Naruto: Fusion of Multiverse Character Templates

Chapter 80 Tsunade: Let's Sleep Together (First and Second Updates)

Under the cover of night, the Sarutobi clan's encampment was brightly lit and bustling with activity.

Today is the seventh day since Sarutobi Asuma was born.

Natsuki followed Orochimaru and Tsunade to their seats, but did not sit at the same table as them.

He, Nawaki, Minato Namikaze, Kushina Uzumaki, and Nono Yakushi sat at the same table, commonly known as the children's table.

Besides them, there were also Uzumaki Kaori, Nara Shikaku, Akimichi Choza, and Yamanaka Inoichi, among others.

Natsuki looked around and, with Nawaki's enthusiastic introduction, got to know many of the characters from the original work.

For example, Fugaku Uchiha, Hiashi Hyuga, Kurenai Yuhi, Koharu Utatane, and Homura Mitokado.

Just as the Seven Nights Banquet was about to begin, he saw Shimura Danzo.

The current Guo Ying differs from his appearance in the original work; he doesn't yet possess the Sharingan, nor is he disabled.

Danzo Shimura's gaze swept around.

Upon seeing Natsuki, Yakushi Nonou, and the others, he paused slightly, his expression changing.

But he quickly returned to normal.

Clearly, he was not at peace.

The more famous Natsuki and Yakushi Nonou became, the more he felt regret.

If they had joined Root back then, Root's strength would definitely be even greater now.

But unfortunately not if.

He couldn't do anything about Natsuki and Yakushi Nono for the time being.

Unless he becomes Hokage.

However, this is also a delusion.

Danzo Shimura knew very well that the next Hokage would be chosen from among Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade.

Even if he were shameless enough to compete, he still couldn't beat them.

"He is Shimura Danzo, the leader of Root. Root belongs to the Dark Guard, but it is not under the jurisdiction of the Dark Guard."

Rope Tree explained, "The roots have a terrible reputation; they're wicked and do all sorts of evil. You should avoid contact with them unless absolutely necessary."

"I see."

Xia Mu nodded slightly.

Yakushi Nonou subconsciously looked at him.

She remembered that when she took the root test at the Konoha Orphanage, Natsuki had told her to hide her talent.

At that time, she didn't understand why she did it, but now she understands it all.

Fortunately, she listened to them at the time; otherwise, she would have joined Root and lived a completely different life.

As Yakushi Nonou thought of this, the tenderness in her eyes deepened.

Just then, Hiruzen Sarutobi stepped out.

With him were Sarutobi Biwako and Sarutobi Asuma in her arms.

A phrase suddenly popped into Xia Mu's mind: "still vigorous in old age."

Because Hiruzen Sarutobi is now 42 years old, while Biwako Sarutobi is one year younger, at 41.

Their age can be described as having a child late in life.

Xia Mu is truly a role model for us all.

Hiruzen Sarutobi said a few words and then announced the official start of the Seven Nights Banquet.

Xia Mu finished his dinner while chatting with Nawaki and the others.

Night was falling.

After the Seven Nights Banquet ended, Xia Mu and the others went home.

The next day, Orochimaru greeted them and returned to the Land of Rain.

Two days later, Jiraiya suddenly appeared in front of them.

After exchanging pleasantries, he took Minato Namikaze away, saying he would be teaching him alone for a while.

Xia Mu guessed that he was going to teach Namikaze Minato the legendary ninjutsu, the Flying Thunder God Technique.

But Jiraiya didn't teach for very long; he left in less than two months.

Due to the sudden change in the battlefield situation in the Land of Rain, Konoha Village ultimately had no choice but to engage in a three-way battle with Amegakure and Sunagakure.

However, the addition of Konoha Village actually reduced the intensity of the battle in the Land of Rain.

After all, in a three-way battle, if two sides fight too fiercely, it's easy for the third party to gain an advantage.

December has arrived.

After the final exams of the second semester for Class A in Grade 4, winter break began.

Xia Mu also successfully unlocked a new ability.

[Congratulations, host, for unlocking Tanjiro Kamado's template ability five: Water Breathing - Pick-up Form - Life Flow.]

Natsuki has had the Tanjiro Kamado template for over a year, almost two years.

Now all the abilities have finally been unlocked.

But he didn't rush to experiment with the Water Breathing, Pick-up Form, and Life Flow.

Xia Mu took a deep breath and activated Water Breathing - Full Concentration - Normal Mode.

In an instant, he felt a change in his body.

With each breath, he had the illusion that his body was becoming stronger.

It's not actually an illusion.

Water Breathing - Total Concentration - Constant Concentration means that he can maintain a fully concentrated breathing pattern throughout the day.

This is equivalent to him always having his Water Breathing technique on, never turning it off.

Over time, his body will gradually become stronger.

Xia Mu touched his chin.

After the Kamado Tanjiro template was completely integrated, he had one less thing to worry about.

He no longer needs to spend time training in Water Breathing and Water Release Chakra Nature Transformation.

Next, we should unlock the Kirito and Sasaki Kojiro templates.

You can unlock the second ability, Superb Reaction Ability, of Kirito's template first.

After all, exceptional reaction speed is very useful in battle.

Looks like I'll have to go out on a mission.

"Natsuki."

Just then, Tsunade's voice reached him.

Xia Mu came to her senses and walked into the courtyard.

"Sis, is there a new mission?"

Rope Tree asked with an expectant look on his face.

He asked that question because Tsunade had called them over as soon as she returned.

Previously, this situation occurred because she had accepted tasks for them.

"There is a mission, but it has nothing to do with you."

Tsunade shook her head and said, "I'm only taking Natsuki with me on this mission."

Why?

Nawaki immediately exclaimed, "In terms of swordsmanship alone, I'm already qualified to take the Special Jonin Exams!"

"I am well aware of your capabilities."

Tsunade explained, "This mission is to the Land of Rain. The battlefield is chaotic, and your strength is not enough."

"Hasn't Natsuki not graduated yet? Why would they send him to the Land of Rain?"

Rope Tree paused for a moment, then asked.

Kushina Uzumaki and Nono Yakushi also showed signs of worry.

As for Minato Namikaze, he has been learning the Flying Thunder God Technique from Hiruzen Sarutobi during this time.

Jiraiya was on the battlefield in the Land of Rain, so he couldn't teach him.

Even Tsunade couldn't teach him the Flying Thunder God Technique; in the end, Hiruzen Sarutobi had to teach him, or rather, guide him.

"Natsuki is already comparable to a Jonin, and he is qualified to go even to the Land of Rain."

Tsunade paused for a moment, then said, "Our mission this time is to deliver logistical supplies to the Land of Rain and, incidentally, bring back a seriously ill ninja."

"hateful!"

Nawaki clenched his fist and said, "I also want to reach Jonin strength as soon as possible!"

"In reality, I'm not even a genin."

Xia Mu blinked and said.

"That's true."

Tsunade couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this.

In this respect, Natsuki can be considered a unique figure in the history of Konoha Village.

He clearly had the strength of a Jonin, but he didn't even graduate from the Ninja Academy.

"At a time like this, why are you still joking?"

Kushina Uzumaki, hands on her hips, said, "The Land of Rain is a battlefield; you must be careful!"

"With Tsunade-sensei here, everything will be alright."

Xia Mu reached out and pinched her cheek.

Kushina Uzumaki gave a soft hum, but didn't say anything more.

"Alright, Xia Mu, go and get ready. We'll set off this afternoon."

Tsunade patted Kushina Uzumaki's head and said.

"Um."

Xia Mu didn't need to prepare anything.

He hopes to encounter a few special Jonin or Jonin during missions to unlock his abilities.

It was afternoon.

After saying goodbye to Kushina Uzumaki and the others, Natsuki left with Tsunade.

"The supplies sent to the Land of Rain this time mainly consist of red and blue healing potions."

Tsunade spoke up, saying, "Besides that, there are also ninja tools and food."

Xia Mu nodded.

It did not surprise him that the two medicines he invented became logistical supplies.

With medical ninjas scarce and battlefield injuries commonplace, medicine naturally became a top priority.

"The reason I asked you to come with me is because only you and I know how to make red healing potions."

Tsunade added.

"Are we going to stay in the Land of Rain for a while?"

Xia Mu realized what was happening and asked.

"Um."

Tsunade replied, "We need to make a batch of red healing potion before we leave."

Xia Mu didn't seem to mind.

After all, he has more time to unlock the abilities of the character template.

Upon arriving at the entrance of Konoha Village, a group of ninjas were already waiting.

"Lady Tsunade."

A boy with white eyes stepped forward and said, "All the supplies have arrived; nothing has been missed."

"Thank you for your hard work, Hijiri."

Tsunade nodded, waved her hand, and shouted, "Let's go!"

Natsuki glanced at Hyuga Hizashi subconsciously.

He was Hiashi Hyuga's younger brother, but his ending was rather tragic.

The ninjas of Kumogakure kidnapped Hinata Hyuga, but were discovered by Hiashi Hyuga, who killed him on the spot.

As a result, Kumogakure turned on them and forced Konoha to hand over the culprit.

To prevent Kumogakure from waging war against Konoha, Hyuga Hizashi ultimately took Hyuga Hiashi's place in death.

"Hello, I am Hyuga Hizashi."

Hyuga Hizashi looked at Natsuki and said.

"I'm Natsuki, Hizashi-senpai, it's nice to meet you."

Xia Mu responded immediately.

"Although I am your senior, in terms of strength, I may not be able to compare with you."

Hinata Hizashi said with a smile.

Natsuki is now extremely famous in Konoha Village, so he naturally knows a lot about his deeds.

For example, he defeated Mifune, the samurai leader of the Land of Iron.

Natsuki felt that Hyuga Hizashi was not as repressed or cold as he was in the original work.

It's probably because he's still young and his relationship with Hiashi Hyuga hasn't broken down yet.

"I've never played before, so the outcome is uncertain."

Xia Mu casually said, "I'm very interested in Byakugan and Gentle Fist. We can spar and exchange ideas sometime."

Although Hyuga Hizashi is young, he is quite strong; he is now practically a special Jonin.

In other words, the conditions for unlocking character template abilities must be met.

"no problem."

Hyuga Hizashi agreed.

Unlike the Uchiha clan, the Hyuga clan, while proud, knows how to assess situations.

At least on the surface, the Naruto lineage has always been the one being supported.

Natsuki is a ninja from the Hokage lineage, so of course he wouldn't offend him.

The Land of Rain borders the Land of Fire, located in the northwest of the Land of Fire.

The group carried supplies and headed northwest.

By evening, we had successfully reached the border.

Tsunade did not rush to enter the Land of Rain.

The Land of Rain is currently at war, and they could encounter battle at any time after entering.

They had been traveling for a day and did not have enough energy to fight.

Tsunade immediately ordered them to set up camp on the spot and rest for one night before setting off again.

"Tsunade-sensei, which tent will I sleep in?"

Xia Mu looked around and asked.

"You'll sleep with me."

Tsunade said casually.

"what?"

Xia Mu was stunned.

"What? Are you shy?"

Tsunade asked jokingly, "What does it matter since we're all sleeping in sleeping bags anyway?"

I am happy.

Xia Mu coughed lightly and said.

"Looks like I'm still quite charming."

Tsunade smiled and said.

"Of course!"

Natsuki immediately exclaimed, "Tsunade-sensei, in my heart you've always been the greatest beauty of Konoha!"

"Not bad, not bad, you're still so good at talking, I like it."

Tsunade was even happier to hear this.

She grabbed Xia Mu and headed towards the tent.

Xia Mu bumped into her soft embrace, feeling a fragrant scent filling the air.

He opened his eyes and could only see her clothes and her undulating skin.

Once inside the tent, he was finally able to breathe fresh air.

"convenient."

Tsunade plopped down on the carpet and said.

Xia Mu sat opposite her, took out a bento box from the shadow space, and handed it to her.

Every time he went out on a mission, Tsunade would eat his lunch, and he was already used to it.

"Why is it that after studying for so long, my cooking skills still can't compare to yours?"

Tsunade took a bite of the fried shrimp, chewing it with an expression of enjoyment.

"Your cooking skills are already very good."

Xia Mu casually remarked, "The only way to improve further is through comprehension."

"Why do you make it sound like you're improving your strength?"

Tsunade said lazily, "Never mind, I'm already very satisfied. There's no need to improve my cooking skills."

After finishing her meal, she handed the empty lunchbox to Xia Mu.

Xia Mu stood up, preparing to wash.

He had barely taken a step when he witnessed an astonishing scene.

Tsunade's mature body fell backward, and after hitting the carpet, she swayed twice.

Xia Mu felt a chill run down his spine.

He turned and walked out.

After he finished washing the lunchbox, Tsunade became even more unladylike and casually lay down on the carpet.

"Don't you need a sleeping bag?"

Xia Mu asked.

"The sleeping bag is too narrow and uncomfortable to sleep in."

Tsunade waved her hand and said, "You can use it."

"Were you always this casual? This doesn't look like you're on a mission."

Xia Mu asked curiously.

Where?

Tsunade glared at him and said, "Kid, don't slander me. I only relax a little in front of you and Nawaki."

Xia Mu thought about it carefully and realized that she did indeed have the demeanor of a ninja when she carried out the mission.

Of course, in the original work, this was all just her disguise.

This is who she truly is now.

No wonder only Orochimaru participated in the competition for the Fourth Hokage.

Jiraiya was always looking for the child of prophecy, Tsunade had absolutely no interest in becoming Hokage, and only Orochimaru was somewhat willing.

But his willingness was not high.

He competed for the position of Fourth Hokage in order to make it easier to conduct experiments.

Now that Rope Tree is still alive, it's hard to say.
