Naruto: Fusion of Multiverse Character Templates

Chapter 166: Plotting with Yekura, Kakashi and Obito Enroll (Third and Fourth Updates)

A drop of blood flew into his forehead.

Hiruko quickly realized what had happened.

He was transformed into a demon and was controlled by Natsuki.

The worst part is that he can't even talk about his situation.

For a moment, he felt utterly hopeless.

Before Xia Mu arrived, he had envisioned a future where, after successfully mastering the Demon Sprout Technique, he would gather all five bloodline limits and become invincible in the ninja world.

But who knew that his fantasy would vanish in an instant, and now he was no longer in control of his own life or death.

"Let me see your Ghost Sprout Technique."

Xia Mu spoke up.

Although Hiruko was unwilling, he dared not disobey under the effect of the blood curse and had no choice but to take out a ninjutsu scroll and hand it to him.

After reading it, Xia Mu thought to himself, "Just as I expected."

Hiruko's Oni-Garara Technique is not yet complete; it is currently in the introductory stage.

Currently, only the fusion of summoning beasts is possible; the fusion of bloodline limits is not possible.

Xia Mu fell into deep thought.

In terms of effectiveness, the Oni-Garra technique has immense potential.

After all, it can fuse five bloodline limits.

However, the performance was actually worse than expected.

In the original work, Hiruko, who fused four bloodline limits, seemed to be only at the level of a Jonin.

Perhaps the main reason is that he's too bad at the game.

Different techniques can produce different effects in the hands of different ninjas.

For example, the Eight Gates Formation.

The power of Might Guy's Eight Gates and Might Dai's Eight Gates are worlds apart.

Shennong of Kongyin Village also knows the Eight Gates Formation.

He was even more unbearable to look at, completely disgracing the Eight Gates Formation, a martial art.

After thinking for a moment, Xia Mu decided to start by fusing with the summoned beasts.

After all, he had promised Honoka and the others.

As for the fusion of bloodline limits, let Hiruko continue her research.

Anyway, the Akatsuki organization has money now.

After giving Hiruko's three subordinates some basic treatment, Natsuki used the Door-Door Fruit.

The other end of the Door-Door Fruit connects to the Snow Village in the Land of Snow.

"Go in."

Xia Mu spoke up.

Hiruko and the other three exchanged glances and stepped into the spatial portal.

Xia Mu then went inside.

When they came out, Hiruko and the other three immediately showed expressions of shock.

Because they came to the snow country, a land of ice and snow.

Xia Mu led them into Snow Hidden Village.

Their appearance immediately attracted the attention of the Snow Village ninjas.

Wolf Fang Avalanche arrived quickly.

"Take them to see Honoka."

Xia Mu gave the instructions.

"Yes, Natsuki-sama."

Wolf Fang Avalanche responded immediately.

Xia Mu did not linger and turned to leave.

He only used the Door-Door Fruit after leaving Snow Village.

After thinking for a moment, he arrived at the metropolis of the Rain Kingdom.

To his surprise, the courtyard was empty; Yahiko, Konan, Nagato, and the Ice Maiden were all gone.

Natsuki raised an eyebrow and went to find Kakuzu.

"Yahiko and the others went to the Land of Grass."

Upon seeing him, Kakuzu said, "Before they left, they asked me to tell you this."

How's our rainwater business doing right now?

Xia Mu wasn't surprised to hear this, and changed the subject.

"very nice."

A rare smile appeared on Kakuzu's face. "It's enough to make a fortune every day."

"You seem so happy, it must be true."

Xia Mu couldn't help but smile and said.

"I never cheat people when it comes to money."

Kakuzu's smile faded, and he spoke seriously.

"I trust your financial integrity."

Natsuki nodded and asked, "How is Yekura doing?"

"Neither good nor bad. She is currently only in charge of Sunagakure and one-third of the Land of Wind."

Kakuzu replied, "The remaining areas of the Land of Wind have been entrusted to Rasa and Reki."

"The Third Kazekage is truly ruthless."

"Xia Mu sighed."

"As long as it doesn't affect our ability to make money, it's fine."

Kakuzu said indifferently.

"I want Rasa and Gravel to make their move against Yekura."

Xia Mu changed the subject and asked, "Do you have a way?"

"You want to incite internal strife in Sunagakure?"

Kakuzu subconsciously narrowed his eyes, only then remembering that Natsuki was a ninja from Konoha Village.

Although Konoha and Sunagakure have formed an alliance, they are still enemies in essence.

"no."

Xia Mu didn't hide anything and directly stated his purpose: "I want Ye Cang to side with us."

"Is that so?"

Kakuzu fell into thought and said, "There is a way, which is to hinder Rasa and Reki's business."

"How does it work?"

Natsuki asked curiously, "Neither Sunagakure nor the Land of Wind has any reason not to buy our rainwater resources."

"Rainwater resources are very profitable, and because the profits are so high, other businessmen have taken notice."

Kakuzu explained, "Especially now that there are many bounties on the black market for our rainwater resources."

"What's the bounty?"

Xia Mu became interested.

He really didn't care much about the underground black market.

Unlike Kakuzu, he made his living through the underground black market.

Although he has now joined the Akatsuki organization, he still pays close attention to the underground black market.

Moreover, the underground black market can indeed play a significant role in many situations, such as intelligence gathering.

"There are all sorts of them, but the most important thing is the location of the transportation pipelines."

Kakuzu paused for a moment, then said, "Besides that, quite a few people have directly approached the daimyo of the Land of Rain, but they have all been refused."

"You want to spread the word about the locations of the transport pipelines that Luo Sha and Li are in charge of?"

Xia Mu quickly understood and said, "This is indeed a good idea."

"Not many people know the location of the transport pipeline. Apart from the Daimyo of the Land of Rain, it is Yekura, who is in charge of the whole."

Kakuzu said calmly, "Rasa and Reki will definitely suspect her. If this happens a few more times, they will definitely lose their temper and resort to violence."

"Then I'll leave it to you to do."

Xia Mu nodded and said, "If Ye Cang is attacked, you should crush the eyeball clone I left you."

"The only problem is that our business will be affected."

Kakuzu sighed with a pang of sympathy.

"The land of rain has no shortage of rainwater, so wasting some is no big deal."

"6

Xia Mu just found it funny.

Kakuzu really is a money-grubber.

Fortunately, he didn't establish the Akatsuki organization; otherwise, he definitely wouldn't have done this.

"There's one more thing. Some merchants are planning to imitate us and import river water from the land of rivers."

Kakuzu suddenly remembered something and said.

"The Land of Rivers has many rivers and mountains. Although its water resources are not as abundant as those of the Land of Rain, they are still plentiful."

Xia Mu chuckled and said.

"And they can sell it for an even lower price."

Kakuzu continued.

"It's actually very easy to solve."

Xia Mu said nonchalantly, "Let's solve this using ninja methods and control the daimyo of the Land of Rivers."

"Just like you."

Upon hearing this, Kakuzu spoke.

"That's all for now, see you next time."

After finishing their conversation, Xia Mu turned and left.

They found a secluded spot and used the Door-Door Fruit to return to Konoha Village.

Now we just need to wait for Kakuzu's actions and news about Yahiko and the other three.

Two months later, the Ninja Academy reopened.

Natsuki arrived at the Ninja Academy early in the morning with two ANBU squads.

the reason is simple.

Conduct site visits and make arrangements in advance to eliminate any unsafe factors.

This was all so that Hiruzen Sarutobi could give his speech at the entrance ceremony.

Xia Mu was the captain of the fourth squad before, so this was not his responsibility.

But now he's the captain of the secret service, so this is part of his job.

Although he didn't think that Hiruzen Sarutobi could encounter any danger with his strength.

If someone were to come and assassinate Hiruzen Sarutobi, it would be the Anbu who would be in danger.

That being said, the work still needs to be done.

Moreover, this school opening day is different from the past. Even if he is not the captain of the Dark Division, he will still come to join in the fun.

Standing on the rooftop, Xia Mu activated his all-seeing eye, taking in the entire situation of the school.

Although the enrollment ceremony is still a long way off, many parents have already brought their children to school.

Xia Mu soon spotted a familiar figure: Hatake Sakumo.

"Kakashi, what are your goals after enrolling?"

Sakumo Hatake looked down at his son, Kakashi Hatake.

"Graduate as quickly as possible."

Kakashi Hatake thought for a moment and then said.

Why?

Sakumo Hatake countered with a question.

"I want to become a ninja like you as soon as possible."

Kakashi Hatake replied.

"Being a ninja isn't as wonderful as you imagine."

Sakumo Hatake patted his head and said, "You're still young, you can enjoy life at the ninja academy."

"I----"

Kakashi Hatake was about to say something when he was interrupted.

Might Guy and Might Guy, dressed in green bodysuits, rushed into the ninja academy shouting youthful slogans.

Kakashi Hatake, observing their strange behavior, couldn't help but feel puzzled.

How could someone like that become a ninja?

"Don't underestimate them."

Sakumo Hatake said with a smile, "They are taijutsu masters who have mastered the Eight Gates."

Because of Natsuki's butterfly effect, Might Day gained considerable fame ahead of time due to his mastery of the Eight Gates.

"What kind of taijutsu is the Eight Gates Formation?"

Kakashi Hatake asked curiously.

"It's an S-rank forbidden technique."

Sakumo Hatake paused for a moment, then said, "That child will definitely become a formidable enemy of yours in the future."

"S-rank?"

Kakashi Hatake nodded, but remained confident, saying, "I'm not someone you can easily surpass."

Just then, Sakumo Hatake subconsciously turned his head.

Hiruzen Sarutobi and Asuma Sarutobi walked over from not far away.

"Lord Hokage."

Sakumo Hatake quickly went to greet him.

"Long time no see, Sakumo."

Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at Kakashi Hatake and said, "It seems Kakashi will become classmates with Asuma."

Of course, this was not a coincidence; it was a deliberate arrangement on his part.

Sarutobi Asuma is actually one year older than Hatake Kakashi.

He was six years old, and Kakashi Hatake was five years old.

In an era when war could break out at any time, the start date for school enrollment wasn't so strictly enforced, and many children started school at the age of five.

For example, Kakashi Hatake, Obito Uchiha, and Rin Nohara.

As the Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi cared about the bonds between the children.

Putting these geniuses in the same class can create a strong bond between them.

After exchanging pleasantries, they headed towards Class A of Grade 1.

Sarutobi Asuma also took the initiative to greet Hatake Kakashi.

The current Kakashi Hatake is not the heartless and love-suppressing character from the original work. Although he is not very outgoing, he can have normal conversations.

Xia Mu withdrew his gaze.

Time passed slowly, and soon it was nine o'clock.

All the teachers and students lined up in order in the ninja school's plaza.

Then, Hiruzen Sarutobi appeared.

The teachers and students immediately cheered.

As the Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi enjoys immense popularity in Konoha Village.

This is especially true among children.

This is evident from the fact that nine out of ten children dream of becoming Hokage.

Standing on the rooftop, Xia Mu yawned.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's speech was incredibly long and tedious, just the same old Will of Fire.

He often heard it when he was at the ninja academy.

Xia Mu touched his chin.

He was thinking about a problem.

So, which three students should he choose when he becomes the team leader?

In the original work, after Kakashi Hatake, Obito Uchiha, and Might Guy graduated, they chose Minato Namikaze as their teacher.

In other words, it's his class.

At that time, he, Minato Namikaze, Nawaki, and even Nono Yakushi will most likely be asked by Hiruzen Sarutobi to choose three students.

Xia Mu shook his head, feeling that there weren't enough outstanding students to go around.

Moreover, there is a rather dangerous Uchiha Obito among them.

Because he will be targeted by Madara Uchiha.

In the original work, he was assigned to Minato Namikaze.

This was actually a decision made by Hiruzen Sarutobi to ease the tension between the Uchiha clan and the Hokage lineage.

In other words, with the butterfly effect added, Natsuki and Nawaki could also become his mentors.

After all, they were both ninjas from the Hokage lineage.

Of course, given Xia Mu's strength and status, he has the freedom to choose.

He had no intention of becoming Obito Uchiha's mentor.

Although Obito Uchiha hadn't turned evil yet, he had already read the original work and couldn't accept him.

If he really had to choose, he would pick Matt Kay first.

The Eight Gates combined with the Six Styles of the Navy and Armament Haki sounds very interesting.

It was noon.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's two-hour speech came to an end.

The entrance ceremony then came to an end.

Xia Mu did not leave immediately.

As the captain of the ANBU, he had to wait for Hiruzen Sarutobi to leave first.

Hiruzen Sarutobi only stepped down from the stage after watching most of the children leave.

Seeing this, Natsuki prepared to return to the Senju clan's residence.

Just then, he stopped and looked towards the school gate.

A little boy wearing goggles rushed into the school gate, his face covered in sweat.

But when he saw the students walking out, he was stunned.

"Oh no! I've even missed the enrollment deadline!"

Obito Uchiha scratched his head, expressing deep regret.

"Are you Obito?"

Just then, a little girl with brown hair walked up to him.

"I—I am."

Obito Uchiha paused for a moment, then asked, "Who are you?"

"My name is Nohara Rin, and I'm your classmate."

Nohara Rin smiled and said, "I've collected your enrollment materials for you."

"Really?"

Obito Uchiha said with a look of surprise and delight, "Thank you!"

Standing on the rooftop, Xia Mu raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself that he hadn't expected to see such a famous scene from the original work.

He raised his hand and opened a spatial portal.

As Xia Mu entered, he returned to the Senju clan's residence.

"You're back?"

When Nawaki saw him, he asked, "How are the freshmen this year?"

"Quite good."

"That's what Xia Mu replied."

"Really?"

Kushina Uzumaki asked curiously, "Is it comparable to our year?"

"It feels about the same."

Xia Mu thought for a moment and then said.

"That amazing?"

Nawaki asked in surprise, "Who are they?"

Xia Mu then selected five key students and introduced them to them.

Asuma Sarutobi, Kakashi Hatake, Kurenai Yuhi, Might Guy, and Shizune.

The first four all had fathers who were quite famous.

The last one is that my uncle is famous.

The silent uncle is Kato Dan.

In the original work, he was Tsunade's boyfriend.

He himself is also a very powerful Jonin who has mastered the S-rank ninjutsu, Spirit Transformation Technique.

Unfortunately, he died in the Second Shinobi World War.

The remaining Obito Uchiha and Rin Nohara had parents who were not well-known.

Although the Uchiha clan is very famous.

"This year's students are indeed of very high quality."

After listening, Rope Tree agreed.

"But I'm absolutely certain no one can surpass Natsuki!"

Kushina Uzumaki shook her little fist and said.

"Nonou!"

Just as Nawaki was about to speak, he saw Yakushi Nonou and quickly greeted her.

"Nonou, what brings you here today?"

Kushina Uzumaki asked, puzzled.

"Today is the first day of school, and many new students will be joining the Medical Ninja Training Class this afternoon."

Pharmacist Nonou explained, "I took a day off from Konoha Hospital to come and help Tsunade-sensei."

"Can I join the medical ninja training class right after enrolling?"

Kushina Uzumaki asked, puzzled.

"Um."

Yakushi Nonou replied, "It was an order from the Hokage."

Natsuki raised an eyebrow, roughly guessing what Hiruzen Sarutobi was planning to do.

As the Hokage, he must know that the current peace in the ninja world is only temporary.

Because Kumogakure did not participate in the Second Shinobi World War.

Given the nature of Kumogakure, it's impossible for things to just stop here; a new Shinobi World War is bound to break out.

The role of medical ninjas in war is beyond doubt.

By allowing new students to enter the medical ninja training class earlier, they can learn medical ninjutsu sooner and play their due role.

To be honest, there's nothing wrong with this approach.

The ninja academy only teaches the Three Body Techniques, which is actually quite time-consuming for many students.

Students who can learn medical ninjutsu are basically considered minor geniuses.

Have any students applied?

Xia Mu snapped out of his daze and asked.

"I don't know yet."

Yakushi Nonou shook her head and said, "The ninja academy's entrance ceremony is in the morning; they won't apply until the afternoon."

"If there are any good students, we can recruit them as assistants."

Xia Mu suggested.

Rin Nohara and Shizune, both students in this cohort, are very talented in medical ninjutsu.

Being a student of Pharmacist Nonou is more than enough.

Moreover, if you become her student, you can join other teams after graduation.

That's what she is.

Tsunade's student went to Orochimaru's ninja squad.

"I will be careful."

After a slight pause, Yakushi Nonou nodded and said.

"Just now, Xia Mu said that there are many geniuses in this year's class, and there must be one that suits you."

Kushina Uzumaki said with a smile.

"Perhaps one of my students will be among them."

Nawaki immediately replied, "By the time they graduate, I'll be old enough to take on students."
