Naruto: Fusion of Multiverse Character Templates

Chapter 93 Squad First, Unlocking the Puppet Line Formation (Fourth and Fifth Updates)

"What about my sister?"

Rope Tree paused slightly, then asked.

"This time, I'll be the temporary team leader for Kushina's team."

"That's what Tsunade replied."

This squad only appeared because Kushina Uzumaki wanted to participate in the Chunin Exams.

If it were someone else, Hiruzen Sarutobi would definitely not allow her to act recklessly.

But who can blame her when she's the next Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?

Hiruzen Sarutobi highly valued the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki's feelings for the village.

Making her participate in the Chunin Exams would undoubtedly be an act to deepen her feelings for him.

"So, who are my teammates?

Kushina Uzumaki looked curiously at the two people behind Tsunade.

One of them was not very tall, a bit older, wearing a green bodysuit, and for some reason, his expression was very excited.

The other one looked ordinary and unremarkable, but was about the same age as her.

"He is Matt Day, a master of hand-to-hand combat."

Tsunade explained, "He is Suzaku Nara, and he is skilled in shadow techniques."

Natsuki glanced at Suzaku Nara.

He is also a character in the original work, but he doesn't have many scenes.

During the Fourth Shinobi World War, he was part of Konoha's interception team, specifically tasked with monitoring and intercepting Naruto Uzumaki.

Xia Mu seemed to be deep in thought.

Kushina Uzumaki's team is actually a perfect combination.

Except for the lack of medical ninjas, it has everything, even a commander.

The ninjas of the Nara clan have always been very clever, and Suzaku Nara is no exception.

"We'll take you to the Chunin Exams written test venue."

After exchanging pleasantries, Tsunade turned and walked into the Ninja Academy.

A group of people followed her to the door of a classroom.

Xia Mu glanced at it and realized it was the classroom of Class A in the fifth grade.

I wish you all the best in passing the test.

Tsunade stopped and said with a smile.

"Don't worry!"

Nawaki confidently stated, "Our theoretical exam scores were all excellent!"

"I'm not good enough!"

Matt Day declared loudly, "But my youth will never give up!"

"————?"

Nawaki, Kushina Uzumaki, and Suzaku Nara instinctively looked at him.

Tsunade paused for a moment, then suddenly understood why Hiruzen Sarutobi had made that assessment of Might Guy.

Only Orochimaru and Natsuki remained calm.

The former is due to personality.

The latter is about understanding Matt Day's personality.

"As far as I know, cheating is allowed on the written test."

Xia Mu paused for a moment, then said, "Provided we don't get discovered."

"Really?"

Rope Tree asked with a look of surprise.

"It is indeed true."

Tsunade glanced at Natsuki and said, "Not bad, you did your research beforehand."

"I can help Senior Dai pass the test."

Nara Suzaku spoke.

"Then it's up to you!"

Kushina Uzumaki immediately said, "Our team can't fall at the first stage!"

"Let's go."

After Natsuki finished speaking, the group entered the examination hall for the Chunin Exams written test.

Their entry attracted the attention of the genin who were already in the classroom.

"Is that Xia Mu?"

"Who is Xia Mu? That name sounds familiar."

"He's Orochimaru's student. I didn't expect him to come and take the Chunin Exams less than three months after graduating."

"So it was him!"

The classroom suddenly became lively.

"hateful!"

Listening to their discussion, Rope Tree asked unwillingly, "Why is everyone talking about Natsuki? Don't I have any fame at all?"

"You still need to work harder."

Xia Mu said with a smile.

Just you wait and see!

Rope Tree clenched his fist and said.

"strangeness."

Kushina Uzumaki looked around and asked, "Didn't Kaguya and the others participate in the Chunin Exams?"

"Is it because Jiraiya-sama hasn't returned to the village?"

Rope Tree asked, guessing.

"They might arrive in half an hour before the exam starts."

Xia Mu paused for a moment, then said, "Let's find a place to sit down first."

The group arrived at the back of the classroom and sat in the empty seats.

"Are there any genin you recognize?"

Kushina Uzumaki asked curiously.

"no."

Nawaki and Suzaku Nara said in unison.

They were all recent graduates, so they naturally didn't know many genin.

Suzaku Nara's two teammates were seriously injured in the last mission, which is why he was assigned to be Kushina Uzumaki's teammate.

"I know some."

Matt Day scratched his head and said, "I used to be teammates with them, but after the mission, they stopped teaming up with me."

Xia Mu and the others exchanged glances, unsure of what to say.

They all guessed some of the reasons.

The reason why those genin were unwilling to team up with Might Guy was definitely because of his personality.

Normally, lone ninjas will be reassigned.

However, when assigning roles, Hiruzen Sarutobi also needs to consider the bonds and cooperation between teammates.

In situations like Matt Day's, where both teammates dislike him, it's difficult to continue playing together.

Over time, he kept forming and changing teams.

Because his ninja squad wasn't fixed, he couldn't participate in the Chunin Exams and ended up being a Genin for life.

"Xiang Hui!"

Just then, Kushina Uzumaki instinctively stood up.

Minato Namikaze, Kaori Uzumaki, and Suzaku Inuya walked in.

"You've finally arrived! I was worried you wouldn't come."

As they approached, Kushina Uzumaki took Kaori Uzumaki's hand and said...

"We were delayed because we were rushing back from the Land of Rain."

Minato Namikaze explained.

"You also went to the Land of Rain on a mission?"

Rope Tree asked curiously.

"Yes, the teacher assigned us to handle some paperwork, so we spend most of our time cultivating."

Minato Namikaze nodded and said.

"That sounds so boring."

Rope Tree immediately lost interest.

"Your mission is certainly more interesting."

Minato Namikaze said with some envy, "I've already heard about the complete annihilation of the Sunagakure puppeteer force."

"hey-hey!"

Rope Tree immediately said proudly, "Our Class One deserves the most credit!"

The group chatted for a while, and then it was nine o'clock in the morning.

Three young ninjas walked into the classroom.

"I am your examiner for the written test, Inuzuka Jacques."

Inuzuka Jacques said, "There's only one rule for the written exam: if I catch you cheating, your score will be canceled."

The implication is that if you don't get caught, you can cheat.

Xia Mu subconsciously glanced at the dog's jaw.

In the original work, Inuzuka Gaki and Namikaze Minato are teammates.

However, they were teammates during the Third Shinobi World War.

They are most likely teammates from the reorganized team.

After all, Inuya's jaw is much older than Minato Namikaze's.

"You can start answering the questions after you receive the test paper."

Inuya Jacques waved his hand, and the other two young ninjas began distributing the test papers.

Xia Mu quickly received the test paper.

He read through the exam paper once and nodded slightly.

It's a bit difficult, but not much.

He then looked at Nawaki and Yakushi Nono, and found that they were both calm.

Kushina Uzumaki, Suzaku Nara, and the others didn't show any change in expression, but Might Guy's expression changed drastically.

First came anxiety, then a surge of youthful passion, a feeling of confidence despite not knowing what to do.

Fortunately, Suzaku Nara was there.

After he finished the questions, he used Shadow Imitation to control Matt Day's shadow, thus controlling him to complete the questions.

The written test ended, but the crucial tenth question from the Joint Chunin Exams written test in the original work did not appear.

It's probably because there aren't many genin participating in the Chunin Exams to begin with, so there's no need to eliminate some of them in this way.

"How is it?"

Rope Tree turned his head and asked.

Although the exam was over, they were not allowed to leave and had to wait for the results to come out before taking the next exam.

"No problem."

Minato Namikaze smiled slightly and said.

"With the support of my teammates' youthful energy, I'm sure I'll pass!"

Matt Day gave a thumbs up, revealing his pearly white teeth.

Everyone fell silent, only feeling that the teeth were gleaming.

Not long after, the dog's jaw reappeared.

He held up a list and said, "The genin whose names are called should gather at the entrance of Konoha Village at 1 p.m.

After he finished speaking, he began to read it aloud.

Soon, Xia Mu heard their names; all three classes had passed.

"Waaaaah!"

Upon hearing his name called, Matt Day's expression changed immediately, and he burst into tears, crying, "I haven't let my teammates down!"

All the genin in the classroom instinctively looked at him.

Natsuki, Rope Tree, and the others immediately felt uneasy.

In an awkward atmosphere, the first round of the Chunin Exams, the written exam, came to an end.

It was 1 p.m. at the entrance of Konoha Village.

"Natsuki."

After Kushina Uzumaki arrived, she pulled Natsuki aside and asked curiously, "Is the one you recommended reliable?"

Although she trusted Xia Mu, Matt Day's performance that morning opened her eyes and made her suspicious.

"Don't worry, he's definitely reliable."

Xia Mu coughed lightly and said, "He just behaves a little differently from ordinary people."

"Are there some?"

Kushina Uzumaki asked in a sarcastic tone.

However, she only talked about it with Xia Mu in private.

"His skills are quite good."

Xia Mu pinched her cheek and said, "I won't let you down."

"9

Kushina Uzumaki felt a sudden jolt in her heart, turned her head away somewhat embarrassed, and responded with a soft "yes".

Xia Mu used to pinch her cheeks all the time, but now he could vaguely sense something different.

After they finished talking, the two returned to the village entrance.

The examiner for this exam was still Inuya Jacques.

He announced the rules for the second exam.

This exam is a team battle; simply put, you need to collect both the "sky" and "earth" scrolls to pass.

Before the exam begins, each ninja team will randomly receive either a Heaven or Earth scroll.

In other words, they have to compete for another reel.

The exam was held in the Death Forest.

How so?

The rules are exactly the same as those for the second round of the Joint Chunin Exams in the original work.

Natsuki guessed that this was a long-standing tradition of the Chunin Exams in Konoha.

"I'm going to pick up the scroll!"

After finishing speaking, Nawaki ran up to Inuzuka Jaw.

"After receiving the scroll, the fake ninja will enter the examination area and will not be allowed to communicate with other ninja teams."

Inuzuka Jacques handed him a trillion roll of paper and reminded him.

"OK."

Nawaki took the scroll, and Pseudo, Natsuki, and Yakushino entered the Forest of Death.

"It's safer to put the scroll in my shadow space."

"7

Xia Mu said it easily.

"Um."

Nawaki glanced at the scroll and handed it to him, saying, "It's a 'Heavenly Scroll'."

"In order to pass the level as quickly as possible, I suggest that we split into two groups."

Xia Mu thought for a moment and said, "I'll go one way, and you guys go the other way. We'll meet up after we get the roll."

"Can!"

Rope Tree immediately agreed, chuckled, and said, "I can perform even better without you here!"

Xia Mu nodded.

He shared the same thought.

After all, he needs to defeat five genin to unlock the abilities of the Biggleslo template.

He couldn't easily complain when he was with Nawaki and Yakushi Nonou.

"I'll have Kuroba follow you."

Xia Mu summoned Hei Yu, saying, "I've snatched the scroll. Tell Hei Yu to notify me."

With the strength of Nawaki and Yakushi Nonou, they wouldn't be eliminated even if there were only two of them.

Unless they fight with Kushina Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze.

Besides, even if they are eliminated, as long as the scroll is on their side, they can still pass the level.

After Xia Mu finished speaking, Qiu turned and walked in another direction.

As he walked, he summoned five trillion puppets.

After the souls were infused into them, they were sent flying in all directions.

Although the Forest of Death was desolate, he quickly found another ninja team.

Xia Mu rushed over.

He made no attempt to conceal himself and swaggered out in front of them.

"Natsuki?"

Qu Xiaren's face turned pale at the same time.

They were naturally well aware of Xia Mu's reputation.

"Wait, he only has one trillion people!"

The young ninja, now the team leader, suddenly gained confidence.

Without saying a word, Xia Mu took out a wooden sword.

Water Breathing - Third Form - Flowing Dance!

A stream of water surrounded him, and he swiftly swung his wooden sword, its blade curved.

The lowly ninja was sent flying.

"What kind of reels are you using?"

Xia Mu asked, holding his knife.

"Heaven—the scroll."

The young ninja answered tremblingly.

Xia Mu turned and walked away.

Seeing this, the three lower-ranking ninjas looked at each other, all feeling as if they had survived a calamity.

Natsuki Cheng quickly found the second ninja squad.

After defeating them at the speed of light, and learning that they were from the Sky Scroll, they continued forward.

[Congratulations, host, for unlocking the second ability of the Bigus template: Puppet Linear Formation.]

Xia Mu nodded slightly as he looked at the words that appeared before him.

He defeated the six genin, thus fulfilling the conditions.

With a thought, Xia Mu manipulated the five puppets to stand in a row.

The next second, the five puppets lit up, and a beam of light shot out, slicing a tree in half in front of them.

This price is somewhere between C and B grade, barely acceptable.

Xia Mu was even more looking forward to the remaining three trillion formation.

At this moment, rumors began to circulate.

Black feathers fell from the sky.

Xia Mu raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself that there was no need to summon other ninja teams to cause trouble.

He followed Kuroba and met Nawaki and Yakushi Nonou.

"I just single-handedly defeated an entire ninja squad!"

When Rope saw Natsuki, Le couldn't help but boast.

"The Prime Minister is amazing."

Natsuki said with a smile, "You deserve the most credit for the second round of the Chunin Exams."

Qu ran towards the finish line.

Upon reaching the finish line, the fake one saw the dog's jaw.

Xia Mu handed him the scrolls for the sky and the ground.

"Congratulations on successfully passing the second round of the Chunin Exams."

With a smile, Inuzuka Jacques said, "The second training session will be held in two days at the first training ground."

"Are we the first ninja team to arrive?"

Rope Tree is more concerned about their rankings.

"It's the first one."

"It's Jaw," Inuzuka replied.

"very good!"

Rope Tree suddenly became excited.

Xia Mu and the others did not take up their posts, but stood still and waited.

Quickly, they waited for Kushina Uzumaki, Minato Namikaze, and the others.

Cleared the Kuji Ninja Squad.
