Naruto: Fusion of Multiverse Character Templates

After Natsuki dealt with the Hidden Mist Village's special Jonin, he nodded to Inuzuka Jax and then used Shadow Assassin.

We are currently in the midst of a battle, so it's not advisable to discuss this further.

He immediately went to find his next target.

Under the cover of night, and with the unexpected attacks of the shadow assassins, it was difficult for any ninja other than the Jonin to react.

But after killing three special Jonin and five Chunin in a row, Natsuki finally attracted attention.

"You brat!"

A sharp, piercing wind began to blow.

Natsuki, who had just dispelled the Shadow Assassin and was about to kill the Cloud Village Chunin in front of him, immediately sensed danger.

Breath of Water - Second Form - Waterwheel!

He turned his body and unleashed a spinning slash with Thor's Sword at the enemy behind him.

With a clang!

Thor's sword struck a large, axe-like blade.

Xia Mu felt a jolt in his body and involuntarily stepped back.

"Looks like I'm lucky; I've met a super genius."

The owner of the greatsword was a young ninja wearing a ninja hat.

He was surprised and excited when he saw Xia Mu block his knife.

Killing a genius from an enemy village is something to celebrate.

Xia Mu recognized him at a glance.

Kusano Yaito, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

His ninja sword is called the blunt sword Kabuto, but although it's called a ninja sword, it's actually an axe and a hammer.

"Go to hell!"

Tongcao Yeren grinned and raised the hammer in his right hand.

The hammer struck the back of his blade, and an irresistible force traveled along the blade towards Xia Mu.

Gravity-enhancing magic: Gravity Reduction!

Xia Mu did not choose to confront him head-on, but instantly increased his speed to the maximum.

He sheathed Thor's sword and retreated like a ghost.

When his power failed, Tongcao Yeren immediately felt uncomfortable.

But as a Jonin, his speed was in no way slower than Natsuki's.

He stomped on the ground, and as the ground cracked, he chased after it.

Before he even got close to Xia Mu, he threw his axe.

The axe had a chain attached to its hammer.

Breath of Water - Fourth Form - Tide of Strike!

Xia Mu gripped the Thor's Sword with both hands and unleashed a strike capable of shattering the tide.

The axe was struck by Thor's sword and flew back immediately.

"What a clever kid!"

Seeing this, the man from Tongcaoye became even more excited.

Given Xia Mu's age and strength, he is bound to be a key talent cultivated in Konoha Village.

If we can kill him, it will be like cutting off a pillar of Konoha's future.

The man with quick eyes and hands grabbed the axe.

With a flick of his wrist, he dissipated the force.

At the same time, he used the Instantaneous Movement Technique to appear in front of Xia Mu.

The axe cleaved through the air, aimed at his head.

Projection magic!

A heavy black pot appeared in front of Xia Mu.

Tongcao Yeren sneered and smashed the back of the knife with the hammer.

The projected black pot was split in two.

But Xia Mu, who was behind the scapegoat, has disappeared without a trace.

Tongcao Yeren immediately looked down at the ground and, sure enough, saw a shadow.

Without saying a word, he threw both the axe and the hammer.

boom!

The ground cracked and crumbled into dust.

Tongcao Yeren blinked and saw a sharp blade of light rushing towards him.

His heart tightened, and in that critical moment, he instinctively veered to the left.

The blade missed its mark.

Xia Mu also appeared in front of him.

Without hesitation, Tongcao Yeyanren swung his axe.

Xia Mu thought to himself, "What a pity."

His One-Sword Style, Iaijutsu, and Lion's Lament did not work.

The reason is that Tongcao Yeren had already seen his shadow assassin and was on guard.

The black pot has reappeared.

Taking this opportunity, Xia Mu distanced himself from Tongcao Yeren.

Tongcao Yeren touched his right cheek, still faintly feeling the sharp glint of the blade.

If he hadn't reacted quickly, and if he hadn't known about the Shadow Assassin, he would definitely have been injured.

"A genius like you is even more unacceptable to be allowed to live!"

Tongcao Yeren, wielding an axe, charged at Xia Mu once again.

Xia Mu raised Thor's Sword to meet the attack.

In an instant, blades flashed everywhere.

However, Xia Mu was at a significant disadvantage.

Whether in strength or speed, he is inferior to Kusanagi Yato.

In swordsmanship, he can barely hold his own by using the breathing technique of water.

His only advantage was his ability to act as a shadow assassin, which allowed him to avoid several fatal crises.

However, this sole advantage did not last long.

After all, Kusanagi no Erin was a Jonin.

Becoming a Jonin means mastering at least two ninjutsu.

He quickly discovered the Shadow Assassin's weakness.

Tongcao Yeyuren seized the opportunity and suddenly accelerated.

After he reached Xia Mu, he swung his axe down.

With a clang!

Xia Mu blocked his axe with Thor's Sword.

Tongcao Yeren was not surprised and immediately released his hands.

His hammer and axe flew out at the same time, and the chain in the middle was straightened, as if a rope had wrapped around Xia Mu.

Gravity-enhancing magic: Gravity Reduction!

Xia Mu leaped up and avoided the chain.

Water Release: Water Prison Technique!

Just then, Tongcao Yeren formed a hand seal and extended his hand.

A stream of water quickly enveloped Xia Mu.

Xia Mu's body stiffened, and he was unable to move.

"Can you still blend into the shadows now?"

The man from Tongcaoye asked smugly.

He maintained the water prison with his right hand, while simultaneously grabbing the axe with his left.

The axe fell, splashing water everywhere.

The first thing to break was the water-filled cage, which allowed Xia Mu to escape.

But the axe was already within reach, and he had no time to use any secret techniques or ninjutsu, including those of the Shadow Assassin.

A smile appeared on Tongcao Yeren's face.

He could almost see Xia Mu's gushing blood before his eyes.

But the next second, his axe suddenly struck a cloud of smoke.

"What?"

Tongcao Yeren's expression froze; he had no idea what had happened.

The smoke that Xia Mu had transformed into detached itself from his axe in that instant and immediately reformed.

Without hesitation, he raised his hand and unleashed the Unsystematic Magic: Illusionary Charge.

Tongcao Yeyan felt a sudden dizziness and froze on the spot.

He was a Jonin, and he broke free from that state in an instant.

But when he regained consciousness, all he saw was the flash of blades.

He instinctively covered his neck.

A large amount of blood gushed out from between his fingers.

His face was filled with disbelief.

Having dominated the ninja world for many years, he never imagined he would die in this way.

He stared wide-eyed, then collapsed.

He didn't close his eyes until he lost consciousness.

This is probably what is meant by dying with eyes wide open.

Xia Mu plopped down on the ground, panting heavily, feeling as if he had just escaped a disaster.

As I said before, ninja warfare is intelligence warfare.

Tongcao Yeren only guarded against his shadow assassin, but not against his Logia-type Smoke Fruit.

Just when he thought victory was assured, Xia Mu used the Logia-type Smoke-Smoke Fruit to turn the tables and defeat him.
