.

He sensed Xia Mu's confidence.

Considering his current abilities, he certainly has the confidence to back it up.

Not long after, the sound of wind breaking through the air rang out.

It was Orochimaru and Shogo Yamanaka, among others.

"Thank goodness you weren't injured."

Orochimaru looked around and then felt relieved.

Shogo Yamanaka and the others were greatly shocked.

They had assumed that Xia Mu and the others would be injured even if they managed to escape, but they appeared to be unharmed.

"Please explain the specific details."

Orochimaru thought for a moment and then said.

He was also very curious about how Natsuki and the others escaped from Hanzo.

Xia Mu recounted what had happened and then introduced the Magic Weather Stick.

Shogo Yamanaka and the others then realized that the powerful water escape technique was due to the magic weather stick.

"This ninja tool is really good."

Orochimaru felt surprised or rather, curious.

The group returned to the Konoha Village headquarters.

A meeting of Jonin was then held in the main tent.

Natsuki and Maruboshi Kosuke attended this Jonin meeting.

The content is very simple.

With the arrival of the last batch of supplies, Konoha Village is preparing for a decisive battle.

The battle with Amegakure will determine the victor and end this Ninja World War.

Of course, the decisive battle is not a full-scale attack from the start; a certain level of planning is required.

However, these are all Orochimaru's business; Natsuki only needs to carry out his mission.
