Naruto: Multiverse Character Templates

"He won!"

Kushina said happily, "Natsuki is still stronger!"

"Yeah."

Nawaki nodded, then suddenly thought of something and said gloomily, "I probably can't beat Minato anymore."

Natsuki possessed extraordinary reaction speed. He could instantly detect Minato after he used the Flying Raijin Jutsu and counterattack.

Nawaki could not.

He could already imagine himself being completely toyed with if he sparred against Minato.

Without Tekkai and Armament Haki, he would most likely be defeated instantly.

Even with them, he could only passively endure Minato's attacks.

Since he had no way to counterattack, he was bound to lose sooner or later.

"The Flying Raijin Jutsu is terrifying."

The more Nawaki thought about it, the more frustrated he became, and he scratched his head.

He could not think of any way to defeat Minato now that he possessed the Flying Raijin Jutsu.

Natsuki glanced at him.

This was not Nawaki's fault.

For the vast majority of shinobi, the Flying Raijin Jutsu was a nightmare.

In the original story, Minato's most exaggerated achievement was instantly defeating fifty Iwa Jonin.

That was what made the Flying Raijin Jutsu so absurd.

Any shinobi who could not react in time, even a Jonin, was little more than a foot soldier before Minato.

Combined with long-distance teleportation, he could fight or flee at will. Almost no one could stop him.

In the original story, if he had not chosen to die alongside Kushina, he would not have died.

The same was true of Senju Tobirama.

He only died because he was forced to stay behind and could not flee.

If Tobirama had abandoned the other Konoha shinobi, then with the Flying Raijin Jutsu, there was no way he would have died.

"Natsuki."

Jiraiya could not help asking, "Was that a space-time ninjutsu you used just now?"

Natsuki paused slightly.

He noticed?

However, after thinking about it, that was only natural.

Taking out so many swords at once was unreasonable no matter how one looked at it.

The only explanation was space-time ninjutsu.

"After my battle with Gravel, I continued improving my secret technique. After considering it for a long time, I eventually created a separate dimension."

Natsuki admitted, "This dimension can store swords that I projected in advance. I call it Unlimited Blade Works."

For him, this was a good opportunity.

It would further reinforce his image as a shinobi skilled at creating original ninjutsu.

In the future, if he created a new space-time ninjutsu based on the Flying Raijin Jutsu, they would find it easier to accept.

"That's incredible."

Jiraiya could not help praising him.

Ninjutsu involving time and space were not only powerful, but also unbelievably difficult to create.

The fact that Natsuki had independently created a space-time ninjutsu sounded almost impossible.

However, considering how many ninjutsu he had already created, it did not feel entirely unexpected.

"No wonder."

Minato exhaled.

Losing to Unlimited Blade Works, another space-time ninjutsu, made him feel somewhat better.

"You are now the second shinobi in Konoha to create your own space-time ninjutsu."

A trace of reminiscence and nostalgia appeared in Tsunade's eyes.

"Well done."

Orochimaru smiled faintly.

"Minato, you don't need to feel discouraged. With your current strength, there are already very few shinobi in the entire shinobi world who can defeat you."

Jiraiya looked at Minato as he spoke.

He was not merely comforting him. It was the truth.

Even if Minato could not defeat someone, he could escape using the Flying Raijin Jutsu.

Across the entire shinobi world, there were no more than five shinobi who could truly defeat him.

"Minato can also learn Sage Mode," Tsunade added.

"I haven't taken him to Mount Myōboku yet, so I don't know whether he has the talent to learn Sage Mode."

Jiraiya paused before continuing, "If he does, then combined with the Flying Raijin Jutsu, his strength might even surpass Natsuki's."

Minato's spirits immediately lifted.

Much of the disappointment from losing to Natsuki faded.

After all, he still had hope of defeating him.

Jiraiya had previously told him about Sage Mode. Its effects were terrifying and could enhance every aspect of a shinobi's abilities.

Natsuki narrowed his eyes slightly.

In the original story, Minato had indeed learned Sage Mode.

It was unclear exactly when he mastered it, but there was no doubt that his current self had encountered Sage Mode far earlier than in the original timeline.

This was the so-called butterfly effect.

Natsuki's existence had inevitably begun to influence the shinobi world.

There would be even more changes in the future.

Because Minato had mastered the Flying Raijin Jutsu so early, he was already qualified to begin learning Sage Mode.

However, like Jiraiya, his Sage Mode had flaws. It took too long to gather senjutsu chakra, and he could not maintain it for very long.

Even so, Sage Mode was still Sage Mode. It would genuinely improve his strength.

Fortunately, Natsuki already had a way to obtain Sage Mode himself.

As long as Yahiko, Konan, and Nagato reached Jonin-level strength, he could unlock Sage Mode from the Jiraiya Template.

"I'm finished!"

Nawaki wailed, "In the future, I won't just be unable to beat Natsuki. I won't be able to beat Minato either!"

He already could not defeat Minato with the Flying Raijin Jutsu.

If Minato also learned Sage Mode, Nawaki feared he would never defeat him in his entire life.

Orochimaru and Tsunade both fell into thought.

However, there was little they could do about it.

It truly would be extremely difficult for Nawaki to defeat or catch up with Natsuki and Minato.

A thought occurred to Orochimaru.

He remembered his Mokuton experiment.

If Nawaki could use Mokuton, then perhaps he would have the strength to fight them.

However, Orochimaru had not yet finished analyzing the Red Healing Potion. He would need more time.

[You have awakened the Blueno Template.]

A line of text appeared before Natsuki's eyes.

Although characters named Blueno might exist in other works, Natsuki was certain that this was Blueno from One Piece.

Blueno possessed the Door-Door Fruit and could create spatial doors, making him a space-related ability user.

However, Natsuki suspected that awakening the Blueno Template was not only related to Minato, but also to the CP9 he had established within Akatsuki.

After all, Blueno had been a member of CP9 and was skilled in the Six Powers, though he later became a member of CP0.

CP0 was also an intelligence agency, but its primary purpose was to protect the Celestial Dragons.

Overall, Natsuki was quite satisfied.

Not only had he obtained a spatial ability, but he had also completed the remaining parts of his Konoha Six Powers.

Natsuki looked at the newly awakened character template.

[Name: Blueno.]

[Period: CP9.]

[World: One Piece.]

[Rank: S.]

[Ability One: Rankyaku. Unlocked.]

[Effect: Produces a flying slash by kicking at extremely high speed and generating a blade of compressed air. It can easily cut a target in half.]

[Ability Two: Kami-e. Locked.]

[Effect: Relaxes the entire body and senses changes in the air caused by an opponent's movements, allowing the user to easily evade incoming attacks.]

[Unlock Condition: Learn Water Release: Water Body Flicker Technique.]

[Ability Three: Tekkai: Break. Locked.]

[Effect: While using Tekkai, the user strikes the target with a punch powerful enough to shatter the ground.]

[Unlock Condition: Learn Chakra Enhanced Strength.]

[Ability Four: Tekkai: Steel. Locked.]

[Effect: Further strengthens the defensive power of Tekkai, making it the strongest defensive form of Tekkai.]

[Unlock Condition: Endure the strongest attack of a Jonin during three separate battles.]

[Ability Five: Tekkai: Wheel. Locked.]

[Effect: While using Tekkai, the user spins at high speed and crashes into the target with enough power to shatter the ground.]

[Unlock Condition: Develop any advanced form of the Rasengan.]

[Ability Six: Door-Door Fruit. Locked.]

[Effect: Allows the user to create spatial doors anywhere and in any form, making it possible to infiltrate, launch surprise attacks, transport others, and evade attacks.]

[Unlock Condition: Have nine orphans in Akatsuki's CP9 each learn one of the Six Powers.]

After reading it, Natsuki thought that his guess had been correct.

Awakening the Blueno Template was directly related to establishing CP9 within Akatsuki.

Ability One was Rankyaku.

Rankyaku was one of the Six Powers and one of the rare offensive taijutsu techniques among them.

Its power exceeded even Shigan.

Ability Two was Kami-e.

Kami-e was also one of the Six Powers.

It was somewhat similar to Geppo and Soru, falling within the general category of movement techniques.

However, its greatest difference was that it incorporated prediction.

By sensing changes in the air caused by an opponent's movements, the user could evade attacks more easily.

Its unlock condition was learning Water Release: Water Body Flicker Technique.

That suited Natsuki perfectly.

He had already planned to learn Water Release: Water Body Flicker Technique.

After all, this Water Release technique from Hanzō was genuinely useful.

Abilities Three, Four, and Five were all strengthened or extended versions of Tekkai.

The Blueno Template only listed three of the Six Powers.

Rankyaku, Kami-e, and Tekkai.

In reality, Blueno could also use Geppo, Soru, and Shigan.

However, because Natsuki had already unlocked those three, the system had omitted them.

Abilities Three, Four, and Five compensated for Tekkai's greatest weakness, the inability to move while using it.

Tekkai: Break and Tekkai: Wheel transformed Tekkai into a taijutsu technique with both offensive and defensive capabilities.

Tekkai: Steel further improved Tekkai's defensive power.

The three unlock conditions were all reasonably difficult.

Natsuki now possessed talent in all seven chakra natures through the Hatake Kakashi Template.

Learning Chakra Enhanced Strength or developing a new Rasengan technique would only be a matter of time.

The only slightly troublesome condition was enduring the strongest attack of a Jonin in three separate battles.

However, there were vast differences between Jonin.

If he had to directly endure the Fourth Raikage's strongest attack, he would certainly not dare try.

But the strongest attack of an ordinary Jonin probably could not break through his multiple layers of defense.

Ability Six was the Door-Door Fruit.

The Six Powers were useful, but for Natsuki, having them was not essential.

The Door-Door Fruit, however, was an ability he could not give up.

It was also the most important ability of the Blueno Template.

The greatest effect of the Door-Door Fruit was its ability to create spatial doors anywhere.

They could be opened on walls, in the air, through flames, or even on human bodies. The user could also transform themselves into a spatial door.

Once a spatial door opened, it revealed a separate dimension.

Natsuki could freely enter and exit that dimension through the door, achieving an effect similar to spatial teleportation.

The user could also bring other people through the spatial doors.

In battle, the doors could also be opened to evade an opponent's attacks.

Compared to the Flying Raijin Jutsu, the Door-Door Fruit had the advantage when it came to spatial transportation.

The Flying Raijin Jutsu required a Flying Raijin mark.

Without a mark, the technique could not be used.

The Flying Raijin Jutsu had derivative techniques such as Flying Raijin: Guiding Thunder and Flying Raijin: Second Step.

The Door-Door Fruit could also be developed further.

Blueno had only used it in a limited number of ways.

After unlocking the Door-Door Fruit, Natsuki could attempt to develop new applications himself.

The unlock condition for Ability Six was not difficult. It would simply take time.

Nine orphans in Akatsuki's CP9 each needed to learn one of the Six Powers.

"It's rare for the three of us to gather together like this."

Jiraiya laughed.

"Natsuki, you need to cook us a feast."

"Alright."

Natsuki returned to his senses and agreed.

Orochimaru and Tsunade did not object.

Jiraiya, Minato, and the others had been away for so long. It was only natural for everyone to gather and share a meal after their return.

"I'll go get Nonō," Nawaki volunteered.

"Let me."

Minato smiled.

"I'm faster."

The corner of Nawaki's mouth twitched, and he sighed.

Why was it that, despite being a member of the Senju clan, he could neither use Mokuton nor learn the Flying Raijin Jutsu?

Minato disappeared.

The others left the training ground.

"I'll go cook."

Natsuki headed toward the kitchen.

"I'll help!"

Kushina immediately followed him.

After entering the kitchen, Natsuki handed her an apron.

Looking at Kushina, he suddenly thought of the Door-Door Fruit.

Once he unlocked it, he could secretly take her outside to have fun.

As long as they did not stay away for too long, it would be fine.

"Why are you suddenly staring into space?"

Kushina waved a hand in front of him.

"The apron suits you."

Natsuki smiled.

"It's cute."

Kushina blushed.

"It's only an apron."

"Next time, you could try wearing a dress or a maid outfit."

Natsuki blinked and pushed his luck.

"You like those?"

Kushina tilted her head.

"That sounds a little improper."

"I was only saying it casually."

Natsuki cleared his throat.

"Go wash the vegetables first."

Kushina looked at him suspiciously for a moment before turning toward the sink.

By noon, the food had been served.

"Natsuki's cooking is still the best."

Jiraiya sighed contentedly.

"I've traveled to so many places, but none of their food can compare to Natsuki's."

"Did you find the Child of Prophecy?"

Tsunade picked up a piece of chicken and placed it in her mouth, chewing slowly.

As the wonderful flavor spread across her tongue, she instinctively narrowed her eyes.

"No," Jiraiya answered.

"If the Child of Prophecy truly exists, they are most likely in one of the Five Great Shinobi Villages. No matter what, someone called the Child of Prophecy should possess exceptional talent."

Orochimaru spoke casually.

"You might as well remain in Konoha and wait for the Child of Prophecy to appear."

"I think Orochimaru has a point," Tsunade agreed.

"That is not necessarily true."

Jiraiya shook his head.

"The Great Toad Sage's prophecy never said that the Child of Prophecy would appear in one of the Five Great Shinobi Villages."

"You really are stubborn."

Orochimaru glanced at him and said nothing more.

"Let's not talk about that."

Jiraiya changed the subject.

"Natsuki, have you heard of the Daybreak Company?"

"It's a company based in the capital of the Land of Rain."

Natsuki raised his head.

"Lord Jiraiya, are you interested in it?"

"While I was traveling, I heard about the Daybreak Company in the Land of Rain."

Jiraiya chuckled.

"I'm interested in the potion they sell."

The Stamina Recovery Potion had many effects.

However, for various reasons, only one particular effect had spread widely.

It could restore a man's vigor.

"Why are you smiling so lewdly?"

Tsunade frowned.

"What kind of potion is it?"

"It's a potion for men."

Jiraiya paused before explaining, "I'm only curious whether it is as effective as the rumors claim."

"What do you mean by a potion for men?" Nawaki asked in confusion.

"Can't women use it?" Kushina asked, equally puzzled.

"Jiraiya!"

Tsunade finally understood.

She immediately stood and clenched her fist, preparing to hit him.

"Wait!"

Jiraiya was terrified and quickly shouted, "If you punch me now, we won't be able to finish eating!"

"I'll deal with you after the meal!"

Tsunade regained her composure and sat down again.

Nawaki and the others exchanged confused looks, completely unable to understand what had happened.

"Jiraiya, you've always been this unreliable, even when we were children."

Orochimaru smiled.

Jiraiya did not dare respond and could only lower his head and focus on eating.

The small incident did not affect the atmosphere of the meal.

Their lunch ended amid the lively mood of old friends reuniting after a long separation.

Jiraiya had originally wanted to ask Natsuki more about the Stamina Recovery Potion, but he feared Tsunade would hit him, so he fled immediately after eating.

Orochimaru did not stay long either.

Ever since the war ended, he had immersed himself in his experiments and had practically become a full-time researcher.

"Natsuki."

Tsunade removed her outer robe and dropped onto the sofa.

Natsuki looked at her.

She crossed her legs and leaned back against the sofa. The fabric of her sleeveless top stretched into a deep curve, looking as if it could barely contain the pressure.

His gaze drifted toward her pale skin.

However, he quickly looked away.

"Do not spend too much time around Jiraiya unless necessary," Tsunade warned.

"Understood, Tsunade-sensei."

Natsuki nodded.

"That goes for both of you too."

Tsunade looked at Kushina and Nonō.

As for Nawaki, he had volunteered to wash all the dishes from lunch.

"Tsunade-sensei."

Natsuki suddenly remembered something.

"I've created the fifth technique of the Konoha Six Powers."

"What kind of taijutsu is it?"

Tsunade leaned forward curiously.

The strain on her sleeveless top became even more noticeable.

"I call it Rankyaku."

Natsuki briefly explained its effects.

"In terms of power, it is at least an A-rank taijutsu."

Tsunade praised him.

"At this rate, you could eventually be called the Professor of Ninjutsu."

"I'm still some distance behind the Hokage."

Natsuki smiled before asking, "In exchange, Tsunade-sensei, how about teaching me Chakra Enhanced Strength?"

"I can teach you Chakra Enhanced Strength too!"

Kushina hurriedly offered.

Nonō opened her mouth but stopped herself.

She had been a step too slow.

"Natsuki, who do you want to teach you?"

Tsunade smiled teasingly.

"Tsunade-sensei should teach me."

Natsuki answered without changing his expression.

"Kushina and Nonō both have their own things to do."

(To be continued.)
