Naruto: Multiverse Character Templates

After the Jonin assessment ended, Natsuki went to the Hokage Building and received his Jonin vest.

Aside from that, Konoha would also issue a special announcement informing all shinobi that he had become a new Jonin.

The impact of becoming a Jonin was significant.

It meant that Konoha had gained another shinobi with real authority.

Because in theory, a Jonin could command all Chunin and Genin.

Natsuki was even more different.

He was Orochimaru's student, a shinobi of the Hokage's faction.

Any shinobi with the slightest awareness would understand what that meant.

Another popular Hokage candidate had been born.

If he were not too young, he might even be able to directly become the Fourth Hokage.

After all, he had already accumulated quite a lot of achievements.

After receiving his Jonin vest, Natsuki did not leave the Hokage Building right away.

He thought carefully. For the time being, there was no way to unlock Infinite Mana and Excalibur from the Artoria Template.

The former required a mass of chakra.

Either he had to capture a tailed beast, or capture an existence on the level of a tailed beast.

Natsuki was more inclined to capture an existence on the level of a tailed beast.

The main reason was that all nine tailed beasts already had owners, and each had a ninja village behind them. The difficulty and risk were relatively high.

The latter required rebuilding a nation.

In the original work, there were two nations that could be considered destroyed.

The first was the Land of Whirlpools.

But because of Natsuki's interference, the Land of Whirlpools had not been destroyed.

The second was Rōran.

But the current Rōran had not been destroyed yet.

In the original work, the plot involving Rōran was the movie The Lost Tower.

Simply put, Naruto and the others carried out a mission to hunt down Mukade, a missing-nin from Suna, and arrived at the destroyed Rōran.

Mukade released the power of the Ryūmyaku, causing them to travel back to the Rōran of the past.

Naruto and the others met the young Minato in the past Rōran.

Father and son worked together and ultimately defeated Mukade.

From the plot, it could be seen that when the young Minato was around, Rōran still existed normally.

And the current Minato was still a teenager.

Natsuki could only treat Rōran as a backup option.

First, he would see whether the Land of Rain after the war ended met the condition.

If it did, then he could start with the Akatsuki organization.

After all, Akatsuki concerned the survival of the shinobi world. Leaving behind some measures might prove useful.

Besides, Jiraiya was originally going to teach Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan for three years.

When the time came, Natsuki could also help.

Aside from Infinite Mana and Excalibur, the remaining two abilities could be completed sooner.

Mana Burst could be unlocked once he went to the battlefield.

Invisible Air could be started now by training in Wind Release.

Natsuki arrived at the ninjutsu storage room in the Hokage Building.

He took out the Hokage's authorization and smoothly entered.

The Hokage's authorization had been given to him earlier by Hiruzen so that he could freely learn Lightning Release ninjutsu.

But the ninjutsu storage room did not only contain Lightning Release ninjutsu. It also contained Wind Release ninjutsu.

Of course, high-level ninjutsu and forbidden jutsu were not kept in the ninjutsu storage room.

Natsuki first chose two classic C-rank Wind Release ninjutsu, Wind Release: Great Breakthrough and Wind Release: Gale Palm.

For the remaining three Wind Release ninjutsu, he chose Wind Release: Shuriken, Wind Release: Net, and Wind Release: Vacuum Sphere.

After returning to the Senju Clan compound, Natsuki formed hand seals and created two shadow clones.

He wanted to learn Wind Release ninjutsu, learn Lightning Release ninjutsu, and develop Magnet Release ninjutsu at the same time.

With his current strength, he could do it.

On top of that, the Wind Release ninjutsu and Lightning Release ninjutsu he was learning were relatively low-level.

As for the Magnet Release ninjutsu he was developing, he was also starting with the simplest ones.

He could still handle two shadow clones.

The next day arrived.

Natsuki had just gotten up not long ago when he heard a knock at the door.

He walked to the entrance in confusion.

When he opened the door, he found Nara Shikasuke standing outside.

"Clan Head Shikasuke, what brings you here?"

Natsuki asked curiously.

He was still at Konoha Orphanage, so Shikasuke had definitely come to find him, not Tsunade.

"Natsuki, I saw the announcement that you became a Jonin."

Shikasuke took out a summoning storage scroll and said, "This is a congratulatory gift from the Ino-Shika-Chō clans. Please accept it."

Natsuki could not help feeling a little surprised.

They were that quick to act?

After thinking for a moment, he did not refuse.

Ino-Shika-Chō had always been firm supporters of the Hokage's faction in Konoha.

It was probably because of the Nara Clan's high intelligence that they understood their position very clearly and never overstepped.

Ino-Shika-Chō had given him a gift not only to congratulate him on becoming a Jonin, but also because he already had a good relationship with the Nara Clan and had traded with them before.

"Thank you."

Natsuki accepted the summoning storage scroll.

Shikasuke smiled and did not stay long before leaving.

Natsuki casually opened the summoning storage scroll.

There were quite a few things inside, and they were very valuable, especially the medicinal herbs.

Natsuki put away the summoning storage scroll. After breakfast, he went to the Senju Clan compound with Nonō.

"The whole village has an announcement about you becoming a Jonin. How does it feel?"

Nawaki blinked and asked.

"It is not the first time."

Natsuki answered calmly.

Nawaki suddenly froze, then said angrily, "Damn it!"

It was indeed not the first time Natsuki had appeared on an announcement.

He had only recently appeared on one after defeating Rasa.

"You still need to work harder."

Natsuki smiled and patted his shoulder.

"Just you wait!"

Nawaki's eyes burned with fighting spirit, and his competitive spirit was instantly stirred up.

Seeing this, Tsunade could not help smiling.

This was not a bad thing.

"Natsuki."

Tsunade suddenly thought of something and asked, "Have you considered moving out of Konoha Orphanage?"

"Why?"

Natsuki asked subconsciously.

"Under normal circumstances, after graduating from the Ninja Academy, you should move out of Konoha Orphanage."

Tsunade replied, "And now, you have already become a Jonin."

Konoha Orphanage was an institution of Konoha that specifically served orphans.

The reason people moved out after graduation was to free up rooms for later orphans.

In chaotic times, the one thing that was never lacking was orphans.

Especially now, when the Second Shinobi World War was still ongoing.

Of course, with Natsuki's identity and status, no one would say anything even if he did not move out.

Because of that, Tsunade said he could consider it, not that he had to.

"You can move into the Senju Clan compound!"

Kushina's eyes lit up, and she said with great anticipation.

"I think that works too!"

When Nawaki heard this, he said excitedly, "There are plenty of empty houses in the Senju Clan compound anyway!"

"I have no objections."

Tsunade smiled and said.

In fact, even if Kushina and Nawaki had not said anything, she would have suggested that he move into the Senju Clan compound.

Natsuki could not help thinking it over.

In truth, he did not care where he lived.

But after becoming a Jonin, continuing to live in Konoha Orphanage was indeed not in line with the rules.

And the greatest benefit of living in the Senju Clan compound was that it would make training more convenient.

"Nonō can move over as well."

Tsunade added, "That way, I can teach her medical ninjutsu more easily in the future."

"Then all right."

Natsuki nodded and said, "Nonō and I will both move here."

"I will help you move this afternoon!"

Nawaki said happily, "Tonight, we will celebrate properly!"

"Where do you want to live?"

Kushina asked boldly, "Why don't you live with me? This place is very big, and it would be no problem for two more people to live there."

The place where she lived had previously belonged to Mito.

A two-story building with a large courtyard was indeed too empty for her to live in alone.

"Your current situation is not suitable."

Tsunade shook her head and said, "Let Natsuki and Nonō live next door."

Although Kushina was a little disappointed when she heard this, she did not say anything else.

After all, living next door was also very close.

"The three of us will all be living next to each other. It will be much more convenient from now on!"

Nawaki said with a smile.

To him, having friends and liveliness was the most important thing.

They trained in the morning and moved in the afternoon.

But before moving, they needed to clean the new home.

"These are the keys."

Nawaki took out two keys and handed them to Natsuki and Nonō.

"Only two?"

Kushina looked at the keys and asked.

"Then I will give you one."

Natsuki took a key, input chakra into it, and used Projection Magecraft.

Soon, a new key appeared.

"Natsuki, your Projection Magecraft really is amazing."

Seeing this, Nawaki could not help sighing.

Kushina accepted the new key with a face full of smiles.

The four of them walked into the new home.

The new home was very large. It had two floors, and the furniture and everything else were complete.

"Has no one lived in this house before?"

Natsuki looked around and asked.

Although there was quite a lot of dust, there were no signs that anyone had lived there. Everything was perfectly intact.

If someone had lived there for a long time, there would definitely be some wear and tear.

"No one has lived here."

Nawaki looked around, lowered his voice, and said, "Do not tell anyone. This house was originally kept for my sister after she got married."

Natsuki and the others were stunned. None of them had expected that.

"Then why did Tsunade-sama give it to Natsuki and Nonō?"

Kushina asked in confusion.

"Because it did not get used, right?"

Nawaki paused, then said without concern, "Anyway, since my sister said so, you can live here freely."

"Let's start cleaning."

Natsuki nodded and said.

"Nonō and I will handle the second floor!"

Kushina rolled up her sleeves and said.

"Natsuki and I will handle the first floor!"

Nawaki immediately followed.

Once the work was divided, Kushina and Nonō went upstairs.

Natsuki stood where he was and used the Shadow Clone Technique.

Seeing this, Nawaki also used the Shadow Clone Technique.

With the help of the shadow clones, the new home was quickly cleaned.

The four of them then went to Konoha Orphanage.

When Director Mayu learned that Natsuki and Nonō were moving, she was not surprised.

This was something that would happen sooner or later.

Especially since their fame was growing more and more, living in Konoha Orphanage was no longer very appropriate.

Natsuki and Nonō did not have too many belongings.

Together with the shadow clones, they only made one round trip and finished moving.

"Welcome to your new home!"

Nawaki smiled and clapped.

Kushina also clapped.

Regarding the move, the two of them were even happier than Natsuki and Nonō.

"Let's go shopping!"

Kushina waved her small hand and said.

"We can handle the shopping."

Nawaki coughed lightly and said.

Kushina immediately pouted.

"Let's call Tsunade-sensei."

Natsuki suggested, "If she goes, she can bring Kushina along."

When Kushina heard this, her expression instantly changed, and a smile appeared on her face.

The four of them went out and found Tsunade.

Tsunade hesitated for a moment, then agreed, but only allowed them to go to the nearest shopping street.

Kushina was very happy, skipping along the way, full of youthful energy.

Nawaki asked, "How is the Land of Rain battlefield right now?"

"At the moment, we have the upper hand because of our numbers."

Tsunade replied.

"Then when are we going over?"

Nawaki asked again.

"Soon. If not this month, then next month."

Tsunade thought briefly and said, "When we go over, we will defeat Ame in one move, and this war will be over."

Nawaki nodded and said, "I hope there will not be another war after this."

Tsunade looked as though she wanted to say something, but in the end, she only sighed inwardly.

In her view, the next Shinobi World War was unavoidable.

Kumo, in particular, would definitely be unable to sit still.

Because that was Kumo's style. The whole village was extremely martial, and they were used to taking things by force.

Kumo had not participated in this Shinobi World War, most likely because they had suffered heavy losses in the previous Shinobi World War.

The previous Shinobi World War was also the First Shinobi World War, and it had broken out because Hashirama passed away.

The most famous event was the alliance between Konoha and Kumo. Kinkaku and Ginkaku of Kumo launched a coup and killed both the Second Raikage and the Second Hokage.

Both Konoha and Kumo paid a tremendous price because of that incident.

But by the next Shinobi World War, Kumo would have already recovered.

The five of them walked around and bought quite a few things.

That evening, Natsuki cooked a large meal to celebrate their successful move into the new home.

Time passed slowly.

Another month vanished.

It was November, with only one month left until New Year.

But because of the Second Shinobi World War, Konoha did not have much of a New Year atmosphere.

Natsuki and the others had not done much over the past month. They had simply trained every day.

Nawaki, Kushina, and Nonō had all learned Shigan.

But none of them could compare to Tsunade. She had learned Shigan and Geppo, and was currently learning Tekkai.

Natsuki had learned two C-rank Wind Release ninjutsu, Wind Release: Great Breakthrough and Wind Release: Gale Palm.

At the same time, he had also developed a second Magnet Release ninjutsu called Magnet Release: Iron Sand Cuboid.

Its effect was to use iron sand to create a cuboid.

It was actually similar to the previous Magnet Release: Iron Sand Wall, except it changed from a wall into a cuboid.

"Boss, nya!"

A snow-white cat suddenly appeared.

When Natsuki saw his summon, Shirayuki, he raised an eyebrow and guessed the reason.

"Granny Cat wants you to come over, nya!"

Shirayuki stated the reason for its visit.

"I will go now."

Natsuki nodded and said.

He stopped training, greeted Nawaki and the others, then went to the Empty District with Shirayuki.

"This is the ninja tool you wanted."

Granny Cat took out the Sorcery Clima-Tact and said, "I have fulfilled the request."

"Thank you, Granny Cat."

Natsuki accepted the long, slender blue Sorcery Clima-Tact.

Although the Sorcery Clima-Tact was called a ninja tool, in truth, it was more like the scientific ninja tools from the Boruto period.

Simply put, it was a ninja tool created through advanced scientific technology and powered by chakra.

For example, a chakra-capacitor-type scientific ninja tool could release ninjutsu through the ninja tool.

It was worth mentioning that even someone who was not a shinobi could use it.

[Congratulations to the host for unlocking Nami Template Ability Four, Sorcery Clima-Tact.]

Natsuki nodded slightly.

Together with Weather Arts, which he had previously unlocked, he could now fully bring out the power of the Sorcery Clima-Tact.

"How much does it cost?"

After Natsuki put the Sorcery Clima-Tact into the Shadow Space, he asked.

"Although you provided the key materials, there were still many other materials. Including the crafting fee, it will be ten million ryō."

Granny Cat raised one finger and said.

"No problem."

Natsuki was not short on money now, so he straightforwardly paid ten million ryō.

After that, he said goodbye to Granny Cat and went to the Forest of Death.

Natsuki took out the Sorcery Clima-Tact.

After thinking briefly, he raised the Sorcery Clima-Tact.

Weather Egg: Rain Tempo!

After Natsuki input chakra, the Sorcery Clima-Tact suddenly trembled, and a white egg emerged from its tip.

The white egg cracked open, turning into cloud after cloud that flew into the sky.

Soon, rain fell as expected.

Standing in the rain, Natsuki could sense the surrounding temperature and humidity.

He could also control the amount of rainfall by adjusting the chakra he poured in.

Weather Egg: Snow Cloud!

Natsuki raised the Sorcery Clima-Tact again.

Another white egg appeared, turned into a cloud, and flew into the sky.

In less than a moment, the rain became snow.

Natsuki thought of Ice Release.

Using Ice Release on a snowy day would most likely receive a boost as well.

Weather Egg: Thunder Breed Tempo!

Another white egg appeared, but this time what drifted out was a thundercloud.

In an instant, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled within the cloud.

Natsuki pointed the Sorcery Clima-Tact at a tree in the distance.

Boom!

A bolt of lightning fell and struck the tree he pointed at.

The tree was split open and became charred black.

Natsuki rubbed his chin.

He felt that he could create Lightning Release: Kirin ahead of time.

Of course, this Lightning Release: Kirin would not be the same Lightning Release: Kirin. There was no need to waste time and energy creating it.

Natsuki dispersed the thunderclouds in the sky and raised the Sorcery Clima-Tact again.

Black Ball!

A small thundercloud wrapped in a transparent bubble, about the size of a fist, emerged from the tip of the Sorcery Clima-Tact.

With a thought from Natsuki, the Black Ball burst and released a bolt of electricity.

It did not have much power, but Black Ball could be upgraded into Thundercloud Rod.

A series of Black Balls emerged from the tip of the Sorcery Clima-Tact.

The Sorcery Clima-Tact instantly became a long lightning whip.

Natsuki swung it fiercely.

Wherever it passed, dense arcs of electricity attacked the surroundings.

After Natsuki finished testing the Sorcery Clima-Tact, he put it away.

How should he put it?

To him, the Sorcery Clima-Tact was a decent tool for boosting the battlefield.

But if it was used by someone else, it could greatly increase that person's strength.

However, the prerequisite was mastering a certain degree of meteorological knowledge.

Because he had unlocked Weather Arts, he had automatically mastered the relevant meteorological knowledge.

Natsuki felt that he could use it himself for a while first.

Once his strength improved again, he could give it to Nonō to use.

That way, while he or Nawaki was fighting, she could use the Sorcery Clima-Tact to make it rain for them.

Natsuki would not need to divide his attention.
