Naruto: Fusion of Multiverse Character Templates

Chapter 189 The Muramasa Template (First and Second Updates)

"retreat!"

Suigetsu Hozuki made the right decision in an instant.

Firstly, because Xia Mu has a good reputation and is very powerful.

Secondly, their target was the Kuja Pirates.

Now, the entire Kuja Pirates have vanished into thin air, replaced by Natsuki.

There's something wrong with it no matter how you look at it.

Xia Mu naturally wouldn't let them leave.

He raised his hand.

Binding Path No. 81: Severing the Void!

Just as Suigetsu Hobutsuki and Hibiki Juzo had escaped less than a hundred meters, a protective wall stretching across the sky appeared, blocking their path.

The two men didn't slow down; they picked up the Broken Blade - Decapitation Blade and the Blunt Blade - Helmets and slashed at the enemy.

A piercing sound rang out.

Huge cracks appeared in the protective wall.

Just as the two were about to continue their attack, they felt the temperature around them rise rapidly.

Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!

Three enormous fire dragons roared and flew out.

The air is distorted.

The two men turned around instantly, the flames rushing towards them, and sweat beaded on their foreheads.

At the same time, I was greatly shocked.

Their memories of Natsuki are still stuck in the Second Shinobi World War.

He had not used Fire Release at that time.

Not to mention that it's such a powerful fire jutsu.

A thought flashed through their minds, and the two instantly formed hand seals.

Water Escape·Water Formation Wall!

Two thick walls of water rose up and overlapped in front of them.

Three fire dragons crashed into it, and the first wall of water was instantly evaporated.

However, the three fire dragons had shrunk in size, and a stalemate ensued when they collided with the second wall of water.

The fusion of water and fire immediately produced rising mist.

The two took this opportunity to separate to the left and right.

Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon had a sudden thought and quickly formed a hand seal.

Water Release: Mist Concealment Technique!

In an instant, the mist spread outwards from him.

Seeing this, Juzo Biwa also used the Water Release: Mist Concealment Technique.

The fog spread even faster, and in the blink of an eye it had already enveloped the surrounding area.

Observation Haki!

Electromagnetic wave induction!

Xia Mu's vision was obscured by the fog, and he could only see about one meter.

Fortunately, Observation Haki and electromagnetic wave sensing are not affected by the fog.

The sound of something cutting through the air rang out.

After using Water Release: Mist Concealment Technique, Pipa Juzo immediately threw out the Broken Blade: Headhunter with both hands.

The massive blade flew out with a whoosh, spinning in the air, transforming into a terrifying weapon of mass destruction.

The terrifyingly powerful Broken Blade, the Decapitation Blade, flew out of the mist in an instant and slashed towards Xia Mu.

Iron Block - Shattered!

Xia Mu clenched his fist and punched the huge blade.

The Broken Blade - Decapitation Blade exploded and returned at an even faster speed.

Pipa Juzo's expression changed drastically. He dared not take the hit head-on and quickly dodged.

At the same time, Suigetsu Hozuki had already taken advantage of the fog to sneak up behind Natsuki.

He suddenly swung his right hand and swung the axe out.

Xia Mu turned around.

He grabbed the axe with his right hand.

"What?"

The Watermelon Pufferfish Demon's face showed astonishment.

Whether Xia Mu sensed his location or Xia Mu caught the axe with his bare hands, it all seemed utterly unreasonable to him.

Storm kick!

Xia Mu naturally wouldn't explain to him, and simply kicked him.

Suigetsu Hozuki quickly raised his left hand, using his massive hammer to block the attack.

With a loud bang!

The power of the Tempest Kick Shockwave far exceeded Suigetsu Hozuki's expectations.

He felt a numbness in his left hand and then he stumbled backward.

Binding Spell No. 61: The Six-Staff Light Prison!

Xia Mu loosened his grip on the axe and swung it casually.

Six beams of light descended from the sky, sealing off the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon.

At the critical moment, Pipa Juzo arrived in time to provide assistance.

He gripped the broken, decapitating blade and swung it forcefully.

The massive blade tore through the air and mist, leaving a whistling sound wherever it went.

Xia Mu opened his arms without changing his expression.

Sword of Iron Sand!

The ground trembled, and all the iron filings flew out, forming a wall in front of him.

The broken blade, the decapitation sword, struck it, immediately producing a deafening sound.

"Is this magnetic escape?"

The pupils constrict during the ten stages of loquat harvest.

"run!"

Seeing this, the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon shouted without hesitation.

At the same time, I also felt regret.

I should have run away after using Water Release: Hidden Mist Technique.

However, Juzo Biwa believed that they had the advantage in the fog and could defeat Natsuki.

Furthermore, they were one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, and if they retreated now, they would be unable to explain themselves to the Third Mizukage.

Seeing that he had already launched an attack, Watermelon Pufferfish Demon had no choice but to follow.

But now it seems that not running just now was indeed a big mistake.

Because Natsuki was completely unaffected by the fog, and even suddenly displayed Magnet Release.

Upon hearing what Suigetsu Hobutsuki said, Pipa Juzo quickly retreated.

He transformed into a whirlwind, moving at incredible speed.

At the same time, Suigetsu Hozuki broke through the six beams of light and turned to run away without hesitation.

His astonishing speed made him a blur.

"I am the bone of the sword I wield; this body is formed from the sword, steel for my form, and fire for my blood—"

Xia Mu immediately raised his hands.

Unlimited Blade Works!

Suigetsu Hobutsuki and Hibiki Juzo felt a blur before their eyes, and their surroundings changed.

The two of them instinctively stopped and looked around, immediately revealing expressions of disbelief.

The sky suddenly darkened, and countless gears appeared.

The land was desolate, and swords were stuck everywhere.

"Space-time ninjutsu?"

Suigetsu Hozuki is the captain of the Hidden Mist Village's ANBU, a man of great knowledge and experience, and he blurted out the name without thinking.

"That's troublesome. None of us know space-time ninjutsu. Unless we kill Natsuki, we won't be able to escape."

Upon hearing this, Pipa Juzo's expression immediately darkened, and he said...

Suigetsu Hobutsuki also realized this, and his expression turned quite ugly.

But they were, after all, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, the elite among the elite.

After confirming the situation, he immediately rushed towards Xia Mu.

Xia Mu waved his hand.

Two Thor's swords flew up from the ground.

"Watch out, his sword might explode!"

"That's what the Watermelon Pufferfish Demon reminded me of," said the Watermelon Pufferfish Demon.

After he finished speaking, Pipa Juzo and he made the same choice, using the Body Flicker Technique to dodge.

But the next second, the two of them suddenly stopped.

Twenty Thor's Swords appeared before Xia Mu.

The sound of wind breaking rang out.

Twenty Thor's swords rained down on them like a meteor shower.

Water Escape·Water Formation Wall!

Pipa Shizang quickly formed a hand seal.

A wall of water rose up.

Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!

A giant water dragon appeared in front of the Watermelon Pufferfish Demon and flew out.

Fantasy Collapse!

Xia Mu's mind stirred.

Twenty Thors exploded simultaneously.

Countless fragments, accompanied by lightning, scattered above their heads like fireworks.

The water jets and water walls were immediately smashed and riddled with holes.

The two retreated while parrying with their broken sword, the Executioner's Blade, and their blunt sword, the Helmslayer's Blade.

Xia Mu raised his hand again.

Swords and blades flew up in unison near them.

Boom boom boom!

One explosion after another occurred.

Even though the two are incredibly strong, they would still be overwhelmed by such a dense barrage of attacks.

Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon grunted.

Four pieces of metal were embedded in his arms, and blood was seeping out.

Pipa Juzo relied on the broad blade of his broken sword, the Executioner's Blade, to parry.

But he soon discovered the problem.

Fine cracks appeared on the blade of the Broken Blade - the Decapitation Blade.

If this continues, the knife will break.

"We must fight to the death!"

"Loquat Juzo shouted."

"I'll block these swords and blades, you go and kill Xia Mu!"

Upon hearing this, Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon immediately responded.

He also knew that the only outcome of passively taking a beating was death.

Shadow Clone Technique!

Suigetsu Hozuki formed hand seals and created two shadow clones.

Then the three of them simultaneously formed hand seals.

Water Release: Water Pillar!

Three enormous water spheres fell from the sky and exploded upon hitting the ground.

The spreading water swept in all directions like ocean waves.

The incoming swords and blades paused.

Seizing the opportunity, the ground cracked open, and the powerful force propelled him into the air.

In mid-air, his body struck Xia Mu's head like a cannonball.

The massive broken sword, the decapitation blade, came crashing down.

But at that moment, Juzo Biwa sensed danger.

The sound of something cutting through the air rang out.

He keenly heard three voices, but the problem was that there was nothing in his field of vision.

boom!

Three Thor's swords exploded around him.

Unlike previous explosions, this one was accompanied by strong winds in addition to debris and lightning.

These are three Thunder God swords imbued with the Wind King's Barrier.

Xia Mu was already prepared and was just waiting for the two of them to get close.

The sudden explosion caught Biwa Juzo completely off guard.

He could only instinctively sheathe his sword, trying to use the massive blade to block the explosion.

But the blade can only block one side.

The remaining three sides cannot be blocked.

Pipa Juzo felt a sharp pain as countless fragments, lightning bolts, and raging winds struck him.

Blood splattered everywhere, and his body instantly became a bloody mess.

The next second, he was sent flying and landed on the ground, his fate unknown.

When Sushiyama Fuguki saw this scene, his heart turned cold.

Neither of them could beat Xia Mu, let alone now that he was all alone.

But he didn't have time to think about it anymore.

Xia Mu casually waved his hand.

Countless swords and blades appeared around him.

An even more violent explosion occurred.

Fire, fragments, lightning, and chakra currents engulfed Suigetsu Hobutaki like a tsunami.

Despite his best efforts, it was all in vain.

Blood mist rose.

He was attacked in various ways, and not even his body was left.

Xia Mu nodded slightly.

It must be said that the power of Unlimited Blade Works after obtaining the Black Grail is terrifying.

The vast majority of ninjas who are drawn into Unlimited Blade Works will be killed by him.

Although Suigetsu Hobuki and Biwa Juzo were among the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, they were still within the vast majority of ninjas.

Natsuki only needs to wave his hand to defeat them with projection magic and illusion collapse.

Ultimately, it's because the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist didn't reach the level of true powerhouses.

With a casual wave of his hand, Xia Mu brought the Broken Blade - Executioner's Blade and the Blunt Blade - Helmsman to his front.

These two knives were of little use to him.

He also did not intend to trade with Kirigakure.

But since it's a sword, it can remain within Unlimited Blade Works.

The only thing to note is that Kirigakure has a summoning scroll that can summon these two swords.

Fortunately, Natsuki learned the Contract Seal from Kushina Uzumaki, which allowed him to sever the connection between them and the Summoning Scroll.

[Congratulations, host, for unlocking Kakashi Hatake's template ability two: the first gate of the Eight Inner Gates.]

Xia Mu stared at the line of text that appeared before him, slightly taken aback.

Why was the first gate of the Eight Gates unlocked?

Its unlock condition is to defeat three taijutsu jonin.

Xia Mu touched his chin.

Strictly speaking, Suigetsu Hozuki and Hibiki Juzo can indeed be considered taijutsu jonin.

In the ninja world, taijutsu also includes swordsmanship.

Because the prerequisite for learning swordsmanship is having a sufficiently strong body, swordsmanship, like physical skills, requires close combat.

Without a strong body, you're just going to your death.

But you don't need to learn ninjutsu.

Even if one's physical condition is poor, one can still use ninjutsu.

For example, Nagato and Itachi Uchiha.

Of course, poor health will definitely have some impact.

That's why many people in the past wanted to know just how strong Nagato and Itachi were.

Regardless, unlocking the first gate of the Eight Gates is a good thing.

At this point, all of Kakashi Hatake's abilities have been unlocked.

In terms of abilities, the Mangekyou Sharingan is the most valuable feature of Kakashi Hatake's template.

However, Xia Mu felt that the Seven Escapes talent played a greater role.

Because it helped him learn many ninjutsu and secret techniques.

One ability can unlock a whole bunch of abilities.

Natsuki deactivated Unlimited Blade Works and reappeared on the island.

He didn't have to wait long before the three great snake goddesses descended from the sky.

"Owner."

Tashin Shinki stepped forward and said, "The four ANBU ninja squads from Kirigakure have been dealt with."

Although the four ANBU ninja squads of Kirigakure had more members, they only had two Special Jonin and two Jonin.

Furthermore, in terms of sheer numbers, Ryuchi Cave naturally has far more snakes.

Although the three Snake Princesses are not contractors of Ryuchi Cave, as high-ranking members of Ryuchi Cave, they are still able to summon giant snakes such as Manda.

"Has the body been disposed of?"

Xia Mu nodded and then asked.

In the ninja world, corpses can talk.

Only by destroying the body and eliminating all evidence can he and the three snake queens be kept in the dark.

"It's been eaten by a snake; there's no trace of it."

"That's what Princess Tianxin replied."

"Let's go."

Upon hearing this, Xia Mu said, "Let's go to the Land of the Sea."

He took two steps, then suddenly stopped.

[You have awakened the Senkomura template.]

Xia Mu let out a soft "hmm".

When Muramasa is mentioned, most people's first reaction is the Muramasa demon sword.

Xia Mu was no exception.

The Demon Blade Village is a famous sword from Japan's Sengoku period.

Because it brought misfortune to its owner, the Tokugawa Ieyasu family.

It was crafted by Muramasa Ichimon, a swordsmith from Kuwana in Ise Province.

The Muramasa family has three generations, and the swords they forge are all engraved with the name Muramasa.

Senji Muramasa is the first generation of the Muramasa family.

Xia Mu touched his chin.

His ability to awaken the Senji Muramasa template is clearly related to killing Suigetsu Hobutsuki and Hibiki Juzo.

The only thing these three have in common is the knife.

No, perhaps there is another reason.

Natsuki killed Suigetsu Hozuki and Juzo Biwa using Unlimited Blade Works, a technique based on the Heroic Spirit Emiya.

If he's not mistaken, the model for Senji Muramasa comes from Fate/Grand Order.

Both Fate/Grand Order and Fate/stay night belong to the Type-Moon universe.

In Fate/Grand Order, Senji Village was summoned using Shirou Emiya's body as a vessel.

In other words, he looks exactly like Shirou Emiya.

Thinking of this, Xia Mu immediately looked at the character template he had just obtained.

[Name: Qianzi Muramasa. 】

[Period: Saber-class Servant of Shimousa Province.]

[World: Fate/Grand Order. 】

[Rank: S]

[Ability 1: Sword and blade aesthetics, unlocked.]

[Effect: A single glance at a non-Noble Phantasm ninja tool is enough to master how to fight.]

[Ability 2: Test Item, not yet unlocked.]

[Effect: Unleashes the full power of the ninja tool in hand, even allowing it to unleash its maximum destructive force in an instant.]

[Unlock condition: Forge seven swords with special effects.]

[Ability 3: Flame, not yet unlocked.]

[Effect: To exert all one's strength, even at the cost of burning the flames used to forge ninja tools, the effect is determined by the materials.]

]

[Unlock conditions: Obtain the Longsword - Needle, Explosive Blade - Spray, Thunder Blade - Fang, and Dual Blades - Fresh Flounder.]

[Ability 4: Swordplay without Yuan, not yet unlocked.]

[Effect: After deploying a Reality Marble and creating a wasteland of countless swords, all the swords will shatter like snowflakes, leaving only one sword in hand—a sword capable of severing time, space, and causality.]

[Unlock Conditions: Establish yourself as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, gain the recognition of the Daimyo of the Land of Water without using illusions, and establish yourself in the Land of Water.]

After watching it, Xia Mu had only one feeling: he had made a huge profit.

First ability: aesthetic appreciation of swords and blades.

This ability isn't very useful.

Because there aren't many special ninja tools in the ninja world.

Moreover, this ability is similar to the innate superpower effect of the Enfield template.

Second ability: testing objects.

This ability reminded Xia Mu of the fantasy collapse of the Heroic Spirit Emiya template.

In terms of unleashing maximum power sufficient for self-destruction, they are somewhat similar.

But overall, it's not very useful.

Its unlock condition is to forge seven swords with special effects.

It's clearly related to ability three, Flame.

The effect of Flame can be summarized in four words: crafting ninja tools.

Its unlock condition is obtaining the remaining four ninja swords of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

Xia Mu has already obtained three.

The claim is that they obtained four ninja swords, but in reality, they were required to defeat their wielders.

You can only unlock Ability 2 after unlocking Ability Flame.

This ability is quite good.

Its main purpose is to create ninja tools with special abilities.

Since it possesses special abilities, it's probably similar to the Six Paths Ninja Tools.

Fourth ability: No Yuan Sword Technique.

The reason why Senkomura Masashi was rated as S-rank is obviously because of this ability.

The first three abilities are all insignificant compared to the fourth.

This ability is a different kind of Unlimited Blade Works.

Like Unlimited Blade Works, it can create a Reality Marble.

However, Unlimited Blade Works is a multi-target attack type, involving the control of countless swords.

It is exactly the opposite; countless swords are concentrated in one sword, unleashing earth-shattering power.

Its unlocking ability also proves its power.

Because this requirement is very high.

Not only do they need to establish the Seven Warlords of the Sea, but they also need to gain the recognition of the Daimyo of the Land of Water and establish a foothold there.

The Seven Warlords of the Sea, from the anime/manga series One Piece, refers to seven powerful pirates who are loyal to the World Government.

Simply put, he needs to find seven Jonin as his subordinates.

Actually, this wasn't particularly difficult for Xia Mu.

He could take a shortcut and have Yahiko and the others come over.

The most difficult thing is to gain the approval of the daimyo of the Land of Water and establish a foothold there.

In particular, they cannot use illusion magic to control the daimyo of the Land of Water.

Even with the approval of the Daimyo of the Land of Water, needless to say, Kirigakure was the first to object.

From another perspective, the Seven Warlords of the Sea would become the second ninja village in the Land of Water.
