Naruto: Fusion of Multiverse Character Templates

Chapter 162 The Template of the Shrine Maiden Kikyo (Third and Fourth Updates)

"What's going on?"

Nawaki scratched his head and asked, "When did Natsuki learn so many terrifying ninjutsu?"

Blood Demon Art: Frosty White Princess, Thunder Giant, Blood Demon Art: Mist Ice: Sleeping Lotus Bodhisattva, and Iron Sand Sword.

He was seeing all four ninjutsu that Natsuki used for the first time.

"But its power is truly terrifying!"

Rope Tree sighed again.

Yakushi Nonou nodded slightly.

She had never seen Natsuki use those four ninjutsu.

But every ninjutsu she used felt like it was S-rank.

A look of longing appeared in Yakushi Nonou's eyes.

From the moment he met Xia Mu, he constantly surprised her.

He is now the most important person in her heart.

Miroku subconsciously activated her priestess powers.

She was trying to sense the ghosts.

Even when it was sealed away, she could still vaguely sense its presence.

But in fact, it turned out that her feeling was correct.

The demons are truly gone; they have vanished from this world.

Maitreya instinctively pinched himself.

After feeling the pain, a surge of excitement welled up inside me.

Xia Mu truly is the savior of their lineage of shrine maidens.

She had made up her mind that as long as he didn't take control of the Demon Kingdom, she was willing to be controlled by him and obey all his commands.

Xia Mu stood still, digesting the new information.

As for defeating the demon, he was not surprised.

After all, both the Third and Fourth Kazekage were able to suppress the One-Tailed Shukaku using Magnet Release.

While the demon is said to be a tailed beast, it is actually much weaker than the nine tailed beasts.

It's perfectly normal for Natsuki to defeat him using Blood Demon Art: Ice Crystal and Magnet Release.

Of course, he had considered revealing his Magnet Release in front of Nawaki and Yakushi Nonou.

Nearly four years have passed since the Second Shinobi World War.

During this period, he kept creating and modifying ninjutsu, and even revealed two space-time ninjutsu techniques: Unlimited Blade Works and Unlimited Castle.

To be fair, space-time ninjutsu is more difficult than many bloodline limits.

If Natsuki were to unleash Magnet Release at this moment, it would be acceptable to Nawaki and the others.

Moreover, his Magnet Release is different from that of the Third and Fourth Kazekage, allowing him to distance himself from them.

The Third Kazekage used Magnet Release: Iron Sand, and the Fourth Kazekage used Magnet Release: Gold Sand.

Although his Magnet Release technique can also manipulate iron sand, judging from its manifestations, it would be more appropriate to call it Magnet Release: Electricity.

The combination of Magnet Release and Lightning Release was so powerful that even the two Kazekage wouldn't dare say that Natsuki learned Magnet Release from them.

Of course, most importantly, Xia Mu's current strength, identity, and status are enough to earn the trust of others.

He claimed to be a spy for Sunagakure, but everyone just thought he was joking.

If it's about Blood Demon Art: Ice Crystal, you can use the Blood Pool Clan's blood secret technique as an excuse.

Xia Mu composed himself; he had received all the information.

He has gained a new understanding of the Black Grail.

With a thought, the Black Grail rapidly shrank and eventually disappeared into his forehead.

In the blink of an eye, a black Holy Grail symbol appeared on his forehead.

It's very small, about the same size as the diamond-shaped symbol of Tsunade's Yin Seal.

The use of the Black Grail is similar to that of the Yin Seal.

During battle, the Black Grail is released, and chakra seeps out from it and flows throughout the body.

Xia Mu wiped his forehead, and the symbol of the Black Grail disappeared.

He then activated the Black Grail.

The next second, Xia Mu clenched his fist.

He felt an almost infinite amount of chakra surging from the Black Grail.

From then on, he never lacked chakra again.

Of course, his chakra is still far from that of a tailed beast.

Xia Mu had seen the Nine-Tails, and compared to its chakra, Kui Ryo's chakra was probably less than one-thirtieth of its chakra.

The Nine-Tails he saw was still sealed, its chakra blocked by the seal, so it didn't seem to have as much chakra.

However, compared to ninjas, Natsuki's chakra level is currently among the top three.

The only ninjas taller or at a similar level to him were Madara Uchiha and the two Raikage.

Madara Uchiha needs no introduction; with the Rinnegan and Wood Release, his chakra was second only to Hashirama Senju.

In the original work, when the Fourth Raikage used Lightning Release Chakra Mode, Karin said that his chakra was comparable to that of a tailed beast.

Whether it's an exaggeration or not, it demonstrates that Lightning Release Chakra Mode can increase chakra levels.

In short, both Raikage possessed astonishing chakra.

But Natsuki was already very satisfied.

Especially since its Black Grail hasn't reached its limit yet.

[You have awakened the Kikyo template.]

A line of text suddenly appeared.

Xia Mu was slightly taken aback.

Could it be Kikyo from Inuyasha?

He felt it was most likely her.

Kikyo is a powerful priestess who killed many demons and evil spirits in Inuyasha.

Miroku was also a priestess.

In the context of "Inuyasha", the demon can be considered a powerful monster or evil spirit.

This is probably why the Kikyo template is triggered.

Xia Mu pondered and opened the newly awakened Kikyo template.

[Name: Kikyo]

[Period: The Shikon Jewel Chapter]

[World: Inuyasha. 】

[Unlock condition: Defeat a Yin Release monster with at least Jonin-level strength.]

[Ability 8: Open the Gates of Hell, not yet unlocked.]

[Effect: Opens the gate to the Pure Land.]

[Unlock condition: Learn the Impure World Reincarnation technique.]

Xia Mu was pleasantly surprised after reading it.

The Kikyo template was much stronger than he had expected.

Ability 1: Resurrection.

Undoubtedly god-level ability.

In the ninja world, ninjutsu with resurrection effects always comes at a great cost.

For example, Nagato's Outer Path: Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique and Chiyo's Forbidden Technique: Self-Rebirth Reincarnation both require the user to pay the price with their life.

The ability to be resurrected from the dead requires no price.

He will be resurrected immediately after he dies.

The only downside is that his body will turn into clay.

How so?

In Inuyasha, the clay body looks no different from a normal human body.

Moreover, it has no pain, does not age, and does not need to eat or breathe.

For many people, a clay body is better.

Xia Mu, on the other hand, does not want to lose her desires and needs.

In this life, eating, drinking, and having fun are the most important things.

But as a means of survival, it is indeed quite good.

In addition, it also has the ability to summon dead soul worms.

The term "dead soul insect" refers to a type of monster that can collect the souls of the dead to sustain the life of a clay body.

Ability Two: Demon-Slaying Arrow.

The Arrow of Exorcism is undoubtedly Kikyo's signature ability.

In Inuyasha, the Sacred Arrow possesses holy properties and is lethal to various demons and evil spirits.

At the same time, it also has the effect of breaking through barriers.

These two effects were also retained after the system was localized.

Breaking through barriers is very useful in war.

In normal battles, there is no need to use barriers or break through them.

In Xia Mu's opinion, the most surprising result was the last one.

It has special abilities against non-humans.

The first thing Xia Mu thought of was the tailed beasts.

Tailed beasts are undoubtedly non-human.

Secondly, there are summoned beasts.

With Natsuki's strength, summoned beasts would have little chance of posing a threat to him, but tailed beasts could.

With this anti-demon arrow, we now have a decent means of dealing with tailed beasts.

As for the specific effects of this special attack, we'll have to wait until he unlocks the Demon-Slaying Arrow to find out.

Its unlock condition is to kill five Jonin from a distance.

Killing five Jonin is not difficult, but shooting them from a distance is troublesome.

Because the Jonin's speed is too fast.

His clairvoyance range is four kilometers.

Four kilometers is a distance that passes in the blink of an eye for many Jonin.

Unless the first arrow must cause damage.

If the first arrow is dodged, there is a high probability that the target will either get close or escape.

Either way, it means the unlocking conditions are not met.

Xia Mu touched his chin.

The best approach is still a surprise attack.

Ability 3: Sealing Arrow.

The Sealed Arrow, as the name suggests, is an arrow that comes with a seal.

In Inuyasha, Kikyo used a sealing arrow to seal Inuyasha because she did not want to kill him.

The effectiveness of the sealing arrow depends on the power used by the user.

Kikyo used all her strength to seal Inuyasha, putting him into a deep sleep.

If it weren't for Kagome, he probably would never have escaped.

Therefore, if Xia Mu were to exert all his strength, he might be able to permanently seal away a Kage-level powerhouse.

Of course, this is on the premise that the target is hit and no one else helps to unblock it.

Its unlock condition is learning five sealing techniques.

Natsuki possesses the Seven Elements talent model of Kakashi Hatake, which is difficult but can be learned.

After all, in the original work, Kakashi Hatake used a sealing technique called the Evil Sealing Seal.

Fourth ability: Defensive barrier.

Although the name is rather hasty, the effect is not bad.

In Inuyasha, only Kagome, who shares the same soul, can break through the defensive barrier set up by Kikyo.

In the ninja world, it would be at least an A-rank or S-rank barrier.

This is also evidenced by its unlocking conditions.

The Four Red Yang Formation is an A-level barrier.

This formation requires four Kage-level figures to simultaneously release chakra from four directions, forming a rectangular barrier composed of red flames.

In the original work, it has two battle records.

One of them was executed by Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Minato Namikaze, which blocked the Ten-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball.

Another one was executed by Kushina Uzumaki, Tsunade, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Minato Namikaze, which blocked the True Planetary Devastation.

The Four Red Yang Formation is not easy to learn; in fact, most ninjas are not even qualified to learn it.

Fortunately, as a ninja from the Hokage lineage, Natsuki was able to learn the Four Red Yang Formation.

Ability 5: Hidden Barrier.

It's a rather casual name, but that's the name used in "Inuyasha".

Its effect is equally incredible; it hides the entire area.

In the ninja world, there are also hidden types of ninjutsu, but the vast majority of them are used by hidden users.

Large-scale concealment ninjutsu is extremely rare.

This ability will undoubtedly play a significant role in war.

Its unlock condition is to defeat five Jonin with sensory perception.

There are fewer sensory jonin compared to combat jonin, but more than medical jonin.

If you look around, you can still find five.

Ability Six: Dimensional Seal.

In terms of effect, Natsuki felt that it was very similar to the Swallow Return template of Sasaki Kojiro, as both involved different spaces.

But the former is a seal, while the latter is an attack.

In the ninja world, this could be called a space-time sealing technique.

Sealing the target in different timelines within the same dimension means that, apart from the user, only a very few ninjas can discover the target.

For example, Minato Namikaze and Obito Uchiha both possessed space-time ninjutsu.

Its unlock condition is learning a space-time ninjutsu.

When Xia Mu saw the first half of the sentence, he was already prepared to give up. With his talent, learning a space-time ninjutsu was simply impossible.

Fortunately, developing the new ability of the Door-Door Fruit also counts.

After Xia Mu unlocks the Door-Door Fruit, we'll then study how to unlock this dimensional seal.

Ability Seven: Priestess Purification Technique.

Xia Mu's first impression after reading it was that it was an ability to dispel illusions.

The premise is that the last effect is not added.

With the addition of one last effect—specifically, a special attack against Yin-style monsters—the value of this ability is further enhanced.

Unfortunately, there are too few Yin Release monsters in the ninja world.

The demon he just defeated counts as half a demon.

After thinking for a long time, Xia Mu finally thought of Zero-Tail and Wu as the other Yin-style monsters.

Zero-Tails is a Yin Release monster created by Shennong of the Hidden Void Village. Its power comes from the darkness in people's hearts.

Wu is a Yin Release monster that appears after making a wish at the Box of Bliss in Kusagakure.

Xia Mu suddenly thought of a question.

Does Susanoo count?

It is indeed a Yin-style escape technique, but it is not a monster.

Xia Mu shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

Its unlock condition is to kill a Yin Release monster with at least Jonin strength.

Both Zero Tail and Enlightenment fit the criteria.

Ability 8: Open the gates of hell.

Xia Mu's first reaction was that it was defying the heavens.

It can actually open the Pure Land.

In Inuyasha, hell is hell.

In the ninja world, hell is a pure land.

Pure Land is the place where the souls of people in the ninja world go after they die.

But there is a problem.

After the Sage of Six Paths died, he became the administrator of the Pure Land.

In the original work, he also summoned the Kage of past generations from the Pure Land to help Naruto and his friends.

In other words, if Xia Mu were to open the gate to the Pure Land, the Sage of Six Paths would definitely notice.

With his current strength, he is not yet able to contend with the Sage of Six Paths.

Its unlock condition is learning the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

Impure World Reincarnation, needless to say, is a forbidden technique that has affected the entire ninja world.

Its effect is to summon the souls of long-dead ninjas from the Pure Land back to the human world and revive them in physical form.

A portion of the soul's body and a human being are required as a sacrifice.

In the original work, Kabuto Yakushi used a modified version of the Impure World Reincarnation to summon a large number of dead people in order to fight against the Allied Shinobi Forces of 80,000.

The Impure World Reincarnation is a forbidden technique created by the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju.

Given Xia Mu's current status and identity, it's still something he can learn from.

Learning the Four Red Yang Formation is only a matter of time.

Xia Mu snapped out of his daze and shaved his head in front of Rope Tree and the others.

"You—how did you kill the demon?"

Maitreya couldn't help but ask.

"secret."

Xia Mu chuckled and said.

The Black Grail is indeed his greatest secret.

When I was using it, I deliberately kept it hidden from Miroku and the others so they wouldn't see the Black Grail.

Maitreya was speechless.

"You kept this from us for so long!"

Nawaki patted him on the shoulder and asked, "Where did you get so many terrifying ninjutsu?"

"Original creation."

Xia Mu spread his hands and said, "It's not that I want to hide it from you, it's just that there isn't a suitable target to showcase it to."

Rope Tree couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

That was a perfect display of swagger, I'd give it a perfect score.

But—it's truly enviable.

If he had that kind of talent, he could definitely recreate the fame of his great-grandfather, Hashirama Senju.

"The demon is dead. Let's return to the Temple of the Witch Goddess."

After Xia Mu finished speaking, he picked up Maitreya again.

The group returned the way they came.

Xia Mu and the others have completed their mission and could return to Konoha Village, but they are still missing a certificate.

A certificate issued by Miroku, the priestess of the Land of Demons.

In addition, Natsuki also planned to have her give Konoha Village more missions in the future.

This is a reasonable request and has nothing to do with controlling the Land of Demons.

Xia Mu mainly wanted to use this achievement to get a promotion.

After returning to the Temple of the Witch Goddess in the Land of Demons, Miroku dismissed everyone else, leaving only Natsuki behind.

The two looked at each other and fell silent.

"You destroyed the demons, and now I keep my promise and accept your blood."

Maitreya took a deep breath and said.

After witnessing Xia Mu's strength, she realized one thing: he was certain he hadn't lied before.

Whether she is there or not, it wouldn't be difficult for him to control the Land of Demons.

Since that's the case, Maitreya had no choice but to believe him and hope that he would keep his promise.

Xia Mu stretched out her hand, and a drop of blood flew into her forehead.

Then, Maitreya's panel appeared before his eyes.

Name: Maitreya.

[Race: Human, Oni.]

[Ability 1: Half-Demon Transformation, Not Yet Unlocked.]

[Effect: Half-human, half-ghost, increases attack, speed, and regeneration.]

[Unlock condition: Self-discovery.]

[Ability 2: Complete demon transformation, not yet unlocked.]

[Effect: Completely transforms into a ghost, further increasing attack, speed, and regeneration abilities, but also increasing resource consumption.]

[Unlock condition: Self-discovery.]

[Ability 3: Blood Demon Art - Summoning, not yet unlocked.]

[Effect: Summons otherworldly monsters using blood as a medium.]

[Unlock condition: Self-discovery.]

His first and second abilities are not much different from those of Yahiko, Konan, and others.

The biggest difference is in ability three, Blood Demon Art: Summoning.

Xia Mu stroked his chin, thinking of the Upper Moon Gyokuko from the Twelve Demon Moons in "Demon Slayer".

His Blood Demon Art involves summoning various aquatic creatures.

The term "魍魉" refers to a demon from another world.

Does the Blood Demon Art: Summoning summon various monsters from the world it inhabits?

Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense.

The power of the priestess and the demons share the same origin, both coming from a foreign land.

The only problem is that we don't know how strong these monsters are.
