Naruto: Multiverse Character Templates

Meeting them was only an excuse.

After seeing the six Jonin, Natsuki had an idea. He would spar with them and unlock his abilities.

Now that the Second Shinobi World War had ended, a chance to defeat six Jonin in one go was extremely rare.

"Nawaki."

After Haru left, Natsuki smiled and asked, "Are you still curious now?"

"There really isn't much to see."

Nawaki scratched his head and said.

The ANBU base looked very ordinary. It was not as mysterious as the rumors made it sound.

"Will you be working at ANBU from now on?"

Nawaki suddenly thought of something and asked two questions in a row, "You won't train with us anymore?"

"I'm an ANBU division captain. There are many things I don't need to handle personally."

Natsuki answered, "When I have free time, I won't need to come to work, and I'll train with you."

"Then I'm relieved. I'll go back and train first."

Hearing this, Nawaki was quite self-aware and said, "It's your first day at work, so you must be busy. I won't bother you. See you tomorrow."

Natsuki watched him leave, then withdrew his gaze and looked at the documents on the desk.

Aside from the two rosters for the Fourth Division, there was also a fair amount of intelligence reported by the Fourth Division.

As division captain, his usual work was to screen intelligence and report important information to the ANBU Commander.

The current ANBU Commander was called Zō.

Natsuki picked up the documents and began reading.

The intelligence inside could be described as varied.

There was information from the major shinobi villages. For example, Sunagakure had created a puppet master corps.

The previous puppet master corps had been destroyed by Tsunade and Natsuki during the Second Shinobi World War.

But at least they were luckier than in the original work. Chiyo's son and daughter-in-law had not died.

Natsuki rubbed his chin.

With Sasori's parents still alive, he definitely would not kill the Third Kazekage and defect.

But that was not a big problem.

The Third Kazekage was Natsuki's target.

First, because of his cooperation with Pakura.

Second, because there was a high chance he could trigger a new character template.

Like Rasa, the Third Kazekage used Magnet Release, but there were differences between them.

Most importantly, Natsuki needed him to cause trouble as an antagonist.

Aside from the major shinobi villages, there was also intelligence from the major lands.

For example, the Twelve Guardian Ninja who protected the daimyō of the Land of Fire had been replaced yesterday.

In the original work, Sarutobi Asuma had also once served as one of the Twelve Guardian Ninja.

[Congratulations to the host for unlocking Unohana Retsu Template Ability Six: Hadō.]

The line of text that suddenly appeared before his eyes made Natsuki pause slightly.

But he quickly reacted.

The unlock condition for the Unohana Retsu Template's Hadō was becoming the captain of ANBU's Fourth Division.

Now that he had officially taken office today, it naturally met the requirement.

In Bleach, Unohana Retsu had only displayed two Hadō, but the system gave him more than just two.

After all, she was publicly recognized as an expert in Hadō.

There were many Hadō spells, and each one had a corresponding number. The higher the number, the greater the power.

Unohana had used two Hadō.

One was Hadō #31, Shakkahō.

Its effect was to release a crimson fireball from the hand.

The other was Hadō #88, Hiryū Gekizoku Shinten Raihō.

Its effect was to release a massive beam from the hand, looking similar to a laser cannon.

Natsuki felt that he could try it out in the afternoon.

With his current identity and status, he no longer needed to explain the source of his abilities to anyone.

If asked, he could simply say he created them himself.

Even if someone found it unbelievable, they would not doubt his loyalty to Konoha.

As long as he was a Konoha shinobi and an outstanding inheritor of the Will of Fire, other issues could be ignored.

Time slowly passed.

One o'clock in the afternoon.

Natsuki arrived at the ANBU training ground on time.

The Fourth Division's six Jonin were already waiting.

When he appeared, the six Jonin's gazes fell on him, and they sized him up one after another.

Natsuki was a leader who had been parachuted in.

Under normal circumstances, a leader who suddenly took office like this would find it difficult to convince the group.

But Natsuki was different. His achievements in the Second Shinobi World War left them with nothing to say.

Especially since some of them had seen Natsuki on the battlefield.

"The main purpose of gathering everyone today is to get to know and understand you."

Natsuki smiled slightly and said, "From now on, we will be colleagues working together. I hope you'll take care of me."

"You're too polite, Natsuki-sama."

An ANBU Jonin immediately answered, "It is our honor to work with you, Natsuki-sama."

Natsuki looked at him.

The man's information quickly surfaced in his mind. Asahino, captain of the Fourth Division's First Squad, skilled in Fire Release and Earth Release.

Natsuki also knew why Asahino was so enthusiastic.

Because he had led a squad during the Second Shinobi World War and had personally seen Natsuki's performance.

"Understanding one another can't be done through words alone."

Natsuki stated his purpose, "We'll spar one by one. After I understand your strengths, I can arrange missions more effectively."

The six Jonin immediately looked at one another.

Was this really to understand their strength?

Or was it the first show of authority from a newly appointed leader?

But no matter what, the first rule of ANBU was to obey orders.

Since Natsuki proposed a spar, they did not dare refuse and all agreed.

"Then I'll go first."

Asahino stepped forward and said.

"Go ahead."

Natsuki nodded.

The other five Jonin withdrew to the edge of the field.

Although they all knew Asahino would most likely lose to Natsuki, some of the Jonin who had never seen Natsuki in action were still very curious.

After all, rumors were only rumors. Without seeing it for themselves, some disbelief was inevitable.

The sound of cutting wind rang out.

The moment the battle began, Asahino threw both hands forward, sending a large number of shuriken flying out.

At the same time, he widened the distance while forming hand seals.

Natsuki stood in place without moving.

Armament Haki emerged from his body and formed a barrier.

The shuriken struck it and were all bounced away, failing to have any effect.

Many ANBU Jonin revealed surprised expressions.

There was actually a defensive ninjutsu that did not require hand seals?

Fire Release: Great Flame Technique!

Asahino stopped and suddenly opened his mouth.

Fire Release chakra sprayed from his mouth, transforming into surging flames in the air.

Terrifying heat spread outward, distorting the air.

The flames swept toward Natsuki like a roaring gale.

Hadō #31, Shakkahō!

Natsuki raised both hands.

In Bleach, adding an incantation to Kidō could increase its power.

Abandoning the incantation reduced its power somewhat, but increased the release speed.

In an instant, flames appeared out of thin air.

The flames gathered together and suddenly shot forward like a cannonball, moving at extreme speed.

Wherever it passed, the air seemed to tear apart, producing a sharp sound.

With a boom, the flames collided.

What followed was a sky full of flying sparks.

But in just one second, a hole was blasted through the gale-like flames.

The cannonball-like flame continued forward without losing momentum.

Asahino could not help showing astonishment.

Natsuki actually knew Fire Release?

And it was this powerful?

Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall!

Asahino quickly formed hand seals, and an earthen wall rose in front of him.

The earthen wall trembled violently and blocked the flames.

Natsuki raised his hand.

Hadō #88, Hiryū Gekizoku Shinten Raihō!

A massive beam formed instantly.

The earthen wall was immediately reduced to dust.

Asahino's heart trembled as he felt an unprecedented crisis.

He instinctively used the Body Flicker Technique, but he still failed to completely avoid it.

With a dull impact, part of the beam struck him, sending him flying backward.

Natsuki waved his hand casually.

Two Kurosawa appeared out of thin air and stabbed into the ground on Asahino's left and right.

After obtaining Unlimited Blade Works, he no longer needed to project on the spot during battle or take out swords he had projected in advance from Shadow Space.

He could directly summon projected swords from Unlimited Blade Works.

And there was no limit to the number.

Of course, this required him to have stored enough projected swords in advance.

"I admit defeat."

Asahino struggled to his feet, looked at Kurosawa, and spoke.

It was no longer a secret that Natsuki's ninja tools could explode.

If the two Kurosawa had exploded just now, he would probably have been blown to pieces.

Natsuki nodded.

Asahino had lost so quickly for two reasons.

First, the two Hadō were powerful, and after abandoning the incantation, they could still be released instantly.

Second, Asahino did not understand his abilities.

But the next ANBU Jonin definitely would not be defeated by two Hadō so easily.

After all, they now had some understanding.

Natsuki glanced at the system.

Defeating Asahino had increased the progress of Ability Three and Ability Four of the Jiraiya Template.

That was because Ability Three required defeating three Earth Release Jonin, while Ability Four required defeating five Fire Release Jonin.

Asahino's Earth Release and Fire Release were both at the Jonin level, so he satisfied both conditions at the same time.

But not all Jonin were like that.

Although one had to master at least two chakra natures to become a Jonin, mastering them did not mean being proficient in them.

It was also possible to have one release at Jonin level while the other was close to Jonin level.

Aside from that, there was another situation, taijutsu and secret technique Jonin.

For example, Might Guy was a pure taijutsu Jonin.

Then there were clans such as the Aburame clan, Yamanaka clan, and Nara clan. Their secret techniques were equivalent to a chakra nature.

At that moment, the second ANBU Jonin walked onto the field.

It was Haru, the one who had introduced the situation to Natsuki yesterday.

Her information surfaced in Natsuki's mind. Codename Haru, captain of the Fourth Division's Second Squad, skilled in Earth Release and Lightning Release.

Earth Release could unlock Jiraiya Template Ability Three, while Lightning Release could increase the progress of Misaka Mikoto Template Ability Two.

Lightning Release: Thunderclap!

Haru formed hand seals, and a huge spear of lightning arrived in front of Natsuki in the blink of an eye.

Lightning Release ninjutsu, like Wind Release ninjutsu, was known for its speed.

As Natsuki stepped back, he waved his hand.

A Sword of the Thunder God appeared out of thin air and collided with the lightning spear.

Broken Phantasm!

The instant they collided, the Sword of the Thunder God exploded violently.

For a moment, lightning spread in all directions like fireworks.

Haru's gaze focused, and a kunai wrapped in lightning arrived before Natsuki again.

Natsuki did not dodge this time.

He raised his hand and grabbed the kunai.

The pupils of the six ANBU Jonin contracted at the same time, and their hearts shook.

Mana Burst!

Armament Haki!

Reinforcement Magecraft!

Natsuki caught the kunai.

The terrifying cutting force tore at his palm like an electric saw, but it failed to cause any damage.

The six ANBU Jonin were dumbfounded.

This was the first time they had ever seen someone directly grab a kunai with their hand.

Especially when it was a kunai wrapped in Lightning Release chakra.

At that moment, they all felt that the rumors about Natsuki were not exaggerated.

Haru came back to her senses and formed hand seals again.

Dazzling lightning spread outward, and in the blink of an eye, countless lightning spheres formed in the air.

The lightning spheres whistled forward, sealing off every space Natsuki could use to dodge.

But Natsuki still had no intention of dodging.

He once again used Unlimited Blade Works.

Of course, without expanding the barrier.

With a flick of both hands, he threw out six Swords of the Thunder God.

Boom, boom, boom!

A series of explosions erupted, engulfing all the lightning spheres.

In the blink of an eye, a dazzling and chaotic screen of lightning formed between Natsuki and Haru.

Haru could not help taking a deep breath.

Where exactly did those Swords of the Thunder God come from?

Combined with Natsuki's ability to make ninja tools explode, it was practically invincible.

Most importantly, Natsuki looked very relaxed.

With a serious expression, Haru formed hand seals again.

This time, she used her full strength.

Lightning Release: Four-Pillar Bind!

Four lightning pillars descended from the sky and landed around Natsuki.

In an instant, lightning spread out and trapped him.

Natsuki raised a brow and remembered it.

In the original work, ANBU shinobi had used Lightning Release: Four-Pillar Bind and Lightning Release: Sixteen-Pillar Bind to trap the summoned beasts of the Six Paths of Pain.

Of course, the main one had been the latter, which was the upgraded version of the former.

Seeing that Lightning Release: Four-Pillar Bind had succeeded, Haru immediately raised two fingers.

The next second, a large amount of lightning surged out and swallowed Natsuki.

But no one, including Haru, believed that anything would happen to Natsuki.

And that was indeed the case.

Railgun!

A kunai flew out of Natsuki's hand.

The kunai flew upward and easily tore a hole through the encircling lightning.

Then the kunai exploded, and Natsuki used Geppo to disappear from where he stood.

Haru subconsciously raised her head and saw Natsuki descending from the sky.

One-Sword Style, Iai, Lion Song!

Minazuki, the Kusanagi sword that had been renamed, stopped in front of her neck.

"I... I admit defeat."

Haru swallowed and said.

Natsuki withdrew Minazuki and took a step back.

The four ANBU Jonin who had not yet entered the field exchanged glances, all sharing the same thought. They really could not beat him.

Soon, the third ANBU Jonin walked onto the field.

Natsuki recalled his information.

Codename Taka, skilled in genjutsu and swordsmanship, captain of the Fourth Division's Third Squad.

Swordsmanship was of no use to Natsuki, but genjutsu could unlock Unohana Retsu's Ability Five.

Taka drew his ninja blade in an instant.

He quickly rushed in front of Natsuki and slashed out.

With a clang, Natsuki's Minazuki blocked the strike.

Taka felt a wave of force rush toward him, but he gritted his teeth and maintained the stalemate.

The next second, he formed a hand seal with one hand.

Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing Technique!

This was his common tactic, swordsmanship combined with genjutsu. When caught off guard, even a Jonin could fall for it.

He had learned it from the shinobi of the Uchiha clan.

However, Uchiha shinobi could cast genjutsu with the Sharingan, unlike him, who still needed to form hand seals.

But just as he formed the first seal, his body suddenly trembled, and an invisible mental shockwave struck him.

A dazed expression appeared on his face, while his heart was filled with shock.

Because he had fallen into a genjutsu.

And Natsuki's genjutsu did not require hand seals?

He quickly released the genjutsu, but it was already too late. Minazuki was already pressed against his neck.

"I admit defeat."

Taka said with sincere admiration.

He had not expected Natsuki to possess such advanced genjutsu.

Natsuki smiled and nodded.

What he had used just now was actually Figure Eyes, which controlled Taka for an instant.

Taka did not know Natsuki could use genjutsu, so he had no guard against it.

Soon, the fourth ANBU Jonin entered the field.

He was the captain of the Fourth Division's Fourth Squad, Aburame Kenpei.

As a shinobi of the Aburame clan, he undoubtedly used kikaichū.

The only pity was that he could not help Natsuki unlock any related ability.

Secret Technique: Spindle Technique!

Kenpei silently raised both hands.

Densely packed kikaichū flew out from his sleeves.

They surged forward like a whirlwind.

Hadō #31, Shakkahō!

Natsuki brought his hands together, and crimson flames transformed into a cannonball that flew out.

The moment it touched the kikaichū, it exploded violently.

Many kikaichū turned charred black in the flames and fell to the ground.

But the surviving kikaichū began gnawing at the flames.

Secret Technique: Insect Sphere!

Kenpei's body shook, and another large swarm of kikaichū flew out.

They joined with the earlier kikaichū. After devouring the flames completely, they rushed toward Natsuki.

Spiritual Pressure!

Natsuki stood still as vast chakra surged out.

The kikaichū, which looked like a dark cloud, suddenly stopped and froze in place.

Natsuki then threw out four Swords of the Thunder God.

Broken Phantasm!

The vast majority of the kikaichū were reduced to ash in the explosions.

A look of shock appeared in Kenpei's eyes.

Just now, he had clearly felt the fear transmitted back by the kikaichū.

It was that fear that made them unable to move.

But Kenpei did not understand.

Logically speaking, kikaichū feared neither heaven nor earth.

The Aburame clan had existed for so many years, yet there had never been any mention of kikaichū being afraid of anything.

It had to be said that Natsuki's performance brought him an enormous shock.

Secret Technique: Insect Cocoon!

Kenpei urgently hatched even more kikaichū.

Secret Technique: Insect Tornado!

Kenpei raised both hands.

Countless kikaichū flew out and formed a tornado around Natsuki.

The tornado tightened, and countless kikaichū flew toward him, intending to devour his chakra.

The Eclipse!

Natsuki raised his hands and gripped two Kurosawa.

The next second, flashes of sword light appeared.

The tornado that had just reached him suddenly stopped, and the kikaichū fell one after another, piling into a tall mound of corpses around his feet.

"What terrifying swordsmanship."

Kenpei's gaze focused, then he said, "Natsuki-sama, I admit defeat."

He had already used all the strongest secret techniques he had mastered, but none of them had worked.

If the fight continued, there would only be one result, defeat.

With the four squad captains, meaning the four team leaders, admitting defeat, only two Jonin who served as squad members remained.

Their strength was inferior to the four squad captains, and in the end, they lost without any suspense.

Of these two Jonin, one was skilled in genjutsu and Fire Release, while the other was skilled in Earth Release and Fire Release.

Aside from increasing the progress of his corresponding abilities, Natsuki also unlocked one ability.

Jiraiya Template Ability Three, Earth Release: Swamp of the Underworld.

This Earth Release was very useful against large creatures.

Of course, there was also an additional gain. Natsuki's strength had received the recognition of the six ANBU Jonin.

From now on, in ANBU's Fourth Division, his word would be absolute.
