Naruto: Multiverse Character Templates

"This is your mission."

Hizashi handed Natsuki a mission scroll.

Natsuki opened the mission scroll and glanced at it.

The contents were simple. They were to eliminate one of Suna's scouting and patrol squads.

The enemies were one Jonin and three Chunin.

"The squad in charge of reconnaissance already found the general location of Suna's scouting and patrol squad last night."

Hizashi opened a map, pointed at a red dot on it, and said, "This is your target's range of activity."

The purpose of a scouting squad was to monitor whether enemies had invaded a certain area.

They did not have fixed outposts and would patrol that area.

Once they discovered an enemy, they would notify the main camp.

"There is definitely a sensory ninja among the scouting and patrol squad."

Hizashi reminded them, "You must be careful. If they discover you first, you will fall into a passive position."

Natsuki and the others nodded.

"I wish you success on your mission."

Hizashi said seriously.

Natsuki and the others turned and walked outside.

"Do any of you know sensory ninjutsu?"

Kosuke asked.

"I don't, but my summoning beast is a ninja dog. It can track scents."

Nawaki answered.

"I don't."

Nonō shook her head and said.

"I do."

Natsuki paused, then said, "My summoning beast can also scout."

"It seems our squad is very well-rounded."

Kosuke praised them.

He had heard of Natsuki and Nawaki's names as geniuses before.

And geniuses often would not learn sensory ninjutsu.

After all, normal geniuses were usually better at fighting.

"I also know sensory ninjutsu."

Kosuke continued, "After entering the activity area, the three of us will find our target as quickly as possible."

"It rains all year round in the Land of Rain, so the ninja dog may not be useful."

Natsuki reminded him.

"That is indeed a problem."

Kosuke could not help nodding.

Natsuki's attention to detail was somewhat beyond his expectations.

He had forgotten about the weather factor just now.

"Then the two of us will be responsible for sensing."

Kosuke continued.

After a brief conversation, everyone began traveling.

After arriving in the Land of Rain, Natsuki summoned his crow, Black Feather.

The four people and one crow soon arrived at their destination.

"Be ready to fight at any time."

Natsuki reminded them.

Kosuke formed hand seals and used sensory ninjutsu.

The situation in the surrounding area was fully grasped by him.

"No enemies have been found within one kilometer for now."

Kosuke said.

A sensing range of one kilometer was already quite good.

An ordinary Byakugan's range was also about one kilometer.

But sensory ninjutsu had a problem. Its precision was far inferior to the Byakugan.

In other words, quite a few concealment-type ninjutsu could evade sensory ninjutsu.

Natsuki nodded.

He then used Presence Concealment.

Kosuke subconsciously looked at him, surprise appearing on his face.

He was still maintaining sensory ninjutsu, but just now, he sensed that Natsuki's presence had become extremely faint.

It was the kind of faintness where, without repeated confirmation, he would have thought it was an illusion.

If he had not been using sensory ninjutsu, he definitely would not have discovered Natsuki.

Kosuke estimated that Natsuki had used a concealment-type ninjutsu of at least B-rank.

As expected of Konoha's most famous genius over the past two years, he truly made people see him in a new light.

"Wait here for a moment."

Natsuki looked around and quickly climbed onto a nearby boulder.

He immediately activated Clairvoyance.

Clairvoyance had a range of four kilometers, but it could not see through objects.

Fortunately, the terrain in the Land of Rain was relatively flat, with not many obstructions.

In an instant, his field of vision expanded greatly.

In only a moment, he discovered four Suna ninja three kilometers to the northeast.

Natsuki immediately began thinking.

He was deciding which ability to unlock first.

In the end, he decided to first complete Bickslow Template's Doll, Heavy Child Formation and Shuzo Template's Geppo.

The former had no additional conditions and only required him to defeat five Jonin.

The latter required him to defeat five Tokubetsu Jonin or Jonin in the air.

"I found their traces."

Natsuki returned to Kosuke and the others.

"So fast?"

Nawaki asked in surprise.

"Where are they?"

Kosuke was more confused.

Because his sensory ninjutsu had not detected them.

"About three kilometers to the northeast."

Natsuki replied.

Kosuke's face was immediately full of question marks.

Your sensory ninjutsu can actually exceed three kilometers?

How had he never heard of Konoha having sensory ninjutsu with such a long range?

"Kosuke-senpai, Nawaki, head over immediately and stop when you are one kilometer away from them."

As the captain, Natsuki immediately gave the order.

The reason he told them to stop one kilometer away was because there was definitely a sensory ninja in Suna's scouting and patrol squad.

Under normal circumstances, one kilometer was the limit for sensory ninjutsu.

Stopping one kilometer away could prevent them from being detected.

"What about you?"

Nawaki immediately asked.

"I'll attack first. Use my attack as the signal and quickly approach them."

Natsuki replied.

For most ninja, one kilometer was not far. They could cover it in the blink of an eye.

Nawaki paused slightly, still somewhat unable to understand.

But time waited for no one. He did not ask further and rushed toward their target with Kosuke.

In fact, Kosuke could not really understand either.

Did Natsuki have some kind of ultra-long-range attack method?

But even if he did, at such a long distance, would the enemy not discover it in advance and dodge?

"Nonō, you can wait here."

Natsuki looked at Nonō and said.

"Mm."

Nonō nodded obediently.

Although she was a medical ninja with combat ability, she was still a medical ninja.

According to Tsunade, medical ninja should not fight on the very front line.

White Out!

Natsuki directly took flight.

Using the recoil of the smoke jet, he arrived in midair.

Projection Magecraft!

Natsuki stretched out his hand.

Chakra surged out, and a bow appeared in front of him.

He then held the bow with his left hand.

Reinforcement Magecraft!

A large amount of chakra flowed into the bow, making its body sturdier and its range longer.

Projection Magecraft!

The Sword of the Thunder God was projected.

He held the Sword of the Thunder God in his right hand and began pouring chakra into it.

This was also why he did not project Kurosawa.

The Sword of the Thunder God's material was special and could withstand more chakra being poured into it.

When he could no longer pour in chakra, Natsuki placed the Sword of the Thunder God on the bowstring as an arrow.

He looked at the Suna Jonin in the distance.

Under normal circumstances, it was difficult for ninja to attack targets three kilometers away.

The reason was simple.

Even the Hyuga clan, who possessed the Byakugan, could not clearly see targets three kilometers away.

If they could not even see them clearly, hitting them was out of the question.

Natsuki was different.

He had Clairvoyance and could clearly see targets three kilometers away.

The prerequisite was that there were no obstructions.

At the same time, Projection Magecraft and Broken Phantasm gave his arrow enough destructive power.

Soon, Nawaki and Kosuke were in position.

Natsuki released his hand.

The Sword of the Thunder God instantly vanished from the bowstring.

It flew into the sky at extreme speed.

Three kilometers away, Suna's ninja squad.

The middle-aged Jonin was chatting with his three students.

But chatting was just chatting. He had not lowered his guard and still had one of his students maintain sensory ninjutsu.

Once there was any disturbance nearby, it would immediately draw their attention.

Suddenly, he heard something cutting through the air.

He subconsciously raised his head and saw an arrow. More accurately, it was an arrow that looked like a sword.

The middle-aged Jonin reacted very quickly and subconsciously drew a short blade to slash at it.

The instant he struck it, an unprecedented sense of danger surged into his heart.

The Sword of the Thunder God suddenly exploded.

His three students were directly caught in the blast while completely unprepared.

The violent chakra airflow cut into their bodies like sharp blades.

Blood splattered everywhere.

They died on the spot before they could even scream.

A horrified expression appeared on the middle-aged Jonin's face.

But as a Jonin, his reaction speed was naturally not slow.

He subconsciously erupted with all his speed and retreated, while raising both arms in front of himself.

Even so, he was still affected.

Both of his arms became covered in blood.

But the middle-aged Jonin had no time to check his injuries, nor did he have time to look at his three students.

At that moment, there was only one thought in his mind, and that was to escape.

The violent explosion immediately startled Kosuke and Nawaki.

The two of them immediately rushed toward the explosion site.

Kosuke arrived first.

He glanced at the corpses of the three Suna Chunin, and his pupils could not help shrinking.

What kind of attack had caused this?

And the most terrifying part was that they had not dodged it?

One had to know that there was a sensory ninja among them.

But he had no time to think further and chased after the fleeing Suna Jonin.

At that moment, the sound of something cutting through the air rang out.

Kosuke raised his head and could not help freezing.

He saw the Sword of the Thunder God flying at extreme speed.

As a student of the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, he naturally knew the Sword of the Thunder God.

What did this mean?

Why had Natsuki thrown out the Sword of the Thunder God?

"Damn it!"

The middle-aged Jonin looked back and saw the Sword of the Thunder God, and he could not help cursing angrily.

He threw out a kunai without hesitation.

The Sword of the Thunder God exploded.

But he was still caught in the blast.

Because the Sword of the Thunder God was too fast, and the explosion range was also large.

The middle-aged Jonin only felt a burning pain on his back.

He could be certain that the skin on his back was already a bloody mess.

Kosuke, who had witnessed everything, had an expression filled with disbelief.

What was going on?

Why had his teacher's Sword of the Thunder God exploded?

"Stop right there!"

Nawaki's voice rang out.

Because the two Sword of the Thunder God explosions had affected the middle-aged Jonin's speed, he had also caught up.

Samehada, Flying Chain Slash!

Nawaki gripped Samehada's hilt and swung it hard, causing the hilt to extend more than ten meters.

Samehada smashed toward the middle-aged Jonin like a hammer.

Body Flicker Technique!

The middle-aged Jonin quickly dodged.

Kosuke also reacted and formed hand seals.

Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!

A water dragon roared and flew out.

At the same time, Natsuki drew the bowstring again.

Broken Phantasm combined with the explosion of the Sword of the Thunder God was indeed powerful.

But hitting a moving target from three kilometers away was not easy.

Fortunately, he had Kosuke and Nawaki helping him, sealing off the middle-aged Jonin's movement.

If it were one-on-one, with a Jonin's speed, the enemy would reach him in just a few seconds.

At that point, using a bow to attack would be somewhat inadequate.

Natsuki released the bowstring.

The Sword of the Thunder God tore through the air and flew away at high speed.

The middle-aged Jonin had just used Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall to block Kosuke's Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique when he heard the familiar sound of something cutting through the air.

His expression immediately changed drastically.

The Sword of the Thunder God exploded.

The earth wall in front of him was already on the verge of collapse, and now that it suffered an explosion, it instantly shattered.

Behind the earth wall, the middle-aged Jonin subconsciously dodged to the left.

But he was still one step too slow.

The aftermath of the explosion surged toward him.

He screamed and flew out.

Seeing this, Nawaki immediately leaped up.

Water Breathing, Second Form: Water Wheel!

His body spun, and water flowed out with Samehada, all of it smashing into the middle-aged Jonin.

The man's abdomen immediately caved in.

He opened his mouth and spat out even more blood.

A moment later, he collapsed and lost consciousness forever.

"Mission complete!"

Nawaki put away Samehada and said excitedly.

Kosuke looked at the corpse on the ground and felt dazed.

Although he was a Genin, because of his powerful strength and special status, he often took part in high-level missions.

But not a single mission had ever been as strange as this one.

Natsuki slowly landed on the ground.

With the middle-aged Jonin's death, Bickslow Template's Doll, Heavy Child Formation and Shuzo Template's Geppo had both reached one-fifth progress.

Natsuki nodded slightly.

No wonder Archer was called a nuclear-bomb swordsman.

This kind of ultra-long-range strike was truly like attacking from another dimension.

The only pity was that the Sword of the Thunder God he projected was not powerful enough.

Archer usually projected Caladbolg.

The weapon's original form was the demonic sword held by the hero Fergus mac Róich in Celtic mythology. It was forged by fairies and contained the power of lightning.

Judging from its lightning power, it was somewhat similar to the Sword of the Thunder God.

"Nonō, let's go over."

Natsuki put away the bow and walked toward Nawaki and Kosuke.

"Natsuki!"

When Nawaki saw him, he asked, "How did you throw the Sword of the Thunder God so far just now?"

He knew that combining Projection Magecraft and Broken Phantasm allowed Natsuki to make ninja tools explode.

"I used a bow."

Natsuki answered.

"Wait!"

Kosuke could not help asking, "You mean you can hit a target from that far away?"

"I have good eyesight."

Natsuki blinked and said.

Kosuke was immediately speechless.

"Let's take his body back and turn in the mission."

Natsuki returned to the main topic and reminded them, "The explosion was very loud. It will definitely attract the attention of other Suna ninja."

Although he and Kosuke were both comparable to Jonin, the number of Jonin drawn over by such a loud explosion was unknown.

He did not dare take the risk.

"What happened with the Sword of the Thunder God exploding?"

On the way back, Kosuke could not help asking.

"It's the effect of the ninjutsu I created, Projection Magecraft and Broken Phantasm."

Natsuki briefly explained it to him.

Projection Magecraft and Broken Phantasm were already known to Hiruzen, Tsunade, and the others, so there was no harm in telling Kosuke.

"No wonder Hiruzen said you would become the next Sensei."

Kosuke fell silent for two seconds, then said with emotion.
