Naruto: Fusion of Multiverse Character Templates

Chapter 198 Evening Gown Ye Cang, Fourth Kazekage's Promise (Third and Fourth Updates)

Konoha Village Anbu Base.

Xia Mu looked at the intelligence report in his hand and couldn't help but smile.

The Seven Warlords of the Sea have finally been established, and they have even gained the recognition of the Daimyo of the Land of Water.

However, he has not yet unlocked the fourth ability of the Senji Village template: the Sword of No Yuan.

Xia Mu guessed that it was because the Seven Warlords of the Sea were currently just empty shells.

Once everyone is present, it will unlock automatically.

In addition to information about the metropolis of the Land of Water, there is also information about Kirigakure (Hidden Mist Village).

With the order issued by the Daimyo of the Land of Water, Kirigakure has shifted its focus to the war against Kumogakure.

This might lead to the full-scale outbreak of the Third Shinobi World War ahead of schedule.

However, Kirigakure is no match for Kumogakure.

If the Hidden Cloud Village were to invade the Land of Water, it would also affect the Seven Warlords of the Sea that he established.

But that's all in the future.

For Xia Mu, the most urgent task is to unlock his character template.

He thought of the last two swords of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist: the Exploding Blade: Frozen Blade and the Twin Blades: Hiramekarei.

Since Kirigakure has given up on dealing with the Kuja Pirates, these two members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist will no longer appear in the Land of Water's metropolis.

However, they will most likely appear in the war with Kumogakure.

After all, they are the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

The battlefield was in utter chaos.

Once they appear, Natsuki can disguise himself as a Kumogakure ninja and kill them to obtain the Exploding Blade: Frozen Blade and the Twin Blades: Hiramekarei.

Once he unlocks the Senji Village template for Flame, he will be able to forge seven special ninja tools.

Xia Mu snapped out of his daze and opened his system again.

There aren't many character templates left that haven't been unlocked.

Xia Mu glanced at it, his gaze settling on the Excalibur template of Artoria.

Its unlock condition is to rebuild a country.

The country that Natsuki rebuilt was naturally the Land of Rain.

The Land of Rain can now be described as reborn.

But why hasn't it been unlocked yet?

Is it because the reconstruction is not yet complete?

Thinking of this, Xia Mu picked up his pen.

He had some knowledge of the country's development.

It boils down to economics and military matters.

In terms of military affairs, we can ignore Amegakure and Akatsuki.

That leaves us with economic issues.

Economic issues can be divided into national economics and individual economics.

The economy of the Land of Rain is now quite good.

The main businesses are rainwater and hydroelectricity.

However, personal finances are somewhat insufficient.

The simplest way to improve personal finances is to provide employment opportunities.

Xia Mu's idea was to expand his rainwater and hydropower businesses while introducing new businesses.

For example, road construction, mining, and agriculture.

In addition, as personal finances improve, living standards must also keep pace.

For example, education, entertainment, and elderly care.

After finishing writing, Xia Mu arrived at the metropolis of the Land of Rain.

Kakuzu is currently the de facto head of the Rain Country Metropolis.

The daimyo of the Land of Rain has become a puppet.

"Kakuzu".

Xia Mu handed him the scroll he had written on, saying, "You and Daimyo go and do what's on it."

Kakuzu opened the scroll and took a look, then immediately gave a strange expression.

What's going on?

Is Natsuki having a great act of kindness, preparing to develop the Land of Rain to make the lives of its residents better?

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

After reviewing the documents, Kakuzu asked, "How about canceling some of the items?"

In his view, building roads and schools is all a waste.

He could understand building a ninja academy.

But why build a school for non-ninjas?

"Just do as I say."

Xia Mu shook his head and said, "These projects may seem expensive, but they will be useful in the future."

Kakuzu hesitated for a moment, then finally agreed.

After all, Xia Mu is the boss.

Moreover, they've already made enough money from the rainwater and hydropower businesses, so wasting a little bit won't matter.

Xia Mu opened a spatial portal and arrived at the office of the leader of Amegakure.

"Ms. Natsuki!"

When Yahiko saw him, he quickly greeted him.

"This is my plan for the future development of the Rain Kingdom."

Natsuki handed him the same scroll and said, "I've already given it to Kakuzu to make."

Yahiko opened the scroll with a look of curiosity.

After watching for a while, a look of bewilderment appeared on his face.

He has always been searching for a path to peace.

However, limited by his limited perspective and knowledge, he did not know what to do.

At most, he can learn how other ninjas do things.

The more you learn, the more confused you become.

The most famous ninja who wanted to bring peace to the ninja world was none other than Hashirama Senju, the god of ninja.

He made many efforts, such as distributing the tailed beasts and establishing the one-country-one-village system.

But it still didn't do much good.

The ninja world remains in a state of war, with many countries and ninja villages impoverished year after year due to the conflict.

Seeing Xia Mu's scroll now, he felt a sense of sudden enlightenment.

Perhaps the path to peace lies within it.

"Teacher Natsuki."

After reading it, Yahiko took a deep breath and asked, "What does our Amegakure need to do?"

"Economic development requires a stable environment."

Natsuki replied, "The unstable elements in the Land of Rain, such as wandering ninjas, mountain bandits, and robbers, should all be dealt with."

"I'll have Nagato do this tomorrow."

Yahiko replied immediately.

"Besides that, there's another thing: we need to get ninjas skilled in Earth Release to help with road construction and mining."

Natsuki cautioned, "Ninjas shouldn't be used only for combat."

Road construction and mining would be very slow if done by ordinary people.

But for a ninja, it's something that can be easily handled with a few Earth Release ninjutsu.

"I'll make the arrangements."

Yahiko nodded thoughtfully and said.

"I look forward to your performance."

Xia Mu chuckled and said, "I'm leaving now. See you next time."

He opened a portal and stepped inside.

The next second, he arrived at the home of Yokura in Sunagakure.

Because it was during working hours, Yekura was not there.

While waiting, Xia Mu suddenly remembered that she had told her before that she would buy some clothes for her.

He then used his perfect mimicry to transform into an ordinary young man and went out onto the street.

It was noon.

Ye Cang finished work and went home.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw Xia Mu.

Ye Cang paused slightly, thinking of the meeting that morning.

That is, Kirigakure suffered heavy losses in the metropolis of the Land of Water, and another member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist died.

With the addition of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist who died earlier, only two members of the original Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist are left.

Jonin are already few in number, let alone five elite Jonin.

Now, having to go to war with Kumogakure is like adding insult to injury.

Although everyone believed that it was the work of the Hidden Cloud Village, Yekura knew that the real culprit was Natsuki.

She also learned about another side of Natsuki, which was that he wasn't like a ninja.

True ninjas would never lay a hand on a daimyo.

"Natsuki."

Ye Cang closed the door, stepped forward, and asked, "What do you want?"

"Change your clothes before we start talking business."

Xia Mu took out a set of clothes and said, "I bought this for you."

Yecang glanced at the clothes and realized it was a formal dress.

Who wears a formal dress at home for no reason?

But since Xia Mu wanted to see it, she couldn't refuse.

She took the dress and went into her room.

Xia Mu sat on the sofa and waited.

Not long after, Yekura reappeared.

His eyes lit up.

Yekura had already changed into a black dress.

The dress was very form-fitting, making her waist look incredibly slender.

But the most striking features are her exposed snow-white shoulders, collarbone, and overall silhouette.

"Turn around."

Xia Mu spoke up.

Ye Cang did as instructed without changing his expression.

The hem of her skirt rolled up slightly, revealing black stockings and high heels underneath.

But Xia Mu's gaze fell on that smooth, completely naked back.

This is a low-cut, backless dress.

"It suits you perfectly."

Xia Mu praised.

"Not suitable for ninjas."

Ye Cang said calmly.

"Going home means I can temporarily stop being a ninja."

Xia Mu chuckled and said.

"Can we get down to business now?"

Ye Cang walked to the opposite side of him and sat down on the sofa.

"I've come here today to ask you to do two things."

Xia Mu nodded slightly and said.

Because of his height, he could clearly see the fair neckline.

Do you know Loulan?

Xia Mu didn't hold back at all, staring intently at her.

"Know."

Yekura replied, "It is a small country deep in the desert of the Land of Wind."

"Please help me investigate the current situation in Loulan."

Xia Mu gave the instructions.

The storyline involving Loulan involves dragon veins.

The term "dragon vein" refers to the dragon veins that lie on the earth, hiding a vast amount of chakra.

In the original work, the main characters of this storyline are Minato Namikaze and Naruto Uzumaki.

The young Minato Namikaze, accompanied by the teenage Kakashi Hatake, set off for Loulan on a mission.

But they encountered Yamato, Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno, and others who had traveled from the future.

Together, they defeated An Lushan, the great villain who threatened Loulan.

After it ended, both parties erased each other's memories.

Naruto and the others also returned to the future.

Xia Mu wasn't interested in time travel.

He has already traveled through time once, and is living a pretty good life now, so there's no need for him to change anything.

Furthermore, because of his butterfly effect, Yamato no longer exists, and it's hard to say whether Naruto Uzumaki will even be around.

Even if Naruto Uzumaki is still there, he is not the same Naruto from the original work.

In other words, the scenario of them traveling from the future to the present is highly unlikely to happen.

Xia Mu's goal was naturally the chakra contained within the dragon vein.

The Third Shinobi World War is just around the corner, and he needs to replenish the Black Grail with enough chakra.

"You want the dragon vein?"

Ye Cang pondered for a moment and then asked.

"You know about dragon veins?"

Xia Mu smiled, not surprised at all.

Because the main villain of Loulan, An Lushan, was a ninja from Sunagakure named Centipede.

After obtaining information about the Dragon Vein from Sunagakure, he chose to defect and successfully found the Dragon Vein and traveled through it.

"I heard that the Third Kazekage went to Loulan, but returned empty-handed."

Ye Cang speculated, "Most likely it's because he can't use the Dragon Vein."

"I see."

Xia Mu suddenly realized.

He found it strange in his previous life.

With the strength of Sunagakure, dealing with the Loulan Kingdom would not be difficult.

However, in the original work, Sunagakure didn't get involved, but Konoha, which was thousands of miles away, went to the Land of Wind to take care of the matter.

"Even the Third Kazekage couldn't use the Dragon Vein. Do you have a way?"

Ye Cang asked curiously.

"secret."

Xia Mu paused for a moment, then said, "I'll tell you when you're truly mine."

Yekura's body stiffened involuntarily.

She looked away and instinctively crossed her legs.

Two long, black-stockinged legs crossed, their high heels swaying slightly in the air.

"Don't panic."

Xia Mu said bluntly, "It's only a matter of time."

"What's the second thing?"

Ye Cang was silent for a moment, then asked.

"Keep an eye on the Third Kazekage's movements. Notify me if he intends to leave Sunagakure."

Xia Mu admired her beautiful legs in black stockings and said.

"What are you going to do?"

Ye Cang's gaze sharpened, and he subconsciously asked.

"I'll help you become the Fourth Kazekage."

Xia Mu smiled and asked, "Isn't this what you wanted?"

"He's the Third Kazekage. Are you really confident you can take him down?"

Ye Cang suppressed the pounding in his heart and asked.

"nature."

Xia Mu said confidently, "You'll see when the time comes."

"Me too?"

Ye Cang asked in surprise.

"Would you be at ease if you didn't see him die with your own eyes?"

Xia Mu countered with a question.

"Are you trying to make me truly side with you?"

Suddenly, Ye Cang thought of something and asked very calmly.

"That is indeed one of the reasons."

Xia Mu admitted it.

"I am under your blood curse, and I will not betray you."

Ye Cang lowered his legs, slightly bringing them together, and said.

"I know."

Xia Mu spread his hands and said, "Physical depravity does not equate to spiritual depravity."

"You really are a devil."

Ye Cang twitched the corner of his mouth and said.

"Then you've misjudged me. I'm already quite moral."

Xia Mu said in a serious tone, "After all, I can control myself when facing a beauty like you."

Yekura was stunned.

From this perspective, it certainly makes sense.

However, it is also very direct and realistic.

"If I can become the Kazekage, I will agree to your request."

Ye Cang looked at him and spoke slowly.

"Why are you suddenly saying that?"

Xia Mu was somewhat surprised.

"It's nothing."

Ye Cang reached out and brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, saying, "We always have to find a reason to live."

She used to live as a ninja for the sake of Sunagakure.

Now that Sunagakure has betrayed her and she's afflicted with a blood curse, her reason for living has become Natsuki.

Simply put, she has come to terms with reality.

Just as Xia Mu said, this was bound to happen sooner or later.

"You're very smart. It seems I didn't choose the wrong person."

Xia Mu nodded and said, "Don't worry, the future is still bright. If you survive, you'll see a ninja world unlike any other."

Ye Cang stared at him blankly.

For some reason, she always felt that Xia Mu had a kind of confidence that he could do anything.

If Xia Mu knew what she was thinking, he would tell her four words: "I've cheated."

How can I notify you?

Ye Cang composed himself and asked.

"Just crush it."

Xia Mu stretched out his hand and used the Blood Demon Art: Eyeball Clone.

"No wonder you were able to keep track of Kirigakure's movements in real time."

Yecang looked at the waving eyeball clones and said.

"It's not you, it's us."

Xia Mu smiled and said, "Your Blood Demon Art: Void Crying God can most likely achieve a similar effect."

Blood Demon Art: The Crying God can control the flesh and bones of the entire body to create an eyeball clone, which is theoretically possible.

"I'll look into it when I have time."

Yekura thought Blood Demon Art: Eyeball Clone was quite useful.

"You need to be prepared."

Xia Mu stood up and reminded him, "After the Third Kazekage dies, if you want to become the Fourth Kazekage, you'll have to compete with Rasa, Reki, and the others."

"I see."

Ye Cang smiled faintly and said with great confidence.

Because of her rainwater business, she not only made money, but also expanded her network in the Land of Wind and Sunagakure.

More importantly, money can be very attractive.

Most ninjas risk their lives for money, don't they?

If she uses money to pave the way, many ninjas will support her.

"It seems you haven't been idle during this time."

Seeing this, Xia Mu said with satisfaction, "We'll see how you perform then."

After he finished speaking, he opened a portal and stepped inside.

Ye Cang watched the portal disappear before turning his gaze away.

She looked down at her fair skin, and a thought popped into her mind.

Given Xia Mu's status and power, he would never lack women.

The fact that she was chosen shows that she is quite charming.

Yecang shook his head, banishing the strange thought.

She still has a lot to do.

After all, he has to compete with Rasa and Reki for the title of Fourth Kazekage.

Natsuki returned to the Hokage Building in Konoha Village.

He opened the door and went into his office.

Suddenly, a thought struck him, and he felt a soft, elastic sensation on his back.

It was Kushina Uzumaki who hugged him.

"Why are you here?"

Xia Mu asked with a smile.

"I was waiting for you to come back for dinner, but you didn't come back, so I came to your office to find you."

Kushina Uzumaki explained, "Since you're not here, I'll stay and wait for you."

"I'm sorry, something came up and I was delayed."

Xia Mu turned around and hugged her.

His gaze fell on Kushina Uzumaki's fair face and rosy lips.

"I can make it up to you."

Xia Mu blinked and said.

"What compensation?"

Kushina Uzumaki asked curiously.

Xia Mu did not answer.

He pulled Kushina Uzumaki to the desk.

He then made her turn her back to him.

He hugged her from behind.

Kushina Uzumaki realized what he was about to do and blushed.

She turned around and glared at him.

But the look in her eyes, despite her blushing face, was not threatening at all; instead, it had an indescribable allure.

"Kushina."

Xia Mu patted her buttocks.

Kushina Uzumaki gave a soft hum, but did not refuse.

She bent over, gripping the desk with both hands, causing her buttocks to stick out.

At the same time, her legs, encased in black over-the-knee stockings, tensed, and she stood on tiptoe.

Xia Mu wrapped his arms around her waist.

Kushina Uzumaki took a deep breath, her voice soft and alluring.

A beautiful midday has passed.

After lunch, feeling exhausted, Kushina Uzumaki returned to her room and fell into a deep sleep.

August has arrived.

[Congratulations, host, for unlocking the fourth ability of the Senji Village template: Sword Formation Without Elements.]

A line of text that suddenly appeared startled Xia Mu.

This means that the Seven Warlords of the Sea have been officially established.

The Land of Water entered an era of two ninja villages.

Of course, the Seven Warlords of the Sea are no match for the Hidden Mist Village.

Its members are all ninja forces behind the twelve guardian ninjas of the Daimyo of the Land of Water.

Natsuki allowed the three Snake Princesses to control all the Jonin among the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

As for Chunin and Genin, there's no need for that.

Anyway, they will definitely obey the orders of the Jonin.
