Naruto: Fusion of Multiverse Character Templates

After Kushina and Nawaki returned home, Tsunade, Orochimaru, and Natsuki went to the Anbu.

The situation is urgent, and they cannot afford to rest; they must act immediately.

As one of the five great ninja villages, and the strongest one at that, Konoha Village operates at an incredibly fast pace.

Because of her relationship with the Uzumaki clan, Tsunade became the person in charge of this operation.

She issued many orders, but they can be summarized into three points.

First, after controlling Junpei, send him back to Kirigakure.

If Kirigakure discovers his disappearance, they will definitely know that news of the attack on the Uzumaki clan has been leaked.

Whether the operation is carried out ahead of schedule, postponed, or canceled, it is not a good thing for Konoha Village.

The most terrifying enemy is the one lurking in the shadows.

Secondly, have Mito Uzumaki write a letter and send it to the Uzumaki clan first.

Although Konoha Village and the Uzumaki clan are allies, it would be too abrupt for a group of ninjas to enter the Land of Whirlpools without prior notice.

Third, summon the ninjas who will participate in this action.

To ensure the mission would not fail, Tsunade always chose ninjas who were at least Special Jonin.

This operation was classified as an S-level mission.

All ninjas will receive a substantial reward for successfully completing the mission.

After all the orders were issued, Natsuki and Orochimaru arrived at the Anbu's training ground.

This is where they will meet for this mission.

Tsunade remained in the Anbu, giving orders and waiting.

"teacher."

While waiting, with nothing to do, Xia Mu asked, "Does Konoha Village have the Water Release: Hidden Mist Technique?"

"You want to learn?"

Orochimaru countered with a question.

"Um."

Xia Mu nodded and said, "I think Water Release: Hidden Mist Technique can be quite useful in many situations."

"To maximize the effectiveness of Water Release: Mist Concealment Technique, it must be combined with Silent Assassination Technique."

Orochimaru said calmly, "The art of silent killing is extremely difficult to learn and is very time-consuming."

No wonder that apart from Kirigakure, water-style ninjas from other ninja villages rarely use Water Release: Hidden Mist Technique.

Xia Mu said with a smile, "I don't want to learn the Silent Killing Technique. I want to modify the Water Release: Mist Concealment Technique."

Orochimaru's gaze immediately sharpened.

He forgot that Natsuki, like Tobirama Senju, was a creative ninja.

"You already have an idea?"

Orochimaru asked instinctively.

"There are already three."

Xia Mu held up three fingers.

Smoker's template has five abilities, but three of them are quite similar and can be categorized as one idea.

"...?"

Orochimaru's lips twitched involuntarily.

Didn't you just see the Water Release: Hidden Mist Technique for the first time a couple of days ago?

How did I come up with three ideas?

Even if he and Hiruzen Sarutobi wanted to create ninjutsu, it was impossible for them to come up with three suitable ideas in just two days.

Orochimaru suddenly understood Hiruzen Sarutobi.

He is now both surprised and gratified.

"Wait here, I'm going to the Hokage Building."

Orochimaru snapped out of his daze and walked outside.

When he returned, he had a ninjutsu scroll in his hand, namely Water Release: Hidden Mist Technique.

Xia Mu took the ninjutsu scroll and started reading it.

After all, the second ability of Smoker's template is unlocked by learning Water Release: Mist Concealment Technique.

Fortunately, the Water Release: Hidden Mist Technique is not difficult; its learning difficulty is only D-rank.

While Natsuki was waiting to learn, ninjas began to arrive at the Anbu training ground.

They were all ninjas who had been notified by the Anbu to participate in this mission.

After greeting Orochimaru, he stood still and waited.

But many people's eyes were drawn to Xia Mu.

He was the only child there, which made him stand out.

They all guessed his identity; he was most likely Orochimaru's student, Natsuki.

Is it really appropriate for a third-grade child to participate in an S-level mission?

Time passed slowly.

The number of ninjas at the Anbu training grounds increased until Tsunade and Jiraiya arrived.

"Ninjas from the Inuzuka, Aburame, and Hyuga clans are responsible for guarding the area."

Tsunade walked up to the group and instructed them, "This operation must be carried out without alerting any enemy village ninjas."

The Inuzuka clan has ninja dogs, the Aburame clan has insects, and the Hyuga clan has the Byakugan. All three clans are born sensory ninjas.

"yes!"

Everyone answered in unison.

"Set off!"

Tsunade waved her hand and leaped into the air.

The group followed her toward the Land of Whirlpools.

The Land of Whirlpools is a small peninsula country located between the Land of Fire and the Land of Water.

It has a very special feature: the daimyo of the Land of Whirlpools is also from the Whirlpool clan.

Under normal circumstances, the ninja world operates on a system of one country and one village.

The daimyo of a country nominally commands the ninjas of a village.

The Land of Whirlpools is an exception.

This also demonstrates the power of the Uzumaki clan.

The emergence of Jinchuriki further made the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques famous throughout the ninja world.

Possessing a treasure is a crime, which made it a target of the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Mist Village.

If the Hidden Cloud Village was purely for sealing techniques, then the Hidden Mist Village was for more than just sealing techniques.

If Kirigakure wants to attack Konoha, it cannot bypass the Uzumaki clan.

The Uzumaki clan can be considered the bridgehead for Konoha Village to resist Kirigakure Village.

If they can eliminate it, then Kirigakure will be one less obstacle.

Two days later, Natsuki and the others successfully arrived in the Land of Whirlpools.

The first patriarch of the Uzumaki clan was named Uzumaki Ashina. He was a close friend of Senju Hashirama, and thus formed an alliance with the Senju clan.

Hashirama Senju even married Mito Uzumaki and incorporated the Uzumaki clan's crest into the village crest of Konoha.

The current head of the Uzumaki clan is Uzumaki Ashina's son, Uzumaki Keisuke.

"Chief Keisuke, it's been a long time."

Tsunade greeted her with a smile.

"Welcome."

Keisuke Uzumaki sighed, "If it weren't for your timely notification, we wouldn't have known that disaster was imminent."

"Your Uzumaki clan and our Konoha Village are allies; this is what we should do."

Tsunade paused for a moment, then said, "Enough with the pleasantries, we must get to the arrangements as soon as possible."

"you're right."

Keisuke Uzumaki nodded and said.

He made arrangements quickly.

He told the other ninjas of Konoha to go rest, and then he led Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade to the council hall.

Although Natsuki was Orochimaru's student, he was young and exhausted from traveling for two days, so he did not participate.

After he finished eating, he fell asleep.

In the afternoon, the Uzumaki clan got busy.

However, to avoid alerting the enemy, only a small number of trustworthy ninjas were on the move.

Their actions had two aspects.

One is to establish a defensive barrier.

Another is to set traps.

Xia Mu naturally didn't need to do these things.

He stayed in his room to learn the Water Release: Mist Concealment Technique.

However, he didn't study for very long.

A week later, in the dead of night, the Hyuga clan on the beach discovered the approaching ninjas from Kumogakure and Kirigakure.
