Naruto: Fusion of Multiverse Character Templates

"The only regret today is that the wine doesn't match the food."

Tsunade put down her chopsticks, shook her head, and said.

"This wine is already the best in the whole village."

Jiraiya cautioned, "It's not that the sake isn't good enough, it's that the food is too good."

"Next time you go out of the village, you can bring back some good wine."

Orochimaru said casually.

"no problem."

Jiraiya smiled broadly and said, "Let's get together again when I find some good sake."

"My lords."

Xia Mu suddenly suggested, "I've prepared a camera. Since this is a rare opportunity, why don't we take a group photo?"

"You've certainly thought this through."

Tsunade said, somewhat surprised.

"I'm definitely going to hang this photo in my room when the time comes."

Rope Tree said happily.

Kushina Uzumaki, Nono Yakushi, and Minato Namikaze naturally wouldn't refuse.

Xia Mu immediately found Zhen You and asked her to take pictures of them.

"You stand in front."

Tsunade spoke up, "Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and I will stand in the second row."

Upon hearing this, Nawaki, Natsuki, Kushina Uzumaki, Nono Yakushi, and Minato Namikaze immediately stood side by side in front of them.

Looking at them, Zhenyou felt a pang of emotion.

They are undoubtedly the best of both generations of ninjas, representing the present and future of Konoha.

Natsuki suggested she buy a camera so she could take pictures and hang them at the izakaya (Japanese pub) as advertising.

In retrospect, the significance of this photo goes beyond mere publicity.

After the photo session, the party came to an end.

"Natsuki."

Orochimaru said calmly, "Wait for me at the first training ground at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."

Without waiting for Xia Mu's reply, he turned and left without any hesitation.

Xia Mu was stunned for a moment, but quickly came to her senses.

Has he become Orochimaru's student?

Fortunately, he hadn't turned to the dark side yet, so becoming his student wasn't so bad.

Xia Mu secretly thought it was a pity that his teacher was not Tsunade.

But it's not that there's no chance.

In the original work, Naruto Uzumaki had two teachers, Kakashi Hatake and Jiraiya.

"Xia Mu, we'll be teammates from now on. Please take care of me."

A cheerful smile appeared on Rope Tree's face.

"You too, nice to meet you."

Xia Mu nodded and said.

"We'll be going now, see you next time."

After Jiraiya finished speaking, he called Minato Namikaze and they left together.

Tsunade, Nawaki, and Kushina Uzumaki did not linger and soon parted ways with Natsuki and Nono Yakushi.

"Dean."

Xia Mu looked at Zhen You and said, "I have a publicity plan here. Find someone to implement it tomorrow."

"set?"

Zhenyou asked in surprise, "Isn't the promotion supposed to be a group photo?"

"This one publicity campaign alone is not enough."

Xia Mu shook his head and began to talk about some of the promotional methods from his previous life.

Examples include distributing flyers, posting GG logos, opening promotions, membership programs, and points systems for customers.

Fortunately, with this group photo, promotion became much easier.

Once he gains fame, he will regularly come over on Saturdays and Sundays to cook for customers who have made reservations.

However, the number of guests who make reservations will not exceed four tables per day, which is two tables each for lunch and dinner.

In short, it perfectly illustrates the saying that scarcity makes things valuable.

"Is this all your idea?"

Zhenyou was deeply shocked after hearing this.

She had never heard of many of the promotional methods.

The main problem is that the propaganda in the ninja world is still very traditional now, unlike in the previous life when propaganda had become extremely ruthless.

"I just thought of it randomly."

Xia Mu blinked and said.

Zhenyou was speechless.

In Xia Mu's presence, she felt that he was the reliable adult.

The next day arrived.

Natsuki entrusted the izakaya business entirely to Mayu.

He and Yakushi Nonou embarked on a completely new phase, which involved learning ninjutsu from the legendary Sannin of Konoha.

Natsuki arrived alone at the first training ground in Konoha Village.

"Natsuki!"

Nawaki, who was practicing Water Release techniques, immediately stopped, waved to him, and shouted.

"Continue your cultivation."

Orochimaru glanced at him and said.

Rope Tree quickly looked away.

"I heard from my teacher that your swordsmanship is quite good, and you even created two sword techniques?"

Orochimaru looked at Natsuki and asked.

"He created three sword techniques himself."

Xia Mu corrected him.

"Attack me."

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and said.

"Yes, Orochimaru-sensei."

Xia Mu took out the Thor's Sword.

With his current strength, he can't hurt Orochimaru at all, so he can do his best.

One-Sword Style: Horse Demon!

Xia Mu gripped the Thor's Sword and slashed out fiercely.

The lightning-like sword descended from above, intending to cut Orochimaru in two.

Orochimaru simply turned slightly to the side and dodged the sword.

One-Sword Style: Thirty-Six Troubles of the Phoenix!

With a flick of his wrist, Xia Mu caused the Thunder God Sword to accelerate dramatically in his hand, creating a series of afterimages.

In the afterimage, a wave of sword energy blasted towards Orochimaru.

Orochimaru raised an eyebrow.

This sword technique is more threatening than the previous one.

But he only took one step to the left, causing Xia Mu's attack to miss.

Ittō-ryū (One-Sword Style), Iaijutsu (Quick Attack), and Shishi-sō (Lion's Lament)!

Xia Mu raised the Thor's Sword.

He transformed into a beam of sword light and vanished instantly.

So fast!

Orochimaru let out a soft "Eh."

He immediately opened his mouth, and a sword was thrust out.

It made a loud clanging sound!

Natsuki reappears.

His Thunder God Sword was blocked by the sword in Orochimaru's mouth, and could not advance any further.

Xia Mu glanced at it and immediately recognized it as the Kusanagi Sword.

Its most distinctive feature is that it can be either long or short, with the longest possible length extending to over 100 meters.

"You're very good."

Orochimaru praised it.

He had previously heard Hiruzen Sarutobi say that Natsuki had created his own swordsmanship, but he was not convinced.

In his view, how powerful could a seven-year-old child's self-created swordsmanship be?

But now, his thinking has changed drastically.

The three sword techniques that Xia Mu created, especially the latter two, have reached the B-level standard.

Orochimaru took a step back and swallowed the Kusanagi sword.

This scene, in Xia Mu's eyes, was somewhat terrifying.

"With your talent for swordsmanship, I suggest you learn all the existing sword techniques, then integrate them and try to create more sword techniques of your own."

Orochimaru pondered for a moment, then spoke.

"Yes, Orochimaru-sensei."

Xia Mu nodded upon hearing this.

Orochimaru's suggestion suited him perfectly.

He does have a system, after all.

"I'll teach you the Leaf Village style swordsmanship first."

Orochimaru thought for a moment and then said.

Leaf-style swordsmanship?

Natsuki immediately thought of the couple, Gekko Hayate and Uzuki Yugao.

They are famous for their Konoha-ryu swordsmanship.

Although Natsuki lacked talent in ninjutsu, he learned swordsmanship very easily because he inherited Zoro's swordsmanship skills.

April has passed in the blink of an eye, and June has arrived.

[Congratulations, host, for unlocking Zeff's template ability three: Chef's Thousand-Pound Drop.]

After two months of fermentation, Xia Mu's izakaya has become famous far and wide.

In particular, the guests he received were all wealthy and influential.

This made his name known among nobles and merchants, and his appointments were booked up for six months straight.

He also won over thirty ninjas with his culinary skills, allowing him to completely integrate with the Zeff template.

On Monday, Natsuki found Ishida Yu.

"You said you wanted to challenge older students?"

Upon hearing this, Ishida Yu couldn't help but show a surprised expression.
