Naruto: Fusion of Multiverse Character Templates

Chapter 67 Kushina's Capture (First Update)

The next morning.

Natsuki and Yakushi Nono arrived at the entrance of Konoha Village.

At this moment, a large number of ninjas were already standing orderly in front of the village entrance, waiting for the order to depart.

Needless to say, they were the ninjas sent by Konoha to the Land of Rain.

Xia Mu glanced around and estimated there were several hundred people.

It seems the battle in the Land of Rain is more intense than he imagined.

Just then, his gaze suddenly sharpened as he spotted a girl with long, straight black hair in the crowd—it was Uchiha Mikoto.

Now she has grown into a beautiful and eye-catching young woman.

Xia Mu thought for a moment, then waved to her.

His actions attracted the attention of many people.

Because he is very famous in Konoha Village now, it is no exaggeration to say that he is a leading figure of the next generation.

Mikoto Uchiha was slightly taken aback, somewhat surprised.

But she still walked up to Xia Mu.

"Natsuki, it's been a long time."

A gentle smile appeared on Mikoto Uchiha's face.

That smile completely shattered her previously aloof image.

"Mikoto-senpai, if I had known you were going to the Land of Rain, I would have definitely treated you to a meal beforehand to see you off."

Xia Mu said with some regret.

"You can invite me again when I get back."

"Uchiha Mikoto said softly."

"It's settled then. Come find me when you get back."

Xia Mu nodded and said.

"Um."

Mikoto Uchiha smiled and replied.

Since they were about to depart, she chatted with Xia Mu for a few minutes before returning to the queue.

Natsuki and Yakushi Nonou joined up with Nawaki and the others, and came to Orochimaru and Jiraiya.

Everything that needed to be said had already been said yesterday. Orochimaru and Jiraiya didn't say much more, exchanged greetings, and then led their team away from Konoha Village.

"The village has arrested quite a few spies recently."

Tsunade cautioned, "Although it won't affect you, try to avoid going to remote places during this time."

"Yes, Tsunade-sensei."

Xia Mu knew that the purpose of these spies was to find out the inventor of the red healing potion.

Fortunately, Tsunade stepped in to confuse the public.

Why are there suddenly so many spies?

Rope Tree asked in confusion.

"This indicates that the ninja world is currently in turmoil and the situation is extremely chaotic."

Tsunade said casually.

Xia Mu suddenly had a thought and remembered something.

Will the kidnapping of Kushina Uzumaki be brought forward?

There are two main reasons why he thinks that way.

First, the attack on the Uzumaki clan by the Hidden Cloud Village failed because of the Hidden Leaf Village.

Secondly, many members of the Uzumaki clan are currently residing in Konoha Village.

Xia Mu narrowed his eyes.

This is certainly a possibility.

Although Kushina Uzumaki was kidnapped at a different time in the original work, his appearance has already changed many things.

The butterfly effect might just apply to this situation as well.

"Tsunade-sensei."

Natsuki asked, "If there are spies from Kumogakure and Kirigakure, will they attack Kushina and the others?"

Upon hearing this, Tsunade subconsciously frowned and began to ponder.

"I think it's possible."

Nawaki slammed his fist into his palm and said, "After all, our Konoha Village ruined their plans before."

"Xia Mu is right."

Tsunade nodded and said, "I'll go and inform the teacher in a moment, and ask him to send the Anbu to protect Kushina and the others."

"Thank you, Lady Tsunade."

Kushina Uzumaki immediately said.

"Nawaki, here you go with the greatsword Samehada."

Tsunade took out a scroll and handed it to Nawaki.

"Kushina doesn't want it?"

Rope Tree took the scroll and asked.

"It's so ugly!"

Kushina Uzumaki said without any attempt to hide her feelings.

"That certainly sounds like a reason from you girls."

Rope Tree said with a wry smile, "I'm different. I can become stronger, so I can accept being ugly."

"You should go to school."

Tsunade paused for a moment, then said, "I'll pick you up after school at noon."

Whether it's Nawaki, Natsuki, or Kushina Uzumaki, they all only attend school for half a day now, spending the other half of their time training.

But now, Natsuki mostly sends his shadow clones to school.

"Kushina."

After Tsunade left, Natsuki asked with a smile, "Do you like cats?"

"Why do you ask that?"

Kushina Uzumaki paused for a moment, then said, "Cats are quite cute, especially your cat."

"Since you like it, you can take care of it for me for the time being."

Natsuki then used the Summoning Jutsu to summon the ninja cat, Shirayuki.

"real?"

Kushina Uzumaki cheered and hugged Shirayuki tightly.

"You're already holding me in your arms, how could I possibly lie to you?"

Xia Mu countered with a question.

"Natsuki, are you worried something might happen to Kushina, so you sent Shirayuki with her?"

Rope Tree, blessed with spiritual insight, inquired about the matter.

"That's the idea."

Xia Mu admitted it.

Besides the ninja cat Shirayuki, he also planned to have the crow Kuroba secretly follow Uzumaki Kushina.

One reason is that he didn't want anything to happen to Kushina Uzumaki.

Secondly, the third unlock condition for the ability of the Naruto template is to stop the Hidden Cloud Village from kidnapping Kushina Uzumaki.

Although Natsuki didn't know if the Hidden Cloud Village would kidnap her, it was better to be prepared.

Kushina Uzumaki subconsciously raised her head.

After being reminded by Rope Tree, she finally understood why Natsuki suddenly wanted her to help take care of the cat.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Xia Mu asked with a smile.

"Nothing...nothing at all."

Kushina Uzumaki turned her head away, her face slightly flushed.

"Class is about to start!"

Rope Tree couldn't stand the atmosphere and quickly reminded him loudly.

Minato Namikaze, on the other hand, remained completely calm.

He used to have some feelings for Kushina Uzumaki, but he has long since given up on them.

After all, he could tell that Kushina Uzumaki preferred Natsuki.

Moreover, Xia Mu is also his good friend and is better than him in every way. He doesn't think he has the strength to compete with him, and now he has a normal attitude.

"Let's go."

Xia Mu smiled and said.

Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

Nothing major has happened in Konoha Village in the past two weeks, and no members of the Uzumaki clan have been kidnapped.

However, for safety reasons, Natsuki still did not let Crow Black Feather and Ninja Cat White Snow return.

Since they're back anyway, they won't have any use for anything for the time being, so they might as well follow Kushina Uzumaki.

weekend.

After having breakfast, Kushina Uzumaki bid farewell to Mito Uzumaki and headed to Orochimaru's residence.

She had just stepped out of the Senju clan's territory when she bumped into Natsuki and Minato Namikaze.

"Natsuki!"

Kushina Uzumaki's face lit up with surprise.

But Shirayuki, the ninja cat who was following her from a distance, suddenly stopped.

It sensed that something was wrong.

This Xia Mu doesn't seem to be its leader.

"Kushina."

Natsuki walked up to Kushina Uzumaki.

"What are you doing here—"

Kushina Uzumaki was only halfway through her sentence when Natsuki raised his hand and knocked her unconscious.

Without saying a word, he grabbed her shoulder and fled at top speed.

Minato Namikaze followed closely behind.

"stop!"

Two Konoha ANBU ninjas then appeared.

But just as they were about to give chase, two more ninjas appeared from all sides and blocked their way.

A battle ensued.

The two people disguised as Natsuki and Minato Namikaze were actually ninjas from Kumogakure.

Two weeks ago, they sent the red healing potion and information about the Uzumaki clan back to Kumogakure.

Not long after, they received a reply.

Forget about the red healing potion for now, and capture a member of the Vortex Clan.

After observing for a long time, they finally determined that their target was Kushina Uzumaki.

One reason is that her chakra is very special.

Secondly, it's because she and Tsunade are very close.
