Naruto: Fusion of Multiverse Character Templates

An unusual scene unfolded at the Konoha Orphanage.

Four people, a dog, and a cat were eating dinner around the table.

"The boss's cooking is so delicious!"

Snow White exclaimed, "Becoming the boss's summoned beast was definitely the right choice, meow!"

Black Flower remained silent, simply inhaling the turbulent air.

The relationship between ninjas and summoned beasts is one of equality, so they can also eat at the table.

Of course, Xia Mu specially prepared meals for them, making them different from the food for the others.

Kushina Uzumaki took a sip of chicken soup and couldn't help but exhale.

She casually reached out and ruffled Bai Xue's hair.

Girls can't resist cute things, and she's no exception.

In contrast, Yakushi Nonou ate very elegantly.

She slowly picked up a piece of beef, put it in her mouth, and chewed it carefully, savoring the delicious flavor spreading in her mouth.

But she soon felt frustrated.

During this time, she also kept learning cooking skills, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not catch up with Xia Mu.

"His cooking is so much better than my sister's!"

Rope Tree spoke from the heart.

Xia Mu glanced at him.

In the original work, there was a scene where Tsunade cooked, and the victim was Nawaki.

The reason I used the word "victim" is because Tsunade's cooking was extremely unpalatable.

In that scene, Rope Tree's face turned mostly black from eating, as if he had been poisoned.

What are your plans for summer vacation?

Xia Mu asked casually.

"I continued to learn Water Release techniques from my teacher."

Rope Tree said in a moment of pause.

"I don't have summer vacation."

Yakushi Nonou shook her head and said.

"I plan to return to the Uzumaki clan with Lady Tsunade."

Kushina Uzumaki raised her head and said.

She is no longer the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and with Tsunade around, she can go out.

After all, she hadn't been home for almost half a year.

Xia Mu was slightly taken aback.

He suddenly thought of a question: When was the Uzumaki clan wiped out?

The original work does not mention a specific time, but it should have taken place before the Second Shinobi World War.

However, this matter is rather complicated, and it's difficult for him to help right now.

"Xia Mu, what about you?"

Kushina Uzumaki countered with a question.

"The teacher said she would take me out to do a mission."

"That's what Xia Mu replied."

"what?"

Rope Tree's eyes widened, and he asked, "Why didn't the teacher call on me?"

"Is it dangerous to go out on missions?"

Yakushi Nonou immediately asked with concern.

"With the teacher here, there will be no danger."

Xia Mu said with a smile.

"I want to go too!"

Nawaki snapped out of his daze and said, "I'll go find the teacher in a bit!"

"Then you'll have to convince your sister."

Xia Mu reminded him.

"She'll definitely agree!"

"That's what Rope Tree said instinctively."

However, he wasn't entirely confident.

"What a pity. If I weren't going back to the Uzumaki clan, I would definitely have gone with you."

Kushina Uzumaki said with considerable regret.

There will be an opportunity.

Xia Mu said nonchalantly.

"Too."

Kushina Uzumaki nodded and said, "I'll go with you next time."

The next day arrived, and it was time for the final exams of Class A in the second grade.

As usual, the first day was a theoretical exam, and the second day was a practical exam.

After frantically practicing questions, Xia Mu has consistently ranked in the top three in the theory exams.

If you get first place in the practical exam, you will generally also be first in the overall ranking.

However, this final exam was a little different for Xia Mu.

Because he needs to get first place this time to unlock the third ability of Shiba Tatsuya's template.

The next morning, on the playground of the ninja school.

"Watergate".

Xia Mu asked, "How are your preparations for this practical exam?"

"I've been preparing for this for a long time."

Minato Namikaze said with a smile, "You won't be disappointed."

"Hey, don't forget about me!"

Kushina Uzumaki scoffed and said, "Who knows, I might be the first place winner in this practical exam!"

She wasn't arrogant; she genuinely had the ability to compete with Natsuki and Minato Namikaze.

In the previous monthly exam, she defeated Onodera and became the third place in the second-year Class A practical exam.

After all, her teacher was Mito Uzumaki.

In Konoha Village today, Mito Uzumaki is considered the strongest.

With her powerful sealing techniques and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, even Hiruzen Sarutobi would have a hard time defeating her.

Onodera, who was not far away, looked at the three of them and felt that there was a sad, thick barrier between them.

He thought he was a genius, but more than a year of beatings had made him realize the reality.

At 9:00 AM, Yu Ishida arrived on time, and the practical exam officially began.

"In the third round, fourth match, Natsuki will face Minato Namikaze."

As Ishida Yu spoke, Class 2-A suddenly became very lively, with some supporting Natsuki and others supporting Minato Namikaze.

However, compared to the overwhelming support for Minato Namikaze a year ago, most students now tend to support Natsuki.

"please."

Minato Namikaze took a deep breath, no longer affected by external influences, and became extremely serious.

Xia Mu nodded and took out a wooden sword.

He launched the first attack.

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

The high-speed wooden sword suddenly vibrated, generating a wave of sword energy.

Upon seeing this, Minato Namikaze immediately formed hand seals.

Chakra gathered in his throat and then transformed into a gust of wind.

This is a C-rank Wind Release: Gale Palm.

Xia Mu couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Why not Fire Release?

After all, Jiraiya's specialty was Fire Release.

Of course, he can also use Wind Release.

Although it wasn't used much in the original work, Nagato did use Wind Release: Gale Palm.

Nagato's ninjutsu was all taught by Jiraiya.

With a loud bang!

The sword wave tore through the fierce wind.

Minato Namikaze was not surprised; he was prepared and had already dodged the remaining sword waves.

After regaining his footing, he immediately threw out a shuriken.

The shuriken is very fast.

Natsuki instinctively sensed something was wrong and quickly used an enhancement magic.

He instinctively raised the wooden knife in his hand.

The wooden knife trembled and broke off in the middle.

Fortunately, the wooden sword provided enough time for Xia Mu to dodge the shuriken to the left.

"Wind Release: Shuriken? No wonder."

Xia Mu glanced at the shuriken stuck in the ground and saw the sharp edge covering its surface.

That was Wind Release chakra.

Wind Release: Shuriken is a technique that imbues a shuriken with Wind Release chakra, making it faster and more powerful in cutting.

Even the reinforced wooden sword couldn't stop it.

The students in Class A of Grade 2 also gasped in surprise upon seeing this scene.

For them, seeing two Wind Release ninjutsu techniques at once at the Ninja Academy was simply unbelievable.

In particular, Minato Namikaze had never used Wind Release ninjutsu before.

"That's what genius is!"

Hiroshi Ishida was both shocked and excited.

But Minato Namikaze was anything but happy.

Because Wind Release: Shūken is already his strongest Wind Release ninjutsu.

He had thought he would win by unexpectedly cutting Xia Mu's wooden sword, but the result was completely unexpected.

There's definitely something wrong with that wooden sword.

However, he still did not give up.

Clone Technique!

Minato Namikaze formed hand seals and created a clone.

Spiritual communication!

Xia Mu threw away the wooden sword and pressed his right hand to the ground.

He shouldn't reveal his ten shadow spells directly right now.

Snow White suddenly appeared and immediately jumped up, grabbing at the nearest Minato Namikaze.

"What?"

Minato Namikaze only felt a blur before his eyes, and then Shirayuki was right in front of him.

Left with no other option, he could only raise his hands to block.

With a bang.

He turned into smoke and disappeared from the spot.

This is a clone.

Seeing this, Xia Mu took out another wooden sword without hesitation.

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

He transformed into a streak of light and attacked Minato Namikaze.

Minato Namikaze immediately felt a terrifying blade.

He instinctively drew his shuriken, but it was too late.

The pain returned.

He flew backward.

Minato Namikaze collapsed to the ground, letting out a sigh.

He chose to learn Wind Release because Wind Release ninjutsu is fast enough.

Lightning Release is actually faster, but Jiraiya only has the chakra natures of fire, wind, earth, and water.

"You've learned two Wind Release ninjutsu in such a short time. It seems I'll be overtaken by you if I don't work harder."

Natsuki sheathed his wooden sword, walked up to Minato Namikaze, and extended his hand.

He did indeed sense the crisis.

He truly deserves to be the future Fourth Hokage.

"We'll fight again next time."

Minato Namikaze paused for a moment, then grasped his hand and stood up.

"I'm waiting for you."

Xia Mu said with a smile.

Minato Namikaze laughed too.

"This is the Will of Fire."

Seeing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi in the Hokage's office said with great satisfaction.

Because of his two grand-disciples in Class A of the second grade, he now peeks at every practical exam.

[Congratulations, host, for unlocking Shiba Tatsuya's template ability three: System-less magic - Illusionary Strike.]

Xia Mu nodded.

All templates for Tatsuya Shiba are now unlocked.
