Naruto: Fusion of Multiverse Character Templates

The next afternoon.

Something's up!

Xia Mu suddenly perked up and said.

"Have you found them?"

Kushina Uzumaki quickly asked.

She had thought the mission would be thrilling and exciting, but it turned out to be much more boring than she had imagined.

Because they have been reaping nothing since yesterday afternoon.

"Kuroba spotted a group of wandering ninjas robbing a merchant ship on the southern sea."

Xia Mu immediately said, "If nothing unexpected happens, that's our mission objective."

These wandering ninjas are essentially pirates.

This sea area is their territory, and theoretically they will not allow a second pirate force to exist.

"Then let's go save them now!"

Rope Tree immediately said happily.

Given his personality, he would never miss an opportunity to help those in need.

"There are only three of us, so the best way is to approach quietly and launch a sneak attack from the shadows."

After a moment's thought, Xia Mu said, "I'll take care of that pirate leader."

"Um."

Rope Tree didn't say anything more upon hearing this.

Xia Mu is the strongest and possesses the secret technique of Shadow Assassin, making him the most suitable to deal with that pirate leader.

"be safe."

Kushina Uzumaki quickly replied.

"You too."

Natsuki dispelled the summoning technique and, along with Nawaki and Kushina Uzumaki, rushed towards the merchant ship.

A moment later, they saw the merchant ship.

At that moment, two groups of people were fighting on the deck, but they could not see the specifics of the battle; they could only hear screams.

Because a fog enveloped the merchant ship.

This is the most classic ninjutsu of Kirigakure: Water Release: Hidden Mist Technique.

Its effect is to create a large amount of fog to disrupt the enemy's vision.

The ninjas of Kirigakure learn silent killing techniques from a young age, allowing them to easily gain the upper hand in the mist.

Furthermore, the leader of the wandering ninja pirates is a special Jonin who is skilled in water-style techniques.

In the ninja world, certain environments can enhance the effectiveness of ninjutsu.

For example, water-style ninjas become much stronger when they are in water.

Because there is water nearby, water-style ninjas don't need to consume chakra to create water; they can simply use chakra to draw water.

"trouble."

Seeing this, Rope Tree became somewhat irritated.

"Wait for me."

Xia Mu thought for a moment and said, "It's most likely the Water Release: Mist Concealment Technique used by that pirate captain. I'll go and take him down."

After he finished speaking, he used the weight-enhancing magic, Water Spider, and his entire body instantly sped across the sea at an extremely fast speed.

Although you can walk on water using chakra, there is no speed boost.

Upon reaching the merchant ship, he immediately used Shadow Assassin.

After boarding the deck, Natsuki looked around and quickly spotted the pirate leader.

Although the fog obscured the figures, the fluctuations in chakra could be sensed.

The chakra fluctuations are strongest near the pirate leader.

Xia Mu cautiously approached him.

When he got close enough, he finally saw the pirate leader.

A middle-aged man wearing a Kirigakure headband with a slash on it signifies his status as a rogue ninja.

His opponent was also a middle-aged man, but his strength was clearly inferior, and he was already injured multiple times and could not last long.

Xia Mu no longer hesitated.

He dismissed the Shadow Assassin and immediately grasped Thor's Sword.

Water Breathing - Third Form - Flowing Dance!

Natsuki originally wanted to use Zoro's template ability, but since this is at sea, Water Breathing is essentially a water-style technique, which can benefit from its enhancement.

The next moment, flowing water appeared around him.

As he moved, Thor's Sword swung towards the neck of the pirate leader.

A strong sense of crisis emerged.

The pirate captain's face showed horror.

However, he was a seasoned special jonin, and he reacted extremely quickly, turning around and slashing with his sword.

Xia Mudao had already swung his sword, and under normal circumstances, it would be difficult for him to change direction.

However, he is using Water Breathing - Third Form - Flowing Dance.

Its characteristic is that it can launch attacks from multiple directions.

Xia Mu's Thunder God Sword suddenly spun, dodging the pirate captain's attack and striking his heart instead.

In an instant, blood spurted out.

The pirate captain's eyes widened in surprise.

His eyes were filled with disbelief.

On one hand, it was because of the knife that suddenly changed direction, and on the other hand, it was because he was shocked that he had died at the hands of a child.

The middle-aged man who was fighting the pirate leader was also stunned.

What unfolded before him was an extremely shocking scene.

A child who looked to be seven or eight years old stabbed a special Jonin through the neck with a single blow.

"Am I under an illusion?"

The middle-aged man asked instinctively.

But the rapidly dissipating fog around him told him that this was not an illusion.

With the death of the pirate leader, his Water Release: Mist Concealment Technique could no longer be maintained.

"What's going on?"

"The boss is dead?"

"That's impossible!"

The other wandering ninjas also discovered Natsuki and the pirate captain he had killed as the fog dissipated.

"I am a ninja from Konoha Village."

Xia Mu immediately said to the middle-aged man, "Take care of them first, then we can talk in detail."

"good!"

The middle-aged man, having survived the ordeal, spoke with great excitement.

Breath of Water - Second Form - Waterwheel!

Xia Mu leaped up and charged towards the nearest wandering ninja like a waterwheel.

All that remained in the wandering ninja's vision was the swirling water that resembled flashing blades.

He looked down and saw that his throat had been slit.

Water Breathing - First Form - Water Surface Slash!

Xia Mu turned around and swung the Thor's Sword in his hand.

Before him, a sword-like beam of water precisely sliced ​​open the head of another wandering ninja.

Now that he has four chakra units, he is not afraid of depletion at all. He frequently uses the first three forms of Water Breathing, and for a time, heads roll in.

Not only were the merchant ship's guards stunned, but even Kushina and Nawaki, who had just boarded the ship as the fog dissipated, showed expressions of shock.

"Water Release combined with swordsmanship?"

Tsunade asked in surprise, "Did you teach him? Or did he create it himself?"

"He created it himself."

Orochimaru remarked with a sigh, "I knew he was learning Water Release from Nawaki, but I never expected him to create his own ninjutsu."

"To be able to defeat a special Jonin, this ninjutsu technique is not weak; it's at least B-rank."

Tsunade commented.

"Um."

Orochimaru smiled faintly, quite satisfied, and said, "Natsuki always manages to surprise people."

"The battle is over, let's go down."

Tsunade nodded and said.

With the death of the pirate leader, the wandering ninja suffered a crushing defeat and were quickly dealt with.

"I am Ryoichi, the head of the merchant ship."

A middle-aged man stepped forward and asked, "May I ask your names?"

Orochimaru.

Orochimaru said casually.

"Tsunade."

Tsunade also announced her name.

"They're actually the two top students of the Hokage of Konoha?"

Liang was immediately shocked.

"You know us?"

Tsunade was somewhat surprised and asked.

Although they are famous now, they are mainly based in Konoha Village.

"I am a merchant from the Land of Whirlpools."

Ryoichi explained.

"I see."

After Tsunade finished speaking, her eyes suddenly narrowed.

She noticed that one person in the crowd had an unnatural expression.

Although it only lasted for a fleeting moment before returning to normal, it still didn't escape her notice.

"Thank you all for your help. I am willing to pay the reward for an A-level mission."

Ryoichi said quite consciously.

"Can."

Tsunade did not refuse.

An A-level mission would be a good resume for Xia Mu and his team.

Besides, ninjas are essentially mercenaries, so if you saved them, you should be paid.

"My lords, please take a rest."

Ryoichi raised his hand and said, "Let's clean up the merchant ship."

Orochimaru and Tsunade nodded.

Led by Ryoichi, the group went into the cabin to rest.

"I've noticed something's off about someone."

Tsunade stated directly, "His expression changed when he heard our names, and he's quite strong; he's probably a Jonin."

"This merchant ship comes from the Land of Whirlpools."

A thought struck Natsuki, and he asked, "Could it be a spy ninja who stole information from the Land of Whirlpools or the Uzumaki clan?"

The reason he thought this way was naturally because he knew that the Uzumaki clan was about to be wiped out.

But before exterminating a clan, they would definitely conduct intelligence gathering.

The Uzumaki clan is no ordinary clan; it is a powerful ninja clan on par with the Senju and Uchiha clans.

Without sufficient preparation, it would be difficult to wipe out the Uzumaki clan overnight.

Upon hearing Natsuki's words, everyone's expression changed, especially Kushina Uzumaki, who showed an anxious look.
