Naruto: Fusion of Multiverse Character Templates

"Xia Mu, your bento box tastes so good, did you make it yourself?"

Kushina Uzumaki looked surprised and asked instinctively.

When they trained together during the holidays, they ate lunch at the Konoha Hospital cafeteria because the training ground was next to the hospital.

This was the first time she had eaten lunch prepared by Xia Mu himself.

It can only be said that the Shirou Emiya template played a crucial role.

"I did it."

Xia Mu nodded and admitted it.

"Xia Mu is very talented at cooking."

Minato Namikaze chimed in, "He's only been learning for a year, yet his culinary skills are already on par with those of professional chefs who have studied their whole lives."

"This is the best bento I've ever had!"

Kushina Uzumaki praised her without reservation.

Upon hearing this, Minato Namikaze couldn't help but sigh.

He couldn't beat Xia Mu in a fight, and he couldn't even cook as well as him; he was completely defeated.

"You want to learn? I can teach you."

Xia Mu smiled slightly and said.

"OK!"

Kushina Uzumaki happily agreed.

"Can I learn it?"

Minato Namikaze suddenly asked.

"Teaching one is teaching, teaching two is also teaching, so of course you can learn."

Xia Mu did not refuse.

Kushina Uzumaki glanced at Minato Namikaze subconsciously.

She preferred to learn to cook from Xia Mu on her own.

After lunch break, it was time for the afternoon's practical class.

This lesson taught by Yu Ishida is the second of the three body techniques: the transformation technique.

Natsuki was learning the Transformation Technique to unlock the second ability of the Uzumaki Naruto template, so he studied it very diligently.

However, Minato Namikaze had already mastered the Three Bodies Technique.

When Ishida Yu was available, he immediately went to find him.

"Your situation is indeed quite special."

After a moment's thought, Ishida Yu said, "How about this, I'll go see the Hokage now. Only if he agrees can I teach you other ninjutsu."

Normally, ninja academies only teach the Three Body Techniques.

But as the saying goes, geniuses always have privileges.

"Thank you, teacher."

Minato Namikaze breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked at Xia Mu, who was learning the transformation technique, and thought to himself that he must give him a surprise in the next final exam.

"Keep an eye on them for me, and point out any problems you see."

Yu Ishida gave Minato Namikaze a few words of advice and then headed toward the Hokage's office.

"Come in."

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked up when he heard the knocking.

"Lord Hokage."

Yu Ishida got straight to the point and stated Minato Namikaze's demands.

"Use chakra test strips to test his chakra nature, and then teach him other ninjutsu as needed."

Hiruzen Sarutobi pondered for a moment, then said, "You teach him for a while first, and I'll find someone else to teach him."

"Yes, Lord Hokage."

Upon hearing this, Ishida Yu felt a pang of envy.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's meaning is self-evident: he wants to arrange a mentor for Minato Namikaze in advance.

After bowing slightly, Ishida Yu turned and left.

"Go and inform Jiraiya that he should return to Konoha when he has time."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said to the air, "Also, summon Orochimaru."

"Yes, Lord Hokage."

The hidden ninja immediately responded.

Yu Ishida returned to the Ninja Academy and conducted a chakra attribute test on Minato Namikaze.

"I actually have three chakra natures?"

Minato Namikaze looked surprised.

"You truly are a genius!"

Looking at his lightning, fire, and wind attributes, Ishida Yu exclaimed in admiration.

"Not as good as Xia Mu."

Minato Namikaze shook his head and said.

"Xia Mu is a swordsmanship genius, and you are a ninjutsu genius."

Yu Ishida reassured him, "It's normal for ninjutsu to be weaker than swordsmanship in the early stages. You might be able to surpass him in the mid-to-late game."

Minato Namikaze was slightly taken aback.

Natsuki doesn't really have much talent in ninjutsu.

For example, the Three Bodies Technique.

He has already learned three, but Xia Mu has only learned one.

Thinking of this, Minato Namikaze's spirits lifted. "Stay calm, I can win! I can turn the tables!"

The first day of the new semester quickly came to an end.

As always, Natsuki went to Konoha Hospital, and after picking up Yakushi Nonou, he returned to the Konoha Orphanage.

He greeted Dean Zhenyou and then went to the kitchen to cook.

But he soon discovered the problem.

"Dean, what happened? You look very worried."

Xia Mu asked directly.

"No...it's nothing."

Zhenyou subconsciously shook her head.

"Dean, don't underestimate me now. Maybe I can solve this."

Xia Mu said in a deep voice.

"I'm short of money."

Seeing this, Zhenyou hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Need money?"

Xia Mu frowned.

He immediately understood: the Konoha Orphanage, or rather, he and Yakushi Nonou, had offended Shimura Danzo.

In a fit of anger, Shimura Danzo cut off the Konoha orphanage's funding.

"Doesn't the Hokage care?"

Xia Mu asked again.

"The Konoha Orphanage has always been under Danzo's care."

The answer was irrelevant to the question.

"Then I'll go find Lady Tsunade."

Xia Mu thought for a moment and then said.

"If Lady Tsunade can help, that would be best."

Zhenyou couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Don't worry, Dean, she will definitely help."

Xia Mu said with a confident expression.

Not to mention that Yakushi Nonou was studying in the medical ninja training class.

His bond with Nawaki and Kushina Uzumaki is enough to get Tsunade's help.

He could have gone directly to Hiruzen Sarutobi, but they weren't familiar with each other, so he went to Tsunade first.

Zhenyou was somewhat dazed upon hearing this.

She hadn't expected that Natsuki and Tsunade's relationship had deteriorated to this point.

In just one year, things changed so quickly that she never expected it.

Such a troublesome matter was easily resolved by Xia Mu.

Xia Mu seemed to be deep in thought.

Money is very important in the ninja world.

Although Hiruzen Sarutobi could solve the Konoha orphanage's funding problem, this money would not be given to him.

Sometimes he would post commissioned tasks in order to unlock character templates.

It's all going out and no coming in, so it can't last long.

What ways could he possibly have to make money?

Xia Mu had a sudden thought and decided to open an izakaya (Japanese pub).

He has the template of Shirou Emiya, so his cooking skills are already sufficient.

Just then, a line of text appeared before his eyes.

[You have awakened the Zeff template.]

Who is Zeff?

Xia Mu was momentarily at a loss.

He subconsciously looked at the newly triggered character template.

[Name: Zhepu]

[Period: Owner and head chef of the floating restaurant Barratier.]

[World: One Piece.]

[Rank: D]

[Ability 1: Cooking Skills, unlocked.]

[Result: Exquisite culinary skills.]

[Ability 2: Head Chef's Flying Kick, not yet unlocked.]

[Effect: Jumps up and kicks the enemy with your right foot.]

[Unlock condition: Open an izakaya (Japanese pub).]

[Ability 3: Head Chef's Thousand-Pound Drop, not yet unlocked.]

[Effect: Jump into the air and kick downwards with your right foot at the enemy; this kick can destroy the floor.]

[Unlock condition: Conquer thirty ninjas with your culinary skills.]

It turns out he was Sanji's teacher in One Piece.

Natsuki still has some impression of his storyline with Sanji, which was quite touching.

Apart from Ability One, Ability Two and Ability Three are equivalent to physical skills of D to C level.

He estimated it to be similar to Might Guy's Leaf Whirlwind series, which could make up for his lack of physical skills.

Natsuki snapped out of her reverie and started talking to Mayu about opening an izakaya (Japanese pub).

His idea was to have the orphans from the Konoha Orphanage help out as waiters, and he would pay them wages.

At the same time, izakayas cater to both the mass market and the high-end market.

The "commoner's route" means that Zhenyou will be the one cooking.

He'll handle the high-end market, catering exclusively to wealthy ninjas, merchants, and nobles.

Of course, the price will also be very high.

He also controls the number of times he cooks, firstly because scarcity increases value, and secondly because he has to attend classes and training.

Zhenyou readily agreed.

Because she had tasted Xia Mu's cooking, it was truly exceptional; it would be difficult to find another person in the entire Hidden Leaf Village who could cook better than him.

With the matter resolved, Xia Mu ate dinner and then resumed training.

[Congratulations, host, for unlocking Shiba Tatsuya's second template ability: Gravity Reduction Magic.]

After a holiday of tree-climbing training, he finally gained a new skill.

Gravity-enhancing magic: Gravity Reduction!

Xia Mu immediately understood what it meant to be as light as a swallow.

He started running in the yard, a third faster than he had been going forward.
