Naruto: Multiverse Character Templates

Night fell.

Orochimaru, Natsuki, and Nawaki returned to Konoha.

"It's already late. Go back and rest well. Come find me again tomorrow."

Orochimaru did not waste any words. After giving that instruction, he turned and left.

"Natsuki."

Nawaki suddenly remembered something and said, "It's dinner time now. I'll invite you to my house for dinner."

"Just dinner?"

Natsuki asked in return.

"It would be even better if you could cook."

Nawaki said somewhat embarrassedly.

After all, asking a guest to cook truly did not fit proper etiquette.

"Let's go."

Natsuki smiled and said.

"Home!"

Nawaki immediately said happily.

The two soon arrived at Tsunade's house.

"Sis, I'm back!"

After Nawaki opened the door, he shouted toward the living room.

Tsunade, wearing a fluffy pajama set, walked out.

"Tsunade-sensei."

Natsuki looked at Tsunade, who seemed a little cuter than usual, and took the initiative to greet her.

"Have you eaten dinner? If not, I'll go make something."

Tsunade nodded and asked.

"Sis, there's no need to trouble you. Let Natsuki cook."

Nawaki quickly said.

"Hey! Brat, can't you restrain the expression on your face a little?"

Tsunade walked up to him, raised her hand, and flicked his forehead as she asked in annoyance.

The impatient expression on Nawaki's face was far too obvious, as if it was saying that the food she made was not tasty at all.

"Tsunade-sensei."

Seeing this, Natsuki stepped in to help and said, "During the day, Nawaki-senpai and I made a bet. The wager was that I would cook dinner tonight."

"Right, right, right!"

Nawaki seemed to wake up from a dream and nodded hard.

Tsunade flicked his head again with her finger.

She clearly did not believe Natsuki's explanation.

"We'll cook together."

Tsunade's eyes turned, and she said.

"Huh?"

Nawaki subconsciously showed a stunned expression.

"Huh, what?"

Tsunade glared at him and said, "Natsuki is young. I'm worried something might happen to him, so I have to keep an eye on him."

"It's my honor to receive Tsunade-sensei's guidance."

Natsuki said with high emotional intelligence.

"You really know how to talk."

Tsunade was very satisfied and pinched his cheek, then said, "Come on, follow me into the kitchen."

Natsuki nodded.

But as soon as he entered the kitchen, Tsunade hugged him in one motion.

Caught off guard, Natsuki's head crashed into her soft chest.

He subconsciously raised his head, and his vision was filled with snow-white skin.

That skin was rising and falling slightly with her breathing.

"Natsuki, from today onward, you'll teach me how to cook."

Tsunade lowered her voice and said.

"Understood."

Natsuki immediately guessed her thoughts.

"This is our secret."

Tsunade snorted softly and said, "Remember, you can't let Nawaki know. If you leak it, you know the consequences."

"I definitely won't let a third person know!"

Natsuki said with a serious expression.

It was just that his face was pressed against Tsunade's clothes, so only one-third of his expression could be seen.

"Very good."

Tsunade let go of him, patted his shoulder twice, and said, "I won't treat you unfairly."

"This is what I should do."

Natsuki shook his head and said, "Tsunade-sensei has also taught me many things."

He was still learning pharmacy from Tsunade.

Because he needed to match his own pharmacy level with the Red Healing Potion and the Stamina Recovery Potion.

"I don't have an apron in your size here, so you can only make do for now."

Tsunade took out a white apron and said.

"I brought my own apron."

Natsuki opened the summoning storage scroll and tied on his apron.

Seeing this, Tsunade put the white apron on herself.

With pajamas and an apron over them, she suddenly had the air of a good wife and mother.

Natsuki opened the refrigerator and looked at the fully stocked ingredients. He immediately had an idea.

He planned to teach Tsunade tempura first.

This dish was considered a home-cooked dish, and the method was relatively simple.

Very soon, the lesson officially began.

Natsuki also discovered why Tsunade's cooking tasted bad.

It was because she had no concept of the amount of seasoning and always added it based on feeling.

Under Natsuki's guidance, a plate of tempura was successfully finished.

Tsunade could not wait and picked up a piece of fried shrimp with her hand, then put it into her mouth.

She chewed twice, and her eyes could not help lighting up.

Was this really made by her?

Tsunade was both surprised and excited.

After eating the fried shrimp, her red lips parted slightly, and she licked her finger again.

"Don't tell Nawaki for now."

Tsunade pursed her lips and said, "That brat complains every day that the food I make tastes bad. After some time, I'll definitely make him apologize!"

After dinner ended, Natsuki returned to the Konoha Orphanage.

A new week began.

After lunch, Nawaki mysteriously pulled him to the Forest of Death.

When they arrived at the Forest of Death, Natsuki saw that giant hawk.

"How is it?"

Nawaki said with a proud look, "This ninja hawk is the summoning beast I found for you!"

"It looks very strong."

Natsuki asked curiously, "Where did you find it?"

"Konoha has always had contact with the ninja hawk clan."

Nawaki explained, "This morning, I went there with my sister and chose the largest ninja hawk."

A ninja hawk?

Natsuki remembered that in the original work, Konoha used ninja hawks to transmit information.

He looked at this ninja hawk and could not help nodding.

For transmitting information, he already had the crow Kurobane, so he did not need this ninja hawk.

But this ninja hawk's greatest use was that it could carry him in flight.

In the shinobi world, being able to fly was a huge advantage.

Because shinobi who could fly were truly rare.

[Congratulations, host, for obtaining the ninja hawk Aozora.]

[When the ninja hawk Aozora is summoned through the Ten Shadows Technique, its flight speed is fixed to increase by 30%.]

It had the same effect as the crow Kurobane, but it suited him well, so Natsuki did not care that the effect repeated.

After October passed, November arrived.

In the first week of November, a line of text appeared before Natsuki's eyes.

[Congratulations, host, for unlocking the Fushiguro Megumi Template's Ability Two, Shadow Assassin.]

After Natsuki and Nawaki assassinated the Tokubetsu Jonin Yasuda, Orochimaru maintained a frequency of two or three missions a month.

Finally, in November, Natsuki fulfilled the condition of killing two Chunin.

The effect of Shadow Assassin was to hide himself within shadows, which was very suitable for sneak attacks or avoiding attacks.

The only problem was that the current Natsuki still could not use it openly.

He planned to lay his cards on the table with Orochimaru after advancing to the third year.

When November ended, Natsuki and Nawaki welcomed winter break.

But for them, winter break was no different from going to school. It was still training plus going out on missions.

Of course, there was also teaching Tsunade how to cook.

However, because both of them were very busy, the teaching time was rather tight.

As winter break neared its end, Konoha welcomed the New Year.

Orochimaru also gave Natsuki and Nawaki a week off.

This week, Natsuki finally relaxed for once.

Because before the New Year, he had successfully unlocked two abilities of the Shippo Template.

[Congratulations, host, for unlocking the Shippo Template's Ability Two, Fox Fire.]

[Congratulations, host, for unlocking the Shippo Template's Ability Three, Fox Demon Art.]

At this point, the Shippo Template had been completely integrated.

Natsuki's next goal was to defeat Nawaki.

As long as he unlocked the Uzumaki Naruto Template's Ability Four, Chakra Reserve, he would not lack chakra for a very long time.
