Naruto: Fusion of Multiverse Character Templates

After breakfast, Natsuki, as usual, took Yakushi Nonou to the entrance of Konoha Hospital.

"Natsuki."

Yakushi Nonou took two steps, turned back, clenched her small fist, and said, "Go for it!"

Xia Mu smiled and nodded.

Today is the final exam for Class 1-A, but Yakushi Nonou will not be taking it because she is already a student in the Medical Ninja Training Class.

Of course, there will also be exams in the medical ninja training program.

However, because the program has only been running for a short time, no exams have been held to date.

Training medical ninjas is too difficult, and it's hard to learn much in a short time, so there's no need for exams.

Natsuki arrived at the ninja academy soon after.

He didn't go to the classroom, but went straight to the playground.

The first practical exam for Class A of Grade 1 was held on the playground.

"Natsuki."

When Minato Namikaze saw him, he walked up to him and greeted him with a smile.

Good morning, Minato.

Natsuki responded.

"What ranking do you expect to achieve in your first practical exam?"

Minato Namikaze looked at him and asked.

Over the past year, Xia Mu has been gradually improving his ranking according to plan, and has now settled in third place.

"First place."

Xia Mu blinked and said.

"First place?"

Minato Namikaze didn't react for a moment.

He had asked Xia Mu similar questions before, and the answers he received were all about doing his best. This was the first time he had received such a clear answer that he was number one.

Why is he suddenly so confident in winning first place?

Over the past year, Xia Mu has only mastered the Substitute Technique, while he has already learned all three body techniques.

"It seems you were definitely hiding something before."

Minato Namikaze paused for a moment, then said seriously, "As a friend, I want to see your true strength in your first real-world test."

"As you wish."

Xia Mu nodded and said.

"I'll wait and see."

Minato Namikaze felt the pressure.

But as a genius, he also has his own pride. If Xia Mu wants to get first place, he has to ask him first.

Nine o'clock in the morning.

Yu Ishida arrived at the playground on time.

Without wasting any words, he explained the rules for the first practical exam for Class A of the first year.

First, only wooden ninja tools can be used.

Secondly, stop when you've made your move; don't go for the kill.

Third, he arranged for the teams to compete in pairs according to the list, and through three rounds of competition, the final rankings were determined.

After the rules were explained, the first practical exam for Class A of Grade 1 officially began.

Xia Mu stood on the sidelines and watched.

As he predicted, it was a complete clash of weaklings.

Apart from Minato Namikaze and him, the other students only knew the Substitution Jutsu, basic taijutsu, and ninja tool throwing.

Such a battle was naturally destined to be less than exciting.

"Round 2, Match 1: Minato Namikaze vs. Onodera!"

Yu Ishida shouted loudly.

The match between the first and second place winners immediately set Class A of the first year abuzz with excitement.

Minato Namikaze, in particular, was extremely popular in the class, with many students cheering him on in unison, creating a spectacular scene.

"What are you shouting for?"

Onodera entered the stage with a gloomy expression.

But no one paid any attention to what he said.

"Watergate!"

Seeing this, Onodera looked at Minato Namikaze and said through gritted teeth, "I've been waiting for this day for a long time, and first place is definitely mine!"

Minato Namikaze said nothing, but began to form the opposing hand seals.

After Onodera completed the opposition hand seal with a livid face, he immediately flung out six kunai with a flick of his wrists.

All six kunai were aimed at Minato Namikaze's vital points.

Minato Namikaze glanced at it and then rushed forward.

"What?"

Onodera was startled.

The next second, something happened that left him speechless.

Minato Namikaze, without changing his speed, dodged and weaved, avoiding his six kunai.

By the time Onodera came to his senses, he was already standing in front of him.

In his haste, he raised his leg and kicked at Minato Namikaze.

Minato Namikaze dodged to the side, simultaneously clenching his right fist and appearing behind him.

Bang!

He threw a punch, hitting Onodera in the back.

Before Onodera could even retract his leg, he was punched and sent rolling several meters away.

"As expected of Minato, the number one player, he's too strong!"

"Onodera didn't even last half a minute?"

"So cool!"

The students in Class A of Grade 1 couldn't help but cheer.

Yu Ishida smiled with satisfaction.

Minato Namikaze easily defeated Onodera without even using the Three Body Technique.

Xia Mu thought to himself, "As expected."

But he wasn't talking about Minato Namikaze defeating Onodera; he was referring to Onodera's terrifying reflexes and dynamic vision.

With the same basic physical techniques, Minato Namikaze is faster and stronger than Onodera.

No wonder he was able to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique later on.

The Flying Thunder God Technique is a space-time ninjutsu, and its greatest characteristic is speed.

Not only will the enemy be unable to react, but the user will also be unable to react.

This requires users to have extremely high reaction speed and dynamic vision.

These two abilities can also provide a significant advantage in combat.

"The victor is Minato Namikaze!"

Yu Ishida announced.

Minato Namikaze's face immediately broke into a sunny smile.

He raised his hand and waved to his classmates who supported him.

In contrast, Onodera's face was even darker than the bottom of a pot.

But he had no other option but to rage in a fit of impotence; a loss was a loss, and a win was a win.

"Round 3, Match 3: Minato Namikaze vs. Natsuki!"

Yu Ishida roused himself and shouted.

If Minato Namikaze defeats Natsuki, then he will be confirmed as the top student in this final exam.

But he didn't think highly of Xia Mu.

Even Onodera, who came in second, lost. Can he, who came in third, make a comeback?

After Natsuki entered the arena, he went to the ninja tool shelf next to him and took a wooden ninja sword.

"With a ninja sword?"

Minato Namikaze and the others immediately sensed something was amiss.

Because none of them had ever seen Natsuki use a ninja sword, and they didn't even know that he had learned swordsmanship.

Minato Namikaze completed the opposing seal with a solemn expression.

The sound of wind arose.

He took out four kunai from his ninja tools and threw them out.

Compared to Onodera's kunai, his kunai were faster and more tricky.

Xia Mu started moving.

The ninja sword traced an arc, precisely deflecting four kunai, and with its remaining momentum, slashed towards Minato Namikaze's wrist.

Minato Namikaze was greatly alarmed.

Xia Mu's strength truly exceeded his expectations.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly.

Almost instantly, he drew two more kunai and parried Natsuki's ninja sword.

One-Sword Style: Horse Demon!

Xia Mu's gaze sharpened.

The ninja sword unleashed a steady force and slashed downwards!

"What?"

Minato Namikaze's pupils contracted, followed by a searing pain.

Natsuki's ninja sword severed his two wooden kunai and slashed across his chest.

If he hadn't reacted quickly, and if he hadn't used a wooden sword, he would have been cleaved in two long ago.

Minato Namikaze looked at Natsuki with lingering fear.

He stood still, not giving chase, but simply watching him quietly, yet a sudden pressure arose.

Minato Namikaze gritted his teeth and immediately formed hand seals.

Clone Technique!

Another Minato Namikaze appears.

The two Minato Namikazes took turns charging towards Natsuki.

The Clone Technique is not the same as the Shadow Clone Technique; it has no combat ability and can only serve as a diversion.

Minato Namikaze's tactics were simple: he used basic physical techniques along with his clone technique to attack Natsuki.

If Xia Mu chooses the wrong person, the other one can take the opportunity to launch an effective attack.

Ittō-ryū (One-Sword Style), Iaijutsu (Quick Attack), and Shishi-sō (Lion's Lament)!

But Natsuki did not make a choice.

He disappeared from the spot as the two Minato Namikazes overlapped.

He was like a gust of wind that swept past the two Minato Namikazes.

With a bang.

Minato Namikaze's clone vanished in the form of smoke.

He jolted, let out a painful groan, and collapsed to the ground.

In an instant, the playground fell into a deathly silence.

"What happened?"

Onodera looked bewildered.

He didn't even see Xia Mu's sword strike clearly.
