Naruto: Fusion of Multiverse Character Templates

In a secluded corner of the metropolis of the Land of Fire.

"Nawaki-senpai, how about we make a bet?"

Xia Mu suddenly asked.

"What kind of bet?"

Rope Tree paused slightly, then asked in confusion, "Why are you imitating my sister?"

"If we charge in head-on, the two of us might not be able to defeat Yasuda."

Xia Mu took out a small glass bottle and asked, "I've prepared poison. What have you prepared?"

"I also prepared poison."

Rope Tree realized what was happening and said, "I'm your senior, so I won't fight you for it. I can set up a trap."

"I'll poison it, you set the trap, let's bet on whose trap will work."

Xia Mu said upon hearing this.

"very good!"

Nawaki said confidently, "It's definitely my victory!"

"That's hard to say."

Xia Mu smiled and said, "Let's start now before Yasuda comes back."

After traveling for a day and a night, they arrived at the metropolis of the Land of Fire.

Upon arrival, Orochimaru gave them an address and then became a hands-off manager.

Natsuki and Nawaki found Yasuda's address based on the address.

Yasuda happened to be out of the house at that time.

The two exchanged a glance and then climbed over the wall into the courtyard.

Rope Tree glanced around and then set up a trap in the living room.

Natsuki originally planned to poison the water Yasuda was drinking, but changed his mind at this point.

He was worried that Yasuda would trigger the rope tree's trap before he even drank the water.

After a moment's thought, he changed to a different poison.

Previously, poisons were taken orally, but now they are spread through the air and enter the body through respiration.

After the two finished making their arrangements, they quickly fled the scene.

"I suddenly remembered something."

While waiting, Rope Tree said, "Our bet hasn't been settled yet."

"What kind of bet do you want?"

Xia Mu countered with a question.

"hey-hey."

Without hesitation, Rope Tree said, "Let me eat ten meals for free."

That's it?

Xia Mu couldn't help but smile and agreed.

There was actually no such bet; Tsunade and Nawaki often went to his izakaya for meals.

"And you?"

Rope Tree generously replied, "As long as the stakes aren't too outrageous, I can get them for you."

"The stakes in a bet are based on an equivalent exchange."

Xia Mu thought for a moment and said, "Then help me find a spirit beast."

"What do you need so many summoned beasts for?"

Rope Tree asked curiously.

"Each summoned beast has different abilities, and they will come in handy someday."

Xia Mu explained.

"Is that so?"

Rope Tree nodded and said, "Alright, if you win, I'll find you a summoning beast."

For someone of his status, finding a spirit beast would be an extremely simple matter.

Theoretically, he could even utilize the resources of the entire Hidden Leaf Village.

Just then, Nawaki's ninja dog Saburo wagged its tail vigorously.

The two immediately stopped talking, because this was a signal that Yasuda was coming back.

They exchanged a glance, anxiously waiting for the trap they had set to be triggered.

Yasuda opened the door and stepped into the courtyard.

He arrived at the door and was about to open it when his gaze suddenly froze.

As a special Jonin of Iwagakure and an intelligence agent, he is highly skilled in both assassination and counter-assassination.

Before leaving home, he placed some tiny powder on the ground.

If the door is opened, it will leave faint marks on the floor.

Yasuda glanced at the marks and silently formed hand seals.

Perceptual abilities are spreading.

He had a complete grasp of the situation inside the living room.

"Have they already left? Perhaps they've left behind a trap."

Yasuda took a step back and opened the door remotely.

But nothing happened.

Yasuda walked into the living room, carefully looked around, and quickly discovered the problem.

He walked to the sofa and pulled out three explosive tags from under it.

Yasuda then went to the window and found an explosive tag under a potted plant.

In addition, he also found several kunai in the corners on both sides of the living room.

After one round, all four traps set by Rope Tree were dismantled.

"A technique at the Chunin level."

Yasuda shook his head and said.

He didn't waste any more time and started packing his things, intending to leave.

Although he didn't know who had discovered him, as an intelligence operative, he should have moved if he was exposed.

"wrong!"

Yasuda suddenly felt dizzy and lightheaded. "Damn it, it's poisonous!"

Without saying a word, he took out a bottle of general antidote and poured it into his mouth.

The discomfort had subsided considerably, but it was still there, which meant he needed to find a specialized medical ninja or doctor.

Yasuda abandoned packing without hesitation and turned to walk out.

As soon as he stepped outside, he was greeted by a huge water dragon.

It is Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!

Yasuda had anticipated this.

The moment he saw the water dragon, he swayed and ran to the left at top speed.

boom!

The water jet hit Yasuda's living room, and the house shook.

Upon seeing this, Yasuda couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He immediately locked onto the rope tree.

Where did this child come from?

Yasuda hesitated for a moment, but his hands moved quickly.

Magical Hellfire Technique!

Rope Tree, who was forming hand seals, froze on the spot, feeling as if flames were burning all over his body.

When Yasuda saw that his illusion had worked, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up.

But the next second, he felt a chill run through his entire body.

He instinctively turned around and saw a flash of light.

A look of astonishment appeared on Yasuda's face.

He looked down and saw a knife piercing through his body.

The One-Sword Style: Iaijutsu: Lion's Lament is already very fast, not to mention it's further enhanced by the Gravity Reduction and Enhancement Magic.

In addition, Yasuda was poisoned and his reaction was slower than usual.

Of course, the most important thing was that Natsuki used the rope tree as bait to attract Yasuda's attention, which allowed him to kill him in one blow.

"His illusion magic is truly amazing."

Rope Tree broke free of the illusion and said, his face pale.

It took him three seconds to break the illusion.

In a one-on-one fight, three seconds is enough to kill him three times.

"We're still young, it's normal that we can't compare to him."

Xia Mu stepped back and sheathed the Thor's Sword.

"But in the end, he died at our hands!"

Rope Tree quickly regained his composure and said with a smile.

Two ninja academy students killed a special jonin; if word got out, probably no one would believe it.

Xia Mu smiled but didn't say anything.

He only needs to kill two more Chunin to unlock the Shadow Assassin template for Fushiguro Megumi.

Yasuda's death also brought his Shippo template ability, the Three Fox Demon Technique, to two-thirds complete.

"All four of my traps were destroyed by Yasuda, so it seems you won this bet."

When Rope Tree entered the living room, he discovered that none of his traps had been triggered.

"Even if you lose, you can still eat ten meals for free."

Xia Mu said casually.

"That's what I say, but I can still afford to lose."

Rope Tree clenched his fist and said, "When we get back, I'm going to make sure my teacher teaches me how to set up traps properly."

"I suggest you specialize in explosive tag traps."

Xia Mu's heart skipped a beat, and he said, "Most traps are ineffective against powerful ninjas, except for explosive tag traps."

The explosive tag is essentially a fire-style ninjutsu.

The ninja was hit by the explosive tag; even if he didn't die, he would be severely injured.

However, detonation tag traps are not common.

The reason is that detonating tags are too expensive.

In the original work, even Nara Shikamaru had to carefully calculate when buying explosive tags and dared not buy too many.

But Rope Tree is not short of money.

More importantly, in the original work, he died in an explosive tag trap.

If he had specialized in explosive tag traps, perhaps he could have avoided this outcome.
