Naruto: Fusion of Multiverse Character Templates

Chapter 205: New Developments with Mikoto, Focusing on Mei Terumi (First and Second Updates)

Xia Mu fell into deep thought.

Of the four abilities that need to be unlocked for the Aizen template, unlocking the Hogyoku can be left until last.

Because its unlocking conditions are the most difficult.

Absorbing the power of the nine tailed beasts is no less difficult than unifying the ninja world directly.

He can't do it for now.

Moreover, it's not something that can be done in a short time.

We can start preparing to unlock the remaining three abilities.

Among the three major ninja villages—Kumogakure, Iwagakure, and Kirigakure—Kirigakure is undoubtedly the easiest to control.

Because it is the weakest overall.

In addition, the Third Mizukage is currently the weakest of the Five Kage.

In addition, he also has the unlock condition of killing a Kage-level powerhouse, making the Third Mizukage a good choice.

In the original work, after Obito Uchiha turned to the dark side, he chose to control Kirigakure.

While Rin Nohara was killed by Kirigakure, the real reason was that Kirigakure was the weakest village.

If Obito Uchiha had chosen to control Konoha, there would have been two problems.

First, he might not be able to defeat Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Secondly, the Hyuga clan in Konoha Village possesses the Byakugan, which can detect whether a target is under the control of genjutsu.

Controlling Kirigakure presents Natsuki with a greater challenge than Obito Uchiha.

Because we also need to establish the Ten Blades.

The Espada need ten Jonin from Kirigakure.

Xia Mu thought of Ye Cang.

The best way to control Kirigakure is to support a new Mizukage.

Then you can also take on an enemy ninja as a student at the same time.

Mei Terumi appeared in Natsuki's mind.

Mei Terumi is the same age as Kakashi Hatake, and is now about ten years old.

The age is just right.

Xia Mu nodded.

Once the goal is set, the rest becomes much simpler.

The first thing to do is wait for the Third Mizukage to leave Kirigakure.

This is not difficult.

The war between Kumogakure and Kirigakure is intensifying, and the Third Mizukage will inevitably have to go to the battlefield sooner or later.

The second thing was to take Mei Terumi as a student.

This task is actually more difficult.

The unlock condition clearly states that it requires an enemy ninja.

If Natsuki were to conceal his identity and take Mei Terumi as his student, it might not be in line with the behavior of an enemy ninja.

However, without concealing her identity, under normal circumstances, Mei Terumi would not become his student.

Xia Mu pondered for a moment and then had an idea.

Then he would force Mei Terumi to become his student.

In Bleach, Gin Ichimaru approached Aizen with the intention of killing him.

Aizen also knew that he kept Gin Ichimaru by his side out of curiosity about how he would kill him.

A knock came at the door.

"Come in."

Xia Mu snapped out of his daze and said.

The door was pushed open, and Uchiha Mikoto walked in.

After she got closer, she took out a document.

"Natsuki, this is the list of genin who have signed up for the Chunin Exams."

Mikoto Uchiha explained.

Xia Mu took the documents and began to read them.

Although it was just the Chunin Exams held by Konoha Village, quite a few ninja teams participated in this Chunin Exams.

The reason is the approaching war.

If you don't participate this time, nobody knows when the next Chunin Exams will be.

A war that affects the entire ninja world could easily last for several years.

If we take the Chunin Exams later, it will take too long.

However, although many ninja teams participated, it is highly likely that only three ninja teams will be able to break through the encirclement.

That was the team led by Natsuki, Minato Namikaze, and Nawaki.

"Pass down the word: the Chunin Exams are scheduled for next Monday."

After reading the information, Xia Mu said.

"OK."

Mikoto Uchiha nodded, then asked, "How will the examiners and exam content be arranged?"

"Lu Jiu will be in charge of the exam content."

Xia Mu paused for a moment, then said, "The examiner said to have Minato find three ninjas."

Whether it's Nara Shikaku or Namikaze Minato, they are both Hokage secretaries, just like him, so it's in accordance with the rules to have them do these things.

"I'll go and inform them right now."

Uchiha Mikoto immediately responded upon hearing this.

After she finished speaking, she glanced at Xia Mu before turning and leaving.

But she felt somewhat disappointed.

After all, Xia Mu didn't take advantage of her today.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Mikoto suddenly shook her head.

How did you become this kind of woman?

Mikoto Uchiha quickly banished the chaotic thoughts from her mind and headed to the Hokage's secretary's office.

Xia Mu couldn't help but smile.

He noticed Mikoto Uchiha's gaze, but unfortunately, he was busy.

Princess Tianxin summoned him using the Reverse Summoning Technique.

Natsuki soon arrived at the headquarters of the Seven Warlords of the Sea in the metropolis of the Land of Water.

"Owner."

Princess Tianxin bowed slightly and said, "We have located the bodies of Golden Horn and Silver Horn."

"In Kumogakure?"

Xia Mu countered with a question.

"It is indeed in Kumogakure (Hidden Cloud Village)."

Princess Tashin nodded and said, "But it was hidden by the Hidden Cloud Village."

Why?

Xia Mu had a sudden thought and came up with a reason.

"The corpses of Kinkaku and Ginkaku contained a large amount of Nine-Tails chakra."

"That's what Princess Tianxin replied."

Xia Mu thought to himself, "As expected."

In the original work, Silver Horn and Silver Horn were once swallowed by the Nine-Tailed Fox.

But thanks to the bloodline of the Sage of Six Paths, they not only did not die, but also consumed a large amount of chakra.

The Nine-Tails finally couldn't take it anymore and spat them out.

The Nine-Tails' chakra that they devoured remained within their own bodies.

The most outrageous thing is that they can also achieve partial tailed beast transformation, making them essentially two mini Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

However, this benefited Xia Mu.

He can use the Black Grail to absorb all of the Nine-Tails' chakra.

"What are the specific details? How many people are guarding them?"

Xia Mu asked again.

"There is only one ninja squad from Kumogakure guarding it."

Tianxin Shenji paused for a moment, then said, "None of the four are very strong, and the captain is a Jonin."

Xia Mu was slightly taken aback, but then he understood.

Under normal circumstances, no one would be idle enough to steal a corpse.

Even if there was a large amount of Nine-Tails chakra in the corpses of Kinkaku and Ginkaku, it would still be the same.

For the vast majority of ninjas, the Nine-Tails' chakra is too violent to be of any use.

The only way is to become a Jinchūriki of the Nine-Tails' chakra.

However, like dragon veins, unconscious chakra aggregation will cause continuous rampages, resulting in more harm than good.

"After the Chunin Exams are over, go to Kumogakure and summon me."

Xia Mu thought for a moment and then said.

He had never been to Kumogakure, but he was too lazy to go, so having Tashin no Shinki do it for him was the best option.

"Yes, Master."

Princess Tianxin immediately responded.

"There's one more thing; have Princess Ichikishima do it."

Suddenly, Natsuki remembered something and said, "Help me monitor the Third Mizukage and Mei Terumi of Kirigakure, and keep track of their location at all times."

After he finished speaking, he opened a portal.

Natsuki arrived at Yokura's house in Sunagakure.

But she wasn't home.

Xia Mu stroked his chin and quickly guessed where she would be.

That's the Wind Shadow's office.

Under normal circumstances, the new generation of Kazekage will not officially take office until the Kazekage succession ceremony is completed.

But the situation in Sunagakure Village is very special now.

With the death of the Third Kazekage, the group was leaderless.

If Yekura doesn't arrive at work early, many things can't get going.

Xia Mu quickly arrived near the Fengying Building.

Upon seeing the window of the Wind Shadow's office, he opened a spatial portal.

The prerequisite for the Door-Door Fruit to teleport is that Natsuki has been to that place before or that place is within his sight.

Sitting at Kazekage's desk, Ye Cang subconsciously looked up.

Space distorted, and a door appeared.

Yecang immediately lowered his guard.

"Congratulations on becoming the fourth Kazekage."

Xia Mu walked out of the spatial portal and said with a smile.

"The procedure is not yet complete."

Ye Cang looked at him and said.

"It's just a matter of time."

Xia Mu casually asked, "When is the Kazekage succession ceremony?"

Next Sunday.

Yekura replied, "We must wait for the arrival of the Daimyo of the Land of Wind."

Xia Mu walked towards Feng Ying's desk.

Ye Cang thought he was going to sit down, so he stood up.

But the next second, she paused slightly.

With a light leap, Xia Mu sat down on Feng Ying's desk.

This was the first time Yecang had ever seen someone sit directly on the table.

Especially the Fengying desk.

Yekura sensed that Natsuki was displaying his power.

He practically made it clear that the Fourth Kazekage was inferior to him.

"Even though you've become the Kazekage, you still need to be careful of Rasa and Reki."

Natsuki cautioned, "They wield considerable power within Sunagakure."

"I know."

Ye Cang sat down again, looked up at him, and said, "I already have a plan to gradually reduce their power."

Xia Mu's gaze shifted downwards.

Because he sits high, he can see deeply.

He could clearly see Yekura's snow-white skin at the neckline and her clearly defined clothes.

"Do you need my help?"

Xia Mu blinked and said, "I can help you take out Rasa and Reki."

"There's no need."

Yekura shook his head and refused, saying, "Most importantly, I don't want to start a war with Iwagakure and Kirigakure right after taking office."

Xia Mu nodded slightly.

In fact, she also overlooked the Hidden Cloud Village.

In the original work, after learning of the Third Kazekage's disappearance, the first village to start a war was Kumogakure.

However, after attacking Sunagakure, Kumogakure chose to leave.

The reason is that the two ninja villages are too far apart.

Especially since Konoha Village and Iwagakure Village are interspersed in between.

If the two ninja villages were to launch a surprise attack while the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Sand Village were at war, it would be very easy for them to succeed.

Although the sudden attack by Kumogakure seemed absurd, it did serve its purpose.

That confirms the rumors of the Third Kazekage's disappearance and exposes the current state of turmoil in Sunagakure.

Afterwards, in order to divert attention from their own problems, Sunagakure chose to attack Konoha.

However, Iwagakure and Kirigakure seized the opportunity and launched an attack on Sunagakure as well.

Under these circumstances, in order to alleviate the pressure, Sunagakure sold Pakura and ended the war with Kirigakure.

Of course, the Third Shinobi World War was not a siege of Sunagakure, but a war between the five great shinobi villages.

The worst off was Konoha, which was simultaneously at war with four other ninja villages.

The current situation is different from that in the original work.

The Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Mist Village have already gone to war.

It is highly unlikely that it will attack Sunagakure again.

As I said before, going too far is not worth the effort.

Although Kirigakure is nearby, it is estimated that it will not pay attention to Sunagakure for the time being because it is at war with Kumogakure.

The village of Iwagakure is the most likely to take advantage of this opportunity to make a move.

"I'll keep an eye on Kirigakure."

Thinking of this, Natsuki reminded him, "Just keep an eye on Iwagakure."

"Um."

Yekura suddenly smiled and said, "Thinking about it carefully, Sunagakure has actually benefited from being controlled by you."

Under normal circumstances, Sunagakure would be worried about Iwagakure, Konoha, and Kirigakure.

But with Natsuki, there's only one ninja village to worry about.

"So how are you going to thank me?"

Xia Mu raised an eyebrow and asked.

"I've been busy lately, so I'll pay you some interest first."

Yecang stood up and brought her moist lips closer.

Xia Mu immediately lowered his head and kissed her.

Yekura's calm expression changed instantly.

Although she had kissed Xia Mu before, it was only a brief encounter.

This time was different; the deep kiss made her feel like she was lacking oxygen and was dizzy.

She looked at Xia Mu, who was so close to her, and felt her heart pounding.

Yekura suddenly felt that this kind of life wasn't so bad.

Xia Mu is powerful and has an outstanding appearance.

If she were in Sunagakure, she would definitely have countless suitors, and she might not be able to resist them.

After a long while, their lips parted.

Ye Cang's cheeks flushed slightly, and she looked away somewhat embarrassed.

"I'll come back next time."

Xia Mu released Ye Cang and said with a smile.

He opened a portal and returned to his office in Konoha Village.

But as soon as he stepped out, he saw Uchiha Mikoto.

"Natsuki."

Mikoto Uchiha walked up to him, brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, and said, "All the notices have been issued."

"Thank you for your hard work, Mikoto."

Xia Mu looked at her rosy lips and kissed them.

Seeing this, Uchiha Mikoto happily went to greet her.

She reached out and wrapped her arms around Xia Mu's neck.

Her graceful body nestled into his arms.

Sensing his presence, a dazed look appeared on Uchiha Mikoto's face.

"Mikoto."

Xia Mu leaned close to her ear and said, "Do me a favor."

Being teased by two beautiful women in a row, he was naturally furious as a man.

"Wh-what?"

Mikoto Uchiha blushed and asked instinctively.

Xia Mu immediately said something.

Mikoto Uchiha was stunned for a moment, then suddenly came to her senses.

She shook her head instinctively.

Xia Mu deliberately sighed.

"I—I—"

Seeing his expression, Mikoto Uchiha felt both shy and soft-hearted, and finally nodded.

Xia Mu couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.

As expected, only Uchiha Mikoto would agree to something like this.

Xia Mu then released her and walked to his desk.

After he sat down, Uchiha Mikoto had already disappeared.

Xia Mu picked up a document at random.

He frowned after seeing half of it.

However, he quickly relaxed again.

Xia Mu took out a pen.

The processing details were written above.

Natsuki breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Uchiha Mikoto.

She puffed out her cheeks and remained silent.

Xia Mu continued working.

Half an hour later, after sitting for a long time, he stretched his tense legs.

"Mikoto, your work is finished, you don't need to stay with me."

Xia Mutou didn't look up, and said...

Mikoto Uchiha raised her eyes, her throat bobbed, and she nodded.

She stepped out from behind her desk and subconsciously wiped the corner of her mouth.

For some reason, she, who should have resisted, found this behavior acceptable.

Mikoto Uchiha patted her cheeks, forcing herself to calm down.

But after thinking about it, she decided to go home first and wash up.

A new week is coming soon.

Although it was Monday, the Ninja Academy was still closed.

The reason is that today is the Chunin Exams.

The first stage of the Chunin Exams is the written test.

The written test was held at the Ninja Academy.

To avoid disturbing the genin taking the Chunin Exams, the Ninja Academy gave them a day off.

Of course, the students are very happy to have a holiday.

Why is there a written exam in the Chunin Exams?

"Uchiha Obito asked with a frustrated look on his face."

"Because a ninja who doesn't study well can't become Hokage."

Kakashi Hatake said calmly.

"That damn Kakashi!"

Upon hearing this, Obito Uchiha immediately retorted angrily, "Who says you can't? I can!"

"Yeah?"

Kakashi Hatake glanced at him and said, "You'll have to pass the written test first."

"It's okay!"

With her hands on her hips, Mitarashi Anko declared, "I've already found out; cheating on the written exam is allowed!"

"Really?"

Obito Uchiha immediately became interested.

"Obito, cheating is wrong."

"Nohara Rin said softly."

"I'm just curious."

Obito Uchiha gave an awkward smile, then asked in confusion, "How could cheating be allowed in a written exam?"

"Strictly speaking, cheating is not allowed."

Sarutobi Asuma casually remarked, "If you don't get caught, it's not considered cheating."

"good!"

Mitarashi Anko confidently declared, "With my abilities, I definitely won't get caught!"

Obito Uchiha's eyes darted around, and he too became interested.

If he were to do the questions on his own, he really wouldn't be confident of passing.

If I fail, won't Kakashi laugh at me for the rest of my life?

He can't stand that!

"I don't need to cheat."

Kurenai Yuhi said with a smile.

"Me too."

"Silently echoed."

"You academic high-achievers are really annoying."

Mitarashi Anko gave a soft hum and said.

"I don't know who the examiner is."

Sarutobi Asuma looked around and said.

"I've investigated, and in the past, the examiners for the first stage of the Chunin Exams were all Chunin or Special Jonin."

Mitarashi Anko replied.

"No wonder you're so confident."

Sarutobi Asuma's lips twitched, and he asked, "Why don't you usually investigate so thoroughly when you're on a mission?"

"These are all low-level tasks; no investigation is needed."

Mitarashi Anko waved her hand and said, "Anyway, it's a piece of cake for our team."

"Why is Minato-sensei here?"

Rin Nohara suddenly saw Minato Namikaze.

"Hello everyone, I am Minato Namikaze, your examiner for the written test."

Minato Namikaze walked in and introduced himself.

"It's over!"

Mitarashi Anko suddenly felt a headache coming on.

Meanwhile, Natsuki was watching Uchiha Mikoto eat a popsicle in his office.

He bought this on a whim this morning.

Although it's late April and the weather is relatively cool, eating popsicles can make you feel even cooler and have a cooling effect.

Xia Mu withdrew his gaze, then thought of the Chunin Exams.

There's not much to see in the written test, so he doesn't plan to go.

The second and third levels involve actual combat, so he can go and check out the situation.
