Naruto: Fusion of Multiverse Character Templates

"The training of Water Release chakra nature transformation can be divided into three stages."

Rope Tree paused for a moment, then said, "Mastering the first stage is enough for us for now."

Natsuki suddenly remembered the scene in the original work where Naruto Uzumaki learned Wind Release chakra nature transformation from Asuma Sarutobi.

Similar to the training of Water Release chakra nature transformation, it is also divided into three stages.

In the first stage, use Wind Release to cut through the leaves.

In the second stage, the input of Wind Release chakra must be increased to cut through the waterfall.

The third stage is the combination of nature transformation and ninjutsu, which means being able to freely use or create wind-style ninjutsu.

"What do you think is the most significant characteristic of Water Release techniques?"

Rope Tree took out a piece of paper and asked.

"flow."

Xia Mu thought for a moment and then said.

"It's moist."

Nawaki corrected him, saying, "Our first step is to soak this paper completely with Water Release chakra."

Water Release chakra surged from his palm.

In no time, all the papers in his hand were soaked.

"Give."

Rope Tree handed him a dry, new sheet of paper.

Xia Mu nodded and followed him to begin training in the Water Release chakra nature transformation.

Although he possessed water attribute, his training in water-style chakra nature transformation was not going smoothly.

At the same time, Orochimaru arrived at the Hokage's office.

He told Hiruzen Sarutobi about the two shadow techniques that Natsuki had created.

"That's incredible."

Hiruzen Sarutobi remarked with a sigh, "I'm really looking forward to seeing what kind of ninjutsu he'll create in the future."

"Xia Mu is still young, and I hope that you, teacher, can try your best to keep information about him confidential."

Orochimaru reminded him.

"Don't worry about that, I won't let other ninja villages notice him too early."

Hiruzen Sarutobi understood what Orochimaru was talking about, so he gave a promise directly.

Natsuki is not only a ninja from the Hokage lineage, but also the inheritor of the Will of Fire.

"If the Nara clan finds out about these two shadow techniques, they'll definitely be in trouble."

Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly laughed.

Both Shadow Space and Shadow Assassin are very useful.

However, it is a highly difficult Yin Release ninjutsu, and very few ninjas can learn it.

The Nara clan is different; they are most skilled in shadow magic.

If they could learn these two secret techniques, it would be no exaggeration to say that the strength of the entire ninja clan would rise to a new level.

"That depends on whether they can pay a price that satisfies Xia Mu."

Orochimaru said calmly.

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, showing no intention of helping the Nara clan.

As the Hokage, he wouldn't openly show favoritism towards anyone.

Besides, Xia Mu is his grand-disciple. If he really wanted to be biased, he wouldn't favor the Nara clan first.

Time passed slowly.

After a whole day, Xia Mu made no progress.

But he wasn't in a hurry.

In the original work, it took Naruto Uzumaki about a month to complete his training in Wind Release chakra nature transformation.

This is only because he used the multiple shadow clone technique, which is a cheat-like ability.

Keep in mind that at that time, his Multiple Shadow Clone Technique was already capable of creating thousands of shadow clones with ease.

Xia Mu thought of the Naruto Uzumaki template.

At this moment, he even hoped that the Hidden Cloud Village would kidnap Kushina Uzumaki as soon as possible, so that he could obtain the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique.

However, this is just a thought; he has no way to control how this happens.

Xia Mu touched his chin.

He can learn the Shadow Clone Technique first.

Because he now possesses the chakra reserves of four katanas, which is sufficient for him to learn the Shadow Clone Technique.

Most importantly, he has so many things to do that he can't handle them all by himself.

With the Shadow Clone Technique, he could send his shadow clones to classes and work as chefs at izakayas, allowing him to focus on his cultivation.

"Guess who I am?"

A sudden sound rang out behind Xia Mu.

"Nonou".

Xia Mu said casually.

"Hmph, you guessed wrong!"

Kushina Uzumaki blocked his way with a displeased expression.

Her cheeks puffed out, making her look like a hamster eating.

"Kushina, when did you get back?"

Xia Mu asked with a smile.

After the Ninja Academy was closed for the holidays, she and Tsunade went back to the Uzumaki clan to visit their relatives.

Although she claimed to be visiting relatives, Kushina Uzumaki was actually an orphan.

If the parents are still alive, forcing a little girl to go to Konoha Village would be extremely inhumane.

Moreover, once she becomes the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, she will not be allowed to leave Konoha Village.

From a practical standpoint, Konoha would not want a Nine-Tails Jinchuriki who has a close bond with the Uzumaki clan.

"Just got back."

Kushina Uzumaki pouted, "How come you didn't recognize my voice?"

"Sorry, I was just thinking about how to create my own water-style ninjutsu."

Xia Mu had actually guessed it was her, but he deliberately said the wrong thing.

It's worth seeing such a cute side of her.

Kushina Uzumaki wasn't angry and immediately put the matter out of her mind.

She asked疑惑地问道, "When did you start researching water-style techniques? What about your shadow techniques?"

Xia Mu frequently reads books and materials on Yin Release because he studies shadow techniques.

Kushina Uzumaki had also seen it, so she knew that he was creating his own shadow technique.

"I have successfully created the Shadow Technique, but what I need next is a higher level of Yin Escape, which I cannot meet at the moment."

Xia Mu explained.

"So fast?"

Kushina Uzumaki asked curiously, "What kind of shadow technique is it?"

Xia Mu then demonstrated the Shadow Space and Shadow Assassin to her.

"Wow!"

Kushina Uzumaki's eyes lit up, and she said, "I want a shadow space as convenient as this too!"

She immediately took a liking to the Shadow Space.

"This is Yin Release ninjutsu; you might not be able to learn it."

Xia Mu shook his head and said, "But if you want to learn, I will definitely teach you."

"I'll learn it when I have time later."

Kushina Uzumaki sighed and said, "I must hurry up and learn sealing techniques now."

The purpose of learning sealing techniques is to become the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

The reason for the haste was that Mito Uzumaki's life was nearing its end.

"Um."

Xia Mu was aware of her current situation, so she didn't say much.

"Let's go eat!"

Kushina Uzumaki grabbed his wrist and headed towards the Konoha Orphanage.

She hadn't eaten Xia Mu's cooking for a long time and was really craving it.

"etc."

Xia Mu stopped her and said, "Let's go to Konoha Hospital to find Nono first."

Kushina Uzumaki then remembered Nono Yakushi.

She immediately turned and went to Konoha Hospital.

After the three of them were together, they returned to the Konoha Orphanage.

"I want tempura!"

Kushina Uzumaki was the first to enter.

She stood at the doorway, took off her shoes, revealing her jade-like feet encased in black stockings.

After her came Yakushi Nonou.

She wasn't wearing socks, and her delicate feet left no marks on the floor.

Xia Mu closed the door and went to the kitchen.

Instead of cooking right away, he took a deep breath and used Water Breathing.

During the day, he needs to practice Water Release chakra nature transformation, so he has never tried Water Breathing.

Xia Mu immediately heard a strong and powerful heartbeat, followed by astonishing changes in his body.

A surge of power welled up within him, and he felt an unprecedented strength.

Xia Mu clenched his fist.

For him now, the greatest boost from Water Breathing is to swordsmanship and physical skills.

If he were to fight Nawaki, Mikoto Uchiha, Minato Namikaze, and others again, he could defeat them using swordsmanship and taijutsu.
