Naruto: Fusion of Multiverse Character Templates

"What kind of swordsmanship is this?"

Yu Ishida's face showed astonishment.

As a Chunin, he knew many sword techniques, but none of them matched the sword techniques used by Natsuki.

And where did he learn such strong swordsmanship?

"Minato lost? Was I under a genjutsu?"

"They defeated Minato so easily?"

"When did Natsuki learn swordsmanship? It's terrifyingly strong!"

"So handsome! I just realized Natsuki is even more handsome than Minato!"

After a brief moment of quiet, Class 1A became chaotic, with many girls even screaming.

Ishida Yu snapped out of his daze, followed by overwhelming joy.

A genius suddenly appeared in Class 1-A, and he was even the genius who defeated Minato Namikaze. This is an achievement that was picked up for free!

This kid is really good at hiding his true strength; he's never used his full power before, and he's been fooled.

"The victor is Xia Mu!"

"Ishida Yu shouted excitedly."

"Watergate".

Natsuki stepped forward, helped Minato Namikaze up, and asked, "Are you hurt?"

"I'm fine."

Minato Namikaze shook his head and said.

Xia Mu used a wooden sword, so it did not leave any wounds on him.

Of course, pain is inevitable.

"You are much stronger than me."

After regaining his footing, Minato Namikaze looked at him, his eyes still filled with disbelief.

He always believed that even if Xia Mu was hiding his strength, he wouldn't hide too much; at most, he would be evenly matched with him.

But he didn't expect Xia Mu to defeat him so easily; the difference in strength between the two was ridiculously large.

I will try my best to catch up with you.

Minato Namikaze took a deep breath and said with a determined look in his eyes.

He was completely different from Onodera; after being defeated, he didn't feel anger or jealousy, but instead rallied to fight back.

"With your talent, you'll definitely catch up to me soon."

Xia Mu said with a smile, "We'll have another match then."

Minato Namikaze nodded.

The two people left the arena, and the practical exam continued.

Meanwhile, in the Hokage's office.

On the Hokage's desk sat a crystal ball, its surface like water, reflecting Natsuki and Minato Namikaze.

Hiruzen Sarutobi stared at the crystal ball, lost in thought.

As the principal of the ninja academy, he naturally knew that today was the final exam for each grade.

After finishing processing the documents, he used his telescope to observe the battle.

But he never expected Xia Mu to give him such a big surprise.

He has many titles, one of which is Professor of Ninjutsu.

Because he was proficient in the Seven Elements Ninjutsu.

But he was certain that the swordsmanship Xia Mu used was not a known swordsmanship.

In other words, he most likely created his own swordsmanship.

As Hiruzen Sarutobi thought about this, a sense of anticipation welled up in his heart.

There are many geniuses, but very few can create their own ninjutsu.

If another Tobirama Senju were to emerge, it would greatly enhance the strength of Konoha Village.

After all, the foundation of a ninja village lies in ninjutsu.

"Watergate is also good."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a smile.

During the recent battle, he discovered Minato Namikaze's strength: his exceptional reflexes.

He immediately thought of the Flying Thunder God Technique; perhaps he could learn it.

The Flying Thunder God Technique is a strategic-level ninjutsu.

If Minato Namikaze could learn this technique, he could subtly intimidate other ninja villages.

An enemy that could appear at your base at any time is terrifying to think about.

Hiruzen Sarutobi took a puff of his pipe.

An idea popped into his mind.

That is, after Minato Namikaze and Natsuki graduate, Jiraiya and Orochimaru will become their teachers.

There aren't many ninjas in Konoha who are skilled in swordsmanship.

Aside from Sakumo Hatake, there's Orochimaru, and maybe a perennial genin like Seiko-suke.

Orochimaru was his student and a ninja from the Hokage lineage.

Hiruzen Sarutobi naturally wanted to keep the benefits within the family.

He then thought of Yakushi Nonou.

With her talent as a medical ninja, she could easily become Tsunade's student.

In this way, all three of his students now have their own students.

The only problem is that, under normal circumstances, a teacher leading a group should have three students, so it's difficult to find two more.

However, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Tsunade are students of the Hokage and have high status, so making an exception for them is not a problem.

In the future, Minato Namikaze, Natsuki, and Nono Yakushi could even team up.

Of course, they are still a long way from graduation, and anything can happen.

It was noon, and the practical exam for Class A of Grade 1 came to an end.

"I am now announcing the rankings for the practical exam."

"First place, Natsuki!" Ishida Yu announced loudly.

[Congratulations, host, for unlocking Zoro's second template ability: One-Sword Style - Thirty-Six Troublesome Phoenix.]

A smile immediately appeared on Xia Mu's face.

At this point, all of his Zoro template's abilities have been unlocked.

After announcing the rankings for the practical exam, Yu Ishida then announced the rankings and final rankings for the theoretical exam.

Although Xia Mu achieved first place in the practical exam, he suffered a major setback in the theoretical exam, ranking only third.

The final rankings were: Minato Namikaze came in first place, and he came in second.

However, Xia Mu didn't care.

In the ninja world where strength is paramount, rankings based on practical exams are clearly more valuable than rankings based on theoretical exams.

Minato Namikaze thought so too.

So a strange situation arose: the person who came in first place looked the same as the person who came in last place.

[You have awakened the Shiba Tatsuya template.]

Xia Mu was taken aback.

Shiba Tatsuya?

Is he the male protagonist of "The Irregular at Magic High School"?

Why did he suddenly awaken the character template of Tatsuya Shiba?

Xia Mu thought about it carefully and felt that it was mostly related to the fact that he only got second place.

Because Shiba Tatsuya is also a typical academic superstar, excelling in all subjects, a genius in both theory and practice.

However, when he enrolled, he was classified as a second-class student, which means he was an inferior student.

In this respect, he is very similar to Xia Mu, a typical example of someone who hides something and pretends to be weak while actually being strong.

"Looks like second place isn't so bad after all."

Natsuki quickly looked at his awakened Shiba Tatsuya template.
