Naruto: Fusion of Multiverse Character Templates

Chapter 90 The Biguslo Template (Third and Fourth Updates)

"Tsunade."

Sakumo Hatake said in a deep voice, "Now that the Sunagakure puppet army is leaderless, I think we can press our advantage."

The puppet army of Sunagakure was naturally more than just four Jonin.

As a unit, they numbered quite a few, thirty people.

The two leaders, Chiyo's son and daughter-in-law, along with twenty-eight members, formed seven ninja squads.

After a moment's thought, Tsunade nodded.

Sakumo Hatake brought five ninja squads with him on this mission to block the puppet forces of Sunagakure.

Including her and Team 1, that makes six ninja squads, totaling twenty-four people.

However, the Sunagakure puppet army has lost its core four Jonin, including two of its leaders.

In comparison, they actually have the advantage.

Especially Hatake Sakumo.

His swordsmanship was fast, accurate, and ruthless, making most ninjas easy prey with a single strike.

Stylistically, it's like Minato Namikaze learning the Flying Thunder God Technique.

"In order to lure you into a trap without us discovering you, the Sunagakure puppet army deliberately sent out many members to mislead us."

Sakumo Hatake took out a map and said, "They're all in this place now."

"Didn't you alert them when you came to provide support?"

Tsunade glanced at it and asked.

"No, I deliberately brought a small team to avoid them."

Sakumo Hatake explained, "After all, if we alert them, they'll hold us back."

"Let's not delay, let's set off now!"

Tsunade immediately responded upon hearing this.

"Tsunade, you take them first. I'll go back and inform the others so we can form a pincer movement."

After handing the map to Tsunade, Hatake Sakumo disappeared from the spot at an extremely fast speed.

"Does anyone among you know Earth Release ninjutsu?"

Tsunade didn't rush to leave. She said, "Disrupt the terrain here so that others can't see the specific situation."

"I can."

A middle-aged ninja stepped forward and immediately formed hand seals.

Earth Release: Earth Splitting Palm!

He slammed his palm into the ground, causing it to crack and the terrain to change instantly.

"Walk!"

Tsunade glanced at them, then waved her hand and said.

Sakumo Hatake brought four Jonin with him to provide support this time.

Adding Tsunade, Natsuki, Nawaki, and Yakushi Nono, that makes eight ninjas.

Natsuki, who was following behind Tsunade, suddenly let out a soft "Eh."

His Starburst Stream Slash requires defeating three Fire Release Jonin to unlock.

We've already defeated one in the Rain Country, so we're at one-third complete.

But he just discovered that the progress was already two-thirds complete.

What's going on?

Among the four puppeteers who were just defeated, there was a Fire Release Jonin.

Natsuki suddenly remembered that one of the puppets used by Chiyo's son could breathe fire.

Could it be that he is skilled in Fire Release techniques?

Regardless, this is ultimately a good thing.

This means that Natsuki only needs to defeat one more Fire Release Jonin to unlock the Starburst Stream Slash.

And we might encounter them in the upcoming battles.

The group sped along and soon arrived at their destination, the temporary base of the Sunagakure puppeteers' unit.

"It seems they haven't been discovered yet."

Tsunade stopped in her tracks, not rushing forward to attack.

She was waiting for Sakumo Hatake and the others to arrive.

They are not far away.

The sound of wind breaking rang out.

Sakumo Hatake and the other Konoha ninja arrived just in time.

However, their commotion was too great and was immediately noticed by the Sunagakure puppeteers.

"Let's do it!"

Upon seeing this, Tsunade immediately rushed forward.

"Enemy attack!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a ninja from the Sunagakure puppeteer unit shouted loudly.

In an instant, a number of ninjutsu techniques were unleashed.

There are Wind Release, Earth Release, and Fire Release, but generally speaking, Earth Release is the most common.

Although the puppeteers of Sunagakure are skilled at manipulating puppets, it doesn't mean they can't use ninjutsu.

Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!

Nawaki and the others immediately unleashed their ninjutsu and began exchanging blows.

Sakumo Hatake then drew his White Fang Blade, moving with lightning speed and disappearing from the spot.

The next second, screams rang out.

Xia Mu immediately locked onto the puppeteer who had used fire-style techniques.

Shadow space.

His body disappeared into the shadows.

The shadow quickly approached the fire-style puppeteer.

Upon reaching it, he leaped up and grasped the projected image of Kurosawa in his hand.

Breathing of Water, Form of Gathering, Flow of Life!

Kurosawa slashed at the Fire Release Puppet Master.

The nearby rainwater was drawn in and transformed into a water dragon, which fell from the sky.

The Fire Release Puppet Master's expression changed drastically; he hadn't expected Xia Mu to suddenly appear.

At the critical moment of life and death, he flicked his hands, and his puppet met the water dragon.

boom!

Kurosawa, carrying the water dragon, shattered his puppet into pieces and, with undiminished momentum, crashed into the fire-style puppeteer.

The Fire Release Puppet Master was immediately sent flying backward.

His face was deathly pale, and he felt as if his body had been struck by a stroke of bad luck, and his whole body ached.

Fortunately, his puppet shielded him from most of the damage.

The Fire Release Puppet Master steadied himself and immediately formed hand seals.

He spat out a huge fireball.

Rain fell on the fireball, instantly creating a mist.

Water Breathing - Seventh Form - Shizuku Ripple Strike!

Xia Mu grabbed Kurosawa and charged forward.

A huge ripple appeared as Kurosawa struck the fireball.

When water and fire collide, more mist is produced.

Xia Mu's body disappeared into the mist.

The Fire Release Puppet Master stared intently at the sound of the explosion, and with a flick of his hands, produced a new puppet.

But after the explosion subsided, apart from a little fog, he did not see Xia Mu.

The Fire Release Puppet Master was momentarily stunned.

The next second, a spiral column of smoke suddenly appeared from the mist and bound him.

The Fire Release Puppet Master struggled, but to no avail.

This is precisely the power from the Logia-type Smoke-Smoke Fruit, White Vine.

Xia Mu's right arm solidified again and knocked him unconscious.

He then removed the white veil and recovered his body.

[Congratulations, host, you have unlocked Kirito Kazuto's template ability four: Starburst Stream Slash.]

very good!

They arrived just in time.

Xia Mu nodded in satisfaction.

At this point, his Kirito template is only missing ability five to unlock.

The fifth ability is Eclipse, which is essentially an enhanced version of Starburst Stream Slash. Its unlock condition is to defeat a battlefield commander.

Xia Mu seemed to be deep in thought.

Theoretically speaking, Chiyo's son and daughter-in-law are also battlefield commanders, but they haven't unlocked the Eclipse.

It seems that because the number of people was too small, it could only be considered a battle, not a battlefield.

Without giving it much thought, Xia Mu grabbed Kurosawa and threw himself back into the battle.

Although the Sunagakure puppeteers' forces were very strong, they were still no match for Sakumo Hatake and Tsunade.

Most importantly, they lost two leaders, leaving them without command, which ultimately led to their defeat.

"Sakumo, take inventory of the battlefield."

Tsunade let out a breath and said, "I'll take the medical ninjas to treat the wounded."

Sakumo Hatake nodded.

He immediately ordered the other ninjas to begin cleaning up the battlefield.

Natsuki, Nawaki, and Yakushi Nonou were probably not assigned to him because they were too young.

The three people gathered together, each appearing somewhat dazed.

Nawaki and Yakushi Nono were experiencing such a large-scale battle for the first time, so they were momentarily stunned.

Xia Mu had another reason: he awakened a new character template.

[You have awakened the Bigusro template.]

Although Xia Mu had read many works, he couldn't remember who he was for the time being.

However, he was certain that it was related to the puppeteer.

After all, he defeated quite a few puppeteers tonight.

This also included Chiyo's son and daughter-in-law.

Name: Biguslo.

[Period: A Century-Long Mission.]

[World: Fairy Tail.]

[Rank: A]

[Ability 1: Star Chart Magic - Puppet Possession, unlocked.]

[Effect: Summons five puppets, infusing a portion of the soul into them for remote control. With sufficient chakra, it can be summoned infinitely.]

[Ability 2: Puppet Linear Formation, not yet unlocked.]

[Effect: Five puppets line up in a straight line and unleash a penetrating slashing beam.]

[Unlock condition: Defeat five genin.]

[Ability 3: Puppet X Formation, not yet unlocked.]

[Effect: Five puppets form an X shape, creating a high-strength defensive barrier.]

[Unlock condition: Defeat five Chunin.]

[Ability 4: Puppet Victory Formation, not yet unlocked.]

[Effect: Five puppets form a V-shape, unleashing a wide-area impact and cutting attack.]

[Unlock condition: Defeat five special Jonin.]

[Ability 5: Puppet - Heavy Particle Formation, not yet unlocked.]

[Effect: Five puppets form a pentagonal formation and fire powerful lasers, causing devastating damage.]

[Unlock condition: Defeat five Jonin.]

[Sixth Ability: Shaped Eyes, Not Yet Unlocked.]

[Effect: By making eye contact with the target, you can control their soul, turning them into a puppet. The duration of control depends on the strength of both parties.]

[Unlock condition: Learn five control-type ninjutsu.]

It turns out to be a character from Fairy Tail.

Xia Mu remembered that the five dolls summoned by Bigus had names: Pipi, Bobo, Papa, Beibei, and Bubu.

These five puppets have no real combat ability and must be controlled and commanded by the user.

In this respect, Bigusro is no different from the puppeteers of Sunagakure.

The only difference is that one controls a puppet, and the other controls a doll.

Ability 1: Star Chart Magic - Puppet Possession.

Its effect is self-evident: it summons five puppets.

Compared to the puppeteers of Sunagakure, its biggest advantage is that the puppets can be summoned infinitely.

In other words, Natsuki doesn't need to worry about what to do if the doll is destroyed.

Abilities two through five all consist of formations made up of puppets, each playing a corresponding role.

In terms of effectiveness, it has both offensive and defensive capabilities.

Judging from the unlocking requirements, the power is obviously increasing from small to large, with ability five being the most powerful.

It has to be said that the requirements for unlocking these four abilities are quite interesting.

The task requires defeating five genin, chunin, special jonin, and jonin respectively.

For Natsuki now, defeating five Jonin would undoubtedly be quite troublesome.

However, on the other hand, the unlock conditions for defeating five Jonin and other character templates overlap.

For example, the solar eclipse in the Kiritani Kazuto template, and the Mind's Eye and Swallow Return in the Sasaki Kojiro template.

In addition to that, there is another problem.

With his current strength, it would be shameless for him to challenge genin and chunin.

Natsuki's heart skipped a beat as he thought of the upcoming Chunin Exams.

The participants in the Chunin Exams must all be Genin.

In fact, many genin are already as strong as chunin, but I don't know if the system counts them.

However, it doesn't matter if you don't qualify. We are currently in the Second Shinobi World War, so it's not particularly difficult to meet the unlocking conditions mentioned above.

Sixth ability: shaping eyes.

This was an unexpected surprise for Xia Mu.

His first reaction upon seeing it was that it was a low-quality Sharingan.

The Sharingan can also cast genjutsu (illusionary techniques) through vision to control targets.

Compared to the Sharingan, the Shapeshifting Eye lacks the copying and insight effects.

But it has one advantage.

The Sharingan is very distinctive; when activated, tomoe (comma-shaped markings) appear.

There's no eye-catching design.

It's pretty sinister anyway.

Its requirement is to learn five control-type ninjutsu.

Control-type ninjutsu often refers to genjutsu (illusionary techniques).

However, besides genjutsu, there are also many other control-type ninjutsu.

For example, the Nara clan's Shadow Technique, Water Release: Water Prison Technique, and Earth Release: Heart Decapitation Technique.

Xia Mu knows two illusion techniques.

One is the Fox Demon Technique based on the Seven Treasures template, and the other is the D-rank Magical Technique of Naraku's Appearance, which he learned on his own.

How so?

Learning a few control-type ninjutsu is very helpful.

After all, his teammates Nawaki and Yakushi Nonou do not know any control-type ninjutsu.

"How are you feeling?"

Xia Mu snapped out of his daze and asked.

"I'm fine."

Rope Tree took a deep breath; he had already adjusted.

Yakushi Nonou didn't speak, she just shook her head.

Her face was still pale, clearly she was still shaken.

"There's nothing we can do about it; we just have to get used to it."

Xia Mu reached out and patted her head, saying...

"Um.

"6

Yakushino replied.

"Let's talk about something happy!"

Rope Tree immediately changed the subject, saying, "Our first class has done a great job this time, and the village will definitely reward us handsomely!"

""

The fact that they were able to capture Chiyo's son and daughter-in-law is indeed a major achievement of the First Squad.

But it goes without saying who deserves the most credit.

Xia Mu put in all his effort to create a low-quality version of Unlimited Blade Works, which directly ruined four puppeteers.

"Xia Mu, what was that move you used earlier called?"

Rope Tree asked curiously.

"What does 'what' mean? Don't you already know? It's projection magic."

Xia Mu said with a smile, "I used it once before when I fought Minato."

When Minato Namikaze used the Shadow Clone Technique with his shuriken, he had a sudden inspiration and thought of this method.

However, he didn't experience the illusion collapse at that time, so its power was only average.

"How could it explode?"

Rope Tree continued to ask.

"It works on a similar principle to detonating tags."

Xia Mu casually remarked, "The projected swords are themselves aggregates of chakra; they only need to be triggered to explode."

"If you can instantly cast so many swords, then your projection magic is comparable to an S-rank ninjutsu."

"That's what Rope Tree said with a sigh."

"yes."

Xia Mu nodded and said, "I'm trying to improve it, maybe one day in the future I can."

"——"

Rope Tree fell silent.

Do you even know what you're saying?

"You're the only one who dares to say something like 'casually improving an S-rank ninjutsu'."

Tsunade's voice rang out.

"Sis, are you done with your work over there?"

'

When Rope Tree saw her, he asked.

"The wounded have received initial treatment; the rest will be discussed once we return to camp."

Tsunade paused for a moment, then said, "Let's go, the mission is complete."

Xia Mu and the others nodded.

The group quickly returned to the camp.

"Send a secret agent back to the village to inform the teacher first."

Tsunade thought for a moment and said, "After we've treated the wounded, let's leave as soon as possible."

That's what I'm planning to do too.

Sakumo Hatake agreed.

His mission was to intercept the puppeteer force of Sunagakure.

Now that we've exceeded our mission goals with the help of Tsunade and the others, there's no need to waste any more time here.

Early the next morning.

The group then set off towards Konoha Village.

However, news of the annihilation of the Sunagakure puppeteers had already been sent back ahead of time.

The Hokage's Office in Konoha Village.

The office, which is usually occupied only by Hiruzen Sarutobi, was unusually lively for once.

The two Hokage advisors, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, and the Hokage assistant, Danzo Shimura, have all arrived.

The four of them were the absolute top leaders of Konoha Village, that is, the absolute core.

"Has something happened on the battlefield in the Land of Rain?"

Danzo Shimura took the initiative to ask the question.

"It was indeed a matter from the battlefield in the Land of Rain."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a smile, "Tsunade and Sakumo captured Chiyo's son and daughter-in-law and wiped out the Sunagakure puppeteer force."

The three, including Shimura Danzo, immediately showed expressions of surprise.

"This is the greatest achievement Konoha has made since the start of the war."

Mitokado Homura remarked with admiration, "Sunagakure must be in a complete mess right now."

"Since Chiyo's son and daughter-in-law have been arrested, she will definitely take some action."

Koharu Utatane reminded them, "We need to make Orochimaru and Jiraiya keep a close eye on things."

"I have already sent ANBU ninjas to inform them."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded and said.

"With Amegakure holding them back, Sunagakure might choose to negotiate with us."

Mitokado Yan pondered for a moment before speaking.

"The more likely scenario is that they will go to war with us!"

Danzo Shimura volunteered, saying, "Why don't I send my Root members to investigate the situation in Sunagakure?"

"With Jiraiya and Orochimaru around, that's enough."

Hiruzen Sarutobi refused.

""

Danzo Shimura subconsciously clenched his fist, then relaxed it.

However, he still did not give up his plan to expand his base during the war.

"The puppeteer unit of Sunagakure is composed of elites."

Koharu asked curiously, "How did Tsunade and Sakumo manage to wipe them all out?"

1

Shimura Danzo and Mitokado Homura also felt puzzled.

In terms of apparent strength, the two sides are actually about the same.

Otherwise, Sakumo Hatake wouldn't have been locked in a stalemate with them for two months.

"This is related to Xia Mu."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a smile.

Previously, when Natsuki fought Minato Namikaze, he commented that projection magic was useless.

I didn't expect to be proven wrong this time.

Although projection magic has many drawbacks, it can be very lethal when properly prepared and when the enemy is unaware of its capabilities.

However, such opportunities are unlikely to be many.

If you know the information in advance, it's not very useful.

After Hiruzen Sarutobi finished speaking, the three people had different expressions.

Danzo Shimura's regret was like a never-ending river.

Koharu Utatane and Erokazu Mito were mostly filled with emotion.

After all, they didn't have any real grudge against Xia Mu.

"Keep this to yourselves, don't spread it around."

Hiruzen Sarutobi reminded him.

The fewer people who know about this inferior version of Unlimited Blade Works, the better.
