Naruto: Fusion of Multiverse Character Templates

After April arrived, the temperature in Konoha Village rose considerably.

On a sunny Saturday, Natsuki and Mayu's izakaya officially opened for business.

Although it's called a partnership, Makoto is actually in charge of everything at the izakaya.

Xia Mu's situation is special; he needs to attend classes and training.

Fortunately, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the high-end route he designated will become the mainstay of the izakaya.

Countless marketing cases from the past have proven one thing: as long as you have enough fame, you can make a steady stream of money.

Moreover, his culinary skills are genuine.

[Congratulations, host, for unlocking Zeff's second ability: Chef's Flying Kick.]

Xia Mu glanced at it and then heard Rope Tree's voice.

He immediately shut down the system and looked into the distance.

Xia Mu was slightly taken aback.

He had assumed that Nawaki had come with Tsunade, but the person standing next to him was not Tsunade, but a young man.

Long, flowing hair, pale skin, purple eyeshadow, golden vertical pupils, and a cold, aloof aura.

With these characteristics combined, even though it was the first time Xia Mu had met him, she guessed who he was: Orochimaru.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's student, Tsunade and Jiraiya's teammate, and one of the future Legendary Sannin of Konoha.

In the original work, he turned to the pursuit of immortality because of Nawaki's death, thus embarking on the path of an evil scientist.

He was eventually discovered by Hiruzen Sarutobi and became a rogue ninja of Konoha. He later collaborated with Sunagakure to carry out the Konoha Crush plan.

But he hasn't turned evil yet.

He looks gloomy, but he's actually a fairly normal ninja.

"Natsuki!"

Nawaki said excitedly, "Let me introduce you, this is my teacher, Orochimaru."

teacher?

Xia Mu was somewhat surprised, but upon reflection, it made sense.

After all, Orochimaru and Tsunade were teammates who grew up together.

It's no exaggeration to say that even if Orochimaru weren't Nawaki-sensei, he would still treat him like a student and guide him.

"Lord Orochimaru."

Xia Mu immediately greeted him.

Orochimaru nodded expressionlessly, without saying a word.

"Please come in."

Xia Mu raised his hand and said.

Seeing this, Orochimaru and Nawaki went into the izakaya.

"Nawaki-senpai, why isn't your sister with you?"

Xia Mu led the way, taking them to a luxurious private room that had been prepared in advance.

"She asked me to inform Orochimaru-sensei that she and Kushina would be there shortly."

Rope Tree explained.

"I see."

Xia Mu nodded and pushed open the door to the private room.

Yakushi Nonou subconsciously stood up.

"Good evening, Nono."

Rope Tree greeted him with a smile.

"You two can chat first, I'll wait for Lady Tsunade at the entrance."

After finishing speaking, Natsuki went to the entrance of the izakaya.

He didn't have to wait long before he saw Tsunade.

But besides her and Kushina Uzumaki, there are also Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya.

Will the legendary Sannin of Konoha reunite in the future?

This was also the first time Natsuki had met Jiraiya.

His features were more pronounced than Orochimaru's; he had white hair and wore a headband with the character for "oil" engraved on his forehead.

"Lady Tsunade."

Natsuki went to greet him, "Lord Jiraiya."

Do you know me?

Jiraiya asked with some doubt.

"I have heard many stories about Lord Jiraiya."

"That's what Xia Mu replied."

"I want tender chicken tonight."

Tsunade smiled slightly and said, "Natsuki, don't disappoint me."

"Did you really cook?"

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya replied, "Then you'll have to put in your best cooking skills. As a seasoned gourmet, I've tasted food all over the ninja world."

At this point, he had become a contractor of Mount Myōboku.

Driven by the Great Toad Sage's so-called prophecy, he traveled throughout the ninja world while undertaking missions, so the claim that he ate his way across the entire ninja world is not a lie.

"Natsuki will definitely make you satisfied!"

Kushina Uzumaki said confidently.

"Wait for me in the private room, the food will be served shortly."

Xia Mu said as he walked.

They quickly entered the private room.

After exchanging pleasantries, Xia Mu went to the kitchen.

Minato Namikaze and Nonou Yakushi exchanged a glance, sensing the tension between them.

After all, Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru were all there.

This person is a very important figure to them.

"Minato, do you know why I brought you along?"

Jiraiya took the initiative to ask the question.

Minato Namikaze shook his head.

He was preparing to eat dinner when Jiraiya suddenly appeared in front of him.

He was then led to this izakaya (Japanese pub).

As for Tsunade and Kushina Uzumaki, they were encountered on the way.

"Your teacher said you have great talent and could be my student."

Jiraiya didn't hide anything and said it directly.

Minato Namikaze's eyes widened in shock.

Jiraiya's student? What makes him so special?

But what followed was a pleasant surprise.

If he becomes Jiraiya's student, his future achievements will be limitless.

Tsunade already knew this, so she wasn't surprised.

Orochimaru remained calm, because he had a vague suspicion when he met Minato Namikaze.

"But whether you can become my student depends on your performance."

Jiraiya said with a smile, "I'll teach you for a while, but don't blame me if you don't pass."

"I see!"

Minato Namikaze immediately responded.

For a commoner genius like him, this was undoubtedly a transformative opportunity.

Whether or not we can seize it remains to be seen.

No matter what, he has to give it his all.

"Nonou, you too."

Tsunade suddenly spoke up, "Starting tomorrow, I will personally teach you."

Yakushi Nonou was momentarily stunned.

"What about Xia Mu?"

Rope Tree asked instinctively.

"Whose student do you want Xia Mu to be?"

Tsunade asked jokingly.

"Me?"

Nawaki scratched his head and said, "I hope he can be my teammate."

"pity."

Tsunade shook her head with a regretful tone.

"It doesn't matter if it isn't."

Rope Tree was somewhat disappointed, but she didn't insist.

Your sister is lying to you.

Jiraiya exposed the truth, saying, "Natsuki is skilled in swordsmanship, so Orochimaru is the most suitable teacher for him."

Nawaki subconsciously looked at Tsunade.

"Don't you know? The prettier a woman is, the more likely she is to lie."

Tsunade blinked and smiled happily.

"hateful!"

Rope Tree said through gritted teeth.

"Rope Tree, you should learn more from your teacher so you won't be deceived when you grow up."

Jiraiya laughed and patted him on the shoulder, saying...

Orochimaru also laughed, though not as obviously as Jiraiya and Tsunade.

The private room was instantly filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

A group of people chatted while waiting.

After an unknown amount of time, the door opened, and Zhenyou walked in carrying dishes.

She put down the dishes and said, "This is the first dish, chirashi sushi."

Natsuki obtained Shirou Emiya's template.

It just so happens that an anime called "Today's Menu for the Emiya Family" was released in my previous life.

Therefore, he plans to select a few dishes that appeared in the menu.

Time passed slowly.

The table was soon filled with dishes.

Mixed hot pot, stir-fried bamboo shoots in cream sauce, fried chicken nuggets, and salmon baked in butter foil, etc.

Of course, there's also Tsunade's favorite tender chicken.

"It smells delicious."

Jiraiya took a deep breath of the aroma and revealed an expectant expression.

Tsunade, without any hesitation, picked up her chopsticks and took a piece of chicken.

She popped it into her mouth, chewed it a few times, and then looked surprised.

"This is the best tender chicken I've ever eaten."

Tsunade looked at Natsuki and commented.

Orochimaru glanced around and took a bite of the fried egg.

He raised an eyebrow, sensing his satisfaction.

Xia Mu's cooking skills were indeed better than he had expected.

From this perspective, it wouldn't be a bad deal to take him on as a student.
